Safeway closes the doors By Martha Wickett OBSeRVeR STAFF
Tears and hugs were in abundance on Thursday, Safeway’s last day in Salmon Arm. The store closed its doors on Nov. 5 at 6 p.m., after operating in the community since 1980. “It’s been a really difficult day,” remarked Kevin carson, a Safeway employee for 38 years, as he chatted with longtime customer Mark Pugh, who expresses condolences. “It’s been 15 years coming up in November,” recalls Pugh, referring to how long he’s been coming to the Salmon Arm store. every Sunday morning, he says, starting when his kids were small and were playing football. “It’s kind of sad to see it going. My internal GPS comes here automatically. I’ll have to program it to somewhere else.” You get to know so carson says many many people – then customers have been something like this coming in, not neceshappens, it’s like sarily to shop, but to say losing part of your goodbye. “I had one customer family. who comes in regularly. She has a scooter – she said ‘Kevin, who’s going to look after me Kevin Carson now?’” He explains she lives Safeway nearby and it’s not employee too easy for her to get around. “It’s very heartwarming to realize how much we’ve impacted people’s lives. You get to know so many people – then something like this happens, it’s like losing part of your family.” like most of his co-workers, he’ll be heading to another Safeway, his in Kamloops. Before that, he’ll spend five days in Salmon Arm helping to clear out the store and wrap things up. like carson, Todd carscadden agrees it’s a tough time. “It’s very sad – all the customers, employees, it’s like one big family,” he says.

Patriotism: Peter Kilby, retired brigadier-general, displays his service medals against a backdrop of
other framed military accomplishments earned in his career with Canada’s Regular and Reserve Forces.
Remembering his service Military: Peter Kilby shares his insights into the Armed Forces. By Barb Brouwer OBSeRVeR STAFF
A retired brigadier general with an impressive army career behind him was interested in the military long before he enlisted. Peter Kilby’s uncle Gordon was killed at Vimy Ridge in the First World War. “At a very young age, I knew who he was, where he’d been and what he’d done,” says Kilby of his mother’s older brother and how he invented his own “war” games as a youngster. “Harrison Mills, the little place where I was born and raised, didn’t have much so I did a lot of imagining and playing.” Kilby’s interest was also piqued by the Home Guard guarding bridges nearby during the Second World War.
“My mother was probably really worried that things would happen,” he says of his decision to join the Army Reserves in chilliwack in 1950. like a duck to water, Kilby discovered he thoroughly enjoyed the experience. “We were all pretty much farm boys and the major in command of the company had won the Military cross in Italy,” he says. “We were impressed; he was a major with a big medal.” Kilby’s military career continued with a one-year stint with the Royal Westminster Regiment followed by a transfer to the B.c. regiment in Vancouver which, at that time, was a tank regiment. He served there for about five years when he was advised to join the Regular Forces. After conferring with his wife, Barbara, Kilby went into the Royal ca-
nadian corps of Signals for five years. “My last year-and-a-half was spent as the signal officer to the 2nd Battalion of the Royal canadian Regiment, which had a parachute element,” he says with a glint in his eye. The couple moved to Salmon Arm in 1971 where Kilby began a teaching career and shared his extensive military expertise by getting involved with the local Rocky Mountain Ranger cadet corps. Greater involvement followed when he accepted an invitation to return to the Reserves with the Rocky Mountain Rangers unit in Kamloops. His command lasted from 1980 to 1984 when he was asked to take command of the entire brigade. He ended See veterans on page A2

Veterans deserve support Continued from front his career with the rank of brigadier general and was a familiar presence at many military and legion events, including the Salmon Arm Cenotaph on Remembrance Day, often taking the salute. Kilby was so well regarded that, in 2001, 2887 Royal Canadian Army Cadet Corps in 100 Mile House named their new training facility after him. Much more than an agent of force, Kilby says the Canadian military is a well-oiled social organization. “There are so many things going on in society and the societies we support,” he says. “We’ve got Canadian soldiers and sailors all over the world in penny packets, mostly mentoring.” Over time, he has been very critical of the lack of support given to the military by the Canadian government, mostly with regard to underfunding and lack of sufficient personnel, with many soldiers repeatedly being sent on dangerous peacekeeping tours to places like Somalia, Rwanda, Cyprus and Bosnia. On a number of occasions, he has also taken issue with changes in higher military echelons that increasingly

saw many officers considering their own careers over the welfare of their troops. “For myself, if you take on a leadership role, you’ve got to make sure you really look after your people,” he says, be they cadets, Reserves or Reg Forces. “If people are really committed, it’s amazing the wonders they work.” Like many Canadians, Kilby was outraged by former prime minister Stephen Harper’s contention there is no contract between Canadians and the military – no special obligation to veterans. “The impression I get from fairly close observation to what was going on was Harper worked to achieve something if it was on his agenda,” Kilby says, noting the Canadian military was well taken care of when Afghanistan was running hot. “That’s because he had a chief of staff who scared the crap out of him and fought for them (soldiers). I think that’s been the stamp of all of Harper’s achievements – who carried the biggest stick and wielded it.” Kilby calls Harper’s move to replace lifetime pension support with single $1 million payments to veterans shameful. “Most of these young
men and women are being maimed and killed at a stage in life when $1 million does not mean very much,” he says of the often badly traumatized veterans. “They do things that they shouldn’t be doing for us. We were served far and above the normal expectation of service, I think.” Kilby is no less critical of Harper’s attempts to impress by sending four Canadian Hornets to join the campaign against ISIS. “We never left the requirement for peace and I don’t see the justification, he says. “I don’t see any benefit of sending over dribs and drabs.” Giving a satisfied
smile and a thumbs up to the change in government, Kilby has more hope for the future of the Armed Forces, and high hopes for Jonathan Vance, Canada’s new chief of defence staff and his ability to deal with the issues facing today’s military. “He is a very determined man and he’s going to push through things to try to clean it up,” he says. Kilby’s eyes light up with pride at the mention of his son, Acton, whose own career began with the Rocky Mountain Rangers. He is currently the military attaché to Canada’s High Commissioner in Australia and New Zealand.

Vimy tour guide gets new understanding of war and the sacrifice made by so many Canadians at Vimy and all over the fields of France and Belgium that changed the course of our country forever.” Gomme asked the Observer for information on the names on the local cenotaph.

Reid Gomme has developed an understanding of the Great War that few have the opportunity to do. The 19-year-old University of Alberta student studying political science and French is a Vimy Memorial tour guide with the Canadian Department of Veterans’ Affairs. After a yearlong application, the Salmon Arm Secondary grad landed the coveted job at the memorial in northern France. “I took this post because the site at Vimy helps visitors, Canadian and otherwise, to be educated and remember the Great War in a way no other place can,” he says of his four-month position that ends on Dec. 14. “I first visited the site in the spring of 2014 with my grandparents and I was stunned by the many shell and mine craters pocking the land, trench lines weaving their way around these gaping holes.” Gomme says visiting the site gave him a glimpse into the horrors soldiers experienced some 100 years ago.

I am reminded of how fortu-
nate I am to be over here at this very moment, aided by those family and friends that have supported me in my home community,” he says. “And I am reminded of how important it is to remember those service people who made this same voyage for the sake of their friends, family and country in a very different context a century ago.”

Stop the clock: Citizens would like Daylight Saving scrapped. By Martha Wickett OBSERVER STAFF
It is 8 a.m. Friday and the phone rings. It’s Ron Toyota, the mayor of Creston. He explains he didn’t mean to phone the Observer quite so early. It’s 9 a.m. in Creston and he’d forgotten that Salmon Arm has just changed to Daylight Saving Time – a timely illustration why he’s not thrilled with Creston’s habit of following Mountain Standard Time. Unlike most of the province, Creston doesn’t switch to Daylight Saving, so part of the year its clocks match those in Calgary and the other part, Vancouver. Several towns in the Peace River Regional District such as Chetwynd, Fort St. John and Tumbler Ridge also stay on Mountain Standard Time but, unlike Creston, they’re not stranded in time. “It’s confusing,” Toyota says, giving the example of the regional hospital in Cranbrook 100 kilometres away. “We’re in between the time changes, so depending on the time of
year you go, you could miss your medical appointment.” However, Toyota’s view isn’t unanimous. A couple of years ago the city considered doing an opinion poll, but it didn’t fly. He explains 15,000 people reside in the Creston Valley while there are only 5,000 in Creston. “Unless you get a consensus from everybody, you can’t forward it to the B.C. government.” Recently, many people have been lobbying to have Daylight Saving Time relegated to a dark place in the past. Salmon Arm’s Glen Jackson is one. His letter expressing opposition to the twice-ayear change was forwarded to city council. “I’m sick and tired of this time change thing,” he told the Observer. “It’s really hard on animals and it’s really hard on people.” He notes that he and his spouse have owned lots of pets, and the time change always throws them for a loop. “It’s a routine for them. An hour might not be much, but

Bad time: Glen Jackson is one of many who would
like to see the switch to Daylight Saving Time shelved. when you look at it from their perspective, it’s a big change in their life... They’re innocent animals and they don’t understand.” He assumes it must play havoc with children as well. Jackson also points out that his spouse works a night shift, so loses an hour of pay when the time changes. Because her shifts change, she doesn’t get it back when the time reverts. Johnson doesn’t care if the community stays on Pacific or Mountain time, just as long as
it stays. He’ll be signing an online petition that a Kamloops resident started, which already has about 23,000 signatures. It can be found at the change.org website under Stop the Time Change in British Columbia. Jackson thinks even a regional zone would be an improvement. “If Kamloops is on the bandwagon, I don’t see why Enderby, Kelowna and Vernon wouldn’t want to get on this too.”

A Salmon Arm roofing company has been fined by WorkSafe BC for violating safety rules designed to protect workers from falls. Integrity Roofing was fined a total of $5,982 for an incident when an inspection found that two of the firm’s workers, including a supervisor, were roofing a newly built hay shed without using personal fall protection gear, nor was any other type of fall protection in place. Integrity Roofing is appealing the decision.
A WorkSafe BC report released to the public stated this violation exposed the workers to a risk of falling 4.5 metres or 15 feet. It also indicated tripping hazards on the roof including air lines and piles of roofing material. “The firm failed to provide its workers with information, instruction, training and supervision needed to ensure their health and safety, a repeated violation,” states the report. In a statement to the Observer, Integrity Roofing says the incident took place in August of 2013.

Weighing the deal: Organic dairy farmer Jack McLeod poses with a heifer on his farm’s pasture.
Dairy farmers ‘cautiously optimistic’ about trade deal by Martha Wickett OBSERVER STAFF
The devil is in the details, but at first glance the Trans-Pacific Partnership is not as bad as envisioned. Dairy farmer Jack McLeod expresses this view when asked about the controversial deal that was feared by many with supplymanaged products – mainly dairy, poultry and egg producers. McLeod said under the agreement the dairy industry will lose 3.25 per cent of its market but will receive compensation. “Honestly I think it’s the best we could have hoped for. We are losing that market share but they are compensating for it, supposedly. He said the rumours appear to be worse than the actual outcome. “There were some really dire rumours and speculation that we could lose up to 10 per cent of the market, so
when it came out that it was just over three, it was a bit of a relief. It’s still not good but it’s better than it could have been, let’s put it that way.” McLeod said he will reserve judgement, though, until all the details have been made public. “We’re assuming that on the remainder of the market, the tariffs are staying at 200 per cent,” he said. “But if they’re going to start phasing those down, then all of a sudden you might start getting more milk coming than we anticipated, so the devil is in the details.” Henry Bremer, president of the Kamloops Okanagan Dairy Association, expresses a similar sentiment. “We keep hearing bits and pieces. There’s a little bit of mixed feelings. Probably you could say we’re cautiously optimistic,” he said. “We’re glad that supply management got supported through-
out the process of negotiations, but a little disappointed we had to give up three-and-aquarter per cent. I guess there were a lot of details to be worked out but how they’re worked out might help with the loss of the market.” Overall, he said, the association is pleased a deal was completed that extends support for local dairy farmers and their families. Regarding concerns about quality of dairy to be imported to replace the 3.25 per cent of the Canadian market, McLeod said he can’t comment as he’s not sure where it will be coming from. Bremer said it’s hard to know, but expectations are it will be fluid milk coming from the U.S. He said the quality is pretty good but growth hormones are allowed. “If we’re talking other countries, there could be other concerns.”
At a recent business forum in Salmon Arm, Bryan Yu, senior economist with Central 1 Credit Union, the organization that overseas all credit unions in B.C. and Ontario, responded to a question about the TPP. “Generally speaking it would be good, except for some sectors – dairy, cheese, the auto sector – there would be less need for Canadian and North American parts. There are some losers,” he said. “But the point is you’re expanding your partners. Canada is a small country, a small market, we need to get products to market… If we would not be part of a trading block, we would be shut out of those opportunities. There is no question in my mind we should be part of that block.” The TPP is a proposed agreement between 12 Pacific Rim countries that was signed on Oct. 5.

New PM, new attitude
Justin Trudeau knows how to send a message — and he clearly told Canadians this week that things are very different now. There will be no long wait for Parliament to be recalled. He wants his government to start early next month, but that decision is not his alone to make as it will come from his cabinet. Government by cabinet is back, he told the country. First, however, Trudeau will take his message to the world stage, attending four summits in the next three weeks, including the G20 gathering in Turkey in two weeks — arguably the most important as it brings together 20 developed and developing countries and the European Union. He’ll be heading to Malta for a gathering of Commonwealth countries at the end of the month, as well as the United Nations Climate Change Conference that opens in Paris on Nov. 30. Trudeau will also be going to the Philippines for an Asia-Pacific Economic Co-operation conference. In other words, Canada will have a big presence on the world stage. His cabinet is unlike any other in Canadian history. It is one that “looks like Canada,” he said, with gender parity, diversity and a lot of new faces. Asked afterward by media — in itself a new message given the disdain Trudeau’s predecessor had for reporters — why he chose that cabinet, his answer was short and sweet: “Because it’s 2015.” You could almost imagine him adding a big, “Duh!” to that declaration. His first bill, Trudeau said, will be reducing taxes on the middle class by adding one per cent tax to what he called the one per cent of Canadians. What will he do about students graduating from post-secondary institutions saddled with debt? Change the rules so repayment isn’t required until they’re making at least $25,000 a year. That statement drew applause from the crowd on the lawn of Rideau Hall, where a very public swearing-in ceremony took place. Sometimes during his question-and-answer session, the message came in the words he chose. His government will be one of evidence-based policies. In those three words, Canadians can expect scientists who are allowed to talk about their work. Canadians can maybe even expect research to be done because it needs to be done, not because it serves industry, as was former prime minister Stephen Harper’s viewpoint. It was good to hear Trudeau also say his government believes in access to information and answering hard questions by reporters. The day of every government word being vetted by the Prime Minister’s Office appears to also be gone. This is a prime minister who is not afraid of Canadians — and it’s a welcome change. He’s starting out strongly, boldly and busily. It will be fascinating watching it all unfold. -Dale Bass is the associate editor of Kamloops This Week.

Editorial
Election change won’t come easy Canada’s new prime minister, Justin Trudeau, is carrying around a lengthy laundry list of promises in the wake of the election. Perhaps none stir up greater reaction than his pledge to re-examine Canada’s “first-past-the-post” electoral system. Trudeau’s 32-point plan to “restore democracy” included creating an all-party parliamentary committee to look at the potential alternatives, including proportional representation, ranked ballots, mandatory voting and online voting. Among the alternatives to the first-past-the-post, the strongest and most frequently suggested is proportional representation, in which the seats in the Commons are apportioned according to each party’s share of the popular vote. This would make it almost impossible for any party to gather
a majority of seats, increasing the likelihood of coalition governments. Neither first-past-the-post nor the proportional representation is without faults or likely to remove voter dissatisfaction entirely. The task of fine-tuning and weighing the electoral process to ensure fair proportional representation in each riding would seem to be endless. Where would such well-meaning but arbitrary tampering begin, and where would it end? The new prime minister will have his work cut out for him living up to the promises made during the campaign. And few promises will be more eagerly awaited, and more heavily scrutinized, than his decision on the future of Canadian elections. -–Oak Bay News

The Observer asked: Should stores refrain from putting up Christmas displays until after Remembrance Day?
Jen Koochin “Stores should wait until after Remembrance Day out of respect to the veterans.”
Matthew Holmes “The stores should wait at least a week after Remembrance Day to put up decorations.”
Bev Minaker “There are certain times of the year that you celebrate, and respect for Remembrance Day should have its place.”
Alan Young “I start putting up my Christmas decorations on Dec. 1. That is when the Christmas season begins...”
Josie Lofting “Stores should hold off setting up Christmas decorations around Remembrance Day out of respect.”
SABNES Foreshore trail should be inclusive volunteers would also be threatened SABNES was set up 25 years ago to preserve habitat, educate residents and regulate access to the wildlife sanctuary as well as to advise on all matters concerning the Salmon Arm Bay. The organization has had its ups and downs. At the moment, with a strong board and a group of enthusiastic volunteer workers, needed projects have been completed mostly on time. The boardwalks have needed repairing, the new bridge on the island has once again given access to the trail across the centre of the island and plans are in the works for enhancing habitat at the Raven end of the trail. After high water, each volunteer routinely brushes back the growth along an allotted 200-metre section of trail. Those who pass as work is being done express their great appreciation. As the volunteers get older a new group of younger volunteers is needed. If the area remains a well-protected sanctuary, the enthusiasm will remain among those who wish to see habitat maintained at a high level. If the upcoming council decision turns the area into a dog park, I believe it will be very hard to maintain the present level of enthusiasm. There are, after all, more than 50 kilometres of trails where dogs are welcome. I hope we can leave these three kilometres for the undisturbed wildlife. I hope that dog owners will bear this in mind as they communicate with council before or on Nov. 23. Tom Brighouse
COMMENTS WELCOME The Observer welcomes letters but reserves the right to edit for brevity, taste, and legality. Letters must be under 300 words. We do not print anonymous letters. Letters can be emailed to newsroom@saobserver. net or dropped off to the office at 171 Shuswap St.
The city is being asked by the Salmon Arm Bay Nature Enhancement Society to ban citizens and visitors with leashed dogs from the foreshore trail. Contrary to common understanding, the facts are that the city owns the 10 metrewide trail that runs along the foreshore to Raven subdivision and has in place a bylaw requiring dogs on the trail to be leashed and under control. The foreshore path is an essential element of the Salmon Arm trail network, linking the Salmon Arm waterfront with Raven subdivision, Coyote Park and the areas beyond. It is the only easily accessible and safe route from Raven to town and is used by walkers, runners, cyclists and yes dog owners, including importantly not only residents but the Visitors that we as a community are working so hard to attract. The foreshore trail is a city, and
hence taxpayer owned, community asset. Council has been incorrectly advised by SABNES that dog use has or will have a materially adverse effect on wildlife. The reality however is that wildlife flourishes despite the noisy and ground-shaking trains that rumble by hourly. And that the real threat to wildlife is natural predators, including the coyotes and birds of prey, that live along the foreshore. Despite what SABNES incorrectly states, there is no evidence that dogs on a leash will have any significant effect on wildlife. In fact ,many bird and wildlife sanctuaries allow such use. SABNES makes a valuable contribution to our community, however there is no reasonable basis for granting their request to change the existing bylaw and to exclude anyone from responsible use of our trail.
Our goal should be to be as inclusive as possible, encouraging and supporting responsible use of our community trail network. The health, environmental and economic benefits are obvious. This is our trail, it is owned by the taxpayers, including the many dog owners in our community. Lets not permit it to be hijacked by an albeit well-meaning private- interest group. There will be an open forum on this issue at the council meeting on the evening of Nov. 23rd. I encourage you to attend with your friends and family. If you cannot attend, call, email or write a letter supporting continued open and responsible trail use. Oppose the request by SABNES to limit your access. Peter Robertson
School board needs to review Raven bus route I was shocked to read in your Oct. 28 issue, that the school board turned down the parents’ appeal to not cancel the school bus route for high school students in Raven and along Lakeshore Road. Aside from the fact that it will be a 9 kilometre round trip for the students to walk in the winter (and yes, uphill both ways), my main concern is for the safety of those kids. I challenge the school district board to walk in their shoes, either early morning or late afternoon during low light, to walk the 4.4 kilometres from Raven to the Sullivan campus. I guarantee you will be nervous every time you hear a vehicle approaching as there are no sidewalks or shoulders
to walk along. The stretch from Raven to Appleyard is a hilly, curvy narrow stretch of road that I had forbidden my own teenagers to walk along in the past. I dread to think about their ability to walk this stretch daily during the winter months, without an accident occurring. To suggest they walk down to the nature trail, to the downtown, then back up, puts them well within the 4.8 km guideline for the bus service. Funding for dangerous routes like this one should be given top priority. I realize the board is under pressure to make everincreasing cuts to their budget annually, but this is not the place for it. Not all parents have the ability to drive their kids to and
from school for a myriad of reasons. It’s not fair to punish the “have-nots.” One temporary solution might be for the high school kids to ride with the elementary and middle school students, if there’s room, at least to school in the morning. I realize the start and finish times are different, but I’m sure they would appreciate the earlier ride, at least, to school. Just a thought. I am a resident of Raven but no longer have teenagers attending the high school. The only thing I stand to gain from this letter is in hoping a review, under these special circumstances, could be granted before the spring of 2016. For safety’s sake. Deb McDonald
Loyal customer saddened by the loss of Safeway I am so sad and so sorry to lose you after 30-plus years of shopping at Safeway. I was the very first customer all those years ago and had a few adventures with you. Once, through a jumble of circumstances, I arrived home (45 kilometres away) without my several bags of groceries. My car was loaded with other things and I thought
that it included my groceries, but I had left them in the cart. “No problem,” they said, “we’ll replace them all.” Someone had taken them from the abandoned cart. Another time, helping an elderly lady to the pharmacy, my keys were locked in the car. “No problem,” they said, “we’ll sort
it out for you.” Unfailing helpfulness and smiles of welcome made shopping there a pleasure. It is really hard to say goodbye to the whole crew. I felt they had become my friends. God bless you all and good luck go with you. Olga Fothergill

The recent find of a large bone on the Chum Creek Diversion on the road between Squilax and Turtle Valley has had an interesting climax. It will be remembered that while engaged in road work, George Chase, foreman of the gang unearthed a bone of considerable size at a depth of 18 feet. The bone, which broke while being dug out, was in three places which, when pieced together measured over three feet in length, and what appeared to be the knuckle head measured over 12 inches in diameter. It was in an excellent state of preservation and was thought to belong to some animal of the size of dinosaurs.

It was a surprise to everyone on Monday to learn the S.S. Whitesmith had run into difficulty and nearly gone down near Engineer’s Point off Canoe. The first reports indicated that the ship was a total loss, but that was not the case. Apparently the Whitesmith began taking on water rapidly and the boat was beached to prevent further damage. The stern end is under water but it is hoped to have repairs effected soon.

Sitting in the waiting room of a tattoo shop in 2006, Dion Kaszas picked up a booklet among the magazines that would set the course of his life. The booklet, by anthropologist James Teit who lived from 1864 to 1922, was Tattooing and Face and Body Painting of the Thompson Indians. Kaszas happens to belong to the Nlaka’pamux First Nation or, as Teit put it, the ‘Thompson Indians.’ “I didn’t know we had a tattooing tradition and when I saw that I thought, What? My head just about popped off.” The thought occurred to him that the tradition would be one he could do masters research on – “even though I didn’t have a BA yet,” he smiles. “I knew I was going to go there at some point. It planted that seed for what’s happening now.” That seed grew. In 2008 he enrolled in an indigenous studies degree at UBC Okanagan, and so his research began. In 2012, he did an undergraduate research award project, focusing on ancestral tattooing projects. He pored through online archives, as well as looking at the basketry designs and pictographs of his own people. In university, he says, anthropologists will often look just at basketry, or pictographs, or tattoos, “instead of putting them all together and looking at that common language.” Now working on his masters degree, he’s asking the question, how is a sleeping tattoo tradition revived? Kaszas has become a professional tattoo artist with Vertigo Tattoo using modern methods, but he has also learned the traditional art – the hand poke and skin stitch techniques. “It’s almost meditative,” he says, noting it’s done in si-

The welcome home of Percy Leonard from the Front on Thursday last was quite an occasion, and not as great and welcome a surprise to him as it was a pleasure to us. It seemed as if the whole town turned out on this occasion to pay homage to the first local warrior to return home from the trenches. The city band was at the station in full force and as the train steamed in, the band struck up. It surely must have been a source of infinite pleasure to Percy, as he walked along the platform with his mother on his arm, to see once again the familiar faces, the old familiar scenes, and the large number of people who had turned out to welcome him home. After the first excitement was over, the distinguished soldier was escorted to his home by the band and a large number of friends.

Reviving identity through ink

Traditional method: Indigenous tattoo artist Dion Kaszas works on a traditional skin-stitch tattoo for Jaime Grismer at Vertigo Tattoo. Behind him is one of the oil paintings he creates to honour those people who have inspired him on his journey. lence, without an electric tool. At the end of the research project, Kaszas decided he had a responsibility to help revive the tradition. He points out that in Canada, First Nations’ identity is legislated and always political. “When we stand up and make our identity on our skin, we’re still here and didn’t fully succumb to that colonizing process. To me, indigenous tattooing is a form of decolonization.” Kaszas has become wellknown for his studies and expertise. He is included in two large hardback books on tattooing throughout the world. Although he thought he would be using the original practices within his own First Nation, he has been asked to tattoo for some Secwepemc or Shuswap people, Syilx or Okanagan, Cree, Gitxsan and Mi’kmaq. Kaszas just returned from Ottawa where he was invited to open a show at Gallery 101. He is heading to New Zealand
to interview tattoo artists there who are involved in reviving their tattoo tradition. The ability to tattoo without electricity gave him and his brother a profound experience. They hiked 20 kilometres into the Stein Valley – part of his First Nation’s larger territory and considered one of its spiritual centres. “Our healers would go into the valley to get power.” Kaszas says it contains one of the largest collections of their pictographs and is very important as one of the largest unlogged watersheds in B.C. “After hiking in 20 kilometres, I hand-poked the pictograph on my brother at the site where the pictograph is.” They videoed the journey, and overtop of the visuals is a recording of his mom telling the story of the pictograph. “How the sky got its colours – it’s a teaching to remind us not to be selfish and to be kind to others. The reason my brother wanted that tattoo, is
he needed that reminder...” Kaszas is still moved by the experience. “It was amazing – it blows my mind that he was embodying something out on the land where it should be done. It gives him the opportunity to tell the story of why he needed it, but to also tell the story of the pictograph – one of our traditional creation stories.” The theme of respect and kindness is also evident on the walls of Vertigo Tattoo, where Kaszas’s talent is expressed in another form. In oil paint, he has created impressive portraits of those who have inspired him along his journey. He expects to do about 20 more. And he’s grateful for the seed planted by the booklet on tattooing tradition. “I love it, I wouldn’t want to be doing anything else. Any time anyone allows you to modify their body in a permanent way, it’s an honour – they’ve given you the trust and respect to do that.”

By Martha Wickett OBSERVER STAFF
Dan MacQuarrie was 16 when he vowed to dedicate his life to social justice. That goal continues to this day, with the promotion of a unique workshop upcoming in Salmon Arm. At age 16 MacQuarrie was living in Kaslo. He remembers vividly when, following the bombing of Pearl Harbour in 1941, the Canadian government decided all Canadians of Japanese heritage would be sent to internment camps. Eight hundred were to come to Kaslo. At the local legion, a letter from the Canadian government was read out, telling of the plan and stating that the incoming people were all Canadian residents who had done nothing wrong, so should be treated accordingly. MacQuarrie’s uncle, like a second father, was at that meeting. Some of the people present threatened to kill the newcomers, but he spoke out against them. In response, “they physically threw him out of the hall,” remembers MacQuarrie. His uncle was not deterred and continued to support the newcomers. “They made the town,” MacQuarrie recalls, adding that the town of 500 more than doubled overnight, resulting in more teachers and more opportunities for everyone. Although it was a harsh reality for those Canadians forcibly

Around that time, he remembers lawyer Don McTavish noticed police were jailing First Nations people for minor offences. McTavish formed a Mika-Nika club, the symbol being indigenous and non-indigenous people holding hands together. MacQuarrie and Edna joined. He remembers them meeting every week from September to spring and then, in spring, late elder Mary Thomas would take them on field trips. She would teach them about plants and their uses, as well as the stories and beliefs of her culture. Five years later, MacQuarrie moved to Vancouver with the ministry, but moved back
again in 1988. He quotes the reply of Harold Thomas, Mary’s son, when MacQuarrie asked him how he could be so kind to white people after all they had done to his people. He said, “I’m unable to love myself if I don’t love my enemies first.” MacQuarrie adds: “From my point of view, indigenous people have been practising Christianity while the rest of us have been just talking about it.” Last year, following Edna’s death in 2013, MacQuarrie formed the MacQuarrie Institute, an organization with the aim of ‘building Canada a second time.’ MacQuarrie says his goals are “to address the injustices done to indigenous and poor people all over the world, to tell the whole truth about everything and to do something about the environment and Mother Earth.” His idea for addressing the injustices done starts with “getting to know the indigenous
We don’t want to change the world... We just want to change your furnace people and finding out what they know.” The goal is to listen, he says. “I’m not telling anybody how to do anything.” In keeping with this philosopy, he was excited when he heard a workshop for social workers led by Kathi Camilleri, who has been facilitating healing workshops on Canada’s residential schools and policy of assimilation for years, was coming to Salmon Arm. He contacted her to see if she would lead one for others during her visit. She would, and is.

Man dies after Hotel room raided, two men face charges Stolen licence On the road truck hits tree RCMP plates
A Shuswap man died after he drove off the road and his truck struck a tree on Wednesday night. On Nov. 4, at approximately 6:40 p.m., Chase RCMP responded to a report of a single-vehicle collision on Notch Hill Road, near the intersection with McKenzie Road. When police arrived, it was determined that a pickup truck driven by a 60 year old man had left the roadway and collided with a tree. Andrej Schmiegel, who was the lone occupant of the vehicle, was pronounced dead at the scene. There is no word on what might have caused the man to drive off the road. Police were assisted at the scene by BC Ambulance, as well as Sorrento and Chase Fire Departments. The BC Coroners Service is continuing the investigation.
R E P O RT Two men are facing drug charges after police raided a hotel room on Nov. 5. The Salmon Arm RCMP located and arrested two men who were alleged to be dealing drugs in the area of Third Street and First Avenue in Salmon Arm. Both men were 22-year-old residents
of Salmon Arm and were believed to be working together. As a result of the arrests and seizure of drugs, a search warrant was obtained and later conducted at a hotel in Salmon Arm. A quantity of methamphetamine, cocaine, crack cocaine, LSD, and marijuana was seized by the RCMP. Both men are facing trafficking and possession for the purpose of trafficking charges as a result and will appear at a later date in court here in Salmon Arm.
Local RCMP officers removed two drivers from the road under the Provincial Motor Vehicle Act. Both of the drivers were stopped in separate traffic stops and were found to be driving while high on drugs. The drivers were issued 24-hour driving prohibitions and their vehicles were towed.
On Nov. 6 Salmon Arm RCMP received a complaint from a woman who’s licence plates had been stolen from her parked vehicle. The plates are British Columbia licence plate 176 XPH. If anyone sees these plates on a vehicle, call the local RCMP or CrimeStoppers. Do not attempt to recover the plates or apprehend the vehicle that they may be on.

Recycling: Curbside a success but food waste needed.
By Martha Wickett OBSERVER STAFF
Salmon Arm residents are thinking inside the blue box – or bag – when it comes to recycling. “In general, the curbside program has been very successful,” says Ben Van Nostrand with the Columbia Shuswap Regional District’s environmental health services. “I’m happy, too, the contamination level is very low, one of the lowest in the province, he says, explaining that other municipalities, particularly large ones, are struggling with people putting things that can’t be accepted curbside – such as glass, non-program plastics like plastic laundry baskets or mats, and hardcover books – by the curb. The next step, he told Salmon Arm council during a recent presentation, is to add food waste to the recycling program. He noted that, currently, 66 per cent of the province’s population lives in regional districts with an organics disposal ban in place. Those are mainly on Vancouver Island and in the Lower Mainland. If the rate of disposal to the landfill continues as is, it will be full and have to close in 2045. Currently, about 30 per cent of waste is diverted
EVAN BUHLER/OBSERVER
Out of the dump: People sort their recyclables at Bill’s Bottle Depot on Saturday, Nov. 7. to recycling, Van Nostrand estimates. If the amount diverted is increased to 60 per cent, the landfill could remain open to 2064. “It’s difficult for the public..., you don’t really see how fast it’s filling up,” he says. Diverting food waste would add another 24 per cent to what’s recycled, bringing it close to 60 per cent. “In the next five years, the feedback we collected through the review of the plan in 2014, we should be looking at getting organics out of the landfill... Developing a curbside collection program and a food waste ban on disposal.” Coun. Chad Eliason recounted how a recent visitor from Germany asked him what he does with organics. He told him he composts them. The visitor explained
that in Germany, they’re recycled. Eliason emphasized the need for Salmon Arm to proceed, noting the city doesn’t have to reinvent the wheel. “I think Salmon Arm as the biggest city in the regional district should be a leader in this.” Coun. Alan Harrison said he admires Eliason’s enthusiasm, and he is enthusiastic too, but he thinks education will be necessary first. Coun. Wallace-Richmond also pointed to education and the three Rs – recycling, reusing and reducing. Regarding a food waste ban, Van Ostrand said consultants have recommended starting with the commercial sector such as restaurant operators. “The initial feedback we got from the consultant was that a com-
mercial ban could start mid-next year and a pilot project in 2017.” Coun. Ken Jamieson asked about Bill’s Bottle Depot, noting “there are days when it’s filled to the gunnels.” Van Nostrand said it wasn’t known how the program would go when the switch to individual sorting bins and specific hours of operation was introduced on Jan. 1. “I think Bill’s has been a really good partner,” he said, noting how they’ve stepped up. “They found this summer they were overwhelmed; they had storage and staffing issues.” He said they will be meeting with Green By Nature next week, the contractor for MMBC (Multi-Material BC), to work out ways to make it easier to handle the volume.

Petition designed to help emergency workers Drive: Seeking better access to mental health services. OBSERVER STAFF
Working on the front lines of emergency service as a paramedic, firefighter, police officer, first responder or dispatcher, is inherently a stressful job. Don Devine, a retired paramedic who now lives in Scotch Creek, is part of an effort that wants to have this notion recognized in legislation, so that front-line emergency workers can have easier access to treatment and counselling to deal with the stresses from their work, be it paid or volunteer. The group is petitioning for a “presumptive clause” to be added to WorkSafe BC and other legislation. This means that it is automatically presumed that a person with this type of job is at risk for mental health problems like PostTraumatic Stress Disorder, and can access treatment immediately, rather than having to prove their claim is legitimate. “Even though things have improved, we want more protections for people who have a mental health injury. With jobs like these, it can be one traumatic
event that can trigger an issue or a lot of little things that can get you, but the results can be the same – depression, withdrawal, anger, exhaustion,” says Devine. “These are our first responders and they deserve immediate care and financial assistance, not going through a run-around of defining whether they have a legitimate claim.” As a first responder you learn to put away your emotions and keep them in a bucket inside you, but one day my bucket overflowed.
Don Devine RetiRed paRamedic
Devine worked for 32 years as a paramedic in both rural and urban areas of the province, and has his own experience with PTSD. He was routinely dealing with high stress and traumatic situations, including being one of the first responders to the scene where nine members of the Gakhal and Saran families were gunned
down by the husband of Rajwar Gakhal in Vernon on April 5, 1996. “People were hiding, no one knew where the shooter was, it was chaos... As a first responder you learn to put away your emotions and keep them in a bucket inside you, but one day my bucket overflowed,” said Devine. Devine and others involved in the cause have garnered significant support. On Sept.
24, the Union of BC Municipalities passed unanimously a resolution supporting a Presumptive Clause for First Responders in BC. Still in the organizational stages, Devine plans to visit malls and other public places in Chase, Sorrento, Salmon Arm and Vernon with copies of the petition. You can learn more about the petition at: www.youarenotaloneptsdbc.ca.

In the works: Gareth Jones hopes to open the city’s first distillery in the downtown.
Getting into the spirits By Tracy Hughes
OBSERVER STAFF
The Shuswap’s becoming well known for the quality of its wines, craft beer production is gaining prominence and soon spirits may be added to the list of unique beverages produced here. Gareth Jones, proprietor of Jones Distillery, is currently working towards his dream of producing unique, highquality gin, vodka and whiskey in the heart of Salmon Arm. An immigrant from the United Kingdom, Jones grew up with a father who tinkered with brewing, and the idea for running a distillery percolated through his mind, but “life got away from him.” After stints in the British army and in the food service industry, Jones moved to Canada with his wife and his two young children. It seemed like the perfect chance to turn his visions into reality. After taking a master distilling course in Kelowna, Jones has moved full steam ahead into the venture. He is envisioning producing the spirits at the distillery which is proposed for a section of the old Honda dealership building at 650 Trans-Canada Highway. Like a winery, this would include a tasting room, product sales and eventually a
bar with food service. (A re-zoning application to allow for the development of his facility took place Monday, Nov. 9 after the Observer’s press deadline for this week.) While these elements are all in the works, Jones is clear on his main focus. “It’s all about making the best bloody product out there,” he says. “And it’s been amazing the response from people when they hear about it. Everyone’s been very positive. It’s been fantastic, absolutely brilliant.” Jones is eager to make connections in the community, so much so that he decided to invite the community to name his products. After conducting an on-
line survey, his vodka is to be named Mr. Jones, while the whiskey is to be named Ida’s Keep, in reference to Salmon Arm’s iconic mountain backdrop. Patrons eager for this product will have to wait, however, as whiskey takes a minimum of three years to age in barrels. Vodka and gin are much faster to produce and can be distilled in roughly two weeks. Jones intends to use local products, to make it evocative of the area, sourcing his grain locally and hoping to eventually help his clients customize their products by adding local botanicals as flavour notes. “As with wines and beers, people are looking for something more than a cookie cutter
product. That’s where craft wineries and breweries have gained huge traction. I’m looking to spread that into the spirit market.” Jones plans to offer pre-sales on his products, which will also satisfy his desire to replicate a tradition in many British distilleries. This is where a relative or friend will purchase a barrel of whiskey to celebrate the birth of a baby and will let the spirit age in the barrel until the child is of legal age, at which point they will drink some on their birthday and on special occasions thereafter. “I plan to do a barrel for each of my children and hope to be sharing the drink with them when they turn 21,” he says.

Golds put up one last fight By Evan Buhler oBSERvER STAFF
Evan BuHlEr/oBSERvER
Hail Mary: Salmon Arm Chargers quarterback Chase Henning throws a long pass under heavy pressure, which was knocked down by a Kelowna Lions’ safety during a semifinal playoff game at SASCU Sports Field on Sunday.
Jr. Bantams ousted in thriller In heartbreaking fashion, the Salmon Arm Junior Bantam Chargers were eliminated from playoff contention Sunday at SASCU Sports Field. With less than 20 seconds remaining on the clock, the Kelowna Lions scored a 50-yard passing play to win the semi-final match up 14-9. The game was hotly contested from the kick off and was largely a defensive battle, much of the game being played between the 30-yard lines.
The Chargers’ lone offensive touchdown came in the third quarter on a run by the team’s leading scorer during the season, Dylan Eugster. The offensive player of the game award went to Chase Henning for his inspirational leadership on and off the field. The top lineman award went to Colby Heckrodt for his tireless fighting on both sides of the ball. Defensively, the Chargers played a very stout game, allowing only a handful of first

downs against a tough Lions’ offence. The Chargers only gave up two big plays in the game. Unfortunately, those plays would prove to be the deciding factor in the game. The defensive player of the game award went to Sam Hall for his outstanding play from the corner position. Hall racked up multiple tackles and one long interception return. See Bantam on page A16
Despite scoring twice on large yardage plays, the Salmon Arm Secondary Golds came up short against the Handsworth Royals last Friday. In their final game of the season, the Golds were led on defence by Logan Christian and Sage King who combined for 16 tackles. Handsworth opened up the scoring and jumped out to an early 14-point lead, thanks to a quick and efficient offence. The Golds found the score sheet when Mark Podschadly picked up a blocked field goal attempt and ran back 82 yards for a touchdown. After receiving a bone-crushing sack, quarterback Kevin Schmidt sat out a number of plays while Hayden Henning filled the void. Upon returning to the game, Schmidt spotted Norman Ambauen down field and connected on a 72-yard passing play for a touchdown, the Golds’ longest passing play of the year. “The boys fought to the bitter end and made some good plays on both sides of the ball,” said Golds head coach Brad Schmidt about the game. Despite not winning in the regular season, he remained upbeat. “I feel this season was a positive step forward for the program. It has been a while since this team has had an opportunity to play meaningful games and, in the end, you could tell it really meant something to the players,” he added.

Ice Breakers off to fast start By tracy hughes OBSERVER STAFF
The competition may be called the Classic Chill, but there was nothing cold about the performances of the Salmon Arm Ice Breakers speed skaters in Kamloops on Saturday. Ten of the club’s 11 youth skaters notched personal best times in some of their races, while the other racer, Corbin Coubrough, participated in his first races ever, setting his benchmark times and picking up a first, two second places, a third and a fourth in his races. Keegan Isaac, participating in the youngest age division, earned three personal bests in the 50-metre, 100-m and 200-m races.
Personal bests were also put up by Callie Belway, Jett Nash, Ila Isaac, Phoenix Nash, Devyn Hughes, Alia Norlin and Bradley Hlina, who is chasing a spot in the BC Winter Games. Jack Isaac also posted four personal bests and, despite a fall in the 800-m, he battled back to take second place in that race. Daniel Hlina, who is recovering from a broken ankle, still came within 0.5 seconds of his personal best times. For the adult skaters, Alex Seal was placed in a division with younger skaters and placed second in the 1,500-m, third in the 1,000-m and ranked third and fourth in the two 500-m races. Kevin Isaac, who made his return to racing after skating com-

’Backs complete successful road swing By Evan Buhler OBSERVER STAFF
The Silverbacks’ excellent form on the road continued as they took a possible four of six points over the weekend in the Lower Mainland. Josh Laframboise, Mitch Newsome and Ross Heidt each scored a goal as they downed the host Surrey Eagles 3-2 on Friday evening.
Newsome and Heidt scored just 19 seconds apart in the second frame before Ty Westgard scored his first of two on the night. Brandon Kegler made his fifth start of the season and earned his second win, making 23 saves in the process. The following night, Chase Zieky scored a natural hat trick, as his side downed the Lang-
ley Rivermen 3-2. Langley’s Torrin White tied the game briefly at two with Zieky’s game-winning goal coming 42 seconds later. On Sunday evening the ’Backs rounded out their road trip with a game in Chilliwack, falling 4-1 to the hosts. Colton Thibault knotted the game at one apiece midway through
the first period before the Chiefs’ Vimal Sukumaran scored three unanswered goals in the second and third. Last Thursday the Silverbacks traded defenceman Brett Stewart in exchange for the Surrey Eagles’ offensive defenceman Kodi Schwarz. The ’Backs will host division rivals Merritt and West Kelowna this
Friday and Saturday at the Shaw Centre. The Silverbacks will be sporting specialthemed Remembrance Day jerseys for both games this weekend to honour the fallen. The jerseys will be available to win through an online auction, with proceeds donated to the local Royal Canadian Legion Branch #62.

fence shut out their opponents. Once again the stingy defence was led by their middle linebacker, Jacob Zyri. Also helping on the defensive side of the ball was Gabe Wallace, Austin Crocker and Bladen Stephens, who made several timely
tackles. The Bantam Chargers finish their regular season with an away game next Sunday against the Richmond Raiders. The Chargers currently boast the league’s best offence and defence and sit atop the standings with an 8-1 record.

Selkirks start with a splash The Selkirks Swimming Club started the new 2015-16 season in record-breaking form. The team took a small team of 12 members down to compete in the Triple Pentathlon in Penticton two weeks ago. A pentathlon is not like a normal swimming event or meet, where swimmers are normally limited to only competing in five to six events of the competition. In the pentathlon, the swimmers have the choice to compete in some, or all, 15 events over the three day event. It’s a demanding challenge for those who choose to compete in all 15 events. “The results for the team were nothing short of amazing, having only started training the second week of September. The small group competed with
intensity each day and was well-rewarded for the hard work and skills,” said coach Barry Healey. During the three-day event, members of the team broke 45 club records, and 68 personal best times were set. Breaking club records were: Thomas Flahr, 17, Molly Fogarty, 13, Lauren Gridley-Haack, 12, Claire Hall, 15, Chantel Jeffrey, 14 and Ethan Skofteby, 12. Chantel Jeffery and Ethan Skofteby won 20 events between them and with a very impressive overall weekend of swimming, they both came away winning the high point trophies. To win the high point trophy a swimmer must compete in all 15 events. The whole team swam very well in this first and very highstandard meet, where
more than 250 swimmers from the region participated. Also producing very fast times and personal best swims were Ty Webster-Locke, 16, Torrey McKee, 16, Ethan Quilty, 16, Olin Mosher, 16 and Matthew Nesdoly, 16. These athletes contributed valuable points to the club in the team rankings. Recently, Selkirk team members also competed at the high school level, at a meet in Revelstoke. At the Regional Championships, Salmon Arm Secondary placed third overall and King’s Christian placed seventh out of 20 high schools taking part. Selkirk swimmers who qualified for provincials are WebsterLocke, McKee, Quilty, Mosher, Nesdoly, Jeffery, Fogarty, and Hall.
Healey, who filled the new coaching position in September, has been impressed with the swimmers, the club and the support for the program from the community. “It’s not often you come into a new club and are so warmly welcomed by a new community. It’s made the move to Salmon Arm much easier,” said Healey. “Every day, the swimmers have been great to coach. The entire team wants to improve, and the athletes work hard each day. I could not ask for any more. Their attitude and effort is super, they raced super well both in Penticton and Revelstoke and the team and the swimmers were very happy with the results.” The swimmers’ next meet is in Vernon where they will swim

some different events, encounter some other challenges and pursue different goals, said Healey. One of the main goals that Healey is working towards is to grow the membership in both the age-group program and the masters team.

Jewels swept up by Falcons Heading into the North Okanagan playoffs the Salmon Arm Secondary Grade 10 Jewels volleyball team was brimming with confidence last Thursday at the Jackson Campus gym. The Jewels faced off against cross town rivals King’s Christian in the first game, winning both sets, 25-20 and 25-18, led by Brenna Issac and Taylor Watts. In their next match
,the Jewels faced off against Revelstoke for the top spot in the division. Revelstoke took the first set 25-15. Redeeming themselves in the second set against Revelstoke, the Jewels defeated the visitors 25-18. In a winner-take-all third set, Revelstoke narrowly nabbed the victory 15-12. The Jewels would have to battle the AL
Fortune Falcons for second place in the division and for a spot in the zone championships. In the challenge round the Falcons could not handle the confident Jewels, who easily won the first set 25-12. In the second set the Jewels’ strongest asset, their serving, let them down as they only managed to hit 11 serves in bounds.
The Falcons took advantage of the Jewels’ serving errors, winning 25-20. For the second match in a row the Jewels would battle it out in a third set. The Jewels cracked under the pressure and were handed a second straight loss. Rounding up their season, the Jewels faced off against the senior Jewels in a friendly match over the weekend.

Modelling a design career By Barb Brouwer OBSERVER STAFF
Almost any adage about clouds with silver linings and new doors opening when others have closed can be applied to Calder Moore. Following a car accident, the 26-yearold graphic designer scored a new job and a prestigious win in a Royal Canadian National Mint contest to design several new collectors’ coins. The talented artist has been posting his portfolio online at Behance.net, a large artist community mostly geared to graphic designs and illustrators. “The mint came to me and wanted me to take part in a competition,” he says of the contest that took place last January and was judged by a panel. “I had to go up against two other artists and I had to create a polar bear coin.” Moore’s polar bear design won and with it came the expectation to create four more collector coins – a loon, caribou, beaver and a maple leaf, which will be released over the course of 2016. “Over the moon; it was pretty awesome,” he says of his winning design. “Only 7,500 each will be minted, they’re all part of the $20 silver collection.” Art has been Moore’s hobby and solace

I can get very lost in a painting. I might start after work and the next thing I know it’s three in the morning.”

Share festive spirit with others Christmas is not that far away but hunger is always present. To help make sure every Salmon Arm family has a Christmas of plenty, the annual Sleigh Of Hope for the Salvation Arm will kick off Friday, Nov. 13 with a two-day, non stop, admission free concert, held at the Mall at Piccadilly, with 36 different acts, changing every half hour. There have been a number of people at the helm over the 24 years the Christmas campaign has been in effect, initially as the Ship of Happiness. But while the name changed in 2005, diligent work by many volunteers has made sure the sleigh brings hope to many families. Entertainers, musicians and dancers from Salmon Arm, Sicamous,
Sorrento, Enderby, Armstrong, Chase, Vernon, Lumby – even some from as far away as Kamloops, Kelowna and Penticton – will perform throughout the day. The community is asked to give generously in the form of cash donations, nonperishable food items, gifts for single moms and unwrapped gifts for children 16 years and under. As always, people are encouraged to make cash donations to the Salvation Army kettles located in the mall and around town to help those who may be struggling at this time of year. “We have a lot of fun and hope to see everyone come to the mall this year and celebrate our 24th Annual Sleigh of Hope in support of
the Salvation Army,” says co-ordinator Lynn Sande.

YOUR Crossword
YOUR
Horoscope ARIES (March 21-April 19): Close relationships are highlighted, and you’ll find there’s much satisfaction to be gained from cosy conversations, joint ventures and shared interests. You’re always butting in with advice but don’t help others unless they ask you first. Your way is not necessarily the right way, and everyone has their unique approach to handing problems. TAURUS (April 20-May 20): The Sun and Mercury pair up in your partnership zone so it’s time to get talking with loved ones; reconcile differences; and nip problems in the bud before they get any bigger. The more energy you pour into close personal relationships, the more they will blossom. GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Home is where the heart is, as Tuesday and Wednesday are wonderful for talking about the numerous ideas that are buzzing around in your head. But avoid jumping to conclusions – communicate clearly and check the facts before you make firm commitments. Catching up with friends fires up your enthusiasm for future joint projects.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): There’s one way to describe this week - it’s complicated! Creative projects and friendships are highlighted, but do your best to steer clear of power plays and mind games. When it comes to a close relationship, subterranean frustrations could bubble to the surface on Friday or Saturday, when Venus squares Pluto. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): You love shining in the solo spotlight but the more you communicate and collaborate with family and friends, the better the week will be. It’s not all about you Leo! Take the time to tap into the exceptional creative talent that is around. But expect some intense interactions with others on Friday and Saturday, when Venus and Pluto trigger emotional outbursts and plenty of power games. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): If you can balance right brain creativity with left brain logic, then you’ll have a satisfying and productive week. You’re keen to communicate with a wide range of people, as your curiosity goes into overdrive. Others will sit up and take notice of your comments, so choose your conversation companions [and topics] wisely.
YOUR
Sudoku
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Your natural charm is boosted as Venus and Mars both visit your sign. So it’s the perfect week for some playful flirting, as you call in a few old favours. But – by the time Friday and Saturday come around – you may pay the price for procrastinating, and regret letting someone else make an important decision for you. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): The Sun/Mercury hook up is fabulous for study, research and self-reflection, as you get to know yourself even better. If you have a problem that’s bothering you, then tune into your inner wisdom for the answers you are looking for. Friday and Saturday’s stars increase your frustration levels though [and your controlfreak tendencies]. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Don’t blame others for your [perceived] shortcomings. Saturn [the Teacher] is moving slowly through your sign [until 2017] which can be challenging. The best way to use this transit/energy is to train yourself to be the person/persona you most want to be. There’s no denying it will take hard work, commitment and plenty of patience but it can be done! CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): It’s time to broaden your professional perspective; absorb important information from a colleague; or commit yourself to further study. There’s always more for a curious Capricorn to learn! But avoid aggravating workplace problems, and be careful that your business-like approach isn’t misinterpreted as cool indifference. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Prepare for a busy week, as the stars accelerate your ability to connect with others, especially professionally. The Sun/Mercury conjunction [on Tuesday and Wednesday] boosts your confidence, creativity and communication skills. Looking for employment? Now’s the time for Aquarians to act! PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): With Jupiter jumping through your relationship zone for the next 10 months, partnerships are favoured. But resist confusing others with long rambling Piscean explanations - strive to be more verbally precise! Partnerships and joint ventures are also highlighted, as you soak up the talent and enthusiasm around you.

JOSEPH VERDURMEN June 15, 1926 in Ossenisse, the Netherlands November 2, 2015 (1:35 pm) in Salmon Arm, BC Our family gathered today in room 34 of Hillside Village Care Facility to be with our: father, opa and husband as he took his last peaceful breaths. Our time together allowed us to reflect on the way he had lived and how he has given us all his unconditional love and support to carry on. Joseph Peter Verdurmen was born on June 15, 1926 just behind a dyke on the Scheldt Estuary between the North Sea and the Port of Antwerp. Joe’s father, Alphonse, was a farmer and draft horse breeder. Joe’s mother, Maria (nee Serrarens), gave birth to 2 more children namely, George and Marieke. She lovingly raised the 3 children on their traditional Flemish farm near the sea. Joe was a great storyteller and his hometown of Ossenisse and its characters provided most of his material. He described his upbringing as being in an almost medieval society which reluctantly and only very slowly accepted: automobiles, telephones and the modern world. Joe was barely in school when his mother died in childbirth and he was only 10 when his father died of Tuberculosis. Yet, it would be hard to call Joe an “orphan” as the 3 little children were warmly taken in by his Tante Tille and the Boonman family. She raised them like her very own while she, herself, had 9 more children. This then was Joe’s “Dutch” family and the source from which he draws his fondest memories of: skating on canals, playing soccer and the arrival of St. Nicholas on a Steamboat in the village of Rilland-Bath. The Netherlands were violently invaded and occupied by Nazi Germany in May, 1940. Joe was in high school and could have adapted to a risk free existence under the imposed regime but he chose to join the Dutch Resistance instead. The stories he told were unnerving. He described the retrieval of allied airmen and the couriering of stolen Luftwaffe documents. He told us how his heart stopped as his school bag was searched by Gestapo agents on the train. The heavy thumb of the agent went through the pages of the school atlas between which those secret documents were hidden. Joe dodged death early and often in his life. He did not believe he was lucky only that he had had a good guardian angel. When the Canadians liberated Holland and Joe met the soldiers from afar, he decided to immigrate as soon as possible. He booked his voyage aboard the Liberty Ship Franconia in 1952 and docked in Halifax, Nova Scotia. Joe travelled colonial class to Bird’s Hill in southern Manitoba where he worked for his farmer sponsor Jack Verbrugge. He experienced his first harsh winter without complaint all the while developing a deep love for his new country and its people. He worked at the slaughter house for Canada Packers and then spent 10 years in Lynn Lake, Manitoba in the gold and silver mines before going to receive his B.A. and Teaching Degree at the University of Manitoba. In 1961, Joe met his wife, Theresa (nee Van der Zweep) who had also immigrated to Canada with her large Dutch family. The couple was soon married and as Joe moved about Manitoba teaching high school, 3 of their 4 children were born: Marie (1962); Glenn (1964) and Ivan (1966). On a camping trip the natural beauty of BC beckoned the family west. Fully intending on teaching in Victoria, a casual stop at the school board office in Salmon Arm resulted in a position being offered and accepted. Unconventional by nature, the economy of using an old grain truck to move resulted in a catastrophic mechanical break of the railhead in Moosomin, Saskatchewan. The household boxes were loaded on the train and were offloaded in Salmon Arm - Joe had brought his family home! The last of Joe and Theresa’s children, Astrid, was born in 1969 and in 1970 the family purchased: bush, barn, house and cherry orchards at 6350 Lakeshore Road. Joe taught French, German and photography for many years at J.L. Jackson and then went on to be a substitute teacher. He made every personal sacrifice for the success of his family. He loved farming though his fences were poor and timing for haying was often wrong. He dabbled and experimented in many things and in many areas where he would have been well served to hire professionals. Joe loved people. He was warm to every person and student he met. He always had time to listen. As a photographer, he rarely photographed landscapes as he wanted people in his photos. He always claimed that the most interesting subject was the human face. Joe became a Canadian citizen quickly and loved his new country. He loved the freedoms we have and the opportunities of the “new land” yet he still had fond memories of Zeeland where he was born. He was very happy to visit his brother and sister, the Boonman family and the Neves. Joe was nostalgic by nature and enjoyed roaming the medieval walls of the city of Hulst where Marieke and George lived. He ate patates frites with mayonnaise and apple beignets whenever possible. The past meant a great deal to him. Joe had a generous and hospitable nature. He loved having guests from Holland and Canada. He brought out wheels of Gouda, shook the prune trees bare and emptied freezers to make sure everyone ate well for that was the Flemish way. He enjoyed all the visits from the Neves, Bookman’s and finally after 50 years the 2 visits by his brother and sister. Joe lived a quiet life on his farm where he read history books, raised a few beef cattle and waited for the blossoms on his next cherry crop. He loved his wife, Theresa, dearly and they had a good life together. He did not look for perfection and would seek beauty in the simplest of God’s creations. He never gardened in a square but planted daffodils here and there along his paths. As a father he was always there for us. No cause for his children was ever hopeless. He stood by us in our darkest and happiest hours. We all remember the Salmon Arm Greyhound bus station because no matter the time or weather of our departure or arrival, there always stood his solitary figure in his parka and hat. The last years have not been kind to Joe; the forgetting, the anxiety and the confusion. We were devastated as he lost most of the functions of his body and as well as his communication skills; yet people told us that this man had an unusual dignity and poise in spite of it all. Care Aids told us that they had not known Joe before but sense that he was a wise and kind soul. We realize that Joe could not stay longer for our needs and that the time has come to let him wander along his path towards the daffodils. We remain: His wife, Theresa; His daughter, Maria (Michael) and granddaughter Patricia; His son Glenn, grandson Jack and granddaughter Kate; His son Ivan (Martine), granddaughter Dominique and grandson Alexi; His daughter Astrid (Peter) and granddaughter Hanna; His brother George; and His sister Marieke. A Memorial Mass was held on Saturday November 7, 2015 at 10:30 am at St. Joseph’s Catholic Church (90- 1st Street SE, Salmon Arm) with Father George LaGrange officiating. A time of fellowship and refreshments followed. Online condolences may be sent through Joe’s obituary at www.bowersfuneralservice.com
