A3From the heart #Saro Stevens wows the audi-ence during a cameo perfor-mance with the Stevens family Band at Pioneer Day held Sunday at R. J. Haney Heritage Village.
Federated sale will retain jobsIt isn’t bringing the saw-
mill back, but it will keep more than 300 jobs.
Federated Co-operatives Limited has offi cially an-nounced it has entered into an agreement to sell its For-est Products Division assets and operations at Canoe to Gorman Bros. Lumber Ltd. of Westbank.
The advantages, according to those involved are: Feder-ated Co-operatives Limited gets to divest itself of its forest products company, Gorman Bros. Lumber Ltd. can enhance its wood sup-ply, and the more than 300 people employed by Feder-ated’s Canoe operation get to keep their jobs and their wages.
It will likely be another two months at least before
the transaction is fi nalized.“It’s an excellent oppor-
tunity for both Gorman and Federated Cooperatives,” said Darrell Embley, Fed-erated’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 community, they’re not in the business of shut-ting operations down. We’re
very, very pleased...”Embley said Federated
has been a good employer 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 busi-ness moving forward.”
Rick Scott, chief fi nancial
offi cer with Gorman Bros. Lumber, said Federated’s “fi bre basket” or selection of timber, as well as its lo-cation, matches well with Gorman’s operations in the Okanagan and Revelstoke.
Gorman has lumber op-erations in Westbank and Revelstoke, as well as a pole division in Lumby. It also has a reloading site in Oro-

ville, Wash. The com-pany employs about 800 people in B.C., in-cluding its logging con-tractors.
Scott says Gorman Bros. intends to retain jobs as well as maintain-ing 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 Forest Products Division has operated in Canoe since 1945.
The manufacturing facilities have a capaci-ty 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 eco-nomic conditions.
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 division – we lost the sawmill, and if we were to lose the plywood plant and the forestry operations...
“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.”

Salmon Arm resident injuredA Salmon Arm resident was one of
four people injured in a two-vehicle collision Tuesday afternoon near Si-camous.
The collision occurred June 10, about three kilometres east of Si-camous on the Trans-Canada Higway. Sicamous RCMP Sgt. Carl Vinet says an eastbound vehicle carrying two Toronto residents crossed the centre line and drove head on into a west-bound vehicle carrying the Salmon Arm resident as well as a resident of Calgary.
“It seems they had broken bones and severe bruising, but no injuries have been reported as life threaten-ing,” said Vinet. “We did call in a re-constructionist to the scene because of the seriousness of the accident, and two of the four people (one from each vehicle) had to be extricated with the assistance of highway rescue.”
The highway was temporarily re-duced to single-lane, alternating traf-fic.
Stolen vehicles foundOn Saturday, July 7, Salmon Arm
RCMP discovered a cache of stolen property in Tappen, much of it stolen from Kelowna.
Police report they located four sto-len vehicles, two stolen trailers, sev-eral stolen pieces of heavy equipment and various other items at a property in the 4100 block of Eldon Frontage Road. The majority of the items, in-cluding three of the stolen vehicles, were found to have been stolen out of Kelowna.
Four males were found on site and were detained for a short period be-fore being released. Police say the thefts are still under investigation and charges are expected.
Don’t leave dogs in vehiclesResidents are being reminded how
easy it is to be cruel to animals, and to kill them, during hot weather. RCMP responded to a call of a dog being left in a vehicle over the weekend.

Despite blistering temperatures, tourists and residents are going to have to wait a while longer before heading to the beach or out on the lake.
“We did a safety audit this morning and there are still a number of unseen hazards,” Robert Niewenhuizen, the city’s director of engineering and public works, said Wednesday.
Niewenhuizen says because the boat launch-es remain submerged, officials have no idea what kind of debris is around them. Also un-seen is the level of bac-teria present in the wa-ter. The city is not taking water samples because the beach is closed, but Niewenhuizen cautions septic fields and tanks at nearby waterfront cab-ins have likely been compromised by the flooding.
And, while he con-gratulates Kontiki beach concession owner Mari-anne Gardner, Federated Co-operatives and more than 30 volunteers who cleaned several truck-loads debris from the
main beach, he says the beach east of the con-cession has been touched.
Niewenhuizen says that while the weather is now co-operating, water levels are not dropping fast enough.
There are other haz-ards on the beach as well, including two sub-merged irrigation boxes whose lids have come off, and nails in much of the wood debris.
Earlier in the week, public works manager John Rosenberg, ex-pressed concern that the federal wharf, which has a boat launch beside it and a submerged con-crete storm outlet pipe, could easily take out a boat propeller.
“That’s a liability we’re not prepared to take,” he says, noting he hopes 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 pil-ings to prevent kids from diving from them was vandalized or stolen over the weekend.
“That’s probably $1,500 worth of vandal-ism,” he said. “It was
there Friday and gone Monday.”
In the meantime, Nie-wenhuizen says people who use the beach, docks or boat launches while they are officially closed do so at their own risk.
Staff were planning to do another safety audit this morning (Friday) at 11 to see if the beach and boat launches could be opened for the week-end. Failing that, Nie-wenhuizen suggests families cool off at the spray park in Fletcher Park.

Falkland may get the federal boot.The Federal Electoral Boundaries Commis-
sion is proposing Falkland leave the Okanagan-Shuswap riding and be put into a new riding with downtown Kelowna, Summerland, Merritt, Lo-gan Lake and Princeton.
“It’s a bit of a joke,” said René Talbot, Falk-land’s Columbia-Shuswap Regional District di-rector.
Talbot points out that his area is linked to Salmon Arm through the CSRD and its second-ary students go to school in Armstrong.
“Ninety per cent of the people shop in Vernon and they work in Vernon,” he said, adding there are no social and economic connections to the towns in the proposed Central Okanagan-Co-quihalla riding.
“It doesn’t make sense to put us in with Sum-merland and Kelowna.”
Talbot is concerned his community would not have easily accessible representation.
“Where would our MP be located? If you wanted to have a meeting with their office staff, you’d have to drive to Kelowna or where ever they are located,” he said.
Talbot will be launching a formal protest of the proposal and he is urging residents to do the same.
“The boundary should be left as it is,” he said.Other proposed changes to Okanagan-Shus-
wap would include moving the area between Blind Bay and Chase into Central Okanagan-Coquihalla and Chase into Kamloops-Thomp-son-Cariboo.
Okanagan-Shuswap — which could become known as North Okanagan-Shuswap — would see its population go from 121,062 to 112,399. The average sought for each riding is 104,763.
Canada’s electoral districts are reviewed every 10 years by independent commissions to account for shifts and growth in the population.
“It’s a challenge when you come to the rural areas of B.C.,” said Stewart Ladyman, with the Electoral Boundaries Commission and a former Vernon resident.
“There’s decreasing population in rural areas and increasing population in urban areas.”
Other factors considered when changing boundaries are communities of interest, history and geography.
Ladyman admits there may be concerns about shifting Falkland from Okanagan-Shuswap.
“We’re well aware of those types of discus-sions. We’re willing to listen to people and see if adjustments can be made,” he said.
There will be public input sessions Oct. 10 at 7 p.m. at the Kelowna Ramada Hotel and Oct. 11 at 7 p.m. at the Kamloops Convention Centre.
Those wanting to make a presentation at a hearing are asked to register by Aug. 30 at [email protected]” [email protected] or by writing to 1095 West Pender St., Suite 301, Vancouver, B.C., V6E 2M6.

Summer show giveslife to old legends
Shuswap Theatre presents Legend, a col-laboration between the theatre society and the Switzmalph Cultural Society.
Ken Thomas, grand-son of beloved late el-der 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.
Legend is about two characters – a young boy and a young girl who go on a journey.
“They’ve been cho-sen by the Old One – Kelkupki, or the Great Chief – who symbol-ize the Creator or God, because He sees po-tential in them,” says Thomas, noting the pair symbolize the youth of the world. The journey includes treasured sto-ries from Secwepemc, Plains Indians, 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, says he has always wanted to do something to appreci-ate the First Nations culture.
He says collaborating with Thomas included a lot of laughter and ready sharing of ideas. And from backstage to cast – many of whom are Thomas family mem-bers – to sets, costumes and publicity, he says work on the production has been almost seam-less.
Legend opens July 19 and run Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays at 7:30 p.m., with mati-nees on Sundays at 1:30 p.m. Tickets are $30 for a family of four, $12 for adults, $10 for seniors and $7 for students.

Here are a few things you can do to help reduce heat, and keep your transmission working longer:
1. Avoid Jackrabbit Starts — Hard acceleration cre-ates a lot of friction and heat in the transmission. Take it easy on the gas, and your transmission will live longer.
2. Help the Shift — Most of the friction and wear in the transmission takes place during the shifts. Get to know when your transmission shifts normally. Then, just before the shift, back off on the gas just a bit. That’ll reduce the load on the clutches, and eliminate much of the friction during the shift.

A slight hint of a breeze began to stir the leaves of the lilac bushes that hem my front yard as I watched a solitary dragonfly buzz in and out among the remains of their long-faded blos-soms.
My attention stayed focused the dragonfly for the longest time.
Dragonflies belong to the insect order Odonata, sub-order Anisoptera. There are two different kinds of drag-onflies in the Interior. Members of the Darner family (Aeschnidae) are large, sleek and predacious. They can grow to a length of more than 60 millime-tres, and vary in colour from olive green to black. Gomphus dragonflies (Libellulidae) are short and squat in appearance, reach just over 25 mm in length, are pale yellow to olive green in colour and are very secretive by nature. They are usually found in the shallow waters of produc-tive stillwater lakes.
Dragonfly aerial acrobats never cease to amaze me. I also find it amazing that 80 per cent of their brain is
used for vision and their two enormous eyes can see in every direction. Each eye contains some 30,000 seg-ments.
Dragonflies undergo what is referred to as an incomplete metamorphosis (life cycle), which means the egg develops into a lar-val or nymphal stage before maturing into adult form. Some nymphs can grow to reach as much as 75 mm and can live for up to four years under water before emerging as adults. Drag-onfly nymphs live among the vegetation and woody debris in the shallow-water areas of lakes and/or nutri-ent rich streams – which just so happen to be excel-lent habitat for the food the nymphs feed on, including
zooplankton, scuds, mayfly nymphs, midge larvae, damselfly nymphs and even small fish. They hunt down their prey by constantly moving through the vegeta-tion and bottom debris, or with short swimming bursts in pursuit of their next meal. Nymphs have an articulated lower jaw that can be extended to grasp and retrieve prey. They swim by taking in and expelling water out of a chamber located at the end of their abdomen.
Adult dragonflies emerge from late spring through to late summer. Mature nymphs swim and/or crawl along the lake/stream bot-tom towards the shore, where they then crawl out of the water and up onto the stems of reeds and other riparian vegetation. Aided by the warmth of the sun, a split forms along the wing case, their wings unfold, dry out, and the adult flies away to begin reproduction.
All of which brings me to the point that dragonfly nymphs can be a very pro-ductive, artificial fly pat-
tern. Whether fishing shal-low waters along the shore line, the drop-off or deeper waters just beyond the drop-off, casting a dragon-fly nymph pattern necessi-tates getting your fly down to the bottom. A sinking fly line is best, although a sink-tip line will work well in shallow waters. It is most important to retrieve your line in the same direction as the nymphs are moving. Gomphus nymphs are best imitated using a slow steady hand twist retrieve. Darner nymphs crawl much faster and will occasionally swim for short distances on their way towards shore, so a medium-slow retrieve inter-spersed with pauses and occasional quick retrieves will be most effective.
The best thing about fish-ing the bottom with drag-onfly nymph patterns is every little bump feels like it might be a hit. But don’t worry, you’ll know when a fish does strike. It will come hard, and there won’t be any time for standing/sitting around, watching the adult’s amazing aerial acrobatics.
The Federal Electoral Boundaries Commis-sion has a lot of similarities to the colonial powers who carved up Africa centuries ago. Take a pen and arbitrarily draw some lines on a map.
Obviously readjusting B.C.’s federal ridings to reflect shifts in population isn’t easy, but it’s almost like the commission didn’t even try.
If they had actually studied a map or trav-elled the area, they would realize that placing Falkland with Kelowna, Summerland, Mer-ritt, Logan Lake and Princeton is preposter-ous. Given the parameters for boundaries — communities of interest, history and geogra-phy — the commission has failed on every point.
Falkland’s bonds are with Vernon for shop-ping and employment, and Armstrong for school. It is also part of the Salmon Arm-based Columbia-Shuswap Regional District. Those are the factors the boundary commis-sioners should have considered.
Meeting with the MP could become an arduous journey if the riding office is in Kel-owna or Summerland. Countless hours on the road does not make for direct representation. One could also make the argument that the MP will never get a proper feel for their con-stituents if the riding is bigger than some European nations.
The boundary commissioners say they wants to hear from residents about the pro-posal but they haven’t made that easy. The closest public hearings will be in Kelowna and Kamloops.
If the commissioners were truly interested in doing what’s right for residents, they would pull out their pens, pull out some maps and head back to the drawing board.

MAIL BAGRe: Article in the July 6
Shuswap Market News entitled, Shuswap Lake Estates sues B.C. government, by Tim Petruk.
As a property owner in Shus-wap Lake Estates, I would like to clarify something that was mentioned in this article.
In the fifth paragraph Mr. Petruk wrote, “Shuswap Lake Estates owners entered into a contract with the B.C. Minis-try of Transportation and Infra-structure in 2009.”
I am sure that this was mere-ly an oversight, but the article should have stated “Shuswap Lake Estates Ltd.” (SLE Ltd.) when describing the lawsuit sub-mitted to the Supreme Court.
The article infers, without the clarification, that the individual property owners of Shuswap Lake Estates (SLE) are some-how connected with the golf course, lounge/restaurant and lot sales managed and owned by SLE Ltd.
If the construction of the
highway improvements were an apparent financial loss of $3.5 million to SLE Ltd., that is a disheartening situation.
However, I think the con-struction was a welcome benefit to the property owners who live here.
The removal of the Centen-nial Drive exit/entrance was a big change for all, but at the same time a necessity for safety reasons. R.S. Osborne, Blind Bay
We, the Senior Cit-izens Association at Silver Creek support the stomp in our com-munity. We feel the organizers have gone the extra mile to en-sure a safe, fun week-end for everyone.
We are serving a
pancake breakfast on Friday and Saturday, July 20 and 21 at our hall and hope that many of the people here for the stomp will support us.
We invite the com-munity at large to come out for coffee,
or breakfast if you wish, and look at the bikes – it is well worth the time and effort to see them – everything from oldies to the lat-est in wheels.
Please keep in mind that the organizers of the stomp donate
many dollars to local charities each year, and in these times of economic stress, each dollar is needed more than ever.

Sadness and accolades have marked reaction to the June 13 death of Ted Bacigalupo, long-time director of the Columbia Shuswap Regional District’s South Shuswap area, and board chair.
“Director Bacigalupo was instrumental in launching the CSRD Parks plans, which iden-tified linear greenway trails as a priority for local communi-ties,” says a June 15 Shuswap Trail Alliance release. “He also worked closely with the South Shuswap Recreational Trail So-ciety to create the Blind Bay parallel trail project, and was a tireless champion of the Shuswap Lake Integrated Planning Process (SLIPP).
Earlier this year, he was hon-oured with the 2012 Shuswap Trail Award acknowledging his outstanding contributions to the development of regional green-way trails on behalf of the di-rectors and staff of the regional district.
Shuswap Water Action Team (SWAT) president Ray Nadeau expressed his admiration for the longtime CSRD director.
“Ted was one of the most outstanding leaders our area has ever had. He worked tirelessly for the community that he loved so much, participating in almost every meeting and event in the area and beyond,” said Nadeau, describing Bacigalupo as an hon-est, no-nonsense, ‘tell-it-like it-is,’ politician with a good wit and sense of humour. “Our com-munity and our environment is a much better place today thanks to Ted and his great leadership. He has set the bar very high...”
And Shuswap Environmen-tal Action Society president Jim Cooperman, called Bacigalupo’s death a major loss to the region.
He applauded the Area C di-
rector as probably one of the hardest working regional district representatives of all time.
“He was a man of great integ-rity and a true environmentalist who cared deeply about protect-ing the health of our region,” said Cooperman, noting he cherishes the time he spent with Baciga-lupo, working on a variety of issues. “Before he became a politician, he was a member of SEAS and supported our efforts to protect wilderness and create new parks.”
Bacigalupo was first elected to the position of Electoral Area C South Shuswap director in 1999, serving for 13 years.
“It was a role he filled with tremendous dedication, putting in many hours attending as many community meetings and func-tions as possible,” says a CSRD media release. “ In addition, he championed the causes of the various commissions and com-mittees on which he served; most notably the Okanagan Regional Library Board, where he served as chair for the past five years, and the Shuswap Lake Integrated Planning Process (SLIPP)...”
Regional district vice-chair Revelstoke Mayor Dave Raven called Bacigalupo’s death a real loss, not only to his family and friends, but also to the wider community he served.
“We’re all deeply saddened. Ted was a good friend to all of
us on the board. He very proudly served his area,” said Raven. “He was a true gentleman and he taught me many lessons. He will be sadly missed and my heart goes out to his family and his many friends.”
CSRD chief administrative officer Charles Hamilton, said he, too, was deeply saddened.
“On behalf of all the staff at the CSRD, I would like to extend my heartfelt sympathies to his family and friends,” said Ham-ilton. “Ted was a great character with whom I had a wonderful working relationship. I will miss him very much indeed.”
Bacigalupo died peacefully with his family by his side and his family expressed their “heart-felt thanks,” to those who offered support through the recent chal-lenging times and shared their admiration for him, both as a friend and as a dedicated member of the local community.
“Over the past few months, he was greatly comforted by this support and also by the coming together of his immediate fam-ily,” say his children Randy, Rochelle and Jeremy.
Bacigalupo had requested that there be no service in his memo-ry. However, his family has or-ganized an informal gathering in his honour from noon to 4 p.m. Sunday, July 22 at the Blind Bay Hall, 2510 Blind Bay Rd. at the corner of Marine Drive.
Everyone is welcome to share stories and anecdotes and enjoy a slice of Ted’s favourite cake with a cup of tea or coffee.
For those who would like to see Bacigalupo’s commitment to environmental stewardship continue, the family would be pleased if you would make a contribution, in his name, to the Shuswap Community Founda-tion, either online at shuswap-foundation.ca or by mail at Box 624, 450 Lakeshore Drive NE, Salmon Arm, BC.

Awarded big scholarshipDarby Arens of Sor-
rento, daughter of Des-mond and Susan Arens, has been awarded the President’s Scholarship to attend Trinity West-ern University for the fall 2012 semester.
This prestigious scholarship is award-ed annually to the top academic students of the incoming first-year class.
Arens is a recent graduate who played se-
nior volleyball and was involved with senior band. She participated in numerous school
theatre productions and recently played multiple roles in a pro-duction of M*A*S*H. She also participated in a missions trip to Los Angeles in 2011. Her favourite subjects were art and photography. She plans to pursue an art, media and culture degree.
She will be wel-comed to campus on Sept. 1 for TWU’s O-Week. This signature
orientation program is designed to welcome new students to the campus learning en-vironment, introduce them to the local area, and connect them with other first-year students who come from around the world to study at TWU.
Trinity Western University is Canada’s premier Christian uni-versity of the arts, sci-ences, and professions.

The Columbia Shuswap Regional District 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 how to com-post,” says waste re-duction facilitator Car-men Fennell, adding that Golden residents who recently took a similar program were very positive. “We
are excited to have a program in the Shus-wap.”
The daylong pro-gram gives partici-pants in-depth infor-mation on compost-ing and recycling in a classroom-type setting and includes a hands-on component.
“The idea is to have knowledgeable people in the community who can be a community resource,” Fennell said. “This is really
an effective way to encourage people to reuse, reduce, recy-cle and re-think what they’re throwing in the landfill.”
The training is free of charge and par-ticipants will receive a free Earth Machine composter. However, participants are asked, in return, to spend 35 hours within the next two years promoting composting in some fashion.
“As long as they’re passing along that in-formation, it can be done in any number of ways,” she said. “It’s really self-directed.”
The Master Com-posting Program takes place at the CSRD board room at 781 Marine Park Drive Salmon Arm. Lunch will be provided.
For more informa-tion, contact Carmen Fennell at 250-833-5936.

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.
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 absorb-ing and memorable ex-perience.
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. For information, con-tact 250-832-6682.
Trip to India still has spaces available

A journey he de-cided to make as an at-tempt to give his father some hope is turning into a valuable lesson for himself.
It was about seven years ago when Cory Welsh’s father was of-ficially diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease, a degenerative disorder of the central nervous system.
Welsh says he has tried to help his dad since his diagnosis, but say he thinks his father is in denial about his health.
That hasn’t stopped Welsh from trying to do whatever he can to help his father come to terms with his disease, and help him live life as comfortably as he can.
For two years Welsh has been thinking about touring across Canada on bike to raise money for Parkinson’s research, but it wasn’t until September that he really began to plan it out.
Now, several months later, Welsh is already pedaling his way across the country.
When he arrived in Salmon Arm last week, Welsh had already biked his way through 10 British Colum-bia cities and earned $32,398.
Being from Ontario, the B.C. landscape has been a welcome change for Welsh, who could think of no better way of exploring it for the first time.
Welsh hopes to raise a minimum of $50,000 during his bike tour, and has arranged to do-
nate all of the money to Parkinson’s research when he reaches his fi-nal destination.
While most fund-raisers of this type donate all the money in one lump sum to a specific chapter of the group, Welsh has ar-ranged it so that every cent that comes from a specific chapter’s dis-trict, goes back to that area.
So every penny raised in the Salmon Arm area will be do-nated to the district’s Parkinson’s research chapter.
Welsh’s girlfriend Elyse Parris has come along for the ride, fol-lowing closely behind him in a van.
The pair has been staying in the homes of people who have Par-kinson’s or have been affected in some way by the disease.
This has not only saved on the cost of hotels, but it has also provided some of the
greatest lessons Welsh has learned in the seven years since his father’s diagnosis.
“When my dad was diagnosed, I didn’t re-ally know what the dis-ease was,” he says. “I knew you got tics, but that was about it.”
Through staying with families who have been in some way af-fected by the disease, Welsh has not only been able to learn about the many differ-ent forms of the dis-ease, but also different tips on how his father can live a more normal life.
“I have people tell-ing me things I can do with my dad that will help him as well as get him out,” he says.
“I actually met with one man here in Salm-on Arm whose father had Parkinson’s.”
Welsh explains how the man described what it was like for him to take care of his father, the things he learned,
the difficulties as well as the joys.
When it was men-tioned that he might be helping these families by giving them some-one to talk to, Welsh immediately denied this.
“I think they are helping me.”
Welsh was just heading into Alberta and plans to end his journey in Halifax, N.S.
It is not the distance left to travel that is worrying Welsh.
“The biking part is easy,” he says. “It is getting the word out that is hard. If people do not know that we are out there doing this, we will not be able to reach our goal.”
The public can do-nate money in two ways.
The first is in per-son as Welsh cycles through their town or city.
The second is on-line, through their web-
site at http://www.pd-cycle.com/.
Welsh also wel-comes people to fol-low along on his blog, where he writes daily summaries of his day’s adventures.
You can find his blog at http://parkin-sonscycleofhope.blog-spot.ca.

In 1912, a new post
office in what was then
called Trappers Land-
ing first used the name
Sorrento for the cancel-
lation stamp.
Early land devel-
oper James Kinghorn
had chosen the com-
munity’s name because
the area reminded him
of Sorrento, Italy. The
100th anniversary is
being celebrated this
year with a variety of
events, beginning with
“Gates Open,” a tour
of pioneer homes on
July 19th followed by
a street party on July
21st.
Many of the original
homes and buildings
in Sorrento and Notch
Hill were built by Lee
Creek homesteader
Alex McKay, includ-
ing the Walter Dunne
Home, the Coubeaux
home, and St. Mary’s
Church. McKay also
designed the origi-
nal church, while the
log work was mostly
done by Tom Foster,
who was half Black-
foot Nation and whose
half-sister was married
to another Lee Creek
pioneer and remittance
man, Harry Hopwood.
In 1986 and 1987, I
interviewed Alex Mc-
Kay’s daughter, Barba-
ra Wood, who lived at
the time in Chase. She
provided some fasci-
nating stories about the
lives of the first settlers
in this part of the Shus-
wap. Her father’s skills
as both a carpenter and
mason became well
appreciated throughout
the region, as he was
often away construct-
ing homes and build-
ings in Salmon Arm
and Kamloops, includ-
ing the CNR Station
and the Masonic Hall.
When he first worked
in Sorrento, he trav-
elled there by boat, as
there were no roads in
those early days.
The first, long-term
settler at Lee Creek
was Oliver Freeman, a
bachelor from Ontario
who arrived in 1906 by
sailing up the Thomp-
son River.
He was joined brief-
ly by his sister, Isabel,
who returned in 1910 to
homestead an adjacent
section of land with her
husband Alex.
A few years later,
Alex’s brother Bill ar-
rived with his family to
homestead the property
where the Cottonwood
Campground is now.
The last family mem-
ber to join the group
was Oliver’s father,
James, who arrived to
homestead here at the
remarkable age of 63.
Just as the old say-
ing goes, Alex was too
busy building other
people’s homes to do a
decent job on his own,
although his family
was also plagued by
calamities.
They spent their
first winter in a tent on
the beach, when Bar-
bara was a baby. He
then built a rather rug-
ged looking log home
that unfortunately
burned down in 1921.
Although he quickly
built a new house, his
youngest son Ken-
neth, was playing with
matches and burned it
down after they were
only in it for a few
weeks. Fortunately, the
house he had built for
his brother Bill was
available, which at the
time only had three
rooms. He spent years
finishing it. This house
later became known as
the Hunt Gallery and is
still there today.
Lee Creek, in those
days, was like a suburb
of Sorrento, as it was
the closest community,
accessed by boat dur-
ing most of the year
and by crossing over
the ice in the winter.
Lee Creek families
bought their supplies
in Sorrento and Blind
Bay and the children
attended school there
until they built the Lee
Creek School in 1919.
Sorrento and Blind
Bay were also where
the Lee Creek settlers
often went to attend
parties, dances and oth-
er social gatherings.
As Barbara recol-
lected, “The big “dos”
in those days were the
box socials. I remem-
ber going to one in
Sorrento once, it was
a concert as well as a
dance. In those days
there were no babysit-
ters, so people used to
take their children to
the dances. Once we
came home in a wagon
in the daylight.”
One of the social
highlights of the year
was the July 1st Sor-
rento Regatta. “Every-
one came for miles,”
remembered Barbara.
“Once I entered a la-
dies rowing race. There
were just three boats, so
we drew straws to see
who got which boat. I
came in second with
a big rowboat and the
winners had a canoe.”
The Shuswap has
certainly seen many
changes over the last
100 years. As we take
time to reflect on Sor-
rento’s anniversary, it
is also important to un-
derstand the role of the
nearby community of
Lee Creek in its devel-
opment and how small
communities were of-
ten linked together with
strong social ties. Could
it be that in those days,
before mass culture
distractions and high-
speed communication
and travel that people
had more fun and knew
each other better?

An engaging teach-
ing style that encour-
ages students to take
their studies beyond
the classroom has
earned a Salmon Arm
professor Okanagan
College’s Teaching
Excellence Award.
Dr. Melissa Munn,
who teaches in the
Sociology and Inter-
disciplinary Studies
departments at both
the Salmon Arm and
Vernon campuses, re-
ceived the award at
the College’s Employ-
ee Excellence Awards
presentation held re-
cently at the Kelowna
campus.
Okanagan Col-
lege established this
and other awards to
recognize the many
outstanding contribu-
tions employees of
all kinds make to the
development of both
the college and the
greater community.
The awards are to be
handed out annually
for a wide-range of
achievements includ-
ing innovation, schol-
arly activity and ser-
vice excellence.
Munn’s academic
interest in prisoner re-
lease resulted in her
developing the Penal
Press website, where
prison history is writ-
ten and produced by
prisoners. Students
assist in digitizing the
material and earn pub-
lication credits. Stu-
dents are also encour-
aged to take part in
community projects,
most recently the Liv-
ing Wage Campaign.
“The teaching ex-
cellence at Okanagan
College, combined
with strong ties to the
local community, is
what makes a differ-
ence for students in
Salmon Arm,” said
Okanagan College
President Jim Hamil-
ton.
Munn, who is an
internationally pub-
lished researcher, has
also been known to
incorporate popular
culture into the class-
room. She delivers
her Crime and Society
course around an en-
tire season of the TV
show The Wire.
She was just one
of many employees
honoured with an
Employee Excellence
Award.
Okanagan School
of Business professor
Dr. Kyleen Myrah,
who founded and con-
tinues to mentor stu-
dents involved in the
College-wide SIFE
Okanagan program,
received the Presi-
dent’s Award.
Church honours scholar
The First United
Church Men’s Club
annually selects a lo-
cal student for a $500
scholarship.
Matthew Dodds
was this year’s recipi-
ent.
Dodds attended
Salmon Arm First
United Church for
many years partici-
pating the youth pro-
gram. He is presently
married and living in
Kamloops.
Dodds hopes to
graduate in 2013 with
a Bachelor of Social
Work from Thomp-
son Rivers University,
and eventually obtain
his Masters in Social
Work.

For the first time in history, the Salmon Arm Sockeyes swim team narrowly defeated the Kelowna Ogopo-gos at their own swim meet.
The Sockeyes took an impressive 48 swim-mers to this Kelowna meet to contribute to this win – and whether competing in individual events or relays, the Sockeyes placed on the podium.
In division one girls, Julianne Moore earned another gold aggregate, multiple best times and broke a meet record from 1981 by .05 seconds in the 50-m breaststroke event. Eric Moore and Matthew Bushell won bronze and silver in division-one boys and, along with teammates Rowan Trow and Con-nor Levins on relays, showed these boys are a force in relays. Mary-Jane Laronde partici-pated in her first meet of the season and swam personal bests in every event, while Noel Ar-nason swam in his first meet as a Sockeye and qualified for a couple of finals.
In division two,
Keeya Corbett showed how well rounded a competitor she is, plac-ing second overall.
In division two boys, Jamie Trow added a silver aggregate for the team behind Stephen Moore, who won every event and added anoth-er record in the 50-m breaststroke.
In division three girls, Claire Hall took home the bronze aggre-gate. Ty Bushell, was the bronze aggregate winner in division three boys. Aria Izik-Dzurko continued to be a super competitor, swimming best times and placing in the top eight “A” finals in every event. Anna Konrad also showed time improvement in every event and moved up the rankings in divi-sion three.
In division four girls, Emma-Leigh Chapman took home the bronze aggregate. Division four boys had a medal sweep of the podium with Matt Cooper win-ning the bronze, Mat-thew Nesdoly the silver and Jaeden Izik-Dzurko the gold.
Division five girl, Tricia Fair, took home
the gold aggregate and broke a record in the 50-m butterfly event, while division five boy, Brayden Gilliam, also won a gold aggregate. Abbie Nesdoly had her breakthrough meet of the season; a high-light included winning a swim-off in order to gain a lane in finals for the 50-m butterfly, af-ter tying in preliminary heats. Oscar Kolotylo was an especially strong competitor in freestyle events.
In division six, Eliza-Jane Kitchen won the gold aggregate for the girls’ events while Jon Wex won the bronze aggregate for the boys. The Sockeyes hope to continue their great season in their last few meets of the year before attending regionals and provincials.

Season wraps up on high notes
With the conclusion of the Select program provincial champion-ships this past weekend and our main Shuswap Youth Soccer season a few weeks ago, after enough dry fields were found to complete the season, we look back on a lot of highs and a couple of lows.
Registration started a little later than in the past, but SYSA was very excited to intro-duce our very own on-line registration system as well as a website that Jane Barton, our SYSA administrator, could update instantly. It came in very handy later in the season with field closures and up-dates of the reschedul-ing and relocating of practices and games due to closed water- logged city fields.
Filling all of the more than 100 coach-ing positions thanks to some wonderful Shuswap volunteers, including youth aged coaches as young as 15 years old, was an amazing feat.
There were a few instances we would like to see not repeated next year, most nota-bly the few occasions
when our new younger officials were verbal-ly attacked by some thoughtless parents.
A special thank you to the Wednesday night practice teams who en-dured week after week of bad weather during their practice times.
There were amaz-ing sacrifices made by all to complete our season on just hours of notice after mother nature threw the most rain seen in the Shus-wap in many years at our city fields.
Having started up on outdoor fields up to one month behind the rest of the Okana-gan, our Development and Select teams did a great job competing with some much larger communities.
Included in these teams was a great job by our graduating Un-der 18 Girls proudly representing our com-munity in the recently completed Girls Pro-vincial Championships in Kelowna.
Thank you to Coach Ian McLellan and the now young ladies who most have been proudly representing our community for six or seven years.
A really amazing accomplishment this past weekend came from Coach David Knight and Assistant Coach Ken Kantymir and the boys on our U16 Team, who came within a couple of minutes of competing for a gold medal.
As they have done all year, the boys re-
grouped after the late one-goal loss to the eventual gold-medal winners in the round robin portion of the tournament, with two more victories to cap-ture the bronze medal in the championships played in Aldergrove.
You’ve made us all proud boys.
Another thanks to all of our wonderful volunteers and also to our amazing sponsors who assist us in try-ing to make soccer as affordable as possible
for the children of the Shuswap.
A wind-up barbe-cue was held this past weekend at the Little Mountain Field House as a small token of appreciation to these special people.
Over the next week the Shuswap Youth Soccer Association of-fice will be winding down the completed season, but keep your eyes on your emails and our website: http://shuswapsoccer.com/.

CHASE
The Trans-Canada
Highway was closed
at the foot of Mount
Boysee south of Chase
for about half an hour
Tuesday, July 10, while
fire crews cleared brush.
The clearing was in re-
sponse to a lightning-
caused fire Monday,
July 9.
Chase Fire Chief
Brent Chamberlain saw
lightning strike a tree
on the side of Mount
Boysee around 6 p.m.
Monday, which then
burst into flames.
“The terrain is too
steep for firefighting on
the ground. It was rain-
ing and windy, so I kept
an eye on the site, while
in contact with dispatch
from the Kamloops
Fire District. KFD and
the Salmon Arm For-
est District oversee this
particular location,” said
Chamberlain.
Chamberlain said
there was another call
to the Chase Fire Hall
which came in simul-
taneously from the
Blessed Sacrament
Catholic Church across
the highway from the
base of Mount Boysee.
It turned out to be
false, but one Chase
crew was sent to re-
spond, diverting vol-
unteer firefighting re-
sources.
“The flames seemed
to be out at one point
last night, but then
around midnight I no-
ticed smoke, so I called
the KFD dispatch once
again,” Chamberlain
said. “By 8:30 a.m.
Tuesday, there was a
crew up the hill, and
shortly after a helicopter
began dropping water
on the smolder.”

Highland dancing to perfection“I’ll be dancing un-
til I die.”
Fourteen-year-old
Chase resident Kylie
Schmidt, makes this
declaration when talk-
ing about recently tak-
ing first place in the 13
to 15-year-old category
of the 2012 J.L McK-
enzie Award, a pre-
mier prize handed out
by ScotDance Canada.
Schmidt’s mom Vicki
confirmed her daughter
has a hard time stand-
ing still, wherever they
go. The award comes
with a $1,000 cash
prize.
The J.L McKenzie
Award is named af-
ter James McKenzie,
a Scottish-born world
highland dance cham-
pion who toured ex-
tensively during his
performance years and
is credited with raising
the standard of dance
in Canada.
Known for his pas-
sion and dedication to
the craft, McKenzie
competed into his late
40s, and won plenty of
prizes along the way.
ScotDance Canada es-
tablished the tribute
award after he died in
1992 and bestows it
every couple of years
on three young dancers
who exhibit the level of
commitment McKen-
zie showed throughout
his career.
Schmidt has danced
since age four and is
among the most dedi-
cated of dancers, at-
tributing her success
to focus and practise.
She looks forward to
eventually becoming a
dance instructor.
A bagpipe-playing
uncle was Schmidt’s
inspiration, when, at a
young age, she heard
him play in Salmon
Arm. She saw the high-
land dancing, knew it
was what she wanted
and, about 10 years
later, after much hard
work and dedication, is
a national award win-
ner.
As part of the com-
petition, Schmidt had
to write an essay about
what dance means to
her, detailing her dance
background and knowl-
edge of McKenzie.
“My goal is to be-
come a highland dance
teacher so I can teach
other people what I
have learned from my
wonderful teachers.
I’ve had this goal since
I was five, a year af-
ter beginning lessons.
I remember hearing,
‘do what you love for
a job, because then it
won’t feel like work, it
will feel like fun.’”
Keeping the Scot-
tish culture alive is also
important to Schmidt.
She wrote in her
essay there have been
other skills learned in
parallel with her dance
experience: confi-
dence, physical fitness,
tenacity, concentration,
learning from mistakes,
and making friends
from all over.
Schmidt has learned
that hard work pays off
with the focus on one
goal at a time, and do-
ing her best always.
For the J.L. McK-
enzie competition, she
had to perform a dance
routine named after
McKenzie.
“It’s a very diffi-
cult dance because it
doesn’t always follow
the rules of normal
highland dancing,” said
Kylie of the different
arm and leg positions
in the six-step tribute
piece.
“It’s hard just hav-
ing to learn different
ways of doing things.”
For two months,
she practised the dance
moves, perfecting each
arm hold and leg posi-
tion.
“It means a lot, for
recognition, getting my
name out there,” she
said of the award.
Kylie plans to travel
to Scotland in two years
to compete against the
world’s best dancers.
The $1,000 scholarship
will help her reach this
latest goal.
# Kylie Schmidt had to dance six specific requirements, as well as write an essay about her highland dancing passion, toward winning the 2012 J.L. McKenzie Award in the 13 to 15-year-old category.

Aliens explore Chase libraryThe Chase Library
had a couple of visitors
from another planet,
who decided the best
place to learn about
nearly anything is a li-
brary. They discovered
a book opened for dis-
play, deciding it must
be of great importance:
Mother Goose Rhymes.The two muppet- like
aliens discussed how
they needed to learn
as much as they could
about earthlings.
“Jack be nimble, jack
be quick, Jack jumped
over the candlestick.
Earthlings can’t be all
that intelligent playing
with fire,” one alien told
the other.
“And they must be
lazy,” said the other
alien after reading that
Little Boy Blue was fast
asleep while his animals
ran amok.
“Hey diddle diddle,
the cat and the fiddle,
the cow jumped over
the moon. That’s it,”
said alien number one,
“We’d better get out of
here quick, earthlings
are planning to take
over the universe!”
TNRD library out-
reach resource, Ashley
Little, produced and
performed the Space Creatures Meet Moth-er Goose puppet show
on Wednesday, July 4.
She also put together a
craft session for young
library patrons, creating
alien puppets from pa-
per bags.
Little drew from
Amazingly Easy Puppet
Plays, a book by Dee
Anderson, for the play.
Two more spe-
cial events have been
planned during the sum-
mer at the Chase Li-
brary:
Weird Science and
Slime will happen
Wednesday, July 18
from 1 to 2 p.m. Alien
Invasion Masks will be
the theme for Wednes-

Shuswap Rotary Club
Since inception in 1984 the Shuswap Rotary Club has been an enthusiastic participant in the Youth Exchange program.
Youth Exchange is an of cial program of Rotary International and allows around 8000 students to exchange annually to around 60 different countries.
The most powerful force in the promotion of international understanding and peace is exposure to different cultures. The world becomes a smaller,
friendlier place when we learn that all people regardless of nationality desire the same basic things: a safe, comfortable environment that allows for a rich and satisfying life for our children and ourselves. Youth Exchange provides thousands of
young people with the opportunity to meet people from other lands and to experience their cultures. This plants the seeds for
a lifetime of international understanding.
Currently we have Michelle McCluskey our outbound who is in Turkey. Thibault Pellet our inbound from France graduated here in Salmon arm and will be returning home shortly. Derek St. Onge, our new
outbound will be spending a year in Ecuador. Visiting Salmon Arm is Martine Rejnders who was our inbound student from the Netherlands in 2004/2005. Following her year as an exchange student in
Salmon Arm Martine went on to do volunteer work in Bolivia. She worked in Cochabamba doing social work at two houses that look after street kids and orphans.

They used to be a common sight through-out British Columbia, but over the last few years the sport has lost its popularity.
Now, a new gen-eration of lumberjacks is trying to bring the sport back to life, and bring with it a younger crowd.
Celista resident, Carson Bischoff, is just one of those working towards reviving a sport that he, himself, has been an active part of since the age of seven.
Lumberjack compe-titions consists of a se-ries of multiple events, most often including hot saw competitions, springboard, and even log rolling.
It used to be much easier for people to get into the lumberjack competitions.
Bischoff explains that it is part of Cana-dian history, especially in B.C. where many people worked as lum-berjacks. People would commonly spend their days swinging an axe, working with saws, and cutting down trees.
Competing in log-ger sports was a com-mon pass-time, as it was an entertaining way to use the skills they had developed on a daily bases.
Today, however, most logging is done by machines such as bunchers and proces-sors, reducing the need for physical axe swinging as well as the amount of people who enter into logger com-
petitions.While the lumber-
jack competitions were always largely family oriented, now the fam-ily aspects seems to be a crutch holding the sport up.
“We need to keep it alive,” says Bischoff. “There used to be 22 shows in B.C. alone, but now we are now down just 6.”
Bischoff explains that it is easier for those new to the sport, to be-gin in local competi-tions.
“You are going up against other people that are new to it, or are at least around your same level.”
“In the competition circuit you are going up against the worlds greatest . That can get discouraging for some, and makes it hard for new people to really get into it.”
Bischoff believes that there needs to be more community events brought back.
“Local shows do great” he says, “maybe that is what the sports need.”
People like Janice Burns have bee actively trying to bring logger sports to Universities as well. The University of British Columbia is just one school that has adapted the sport so far, and while they do not compete against other schools, it could be something to shoot for in the future.
CANLOG, an orga-nization that actively tries to promote logger sports throughout Can-ada.
Bischoff says that
if they can get more people in at the lower levels, it could ensure a
longer lifespan for the sport.
As far as the cost of
competing in the sport, Bischoff says that it is actually very mini-
mal. There is not much gear needed to compete and what is required is
usually passed down throughout those in the sport.
“We will often lend equipment, there is no need to go out and buy fancy gear, you just don’t need it,” he says. “It is like a family, al-most everyone gets along.”
In another attempt to bring logger sports to smaller communities, STIHL is hosting their National competition in Chase on Saturday.
Bischoff is excited about this event and in-vites the public to come down and watch.
The event runs from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m, with the main show sched-uled for noon.
Lumberjacks test their skills on Saturday
