It may be July, but snow

is the word that rever-

berates through Dina

Loeb’s head.

Her father, Jack Johnson,

died in Bastion Place Jan. 12

and Dina and her husband,

Bruce, believe his death was, at

least in part, a result of “snow-

ing” with the prescription

medication Seroquel, or Que-

tiapine, as it is also known.

Snowing is a colloquial term

for sedating an individual so

they are no longer intrusive or

distracting in their behaviour

or the sounds they make.

Seroquel is an anti-psychot-

ic drug, whose use has been

banned in the U.S. and for

which Health Canada issued

a risk communication in 2005,

advising health care profes-

sionals of the risk of giving

the drug to elderly patients

with dementia and has since

required that all manufactur-

ers of anti-psychotic drugs in-

clude warnings in their prod-

uct monographs.

Yet Johnson, who was diag-

nosed with dementia in 2003,

was prescribed Seroquel in

April 2011.

The Loebs maintain Bastion

Place and Interior Health offi -

cials have failed to respond ad-

equately to their concerns and

believe Johnson was inappro-

priately and over-medicated.

Dissatisfi ed by answers they

have so far received from Bas-

tion Place and Interior Health,

the Loebs wrote a letter to the

Ministry of Health on April 12

but were referred back to Inte-

rior Health.

Deborah Smith, residential

health services administrator

for Interior Health West, says

the health authority takes the

issue of medication very seri-

ously.

“All medications are pre-

scribed by a physician and we

have a least-restraint policy,”

she says, noting she under-

stood the Loebs were satis-

fi ed with what they heard at a

family meeting last fall. “We

use methods that are the least

intrusive and that maintain the

dignity of the residents.”

Dina describes her father

as “the most joyful man you

could ever meet,” and says he

and her mom Florence moved

in with the Loebs in 2010.

He had never showed any

signs of violence until last

spring.

Care concerns: Dina and Bruce Loeb look at a picture of Dina’s late father, who she says was over-medicated to help

keep him compliant while he was living at Bastion Place.

Federated selling to Gorman

By those involved, it’s being described as a

win-win-win situation.

Federated Co-operatives Limited gets to

divest itself of its forest products company,

Gorman Bros. Lumber Ltd. can enhance its

wood supply, and the more than 300 people

employed by Federated’s Canoe operation get

to keep their jobs and their wages.

Although it will likely be another two months

at least before the transaction is fi nalized, Fed-

erated Co-operatives Limited has offi cially

announced it has en-

tered into an agree-

ment to sell its Forest

Products Division

assets and operations

at Canoe to Gorman

Bros. Lumber Ltd.

of Westbank.

“It’s an excellent

opportunity for both

Gorman and Feder-

ated Cooperatives,”

said Darrell Embley,

Federated’s vice-

president of forest

products, noting that Federated has wanted a

buyer who would keep the operation running.

“They (Gorman) are great for the commu-

nity, they’re not in the business of shutting op-

erations down. We’re very, very pleased...”

Embley said Federated has been a good em-

ployer over time, but the federation doesn’t

need to own a forest products company in order

to supply forest products to its membership.

“It’s probably time to have this operation in

the hands of a forest company who understands

the business moving forward.”

Rick Scott, chief fi nancial offi cer with Gor-

man Bros. Lumber, said Federated’s “fi bre bas-

ket” or selection of timber, as well as its loca-

tion, matches well with Gorman’s operations

in the Okanagan and Revelstoke.

The group took a fl ight over Sicamous Thursday after Highway 97A was closed because of concerns there could be a second debris fl ow from Sicamous Creek. It was opened by noon after a geotech-nician confi rmed there was no imminent danger.

LACHLAN LABERE/OBSERVER

Gorman has lumber

operations in West-

bank and Revelstoke,

as well as a pole divi-

sion in Lumby. It also

has a reloading site in

Oroville, Wash. The

company employs

about 800 people in

B.C., including its log-

ging contractors.

Scott says Gorman

Bros. intends to retain

jobs as well as main-

taining wages and

working conditions.

“That’s the intent.

We’re still looking ev-

erything over, but we

don’t see any reason to

change.”

He said the company

will consider further

investment if necessary

to make the plant more

effi cient.

Federated’s For-

est Products Division

has operated in Canoe

since 1945.

The manufacturing

facilities have a capac-

ity of approximately

150 million board feet

of lumber and 150

million square feet of

plywood annually. The

sawmill shut down on

Dec. 21, 2007 because

of economic condi-

tions.

Embley, meanwhile,

who’s been with the

Canoe operation for

three years, says he’s

been asked to stay on

in a similar capacity,

which he is willing to

do. He’s pleased with

how his time in Canoe

has gone so far.

“There were major

concerns here about

the future of the divi-

sion – we lost the saw-

mill, and if we were to

lose the plywood plant

and the forestry opera-

tions...

“I’m very pleased

with my involvement

over the last three years

and what we’ve been

able to achieve. It is a

very good story.”

Continued from front

When a known drug dealer took off

after spotting police early last week,

the offi cer decided not to jeopardize

anyone’s safety by going after him in

a busy parking lot.

Police, instead, decided to wait un-

til they saw his vehicle again.

And they did, says Cpl. Luiz Sar-

dhina.

Between 7 and 9 p.m. on Thursday,

July 5, police arrested a man known

to them for traffi cking cocaine. Police

report that they watched the man com-

plete a drug deal outside his vehicle.

He was arrested and cocaine, cash

and a cell phone were seized. Soon

a text came in on the phone from a

number police were familiar with.

The man, who lives in the Shuswap,

had come up from Surrey and had

stopped at a local motel.

“He texted, we texted him back and

said, ‘Yeah, we’ll meet you behind

Tim Hortons,” said Sardhina.

They met him, where he didn’t get

what he was looking for. Instead, he

was arrested on outstanding domestic

violence charges and his crack co-

caine was seized.

“What we’re fi nding is dealers are

carrying everything. A lot of crack

cocaine, powder, meth and heroin,”

Sardinha explains. “It’s a one-stop

shop for most of these guys. It’s all

dial-a-dope, no crack shacks.”

He said a lot of dealers will use two

or three cell phones at a time. And a

lot of the arrests police are making are

out-of-towners.

Overall, the arrests seem to be tak-

ing their toll. Sardinha points out that

one potential buyer was angry with

police for cleaning up the streets.

NEWS FOR ALL AGES...

Pitching in: Volunteers Danika Sholinder, Scott Linkowski, Brandy Hadley, Marianne Gardner and Cindy and Arianna Sholinder help clean up debris on Canoe Beach Saturday.

Canoe Beach remains closedA storm in the Shuswap

Monday night gave Salmon

Arm a miss.

And it looks like hot, sunny

beach weather is on tap for

the next fi ve days at least.

But, despite the current

heat wave, tourists and area

residents are going to have

to wait a while longer before

heading to the local beach.

“We’re hoping the worst-

case scenario is that we open

sometime next week, but

that’s all weather-dependent,”

said City of Salmon Arm

Public Works Manager John

Rosenberg Monday. “We’re

taking our cues from the prov-

ince and CSRD with regards

to opening our beach.”

Rosenberg offers high

praise to Marianne Gardner,

who operates Kontiki Cafe on

the beach, for her organiza-

tion of a clean-up event last

Saturday that involved more

than 30 volunteers and Feder-

ated Co-operatives.

Gardner says several truck-

loads of wood scraps, branch-

es, bark and logs were hauled

away, with the mill supplying

a three-ton truck that the vol-

unteers fi lled with debris.

“The mill, at no cost, hauled

the loads to their site through-

out the weekend and ran the

wood scraps through the chip-

per, recycling the seemingly

unusable fl otsam and jetsam,”

she said.

Volunteers fl oated the large

logs manually or by skiff to

the dock, ready for the mill’s

tug boat to tow them to the

mill Monday morning.

While he appreciates the efforts,

Rosenberg says he continues to have

concerns, including the boat launch,

which remains underwater and two

irrigation boxes whose lids have

come off.

“They’re underwater and if you

were to step in one you could break

your leg,” he said, noting a lot of the

wood debris contains nails. “The

city recognizes there are certainly

on-scene dangers. We don’t close

things lightly, there’s defi nitely rea-

sons.”

Rosenberg says other concerns in-

clude, the federal wharf, which has

a boat launch beside it and a sub-

merged concrete storm outlet pipe

that could easily take a boat propel-

ler out. “That’s a liability we’re not

prepared to take,” he says, noting

staff still hope the federal wharf that

rose off its pilings will settle back

down as the water recedes.

A roof that had been placed high

atop the pilings to prevent kids from

diving from them was vandalized or

stolen over the weekend.

“That’s probably $1,500 worth of

vandalism ,” he says. “It was there

Friday and gone Monday.”

Shuswap man jailed after crime spree

A Shuswap man was given

slightly more than a month in jail

for each of the 19 counts he plead-

ed guilty to in provincial court.

Jason Ross Cameron, 34, of

Celista, entered guilty pleas in

Salmon Arm Provincial Court on

July 3 to the 19 counts stemming

from incidents in Vernon, Salmon

Arm and Alberta, and was sen-

tenced to 21 months in jail.

Judge Edmond de Walle gave

Cameron jail time on all of the

counts, the highest being 21

months for a break-and-enter to

commit an indictable offence

charge, and ordered the counts be

served concurrently.

Cameron was given one day in

jail for a mischief charge out of

Vernon which stemmed from a

stolen truck being backed into the

front entrance of the Royal Bank

branch at The Shops at Polson

Park mall on April 9, 2011.

Cameron and another suspect

were caught by the bank’s surveil-

lance cameras. It’s believed the

pair were trying to take the facil-

ity’s ATM machine.

The truck later damaged nearby

businesses with a swinging chain

after it fl ed the scene.

Cameron was part of a group of

four people arrested near Salmon

Arm two days later after the truck

was stopped by RCMP using a

spike belt following a short chase.

Cameron’s Salmon Arm of-

fences included guilty pleas to

two counts of possession of sto-

len property over $5,000, break-

and-enter with intent to commit

an indictable offence, fl ight from

a peace offi cer and one breach of

conditions.

He also pleaded guilty to 13

counts of break-and-enter, pos-

session of stolen property and

breaches from incidents in Dray-

ton Valley, Castor, Evansburg and

Tomahawk, Alta.

By Roger KnoxBLACK PRESS

Nineteen counts: Break and enter, mischief, possession of stolen property in B.C. and Alberta.

OPINION

SALMON ARM OBSERVER

Editorial

When mitigating the effects of a natural calamity,

mistakes are bound to be made.

On the evening of June 23, when devastating debris

fl ows occurred in Sicamous’ Two Mile subdivision

and at Swansea Point, there was an immediate effort

– much of it voluntary – to evacuate affected residents

to safety.

Among those evacuated were houseboaters from out

of province who lost their vehicles and other personal

belongings in the torrent.

How they were dealt with at the evacuation centre

has since come into question, following reports from

individuals who claim they were treated unfairly, and

that no help was made available to them.

Subsequent to such stories hitting the media, com-

ment boards on Alberta websites have been ablaze

with rhetoric, painting the entire province of British

Columbia as unfriendly to, and discriminatory against

Albertans.

Such generalizations are obviously untrue, particu-

larly when it comes to Sicamous, where Albertans

aren’t just visitors, they’re essentially fellow Sicamou-

sians.

Sicamous’ mayor and the B.C. government have ac-

knowledged that mistakes were made regarding out-

of-province evacuees, and offi cials have assured that

these errors are being addressed, and those unfairly

impacted will be looked after.

Any loss suffered as a result of the incidents in Si-

camous and Swansea Point is lamentable, and cer-

tainly no one needing help should have been treated

differently than anyone else.

It is unfortunate that mistakes were made. Mistakes,

by nature, are unintentional and, unfortunately, bound

to happen when many people are suddenly pulled to-

gether in reaction to a natural disaster. People don’t

always behave well under extreme stress.

What matters now is learning from our mistakes and

making sure they don’t happen again.

And that appears to be what is happening.

Learning from very human mistakes

New low in telemarketingMarketing, like politics, can be very dirty.

Until recently, the telemarketer that raised my ire the most is

the aggressive-voiced female, who frequently leaves messages

on my answering machine. She launches into a diatribe about

how my credit rating is at stake if I don’t attend to it – fast. In a

less aggressive voice, she says there is nothing wrong with my

credit rating, but it could be even better if I push some button or

other. I don’t remember the number because, by now, I have usu-

ally slammed the phone down.

This, to me, is marketing in its lowest form.

While my credit rating is indeed fi ne now, I have over my

lifetime been in situations when things were tight, times when

creditors, who had been so willing to lend were fast to demand

immediate payment. I can remember the heart-thudding, stom-

ach-clenching humiliation of those calls.

So, even though I know I am fi nancially fi ne, these calls trigger

unpleasant memories and I can well imagine how this telemar-

keter’s call could affect someone who is under fi nancial duress.

And I have a new gripe.

I am well-aware of the risks of Internet shopping and am very

careful. I know that if I browse some sites, I will receive a spate

of emails from places I’ve never heard of, trying to sell me some-

thing. That’s OK, because they’re gone in one click of the delete

button. Unfortunately, other marketers are not so easy to shake.

I have had a couple of major department store cards for more

years than I’d like to admit, and for the most part, have had no

reason to complain. Not any more.

Sometime in March – after 9 p.m., when I was deep in a game

of Words With Friends, my phone rang. The man on the other

end identifi ed himself as a representative of one of these compa-

nies. He offered me membership in a program that would bring

me huge savings in a variety of stores.

“No thank you, I am not interested,” I told him, anxious to

return to my game.

But, he waxed poetical, promised a package of valuable cou-

pons would be coming my way and, if I wasn’t totally satisfi ed,

a phone call within 30 days would cancel my membership, with-

out charge. Stupidly, I accepted, then promptly forgot about the

call, the package and the membership. When I use this card, I im-

mediately pay the bill with my bank card, so the payment shows

up on the bill above the charges. Imagine then, my surprise to see

two month’s of charges, charges that brought back memories of

that rainy night in March and the fact the promised package had

never arrived.

A call to the company revealed that the man who sold me the

package was not a representative of the card-holding company.

“So, you don’t want us to give your name to third-party mar-

keters, you want us to take you off the list?” he asked.

Wait a minute! I don’t ever remember giving anyone permis-

sion to share my info. Getting out of the program with a full

refund was a convoluted hassle.

At least I think I got out. Next month’s bill will tell the tale.

Adding a little humour to high water woes

Swimmer’s itch now spreading

Fishing at McGuire Lake going to be missed

Western grebes are a tourist at-

traction at Salmon Arm Bay. Three

to four weeks ago you may have

heard, and seen, a chorus of west-

ern grebes just east of the band-

stand in the area which was fi lled

with tall grass and water. You may

have noticed that the grebes are not

nesting in that area now. SABNES

members monitoring the grebes’

activities counted 47 nests at that

time, and about 90 grebes. Two

days after that count, the rising lake

water levels and possibly wind, de-

stroyed all the nests. Some nests

had contained eggs.

Now, the grebes are nesting

again, and likely their nests will

survive as the lake water levels

stabilize. But, SABNES members

have seen people in kayaks and

other people-powered boats going

into the grebes’ nesting areas.

SABNES requests that everyone

ensure they are not disturbing the

nesting birds. If the birds move

away when approached, you are

too close. Please refrain from both-

ering the nesting grebes, and their

young.

Salmon Arm Bay is one of very

few places in B.C. where a western

grebe colony has success raising

families. Please help to make their

efforts successful. Mother nature

has been giving the grebes enough

challenges. They don’t need more.

Salmon Arm Bay Nature En-

hancement Society is the custodian

of the Bay and its wildlife popula-

tions for the Ministry of the Envi-

ronment and Nature Trust. Please

respect the grebes, and their nest-

ing sites.

For those who are able to keep their sense

of humour in this time of high-water troubles,

here’s something light and funny.

Top 10 Reasons to be happy about the high

water:

10. There are no campers or houseboats on

the beach in front.

9. The logs in the lake provide you with an

endless supply of fi rewood.

8. All those mooring buoys that used to ruin

your view are now underwater.

7. No more mowing the lawn.

6. You always wanted that swimming pool in

your back yard...

5. You can be sure the cat won’t run away.

4. Your patio table has now become a swim-

up bar.

3. No more of that pesky walk down to the

dock. You can tie your boat to the door handle.

2. You can take scuba lessons right in your

own yard.

1. You can fi sh from your deck.

At the June 25 council meeting I was sur-

prised at the general lack of concern regarding

health hazards with regard to the proposed lo-

cation of another cell tower in Salmon Arm.

Thank you to Ken Jamieson and Marg Ken-

tel who spoke convincingly for the need for

caution about the proliferation of more and

varied frequencies.

I was dismayed at council’s eagerness to

add to the wireless smog because children

and youth are demanding this technology. I

thought adults were duty-bound to protect our

vulnerable children in order to ensure them a

safe and worthwhile future. And news of mon-

ey from Telus for a children’s park sounded

like bribery to me.

I applaud Marg Kentel’s efforts to have the

towers located further out of town, although

the signals would be ramped up high enough

to reach our core anyway. The Telus repre-

sentative said that towers are monitored to

ensure safe levels. But when I asked about

monitoring equipment, she said she didn’t

think so; her statement was based on the com-

puter-generated projected estimate of emis-

sions. So there’s no actual monitoring, but

a “guarantee” of safety? This does not add

up for me!

I concur with the councillors question-

ing more towers in Salmon Arm when there

are areas that have no cell service along the

Trans-Canada. Towers in these “dead” areas

would be much more helpful for emergency

calls (Telus’ stated “benefi t” to our citizens).

We already have suffi cient power for cells

phones. What’s the hidden agenda?

Biological health effects (including nausea,

dizziness, headaches, sleeplessness, heart pal-

pitations, skin rashes, nerve and muscle stim-

ulation causing Parkinson-like symptoms, Al-

zheimer’s, and even cancer) have been found

at a mere 1/10,000 of Canada’s standards.

I am thoroughly convinced that we need

much more independent research before we

expose our young citizens to further electro-

magnetic radiation.

Cell phone tower should be reconsidered

I often walk around McGuire Lake and

am sorry that I will no longer see the young

people enjoying fi shing on the dock. My

son and I have hooked painted turtles in the

Okanagan, and last year my two grandchil-

dren each caught one on McGuire lake. All

were returned unharmed.

Mr. Crowley said in earlier letters, when

trout stocking was proposed, the trout

couldn’t survive in the lake. When he was

proved wrong he jumped onto the painted

turtle bandwagon.

Yes, we have to protect our wildlife, but

if a turtle is crushed by an ambulance going

to/from the hospital I don’t think it would

be reasonable to close the road to traffi c.

I believe closing McGuire Lake to fi shing

because one turtle was hooked and released

unharmed is also unreasonable.

Fishing is an excellent way to relax and

refl ect on what is going on in our busy lives.

Being in the outdoors is also good for our

health and often sociable. I have just re-

turned from Europe where millions of men,

women and children participate in catch-and

-release fi shing.

I imagine Mr. Crowley would like to put a

stop to that – what a killjoy!

It seems with all the fl ooding and high

water there is a large increase in “duck itch”

or “swimmer’s itch. I feel the public should

be aptly warned. Here is an article from BC

Health. http://www.healthlinkbc.ca/health-

fi les/hfi le52.stm

I have found that applications of water-

proof SPF 60 will help.

If bitten, then applications of Lanacane

will relieve the itch.

Plea for protection of nests


1919 Salmon Arm was pre-

paring for a mammoth peace celebration,

featuring parades, speeches, sports, a picnic,

open air concert and fi nally fi reworks. It was

to be held this Sunday at McGuire Grove

near the wharf.

Charlie Chaplin was starring in Shoulder Arms at the Rex.

1929 A tree being cut alongside

the highway to Enderby, about two miles

from town, knocked down hydro wires and

started a forest fi re. Crews worked through

the afternoon to quell the blaze.

The Observer reported there had been 45

outbreaks of forest fi res in the Shuswap area

in the preceding fi ve days.

1939 The chamber of commerce

criticized local councils for missing opportu-

nities to attract industry to Salmon Arm.

Harry Leonard was hospitalized when a

log he was sawing released and struck him

across the neck.

G.G. Edwardson was speaker at a dinner in

Sicamous businessmen called to explore the

possibilities of establishing branches of the

St. John Ambulance Association.

1949 Village and district coun-

cils were informed by B.C. Power Com-

mission offi cials no rate reductions would

be possible until the Watshan plant was in

operation.

V.J.Wood, noted artist in wood, left after 25

years residence to live on Vancouver Island.

1959 The hospital board, this

week received a $97,000 cheque from the

federal government, 75 per cent of the fed-

eral share of Salmon Arm’s new hospital.

A crowd of more then 2,000 turned out to

welcome Queen Elizabeth and Prince Phillip

who stopped for 20 minutes in Sicamous.

Among those presented to the royal pair by

Justice Minister E.D.Fulton were: Mr. and

Mrs. J.J. Carmichael., Mayor and Mrs. Vic-

tor Nancollas, Reeve and Mrs. E.C. Turner,

Enderby mayor J.B. Smith, Mr. and Mrs.

Harry Stepp.

LIFE & TIMESLIFE & TIMESBeing a good neighbour is

more than just words at First

United Church.

Thanks to a $15,000 grant

from the United Church of

Canada, $5,000 in Redi-BC

money through Community

Futures and in-kind support

from groups and individuals, the

Mary Thomas Sanctuary will

take a $50,000 leap forward.

Church funding is the result

of an idea put forward by local

church member Martha Scales

and enthusiastically endorsed

by Kay Braby.

“Meeting our Aboriginal

Neighbours Again for the First

Time – Ancient Secwepemc

Wisdom Meets Contemporary

Science” is another piece of

a puzzle Mary’s descendants

are trying to complete, says

her daughter Bonnie, who is

thrilled and emotional that her

late mother’s goal of bridging

the gap between aboriginal and

non-aboriginal people has the

backing of so many.

Other goals include

increasing awareness of the

Salmon River delta from a First

Nations perspective, including

compilation of a data base

of traditional knowledge and

known science.

GIS maps will show the

location of traditional plants,

medicines and provide a visual

and interpretive guide.

The Switzmalph Cultural

Society, BC Environmental

Farm Plan and Department

of Fisheries and Oceans

will tackle delta restoration,

incorporating Secwepemc

traditional knowledge and land-

use management.

A workshop to provide

educational and training

opportunities for community

members to learn about

Secwepemc history, culture

and values.

University of Victoria ethno-

botanist Nancy Turner, with

whom Mary worked tirelessly

on native plants, has donated

$5,000 in hours and expertise.

The Environmental Farm Plan

has promised $20,000 and the

Neskonlth Indian Band another

$5,000.

“This was

initiated by the

United Church,

but we want whole

community to

feel welcome and

take part,” says

Scales, who came

up with the idea

on a drive home

from a presbytery

meeting.

Braby and

Scales envisioned

a contribution to

the Mary Thomas

Cultural Centre, but

were enthusiastic

supporters of changing the focus

to the Secwepemc village.

“We were struggling about

how to approach the plants and

merging the cultural with the

scientifi c when Dorothy Argent

phoned and said, ‘I think this is

a wonderful opportunity,’” says

Bonnie. “I was thinking, wow,

everything has been coming

just when it’s needed.”

Bonnie says the project

takes Mary’s belief in opening

your arms and your hearts to

healing.

“My mother

spoke often about

the importance

of having that

spiritual healing

and what better

way to do that

than partner

with the church,”

she says. “It’s

amazing to have

all these people

coming together

in one project.

I wouldn’t be

surprised if it

was the fi rst of its

kind.”

On-board with

letters of support for the project

were the Shuswap Nation Tribal

Council, local bands, DFO,

the province, City of Salmon

Arm, WA:TER, Shuswap Trail

Alliance, Shuswap Tourism

and Turner.

“What really impressed

Martha and I was Bonnie and

Dorothy,” says Braby. “They

were not interested in looking

back but looking forward.”

While that may be true,

Bonnie, who says it is important

to look back at Mary’s life and

the work she did with Turner

to provide a First Nations

perspective on what the delta

should look like.

Alex Inselberg (?) is working

with Neskonlith, looking at

the delta from an ecosystem

perspective.

“I love that because it talks

about how it all fi ts together,

and that means how we are

all connected,” she says. “And

the future is documenting

the restoration that needs to

happen as well as identifying

the sanctuary and the need for

future partners.”

Argent, a dear friend to the

Thomas family and longtime

member of the Switzmalph

Cultural Society adds the

support from United Church

is also helping the eco-cultural

tourism initiative that’s going to

support jobs and employment

for the community.

“It’s going to be an eduction

centre and a tourist attraction,”

she says enthusiastically.

And there is need and room

for many volunteers.

A bag-lunch meeting will be

held at noon Sunday, July 15 in

the church hall.

Following a project, overview,

volunteers will be invited to

sign up for various tasks –

helping with restoration work,

volunteering at workshops,

technical support, traditional

knowledge and science, and

more.

The church will hold a

workshop Sept. 22 to promote

healing and understanding.

And a traditional gathering at

the Secwepemc village site will

take place for Rivers Day Sept.

30.

Bridge gets fi rmer foundation

Good neighbours: Martha Scales and Kay Braby meet with Dorothy Argent and Bonnie Thomas.

My mother spoke often about the

importance of having that spiritual healing and what better way

to do that than partner with the

church.

Dina says shortly

after her father began

taking Seroquel, he

became angry and agi-

tated.

On April 26, 2011,

Johnson was reacting

angrily to a painting

hanging on the wall at

the Loebs’ home. His

reaction to Dina’s in-

tervention was to take a

swing at her.

Because violence was

involved, the Loeb’s

911 call was answered

by police, who took

Johnson to Shuswap

Lake Hospital.

One month later on

May 26, Johnson was

transferred to Bastion

Place.

This was against the

Loebs’ wishes. The

couple, and Johnson’s

wife, Florence, wanted

him to go to another

facility but say IH told

them he needed to be

admitted to the secure

ward at Bastion be-

cause of his worsening

dementia.

“They took him to

hospital where they in-

creased his meds, then

he went to Bastion,”

says a distraught Dina.

“When he went in there,

he was still walking,

talking, dressing and

feeding himself. Within

10 days, he wasn’t do-

ing any of that.”

In early October, a

Bastion care aide re-

portedly told Dina her

dad had been “snowed”

because he had urinated

in a corner.

“It’s the fi rst time I

heard the term and she

(care aide) told me,

‘when they’re agitated,

we give them more

medication. Your dad

peed in the corner so

we snowed him.’”

Dina says a nurse at

the hospital confi rmed

the term and told her it

is common practice.

Shortly before this

incident, Dina says her

mom had received a call

from Interior Health

advising a care aide

had witnessed a nurse

forcefully giving her

father medication and a

hypodermic needle had

been found in his bed.

The family was told

these incidents were

being investigated.

Doctors and a num-

ber of Bastion staff

members met with the

family, a session that in-

cluded a teleconference

link with Dina’s sister

Dyan in Edmonton.

“What was unique in

that meeting was they

admitted they were cut-

ting back on the Sero-

quel,” says Bruce.

“They said they

didn’t know anything

about ‘snowing’ and

that they were proud

to say their medicated

clientele is less than the

national average.”

Adds a tearful Dina,

“they said Dad was

quite happy, moving

around, scooting here

and there, but in reality,

he was stiff as a board,

mouth gaping, eyes

rolled back, not know-

ing anyone.”

In response to con-

cerns about the syringe

and medications being

forced on Johnson, the

Loebs were told that the

nurse was on suspen-

sion and the care aide

“was too young and too

inexperienced to have

an opinion.”

“There was no news

other than disciplin-

ary measures had been

taken, no satisfactory

explanation of what

was in it (the syringe)

or who gave it,” says

Bruce.

While Interior Health

would not speak di-

rectly to Johnson’s

case, Smith said large

syringes are sometimes

used to measure medi-

cation, which is then

transferred to a cup and

administered by mouth

to patients who have

diffi culty swallowing.

IH policy dictates

that if a patient refuses

medicine, staff does not

force the medication,

but enters the informa-

tion on the patient’s

chart so everyone is

aware of the situation.

However, Dina says

their family doctor told

them using medication

to manage patients is a

provincial policy.

Dr. Warren Bell, a

Salmon Arm physician

who was not involved

in Johnson’s care, con-

curs with this assess-

ment. He notes that

although anti-psychotic

drugs have been banned

because there has been

a small but clear-cut in-

crease in deaths among

people who take them,

he believes cost of care

is the fundamental is-

sue.

“That’s the trade-off

that is made between

increased staffi ng and

better control of patient

behaviour; you don’t

have staff, you have

higher levels of drug

use among residents,”

he says. “Staff cost a lot

more than drugs, and

staff are supported by

unions with which the

current government has

a very stormy relation-

ship, whereas drugs are

made by large corpo-

rate entities with which

the government has a

very comfortable rela-

tionship.”

Smith says staffi ng is

standardized at all IH

West sites but if a facil-

ity requires extra staff

they get it.

“If a facility has a

circumstance, they let

me know and we see

that they get what they

need,” she says. “I’m

not on the site, so very

often the approval for

the funding will come

after the fact. Each site

is aware, they put in the

care and we approve the

paperwork afterward.”

But Bell also points

to society in general and

says drugs are accepted

and used freely.

“Probably we need to

do a big re-think in the

area of psychotherapy,”

he says. “When people

point fi ngers, they tend

to point elsewhere. The

diffi culty here is that it’s

a systemic issue – no-

body’s got clean hands

and nobody is 100 per

cent guilty.”

A June 11 email to

the Observer from the

Ministry of Health indi-

cates that the province

is also taking the issue

of anti-psychotic medi-

cation seriously.

“We know anti-psy-

chotic medications are

one of many important

tools clinicians use

to help care for those

with dementia,” says

the email, and while

the province relies on

physicians to make de-

cisions based on what

is best for their patients,

the ministry conducted

a review into the use of

antipsychotic drugs in

residential care.

Recommendations

from the review are be-

ing utilized to develop

a set of “province-wide

guidelines for antipsy-

chotic drug use in resi-

dential care to ensure

clinicians have guid-

ance on how and when

to use anti-psychotic

medications.”

According to Health

Canada, anti-psychotic

medications should not

be used for anyone with

dementia.

While their 2005 risk

communication warned

of the effect of anti-psy-

chotic medications on

the elderly with demen-

tia, Health Canada con-

fi rms that, “with the ex-

ception of Risperdal, no

anti-psychotic (atypical

or typical) is approved

for use in patients with

dementia in Canada, in-

cluding Seroquel.”

Health Canada notes

the use of atypical an-

ti-psychotic drugs in

elderly patients with

dementia-related psy-

chosis is associated

with a 1.6 per cent fold

increase in death rate

in drug-treated patients

compared to those on

placebo, and that most

of the deaths “were re-

lated to heart-related

events (e.g. heart fail-

ure, sudden death).”

The Loebs have been

told Johnson’s death

was attributed to heart

failure.

Dina put in a request

in mid May for a com-

plete list of her father’s

medications. She has yet

to have a response. But

Smith says she is sur-

prised their request for

information was not

fulfi lled and suggests

the family call Bastion

or herself to pursue the

matter.

While she is uncom-

fortable speaking to

the use of medications

which are prescribed by

physicians, Smith says

considerable review has

been conducted about

their use and oversight

at Bastion.

The last event the

Loeb family celebrated

with Johnson was held

at Bastion Place Dec.

19, Jack and Florence’s

59th wedding anniver-

sary.

“Unbeknownst to us,

he couldn’t swallow,

not even a sip of juice,”

says a tearful Dina, not-

ing staff called two days

before her dad’s death

to advise her he was

being taken to hospital

because he was no lon-

ger able to eat or drink

anything.

That is when she be-

gan to investigate the

side effects of Seroquel

and also, she says, when

several frontline health-

care givers asked, even

begged, her to speak up

about snowing on be-

half of others.

“There’s people in

there who are caring,

compassionate care pro-

viders and those who

have no compassion

and lack love in their

hearts,” says Bruce.

“I would like them to

clean up their act, to

take some responsibil-

ity for their actions and

step down on people if

they have to.”

After months of ne-

gotiations, a goal for a

better future has been

established.

Members of each

First Nation in School

District #83, as well as

representatives from the

district’s school board,

were present on July 3

for the offi cial signing

of the Local Education

Agreement contract.

Although there were

rocky points in the pro-

cess, those involved

were satisfi ed with the

result.

“That kind of effort

is unique,” says Dave

Witt, superintendent of

schools.

Chief Nelson Leon of

the Adams Lake Indian

Band, remarked: “It was

a matter of taking con-

trol. In the past we have

not had a great relation;

this program has helped

us turn that around and

build a good, successful

relationship.”

The education agree-

ment is traditionally

made between school

districts, all local First

Nations communities

and the Ministry of Ed-

ucation. The program

was formed to help in-

crease the number of

native students who

successfully graduate

high school, as well as

provide better quality

learning about the cul-

tures of local bands.

The main goal for

the new agreement was

to design a way to not

only increase the rates

of First Nations stu-

dents who receive their

high school certifi cate,

but to also help more

students earn their Dog-

wood certifi cate.

Consensus on the new

agreement was achieved

on June 28, establishing

the changes and goals to

be adapted and worked

towards over the next

fi ve years.

One band represen-

tative stated that in the

future, he would like

to see more history on

residential schools be-

ing integrated into the

school’s regular cur-

riculum.

Tammy Thomas, who

represented the Neskon-

lith band during the con-

tract signing, said, “It

has been great to work

as a team. It showed us

some challenges, but

ultimately we came out

on top.”

The contracts are re-

newed every fi ve years.

Happy to have teachers contract

Goals established: Members of the Neskonlith, Splatsin, Little Shuswap and Adams Lake bands and School District #83 school board trustees, sign the new Aboriginal Edu-cation Enhancement Agreement on July 3.

Local school trustees are among

those who raised their hands for a

new pact with teachers.

Both the North Okanagan-Shus-

wap and Vernon school boards were

among those who voted for a two-

year contract with teachers.

School District #83 board chair

Bobbi Johnson, Salmon Arm chair-

person, said she is glad they were

able achieve a new contract, though

she wouldn’t say if she is satisfi ed

with what was ultimately decided

upon.

“This is what we got, and this is

what we will work with,” said John-

son. “Both sides probably wanted

something more, but we negotiated

this, and we are just happy to have

a contract.”

There was no discussion on extra-

curricular activities in schools when

districts voted last Wednesday.

Johnson says all extra-curricular

activities remain in control of the in-

dividual teacher.

The school board does not have

the ability to force teachers to vol-

unteer their time, she says. This

does not necessarily mean there will

be no after-school soccer games or

band classes for students. If teachers

would like to donate their time, they

are permitted to do so.

As for next year, Johnson says all

other activities will return to normal

and, come September, teachers will

be meeting with parents and send-

ing out report cards as they normally

would.

The district chair described the

entire contract agreement process as

being “very long.”

“We have to fi nd a way to do it that

doesn’t take so long,” says Johnson,

“but there are issues that need to be

solved and that takes time.”

Johnson hopes that a quicker,

more effi cient process can be estab-

lished in the future.

Bill Turanski, Vernon chairperson,

says there are other things that could

have been achieved and even more

that should be worked towards.

“We appreciate that there’s some

resolution but other issues are still

back there,” said Turanski, adding

there are a number of things still to

be negotiated.

While the agreement, which has

also been ratifi ed by teachers, dealt

with issues like benefi ts, there was

no resolution on wages, class size or

class composition. Turanski expects

the next round of talks will be dif-

fi cult because the outstanding items

place fi nancial pressures on districts,

while the government is not provid-

ing any new funding. However, he

is optimistic based on the new con-

tract.

“Both parties have learned some-

thing — that we can come to an

agreement. Perhaps that will be an

incentive,” said Turanski.

Water warriors: Salmon Arm Rona’s Gary Hoult and Vernon’s Rob Frank with water the company donated to Sicamous fl ood relief efforts.

Rona helps outThe managers of Rona in Vernon and in Salm-

on Arm have something in common besides their

work.

Rob Frank of Vernon and Gary Hoult from the

Salmon Arm store drove to Sicamous two weeks

ago with 5,400 bottles and 60 fi ve-gallon jugs of

water to aid in Sicamous fl ood relief efforts.

Members of the Red Cross team, who welcomed

the donation, accepted the water at the reception

centre, where displaced fl ood victims were sent.

“The fi re chief, Mike Melnichuk, and the Red

Cross team were very grateful to Rona for being

able to contribute,” says Frank. “They couldn’t

thank us enough.”

The Calgary Food Bank sent 15 pallets of food

to Sicamous, delivered by the Calgary fi rm of

Light Speed Logistics.

Jonathan Avis has

spent many years study-

ing late into the night,

and even more hours

working and volunteer-

ing in the legal fi eld.

For Avis, all his hard

work has fi nally paid

off.

Salmon Arm’s new-

est addition to its legal

community was hon-

oured July 4, during a

call to the bar ceremony

held at the Salmon Arm

Law Courts.

The event was an

honour in itself.

The traditional cer-

emony is normally held

in Vancouver and Victo-

ria with a large group of

people, and very rarely

in smaller communities

for a single person.

Not even retired judge

Ted Brecknell can recall

the last time a ceremony

of this type was held in

Salmon Arm, or if it

ever was.

Thirty-three year-

old Avis studied at

Malaspina Univer-

sity College, where he

achieved his bachelor

of arts with distinction

in political science and

philosophy in 2007.

Avis continued his

university career by at-

tending the law program

at the University of Brit-

ish Columbia.

He began working for

Verdurmen & Company

Law Corporation for

the summer of 2010 as

a second-year law stu-

dent as part of the Rural

Education and Access

to Lawyers program.

This program helps

to provide funding to

companies, allowing

students like Avis to

gain needed experience,

while offering legal ser-

vices to rural areas that

otherwise may have in-

suffi cient means.

Avis was later asked

to return article with the

fi rm – another step in

becoming a lawyer.

Avis has since ac-

cepted an invitation to

work with Verdurmen

& Company as a full-

time lawyer.

The large amount of

time Avis has invested in

Salmon Arm is largely

what led to the request

that his call to the bar

ceremony be held here

as well.

The ceremony itself

was simple, but it’s sig-

nifi cance and meaning

were clear.

Dressed in formal

garb, a group of lawyers

and judges were pre-

sented, as well as many

of Avis’ closest support-

ers.

Avis was required to

take an oath, one which

lawyer Ken Walker, the

area’s elected “bench-

er,” advised spectators

to pay close attention

to.

The oath reminded

Avis that becoming a

lawyer brings with it a

new kind of power and

many challenges.

But if he makes the

correct decisions he can

impact the world posi-

tively, said Walker.

Above all, Avis must

adhere to the highest

level of integrity at all

times.

As part of the cer-

emony’s tradition, Avis

was presented to Justice

Joel Groves, a Supreme

Court judge.

He bestowed some of

his own advice on Avis.

“You should be proud

of our system and what

it stands for,” said

Groves. “You should do

whatever you can to ad-

vance it.”

He reminded Avis

that from now on, he

will be subjected to

“unrelenting scrutiny by

public and media,” and

that he should endlessly

work towards obtaining

the “ability to disagree

without being disagree-

able.”

Groves advised Avis

that he will not always

know the answers, but

encouraged him to ask

questions and seek ad-

vice from others in the

profession.

The judge told Avis

to do what he can to live

a healthy life and, more

importantly, “be proud

of yourself. You deserve

it.”

A Shuswap Lake

Hospital team has won

an award for thinking

fast.

FAST is an acronym

for face, arms, speech

and time in terms of

recognizing and treat-

ing strokes.

It signifi es a series of

symptoms health-care

providers have been

trained to look for and

address as quickly as

possible.

“Does the face look

uneven? Simply ask

someone to smile.

Does one arm drift

down? Ask them to

raise both arms. Does

their speech sound fun-

ny? Ask them to say

‘You can’t teach an old

dogs new tricks,’” says

Dorothy Crandall, pa-

tient care co-ordinator

for critical care, who

has taken on the role

of co-ordinating a new

stroke initiative.

T is for time, to just

be aware of the time,

because time is the

brain and you need to

get help as close to the

onset as possible,” she

says.

Shuswap Lake Hos-

pital has been part of

a provincial initiative

on stroke care since its

inception last Septem-

ber.

Communities from

every health author-

ity have been involved

with the goal of bring-

ing people together

and making them more

aware – and sharing

the information.

“We work in our own

sites but share with all

members of the initia-

tive in order to bring

great care to all Brit-

ish Columbians,” says

Crandall. “Our team is

a physician, two nurse

educators and two

RNs.”

Each fi ve-person

team belongs to a pro-

vincial collaborative,

with teams looking at

how improvements can

be made at their own

sites then sharing the

results with the other

teams.

“In Shuswap Lake,

we identifi ed a need

for a quick-trigger

system in triage,” says

Crandall, noting a

large poster describing

the symptoms of stroke

hangs on a wall in the

triage section of the

emergency ward.

There are two types

of strokes and discern-

ing which is which is

essential to the kind of

treatment a person re-

ceives.

Clot-busting drugs

can save lives and re-

duce damage to peo-

ple with thrombolytic

strokes, but only within

a few hours of the ini-

tial onset, says Cran-

dall.

In order to give

stroke victims the best

care possible, Crandall

says family members

are encouraged to go

to the hospital with the

patient in order to pro-

vide information about

when the person ap-

peared to be normal.

“The information

can change when stress

is reduced,” says Cran-

dall, noting that people

in crisis may call 911

and in their panic, for-

get to provide a critical

piece of information

– something that may

come to them once

their loved one is in

care.

As well as training

a team of stroke-savvy

nurses in triage, the

team is taking stroke

education to other

fl oors in the form of

moveable boards con-

taining vital informa-

tion – information that

is also being provided

to local doctors’ of-

fi ces.

“We’re trying to

make the public aware

so they know the

symptoms, for them-

selves and for anyone

else they may be with,”

says Crandall.

These include:

• Weakness – a sud-

den loss of strength or

feeling in the face, arm

or leg, even if it’s tem-

porary.

• Sudden trouble

speaking or under-

standing, or confusion,

even if it’s temporary

• Sudden trouble

with vision, even if it’s

temporary.

• Sudden severe and

unusual headache.

• Sudden loss of bal-

ance – especially with

any of the above symp-

toms.

• Dizziness

“When we live in

rural areas, it’s the

challenge of getting

someone here and then

getting them to Royal

Inland,” she says.

Shuswap patients,

who can benefi t from

the treatment, are sent

to Kamloops where the

clot-busting drugs are

administered under the

direction of a neurolo-

gist, something Salm-

on Arm does not have

at this time.

Equally important is

the need for special-

ized care following

administration of the

drug, says Crandall.

Crandall would also

like to get the word

out that Royal Inland

Hospital operates a

Transient Ischemic At-

tack (TIA) clinic for

people who have “mini

strokes” that resolve

themselves.

People who have

had a TIA can go to the

clinic for assessment in

terms of risks for a full-

blown stroke and how

to avoid having one.

Crandall says the

team has received a lot

of positive feedback –

including a provincial

award for making the

most signifi cant im-

provement of all par-

ticipating teams.

“We work hard and

we’ve done a lot of

staff education,” she

says, emphasizing

again, “from attack to

treatment it’s how to

get the best care as fast

as possible.”

HEALTHY BITES

Suggestions for healthy barbecue meals

Summer has arrived

and for many people

this means barbecue

season. Barbecuing is

easy, tasty and does not

heat up your house. Un-

fortunately, eating too

many barbecued meats

may have some health

risks. Grilling protein

foods such as meat and

fi sh creates two kinds of

chemical compounds

that may contribute to

cancer: heterocyclic

amines (HCAs) and

polycyclic aromatic hy-

drocarbons (PAHs).

HCAs are created in

meat when it’s cooked

at a high tempera-

ture. While frying and

broiling produce these

chemicals as well,

charred barbecued

meat contains the most

HCAs. The second type

of compound, PAHs,

are formed when juices

from the meat drip onto

the hot coals and cre-

ate smoke. This smoke

contains carcinogens,

which can then be de-

posited onto the surface

of meat.

In animal studies,

both HCAs and PAHs

have been shown to

cause cancer in organs

including the stomach,

colon, liver and skin.

There are also some

observational studies in

humans showing a link

between consuming a

lot of grilled and well-

done meats with cancer.

I know what you

are thinking… what

doesn’t cause cancer

these days?

Likely, the small can-

cer risk associated with

grilling meat doesn’t

mean you need to forgo

hamburgers, hot dogs

and steaks altogether,

but like all good things,

eat in moderation. You

may also want to con-

sider the following tips:

• Clean your grill be-

fore cooking – this will

remove any charred de-

bris that could stick to

your food.

• Cut off and discard

badly charred pieces of

meat.

• Precook meat slight-

ly (such as microwav-

ing them for a minute)

before grilling – this

reduces the amount of

time the food is on the

grill and allows some of

the juices to drain, de-

creasing PAHs.

• Marinate your meat

– acids such as vinegar

or lemon act as shield,

preventing PAHs from

sticking. However sug-

ary marinades, such as

barbecue sauce, should

only be added during

the last minute or two

as they encourage char-

ring.

• Grill vegetables or

fruits instead of meat –

plant foods don’t create

carcinogens when they

char.

Spaces remain for India trip

While crowds of

Shuswap moviegoers

were attending sold out

showings of The Best Exotic Marigold Ho-tel and imagining their

own adventure in India,

a group of Salmon Arm

students were contem-

plating their own jour-

ney to that Asian desti-

nation.

On Dec 16, Salmon

Arm Secondary stu-

dents are embarking

on the school district’s

third fi eld trip to India.

Over 19 days, they will

cover the north of India

from west to east, from

camel trekking in Raj-

asthan’s Thar Desert to

a dawn boat ride on the

Ganges, to the ancient

Sun Temple of Konark.

As in the movie, there

will be many exotic mo-

ments, but this is not a

trip designed for ease or

for the average tourist.

It’s a back-packer styled

adventure during which

the participants will stay

in budget lodging and

travel in a second-class

sleeper on the train.

Volunteering at

Mother Teresa’s Home

For The Dying in Cal-

cutta and visiting lepers

in Varanasi are among

the many physical and

emotional challenges to

be encountered. Over-

all, the trip is an ab-

sorbing and memorable

experience that lasts a

lifetime.

There are currently

three spaces left open

for adults. The cost is

$3,600, which can be

spread over fi ve install-

ments. This covers air,

train, lodging, food and

every expense in India.

tact 250-832-6682.

LIFESTYLES • ENTERTAINMENT

After four days of

soccer against tough

competition in high

temperatures, all the

effort paid off.

The Shuswap FC

U16 boys came home

with bronze medals

from the 2012 BC Soc-

cer B Cup Provincial

Championships in Al-

dergrove.

From July 5 to 8, the

local boys won three

games and lost one,

with the loss to the

eventual gold medal

winner, GAC Extreme

from Surrey. That game

was a heartbreaker for

the local squad, with

the teams tied at 1-1

up until the fi nal two

minutes. Shuswap

dominated possession

in the second half of

the game, frustrating

GAC, but a bullet of a

free kick just outside

the 18-yard box gave

the Extreme a 2-1 win.

In other games, the

Selects defeated the

Terrace Kermodies

2-0, the hometown

Aldergrove Vipers

2-1 and, in the bronze

medal game, the Nel-

son Selects 1-0.

Coach Dave Knight

was extremely proud

of the team’s perfor-

mance.

“We worked hard all

year at our possession

game and it really paid

off. The boys came to

the tournament with the

right attitude, knowing

what our game plan

was and executing it as

best we could.”

Assistant coach is

Ken Kantymir and

team members are:

Chad Baker, Westlee

Bischoff, Eric Brock,

Nick Chesney, keeper

Morgan Crandlemire,

Quinton Fahlman,

Zach Friedenberger,

Micah Gunn, Nathan

Hawe, Lachlan Hicks,

Jacob New, Nate Kan-

tymir, Adam Luch-

kanych, Kyle Nichol-

son, Shea Smith and

Dylan Staal.

To qualify for the

Provincials, the team

took the Thompson

Okanagan league

championship.

SPORTSSelects earn bronze

Great job: U16 Shuswap Selects keeper Morgan Crandlemire receives congratulations and his bronze medal in Aldergrove from coach Dave Knight and assistant coach Ken Kantymir.

X Games: Chantelle Bykerk, on right, stands on the winners’ podium in Los Angeles after earning her bronze medal.

Extreme champion

This time last year, the idea of

attending the X Games was just a

dream.

Now, just one year later, Chantelle

Bykerk has returned home with a

bronze metal.

Bykerk, 20, has been competing

in various forms of motocross races

since she was 13. For her, compet-

ing in the X Games has always been

the ultimate dream.

In an interview last year, Bykerk

explained that for extreme sports,

the X Games is the equivalent of the

Olympics.

Bykerk had always wanted the

chance to compete in the Games,

but she decided to make it her offi -

cial goal last year.

The young athlete was able to so-

lidify her place in the X Games En-

duro Cross race after the fi rst round

of qualifi ers held in Las Vegas. A

total of only 10 competitors were

allowed to advance to the Games,

ranging from age 15 to 40. Bykerk,

the third youngest, says that as long

as you are fast enough, you can

compete.

Enduro racing requires competi-

tors to use a variety of skills and bal-

ance to compete.

“I race off-road, enduros and en-

duro cross. Enduro Cross is defi nite-

ly the hardest, because it is the most

physical out of all three,” she says.

Bykerk comes from a racing fam-

ily. She got into the sport after going

to many of her brothers’ competi-

tions.

“My parents just decided to get

me a bike as well,” says Bykerk.

It was her boyfriend, however,

who got her into enduro racing.

“He raced in them, and I would

She has been around

the world, from Europe

to Alaska, but for now,

Salmon Arm’s Alysson

Marshall is happy to

be home with friends,

family and local sup-

porters.

Marshall has been

rigorously training all

over the world to pre-

pare herself for the

Olympic qualifi ers in

cross-country skiing.

“I just got back from

two weeks of training

in Anchorage, Alaska

with the North Amer-

ica Women’s Training

Alliance,” says Mar-

shall.

Marshall trained

steadily with a group

of women from Can-

ada, Alaska and other

U.S. states, as well as

Finland. Training in-

cluded one part dry-

land training, where

the group used roller

blades and travelled

long distances at high

speeds and alternating

intensities, as well as

glacier training, which

allowed them to ski

almost from the door

of the building where

they stayed.

While competitions

only run from Novem-

ber to March, Marshall

explained, training car-

ries on for 11 months

of the year.

“April is the only

month I kind of get

off,” she says. “I still

train, but it is not offi -

cial training. It doesn’t

last as long and it is

more fun.”

The rest of the year

Marshall has pre-set,

specially planned,

training programs

which require about

four hours a day.

“Some days it is lon-

ger, others it is shorter;

they switch it up lots.”

Marshall explains how

she will go through two

weeks of intense train-

ing with long hours,

followed by a week

with a more laid-back

style.

While Marshall’s

parents did not com-

pete, her grandparents

did. This, she says, is

part of what sparked

her interest in competi-

tive skiing.

Marshall began

competing at just four-

and-a-half years old.

She describes how her

parents loved the sport,

and made sure to take

her out every weekend.

“I just kept going.”

When asked why she

stuck with it, she says:

“I really just enjoy the

entire lifestyle. My job

is to spend time out-

side, hiking and skiing

and doing these fun

things. The opportuni-

ties and experiences it

has provided me are

amazing.”

Through competing

and training, Marshall

has travelled through

central Europe, Scan-

dinavia and across

Canada.

While she doesn’t

get to see the major cit-

ies, she gets plenty of

time to get to know the

smaller towns and the

people within them.

“I drove right through

Venice without even

stopping,” she laughs.

Marshall believes

this allows her to see

the real side of the plac-

es she is visiting, not

just the tourist’s view.

She explains, “You’ve

never experienced Italy

until you are looked af-

ter by an Italian mom

for a week.”

Like many athletes,

Marshall has dreamed

of competing in the

Olympics but admits

she set her sights on the

smaller goals fi rst.

“I was always just

trying for the next

thing, to beat the next

level, but the Olym-

pics has always been

a dream in the back of

my mind,” she says.

Marshall may soon

fi nd out if she will get

her chance to compete

in the 2014 Winter

Olympics in Russia.

“If I had really stel-

lar World Cup results,

that might be enough

to qualify me. But I am

anticipating to qualify

during the 2013 quali-

fying season.”

The offi cial require-

ments for Team Cana-

da prospects have not

yet been released.

For now, she is tak-

ing a few days to relax

with family and meet

with local supporters.

On July 5, Marshall

took part in a fundrais-

er in Salmon Arm put

on by Lakeside Insur-

ance. The event, which

featured a hot-dog bar-

becue as well a raffl e

for a number prizes

including skis and an

autographed picture of

Marshall, was put on

to help raise money

for her training and

lodging throughout the

year.

“The government

does provide some

money,” says Marshall,

“but it is not enough to

pay for everything. It is

expensive.”

The event proved to

be a success, bringing

in $2,225.

always watch him prac-

tise, so at one point I

started to practise with

him as well. Eventu-

ally I started going to

the competitions to

compete instead of just

watch.”

The track used in the

X Games is a manmade

obstacle course.

Bykerk describes

how complete trees are

laid across the track

which bikers are forced

to jump over, as well as

large boulders and other

rocks scattered around

the corners.

A concrete pool area

is built and then fi lled

with water, creating a

makeshift pond.

Bikers must make

their way across a

‘fallen’ tree trunk to get

over the body of water.

Bykerk also describes

other obstacles such

as tractor tires laid out

around the course.

Despite the many dif-

fi culties hidden within

the track, event offi cials

say on their website

that Bykerk put in an

outstanding effort, and

was defi nitely a worthy

contender.

The race was tight,

with Bykerk coming

in a close third behind

U.S. riders, Maria Fors-

berg, who came in fi rst,

and Louise Forsley, who

took second place.

The young athlete is

happy to have made it

as far as she did.

“It was so overwhelm-

ing there because there

were so many people

around. It was just an

amazing opportunity to

even compete, and then

getting bronze was just

super cool.”

Winning third auto-

matically gives Bykerk

a chance to compete in

the 2013 X Games.

Bykerk has set her

sights even higher and is

aiming for gold. How-

ever, for the time being,

her goal is to defend her

Canadian title.

Bykerk is in the mid-

dle of a Canadian series,

the winner of which

will be named national

champion.

At the fi rst compe-

tition in Vernon this

past weekend, Bykerk

came in second in the

fi rst race, followed by

an excellent win in the

second. She will be

competing in two more

races this weekend in

Blairmore, Alta.

The overall winner

of these races will de-

termine who will take

home the Western Can-

ada plate.

CAVELLE LAYES/OBSERVER



The Shuswap Swim-

ming Team sent three

swimmers to Rich-

mond this past week-

end to attend the Swim

BC AAA Provincial

Long Course Champi-

onships.

The meet was host to

43 teams from around

B.C. and the Yukon

Territory with a couple

of international swim-

mers too. This was the

fi nal provincial com-

petition of the season

with more than 650

swimmers, ranging

from those who have

attained only one AAA

provincial time stan-

dard, right up to those

swimmers competing

at the Canadian senior

national level.

The three Shus-

wap Swimming Team

swimmers raced well,

with two of the three

advancing to the fi nals,

and seven team records

falling.

On the girls side,

Bree Cooper, 14, after

being shut out of the fi -

nals at the Short Course

AAA provincials back

in March 2012, ad-

vanced to the fi nals in

both the 14-year-old

girls 50-metre freestyle

and the 100-m butterfl y

races, ending up in 8th

place in both events,

and broke team records

in both the 100-m

butterfl y and 100-m

breaststroke.

Cooper was using

this meet as a spring

board to launch her

with a bit more racing

experience as she heads

towards the Age Group

National Champion-

ships later this month.

On the boys side,

Ty Webster-Locke, 12,

was at his fi rst AAA

provincial meet, and

raced really well. He

advanced to the fi nals

in the 12-year-old boys

50-m freestyle, placing

7th and breaking the

team records in both

the 50-m and 400-m

freestyle events.

Also on the boys

side was Jake Kitchen,

18, who was at only

his third-ever long

course competition.

He swam well at the

competition, break-

ing team records in

the 100-m and 200-m

breaststroke races

(dropping an impres-

sive six seconds off of

his 200-m breaststroke

time), as well as the

100-m butterfl y.

This was the fi nal

competition of the

season for Kitchen

and Webster-Locke,

while Cooper will

be heading off to the

Swimming Canada

Age Group National

Championships taking

place from July 25-29

in Calgary.

Exceptional play for StealthThe Shuswap Girls U18

Stealth team had a strong pro-

vincial championships tourna-

ment.

Their fi rst game was against

Surrey’s CCB Elite team who

were eventually crowned cham-

pions. Though it was a tight

game and tied at half-time,

CCB picked up a goal halfway

through the second half and then

an insurance goal fi ve minutes

from full time when the Shus-

wap girls were pushing forward.

Against the Kootenay Rov-

ers, Shuswap came from behind

with a dominant second half but

the game ended in a 1-1 tie.

The game against their arch

rivals, Kelowna United, was a

very tense one that was tied at

zeroes until the referee awarded

Kelowna a penalty shot late in

the contest, which gave them a

1-0 victory.

The fi nal game was against

Cliffe Avenue United from

Burnaby. Shuswap carried the

play all game but, in the fi nal

20 minutes, Cliffe Avenue man-

aged two counter attacks to tie it

up with less than a minute left.

The game went to penalty kicks

and Cliffe Avenue came away

with the win.

Coach Ian McLellan said

Shuswap played very well

throughout the tournament and

used exceptional team play

to compete strongly in every

game.

“Most of the girls on this team

have been together since U12

and have developed into a very

tight family, and they competed

very strongly against teams from

much bigger communities,” he

said.

“These bigger clubs really had

to compete hard for any points

against us.”

Aces hold own with B.C.’s bestAfter a weekend in

Sooke at the Provin-

cial championships,

the Salmon Arm Aces

Women’s Fastpitch

team fi nished a very

respectable eighth in

the province.

In Game 1 Friday,

the Aces defeated the

Vancouver Vipers 9-1.

In a second game Fri-

day, Nanaimo Nitro

was victorious in a

12-6 contest.

On Saturday Salmon

Arm came back to de-

feat Ridge Meadows

Dynomite 18-4, with

Carlee DeBoer claim-

ing a grand slam. Next

was a tight 8-6 loss to

the Sooke Hustlers.

In the playoffs Sat-

ARTS & EVENTS

Aglass of wine and thou

could make a big dif-

ference in the lives of thousands

of children in Kenya and Ecua-

dor.

Sip wine, sample appetizers

and enjoy the music of Sandy

Cameron and Babalu in the beau-

tiful surroundings of Granite

Creek Estate Wines.

Shuswap Rotary Club is host-

ing a fundraising garden party at

the Tappen winery Sunday, July

14 to benefi t the annual Ecuador

Dental Mission and the African

Barani School Lunch Program.

Shuswap Rotary Club mem-

ber Mike Boudreau accompanied

fi ve OUC Okanagan students to

Kenya last year, where he con-

nected with local Rotary clubs

to see how area youths could be

supported.

That led him to Barani Primary

School, in the small rural village

of Kanamai, just north of Mom-

bassa where he taught Grade 8

math for two weeks.

Many of the children were not

only without lunch, they hadn’t

had breakfast, says Boudreau,

noting many were lucky to get

one meal a day.

“Seeing an emaciated child on

TV is totally different from stand-

ing face-to-face with that child,”

he says. “It is heart-wrenching

that we can be so oblivious of the

need and do little about it when

we have so much in compari-

son.”

When he departed Kana-

mai, Boudreau left $100, a sum

that fed 25 kids for more than a

month.

He shared his experience with

Shuswap Rotary and the club be-

gan feeding some 100 children

in the school that has 1,200 stu-

dents.

“Everybody in the club pitched

in $5 a week and we got dona-

tions from friends,” he says, not-

ing the club was also responsible

for restoring safe running water

to the school. “So we’re feeding

up to 200 a day now and we sent

money over for a new pump, tank

platform and water tank.”

Another Shuswap Rotary

member, dentist Gene Tymkiw

also believes in humanitarian ser-

vice and uses Rotary connections

in Ecuador to provide dental care

to those who would otherwise do

without treatment.

He and assistant Donna Cook

made their second visit to Ec-

uador in January, where they

provided necessary dental care

to hospital patients awaiting sur-

gery before heading out to area

schools.

This year, Tymkiw and Cook

treated about 200 people in the

South American country.

“We spent fi ve working days

in fi ve different schools,” says

Cook. “And we probably saw

about 40 patients in hospital be-

fore they had surgery for hips and

knees.”

Supported by Shuswap Rotary

and Rotary Clubs in Edmonton,

the team Tymkiw and Cook travel

with consists of about 55 people,

including orthopedic surgeons,

nurses, anesthetists, physicians

and dentists.

Sunday’s garden party crew

will be just as talented and devot-

ed to helping those less fortunate

but in a different way.

Well-known sax-man Sandy

Cameron and his Babalu crew in-

clude Jim Johnson on keyboard,

Jeremy Tymkiw on drums, Jer-

emy Dyck on bass and the vocals

of Adrianna Sharan, who does

the arranging for the band.

“They are unbloodybelievable,”

raves Gene. “When Sharan sings

Besame Mucho, well, like Sandy

says ‘I almost want to stop blow-

ing my horn so she’d kiss me.”

Granite Creek Estate Wines is a

family owned and operated win-

ery and vineyard whose wines

produced from 100-per cent B.C.

grapes on-site at the winery

Granite Creek Estate Wines is

located at 2302 Skimikin Road in

Tappen.

The fundraising garden party

takes place from 2 to 5 p.m. Tick-

ets are $25 and include one glass

of wine and appetizers.

Tickets are available at Gene

Tymkiw’s dental offi ce at 320

Alexander St. or call 250-832-

OTHER EVENTS:

First Nations stories

will come to life on the

Shuswap Theatre stage

next week in Legend.

The production is a

collaboration between

the theatre society and

the Switzmalph Cultur-

al Society.

Laughingly describ-

ing himself as being

typecast, Ken Thomas,

Neskonlith Band mem-

ber and grandson of

beloved late elder Mary,

will reprise his coyote

role.

It is a character adopt-

ed about a decade ago

and one that caught the

eye of longtime theatre

director and actor James

Bowlby at last year’s

River’s Day celebration

at the Mary Thomas

Sanctuary site just west

of town.

“He said let’s do a

project next year,” says

Thomas, noting he of-

ten gets requests that

don’t go much farther

than the asking. “But

James persevered, send-

ing emails all winter

and come spring, he

said I have the theatre

booked, we’re doing a

summer show.”

Legend the story is

about two characters – a

young boy and a young

girl who go on a jour-

ney.

“They’ve been cho-

sen by the Old One –

Kelkupki, or the Great

Chief – who symbolize

the Creator or God, be-

cause He sees potential

in them,” says Thomas,

noting the pair sym-

bolize the youth of the

world.

The journey includes

treasured stories from

Secwepemc, Plains In-

dians, Hopi and Aesop

Fables.

From the Hopi comes

the tale of the rainbow

warriors, those who

signify multi-cultural

peoples – races mixing

together and standing

in protection of Mother

Earth, Thomas says.

“It’s like the song

Somewhere Over the Rainbow – it’s all of

us together,” he adds.

“We tried to use a lot

of humour to not make

the message too heavy-

handed. The last thing

we want is for people to

walk away going ‘Holy,

that was preachy.’”

Bowlby, has known

39-year-old Ken since

he was in a Grade 10

production of Romeo and Juliet at JL Jackson

and saw he enjoyed act-

ing.

“I always wanted to

do something to appre-

ciate the local culture,”

he says, noting that

while natives may be

our close neighbours,

their culture is often a

world away. “It should

be appreciated and

known by us.”

Bowlby says his col-

laboration with Thomas

has included a lot of

laughter and ready shar-

ing of ideas.

“We just accepted

each other and knew

what we were wanting

to do,” he says, noting

from backstage to cast

– many of whom are

Thomas family mem-

bers – to sets, costumes

and publicity, work on

the production has been

almost seamless.

Thomas, as coyote,

will welcome the au-

dience at the offi cial

opening of this year’s

Roots and Blues Fes-

tival, which runs Aug.

17 to 19, and will intro-

duce Coyote to children

twice daily in the Kid’s

Zone.

Legend opens July 19

and will run Thursdays,

Fridays and Saturdays

at 7:30 p.m., with mati-

nees on Sundays at 1:30

p.m. There will be no

shows on the weekend

of Roots and Blues.

Tickets for Legendare $30 for a family of

four, $12 for adults, $10

for seniors and $7 for

students.

Tales that teach: Ken Thomas will bringSecwepemc legends to the stage.

This year’s festival

road trip was organized

by Bri-

gitte Hab-

erle and

Y v o n n e

Adriaans,

two in-

terns from

an inter-

na t i ona l

l e i s u r e

manage-

ment program in the

Netherlands.

Brigitte Haberle has

one more year to ob-

tain her bachelor’s de-

gree and says working

at the festival offi ce has

only confi rmed her ca-

reer choice.

“I really love the

event sector in general,

and I think music is a

great way to express

feelings and thoughts,”

she says, pointing out

she also enjoys the trust

and backing festival

organizers have shown

her and Adriaans.

“We’re in charge of

Routes and Blues; it’s

all in our hands, wow,”

she says with enthusi-

asm. “I think it’s such

a neat opportunity for

students like me to do

it here; they give you

so much responsibility,

options and freedom to

work. It’s not ‘go get

me a coffee please, go

copy this.’”

Adriaans concurs,

even though she says

the early days of the

internship, which be-

gan in March, were bit

nerve-wracking

“I have done a couple

of internships before,

but never with the same

responsibility,” she

says. “It’s cool to think

about new things.”

One of those cool,

new things the students

are working on is a

passport, a small book-

let with maps of the

Routes and Blues com-

munities, stamps and

a schedule of things

to do. Passport hold-

ers will be encouraged

to collect stamps for a

contest that involves

having the most stamps

in a book.

Also included are

descriptions of each

hike, the meal and the

music.

Music history in story and song

Rolling, rolling, roll-

ing. The Hayride keeps

on rolling.

And it’s rolling back

onto a Salmon Arm

stage this Friday with

Elvis, Hank Williams,

Patsy Cline and Roy

Orbison, as well as

songs by many of the

great country artists

such as Johnny Cash,

Jim Reeves, Ray Price

and Eddy Arnold.

The show fi lled halls

in four Alberta venues

in May with the same

great audience response

that has been given by

B.C. audiences.

“We normally don’t

do a summer show, but

you’ve been asking for

it and we’re giving it to

you,” says Hayride cre-

ator and producer Lori

Risling.

Patrick Ryley per-

forms as Hank Wil-

liams, Andrea Ander-

son as Patsy Cline and

Gil Risling as Roy Or-

bison.

Also sharing their

substantial talent are

William Brookfi eld on

double keyboard and

vocals and Mike Melni-

chuk on stand-up base

and electric guitar.

And the “cowboys”

will gather round the

fi re.

New to this, the third

version of the show, is

Adam Fitzpatrick, mak-

ing the music and the

moves of Elvis Presley.

If you liked him, and

many did, don’t miss

his performance this

week because he may

not be in show num-

ber 4 that rolls onto the

stage in the fall.

“Our Elvis from Pen-

ticton, won an Elvis

Tribute Competition in

California and that has

allowed him to com-

pete in the ‘Ultimate

Elvis’ competition in

Memphis in August,”

says Risling.

“There will be 24

other Elvis Tribute Art-

ists from around the

world vying for this

prestigious title. This is

a huge accomplishment

and we are so excited

that Adam can be a part

of our Salmon Arm

show before he heads

to Memphis.”

Known as the Cradle

of the Stars, the Louisi-

ana Hayride was estab-

lished in 1948.

It was a live show

similar to the Grand

Ole Opry and was

performed by as-yet-

unknown stars at the

Shreveport Municipal

Auditorium and broad-

cast over KWKH ra-

dio.

Risling and crew are

about to rehearse show

#4, which will premiere

in Salmon Arm with all

new material in the fall.

“We will have a new

character, which the

audience will fi nd quite

entertaining – and that’s

all I’ll say,” she laughs.

“There will be four art-

ists we haven’t featured

before and songs by the

Everly Brothers, Flatt

& Scruggs and Loretta

Lynn. And the “cow-

boys” will be back by

popular demand.”

The Louisiana Hay-

ride Show kicks off at

7:30 p.m. Friday, July

13 at the SASCU Rec

Centre. Tickets are

available at Touch’A

Texas and Wearabouts.

High on country: Patrick Ryley, Andrea Anderson, Adam Fitzpat-rick and Gil Risling will be back in the auditorium Friday.

When you have something to sell, it pays to advertise

TIME OUTARIES (March 21 - April 19): Your seemingly never-ending cycle of change and self-honesty now becomes more reflective. You’re steadily moving towards a life that feels like a genuine expression of your soul. You realize now, this isn’t just an external process, but takes place from the inside out. TAURUS (April 20 - May 20): You can sense chang-es are brewing, but it’s harder to put your finger on what it will mean for your future. You can see the light on the other side is shining dollar signs. This week, you make quick moves towards prosperity. GEMINI (May 21 - June 20): Jupiter and Mars are slowly positioning themselves to help you understand what would make you most happy, and to deliver a tangible blessing. This week, you’ll feel the hope and anticipation build in your heart. Friends help keep your momentum up. CANCER (June 21 - July 22): “Be the person you dream to be.” What if the person you wish to be is uncertain? The path to that person will move you in another direction. Relax on your demands of yourself and of the Universe. A better vision is trying to come forward now. Ask as much as you listen. LEO (July 23 - August 22): You notice finances slowly reaching a calmer pace, as expenses steady. You’ll be able to turn your attention on other things, like fun and friendship. You’re considering your life and the values you have been learning along the way. Choose an interpretation that brings peace. VIRGO (August 23 - September 22): In the coming months, you should notice an upswing in your career. No matter what your relationship to bosses or author-ity figures has been in the past, they’ll see you as a perfect match for bigger opportunities. The Universe will give you a glimpse now.

LIBRA (September 23 - October 22): Those in the throw of new love are said to be foolish. The urgency of attraction has a way of suspending rational senses. This might be your fear now, but is love not worth the risk of looking silly? You now demonstrate that you believe it’s a risk worth taking. SCORPIO (October 23 - November 21): Money is available to you from a variety of sources. Cast your net wide, asking questions along the way. You qualify for funding you’re not yet aware of. It’s your own in-security and pride that might keep you from asking. SAGITTARIUS (November 22 - December 21): As Venus went back and forth in the sky, you were asked to consider the future of a bond. Now, as she gains speed in her forward moves, you see the way to re-solve any residual uncomfortable feelings. Believe and expand your definition of love.CAPRICORN (December 22 - January 19): You might feel at a consequential junction of your life. We’re in the midst of powerful times and you feel the impulse to make adjustments. It’s part of a larger pro-cess that will move you in an overall more authentic direction. Don’t try to do it all at once.AQUARIUS (January 20 - February 18): The Her-schels were a brother sister duo, performing at small venues. In their downtime, they loved documenting the sky. Their passion led to the discovery of Uranus and a place in history. Have your day-job, but your passion is where your fortune is, especially now.PISCES (February 19 - March 20): Mercury retro-grades this week, asking you to look at a work oppor-tunity more closely. New information provides a bet-ter picture, but take a few weeks before you act. The wildest possibilities in money are more fun, but you’re also considering its practicality.

Her generosity sur-

passes many, even at a

young age.

While many people

might be preparing for

the beach, one Salmon

Arm resident is kicking

off her summer with a

big dose of generosity.

Seventeen-year-old

Carlie Earl has just fi n-

ished Grade 11, and she

has decided to celebrate

summer by shaving her

head in the name of

love.

On July 19, Earl will

be heading to BAR Sa-

lon in Salmon Arm to

donate her own hair as

well as attempt to raise

at least $500 for Locks

of Love.

Locks of Love is a

non-profi t organization

that makes wigs for

young people under the

age of 21, who suffer

from diseases that cause

hair loss, but cannot af-

ford to buy wigs.

This is not the fi rst

time Earl has made

such a generous act of

kindness.

The fi rst time she de-

cided to shave her head

was back in Grade 7 af-

ter she saw the impact

cancer had on her own

family.

“Two of my grand-

parents have had can-

cer,” said Earl. “Luck-

ily, neither of them had

to lose their hair, but it

made me realize that it

can have an effect on

anyone’s life. I know

if I had a hair loss dis-

ease I would hope that

someone would donate

their hair so I could get

a wig.”

Earl said she has been

going to see Scott Ge-

row, a stylist at BAR

Salons, since her mom

began taking her when

she was little. Gerow

was also the stylist who

shaved her hair for her

donation four years

ago.

It was because of this

that Earl decided that

Gerow should have the

honour of cutting it this

time as well.

With the help of Ge-

row, Earl has organized

a way for Salmon Arm

residents to do their part

as well.

For one day only, Ge-

row will be donating his

time to raise additional

money for Locks of

Love by providing $35

hair cuts, every cent of

which will be donated

to the charity.

Earl will be at the sa-

lon from 9 a.m. until 6

p.m. to greet and meet

with those helping her

reach her goal. Earl

also notes that no ap-

pointments are needed

throughout the day.

Anyone from the public

can simply pop in and

receive a hair cut.

At 4:30 p.m. Earl is

scheduled to get her

own head completely

shaved.

If anyone else would

like to donate their hair

to the charity, they are

more than welcome to

do so.

Earl hopes to be grad-

uating from high school

this coming year. This

means that events such

as prom, a time when

girls traditionally get

dressed up in their fi n-

est with their hair and

makeup at their best,

are set to mark the mile-

stone ahead.

Shaving her head

close to these events,

however, doesn’t seem

to bother Earl in the

least.

“Hair will grow

back,” she says.

If anyone would like

to donate money to

Earl’s cause, but will

not be able to make

it to the salon on July

19, they can drop their

money off with Gerow

at BAR Salon, located

at 171B Hudson Ave. in

Salmon Arm.

Public invited to share their hair for kidsBy Cavelle LayesOBSERVER STAFF

For the cause: Carlie Earl will shave her head for children with ill-nesses on July 19. The public is invited to BAR Salon for a haircut that day, with payment also going to the non-profi t Locks of Love.

The Columbia Shus-

wap Regional District

(CSRD) will offer a

master composting

program in Salmon

Arm on July 14.

“The program is de-

signed to train people

to teach and help other

people to compost,”

says waste reduction

facilitator Carmen

Fennell,, adding that

Golden residents who

recently took a simi-

lar program were very

positive.

The daylong pro-

gram gives participants

in-depth information

in a classroom-type

setting and includes a

hands-on component.

The training is free

and participants will

receive a free Earth

Machine composter.

However, participants

are asked, in return, to

spend 35 hours within

the next two years pro-

moting composting.

The program takes

place at the CSRD

boardroom at 781 Ma-

rine Park Dr. Lunch

will be provided.

For more informa-

tion, call Fennell at

250-833-5936.

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

A bed of many colours…Where does one start?

The gorgeous planters in the laneway overfl owing with petunias, bacopa, daisies and geraniums are a great welcome.

Alongside the home many large hostas take resi-dence. The backyard is a myriad of colour. White, red and peach roses mark the start of one bed along with lupins, lilies, and Russian sage.

Two central curved fl ower beds are planted with roses, surrounded by alyssum.

The raised beds contain huge onions, swiss chard, broccoli and potatoes.

Masses of raspberries are going to offer a bumper crop!

The trellised fence to the side of the property is bordered by lilies & climbing vines alongside a stunning pink climbing rose.

Pansies mixed with alyssum make a beautiful edg-ing for yet another bed.

The mock orange fi nishes this garden like a scrumptious dessert.
