MLA ponders re-election bid

George Abbott is casting his eye on

fi shing and family fun this summer.

And, despite the rumours, includ-

ing those fuelled by

Vancouver radio com-

mentator Alex Tsa-

kumis, the minister of

education and Shuswap

MLA says he has not

yet made up his mind

about his future in poli-

tics.

“I have never spoken

to him, nor do I intend

to do that,” Abbott de-

clared last week. “I

am hoping to get vaca-

tion time to fi gure out

whether I wish to continue in the po-

litical world.”

Abbott’s political engagement

began in 1979 when he became a

trustee for the Sicamous Waterworks

District.

He joined the Columbia Shuswap

Regional District board in 1980 and

took on the role of Shuswap MLA in

1996, serving fi ve years in opposition

and 12 in government.

“I will be enjoying my 33rd anni-

versary of elected offi ce in Septem-

ber,” he said. “Even for

a youthful guy like me,

it’s getting to be a long

time.” Agreeing his par-

ty is facing tough issues,

Abbott says solutions

are always much more

obvious on the opposi-

tion side of the house.

Abbott, who served

three terms as minister

of health, says he enjoys

the Ministry of Educa-

tion, a portfolio he says

comes with many puz-

zles to be solved.

“I’ve enjoyed them, but they do

wear you,” he says, noting that, until

three weeks ago, he was so immersed

in negotiations with the province’s

Stomp returns to Silver Creek

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.

And so, apparently is the 23rd annual

Summer Stomp, which took place in

Silver Creek over the weekend.

Organizers have deemed the event

exceptional and incident-free.

While Friday was a bit of a wash-

out, thanks to heavy rains, about 1,500

people were onsite Saturday night.

“Not one complaint,” said Steve

Hammer, treasurer of the non-profi t

Salmon Arm Stomp, noting organiz-

ers would canvas the neighbourhood

to hear what nearby residents thought

of the event. “It was the fi rst year on

larger grounds and all in all was an ex-

cellent event.”

But police and CRSD offi cials

report some concerns, particularly

around noise and alcohol. The CSRD

had granted approval for the event on

the condition the music would be shut

off at midnight, but music reportedly

played until 3 a.m. Sunday.

Just as he had predicted prior to the

event, Electoral Area D director René

Talbot was annoyed the loud music

played three hours later than the mid-

night curfew.

CSRD development

services assistant Dan

Passmore and develop-

ment manager Gerald

Christie visited the

site Friday afternoon.

“At that time, we were

pleased the grounds

were laid out in accor-

dance with plans fi led

with the regional dis-

trict,” he said, noting a

call from Talbot Mon-

day morning shifted his

mood. “We entered into

an agreement to run it in

a certain way and evi-

dence points to the fact

they did not live up to

their part of the agree-

ment. I can’t tell if that

will impact any future

dealings, but obviously

there’s a great deal of

disappointment there.”

Cleaning up the site

Monday morning,

Hammer said details

will be made available

in a full report, probably

within a few days.

Hammer said orga-

nizers had received an

exemption from the BC

Forest Service, which

has issued a fi re ban on

all but campfi res that

measure no more than

a half-metre wide and

half-metre high.

Precautions were tak-

en and the fi re was built

in a protected fi re ring.

“It was a large fi re,

but not a huge fi re,”

said Hammer. “It keeps

everybody together –

it’s part of the ambiance

and a safety measure so

nobody else has fi res.”

In terms of profi t,

Hammer says they have

yet to reconcile bills.

“We do know we’re

in the black, he said.

“All of our bills will

be paid and we’ll have

some money for char-

ity.”

While he says he

knows some newcom-

ers were arriving as late

as 11:30 p.m. Saturday,

he is not aware if they

were arriving from

Sturgis North, which

was taking place at the

speedway near Vernon.

Unwilling to com-

ment on possible issues,

Hammer said he did not

want to “start any stone-

throwing.”

“Let them throw the

fi rst stone,” he contin-

ued. “We had no drunks,

no issues on site, that

I’ve heard of. It was 100

per cent golden.”

That’s not the way

RCMP and Columbia

Shuswap Regional Dis-

trict offi cials see it.

“Several complaints

did come out of that

event and we will be do-

ing a bit of follow up,”

said Gord Molendyk,

North Okanagan-Ver-

non RCMP spokesper-

son.

“They were sup-

posed to shut the music

down at a certain time

and they didn’t follow

through with that,” said

Molendyk. “They will

be dealing with the re-

gional district around

some of those issues

out there.”

Passmore says CSRD

staff will be crafting

temporary use permits

for board approval,

which could be in effect

by next year.

“Anyone looking to

do the Stomp or any-

thing else of a tempo-

rary nature outside of

what’s allowed in the

zoning bylaw would

need a permit.

While this year’s

Stomp was out of

Salmon Arm RCMP’s

jurisdiction, local police

conducted “enhanced

enforcement” and road

checks over the week-

end, including several

in Salmon Arm and Sil-

ver Creek, just north of

the Silver Creek store.

More than 500 ve-

hicles were checked,

resulting in several

24-hour driving prohi-

bitions and two vehicle

impounds.

“Violation tickets,

numerous warnings and

two small drug seizures

were also made during

the patrols,” says Sgt.

Carlos Tettolowski.

CSRD’s music curfew ignored

teachers he didn’t have

time to think about

broader issues, or the

wide criticism aimed at

his government.

“After such a long

time in politics, I have

scar tissue on scar tis-

sue in terms of thick

skin,” he says, noting he

does not believe chang-

ing the party’s name,

something that will be

debated at the party’s

October convention, is

a wise move.

“I think our problems

go way beyond a name

change,” he says. “I

think our challenges go

back to the extraordi-

narily awkward and un-

fortunate way we intro-

duced the HST. We’re

still living with that.”

Should he run in the

next election and should

his government win,

Abbott says Education

would be his ministry

of choice.

“The run for premier

was the offi ce I was

looking for,” he adds.

“That was unsuccess-

ful, so you move on.”

While he did love

teaching political sci-

ence at Okanagan Col-

lege prior to life in Vic-

toria, Abbott says he is

eyeballing involvement

in public policy devel-

opment in his future –

particularly in the fi elds

of health and educa-

tion.

“I do need to think

about whether I want

to devote another four

years to what is inevita-

bly a roller coaster ride

in politics,” he says.

“Politics has driven me

for a long time and I

have to decide if it will

drive me for another

four years.”

Offi cers think they got their bear

A bear matching the description of one that attacked three mountain bikers on the South Canoe Trails last week was shot by a conservation of-fi cer Thursday.

Conservation offi cer Brent Smith says his offi ce got a call from the Hadow Road area reporting that a bear was attacking a domestic goat.

Smith says the bear matched the descriptions provided by the moun-tain bikers – scruffy, shedding, with dark legs and cinnamon coloured sides.

And his paws were a close match with the track left by the bear some six kilometres away in the area of the Prudential Trail, where Roots and Blues Festival artistic director Hugo Rampen was chased by a bruin last Saturday morning.

Smith described the bear as being medium-sized, about 220 pounds with a very thin hide and poor hair quality.

“It points to the fact this is the likely candidate,” he says.

Smith spotted the bear who had been trying to sneak back into a goat pen and shot him because, unlike most black bears in the area who go the other way when they see hu-mans, this one was showing very ag-gressive traits.

“The goat is alive, but pretty beat up,” he said. “We’re gonna leave the trap for another 24 hours and pull it Friday if we don’t get anything.”

Smith says bears are attracted to valley bottoms as fruit and corn ripen.

He encourages visitors to wilder-ness areas to use caution and carry pepper spray.

Team rescues tourist

Breaking a leg may not seem very lucky.

But the outcome could have been much worse when a man from Alberta jumped into the water above Albas Falls.

Shuswap Volunteer Search and Rescue were called out to Celista Creek last Wednesday afternoon and arrived at the scene to discover the young man had man-aged to get out of the water.

“He had jumped into a pool and his leg got caught between two rocks and snapped his ankle,” said SAR search manager John Schut.

Along with nine SAR members, including a stretcher team, the Coast Guard Rescue Boat #1 out of Sicamous and an ambulance crew were also dispatched.

“We found him sit-ting on a craggy rock,” said Schut.

“We extricated him, splinted his leg and had just done splinting him when the ambulance crew came along and looked after his vitals.”

Schut says it was quite an effort to get the young man out of the area in the “boiling heat.”

“It was a bit of a hike to get him out; he was a big fellow, a well-built young man over six feet tall,” Schut said. “We

packed him up from just above the falls to a bridge and then across to a road.”

From there, the man was taken in a B.C. Parks truck to the lake and transferred to the rescue boat. From there he was transported by ambulance to Vernon for treatment.

Schut says the extri-cation took about 90 minutes and volunteers were out on the call for about four hours.

“He was a very good patient and it all worked out really well,” said Schut. “Between SAR, the ambulance, Parks and the boat people, there was really good team work. It all fell to-gether nicely.”

A Salmon Arm man was killed and another injured in a collision in Vernon’s Swan Lake area.

Damon Stephen Joe La Sota, of Salmon Arm, was killed in a two-vehicle accident on Highway 97 Satur-day shortly after 5 p.m.

La Sota was a pas-senger in a south-bound, older Buick se-

dan which was t-boned when it turned left off the busy highway onto Pleasant Valley Road. The Buick was broad-sided by a newer Nis-san sedan.

The three people in the Buick were all taken to Vernon Jubilee Hospital with various injuries.

CPR was performed on 24-year-old La Sota, recently of Clairmont, Alta., the entire trip to

the hospital, but he un-fortunately died.

“They performed CPR on him the whole way in and worked very hard to keep him,” said BX-Swan Lake fi re chief Bill Wacey of his department’s ef-forts. “It’s very unfor-tunate.”

The driver of the vehicle, a 25-year-old Vernon resident, re-mains in hospital in se-rious condition.

The other passenger, a 21-year-old Salmon Arm man, was treated and released.

The lone occupant of the Nissan, a 48-year-old Armstrong man, remains in hospital in stable condition.

“Traffi c had to be de-toured around the acci-dent as a result, and it disrupted a heavy vol-ume of traffi c happen-ing at that time,” said RCMP spokesperson

Gord Molendyk of the several hour delay.

“North Okanagan Traffi c Services as well as the coroners service would like anyone who may have seen this ac-cident to contact them at 250-545-7171.”

RCMP are also ask-ing motorists to slow down, be alert and drive safely as this is the third fatal accident in the North Okanagan in less than a week.

OPINION

SALMON ARM OBSERVER

Editorial

We have to applaud the latest move by the B.C. provincial government to start the process of free-ing up trade in wine between Canada’s provinces.

It was, perhaps, naive to have thought that once the federal government eliminated their 1928 pro-hibition on shipping wines between the provinces, consumers would be able to freely ship their favou-rite across provincial lines.

Instead, jealous of their prerogatives, many prov-inces responded to the eagerly awaited change, either with regulations nearly as restrictive as the now defunct prohibition-era law, or by setting up committees to study what they should do.

Even B.C., where both the ruling Liberal party and the opposition NDP had spoken out in favour of eliminating the federal prohibition, government responded to the news that parliament had passed Bill C-311 with regulations limiting the quantity of

wine a person could bring into the province, and outright forbidding Internet sales and shipping.

That changed when Rich Coleman, minister responsible for liquor, announced that B.C. was opening its borders to tariff-free direct shipping of wines for personal consumption, as long as they were grown and produced in the shipping prov-ince. The province can only regulate incoming shipments, so B.C. wineries are still unable to ship to other provinces; while it may have take a few weeks — really, moving very quickly for govern-ment — B.C. has boldly stepped away from the pack. We can only hope that B.C.’s leadership in this area will encourage other provinces to recog-nize the realities and opportunities of living in an wired world and begin to lower the barriers on their sides of the border.

B.C. pops the cork on wine rules

Weber offer beats the lottoThe Shuswap’s been a-buzz with the news that Nashville

Predators defenceman and Sicamous product Shea Weber signed

an offer sheet with the Philadelphia Flyers for a total contract

amount of $110 million.

Yup, $110 MILLION.

Mind you, that is for a 14-year deal, which includes $68 mil-

lion in bonus money in the fi rst six years.

In total, Weber will make $14 million in each of the fi rst four

years; $12 million in years fi ve and six; $6 million in each of the

next four seasons; $3 million in year 11; and $1 million in each of

the remaining years. Nashville has until 8:30 tonight – to match

the deal for the market’s marquee defenceman and restricted free

agent. Otherwise he’ll be donning a Flyers jersey.

Weber is a valuable commodity. He’s a two-time NHL fi rst

team All-Star. He has been a fi nalist for the Norris Trophy, for the

league’s best defenceman, multiple times. He is a physical pres-

ence who also contributed 43 points or more from the blue line

in each of the last four seasons. And who can forget his mind-

blowing slapshot in the 2010 Olympics that ripped right through

the goal net? Beyond that, he’s a darn nice guy off the ice.

I’ve had the pleasure of interviewing Weber earlier on in his

career and he never failed to be polite and without sign of the ar-

rogance or egotism that can so easily become part of your psyche

when you’ve got star talent. He always credited his family and

his local Shuswap hockey coaches for putting him on the road

to success. At a recent golf tournament that raised more than

$100,000 to go towards cancer research, and also made contribu-

tions to the fundraising for Sicamous fl ood victims, Weber com-

mitted $50,000 of his own cash to the cause. (We now certainly

know he’s good for it)

I don’t begrudge Weber his success. He has worked hard to

get where he is and who among us wouldn’t want to reap the

fruit of their labours? But for most of us Regular Joes, that kind

of coin is almost unfathomable. It also makes me wonder about

our society and where we place our worth. According to my cal-

culations, if Weber worked a 40-hour week for the next 14 years,

he’d be making $3,777 an hour. A so-called living wage in B.C.

is pegged at about $17.50 an hour. Minimum wage is $10.25 an

hour.

One of the best things I read about the deal came from the

Vancouver Sun’s Brad Ziemer, who wondered if Weber could

actually buy his hometown for that kind of money.

Turns out no.

I got quite a chuckle to read how the reporter had contacted

Ruth Walper, the director of fi nancial services, to fi nd out that

Sicamous’ net worth was pegged at $789 million.

But a business baron he could be, as the community’s business

sector is worth an estimated $55 million.

“And he could defi nitely get a very nice waterfront condo,”

Walper said with a laugh.

Sure could.

Caution needed when we trade freedoms

Art gallery exhibit too good to be missed

It appears there will be many local parents with school age children facing a ‘back to school’ clothing problem.

Is there a store selling children’s clothing in Salmon Arm, now that Zellers and Fields will have left? I’ve been told “No.”

Also, I have been told there won’t be certain pieces of adult cloth-ing available here.

The start of con-struction on Smart- Centres has been put on hold for one reason or another a number of times. The June rains did not fl ood the pro-posed land. This should be proof enough this land is suitable. There was a butcher store lo-cated on this same land for many years. Also, an automobile wrecking business was on this land that re-located, I understand, for a larger space. There were at least two homes on this land. Is the existing RV business on the same land?

There are many disgruntled local people be-cause of these delays. More than once I have heard the suggestion that a weekly bus service be started to operate between here and Vernon. One possibility is the bus would park at Wal-mart, say, for two hours and then go to a nearby mall for another two hours before returning to Salmon Arm.

I was told that Revelstoke already has such a service, although I can’t say this is correct for sure.

We have persons in Salmon Arm capable of operating such a service, or is there such a ser-vice operating here now, and if so, I hope the service would be advertised.

Fred Wood

It’s easy to be an environmentalist if your day-to-day life already includes clean wa-ter, quality food, comfortable accommoda-tions, personal security, emotional support, income stability and manageable debt. If your life doesn’t, then environmental con-cerns are not likely on your radar. You’re probably more concerned about winning this week’s lottery.

Global warming is tomorrow’s problem

anyway. With seven billion people living on this planet, what difference can one environmentally active person make any-way? Beside that, the experts are arguing about how to interpret the latest scientifi c facts and fi gures, and furthermore, Harp-er’s government isn’t concerned about in-creasing Canada’s carbon emissions.

We should put our faith in Mr. Harper and forget about the environment. The fu-

ture will take care of itself. It always has.Let’s just bury our heads in those sands …that would be the tar sands … and try toestimate how much of that crude oil mon-ey will actually fi lter down to the averageCanadian like you and me. While you’reworking out that slippery answer, I’m offto the corner store to buy a Lotto ticket.

Lloyd Atkins

We all exchange a small amount of free-dom for the security of living within an or-ganized society.

Power is given to government for the sole purpose of restricting behavior that injures others against their will. This lim-ited government is the symbol of a free

society. Extending the powers of govern-ment beyond that, into matters of personal choice, crosses the line between freedom, and tyranny.

It is up to us, as voters, to decide how much government involvement we want in our lives, but when making this decision, it

is important to keep in mind that if you al-low yourself to impose your beliefs on oth-ers, through the use of government, you areopening the door for others to impose theirbeliefs on you.

Jacob Richards

We live in an “Age of Denial”.Sean B. Carroll, a molecular microbi-

ologist, lists six steps used in the Age of Denial:

• Doubt the science.• Question scientists’ motives and in-

terests.• Magnify legitimate, normal disagree-

ments among scientists and cite gadfl ies as authorities.

• Exaggerate the potential harm of be-lieving the science.

• Appeal to personal liberty and free-

dom.• Show that accepting the science

would represent a repudiation of a cher-ished common philosophy.

I do not believe Conservative Party pro-paganda. Conservative MPs make broad based statements and appear to have few knowledgeable supporters in the media.

Where are the journalists, researchers and scientists who support their state-ments?

I am concerned about the staff that have been laid off, the science projects

cancelled (Ella Lakes Area), and oil pipe-lines like the Northern Gateway Project.How will the assessments and sciencebe done? Who will do all of the enforce-ment?

I do not trust the Conservative Partyto do this work or make sound decisionsbased on science. I believe that the Con-servative Party are in a state of denial.

I do not agree with what they are doingto our country.

David Saunders

Conservatives neglecting science

I recently had the pleasure of viewing the exhibit of paintings at the SAGA Public Art Gallery entitled “Historiscapes.”

It’s a collection of images by three well-known Shuswap artists, Lisa Figueroa, Linda Franklin and Tracey Kutschker, ei-ther as individual painters or as part of a group the three are calling, Lazuline (the

name is explained at the exhibit).I found this wonderful exhibit a delight

to the eye. Each artist brings her own individual

sensibility, but all share a love of the natu-ral world, a celebration of the transcendent blue of lapis lazuli, and an exuberant ap-preciation of the world of colour and form,

especially as related to the structures andshapes, both man-made and natural, in andaround this town.

I don’t think anybody will be disappoint-ed who takes the time to drop over to thegallery and have a look around.

One possibility is the bus would park at

Arts centre seeks city funding

Salmon Arm coun-

cil will hold off until

budget time to decide

if city residents will

become patrons of the

arts through taxation.

As representatives

of the newly formed

Salmon Arm Arts Cen-

tre and the Shuswap

District Arts Coun-

cil, Tracey Kutschker,

director-curator, and

Louise Wallace-Rich-

mond, board director,

proposed a partnership

with the city with the

introduction of a fee-

for-service agreement

that would have the

city help fund endea-

vours at the centre to

the tune of $35,000 an-

nually (or $2 per resi-

dent) over the next fi ve

years.

This, Kutschker ex-

plained, would allow

the board to expand the

list of services and pro-

grams being offered at

the centre, as well as

employ people to help

offer those programs. A

portion would also be

allotted to the creation

of municipal public art

projects.

“We’re really ex-

cited about partnering

with the city on re-

ally beautiful things

that can happen in our

community that create

not only more gather-

ing places, but more

things to think about,”

Kutschker explained to

council at their Mon-

day meeting.

Kutschker and Wal-

lace-Richmond said

that other cities fund

their arts at an average

of $35 per resident, and

that for every dollar

spent, there’s a $1.31

economic return that

goes back to the city

in revenue. In creating

a partnership with the

city, there would be a

stable, reliable source

of funding available

that could be used as

leverage for additional

grant money.

Asked by Coun.

Alan Harrison how

$35,000 was arrived at,

Kutschker explained

that when funding

from the province, via

direct access grants,

was cut to the former

SAGA board and the

arts council, it repre-

sented a $31,000 loss.

“So we got the emer-

gency funding from the

city that year, and… we

realized this is really

how much it is to have

a sustainable budget, so

we asked for $31,000,

plus the $5,000 for

the 2012 celebrations,

celebrating 75 years,”

said Kutschker. “Well,

to be perfectly honest,

that created a balanced

budget for us…”

Kutschker said the

$35,000 is a small

boost from the $31,000.

It would give the group

a sustainable budget

to continue their work

and add a few extras

that have been on their

wish list for a few

years.

Council commended

Kutschker and Rich-

mond for their presen-

tation, and Harrison

said he was looking fa-

vourably at the request,

but he agreed with the

rest of council that a

fi nal decision be re-

served for council’s

2013 budget delibera-

tions later this year.

Wallace-Richmond

promised that if coun-

cil comes onboard with

the proposal, she and

Kutschker wouldn’t

come back to council

for another fi ve years.

Unusual adornmentLeif Carnegie, Caine McCabe and Colm Molder try to start a new craze by having seed pods attached to their noses as they horse around at the Salmon Arm Sockeyes swim meet.

Salmon Arm is cur-

rently ahead of the

game when it comes to

planning for cemeter-

ies, but the city is be-

ing advised to consider

adding a new cemetery

site.

When it comes to

existing cemeteries,

Salmon Arm is keep-

ing pace with demand.

But Erik Lees, one of

the members of Land-

scape Architects and

Planners, who helped

create the parks and

recreation master plan,

advises things could

change quite quickly.

“It is not an area you

want to fall behind in,”

says Lees.

He explains that

Salmon Arm has an

aging population and

while 75 per cent of

Salmon Arm residents

choose cremation over

burial, he warns that

you need to be careful.

“You need to be

prepared if this trend

changes,” says Lees.

British Columbia

currently has one of the

highest cremation rates

in North America, but

if something like fossil

fuel goes up in price,

this could change the

number of people who

choose this option.

A proposed new

cemetery will span

about 20 acres of land

and will be located on

20 Ave SE at 30 St.

SE.

Lees advised city

council that a fl exible

plan that can be phased

in over time should be

adopted.

The new cemetery

should last 80 years

and will support any

increase in burial pat-

terns.

Lees explained that

creating the cemetery

in phases will reduce

costs. If the city only

clears sections of the

land at a time, there

will be no added cost

of maintaining land

that will not be used for

years to come.

While Lees does not

believe the cemetery

will make the city

money, he also doesn’t

foresee it costing mon-

ey either if it is con-

structed over a period

of time.

The proposed land

does have existing, in-

formal, cross-country

skiing and snowshoe

trails. Lees says he

hopes these trails can

be incorporated into

the cemetery’s plan.

This will keep the

trails open to the pub-

lic and possibly create

a welcoming feature

for those who would

be looking into buying

plots.

Lees suggested the

cemetery not be mod-

eled after the ones in

places like Victoria or

Vancouver.

While they are beau-

tiful, he notes that

Salmon Arm has a

unique culture and his-

tory all it’s own.

Lees would like to

see these things incor-

porated into the overall

plan of the cemetery,

whether it is through

pillars, walkways, or

walls.

According to Lees,

there currently are no

residents living imme-

diately adjacent to the

property and an open-

house meeting has

been held to hear com-

munity concerns.

There will be a sec-

ond open house in the

fall, to give residents

a chance to voice their

concerns and ask any

questions they might

have.

There was no need to

vote.

No other names were

put forward so Dave

Raven took the chair

position by acclamation

at the Columbia Shus-

wap Regional District’s

July 19 board meeting

in Salmon Arm.

The mayor of Rev-

elstoke and representa-

tive for his community

on the CSRD board had

taken over as interim

chair when longtime

Electoral Area C South

Shuswap director Ted

Bacigalupo became se-

riously ill last winter.

Bacigalupo’s death

in June left not only an

empty chair but a va-

cancy at the head of the

table as well.

Longtime Electoral

Area E Rural Sicamous

director Rhona Martin

was elected vice-chair

on the fi rst ballot, and

said she considers the

position to be an hon-

our.

Following this ad-

ministrative task, Ra-

ven noted two letters

of condolence the re-

gional district received

following Bacigalupo’s

death.

“In my time in poli-

tics and through work-

ing with those serving

at the local government

level, I have experienced

fi rst-hand the many

British Columbians

who have selfl essly de-

voted their time, energy

and ideas to improving

their communities in

so many ways,” wrote

Ida Chong, Minister of

Community, Sport and

Cultural Development.

“I understand Ted was

enthusiastic and pas-

sionate about the issues

affecting the citizens…

His accomplishments

are a testament to his

commitment to the

needs of the elector-

ate.”

Heath Slee, president

of the Union of BC

Municipalities, noted

the depth of experience

Bacigalupo acquired

during his 13 years of

service will be missed

at the board table.

“The death of a col-

league is also unset-

tling for us all, and a re-

minder that beyond the

concerns and interests

of community service

there are forces of life

that unite each of us as

human beings,” wrote

Slee. “It is this shared

aspect of our lives, our

common humanity,

which makes commu-

nity service so impor-

tant.”

The matter of who

will replace longtime

Columbia Shuswap

Regional District di-

rector Ted Bacigalupo

will be resolved in a

September by-election.

General voting day

for the Electoral Area

C South Shuswap by-

election is slated for

Saturday, Sept. 29

Nomination papers

will be available when

the notice of nomina-

tion period begins Fri-

day, July 27.

The actual nomi-

nation period begins

Tuesday, Aug. 14 and

ends Friday, Aug. 24.

Advance voting days

take place Wednesday,

Sept. 19 and Tuesday,

Sept. 25.

Columbia Shuswap Regional District direc-tors got a chance to air their beefs about rural policing at last Thurs-day’s board meeting.

Mike Sekela, chief superintendent of the RCMP’s Southeast Dis-trict, attended the meet-ing to listen to gripes and answer questions.

In charge of commu-nications and policing in rural areas, Sekela over-sees 45 detachments.

First up was Area D director René Talbot, who represents constit-uents in Falkland, Silver Creek, Deep Creek and Ranchero.

“You might as well close the offi ce down,” he said of Falkland, not-ing there are supposed to be three offi cers as-signed to the detach-ment. “Nobody is ever there.”

Long frustrated by a change in police cover-age to the area, Talbot complained that it took police 45 minutes to re-spond to a recent fatal motorcycle accident.

Talbot also expressed concerns about the ef-fect of the Stomp in Sil-ver Creek and Sturgis North on Falkland.

“Last year, we had St-urgis North, with events in Kelowna, Vernon and Salmon Arm, but they used Falkland as a

meeting place,” he said. “There were hundreds of motorcycles and no police in sight.”

While Salmon Arm Mayor Nancy Cooper applauded police pres-ence at local events, Area E Rural Sicamous director Rhona Martin said she would like to a bigger presence in rural areas.

“For many years we’ve been asking for an increased number of cops,” she said, point-ing out she would like RCMP offi cers to so-cialize and mingle, and get to know residents – particularly children.

Talbot, a Falkland resident, agreed, point-ing out that RCMP members used to go into schools and take their coffee breaks in town, where they inter-acted with residents.

“Now they come in, they do what they need to do and they’re gone again,” he said. “When people don’t know cops, information does not fl ow. People miss not seeing and not knowing the cops in our area.”

In responses, Sekela said numbers are based on geography of an area, size, on-call hours and calls for service.

He promised to share the results of a rural po-licing study currently underway.

“There are ways to

increase resources and I am looking at that in terms of regional dis-tricts,” he said. “Some are looking at a bylaw to “buy” policemen… I will get details, and can explore those options.”

Martin told him she is familiar with the Chris-tina Lake program, which involves using grant-in-aid funds.

“We have high assess-ments and they’re pay-ing considerably more for policing in (electoral areas) F and E, but the detachment has not grown since when?” she asked, taking issue with using the number of call-outs to an area as a basis for providing police service. “Calls is a fl awed way to do it,” she said. “I recall (Area C) Ted Bacigalupo say-ing years ago that no-

body calls the police anymore because they don’t come, so what’s the use?’”

On a more congratu-latory note, Sicamous Mayor Darrel Trouton, expressed his apprecia-tion for members of his detachment for going “above and beyond,” in their response to recent fl ooding.

Also expressing thanks was Area F North Shuswap director Larry Morgan.

“I think policing pres-ence in our area is much improved,” he said. “We have a good relationship with the detachment and we are pleased with (Chase Sgt.) Gary Heebner’s aggressive attitude in dealing with issues.”

Wrapping up, Sekela told directors he noted

directors’ concerns, which are common to other areas as well.

But he advised the RCMP has to make the best uses of available re-sources.

“Some things do suf-fer, but others are en-hanced and maybe that’s response time,” he said. “It’s economically not feasible to have cops in every community, but I will make sure it will be the best service with the resources we have.”

Directors make pitch for more cops

Listening ears: Mike Sekela, RCMP chief superintendent South-east division, listened to CSRD directors’ pleas and said he would do the best he could with available resources.

Wine lovers and mak-ers rejoice.

Imagine, you travel from Alberta to have a nice summer holiday in Salmon Arm. You decide to pick up a few bottles of wine to enjoy on your trip. When it is time to return home, you realize you still have a couple of bottles left, so you throw them in the back of your car and return to your Al-berta home.

Until July 12, this would have been ille-gal.

A number of months ago, wine-lovers and wine-makers got to-gether to make some noise about British Co-lumbia’s outdated wine laws.

Now, British Colum-bians can offi cially or-der their wine of choice from any recognized winery from any other province that produces 100 per cent Canadian wine.

Not only can they

bring some wine home after taking a wine tour fi rsthand, but they can order it online and have it shipped directly to their door.

“British Columbia is prepared to take the lead on opening up the Canadian marketplace for our world-renowned B.C. wineries,” said Rich Coleman, Minis-ter responsible for li-quor, in a press release July 12.

“Wine directly shipped from a winery in another Canadian jurisdiction to B.C. resi-dents will be exempt from provincial mark-ups,” stated a press re-lease from the Ministry of Energy and Mines’ Liquor Distribution Branch. “To be eligible for direct shipping, the wine ingredients must be 100 per cent grown and produced in the province it is be-ing shipped from, and the wine must be for personal consumption only.”

There is no limit on

how much wine can be shipped across provin-cial borders, as long as it is not used for profi t.

This is not the only ac-complishment achieved by wine activists.

On July 19, Coleman

announced that British Columbians can now bring their own bottle of wine into participating restaurants and enjoy it with their meals.

“We want to provide our restaurant industry with greater fl exibility in terms of the services

it can offer to its cus-tomers,” said Coleman. “Today’s change does just that – it allows customers to pair their favorite wine with their favorite restaurant.”

Not all restaurants will be adopting this op-tion, and those who do, reserve the right to limit the amount consumed, as well as charge a cork-age fee.

Ian Tostenson, presi-dent and CEO of the British Columbia Res-taurant and Food Ser-vice Association be-lieves this move may help restaurants from an economic perspective.

“More business will result in positive eco-nomic impacts such as increased employment and downstream ben-efi ts to suppliers of the industry. This is very innovative, fl exible and common-sense policy,” says Tostenson.

Mark con Schellwitz, vice president of West-ern Canada for the Ca-nadian Restaurant and Association, says “res-

taurateurs, especially those with limited wine inventories, welcome the option of allowing their guests to bring their own wine. This liquor policy change al-lows those restaurants’ guests who want to cel-ebrate a special event by bringing a vintage bottle of wine from their own cellar to their favorite restaurant to do so.”

New business: Registered acupuncturist Iuliu Faget inserts a needle at his newly opened Natural Balance Acupuncture Clinic.

A combination of

traditional and modern

techniques may bring a

better balance to Salm-

on Arm residents.

Natural Balance

Acupuncture Clinic has

opened its doors and is

now providing a wide

variety of acupuncture

services.

The clinic will offer

a variety of techniques,

including electroacu-

puncture, a form of

acupuncture in which

needles are attached

to a device that gener-

ates continuous electric

pulses; Tuina, a method

of stimulating the fl ow

of qi by various bare-

handed techniques that

do not involve needles;

and cupping therapy,

where a suction is cre-

ated on the skin to mo-

bilize blood fl ow in

order to promote heal-

ing.

Owner Iuliu Faget

says, acupuncture is

benefi cial to almost ev-

eryone and serves many

different purposes.

“It mostly gets the

body back into a natu-

ral balanced state, but it

also is a pain and stress

relief from various ill-

nesses,” he says. “It ul-

timately improves your

quality of life.”

The clinic is pair-

ing ancient techniques

with more modern op-

tions by bringing in a

acugraph.

The machine will

provide digital imagery

in the process of diag-

nosing patients.

Faget says the clinic

will combine this new

method with tradition-

al ways of diagnosing,

such as through pulse

beats and sight.

Faget, immigrated

to Canada in 1991 and

has since been an ac-

tive member of the

community.

He has always had a

passion for health and

fi tness, which has been

expressed through his

track-running career,

followed by his years

of coaching.

He has a degree in

fi tness and nutrition as

well as in acupuncture

therapy.

Natural Balance

Acupuncture Clinic is

also providing a mo-

bile service for those

who cannot make it to

the clinic.

The clinic is locat-

ed in the Maple Tree

Medical Clinic at 1181

1919 All 10 local students passed high school matriculation examinations and John C. Wilcox won a $100 Royal Institute Scholarship for the highest marks in the district.J. Belding, Sicamous, had to battle to save his house from being destroyed by a forest fi re.

1929 Major Metford reported to the chamber of commerce his committee was fi nding considerable support for a proposal to establish a municipal airport. The site under consideration was the land on the east side of the wharf.

1939 Joe Bodner was injured in an accident involving his cow. To prevent it straying from the pasture he tied a long rope between the cow and his wrist. Then, it be-ing a pleasant day, lay down for a short nap. All might have worked well had the cow not been stung by a hornet, and away she went, Joe on the other end of the rope. He suffered damages that transferred him to hospital for several days.”

1949 The CPR announced the sale of the famous old sternwheeler Sicamous to the city of Penticton for one dollar. The 200-foot-long, four-decked craft was to end her days as a museum.Manager P.E. Pike announced the local Farmer’s Exchange had already shipped 10,000 crates of strawberries and raspberries, nearly 800 boxes of early apples and were starting to move an estimated 7,000 20-pound lugs of cherries.

1959 Four young people caught out in the lake in a small boat when a storm arose, were rescued by Mrs. George Suckling, and Doug Potkins of New Westminster. The four saved from drowning were Jill Bowers, Adri Damgaard, Marion Reese of Salmon Arm and 11-year-old Randy Hume of Princ-eton.Donald Duggan, 16, of Salmon Arm, achieved the highest marks in the province in Grade 12 university entrance examinations. His average was 94.25.

Cholesterol — this topic tends to be a par-ty killer.

First of all, lowering your cholesterol gen-erally involves eating less of the foods you love (meat, butter, ice cream…). Secondly, cholesterol recommen-dations are surrounded by the most contro-versy. Fat is good! Fat is bad! Why can’t they make up their minds?

So what is choles-terol?

Cholesterol is a fat-like substance made in the body and found in foods of animal origin. That means meat, poul-try, seafood, cream, milk, cheese, butter and eggs all contain cho-lesterol; plant-based foods do not. Some cholesterol is needed to make healthy cells and hormones, but too much circulating in your blood increases your risk of heart at-tack and stroke.

How do I reduce my cholesterol?

The most impor-tant fats to reduce are trans and saturated fats. Trans fats are most commonly found in bakery items (us-ing shortening or hard margarines) and deep fried foods. Saturated fats are high in butter, cheese, meat, cream and chocolate. Other important strategies to lower cholesterol in-clude: increasing your fi bre intake, exercising regularly (raises good cholesterol), quitting smoking, and losing weight (No problem, right?).

What about eggs?The yolk of the egg

is very high in choles-terol and saturated fat; however, eggs are also a good source of pro-tein, vitamins and min-erals and can be part of a healthy diet. If you are trying to lower your cholesterol, it is gener-ally recommended to limit yourself to three egg yolks per week.

Spreadable fat: But-ter or margarine?

Hydrogenated fats, in some margarines

and shortening are the worst choice because

they contain trans fats. Butter is bad because it is very high in satu-rated fat (and makes things very tasty so you eat more).

Non-hydrogenated margarines are a better

choice, because they are mostly unsaturated vegetable oils, made solid by the addition of a little naturally-satu-rated palm or coconut oil.

Margarines with

added plant sterols and stanols are a new product on the mar-ket. These reduce cho-lesterol absorption in the gut and have been shown in research to help reduce blood cho-

lesterol. If you like the taste

of butter, or think mar-garines are “modifi ed plastic products,” you can also make your own spreadable fat by mixing a pound of but-

ter with a cup of veg-etable or olive oil.

SPORTSRunner sets the pace to victory

It was a golden weekend on the track for Salmon Arm’s Glynis Sim.

As part of the Thompson-Okanagan team, Sim raced through the fi nish of the 2000 metres in a time of 6:37.39, beating her own personal best of 6:42, which she hit the last time she ran the event. She also just edged her teammate Kendall Fitzgerald of Kamloops, as well, turning on one last powerful kick within the last 50m of the fi ve-lap race at Surrey’s Bear Creek Park.

“I didn’t want to start too fast, but I wanted to keep up the pace most of the race, and then speed up the last lap,” Sim said.

She ended up running her fi rst lap a little faster than she had planned, but the end result was still a gold-medal fi nish. The 14-year-old’s strategy to fi nish off the race fast also aided in beating another competitor who has often beat her before in the 2,000 m event.

Going into the girls 1,200 m race, a large number of girls, including Sim, had a shot at the gold medal. It was all up for grabs too, until a fi nal kick of speed from Burnaby’s Sophia Stevenson over the last 200 metres landed her top spot.

Sim kept the pressure on and hung in for the third-place fi nish.

In the pool, Logan Pilias placed sixth in the boys 50m freestyle with a time of 27.64. Thomas Flahr placed eighth in the boys 200m freestyle with a time of 2:13.34 and 13th in the 400m freestyle, notching a time of 4:51.96.

Skyla Eberle placed 28th in the girls 400m freestyle with a time of 5:16.07

In box lacrosse, which featured local

athletes Sean MacDonald, Adam New, Justin Backus and Paul Beevor-Potts, the team had a tough fi rst round loss, but came back against the Kootenays team by a score of 13-6. The squad faced Vancouver Island-Central Coast in an attempt to get into the gold-medal contest, but was thwarted by a hot goalie, and lost the contest 10-9.

The team went into the bronze-medal match against Fraser River Delta, which was a matchup of teams who missed playing for gold by one point each. In the end, it was the Fraser Valley team who took the victory with a 10-7 score.

In rowing, Salmon Arm’s An-Mei Andreassen and Maya Pereira took to the water numerous times, with their best fi nish being a fourth-place effort, with two other teammates in the girls quad skills event.

The pair also notched sixth place in the girls doubles skills event. They placed fi fth in the girls quads double elimination contest and 10th in the doubles elimination event.

In the time trials, the pair placed 10th and then joined two other teammates from Kelowna and Vernon to place fi fth in the quads time trial event.

In baseball action, which featured play from Salmon Arm’s Riley Jepson and Canoe’s Bradley Whitehead, fi nished fi fth overall.

The team started with a 7-3 loss to Fraser Valley, then tied Vancouver Island 4-4. They got a win against Victoria with a score of 7-4 and then ambushed Kootenay 11-1. Their round-robin performance was not good enough to get them into the fi nal medal games.

BC Summer Games: Glynis Sim races to gold and bronze medals in track events; Shuswap athletes post strong showings in various sports.

In the lead: Salmon Arm’s Glynis Sim pushed the pace for her competitors in the 2000m race, and her strategy worked winning her both a gold medal and a personal best time.

TED United still reignsIt was a battle for fi rst place between TED United and the Chick Kickers from Vernon as the Salmon Arm team only leads the standings by two points. But the teams ended up evenly matched in last week’s contest, where they played to a 3-3 draw. Both teams had multiple chances throughout the game and took turns being in control of the game.TED United opened the scoring with Emily Styles looping a shot over the goalie’s head. Chick Kickers scored the next two goals with TED replying on a Cathy Bartsch break-away shot. The score was tied 2-2 going into the second half. Bartsch scored again to give TED the lead, but the team was unable to hold it with Chick kickers scoring in the fi nal minutes of the game off of a corner kick. Kyla Sherman made two great saves on a penalty shot and was stellar in net. Ted United maintains their position on top of the league with the tie.

International hockey actionFrom July 27 to 29, Team BC will be taking on the Kazakhstan Women’s National Hockey Team at the Shaw Centre. Game times are Fri-day, July 27 from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m., Saturday, July 28 from 10 a.m. to noon and Sunday, July 29 from 10 a.m. to noon. Salmon Arm’s Alexa Ranahan will play defence for Team BC.

SilverBacks schedule set The Salmon Arm SilverBacks are busy on the trade front again, moving forward Stefan Nicholishen to the SJHL’s Nipawin Hawks in return for future considerations. Nicholishen, a 19 year old Penticton native who is a former member of both the Penticton Vees and West Kelowna Warriors, notched four goals and three assists over 46 games with the Silver-Backs in 2011-2012.

Sockeyes dominate at homeThe Salmon Arm Sockeyes had an

Hannah Bates swam her fi rst meet in this division and qualifi ed for a fi nal in the 100m backstroke.

With the hockey sea-son less than a couple of months away, Salmon Arm Minor Hockey has all the head coaches for the rep teams appoint-ed.

Recent newcomer Trevor Feist and local minor hockey prod-uct Gerry Rasmuson will oversee the Atom Development A and B teams respectively.

The A team will be playing in Koteles Con-ference (larger cities) while the B team will compete in the Michie Conference with the likes of Merritt, Chase, Summerland and other smaller centres.

In the Pee Wee Divi-sion, J.C. Archambault returns for his second year as head coach

of the Pee Wee tier 2 team. Last year, Ar-chambault guided the Pee Wee tier 3 team.

Troy Haskell will be at the helm of the Pee Wee tier 3 team. Haskell had a solid year with the Atom Development team and capably assist-ed the Midget Female team as well.

In Bantam rep, Tony Guerra returns as head coach of the Bantam tier 2 squad. Last year, he served as manager and assistant coach of the Bantam tier 2 team. He will re-unite with a number of players, who played under him two years ago with the Pee Wee team, and went on to the provincials in Al-dergrove. Darby Boyd takes over the Bantam

tier 3 team following a year of being an assis-tant with the Pee Wee tier 2 squad.

In the midget divi-sion, former junior hockey coach Rob Fitz-patrick returns as bench boss for the Midget tier 2 team. Fitzpatrick had a successful regular season with the Midget Silvertips before bow-ing out to Vernon in the fi rst round. Fitzpatrick has had junior coaching stints with Grand Forks, Brooks and Prince George.

Shawn Lund is ex-pecting most of the midget females from his provincial team of last year to return. Vet-eran goaltender Jasmine El Gazzar is off to col-lege this fall and the

netminding duties are expected to be in the hands of returnee Kylie Assi and newcomer Ja-mie Sedore. Lisa Cam-peau and Sarah Bot-ter will be counted on heavily to provide the offensive punch.

Tryouts for all rep teams will begin during the fi rst week of school. All rep teams will be sporting new jerseys this year. Fans will no-tice the big change in uniforms in the Atom Development teams as they will be sport-ing identical home and away jerseys of the Salmon Arm Silver-Backs.

Coaches for the recre-ation teams will be an-nounced in September.

Finally SAMHA

encourages all players who have not signed up to register as soon as possible.

Players may be put on a waiting list de-pending on the number of registrations in each division.

Boxer out to defend world titleHe is fi ghting his way

to the top, literally.Salmon Arm resident

Mickey Sims will be heading to Kansas City to defend his title in the world masters box-ing championships on Aug. 2.

This will be the sec-ond time he has fought in the competition, having taken home fi rst place in last year’s event.

Sims anticipates to be competing in events from Aug. 2 straight through until Aug. 4, when the fi nals will be held, provided he con-tinues to advance.

Sims has been com-peting since he was about fi ve years old. He got into the sport when his father, who was also a boxer, was beginning to train his older brother. Sims became his broth-er’s sparring partner and they would often train together.

“There is nothing like fi ghting your brother,”

jokes Sims, who spent a large part of his box-ing career coaching oth-ers, before beginning to compete on his own in major events.

He describes taking his team to the Canada Games in Prince Ed-ward Island in 1991 as one of his fondest memories, including the pride he felt for his players.

Sims spent most of his life in Salmon Arm and was a sheriff for years before he retired.

It was after he retired that he began competing himself. While he now attends many events as a fi ghter, he is still an active coach.

Sims says that his love for the sport is de-rived from the discipline and training required in order to do well, and the camaraderie among friends.

“You get in the ring and try to knock each other out, but you are friends before the fi ght and will still be after,” he says.

He is nervous about

competing in the world championships and a little apprehensive.

“Last year I went in knowing it was go-ing to be really tough, but I never thought I would get far. When they raised my hand in the fi nal fi ght I was in shock, and that last fi ght was easy.”

Sims says he spent pretty much a whole year training for the boxing championship last year. Now, after having one year of the world championships under his belt, he has learned from his experi-ence and has altered his practice routing to best suit what he felt he was lacking last year.

“I feel stronger this year than I did last year,” he says. “I hope that’s a sign.”

Sims practises for hours each day, varying between weight loss, cardio, and competitive training among other styles. He practises hard, but keeps his weekends as a time to relax.

When he returns,

whether he wins or loses, Sims says he will ease up on his tight train-ing regimen for a bit. He will continue to keep in shape, but would like to relax for a little while, do some boating and waterskiing, eat a steak and maybe even a piece of cheesecake.

ARTS & EVENTS

Like a patchwork quilt, Roots and Blues Festival artistic director Hugo Rampen pieces together workshops – often with magical results.

“When I start to create the workshops, I look for similari-ties, or complimentary styles, or the potential of creating new styles,” he says, noting that Urban Trad, which runs at 12:05 p.m. Sunday, Aug. 19 combines Cape Breton’s the Beatons, Ethiopia’s the Krar Collective and Canada’s “grandaddy of urban fusion,” Adham Shaik.

“Traditional music, like the Celtic of Cape Breton is highly guarded and Indian ragas have strict structures,” says Rampen. “Let’s throw that all out the window and let them create music that has traditional roots but is allowed to fuse and mix into a multi-cultural cocktail with an urban feel.”

Other workshops are likely to provide equally amazing experiences.

On the Barn StageSaturday

Watch Us Watch You runs 10:30 a.m. From Woodie Guthrie to Bob Marley, and long before social media, the songwriter has provided the medium to inform the global community about issues of importance. This is a workshop about writing music that makes a difference and includes Taj Weekes, Alex Cuba, The Boom Booms and Shred Kelly.

Scratch This at12:55 p.m. looks at the world of the the scratch DJ, who can infi ltrate musical genres like no other-contemporary musician. Whether it’s a playful sonic embel-lishment, or a driving bass line, DJ’s like Kid Koala handle vinyl with amazing virtuosity. Add renowned banjo artist Jayme Stone and Ethiopia’s Krar Collective to the mix, and you get a multi-cultural mashup that will take audiences on an incredible trek from Appalachia to the deserts of Eretria to downtown Montreal.

SundaySummer Harvest Jams and Preserves runs at 10:30 a.m.

and is a workshop with a full bodied fl avour. Harvesting sum-mer musical delights, this menu item is made of powerful horns, urban pop, with a hint of world fusions. Spice it up even further and throw a large dollop of DJ zest and have an incredible summer jam with Adham Shaikh (didgeridoo, and percussion), Hollerado (rhythm section), and the amazing horns of Five Alarm Funk.

Songwriters Workshop at 12:55 p.m. will examine the dif-ferent approaches to their songwriting. The objectives may be different and the process is unique to the person as will be highlighted by four incredible and unique songwriters – Buckman Coe, Taj Weekes, Cuff The Duke and Demetra.

On the Shade StageSaturday

Johnny Cash may be the granddaddy of songs of Hurt & Sorrow, which runs at 12:05 p.m., but Cold Specks travels a similar road with her ‘doom soul.’ Fellow performers Ra-leigh explore the darker side with cello and harmonies, and Declan O’Donovan can serve a strong drink of reality with his whisky voice and smoky bar piano.

Musical Environmental, which rolls out at 4:05 p.m. exam-ines how musicians are inspired by their environment. Hilary Grist’s Tall Buildings brilliantly conveys her urban experience while Cold Specks explores the connection between foreign environments and spirituality. Raleigh’s songs express deep emotional landscapes while Buckman Coe’s music speaks of his experiences studying the eco-psychological effects of globalization. What happens when these voices unite?

SundayLive life large with incredible Latin grooves and sax-driven

jazz in the Latin Jazz workshop that plays out at 4:05 p.m. It’s sexy, passionate, sweaty, and puts a smile on your face

and a spring in your step. Turn your brain off and let your body “do its thang,” to the music of Alex Cuba, Septeto San-tiaguero and the Shuffl e Demons.

On the Blues StageSaturday

Playing out at 11:50 a.m. Take Me Home to the Place I no Longer Know looks at how the blues are about sadness, storytelling, and catharsis. This workshop is inspired by the story of blues maestro Floyd Lee and his journey back to his long lost boyhood home. Sit a while and rediscover what ‘home’ means, with Lee, Blackie & the Rodeo Kings, Super Chikan and Kelly Joe Phelps.

The Blues Family Tree at 2:30 p.m. explores the origin of the blues in Africa, its evolution via slave culture, and the in-fl uence of jazz and big band. This is a no-holds-barred blues journey with three of the most interesting contemporary world/blues fusion artists – Hazmat Modine, Markus James & the Wassonrai and Bombino.Sunday

I Did It My Way at 11:50 a.m. combines the unique, dif-ferent, unconventional, the extraordinary talents of the Floyd Lee Band, Super Chikan and Hazmat Modine.

Continuing with the third edition of this workshop, which brings Canadian musicians together for a Blues session ex-traordinaire, 12 Bars North of the 49th - Part 3 plays at 2:30 p.m. Hear the incomparable Serena Ryder alongside two fabulous new bands from the West. No Sinner is mindblow-ing with their saucy, slide-driven delivery and Boogie Patrol is a fun lovin’ funk/soul outfi t that will have everybody up on the dance fl oor.

Get your tickets for the 20th annual Roots and Blues Festi-val online at www.rootsandblues.ca, or call 250-833-4096.

OTHER EVENTS:

Squeezing out a winClara Anderson was

at the top of her game at the 39th annual Kimberley Internation-al Old Time Accordion Championships, win-ning fi rst place in the age 61 to 65 category for Old Time Music.

There are many cat-egories of music in the festival, including jazz, classical and popular music, says Anderson. But old-time music is what she knows best and has played all of her life.

“This year’s win was particularly sweet be-cause for the past two years I has just missed out on fi rst place by a fraction of a point,” she says. “And this year, I scored my highest av-erage ever of 92.7 per cent.”

Competitors in the Old Time category must play an old-time waltz, a polka, and a schottische. There are three world-class adju-dicators watching, lis-

tening and scoring. Thirty per cent of

the contestant’s mark comes from the tech-nical judge and 40 per cent is given by the judge who is looking at how well the contestant creates old-time phras-ing and feeling.

The fi nal 30 per cent is given by two dance judges who are dancing to the music off-stage

where the contestant cannot see them.

A fourth adjudica-tor is watching to see who will be awarded a trophy (one junior and one adult), for show-manship.

This was the fi fth year that Anderson has competed, and she has taken home one bronze, two silvers and her latest: one gold.

Anderson is a self -taught musician, ca-pable of reading music, but is mostly an audi-tory learner.

When she hears a song she likes, she makes her own ar-rangement and plays it in her own style.

If she has diffi culty fi nding songs she likes that are not over-used at competitions, she often composes her own.

Anderson says there are many amazing people, especially chil-dren, competing at this festival and there is a real resurgence of the accordion in the world.

”That is good news, as there are not many contestants in the 25 to 50 age range because in some of the past years it wasn’t considered ‘cool’ to learn how to play an accordion,” she says. “What with the new accordions that are being manufactured to-day, it is now a very versatile instrument.”

Winning ways: Accordionist Clara An-derson takes fi rst place in her division.

Salmon Arm’s Jaeden Izik-

Dzurko is a prime example of

how hard work, and a lot of prac-

tice, can pay off in a big way,

even at a young age.

At 13, he already has earned

multiple awards and frequently

plays complex compositions in

competitions across British Co-

lumbia.

Jaeden has been in four com-

petitions this year, and has just

returned home from the Perform-

ing Arts B.C. Provincial Festival

in Nanaimo with fi rst place in

the intermediate Canadian piano

competition and an honourable

mention in the junior piano com-

petition.

One of the winning pieces Jae-

den played was Canadian Rhap-sody No.1: The Laurentian’s by

Court Stone. The strong musical

composition depicts the seasons

surrounding the mountainous

range through complex strings of

melodies.

Jaeden sent a letter to Stone’s

niece to ask for permission to use

the music. Not only did she give

Jaeden permission, she sent to

him a copy of the music, along

with a letter thanking him for

taking an interest in her uncle’s

music.

Jaeden’s mother, Patricia, says

this is not the fi rst time he has re-

ceived such letters.

Jaeden often puts videos on

You Tube and composers them-

selves have sent letters compli-

menting him for his rendition of

their work.

Competitors have to earn a

berth in provincials by participat-

ing in other competitions.

The way competition is struc-

tured, every time someone wins

in a category, they must move up

a level the following year.

If Jaeden makes it into the

provincials next year he will be

entering in the senior level of the

Canadian Piano Competition.

This means that the 14-year-

old will be competing against 18-

to 25-years-olds.

This doesn’t worry Jaeden

however, who sees it as just one

more goal to push towards and

another great experience.

The young pianist, who also

excels in swimming, says he

loves learning to play the music.

“I like adding my own ideas

to those of the composers, adding

my own dynamic,” he says.

“The bigger the audience, the

happier he is,” laughs his mom,

Patricia.

Close to the competitions Jae-

den typically spends up to four

hours a day practicing.

What would make a 13-year-

old dedicate so much of his time

to something like this? His love

for the music.

“I really enjoy all the music I

play, but if I had to pick a certain

style it would be romantic, be-

cause there are so many different

kinds, like the waltz. I also really

like Jazz and the Canadian com-

positions because they are so dif-

ferent. I pretty much like all the

music I play.”

Powerhouse wins fi rstBy Cavelle LayesOBSERVER STAFF

Just rewards: Hard work has paid off for Jaeden Izik-Dzurko, who earned fi rst place in recent competition.

TIME OUTARIES (March 21 - April 19): A single entity is ulti-mately responsible for itself, but among all strands of life and species, a delicate interdependence is at play. A relationship that has been changeable now comes through for you in a big way, providing a conduit of blessings.TAURUS (April 20 - May 20): A gorgeous alignment in the sky speaks to the foundation of your finances and work. A move towards home-based businesses is likely now, and delights you. People from your past open up good karma to you. In some cases, the bless-ings arrive anonymously. GEMINI (May 21 - June 20): We’re getting a series of especially eventful days. Jupiter in your sign reaches out in a rare conversation with the planet of brilliance, Uranus. You’re meant to move towards your dreams through inspired and enthusiastic effort. CANCER (June 21 - July 22): The ancients stared at the stars and mapped their movements. Later, the telescope came about, providing the means for im-portant discoveries that built on the knowledge we al-ready had. You realize now you have what you need to make an inspired start. The tools will come. LEO (July 23 - August 22): Your sign is jumping this week. You’re at the hub of all the activity, if not initi-ating it yourself. It’s really driven by a desire for ex-periences that clarify your direction. Stay close to the heart, but try your best to keep interactions light. VIRGO (August 23 - September 22): Every emotion is a gift, and every frustration, a blessing. This is easy to understand in retrospect, but harder in the moment. Possibilities open if you use your desire for change wisely. Channel the tension towards action in the direction you’d like to go for real progress this week.

LIBRA (September 23 - October 22): Just when you thought you’d seen it all, love has a way of surprising and delighting you. A partner helps you move closer to a more ideal future, either with a tangible opportu-nity, or a great idea that could take your message to a broader stage. SCORPIO (October 23 - November 21): You’re busy with activity on your career goals. Yet, a part of you feels removed, striving to find an emotional con-nection to power players who could grant you fa-vours. You don’t have to try so hard. The right con-tact will feel so natural, it surprises you.SAGITTARIUS (November 22 - December 21): The Moon crosses over the North Node destiny point in your sign. Welcome one of the last moments of this special meeting. You’ll get one more next month, and thatís it for years to come. Take advantage by listen-ing to your life. Fate is kind to you now.CAPRICORN (December 22 - January 19): Big money talks are taking place this week, as you figure out how to secure investment towards a dream. Go big or go home is your motto. Reconnect with those who’ve shown support in the past.AQUARIUS (January 20 - February 18): Your ruling planet has been especially active this week, connect-ing first with planet of positive vibes Jupiter, then with retrograde Mercury. You’re working on a grand scheme that promises opportunity. Your enthusiasm attracts help from those higher on the ladder. PISCES (February 19 - March 20): Remember and rejoice. It’s good advice, and what you could use now. Your recollections of the past lead to a bold aim in the work space and brave personal changes. The past is the anchor that spurs you forward in this fun and prosperous week.

Isabella Lawson FooteIsabella Lawson Foote (nee Robertson) of Vernon, B.C. ‘graduated’ on July 9th, 2012 at the age of 98 years young leaving behind an amazing legacy of love and life! Born in Mara, B.C. on July 5th, 1914 to John and Margaret Robertson, Isabella was the youngest in the family of seven and although the youngest, came with the strongest zest for life. Isabella spent her growing up years on the farm on Riverside Road in Mara along with her sister, three

brothers and cousins. They worked hard but also ‘played hard’ – swimming in the river, playing badminton and going to dances were favorite activities. She was very proud to be a lifetime pioneer of this area. When she was about eighteen Isabella moved to Vernon and worked at St. Michael’s Girls School. Not long after she met Edward Henry Foote at a dance and they were married on June 18th, 1935 in the little church in Mara. They built their home in Vernon in 1936 and she resided in that home Ed built for her until February 1st of this year when she moved to Carrington Place. Isabella was a sports fan – especially tennis, hockey and curling and played badminton until she was 86 years old and every game she played, she played to win! She even won gold and silver in the Senior Games. In earlier years they played a lot of tennis on their tennis court across the street which was ooded in the winter for a skating rink. Isabella was always happy to see friends and relatives drop in and loved to get to know her neighbours. She also enjoyed the many evenings playing cards with their dear friends Dave and Alma Howrie. Isabella was an ‘at home’ mom but in her younger years she packed apples every fall for McDonald’s Packing House and was later employed by Eaton’s Store until she retired in the late 1970s. In the late 1960s Ed and Isabella built a cabin on Mara Lake at Swansea Point – a place they loved and where many happy times were spent with family and friends. She was blessed with the gift of hospitality and many bene ted from that special gift throughout her life.

Isabella is survived by her daughter Rita (Keith) Perry and three granddaughters, Heather (Anthony), Charisse (John) and Glynis (Christopher); and Michael and Sasha; twelve great-grandchildren; her sister, Margaret (Madge) and she was ‘Auntie Is’ or ‘Auntie Isa’ to several nieces and nephews whom she held close to her heart. She was predeceased by her husband Ed in 1986; her son Derek in 1978; and three brothers, Robert, Edward and John.

Our heartfelt gratitude to the Interior Health staff for their support, counsel, and care over the last four years – their service allowed our Mom and Grandmother to stay in her home to just about the very end – her greatest desire. Additionally, we thank all who supported her during her nal adventure: Carrington Place, the nurses at Vernon Jubilee Hospital, Dr. Botha and especially the caring staff at Schaffer Residence at Oakside in Enderby – not only did they provide her with beautiful care but the support to Isabella’s family which will be cherished always. Finally, a ‘great big thank you’ to Isabella’s neighbours for always being there to help out in these latter years –you made a difference in her life!A Celebration Of Isabella’s Life will be held at Bethel Funeral Chapel on Saturday, July 28th, 2012 at 2:00 P.M. with a tea to follow. Her desire was to be cremated and buried with her husband and son. A private burial will take place at a later time. Should anyone so desire, a memorial donation may be made to the charity of your choice.

“Goodbye for now, ‘til we meet again.”

In Loving Memory ofWEED, CECIL LEROY

December 8, 1929 - July 16, 2012It is with heartfelt

sadness that we announce the passing of Cec Weed of Sorrento, B.C. Cec was born in Melford, Saskatchwan. At the age of 13, he travelled to BC to start building his dream. At age of 24, he married Doreen Thom in May 1954. They had a long and happy marriage. They were true soul mates. Cec spent most of his life in the trucking business. He partneredup with a long time friend and started a successfultrucking company in the lower mainland. Whenhe decided it was time to retire, his three sonstook over the business and have done him proud by making it very successful. Cec moved toSorrento in 1999, where he and Doreen enjoyedworking around the yard and enjoying each otherscompany. Many people knew him as the man wholoved to talk. He had many stories to share withthose who would listen. We all knew him as aloving caring man, who would give you the world if he could. He will be sadly missed by all that knewhim. Cec was predeceased by his mother, Estelle(Woolsey) & Clifford Weed. He leaves behindto mourn him; his loving wife Doreen, their fourchildren, Glenn (Sherri), Keith (Tracy), Vicki (Craig)and Darryl (Debbie), grandchildren Kim, Trevor (Melissa), Jessica, Kevin, Jamie, Ryan (Amber),Kyle (Lesley), Dale (Chantal), Tyler and Nikki(Jeff), great grandchildren, Kayla, Aaron, Hayden,Ethan, Jordan and Linden. The family would liketo give special thanks to the nurses and doctorsat Shuswap Lake General Hospital, who cared for him in his fi nal days as well as special thanks toDr. Patterson for helping us through the transition.In lieu of fl owers, donations can be made to theAlzheimer’s Society of BC. No service at therequest of Cec, but a celebration of life will takeplace at a later date with close family and friends.

STADNYK, WASYL ALFRED (Bill)Wasyl Alfred Stadnyk {Bill}

aged 79, passed away at his home in Cache Creek, BC on Sat., July 14, 2012. Bill was born at home near Canora, Sask. on Sept 21, 1932.

He was predeceased by his parents, Nickolas and Sandy and his wife, Martha. Bill leaves behind his sister, Jean Kissick of Edmonton, his Daughter, Dianne {Mike} Golinski of SalmonArm, BC, his granddaughters Marcia and Melissa{Karl}, many nieces and one nephew, as well ashis special friends Joan and Angela and so manyother very good friends.

Bill was passionate about his accordions andat the time of his passing owned more than 135.He played them, repaired them, collected them,displayed them and just would talk to anyoneabout them. He knew the story and worth of each one. Of course to keep up with this hobbyhe did have to go to the casino in Kamloops onSaturdays.

He was a good person who hated confl ictand would just walk away. He spoke with hissister every morning at 6:30 am and often in theafternoon. The discussions were many and varied.Bill was capable of repairing nearly anything thatwas broken and was always helping people out.

The memorial service was held for Bill at Chum’sin Cache Creek on Sat, July 21, 2012, 3:00 p.m.where he spent so much time visiting, drinkingcoffee, fi xing stuff and just being Bill to everyone.

Fischer’s Funeral Services of Salmon Arm andThompson Valley funeral home of Ashcroft handledthe arrangements and cremation. Donations to theheart and stroke fund would be appreciated asboth Bill and Martha passed away from stroke or cardiac problems.

GARDENSGARDENSSA L M O N A R MSA L M O N A R M

A beautiful bouquet of colour!If you like roses, this is the garden for you,

This formal rose garden contains hundreds of roses. Hybrid tea, Floirbundas, Antique and Eng-lish roses make up the majority of the plantings, but not to be forgotten are the incredible beds that surround the home and make for so many oohs and awws.

The metal arbor is one of the many beds that draw you in.

Borders consist of boxwoods, with an astonishing amount of varied fl owering plants.

Hosta, various colours of Astilibe, petunias, be-gonias, fuschias, pansies, phlox, columbine, iris, bleeding hearts, bell fl owers, day lilies and the list goes on.

This large garden is a lot of work, but the reward of the heavenly scents must make it more than worthwhile. This is defi nitely a rose lover’s para-dise!

— By Sherry & Laura, Salmon Arm Observer

Do you know someone whose garden goes above and beyond? Do you think your garden is a cut above? Don’t be shy! Let us know the owner’s name, address and phone number!

The garden does not have to be huge or elaborate. It could be on a balcony or a front yard or whatever space you have, as long as it is unique.
