Some of the mystery lingering over a 2011 gangland-style killing in Blind Bay was lifted at a Kelowna press conference Monday morning, where Mounties announced a significant break in the case.
Williams lake resident Jeremy Wayne davis, 24, and Mission resident Jordan larry Barnes, 27, were arrested last week and each face a charge of second-degree murder for the death of Sorrento man, nicholas cole larsen.
“The Southeast district Major crime unit led the investigation which deter-mined that larsen, 24, was shot while travelling in a friend’s vehicle in what appeared to be a targeted attack,” said Insp. Terry Kohlhauser, RcMP South-east district senior investigating offi-
cer, at the Kelowna press conference.
In the investigation into who killed larsen and what their motivation may have been, it was revealed that there had been a dis-pute in Sorrento between two groups of men a cou-ple of hours before the shooting.
At some point after that argument, the vehicle in which larsen was riding was forced off the road by another also travelling on Blind Bay Road, said Kohlhauser.
An occupant of the suspect vehicle then allegedly opened fire and multiple bullets riddled the vehicle in which larsen was riding.
The man who loved ones described
as a “big guy with a big heart” was hit several times and succumbed to his injuries shortly there-after on a nearby friend’s property.
Kohlhauser said one of the two men arrested this week was an acquaintance of larsen, but didn’t iden-tify which one. He also wouldn’t go into the na-ture of the argument be-tween the parties involved.
He did say the crime was not gang- related, despite appearances otherwise. Rumours that the crime was motivated by the drug trade were also not ad-dressed.
Although the arrest can’t dull the
Teachers’ job action escalates
The ongoing job action by teachers, which is now a full-scale strike, continues to make waves across School district #83.
On Monday, teachers and their supporters from throughout the district were in Salmon Arm. carrying picket signs and banners, they walked through downtown, stopping at the school dis-trict office, as well as that of Shuswap MlA Greg Kyllo, to make themselves heard.
The full-scale strike began on Tuesday, with teachers seeking smaller class sizes, more class-room support and a pay raise.
Over the weekend, the Bc Teachers Federation (BcTF) dropped their wage demands to eight per cent over five years from the previous 9.75 over four plus annual cost-of-living adjustments.
The Bc Public School employer’s Association (BcPSeA) proposed a wage increase of 7.25, up from their initial offer of seven per cent, but a deal could not be reached in time to avert the strike. each side is saying it’s up to the other to decide if a deal can be reached or not.
In anticipation of the potential strike, students packed up their belongings on Friday – quite pos-sibly the last school day of the year.
Although classes are currently cancelled, School district #83 issued a statement that grad-uation ceremonies and provincial exams will

pain of losing their son, Shelley and Bo Larsen said news of the arrest brought them feelings of “peace and elation” for the first time in three years. It did not, however, bring forgive-ness for those accused.
“The reckless, cal-culated decision to murder Nick over something as trivial as a verbal confrontation has forever changed the lives of so many inno-cent people,” said Shel-ley, to her son’s alleged killers.
“We believe you are exactly where you de-serve to be.”
Bo offered thanks to
the investigative team that made the arrests, as well as the community who supported the fam-ily as they dealt with their loss.
“This has been a long, long journey, and I’ve seen the pain in my family’s eyes and felt it in their hearts,” said Bo.
He previously de-scribed his son to the Salmon Arm Observer as a “big guy, with a big heart.”
“He was a very sensi-tive guy, very sensitive and trusting. So much so that you’d have to talk to him, tell him that not everyone’s the same, that people can take advantage. Every-one else always came
first with him,” he said in 2011.
Bo said his son loved animals and the out-doors, but his first pri-ority was his family. He had a special fondness for his young nieces, liking to spoil them with presents and out-ings.
“He was loved by all. His humour and per-sonality were next to none. I’ve never known him to go out and harm someone. I don’t care who you talk to, they’ll tell you the same thing.”
Davis, who was ar-rested in Williams Lake, was scheduled to make his first court ap-pearance on Monday in a Kamloops courtroom.
Barnes, who was ar-rested in Kelowna the day after Davis was apprehended, was also scheduled to answer to the charges on Monday.
go ahead as planned; however, report cards will not be issued as they have not been declared an essential service.
Graduating students at Salmon Arm Sec-ondary are still con-cerned about missing the last few weeks of their high school years.
“It definitely affects my study habits,” said Madeleine Genn, a Grade 12 student.
Genn says that most teachers use every day to teach their students information that is vi-tal to final exams, and that not having the time messes with the
students’ learning.Jamie Oosterhuis,
who is also graduating from SAS, said she and her peers are upset.
“We think that the teachers deserve the best, but them walk-ing out on us during the most crucial time of the year really com-promises not only our learning, but our final grades as well,” said Oosterhuis.
“I personally feel that the government, along with the teach-ers, could find a better way to resolve their issues than creating more problems for the students.”
Grade 12 student Ariana Sholinder says she has mixed feelings
about the dispute, and where it has left gradu-ating students.
“I do support the teachers, but it’s been really hard to have so much uncertainty in my last couple weeks of my high school ca-reer,” said Sholinder. “It’s demoralizing.”
Parents of students
in School District #83 have also been voicing their opinions on the matter.
Christina Peake and Kerrie Hollatz showed up to picket alongside teachers at Hillcrest Elementary on Thurs-day, June 11.
Peake said she thinks the media has been unfairly portray-ing the teachers’ side of the dispute.
“It’s not about the money,” said Peake. “It’s about class sizes and composition.”
Peake and Hollatz said they fully support the teachers.
“The kids are our fu-ture, how can you not be in support?” asked Peake.

Fire crews were called out Friday night to fight a fully engulfed residential structure fire in the area of the Friesen Business Com-plex on the Mellor’s Frontage Road, but the structure was a total loss.
The fire call-out took place at approximately 8:42 p.m. and crews worked until just after midnight.
“The 911 calls came from people on the highway. The fire went up very rapidly and was fully involved when fire crews from the Ranchero Firehall arrived,” said Kenn Mount, CSRD fire ser-vices co-ordinator.
Approximately 20 firefighters from the Ranchero Firehall responded and the Salmon Arm Fire De-partment assisted by supplying one water
tender truck to supple-ment the water capa-bilities of the area.
The structure was a complex of rental units, made up of some older mobile trailer units linked together with a roof structure. All the units were va-cant at the time of the fire.
A few adjacent trees caught fire and were extinguished, but the fire was not allowed to spread to any other nearby structures. There was minor dam-age to a mini-van that was parked in front of the blazing structure.
“The joined roof certainly complicated the firefighting condi-tions,” said Mount. “It was a total loss, low in terms of actual dollar value, but the owner had no insurance cov-erage.”
Mount said one fire-fighter had to be treat-ed for minor smoke inhalation, but there
were no other issues.In addition to fire
crews, police, BC Am-bulance, gas and hydro workers were all on scene.
Mount says the cause of the blaze is currently undetermined.
“We couldn’t even really get in there to in-vestigate, as there was too much destruction, it was unsafe to even go into the area. The
fire was the most in-tense on the west side and we are still hear-ing from witnesses, but right now we have no probable cause.”
Mount compliment-ed the efficient work of the Ranchero firefight-ers.
“They did a really good job controlling the scene, I was really impressed with that,” he said.

Accused drug smuggler appeals extradition
The Shuswap man believed by American authorities to be a cross-border drug kingpin has been granted bail pend-ing the appeal of his ex-tradition to Seattle.
Colin Hugh Martin was granted bail in Van-couver last week while his extradition is ap-pealed.
In May, a B.C. Su-preme Court judge ruled Martin should be sent to the U.S. to face charges for conspiracy to traffic in cocaine.
U.S. prosecutors al-lege Martin, who lives in Malakwa, ran a so-phisticated, large-scale smuggling ring that saw millions of dollars worth of marijuana, cocaine, MDMA and firearms transported by helicopter between B.C. and remote locations in northern Idaho and Washington state.
Court heard Martin would hire people in B.C. to load the heli-copters with as much as $5-million worth of marijuana or MDMA, then pay pilots to fly the choppers to pre-deter-
mined locations across the U.S.-Canada border. The haul of B.C. bud or pills would allegedly be unloaded by a ground crew in the U.S., and cocaine, firearms and money would be loaded into the helicopter for transport back to Can-ada.
The U.S. Drug En-forcement Agency investigation into the operation resulted in multiple arrests on both sides of the border.
American prosecu-tors have charged Mar-tin with conspiracy to possess with the intent
to distribute.They want him to
stand trial in Seattle.Martin was arrested
after he was ordered ex-tradited on May 9. He was granted bail largely because of the health of his wife, who has a heart condition, and her inability to care for the couple’s seven children.
Martin has been or-dered to abide by a 10 p.m. to 5:30 a.m. cur-few while on bail and will be forced to allow police to search his home at any time.
It’s not known when his appeal will be heard.

Officials from the BC SPCA removed an-imals from a residence at 910 Okanagan Ave. Thursday afternoon.
At least three dogs and approximately 12 animals crates contain-ing cats and possibly other small animals were brought out of the home and loaded into multiple white trucks. The animals were taken to the Shuswap SPCA shelter for care and examination.
It is not known why the animals were re-moved from the home. The Salmon Arm RCMP indicate they were in attendance as the animals were seized as a precaution to keep the peace.
“We are still pro-cessing animals, so there’s not much I can tell you at this point,” said Kathy Woodward,
senior animal protec-tion officer for the Inte-rior. “We’ll know more once we get everyone checked out.”
A veterinarian was also on-site at the time the animals were seized.
Lorie Chortyk, a BC SPCA spokesperson, told the Observer that the investigation is on-going and she can not
speak further at this time.
She explained that in situations where animals are seized, the SPCA will give the owners a chance to rectify the situation by following the animal protection directives.
On their website, the BC SPCA indicates it is the only animal welfare organization
in the province that has the authority to en-force laws relating to animal cruelty and to recommend charges to Crown counsel.
Despite the Observ-er having contacted the owners and attempt-ing to speak with them several times regarding the situation, an inter-view has not yet taken place.

Editorial
The recent tragedy in Moncton, where three Mounties were allegedly murdered by a local resident, is far from being resolved.
Yes, a suspect surrendered after a manhunt that paralyzed the city for more than 24 hours, in an incident eerily similar to the pur-suit of the Boston Marathon bombers.
But the Moncton issue is just getting started. Sadly, this case will be open for a long time, despite the plethora of witnesses, and video evidence. Should be cut-and-dried, no? Not in Canada. Pity.
This case will be dragged out in court, no doubt costing the taxpayers millions of dol-lars. We’ve seen it all before, far too often.
There is the 2011 Stanley Cup riot in Van-couver. There are accused in that incident
that have still not had their day in court!In comparison, there was a similar riot in
the streets of London, in August of 2011. Within four days of those riots, more than 1,000 rioters had been charged, and sen-tences were being handed out within a week. Section 11 of the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms ensures of the right to a fair and speedy trial.
“Speedy” is indeed a relative term. Even a melting glacier does so at a speed.
Do we have the worst judicial system in the world? Of course not. Far from it.
But it’s far from the best, either.And for those seeking closure in Moncton,
that day will not come anytime soon.-Comox Valley Record
Justice moves at glacial pace
Ride beats down stigmaShame thrives in dark corners and in whispered remarks. It plays on our biggest fears: rejection, isolation, unworthi-
ness. It festers in a place where people feel they are going to be looked upon by others and judged harshly or found to be personally inadequate. Shame lives in the shadows, it weighs on people’s minds like a heavy stone.
It doesn’t thrive in the presence of light, fresh air, sunshine and movement. It is beaten back when groups of people gather, unafraid to make a statement. It gets run down by the power of many feet pushing their bike pedals.
This is the spirit of the Ride Don’t Hide event, which is being held Sunday, June 22 in Salmon Arm.
Sponsored by Shoppers Drug Mart and hosted by the Cana-dian Mental Health Association, the community bike ride has the goal of strengthening and supporting the mental health of women and their families. Each community event is a ride, not a race, for riders of all ages and abilities – from novice rider to the advanced cyclist.
In addition to enjoying the physical and mental health ben-efits of exercise, riders help break the stigma associated with mental illness by joining others to make a statement that mental illness is not something for people to be ashamed about.
According to the CMHA, one in five Canadians will suffer from a mental illness in their lifetime. Suicide, the most ex-treme outcome of mental illness, accounts for 24 per cent of all deaths among people aged 15 to 24, and is one of the leading causes of death from adolescence to middle age.
Another telling statistic is that only one-third of those who need mental health services in Canada actually receive them.
I know people often don’t want to admit they are struggling and how hard it can be to ask for help with mental illness. I was one of them.
That’s why I so admired Michael Schratter, a Vernon teacher who has struggled with bipolar and who began his own Ride Don’t Hide 40,000 kilometre biking crusade to raise both funds and awareness for mental illness. He put himself and his is-sues out there and, in doing so, let people know that he is not ashamed and others should not be either.
The event is Salmon Arm begins at the Little Mountain Sports Fields and consists of a 10-km family ride or a 32-km cyclist ride. Registration begins at 8 a.m. with the longer-distance cy-clists pushing off at 9 a.m. and the family riders heading out at 9:45. Street routes will be marked at supported by volunteers, including water stations. Presentations will be made at 11 a.m.
Fees are $35 and include a T-shirt. Kids 12 and under can ride for free. Other donations and pledges are encouraged and more information can be found on the web at www.ridedon-thide.com.
Funds raised will support programs in our area. Joining the ride would help show that you care about mental health and as-sist people in getting care and support in their recovery.

View PointThe Observer asked: What do you love about your dad?
Elysa Aldridge“He brings me out for dinner on my birthday.”
Alexis Korhan“He always packs my lunch and cleans my room.”
Hayden Koroluk “When I go to bed he gives me a goodnight kiss”
Jilly Koroluk “Because he makes me breakfast.”
Joseph Price “Because he is very special and we have the same name”
VICTORIA – “Liberal” is becoming one of the most ill-defined words in Ca-nadian politics.
Here in B.C., a Liberal is a Conser-vative, or at least a fiscal conservative, bent on balancing budgets and battling big unions to force them to recognize today’s world of low growth and low inflation.
In Ottawa, a Liberal is currently whatever Justin Trudeau wakes up and decides. One day he’s a libertarian who wants to legalize marijuana, and the next he’s in touch with his inner Taliban, issuing a moral edict on abortion.
In Ontario, Premier Kathleen Wynne saved her gut-shot Liberal government by limping to the left of the NDP, prom-ising to spend lots more borrowed mon-ey and build lots of transit.
This is in a have-not province with an operating deficit that is currently running north of $12 billion. For com-parison purposes, B.C.’s deficit swelled briefly beyond $3 billion in the wake of the Great Recession of 2009, and the books stayed in the red until last year as the B.C. Liberals unwound the Harmo-nized Sales Tax and repaid a $1.6 billion HST transfer allowance to Ottawa.
You think B.C.’s energy policy is a disaster? Check out Ontario, where the cops are still investigating the $1 billion cancellation of plans to construct two natural gas-fired power plants before the 2011 election. The gas plants were to stabilize erratic output from wind and solar power, a European-style climate change gesture that involved Ontario ratepayers giving a huge subsidy to Ko-rean tech giant Samsung.
The Ontario Liberals clung to power in part by promising a provincial pen-sion scheme on the same scale as the Canada Pension Plan.
B.C. has a similar pension program in
the works, to be offered to the two thirds of small business and self-employed people who don’t have a group plan with their employer. Ours would, of course, be voluntary.
Not so in Ontario, where large and small businesses will be required to cough up half of the required pension payments.
The Ontario model is dumb on sev-eral levels. It is to be imposed just as the baby boom retirement wave breaks across Canada’s most populous prov-ince, increasing risk that the pension pool may run dry. And it sticks small business with a new payroll tax in a province that has lost much of its tradi-tional manufacturing base and needs to innovate.
Here’s the funny part, if you don’t live in Ontario. Wynne tabled her spending-spree, deficit-be-damned budget in an effort to convince the NDP to keep propping up the Liberal minority gov-ernment and avoid an election.
Instead, she won a majority and now has to implement her pie-in-the-sky promises. Ontario is bracing for a down-grade in its credit rating based on the election result, and is about to go into province-wide bargaining with public service unions who want their share from the Liberal money tree.
Ontario Progressive Conservative leader Tim Hudak ran on a plan that sounded similar to the one presented by Christy Clark in 2013: hold the line on spending, balance the budget, reduce the size of government, stimulate job creation. Hudak was rejected for a sec-ond time, and resigned the leadership on election night.
B.C. voters now have three years to see how the Ontario version of Liberal government plays out, compared to the B.C. Liberal version.
For us, much depends on resource development, including forest products, natural gas and other trade with Asia.
If all goes well here, B.C. can con-tinue to send transfer payments to the fantasyland of Ontario.

We were moved by the dedication of the RCMP officers in Moncton a few weeks ago. Our hearts go out to the families and co-workers of those who made the ultimate sacrifice. We quickly thought of the many RCMP officers in our town of Salmon Arm and wanted to take the opportunity to thank them for their service – ev-eryday – day in and day out. The commitment they have made to our safety, and the safety of all of our fellow residents, whether these residents appreciate them and what they do . . . or not. We can rest assured that no matter what, if the need is there, they will come and do all they can to pre-
serve the peace, bring peace, protect and serve us in so many ways.
We want to thank the RCMP officers of Salm-on Arm for their dedication and commitment. And we want to thank their spouses and families for letting them go – every day – to serve and protect our community. Our prayers are with you that you may be safe, that you may have wisdom in the many situations you must face and that you know you are appreciated when you head out for the day – every day.

It is most unfortunate the majority of the teach-ers in B.C. are such militant workers. They say it is for the good of the students but that is a bunch of B.S. They are only interested in themselves. They work about two-thirds of the year as op-posed to the average worker in B.C., having a week or two off in March, a week or two at Christmas and two months in the summer and they think they are underpaid. Well, they ought to open their eyes and take a close look at the other side. These people know, or should, the pa-rameters of a vocation before they decide on their future like anyone else who decides on a career.
The worst thing that ever happened was to give
teachers the right to strike. It is an essential ser-vice to our children and teachers should assume more responsibility toward them and parents.
Fortunately, I am retired and don’t have grand-children in school but if I was a parent and my child was supposed to graduate this year and be-cause of the teachers’ position, I would sue them if my child was jeopardized. We had no problem with class sizes and everyone seemed to learn and receive the education we needed to continue our careers.

Ontario election lessons as they apply to B.C.
Recently I have been noticing some articles and ads with City of Salmon Arm and Econom-ic Development logos joined with Telus logos that are causing me concern.
I do not understand why the city and ec-dev are touting the benefits of Telus fibre optics coming to town and favouring an out-of-town company over local companies that offer com-parable services. The Telus fibre optics are not going out to the reserve or outlying neighbour-hoods without broadband services, so they are not servicing any areas that are not already well-served by local companies. Will Telus contribute to our local economy the way Shaw (previously SunCountry Cable) and the other smaller local telecommunication companies do? Shaw contributes to many local initiatives, most notably the Shaw Centre. Additionally, Shaw Cable, Mascon Cable, Airspeed Wire-less, and several other local companies have offices in town, employ many local residents,
and contribute in numerous ways to our local economy.
As far as I know Telus has no local office and employs only three full-time employees. Is this what we want for Salmon Arm?
Do our local officials know enough about the Internet infrastructure and services already in place to determine that Telus will offer some better service to us? Do they know Sun Coun-try Cable placed fibre throughout Salmon Arm years ago? Have they done their due diligence regarding who contributes most to our commu-nity?
As a retired businessman I understand the benefit and importance of competition, but how does it benefit our community, or local busi-nesses, for our local leaders to stand behind out-of-towners over local businesses that have been operating in the area for over 35 years?

After attending an open house in North Canoe, Mayor Nancy Cooper said she thinks the city might have been remiss in not asking enough questions of the public before planning new playground equip-ment for Jackson Park in Canoe.
Cooper was address-ing the June 16 meeting of the city’s planning committee.
“I’m bringing it back to you to see what we could do about it...”
The old equipment was removed because it no longer met national safety standards. The new equipment, worth about $74,000 and to be installed this month, is non-traditional, includ-ing a canoe, a ‘lake’ and rocks with a climbing rope, designed to en-hance imaginative play.
City staff explained the park upgrade has been on the books since 2012 and then went through the parks mas-ter plan process, where numerous consultations were held with groups. Further consultation was done in the fall of 2013.
Couns. Debbie Can-non and Ken Jamieson said the open house on June 5 would have been better scheduled before the equipment was or-dered. However, they weren’t aware the open house wasn’t intended to be about the park.
Canoe resident Lou-ise Wallace Richmond,
a member of the board which runs the Down-town Activity Centre in Salmon Arm and the North Canoe Hall committee, told the Ob-server the open house was held to gather input on improvements to the hall, across the street from the park.
“The only reason they hosted the open house is because the Downtown Activity Centre wanted to engage the commu-nity in a conversation about what to do with the hall now that we’re getting a new park. It wasn’t about the new park... ‘While we’re here, this is what the park’s going to look like, what should we do
with the hall?’”However, that led to
strong complaints from some people – mainly about the wish for a slide, swings and more seating – and about lack of consultation.
Wallace Richmond said she thinks the city could have done a better job of explaining to the neighbourhood why the old park had to go, but that’s now a moot point.
She emphasizes her approval of council’s wish to invest in Canoe.
“I want the city to know we care that they care about Canoe.”
After discussion at Monday’s meeting, council agreed to con-sider the addition of
a slide and swings in the next budget year, if there’s room in the park.
Jamieson added he always favours finding more ways to consult.
Although Cooper suggested staff investi-gate prices, Coun. Marg Kentel said to wait for budget time.
“There are people who come forward all the time and we’re not Santa Claus here,” said Kentel. “I’m all for Canoe getting more, I think they’ve been left out in some way...
“I’m fine with the process, I think council did it exactly right. I’ve sat here long enough to know you can’t make everybody happy.”

The Shuswap Com-munity Foundation is seeking public input for a Vital Signs Report.
The foundation has gathered information from various sources including community businesses in the Shus-wap and government statistical reports.
Residents are now invited to grade the area on such key issues as the environment, the gap between rich and poor, ease of mobility and more in a short sur-vey available online at www.shuswapfounda-tion.ca.
“The survey is meant to be the opinions of the general public as to how we’re doing on various issues in this community,” says foundation vice-pres-ident Karen Angove, who notes residents of
Salmon Arm, Sicamous and Electoral areas C South Shuswap, D Sil-ver Creek/Ranchero, E Rural Sicamous and F North Shuswap are en-couraged to have their say.
She calls the survey a starting point, a way to discover what problems exist in the Shuswap and how the foundation might be able to fund projects related to areas in need.
Angove says the process has been a real (and not always pleas-ant) eye-opener.
“A lot of issues are hidden – homelessness with young people, not necessarily on the street because they’re couch surfing,” she says. “We had a community meet-ing with the safe house and they told us that spousal abuse, elder abuse and child abuse are up, and that rapes increase in the sum-mer.”
Angove maintains a community that is aware of its strengths and weaknesses can be-come a stronger, health-ier place.
Three questions to keep in mind as you re-spond to the survey are:
1. When you picture a healthy, connected community, what stands out?
2. What is our com-munity doing well? What is working? What do you love about our community?
3. Where are the op-portunities for improve-ment?
Not only is the sur-vey expected to yield detailed statistical data, the subsequent report will provide a subjec-tive sense of the Shus-wap’s vitality as it re-lates to 10 key issue areas.
This is not a test of knowledge, only a way for the foundation to measure people’s opin-ions and perceptions and see how they line up with scientific data.
Residents are asked to complete the survey by June 30.
To learn more contact the Shuswap Commu-nity Foundation office at 250-832-5428 or email [email protected].

Being deaf or hard of hearing can no doubt be a struggle, but for one Salmon Arm Sec-ondary Student, it has become something she embraces.
Grade 12 student Kennedy Gerlitz, re-cently took part in the Optimist International Communication Con-test for the Deaf and Hard of Hearing in April. Gerlitz brought home second place.
Gerlitz was required to give a speech on the topic of passions and how they impact the world.
She focused on talk-ing about her own pas-sion, which is eating healthy, being active and having a positive body image.
“Passion is what helps you go through life,” say Gerlitz. “It’s what makes you hap-py.”
Her performance gained her the chance
to compete at a higher level of the competition in Oregon on May 19, where she scooped up second place.
Gerlitz has been competing for the past four years, but this year is the first time she has placed so high.
“It’s a weird feel-ing, and a good feel-ing,” said Gerlitz. “I’ve been doing this for four years, it’s been a lot of practise.”
Gerlitz said the best part about competing is the people she meets.
Gerlitz said the toughest part of deal-ing with being deaf and hard of hearing is that
some people don’t al-ways understand what people can and can not hear.
“We grow up in a hearing environment, and some people don’t understand,” said Ger-litz. “It can be difficult, but I’ve learned to em-brace it and use it.”
Now that her compet-ing days are behind her, Gerlitz will be fulfill-ing her passion as she graduates and heads to university in human ki-netics.

Two more people have joined the race for the Conservative Party of Canada candidacy for the Okanagan Shuswap riding in anticipation of the 2015 election.
Scott Anderson of
Vernon and Janet Green of Lumby announced their intentions last week, joining Salmon Arm businessperson Mel Arnold in the race to replace Colin Mayes, who will retire as MP
once his term is over.Anderson is a long-
time Okanagan resi-dent, business owner, and commissioned of-ficer in the Canadian Forces Reserves. He owns a corporate com-
munications business and is a lifelong conser-vative with experience in politics at all three levels of government.
“It’s crucial that the candidate who is ulti-mately chosen be a true
conservative with the credentials to prove it, and not simply some-one looking for a job.”
Green moved to Lumby in 2005 after 35 years in adminis-trative positions with
Vancouver General Hospital and the Van-couver Coastal Health Authority. She has been active with both the federal and provincial Conservative parties and served a term on
Lumby council.“People need a voice.
Ottawa is a long way away and they need someone they can ap-proach,” she said. “I will... speak loudly on their behalf.”

Dare to dream: (Clockwise from top) Luminaries light the way along the Relay for Life track June 14; cancer survivors and caregivers walk the victory lap; three-year-old Rylee Nunn dances on-stage; Leif Saba participates in a 5 a.m. zumba session; Lizzie Harbaruk, a � ve-year-old survivor, lights up the track with her smile; survivors and their caregivers � ll the stage at Elks Hall,
headquarters for the 2014 event. Despite being down 10 teams from last year, Salmon Arm’s relay raised in ex-cess of $120,000, with more coming in. An exhausted but elated Jen Dies, Canadian Cancer Society co-ordina-tor of community giving, said she was shocked and amazed at the way the Shuswap community responds every year. Among the most touching aspects of the event for Dies was the large number of survivors and caregivers who showed up despite a torrential downpour.

A spot of teaA vast array of tea and spices will soon be available in Downtown Salmon Arm.Diana Shaw has recently moved from Calgary to Salmon Arm to settle down and open her business: The Tea and Spice Shoppe.Located on Alexander Street, it will offer more than 80 varieties of loose-leaf teas, cooking spices, natural candles and coffee. It will also feature hot tea that customers can take to go.
Teachers in trainingYoga lovers will be able to dive a little deeper into the practice.Nancy Whitticase, who has been doing yoga for 18 years, will be hosting the Namaste School of Yoga out of her studio, Namaste Yoga and Wellness Centre. The school will consist of a 200-hour practice that will allow participants to become certified yoga teachers. Whitticase says not everyone who registers for the school will do so because they want to teach.“Some people do it to get a little deeper in their practice. It’s for anybody that wants to know about themselves.”The teacher training will begin in October.
DeMille’s adds artisansPainted wine glasses, scarves made of alpaca wool and hand-crafted jewelry are just some of the things you can find at the new Artisan Craft Market at DeMille’s Farm Market.The market is comprised of 16 different artisan vendors and their unique items, who have set up at DeMille’s for the summer season. Each of the artisans have a unique booth for their craft, and some of them have travelled as far as Kelowna to set up shop. The market is open until the end of August, seven days a week from 10:30 a.m. until 5:30 p.m.

Saturday’s thunderstorm had alarming consequences.
At 4 p.m., firefighters were called out to a number of fire alarms in the city.
Firefighters were first dis-
patched to Askew’s Down-town, with another alarm sounding at the Salmar Clas-sic at the same time.
Nine minutes later, an alarm sounded at First United Church.
“It was likely lightning, it often causes a surge in the
power that activates alarms,” says fire chief Brad Shirley.
At 4:52 p.m. firefighters were again dispatched, this time to a power pole fire in the alley between the Match-box and the downtown branch of Salmon Arm Savings and Credit Union.
“There were no major events, but we had a number of trucks running around the area,” Shirley said, noting the Salmon Arm Fire Department assisted the Ranchero Firehall Friday night at a fire by sup-plying a Gleneden Hall tender to shuttle water.
Thunderstorm sends firefighters scramblingBy Barb BrouwerOBSERVER STAFF
Criminal charges are pending against a man who led RCMP on a chase and brandished a knife before being subdued in the waters of Shuswap Lake on Wednesday.
At approximately 9 a.m., on June 11, po-lice were on patrol in the Tappen area near Salmon Arm.
A white F350 Ford pickup drove passed the officer. RCMP re-port the driver is known to police as a prolific offender involved in property crime. As the police officer began to turn his vehicle around, the driver sped away. The vehicle was found abandoned nearby and it was confirmed as be-ing stolen from Kam-loops two days earlier.
Several police offi-cers, with the assistance of a police dog, set up a containment area in the wooded area near the Tappen Mill. The suspect was sighted by police and following a foot chase, he waded out into a weedy area of Shuswap Lake to chest depth.
The man then faced police while yell-ing and brandishing a knife. Two police of-ficers and the police dog entered the water and were able to disarm the suspect. Police say the suspect is a heavy meth-amphetamine and heroin user.
A search of the aban-doned vehicle pro-duced several items be-lieved stolen, as well as a police scanner.
The suspect remains in police custody and will be charged with several issues related to this incident. His name is not being released pending the formal approval of criminal charges.

They played with heart all season.
What started out as a lengthy roster for the U18 Shuswap Selects in February diminished considerably through-out the season as inju-ries took their toll.
More often than not the team was able to field only 12 or 13 play-ers, yet they continued to play well, ending up in second place in their eight-team U16-U18 division with a 9-3-2 re-cord, ahead of the U18 Kamloops Blaze.
In their last league contest with their Kamloops rival a week earlier, Shuswap came out on top with a 1-0 score.
However, in the U18 grouping, Salmon Arm and Kamloops were tied in the standings, a draw that was broken in Kamloops’ favour based on goal differen-tial. As first-place Ka-mloops then received a bye, Shuswap took on Revelstoke under pounding rain Saturday
evening. They won that muddy contest 2-0.
However, another win was not in the cards.
Kamloops came out strong and fresh for Sunday’s final and left Shuswap struggling, scoring three goals in the first half and then shutting down the Se-lects.
Coach David Knight, who led the boys to the provincials two years ago with assistant coach Ken Kantymir, has nothing but good things to say about the boys.
“I could not be prouder of watching these boys grow up and into the team of men that they are now after coaching them for the past five years.
“It was a hard way to end the season but I was never let down by their hard work and deter-mination. We endured a lot of injuries this season and in the end I think the exhaustion caught up with them.
“I would like to thank each and every one of them for their contribu-tions over the years and making coaching them such a memorable and enjoyable part of my life.”
The Selects were pre-sented with medals both
for their second-place league finish as well as their silver placing in the U18 grouping.
Team members are: Morgan Crandlemire, Nate Kantymir, Westlee Bischoff, Cody Stepura, Jacob New, Dylan Sta-al, Isaac Walton, Ben
New, Nick Chesney, Lachlan Hicks, Adam Luchkanych, Quinton Fahlman, Chad Baker, Kyle Nicholson, Doug Harrison, Micah Gunn and Shea Smith.
Kamloops now heads to provincials in Rich-mond next month.

The 18th Annual Salmon Arm Kids’ Fishing Derby, hosted by the Shuswap Rec-reation Society, took place under cold, grey skies this past Sunday morning, June 15 at the end of the wharf at Ma-rine Park.
In spite of the weath-er, more than 500 peo-ple showed up to take part.
As in past years, it did not take long for the first fish to be caught.
Anthony Materi received First Fish honours along with a plaque, a $100 educa-tion certificate and a
fishing outfit. Materi also caught the second largest number of fish, but chose to relinquish that prize so that anoth-er child could win.
Throughout the morning, Cadence Tu-lak made a total of 11 trips to the weigh-in station to secure first place in the Most Fish category.
She received the Most Fish Trophy, as well as a rod and reel outfit, a $100 education certificate and a $100 gift certificate.
Cameron Bouchard placed second and Charleigh Lemay
placed third. Both received rod
and reel outfits. All three received plaques as well.
Jayda Kopel won in the Largest Fish cat-egory and will have her name inscribed on the William J. Murray Me-morial Trophy.
She also received a glass “keeper” trophy, a rod and reel outfit, a $200 scholarship and will be taking her whole family on an all-ex-penses-paid fishing trip to Beaver Lake Lodge.
Evan Hollatz placed second and received a rod and reel outfit as
well as a $100 scholar-ship.
Alex Smolne placed third and received a rod and reel outfit and the Crook Family scholar-ship. Both also received plaques.
Emily Alcott and Levi Alyward won in the Hidden Weight cat-egory and both received brand new mountain bikes and helmets.
Patrice LeBlanc re-ceived $500 in grocer-ies for the Parent Ap-preciation prize.
“As one of the or-ganizers of the Kids’ Fishing Derby, it cer-tainly gives me a tre-
mendous sense of sat-isfaction when I see former participants like Aly Vann and Jorden Hofer coming back year after year to volun-teer and help out with the derby,” said James Murray.
“They are not only mentors for the young-er kids, they are pretty darned good role mod-els.”
This year, 238 young anglers registered for the derby with 52 kids catching a total of 148 coarse fish. Close to $5,000 in scholarships and prizes were handed out.

During a game that was stopped more than once for lightning, the U16 Shuswap War-riors kept up their pass-ing game, defeating Kamloops 3-1 in the Thompson Okanagan Youth Soccer League semifinal on Saturday afternoon.
It rained so hard that spectators huddled un-der the eaves at the Jack-son fieldhouse while the field filled with puddles.
The Kamloops team took advantage of one of the breaks to do some sliding and somersaults across the muddy field.
After the win, the Warriors suffered a heartbreaker during the final in Penticton.
With just 45 sec-onds left in regulation time versus Kelowna, Shuswap’s Taylor Cor-ston struck a beautiful ball that went past the keeper but just wide of the net. Regulation time ended with a 0-0 tie.
Then, just four min-utes into overtime, Kelowna scored, earn-
ing the berth to provin-cials.
“I’m very proud, they did well,” said coach Kevin Harrison of the Shuswap girls.
Big successBig excitement for the
U13 girls team. After a win-less sea-
son, the determined girls travelled to Kam-loops to face the Kam-loops team in the fourth versus fifth-place play-down spot.
At the end of regula-tion time the score was
0-0. Then, after the two 10-minute overtime halves, the teams were still at a scoreless draw.
Next came a shoot-out. Courtney Bacon and Roxanne Van Rooyen scored for Salmon Arm in the first five shots, matched by
two Kamloops goals. They then headed
into a sixth round, where Jayda Blair scored the winning goal.
Jessie Ellerbeck-Hanna was in net for the first half and Shelbi Richard for the second.

The Shuswap Sharp Shooters U11 devel-opment team had two fantastic games on Sunday in Kamloops against Kelowna Red and Vernon 2.
In the first game of the day which fea-tured the leagues two top teams, Kelowna surprised Shuswap by scoring in the first two minutes of the match. Shuswap re-sponded five minutes
later with a goal when Jordan King made a crafty run down the wing and sent a bullet in the back of the net.
Pheobe Barnes and Lys Milne continued to put on pressure and had several good chances on goal. Julia Hart and Braidy Parkes were stellar in goal and each made several great saves. Shuswap’s defenders, Laura Hall, Janae Bocking, Holly
McKaskill and Brook-lyn Davidson were able to fend off Kelow-na’s attack. The final score was 1-1.
In the second game of the day, Shuswap put themselves on the board 15 minutes in when King, off a pass from Milne, was able to beat her defender and put the ball in the back of the net.
Shuswap dominated most of the match and
played a good passing game.
Sophia Ruckle and Gabriella Torrie were tireless up front and continued to pressure Vernon’s defence.
In the second half, Alana O’Dell turned on the engines and scored two brilliant goals by powering her way through Vernon’s defence making the fi-nal score 3-0 for Shus-wap.

The Salmon Arm Tennis Club hosted the 2014 Mixed Doubles Tournament this past Saturday and Sunday.
Although the club was able to finish the tourna-ment, the rain delays on Saturday were long so the matches were modified to quickly finish up early on Sunday. In total, 26 matches were played.
Tournament organizer Doug Rawson said, de-spite the weather, he was pleased with the event.
In all, there were 13 teams entered (five in the C division, five in the B division and three in the A division).
First-place winners are as follows: A – Dee Dee Shattock and Malcolm ShattockB – Cathy Sosnowsky and Detlef Doose C – Diana Inselberg and David Askew.Coming up for the club is the ‘Futures’ Tour-
nament in Kelowna, July 2 to 6, followed by the prestigious Miele Interior Team Tennis Event to be hosted July 25 to 27 in Salmon Arm.

Salmon Arm Golf Club is breaking out of the mould with two new events.
Come June 18 and 25, the club will be of-fering 8-inch holes on the Heritage Course.
“We are doing this as a trial to see if people enjoy it in the com-munity. I think it will be a great activity for families, it speeds up time on the course. It’s a little bit easier, a little bit faster,” said club spokesperson Sapphire Games.
The second new event is foot golf, a cross between soccer and golf.
Foot golf is played with a regulation num-ber 5 soccer ball on shortened holes with 21-inch diameter cups – big enough to fit a soccer ball. The holes aren’t on the greens, but off to the side.
“Foot golf has really caught on in the States, people really enjoy it,” says Games. “They can dress up in crazy golf/soccer gear out on the field.”
Youth FootGolf Day will be July 5 at 4 p.m. and Adult FootGolf Day will be July 6 at 4 p.m. For more infor-mation, call 250-832-4727.

Arts & EvEnts
Families are an important part of the Salmon Arm Roots & Blues
Festival and the Hub International Bar-ton Family Fun Zone provides fun and exciting activities for kids of all ages.
It also hosts some of the most engag-ing children’s talent around. Coming to the 2014 Family Stage are Dan Zanes, Rattle and Strum, and Nylon Zoo – three family inclusive performers who focus on interactive play, storytelling, and dress-up while they weave mature musical sounds with smart youth-cen-tred content. These dynamic acts will get you dancing and playing whether you are age two or 62.
There’s something you should know about Dan Zanes: he is passion-ate about making homemade family music, and encouraging his friends and neighbors to do the same. He has a mission to introduce his musical friends to his neighborhood friends and show everybody, not just that they can play together, but that they can also feel pretty good while doing so.
Zanes began his musical career dur-ing the ’80s as a member of The Del Fuegos, later releasing a solo album before his foray into the field of family entertainment. In 2000, he released the children’s folk-tinged album Rocket Ship Beach, featuring musical friends Sheryl Crow, Suzanne Vega, Donald
Saaf, Rankin Don and the Sandy Girls. It became an immediate hit with fami-lies all around America.
Zanes has also collaborated and cre-
ated albums with a host of other im-pressive and talented friends over the years including Louden Wainwright lll, Roseanne Cash, Aimee Mann, Lou Reed, Deborah Harry, Philip Glass and, most recently, Elizabeth Mitchell on 2013’s Turn Turn Turn.
The Dan Zanes Gusto Hour is a chance for families and people of all ages to gather and sing at the top of their lungs with Grammy Award win-ning musician Zanes in a loose, com-munal and festive environment.
Rattle and Strum gets kids of all ages dancing, clapping, singing and playing.
With Heather Johnson (aka ‘Strum’) on guitar, Steve Hazlett (aka ‘Rattle’) on drums, audience on percussion and everybody singing, this highly inter-active band leaves nobody out and is known for original music that parents enjoy too.
Formally trained as a music thera-pist, Strum has been teaching children through music for years. Rattle, who also teaches music to youngsters, has been playing drums since he could hold the sticks.
Together Rattle and Strum are an ir-resistible combination with an unbeat-able recipe for fun.
With a grant from the Alberta Foun-dation for the Arts, Rattle and Strum released their first self-titled album in August 2013 and it quickly received a prestigious Parents’ Choice Gold Award.
Although it is a children’s al-
bum, Rattle and Strum spent two weeks charting in the top-30 on Alberta’s pub-lic radio station CKUA.
Armed with catchy tunes, grooves, visual props, extra instruments for the audience members and a great sense of fun and silliness, this is a show that will not be forgotten.
Ever been inside the belly of a giant magical salmon or frog? Ever munched on magical eucalyptus leaves that trans-form you into a real-life dancing koala?
Join Nylon Zoo and enter a fantasti-cal story Zoo-niverse… a place where theatre, costume, dance, music and play allow you to journey to ancient kingdoms, enchanted realms, sparkly unicorn playgrounds, and back again.
This journey of the imagination is a unique celebration of colour, magic and play that will stay with the young and young-at-heart forever.
Nylon Zoo is an art ensemble that specializes in interactive story activi-ties.
The group incorporates giant story-telling inflatable creatures, theatre, cos-tumes, dance, music, stories and play, in presenting fun-filled, magical expe-riences at community celebrations of all types. Nylon Zoo is led by Alisoun Payne, a Shuswap native who has been a performance artist for 23 years.
Roots & Blues runs Aug. 15 to 17. Tickets are available at www.rootsand-blues.ca, or call 250-833-4096. Chil-dren under 12 are admitted free when accompanied by and adult.
Fun for families at Roots & Blues
Kids’ stuff: Counterclockwise from bottom, Nylon Zoo, Dan Zanes and Rattle and Strum will perform for the younger members of the family at the 2014 Roots & Blues Festival.

An aviation celebrationAviation has come a long way since the Wright
Brothers’ � rst � ying machine broke the bonds of Earth in December 1903.
Not only did increasingly sophisticated aircraft speed up travel and shipping, the lure of the open skies ignited a worldwide passion for � ying.
It is with a passion for aviation and the Shus-wap Regional Airport that the Salmon Arm Fly-ing Club will celebrate Airport Appreciation Day Sunday, June 22.
Flying Club president Tim Auger says two Canadian military planes will be on display this year.
The CT-156 Harvard II is an agile turboprop trainer and the aircraft of choice for the early stages of the NATO Flying Training in Canada (NFTC) program.
On take-off, the CT-156 can climb about one kilometre per minute and can handle sustained 2G turns at an altitude of 24,606 feet.
It is the airplane air force pilots train on at CFB Moose Jaw before heading north to Cold Lake for top gun training on the CT-155 Hawk.
Also selected for the NFTC program for its similarities to frontline � ghter aircraft, one of the highly advanced Hawks is expected to � y over the Salmon Arm airport around noon on its way back to Cold Lake from Kelowna.
With its superior technology, including a Rolls
Royce engine that generates more than 6,000 pounds of thrust, the jet can perform a wide range of high performance training missions. Once they have logged 125 � ight hours on the Hawk, stu-dent � ghter pilots are ready to move on to the CF-18 Hornets.
Airport Appreciation Day will also feature three aerobatic pilots and their thrilling manoeuvres.
Blender Aviation owner Ron Andrew will put his Pitts Special through its paces at 10:30 a.m. and again at noon.
A Canadian Flight Centre Super Decathlon will take to the air at 11 a.m. and 1 p.m.
And Phil Symmons from Vernon will be tak-ing his Pitts S12 skyward in an aerobatic ballet at 11:30 a.m.
There will be a � y-by by various ultralights, two Jaws of Life demonstrations, a rapattack wa-ter drop, and an opportunity to win scenic � ights in hourly draws beginning at 10 a.m.
Also at 10, members of 222 Shuswap Squad-ron of the Royal Canadian Air Cadets will parade onto the tarmac for an award ceremony.
The Flying Club will be presenting trophies to two “top cadets” this year as there was a tie in marks earned in the Transport Canada exam.
The gates to Airport Appreciation Day open Sunday, June 22 at 8 a.m. with a pancake break-fast in the Flight Spot Restaurant, which will also be serving lunch beginning at 11.
The day will wrap about 3 p.m.
Raising � ag on First Nations cultureCultural pride will
be the order of the day when the Secwepemc � ag is raised in front of city hall.
The Adams Lake Band is hosting Ab-original Day Saturday, June 21 and is inviting natives and non-natives to join the band for a cultural experience – an opportunity to learn, grow and interact.
The four-hour event will open at 10 a.m. at Fletcher Park with opening prayers and will feature entertain-ment, food and more.
The Shuswap Na-tion (Secwepemc) � ag will be raised at 10:50 in a ceremony that will be led by Adams Lake Chief Nelson Leon and include Mayor Nancy Cooper and members
of Salmon Arm coun-cil.
At 2 p.m., cross the street to First United Church to view Danc-ing Bear, a � lm about champion fancy danc-er Ernie Philip of the Little Shuswap Band, who will also perform a � ag song.
Philip will speak fol-lowing the � lm presen-tation and will respond
to questions from the audience.
“This is a great op-portunity for us to bet-ter understand, and re-spect our neighbours,” says Dan MacQuarrie, who is organizing this portion of Aboriginal Day.

Salmon Arm resi-dents will be able to have their lunch while learning how to focus better, reduce stress, and lower blood pres-sure, during a series of talks that will be start-ing later this month.
Madeleine Eames, clinical counsellor and yoga teacher, will host the sessions, which will focus on mindful-ness.
“It’s about being aware of yourself in the present moment without judgement,” said Eames.
She says mindful-ness is great for dealing with anxiety, grief, fear and chronic illnesses.
“Mindfulness makes the difference in react-ing to life rather than responding to it,” said Eames.
Anyone coping with illness, stress, or just looking for a bet-ter quality of life, is welcome to join the
discussion. The first talk in the series, an introduction to mind-
fulness, takes place from noon to 1 p.m. Thursday, June 26 at
the Maple Tree Medi-cal Clinic, 1181 Sixth Ave. NE.

~ Your Loving Family
A time of faith.Jean, born and raised
in Holland started life with a praying mother, who although dying shortly after childbirth, prayed for her infant daughter’s protection in life ……. and God listened.
Struggling through the war and wanting a new life and adventure, Jean and her husband Bill (Wietze) came to Canada in 1951, worked hard, bought and sold farms and raised two boys, Barry and David.
God did not forget his word and in 1969, he intervened to awake Jean’s husband on June 9, 1969 who when saying “Lord speak, I am listening” heard back to say “In the name of Jesus go out” and that day all the anger, fear and weariness in their life and family left instantly.
Since then miracles abounded and her life was full of love, adventure and joy again. In 1996, her Bill went home to visit Jesus and now Jean is catching up to reunite with him but also that oh so special mother of hers, who 3 days after Jean was born, prayed up a storm that carried though all of Jean’s life.
Jean would say that “Through my whole life’s journey, through war, immigration and hard work, I always had a loving marriage, a true partner in life with my husband Wietze where we shared our home and business in a good way of life………….. but I tell you, that after the fullness of the Lord came in our life and home there was such a big change and I will be ever thankful to the Lord in life and eternity for the His miraculous salvation.”
Every incident in life made me always know the Lord was real!!!
What is there left to say, her family left on this shore now knows that our mother is on the most fantastic adventure of her life, enjoy the vigor’s of life fullness and love of the people who love her and Jesus, her saviour who loves her most of all!!!!!!!
Left behind to celebrate her life are sons Barry (Cathy) and David (Shara), grandchildren Barry Ryan, Jason, Alisha, Devon, Aaron and seven wonderful great grandchildren. Also Maxine Dale, who mom called her other daughter and Barbara Demeter who was a close and faithful friend and visitor.
Internment this Sunday, June 22 at Mt Ida Cemetery and Celebration of Jeans life at 3 PM at Five Corners Pentecostal Church with Pastor Ken Finstad officiating.

Janet Caroline McMichael passed away peacefully on June 5, 2014 at Shuswap Lake Regional Hospital in the company of family at the age of 80 years.
Mom was born in New Westminster, to parents John and Mary Majdanski. The family subsequently lived in the New Westminster area over the next 20 years. Mom graduated from high school in 1951, and started her long career as a school secretary. In 1954 Mom married John McMichael (predeceased 2007), and they lived in Coquitlam for approximately 39 years, retiring in Tappen, BC by Shuswap Lake. Mom was also predeceased by daughter Laurel McMichael, and parents John and Mary Majdanski. She is survived by brother Dennis Majdanski, daughter Wendy Redel, son David McMichael (Audrey McMichael), granddaughters Jordan and Emily Redel, niece Kathryn Majdanski, aunts Nettie Turner, Anne MacKinnon, and Betty Janyk, many cousins and special close friends.
Mom loved to socialize on the phone and in person, sharing stories and laughs. Her greatest passion was cooking huge amounts of delicious food for family and friends. One of her hobbies was bargain shopping, often telling friends and family of the great deals she found. In later years she became an avid Canuck and LA Kings hockey fan.
A celebration of life service will be held Saturday June 28, 2014 at 1:30 pm at First United Church, 20 – 4th Street SE Salmon Arm, BC. A reception will follow at Sunnybrae Seniors’ Center.
In lieu of flowers memorial donations can be made to the Canadian Cancer Society, PO Box 3451, Salmon Arm, BC, V1E 4S2.
Arrangements entrusted to Fischer’s Funeral Services & Crematorium Ltd. 250-833-1129. Email condolences and shared memories through Janet’s obituary at www.fischersfuneralservices.com.

Peter Parashyniak of Sicamous, BC was granted his wings on June 7, 2014 where he peacefully passed away at the Shuswap Lake Hospital in Salmon Arm, BC at the age of 88 years.
Pete was born on June 18, 1925 in Melville, Saskatchewan. Pete was enlisted in the Canadian Army on May 17, 1944 where he served as a Private and discharged on July 22, 1946. He started his career in the Mines as a Manager for Port Radium at Great Bear Lake, NWT. Just as Port Radium was closing Lupin was opening. Pete transferred over with a dear friend and colleague to start up the Echo Bay Mines as a Mill Superintendent till 1980. Pete loved fishing and would tell his stories of the fish he caught in Great Bear Lake. Pete retired from Echo Bay Mines in May 1991 after 20 years of dedicated service. Pete was drawn to Sicamous because of a wonderful opportunity to create his dream home by the Lake - which is what he did and showed it off with pride.
Pete is survived by his loving and devoted companion of 11 years, his Bichon, Toby who misses him dearly, his Sister in Law, Edna; along with numerous family and friends.
Pete is predeceased by his Mother, Father, 2 Brothers, and a Nephew.
When Pete touched your heart he left an imprint on your soul! He will be missed by all who knew him.
A big thank you to the staff at the Shuswap Lake Hospital along with Fischer’s Funeral Services.
