Double murder in Anglemont

The deaths of a 45-year-old woman and 15-year-old boy are now being investigated as a double mur-der.

On April 30, at approximately 4:40 p.m., Chase RCMP were called to a residence in Anglemont, lo-cated 45 minutes east of Chase. Upon arrival, police located the bodies of the two people.

“RCMP have con� rmed they are investigating a homicide,” said Const. Lesley Smith, North District media relations of� cer.

“The crime scene has been isolated to the residence and therefore the public is not believed to be at risk.”

The residence is located on Greenwich Close Road in Anglemont and remains cordoned off behind po-lice tape.

Smith says the names of the two deceased have still not been released out of respect for the family.

Police are not commenting on whether they have a suspect or a motive in the case.

Crash claims two lives

By Tracy HughesOBSERVER STAFF

Two men, believed to be in their 20s, died Monday night in a � ery crash on the Trans-Canada Highway at Hoffman’s Bluff west of Chase.

The Central Interior Traf� c Services are continuing to investigate the head-on collision between a pick-up truck and a semi trailer that took place at 9:30 p.m. May 6.

Chase and Kamloops RCMP, as well as � re and rescue crews from Pritchard and Chase, were called to the scene where witnesses reported a pick-up truck crossed the centre line. The truck drove head-on into a west-bound semi trailer which was transporting but-ter.

set up in both direc-tions Tuesday, April 30 at approximately 5 p.m. at the Adams Riv-er Bridge with RCMP checking all drivers.

Police would not comment if that road check was related to this case.

The South East Dis-trict Major Crime Unit, RCMP Forensic Iden-tification Services and the BC Coroner’s Ser-

vice continue to inves-tigate the scene.

“We are in the very early stages of this in-vestigation and investi-gators are working to find out what happened inside the residence,” stated Smith.

Vehicles ablaze: Firefighters shoot water at the scene of a head-on collision between a pick-up truck and a semi-trailer on the Trans-Canada Highway Monday night that killed two men and sent two others to hospital. Speed and alcohol use by the driver of the pick-up are said to be factors in the crash.

Rescuers pull one man out

The pick-up truck then burst into flames, igniting the semi as well as some surround-ing trees and brush.

RCMP believe al-cohol and speed were contributing factors in the collision.

A male passenger was able to escape the

wreckage with minor injuries after being pulled from the truck by people at the scene. He is reported to have been taken to Royal Inland Hospital in Ka-mloops for treatment of serious injuries

Two men, the driver and a passenger of the pick-up truck, subse-quently died in the fire.

The driver of the

semi-truck suffered a broken leg and was transported to Shuswap Lake General Hospital for treatment.

The Trans-Canada Highway was closed in both directions for ap-proximately six hours, and has since reopened.

The investigation is now being handled by the BC Coroners Ser-vice.

The search for a missing � sherman in the Salmon Arm area has of� cially been dis-banded by RCMP and Shuswap Search and Rescue.

The man has been identi� ed at 59-year-old John Poole from Calgary. He was last heard from at approxi-mately 1 p.m. Tuesday, April 30 when he text messaged his wife with a picture of himself near Copper Island.

Poole’s family is now in contact with an Idaho couple who recently as-sisted with the recovery of the bodies of two teen boys from Nicola Lake near Merritt.

Gene and Sandy Ralston volunteer their time and specialized sonar equipment to � nd

missing people in lakes. Poole was staying at

his vacation home in Wild Rose Bay and was seen � shing on Tuesday morning.

A neighbour look-ing out from a resi-dence saw the boat out in choppy waters near noon, but could not see if anyone was on board. He later saw the boat on shore, but thought the operator might have just been waiting out bad weather or visiting a geo-cache site located nearby.

At approximately 8 a.m. May 1, the man’s boat was found beached on the rocks by the same neighbour, who contacted police. The boat was in gear with the down riggers and � shing lines engaged.

Shortly thereafter, the man’s wife called

Salmon Arm RCMP to report him missing.

“When we boarded the boat, we found the man’s wallet, jacket and car keys, as well as some tools spread out. We also checked the home and nothing was amiss,” says Staff Sgt. Kevin Keane.

Police do not believe Poole was wearing a life jacket.

Last Wednesday, members of Shuswap Search and Rescue were out on the water and a helicopter was called in to assist with an aerial search of the region near Eagle Bay. By Thursday, however, the search had been scaled back before � -nally being called off.

Fisherman missing, search called off Instead of an alarm clock, an owner of a Salm-

on Arm residence awoke to � nd two men in his house who were brandishing baseball bats and a double-edged, serrated knife.

The incident took place at approximately 1 a.m. on May 3, when police received an aban-doned 911 call from a cellular phone.

Police traced the owner of the of the cell phone to a resident in the 600 block of 2nd Avenue NE. Two men had smashed a window to gain entry to the home. The men were wearing black balacla-vas and brandishing the weapons.

The resident was unharmed, but the men took a number of items including electronics.

A police dog and handler were called in and the RCMP tracked the men to a residence on 2nd Street SE. At this residence, one man was ar-rested, while a second man attempted to � ee out the rear door and jump over a nearby fence. The man was arrested following a short foot chase. All stolen property has been recovered. Police also found a small quantity of cocaine.

My priorities are your priorities:

• Create local jobs and protect our communities by collaborating to manage our lakes and watersheds. They are the foundation of our region.

• Ensure that our party’s Spend Smarter Initiative focuses your tax money on the greatest needs instead of wasting it and giving gifts to party supporters.

• Partner with the people of the Shuswap to address local concerns like upgrading the highway, supporting small farms to manage cows again, and being available to the people.

Disaster aid motion shot down

While this year’s Southern Interior Lo-cal Government Asso-ciation convention was successful for Salmon Arm, it wasn’t entirely so for the District of Si-camous.

Last week the City of Salmon Arm hosted 200 local government representatives, who were in town for the three-day convention.

Held at the Prestige Harbourfront Resort, the event provided an opportunity for mem-bers to discuss pressing issues of the day, pass related resolutions to go to the Union of BC Mu-nicipalities convention for wider support, and learn from numerous guest speakers includ-ing former Shuswap MLA George Abbott, B.C. Auditor General for Local Government Basia Ruta and former Vancouver Canuck Trevor Linden. But the event, organized and co-ordinated with the help of Salmon Arm council’s SILGA repre-sentative Chad Eliason and city staff, was also

an opportunity to show-case the city.

There were 34 reso-lutions voted on during the convention. While Salmon Arm did not have any resolutions, the District of Sicamous had four, of which only two passed.

Of the resolutions that didn’t succeed, the most surprising for Si-camous Mayor Darrell Trouton had to do with seasonal property own-ers not being covered under the province’s Disaster Financial As-sistance. The resolution urges the province re-view this policy, “with a view to allowing all property owners regard-less of principle or sec-ondary occupancy, to qualify for DFA.” What was particularly surpris-ing for Trouton was the sole person who spoke against this resolution, the Columbia Shuswap Regional District’s Area E–Sicamous/Malakwa director Rhona Martin.

Martin said she spoke against the resolution because the policy is the same elsewhere, includ-ing Alberta. She also noted B.C. wouldn’t have the money to cov-

er the proposed change.“I know how horrible

it is, I’ve had to watch it twice now, where you have folks on one side of the street that are able to get cover-age because they live there all the time, and you have folks on the other side of the street and it’s their seasonal property and they don’t receive any compensa-tion,” said Martin. “At the same time, it would be millions of dollars and I don’t think we can afford it.”

After the munici-pal auditor’s presenta-

tion, Ruta addressed a question on the minds of many present – the pressures an audit might have on already limited resources. Ruta sug-gested avoiding dupli-cation and the provision of additional resources via the Local Govern-ment Management As-sociation as possible solutions.

Sicamous adminis-trator Heidi Frank is hopeful that, if an audit should proceed, that some kind of support comes with it.

“Because we are all at full capacity and there’s

no way we can take any of our staff and pull them aside to work with an auditor general,” said Frank. “While I under-stand what the province is trying to do, the strain is going to be huge on small communities.”

All smiles: Salmon Arm Coun.Marg Kentel presents a gift basket to B.C. Auditor General for Local Government Basia Ruta, who was a guest speaker Friday for the Southern Interior Local Gov-ernment Association convention held in Salmon Arm May 1 to 3.

ELECTION 2013Question: If elected, what single project do you plan to achieve for the Shuswap during your term in of� ce?

Tom BirchBC Conservative Party

Chris GeorgeGreen Party

Steve GunnerBC NDP

Greg KylloBC Liberals

Johanna ZalcikAID Party

I am not so much focused on projects as I am on steady prog-ress on all issues. For example, the TCH needs to be upgraded. We have known this for 20 years and it won’t be solved quickly. This is a priority for me but it will be on-going throughout the term.

I will work on all the issues: jobs;

the highway upgrade; protecting lake water quality. I will also work on provincial issues that impact all ridings like health care and educa-tion.

Very few things that an MLA does are solved quickly and so do not lend themselves to being proj-ects.

While being an MLA can never be about promoting one single project, my passion has always been agriculture.

As an organic poultry farmer I know just how much government policy can affect one’s ability to be successful. The BC Liberal chang-es to meat inspection regulations nearly put us out of business.

A thriving agricultural sector in the Shuswap bene� ts everyone. Whether it is through increased commerce, access to high-quality produce or the security of being able to feed ourselves locally, the promotion of sustainable agricul-ture as part of a vibrant economy will be one of my top priorities as your MLA.

If I were elected, I would start working on getting a senior care home in the Armstrong, Enderby or Sicamous area.

Seniors are waiting much too long to get into extended care.

If elected MLA for the Shuswap, I plan to focus on supporting the efforts to open the Downtown Community Campus branch of Okanagan College in Salmon Arm.

The campus would provide a number of economic bene� ts for the Shuswap by attracting students who will remain in Salmon Arm throughout the winter months,

supporting local industry during slower periods. In addition, the residence space will provide more tourism capacity during the busy summer months. Increased popu-lation within Salmon Arm and the surrounding area will provide a larger ridership for possible tran-sit expansion, making the area more accessible for those in the surrounding areas.

I would work hard to see SLIPP granted permanent funding and to have their mandate expanded to cover the entire Shuswap wa-tershed, from Kamloops to Sugar Lake and from Salmon Arm to the end of the Adams, Seymour and Anstey drainages.

We must protect the integrity of our lake to protect property val-

ues, tourism and our ecosystems. I would also make it a priority to

continue to demand that the gov-ernment remove the salmon feed-lots from the migratory routes that our salmon use on their journey to the open ocean.

Wild salmon are key to the health of the Shuswap.

Editorial

It’s no surprise that the issue of health care and physician access came up at the Salmon Arm, Sorrento, Enderby and Armstrong all-candidates forums.

“The delivery of health care in the rural area is abysmal,” said Armstrong resident and former mayor Jerry Oglow at Wednesday’s forum.

Residents are forced to travel to bigger centres like Vernon and Salmon Arm to seek medical attention. While there, many are buying prescrip-tions, groceries and spending their dollars in other communities. And that’s driving commerce out of the smaller centres.

Therefore the suggestion of utilizing nurse practitioners is one many candidates agree on.

There has also been the suggestion that more

preventative measures need to be taken to take the burden off the health care system. People who eat better and exercise regularly are healthier, there-fore don’t need to visit the doctor as often.

So everyone can agree that something needs to be done, and there are some realistic suggestions on the table.

Whoever gets elected will need to take such suggestions (whether they are their own, their fel-low candidates’ or the citizens’) and make them a reality.

It’s evident through these recent forums that health care is a top priority among many Shuswap residents. Therefore the elected official needs to make it their top priority as well.

– Vernon Morning Star

Health care a top priority for region

Ask would-be MLAsHow are you? How ya doing? People ask this question of each

other often.They’re not referring just to physical health nor is it a question

about financial standing. It’s a question about well-being, general well-being. While it may be rare that the person asking is really looking for a true and detailed response to the question, it is a way that we humans check in with each other. We all know how important well-being and happiness is.

In the thick of an election campaign, we hear everything – but nothing – about well-being. Some politicians, for instance, speak with fervour about pipelines and tankers, about how the only sal-vation for our province and our families lies in frenetic fracking and oil-sodden sand. Yet this promise of jobs, and the projects’ inherent and substantial financial gain for the relative few in con-trol of such endeavours, does not speak to the costs of such jobs – to overall well-being and happiness.

Mark Anielski, an economics professor at the University of Alberta and the author of the Economics of Happiness: Building Genuine Wealth, returned to Salmon Arm recently for his second visit in five years. As an economist, he works with communities, businesses and governments to help them assess, measure and manage their genuine wealth – the things, he explains, that mat-ter most to well-being, to quality of life and to sustainability. He has long talked about the need for countries and communities to have balance sheets, where both assets and liabilities are tallied. Instead, the full picture is rarely considered.

While in Salmon Arm, he spoke about how more places around the world are making well-being central to their goals and plans. In his book, he refers to Bhutan, which has been measuring gross national happiness, not gross national product, since the 1970s. He noted that people have a common yearning for happiness, for complete well-being of body, mind and spirit. He just returned from Tahiti, where that country’s leaders are embracing the con-cept of building genuine wealth, in order to help inspire youth to dream a new dream for their country. He also recently completed a well-being audit for Leduc, Alberta.

Anielski spoke of his admiration for Robert Kennedy and his critical view of an economic system based on GNP. He quoted Kennedy, who said, “Yet the gross national product does not al-low for the health of our children, the quality of their education, or the joy of their play... It measures everything, in short, except that which makes life worthwhile.”

Anielski noted that the U.S. debt is now $57 trillion. “It can’t be repaid through the GDP (gross domestic product).

It’s a bizarre system and we created it.”At this time when British Columbians are being wooed by

would-be politicians, he says he would like to know whether candidates have a platform based on an economy of well-being.

Excellent idea. Our system of continued growth with finite re-sources is definitely not translating into increased well-being for the majority of its citizens.

Martha Wickett


View PointThe Observer asked:What do you love about your mother?

Ava Ruckle“She cuddles me.”

Marcus Abramzik“She is both caring and pragmatic ... with a real head on her shoulders.”

Mitchell Bamford“Because she loves me.”

Sheryl Anderson“She makes doing things with her so much fun.”

Tara Hadath“I love her for the way she loves my kids.”

Given the revelations regard-ing his involvement in the Old Town Bay project in 2007, one can understand why Mr. Kyllo might be uncomfortable at a fo-rum on the environment spon-

sored by SEAS et al. Surely the excuse that he doesn’t have time to prepare for forums sponsored by special interest groups does not speak well of his ability to serve as our MLA, nor is it true.

He does attend forums sponsored by the chambers of commerce which are by any meaning of that phrase “special interest groups.”

Howard Brown

Polls continue to suggest an NDP government. All we can wish for is a miracle to intervene and save the province. I said, the NDP would have spent $2 billion, refer-ring to the money pledged to union contracts, if Dix was elected.

I feel silly for misleading the readers, I wish to correct my error. Six billion dollars of new spending, is now the target. I did not think, that Dix would talk only about the $4 billion he was going to spend, before he gets elected as his elec-tion platform.

“Slippery Dix” scores again. Clark had nothing over this guy, he was easy on us, collecting a messily $500 million in the first six months of his reign, spreading over 18 months before it reached $1.6 billion in new taxes.

I hope all the folks that invited the Devil to the party, have saved up for this event.

If Dix gets his way, with the let-ters sent out to business owners

who donated to the Liberals, he could cash in big time and save you a bucket of money.

The letter gets to the point, it shows the total balance of dollars, that the business donated to the Liberals over several years. It then asks for a $5,000 donation, before the election, “as a commitment” to a balanced government. (your stomach turning yet?)

Under this current political envi-ronment, some might take that as a form of extortion or bribery.

Rather a slippery move if you ask me. I guess, we really shouldn’t expect anything less. But seriously, how much more ignorant can a politician get?

The Dix arrogance will slither to the bitter end, along with the open tap of money squandering and giveaways.

Hope you all have “biggy piggy” banks, you will need them!!!

Skipped meeting speaks volumes

The all-candidates meeting at the Seniors Centre on Monday, April 29 was well worth attend-ing. All three candidates (Gun-ner, NDP; Birch, Conservative; George, Green) were not only knowledgeable about the environ-ment, they were also passionate about protecting it. Their passion,

however, did not override their logic and keen sense of business. If any of these three were to rep-resent me in Victoria I would truly feel represented. I just wish we had proportional representation or single transferrable voting.

Proportional voting could bring us more than one candidate. I

encourage others to attend the remaining all-candidates meet-ings so you can see for yourselves what wonderful candidates we have running to represent us.

Something to think about.If Conservatives vote Liberal

or NDP in the coming provincial election, it will be the death knell for B.C. – in my opinion.

B.C. just cannot support any more negative government input such as it has had since 1991. If so, businesses will continue to fail and people will continue to move out of B.C.

Since moving to B.C. 20 years ago, the province has gone down-hill drastically and people have left for greener fields. The say-ing was and still may be preva-lent: “Would the last one to leave please turn out the lights.”

Finally, we have a sensible and responsible party that cares for the people and is able and ready to bring B.C. back to where it

should be and to what it can be – the greatest province in Canada. Over 45 per cent of Conservatives in B.C. vote for the federal Con-servatives. People, wake up and smell the roses. It is now indeed time for all Conservatives to get their act together. United we stand – divided we fall. Just sayin’!

Mildred Lybeck

‘Slippery Dix’ could spell fiscal ruin

Two news items struck me re-cently: Latest polls showing that the NDP is slipping in its lead. Pipeline giants spending mega bucks to promote pipelines across B.C. on TV.

I wonder if these two things are connected? If so, it shows that the general public has not learned to think independently yet.

Here we are going to be sup-porting pipelines and tanker traf-fic with our tax dollars, which could be redirected to promote sustainable energy. The cost to the taxpayers of a spill cleanup will be massive.

Too bad an honest politician

gets penalized for having a good idea.

But of course, in the old days, people with new ideas (Earth is not flat, Earth turns around the sun) were threatened with death and, at the very least, excommu-nication by the Catholic church.

Today’s version (corporations) of the Church of Rome pay for ads with mega bucks and destroy careers and democracy.

If we don’t learn from the les-sons of history, we are bound to repeat the mistakes. Holy Inquisi-tion cannot be far behind!

Eva Lyman

Earth calling Adrian Dix. Can you hear me or have you tuned out undecided voters? I bet you would have a 20 per cent lead in the polls if you had prom-ised British Columbians noth-ing more than an open honest government. Your grandiose schemes – the ones Ms. Clark is claiming will bankrupt the prov-ince – should have been put on hold. The voters would have sup-

ported you anyway. Most of us are tired of listening to the self-serving repetitive rhetoric of our desperate fact-twisting premier. But her message slithers into the dark corners of the mind. Deep-seated fears of a four-year free-spending socialist debacle are unconsciously aroused.

You could have said your plat-form was an outline of what the NDP would like to do, but you

would have to first look at BC’s financial books to see which pro-grams are currently affordable. Emphasizing fiscal prudence would have made it a lot easier for some of us to vote for your party. If you end up losing this election at least you will know who to blame: that disappointed guy in your bathroom mirror.

View PointVoting for change may hurt B.C.

I’m concerned that many British Columbi-ans are more focused on “change” for the sake of change rather than electing the party most likely to foster job creation and financial stability.

Our province’s re-source endowment has always been a mainstay of both jobs and the generation of revenues needed to fund social programs.

From what I have seen and heard, an NDP government would rev up spending while sty-mieing resource devel-opment through endless environmental reviews and or by just saying “no,” driving invest-ment to other provinces and other countries.

We need new mines and gas fields, pipe-lines, refineries, ports and processing plants to replace jobs lost by tech change and by events like the pine beetle ca-

tastrophe.Economic develop-

ment and the protection of the environment are not mutually exclusive. Yes, we must be good stewards of our beau-tiful province, but we do have the technology to move the economy forward in an environ-mentally responsible manner.

Saying no to new projects will mean job losses for the currently employed and no op-portunity for young people looking to join the work force.

We also need to fo-cus on balancing the provincial budget, rath-er than taking money away from social pro-grams to fund rising interest costs. Forty years of experience in business has taught me that too much debt is crippling.

It scares me that the NDP have rolled out billions of dollars

in new spending dur-ing this campaign, and their “every dollar is accounted for” rheto-ric just isn’t credible because their anti-de-velopment attitude will reduce revenue at the same time as spending rises.

There is truth to the adage, “Those who fail to learn from history are doomed to repeat it.”

The NDP came to power in 1991 and gov-erned the rest of that decade. Investment dried up and economic growth trailed the rest of Canada.

A low point came when the Edmonton Chamber of Commerce thanked the B.C. gov-ernment for driving growth investment in Alberta.

Glenn Clark’s 1996-1999 tenure was argu-ably the most disastrous for B.C. and with Adri-an Dix, Premier Clark’s former chief of staff leading the province, I’d be very worried about history repeating itself.

It took many years for the Liberals to repair the

damage. During their time in government, North America suffered through a major reces-sion and yet we now have a triple-A credit rating, higher than the U.S. government, al-lowing B.C. taxpayers the lowest possible in-terest rates

Have the Liberals done everything right? Certainly not.

The introduction of the HST by the Camp-bell government was badly handled.

There have been other gaffes and ill-thought-out policies. And while there is a natural inclination for people to vote to change long govern-ing parties, it’s impor-tant not to let the NDP sleepwalk to victory without thinking about which party is likely to create jobs and not burden today’s young people with a moun-tain of debt.

I’m not asking that you agree with me, only that you think through the full conse-quences of your choice carefully.

And then get out and vote on May 14.

FROM THE

Archives

1933 A covered wagon with four visitors from Winnipeg was camped at the city park. The visitors were looking for a location to farm. They were delighted with the district and hoped to settle here.The Girl Guides and Brownies were visited by the Guide � eld secretary from Toronto. She inspected the companies in St. John’s Hall where Miss Bjorkmann, Guide captain, and Mrs. W.S. Ackroyd, Brown Owl, were in charge. A prize for perfect attendance was presented to Patrol Leader Doris McEwan.

1943 A Haney man was sen-tenced to three months in jail and � ned $100 for hoarding sugar and having a ration book which didn’t belong to him.The Observer ran several recipes for stretch-ing the meat ration. It was the � rst week of meat rationing.Mr. and Mrs. Wilfred Reed received word that their son, Lieut. Ken Reed, had arrived safely overseas.

1953 Apple shipments from Salmon Arm’s 1952 crop totalled 148 car-loads. One hundred and four carloads went to the domestic market, 14 carloads to the United States and 30 were shipped to the processors.Forty-eight students graduated from Salmon Arm Junior Senior High School.

1963 Don Wright was named chairman and R.C. Freeze secretary of an organization to be know as the Salmon River Development Committee. It was to function under the Agricultural Reha-bilitation and Development Act to provide � ood control and irrigation facilities on the Salmon River.A modern six-suite apartment block was to be built on the former site of the First United Church, opposite the cenotaph. Total cost for the project was estimated to be $35,000.

LIFE & TIMES

Salmon Arm has been a small town with a big heart for a very long time.

When the Canadian Can-cer Society was formed in 1938, the � rst branch of� ce opened here.

President of the Girl’s Hospital Aid at the time, the late Senia Howard opened the of� ce and took on the role of branch president.

“It just sort of dropped in my lap,” said Howard, when she was honoured in 1988 for her long and dedicated service – service that in-cluded a decade as campaign chair for the whole area.

As she accepted a silver tray in a ceremony com-memorating 50 years of ser-vice to the Canadian Cancer Society, Howard spoke of the importance of education, but was quick to note the so-ciety does a lot more.

That spirit of service con-tinues in Salmon Arm today, where current branch presi-dent Terry Jobe lists some of the services provided – free wigs, many made with hair donated by local hair salons, a cancer support group facil-itated by Tovie Green and a group relaxation led by Nina Dickins.

“We’re a referral service; we � nd information for peo-ple, steer them in the right direction, provide � nancial support for those that can’t afford to travel and get ac-commodations,” Jobe says, noting some 23 volunteers handle in-memoriam and

other dona-tions, help

with mammog-raphy clinics and

host special events such as the Relay

For Life. “We have tremendous volunteers

who run the of� ce and help with special events

and we have monthly meet-ings, sometimes with guest speakers to increase our knowledge.”

Jobe is quick to point out that only six per cent of what is raised goes to administra-tion in Kelowna.

“We don’t know the exact amount, but what we need, we get,” Jobe says, noting that she has a good reason for taking on the role of president.

“For me it’s a personal thing, it’s pay back time,” she says. “I was newly retired and got breast cancer, and was blown away with the way I was treated by everyone, es-pecially going through radiation.”

At the local unit to discuss Relay For Life, cancer sur-vivor Alvina Cameron also raves about the Salmon Arm branch.

“They were my inspira-tion and they empowered me through my treatments,” says Alvina Cameron, who is an avid supporter and fun-draiser of, and participant, in the annual Relay For Life. “Walking into this of� ce, I just felt safe and I felt there were people who were go-

ing to support and nurture and love me.”

Cameron says she had many questions and volun-teer Brenda Kurtz took her under her wing, guided her and made her feel that she shouldn’t be afraid.

“Whatever I was afraid of, I could ask ques-tions. Brenda was awesome and we could share whatever we wanted,” she says. “Even now, when I walk in here, when I go to the back room I feel that extra energy, that em-

powerment,” she says, not-ing the local support group became an integral part of her treatment.

“There were three oth-ers going through the same type of regime, a lady two chemos ahead of me, and an-other one behind,” Cameron says. “And I could tell by the lady ahead of me what I was going to experience – it was a three-person support sys-tem.”

Cameron’s advice to any-one who might be facing

their own battle with cancer would be to go to the Cana-dian Cancer Society unit in the Shuswap Park Mall and enlist the help of the volun-teer support army and the services they help provide.

“I wasn’t gonna come to the support group because when you hear the word can-cer, all you want to do is hide, crawl into that hole, not talk about it, not say anything to anyone because you’re afraid of the unknown,” she says, noting the relaxation and visualization group was also tremendously helpful.

“That was really impor-tant because your mind goes into a non-stop � t and it’s hard to relax, but it has been proven that if you can relax, the T-cells in your immune system work better.”

And the work that Salmon Arm volunteers perform ranks high in the regional of-� ces of the Canadian Cancer Society.

“They are one of the stron-gest volunteer units in this region for increasing their reach and for letting people know that we are here to help,” says regional director Sally Ginter. “They truly are the ambassadors.”

Sturgis North is heading west.

In a press release posted to its website Monday, May 13, the Sturgis North Motorcycle Jamboree and Music Festival 2013 has confirmed that it’s moving to Merritt, with the

event set for Aug. 22 to 25. The site chosen will be the

original Merritt Mountain Mu-sic Festival site in the Nicola Valley, just outside the city.

“The site offers three stages, on-site parking for your bike and a great setting along the beautiful river,” states the re-lease, also promising a camp-ing area alongside the Clear-

water River, as well as a shuttle service to and from town.

The release states that the event will feature the Third Annual Sturgis North Burnout, the Second Annual Cabbage Patch Wrestling Match plus the first Supernova’s Battle of the Bands, as well as clas-sic rockers Jerry Doucette and Sweeney Todd.

“New this year we are add-ing some country artists on Sunday in conjunction with the City of Merritt, the Canadian Country Music Hall of Fame and the Walk of Stars.”

Some creditors remain un-paid from the 2011 and 2012 events. Sturgis North officials have not returned recent emails or calls from the Observer.

City misses carbon target

Unable to meet the 2012 target, the city will continue to strive towards carbon neutrality without the help of the Pacific Carbon Trust.

The city has released its final report for 2012 required as a signatory to the B.C. government’s climate action charter – Salmon Arm was one of 133 municipalities pledging in 2008 to become carbon neutral (achieving zero carbon emissions through reduc-tion and/or the purchase of offsets) by 2012. According to the city staff report, Salmon Arm did not achieve this goal. Regardless, city develop-ment services director Kevin Pearson recommended the city continue its progression towards carbon neutral-ity. Two projects that will help in this endeavour are the construction of 395 metres of new sidewalk and the boiler replacement at the SASCU Recre-ation Centre.

“Greenways is another thing that

the city is invested in,” said Pearson. “Those are just examples of some of the ways the city has moved towards carbon neutrality. The other option is for the city to purchase carbon off-set credits from Pacific Carbon Trust and the CSRD, so that is an option too, but it’s not the recommended one.”

To have become carbon neutral by the voluntary 2012 deadline, the city would have to had purchased enough credits to offset 1,944 tons of CO2 emissions. This would have cost Salmon Arm $31,590.

“What it looks to me like is you can buy carbon offsets for $31,590, but you’re no better off if you do than if you don’t. So why would you want to buy one?” asked Coun. Alan Harrison.

City administrator Carl Bannister noted how there’s currently a lot of debate regarding carbon offsets and said it’s wise to take a “wait-and-see” approach.

Recycling nets long-term payoff

The more the mer-rier – and healthier and cheaper and more ef-ficient.

Carmen Fennell, waste reduction coor-dinator for the Colum-bia Shuswap Regional District, told the an-nual general meeting of Downtown Salmon Arm that it is urgent that more people, including businesses, recycle.

She pointed out that when the CSRD did a waste composition study on the Salmon Arm landfill, it showed that more than 50 per cent of what’s going into it could be kept out. The study showed 30 per cent of waste is organic material, 22 per cent is paper and eight per cent, plastic.

“It is shocking to me – it’s probably shocking to you, too,” she told the meeting.

The Salmon Arm landfill is estimated to have about 40 years of life left.

“In my mind 40 years is not a long time,” Fen-nell said, explaining that recycling is funded completely through taxation, while landfill operations come from tipping fees. Last year, $1.2 million was gener-ated by recycling, but it actually cost the region-al district $1.8 million.

To build a new landfill would cost $12 million, closing the existing one would be $7 million,

and $3.5 million would have to be kept in a re-serve fund to look after the closed site over the next 25 years.

“What all this means is there is a heck of a lot of money to be spent in 40 years,” she said, adding that the problem is, with the recycling shortfall, no money is being put aside for a new landfill.

She said she’d like to impart a sense of ur-gency, because “it’s a

big problem and it’s not that far off. What we are working towards is a zero-waste philosophy as that can extend the life of the landfill…”

Last year about seven tons of recyclables went to the recycling depot in Salmon Arm while another seven were col-lected by curbside recy-cling. Although it was thought the need for the depot would be re-duced with the curbside program, only about 13 per cent less is going to green bins – meaning more people in total are recycling.

“It’s the ease…,” remarked Fennell. “If you’ve got it, you’ll use it. If you don’t, you won’t.”

She said the CSRD would like to provide education on recycling for businesses, and she will also be monitoring what’s going into the landfill. Later on, penal-ties and fines will be in-troduced for those who don’t comply.

Fennell said she will visit businesses who are interested and go through their garbage, to determine if they can make improvements.

The final stage, she

said, will be working with the chamber of commerce to hand out community sustainabil-ity awards.

Currently the city’s recycling program cov-ers only residences, but it is the CSRD’s hope, that it will be extended to businesses. At the moment, businesses must sign up for a pri-vate contract with a re-cycling company.

“Economies of scale make these programs happen, and it’s the con-venience factor.”

Making a stitch in time

Sewing is Jan Rolin’s passion and for 30 years she’s been able to share it with every person that walks into her store. Rolin celebrated 30 years of owning The Sewing Basket on April 30 and says she loves it as much as she ever did.

“Some of us are lucky enough to find a labour of love and spend our lives sharing our good for-tune,” Rolin said.

Over the years the store has shifted from sell-ing fashion fabrics, to craft supplies, and now into a quilter’s dream. Rolin says as quilting became more popular, she got more involved with it.

Today, the walls of The Sewing Basket are cov-ered in quilts made by Rolin and her custom pat-terns are for sale. She and her staff offer sewing classes and free demonstrations, maintaining an interactive atmosphere welcoming anyone who wants to learn how to sew.

“I believe everyone is creative,” Rolin said. “They just have to have somebody like me to bring it out.”

Rolin says her customers are more than buyers and refers to them as her ‘sewing friends.’

“I’ve taken classes here for 15 years and I learn something new with every class,” Anne Jeannotte said.

“Everything I have learned I’ve learned right here in this store,” Miki Mann said. “I don’t know what I’d do without Jan. I guess I wouldn’t quilt, would I?”

Rolin says she can teach anyone how to sew, starting with a straight line.

Salmon Arm busi-nesses have taken big step towards what might be the next big move in waste reduc-tion.

With a success-ful curbside recycling program in place, the Columbia Shuswap Regional District has initiated a study into the feasibility of “diverting residential and com-mercial food waste” with a composting pro-gram. However, several business have already begun doing it them-selves. Composting sta-tions have been set up at Table 24, McDonalds, Okanagan College and in the inner core park-ing lot to accommodate downtown businesses.

“This is a huge step in our solid waste man-agement plan moving towards zero waste,” says CSRD waste re-duction facilitator Car-

men Fennell in a news relese. “These busi-nesses took the initia-tive of managing a huge portion of their waste in a totally sustainable manner.”

Collected commer-cial food waste will be composted at Spa Hills Farm, which can take everything from dairy to meat products, and even soiled paper nap-kins, which don’t ordi-narily go in backyard composters says Fen-nell.

In a recent presenta-tion to Salmon Arm council, Downtown Salmon Arm general manager Joanne Mason said many of the down-town businesses partici-pating in the program are doing so at a cost.

“The cost of garbage is expensive, and some of them have taken a huge step forward and biting the financial bul-let to make sure their waste is not going to the landfill,” said Ma-

son, “but rather, being organically composted, and I think those busi-nesses should be ap-plauded.”

Anyone wanting to reduce what they send to landfill and needing information may con-tact Fennell at 250-832-8194.

Greening up: Mary Jo Beirnes of the Shuswap Pie Company and Bill Laird, downtown property owner, are among the first participants in a commercial food composting program that will reduce waste at the landfill.

What have they done to Grandpa?Hundreds of seniors are stuck in acute care hospitals

and residential care homes – away from their loved ones – because the government cut home care and

eliminated home support services.The government has downloaded services to volunteers and

eliminated professional home support workers who are trained and accountable in dealing with the needs of seniors. Without proper home support, many seniors are needlessly forced into institutions.

Universal home support COSCO is calling for universal home care and home support services, based on need, available seven days a week to seniors and people with disabilities.

Such a service would allow thousands of seniors to live with dignity and respect in their own homes, close to families and friends. It would cost much less than acute or residential care. It would strengthen our overall public health care system by reducing the pressure on acute care hospitals.

As a matter of both human decency and common sense economics, providing universal home support so people can remain in their own homes must be a priority for the next government of our province.

On May 14, please vote for a candidate who will respect seniors and their families by supporting universal home care and home support services

Chickens take roost at Buckerfield’s

Buckerfield’s was alive with chickens on Sunday, May 5 for the first Salmon Arm chicken-swap.

The event brought more than 100 people to buy and sell a variety of breeds of poultry and eggs.

Organizer Randy Fairweather said similar events are held in Alberta and on the Coast, but this was the first B.C. chicken swap he’s been involved in.

“There’s nothing like it around,” Fairweather said. “A lot of people just wanted to get something to-gether where we could do it all at one place, where everybody could buy and sell instead of going to auc-tions.”

He said there are a lot more people getting involved especially where you can have hens within city limits. According to Salmon Arm’s bylaw, you must have over a half acre and the noise and smell can’t disturb your neighbours.

An hour after the swap started, Fairweather had already sold around 50 of the 80 chickens he brought.

Most people were interested in buy-ing egg-laying breeds.

Enderby farmer Herman Drescher said people are less confident in what’s available in stores and have turned to raising their own chickens so they know exactly what they’re getting.

“People are educating themselves on it and we’re just helping them along,” Fairweather said.

Kyle Foisy of Vavenby said he brought 150 birds and was down to less than half after an hour. This was the first time he has ever participated in such an event, being new to the chicken business.

“It’s a great thing to get together and have everyone display what they have,” Kyle said.

Although egg-laying breeds were most popular, there were also spe-cialty birds for poultry shows and fertilized hatching eggs for sale. Fairweather also had breeds brought in from the U.S., some of which are new to Canada.

Fairweather says they plan on hav-ing up to three chicken swaps a year, based on the success of this event.

Iconic treehouse gets new homeSalmon Arm’s Joel

Allen believes in sto-ries — and he knows all good stories need an ending.

The HemLoft, a uniquely beautiful oval structure resting high in a tree on Crown land gained world-wide at-tention when it was revealed in an archi-tectural magazine and sparked others to search for its undisclosed loca-tion. Allen took three years to build the struc-

ture, scrounging materi-als and often sleeping in his car while he created his vision.

The structure caused some debate because Allen built it in secret on Crown land, getting no permissions or per-mits. As the creator of the HemLoft, a secret treehouse he built in the woods of Whistler us-ing primarily free and reclaimed materials, Allen felt it was time to close this chapter of the structure’s lifespan.

“All structures that are human-made need

to be actively main-tained to stay beautiful. I’m not living in Whis-tler, I have a baby on the way, I knew I could not give the HemLoft the care it needed,” says Al-len.

So Allen turned to Craigslist, the place where he obtained much of the free build-ing materials for the structure in the first place. He posted an ad inviting people to pro-vide a new home for the HemLoft. It would be disassembled to be-come a do-it-yourself

project. Allen got a huge response, with a few hundred inquiries and more than 100 offi-cial proposals including from a university, the BC Children’s Hospital, the Four Seasons hotel, and private plans from Nova Scotia and Cali-fornia.

In the end, Allen de-cided to put the Hem-Loft in the hands of Allan Crawford, owner of Canadian Wilder-ness Adventures on the tour company’s tenure in the Callaghan Valley, where it will be a fea-

ture on the tour’s Medi-cine Trail for hikers and snowshoers. He also felt a kinship with Craw-ford, who already has reclaimed structures, in-cluding an old caboose, as part of the tours.

Allen went to Whis-tler and pulled down the structure, calling the operation dangerous but strangely satisfying.

“Emotionally it was a relief actually, to return the woods to its natural state. It was cool to just walk away and see the woods exactly as it had been before all of this.”

How often should we eat?

Is it better to graze all day or eat three square meals?

There are many healthy ways to eat and the best timing of your meals depends on your habits and lifestyle.

One important tech-nique in deciding whether or not you should snack, is to be-come aware of why you are eating.

As humans, we don’t only eat when we are hungry (stomach hun-ger), but also when we are bored (mouth hunger), anxious, sad, happy (heart hunger)...

Other good ques-tions to ask before snacking are: Is my next meal going to be delayed? What types of food do I snack on? Does snacking prevent me from overeating later? And most im-portantly, once I start snacking, can I stop?

In diabetes, we of-ten encourage snack-ing between meals to help people spread out their carbohydrate intake throughout the day, reducing the like-lihood of having the high blood sugars that can result from large meals.

In weight loss, we also encourage some people to snack to pre-vent getting hungry.

While this sounds counterintuitive, the reality is that many people make poor food choices and overeat when they are really hungry. For some, pre-venting true hunger makes it is easier to stick to smaller portion sizes.

That being said, snacking can just as easily cause you to gain weight.

Snacking provides more occasions for eat-ing food, and while we may intend to snack on vegetables, soon the chips and cookies start calling our name. These choices tend to be more caloric, addic-tive and hard to stop

eating. Finally, with children, too much

snacking can decrease their appetite for more nutritious foods at mealtimes.

So what are some good snack ideas?

Again, the answer to this question depends

on why you are eating, but in general you want something that is satis-fying to your hunger and nutritious.

To promote satiety and stable blood sug-ars, a snack that con-

tains some fibre, some protein and a little fat is a good idea.

Examples include an apple with peanut but-ter, veggies with hum-mus or a couple whole grain crackers with

cheese. However, in our cul-

ture it is important to recognize that some-times you just need a little chocolate and that is okay, too, just try to be moderate with your

portion! -Serena Caner is

At one of the premier interna-tional three-day eventing compe-titions, Salmon Arm’s Rebecca Howard and her horse Riddle

Master – fondly called Rupert – made their presence well-known.

They placed twelfth at the pres-tigious Badminton Horse Trials, which wrapped up Monday, May 6 in Gloucestshire, England.

In an interview with Horse

Junkies United immediately fol-lowing her double-clear round, Howard said the competition had been a roller coaster of emo-tions for her, beginning with dis-appointment following the first phase of the three-phase event,

dressage, where she placed 32nd overall and felt Riddle Master could have done better. However, he redeemed himself in the cross-country, putting in a near flaw-less performance, which brought them up to 22nd place.

The exciting and grueling cross-country event is said to at-tract crowds of up to a quarter of a million, the second largest paid-entry event in the world.

Three players from the Shuswap brought home gold medals from the 2013 Na-tional Aboriginal Hockey Champion-ships. Darien Head from Salmon Arm and Devon Pearson and Austin Willier from Chase helped Team BC make history, win-ning the province’s first national title in the event’s 12-year his-tory. Hosted in Kahn-awake, Que., April 29 to May 4, Team BC defeated Team Ontario by a score of 4-3 in the gold-medal game on Saturday evening.

“We are so proud to bring the gold medal home to B.C.,” said Head Coach Joe Quewezance. “It was a great week in Kahn-awake. The coaching staff couldn’t be more

proud of the players and everyone involved with Team BC. The hard work and dedi-cation was unprec-edented and the team dynamics were incred-ible...”

Heading into the tournament seeded fifth in the male divi-sion, Team BC gradu-ally climbed the rank-ings through the week and landed themselves in the semi-finals against Team Mani-toba.

After winning 4-3 in overtime, Team BC advanced into its first ever appearance in the NAHC’s gold-medal game against Team Ontario. With just one minute left in the game, Team Ontario pulled their goaltender, which made for an ex-citing finish with Team

BC winning 5-3. Pearson and Willier

played their 2012/2013 season with the Chase Heat and Head with the North Okanagan Knights. Head played all his minor hockey in Salmon Arm.

Head was also se-lected for the Hit the Ice TV series and hockey camp, which brings together the best young male Aborigi-nal hockey players for an NHL-like training camp. He is one of 28

youths between the age of 16 and 18 who were given the opportunity. The camp will take him to Ottawa July 3 to 20 to train with for-mer NHL’er and pro-fessional coach John Chabot.

Following the cross-country event came the third and final phase of the competition, the sta-dium jumping.

Once again Riddle Master and Howard shone, putting in two

beautiful clear rounds over the demanding course. That brought them up to 12th place in the official results, al-though Howard reports on Facebook that she was presented with the 11th-place silver horse trophy.

Comments on her Rebecca Howard Equestrian site are full of congratulations on her fine performance at her Badminton debut.

As one fan wrote: “Congratulations! That is the most amazing achievement! Good for

you! I am so excited that you got one of the those Silver Horses! Not many people get those! Well done!”

Howard moved to England following the Summer Olympics in London. She is now rid-ing, coaching and train-

ing out of Marlborough, Wiltshire.

Although she could not be reached by the Observer following the event, she told a report-er in England that she’s not sure what her next steps will be now that Badminton is over.

The Salmon Arm Setters Women’s Masters Soccer Team started off their season on Tuesday, April 30 versus Vernon’s Goplen Drillers with a 2-1 win.

In the first half, the Drillers scored the first goal with a direct penalty kick outside of the 18-yard box. Then later in the first half, Setters was able to tie it up with a goal from Helle Watson.

In the second half, Setters dominated with sev-eral missed chances. Finally a perfect opportunity developed from a lovely cross ball from Jennifer Findlay on the left wing to Carol Rogers. She was able to bring the cross under control and finish it, leaving Setters with the victory.

Blow out in Shuswap heatThe U18 boys got their first wave of Shuswap

heat on Sunday against a watered-down Pentic-ton squad who arrived with just enough players to field a team.

Shuswap’s impatient attack almost worked but Penticton showed their skill, despite their age and numbers, and did enough to keep the score 0-0 at half.

Shuswap got back to their game plan in the sec-ond half and wore down Penticton with greater possession and attacking runs down both wings. The floodgates opened in the 55th minute and, with no subs, Penticton collapsed.

The thirst for goals wasn’t quenched until the fi-nal, merciful whistle, with Shuswap winning 6-0.

Good start for Setters

Jewels jostle with South KamThe Jewels rucked

and rolled their way through South Kam on May 1 to end league play this season.

South Kam was physically bigger, but no match for skills and abilities the Jewels brought to the field. South Kam just man-aged to score first through sheer domina-tion and strength, but the Jewels retaliated with 10 tries. Superb ball movement through the backs all the way to the wing created great yardage down the field.

Trice Tuati read the South Kam players like an open book, picking off a pass at the 40-yard line and running the ball in after deeking their fullback – that was one of three tries scored by Tuati.

Brooke Miller gave great support to her winger, Olivia Plum-mer and received a great pass on the inside to sprint down the side-line to score, making that two for Miller.

From the top of the lineout, Sam Bergman tipped it back to scrum-half Ebony Derksen, and looped in support to score, breaking two tackles to get over the try line. Marin Faulkner with two, lead the back-line to loop and sup-port her teammates, creating a great advan-

tage for her team. Beth Lucier, of great force and stature, along with Plummer, both played very well and earned the MVP status for the team. Co-coach Do-nelle Gillis made some great pointers at half time to help execute the plays flawlessly.

Great rucking by the forwards of Han-nah Froud and Marissa Latosky gave the Jew-els lots of ball posses-sion, enabling the team to put so many points on the board. Final score was 53-5 for the Jewels as they head into playoffs this Wednes-day, May 8 at Norkam.

SportsmanshipUnder the Little

Mountain lights, a warm, sunny eve-ning with an excellent spread of food for the pre-game potluck, the social atmosphere was abuzz with summer weather and rugby. Both the Senior and Jr. teams had a potluck with the opposition prior to the game, as that is what rugby is all about. The Jr. team had a great start, pinning the South Kam players in their end for most of the first half, yet still found it challenging to get the ball over the white try line. Jordan Hislop made a huge run, going

60 yards and busting through three tackles to just get hauled down on the five-yard line. Clayton Leduc made an excellent pass to Kevin Alexander on the wing who was also stopped on the five-yard line. Brayden McCarthy stormed up the sideline to gain great yards and be supported by Chad Baker, who came close to the try line. Great ef-fort was never given up but a few errors in the SAS Jr. end of the field caused turnovers for the South Kam team to score. Final was 28-0.

Fan supportSAS and South Kam

Sr.’s were well fed and primed for the game. A few SAS rookies decided to show up be-cause of all the fans and

bright lights of the Field of Dreams. A great number of fans cheered the Golds on to achieve a playoff berth.

Running down the wing, Ivor Kuzmick made a beautiful pop pass to Josh Szoke, who made it look easy to score a try.

Kuzmick again off loading to Wilson Hli-na, who deeked out a few South Kam play-ers to only get tackled just shy of the try line. Bryce Hicks, just com-ing off an injury, played a great game on the wing.

At fullback, Jor-dan DeWinter made some great yardage on returning the kicks from South Kam. Will Walton had a brilliant game, playing prop and wing for SAS, scoring one try and making one out of two conversions.

SAS advances to the first round of the play-offs Tuesday, May 7 in Rutland, so fans will have to wait and see what happens.

Holding on: Shuswap Middle School play-er Alec Crawford shakes off several Len Wood Middle School tacklers during a rug-by game played Friday at the Little Moun-tain Sports Field. SMS won 48-14 over the Armstrong team.

On Saturday, April 27, Provincial Mar-tial Arts students from Sicamous and Salm-on Arm travelled to Kelowna to compete in the Tae Kwon Do In-ternational Open Cana-dian Championships.

The tournament hosted 180 competitors from across Canada, the United States and England. Everyone who participated com-peted in sparring and forms divisions.

Danette Rampton and her eight-year-old son Houston from Salmon Arm both brought home gold medals in their forms divisions. This was a huge accomplishment for Danette, as this was her first martial arts competition. She also placed silver in spar-ring. This mother/son team will be travelling to Calgary for another tournament this week-end.

Gabriel Walsh from Salmon Arm came in fourth place in spar-ring and fifth place in forms, going up against 14 kids in his division.

An-Mei Andreas-sen, 15, from Salmon Arm took gold in spar-ring in the girls 15- to 17-year-old division.

This was the first time Andreassen had com-peted in this type of tournament.

In the black belt Women’s division, 14-year-old Lindsey Christian-Hack pulled off a silver medal in sparring. Not only was this Christian-Hack’s first martial arts com-petition, she competed in the women’s divi-sion and held her own

sparring against a two-time Canadian champi-on with world compe-tition experience. With a bit more hard work and competition expe-rience, Christian-Hack is going to be force to be reckoned with!

Matt Veerman of Salmon Arm competed in the men’s blue-black stripe division, placing third in forms. Veer-man is travelling to

Calgary this weekend to compete in the Cal-gary Open Martial Arts Tournament.

Ben Eddy, 11, of Salmon Arm came in second place in his forms division. He competed against boys up to the age of 13, and managed to hold his own in the sparring di-vision as well.

Another mother/son team, Cynthia and Nicolas Michaud of Sicamous, also partici-pated in the competi-tion. Cynthia brought home a well-deserved bronze medal in her sparring division. Nicolas did not place this time, but says he is eager to compete again.

All of these students, along with the others who train with the Pro-vincial Martial Arts in the Shuswap, are now training for the local tournament that is be-ing hosted in Salmon Arm this June.

“I couldn’t be more proud of my students,” says coach Holly Raczynski. “They all stepped out of their comfort zones and challenged themselves against other martial

artists in what can be a very intimidating type of competition. They all did amazingly well, had great attitudes and showed professional

sportsmanship at the tournament. I am look-ing forward to future events with these stu-dents and the others that train with us.”

For information on how you can get in-volved with this pro-gram go to www.pro-vincialmartialarts.com. or call 250-253-2406.

Outlaws remain undefeatedThe Shuswap Out-

laws Midget Lacrosse team was in action on Thursday night when they hosted the Kam-loops Rattlers.

The Outlaws scored early and often on their way to an easy 11-1 victory. The win marked the half-way point in the Thomp-son-Okanagan Minor

Lacrosse Association (TOMLA) season, and Shuswap is still unde-feated at 6-0.

The game featured a strong defensive effort from Shuswap. Goalie Kalvin Davyduke was 12 seconds away from his third shut-out of the season when the Rattlers managed their lone goal. Aus-

tin Pugh scored five goals and Nick Yader-nuk added three more to lead the offensive charge, while Shane Minnis chipped in with three assists.

The Outlaws now take a three-week break from TOMLA play to attend tourna-ments in Kamloops and Salmon Arm.

ARTS & EVENTS

Time to ride! May is Shus-wap Bicycle Month and the

Downtown Salmon Arm has out-lined riding events to keep every-one pedaling.

A month of bike riding calls at-tention to reducing air pollution and staying healthy.

May 12 is this year’s 12th an-nual Salty Dog 6-Hour Enduro mountain race hosted by Skoo-kum Cycle & Ski and is expected to attract 750 riders from through-out B.C., Alberta, and Northwest-ern U.S.. Since the � rst race in 2001, the Salty Dog has grown to be the second largest one-day mountain bike event in B.C.

“(The bikers) really like our community,” said Tom Peasgood from Skookum Cycle & Ski. “They really like the family atmo-sphere of our community.”

Coinciding with race package

pick-up for competitors, the Taste of Downtown Street Fair will take place on Saturday, May 11. There will be information booths including Shuswap Tourism, the Shuswap Bike Club and the Shus-wap Trail Alliance.

“The Taste of Downtown was seen as an opportunity to start en-gaging some of these visitors and showing off our downtown,” said Roger Parenteau, of Downtown Salmon Arm. “We’ve got shops, we’ve got some really cool bou-tiques, and we have an awesome downtown.”

Events throughout the day will include bike yoga with Dak-shina Yoga at 10 a.m. on Hudson Street. The Candy Vault kids ride throughout downtown will start at 11:30 a.m., in addition to an ob-stacle course.

JAMES MURRAY/OBSERVER

Historic village opens May 15R.J. Haney Heritage Village

& Museum, located at 751 Highway 97 B Salmon Arm, opens for the season Wednesday May 15.

Join the celebration with the staff on Saturday and Sunday, May 18 and 19 and enjoy our famous pioneer pancake break-fast 8:30 a.m. to 11 a.m. in Mar-jorie’s Tea Room for $6.

Staff and volunteers have been busy polishing the exhibits and preparing the beautiful gar-dens. The village, museum and Marjorie’s Tea Room are open Wednesday to Sunday from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. and in July and August are open seven days a week.

General admission is by do-nation.

Marjorie’s Tea Room offers a daily $7.99 lunch special.

Discover this beautiful park set on 40 acres of pioneer Shuswap farmland. R.J. Haney Heritage Village & Museum is the Shuswap’s largest heri-

tage attraction. Take a guided tour through Haney House, a 103-year-old farm house re-stored to a more genteel time.

Explore the Heritage Village of relocated and replicated build-ings. View the Queest Mountain Forestry Tower, Broadview School, Mt Ida Church, Salmon Arm’s � rst � lling station, Fire Hall, Newnes Blacksmith Shop, Lester and Thomson Garage, and more. Not to be missed is Sam Beemish’s “Home Studio” with the largest public collec-tion of cylinders and records in Western Canada.

This season the Museum has a new exhibit in the newly renovated gallery. In 2013 the � re that swept Mt. Ida is but a 15-year-old memory. But back then, when the army moved in and the people left, Salmon Arm became a ghost town.

Working in partnership with the Salmon Arm Observer, the Salmon Arm Museum’s ex-hibit chronicles the catastroph-

ic event. The 1998 images by award-winning photographer James Murray have been reshot. The community has survived and it is time to celebrate.

Take a walk on our 2.34 km nature walking trails. The easy stroll takes you through four climatic zones. With our � eld guide in hand, identify the plants used by the First Nations and pioneer families for food and medicine. If you like trea-sure hunting and have a GPS unit, try looking for hidden geo-caches; it’s a great way to � nd new areas to explore.

Dinner theatre begins July 3 with shows during July and Au-gust, with a special matinee on Thursday, August 22.

Contact R.J. Haney Heritage Village & Museum by tele-phone at 250-832-5243, email [email protected] or like us at facebook.com/Haneyheritage. See our website for more info and 2013 event listings.

SALMON ARM SERIES

Time OuTARIES (March 21-April 19): Economic circumstances will affect you most through this week’s eclipse. You may have to come face-to-face with a financial situation that will ask to be reassessed. Be honest and realistic about your existing living state and act such that your spending habits are well aligned with your earnings. Your bank account may speak from itself.TAURUS (April 20-May 20): This is quite a massive week for you! Be prepared to be open to major alterations in your life. You will go through a change that will affect you personally or a close relationship of yours. Do not resist this change as you will not cultivate the maximum benefit from this week’s transits. Revamp yourself!GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Tap into your subconscious self and let go of outdated energy in your life. Accept your hidden talents and utilize them to help you prosper on a spiritual level. Take more time for yourself and learn to relax. A great enlightenment time is waiting for you!CANCER (June 21-July 22): Someone from your entourage may act as a helping vehicle in finding a more suitable job or to launch a new venture. Develop your network and mingle through your circle of acquaintances for a professional fruition. Opportunity is just around the corner!LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): You are forward-looking as you envision a better course in your life. This optimistic energy will help you gain a new status or recognition within your chosen field. React fast and take advantage of the ongoing alterations.VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): You might be holding onto certain beliefs and principles which you may need to let go of. Expand your mind and welcome a new way of thinking by being open to life and its various opportunities to prosper. You may see yourself under a

completely new light due to this week’s energy.LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): This will be a rather challenging week for you as you’ll be faced with your deepest rooted problems and will need to face them head on. Accept your fears and your problems. Release your innermost inhibitions and you’ll move a step further in your life. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Personal relationships will influence you most with this week’s eclipse. Master the art of give-and-take as you may find yourself tackling a few conditions or rules in your partnerships. You may need to make a big sacrifice in terms of a commitment. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Your physical and psychological wellbeing will likely be on your mind this week. If you feel that you have lost some of your vigour, you may need to slow down from your daily activities and take on the necessary steps concerning your health.CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Sparks can ignite or end a potential romance. The course of action you will need to take now will likely be based upon a certain truth that will come to light in the midst of all the action. If you two are not an item after all, most likely, it is for the better. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Domestic matters will ponder on your mind. After this week, you will have a different definition of a family unit. Whatever you experience during this time, will give you certain answers and clear certain dilemmas. Relocation elsewhere may be possible as well. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): The way you perceive things can change radically during this week. Whatever you have learned and mastered so far, utilize it to better your current life. You do not want to follow old thinking patterns that no longer work for you personally.

When Gay and Dan Spicer moved to Salmon Arm in 1979, they thought they had died and gone to Paradise. Now, Gay truly is in Paradise. She left us on April 30th to join her beloved Dan, her eldest daughter, Sandra and her six brothers and sisters in Heaven.

Gay’s family - her seven children, 10 grandchildren and 12 great grandchildren — as well as her many friends will miss her.

Think of Gay in Heaven exchanging jokes with St.Peter at the Pearly Gates, and share a story and a smile with a friend.

A Mass of Christian Burial was held on Monday, May 6, 2013 from St. Joseph’s Catholic Churchwith Fr. George LaGrange OMI Celebrant.

RODERIC “ROD” HEATH RUTTLE

December 22, 1926 to April 28, 2013

Marjorie was born in Kamloops, B.C. and passed peacefully on Sunday,

April 28, 2013 in the Kootenay Boundary Regional Hospital in Trail, BC. Born to

Th omas Joseph Wilcox and Margaret Hamilton Pollock on December 22, 1926. Marjorie was the youngest of nine children who have all predeceased her. Alice (James Millar) Kamloops, Francis (Vi Fiddick) Castlegar, BC; Joseph (Doris Perry), New Westminister, BC; Helen (James Standen), Kamloops, BC; Nora (William Belcham), Little Fort, BC; Albert Seraphim (Olga Shinduke), Vernon, BC; Robert (Eva Bartlett) Salmon Arm, BC; Dorothy (Ronald Bonnett) Oliver, BC;

Marjorie was raised in the Louis/Heffl ey Creek Valley, (near the Sun Peaks Ski Area north of Kamloops, BC) from 1931 to 1944. Her formal education ceased in Grade 5 with the closure of the rural school. Her education continued by correspondence, interrupted by the rigors of farm life, dominated by sheep herding. Mom had an deep affi nity with animals, especially dogs and horses, who she considered her best friends while growing up in rural isolation. When Mom was 17 years old, her mother accompanied her to Victoria B.C. to attended High School from 1944 to 1947. Mom considered education a privilege and honour; she was a life long learner and self educated, often termed ‘professor’ by her close friends. She loved history and kept herself abreast of world events. Marjorie loved gardening, cooking, sewing, knitting and spent many hours playing cards with family and friends. As a devote Catholic, Mom’s faith was very important to her and she was a perpetual student of the Bible. St. Rita’s Roman Catholic Parish community was focal in her life and she was a life member of the Catholic Women’s League. She greatly appreciated those who brought her communion on Sundays when she was no longer able to attend Mass.

Marjorie married Joseph Andre Lamarche (predeceased November 10, 2001) on December 29, 1947 in Victoria, BC. Shortly there after they moved to Port Alberni, B.C. to fi nd work and start a family. Th eir fi rst six children were born in Port Alberni, B.C. before moving to Castlegar, BC in 1960, where the last child was born. Marjorie lived at Castlewood Village for the last six years, where she greatly enjoyed the companionship and comradery of many friends and enjoyed many of their activities. Th ese were very happy years for her. Marjorie will be missed by her Castlewood Family, and we, her family, would like to express a heartfelt thank you to all who supported and enriched her life while living there.

Marjorie was an avid reader and passed on her love for reading to all her children. Mom’s greatest and noblest calling in life was that of being the Mother of seven children, Bernard (Wendy Koeller), Calgary, AB; Mary Catherine (Andre Ruel), Courtenay, BC; Jacqueline (Fraser East), Nelson, BC; Philip (Bonny Nerenberg), Parksville, BC; Louise (deceased May 28, 2006) Castlegar, BC; Gerard (Nadene Gregory), Dunneville, Ontario; Gisele (Lamarche) Trail, BC. Mom was very proud of her 23 grandchildren and 26 great grandchildren.

Th e funeral for Marjorie, will be held at St. Rita’s Catholic Church Hall, 513 7th Avenue, Castlegar, BC V1N 1R3, at 11am on Saturday May 4th, 2013. Th e viewing will be held prior from 10:00-10:30am at St. Rita’s Hall. Marjorie’s heart was broken by the fi re at St. Rita’s, so donations can be made, in lieu of fl owers, to St. Rita’s Rebuilding Fund.

Sarah Greenwood of Castlegar Funeral Chapel has been entrusted with the arrangements.

th

er’s Day

May 12

Mother’s Day is cel-ebrated on various days in many parts of the world. Many countries and cultures choose to celebrate Mother’s Day in March, April or May. Though the Mother’s Day many people know today dates back a little more

than a century, histo-rians note that ancient Romans kept a festi-val to Cybele, a great mother of the Gods. In addition, Europe has several traditions aimed at honoring mothers that date back quite a while.

One of the traditions

associated with the current Mother’s Day is to give Mom a gift. Some people only give their own mothers and wives gifts, while oth-ers extend their gen-erosity to sisters with children, mothers-in-law and even grand-mothers. Chances are, over the years Mom’s gifts have run the gamut, from a home-made treasure kids made in elementary school to jewelry from hubby to breakfast in bed. For those who

want to add a literary tilt to their Mother’s Day gift this year, con-sider including any of the following motherly quotes when preparing a gift Mom won’t soon forget.

* “Of all the rights of women, the greatest is to be a mother.” - Lin Yutang, Chinese writer

* “I remember my mother’s prayers and they have always followed me. They have clung to me all my life.” - Abraham Lincoln, 16th President

of the United States of America

* “Youth fades; love droops; the leaves of friendship fall; A mother’s secret hope outlives them all.” - Oliver Wendell Holmes, American author

* “A man loves his sweetheart the most, his wife the best, but his mother the lon-gest.” - Irish proverb

* “All women become like their mothers. That is their

tragedy. No man does. That’s his.” - Oscar Wilde, Irish poet

* “If I was damned of body and soul, I know whose prayers would make me whole, Mother o’ mine, O mother o’ mine.” - Rudyard Kipling, in his poem “Mother O’ Mine”

* “The heart of a mother is a deep abyss at the bottom of which you will always fi nd forgiveness.” - Honore de Balzac, French playwright

2Give the gift of green for

Mother’s Day Mom may appreciate chocolate or fl owers. But for children who want

to offer her something a little more special -- especially for their eco-conscious moms -- there are a number of different gift options to make Mom’s big day as eco-friendly as it is enjoyable.

An eco-friendly gift for Mom is a gift that keeps on giving. When you jot down your gift idea list, think about adding these “green” gifts.

* Make a basket of gardening gear. Garden plants and supplies are perhaps the greenest gifts to give Mom. Plants are so plentiful and varied that there are bound to be ideal fl owers or greenery for every mother’s tastes. Compile different gardening essentials, such as seeds or seedlings, organic soil mix, mulch, all-natural compost, and a few different planting containers. You can also include gardening gloves and ergonomic tools made of recycled materials. Finish the gift with the inclusion of a book that describes different garden designs and gives tips for beginners.

* Dine at a local restaurant. Many families take Mom out for a meal on her special day. To make the experience eco-friendly, select among restaurants that are close to home in the area. Explore the possibilities of restaurants that may serve foods made with local, organic ingredients. If you cannot fi nd such a restaurant, do not worry, just choose a local establishment to conserve fuel.

* Pay for a car tune-up. Improving the gas mileage on Mom’s car is one gift that can be environmentally friendly. According to the United States Department of Energy, keeping a car in shape can help save money and improve fuel economy. Fixing a serious maintenance prob-lem, such as a faulty oxygen sensor, can improve Mom’s gas mileage by as much as 40 percent. Also, be sure to have her car tires properly infl ated. She can be losing gas mileage by 0.3 percent for every 1 psi drop in all four tires. Getting an oil change with the recommended grade of motor oil is another gas mileage improvement measure.

* Purchase eco-friendly kitchen items. It may be a major faux pas to give Mom an appliance or a new vacuum for Mother’s Day. However, if your mother is an avid cook or baker, she may appreciate some new mixing bowls or utensils made from recycled materials. If Mom is the consummate entertainer, get her new glass tumblers and sipping straws made from recycled glass. They are perfect for serving cocktails and outdoor entertaining.

Celebrating More Than Moms on Mother’s Day

Every spring individuals celebrate their mothers on Mother’s Day. It has evolved from a day to honor mothers to one that recognizes all special women. Therefore, if there is a woman in one’s life who isn’t a biological mother -- but special nonetheless -- Mother’s Day can be a time to tell her how much she is appreciated.

There are many reasons a person may want to honor a woman that is not his or her mother. Perhaps the person’s own mother has passed away or is not prominent in this individual’s life. Maybe there is a grandmother or aunt with whom one is especially close. There may be a teacher or mentor that has touched the life of a person in a special way.

Although Mother’s Day is built around giving thanks to Mom, it’s certainly acceptable to thank women in addition to dear old Mom. Furthermore, one needn’t wait until a specifi c day in May to honor a notable woman. This can be done all year long with certain gestures and sentiments.

For those who are celebrating all women on Mother’s Day, here are some ways to set the day apart.

* Create a handmade card with personalized sentiments that refl ect the unique relationship with this special woman. This can mean more than a prepurchased card that may not offer the right words.

* Find out her interests and spend a day doing entirely what she wants to do. It doesn’t necessarily have to take place on Mother’s Day. A trip to a museum or a day at the park -- whatever it may be -- can be a nice outing.

* Treat her to a special dinner. Ask about favorite foods and create a meal at home. If dining out is a must, choose a day other than Mother’s Day to avoid the crowds and have intimate moments with just the two of you, especially if you are also honoring your own mother on Mother’s Day.

* Find something you both enjoy and then go and do that. Maybe you met up due to a hobby or interest. Remember the fi rst day you met and reminisce by heading to that place for a celebration.

* Have an extended family fi esta. Host a Mother’s Day party at home and single out all the special women in attendance. Serve cocktails and enjoy the time spent together.

Mother’s Day is a special time of the year to honor not only a person’s mom but also any other notable woman in his or her life. The holiday can be customized any way a person sees fi t.


What’s lurking in your closet?

She Shoe Swaps will happily accept dona-tions of ladies’ gently used (or new) shoes, boots and bags for a huge one day re-sale.

Donor’s names are put in a draw for a num-

ber of prizes including a night at the movies donated by the Salmar, a gift certificate from A Flower Shop and a gift certificate from Shus-wap Bliss.

Donations can be dropped off to RBC, Sears at the Mall at Pic-

cadilly or the offices of Brooke, Jackson, Downs until 4 p.m. Fri-day, May 10.

The one-day shoe sale will be held at the Mall at Piccadilly in the former kitchen store (across from Sport Chek) on Sat-

urday May 11. Doors open at 9:30 a.m. and close at 4:30 p.m. All proceeds will be divid-ed between two chari-ties: the SAFE Society (Women’s Shelter) and the Shuswap Commu-nity Foundation (Rose-marie’s Fund). As the

costs of putting on the event are paid out of the organizers’ pock-ets, every cent will be given to charity.

The event was started last year in memory of Rosemarie Vennard, a wonderful woman who would always think

about others and how to help out a friend. Ven-nard died in February, 2012 and her daugh-ter Kathryn wanted to make sure that her “can do” attitude con-tinued to be shared. A fund was created at the Community Foun-

dation in her memory for good works in and around Salmon Arm.

The first-ever She Shoe Swaps was held in June 2012 earned an amazing $1,500.

The organizers are hoping for even bigger and better this year.
