Candidates share their viewsElection: Liberal, NDP, Green call for change, Conservative Mel Arnold defends status quo.

There were some barbs thrown, but none of the candidates walked away wounded from a relatively congenial all-candidates meeting hosted by the Salmon Arm cham-ber of commerce Thursday evening.

It was standing room only for the event, even after a break was called halfway through to add more chairs for the audience, which was dominated by seniors, with only a small group of teen or 20-something vot-ers in attendance.

unlike a previous forum in vernon where conservative candidate Mel Arnold got an earful, the crowd was more polite, likely in

part because the format did not allow for open questions from the audience. While the candidates did not see the questions before the forum, questions had to be submitted from the public in advance.

liberal candidate cindy derkaz addressed this issue, saying she felt the forum was like a job interview and she wanted people to be able to ask her questions directly.

“I’ll stay and answer any question,” she said. “I’ll answer your questions in the park-ing lot if I have to.”

The questions covered a wide range of topics from support for seniors, to alterna-tive energy, to the Trans-Pacific Partnership agreement.

While the Greens’ chris George, ndP candidate Jacqui Gingras and derkaz were able to outline their visions for change, Ar-nold, with the conservatives as the incum-bent party, had to defend his party’s record and point out the benefits of sticking with the status quo.

His oft-repeated message was about the conservatives’ record on the economy and “keeping more money in your pocket.” He also warned the crowd about some of the other parties’ platforms on climate change and social programs.

“A carbon plan would take money out of your pocket, and put it towards supporting a bureaucracy. How many of those dollars do

you think would actually go to taking car-bon out of the air?”

He noted canada produces only two per cent of the global emissions; however, this was immediately challenged by Gingras, who called Arnold’s claim that canadians are really not contributing that much to cli-mate change “outrageous.”

“We have 0.49 per cent of the population, so per capita, canadians are some of the most flagrant emitters of greenhouse gases,” she said, noting canadians need to hear real scientific evidence, not spin-doctored claims.

Strong reaction also came from the crowd before the candidates even began to answer about their vision for the CBC.

While George, Derkaz and Gingras all pledged support for the all-Canadian broad-caster, Arnold said he wanted to see the CBC continue in a more self-sustaining fashion, “not relying on your pock-ets.”

Another buzz was stirred during a ques-tion about the Conser-vatives restricting the ability of government scientists to discuss their research.

Arnold told the crowd that government muz-zling is a myth, which generated an outbreak of disbelief from the contingents supporting

the other three parties. The other candidates came out on the side of increased free speech without retribution and enhanced openness of the democratic process.

George pointed out that any research or in-formation generated by government-supported scientists, census-takers or other efforts belongs to the taxpayers.

“You have paid for that with your tax dol-lars. It should be acces-sible to all Canadians.”

This was echoed by other candidates.

“I’d like you to think about why this question even has to be asked,” Gingras told the audi-ence.

Interestingly many of the noticeable Lib-eral and NDP support-ers gravitated to the left side of the room, while the right side had a stronger Conserva-

tive contingent, almost mimicking the political spectrum.

The meeting ended promptly as sched-uled, but one audience member stood up in an attempt to make a state-ment. As the format did

not allow for audience participation, modera-tor and president of the Salmon Arm Chamber Matt Koivisto politely interjected, instead thanking the candidates and the audience for their time and interest.

Crowd reacts to ‘muzzling’ response

Address: Liberal candidate Cindy Derkaz answers a question while Conservative Mel Arnold waits his turn.

Police information checks, formerly called criminal record checks, can be processed more quickly now.

Staff Sgt. Scott West of the Salmon Arm de-tachment explained at city council’s Sept. 14 meeting that the de-tachment’s Live Scan equipment has been installed. West said the

detachment has had the equipment for a while, but there was a delay in getting the contractor to set it up.

Live Scan is a tech-no log i cal devel op ment that makes it pos si ble to capture and submit fin-ger prints elec tron i cally, so police can submit directly to a database in Ottawa.

“As opposed to three to six months for vulnerable sectors

checks... we’re now down to a period of a week or two in hearing back from those,” West told council.

He said staff have been sent on “field trips” to get training with the new system, which he said is helping the Salmon Arm detachment avoid some of the problems that Kamloops and other detachments have experienced.

Taxpayer dollars wanted. The part of the city’s budget

process that involves requests from the community for tax dol-lars is underway.

One of nine requests on the city’s Sept. 14 council meeting was from the Salmon Arm Elks, who are looking for an extension of the city’s sewer line.

President Ron Reddecliff said it’s vital the sewage disposal is addressed as soon as possible, and noted the facilities there provide many benefits to the community. He said the society applied to other organizations such as the Shuswap Community Foundation and the Columbia Shuswap Regional District but has not received approval. Con-necting the sewer line from 28th Avenue to the Elks Park at 3630 30th St. NE is estimated to cost $115,000.

“Perhaps our project is not considered sexy enough…,” he remarked.

He told council the septic sys-tem can get through the winter but will need to be upgraded in the spring. His other request was to allow in-kind grass mowing at Elk’s Park.

Council simply gathers re-quests but does not make deci-sions until its budget delibera-tions on Nov. 16 and 23.

Another request came from the Salmon Arm and Shuswap

Lake Agricultural Association. Spokesperson Phil Wright asked for $15,000 to assist in renovat-ing the concession in the SASCU Indoor Memorial Arena. He said contractors have estimated the cost would be $30,000 to satisfy the city’s building codes and In-terior Health.

Doug Adams with R.J. Haney Heritage Village and Museum thanked council for declaring the Montebello Block Project as the city’s Cornerstone Canada 150 project. The Montebello Block will include the construction of a streetscape including a general store, bank, real estate-law office, newspaper office, post office and more. He said the project is near-ing $700,000 in commitments toward its $1.4 million cost, without government support. He requested $100,000 over the next three years from the city in order to complete the project by 2017.

Shelly Hand of the BCSP-CA’s Shuswap branch requested council’s continued support via grants, which have been much appreciated over the years.

Downtown Salmon Arm wrote to say it supports the installation and maintenance of municipally-owned recycling receptacles in the downtown core.

“Not only do we offer verbal support for the program,” the letter stated, “but can also assist city staff with choosing loca-tions, bottles and cans recycling pick-up and any decorations or imaging that could enhance these

receptacles.”Heather Mattingsley added her

voice to the request for recycling bins.

In a letter to council, she stated she would see a minimum of five bins be placed in the communi-ty – at Fletcher Park, Blackburn Park, Canoe Beach, Ross Street Plaza and Marine Peace Park.

Elvi Pukas told city staff of a request for a sidewalk along Lakeshore, one the city has heard from citizens several times be-fore.

Wayne Masters suggested the city charges too much for prop-erty tax.

He also said money could be saved by helping develop a re-gional ‘micro’ transit system with fully electric cars, as well as using solar power and LED street lights.

Gail Gowriluk, Karla Ferster and Geoff Phillips came to coun-cil to request improvements for Canoe.

Their suggestions included a “Welcome to Canoe” sign at the entry to the community by the school, beautification of 50th Street NE such as flowers and crosswalks, a level viewing plat-form at Lund Pond, a bike/walk-ing lane from town to the beach, and turning the two-way stop at the end of 50th Street by the rail-way tracks into a three-way stop.

“No one understands it’s a two-way stop,” he said, noting that people will rush to get past the train.

Police seized three pounds of marijuana and arrested a 19-year-old man, plus issued him a hefty speeding ticket on Sept. 21.

At 11:47 p.m. Salm-on Arm RCMP were patrolling on the Trans-Canada Highway west of Salmon Arm when they saw a speeding ve-hicle.

The driver appeared to be fleeing from one officer when a second officer intercepted the vehicle doing 150 km/h.

The vehicle eventu-ally stopped. The driver was identified as an Al-berta resident, and the vehicle a rental pickup truck.

While officers were dealing with the driver, evidence was found in-dicating marijuana in-side the vehicle.

The driver was ar-rested and officers searched the vehicle to find more than three pounds (1,360 grams) of marijuana.

The driver was later released with a court date. Police are recom-mending charges of possession for the pur-pose of trafficking. The driver was also given a ticket for excessive speeding and the vehi-cle was impounded for seven days.

Roll-overA 40-year-old Salm-

on Arm man was flown by air ambulance to Kelowna hospital after his truck went off the road on 50th Avenue SW.

On Sept. 21 at 9 a.m., police responded to a single-vehicle accident where an F350 slid off the road, hitting a raised driveway. This caused it to flip and roll a cou-ple of times through a fence. The man was ejected from the truck and suffered serious in-juries. Police continue to investigate the inci-dent.

Proven leadership for a strong Canada

Despite the promise of a long, arduous and expensive process, sev-eral Columbia Shuswap Regional District direc-tors want staff to look into regulating large, powerful, noisy boats on Shuswap Lake.

The rigours of enter-ing into such a process was made very clear in a teleconference call with Transport Canada safety officers Hilary Lawson and Joshua Ja-cob.

The two explained that Transport Canada has exclusive jurisdic-tion over all navigable waters in Canada under the Canada Shipping Act, one of the few laws that can restrict boat op-eration.

They were just as clear that Transport Canada is the court of last resort, when all stakeholders have been consulted and all other possible non-regulated solutions explored.

“Even though Ot-tawa has the last word, the process is driven by the applicant,” said Lawson. “They’re local concerns and that’s why the applicant is the lead. The process is supposed to determine the solu-tion of a problem.”

The safety officers also advised that it could take five to 10 years to move an appli-cation through the pro-cess and any resulting regulation would apply to all types of boats.

“There’s an exhaus-tive list of things and it’s up to you and your stakeholders to come up with the solutions.”

Much discussion around options fol-lowed the call, with Martin pointing out finding a solution is go-ing to be difficult.

“We need to start the process and maybe we will find options,” sug-gested Mayor Nancy Cooper.

Director Chad Elia-son agreed, noting he

is “cautiously optimis-tic” about RCMP assis-tance.

“At some point we’re gonna be given respon-sibility for the lake,” he said. “In the new (water) act there is opportunity for the responsibility for water quality and speed

enforcement to be given to us.”

While Area C direc-tor Paul Demenok said he would focus on col-laborating with RCMP and suggested using social media to get the message out.

Martin threw cold water on the notion, re-

minding directors that all stakeholders have to be engaged and that in an earlier delegation to the board, Staff Sgt. Scott West had shared the problems the RCMP have in keeping up with the cigar boats.

Sicamous Mayor Ter-ry Rysz commented on the amount of staff time that would be required, to which Area F director Larry Morgan agreed, noting it would be a lot of work that might not get anywhere.

Chief Administrative Officer Charles Ham-ilton, picked up on the notion.

“I am concerned that this is yet another proj-ect initiated by the board outside of the budget,” he said, noting a lack of resources and abil-ity to enforce. Here’s another one that’s got a lot of public cachet, do this and the OCP re-view gets pushed back a couple of years. What’s the priority? Please be mindful of that.”

Editorial

At first it seems cute, laughable even. Giant masses of soap bubbles over-

flowing from the borders of the Ross Street Plaza fountain. Wads of soapy suds floating in the air and down the street. It may look just like a harmless prank or some good, clean fun.

But there’s another side to that coin. According to Downtown Salmon Arm,

the fountain has been soaped 26 times, including every Saturday night for the past nine weeks.

To those who have to maintain the public area, it’s a royal pain to clean

the fountain and ensure that the parts are not going to become clogged. The whole process takes three hours of a city worker’s time.

That’s when the prank becomes even less amusing. All that cleaning comes with a cost, and again, Downtown Salm-on Arm reports that is $6,000 this year alone. That’s money that comes from all the citizens of Salmon Arm, and we feel confident it’s not something taxpayers are happy to fork out.

So, whoever you are, put away your detergent and knock it off.

It’s far from good, clean fun

I’m not Mother Earth, but...Call me cheap, but there’s nothing like a hit in the pocketbook

to effect change. So a few years ago when the city instituted its new garbage

policy, which limits residents to one garbage can per week and after that you pay-per-bag, I decided it was time to take action.

(Now do not get me wrong. I am a fan of the new system, which while adding the garbage fee, also came with our curb-side recycling program that allows unlimited bags of recycla-bles picked up once every two weeks.)

Not wanting to pay more than my current taxes already cover, I decided my five-person household was going to need to make a few adjustments to keep to my garbage limit.

Enter the Columbia-Shuswap Regional District. I noticed their ad promoting composting. For $40 and my attendance at a short educational seminar, I was able to obtain a lovely com-posting unit at a much cheaper price than buying retail.

So for more than two years, I’ve been dumping my potato peels, orange rinds and grape stems into the handy black bin. I tromp out in the dead of winter and dump my kitchen bucket into the bin and wondered if I was going to hit the fill mark. But come spring, things would warm up and my compost would happily cook away shrinking in size, but not in nutrients.

I am a bit of a lazy gardener, so it was some time before I decided to open the latch and take a peek at what was on the bottom.

And, can you believe it, I made earth. EARTH. You know, the brown stuff we stand on. The stuff that you

grow things in. I made it. And by using stuff I would previously have sent to the garbage dump.

How cool is that? I feel a bit like a superhero, or the caveman who discov-

ered fire. My basil may be wilted and my flowers looking a bit parched, but it doesn’t matter. I can successfully grow soil.

If I can do it anyone can. The CSRD is still offering their composters at a bargain price. All you need to get started is a container to hold all of the ingredients together so the beneficial bacteria that break down the plant matter can heat up and work effectively. It’s good to put it in a sunny spot to speed things up.

Then try to get a good mix. A low-maintenance pile has a combination of brown and green plant matter, plus some mois-ture to keep the good bacteria humming. Shredded newspaper and dry leaves are ideal for the brown elements; kitchen waste is perfect for the green.

Be sure to skip meat, fish, oils and dairy, which don’t compost well and attract unwanted attention from animals from mice to bears. Turn the pile with a pitchfork every now and again to make sure that all of the materials are blended. (I might have been a little slack on this step, and it all worked out in the end.)

Then add time. And, some months later, you too can be transformed into a

soil superhero.

for what it’S worth

Tracy Hughes

View PointThe Observer asked: What was your motivation for participating in the Terry Fox Run?

Michael Scheridan “I started running the event 34 years ago for Terry Fox.”

Oshi Hampson “I run for my dad who passed away from cancer in 2007.”

Callum Orchard “I run because I am inspired by Terry Fox, and it’s fun.”

Karen Phillipson “I run for Terry and also for my husband who battled cancer.”

Jaclyn Kaufman “I run for my dad and my grandma.”

Back in 1995, I had the extreme pleasure of being one of five Kelowna residents who took exception to Mr. Paul Martin’s concept of paying down the govern-ment deficit by increasing personal income tax. Our approach was to start a letter-writing campaign to Mr. Martin and Mr. Chretien, that outlined our views and our intended action, should he (they) carry out their plans. Suffice it to say that the campaign met with un-believable success and the only increase in taxation that year was one cent per litre of gasoline (you’re wel-come).

As I understand it, the problem was that the deficit had been created by Mr. Martin’s own party when a previous leader had scooped the idea of deficit financ-ing from observing our neighbours to the south, while under the leadership of Mr. Ronald Reagan. It seemed to be working for them, so why not us?

Well, by 1995, it was my understanding that Cana-da’s deficit had risen to something in the neighbour-hood of 34 billion dollars… (that’s $34,000,000,000). Where is it now? I’m not sure. But what is the signifi-cance of a 34 billion dollar debt?

Let’s put it into a different perspective. Let’s start with only one billion dollars, and let’s suppose that you owed someone one billion dollars, and let’s suppose that you decided to retire the debt at the rate of one dol-lar per second. Let’s do the math.

To retire your debt at the rate of $1/second, that would mean $60 per minute, $3,600 per hour, or $86,400 per day. Looks like this shouldn’t take too long, eh? But let’s continue.

At $86,400 per day, that would mean $31,536,000 per year (that’s thirty one million, five hundred and thirty six thousand dollars per year). Now if you divide one year’s payment into the billion dollars that you owe, you’ll discover that it will only take 31.7 years to retire your debt at the rate of $31.5 million dollars per year. Now the real problem with all of this is simply that with debt comes “interest” … and we haven’t even begun to do the math on that.

So, the next time you hear your candidate in the up-coming election, talking in terms of all the money they plan to spend in order to “buy” themselves that comfy seat in Ottawa, try to remember that it’s your money that they plan to spend, and you and your ancestors will be saddled with covering the debt.

When the government says they’re spending tax money to give you something for free, look out. It’s your money they’re spending, so “it ain’t free.”

Vote as you please, but vote.

Thanks to Conservative candidate Mel Arnold, for his forthright self-portrayal as a ‘conservationist,’ not a ‘preservationist.’ “I believe in the wise use of resources,” stated Mr. Arnold. (Observer, Sept. 18).

This implies, however, that every-thing in nature is a resource for our ex-clusive use – and nothing more. What if nature is more, much more, and what if we don’t – or shouldn’t – have to use everything, or even worse – believe that we must ?

When ‘preservation’ and ‘conser-vation’ are compared, their meanings become clear. The prefix pre derives from the Latin for ‘before,’ or in front. The prefix con derives from the Latin

for ‘together’ or ‘with.’ ‘Serve’ de-rives from the Latin for ‘a slave.’ Thus, ‘preserve’ carries the sense of ‘before slavery’ which, in turn, carries the sug-gestion of preventing something from becoming a slave. ‘Conserve’ carries the sense of ‘together’ with a ‘slave,’ which, in its turn, suggests not prevent-ing something from becoming a slave, but rather, of working together with something that is already a slave.

In effect, ‘preservationists” allow members or processes of the nonhuman world to follow their own characteristic patterns of existence as much as pos-sible. By contrast, ‘conservationists’ act – however wisely – to physically al-ter the characteristic patterns of existing

members or processes of the nonhuman world – by farming, damming, mining, logging, hunting, fishing, meat-pack-ing, etc.

(Readers might be surprised that some ‘conservationists’ view no use of nature to be as bad as misuse!)

Mr. Arnold and the Conservative Par-ty obviously engage nature solely as a ‘usable slave,’ rather than as an ecologi-cally diverse world where its members and natural processes are respected and preserved as inherently valuable, in and of themselves. Too bad the mythology of ruinous human dominion and false entitlement lives on.

Will you care for your parents when they need you? I know many seniors in facilities that rarely see their family. Maybe you’re just too busy with your job and your kids. And when you do see them it can be rather unpleasant because they are often miserable and complain about everything. And what do they have to complain about? Don’t they have medical professionals at their beck and call? No. In many facilities they do not. Government facilities have insuffi-cient staff and services such as therapy,

due to a lack of funding, whereas many privately owned “facilities for profit” choose to neglect our seniors. After all, their investors are expecting those large dividends. And this government allows this “business of neglect” by refusing to enforce adequate standards of care.

My research has proven that the se-nior health-care system has been going down-hill for years. What level of care will the system provide for you in the fu-ture? The citizens of B.C. must stop this decline, now. Our future depends upon

the protest we make, now. We must raise our voices to a level that can no longer be ignored by this government.

Anyone with a personal account of abuse or neglect of a loved one in a fa-cility, can make a difference by emailing me their story which I will forward to the government. Please remember that children learn by example. If they see you have not taken the time to protect your loved ones, will they protect you?

During the exhibition in Armstrong earlier this month, I was one of 12 peo-ple manning a booth with information about the upcoming federal election. I did so as an organizer for the Dogwood Initiative, which sponsored the booth, and a member of Renewing Democracy through Cooperation. Both groups are not affiliated with any party, focussing on issues important to us including: im-proving democracy, having more local decision-making power over projects which affect the environment, improv-ing relations with First Nations, re-storing Canada’s social safety net, and dealing with climate change.

We gave out information about the Dogwood questionnaire for B.C. can-didates (votebc.ca). All of the local candidates had completed it except the Conservative, Mel Arnold. This is line with the rest of the province with only 1 of 42 Conservatives filling out the ques-tionnaire; almost all candidates for the other three parties did so. Many pass-ersby were puzzled or dismayed by the Conservatives’ lack of openness.

We encourage everyone to see if they are registered and, if not, to regis-ter online (www.elections.ca). We were struck by both the degree of uncertainty of voting intentions, and the willingness

of voters to consider voting for parties for whom they had never before voted.

We carried out an informal poll, where passersby were encouraged to vote with a spoonful of water in the jar of the party of their choice. We per-formed the exercise three times over the course of the IPE. In the first result, the Conservatives narrowly beat out the NDP. In the second and third polls, the NDP came out ahead. It’s not a scientif-ic poll, but an indication of the mood of the people who came up to speak with us at the IPE.

FROM THE

Archives

1915 An of� cial announce-ment was made on Tuesday in the House of Commons, London, that the casualties on our side up to the end of August in the European war totalled 381,983 of� cers and men killed, wounded or missing.

1925 The Chautauqua com-mittee has received the dates on which the Chautauqua will be held in Salmon Arm this year. They are Nov. 26, 27, 28 and 30. The public will be interested to know that there are to be four evening and two after-noon performances. A meeting of the singers of the contract is to be held in A.B. Currie’s of� ce next Tuesday at 8 p.m.On Friday last a local lady entered one of our stores and asked the price of the largest milk pan that the merchant had in stock. On being told that it was 50 cents, she exclaimed in horror that she could buy one just like it at a store in a city we shall not name, hundreds of miles away for only 35 cents. She then asked the price of a coffee percolator, and on being informed that a nice aluminum one would cost $1.65, she exclaimed that it couldn’t be a very good one, because the out-of-town store she spoke of earlier sells them at $1.75.

1935 Mr. O.A. Atwood, Peter Street, has been displaying a huge sun-� ower in his garden. The stalk was over 10 feet high and the � ower had a spread of 13 inches.

1955 The water line was connected to Salmon Arm’s new swim-ming pool this week, although the pool will not be � lled this year, announced Ald. Thomas Bowers who, as chairman of the public works committee, is in charge of the project. Construction of the pool was � nanced from the $20,000 bequest left for the purpose by Fred Fletcher, former Seymour Arm trap-per. There remains some � nishing work to be done to the pool, which will be in use next spring.

LIFE & TIMES

An idea that germinated eight years ago is about to � ower.

Talented Shuswap author Gail An-derson-Dargatz’s new literary nov-el, The Spawning Grounds, will be published by Knopf Canada in fall 2016.

The book is about a tragedy that had split a family and the healing process family mem-bers go through.

“In large part it’s about our re-lationships as newcomers – Eu-ropean and First Nations, and it goes into the deep past, near past and future,” she says of the novel that is set a couple of years from now.

Anderson-Dargatz says she was not trying to write a sequel to Cure For Death By Lightning, which was published 20 years ago, but one character did return and refused to leave.

“One of them did turn up. I was sur-prised but I shouldn’t have been,” she laughs. “Writing really is the act of sur-prise; you have no control over the pro-cess, they just turn up.”

Anderson-Dargatz says the book is not political but is about our relationships with rivers and streams and contains an element of her trademark magic realism.

That the book is set in the Shuswap is no surprise. It is the landscape of her childhood and is ingrained in the author’s psyche, although she purposely alters lo-cations.

While Anderson-Dargatz is amused by the term Gothic some readers use to de-scribe her work, she agrees she is deeply affected by the landscape.

“I don’t think that, but when I am writ-ing, I am thinking fall, moody, secretive and I like it,” she says. “When we get that kind of weather, I hunker down, I feel en-veloped, hugged by the landscape. I guess I am a bit of a moody writer, so it � ts.”

Excited about her � rst literary novel in 20 years, Anderson-Dargatz has never stopped writing.

“People have been asking when I would write another literary novel and the short

answer is, I had kids and teaching,” she says, alluding to her years with UBC and a number of Rapid Read books she has produced. “Literary writing takes a lot of time and focus and the kids are moving into their own worlds, so I have more time now and will be getting books out there more quickly.”

Anderson-Dargatz is working on the � -nal edits of The Spawning Grounds and is already feeling sad to let the � ctional community and its occupants go.

“I have another project waiting, because if I don’t, I’ll enter a period of grieving,” she says. “A literary novel is a commit-ment, a serious marriage… Leaving it is akin to divorce in a way.”

Anderson-Dargatz already has a draft of a young adult book ready for her at-tention.

“Young adult books are a very different kind of writing – more fantasy elements, a more commercial feel and much more

fast-paced,” she says, pointing out they are meant for kids who have a

good learning level. “Doing literacy books taught me a lot about keep-ing the reader’s interest and mov-ing along. In literary, the focus is more on character than plot and more slower paced.”

Anderson-Dargatz left her on-line teaching post with UBC in 2013 and is delighted her private teaching has been both success-ful and rewarding.

Most of her teaching remains online but Anderson-Dargatz is

holding local workshops. The � rst is a one-day event, a Sunday morn-

ing salon on the novel, at Blind Bay Hall, on Oct. 18. This short workshop

will explore several issues with the goal of writing powerful � ction that has the authority that can only come from “writ-ing what you know.”

A second, weeklong � ction intensive will be held at the Notch Hill Hall over the week of Nov. 23 to 27 and will include critiquing.

“It’s very hard to see mistakes in your own writing, but in the process of learn-ing how to critique, you learn craft,” she says. “Working one-on-one with a mentor is great, but you learn a whole lot more when working with your peers under the guidance of a good mentor.”

Anderson-Dargatz says workshops also build community and allow writers to deal with the accompanying fear and anxiety writers experience.

“To be a successful writer, you have to have certain traits, an emotional inten-sity and the ability to observe deeply,” she says, pointing out most writers come from a ‘deep emotional landscape.’ “The upside is it can also fuel the writing. It’s an interesting thing we really have to deal with; it’s the black dog that can turn and bite you.”

A vigorous cold front tore through the Shuswap Sunday evening, knocking out power to more than 2,000 custom-ers.

“There are a couple of ele-ments that made it remark-able for late summer,” said Environment Canada meteo-rologist Lisa Coldwells Mon-day. “As it was approaching from the north, there was a moderate southerly wind and temperatures rose to 26C – a beautiful late summer after-noon because all the air was mixing along the front.”

As the front went through at 5 p.m., the wind rapidly shifted to the north, delivering a maximum gust of 54 km/h in its haste.

Temperatures dropped dra-matically to 16 degrees within two hours, said Coldwells.

“Kelowna saw hardly any rain, but had a 69 km/h wind gust,” she said, noting the front swept across the entire province, dropping a mere 1.7 millimetres of rain in Salmon

Arm. “It wasn’t remarkable for the rain but the disconti-nuity of 10 degrees.”

Coldwells said the province is now under the modified cooler air typical of fall days

– mainly sunny afternoons with temperatures hovering around 20 degrees.”

And while Coldwells warned of a minimum tem-perature of 3 degrees Tuesday morning with risk of frost, she said the daily lows for the rest of the week are in the neighbourhood of 10C.

Meanwhile, the wind like-ly interrupted many dinners as falling trees knocked out power in two storm-related incidents.

BC Hydro rep Carly Moran said one outage lasted from 5 to 7 p.m. affecting 1,425 people in an area north of 30th Avenue SW, throughout Tappen and along Sunnybrae Canoe Point Road.

The second outage caused by storm-tossed trees lasted from 7:30 to 9 p.m., affecting 711 people north of the Trans-Canada Highway, east of Cal-houn Road in Tappen.

Wild wind knocks out power

In the dark: The dark line along Sunnybrae-Canoe Point Road and through Gleneden and Tappen indi-cates an area that lost power for two hours Sunday.

Foam vandalismA city worker uses a leaf blower to disperse foam bubbles Friday morning after someone poured soap into the fountain at the Ross Street Plaza. Downtown Salmon Arm reports the fountain has been soaped every Saturday night for the last nine weeks. Each time the fountain is soaped, it requires at least three hours to perform the cleaning, which has cost taxpayers more than $6,000 this year.

ARIES (March 21-April 19): Are you stuck in a rut? The stars encourage you to stretch beyond your usual boundaries. Adventure awaits! Try to burn off excess energy through sporting activities or outdoor endeavours. Expect the sparks to fly on the weekend, as the Lunar Eclipse fires up relationships. Slow down Rams … otherwise you’re likely to over-react and do [or say] something that you later regret!

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): It’s time to do other activities that draw on the richness of your imagination. Attached Bulls – make sure you jazz up the relationship with some spontaneous romantic gestures. Singles – you could find love via an unexpected introduction. Be emotionally honest with yourself. Feeling guilty about something you did in the past won’t help. Let bygones be bygones and move on.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Pluto and Mercury retrograde stymie your style, as a project stalls and you may feel as if you’re going nowhere. Don’t give up Gemini! The stars are testing your stamina and persistence, so pick yourself up, take baby steps, and keep on keeping on. Venus encourages you to contribute more of your time and talents to a worthy cause within your local community.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): Cancers can be overly cautious. When it comes to a sudden opportunity, don’t sit on it for too long. A snap decision could turn out surprisingly well! Attached Crabs – it’s time to buy a special gift for your partner. Singles – love and money are linked, so look for a potential partner who is involved in the financial industry, or is marvelous at managing their own money.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Expect some intense encounters with others. It’s not a good week to make witty wisecracks or pass on gratuitous gossip, as people will be easily offended. If you are too hasty on the weekend, then you could find yourself headed for an argument [or even an accident]. Take particular care when walking and driving!

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): It’s time to seize the day and get on your way! Proceedings will be slowed down but that’s no excuse to put things off indefinitely. Just make sure you allow plenty of extra time, as projects will be slowed down or even delayed. With a back-up plan [and plenty of persistence] you can still achieve great things.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): It’s a good week to revise paperwork, revisit old research and tie up loose-ends – but avoid starting any new projects until after October 9. Unresolved problems from the past could also come back to test you. Don’t dither Libra! Make a commitment to resolve these issues once and for all. Love-at-first-sight is likely for some lucky single Librans.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Resist the urge to obsess over situations this week. Other people may criticize your plans or reject your ideas but try not to take it personally. Inner compulsions and hidden obsessions are likely to go into overdrive on the weekend, as the Super Moon Lunar Eclipse stimulates your unconscious mind. So pace yourself and strive to keep things in perspective.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Are you interested in growing, learning and becoming a better and more mature person? With Saturn moving through your sign for the next two years, it’s the perfect time to eradicate bad habits and re-structure your persona into the updated version you’d prefer. It will take time, energy and discipline, but is well worth the effort.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): This week your talent for criticism is highlighted, as you critique the efforts of those around you. Or a loved one or work colleague may criticise YOUR performance. They mean well so try not to be offended. Be prepared for some domestic dramas and family fiascos on the weekend, as Sunday night’s Lunar Eclipse stimulates your home zone.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Articulate your expectations, and make sure you understand what others expect from you. Relationships present some drama and a sprinkle of spontaneity. Attached Aquarians – Do something spontaneous with your lover. Singles – be adventurous and cast your net wide.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Mars moves into your love zone on Friday, so being passive aggressive is out, and being proactive is in. When it comes to shopping, avoid making expensive impulse purchases that you later regret. If you have financial worries, talk things through with an accountant or money-savvy friend for some direction.

Election 2015

Offering an alternative

To former Conserva-tive voters in the North-Okanagan Shuswap riding still on the fence, Chris George offers what may seem an un-conventional solution: vote Green.

Of course, a vote for the Green Party of Can-ada in the riding would be a vote for George, the party’s local candi-date. Offering himself as an option for the undecided is George’s logical approach to the conundrum, based on an understanding that voters haven’t forgotten past Liberal (federally) and NDP (provincially) governments, and how he, as a Green MP, wouldn’t be encum-bered by ideology or party line – that Greens can stick their necks out when needed to repre-sent their ridings.

“I can actually work together with different interests and different groups in the riding to come up with a consen-sus of opinion that I can then take to Ottawa to fairly represent the peo-ple here,” said George.

Chris George was elected the riding’s Green Party candidate in July. The Notch Hill resident who is cur-rently pursuing a Bach-elor of General Stud-ies, brings with him a diverse background in small business, three de-cades of volunteering, an affinity for informa-tion, numbers and poli-cy and the experience of having run as the Shus-wap’s B.C. Green Party candidate in the 2013 provincial election (in which he earned 2,186 votes – 9.26 per cent of the total vote).

George says he also used to vote for the Pro-gressive Conservative/Social Democratic par-ties.

“My parents were both small business people, this was their political agenda and I just sort of inherited it,” said George. “They always instilled in me that voting was a right, privilege and a duty, so I’ve gone out of my way to make sure that I’ve voted in every single election that I was eli-gible to do so.”

But George said he was never satisfied with the partisan nature of politics and the sim-plified paradigms of left- and right-wing. It wasn’t until he heard a speech by former Green Party of Canada leader Jim Harris that George found a place to hang his hat.

“He said their poli-cy was economically conservative, socially responsible and envi-ronmentally sound, and that really struck a chord with me,” said George, who describes himself as a fiscally conserva-tive person with a social conscience.

George contests the

notion that the Greens are a party that only says “no.” He says this is the response only to extremist positions where an unbalanced approach is being taken.

He points to the tar sands for example, not-ing the Greens are not looking to shut them down, but to stop their expansion, and instead start putting resources into secondary industry, such as refining, not in China but on Canadian soil.

“If we actually deal with that product in Edmonton, we can run it through a state-of-the-art refinery with ap-propriate environmental controls and make sure those jobs for Canadi-ans aren’t being export-ed,” said George.

One concern for George in this elec-

tion is that people will be voting strategically, driven by personality over the issues. He calls this a mistake, one to which issues surround-ing climate change, eco-nomic inequality and even health care have taken a back seat. He says this way of think-ing only propagates the kind of apathy that kept 33,980 eligible voters from casting a ballot in 2013. One way of changing this, he says, is to have leaders who inspire, who are willing and able to speak from the heart, without script.

“I think we need to roll back a generation, I guess, back to when people were aspira-tional and people actu-ally voted what was in their hearts and kind of let the chips fall where they may.”

“Who controls our Parliament? Harper-man, Harperman.

Who squashes all dissent?

Harperman, Harper-man”

About 50 people, including the nine on stage, gathered to sing the Harperman protest song at the Ross Street Plaza on Thursday, July 17. They were part of a cross-Canada singalong set for a month before the federal election on Oct. 19. Several were dressed in NDP orange.

The gathering was somewhat reminiscent of a ’60s protest, with the crowd warming up their vocals to the sound of Where Have All the Flowers Gone?, a folk song written by Pete Seeger in 1955 and later performed by such groups as Peter, Paul and Mary.

Warren Bell intro-duced Harperman, stat-ing the song written by Environment Canada scientist Tony Turner had received 651,000 hits on Youtube. He said Turner was given a leave of absence when his song became public “because he stepped out of line.”

Blu Hopkins was also on stage.

“I couldn’t miss this, are you kidding?” he told the Observer, saying it brings back memories of the politi-cal protests of the ’70s.

Diane Hould said she was present because of concerns about the en-vironment.

“We need our lakes, rivers and habitats pro-tected.”

Bell said he was part of the protest “because it seemed like a cheer-ful way to express an opinion that many people share – it’s time for a change in our po-litical landscape. And singing is a wonderful way.”

Janet Bates from the

North Shuswap said music, to her, is politi-cal.

“It’s called stealth activism – playing good music with a message.”

Eighty-five-year-old Wally Churchill from Chase played the gui-tar onstage.

“It’s time we got rid of that person – I don’t like to use his name,” he told the Observer.

Harperman: YouTube song critical of Prime Minister makes debut in town.

Protest: A group of Shuswap residents gather at Salmon Arm’s Ross Street Plaza on Thursday, Sept. 17 to sing the Harperman song.

Mayor seeks UBCM spotSalmon Arm Mayor Nancy Coo-

per is running for another political position.

Cooper has set her sights on sec-ond vice-president of the Union of BC Municipalities. She describes the process as “a wonderful oppor-tunity to promote Salmon Arm.”

She said she sent out a bio that is mostly about Salmon Arm to every municipality and regional district in B.C. Along with her professional background, it lists the city’s im-proved relations with First Nations, such as raising the Shuswap Nation

flag at city hall. She also refers to council’s receipt of the 2014 Open for Business Award and how the city, as a member of the Shuswap Watershed Council through the Co-lumbia Shuswap Regional District, received a ‘Community Excellence Award’ for stewardship of Shuswap Lake.

“Building relationships, taking care of business, looking after the environment are important areas of concern to all our B.C. communi-ties and demonstrate my balanced approach to governance,” she states.

They may only be four games into the season, but the Salmon Arm Silverbacks are enjoying the view from atop the BCHL’s Inte-rior Division.

After their home- opener win against Penticton, the ’Backs downed division rivals Merritt on the road in a game that was on a knife’s edge, winning 7-5 last Tuesday.

Returning home for two games against Mainland Division teams, the Silverbacks dispatched the Co-quitlam Express 6-0 on Saturday, and tied Chill-iwack 4-4 in a Sunday matinee. Summer-signing, Brett Stewart scored his first goal in a ’Backs’ sweater from the blue line with a man advantage, and Nick Hutchison and Ross Heidt also picked up goals in the first period.

The Centennials’ of-fence fizzled out in the second period, and the Silverbacks capitalized when Carson Bolduc struck twice drawing level at five.

Early on in the third period, Marcus Mitch-ell scored his first career BCHL goal, which end-ed up being the eventual

game winner. Heidt added an insur-

ance goal for the Silver-backs, his second of the game.

On Saturday eve-ning, Angus Redmond picked up his first shut-out of the season in an impressive display of offence by the Silver-backs. Matty Saharchuk scored just over three minutes into the contest and the gorillas never looked back, as Josh Blanchard, Bolduc and Heidt hit the Express for four straight power-play goals, before Hutchison wrapped up the scoring in the third period.

The ’Backs offence rifled an impressive 62 shots on Coquitlam’s starting goaltender Tyger Howat, while the Express were only able to muster 19 shots themselves.

Taro Hirose, Bolduc and Heidt started the game against Chilli-wack for the ’Backs, arguably one of the league’s best lines so far this season, combin-ing for 17 points in just three games.

Getting the nod in goal for Salmon Arm was Zach Dyment, and he was busy from the start of the game, shut-ting the door on a Chiefs breakaway only 30 sec-

onds into the game. Just a minute-and-

a-half after Chilliwack opened up a 2-0 lead before the midway point in the period, goals from Saharchuk and Heidt tied the game.

Saharchuk’s goal was the result of a relentless forecheck led by work-horse Colton Thibault, which led to a Chilli-wack mistake and a bit of luck as Saharchuk found the net from a nearly impossible angle in the corner.

Blink and you would miss Heidt’s league- leading sixth goal of the season scored on a two-

on-one with Bolduc, only 36 seconds after Saharchuk’s goal.

Chilliwack would score once more in the period, which led to Dyment being pulled after giving up three goals on only six shots.

On the power-play, California import, Jared Turcotte scored his first BCHL goal, levelling the score at three. After the high-octane start to the game, play in the second period slowed down and Chilliwack looked to sit on their one-goal lead after Jor-dan Kawaguchi put them ahead 4-3.

With six minutes left in the game, Hutchi-son scored an equal-izer, which breathed life back ion the game.

Overtime was needed to decide the game, but after 10 minutes and several great saves by both Redmond and Aidan Pelino, the game ended tied 4-4, with both teams splitting the two points. The ’Backs head to Chilliwack to face Surrey and Al-berni Valley on Thurs-day and Friday in the Bauer BCHL Showcase before returning home to face the Wenatchee Wild on Friday, Oct. 2.

Jeffrey leads the packIn a field of more than 115 runners, 15-year-old Chantel Jeffrey was the top female runner in the inaugural Fresh Air Hard Knox Challenge last weekend. The 12-kilometre course weaved its way through the streets of Kelowna, along some of the city’s multi-use pathways and up a gruel-ling portion of Knox Mountain Park. Jeffrey completed the course in 53:49.0. In the 740-me-tre Knox Grind Trail, Timothy Mundall was the series’ second fastest climber.

Field lacrosse gets underwayThe Shuswap Outlaws started their first 2015 field lacrosse season in Kelowna last weekend.The U11’s faced Penticton and won 8-5. The U15’s lost a nail bitter 11-9 to North Okanagan.

Games will be held on Monday nights from 8:15 to 9:45 p.m. at the Shaw Cen-tre. Players sign up individually and are placed on a team based on skill level.

’Backs roll with momentum

Kids enjoy the triathlon experience


Late effort: The Silverbacks’ Nick Hutchison holds off Chiefs de-fenceman Mark Esposito as he fires a close-range shot on Chiefs goaltender Aidan Pelino in the second period of overtime, in a game that finished 4-4, at the Shaw Centre on Sunday, Sept. 20.

There was a buzz of energy at the SASCU Recreation Centre last Sunday as kids swam, cycled and ran in a kids’ triathlon.

More than 45 kids from across the Shus-wap and Okanagan

participated in the 12th annual Kids’ Try-a-Tri triathlon. The local athletes with the fast-est times over the age of 14 were awarded the Kimmy Bews Memo-rial Award.

Julia Brown took

home the award as the top local female ath-lete, while Stephen Moore was the top lo-cal male athlete.

Katy Calkins and Cole Maybee set the benchmark in their re-spective under-seven

divisions. Ryder Mead and

Lucas Hansen tied for top spot in the boy’s 8-9 division while Sara Worton won the girls division.

In the 10-11 age di-vision, Julianne Moore

and Jacob Hepburn won their respective divisions.

Because the race was on the same day as the Terry Fox Run, orga-nizers donated part of the race entry to the Terry Fox Foundation.

Under the Fri-day night lights, the Salmon Arm Second-ary Golds kick-started their exhibition season with a 32-2 win over the Westsyde Blue-waves.

Golds’ running back Jase Roberts ran circles around the Bluewaves’ defence in their � rst exhibition game of the season at the SASCU Sports Complex at Lit-tle Mountain.

The Golds stormed out to a command-ing 20-0 lead after the � rst quarter, thanks to a touchdown from Rob-ert, his � rst of two on the night.

Robert’s 103 rushing yards helped propel the Golds to the command-ing win.

Led by Sage King on defence, the Golds did not allow the Blue-waves to score on of-fence, giving up two

points for a safety.The Golds will look

to carry their momen-tum into the next game on Friday versus Fulton Secondary in Vernon, before returning home to face Valleyview in the � nal exhibition

game of the season on Friday, Oct. 2 at 6 p.m.

Head coach Brad Schmidt and his squad look poised to make quite the impression in the BC High School Football Association’s AAA Varsity Paci� c

Division when they take on Seaquam Sec-ondary in Delta.

The Golds’ � rst home game of the regular season will be at Little Mountain on Friday Oct. 16 at 6 p.m. against Rutland.

Mother Nature decid-ed to throw a wrench into the gears of the 2015 SASCU Open Tournament, which took place at the Salm-on Arm Tennis Club over the weekend.

Due to the poor weather on Saturday many athletes decided to withdraw from the competition, leaving organizers to rework the tournament sched-ule.

Despite the damp weather on Saturday, play resumed Sunday much to the delight of the athletes who de-cided to wait. The � nal match in the women’s A doubles division proved to be a crowd pleaser as it went the distance in a tiebreaker.

Marietjie du Plessis and Loree Boyd defeat-ed fellow Salmon Arm Tennis Club members Shannon Hecker and Marianne VanBuskirk 4-6, 6-1, 10-5.

The tournament’s big

winners were Kelowna UBCO students Bran-don Fung and Audrey Chu who both won their singles A events as well their mixed A doubles event.

Chu and Fung de-feated Eva Koksalova and Cal Benazic 7-5, 6-4 in the mixed A doubles.

Mixed B doubles winners were Mari-anne VanBuskirk and Bob Langford over Marietjie du Plessis and Erasmus Bonthuys 6-1, 6-4.

Men’s A double part-ners Joe McFadden and Dan Wark outlasted Bob Langford and George Koscis 7-6, 6-4.

Fung defeated Mc-Fadden 6-0, 6-1 in the men’s A singles, and in the women’s A singles it was Audrey Chu over Eva Koksalova 6-2, 7-6.


Wild weather can’t dampen players’ spirits

Overhead winner: Joe McFadden plays an overhead shot at the net during a men’s doubles match in the 2015 SASCU Open Tournament at the Salmon Arm Tennis Club on Sunday, Sept. 20. McFadden and his partner Dan Wark won the men’s doubles tournament.

Home field advan-tage went the way of the Salmon Arm pee-wee Chargers as they hosted the Kamloops Broncos last Sunday in their home opener.

In a defensive battle, the Chrgers were able to defeat Kamloops 21-8. Scoring for the chargers was Dominic Kemitzis, running be-hind the solid blocking of the Chargers’ offen-sive line.

Ethan McPherson earned player of the game honours for his monster performance on defence and the huge holes he created for the Chargers’ run-ning backs.

The Chargers will face Kamloops again next weekend at Little Mountain at noon.

Jr. BantamThe undefeated

Kelowna Lions trav-elled to Salmon Arm Sunday to face the 1-1 Chargers.

In a reversal of the 2014 Peewee cham-pionship game, the Chargers came away victorious, earning a gritty 24-8 win over their rivals.

Featuring a strong rushing attack, the Chargers dominated the time of possession battle and continually drove the ball through the middle of the Li-ons’ defensive front.

Defensively, the high flying Lions’ attack was hindered through exceptionally hard-hitting play from the Chargers’ relentless defence.The Chargers’ next game is at home versus the Kamloops Blue Broncos, Sunday at 2 p.m.

BantamThe Salmon Arm

Bantam Chargers im-proved their Vancou-ver Mainland Football League record to 3-0 with a 33-8 victory over the Westside War-riors. The game was a battle between the only two undefeated teams to determine first place in the league.

Even though Ty-ler Chartier scored on the first offensive play from scrimmage for the Chargers, the first half was a defensive

battle, with Chargerss’ defensive second-ary shutting down the powerful Warrior pass-ing attack.

In the second half, the hard-hitting Char-ger ground attack start-ed to wear out the War-riors’ defence.

Travis Beer scored all four majors in the second half on runs from 40, 32, 2 and 1 yard respectively. Next up for the Chargers is the Mission, whom they will meet in Mis-sion on Saturday.

Peewee Chargers earn win

Evading the tackle: Riley McEown of the Salmon Arm Peewee Chargers slips away from a Kamloops defender’s tackle in the first quarter of the game at Little Mountain on Sunday, Sept. 20.

ARTS & EVENTS

Quirky, arty, eclectic and ready to perform, pop-jazz chanteuse Andrea Super-stein is the Salmon Arm Jazz Cub’s guest Thursday, Oct. 1.

Superstein is on tour to launch her sophomore album, What Goes On, produced by Les Cooper, a multiple award winning producer, arranger, multi-instru-mentalist and songwriter from To-ronto.

The ambitious production draws on Superstein’s background in musical theatre, her training as a jazz vocalist, and her love of ’90s “trip hop” acts like Portishead and Morcheeba – and it pulls them all together into a wonderfully playful and cohesive musical package.

Known to her contemporaries as “Super,” Superstein is in� uenced by the music scenes of both the east and west coasts.

A graduate of McGill Universi-ty, Superstein � rst honed her skills as a singer-songwriter in local cof-fee houses during her time there.

A new mother, this is Super-stein’s � rst time playing since last September and she says she is very much looking forward to

her Salmon Arm perfor-mance.

“I played here three years ago in 2012, in a church, and just had such a great time,” she says. “There was such a warm and wonderful response that I thought I have to get in touch again and

see if we can make it work for the tour.”

Superstein says that having trav-elled across the country on tour, she has discovered a lot of amaz-ing things happening in smaller towns.

“It’s amazing to discover all these little pockets of music and music lovers,” she says. “It’s com-munity driven and it makes me feel very welcome. That’s what I like, to connect with community; music is the thing but the connec-tion is important.”

The talented singer worked in musical theatre when she was younger and was a singer-song-writer in university. A move to Vancouver and working with jazz vocalists piqued Superstein’s curi-osity about jazz and took her to a summer Swing Camp at Sorrento Centre.

“I met all of Vancouver’s heavy hitters while in camp and I liked

the freedom of being able to re-interpret songs, make things new and experiment,” she says, noting she spent the next year just learn-ing songs. “It lit a � re in me again. I just kind of went for it and took chances.”

Superstein says she was sur-prised and elated that her � rst ap-plication to perform in the Van-couver International Jazz Festival in 2010 was accepted and earned her a Galaxie Award nomination for emerging talent.

“They gave me a gig and it was the encouragement I needed to get going,” she says. “I met people, got inspired and kept rolling.”

Superstein says it took some time to make What Goes On but is really happy with what she calls a genre-bending album. It has jazz at the core but includes elements of hip-hop and indie, incorporating a

lot of the music she loves.It is a love that shines through

this warm, wonderful, sometimes sultry and often quirky album.

The diverse repertoire on What Goes On includes a super sexy version of Bananarama’s Venus, a heavily Portissed-up rendition of Radiohead’s Karma Police, a sultry original about Superstein’s awkward � rst date with her now-husband (Just One Time) – fea-turing a chorus sung by the Juno-winning Good Lovelies – and a wistful rendition of I Love Paris, marked by gauzy accordion and moody bass.

Salmon Arm musician Jim John-ston says the Jazz Club has grown considerably since Jacob Verburg and Leon Power started it in the art gallery some six years ago.

“Where it really took off was when Sandy Cameron took it un-

der his wing,” says Johnston, not-ing Cameron moved to Vancouver Island two years ago. “He said ‘look after this thing’ and Jordan Dick has largely taken over the real hard work and is doing a great job.”

Johnston says the nightclub at-mosphere at Shuswap Chefs suits the Jazz Club very well.

Jazz Club performances take place at on the second and fourth Thursday night of the month and admission is a suggested donation of at least $10.

“The mandate is to provide a place for musicians to play and they make a respectable amount of money for their effort,” he says. “It treats them with dignity, respect for their art and lets them perform to an appreciative audience; their efforts are rewarded artistically and � nancially.”


Smooth and sultry: Singer Andrea Superstein will perform at the Jazz Club at 7 p.m. Thursday, Oct. 1 in the banquet hall at Shuswap Chefs.

Elizabeth Hay and Eleanor Wachtel, host of CBC Radio’s Writers & Company, are two in-ternationally renowned writers presenting in Shuswap Book Fest, a community event that aims to bring book lov-ers and writers together and build public dia-logue and discussion.

Hay, is the author of the #1 nation-ally bestselling novel Alone in the Class-room, the Scotiabank Giller Prize-winning novel Late Nights On Air, as well as three other award-winning works of fiction, A Stu-dent of Weather, Garbo Laughs, and Small Change.

Formerly a radio broadcaster, she spent a number of years in Mexico and New York City before returning to Canada. She lives in Ottawa.

An avid reader, Hay is forthright about the importance books play in her life.

“Books for me are a source of sanity, com-fort and release,” says the author who will make a presentation at 7 p.m. Friday at the Salmar Classic. “My life has always been books; it’s how I got through childhood and how I get through dif-ficulties…”

Hay will introduce her new book, His Whole Life.

Hay says her new novel is an explora-tion of the relationship between a mother and son.

“I wanted to have divided loyalties at the heart of the book,” she says, noting the story covers a span of seven years. “He’s an Ameri-can boy with an Ameri-can father and a Cana-dian mother. He lives in New York and every year he goes up to an Ontario Lake to spend time with his mother.”

Hay says inspiration for her novels comes from the things that pre-occupy her.

“I have a son and daughter so naturally

I am interested in re-lationships between parents and children,” she says, noting she is married to an American and has aunts and un-cles who moved to the States. “I lived in New York for six years so the tug between two places has been a huge part of my life.”

While she has read books exploring simi-lar themes, Hay did not think they had delved deeply enough into the issues.

In His Whole Life, Mom Nan also has an estranged son about eight years older.

“At the heart is the attachment between a mother and her boy. She is aware she will lose him (as he grows up), a kind of disper-sal that’s very loaded emotionally,” she says. “I explore emotionally loaded territory, fre-quently in family life.”

Hay describes read-ers as solitary people, who enjoy very private pleasure and says book fests bring people to-gether, creating a shared experience.

“It’s really marvel-lous to talk about some-thing you’ve just read,

it makes experience last longer,” she says.

Hay will be inter-viewed on stage by Okanagan College English professor Alix Hawley, whose latest book All True Not a Lie in It won the Amazon.ca/Walrus First Novel Award in 2015.

Presenting at 7 p.m. Oct. 1, Eleanor Wach-tel is the host and co-founder of CBC Radio’s Writers & Company, which is cel-ebrating its 25th anni-versary this season. She is the winner of the New York Festivals Award. She also hosts Wach-tel on the Arts, which features the best artists from around the world.

Wachtel’s most re-cent books are Origi-nal Minds and Ran-dom Illuminations: Conversations With Carol Shields. Wach-tel has been widely recognized for her con-tributions to Canadian cultural life, including eight honorary degrees and Officer of the Order of Canada.

Her unique talk, The Lives of Writers, will include interview clips with great writers and will look at several as-

pects of the relationship between the writer, their work and the readers.

Shuswap Book Fest promoter Miki Andre-jevic worked for an en-tire year with Okanagan College (president Jim Barmby to put what is hoped will become an annual event.

“The concept was to create a community engaging festival,” says Andrejevic, who has produced a number of different festivals.

A graduate in law from University of Bel-grade, Grant MacEwan University’s arts ad-ministration program, and the Banff Centre Arts Management Pro-gram, Andrejevic has a long and distinguished career in arts manage-ment.

“I volunteered to do this one; this is my con-tribution to my commu-nity,” says Andrejevic, who has a home in the North Shuswap and plans to retire to the re-gion he loves in the near future.

Tickets are available at Okanagan College, Wearabouts, Salmar and Classic theatres and online at www.Salmar-Theatre.com.

Multi award-win-ning Canadian comic Brent Butt is a happy guy who will share his hilarious take on life at the Salmar Classic on Monday, Oct. 5.

“I always try to look at the bright side; it’s always been my de-fault setting,” says the creator of the wildly popular sitcom Corner Gas, who finds many things funny. “I’m a pretty eclectic guy with a diverse taste in com-edy – goofy things, physical things, word-subtle – anything that kind of catches me off guard with a smart, clever twist.”

Eclectic comedy was the hallmark of Corner Gas, which ran from 2004 to 2009 in the sleepy town of Dog River, Sask.

“We didn’t really censure what kind of comedy we were gonna do; if the writ-ers came up with funny word joke or some-thing physical, we included it,” he says, pointing out it didn’t matter if it was broad

or subtle, if it was fun-ny, he wanted to find a place to put it in the show. “Authenticity is the key to everything, especially comedy.

Corner Gas took home three Academy of Canadian Cinema and Television awards, two Geminis and sev-eral Canadian Comedy Awards for Television.

Asked why he thinks the show became a worldwide sensation, Butt says when the writers and stellar cast were first making Cor-ner Gas, they assumed it would be a fun sum-mer – end of story.

“We felt we had somehow tricked the network,” he says, pointing out nobody worried about a second season. “We only fo-cused on doing a show we liked, and we were proud of…”

Whenever the show went on hiatus, Butt was back on the road doing stand-up rou-tines, something that earned him the Cana-dian Comedy Award for Live/Best Male Stand-up.

“Stand-up has al-ways been my thing;

the thing I wanted to do from the time I was 13 and before Corner Gas came up,” he says. “I don’t know why but it’s where I feel the most at home. For whatever reason, it’s the place I feel most myself. It’s the other 23 hours a day I don’t know what I am meant to be doing.”

Inspiration comes at many times and in many places so Butt has learned to carry a small notebook in which he jots down ideas.

“I shudder to think of the times I didn’t write it down,” he says noting that over his long and successful stand-up run, his eyes and ears have become trained to differenti-ate between what will work and what won’t.

Butt says each show is fresh thanks to the changing audience dy-namics.

“When you get hun-dreds of people in the same room, there’s no way for it to be the same every time,” he says. “You have to think on your feet; there’s no way to not

be present. That’s one of the things I love about it.”

Looking ahead, Butt says, as always, his company, Sparrow Media has a few differ-ent things percolating.

Comedian Jamie Hutchinson will be

Butt’s special guest.Tickets are available

at the Salmar Grand and Classic theatres.

St. Andrew’s Presbyterian Church will be alive with the sound of music this weekend.

Two outstanding South Ko-rean musicians, pianist Ju Yeon Shin and flautist Seong-Haw Kook will perform in concert at 7:30 p.m. Saturday, Sept. 26 and 2:30 p.m. Sunday, Sept. 27.

South Shuswap resident Cliff Wulff met Shin in 2003, when he worked in Seoul, South Ko-rea.

In 2005, he retired to Blind Bay and over the years Shin and her daughters visited the Shus-wap and fell in love with the region.

Shin, was born in South Ko-rea. She majored in piano at the ChuGye University for the Arts, and graduate studies at Sung-shin University for Women.

As well as receiving a diplo-ma from Bari Accedemia Nic-colo Piccini in Italy, Shin has performed with the Romanian

Giurgiu Philharmonic Orches-tra, the Seoul Academy Orches-tra and the Julla Symphony Or-chestra.

She is currently lecturer at ChuGye and Suwon Universi-ties, a regular member of Korea collaborative pianist Associa-tion and music director with the Daehan Music newspaper.

“She wishes to say thanks via her music,” says Wulff, noting Shin and another pianist per-formed a duo in Salmon Arm last year.

Flautist Seong-Haw Kook, born in South Korea, studied at the ChuGye University for the Arts in South Korea, Detmold University and Kunstlerische Susbildung in West Germany. She has performed in West Ger-many and with the Seoul Phil-harmonic Orchestra.

Talented Salmon Arm pianist Jaeden Izik-Dzurko will also perform.

The program includes Claude Boilong’s Suite No 1 and 5, Aires Valaques op10 Fantaisie

by Franz Doppler, Gabriel V. Faure’s Sicilienne 78, Medita-tion de Thais by Jules F. Mas-senet and Bizet’s Carmen.

Tickets are $15 for adults and $5 for students. Children under 12 are admitted free.

(NC) It’s back-to-school time and for most parents, this brings concerns about keeping their kids healthy.

Did you know that in Ontario, a dedicated group of registered nurses (RNs) work in Public Health specifically to focus on ways to keep our kids and the community in the best of health?

Public health nurses are part of a network of RNs who pro-vide highly skilled services and care. With their special training, these RNs work to provide a wide range of services and educa-tion from their public health units, and this includes work with our children on issues specific to them.

Public health nurses point out that there is a strong con-nection between health and many environmen-tal factors, so they teach kids about the practice of good health habits.

In addition to running immunization clinics, offering counseling and sexual health programs for teenagers, public health nurses have exper-tise when kids need help with speech, language, hearing or vision issues.

Parents can access public health for assis-tance and counseling. Take a look, for example, at the Healthy Schools program which was ini-tiated to ensure overall fitness, well-being and proper nutrition.

By working with whole communities, public health nurses educate and counsel patients, monitor health trends and iden-tify health factors specific to that location. They use their ex-pertise to design and deliver health education campaigns and implement disease-prevention and screening activities to keep kids healthy.

So as children go back to class, it’s good to know there are skilled and educated health advocates on our side. More infor-mation is available at www.ona.org/RNs.

Katherine JohnsonJan 28, 1928 ~ Sept 15, 2015

Johnson, Katherine passed away peacefully at the Comox Valley Se-niors Village on September 15, 2015.She was predeceased by Husband Arthur Johnson in 2003, and by par-ents Jacob and Sara (nee Enns) Martens.Her siblings; Sister Erna (George deceased) Thiessen, Brothers Henry (deceased) and wife Anne still alive, Jake (Sarah) and John (Su-san), Brother-in-law Roy Johnson (Minnie) and one Daughter Verna (Wayne) Llemky.The light of her life – grandson, Brad McEwen whom she looked after every summer during his growing up years. Several other special grand-children and great grandchildren. She is also survived by numerous nieces and nephews who we were very close to in our younger years.Kay was born in Graysville, Manitoba. The family resided there until she was about 15 when they moved to the beautiful Fraser Valley. The family struggled and worked very hard in the depression and they all became quite successful because they are all hard working, caring and gener-ous folks. Mom graduated from MEI in Abbotsford. She then took her nursing degree at Royal Columbian Hospital and graduated in 1951. She took on her fi rst job in Cranbrook and met and married Art there. Mom worked in many towns in British Columbia, mostly in the OR and ER until she retired at 65. She took a brief hiatus from nursing to own a fl orist shop in Revelstoke where there was only shift work in the hospital and she could not adjust to that so dad bought her a business. She kept a very strong connection with her nursing classmates for most of her life. Mom spent her whole life helping others. After she retired, she imme-diately started volunteering for Hospice on the North Shore of Shuswap Lake where there were no doctors. In 1996, mom and dad moved to Co-mox to be closer to us. As soon as she got here, she volunteered at the Filberg Lodge. Mom also looked after my dad for 10 years of ill health and when he passed away in 2003, she moved to live next to St. Josephs General Hospital. She fed the residents every day at lunch and dinner for several years. She was enjoying life to the fullest with walking, knitting, taking in plays with friends and helping in the hospital. So sadly, that fun time of her life was very short. She was run over by a car when she was in a crosswalk and was never able to live independently again. After long months of rehab, mom lived in Berwick for several years. When she was needing more help, she moved over to the Comox Val-ley Seniors’ Village. In both residences, the staff and other residents became like a family to mom and to her daughter as well. Kay’s fam-ily would like to extend heartfelt thanks to the residents and staff in both buildings she lived for their caring and sharing. Mom had her own family “care giver” at CVSV that was the epitome of perfection at her profession. Mom fought through many serious illnesses and accidents in her life and never complained but she fi nally just got tired of being so tough. Two very special ladies helped her through this phase, taking her for drives and walks and ice cream. They gave mom many wonderful hours of enjoyment. She was very fortunate to have Eda and Anne as friends.Kay did not like to be in the limelight or have any fanfare for her. There-fore, the family will respect her wishes that there be no service. She will be cremated and her ashes will join her husband and other family members. Donations to the charity of your choice in her name would be greatly appreciated.

George was born January 14, 1928.

He is predeceased by his loving wife Joan, son Gary, grandson Dustin, sisters Betty and Louise.

He will be remembered by Millie, sister Caroline, son Terry (Donna), daughters Georgina (Kerry) and Caroline (Darcy), 6 grandchildren, 11 great grandchildren, 3 great-great grandchildren and numerous nieces,nephews and cousins.

George enjoyed life: travelling, camping, golfing,curling and singing the tunes of Wilf Carter. He shared his love of music with everyone.

Younger years were spent raising his family,logging, fishing and hunting on the Sunshine Coast (Sechelt).

A special thank you to the caring andcompassionate staff at Salmon Arm hospital andKelowna hospital.

Friends and family are gathering at the SeniorCitizens Hall, 170 - 5th Ave. S.E., Salmon Arm,September 26 from 2 to 4 p.m. to celebrate his lifeand share stories.
