DESCRIPTION
June 12, 2013 edition of the Salmon Arm ObserverTRANSCRIPT
A Salmon Arm resident and longtime, outspoken anti-tobacco activist will be recognized in a new bylaw to ban smoking in city parks.
On Monday evening, a public hearing was held in city council chambers for the proposed Parks Regulation Amendment Bylaw that would see smoking prohibited in all municipal parks and public areas including the Ross Street Plaza, Canoe Beach, the Turner Creek Trail and the Mt. Ida Cem-etery. Dan MacQuarrie was one of the few to turn out for the hearing, though he kept quiet, despite hav-ing spent more than three decades working towards such a bylaw in
Salmon Arm and elsewhere in the province. With no one speaking for or against the bylaw, the hearing ended quickly. Mayor Nancy Coo-per then suggested an amendment, that the bylaw be named after Mac-Quarrie.
“This smoking bylaw has been the work of one Mr. Dan Mac-Quarrie, and he has actually been working on smoking bylaws for 38 years, or non-smoking bylaws, and so I am just asking council if they would add Dan’s name to this so it would be kind of like… Dan’s By-law,” said Cooper.
Couns. Debbie Cannon and Marg Kentel expressed their re-spect and appreciation for all the work MacQuarrie has done, but were reluctant to see the city set a
precedent by naming a bylaw after someone.
“My mother-in-law said to me Dan MacQuarrie was working on that when he was on council. He was very visionary, because he wanted the no-smoking in pub-lic areas,” Cannon commented. “And I totally support your work that you’ve done, and that you’ve stuck with this for 38 years, Dan. But for me, I can’t support nam-ing a bylaw, attaching someone’s name to it, just because I think that opens up a can of worms for other things.”
With respect to Cannon’s posi-tion, Coun. Alan Harrison argued in favour of recognizing MacQuar-

Relay scores home runCancer survivors Jimmy Motter and Viola Rutherford walk the Victory Lap in Saturday’s Relay For Life that raised $150,090 for the Canadian Cancer Society, despite being down three teams and 74 participants over last year.
“Considering that, we smashed it out of the park, we beat them all,” said thrilled co-ordinator Jen Dies.
She offered grateful thanks to volunteer leadership co-ordinator Sheryl Anderson and her team, sponsors, entertainers, the Elks who accommodated the event and the community that topped Kelowna’s $86,000 and Vernon’s $88,000 totals. Dies is confident the Salmon Arm Relay for Life will meet its $160,000 goal. For more images of the event, see A12.

rie, stating it would add a little pizzazz to the bylaw.
“I think it will maybe help catch the com-munity’s interest and understanding of the bylaw,” said Harri-son. “I understand Mr. MacQuarrie is all right with having his name attached to it. so that’s important. I don’t really have a problem. Most of our bylaws aren’t that attractive so most people probably won’t want their names on them.”
Coun. Ken Jamieson was of similar mind, stating he didn’t think anyone would be dis-gruntled about not hav-ing their names attached to bylaws or initiatives they’ve supported.
After the amendment passed, council gave third reading to the by-law. Harrison referred to two letters received by the city as the only opposition he had heard to the bylaw. but he said the writers may not have been clear on the bylaw’s intent, that it isn’t just about elimi-nating cigarette butts.
“In my mind, the big-gest reason for this is so that we don’t have to breathe in second-hand smoke when we’re do-ing recreational activi-ties,” said Harrison.
Jamieson said the by-law isn’t about tramp-ing on people’s rights, and that there is “going to be ample room for everybody to enjoy the type of air they want to breathe.”
Council also gave third reading to a re-lated ticketing bylaw. Those caught smoking in a park or public place may be fined $100.

Name makes bylaw memorable
City to purchase land for intersection
What may be an awk-ward investment for some, represents a stra-tegic purchase for the City of salmon Arm.
Municipal council has given three read-ings to three motions related to purchasing property at 921 17th street sW – the narrow lot between the Trans-Canada Highway and 17th, across from buck-erfield’s. one of the motions approved is for the short-term borrow-ing of $300,000, to go towards the total pur-
chase cost of $360,000. The remaining $60,000 would come from a re-serve account.
City administrator Carl bannister said the property is critical for the future construction of an intersection with traffic lights at the TCH and 20th street sW. The purchase will also help with the planned closure of 17th, and deal with a city storm sewer trespass issue.
“And finally, we’re considering multiple options on the remain-der of the property, in-cluding the potential
for community signage, potential for a tourism kiosk or rv pullout, and potential for resale of the remainder after this intersection is con-structed, which is likely going to be a number of years into the future,” said bannister.
Coun. Alan Harrison said the intersection with signals would im-prove traffic flow, and that he thought there’s a good chance the city would be able to re-coup the purchase cost through the possible resale of portions of the property.

Teen arrested for drug dealing
rCMP have arrested an 18-year-old for deal-ing methamphetamine, heroin and cocaine in a so-called “dial-a-dope” operation.
Charges of traffick-ing in a controlled substance are pending against the woman, who is from salmon Arm.
Members of the salmon Arm general
investigation section made the arrest and the woman was found to be in possession of the three illegal narcotics.
Following the arrest, rCMP subsequently obtained a warrant under the Controlled Drugs and substances Act and searched a residence in relation to the drug trafficking operation. That matter remains under investi-gation.
rescue on the lake
Three people, in-
cluding two young girls on paddle boards, had to be rescued from shuswap Lake by the police boat on sunday, June 9.
The young paddle boarders got into trou-ble due to the strong winds and poor condi-tions on shuswap Lake at the time of the inci-dent.
both girls were tak-en to shuswap Lake General Hospital to be assessed for hypother-mia but were otherwise unharmed.

Compromise seems to have quelled the public furor over sicamous council’s decision to move the Canada Day fireworks event to the August long weekend.
The decision had sparked a public protest in front of sicamous’ civic centre on Monday, June. 3.
subsequently, at a special meeting held Friday, June 7, council voted to rescind the previous deci-sion and move the fireworks display back to Can-ada Day. Afterwards, council voted in favour of another motion, to split the $20,000 the district has budgeted for fireworks this year so as to hold two shows, with 75 per cent of the funding going to-wards one on Canada Day, and 25 per cent towards a second event in August.
There are no fireworks held in salmon Arm on Canada Day, so many residents travel to sicamous or blind bay.

Flag person deliberately bumped by angry driver
A � ag person work-ing on the Trans-Canada Highway is bruised and shaken af-ter she was deliberately bumped by an angry driver Wednesday.
The driver is now facing charges under the Motor Vehicle Act and police continue to investigate the matter.
“It appears the traf-� c control person had vehicles stopped to al-low a dump truck to exit when they noted a male waiting to be waved through was on a cell phone. The male was advised that he would have to get off the cell phone before being allowed to pass,” said Sgt. Carlos Tet-tolowski, of the Salm-on Arm RCMP.
Tettowlowski says the male driver then moved forward slowly and bumped the traf-� c control person with his vehicle. The traf� c control person moved back away from the vehicle and the driver again moved forward slowly and bumped the � ag person again.
The owner of the traf� c control � rm, Al-liance Traf� c Group, says the incident is serious but re� ects the underlying problem of a lack of respect and common courtesy from drivers towards traf� c workers.
“Our workers put their lives on the line, staring down semis and other vehicles and they are there not to cause people an incon-venience but to help protect their safety and the safety of everyone working or driving in the area,” said John Thuot, an Alliance Traf� c Group owner.
Thuot says crews will be working along the Trans-Canada as the development for SmartCentres and its associated highway improvements are con-structed until at least October.
“Drivers need to be aware this will be im-pacting travel and treat the directions of � ag people with respect.”
Thuot says the most
recent incident with the � agger being bumped by a vehicle is one of the more serious, but not the � rst incident at this job site.
“People are frustrat-ed, they lose patience and they take it out on the traf� c control per-son — the very person who is out to protect them from harm. My workers have been sworn at, had things thrown out windows at them, it’s a really chal-lenging site.”
Disobeying the di-rections of � ag persons can also come with � -nancial consequences. Flag people are given the same authority to direct traf� c as police and there can be sig-ni� cant � nes for non-compliance.
Thuot appeals to drivers to be calm.
“A smile goes a long way. It’s about basic kindness. These are people out there work-ing in some pretty tough conditions and they are just trying to do their job.”
Doing the job: Flagger Allison Morris of Salmon Arm works for Alliance Traf� c Group, helping to ensure traf� c safety near the SmartCentres development in the west end of the city.

Editorial
Municipal politicians from across the country flooded into Vancouver over the weekend. They were there for the Federation of Canadian Munic-ipalities’ annual convention.
And while their backgrounds were as diverse as the communities they represented, their message was strikingly similar: Fix the funding.
It’s not a new complaint. For decades Canada’s cities have been telling Ottawa that they need more money if they are to do the things they are increasingly expected to do.
Municipalities must find new revenue from a taxpayer pool that is shallow and offers little flex-ibility. Deferring expenses is an option. But as roads and bridges deteriorate, it leads to an “infra-structure deficit” that must eventually be paid off.
That’s left municipalities calling for a change in the way cities are funded.
According to a report released at the conven-tion, the current relationship between municipal and federal levels of government is “dysfunc-tional.” It cites the fact that despite their evolving and expanding responsibilities, municipalities only receive eight cents of every tax dollar raised.
There were promises of new money at the con-vention, but that’s not enough.
What is needed is a change in the way the fund-ing flows. Canada’s cities have grown up. It is time governments stop treating them like children who are incapable of spending their allowance responsibly.
– Chilliwack Progress
Time to fix municipal funding
Events show civic spiritIt was such a busy weekend filled with so many tremendous
accomplishments by so many residents, I’m looking forward to sharing some of the appreciation in this column. But, as with life with the bouquets also come brickbats, so I’m going to get mine out first.
I’d like to send a personal boo to the man who appears to have forgotten all his manners and common sense by deliberately bumping a traffic control worker, not once, but twice with his car last week.
The man was illegally talking on his cell phone while driving and the flag person directed him to get off his cell phone before resuming his travel. The man then apparently was so incensed that he not only hurled verbal abuse, but decided to use his car as a weapon. The worker ended up bruised, but otherwise physi-cally unhurt. The RCMP were called in and Motor Vehicle Act charges are pending, but in my mind this man deserves a criminal charge. Pushing her with his car is just as bad as using his fists, which would be considered an assault.
Sometimes I wonder what it is about driving that can make so many people forget their common sense and simple good man-ners? It seems like people get in their cars and all that matters is getting where they need to go as fast as humanly possible and courtesy and even safety go out the window. So this construction season, try ensure you’re not one of those boneheads. Instead, take a deep breath and offer the flag person a wave or a smile. These people are there to do a job, they want to do it safely and ultimately they are there to help keep everyone safe.
Now on to the cheerful part of this column. I’m probably preaching to the choir when I say how amazingly
generous and caring the people of Salmon Arm can be. This community has long been a huge supporter of the Relay
For Life event, which benefits the Canadian Cancer Society. It is practically tradition that our small city bests our bigger neigh-bours including Kelowna and Kamloops in fundraising. This year was no exception. Even before our relay started Saturday evening, the money Salmon Arm raised exceeded the total of Ka-mloops’ event, which took place the weekend before.
Of course there are too many people to thank, but if you partici-pated or donated, good on you.
Another event, now only in its second year also deserves a spe-cial mention in my mind. The iLearn Street event, hosted by the Shuswap Eagles Pathfinders Club, saw a huge and diverse range of organizations take part in educational and fun booths for kids. The event was designed to appeal to kids aged seven to 14, a group which often gets a bit overlooked. Kids had to complete learning stations on topics like nutrition, languages, fire safety, money management, and many more in order to earn their way to excellent prizes or the chance to bungee on a trampoline, climb a rock wall or take a hot air balloon ride. It was a class-A event, and completely free for participants. Huge kudos to all those involved in putting this on, it was terrific.

Hooray!On behalf of all the nature
and beach lovers in the Shus-wap, I’d like to give a big thanks to the CSRD for their plan to restore our shoreline. Aside from the reasons al-ready covered, there’s one reason that hasn’t seemed to have been mentioned so far.
For so long, we have been denied access to public lands by those who have unjustly claimed the lakeshore for
themselves, either by put-ting docks and other things on the beach to suggest it’s privately owned – or, in some cases, blatantly put-ting up barbed wire fences and threatening anyone who even approaches the shore-line by water let alone by road.
It seems logical that open-ing up miles and miles of crown-owned shoreline will only increase tourist satis-
faction of our area. Land owners across the
road can enjoy the beach along with the rest of us, except they should no lon-ger be permitted to exclude others. If this causes resent-ment, they should take a vis-it to the town of Peachland and see how managing lake access should be done so all can enjoy what is their right.

BC VIEWS

VICTORIA – As she unveiled her new cabinet, Premier Christy Clark promised a “line-by-line” review of government spending to deliver a balanced budget this year.
Statements such as this would have more credibility if politicians subjected their own personal spending to the same scrutiny. That’s still not happening in B.C.
Expense accountability has come a long way in the last year, thanks mainly to the work of now-departed Auditor General John Doyle, who swung the cobweb-cov-ered door open on B.C.’s secretive Legis-lative Assembly Management Committee. Chaired by the speaker and run by senior MLAs from both parties, the committee had been doing pretty much whatever it wanted with MLAs’ own expenses.
Doyle’s audit found that MLA credit card bills were being paid without re-ceipts, part of a lax accounting system that included inaccurate bank records and inadequate management of the legislature gift shop and dining room. The operating budget of the legislature and constituen-cies runs to more than $60 million a year.
Now-retired speaker Bill Barisoff asked the auditor to give a pass to the $119,000 annual allowance for each of the 85 con-stituency of� ces. Transfer amounts and payroll expenses were veri� ed, but con-stituency expenses were not, likely be-cause these records weren’t kept either.
I’m not suggesting that there has been any misuse of public funds. The point is we don’t know, and the notion of an “hon-our system” for politicians’ expenses has become unacceptable.
A similar toxic tale has been unfolding in the Senate in Ottawa. It has its own se-cretive committee called the Board of In-ternal Economy, which was forced into the open after trying to sweep Senator Mike
Duffy’s housing claims under the red rug of the Senate chamber.
Duffy has lived in Ottawa for de-cades, � rst as a TV host and then senator, but he decided the rules were loose enough that he could claim his summer place in Prince Edward Island as his principal residence. An audit has also found he was claiming living expenses in Ottawa while campaigning for the Conservatives back east. It turns out the key ingredient in an honour system is honour.
This mess goes back more than a cen-tury in B.C. and Canada, and has its roots in the British Parliament, where MPs and Lords had a system of claiming all sorts of expenses, including construction of a “duck house” and maintenance of the moat around an Honourable Member’s castle.
Many years ago, British MPs convinced themselves that they were underpaid, and rather than create a public fuss by giving themselves a big raise, they would be able to top it up by claiming up to 250 pounds at a time without receipts. Cheers!
You can imagine how well that worked out. As one observer put it, the system was not only open to abuse, it was actually de-signed for it.
Here in B.C., the next step is obvious. If you go to the website of Alberta Premier Alison Redford, you can easily � nd the link to her detailed expense reports, item-ized for travel, meals, hotel rooms and so forth. Alberta cabinet ministers provide the same disclosure.
B.C. cabinet ministers’ travel expenses are now reported, but only as an occasion-al lump sum.
As a result of Doyle’s revelations last summer, B.C.’s Legislative Assembly Management Committee now meets in public, with transcripts of proceedings available. But MLA expenses are still not itemized. Total expenditures are being re-ported on a quarterly basis, but with no detail to explain why some MLAs have much higher totals than others.
It’s time to sweep out the cobwebs.
Shopping grass always greener
Canadians sick and tired of the Senate
We’ve all heard the lament of the lack of shopping in Salmon Arm. Well, we are not alone. I was speaking the other day to a professional who lives and works in Ver-non, and she asked, “How is the local economy in Salmon Arm?”
I replied that we are in a time of change, awaiting the arrival of new retail stores and so many folk. Her next com-ment � oored me. It was, “Yes,
it’s the same thing in Vernon. Everyone goes to Kelowna to do their shopping.
“As well, many of the downtown stores are now closed on Mondays. And, if you want to eat out on a Mon-day, you will � nd many of the restaurants are now closed on Mondays – and those who were open for three meals a day are now only open for two.”
The bottom line … we are
not alone in our lament of out-of-town shoppers. Per-haps it’s all about “the grass always looks greener on the other side of the fence.”
Perhaps our residents (and council) need to explore their own community.
Where we shop ensures lo-cal employment and allows families to thrive. Our future is reliant on our own support.
Margaret Davidson
Many Canadians, includ-ing myself, have been ask-ing for the abolishment of the very costly, appointed, ineffective senate for years with no results.
Canadians have also been asking our MPs for a complete review and pos-sible changes to our entire parliamentary system of government and the end of
costly ineffective policies such as of� cial bilingual-ism, equalization payments but also with no results. This lack of effort for de-cades by Ottawa to achieve changes has created the pos-sible threat of separation by Western Canadian provinces and territories to form a new country, possibly a Repub-lic of Western Canada with
a truly democratic and ac-countable system of govern-ment, but no one in Ottawa was listening. I’m not a sup-porter of the policies of the New Democratic Party, but their motion to abolish the Senate is good motion for the majority of Canadians.

Just how local is local food?
The shiny red tomato might be branded with a ‘local’ sticker, but that doesn’t necessar-ily mean it was grown anywhere near where you live. In fact, it might have come from Alberta – or, perhaps, Fort St. John.
With a new defini-tion put forward in May by the Canadian Food Inspection Agen-cy, the word ‘local’ has expanded its horizons.
Under its previous policy, the CFIA inter-preted the terms ‘local,’ ‘locally grown,’ or any similar term to mean that: the food originat-ed within a 50-kilome-tre radius of the place where it was sold or, the food sold originated within the same munic-ipality or adjacent gov-ernment unit.
In CFIA’s new in-terim policy, ‘local’ expands to: food pro-duced in the province or territory in which it is sold, or food sold across provincial bor-ders within 50 kilome-tres of the originating province or territory.
The expanded defini-tion of local is not be-ing embraced by all.
Jen Gamble with Shuswap Food Action, an organization that promotes a sustainable local food system, said it makes no sense to her.
“It’s almost a move that makes the word ‘local’ mean less. It also points to the fact consumers have to be more educated about what they’re buying.”
She said Shuswap Food Action has always worked on the general rule that a 45-minute drive from your home is local to you.
This new policy, she says, adds to the confu-sion for consumers and doesn’t serve the small producers. She said consumers shopping in bigger retail chains, in particular, may want to buy local, but don’t have time to do the re-search.
She said if she was going to speculate
on the reason for the change, it could be that the bigger interests are seeing ‘local’ as a valu-able word. Or, perhaps, the new definition cuts down on the CFIA’s en-forcement expenses.
Gamble urges people to contact CFIA, which states it will be consult-ing with consumers and industry on this and other labelling is-sues.
“One thing that I could potentially see as a benefit is it might spur on local groups to cre-ate local brands and in-crease activity of local producers within the region. It might make them mad enough to take some action.”
She adds that Shus-wap residents are good at supporting local growers. “I’m not sure this will change that. If anything, I would hope this will be a wake-up call to more residents and it will actually get better.”
At DeMille’s Farm Market, owner Brad DeMille said he thinks the new definition makes ‘local’ meaning-less. To him, he says, he considers that lo-cal goes about as far as Vernon. DeMille’s already does some site-specific labelling, he said, which he’ll increase now so that
customers know more about which town and which farm has pro-duced the food.
He said a lobby group of the large pro-ducers could certainly be pressuring the CFIA to change the rules.
In response to ques-tions from the Observ-er, a CFIA spokesper-son provided reasons for the change in an email:
“In Canada, food production and distri-bution has become in-creasingly large-scale and centralized. The previous policy was considered by some as too restrictive consider-ing that many consum-ers now live in cities that are quite a distance from farmland. Their view of what they con-sider ‘local’ food is now broader,” wrote
Elena Koutsavakis. “The CFIA wants
to strike the right bal-ance for industry and consumers. As a result, the CFIA has chosen to adopt an interim policy that provides sufficient flexibility to industry while enabling con-sumers to make an in-formed choice.”
David Askew, owner of Askew’s Foods, said his store considers the Shuswap/Thompson/Okanagan valleys as local.
He finds the new CFIA definition so broad that it dilutes the concept.
“It seems to me it’s kind of driven by the bigger chains who want to be able to say stuff is local. A narrow-er definition of local is more difficult for them. To me it indicates the
whole concept of local is catching on.”
He said Askew’s has already been doing more labelling of its lo-cal products.
“A lot of our custom-ers are certainly inter-ested in where things are grown and where they’re produced.”
Change: New definition means local food can come from Alberta.By Martha WickettOBSERVER STAFF
Confusion: Jen Gamble, with Shuswap Food Acton, says CFIA’s definition of local makes no sense to her and will make grocery shopping more difficult for people.

Rookie Shuswap rep-resentative Greg Kyllo will start his provincial political career getting his feet wet as an MLA.
In an announcement Friday, Kyllo, who had been touted by some as a candidate for a cabinet post, was not among those named to a direct portfolio by Christy Clark.
Greg Kyllo was named parliamentary secretary for the BC Jobs Plan reporting to Shirley Bond, the min-ister of Jobs, Tourism and Skills Training.
Clark says Kyllo will, “use his experience as a business owner to work with government
to update and continue implementing the BC Jobs Plan.”
Clark arranged a public ceremony on the Vancouver waterfront to unveil her new cabi-net lineup.
The event was a de-parture from the tra-dition of making the announcement at Gov-ernment House in Vic-toria.
The official swearing-in ceremony took place in Victoria on Monday, followed by the oaths of office for MLAs.
Kyllo will be jump-ing right into the fray, as Christy Clark told her MLAs to expect a rare summer session of the legislature in order to deal with urgent busi-
ness, including the pass-ing of the budget intro-duced by the Liberals in February. The session is expected to begin in late July.
He has also been named to the Treasury Board, the Cabinet Committee on Strong
Economy and the Cabi-net Working Group on Liquefied Natural Gas.
Former Shuswap MLA George Abbott, who recently retired from politics, held a number of cabinet posts including stints as the minister of health and minister of education. Abbott began his pro-vincial career on the opposition side of gov-ernment as a critic for municipal affairs and forests.
Clark named a to-tal of 19 people to her cabinet including both Kamloops MLAs. Ka-mloops-North MLA Terry Lake, formerly
minister of environ-ment, is now minister of health. Todd Stone, the rookie MLA for Ka-mloops-South Thomp-son, has been named minister of transporta-tion and deputy house leader.
The cabinet also in-cluded posts for veteran minister Rich Coleman, who becomes deputy premier and Mike de Jong, who was named minister of finance. Bond was named Jobs, Tourism, and Skills Training minister and minister responsible for Labour and Mary Polak was given the post of environment minister.

Profile of the weekA10 www.saobserver.net Wednesday, June 12, 2013 Salmon Arm Observer
Time OuTARIES (March 21-April 19): It was harder than ever for you to keep up with life’s demands. You felt that in order to maintain the status quo you had to deliver more of your abilities, which were not always on hand. This week you will regain the strength and the emotional security that you once thought as lost.TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Life threw you some curveballs where you have least expected. Wait no longer as you are about to get lots of help from individuals you partner up with. You are given another huge opportunity to redefine your goals in life and to regain self-confidence about your future.GEMINI (May 21-June 20): You are the lead actor in this week’s stellar play. So much energy is directed at you right now while giving you the chance to show your true potentials and talents. You will get to play a new role in your life which is based on solid values. Keep on shining!CANCER (June 21-July 22): A part of you operates behind the scenes and part of you is actively engaged into the world. The universe will help you strengthen your desire to be unique and independent from life’s limitations. That bite into life’s forbidden fruit is just so mouth-watering.LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): At times you felt ripped apart from your usual circle. The feeling of belonging to a certain entity wasn’t that obvious. You will start feeling that void filled out by your own efforts. You will realize that you don’t need anyone’s approval in order to succeed in your own endeavours.VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): You have a voice and a presence that no one can ignore. Validation comes through special connections you have built thus far. Improve your skills and you will defeat your competition. Fans are beginning to show appreciation for your personal involvement in a group.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Despite the fluctuations in your personal relationships, you aim to balance the energy surrounding your future goals. This week you are starting to see that your family values and your work life can coexist thus making it easier for you to maintain your status quo. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Everyday tasks and requirements have been quite handy for you lately. Your everyday routine seemed to be constantly interrupted by unusual circumstances. This uneven energy will be waived off by exploring your unique talents. Dare to live in the moment.SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Lifelong commitments have been more important to you lately. You don’t take anything or anyone at face value. This is why you show greater appreciation for the things that contribute to your wellness and which give you a better understanding of your psyche.CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): You find yourself in an amazing position right now. The universe is bestowing you with so much needed support that you will feel like a renewed conqueror. You will see fruitful results with those you come into contact with. Agreements are in your favour.AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Your ideas might have been tested at times which made you prove yourself more than once of your righteousness. Morality and justice play an important role in your life and you cannot function suitably unless these are fulfilled. Your achievements speak from themselves.PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Personal commitments have set an unstable vibe to your life. Resources were scarce and you had to fight hard for them. In light of these ambiguous matters, new romance makes you suddenly forget about your problems. You find your usual tempo through personal liberation.

FROM THE
Archives
1933 An invitation to St. Joseph’s church lawn social at Carlin’s in Tappen was extended to Salmon Arm people. Free boat service was offered from the wharf and return.
1943 One Saturday after-noon, eight of the � rst-year Salmon Arm Company of the Girls’ Life Brigade, in the uniform of Miss Canada Girls, sold war savings stamps in the local stores and the post of� ce. The sum of $142.50 was realized. The proceeds of this monthlong drive were to be used to supply four depth charges for the Royal Canadian Navy.Frank Farmer of� cially took over control of the Front Street Grocery from Ed Port. Miss Irene Chamber formerly of the Tappen Store, was to be store manager.Everard Clark, Vernon area supervisor of the Dominion-Provincial Emergency Farm Labor Service, outlined the seriousness of the farm labor problem. He said, in his speech at the annual meeting of the Associ-ation Boards of Trade of the Southern Inte-rior, that there would be a famine in Canada if this season’s crops were not harvested.
1953 It was decided that Salmon Arm’s drive-in theatre, under construction at the Larch Hill corner would be operated by the community association. The theatre would be completed and oper-ated by C.R. Hayter.
1963 An increase in the price of milk in Salmon Arm and Okanagan areas was to come in the near future. A boost of one cent a quart was expected. The local price was 25 cents per quart in the stores and for home delivery. The last price increase of two cents had taken place seven years previously, in 1956.A total of 6,600 boxes of strawberries were shipped from this area in 1963.

Telus enhances coverageTelus is investing $650,000 in Salmon Arm this year to expand wireless coverage for residents and businesses and bring what’s touted as the world’s fastest wireless technology, called 4G LTE, to the community.“Telus’ $650,000 investment means people and businesses right here in Salmon Arm will have more access to the Internet and enhanced wire-less services,” said Steve Jenkins, Telus general manager for the Southern Interior. By the end of 2013 TELUS states it will have invested $3 million in Salmon Arm since 2009.
No Frills gets setAn all-new store will be opening in the former location of the Real Canadian Wholesale Club in Centenoka Park Mall. Franchise owner Brad Housden, who managed the Wholesale Club –which closed Saturday– will be opening Brad’s No Frills on June 21. “It’s a great place to shop, better prices. We won’t be beat – that’s pretty much our motto,” he says. Staff will remain the same, but the store will look much different, with new freezers, new � ooring, new ceiling, new tills, etc. It will be open from 8 a.m. to 9 p.m. seven days a week.
Salmon Arm boostersA new brochure of the Salmon Arm Industrial Park, which features 81 businesses, is one of the promotional materials that Salmon Arm Economic Development is displaying at the North American Gas and Oil Expo in Calgary’s Stampede Park yesterday through Thursday. Economic development has partnered with Okanagan College and local businesses to showcase Salmon Arm at the expo that hosts more than 600 exhibiting companies and at-tracts 20,000 registered attendees.
Pedal for a causeFellow Sport Chek employees cheer on Nolan Romyn as he pedals a stationary bike for 200 kilometres to raise funds for the Canadian Tire-Sport Chek Jumpstart program, which helps fund sports activities for kids.

Mayes unconcerned by PMO monitoringNorth Okanagan-
Shuswap MP Colin Mayes won’t be delv-ing further into why he is one of 65 backbench MPs who the Privy Council Of� ce has been monitoring since April 2011.
“I really have not forcefully pursued this issue, but it is my un-derstanding that the PMO does track com-ments in the media by Members of the House of Commons as a re-source rather than for vetting or disciplinary review,” he wrote in an email to the Observer.
In an earlier inter-view when the moni-toring � rst came to light, he said he would be checking into it when he returned to Ottawa.
“Why I was one of the chosen to be on the list could be to see what is important to members regionally, or to resource messag-ing styles on issues that matter to Canadians,” he wrote on June 1.
Mayes added that during seven years as an MP, “I have only had two calls from the PMO referring to com-ments I have said.”
The monitoring came to light from a Liberal MP’s access to information request.
It showed that fed-eral government ex-penditures on media monitoring, govern-ment-wide, between April 1, 2011 and March 20, 2013 cost $23 million. The Privy Council Of� ce spent $2.4 million, which in-cluded keeping an eye on the 65 MPs.
Mayes (misspelled as Colin ‘Mays’) was listed as one of more
than 400 search terms Cision Canada Inc. was contracted to monitor.
At the time, Mayes said he’s not bothered by being watched.
“The public is al-ways monitoring me.
There are people out there who maybe don’t agree or who are criti-cal, sometimes looking for me at my weakest point. It doesn’t bother me at all. It you don’t like con� ict and don’t
want to live in a glass room, then don’t run for politics.”
The issue also came up recently as Edmon-ton MP Brent Rathge-ber has left the Con-servative caucus to
sit as an independent, saying that administra-tion isn’t transparent enough and tells back-benchers what to do.
“I don’t feel I’ve been compromised,” said Mayes.
“Any time there’s an issue of concern for my constituents, I get ac-cess to a minister.”
Mayes says he also recently voted against most of the Conserva-tive caucus on giving
provinces the author-ity to sanction extreme � ghting and there were no repercussions.

Whether you choose a traditional Father’s Day gift or a more original gift, it is important that your gift suit your father’s tastes as much as pos-sible.
Staying traditional is sometimes the best way to please some-one who is set in his ways. If this resembles your dad, the men’s clothing department is sure to have some-thing that will suit his personality. For example, a designer tie or a nice shirt is perfect for a father who enjoys men’s
fashions. The hard-ware store is another indisputable source of gift ideas for Father’s Day; it offers you an opportunity to com-plete your father’s tool collection, and show him that you are aware of his tastes and needs.
For those who want to offer a more per-sonal gift this Father’s Day, there are plenty of original gift ideas. While your gift is meant to please your father and prove your affection, it should suit his personality. For example, you can
Traditional or original, find the perfect gift!offer a good bottle of wine to be shared with the family meal. You can also invite him to a fine restau-rant in a friendly atmosphere — some-where that is out of the ordinary.
If your father enjoys sports, take advan-tage of this occasion to offer him a special outing that is rich in strong sensations. For example, he might enjoy the chance to drive a racecar around
a track. If your dad is the type to enjoy a great escape, initiate him into hot air bal-looning or paraglid-ing and offer him unforgettable memo-ries this Father’s Day.

Father’s Day SpecialKING CRAB$26.95PRIME RIB$24.95Brunch: 10 am - 1 pm$19.95 (Seniors $16.95)
Fathers and father-hood have become a particularly frequent topic of conversation in modern western society. It is a popular subject for researchers and professionals in various sectors such as health, education, social services, and justice, for public decision-makers, the media, and even for fathers and mothers themselves. The role of fathers has become the subject of a debate that is entirely unprec-edented in the history of our society. In fact, today we seem to be questioning father-hood somewhat like we questioned moth-erhood at the begin-ning of the 20th cen-tury: the father’s sta-tus and social role are now under scrutiny!
Being a father today means playing a role in society that is over-run with legal, moral, ethical, emotional, and psychological requirements and responsibilities. For example, it is no lon-ger just the social suc-cess of their child that sets the requirements and responsibilities that confront today’s fathers, it is also the welfare and universal development of all children. Being a father is being in a direct, precocious, and continuous rela-
tionship with one or more children. Being a father also means being in a relationship with the other adults who are directly responsible for the child; it means estab-lishing partnerships with the child’s moth-
er, educator, teacher, doctor, and others.
In short, being a father today is quite a challenge, and it should be recognized this June 17 on Father’s Day. Let’s pay homage to these men of every age who
must constantly adapt to the new realities of fatherhood.
Being a father today is quite a challenge!Ju

An involved father, a happy childWhat better time
than Father’s Day to celebrate fathers’ involvement with their children? Does your father bless you, or did he bless you, with his engaged pres-ence, his affection, and his support? Take the time to thank him. Just the opposite, your father was more absent, delegating this aspect of the relation-ship to your mother? Perhaps Father’s Day is a good opportunity to express your need to know him and to spend more time with him.
Studies increas-
ingly demonstrate that a father’s involve-ment promotes the full development of the child, whether the couple is living together or apart. If the importance of the mother goes without saying, the father’s role has been under-estimated for far too long.
In fact, his involve-ment should start from birth, even though it’s never too late to initiate a close-ness between a father and his children. It’s by tending to the baby’s needs, through games, cooing, or
rocking comfortingly, that an invisible but very strong bond is created between the newborn and the man who will become his role model and his security. From this privileged relation-ship, children will, among other things,
learn self-con� dence and autonomy, devel-op their identities as a men and women, and perfect their cognitive abilities and social skills.
Thank you to all involved fathers for those precious gifts!

Students work to gain support and place to meet
Problem-solving: Students Clayton Bayes and Reed Adronik, and teacher Wan-da Radies, meet with other students in their Okanagan College course.
Fitting in is challenging enough without adding dis-abilities to the mix.
But that’s exactly what members of an Okanagan College class deal with every day.
Adult Special Education Department teacher Wanda Radies teaches students who have a range of disabilities such as autism or Asperger’s, Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Dis-order, an intellectual disabili-ty, a brain/neurological injury
or a mental health disability.As well as learning about
their disabilities so they can speak up to get what they need to live the life they want, students study the history of disabilities and evolution of services.
“My students are curious as to why there is no self-advo-cacy group in Salmon Arm, complete with a paid advocate and a meeting place,” said Radies, noting the commu-nity used to have both at the old Shuswap Association for Community Living site.
To address their wish to cre-
ate a self-advocacy group and address their concerns, sev-eral of Radies’ students held a meeting June 3 at the Salmon Arm campus.
Students reported their con-siderable efforts in locating a space that will satisfy their needs and wants.
Chief among them are couches, a fridge, a hot plate or stove, a handicapped-accessible washroom and a place to hold business meet-ings.
Also of concern is the pref-erence for a downtown loca-tion and the cost to rent a suit-
able space.Human services workers, a
college � nance and account-ing teacher and other inter-ested participants added their input, which the students plan to consider – including what kind of advocacy group they wish to form.
As with most start-up groups, one of the main issues facing the students is money – where and how to get it.
The course ends June 17, but students plan to keep in touch over the summer with a goal to form their group by September.

The Salmon Arm Sockeyes left the Coast in their wake June 2, returning from the an-nual Coquitlam weekend swim meet.
The Sockeyes sent seven swimmers who all swam well.
Salmon Arm’s Chantel Jef-fery dominated the meet, smashing records in the 100-m individual medley, the 50-m freestyle, the 50-m butterfly, the 50-m backstroke and 100-m freestyle.
Tricia Fair took down the 50-m freestyle record, and swam her way to a best time in 100-m butterfly.
Claire Hall competed in her first 200-m IM and took home many personal bests. Great performances by E-J Kitchen, who swam a best time in her 50-m butterfly. Julianne Moore rocked her swims, earning her many best times and great re-sults in all her swims.
Scuba Steven Moore swam close to his best times and ranked phenomenally as did his brother Eric Moore, who took home a best time in the 50 free.
The Sockeyes put in a fan-tastic performance overall and are suiting up for a spectacular season.

Adam New’s skill at lacrosse has not gone unnoticed.
At 16, he has been signed by the Arm-strong Shamrocks’ Ju-nior B Lacrosse Team, which consists of 16- to 20-year-olds, and he plans to head to the Lower Mainland next year to play.
In his 11th year of lacrosse, New was no-ticed when his Shus-wap Outlaws midget team took gold in the Provincials last year.
The Delta organiza-tion invited him down for a conditioning camp. Although most of the 60 or so play-ers there had been try-ing out and training for about a month, New at-tended for just a week-end over spring break. However, he made his presence known, play-ing well and scoring two goals in one game.
He has been offered
a spot with Delta’s In-termediate A team, so he hopes to move to Delta for the second semester of Grade 12, where he will live with relatives and play with the team.
Asked how he feels about the opportunity, he smiles and says:
“Good, happy, ex-cited.”
New also plays hockey, which he will probably play again next season.
As for lacrosse, he says he likes the think-ing involved as well as the physical part of the game.
His plans at this point are “for a year I will play intermedi-ate with Delta. I might play Junior A if they ask me. Sometimes they might call you up during the intermediate season.”
And his long-term goal?
“NLL (National Lacrosse League), I guess,” he grins. “Go pro. You’re making next to nothing a year but it’s fun.”
Adam’s mom Patti says his family is real-ly proud of him and the success he’s achieved in a sport which sever-al of his relatives have
played. “He’s carrying on
the family tradition. My dad, my brothers, Adam’s cousin,” she says.

Catching Delta’s attention
Heading for victory: Mason McCune attempts to block the shot from Port Moody during the Shuswap Outlaws’ 9-3 win.
Outlaws claim third tourney winThe Shuswap Out-
laws Midget Lacrosse team was in Penticton this weekend for the an-nual Barn Burner Midg-et B Tournament.
Shuswap started out pool play on Friday evening with a 3-3 draw against the North Delta Hawks. On Saturday, the Outlaws scored wins over Port Moody 9-3 and the Coquitlam Adanacs 8-5. They en-tered the playoff round as the second-seeded team. In the tournament semifinal, Shuswap met up with North Delta again. The Outlaws used tight defence and timely scoring to defeat the Hawks 7-3 and ad-vance to the gold medal game.
In the tournament final, Shuswap met up
with the Prince George Posse who were seeded first entering the playoff round.
The first two periods were tight but Shus-wap showed their team depth and pulled away with four third-period goals to record a 10-5 win. The result gave the Outlaws their third tour-nament victory of the season.
With the playdowns for the BC Provincials approaching, coach Steve Sagh was opti-mistic.
“If we play that way in the provincial play-downs we should be all right.”
The Outlaws finish their TOMLA season this week with games against North OK and Kamloops.
Moving on: Adam New, who is currently playing lacrosse with the Armstrong Shamrocks, will head to Delta next year.

The “Ride Don’t Hide” fundraising bik-ing event supporting women’s mental health wheels out at 9:30 a.m. Sunday, June 23, from the Field of Dreams.
Ride Don’t Hide began in 2010, when a Vancouver school teacher living with bipolar disorder em-
barked on a global journey to cycle 40,000 kilometres, crossing six continents, and 33 countries, rais-ing funds for child and youth mental health programs for the Ca-nadian Mental Health Association.
As someone who understands the debili-
tating silence that ac-companies mental ill-ness � rsthand, Michael Schratter vowed to do his part to dispel the myths and misconcep-tions that stem from fear that fuels stigma.
Local cyclists are encouraged to join this year’s ride. The cost of the ride is $35 (those
14 and under are free). Visit www.ridedon-
thide.com to register as a team or independent rider. Participants may also start their own page to gain support for their ride. If you are unable to ride, you can still participate as a virtual rider or sponsor someone riding.

Two days, seven games, one champion-ship.
Shuswap Minor Football U14 Broncos captured a Consola-tion Championship at the 2013 BCCFA Flag Football Provincials.
This was the first year a Shuswap team attend-ed the event.
“It was a tremendous learning experience for all involved, the players and coaches,” remarked coach Rob Neid.
He said because it was the first time go-ing into the event, the strategy, the rules – ev-
erything was a bit un-certain.
The tournament started off with a round-robin format, where the Broncos won one and lost three games, ending up in the consolation round. However, then they went on to beat three teams, coming first on the consolation side.
“Every kid either scored a touchdown or threw a touchdown pass, so that’s pretty cool,” said Neid. “This year we knocked on the door, next year we knock it down.”

Some habits are hard to break. When Shelby Babakioff was a little girl pretending to be a singer, she had a necessary prop for a microphone.
“I had the remote control – and I still do when I practise,” she admits laughing. “It’s so lame.”
Now, instead of belting out Christina Aguilera, Jennifer Lopez or Jewel songs, Babakioff has a repertoire of her own and a debut single coming out this spring. The singer/song-writer’s style ranges from soft country to groovy R&B to a driving rock.
As much as she loved singing when she was growing up, it wasn’t the career she envisioned.
“My sister (Brittany) was the real talent. She was more the singer... I was always energetic and super hyper. I just loved twirling and dancing.”
Babakioff was also more into soccer and the school track team. But that changed when she got a leading role in a musical.
“In the school play, Footloose, I was Ariel – singing and dancing. I fell in love with the whole part.”
Already in high school, Babakioff was writing music and lyrics and decided then to pursue a singing career.
After graduation she went to Selkirk College in Nelson and talked her sister into joining her.
It was hard work, says Babakioff, taking 13 classes, working on weekends and doing gigs.
The students had a number of ‘showcases’ or public performances as part of their curriculum, and a lot of them put in the extra effort to make it more than a simple performance.
“For our ‘showcases’ we were using our talents to help other people. We were doing a lot of fundraising for churches and families who are less fortunate.”
Besides helping those local charities, Babakioff also helped raise money for Operation Smile, an organization which provides free medical procedures for children with facial deformities.
While she was in Nelson, Babakioff took part in a lot of gigs with a heavy rock band.
“We did Rush, Led Zeplin, Deep Purple, Pink Floyd –- I was a rocker chick. On the side as singer/songwriter, I was doing country, blues, jazz, roots and blues, and pop.”
Three years later, the 21-year-old had a diploma and was off to Vancouver with little money in her pocket but a lot of
determination fuelled by her dreams.“I got a serving job at Earls the third day in. I had a home
studio and I was writing and recording before my shifts. I was doing some modelling and go-go dancing on the week-ends, wearing crazy, sparkly, glittery costumes. It was fun but I worked too hard and got burned out. It was fast-paced and then I crashed.”
Babakioff was in Vancouver for eight months. During that time she was either working or sleeping; she didn’t have time for anything else.
“The first four months I loved and then I started to get anxious. I lost weight and I was super anxious.”
Babakioff came back to Salmon Arm. “I wasn’t even working, I couldn’t run. I
was 110 pounds. I had strep throat so I couldn’t sing. I was going through such a crappy period – a deep dark space.”
Her songwriting helped her deal with her emotions when she didn’t have the stamina to get out of bed.
“For about a year I was out of commission. My music got me out of that basically – and family of course.”
Now Babakioff smiles as she talks about ca-reer and the next steps. Her debut single, Whis-per in the Wind, will be released before the end of June.
“I’m sending it to Toronto to be mastered at the same studio as Jann Arden. I’m really ex-cited.”
Babakioff is planning a B.C.-based tour in August with Aimie Laws, and part of the tour proceeds will go to Operation Smile.
“I’m doing all my stuff and she’s doing her stuff and to-gether we’ll provide harmonies or backup vocals for each other. It’s my first official tour ever and the first time I’m do-ing keyboard for myself,” she says laughing.
After that, Babakioff says she’ll have to move where there’s more opportunity. It might be Toronto, New York or even Australia where there is “a killer music scene.”
But on the immediate horizon, Babakioff will be playing Saturday, June 28 at Brothers Pub in Sicamous and June 29 at The Last Drop in Revelstoke.
“It’s a lot of work,” she says referring to the amount of rehearsal time she is putting in. “Sometimes I don’t want to do it – I’d rather be out tanning, but then I get bored and I want to sing.”

From her heart and soul A familiar face in the
Salmon Arm business, community, Melanie Hart has a secret she will share this Sun-day in a concert at the Salmar Classic The-atre.
As well as a varied business life, Hart has been on a musical jour-ney that includes na-tional and international TV appearances, an ap-pearance at an interna-tional Opera House on the Black Sea, speak-ing and singing tours to places as diverse as Parliament Hill, inter-national prisons and homeless shelters.
Employed in a bank where an executive told her she has “one of the coolest resumes,” Hart embarked on “a walk of courage,” out of the bank and back into business and music.
Hart says her musi-cal talent and world
journeys have sur-prised many, who have asked why she doesn’t perform in her home-town.
“It’s just the right time and the right sea-son of my life to share the girl I am with my community, family and friends,” she says. “This concert is truly a celebration of a life renewed and restored. It’s the start of a new thing – again.”
Hart is referring to her first album, A New Thing, released in 2005. Her second al-bum, Good Jesus, was released in 2007 and her most recent record-ing is for the family of Eric Rand, a young boy who passed away suddenly in November 2009.
In her concert, Hart hopes to combine the intimacy of a family-like gathering with a
first-class performance.Her concert will
showcase beautiful ful-ly-orchestrated tracks and debut some unre-
corded and recent ma-terial using the piano.
Undeterred by a comment she heard about inspirational music not being mar-ketable at Canada’s Gospel Music Awards a few years ago, Hart says her music is not about awards and fame.
“I’m writing and singing music that
cuts to a deeper level. I have boxes of letters and notes and emails to prove it.”
Ever since perform-ing her Broken Hal-lelujah to an audience attending a human traf-ficking awareness eve-ning in January 2012, Hart has set her sights on performing at the Salmar Classic.
She says music is a powerful way to deliv-er inspiration – a pour-ing out of her heart and soul, an offering of a musical journal of life.
Pre-concert tickets are $10 for adults and $5 for children and are available at Bond Bou-tique, Victorian Im-pressions and the Drop Zone Weight Loss and Wellness Centre. Adult tickets will be $15 at the door.
The concert takes place at 4 p.m. Doors open at 3.

Salmon Arm so-prano Stephanie Na-kagawa has sung in many places for many reasons.
And now, the talent-ed young singer will sing for all of North America at the 104th annual Rotary Interna-tional Convention that takes place this month in Lisbon, Portugal.
The convention will also be hosting the second International Rotary Opera Con-test, which will bring together young opera singers from around the globe.
The competition committee received auditions from appli-cants from more than 30 countries.
They have chosen 24 opera singers to compete in the second round in Lisbon.
These singers will perform on the stage of the Lisboa Opera House, the Teatro Na-cional de São Carlos.
Not only was Nak-agawa the only Cana-
dian chosen to com-pete in Lisbon, she is the only singer chosen from North America.
The goal of the con-test is to provide an international platform
for the promotion of young, talented sing-ers in the extremely competitive world of opera and to serve as a stimulus for their endeavours to pursue successful careers as professional singers.
Singers who make it to the final round will have the opportunity to perform with the Or-questra Sinfónica Por-tuguesa.
Nakagawa will be representing and sponsored by Rotary District 5060, which includes all the Rotary clubs in the Shuswap area.
A Salmon Arm Secondary grad, Na-kagawa earned her doctorate of music in voice at Indiana Uni-versity, studying with Prof. Costanza Cuc-caro, who enjoyed an
international career in major opera houses around the world.
Nakagawa complet-ed her master’s degree at Indiana University, having received her bachelor of music de-gree in opera from the University of British Columbia, where she was awarded the UBC Medal.

Baxter Fulton’s Celebration of Life
A heart-felt “thank you” to everyone who attended Baxter’s Celebration of Life on
Friday, June 7, 2013. Many of you came a long distance. Th ank you to everyone who contributed to the wonderful memories of Baxter. It was his wish that it would be a joyful and fun-fi lled occasion rather than a sad one. Th ank you also to everyone who contributed and helped serve the lunch. Th ank you to Baxter’s brother Ken and wife Linda who were the emcees. Also, to my son Kelly and our granddaughter Jennica for the fantastic presentation of Baxter’s life on screen and in music. You ALL made it an occasion that Baxter would have been proud of. Baxter was a very special person and I feel honoured to have been married to him for almost 57 years. I will always miss him.
