Kyllo dominates Shuswap vote B.C. Election: Liberals retain grip on the riding, Sicamous businessman heading to Victoria.

Just one word – “Wow!”That was Bc liberal Greg Kyllo’s reac-

tion to winning last night’s election with slightly more than 48 per cent of the vote.

In the unofficial count with 165 of 166 polls reporting, Kyllo got 11,342 votes, fol-lowed by ndP Steve Gunner with 6,972 votes, conservative Tom Birch with 3,045 Green candidate chris George had 2,186 and Johanna Zalcik of the Advocational Party took 62.

Both Kyllo and the liberal Party defied pre-election polls that had the ndP forming the next government.

“I am looking forward to working in gov-ernment, not opposition,” he said after sev-eral congratulatory hugs from ecstatic sup-porters.

Kyllo’s campaign office was infused with a party atmosphere less than an hour after the polls closed, when the liberals were al-ready leading in 46 polls.

Supporters were gathered around a TV set, reacting to results with loud cheers and laughter.

In a quieter corner, Kyllo described him-self as being cautiously optimistic. He cred-ited his campaign team for the win, saying no one person could have done it alone.

“I am absolutely humbled by the number of volunteers who have come forward,” he said, noting his first move as MlA will be to reacquaint himself with his wife and four daughters. “This has been all-consuming, 24-7.”

Beyond the short break, Kyllo says learn-ing the ropes and creating jobs will be pri-orities.

“Only with a strong economy can you have the dollars to adequately fund needed social programs,” he said.

With the youngest of four daughters now 18 and his Sicamous businesses in good hands, Kyllo said the time is right for mov-ing into the new challenges a political career will offer.

“I have extremely big shoes to fill and lots to learn,” he said. “And I’m up for the chal-lenge.”

The big shoes belong to outgoing MlA George Abbott who held the post for 17 years and has provided the new MlA with

invaluable advice and support, Kyllo says.Also playing a supporting role, a delight-

ed fundraising manager Mel Arnold, said the liberal win will “keep B.c.’s economy moving forward.”

Kyllo will move into the political arena with strong family support as well.

“I am extremely proud of him, he worked hard and I am excited we can carry on this journey together,” said wife Georgina, who noted she had been nervous early in the day. “I would have been proud of him either way.”

Standing in the now-packed campaign of-fice, former Salmon Arm councillor Kevin Flynn gave the local liberal win a big thumbs up.

“I’m very happy. As a small businessper-son, I won’t have to sell up and move to Al-berta,” he said. “The results are somewhat shocking based on the polls.”

At ndP campaign headquarters, a sub-dued group of volunteers watched as the liberal lead in B.c. grew.

candidate Steve Gunner, not one to blurt out unreasoned answers during the cam-paign, held true to form on Tuesday night.

“I would hate to look at the big picture just yet. It would take more analysis than we can do at the moment,” he said, adding, “Obvi-ously this is a fairly surprising result for Brit-ish columbia, not what we would expect to

The BC Coroners Service has confirmed the identity of the two people who were found deceased in a residence in Anglemont on April 30.

Tracy Nichol, aged 45, and Christian Rob-ert Tallick, aged 15, both residing in Angle-mont were found dead in what police deter-mined to be a murder-suicide.

The cause of death

was not released by of-ficials. Police have also not indicated which person was determined to be the murder victim.

The BC Coroners Service and RCMP continue to investigate these deaths. Despite indicating the deaths of a 45-year-old woman and 15-year-old boy were initially being in-vestigated as murder, RCMP later confirmed the situation was a mur-der-suicide.

“RCMP have con-firmed that this tragic

event was a murder-sui-cide,” stated Cst. Lesley Smith, north district media relations officer. “The crime scene posed a number of challenges for members and after a lengthy investigation, with the assistance of the RCMP Forensic Identification Unit, po-lice were able to con-firm this unfortunate outcome.”

The residence where they were found is lo-cated on Greenwich Close Road in Angle-mont.

be getting. I think it’s going to make people a little more skepti-cal about polls. At the same time, it also says a lot about what can go on in a person’s mind between the time they make a decision and the time they sit in a polling station and have to put pen to paper.”

Gunner was highly complimentary of his team and the work they did for him.

“I did not think it would be possible to get so many people to work together for so long… It was abso-lutely humbling and in-spiring to see how hard people worked.”

Long-time NDP sup-porter, Victor Toy, ad-mitted to feeling sick-ened by the results.

“I’m shocked and dismayed that despite the NDP running a very positive campaign of hope, it was lost… It now makes me really question polls. Right down to the very last days the polls were re-flecting the exact oppo-site of what’s happen-ing…,” he said.

Toy isn’t sure why the results went the way they did.

“I guess the gen-eral public bought into Christy Clark’s mantra, even though what she was preaching can be disputed.”

He gave the example of Clark warning that if the NDP formed gov-ernment, young people would be forced to go to Alberta to work. That

is already happening, he noted.

“That’s just one thing she was saying that no-body questioned.”

Neither is Toy im-pressed by the Liberals’ campaign.

“What I find quite disturbing is the con-tinuing negative cam-paign we seem to be following in the Ameri-can wake.”

Despite the disap-pointing loss, Gunner, who operates an organ-ic turkey and chicken farm with his spouse Andrea, won’t be tak-ing time off to ponder his fate.

As she gave him a hug at the end of the evening, she reminded him that there were chickens to be looked after in the morning.

Conservative Party candidate Tom Birch wound up in third place. Birch was con-fident heading into the preliminary count and felt good about the campaign. Prior to the results, he said he thought it would be a close three-way race, saying that the high voter turn out and good advanced voting turn-out favoured the politi-cal right. As the votes came in, he was slightly surprised at the gap.

“Well, I’m obviously disappointed with the way it broke,” Birch said. “Greg Kyllo ran a good campaign. I’ve just called him and congratulated him and we’ll see what happens next time around.

“I still feel good. I learned a lot going

through the whole pro-cess. This is democra-cy, it’s more important than who wins.”

Birch hopes the win-ner takes seriously the fact they represent 100 per cent of the people.

“I’m sure I’ll be a little more down tomor-row but it’s all the way it has to be, people have spoken,” Birch said.

Green Party candi-date Chris George land-ed in fourth, saying the results were on track with his predictions.

“Pretty much what I was expecting,” he said. “We obviously don’t have the deep pockets of the other parties. We relied on town halls, getting out on door steps, making phone calls and a pretty stiff Facebook campaign.”

George was happy to see Green Party candi-date Andrew Weaver win his riding, Oak Bay-Gordon Head, say-ing these steps are the foundation for starting

a political party. “It’s much of a truism

that much of our poli-tics is based on fear and

the way that the other parties ran their cam-paigns, that was very evident,” George said.

Results differ widely from pollsContinued from front

Sign thefts rampant before election

Unlike the provincial election candidates in the Shuswap riding who have been civil and re-spectful with each oth-er, some supporters are anything but – when it comes to political signs.

In the Shuswap, it seems to be equal-op-portunity nastiness.

Overnight on Wednesday, May 8, more than 50 signs were taken from homes on Lakeshore Drive, from the Raven sub-division back towards downtown.

One of the those thefts traumatized a young person, accord-ing to his father.

Nine-year-old Justin Schielke was awoken about 3 a.m. on May 9 and went to his window. There he saw a man in a black coat on the lawn.

“He said he was

outside his window,” explained father Chris Schielke later that morning, adding that his son was afraid and crying. “He was really frightened. This morn-ing when he got up to walk the dog, he didn’t want to do it. He was afraid to go outside.”

Although a check of the house that morning didn’t reveal anything missing, when Schielke left for school, he no-ticed the NDP sign was gone, along with ev-eryone else’s along his route.

While he understands the political aspect of it, he is shocked that someone would stoop to such tactics.

“Now I have a son who is afraid of what’s going on outside his windows because of someone’s ignorance.”

Joy Orr, local NDP campaign manager, said well over 50 signs

were stolen and broken, some of them defaced with nasty graffiti, and then they were dumped in Klahani Park in South Canoe.

Up until this incident, there had only been mi-nor vandalism through-out the campaign, Orr said.

“I was deeply con-cerned to hear that people who had placed election signs on pri-vate property had their privacy invaded in this manner,” she said.

Salmon Arm RCMP Sgt. Carlos Tettolowski said officers were being asked to do additional patrols and he would appreciate hearing from anyone who has infor-mation regarding the thefts.

BC Conservative candidate Tom Birch was facing a similar situation in Sicamous, where all of his signs were stolen. He said if

he can’t find them, he would not be able to re-place them. He calls the thefts ‘stupidity.’

“If the signs are de-faced or ripped up but they’re there, that’s van-dalism. If they’re miss-ing all together, that’s sabotage,” Birch said.

In the Liberal camp, campaign manager Brian Cowan said about

100 signs have gone missing. He said that’s not unusual, however.

“It happens every election.”

About half of them have been found.

Cowan said such be-haviour ends up looking bad for all the parties, and he notes that people can be fined $10,000 for such acts.

Students at Eagle River Secondary and Salmon Arm Second-ary cast their votes in a mock provincial elec-tion on May 13 for Stu-dent Vote BC 2013.

Eagle River students would have elected Liberal candidate Greg Kyllo in this riding while SAS students would have elected NDP candidate Steve Gunner.

At SAS, Gunner took 32 per cent of the votes followed by Chris George with 31 per cent, Greg Kyllo with 19 per cent, Tom Birch with 14 per cent and Jo-hanna Zalcik with four per cent.

A total of 837 stu-dents cast ballots and 47 were spoiled, with around an 80 per cent voter turnout.

Graham Gomme’s Civics 11 class and Ce-lia Dyer’s Social Stud-ies 10 class ran the elec-tion, which was open to Grades 9 to 12.

“It’s mainly (about) the process, it’s the idea of voting,” Gomme said. “It’s the idea of thinking of who you want to vote for, so that students make an educated vote. That’s the main purpose. We participate every time there’s an election. I think it’s quite benefi-cial.”

At ERS, Kyllo took 34 per cent of the votes followed by Tom Birch and Steve Gunner with 24 per cent each, Chris George with 10 per cent and Johanna Zalcik with zero. There was a

76 per cent voter turn out and two spoiled ballots. Voting was only open to Grade 11 and 12 students.

“I think Student Vote BC and the Federal student vote find that if students do it within the school there’s a bet-ter turnout at the polls. I don’t know if they’ve tracked it,” Gomme said. “If you can get them out between 18 and 30 the odds of them voting are a lot better.”

Fifteen students from Gomme’s class also worked as polling clerks for Elections BC.

Fiery crash claims city man

The BC Coroners Service has con-firmed the identities of two men who died after a motor vehicle crash near Chase on May 6.

The men are Christo-pher Thomas Boman, 24, from Salmon Arm and Michael Spencer, 24, from Sicamous.

The coroner states that Spencer was the driver and Boman the front-seat passenger in a pick-up truck, which police report ran head-

on into a semi-trailer on the Trans-Canada Highway in the Hoff-man’s Bluff area near Chase.

The crash took place shortly after 9 p.m. Both men died at the scene.

Chase and Kamloops RCMP, as well as fire and rescue crews from Pritchard and Chase, were called to the scene where witnesses report-ed the pick-up truck crossed the centre line.

The truck drove into the west-bound semi which was transporting

a load of butter.The pick-up truck

then burst into flames, igniting the semi, as well as some surround-ing trees and brush.

RCMP say they think alcohol and speed were contributing factors in this collision.

A male passenger was able to escape the wreckage after being pulled from the truck by people at the scene. He is reported to have been taken to Royal Inland Hospital in Ka-mloops for treatment of serious injuries.

The driver of the semi-truck suffered a broken leg and was transported to Shuswap Lake General Hospital for treatment.


The RCMP dive team recovered the body of a man from Shuswap Lake on Monday.

The body was recov-ered at approximately 1:30 p.m. on May 13 in the vicinity where 59-year-old John Poole, of Calgary, was reported missing from Eagle Bay on May 1.

Police are work-

ing with the coroner’s service to confirm the identity of the man.

The body was locat-ed using sophisticated sonar equipment made available by volunteers from the U.S.

Idaho couple Gene and Sandy Ralston volunteer their time and their specialized sonar equipment to find missing people in

lakes. Poole’s family contacted the couple after they assisted with the recovery of the bodies of two teen boys from Nicola Lake near Merritt.

Poole was last heard from at approximately 1 p.m. Tuesday, April 30 when he text-mes-saged his wife with a picture of himself near Copper Island. He was

staying at his vacation home in Wild Rose Bay and was seen fish-ing on Shuswap Lake that day.

At approximately 8 a.m. May 1, the man’s boat was found by a resident of the area. It was beached on the rocks and still in gear

Police do not believe Poole was wearing a life jacket.

Mayes makes ‘media monitoring’ list

North Okanagan-Shuswap MP Co-lin Mayes is among those MPs who have captured the attention of the prime minister.

What that will mean for him re-mains to be seen, but there’s one cer-tainty – it has come at a cost to tax-payers.

Federal government expenditures on media monitoring between April 1, 2011 and March 20, 2013 show that Mayes is one of 65 backbench MPs who the government has been watching. Mayes (misspelled as Colin ‘Mays’) is listed as one of more than 400 search terms the Privy Council Office contracted Cision Canada Inc. to monitor.

Cision Canada’s website describes the company this way:

“Marketing and PR profession-als use our products to help manage all aspects of their brands — from identifying key media and influencers to connecting with audiences; monitor-ing traditional and social media; and analyzing out-comes.”

The Privy Council of-fice spent $2.4 million on the media monitoring, which included keeping an eye on the 65 MPs. Government-wide, more than $23 million was spent monitor-ing media over the same period.

The monitoring was news to Mayes, who learned about it late last week.

He told the Observer he is aware the Prime Minister’s Office does some monitoring because there have been a few instances in the past seven years he has been contacted regarding different articles in the newspaper.

“Not many but a couple where they said, ‘do you really want to say this?’ and we talked about it,” explains Mayes. However, he wasn’t aware his name is one of 65 backbench MPs on a list of ‘search’ terms.

“It just came up before I left (Ot-tawa), and so actually I haven’t had

a chance to ask some specifics on it, why they picked the 65,” he said Mon-day. “It’s hard to say. The prime min-ister might have said, he just wants to see 65 people and how they’ve dealt with the media because he’s looking to put them in a higher position – and just wants to know how they handle media… I don’t know.”

Mayes says he will be asking for the reasons when he returns to Ot-tawa. In the meantime, he’s not both-ered by being watched.

“The public is always monitoring me. There are people out there who maybe don’t agree or who are criti-cal, sometimes looking for me at my weakest point. It doesn’t bother me at all. If you don’t like conflict and don’t want to live in a glass room, then don’t run for politics.”

He said most communications are open to monitoring.

“In this world of modern commu-nications, tweeter and Twitter and Facebook and all the rest of it, basically everything you put down on a computer is open. I’ve found the best way, if I’ve got something really private that I don’t want to be repeated, I just phone directly to the person… Anything I put on-line I expect it to be public at any time.”

Among those people being monitored by the

Conservative government is Liberal MP Justin Trudeau. Mayes isn’t sure how he feels about being in his com-pany.

“I don’t know if that is a compli-ment or not. That’s yet to be told,” he laughed.

Federal Liberal MP John McCal-lum, who requested the media moni-toring contracts and their search terms from the feds, is not impressed.

“I think it’s a preposterous waste of money,” he said, adding that it dem-onstrates a certain contempt on the part of the government for its own members.

He noted Google searches are free. “Why you have to spend all this

money is quite beyond me.”

Fountain returns to McGuireCascading water will

soon be seen again at McGuire Lake.

At the May 13 meet-ing of Salmon Arm Council, the city’s di-rector of engineering Rob Nieuwenhuizen reported that the lake should be home to a new fountain within a month.

During the summer of 2012, the submers-ible aeration founatin at the lake stopped work-

ing – and was beyond repair.

Only one supplier was able to provide a quote for the specifica-tions required, Oak-creek Golf & Turf Inc. The new fountain will cost $41,545 plus taxes.

Staff report that the new Otterbine Barebo Giant Fountain features a Triad 3 tiered pattern with a spray height of 50 feet and a diameter of 42 feet. It comes

equipped with a light set which will accom-modate coloured lights as well.

Niewenhuizen said delivery will take two to three weeks and the fountain is expected to be installed within a month.

Both council and staff said they have re-ceived comments from residents anxiously awaiting the fountain’s return.

Editorial

With the advent of summer-like weather in the Shuswap comes another season —fire sea-son. Despite initial cool spring conditions, the fire season has quickly jumped into full swing with the danger ratings climbing, including one section between Salmon Arm and Enderby that is already ranked high.

Since April 1, the Kamloops Fire Centre, which encompasses our region, has responded to 43 human-caused wildfires, the largest of which has grown to about 1,400 hectares. The Salmon Arm fire zone will become subject to an open burning ban on June 15, when all open burning will be prohibited throughout the

Kamloops Fire Centre. This prohibition does not ban campfires that are up to a half-metre high by a half-metre wide and does not apply to cooking stoves that use gas, propane or bri-quettes.

That being said, it is critical that residents and visitors alike be vigilant in conducting any burning in a cautious manner — and this includes cigarette smokers who might be tempted to toss a butt before being certain it is entirely extinguished. This area has seen its share of forest fires.

It would be wonderful if our region could avoid smoke and flames this summer.

goes like this:You are out with a friend at a restaurant, or walking your dog

called babysitting — it’s called parenting. How often do you think this ever happens to a father? When they go out, do they get asked if their wife is babysit-

ting the children? No, it’s just assumed that’s her womanly duty to watch over

home, hearth and progeny. It’s an inherent sexism that simply sets my teeth on edge.

I also hate being called a “working mother.”Yes, I have a job outside of the home, but when I leave here

and return to my residence, I am working every bit as hard. In my mind this phrase is also blatantly sexist. (When’s the

last time you heard a man referred to as a “working father?”)The last thing women need is a wider chasm between stay-at-

home mothers and those who are employed outside the home. While some mothers make their choice without any qualms, I believe that scenario is the exception rather than the norm.

For most mothers I know, the choice between working or staying at home full time is often fraught with doubt and guilt. The stay-at-home mother worries about her potential lost career opportunities, financial implications and yes, likely even about her sanity as the children fight for the umpteenth time about the colour of their drinking cup.

The mother who works outside the home is fraught with guilt over missing the precious moments in their youngster’s life, over whether they are getting proper care. They mentally beat themselves up when they send their child to day care with a cough because they have to be in the office and there’s no other child-care option.

The term “working mother” simply creates divisions between mothers, at a time when women need to stick together in support of each other’s parenting choices, much of which are dictated by economic and social factors beyond our control. Mothers of all persuasions need more supports, not infighting over labels.

Bottom line — we’re all working mothers.

What if?What if the things that

scientists are saying about electromagnetic waves are true? They are saying that these waves are changing the cell structure in the brain, especially in children. This inter-cellular disruption ap-pears as anxiety, failure to focus and difficulty sleeping, which may lead to children being tagged with behav-ioural disorders such as ADD and ADHD. What if we are over-medicating children for conditions that are not treatable with drugs but are preventable? They say this electro-pollution added to all the other forms of pollu-tion that we have adapted to is compromising the immune

system causing a membrane sensitivity that manifests in extreme allergies, hy-persensitivity and in some cases cancers. They say the microwaves emitted by cell phones, microwaves, smart meters and wireless connec-tions in general are causing the changes.

In the last five to seven years, use of this technology has gone up by billions every month. It’s like smoking was in the ’50s and ’60s. It’s cool, it’s convenient and every-body’s doing it. The gigan-tic tele-networks have been marketing it to us like crazy. Don’t mention that it’s an ad-diction or that we should be cutting down or quitting.

What if we found out we

didn’t need to use this tech-nology all the time? Remem-ber when we made popcorn with an air machine or on the stove top? There are still such things as land phones. Computers and smart meters can be hardwired. You could lobby BC Hydro to give the meter readers their jobs back.

In 50 to 75 years from now, the scientific studies done in Europe right now will be-come common knowledge Our population will be fail-ing both physically and men-tally from the effects.

What if we found out we didn’t need to use this tech-nology all of the time?

What if we had a choice?

VICTORIA – Another election cam-paign has come and gone, with the ritual posturing of political parties and most news media searching for anything they can portray as a conflict.

Now comes the time to wonder why not enough people cared, or informed them-selves about the real problems of running this $40 billion corporation called the B.C. government.

Why would they, when the whole thing is presented as a combination of beauty contest and sports event, with endless discussion of polls and “attack ads” and who’s ahead and what’s the score?

Again we have seen the truth of former prime minister Kim Campbell’s observa-tion that elections are no time to talk about serious issues. Indeed, there are some things you can’t speak of at all.

Peace River North MLA Pat Pimm caused a stir at a candidates’ debate when he referred to constituents’ concerns that disabled children can cause difficulties in classrooms.

He didn’t say classrooms should be seg-regated, although that’s a discussion worth having. He didn’t deny the need for more support for special needs kids. But his op-ponents immediately portrayed it that way, and media seized on the conflict despite the factual inaccuracy.

West Vancouver-Capilano MLA Ralph Sultan had a similar experience when he referred to his study of poverty in that af-fluent area. He noted that there was a high correlation between single parenthood and kids in poverty. Picking on single mums, his detractors exclaimed, and that’s what got reported.

The B.C. Conservatives kicked their Boundary-Similkameen candidate out of the party because he wrote an article say-ing women shouldn’t choose to be single

mothers. You can talk about child poverty, as long as you only discuss it based on fed-eral statistics that do not measure poverty. Christy Clark started doing this as soon as she became B.C. Liberal leader, one of several issues where she dispensed with the facts and tried to copy a popular NDP stance instead.

She was all about families, which can of course be single people, single parents or pretty well anything you want them to be.

In fact the decline of the traditional family and the abdication of responsibil-ity by many parents, fathers in particular, are central factors in the problem of poor and neglected children. But you can’t talk about that, at least not during elections.

Whole areas of political discussion have devolved into euphemisms that are cho-sen because they can’t be defined. Every-body’s in favour of “affordable housing,” for instance. What they won’t admit is that this is code for subsidized housing, be-cause then they would have to talk about how much the subsidy is, and who has to pay for it.

Good grief, that might raise the ques-tion of whether the state should be taking money away from some people and giving it to others so they can live where they oth-erwise couldn’t afford to live.

We even have rules preventing the me-dia from reporting polls on election day. People might be influenced by this, you see.

If you tell them Party X is far ahead, they might stay home and mow the lawn instead. If you tell them someone is mak-ing a comeback, they might change their vote because they want to be on the win-ning side, or the one that has “momen-tum.” Just like any other sport.

The news media are steadily losing in-fluence with the public. There are many factors involved, including the vast array of information sources that are available at most people’s fingertips.

Another factor is treating the public like they’re idiots.

The bubble always bursts

Loss of Christy won’t hurt party

Citizens deserve a choice

In this election, I have heard many claims, but the oddest is that of the Liberals that the economic crisis of 2009 was unforeseen and was “not on the radar.”

First, all of the commen-tators I follow were saying things like “this is madness,”

and “this will end in tears,” and I will happily supply a partial list of them to anyone who requests it.

Secondly, any time we see people singing “We’re in the money,” and “We’ll be rich,” we know that the crash is coming, just as the night fol-

lows the day. Busts follow bubbles. Crashes follow ir-rational exuberance.

That is the reality of our world.

If reality isn’t on the Lib-eral radar, what is?

Richard Smiley

Where can I catch the 8:01 to Ouster?

If you have to be a BC Liberal member to join the 801 Movement to oust Chris-ty Clark, I want to sign up.

She’ll do anything to make a splash – she’ll be rash – she’ll be brash – she’ll even dig up trash – whatever it takes to make the cameras flash. I’d feel safer swimming with a

shark than walking in a park after dark with Clark. The end of Ms. Christy won’t make this voter misty.

FROM THE

Archives

1933 The new road between Canoe and Sicamous was nearing comple-tion. It was reported it would save time and be a scenic drive. More prospectors were going into Scotch Creek. It was reported that in one claim about an ounce of gold a day had been taken out. Traces of platinum were also discov-ered.

1943 Mr. and Mrs. Bill Belver-stone were visiting at the Coast when Bill decided to again offer his services to the Veterans’ Guard. He was accepted and Mrs. Belverstone had to return alone.AW1 E. Peterson of the RCAF (WD), Pte. Stan Redmond, Pte. Wm. Ripley, Pte. Geo Kingstona and Pte. N. McLean were home on leave.

1953 Salmon Arm re� ected the trend toward Social Credit in the 1953 provincial election when it gave J. Allan Reid a margin of 237 votes over his nearest opponent, W.J. Thompson, CCF Nominee, on the � rst count.Pictures of the coronation day parade showed two prize-winning � oats. One was the Japanese-Canadian entry depicting a cherry tree in full bloom and the other carried several members of the Neskonleth Indian Band in native costumes.

1963 Municipal council asked for tenders for the construction of a 150,000-gallon reservoir to increase the sup-ply of water in the Salmon Arm municipal system. A new pump with a capacity of 1,000 gal-lons a minute will be installed in the pump-ing plant on Shuswap Lake.Supporters of the proposed Shuswap River-Okanagan Lake canal wished to meet with Salmon Arm municipal council to provide full details on the project.

LIFE & TIMES

It’s a room of doing, not sit-ting still – a room where Grade 11 students are learning about their environment and enjoy-ing the process.

“It’s pretty entertaining – better than most classes,” says Brian Sutter. “Instead of tests, we do projects and it’s nice to learn about the local area.”

Classmate Richard Pittman agrees.

“There’s a lot of hands-on, it keeps you interested,” he says, pointing to a bowl of pebbles in which he is planning to plant seeds.

Students have built simulat-ed wetlands with pop bottles, tubes and pebbles in the pop bottles and small bowls in or-der to learn about the critical importance of real-life wet-lands in purifying water.

It is one of the many varied classroom projects the students have engaged in during this, the � rst year, of Salmon Arm Secondary’s Environmental Science 11 – The Shuswap Watershed course.

The students have conducted an on-site waste audit trash and learned that 70 to 100 per cent of North Paci� c sea birds are affected by eating plastic.

They’ve discovered how dif-ferent kinds of ground cover affect runoff and how rivers function.

As well as lab work, the en-thusiastic students have par-ticipated in valuable � eld trips where they have tested water in the Shuswap watershed and collected and planted willow cuttings for streambank reha-bilitation.

Equally enthusiastic science teacher Dave Ramsay intro-duced the curriculum he had

created as part of his masters program in leadership and ad-ministration.

Ramsay says the large Shus-wap Lake algae bloom in 2008 got him thinking about how water quality is critical to the planet’s health.

“There’s a lot of stuff hap-pening out there and who’s teaching about it,” he asked himself, recognizing at the same time growing communi-ty polarization over the Smart-Centres development on the Salmon River delta.

“I realized as an educator, my main priority is the water,” he says. “Then I asked myself, what’s my role?”

Ramsay says sustainability of the planet is in the hands of the people so educating deci-sion-makers about the impor-tance of sustainability could reduce costly con� icts such as those over SmartCentres.

“I suspect it’s been a costly event for everyone,” he says, emphasizing the need for pro-tecting water and the rami� ca-tions of failing to do so. “But instead of con� ict, we have an opportunity to work together.”

Ramsay’s designed the course to answer several ques-tions: What is sustainability? To what extent are natural sys-tems connected? To what ex-tent do human activities impact the sustainability of the Shus-wap Wstershed?

While they are learning the answers to these questions, students are increasing their technical knowledge, becom-ing engaged with the needs of the planet and potentially im-proving sustainable behaviour.

Ramsay says the course is a perfect � t with the school dis-trict’s green “learn it – love it - live it” motto that encourages a commitment to understanding

sustainability, mod-elling green steward-ship and implement-ing environmental actions in the school, district and commu-nity.

The curriculum em-phasizes “three Ps” – people, planet and pros-perity, a process in which environmental protection and resource conservation contributes to social well-being, economic prosperity and continuity.

Ramsay is teaching in tandem with social studies teacher Graham Gomme and has invited avid supporter and former teacher Kim Fulton, aka Dr. Fish, to help with � eld-work.

Still working his way through the � rst year, Ramsay is keen to share his vision of where the course could lead.

He sees the potential for developing a Grade 12 course – something his students have asked for – and the possibility of self-directed study.

“They are so darn smart and they want to learn stuff that’s real,” he says, with excitement, suggesting Okanagan College could include Shuswap Wa-tershed studies and support “green jobs.”

“If we became known for sustainability, we could at-tract researchers, PhDs, people working at the college. As we

grow economically, we need to grow sustainably, integrating knowledge instead of pitting one side against the other.”

Ramsay has found sup-port for his course from many sources – RBC’s Blue Wa-ter Program, Department of Fisheries and Oceans, School District #83, Wild BC and the Kalamalka Research Forest, support that has allowed him to plan � eld trips and stream rehabilitation.

“I’m amazed at the level of support, this is a big ship to get underway,” he says noting the work that has gone into building infrastructure for the course and making sure it will work. “You can’t just let kids go, you have to provide an op-portunity for success.”

Chance of flooding reducedThe need to keep

children and pets away from fast-flowing streams and rivers re-mains, but for Salmon Arm at least, flood wor-ries can likely recede.

What happens on the Shuswap and Eagle rivers will depend on a combination of weath-er and how the upper-elevation snow melts.

David Campbell, hy-drologist, geoscientist and head of BC River Watch, said Friday that while the snow pillows that feed Salmon River and the Adams River were 120 per cent of normal on May 1 – thanks to new snow in April – mid elevation snow up to about 1,500 metres is almost gone.

Campbell says tem-peratures of 18 and 20 degrees Celsius have been recorded at both snow pillows, speeding up the melt of mid-lev-el snow after a colder-weather delay.

“We’ve seen that in the small to mid-sized rivers in that terrain and I suspect we’ve reached the peak,” said Campbell of the

Salmon River, which had reached the Salm-on River Bridge deck last week. “Levels will remain elevated but I don’t think we’ll see much additional rise.”

He says, the Shus-wap and Eagle rivers haven’t hit their peak yet as they are fed by higher-elevation snow.

“The Eagle River is below the level of con-cern but steadily climb-ing,” said Campbell.

“It will probably drop a bit but it could be affected by the rain. Monday and Tuesday could be critical time.”

He says officials are keeping an eye on the two rivers while noting last year’s melt was ac-companied by frequent intense rainfalls.

Following a heli-copter ride above Two Mile and Swansea Point last week, Dis-trict of Sicamous chief administrative officer Heidi Frank said “there is absolutely nothing to worry about” at this time.

“We’re monitoring the creeks and taking precautions to stave off events like we had last year,” she said Friday.

“At this point, there doesn’t appear to be any danger of flood-ing.”

In the meantime, Campbell says Shus-wap Lake is still weeks away from peaking.

Residents and visi-tors to these regions are urged to use extreme caution on or near all waterways.

Flood waters can be fast-rising and fast-moving, carry large debris and make shore-lines unstable.

High water: The BC Rivers Forecast Centre says that the Salm-on River likely peaked on Friday, May 10 and should begin to recede in the coming weeks.

Fire danger ratings begin to climb

Fire season is well underway and the word of the day is caution.

Since April 1 there have been 186 fires in the province and all but two were person-caused.

Forty-three of those fires have taken place in the Kamloops Fire Centre – every one of them person-caused.

There has been one small person-caused fire in the Salmon Arm Zone that is part of the Kamloops Fire Centre and, as of Monday, the fire danger rating was already high.

“Last week was so hot, even exhaust form an ATv could start a fire,” said provincial fire information of-ficer Kevin Skrepnek. “You don’t usually see humidity that low in May.”

Skrepnek says the area west of Salmon Arm has a high danger rating, while to the east the rating is modest to low.

“It’s a bit cooler and gloomier, but it’s still a danger,” he said Mon-day afternoon, noting light rain after the dry spell will not do a lot to lower the risk.

officials are monitor-ing the situation closely and open burning in the Kamloops Fire Centre is restricted as of today, May 15 – except in the wetter Salmon Arm zone where the restric-tion goes into effect June 15.

Anyone who chooses to burn in the Salmon Arm Zone must not set a grass fire and must ac-quire a burn registration if the fire is over two metres by three metres. Salmon Arm Fire Chief Brad Shirley says the City of Salmon Arm

adheres to the prohibi-tion set out by the fire centre.

“We’re cautioning people, we’d prefer they wait to fall to burn, but if it’s something they want to do, they need to get a permit – even for a campfire,” says Shirley, noting that a campfire permit is $10 annually and is in effect from Jan. 1 to Dec. 31 of any calendar year.

The preliminary inquiry for a pair of young people accused in the first-degree murder of Ty-ler Myers has been set for oct. 15 in the salmon Arm Courthouse.

Nearly four years after the murder took place, rCMP investigators arrested a 20-year-old man and a 21-year-old woman in November. both are charged under the Youth Criminal Justice Act be-cause they were under the age of 18 at the time of the alleged offence. This means their names can not be published.

Myers, who was 22 at the time of his death, was found in the yard of bastion elementary on November 21, 2008 where he died of a gunshot wound.

A preliminary hearing is set to allow a judge to determine whether there is sufficient evidence for the case to proceed to trial. Due to a routine publi-cation ban, none of the evidence can be published until the entire case is concluded.

A 21-year-old man from salmon Arm is also facing charges of obstruction of justice in relation to this case. His name has also not been released.

MANAGING YOUR MONEYParticipating in your insurance can pay

Having life insurance coverage is a very important decision for you and your bene� ciaries. But there are many life insurance products to choose from. Which is right for you? Which is the best � t for your personal situation, budget and longer-term � nancial, retirement and estate goals? It could be Participating Whole Life insurance (also known as Par Whole Life) if this pro� le looks like you:

• My tolerance for investment risk is low

• I want protection for my lifetime with guaranteed premiums, guaranteed cash values and a guaranteed basic death bene� t that will be tax-free to my bene� ciaries.

• I want an investment component included with my insurance coverage that provides the potential for tax-deferred growth, a level premium and for the policy to become paid up over a number of years.

• I don’t want the burden of the day-to-day management of the investment component of my life insurance policy.

• I want built-in tax-advantaged savings I can easily and quickly draw on if I need the funds for personal or business reasons (although I do recognize that any cash values I withdraw from the policy may be subject to tax).

Participating life insurance combines life insurance with an investment component that also pays dividends. Here’s how participating whole life (Par) works:

• Your premiums go into an account, called the PAR account, along with the premiums paid by everyone else holding a participating policy with the life insurance company you choose.

• The premiums you pay and the policy coverages are calculated based on long-term assumptions for death claims, investment returns and other factors. Your premiums, the guaranteed cash surrender value schedule and the basic death bene� t are based on these factors and are guaranteed for the life of your policy. Paid up additions, determined by the dividends you have paid, are eligible to earn future dividends – that’s what provides for the compounding of a Whole Life policy – a great feature, and it’s tax sheltered.

• The pooled premiums within the PAR account of all policyholders who own PAR policies are invested in a balanced portfolio managed by investment professionals.

• When a pro� t is earned on a participating policy, a signi� cant portion is distributed to the policyholders in the form of a dividend that is credited to your policy and owned by you. Although dividends are not guaranteed, participating policies have historically earned pro� ts and returned dividends. You can use the dividends to increase the policy’s cash value on a tax-advantaged basis, withdraw the cash from your policy or borrow against it, buy additional insurance without the need to prove your insurability, or to lower your out-of-pocket premiums.

Participating insurance products offer choice and � exibility. Talk to your professional advisor to � nd out if your personal and � nancial pro� le is up to PAR.

Myers, who was 22 at the time of his death, was found in the yard of bastion elementary on November 21, 2008 where he died of a gunshot wound.

A preliminary hearing is set to allow a judge to determine whether there is sufficient evidence for the case to proceed to trial. Due to a routine publi-cation ban, none of the evidence can be published until the entire case is concluded.

A 21-year-old man from salmon Arm is also facing charges of obstruction of justice in relation to this case. His name has also not been released.

Musician’s message inspires city students

Accompanied by music and humour, Robb Nash’s message to students ignited something already rooted within each of them — strength.

Sponsored by the S.A.F.E so-ciety, The Robb Nash Project visited First United Church on May 7 and Grade 8 and nine students from Salmon Arm Secondary, Shuswap Middle School, Salmon Arm Storefront and Eagle River were engaged by the story that has managed to resonate with many of the thousands of students who have heard it.

Nash gave up a record deal and has instead made it his mis-sion to tell youth that, no matter what their struggles are, they have a purpose and the ability to create change. Through rock music and words, he told stories of addiction, bullying, self harm, depression and suicide in an ef-fort to show youth that they are not alone. He was accompanied by guitarist Ryan Richley and drummer Jonny Holliday.

“Kids don’t respond to us be-cause we’re perfect examples,” Nash said. “They respond to us because they can see this guy is [messed] up just like me, he’s made mistakes and so have I, and he’s turned it around and so can I. I’m not the perfect ex-ample. I’m just a good example of starting over and that’s what we’re trying to teach kids, to be willing to start over.”

Nash suffered a near-fatal car crash as a teenager. After spend-ing months in a coma from which he was not expected to emerge, he no longer felt he had a purpose or was wor-thy of anything. During his plunge into anger and depres-sion, he realized he wasn’t living his life the way he could be.

“Nobody ever told me when I was a teenager that my life could have purpose, that I could do something that mat-ters,” Nash said. “We’re not trying to change the world, we’re trying to create world changers.”

Myja Willis was once a trou-bled teen who heard Nash’s message and chose to turn her life around. Now she is touring with the band and sharing her story and the song she wrote

about her struggles. “I can’t describe how it feels

to have girls coming up to me afterwards and hug me and tell me that because of my words they’re going to stay alive,” Wil-lis said.

Approximately 50 students

approached Nash after the con-cert.

Nash has collected 94 suicide notes from students in the past few weeks he’s been touring. He says the most rewarding thing about what he does is seeing students do something of signifi-

cance for their community after hearing his message.

Dawn Mullaney, a student from Shuswap Middle School said she was impressed with the number of students who ap-proached Nash after the show. She said it was different from

things they usually see, “in a good way.”

Colleen Making, co-ordi-nator and counsellor at the S.A.F.E Society, saw Nash perform at a child and youth conference and had been try-ing to get him to Salmon Arm ever since.

“I’ve been at my job for over 18 years here and know-ing the students here and re-sources here that he could

really impact kids and students within our community,” Making said.

She wanted the presentation to be open to students from more than one school, hoping the community will want to bring him back for a larger event.

The majority of trails in the South Canoe Trail System remain in great shape, with just a few smaller connector trails closed due to run-off.

Phil MacIntyre-Paul, with the Shuswap Trail Alliance, explains that a few of the trails that have been created “so-cially” over the years rather than as part of a plan, are not holding

water well. “Literally a couple

have become a creek, some with big pools. We have to go around the water which widens the trails.”

He explains that both the city public works department and the provincial land manag-ers have said the trails must be closed until corrective measures are complete. Temporary rustic signs have been erected, warning of the spot closures and point-

ing out alternate routes. Work is underway

by trail stewards, user groups and residents to upgrade the connector trails so they are sus-tainable.

Signage is being developed for the en-tire trail system, he adds, but trails can’t be signed unless they’re a “legal, sanctioned, sus-tainable trail.”

He notes that over the last nine years a lot of individuals and groups have been working well

together on the system. The trails accommo-date hikers, mountain bikers, equestrians and, in winter, snowshoers.

One new feature on the Shuswap Trail Al-liance website gives us-ers a place to report in-formation about trails.

The website can be supplied with the most up-to-date information by going to www.shus-waptrails.com, then finding the trail in ques-tion and clicking on ‘re-port a trail issue.’

Run-off shuts down a few trails

Heat could give wasps a boost

If there’s a sting to spring, it’s the emer-gence of yellow jackets and hornets.

While she doesn’t necessarily think the numbers are higher than normal this year, Nicole Jeans-Williams, a forest health special-ist and entomologist from Blind Bay, says the recent warm spell and lack of an extend-ed cold period in the winter could certainly boost their numbers.

She says yellow jackets and hornets are more aggressive, while paper wasps build a lot of nests but are general-ly less inclined to sting.

Paper wasps belong to the Polistes humi-lis family and build open-celled nests. They don’t like anyone get-ting close to their nests, but are not nearly as aggressive as yellow jackets.

“They’re not as bright as the typical yellow jacket,” says Jeans-Wil-liams. “They’re a duller yellow, a bit thinner and

their legs hang when they’re flying rather than being tucked up.”

Jeans-Williams says they’re very common and their nests are re-ally easy to see.

That’s what I see the most of, unless I am having a picnic and then we have the vesp-ulas.

Jeans-Williams says yellow jackets belong to the Vespula penn-sylvanica species and were the most common in 2007 when she was contracted to trap them in Salmon Arm.

Yellow jackets like human food, which is why they show up a barbecues and picnics. They most often nest in trees and crevices.

“We also have high numbers of the bald-faced hornet,” says Jeans-Williams, noting they have very distinct black and white colour-ing. “They usually have nests that hang from trees and they can be very aggressive nest protectors.”

As well, they are car-nivores, she says. They don’t go after dead

meat like the vespulas do, and will even feed on the vespulas.

“Don’t disturb their nests because their sting is pretty nasty,” Jeans-Williams says, advising residents to call professionals to rid them of yellow jacket or bald-faced hornet nests.

“Paper wasps will sting but only if they’re really riled up and they don’t tend to bother your meal outside.”

Two introduced spe-cies can be a nuisance –- the German yellow jacket because it likes to nest inside houses, particularly attics, and a new paper wasp that could be a problem with cherry orchards.

“There are a number of additional species that are a minor prob-lem,” says John Bor-den, professor emeritus of Simon Fraser Uni-versity and forest ento-mologist.

“Unfortunately, it’s hard to tell the good guys from bad guys.”

He suggests using a pesticide contain-ing pyrethroids, com-pounds found in chry-santhemums.

“It’s toxic, but not very stable, so it breaks down when exposed to air and sunlight,” he says, noting most products now contain synthetic pyrethroids. “The best time to do something is wait until evening.”

Men took to their feet Thursday to coun-ter violence against aboriginal women and children.

A walk was orga-nized by the Adams Lake, Little Shuswap and Neskonlith bands to bring awareness to the issue of violence in First Nations commu-nities and to promote action to stop it.

“Although we’re sep-arate entities, they’re all communities who have similar things they have ex-perienced with violence,” ex-plained Craig Duckchief, a support work-er for the Ad-ams Lake band and one of the organizers of the walk.

While Duckchief points out that such vi-olence is not exclusive to aboriginal commu-nities, he says Statis-tics Canada shows that “aboriginal women are three times more likely to face violence in the community.”

Coordinating the walk for the Neskonlith band was Jeromy By-ron, while Frank An-toine was the organizer for the Little Shuswap.

Duckchief said the walk was initially meant for aboriginal men, but then every-

one who wanted to take part was welcomed.

Because the walk was a collaborative venture, some walk-ers started out under the blazing sun at the Little Shuswap Band hall behind the Tap-pen Co-op and walked south to Pierre’s Point, while others started at the Neskonlith Band health centre and walked north, meeting at Pierre’s Point.

More than 20 peo-ple participated in the walk, which was accompanied by an

RCMP escort for highway safety. About 40 people came to the potluck din-ner following the event.

Duckchief explains that the walk was inspired

by the Moose Hide Campaign, an effort promoted by the BC Aboriginal Friendship Society.

He explains that one of the former directors was out hunting for moose with his daugh-ter and they were talk-ing about violence and the incidence of miss-ing women.

They talked about having a symbol – a small square of moose hide on a pin, to help bring awareness to the issue.

States the campaign

website: “This is a call to

Aboriginal men in all communities across the country to spread the word, hold their own

campaigns in the spirit of brotherhood, and to protect our sisters, aunties, grandmothers, mothers and daughters from violence.”

Walking to stop violenceAction: Bands join to protect women, children.

Moving statement: Three First Nations bands hold a walk Thursday aimed at pro-tecting women and children from violence.

Four in a row: Members of the Enactus Okanagan team hold up four fingers, represent-ing their fourth win in a row in the Help Hunger Disappear competition.

Enactus keeps their title

For the fourth year in a row, Enactus Okana-gan College has been crowned the country’s 2013 Help Hunger Disappear champion at the Enactus National Exposition. They were also named one of the top four overall Na-tional teams.

“Okanagan College is pretty small so being able to represent us and have that much success against the 50 biggest universities in Canada is pretty amazing,” said Thomas Arrowsmith, team member and stu-dent at Salmon Arm’s Okanagan College campus.

The Okanagan Col-lege team is the only Enactus team in Can-ada to have won the Help Hunger Disap-pear challenge, which was created four years ago with support from Campbell Company of Canada. The team won the inaugural challenge in 2010 and has con-tinued to dominate the hunger relief initiative

for four consecutive years.

The team was pre-sented with their award on May 6 at the Na-tional Enactus Exposi-tion in Toronto.

“The Enactus Okan-agan College team stood out again this year for their contin-ued teamwork and commitment to last-ing hunger solutions in their community,” said Mark Childs, vice president of Marketing, Campbell Company of Canada. “Their bound-less energy, passion and creativity continue to impress—they are truly role models for us all.”

The team from Okanagan College was recognized for their work to raise more than 54,000 pounds of food for food banks throughout the region. Creating and deliver-ing 11 hunger relief initiatives, the Enac-tus Okanagan College students implemented projects in Salmon Arm, Vernon, Kelow-na, and Penticton.

Their projects ranged

from the Farm Bag Fundraiser, in which the students work with local farmers to dis-tribute local produce, making farming more viable and sustainable through a franchise type model, to MO-Mentum, which em-powers single mothers with information about how to cook healthy and affordable meals and connects them with financial skills to better manage their lives.

Terry Kosowick of Salmon Arm’s campus was also one of the finalists for the John Dobson Fellow Award for the work he has done as faculty advisor to Enactus Okanagan College.

“He’s been a huge supporter of our team and we wouldn’t have gotten where we are

without him, especially in Salmon Arm,” Ar-rowsmith said.

“Everyone at Okan-agan College is ex-tremely proud of the work our students are doing to transform their communities,” said college president Jim Hamilton.

“It is certainly an honour to win this award for the fourth year in a row but more important than the award is the collabo-ration and support our students receive from the many organiza-tions, schools and non-profits they work with to develop their hunger relief projects. Partner-ship of this kind are incredibly important to their education and to creating sustainable long-term change in our communities.”

When you turn on your tap and clean, safe water comes out, do you ever wonder how it got there or what happens to it when it goes down the drain? Or why you should care?

“We may think we have enough water for our needs in BC but that is not always the case. Our water is finite, and the demand is increasing due to climate change, popula-tion growth and industry needs,” says Daisy Fos-ter, CEO of the 4,700-member BC Water & Waste Association. “Although the expenses may not be apparent, there are significant costs, energy and human input required to treat our drink-ing water to be clean and safe, deliver it to our taps, and manage the wastewater that goes down the drain.”

She adds, “New regulations and aging infrastructure such as pipes and treatment systems will mean upgrades and replace-ments and this is something we are all going to have to pay for.”

During Drinking Water Week, May 20 – 26, BC Water & Waste Association asks you to ‘Get

to Know Your H2O’ and think about the impact of your every-day habits.

“We forget that we use the same treated drinking water to

wash our cars and water our lawns. We flush our toilets and away it goes with whatever we put down there,” says Foster. “Just a few simple changes such as water-ing our lawns less, using rain barrels, installing

water efficient fixtures or appli-ances, and not putting harmful substances down our drains can make a big difference.”

For example, detergents, paint, medications, and many other household products end up at wastewater treatment plants where special processes are required to minimize the impact on the environment and receiv-ing waters. Fats, oils and grease that we put down our drains can often cause blockages in sewer lines resulting in costly repairs.

Foster says, “During Drinking Water Week, get involved and learn more about your water and the impact of your actions. Start by taking the Community Water

Challenge and pledge to be water wise.”

The five easy pledges can be taken online. People can also find out about community events such as tours of water and wastewater treatment facil-ities in their area, or download fun and educational activities for children and families, at www.drinkingwaterweek.org.

Our water – Why do we need to protect it? Why should we care?

Be Water Wise:□ I will limit my shower time to 5 minutes per day.

□ I will install a water efficient fixture or appliance in my home.

□ I will use less water outdoors by giving my lawn only the amount of water it needs (2.5 cm of water each week, or the height of a tuna can).

□ I will turn off the tap when brushing my teeth, scrubbing dishes, shaving, or during any other water wasting activity.

□ I will not put harmful substances such as cleaners, paints, pesticides and grease down my drain.

Did You Know? n The average British Columbian uses 353 litres of water per day, yet thinks they use less than 200 litres per day.* n 78 per cent of British Columbians would fix an internet outage within a day, but only 50 per cent would fix a leaky faucet within the same time frame.*n Replacing an 18-litre-per-flush toilet with an ultra low volume 6-litre or less model leads to a 66% savings in water flushed and will reduce indoor water use by about 30%.

Tale behind the tulips

The tulips blooming in Marion Huysmans’ yard are growing into more than just flowers. Three years ago, when she found out her fa-ther’s cancer was termi-nal, she decided to re-connect with her Dutch heritage and learn her father’s gardening tricks. Since then, she has managed to grow tulips that journeyed three countries and have connected her with more family history than she ever expected.

“Once I realized my time was more limited I thought the best way to remember him and keep him alive is learn all of these things that he’s learned over his 80 years,” Huysmans said.

Huysmans has al-ways shared her love for gardening with her father, Peter, but could

never compete with his garden.

While living in Lim-men, Holland, her grandfather grew three types of tulips in their family garden that were later obtained by the Hortus Bulborum, a bulb garden that has preserved many flow-ers that have gone com-mercially extinct. Huys-mans set out to find the three varieties, although her father believed they didn’t exist any more.

It only took a little research to find that Old House Gardens in Michigan still carries one of the varieties in their catalogue. They were also able to order the other two from none other than Hortus Bul-borum itself.

“The bulbs are com-ing from a place where my parents still have roots,” Huysmans said.

doesn’t usually ship to Canada, but was more than willing to send Huysmans the bulbs that meant so much to her. Since planting the bulbs in the fall, the Generaal de Wet and Brilliant Star have bloomed.

“It encompasses ev-ery connection I’ve ever felt with my dad,”

Huysmans said. “I don’t have words for what it is.”

Her father just cele-brated his 85th birthday, in the spring when the flowers bloom. Huys-mans says the spring will have a new signifi-cance for her.

“My dad is never go-ing to be gone, never,” she said.

This past winter was kind to golf courses.

All of the region’s courses wintered well, with several opening earlier than normal.

Just off Highway 97B beyond Salmon Arm’s industrial park, Canoe Creek Golf Course is in excellent shape for its seventh season, says head pro Jesse Crowe, noting that the last couple of seasons, the course has won best-conditioned golf course by the readers of BC Golf Guide magazine.

Highlights of the course include the pot bunkers, he says, term-ing them “fantastically frustrating.” Another highlight is the signa-ture third hole, which features an “elevated par-three across water with a beautiful water feature.”

At the Salmon Arm

Golf Club, general manager, director of golf and CPGA Doug Herron says the course wintered really well, allowing it to open ear-lier than in the previous three seasons.

The club boasts two courses, the 18-hole Champions Course and the executive nine-hole Heritage Course. A big juniors program is set to start this month and many special rates are being offered for all ages, including one for first responders. Other highlights include the Spalding Cup, the lon-gest running amateur tournament in B.C., now in its 85th year, which goes the last weekend in May.

At Club Shuswap Golf and RV just off the Trans-Canada nearing Canoe, Bruce Barnard notes that golfers can

enjoy nine or 18 holes of executive golf, or fun for the family at the 18-hole real greens Putter’s Paradise.

The club also boasts a covered and open driv-ing range, chipping and grassy areas and a large practise green. Barnard adds that corporate and family tournaments are the club’s speciality.

At Hyde Moun-tain on Mara Lake near Sicamous, pro Rick Thompson says

his course, too, came through the winter in great shape.

One of the course highlights is its fourth hole, called Geronimo, where golfers can tee off 240 feet above the fairways. A lot of peo-ple are wowed by the scenery, he says, with five or six views over-looking Mara Lake.

At Eagle River Golf and Country Club in Sicamous, co-owner Rick Jaeger explains the

course has more than 2,400 feet on the Eagle River, as well as a creek running through the middle of the course.

It stays dry and opens early, he says, because it’s sand-based being next to the river, so moisture drains away. Several tournaments are coming up including the long-running legion tournament May 25, the chamber of commerce tourney on May 31 and the men’s open June 1.

smith back on topSalmon Arm native Bev Smith has been named assistant coach to Canada’s Senior Women’s National Basketball Team for this summer’s competitive season. New head coach Lisa Thomaidis will be joined by Smith and Shaw-nee Harle. Smith has extensive experience and played for the team from 1978 to 1988 and cap-tained from 1992 to 1996. She was at the helm of Team Canada from 1997 to 2001 and played for 13 seasons in Italy. Former Salmon Arm Jewel Allison McNeill stepped down as coach of the team after their excellent performance at the London Olympics.

tops in tourneyThe Shuswap Outlaws Midget lacrosse team travelled to the Kamloops Snakebite tournament and started out well Friday night, notching an 11-0 whitewash of the host Kamloops Rattlers. As the round robin portion of the tournament proceeded, the Outlaws scored wins over MacK-enzie (11-3) and Kamloops #2 (11-1) and fought to a 2-2 draw with Prince George. That record was good enough to place the Outlaws in the final against Prince George. In the tournament final, the teams were knotted at 3-3 after a tight first period. Shuswap then pulled away in the final two frames for a 9-4 victory and the first tournament win of the year. Game MVP awards went to Sean MacDonald, Logan Mostat, Kaden Sagh and Austin Pugh. The Outlaws host their own tournament at Shaw Center May 24 to 26.

Seven hundred take the Salty Dog test

Twenty-three Shuswap Swimmers journeyed south this past weekend for the Kelowna AquaJet May Long-course Invitational at the H2O Recreation Centre.

More than 400 swimmers from 16 B.C. and Alberta swim clubs attended the three-day event. Shuswap Swim-ming placed eighth in the team standings which were won by the Kamloops Classics Swim Team. This is the first meet of the season in a 50-metre (long course) pool.

Fifteen-year-old Bree Coo-

per sparkled as the top per-forming Shuswap swimmer. Swimming 18 total races, Cooper won the women’s 100- and 200-m freestyle events in outstanding early season times of 1:01.39 and 2:17.54 respec-tively. The 100-m time quali-fies her for the Western Cana-dian Championships. Cooper captured silver medals in the 50-m freestyle, the 200-m in-dividual medley, and the 50-m butterfly, where she broke 30 seconds for the first time, qualifying for the Canadian Age-Group Championship in

Montreal in July.Ty Webster-Locke, (13),

brought home bronze medals in the 50- and 100-m freestyle with times of: 28.95 seconds and 1:03.22 minutes respec-tively. Webster-Locke swam 16 races over the three days.

A dozen Shuswap swim-mers swam to qualifying times for BC championship meets. Qualifiers for the BC AA Championships in Victoria this June are: Paige Coutlee, Thomas Flahr; Logan Pilias; Emma Pyle; Ethan Pyle; Lilli Rakose-Lund; Jacob Rambo;

Morgan Rasmuson; and Jenna Tiedeman. Swimmers qualify-ing for the BC AAA Champi-onships in Vancouver this July are: Bree Cooper; Olin Mosher and Ty Webster-Locke.

“Former coaches Mike and Jenny Effray have done a ter-rific job preparing these swim-mers,” commented new coach Sam Montgomery. “We had an almost unbelievable 94 per cent lifetime best time rate at this meet, my first meet, after only 10 days with the team. These swimmers are definitely winners with a strong future.”

Pedal powerTrond, Abbi and Rachel May try out some of the pedal-powered kayaks on display at the annual SARP open house held Saturday.

On May 8, the Salmon Arm Second-ary Rugby Jewels went to Norkam for the first round of the playoffs and a berth into the pro-vincials.

A very close and in-tense game was played by the Jewels. The last meeting of the two teams was 35 players on the bench for Nor-kam and 14 for the Jew-els. Not a lot of sports-manship was shown by Norkam who played all 35 and did not match player for player.

When it counted for playoffs and a berth in the B.C.’s the Jewels came out strong, run-ning and gunning. They scored first by Marin Faulkner, who slotted the conversion, 7-0.

Norkam came back utilizing some big play-ers in the forward pack but only to be thrown in the sin bin for taking out their frustrations on the Jewels for not be-ing able to score. Again the Norkam team had a

wave of subs come on to play but, to no avail. The Jewels moved the ball well to Brooke Miller and Olivia Plumber who scored in the corner, 12-0. Then a bit of lapse in the Jewels play caused the Norkam Saints to make a come-back, powering the ball into the end zone, 12-7.

Under big pressure and fresh legs, the Jew-els were again stuck in their end of the field. Grace Rempel and Fly-nn Johnson made some great defending tackles. Unfortunately Norkam scored again, making it 12-12. Midway through the second half, Jew-els player Tricie Tuati broke through a few tackles to off-load the ball to Juli MacLean, who then again off load-ed to Avia Latosky. She passed to Plumber who made an excellent run down the wing to score 17-12.

Back came Norkam to go for a berth in the B.C.’s, only to be

stumped by Faulkner’s clearing kicks that kept Norkam out of the end-zone in the last nail-bit-ing five minutes of the game. This is the first time in SAS’ history that the Rugby Jewels are going to provincials, this year May 23 to 26 in Vancouver.

Golds shineOn May 7, Fulton

came to SAS for the fi-nal Junior Boys Rugby league game.

Prior meetings of the two teams showed a steep learning curve for SAS, when 90 per cent of the team had not played last year or in years before. This game was different. The Golds came out firing, containing Fulton in their end but to no avail. Fulton escaped with a wide open run to score on SAS. Again the Ju-nior Boys put huge pressure on Fulton, but once again the Ma-roons escaped to score one more try. It was a

little disheartening at half time for the Golds. Captains Jordan His-lop and Nathan Gollan had a few key words to say in hopes of turning things around. In the second play after half- time, from the base of the scrum, Hislop took the ball blind-side with Dan Helgeson on his heels, and Hislop pow-ered over the Fulton winger to score. Then again in Fulton’s end, a lineout on Fulton’s 22, Luke Dufresne threw long to Gollan, who off-loaded to Chad Baker at stand-off, who stepped left, then right, to score under the posts. Con-nor Benson slotted the two points. Then out-standing play by the Golds who moved the ball well down the line to wingers Amar Kang and Jase Robert to get within 10 yards of the try line. Fulton retali-ated to run wide again, but Kevin Alexander stopped the Maroons short. The ball was

turned over on the 40 and Brayden McCarthy picked up the ball from a ruck to score, 17-12 for SAS. With only sec-onds left in the game, the Maroons made an-other long run to just barely score in the cor-ner, making it a 17-17 final.

Final gameOn May 7 the SAS

Senior Boys Rugby team had a great victory over Rutland Second-ary for the first round of playoffs winning, 31 - 17. Then just two days later, for the next round vs Mount Boucherie, they lost 14 to 5. A great season overall.

B.C.’s bestSalmon Arm defenceman Hailey Haskell moves a player away from the zone during a practice Friday as part of the BC Hockey’s Female Under 18 BC Cup at the Shaw Centre. Selected players will go to the U18 Provincial Camp.

The Salmon Arm Secondary Senior Jew-els soccer team showed grit and determination in their playoff game May 8 against Rutland.

Down 1-0 with less than five minutes to go, Maddie Trueman dribbled through three defenders only to be taken down in the 18- yard box. On the ensu-ing penalty shot, Katie Harding coolly stepped up to tie the game. The game went to overtime

where the girls contin-ued applying pressure with some great oppor-tunities.

Cassie Gunn made a great zig-zag move to cause her defender to foul her. The pen-alty shot was once again scored by Ka-tie Harding. The final goal came after a mad scramble in front of the net with Maddie Trueman finding the net. The girls take on Mt. Boucherie in the

Okanagan semifinals.

Ted takes NOUIt was a hard-fought

battle on a hot Tues-day night with Salmon Arm’s Ted United vs Vernon’s NOU.

Using her amazing speed, United’s Cathy Bartch opened up the scoring of the game. Sue Doray quickly fol-lowed with one of her own. NOU answered back with two to tie it

up. Once again United’s goalie, Linda Yawney was a force to be reck-oned with, coming out aggressively when needed. NOU’s scor-ing attempts were shut down time and time again by United’s solid defending. Doray found the back of the net one more time in the second half. Bartch finished off the game scoring two more giving her a hat trick. Final score was 5-3 for Ted United.

Sip and stroll in royal shoesSip a “cuppa” and stroll in the shoes of the

Duchess of Bedford (1783-1857) as R.J Haney Heritage Village hosts the fourth annual High Tea from 1 to 3 p.m. Sunday, May 26.

Enjoy entertainment, tea, dainty sandwiches and succulent treats in the beautiful village gar-dens.

Award-winning comedienne/actor Christine Pilgrim will entertain by playing the role of a prominent member of the Royal Family.

Pilgrim is best known in theatre for her role in Lock Up Your Daughters which led to a com-mand performance for Queen Elizabeth II, Prince Philip, Princess Margaret and David (Viscount) Linley.

Listen to music from popular local musician Peter Clark, who performs a unique blend of beautiful melodies with stringed instruments and compelling rhythms.

Author of the newly released children’s book, Celesta’s Magical Journey, Gordon Allen will share stories uncovered from the Ernie Doe Ar-chives Room. Allen spent 27 years on the Toronto police force before debuting his new career as a

children’s novelist.The Shuswap School of Ballet will perform tra-

ditional ballet numbers. Ballet originates from the 16th and 17th century French courts. This preci-sion form of dance requires extreme dedication to the art and diligent practice.

While at High Tea, tour R.J. Haney Heritage Village and the Haney House. Over the past year the kitchen has been renovated and restoration has taken place on the outside of the house as well.

The house was constructed around 1910 and is a hybrid of a practical farmhouse with touches of gentility such as leaded glass windows and fancy woodwork.

Tickets for High Tea are $25 and can be pur-chased by phone at 250-832-5243 or at R.J. Haney Heritage Village and Museum located at 751 – Highway 97 B, Crazy River Clothing Co. on Alexander Street or Touch ‘A Texas in the Mall at Piccadilly.

Seating is limited, so don’t be disappointed. Purchase your tickets early for this popular spring event. For more information, visit www.salmo-narmuseum.org or facebook.com/Haneyheritage.

Play a parade of � amboyant charactersTravel to the London

of the Charles Dickens era as King’s Christian School presents Nicho-las Nickleby.

Dickens’ third pub-lished novel, Nicholas Nickleby was an im-mediate and complete success and estab-lished Dickens’ lasting reputation.

Much of the action takes place in London, England where Dick-ens takes aim at what he perceives to be so-cial injustices.

King’s Christian dra-ma teacher Sandi Ku-tyn says she chose the play, in part, because of the number and quality of the characters.

“I have to � nd a speaking part for ev-eryone because I want everyone to have a chance to perform,” she says, noting she need-ed at least 20 speaking parts this year.

“There’s some really fun character parts – a whole cast of lovable, half-mad, deluded, � amboyant charac-ters.”

Kutyn says the play was chosen in Febru-ary and the students have been rehears-ing Nicholas Nicklebysince the middle of March.

“The kids are having a ball with some of the crazy characters with

lots of movement,” Kutyn says, noting the students have given the characters some quirks and physical character-istics of their own.

“It’s a parade of co-lourful characters – the infamous Wackford Squeers, who runs a dreadful boys school, the orphan Smike, who gets adopted by Nico-las Nickleby and the wicked Ralph Nickle-by, out to make a dollar or a pound wherever he can.”

Kutyn says a very � amboyant theatrical troupe weaves its way throughout the play as well.

Costumes are cus-

tom made for King’s Christian productions, but are re-used as much as possible.

“There’s a pair of shoes from the thrift shop that we got � ve years ago,” she says. “It’s been in every pro-duction since. They’ve been green, and yellow for Chantecleer the rooster in The Canter-bury Tales.”

Nicholas Nick-leby opens at 7 p.m. Wednesday, May 22 to Saturday May 25 at Shuswap Theatre.

Tickets are $10 for adults and $6 for chil-dren and are available at the school of� ce. Call 250-832-5200.

Festivities: Music, theatre, ballet, reading on slate.


Dubbed “the goddess of Canadian Blues,” highly acclaimed roots and blues artist Rita Chiarelli has struck again.

Home-grown from Hamilton, Ont., Chi-arelli has just been se-lected as the recipient of the 2013 Heritage Award of Distinction for Arts, Culture and Entertainment by Fes-titalia Hamilton.

Showing no signs of slowing down, Chi-arelli continues to tour in North America and Europe and is a veteran and featured artist at this year’s 21st Annual Salmon Arm Roots and Blues Festival, which runs Aug. 16 to 18.

Over the past de-cade, Chiarelli has won every major Canadian blues award, including multiple Maple Blues awards, CBCs Great Canadian Blues Award, Toronto Independent Music Awards, Ham-ilton Music Awards, Manitoba Blues So-ciety and the Hamil-ton Blues Society’s Lifetime Achievement

Awards. Most recently Chiarelli was awarded the prestigious Maple Blues ‘Blues With A Feeling Award’ for Lifetime Achievement.

As if creating beau-tiful music wasn’t enough, Chiarelli has entered the film world and has recently re-leased the soundtrack for her award-winning documentary, Music From The Big House – which is her ninth re-corded album.

Music From The Big House takes Chiarelli on a pilgrimage to the birthplace of the blues, the Angola Prison, Louisiana State’s max-imum security peniten-tiary.

This musical journey is a glance into what used to be the bloodi-est prison in America, but now gives lifers something to live for through the power of music. In contrast to sensational stories of convicts, we witness remarkable voices of hope as their love of music radiates human-ity and redemption on

their quest for forgive-ness.

Chiarelli never imag-ined that her love of the blues would lead her to a historic jailhouse per-formance with inmates serving life sentences for murder, rape and armed robbery. But their shared bond of

music, and Chiarelli’s vivacious personality draw striking revela-tions from the inmates.

To order tickets, visit www.rootsandblues.ca or call 250-833-4096. Early-bird tickets are on sale until May 31. Day tickets are not available until June 1.

The Shuswap As-sociation of Writer’s “Word on the Lake” is celebrating its 10th an-nual festival for read-ers, writers, speakers, and listeners May 24 to 26 at the Prestige Har-bourfront Resort.

Organizers are bill-ing this year as the biggest, most exciting, and widely recognized gathering of the written word in the Interior of B.C.

Following sugges-tions of past attendees, organizers came up with a list of present-ers in different areas of writing and publishing. For example, instead of securing the 12 to 14 best writers available, they lined up an edi-tor, a publisher, a script writer and actor, and lyric/music writers.

However, the list will again include writers of short stories, free-lance, humor, fantasy, and poetry, along with their staple fiction, non-fiction, adventure and romance writers.

Some of the authors featured at this year’s celebration are: George Bowering (Canada’s first poet laureate), Mike McCardell and

Kamloops’ own Garry Gottfriedson.

With 13 presenters, there will be something of interest for every-one. New this year is a theatre presentation by Lucas Myers, a play-wright and actor.

Expect a hilarious performance from him

on Saturday night. Talented local mu-

sicians, Blu and kelly Hopkins will give a presentation on writ-ing song lyrics. Being a musician is not a pre-requisite.

This year’s planning co-ordinator Mary Ny-land offers her personal observations of the fes-tival:

“I’ve read everything from Heidi to Hamlet. I’ve had adventures, gotten lost in complex plots, witnessed intense emotions, traveled to other galaxies, solved mysteries, laughed, cried, gleaned knowl-edge and answers and more from the written words of a good book,” she says acknowledg-ing how books have increased her under-standing of the human condition.

Nyland finds joy in the fact that after months of planning, she gets to hear pub-lished authors read and speak.

“I get to ask how they

put their books togeth-er, where they get their ideas and inspiration, and learn what moti-vates them to sit and write in the first place.”

Imagine sitting down to eat lunch with George Bower-ing. Imagine getting to chat with humor-ist Mike McCardell or award-winning young adult author Jacqueline Guest.

The always-popular Friday night coffee house, the in-house silent auction open to the public, the harbor cruise with the au-thors, book-signings, blue-pencil sessions for aspiring writers, an abundance of food and lively conversation with the other attendees will all be served up again this year.

There are ten $100 bursaries still available.

If you are interested in attending the festi-val, or for more infor-mation, call Nyland at 250-833-1064 or visit www.saow.ca.

Foundation seeks power for big bike

The Heart and Stroke Foundation is recruiting teams to participate in the Salmon Arm annual Big Bike event which is taking place at the Mall at Piccadilly Thursday, May 30.

Local organizations are invited to help “Take a Seat to Extend a Life” by getting a team of 29 together to ride a two-kilometre route in the com-munity on Canada’s only 30-seat bike.

“This fun, team-building event is a great op-portunity to increase employee morale and your organization’s visibility in the community and all for a good cause,” says Lianna Jansen, area coor-dinator of the Kamloops of� ce of the Heart and Stroke Foundation.

Every seven minutes a Canadian dies from heart disease or stroke, and here in B.C., someone dies from heart disease or stroke every hour.

“Events like Big Bike allow the foundation to continue funding world-class heart disease and stroke research, advocacy, and health promotion that is improving the lives of all Canadians,” says Jansen.

“We’re helping give Canadians longer, fuller, healthier lives.”

Long stretchLady Striders prep for Footsteps for the Future of Women’s Health, Sunday’s walk and run that raised some $7,000 for the Shuswap Lake Health-Care Auxilliary.

Shuswap language introduced at school

Students at Salmon Arm West Elementary are learning about the rich First Nations cul-ture.

Teachers Lucy Wil-liams and Craig Adams have begun teaching students and staff some basic Secwepemc (Shuswap) language since the end of April.

Not only does the program celebrate the language, it introduces a respected elder into the school.

Williams, an elder, and Adams, newly certified in the Sep-wepemc language, will work with all Salmon Arm West classes in 25- to 30-minute ses-sions every Friday.

Williams teaches in Chief Atahm, the Adams Lake Band language immersion school, during the rest of the week.

Kindergarten and Grade 1 students will engage in speaking and listening in group ac-tivities while Grade 2 students will be intro-duced to language and cultural characteristics of Canadian society.

Grade 3 students will use speaking to explore, express, and present ideas, informa-tion, and feelings and

in Grade 4, will learn about aboriginal cul-tures in Canada.

Grade 5 students will learn to use speak-ing to explore, express, and present a range of ideas, information and feelings.

Principal Jodi Gar-ries says the innovative program has been wel-comed by students and families alike.

“The kids are little sponges for this thing and we’re getting them at just the right time,” she says. “Language is a huge part of culture and we want it inter-spersed with daily ac-tivities.”

Garries says she is hoping the instructors will be able to accom-pany students on field trips in order to take the learning beyond the school.

Council rejects request for additional transit funds

Salmon Arm’s buses will continue to run in 2013, but whether or not they arrive on time remains to be seen.

City council has agreed to the 2013/14 annual operating agreement from BC Transit for the Shus-wap regional transit system. The agree-ment reflects a $30,000 increase in operating costs to maintain exist-ing service levels.

What council wouldn’t approve was spending $50,850 on route improvements – in particular, making the routes more effi-cient so that buses are meeting their sched-uled arrival/departure times.

“Currently, the sys-tem is running behind schedule for most routes, and this would bring them up to schedule,” explained engineering and pub-lic works director Rob Niewenhuizen.

Coun. Alan Harrison said he had no issue with the $30,000, but could not support the $50,000. While admit-tedly not a big transit user, Harrison said some of his staff do and find the bus to be on time.

Niewenhuizen said the service provider

has indicated bus driv-ers are frustrated with working behind sched-ule, and that the delays are attributed in part to having to load bikes and wheelchairs.

“They’re saying they

need some additional hours, almost 1,180 hours over the year, and the municipal share for that is the $50,850,” said Niewenhuizen.

Both Harrison and Coun. Debbie Cannon

expressed frustration with BC Transit senior regional transit manag-er Steve Harvard, who council had met with and had yet to reply to questions about the in-crease.

“Has anyone out there heard from peo-ple who take the bus that it’s not on time? Because the one thing I’ve heard, the people who want to take it lat-er at night, that’s where

they have issue with our system, because it shuts down early,” said Cannon.

At the suggestion of city staff, council agreed to remove the $50,850 from the city’s

transit budget and put it back into a transit reserve, with the ex-pectation BC Transit would be wanting a meeting in the near fu-ture.
