Residents angered over dock removal

Date switch ignites protest

A tidal wave of protest has risen over the prov-ince’s plans to remove illegal docks from Shus-wap lake.

Some 300 residents from around the lake met at Quaaout lodge Monday night to discuss options.

Representing the north Shuswap chamber of commerce, dave cunliffe says semi-waterfront and waterfront owners from all areas of the lake attended.

“This was an initial meeting to see if there’s an interest to work collectively to effect some chang-es,” he said, noting his focus is on the right of semi-waterfront owners to have docks and the need to get provincial permits to make dock repairs. “It’s about our local economy and I represent members of the chamber that will definitely be affected by this.”

At issue is the removal of structures on crown land and docks belong-ing to residents who live near, but not on the water.

laying the blame on the Shuswap lake Inte-grated Planning Process (SlIPP), cunliffe says the organization’s “new direction” is threatening tourism and the economic viability of the area.

But SlIPP, a multi-stakeholder organization in-cluding all levels of government created in 2007 in response to concerns regarding the deteriora-tion of the lake, has never had enforcement power of any kind.

Pat Tobin, regional manager of compliance and enforcement of the Ministry of Forests, lands and natural Resource Operations, credits SlIPP as be-ing a very useful inventory and planning tool for understanding what’s happening on the lake and

Sicamous council will re-consider their decision to move the canada day fire-works display to August fol-lowing a red and white upris-ing at town hall.

A large crowd of people, representing all ages, ap-peared in front of the mu-nicipal civic centre Monday afternoon to protest a failed motion in council, and the ramifications it would have on local tradition.

That motion, made at coun-cil’s May 22 meeting by coun.

also expressed con-cern about the change, especially in Salmon Arm, where there are no nighttime festivities planned. Many Salmon Arm residents travel to Sicamous for their fire-works.

The change com-pelled people such as Beth Braun to bring her children to Main Street on Monday and join the chorus of pro-test.

“I think it’s not about Sicamous, I think it’s about Canada,” said Braun about the im-portance of the July 1st fireworks

“I think it’s impor-tant that we keep tradi-tion,” said 11-year-old

Amy Wiebe. Sharon Reed was

of like mind – that the Canada Day fireworks display is part of a lo-cal and national tradi-tion.

“It’s about family, it’s about country, and fireworks draw peo-ple to join together to have a good time and to have some camara-derie,” said Reed. “I know many of the peo-ple here and we take pride in Sicamous, we take pride in our coun-try. It’s important.”

With fellow council-lor Richardson by his side (Trouton was in the Lower Mainland attending the Federa-tion of Canadian Mu-nicipalities conven-tion), Rysz took some

jeers amongst the calls to put the display back to July 1st.

“OK, so that’s why we’re here, because we want to talk to you about this,” said Rysz. “There’s no doubt that with this turnout today, we as council, we have to make some serious decisions… and when we made the decision the other day, myself personally and Don as well, we felt we were making the right deci-sion on behalf of the economics of this com-munity.”

Rysz went on to say council would bring the matter back to the table. A special council meet-ing is now scheduled for Friday, June 7 at 4:30 p.m.

finding ways to restore portions of the lake to its natural condition.

But he emphasizes it is the province that has increased its focus on compliance and en-forcement through leg-islation that is among the oldest in B.C.

Tobin is very clear on two things – while waterfront property owners may have docks within regula-tions, they cannot build structures without get-ting ministry approval on anything below the “natural present boundary” or mean an-nual high water mark, which is Crown land.

And “upland prop-erty owners” (or “semi waterfront” in CSRD’s zoning bylaw) whose property is separated from the water by a road or railway have no right to have a private dock on Crown Land.

Marcin Pachcin-ski, CSRD’s Parks and Recreation manager, says the CSRD zon-ing bylaw also only permits true waterfront owners to have docks.

“The intent there is it would not make sense to have a local zoning bylaw allow-ing docks for proper-

ties that we know the province would not allow,” he says. “We have a shared juris-diction, that’s why we made such a strong commitment to make local government reg-ulations mimic federal and provincial regula-tions.”

Tobin and Pachcin-ski agree the enforce-ment focus is on 100 to 150 structures out of an estimated 2,700-plus that would never be permitted in their current form because they’re either grossly over-built, built in high-value habitats, or were built without the right to construct on the beach or water.

“People built them without getting per-mission; they were not entitled,” Tobin said. “I’m mystified, espe-cially because Shus-wap Lake has one of the most significant salmonid fisheries, certainly in B.C. if not North America. We’re trying to get back to as natural a system as possible on a lake that is facing significant public pressure.”

Mike Simpson, se-nior regional manager of the Fraser Basin Council, which admin-isters SLIPP, says that while water quality was a big issue when

the organization was formed, it was not the only one.

He says the only involvement SLIPP has had in the illegal dock and structure is-sue was to use funds provided by The Habi-tat Conservation Trust Foundation – not tax-payers’ money – in a pilot project in which upland owners were offered funds to pay for the modification or removal of their illegal docks.

“That has gone over like a lead balloon,” he says, noting the last of the projects was completed in March, at which point SLIPP walked away and is in no way involved in en-forcement activities.

Tobin reiterates property owners need to be aware that docks without permits will have to be removed.

“Removal of said structures can happen voluntarily (owner complies and re-moves), or they can be ordered to remove via a trespass notice from Compliance and En-forcement,” he says, estimating the process will take about three to four years to complete.

On their part, Cun-liffe says the property owners provided their contact information

when they signed in at Monday night’s meet-ing.

“An email will go out to each of them and people will ex-press their opinions on

where they want to go next,” he said.

“There was definite interest to form some kind of a group to see if there is a way to re-solve this.”

Dance partnersJoan and Jim Lemke share a dance to the Lakeview Duo’s rhythms, which was part of the Senior’s Resource Fair held at the Mall at Piccadilly on May 31 and June 1.

Shuswap residents will soon have an op-portunity to learn more about a gaming centre proposed for Salmon Arm.

While a specific date has yet to be deter-mined, the B.C. Lot-tery Corporation and service partner Berezan Management will be hosting an open house in June. BCLC spokes-

person Kim Steinbart says the purpose of the meeting is to share the plans for the communi-ty gaming centre being proposed by the Adams Lake Indian Band, to be located on the Trans-Canada Highway at the former location of Salmon Arm GM.

“People will have the opportunity to learn more about BCLC and our partners, and view renderings of the up-coming development,”

says Steinbart in an email.

“We’ll also share more details about the entertainment options that will be available, and the responsible gambling program-ming we offer in all gambling facilities across the province.”

The centre is ex-pected to be about 20,000-square-feet in size, and include slot machines, bingo, a lounge and a restaurant.

George Abbott is taking on another new role in the wake of his retirement as a pro-vincial MLA. Abbott has helped establish a Victoria-based consult-ing firm, to help advise people on how to get what they need from government.

Called Circle Square Solutions, the firm’s

mission as stated on its website is “Squaring the circle of complex public policy challeng-es with practical and innovative solutions.”

In addition to Abbott, the firm also includes Chris Trumpy, a retired public servant who was also a former deputy minister of finance and Bob de Faye, a broadly experienced former government deputy

minister. Brant Abbott, George’s eldest son, is also part of the firm as a research analyst.

In addition to con-sulting work, Abbott is also available for speaking engagements.

Since announcing his retirement, Abbott has also returned to his roots as an educa-tor, teaching a course on public policy at the University of Victoria.

A swing and a kissJordan Schaus gives her daughter Hannah a kiss each time she comes close while on the swings at Fletcher Park.

A Columbia Shus-wap Regional District director has resigned as chair of the Shuswap Lake Integrated Plan-ning Process steering committee.

While Area F North Shuswap director Larry Morgan stepped down Thursday, May 23, he will continue to sit on the committee.

“I resigned as chair of the SLIPP Steering Committee, as I did not want to continue to be drawn into an increas-ingly divisive debate over the direction of SLIPP,” Morgan said in a written statement.

Created in 2007 in response to concerns regarding numerous issues impacting the Shuswap watershed, SLIPP is comprised of stakeholders from various levels of gov-ernment and environ-mental groups, who committed varying amounts of funding to a three-year pilot project.

The project is now in its third year.

“They were trying push it ahead and I just thought we were getting ahead of our-selves,” Morgan said in a phone interview last

week. “I am reserving judgment on any deci-sion on the continuation or funding of SLIPP for the future.”

Morgan was opposed to a proposal to send out a survey to gauge pub-lic approval for SLIPP.

“My argument was surveys can be ma-nipulated,” he said. “It boiled down to the fact certain people are more supportive than I am.”

Morgan said that at $90,000 a year over the

three-year project, Area F is the second largest contributor to SLIPP, after Area C South Shuswap, which is in for $142,000 per year.

“Other areas are pay-ing a lot less and Salm-on Arm contributed a small amount last year and this year, and Si-camous is contributing nothing this year,” he said.

“From the Area F

standpoint, we need to see funding done on a more fair basis in terms of population or a tran-sition to some other or-ganization.”

Defending Morgan’s position, interim chair and Salmon Arm may-or, Nancy Cooper, says the steering committee does not yet have all the information needed to make decisions.

“I am waiting to see and evaluate and bring that to council,” she says.

Shuswap Water Ac-tion Team (SWAT) president Ray Nadeau, says it’s important to get a decision on moving SLIPP forward prior to September because the regional district will be in the budget process for 2014.

Without a decision on funding, he is wor-ried the project will simply slip under the waves.

“So far the results of SLIPP show the water is clearly beginning to deteriorate and, in my opinion, we need a permanently-funded water board similar to what they’ve had for 40 years in the Okanagan,” he says, pointing out a healthy economy is dependent on a healthy watershed.

Editorial

At least twice each year we see a real push from police against drinking and driving. Once at Christmas and again in the spring.

At Christmas, age is not a consideration for police, but in springtime, the target group is clear. Drinking drivers tend to be younger in spring around graduation time.

But drinking alone is still a threat to our youth, whether they get behind the wheel of a car or not. From risky sexual behaviour to an increase in physical and sexual assaults, to death from alcohol poisoning, the risk to youth from excessive alcohol use or drinking to get drunk, is real.

With any luck, the days of parent-sanctioned

“wet” grad parties are a thing of the past.As parents, it’s our job to make the tough

decisions – even if they are not the most popu-lar ones with our kids. All their lives we’ve made decisions for our children based on what we think is best for them. We’ve denied them sugary cereals. We’ve strapped unwilling tod-dlers into car seats, because it’s the safest way for them to ride. It may not be the easiest thing you’ve done lately, but convincing your teen that drinking alcohol to celebrate is not a necessity and could bring them harm in ways other than the risk of driving drunk will make everyone feel better in the morning.

- Black Press

Impaired driving not the only risk

Call it quits on SenateSometimes for us Westerners, the issues in Ottawa can seem

pretty distant. While many issues of national importance can have a significant impact, it can be hard to feel that connection stretch the equivalent of a five-hour flight to the federal centre of the universe.

But the recent revelations about the conduct of senators like Mike Duffy and Pamela Wallin (both former journalists, I shud-der to add) should have all B.C.’ers sitting up and taking notice.

Really, the conduct of some individual senators aside. The larger issue is whether Canadians really need the senate – or, more accurately, should we be paying for it.

Having completed my university degree in Ottawa, I had a number of chances to witness the workings of both Parliament and the Senate. Even those many years ago, I questioned the need for this so-called chamber of sober second thought on par-liamentary legislation.

I have vivid recall of watching one senator for quite some time, trying to determine from the height of the visitor gallery whether he was asleep or just resting.

I’m not alone in my concerns.I also recall speaking to our own MP Colin Mayes, who at the

time was a candidate for the Reform Party. He heartily agreed with the inefficiency of the Senate and espoused the need to re-form the archaic institution into the Triple E (which stands for elected, equal and effective) model. This would have each prov-ince elect the same number of senators and, as a result, make it a more effective and democratic arm of the government.

Prime Minister Stephen Harper himself has long been a crit-ic of the Senate, which was one of the foundation platforms of the Reform Party of Canada. Then-leader Preston Manning es-poused an elected, rather than appointed upper chamber and in 2004 Harper himself said he would not appoint senators.

In the years since, he has appointed 59 members to the Senate, including prominent Conservative Party supporters and failed candidates.

Clearly the Senate situation has not changed. Senators are still not elected, and the issue of patronage appointments for the lu-crative positions, which pay a base salary of $135,200 in addition to expenses continues – the source of much of the recent scandal. Recent estimates peg the annual cost of the senate at more than $92 million. That is all from taxpayer dollars.

In my mind, it is time to forget reform and take that cost off the books altogether. Pay some type of severance to the current crop and shut down the Senate. Government will function just fine. Remember, most provinces also used to have an upper chamber of their own legislatures. The vast majority of these have been abolished as they proved to be little more than an expensive rub-ber-stamp on the legislative process.

I’d much rather see that $92 million spent on upgrading our Trans-Canada Highway or enhancing social programs for needy Canadians.

View PointThe Observer asked:If you were planning to stay in the Shuswap for your holidays what would you do?

Gerri Kiy“Go out on a houseboat.”

Jim Duxbury“Fishing and more fishing.”

Michelle Holmes“We’d probably go camping out at Herald Park.”

Murray MacDonald“Take in everything that goes on at Kingfisher Hall.”

Vivian Morris“Mountain biking at Larch Hills and maybe rent the log cabin that’s up there.”

It was an interesting provincial election campaign, and I met a lot of supporters of the other side: Liberals provincially, Conservatives federally. Many of them raged about Adrian Dix having collected severance pay when dismissed for having back-dated his own memo.

“He should give back the money!”Now, the shoe is on the other foot:

Stephen Harper informs us that Nigel Wright, having resigned for paying Mike Duffy $90,000 to help make an

audit go away (in violation of section 17 (1) of the Senate Conflict of Interest code, Section 16 (1) of the Parliament of Canada Act – up to one year in jail – and Section 121 (1) of the Criminal code – up to five years in jail.) will get severance pay.

“The Prime Minister said that Wright, a former Bay Street financier and lawyer, is owed payments under the law. The government cannot work around them.”

Is there any chance that any local

residents (I know where you live be-cause I canvassed you) who were so outraged over Adrian will be similarly upset by Nigel Wright?

Will they be demanding that justice be done, and that Wright be disbarred? Imprisoned? That he give back the money? Will they vote against the Conservatives?

Should I hold my breath in anticipa-tion?

I recently received my tax notice – and sadly there is yet another tax increase this year – has council not heard that we are in a recession?

We have policing that needs to be paid for – and yet we increased those costs from a crime prevention viewpoint when we allowed the credit union to build away from the downtown core where all of the other banks are. The ap-proval for the new location will increase our policing costs.

I do understand there is aged infrastructure that needs to be replaced and paid for and therefore taxes must be levied.

There is, however, a potential solution other than raising taxes each year.

That solution would be to market Salmon Arm to fami-lies with young children. It is families that make a commu-nity. With more families will come more commerce, more jobs, housing developing and more opportunities.

Sadly, our town has been marketed as a great place to retire – and it has much to offer. However, the retired folk will lose that perception if they cannot afford to live here because of increasing taxes.

Perhaps our residents (and council) need to explore oth-er options for raising funds.

Accountability needed on election fraud

It’s time to counter Morgenthaler’s legacy

With 11 words, a Federal Court judge acknowledged a democratic crisis in Canada, and implicated the governing Conservative Party.

“I find that electoral fraud occurred during the 41st General Election,” wrote Judge Richard Mosley in his ruling on legal cases brought forward by eight Canadians who, with the aid and support of the Council of Cana-dians, sought to overturn results from the 2011 federal election.

“Misleading calls about the loca-tions of polling stations were made to electors in ridings across the country,” concluded Mosley, adding that the calls, “appear to have been targetted towards voters who had previously expressed a preference for an opposi-

tion party.”“The most likely source of the in-

formation used to make the mislead-ing calls was the CIMS database maintained and controlled by the CPC (Conservative Party of Canada), accessed for that purpose by a person or persons currently unknown to this court,” the ruling read.

“This Federal Court decision is a major indictment of the Conservative Party of Canada,” said Garry Neil, executive director of the Council of Canadians. “The court has found that CIMS was used for extensive election fraud. It’s now up to the Conservative Party to tell Canadians who did it.”

It’s time for the Conservatives to be accountable for election fraud!

This week, while considering ap-pealing the judgment to the Supreme Court of Canada to seek further rem-edies to the proven election fraud, the Council of Canadians called on the Conservative Party to make public a list of everyone who had access to the national CIMS database and authority to make a decision to initiate the calls, and to turn the information over to the Commissioner of Elections.

I join this call for accountabil-ity and demand that the Conservative Party turn over those responsible, or release the list of names of all those who had access to the national CIMS database in the 2011 federal election.

Robert R. Boxall

It’s hard to comprehend how the me-dia heaps accolades upon Dr. Henry Morgentaler when his legacy is over 100,000 abortions a year. Morgen-taler’s crusade for reproductive health i.e. abortion, your right to choose, free-ing women of motherhood all funded by taxpayers’ money has left a trail of sorrow. Women regretting their abor-tion decision, women injured, unable to bear a child “when they want it.” Many of these women are courageous-

ly speaking out about the harm done to them, some at Morgentaler’s own abor-tion clinic.

Morgentaler challenged the abor-tion law in the ’70s and ’80s. Finally in 1988 the Supreme Court of Canada struck down the law that had given a tiny bit of protection to the baby in the womb. However, the court also said that it was up to parliament to legislate when human life should be protected.

The pro-life movement always

hoped and prayed that Morgentaler would change his position. Dr. Ber-nard Nathanson, the U.S. crusader for abortion rights who, after committing over 60,000 abortions, encountered fe-tology, and came to the full awareness that human life begins at conception. The majority of Canadians want some legal protection for the pre-born. It is time for the government to act.

Demonstration of double standardSalmon Arm needs to attract young families

Drivers must remember rules

It’s been a few years since I first obtained my driver’s li-cence, so I stand to be corrected, but is it not illegal to pull up on the right hand side of a vehicle at an intersection on a single lane street or road, where there is no designated right turn lane, and turn right?

It always startles me when it happens.And when did it become ‘ok’ to pass a vehicle on the

right on a single lane street or road when that vehicle is waiting to make a legal left-hand turn?

I cringe each time I watch this happen, which is often, especially where a pedestrian crosswalk is also present.

Is it really so important to get where we’re going in the least amount of time possible?

Maiden voyageThe Princess Maidens of the Shuswap ride around Blackburn Park on the Big Bike, as an annual fundraiser for the Heart and Stroke Foundation on May 30.

A roll of film filled with baby pictures that was stolen close to a decade ago has been recov-ered thanks to the efforts of a former Salmon Arm resident’s social media postings.

Helen Maslyk, who recently moved to Vancouver Island from Salmon Arm, discovered

the film canister on the roadside of the Malahat Highway near Victoria during the May long weekend.

Maslyk spotted the roll of undeveloped film in the ditch when her camping trip was de-layed due to tire problems.

She had the film developed, then posted the baby pictures on Facebook in an effort to find the owner.

The photos’ owner, Ann Per-ry-Smith, said the film was sto-len nine years ago during a ve-hicle break-in and was amazed to see the photographs of her husband and then-infant daugh-ter online.

The film has now been re-turned and the two women have since had their story covered by national and international me-dia.

credit card scamOn May 28, Salmon Arm RCMP received a report that unidentified women had contacted an elderly resident of Salmon Arm advising that as a valued customer of Askew’s Foods, she had won a prize. To find out more information about her prize she was to press #1 on her phone. When the woman complied, a second woman got on the line and informed the senior she would have to obtain some personal informa-tion from her before she could claim her prize. The caller asked for the woman’s credit card number and security code. When the woman refused to provide the caller with this informa-tion, she hung up. Askew’s Foods confirmed they were not the source of the call and would never ask for per-sonal banking information. Police caution the public not to provide person-al credit card or banking information over the phone. There is no legitimate organization that would require a person who has won a contest to provide this information. This would also include the forwarding of monies before you can collect your winnings. Salmon Arm RCMP officer Carlos Tettolowski repeats the adage, “If it sounds too good to be true, it usually is.”

Assault arrestTwo people have been arrested and charges of assault with a weapon are pending after Salmon Arm RCMP responded to a fight on May 31. Police went to a residence in the 1100 block of Shuswap Street after receiving a report that 10 people were there fighting. It was determined the altercation was a result of a previous as-sault. The fight resulted in non-life-threatening injuries that required hospital treatment for two of the people involved. A 41-year-old male resi-dent of Tappen and a 34-year-old female from Salmon Arm were located and arrested shortly after the incident.

RCMP offers amnesty on firearms

The Salmon Arm RCMP are participating in an effort to make homes across B.C. safer by sup-porting a province-wide gun amnesty throughout the month of June.

With endorsement from the BC Association of Chiefs of Police, the program is running until June 30.

During this time, residents of B.C. will be able to safely dispose of unwanted, documented or undocumented firearms, weapons and ammuni-tion that have not been used in a criminal offence, without facing weapons-related Criminal Code charges.

Deputy Commissioner Craig Callens, Com-manding Officer of the RCMP in B.C., says that “we as police officers know full well the effects and impacts of having firearms inside homes, par-ticularly if they are unsecured. Turning in unwant-ed firearms will eliminate the risks these weapons pose.”

“This amnesty is a chance to take guns and am-munition out of homes and off our streets, and make our province safer for everyone. It’s an important partnership between police and Brit-ish Columbians as we work together to minimize needless and avoidable tragedies,” said Shirley Bond, Minister of Justice and Attorney General.

Anyone who possesses guns, ammunition and weapons, even imitation and pellet weapons, pep-per spray and knives, are being asked to phone the local detachment on the non-emergency line at 250-832-6044.

Police will go to their residence to pick up the weapon.

It is important that residents do not transport these weapons themselves into police depart-ments for security reasons.

“We do not want people just walking in with their firearms,” notes Cpl. Carlos Tettolowski.

For further information on the BC Gun Amnes-ty, how to turn in weapons and types of weapons accepted under this amnesty, visit www.bcgun-amnesty.ca.

Building relationships

The relationship between aboriginal and non-aboriginal communities, agencies and gov-ernments in the Shuswap took another step forward on May 22.

About 115 participants gath-ered at Quaaout Lodge for a Moving Forward Together work-shop, delving into how to over-come barriers to effective region-al communication.

This follows a two-day work-shop of the same name in April 2012, which began the process of developing regional planning.

“I would say it was a success-ful event,” said Craig Duckchief of the Adams Lake Indian Band, one of the organizers. “I think if you look across the province, this is a unique relationship be-ing continued; you don’t see this in other areas. We’re looking at making sure we’re respecting everybody and at the same time we want to be as inclusive as we can.”

Similar to the 2012 workshop which included the chiefs of the Adams Lake, Neskonlith, Splat-sin and Little Shuswap bands, as well as representatives of munic-ipal governments and agencies from Chase, Enderby, Sicamous and Salmon Arm, this event at-tracted a diverse group.

One important theme emerg-ing from the workshop was the necessity to build relationships within the communities, said Duckchief, “and the understand-ing of aboriginal people is a strong theme that’s coming out.”

The workshops are striving to achieve what was attempted and recorded in the 1910 Sir Wilfred Laurier Memorial document, notes Duckchief.

“This is when Secwepemc chiefs, along with Okanagan and other chiefs, travelled to Ottawa. They understood there were go-ing to be non-native people com-

ing into the community; what they were asking for was some dignified relationship building. They understood people wanted to settle, but they were looking for that relationship.”

Today, he said, Secwepemc chiefs are echoing those concerns regarding treating people equally and respectfully as well as creat-ing sustainable development.

“You’ll hear a lot of the Sec-wepemc chiefs today in that framework, building that rela-tionship, seeking to help one an-other….

“We do want to see growth in the Shuswap region, we do want to see our people involved in the larger community, and to break down those created walls and myths and want to have more understanding. We want to have a part in future growth… As the population increases, it’s impor-tant we have really good com-munication, develop a sense of the Shuswap, a pride of knowing the Shuswap region is aboriginal people who have lived here for that long (thousands of years), but also the Shuswap region is made up of diverse cultures, di-verse interests. How do we work together and move forward in that direction for our future? It’s about long-term growth trying to be better.”

He said education in the schools regarding actual history in the region is an important com-ponent of relationship building.

Another organizer, Janet McLean Senft of the Eagle Val-ley Community Support Society in Sicamous, agreed the work-shop went very well, noting that individuals were encouraged to take on or contribute to specific tasks or areas of interest.

A couple of issues she is inter-ested in include making certain all people in all areas of the re-gion have access to food – which some don’t due to a lack of food banks – as well as developing regional transportation. While there are a number of transporta-tion links, nothing meets all the needs, she says, noting, for in-stance, if a person lives west of DeMille’s in Salmon Arm, there would be no way to get to the Okanagan College campus daily via the transit system.

McLean Senft points out that a lot of people with large trucks hauling snowmobiles on large trailers come to the region for recreation but, because of limited transit, can’t park their trucks and tour the area via transit.

She said it will now be up to the participants in the workshop to keep the momentum going.

“Even if the only time you have is to send an email about what’s going on, or a link to what’s going on, to other people. Otherwise you end up with that ‘somebody ought to something’ thing’ that doesn’t go anywhere.

Another workshop is expected to be held in the fall.

Communication: Craig Duckchief of the Adams Lake Indian Band says the initiative is designed to enhance un-derstanding and build respect between the diverse groups in the Shuswap.

Marechal Foch medalOvino Winery’s 2011 Momento was awarded double gold at the All Canadian Wine Cham-pionships this month for being the top scor-ing wine in the Marechal Foch category. The red wine was scored on a 100-point scale and judged on sensory components, varietal charac-ter and structural soundness.

Hair-raising anniversaryMartina’s Classic Barber Shoppe celebrated 20 years of business on May 30. Martina Bopp’s Hudson Avenue shop has been there since 1993 and she has owned the shop since 1997. “Salmon Arm itself and the clients have been wonderful,” Bopp said. “Customers are here and you get to know them and they’re more than just customers, they’re your friends. And I could not have done it without the nice help I have in the barber shop with the ladies.”

Carri’s closureA longtime resident of Centenoka Mall, Carri’s Restaurant, has closed its doors. The restaurant opened in February 1995 and moved to their current location in 1997. After 18 years, Barry and Lynne Cross have decided to retire. On May 31 they served their last customer. Carri’s is having a garage sale all week to clear out sup-plies including booths, plates, silverware, a deep fryer and other restaurant materials.

Kids can experience Wild WondersShuswap Wild Won-

ders has expanded its day camp offerings to three groups to include students from grades one to six.

Shuswap Wild Won-ders was created last year with the aim of connecting kids with nature through day camps, using the lo-cal trail systems. Geoff Styles, Jeremy Ayotte, and Ceren Caner came

up with the idea af-ter discussing outdoor education and the im-portance of getting kids outside.

“We created this camp out of those con-versations and a need we thought had to be filled for the area, to have this outdoor expe-rience for kids,” Styles said.

Keeping participants active and engaged, the

camps incorporate ele-ments of the arts and sciences such as study-ing plants and birds, First Nations history, pond ecology, fine arts and journaling.

They’ve hired six instructors this year in-cluding horticulturists, biologists and artists. For info and registra-tion, see the website at shuswapwildwonders.wix.com/camps.

Competing for the RoboCup

Dancing robots and dedicated kids – three Grade 6 students will be showcasing their robotic skills at the international level this summer.

Shuswap Middle School students Mat-thew Carson and Aiken Webster and Len Wood Middle School student Madison Smith are headed to Eindhoven, Netherlands for the World RoboCup Junior Competition from June 24 to July 1. The com-petition incorporates custom-built robots in different activities.

Mentored by Kim Webster and Lisa Coombs-Smith, the students competed in the Western Canada RoboCup Junior com-petition last fall. They took first place in the primary dance divi-sion with a Star Wars routine that they wrote and choreographed. The robots were built and programmed by the students.

“I’m incredibly proud of them. They’ve done so well, they have put in so much time and effort,” Webster said, adding it is a huge time commitment for the students consider-

ing they are doing this on top of their regular school work and extra-curricular activities.

Since they only found out in March that they were going to Worlds, they will be performing a revised version of their Star Wars routine. Webster said the team has been working on perfecting the routine after assess-ing their performance at Westerns.

The World RoboCup Junior Competition will draw 2,500 com-petitors internationally.

About 160 riders were in the running for $19,500 in prize mon-ey over the weekend.

The Salmon Arm Barrel Bonanza at the Salmon Arm Fair-grounds attracted horses and riders from as far away as Daw-son Creek, Chetwynd, Vancouver Island and Drayton Valley, Al-berta.

“It went absolutely phenomenal, better than we ever expect-ed,” said a pleased Ch-antelle Prentice, one of the organizers.

Last year just over $17,000 was paid out to barrel racers in prize money, while this year that total rose by $2,500.

Prentice explains that the local non-prof-

it group working with the BC Barrel Associa-tion runs the bonanza, giving $50 of the $53 daily fee per rider back to riders and horse par-ticipating.

“A lot of barrel races take 30 per cent of the entry fee off the top to pay for costs and take money themselves, but as a non-profit group and working with the BC Barrel Associa-tion, we put members and riders first, and try to pay out as much as possible.”

Along with entry fees, the prizes were boosted by donations from sponsors. Along with the cash pay-outs on both Saturday and Sunday for each divi-sion, winners of the two-day average cat-

egory received gift prizes.

Riders ranged from the youngest at two years to the oldest in their seventies. An excited two-year-old Hannah Lewis from Chilliwack, who com-peted in the Peewee category, rounded the barrels with help from a couple of adults who led her obliging horse Lennie.

Overall for the Pee-wee racers, who were 10 years and younger, local riders included Silver Creek’s Hannah Fitchett on Croppy1 and Taylor Fitchett on Trotter as well as, from Salmon Arm, Melissa Vandervoot on Micah and Cadence Petitclerc on Jewel.

In the Junior cat-

egory, local riders who placed in the top three in ‘Show Average’ in their divisions were: Melissa Schweb on Pablo, 2nd in 2D; Dan-ielle Scott on Copper, 1st in 4D and Avery Cody on Oscar, 3rd in 4D. In Saturday’s race, Melissa Schweb placed 3rd in 2D; Avery Cody earned second in 4D; and Danielle Scott was 3rd in 4D. On Sunday, Lyla MacKenzie on Zena placed 1st in 3D while Danielle Scott took 2nd in the same division.

In the Open category, Saturday’s race saw or-ganizer Prentice place 2nd in the 3D division. In Sunday’s race in the Open category, Jenny Traub on Foxy, from Drayton Valley, posted

the fastest time of the weekend at 16.755 sec-onds.

First in the 2D di-vision was Amanda Fitchett, while 3rd in the 3D division was Salmon Arm’s Fran-ces Herring on Honor Triple Cash.

TODAY’S ANSWERSCrossword

With the first-ever TOYSL (Thompson Okanagan Youth Soccer League) Cup Champi-onship on the line, the final game of the regu-lar season had two un-defeated teams compet-ing for first place in the U18 division.

Penticton, who was two points ahead in the standings, travelled to Salmon Arm for a 6:30 game Sunday night. Shuswap FC needed a win to secure the top spot and home-field advantage in the play-downs for provincials, while Penticton needed only a tie to finish first.

From the open-ing whistle, Shuswap was under attack from a skilled and strate-gic Penticton squad. Time and time again the Shuswap defence cleared away danger, and the keeper dealt with any shots on target. The Shuswap midfield-

ers also cut off errant passes and launched effective counterattacks that kept Shuswap in the hunt for the first goal of the game. The first half ended 0-0.

With optimism build-ing on the Shuswap sidelines from an en-thusiastic crowd des-perate for a goal from the home side, the lo-cal boys struck first at the 50-foot mark with a nip, a tuck, a cross and a decisive strike which nearly tore the netting off the frame. Score 1-0.

The cat and mouse game continued with possession being more balanced and attacks coming more fre-quently for both sides. As pressure mounted, Penticton seized an op-portunity to draw even in the 80th minute, but momentum did not fol-low.

A composed Shus-wap side quickly pro-

vided their lethal striker with a shot which rang off the crossbar but created panic amongst the Penticton defend-ers. Minutes later with an advancing Shuswap midfielder headed for goal, Penticton hacked

him down, setting the stage for a game-win-ning penalty shot. Final score Shuswap 2, Pent-icton 1.

A date for the final game in Salmon Arm to decide who will rep-resent the Thompson-

Okanagan in the provin-cials will be set once the second-place team has been determined.

Fan support was much appreciated throughout the season and especially during this decisive game.

outlaws win two out of threeThe Shuswap Outlaws Midget Lacrosse team returned to league action Saturday with a double-header against the Kelowna Kodiaks. Quality passing and team play allowed the Outlaws to take the first game 7-3. Sean Mac-Donald stood out with a goal and three assists. In the second game, Shuswap used a four-goal performance from Austin Pugh to pace them to a 7-4 win and a sweep of Kelowna. After a slow start on Sunday versus the Penticton Heat, the Outlaws found themselves down 7-3 after two periods. In the third frame they clawed their way back to a 7-7 tie, only to have Penticton score the winner with just over four minutes to play. The loss was the first of the year for the Shuswap Midgets. Carson Hoult had two goals for Shuswap.

support for dragon boatersTo celebrate that women can lead healthy and active lives after breast cancer, the Canadian Breast Cancer Foundation’s BC/Yukon Region awarded a total of $58,000 to 23 dragon boat breast cancer survivor teams in B.C. for the 2012 season. In the Shuswap, Friends Abreast with 30 team members and Pink Pistons with 28 members each received $2,000. Each team is required to participate in at least two communi-ty events to promote awareness of breast cancer/breast health, each year, in order to qualify. Most teams far surpass that.

U18 boys TOYSL champs

No go: Shuswap U18 players Dylan Staal and #20 Micah Gunn close in on Penticton striker James Fraser during Shuswap’s 2-1 league championship win Sunday evening at Blackburn Park.

Last week’s Okana-gan Women’s Masters league game found two Salmon Arms teams – Ted United and Set-ters Pub – matched up against one another on Tuesday night.

It was a close, well-

fought game for the two local teams.

United opened up the scoring with a quick goal by Kyla Sherman.

Towards the end of the first half Tricia Martin sent a beautiful through ball for Cathy

Bartsch to run onto, and Bartsch, with great finish, put United up by one more.

Solid defending and great ball movement by United enabled them to have numerous shots on the opposition’s net

but were unable to tally more goals against Set-ters’ formidable goal-tender.

Setters found the back of the net off a corner kick with min-utes left in the game to make the final score

2-1 for United. It was a great competitive game played by both teams.

Ted United’s next game is in Vernon on June 4 versus Season Sista’s. Setters plays Vernon’s Controllers in Salmon Arm.

Ted squeaks out win over Setters

During his tenure with Vernon he helped them to Royal Bank Cup Championships in 2009 and 2010, and a runner-up in 2011. His resumé also includes winning the Fred Page Cup three times, the Doyle Cup three times and three BCHL Championships.

He is Larry Black, a former scout with the Vernon Vipers and now the new assistant

general manager and director of player per-sonnel for the Salmon

Arm SilverBacks. “Blackie as he is

known to his friends is also going to help me in the assistant GM role as this gives me the opportunity to go back behind the bench knowing that (he) will be helping me build Salmon Arm into a na-tional champion,” said head coach and GM Troy Mick.

The ’Backs also made two acquisitions

over the past week. They have signed

forward 17-year-old Kamloops native Con-nor Brown-Maloski from the KIJHL’s Bea-ver Valley NiteHawks. The speedy forward earned the league’s Neil Murdoch Divi-sion Rookie of the Year honours this past sea-son. He was an impact player for his club with 16 goals and 37 assists for 53 points.

Also joining the Sil-verBacks is forward Cam Berry (’94) from the Sicamous Eagles of the KIJHL.

The forward from Chandler, Arizona amassed 24 goals, 20 assists for a total of 44 point as a rookie for the Eagles.

Berry also played four games for the ’Backs in the playoffs and had one goal in the Penticton series.

Shuswap Rugby at its finest. The Man-ther rugby team, based out of Enderby, played a tense yet good-hu-moured league game against the only Vernon rugby team, the Jackals, on June 1.

Their last meeting in Enderby had a Vernon referee and a rookie squad of Manthers, los-ing 42-29. The team was short of players, needing 15 but only having 13 until Tyrone McCabe fixed his flat tire and Will Walton showed up. Graciously, the Jackals played only 15 and kept their subs until halftime.

Thankfully, the Man-thers put the points on the board first with a solid effort stemming from the front row of Bosman, Danger Dave Micklefield and Ster-ling “Excalibur” Gath-ergood. There was a try scored in the corner by McCabe, Greg “old man” Seed to convert. A big effort by the Jack-als to get to the Man-thers’ six-yard-line. The Manthers passed and offloaded the ball all the way into Vernon’s 22-yard zone only to get yet another penalty, allowing the Jackals to kick the ball deep into the Manthers’ end.

A great bounce for the Jackals, as their winger caught the ball from a punt from their standoff. The Manthers struggled as the Jackal forwards dominated the play. However, once the Manthers spun the ball out to Ryan “the Rock” Penner, he sprinted to

the 10-yard line to make a dazzling Fijian flip, behind-the-back pass to Jordie Baril who scored, making it look easy.

The Manthers’ Mc-Cabe, standing at 6’5, was boosted into the air by teammates Andy Brock and James Cook-son, who are both over six feet, only using Mc-Cabe’s knees as handle grips. Needless to say, he looked like the Fan-tastic Four “Stretch” character that seemed to have a 14-ft wing span to grab any rugby ball that Danger Dave or the Jackals threw at him. Hence, he was the Man of the Match.

The second half proved to be a bit dif-ferent as the Jackals utilized their four sub-stitutions and didn’t like losing to just 15 players who were slowly run-ning out of steam.

The Jackals were down on the Man-thers try line but great tackling and defence stopped the Jackals’ four attempts to score.

Flanker Thomas Batty and Brock made some crunching tackles on the ex Canadian prop Garth Cook playing for the Jackals. The scrum col-lapsed and Danger Dave went down; his shoul-der might have popped out and there were no spares to replace him. Fourteen men and 10 minutes left. The Jack-als finally get a try, 21 to Manthers 20.

The Manther kickoff went long and Cookson and Seed tied up the

Jackals to turn the ball over quickly, getting it out to Brad Shields. An-other pass to Walton on the wing, who cut back inside to crash over the try line but land on top of a Jackal, ball held up, no try. Bashing at the Jackal try line for change, the Manthers quickly popped the ball out to Jeff Miller at standoff who shook off a tackler to score under the posts. Final 27-21.

Next game is at Jack-son, June 15, 1 p.m.

ARTS & EVENTS“Mysticssippi” blues man Harry Manx has

spent years fusing eastern and western musical traditions with the blues. Switching effortlessly between conventional guitars, harmonica, banjo and the Mohan Veena “creating musical short sto-ries that wed the Blues with the depth of classical

Indian ragas.”Manx is a proli� c

artist, releasing 12 albums in a 12-year span with no signs of stopping.

He has re-ceived seven Maple Blues Awards, six Juno nomina-tions, CBC Radio’s Great

Canadian Blues Award. He received yet another Juno nomination in 2010 for Blues Album of the Year for his release Bread and Buddha.

Born on the Isle of Man, Manx immigrated to Ontario with his parents when he was a child.

He forged his distinctive style by studying at the feet of masters. During his formative years, he worked as a sound man in the well-known El Mo-cambo blues club in Toronto, and later engaged in a rigorous tutelage with Vishwa Mohan Bhatt in India.

Bhatt was the inventor of the 20-stringed Mo-han Veena, which has become Harry’s signature instrument.

Manx’s time in India imbued his music with an intangible spiritual quality.

“A song reveals who you are, it’s the vehicle for your message, your inspirational ideas or your story,” says Manx. “Like many people I’m inter-ested in my own development as a person and that’s represented in my songs; I’m searching for

truth through art and spirituality. “My songs are a synthesis of everything I’ve

absorbed, all my experiences, and I share that. I’m glad that it means something to people.”

Manx’s new CD Om Suite Ohm is now avail-able, and is the � rst CD to feature his ‘Bolly-

wood style’ electric slide techniques. He is joined by a fantastic group of musicians

on the album playing Indian, African and west-ern-style instruments.

The CD features the song Carry My Tears, which earned Manx a Western

Canadian Music Award nomination for Songwriter of the Year.

This unique and compelling mu-sician joins a talented and always-eclectic lineup of artists this year at the Roots and Blues Festival. Find out at www.rootsandblues.ca.

The Canadian Cancer Society Relay for Life is takes to a

new track Saturday, June 8.With 31 teams and 261 par-

ticipants, the nautical-themed relay will be, “Drowning out cancer one wave at a time.”

The Credit Union Crewzers, a long-standing team, are partici-pating for their ninth time.

Chris Verburg got the team going in 2004 and says they’ve had outstanding group every year.

This year they have their big-gest team yet with 17 members. And, including money raised so far this year, the Crewzers have raised $87,250 for the Canadian Cancer Society.

“It’s another way we can sup-port our community. We’ve had people on staff who have had cancer and we support them and they support us,” Verburg said. “Cancer is such a big thing it’s something that a lot of people have experienced or had it in their lives so (Relay for Life) is a good thing that people want to help out with.”

In the spirit of fundraising, the Crewzers have shaved staff member’s heads, organized ga-rage sales, held basket raf� es, 50/50 draws and hosted their member barbecue.

This year the barbecue drew a crowd on May 30. The team also plans to hold a barbecue to celebrate the opening of the credit union’s uptown location,

with proceeds going towards their fundraising for next year.

On Saturday, June 8 Relay for Life start-up entertainment will begin at 5 p.m. with Megan Able. From 7 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. there will be a survivor victory lap and teams will start their � rst lap. From 8 p.m. to 9 p.m. Ryan Guilbeault will entertain.

At 9:30, the most solemn event of the night, the Luminary Ceremony, will give partici-pants an opportunity to honour those who have lost their lives to cancer and to those who are still � ghting a battle with the disease.

The mood will lighten again with a performance by the Lead Painted Toys at 10 and The Elk Tribe will keep participants awake and on the track from 11:30 p.m. to 12:30 a.m. Ian Hill will be the last entertainer from 1 a.m to 2 a.m.

Save On Foods will be run-ning the concession and barbe-cue.

Because of a shortage os parking spaces, buses will pick-up survivors and caregivers at the curling rink at 5:30 p.m. and 5:45 p.m.

Well-known in Ca-nadian art circles, Ta-tianna O’Donnell has brewed herself a new audience.

The Salmon Arm resident answered a call for artwork issued by Scottish brewery Innis & Gunn.

Her oil painting, For-est Spectrum, will be featured on packaging for the company’s new limited-edition beer.

An Innis & Gunn representative says the Canadian Cherrywood Finish is the compa-ny’s fifth annual brew in honour of the com-pany’s loyal Canadian following.

This year also marks the company’s third consecutive year the company has worked with the Society of Ca-nadian Artists to find original artwork for its limited-edition beer packaging.

O’Donnell says For-est Spectrum was in-spired by a forest near Canmore, Alta. where she lived for four years and hiked often.

One particular area called out to O’Donnell.

“Part of the forest had been burned out and the texture and co-

lour contrast between the burnt-out area and the green forests was very interesting,” she says, noting, the com-pany looked at several of her landscapes be-fore asked for another submission. “I was re-ally elated, it’s very ex-citing.”

Long inspired by nature, O’Donnell has painted many paintings of landscapes and trees.

“My landscapes are never totally realistic; there’s lots of texture and colour,” she says, noting her first inspira-tions were the abstract expressionists from Montreal of the ’60s.

O’Donnell lived Enderby for several years prior to moving back to Alberta to be close to her grandchil-dren.

O’Donnell and her husband soon learned their family had their own busy lives and headed west again two years ago – this time to an acreage in Salmon Arm.

Raised in Montreal O’Donnell says she has been painting for most of her life.

“I remember being homesick in junior high when I began copying things out of my home ec. book, then started

playing around with colour and media,” she says. “My mother, who always supported the arts, registered me at the Montreal Museum of Fine Arts.”

O’Donnell was 14 and the museum school director was Arthur Lismer of the Group at Seven fame.

“I took two years of Saturday-morning

classes and I’ve never stopped since.”

O’Donnell began showing her work when she moved to Calgary and has since had exhi-bitions in various ven-ues in Alberta and B.C., including one at SAGA Public Art Gallery.

O’Donnell is equally comfortable working with oils and acrylics, but especially enjoys

working on canvas with paint.

“She has started do-ing still life projects, “putting objects that we use around the home to-gether in an interesting way.”

O’Donnell continues her Enderby connec-tion, having recently become chair of that community’s new Courtyard Gallery.

Local artwork well-packaged

Cheers: Artist Tatianna O’Donnell poses with the specially pack-aged bottle of Innis & Gunn beer that features one of her paint-ings.

Citizens of Salmon Arm united in the � ght against cancer this April during the Canadian Cancer Society Daffodil Month, making the annual campaign a

great success.More than $9200.00 was raised during Daffodil Month in Salmon Arm

through the sale of fresh cut � owers and daffodil pins. Today, over 60 per cent of Canadians diagnosed with cancer will survive at

least � ve years after their diagnosis, thanks in large part to Society-funded cancer research. That’s more than double the survival rate in the 1940s. In addition to funding life-saving cancer research, money raised during Daffodil Month funds vital support services for people living with cancer, prevention initiatives and advocacy for healthy public policies.

“The people of Salmon Arm joined the rest of the country in showing its support on Daffodil Day by wearing the daffodil – showing cancer we’re not afraid to � ght back. On April 12th, the Salmon Arm Unit of� cially celebrated 75 years as a unit and in conjunction with the Canadian Cancer Society celebrated this milestone by inviting local dignitaries and the public to an Open House.

We would like to thank the businesses, media, the citizens of Salmon Arm, and our generous volunteers for their ongoing support.

Kevin Bolen, Funeral Director

Born in 1969, Alan Little was four years old when his fam-ily moved to Salmon Arm. He grew up and graduated from Salmon Arm Senior Secondary before moving out into the world, living and working in various places before settling in Prince George, where he worked as a Shift Supervisor in the Lakeland Mills Sawmill.

Alan died on April 24, 2012 as the result of an explosion and fire that destroyed the mill on April 23. His mother, Deanna Little, along with his three surviving brothers, decided Alan would like a tangible commemorative spot here in Salm-on Arm, where his many friends can visit and remember him. Alan’s memorial brick was the first purchased from Shuswap Community Foundation.

Each brick purchased for placement in the walkway includes a donation to the Shuswap Community Foundation Memo-rial Walkway Fund which will fund community-based char-itable programs, projects and services within the area of Salmon Arm.

As a parent, there is nothing more frus-trating than spending time cooking a nice meal only to have your children whine, “Yuck, what is this? I don’t want this!” (or my daughter, who might just throw it on the floor).

Studies show that the best way to get your children to eat more foods is to involve them in the process.

This could be in the planning, shopping or food preparation stag-es. Cooking with your kids has other benefits as well: giving them a sense of accomplish-ment for contributing to the family, learning an important life skill, building self-confi-dence, and providing children with a hobby that is not “screen time.” Plus, if they like it, you may get some nights off cooking when they are a little older!

Sounds great?To get things started,

you may want to have a family meeting and get input on suppertime menu ideas. With busy schedules, it may only be realistic to start with one family meal per week.

If small children are helping with cook-ing, it is important to choose a time when you are feeling patient and not rushed. Meal preparation can be a little messy and time-consuming, and you need to stay relaxed to keep the experience positive (this is sup-posed to be fun). Make sure your children are aware of basic kitchen safety and hygiene. Depending on the age of your child, you may need to establish some rules and stick to them.

Here are some exam-ples of tasks that chil-dren can perform.

Under 5 years old:• Getting ingredients

from the fridge;• Washing, tearing,

or snapping some veg-etables;

• Lining muffin tins;• Cutting out shapes

with a cookie cutter;• Rolling, mashing,

stirring;• Measuring and

pouring some ingredi-ents; and

• Helping set the table.

Older children:• Cracking and sepa-

rating eggs;• Reading and choos-

ing recipes by them-selves;

• Inventing their own easy-to-make recipes;

• Stirring food over the stove (may need adult supervision);

• Grating cheese, cut-ting vegetables, fruits, etc. (using a plastic knife or dinner knife); and

• Washing dishes and putting them away. Wiping tables and counters.

Finally, make sure to let your children know when they have done a job well. Thank them

for helping you in the kitchen, and celebrate eating together!
