Court dismisses band’s appeal

An appeal launched by the Neskonlith In-dian Band regarding the SmartCentres shop-ping development has been dismissed by the BC Court of Appeal.

In a decision rendered Monday at the Van-couver Law Courts, Madam Justice New-bury, Mr. Justice Hall and Madam Justice D. Smith agreed that arguments put forth by the Neskonlith were not suffi cient to overturn a decision made in April by Justice Peter Leask in BC Supreme Court.

At that time, Justice Leask dismissed the Neskonlith’s re-quest for a judicial review. The band had argued that the City of Salmon Arm had a legal or constitutional obligation to consult with the band before is-suing the environmentally haz-ardous areas development per-mit for the SmartCentres site. The property is adjacent to the Salmon River, which borders Neskonlith land to the west.

Leask concluded that the duty to consult, when decisions may affect aboriginal rights or title, rests with the province.

The band had argued that because the province had del-egated some land-use decisions to municipalities with no over-sight from the province, the duty to consult also transfers to municipalities. Its argument included the concern that the property will fl ood, requiring fl ood-control measures. Those fl ood-control measures would then do damage to the environment and the inter-ests of the band.

Following the decision issued Sept. 24, a SmartCentres’ spokesperson told the Ob-server the company’s next steps haven’t been decided yet.

In an email, Sandra Kaiser, vice-president of corporate affairs for SmartCentres, wrote: “Our lawyers are in the midst of digesting the decision to provide us with a fulsome understanding of the implications of the de-cision. Once this has happened we will con-sider the next steps regarding our site.”

The Neskonlith band issued a news re-lease Tuesday, stating that the band “views the BC Court of Appeal decision as a narrow ruling on the SmartCentres development,

which provided no sound rem-edies despite our strong consti-tutional arguments that munici-palities should be required to consult on land-use decisions when First Nations interests are impacted.”

Chief Judy Wilson said the band is still considering its next steps regarding the decision.

“The court ruled that the city does not have to consult regard-ing this important land-use de-cision which will affect lands and the blue-listed species in the sensitive ecosystem of the Salmon River delta and fl ood-plain. Since they are the fi nal decision-maker, the province has also not consulted First Na-tions.”

“The next logical step fol-lowing this decision will be a constitutional challenge to the Local Government Act be-cause it does not include a duty to consult regarding land-use decisions that affect First Na-

tions.” She emphasized that, “we want to make it

clear that there is a serious fl ooding risk re-garding the proposed development and that the development is sited too low. Potential in-vestors should take this into account and the issue has to be addressed in order to protect

Police ID fl asher suspect

Salmon Arm RCMP have now identifi ed the sus-pect after an incident where an older man is alleged to have exposed himself to girls playing at the Canoe playground on Sunday.

“With the description that we had, we have iden-tifi ed an individual and are continuing our investiga-

tion into the incident,” said Staff Sgt. Kevin Keane on Tuesday.

The suspect has not been arrested or charged with a crime. He will not be iden-tifi ed unless formal crimi-nal charges are fi led.

The suspect was de-scribed as being in his 60s with a thick white mous-tache and white hair. He was wearing a white Tilley hat, a white shirt and blue

jeans.The man was driving

an older model, burgundy, Chevy S-10 truck, with a white canopy.

Police confi rm the man spoke to a number of the girls and gave them coloured markers.

If anyone has additional information on the inci-dent, contact the Salmon Arm detachment at 250-832-6044.

the Salmon River delta, an important ecosystem and traditional use area for First Nations and also an important area for wildlife, plants and fi sh.”

Mayor Nancy Coo-per said city council will be reviewing the decision with the city’s lawyers, but “it is posi-tive for Salmon Arm and, indeed, for all lo-cal governments.”

She explained by saying that if the ap-peal had been upheld, it would have far-reach-ing ramifi cations.

“If it was the other way around, it would call into question any decision that any mu-nicipality or local gov-ernment made.”

Nonetheless, Coo-per said she is thinking about the Neskonlith band and hopes to be in touch with Chief Wil-son later this week.

“I will be contacting the Neskonlith band through their chief, Judy Wilson, just to see how we can move for-ward together.”

Named in the appeal were respondents, the City of Salmon Arm and Salmon Arm Shop-ping Centres Inc., while the Union of BC Mu-nicipalities was granted intervenor status. The status was granted because the decision could potentially have had far-reaching effects for municipalities.

Justice Newbury ad-dressed three questions

in reaching her deci-sion: 1) Was the City of Salmon Arm subject to the Crown’s duty to consult and, where ap-propriate, accommo-date with respect to is-suing the development permit? 2) Might the issuance of the permit adversely affect the as-sumed aboriginal rights or title claims of the Neskonlith and 3) If the city was subject to a duty to consult, was that consultation ad-equate in this case?

She referred through-out her decision to a 2004 case involving the Haida Nation ver-sus the BC Minister of Forests, as well as a 2010 case featuring Rio Tinto Alcan Inc. ver-sus the Carrier Sekani Tribal Council. Among other things stated in the 38-page document, she wrote, with regard to the fi rst question, that municipal govern-ments lack the practi-cal resources to consult and accommodate First Nations.

“It is precisely be-cause the Crown as-serted sovereignty over lands previously oc-cupied by aboriginal peoples that the Crown in right of the province is now held to the duty to consult.”

She also wrote that it would be “completely impractical” for mu-nicipal governments to do so.

“Daily life would be seriously bogged down if consultation... be-came necessary when-ever a right or interest

of a First Nation ‘might be’ affected.”

As to whether is-suance of the permit might adversely affect the Neskonlith, she writes that the effect is “uncertain, indirect, and at the far end of the spectrum of adverse ef-fects” mentioned in the Haida case.

She states that the Neskonlith’s expert on fl ooding makes a number of important assumptions: “That the development would experience fl ood condi-tions (which Shopping

Centres says is doubt-ful given that it will be building only on the por-tion of the property that has been occupied in the past); that the fl ood-ing would be of such a level and of such dura-tion that there would be an ‘imperative demand’ for fl ood protection; that the public authori-ties would respond to such demand; and that they would do so either by modifying the river channel or constructing a dike along the river and below the Highway #1 bridge. It is far from

certain that all of these would come to pass.”

Regarding adequacy of consultation, Justice Newbury writes: “I con-clude that the process in this case was reason-able; that the Neskon-lith were fully and promptly informed of all the applications and amendments relevant to the permit and to the development generally; that they were given several opportunities to express their concerns; that their objections (and those of others) were taken seriously and did lead to mate-rial modifi cations of the planned development; and that the city’s de-cision itself lay within the range of reasonable outcomes.”

Salmon Arm RCMP are on the lookout for anyone sporting a wrestling medal after a few were stolen when a downtown home was ransacked on Sept. 13.

On that day, police responded to a suspi-cious occurrence after it was reported that an unoccupied residence appeared unsecured in the downtown resi-dential area of Salmon Arm. When RCMP offi cers arrived, they confi rmed a break and enter had occurred.

It was learned that neighbours heard a loud smash late in the eve-ning and noticed three young males wearing sweaters standing by the property earlier in the evening.

Suspects had kicked a panel out of the front door, creating a loud

smash before provid-ing access into the residence. The entire residence was ran-sacked and several items both of fi nancial and testamentary value were stolen. Some of the items stolen in-cluded Greco Roman Wrestling medals from Europe dated in the 1940s.

Revelstoke Forensic Identifi cation Section attended the scene and were successful in ac-quiring evidence.

Salmon Arm RCMP is requesting anyone with information re-garding the where-abouts of these med-als, or any further information regarding the involved suspects, to contact the Salmon Arm RCMP Detach-ment at 250-832-6044, or Crime Stoppers

at 1-800-222-TIPS (8477).

The Okanagan/Shuswap area has also recently fallen victim to a spree of vehicle thefts, again specifi -cally targeting early 2000 year models of Ford and Dodge pick-up trucks.

Salmon Arm RCMP is encouraging com-

munity watch groups and citizens to main-tain a close eye on our streets at night and to report suspicious per-sons or vehicles.

A 36-year-old Salm-on Arm man died Fri-day night in a single vehicle crash near the intersection of 30th Street NE and 20th Av-

enue NE, close to the turnoff to the Salmon Arm Airport.

Michael Cleveland of Salmon Arm was ejected from his pick-up truck during the crash and died in hos-pital shortly thereafter.

At 11:45 p.m. on Fri-day, Sept. 21 offi cers from the Salmon Arm RCMP detachment re-sponded to a call about a single vehicle colli-sion.

Witnesses described hearing loud screech-

ing of tires just prior to the sound of a crash.

A pick-up truck had left the road and was in the ditch. The driver, and sole occupant of the vehicle, was found laying nearby.

“BC Ambulance at-

tended to the scene and transported the driver to hospital. Unfortu-nately, the driver suc-cumbed to injuries sus-tained in the collision and died at hospital,”

says an RCMP press release.

Police continue to investigate the matter; however, speed, alco-hol and failing to wear a seatbelt appear to be

contributing factors in this fatality.

Father renews fi ght for pre-paid gas

Doug de Patie is be-yond frustrated that it seems to take death before legislators take action on pay-before-you-pump legislation to protect workers from gas-and-dash crimi-nals.

De Patie has been a vocal lobbyist for the policy change since his son Grant, a gas station attendant, was dragged more than seven kilo-metres under a stolen car during a gas-and-dash robbery for $12 worth of fuel in Maple Ridge on March 8, 2005.

Due in large part to de Patie’s efforts, the B.C. government instituted a pay-fi rst policy for gas stations in 2008, wide-ly known as Grant’s Law. But de Patie has been frustrated in his attempts to get simi-lar legislation passed across the country.

Now another death in Toronto has de Patie, who now lives in Blind Bay, renewing his calls for laws to protect gas station workers. Jayesh Prajapati, 44, died Sept. 16 after he was hit by an SUV at the Shell station where he

worked. The driver was fl eeing without paying for $112 worth of gas.

“It’s taken two deaths, two deaths that could have been pre-vented to get us to this point,” says de Patie, who admits to feeling bitterness and even a sense of guilt over Pra-japati’s death.

“I’ve talked to On-tario before, I’ve had discussions with min-isters of labour, but I wonder if I didn’t try hard enough. Now that there has been a death in that province, we’re seeing some action.”

Mike Colle, a Liberal member of the Ontario legislature, is formulat-ing a private member’s bill that would require drivers to pay up front for their gas.

“Pay-before-you-pump works,” says de Patie. “Since the leg-islation, the crime of gas-and-dash has been reduced to zero, as long as the station is in com-pliance.”

There have been ar-guments made against the pay-before-you-pump law, including the potential cost to gas station owners to con-vert gas pumps to ac-commodate a pay-fi rst

system. But what really bothers de Patie is the notion that the pay-fi rst system might inconve-nience drivers.

“It’s a few seconds for people against the

loss of someone’s son or husband,” he says.

De Patie is also hop-ing that if the law passes in Ontario, it may catch on in other provinces as well.


Frustration: After another worker was killed in a gas-and-dash robbery, Doug de Patie is continuing to lobby for pay-before-you-pump laws.

PUBLIC NOTICERECALL AND INITIATIVE ACT

This notice is published pursuant to section 4 of the Recall and Initiative Act.

Approval in principle has been granted on an application for an initiative petition. The petition will be issued to proponent Dana Larsen on Monday, November 19, 2012 and signature sheets must be submitted to the Chief Electoral Officer by Monday, February 18, 2013.

The Title of the Initiative is:An initiative to amend the Police Act.

Summary of Initiative:The initiative draft Bill entitled, “Sensible Policing Act” proposes to amend the Police Act to no longer use provincial police resources on the enforcement of current laws in relation to simple possession and use of cannabis by adults. The draft law would prohibit the use of provincial police resources for this purpose, would require police to report in detail to the Minister of Justice any actual use of resources for this purpose and why it was necessary, and require the Minister to publish that report. The Bill also proposes that the Province would call upon the Federal Government to repeal the federal prohibition on cannabis, or give British Columbia an exemption, such that British Columbia is able to tax and regulate cannabis similar to the regulation of alcohol and tobacco. As well it proposes that British Columbia shall establish a Provincial Commission to study the means and requirements necessary for the province to establish a legal and regulated model for the production and use of cannabis by adults. Last, the Bill would make non-lawful possession and use of cannabis by minors an offence similar to possession and use of alcohol.

The Shuswap Branch of the BC SPCA and a kind-hearted animal lover are caring for a pair of kittens who were found abandoned inside a bag near Chase.

A passerby found the bag on a road at Star Lake and, to her hor-ror, discovered two kit-tens who were barely alive inside along with four deceased kittens

who had been crushed, likely by the wheels of a vehicle. Another de-ceased kitten was found near the bag.

“The Good Samari-tan kept one of the kit-tens and brought the other one to us,” says Barb Gosselin of the Shuswap SPCA. “She is a long-haired tabby, about three to four weeks old. She was

extremely hungry and in rough shape when she came in, but we warmed her up and bottle fed her and she responded well.”

Gosselin says the kit-ten is now being nursed by a shelter cat who had just fi nished nurs-ing her own litter.

“We are very hopeful that the little kitten, now named Rose, will make

a full recovery, but we are urging anyone who may know who dumped the kittens at Star Lake to please call the Shuswap SPCA at 250-832-7376.”

Abandoning animals is against the law and is punishable by a maxi-mum fi ne of $75,000, up to two years in jail and up to a lifetime ban on owning animals.

Kittens left to die on road After the ordeal: Rose, a three-to-four week old kitten who was found abandoned in a bag near Chase. While the kitten was hungry and in poor health when it was brought to the shelter, it is hoped she will make a full recovery.

OPINION

SALMON ARM OBSERVER

Editorial

Change isn’t easy for most of us. Sometimes we require a little prodding to do things in a dif-ferent way. This was the case when the B.C. gov-ernment instituted Grant’s Law, which included a requirement for gas stations to require their patrons to pay before pumping their gas.

The law was named to remember Grant de Patie, a Maple Ridge gas station attendant, who was dragged more than seven kilometres under a stolen car during a 2005 gas-and-dash robbery for $12 worth of fuel. Initially, some gas station own-ers were resistant, citing increased costs to con-vert gas pumps to new technology. Another con-cern was customer complaint. Some said requir-ing drivers to pay before pumping gas was an unnecessary inconvenience, requiring additional time for consumers.

After the law was passed, however, a different picture emerged. The crime of gas-and-dash has been virtually eliminated, thereby saving gas companies previously lost revenue. There are also savings realized to all taxpayers as police are no longer being called out to investigate this type of crime and the justice system is no longer dealing with these types of thefts on a regular basis.

By and large, B.C. residents accepted the new system with minimal fuss. With the advent of a similar death in Ontario, Grant de Patie’s father Doug is now renewing his fight to bring in similar legislation across the country. B.C.’s experience shows a simple change such as pay-before-you-pump can have far-reaching implications, includ-ing where it counts most — helping to protect lives.

Grant’s Law needed coast to coast

Rick ProznickPUBLISHER

Good step for communityNancy Turner bubbles with enthusiasm as she speaks of the

wapato, or Indian potato as it’s also called, that has been success-fully reintroduced in the Salmon River delta, a root vegetable that was once a staple of the Neskonlith people living in the area. Late Neskonlith elder Mary Thomas remembered her granny wading into the water and pulling up the tubers.

Turner exudes the same excitement when she speaks of the large high-bush cranberry that was discovered thriving in the delta, a bush that Mary Thomas picked berries from as a girl, and her mother and grandmother would have picked from too.

Turner was speaking this weekend at a workshop, Meeting our Aboriginal Neighbours Again for the First Time, sponsored by First United Church and Switzmalph Cultural Society. Turner is an internationally-esteemed ethnobotanist who spent years with Thomas, learning about plants in the Salmon River delta.

Following the blessing given by Splatsin elder Ethel Thomas, which concluded with the traditional phrase, “All my relations,” Turner spoke about never taking other species for granted, be-cause we’re all related and interdependent.

Bonnie Thomas and Dorothy Argent of the Switzmalph Soci-ety spoke about the restoration of the Salmon River watershed. Argent said Mary Thomas came to city council in 1991, more than 20 years ago, concerned about the degradation of the delta and the disappearance of plants. From this, the Salmon River Watershed Roundtable was born. Now, 65 per cent of the water-shed has been restored. Argent spoke of Mary’s wisdom, noting she often said: “People only look after what they know about.”

And so the workshop went, providing many speakers with in-formation about initiatives and partnerships ongoing for the delta, and providing cultural information so people got to ‘know about’ each other. A sense of kindness and community prevailed.

In keeping with tradition, Bonnie Thomas presented thought-ful gifts to Nancy Turner, Neskonlith Chief Judy Wilson and Mayor Nancy Cooper. To Wilson and Cooper she beaded eagle feathers, one for home and one for work. She recognized the hard work leaders do and said people keep the feathers to give them strength. As well, eagles have excellent vision and leaders are expected to provide long-term vision.

Salmon Arm Mayor Nancy Cooper said, in her opening re-marks: “City hall is just across the street, but in some ways, it’s a long way away.”

To underline that statement, just two days later, a ruling was delivered on the lawsuit involving the city, SmartCentres and the Neskonlith band – emphasizing the distance between city hall and the band. In my mind, a lawsuit is a failure in human rela-tions, evidence of the ‘not knowing’ that Mary Thomas spoke about countering.

With the success of the weekend’s workshop, which close to 150 people attended, another step has been taken to ensure that in the future the community – with all its diverse members – will be more likely to act in consideration of “all its relations.”

THE VIEW FROM HERE

Martha Wickett


VIEW POINTThe Observer asked:

Hugo Rampen“An affordable department store It wouldn’t even have to be part of a chain.”

Karen Horton“An expanded Sears department store.”

Marty Bootsma“All of them.”

Ralph Segreto“A Target store.”

Robyn Keating“Something affordable for people with families.”

What retail store would you like to come to Salmon Arm?

While in the hospital waiting on a special-ist, I noticed a plaque on the wall, Bully Free Zone. A couple of months ago Premier Dal-ton McGinty of Ontario declared, “zero tol-erance for bullies.” The news this morning announced the NHL lockout is continuing. I don’t know whether to rejoice or cry.

The owners want a bigger slice of the pie. Since they believe in the golden rule – those who have the gold, make the rules; they feel perfectly justifi ed in making whatever de-mands they wish. On the other side are the poor hockey players.

All they want is to have what they consider

a fair share of all proceeds made at their ex-pense. What about loyal fans? Can you be-lieve after the last lockout, they returned in even greater numbers than before, and paid a higher premium for tickets to watch what? More bullying? Yes!

The club owners hire enforcers. To do what? Take out those skilled players, who can score goals. Concussion, such as was meted out to Sidney Crosby, is his problem, but it is also ours. Why should we continue to accept bul-lying in sport? Well, some consider hockey, sport.

Humans are a strange animal.

It seems that much of our global village is caught up in bullying. From global nationals, to manufacturers to the local business person.

Each tends to squeeze the one below. We know everyone needs a job. But at what price? Manufacturers will come to our community, if we give them a big enough tax break, and other concessions, like a compliant workforce, that will work for something less than a living wage. If this isn’t bullying, then what is?

Is bullying endemic in our society? What are we going to do about it?

Dan MacQuarrie

Going to a fair meant that politics was one of the last things on my mind. That was prior to talking to Tom Birch from the BC Con-servatives, Steve Gunner from the BC NDP and people at the anti-smart meters bench. Seeing all this and… nothing from the BC Liberals. Nothing, no presence, absolutely nothing. To my mind this is a fairly strange bell-weather event but there it is.

Having a talk with all these people I was convinced that the Liberals are a dying breed.

This has more or less been confi rmed in On-tario as well with two byelection losses. The Liberal brand is in full retreat mode and the next election in B.C. promises more of the same. Replacing the better (retiring) MLAs with either unproven MLAs or ones that have zero credibility was a desperate act. I have heard such “luminaries” as Vaughn Palmer (No one listens to Vaughn Palmer do they?) or Sean “confl ict of interest” Leslie (CKNW) and I’m left with the conclusion

that none of these men knows truly what the average British Columbian is thinking. Some will call this beyond belief and will point to it being so informal. In my mind that is what makes it so valuable (and so telling). From my perspective, the Liberals are going to be lucky to outpace the Green Party or the Marijuana Party, never mind the NDP or the Conservatives.

Biking 100 kilometres made for a perfect day! Thank you organizers of the Bike for Your Life Century Ride. On a brilliant sunny day an amazing group of people joined togeth-er to ride a beautiful challenging route. Even the hill was good.

Après ride, standing in the cool shade eat-ing corn on the cob, burgers and fresh fruit, chitchatting with fellow riders, hmm all good. Generous door prizes too. Great job, great day! Thanks to two fellow riders, Big John who fi xed my fl at (very much faster than I

could have) and Pat for her bike pump. Good karma to two people who defi ned the conge-nial spirit of the event.

Oh my God, Premier Clark might be right after all. Maybe there is a virulent virus in-fecting the halls and closets and backrooms of the B.C. Legislature.

First the NDP party members started back-biting each other, then the BC Liberals started and now the BC Conservatives are doing the same thing. The ‘political sickness’ has got so bad John ‘Ping-pong’ van Dongen, the only BC Conservative MLA, has abandoned his

party leader, John Cummings, just like he re-cently abandoned Christy Clark.

Apparently the symptoms of this Victorian strain of the ‘sickness’ are the same as those for rabies: partial paralysis (of the brain), anx-iety (about answering questions), insomnia (worrying the truth will come out), confusion (about who you can trust), agitation (with the media), abnormal behaviour (spending taxpayers’ money foolishly), paranoia (con-

stantly looking over your shoulder for rivals), hallucinations (believing the voters love and respect you) and progressive delirium (think-ing you can be premier forever).

I’m willing to defer to Christy Clark’s ex-pertise on this matter because she’s been suf-fering from all the symptoms ever since she became the leader of the BC Liberal party.

In response to Pat White’s letter of Sept. 12, please allow me to offer a quote directly from the World Health Organization (WHO) website on the subject of health effects of exposure to low-power electromagnetic fi elds such as those used by cell phone tow-ers:

“In the area of biological effects and medical applications of non-ion-izing radiation, approximately 25,000 articles have been published over the past 30 years. Despite the feeling of some people that more research needs to be done, scientifi c knowledge in this area is now more extensive than for most chemicals. Based on a re-cent in-depth review of the scientifi c literature, the WHO concluded that current evidence does not confi rm the existence of any health consequences from exposure to low-level electro-magnetic fi elds.”

The radio frequency signals from cell towers are similar to those in use for many decades in televisions, radios and other household devices. Health Canada and B.C.’s provincial health offi cer also affi rm that the low-power signals from cell phone towers and wireless meters pose no known health risks.

We understand how important wire-less service is to the local economy, public safety and preserving property values, so we are working hard to en-sure wireless service coverage and ca-pacity are there when needed.

1919 Alderman J.D. McGuire an-nounced the provincial government had agreed to spend an extra $1,000 on roadwork in this area, the money to be used for improving the road from Salmon Arm to Gleneden.

1929 The new $25,000 steamer S.S. Whitesmith was launched at Sicamous and christened by Mrs. F.C. Whitehead. The new boat was not much larger then the C.R. Lamb which it replaced, but had a propeller drive instead of a stern wheel, and was copper-clad to allow her to cope with Shuswap Ice. Master was Captain J.J. Smith.W.J. Reder won the contract and began con-struction of the new $29,050 provincial gov-ernment building at the intersection of Hudson street and Shuswap avenue.

1939 J.D. McGuire disposed of the last section of the old family homesite, 3.5 acres on the south side of the Old Enderby road, opposite McGuire Lake. The new owner was C.O. Johnson of Kamloops, who was planning Salmon Arm’s fi rst auto camp.Numerous children were away from local schools as chicken pox was making the rounds.

1949 Miss Hazel Olson and Miss Dobson were being trained as operators of a new ledger keeping machine, which was expected to revolutionize procedures at the Canadian Bank of Commerce in Salmon Arm.The fi rst snow of the season fell on Bastion Mountain.John Allan, chief of Salmon Arm’s volunteer fi re department tendered his resignation to council.

1959 RCMP found their radar setup near the Larch Hills Corner was doing little business. It was not until several hours later that they discovered a printed sign further up the road which was warning motorists.N.P. Steacy, provincial agricultural minister, had high praise for the Salmon Arm Fall Fair. The fair endured two days of steady rain with the result that all horse activities were can-celled, for the fi rst time.

LIFE & TIMESLIFE & TIMES

A wish to reconnect with a woman who he met ever-so-briefl y has turned into a media extravaganza beyond belief for a Salmon Arm dentist.

“Never in my wildest dreams did I intend nor thought that this would garner such attention,” Sandy Crocker told the Observer in an email Friday.

Crocker, 34, who has a clinic in Kelowna but travels to Acorn Dental in Salmon Arm once a month to do intravenous sedation for extractions, is amazed. His quest to fi nd the woman he spoke with for about two minutes while on holiday in Ireland last year has been picked up by media throughout Ireland and Canada.

“Initially it was to be a very, very passive search,” he writes. “I was dreaming that possibly I may have a second chance encounter with this girl somewhere in Ireland. I spoke briefl y with a local paper who thought it would be a nice community interest piece. However, timing is everything. When I arrived, unknown to me, there had just that day been an accident which claimed the lives of a well-known and respected family, the economy is down, tons of negative news daily. People were ready to turn the page and read something nice. So when my story was published in a community paper, people took to its sincerity. Within 48 hours every radio station in the country and some TV shows and all the national papers had a feature. It was overwhelming...”

Even Irish bookmakers are taking bets on whether Crocker will marry the woman or if

she’s already married. Crocker told the Irish Sun

newspaper that he was eating lunch with his brother in Ennistymon, County Clare on July 9, 2011 when he met the woman – in her mid to late 20s with freckles and reddish-brown hair.

“We were on our way to the Cliffs of Moher that morning and we stopped in Ennistymon to grab a bite to eat,” he is quoted. “She was eating and I didn’t want to interrupt her meal so I waited until I noticed that she was leaving and I spoke to her then. I asked her for directions to the cliffs. I was leaving Ireland a day later so, at fi rst, I didn’t see the point in pursuing things more – but after she left I decided that I had to. We paid our bill quickly and myself and my brother started looking for her.”

Although they searched the town and cliffs, they could fi nd no trace of her.

Back in Canada, he continued to think of her. A few weeks ago he decided to go back.

He is quoted: “I went back to work and my life – but there was always a joke here or there from my brother about the Irish girl in Ennistymon. She never left my mind, so I decided, why not go back and try to fi nd her? Maybe it’s a shot in the dark but if it is meant to be, if it’s fate, then I might bump into her walking down the street or in a shop somewhere. Who knows what might happen?”

However, he told the Sun, he’s prepared if she’s married.

“If I meet her again and it turns out she is married to a nice fella – the kind of guy who gives her a hug if she is crying before he asks her what’s wrong – then I don’t think I would have a problem with that. But who knows, maybe she hasn’t found her person – it’s a 50/50 chance. At least I can say I gave it my best shot no matter what way this turns out.”

He told the Observer in his email that there have been some leads, “but as I say this is a somewhat passive search...” He said his goal was to get the

message out and if she would like to contact him, she can.

“Otherwise I am continuing my travels and will let fate take its course.”

Asked what attracted him to this mystery woman, he told the Observer: “The depth in her quality and character – something in my vague description of the girl is truly refl ected in what other Irish men see in their wives and girlfriends, which is why they can relate and how this story has become so popular over here.”

Back at home, Crocker’s friends and co-workers at Acorn Dental are adding their support.

“He is the nicest man. We love Sandy, and we always joke about fi nding him a girlfriend, fi nding him a wife,” says Andrea Pyle, business manager. “And it’s so weird this has happened. We always joke we will fi nd him a Salmon Arm girl or wife.”

She says she had no idea about his quest until she received a call in the middle of the night from a radio station in Ireland.

“We knew he was going to Ireland, but we didn’t know what he was going for. He travels quite a bit. We got a call in the middle of the night from Irish National Radio. I had to listen to it quite a few times to understand it.”

And now, Crocker has a whole group of cheerleaders at Acorn Dental.

“Those kind of encounters, when you have that kind of connection, are pretty amazing,” says Pyle. “We think nothing but the best of him. It would be wonderful if he found that.”

Politicians to practise power of persuasionNot only do Colum-

bia Shuswap Regional District directors have ideas of what to bring up at the Union of Brit-ish Columbia Munici-palities this week, they have a script.

At the suggestion of CSRD board chair Dave Raven, chief adminis-trative offi cer Charles Hamilton prepared a list of seven key issues directors might wish to raise with provincial offi cials and other del-egates. Hamilton noted rural policing, fl ood protection and mitiga-tion, the Trans-Canada Highway, and funding for critical infrastruc-ture such as water and sewers are priority is-sues. Number one on the list, the adequacy of rural police resourc-es has been raised at the board for several years. In February, the board passed a resolu-tion to send to SILGA (Southern Interior Lo-cal Government Asso-ciation) calling for the province to review its police resource model to better serve rural ar-eas. SILGA endorsed the resolution, which will be raised at this week’s UBCM conven-tion.

In terms of fl ood pro-tection and mitigation, Hamilton noted the regional district is cur-rently seeking a legal opinion as to whether provincial legislation requires CSRD to un-dertake responsibility.

“In the aftermath of the recent fl ooding in Sicamous and Swan-sea Point area, various provincial offi cials have indicated that the local authority is responsible for carrying out fl ood protection and mitiga-tion works,” Hamilton wrote. “This position is contrary to Board Pol-icy W-5 which states, among other things, that the regional district will not respond to fl ooding incidents.”

Next on the list, Hamilton outlined the long history of fund-ing appeals for the Trans-Canada High-way and the need to four-lane the corridor

between Sorrento and Golden. Hamilton also reminded directors that the current level of in-vestment in municipal and community infra-structure does not en-able regional districts

to address deteriorating or obsolete infrastruc-ture. He notes that gas tax revenue is simply insuffi cient to fund new, large-scale capital proj-ects such as upgrading abandoned water sys-

tems or implementing approved liquid-waste management plans.

Another cause for local concern is senior government downsizing and insuffi cient resourc-es to deliver mandates

and better enforcement tools on area lakes.

Hamilton notes all three levels of govern-ment have some form of legal jurisdiction over lakes, rivers and streams. And while se-

nior governments have stronger regulations to compel compliance, they do not have ade-quate staffi ng to follow up on violations such as illegal docks and buoys, or harming fi sh habitat.

“As a result, residents turn to the regional dis-trict to take enforcement action, even though in most instances we do not have legal author-ity to impose effective remedies,” he wrote.

Sunny skies graced the Salmon Arm Tennis Club’s largest tournament of the year, the SASCU & SATC 2012 Open Tournament, held Sept. 21-23.

Tournament director Doug Rawson worked hard to ensure that matches ran smoothly and without a hitch. The level of play was top-notch with participants travelling from Nelson, Harrison Hot Springs, Vancouver, Prince George, Williams Lake, Vernon, Kelowna, Kamloops and more.

Club president Marianne VanBuskirk says she is extremely proud of the club for putting on the event.

“We have an organized club pro (Doug Rawson) who also coached one of our local juniors (Cameron Graham) to participate and do well in his fi rst open tournament,” says VanBuskirk. “Also, without the help of volunteers who prepared food and took care of clubhouse and court maintenance, the tournament would not be possible.”

Mike Knights and Meryl Ogden, (Vernon); 2nd: Eva Koksalova (Kelowna) and Craig Tillander (Vernon).

• Mixed doubles conso-lation – 1st: Ian McHarg and Supha Phonchiangk-wang (Vernon); 2nd: Steve Bradwell and Marianne Van-Buskirk (Salmon Arm).

’Backs acquire ViperThe Salmon Arm SilverBacks have announced the acquisition of 17-year-old forward Riley Hunt from the Vernon Vipers in exchange for future considerations.The diminutive forward is listed at 5-ft 5-in tall and 155 lbs, but Hunt’s game packs much more punch than his measurements. The Revelstoke native made his BCHL debut with the Vipers last season. As a 16-year-old he recorded one goal and fi ve assists in 49 games while earning a scholarship to Harvard University for the 2014-2015 season. The addition of Hunt is expected to provide a spark and some grit at the forward position for the SilverBacks. “Riley is a player that is going to bring energy and enthusiasm to the rink with him every day. He is hard to play against and is not afraid to go into the tough areas,” said GM Troy Mick. While several players have worn the Vipers and SilverBacks colours, this appears to be the fi rst direct trade between the two arch rivals.

Speedy racers take course in their stride

Rebecca Howard and Riddle Master fin-ished off their event-ing season in style.

She writes on the Eventing Nation web-site: “It was clearly important for me to go rock my next major competition. However wanting it will nev-er be enough for any

endeavour, but I was feeling well prepared with a good month of reflecting and riding behind me.”

Rock it, she did. At the CCI 3* event

in Blenheim, England, Riddle Master was dealing with a sore neck, so was not at his best during the dres-

sage phase. However, he made up for it in the cross-country and sta-dium jumping events, putting in clear rounds over both.

He now gets a couple of months off in the English coun-tryside while Howard checks out other hors-es to train.

After three weeks of BCHL action, the prognosis hasn’t really changed for the Salm-on Arm SilverBacks.

Gorilla goals have been hard to come by and with their most recent result, a 5-0 loss at home Saturday to the Penticton Vees, the club has now been blanked three times in fi ve games.

Head coach Scott Robinson, on the job now for close to two weeks, says there’s a number of reasons, fi rst of which is the turn-over behind the bench. Robinson is the sixth ’Backs head coach in fi ve years but he and assistant coach Bran-don West plan to be in for the long haul.

“It’s our job now as a staff to get everybody on the same page as fast as we can,” said Robinson.

Another factor is the seeming lack of co-hesiveness among the forward lines.

“Initially we’re working hard but when we do create turnovers, we’re spectating a little bit,” said Robinson. “We’ve got to work on being available op-tions – 29 shots (versus Penticton) is OK but our quality chances are quite low.”

Perhaps another thing to chalk it up to is that some of the more talented offensive players such as Ryan Schwalbe and Carter Lukenda are still fi gur-ing out the BCHL as

rookies. “When you’re a fi rst-

year (player), eventu-ally you have to have some good things hap-pen,” said Robinson. “I don’t think they are comfortable right now; we’re just working and hoping those good things happen sooner than later.”

Salmon Arm has brought forward Brock Balson back to the mix after he fi nished last season with the Kam-loops Blazers and Troy Petrick, Alex Gillies and Brandon Mistal will be counted on as well.

“It’s going to be a process and we have to be patient but where

we will not be patient is with work ethic and second efforts,” said Robinson. “We’ve all got to contribute; we’re not playing with a short bench so everyone is getting an equal oppor-tunity.”

The frustration was evident Saturday at Shaw Centre when forward Jeff Kennedy initiated an altercation at the Vees bench and has since been handed a two-game suspension by the league.

“I’ve already met with him and said, ‘This is not what we’re all about and that’s not the response to a tough night,’” said Robinson.

The light schedule

recently has been good for quality practice time, though goalten-ders Adam Clark and Colin Dzijacky would probably argue more game action would be nice. For Robinson, who was named BCHL Coach of the Year in 2004 and 2007 with Cowichan Valley, be-ing back in the league is a great thing.

“In particular, being in Salmon Arm – if I could pick from all the teams, this would be it,” said Robinson. “I’m happy to be here; there’s lots of famil-iar faces around the rink and we’re trying to do as much as we can around the com-

munity.”Salmon Arm goes in

search of their fi rst goal on home ice Saturday as the Langley River-men visit Shaw Centre for a 7 p.m. faceoff.

Salmon Arm’s Colton McCarthy is making his presence felt in the KIJHL.

McCarthy, playing for the Nelson Junior Leafs in the Kootenay Inter-national Junior Hockey League, has been key in early season games.

Versus the Castlegar Rebels, Mc-Carthy buried two, the second tying the game at fi ve apiece and sending it into overtime.

Two overtime periods solved nothing and the rare KIJHL tie was the outcome.

Leafs head coach Frank Maida said one of the bright spots in the opener was the 16-year-old rookie.

“Colton had a great weekend,” Maida said.

“He is going to be a player to

watch for fans. He already has inter-est from the BC Hockey League and the Western Hockey League.”

Then, this past Thursday night, Nelson powered past Grand Forks and the Border Bruins’ 1-0 lead to win 2-1.

McCarthy scored once in the sec-ond period and again, with just a minute remaining, to secure the win. The Leafs are sitting with a 1-1-1 record.

Local EaglesA number of Salmon Arm players

are on the Sicamous Eagles’ roster in the KIJHL. They include: Joel Kipp, Nathan Grieve, Aidan Nisse, Nicho-las Astastewicz, Andrew Nunn, Jus-tin Murray and Cam Olson.

Salmon Arm Minor Hockey Association opened its 51st year of operation this week.

The Midget Female team will host the fi rst local tourna-

ment on the Sept. 28 weekend while the Midget Rep team will host their annual tournament on Oct. 5, 6 and 7. An additional 12 other tournaments will be host-

ed by SAMHA throughout the year. Check the SAMHA web-site for information on practice schedules, tournaments and clinics, or call 250-832-0095.

Good night: The Leafs rookie Colton McCarthy fi ghts off a Castlegar Rebels check during Sept. 14 action at the Nel-son and District Community Complex. McCarthy scored two goals in the 5-5 tie.

It was a day for shar-ing knowledge, deep-ening connections and moving towards a shared vision.

Close to 150 people were present for “Meet-ing our aboriginal neigh-bours again for the fi rst time,” a daylong work-shop Saturday jointly hosted by First United Church and the Switz-malph Cultural Society.

“It was an over-whelming success for us all,” said Bonnie Thomas of the Switz-malph Cultural Society, one of the organizers and daughter of late Neskonlith elder Mary Thomas. “My mother would have been so proud of the bridges that were built that day and the opportunity for more to come.”

Mayor Nancy Cooper agreed.

“It was very informa-tive for me. Sometimes we get a little one-sided. It’s good to sit down and hear what other people

have to say.”Presentations in-

cluded: • an overview of the Salmon River delta restoration from Bonnie Thomas and Dorothy Argent of the Switzmalph society; • traditional plants and cultural uses at the delta from internation-ally recognized ethno-botanist Nancy Turner; • contemporary sci-ence meets traditional knowledge and wisdom from Alex Inselberg and Warren Bell; • cultural story-telling from per-former Ken Thomas; • update on the Mary Thomas Heritage Sanc-tuary and eco/cultural tourism initiative from Bonnie Thomas and • a new environmental pro-gram and partnership at Salmon Arm Second-ary from teacher David Ramsay.

Gifts were presented to leaders, including a walking stick Bonnie Thomas made for Turn-er. She explained that Turner was extremely excited when they found a high-bush cran-

berry bush on the delta, plus as they explored she would fi nd feathers and respectfully hand them to Thomas.

Thomas beaded cran-berries on the walking stick as well as a bear

claw, to symbolize both Mary and Bonnie’s be-longing to the bear fam-ily because they’ve both had twins. She added a feather so Turner would always have a feather from the delta.

Building bridges over delta

Gratitude: Renowned ethnobotanist Nancy Turner holds gifts she received for all her work identifying indigenous plants in the Salmon River delta, much of it with late Neskonlith elder Mary Thomas. Bonnie Thomas, beside her, created the special walking stick she’s holding.

ARTS & EVENTS

This year marks the 100th anniversary of the birth of legendary folk singer, Woody Guthrie.

His life and times will be celebrated at Shuswap Theatre Sept. 29 and 30 with a show that includes stories about Guthrie, lots of photographs, and local musicians performing 20 of the more than 2,000 songs he wrote.

His was a philosophy of inclusion:“I hate a song that makes

you think that you are not any good. I hate a song that makes you think that you are just born to lose.

“I am out to sing songs that will prove to you that this is your world and that if it has hit you pretty hard and knocked you for a dozen loops, no matter what colour, what size you are, how you are built. I am out to sing the songs that make you take pride in yourself and in your work.”

This weekend’s celebra-tion will feature at least 20 local performers in a multi-media Guthrie Centennial show, including actor David Balser, an accomplished actor and musician who worked with Caravan Theatre and was once part of Perth County Conspiracy.

Also on the bill: Jake Jacobson, Kim Macmillan, Marg Shand, Bill Remphrey, Blu Hopkins, Kelly Hopkins, Miranda Mclaws, Pamela Dettwiler, Heather Saw-yer, Sue Kyle, Alan Bates, Richard Owings, Ed Beggs and Doug Stuart.

This summer, Jacobson – “instigator” and longtime folk music enthusiast – invited a handful of writers and performers to see if a

Woody Guthrie Centennial celebration was possible – and it was. The script, written by Peter Blacklock and Bill Remphrey, provides a lively overview of Guthrie’s life and the lives of the people he sang for and about.

This special production will in-corporate a soundtrack, videos and slides, plus narration and songs. And audience participation is high-

ly encouraged – the audience is defi nitely invited to sing along.

“Guthrie’s work is as relevant now as when it was written, as we continue to face growing con-cerns about rising inequality, poverty, environment deg-radation, unjust wars and loss of democratic freedoms,” says Shand. “Many of his songs fi t into today’s Occupy m o v e m e n t ,

which has raised public awareness about the grow-ing wealth and infl uence over politics by the ultra-wealthy one percent.”

One of the most prophetic things Guthrie ever said was to his boyhood friend, Matt Jennings, back in Texas when he was still a teenager: “I hope to write a song someday that a lot of people would know, and sing it.”

Not only did he do that, but This Land is Your Land was so well-loved, a Canadian version of the song was adapted. The song,

written as an annoyed response to Irving Berlin’s God Bless America, which he considered too complacent, Guthrie var-ied the lyrics over time, sometimes includ-ing more overtly political verses.

Enjoy the genius of Woody Guthrie per-formed by great local talents this weekend. Profi ts from the centennial concert will go to support the people that Woody sang for: “the

d ow n -on-their luck folks” who get help through local food banks, says Shand.

The show plays Saturday, Sept 29, at 8 p.m. and on Sunday, Sept. 30 at 2 p.m.

Admission is by donation so pay what you can at the door.

Worth the wait!Aimie Laws’ new

single I’ll be waitingis a hauntingly lovely acoustic anthem to love and longing.

She penned the song about a year ago when her ex, a fi sherman, was preparing to go to sea for three months – pouring her feelings into a song that took an unusually brief 20 min-utes to write.

Laws, who says she’s is in a happy place with a new boyfriend, is ex-cited but a bit anxious about adding video to the song.

A homegrown prod-uct, Laws went with other local talents to produce both the single and the video.

The song was re-corded at Jesse Clarke’s Earthtone Studios and the video was recorded with former boss and friend Bram Hermsen of Hole in the Wall Pro-ductions/Bram Michael Photography.

An acoustic recording with cello, acoustic gui-tar and acoustic base, Laws says she tried to keep I’ll be Waiting very raw.

Accompanying Laws on her new single are Jesse Clarke on guitar, Tyler Matthews on bass

and Darrin Herting, playing the cello.

“Vocally it was the biggest challenge I’ve ever had in the record-ing studio,” she says, praising Clarke, who provided “huge” help. “It’s a happy song, a love song. If anyone has ever had to wait for someone, they’ll feel it – I hope.”

Laws says making the video was a challenge, particularly re-living the goodbye scene.

“I got a friend to do it, but it was really weird to act something out that was happening, but not happening,” she laughs. “The main rea-son for making the vid-eo is to say thank you to everyone for helping to get me to where I am today.”

Laws is referring to support she asked for when she put a record-ing on You Tube. It got an amazing 1,000 hits in no time from friends and fans.

Produced by Laws, the video was shot ex-clusively in the Shus-wap – Marine Park wharf, Canoe, Sunny-brae, the Java Jive and the Barley Station.

“I’m excited and I’m nervous,” Laws says. “If it was just a song, I wouldn’t be, but it’s a video, so it shows part

of my private life.”I’ll be Waiting, will

be available to down-load following its re-lease Sept. 30 at www.aimielaws.com.

The single will be released on Patrick Ryley’s morning show Monday, Oct. 1.

The video will get its debut at the River-front Pub Friday, Oct. 5, where Laws will share the stage with Austra-lian singer-songwriter Sarah Eider.

Laws is working on a

new EP and perhaps a late-spring tour to New-foundland. Whatever the plans, she knows she’ll be very busy, hav-ing just made the tran-sition to relying on her music to pay the rent.

“The biggest thing is you can’t quit; if you do you’ve just wasted all that time,” she says. There were times I said ‘screw it I’m going back to school.’ Then I thought, ‘no, I’ve put too much time into this.’”

No more need to wait

New sounds: Aimie Laws has a new sin-gle and her fi rst professional video.

Season previewActors Fred Green, Elaine Holmes and David MacAuley perform in a scene from Mending Fences during a preview and open house held Saturday evening at the Shuswap Theatre.


Celebrate the beauty of the Salm-on River delta and the importance of water to the planet and humanity this Sunday.

The Switzmalph Cultural Society hosts a traditional gathering at the Secwepemc traditional village site at the Salmon River Delta – turn right off the Trans-Canada High-way across from Fischer’s Funeral Home and follow the road towards the river.

The popular annual event to cel-ebrate Secwepemc traditions and Rivers Day takes place from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. Sept. 30.

The always-festive occasion be-gins with a community potluck lunch between noon and 1 p.m. The salmon return is very low this year,

but organizers are hopeful they can offer barbecued salmon and ban-nock for a $5 donation.

The organized portion of the pro-gram begins at 1 p.m. where there will be displays, river tours, the an-nual fi sh race raffl e, which has been a great hit for the children, as well as traditional native dancers and other events.

Don’t forget to pick your salmon by 2 p.m.

There will be some native crafts for sale, and as the society wishes to support local artisans and craftsper-sons, there will not be any set-up fees. Email [email protected] for artisan/craftsperson registration.

Don’t forget to take an item for the potluck lunch.

SWITZMALPH ANNUALTRADITIONAL GATHERING

SundaySeptember 30, 201211 am – 4 pmIn conjunction with International World Rivers Day

• NEWS • PHOTOS • VIDEOS and more...

Salmar Theatre’s popular dance series resumes Sunday, Sept. 30 with the Bolshoi Ballet production of La Sylphide.

Settle yourself into a Scottish manor house.

It is the morning of James’ marriage to Ef-fi e and he is asleep in his armchair. A winged fi gure, a sylphide, is kneeling by his side.

She kisses him on his forehead and he wakes up confused. Entranced by the vision of the sylph, he attempts to capture her, but she es-capes him; she reaches the fi replace and van-ishes up the chimney.

Troubled, he wakes his companions but none of them have seen her. Gurn, James’s rival, arrives and learns that James is infatuated with someone other than Ef-fi e.

The preparations for the wedding are in full swing. James hardly no-tices Effi e; instead she is wooed by Gurn whom she ignores. James joins in the preparations but gradually realizes that, as Effi e dreams more and more of the wed-ding, his own dreams go far beyond the walls of the manor-house.

An old woman, Madge, has slipped un-noticed into the hall to warm herself by the fi re. James, sensing that she is a sinister presence, takes an immediate dis-like to her and cannot bear to see her sitting where he last saw the sylph.

He orders her to leave,

but Effi e calms him and persuades him to let Madge tell the fortunes of some of the guests.

The sylph once again shows herself to James, declares her love for him and tells him they belong together, Gurn enters and, believing that he may have caught James talking to another woman, attempts to re-veal the situation to Ef-fi e but fails

As the wedding fes-tivities begin, the sylph reappears and, unable to resist her enticements, James follows her into the forest. Effi e is left broken-hearted.

Follow the action into the mist-shrouded forest of the second act, Sun-day, where magic and malice reside and where some are rewarded by love and others learn lessons of loss .

It is James who dis-covers that in trying to possess the unobtain-able he has lost every-thing.

The ballet runs at 1 p.m. Sunday, Sept. 30 at the Salmar Classic Theatre.

This year’s dance series also features bal-let companies from the Nederlands Dans The-ater and London’s Roy-al Opera House.

The 2012-13 season’s Bolshoi Ballet offerings include The Pharaoh’s Daughter – Nov. 25, La Bayadère – Jan. 27, The Rite of Spring – March 31 and Romeo and Ju-liet – May 12.

The Nederland Dans Theater presents Move to Move on Feb. 17 and

from the Royal Opera House comes La Fille Mal Gardée on Oct. 14, The Nutcracker Dec. 16 and Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland on April 21.

Tickets are $22 for adults and $11 for youths. Adult season’s passes are $158 and $79 for youths.

The Salmar’s other popular satellite series, Live at the Met resumes Saturday, Oct. 1 at 9:55 a.m. with L’Elisir d’amore.

Other productions in the new season in-clude Otello – Oct. 27, The Tempest – Nov. 10, La Clemenza Di Titto – Dec. 1, Un Ballo in Maschera – Dec. 8, Aida – Dec. 15, Les Troyens – Jan. 5, Maria Stuarda – Jan. 19, Rigo-letto – Feb. 16, Parsifal – March 2, Francesca da Rimini – March 16 and Giulio Cesare – April 27.

Tickets are $24 for adults and $18 for children and students.

An adult season pass is $230 and a student/child pass is $172.

Satellite beams in two series

Love and loss: Live from Moscow, it’s the return of Salmar The-atre’s satellite screening of La Sylphyde. The dance series begins Sunday and the Metropolitan Opera series starts Oct. 13.

Guest Presentation:Visioning – Strategic PlanningIan Clements – MA Economics

TIME OUTARIES (March 21-April 19): You’re spending the week building towards a Full Moon in your sign. You’re determined to end a situation that long out-wore its usefulness to you. Don’t waste the blessings on petty emotions. Embrace the chance to be clear, believe in yourself, and use more of your talents.TAURUS (April 20-May 20): The most important activity is taking place under the radar, behind closed doors, and deep in your psyche at night. Your dreams help you purge the depths of your frustrations, allow-ing you to wake up lighter. Change can happen in-stantly. GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Are you able to practice absolute love and acceptance, non-detachment and open heartedness, with every one of your friends? Friends might impose themselves in ways that can lead to discomfort. You can choose to minimize con-tact and skip meetings of social groups. CANCER (June 21-July 22): Your career is where all the action is. You want a goal so bad it’s palatable. Recognize there’s only so much you can do. There’s no need to push a specific outcome. There is an over-all positive trajectory, even if it doesn’t feel like it. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): “Mad Men” illustrates what Advertising Execs will do to secure an account, often providing a complete, polished prototype of their work without an official yes. You’ll have to be pre-pared to provide your own version of a prototype this week for the shot at a larger audience. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): What are you ready for? Upon reading that, you’ll either sense excitement, or dread. Most likely, you’re feeling a bit of both. The quick closures, final signatures, and closing chapters clarify a new start is overdue. Enjoy each step to-wards a metamorphosis.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Signs are pointing to inte-gration of your past struggles, so they’re now seen as blessings. A chapter has ended. Now it’s time to get excited about your life’s direction. Look forward to a moment where you’re more brilliant and able than you ever imagined. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): You’re almost there, rearing towards the end of the frustration you’ve felt. It will likely go out with a bit of drama, excitement, and over the top displays. You’re getting ready to re-lease that indefinable feeling you’ve gotten used to and claim your power. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): You’re unable to contain your joy. It’s part of the sense of freedom you’re connecting to now. There might still be ques-tions, but with hope, your fears diminish. A big finan-cial deal could go either way. Make sure the farm is secure and well. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Your attention is drawn towards matters of home and family, perhaps unexpectedly. Surprises come up and you find calm within a flurry of action. If your inner resolve is strong, you’re strengthened with each step, proving leadership in every area of life.AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): The Moon through your sign slowly edges towards Mercury and Jupiter, making you one of the greatest beneficiaries of their fortunate meeting. You have an uncanny way of turn-ing questions into powerful advantage, allowing you to make the most of a big week. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): This might not be the best time to make a risky financial bet. An opportuni-ty comes through a friend, but could end up costing more than anything you see in return. If the opportu-nity is good, you’ll get another chance.

Salmon carving gets faceliftLike the living, breathing fi sh,

a carved wooden salmon is un-dergoing a life cycle of its own.

In 2002, First Nations carver John Sayers and a group of seven First Nations students carved the fi sh out of a large cedar log that came from Kitwanga in north-western B.C. It took them about six weeks, including evenings and weekends.

They made it on behalf of Neskonlith elder Mary Thomas because she had done so much work for the Salmon River water-shed. The group of students who

created it – Josh Arnouse, Dana Arnouse, Chelsea Hooper, Hat Pooly, Simon Smith, Malcolm Testawitz and Joe Thomas – in-cluded her grandchildren.

The 15-foot carving, complete with a knot that stretches through the width of the fi sh to form eyes on both sides, was placed on the breakwater in Salmon Arm Bay. A plaque was made and presented with it, but Sayers said he doesn’t believe it was ever erected.

Then, after 10 years, the wood-en fi sh decided to go for a swim. With the high water and wave action in the bay in early July, it was found fl oating near the ma-

rina. Now, it’s sitting on pallets in front of the Sullivan campus of Salmon Arm Secondary, where it will be brought back to its former self. The students – once again including grandchildren of late elder Mary Thomas – will be cleaning it up, removing varnish and then painting a mural on it designed by student Chloe Ab-bott. The mural will depict some of the natural landscape of Salm-on Arm.

It will be up to the students what they want to do with it. Pos-sibilities, says Sayers, would in-clude setting it up either inside or outside the school.


Spruce up: SAS First Nations support worker John Sayers, art teacher Chris Scheilke and student Chloe Abbott sand the carved salmon that used to be set up on the breakwater at Marine Park.
