Rapattack documents raise questions for mayor Consistency named prime reason for cancelling room and board at local base. Martha Wickett salmon arm observer

Details behind the planned closure of the Rapattack base in Salmon Arm seem to reveal motivations other than practicality. They’ve also prompted further questions from Salmon Arm Mayor Nancy Cooper. In September 2016, staff at the Rapattack base, which was

established in the 1970s, were told by staff of the Ministry of Forests, Lands and Natural Resource Operations (FLNRO) that the room and board option at the base was to be cancelled. In October 2016, Salmon Arm council was notified of the planned closure, with catering at the barracks to end on Jan. 1, 2017 and housing on Jan. 1, 2018. During the 2015 fire season,

six aircrew staff and 36 rappel staff were housed onsite. Provincial government background documents and emails obtained by the Market News show little, if any, benefits to the decision announced to close the base, other than “consistency.” In a July 25, 2016 FLRNO internal Information Note Continued on A2

According to documents posted on the website of the Adams Lake Band, Chief Paul Michel has been removed from his position. The document states that on May 5, the band’s community panel received a petition submitted by Nelson Frederick Leon for the removal of Paul Fergus Michel. The four-member community panel had 30 days from receiving the petition, which requires 10 signatures, to investigate and render a decision. “…As a result of the investigation, the Adams Lake Indian Band Community Panel hereby removed Paul Fergus Michel as chief of the Adams Lake Indian Band effective June 4, 2017 for the breach of his ‘Oath of Office’ (five violations). The consensus of the Adams Lake Indian Band Community Panel is that Paul Fergus Michel’s penalty is for two terms and is effective immediately with the penalty commencing 2017.” Paul Michel could not be reached for comment prior to the Market News’ deadline, nor could the petitioners. Michel has been in office since December 2016. Michel has stated previously his belief that the community panel is flawed. In a statement that was posted on the band’s website in April, he wrote: “As discussed on the February 23, 2017 general band meeting, there was consensus that Adams Lake has a Customs Election Rules flaw that allows a Community Panel to disrupt our Adams Lake Band governance and that allows for potential abuses of power. For example, Adams Lake since my election on December 15, 2016 has been without a Continued on A5

The annual net costs to government (after staff contributions) to supply these services exceeds $119,000 annually. “BCWS continues to make significant efforts to eliminate inconsistencies in all aspects of staff’s working environment. “Staff within BCWS Salmon Arm Base have exhibited a history of bypassing supervisors when they disagreed with decisions; this type of response is anticipated on this issue.” Under ‘Discussion’ it states: “Elitism and special treatment have combined to create a barrier between rappel crews and other firefighting crews and staff around the province. Breaking down this barrier by treating Salmon Arm staff in the same ways as the rest of the province will contribute to the larger FLNRO team culture.” A Sept. 16 email from “a member of the BC Liberal Party” to Steve Thomson, FLRNO minister, and several other MLAs including Premier Christy Clark, urged a reversal of the decision: “The investment (in the Salmon Arm facilities) has already been made and the costs of providing the lodging and food

Please check into the closing of this camp as well as the consistency plan. There has been a very negative ripple effect among the ministry’s firefighters and their families and friends with respect to how taxpayers’ monies are spent/invested…” The documents also include a Salmon Arm Rappel Base Catering Services Contract Review. It notes that at the Salmon Arm base, “staff are charged rent, whereas all other bases, where there is onsite accommodation, BCWS staff are housed free.” A cost/benefit analysis of the catering services lists no overall cost but, instead, a total positive recovery benefit of $45,000. “The cost analysis completed above demonstrates that the base does have a net positive benefit from this service,” states the contract review. Cooper did a quick perusal of the docu-

ments obtained and told the Market News the reasoning for closing the base doesn’t add up. “They’ve talked about ‘consistency, consistency,’ and yet

it (the document compilation) does show there’s an advantage to having them (the rapattack crews) here; it even shows there’s a net positive benefit for the food services. I think some of the things they’re saying don’t add up.” Cooper noted that the forests in this region are some of the best anywhere, yet the plan to close the base

might save a mere $119,000 versus millions of dollars for the forests that could be jeopardized by wildfire. She said council will keep pushing to keep the base operational. “We’re not going to give up on it, it’s too important for Salmon Arm to have this here.” Shuswap MLA Greg Kyllo said he’s going to check with the ministry to see if the decision is going to be reversed. He said he knows Minister Steve Thomson had said he was willing to review it, after receiving information from Salmon Arm council about vacancy rates in the community. “I’m less inclined to get into why the decision was made initially, but to look to the future,” Kyllo said. He noted that accommodations remain for now and he hopes catering will be reestablished in the future. “Again that’s not my decision and I hope that clear minds will prevail.”

Proposed cuts dropped

Environmentalists, educators and MP voice strong opposition to DFO plans. Barb Brouwer Salmon Arm Observer

It’s a fish tale with a happy ending – at least for another year. The federal department of Fisheries and Oceans recently reversed a decision to cut funding to a number of programs that would potentially have longtime, detrimental effects on salmon habitat. “It’s still a good story,” says environmental educator Kim Fulton, who was very vocal in his condemnation last week. “But now with the twist of how the citizens who know the value of this program were able to influence government.” Local environmentalists and educators were dumbfounded and angered by last week’s surprise announcement that Fisheries had slashed funding to Stream to Sea contracts (education co-ordinators who facilitate raising salmon in the classrooms and the deep learning that goes with it), the Resource Restoration unit, steelhead and trout enhancement at federal facilities and technical assistance contracts. Education support contracts cost about $400,000 per year, about 0.2 per cent of the department’s annual budget. The Stream to Sea program reaches about 35,000 students across the Pacific Region. About one half of B.C.’s population has participated in a classroom salmon incubation project. “In my view, after 35 plus years involved in these exemplary pro-

About one half of B.C.’s population has participated in a classroom salmon incubation project that is part of the Stream to Sea project. grams it is very shortsighted and in fact ridiculous to cut them.” Fulton, a teacher for 32 years, continues to teach children in School District #83 and #22 by leading programs and projects through Wild B.C., a branch of the Habitat Conservation Trust Fund and the Salmon Arm Bay Nature Enhancement Society. “School District #83 and #22 are very active and thousands of kids have participated and continue to participate in this program,” said Fulton, noting one already knowledgeable Grade 1 student recently expressed excitement about getting eggs in the classroom next year. “How do I tell this kid they’re not getting eggs next year?” Fulton says quite often adults approach him to say they remember releasing their salmon into one of the local rivers as a highlight of their education. “It’s more than just salmon, it helps kids develop a broader stew-

ardship ethic, which helps create projects that support all kinds of fish and wildlife and ecosystems,” Fulton said. An indignant Neskonlith Chief Judy Wilson took exception to the fact it appeared an infusion of federal funds to the Coast Guard and salmonid protection on the Coast was made at the expense of inland fisheries and salmon habitat. “Lifting protection of streams opens it up to mining and forestry,” she said, noting First Nations have underlying title to the land and resources. “If they abdicate, our laws will be there and they are more holistic.” Equally alarmed, North Okanagan-Shuswap MP Mel Arnold was planning to create a petition that he would take to the House of Commons. Conservative deputy critic for Fisheries Oceans and Canada’s Coast Guard, a twoterm past president of the BC Wildlife Fed-

eration, past president of four years with the local Fish and Game Club and member for more than 20, Arnold called the cuts unconscionable. “These programs have been in place for decades; we have biologists who got their first glimpse of salmon in the school program,” he said. “Last fall we worked with DFO staff employed through the salmon enhancement program at the Salmon River, helping those fish get up the river. Fisheries biologists helped guide a dozen or more volunteers to do that work and far less costly than government could have done.” Fisheries and Oceans Canada’s Pacific Regional staff were informed June 3 that the department will undertake contracts to provide education and technical support for Community Involvement Program activities including the Stream to Sea education program for the next fiscal year Aug. 1 to July 31, 2018.

Rain worsens flooding risk Barb Brouwer Salmon Arm Observer

Rain is expected to play a critical role in terms of flooding in the Shuswap over the course of the weekend. David Campbell, head of the Ministry of Forests, Lands and Natural Resource Operations River Forecast Centre, says that while water levels in Shuswap River have declined somewhat over the last few of days, the forecast for rain beginning Thursday is a very real concern. He says the water level in Shuswap Lake is close to 2012 levels, but two-and-a-half weeks earlier than the usual freshet. Salmon River levels have improved over the past week and the influence of melting snow is probably over for the year. The snow pillow at Park Mountain that feeds into Shuswap River is 115 per cent of normal, down from last week’s 150 per cent, which Campbell says is potentially good news for the snow melt. “We’re in the thick of it now,” he says. “I think the next two days will be telling. If we don’t

see a rise in the headwaters, it will be a positive sign that snow will be less of a factor.” If it were just about the melt, Campbell says, the Shuswap might be through “the worst of it.” But, like 2012 when the Shuswap experienced severe flooding during a freshet that was fattened by a rainy June, weather will be crucial this year. And the forecast is not promising. Environment Canada meteorologist Cindy Yu says local weather is transitioning to a week of cooler, wetter weather, likely edging in late Thursday afternoon. “Thursday through Saturday will be showery, with 10 to 20 millimetres of rain,” says Yu. “We do have the risk of thunderstorms being embedded, with potentially 40 mm of rain.” The slow-moving low pressure system will also bring cooler temperatures. There’s the potential for a one-day break from the wet weather on Sunday or Monday, but then it’s likely back to a pattern of cooler, showery weather, says Yu.

Rescuers worth support

Just recently, the Sooke District approved $2,500 (albeit with a bit of reticence) to help the local Royal Canadian Marine Search and Rescue unit stay afloat. Pun intended, but it’s not so funny when you look at how they manage that. Just to pay for the gas in their boats, the organization, run entirely by volunteers, has to host bottle drives, beer and burger nights and silent auctions, among other tiny avenues of finding revenue. No doubt, the Sooke community stepped up, every single time, which is fantastic. However, doesn’t it seem wrong for an essential service, one that people’s lives depend on, to have to constantly go begging for money? What if the Sooke Fire Department (mostly volunteers too, by the way) was funded the same way, and they’d have to do fundraisers to pay for the fuel in their firetrucks? We’d be livid! The issue sadly goes beyond Sooke, as we’ve seen numerous cuts by the provincial and federal government to search and rescue as well as coast guard operations all across B.C. Entire divisions were closed down overnight without a peep, while others were left to scavenge and make do with what they got; some even resorting to using their own boats for search and rescue missions. Regardless of how you look at it, that’s embarrassing and discouraging to the men and women who go out there and risk their lives on their own time and dime to save others. The age-old argument that marine search and rescue doesn’t do enough to justify more money falls flat when you look at recent marine tragedies. After all, when we are out there on the water and we’re in trouble, we’d rather see a light and a voice coming through that thick fog instead of the still darkness calling us to the depths. –Sooke News Mirror

Course fishing about quantity the gReat outdooRs James Murray What do northern pike minnows, peamouth chub and carp all have in common. Well, for one, they are all considered coarse fish and, for another, they will all be species of special interest in less than a month’s time at the annual Salmon Arm Kid’s Fishing Derby being held Sunday, June 18 down at the end of the Salmon Arm wharf. Angling for coarse fish is not all that complicated. If nothing else, it is a great way to get kids into fishing. When it comes to catching fish, young anglers are more interested in quantity than quality – they’d rather catch a bunch of coarse fish than fish all day for one nice trout. They want action, and casting a line into most waters will produce some sort of coarse fish. They may not be pretty and you may not be able to eat them, but they are easy to catch and that is probably their only virtue, as coarse fish essentially live off the

eggs and fry of more desirable sport fish such as trout and salmon. When fishing for so-called ‘sport fish,’ an angler will more often than not have to seek their quarry by moving up and down the banks of a river or stream to find holding pools, or by making their way along the edge of the shoal or drop-off of a lake. Coarse fishing, on the other hand, requires far less moving around on the part of an angler. Instead of going after fish, you let the fish come to you. Even the kind of a rod required is different. Rather than a fly rod, which is most commonly used for trout, or a heavy drift rod often used for salmon, most coarse fish are caught on light spinning gear spooled with four- to eightpound test line. Personally, I prefer to use a long, thin, flexible rod, around 10-feet long, with a soft flexible tip that allows me to feel each nibble and bite. When fishing with light

line, it also only makes sense that you will be using smaller terminal tackle – the smaller the hook the better. Basically all that’s required for terminal tackle are some small split-shot weights, a swivel or two and a few small lures such as a Dick-nite or silver Len Thompson spoon to attract pike minnows and chub, and for carp, a bait hook, some split shot and a couple of floats. Pike minnows are fairly aggressive feeders and will often strike the moment your lure or bait hits the water, while carp tend to peck at their food several times before swallowing. When a carp shows interest you will feel a number of small rapid taps on your rod tip or notice a gentle bobbing of the float. Always wait until the fish has committed fully before setting your hook, and try not to set the hook too hard or you may end up ripping the hook out of the fish’s mouth. Keep in mind that only a small amount of bait is required on the hook. Too much bait and you end up feeding the fish rather than catching them. Most coarse fish are fairly aggressive feeders and will strike at anything they come across. Carp are a little more selec-

tive and tend to feed closer to the bottom, so you need to make sure your bait is suspended just above the bottom. Carp can be taken on dough ball, worms and bait such as shrimp. The trick to catching coarse fish is getting your bait into their feeding zone or passing your lure through the zone. If a coarse fish sees what you are offering they will typically go after it. They can be easily caught in streams, rivers and lakes throughout the province between the months of May and September. They can be found in relatively shallow waters of little more than a foot deep; however, most often they are found in waters at least five feet deep. Mature coarse fish can often be found hiding in weed beds and near underwater structures where they can swim out and attack their prey – which, like I said, is often pretty well anything that comes their way. One place that I know for sure where an angler can catch coarse fish is off a dock or wharf – such as the Salmon Arm wharf come June 18 - where they hide in the shadows waiting for food to come their way.

Hall hosts world-class acts Barb Brouwer Salmon Arm Observer

Carlin Hall continues to be a venue that supports live music and world-class musicians. Living up to their standards for excellence, Carlin Hall organizers host world-renowned guitarist Claude Bourbon and highly acclaimed bluegrassers the Slocan Ramblers this month. “Bourbon does not present a ‘same old, same old gig,’” says Carlin Hall rep Jane Stephenson. “If you’re curious as to what medieval and Spanish guitar might sound like, Claude is the musician you want to hear.” Playing on more than 100 stages across the world every year, Bourbon will share his immense talent at Carlin Hall next week. The French-born guitarist grew up in Switzerland, receiving classical guitar training. Feeling limited by written music, the artst began to explore folk, blues, jazz, and rock music. He is highly acclaimed for his finger-picking style; plucking, picking and strumming at such speed that his fingers seem to appear just as a blur. Whether playing traditional melodic delights or his gorgeous version of the Rolling Stones’ Angie, Claude Bourbon leaves his audiences in rapture. The Slocan Ramblers are a group of four Canadian musicians

who are rooted in the tradition of bluegrass music. They are an energetic, dynamic band, and anyone who hears them becomes a fan! According to their website, they “tap the rough and rowdy heart of the music.” They know when to be precise, edgy, and fragile. With Frank Evans’ vocals/banjo, Adrian Gross’ innovative mandolin solos, Darryl Poulson’s flat picking, and Alastair Whitehead’s beats on the upright bass, the Slocan Ramblers will “stand up, lean into the music, and push harder for that edge just beyond.” “At Carlin Hall, we continue to recognize touring world-class musicians,” says Stephenson. “Whether a resident of, or a visitor to the Shuswap, we look forward to seeing you start your summer season at the Hall for these two concerts. You will continue to appreciate what goes into becoming musicians of this calibre; meeting them up-close and personal.” Claude Bourbon performs at 7:30 p.m. Friday, June 16 and the Slocan Ramblers appear at 7 p.m. Wednesday, June 21. Tickets for Bourbon are $15 and available at the door. Tickets for the Slocan Ramblers at $20 are available at Acorn Music in Salmon Arm, with a limited number at the door.

Tori Jewell,left, Sharon Dyck and Diane Jewell perform at Carlin Hall on Sunday, June 4 in a concert to raise funds for victims of the Sunnybrae mud slide. The concert featured artists who performed many of the numbers from the recent Coast-toCoast Thru Music concert held in Salmon Arm.

Making music and money Barb Brouwer Salmon Arm Observer

Canadian to the core and proud of lending a hand when needed, the Wildwood Benefit Concert Group scored another fundraising success. In the group’s fifth fundraising concert, held Sunday at Carlin Hall, $1,300 was raised for the mudslide/flood victims in Sunnybrae. Carlin Hall organizers donated the space for the concert and funds raised in the concession were also added to the fundraising total. Spokesperson Jake Jacobson says at Sunday’s benefit concert, the group of local musicians who are members of Wildwood, performed about 80 per cent of the recent “Coast-to-Coast-to Coast Thru Music” concert. Held at the Nexus at First United Church, that concert was a celebration of Canada, with songs from all the provinces and territories as well as First Nations storytelling an dancing. “The concept was to take people right across Canada in the first act and then take them back home, says Wildwood rep Jake Jacobson, noting the idea was to introduce people to the vast country through songs.

“After the concert, a new immigrant to Canada said ‘I understand Canada now,’ which is cool,” said an enthusiastic Jacobson. Jacobson describes Wildwood as a ‘loose group of friends,” about 30 musicians,

vocalists and techies that have come together over the past six years. “We love music, we love being of service to the community, so what better way than to combine what we love with helping out

in some way,” he said. “It’s rewarding to pull the show together.” Plans are already under way for next year’s concert to be held in May, with funds going to the Salmon Arm Women’s Shelter.

CRYPTO FUN

Don’t be afraid to take the next big step in your love life, Aquarius. Your partner may be feeling the same way. Communication is key in this situation.

Pisces, your emotions may have been all over the place the last few days, but you will be able to reel them in soon. Enjoy the respite.

ARIES

Aries, when your mischievous side comes out to play, others better watch out. You certainly can be a force … a very fun force. Just don’t let things get out of control.

TAURUS

Other people around you seem to be the epitome of positivity, but you just may not be able to muster the same level of giddiness, Taurus. That’s okay, as this is just a phase.

GEMINI

Things that have been on your mind come right out without a thought, Gemini. Your honesty is commendable, but you may need to self-censor some things.

CANCER

Cancer, a casual comment by a friend sets off a powder keg of ideas in your mind. This is the inspiration you have been waiting for, and now you can’t wait to get busy.

LEO

Leo, others can’t read your mind, so if something is bugging you, then let them know. Doing so will help you collectively develop a solution that much faster.

VIRGO

Virgo, keep your mind open to all the possibilities this week. You may be surprised at what you can accomplish if you maintain a willingness to try new things.

LIBRA

Libra, you don’t need any extra encouragement to go after what you want. You are quite motivated at the moment, putting a lot of possibilities within reach.

SCORPIO

If you want a particular relationship to thrive, then you have to work together with a partner, Scorpio. No one is out for herself or himself in this situation.

SAGITTARIUS

Your social life is about to heat up, Sagittarius. You might find your calendar going from empty to chock full in just a few days. Pace yourself to avoid burnout.

Guitar virtuoso plays live Barb Brouwer Salmon Arm Observer

Multi award-winning acoustic guitarist/singer/songwriter Don Alder will arrive on Acoustic Avenue Friday. The guitar virtuoso will perform songs from his album Armed and Dangerous and new songs which are not released on CD yet. Often referred to as the “Hendrix” of acoustic guitar, the gifted Vancouver artist continues to wow audiences around the world with his jaw-dropping, one-man band act. “His singing is soulful and heartfelt and his storytelling and guitar playing are highly entertaining,” says Ted Crouch creator and promoter of the Acoustic Avenue music series. Alder will perform from 7:30 to 9 p.m. Friday, June 9 at The Handmade Shoppe.

Don Alder, Vancouver’s multi award-winning acoustic guitarist, singer and songwriter, will perform at The Handmade Shoppe on Friday. This is the last concert in the series and the end of Acoustic Avenue for the foreseeable future. Crouch says the intimate space at The Handmade Shoppe has been perfect for the kind of musicians he promotes. But changes are coming that will benefit

the business located in Westgate Mall – The Ugly Mug Café will move from its current location into the much larger, adjoining space where kiosks will be available for rent. While he is pleased for the business owners, Crouch says he does not believe the avail-

able space will provide the intimate ambiance that artists and loyal fans have enjoyed. Crouch has advised artists scheduled for fall that Acoustic Avenue will close for now, but he hasn’t closed the door on future possibilities for the popular music series.

Making music at the Maples Barb Brouwer Salmon Arm Observer

Music at the Maples presents their first outdoor show at 7 p.m. on Sunday, June 11, with the acoustic trio of Ryan McAllister, Barnaby McRae and long-time band member Jeremy Friesen. McAllister’s music has charted on Billboard, received plenty of airtime in film and on TV. He’s performed thousands of concerts on five continents alongside artists ranging from Willie Nelson to Sam Roberts, and

his work as a producer/songwriter recently earned a Juno award. His acoustic performances blend well-crafted stories and songs with heartfelt vocals and a heavy dose of self-deprecating humour. North Country Gentlemen began in 2007 as a collaboration between cousins Barnaby McRae and Ryan McAllister, along with good friends Daniel Huscroft and J.J. Shiplett. Their music is a magical blend of grit, poetry, humour

Have your Say…

and nostalgia. “If you haven’t been to one of these house concerts, they are always a truly spectacular event,” says Susan Aylard of the family, who manages the Maples Waterfront Resort and Bed and Breakfast. “We’re combining our love of music with the job managing the resort.” Aylard is a professional musician who plays violin with the Okanagan Symphony Orchestra and fiddles with the band Cod Gone Wild.

Touring with Cod opened her eyes to the wonderful world of house concerts. A variety of tasty treats will be available to purchase, including Barb Loewen’s famous baking. “Barb is using her proceeds to help fund her ministry work in Teach Beyond,” says Aylard, noting this is not the only charity these events are sponsoring.

Relay ready to roll Barb Brouwer Salmon Arm Observer

The annual Relay For Life begins with a Survivor’s Walk at 11 a.m. Saturday, June 10. The local event is itself a survivor – the last remaining 12-hour relay in the Southern Interior. “There used to be 17 in the Southern Interior, but now there’s only two left,” said Jen Dies, event co-ordinator at the Salmon Arm branch of the Canadian Cancer Society. “This is our 15th annual and we are the last 12-hour event and Kamloops is the last six-hour event. Ours is still going because our community is so generous.” There are 17 teams from Salmon Arm, Blind Bay, Sicamous and surrounding areas participating in the local event, along with one team from Vernon, one from Kelowna and one from Clearwater. This year’s relay is back at the Salmon Arm Fairgrounds. The Survivors and Caregivers reception takes place at 10 a.m. as does registration. Opening ceremonies begin at 11, followed

A picnic lunch, entertainment and a draw take place at noon. A number of talented musicians have volunteered to keep walkers entertained and motivated – Patrick Ryley, Ryan Guilbeault, SAS Powow Dancers, Crown the Guilty, Chicken Like Birds, Blu and Kelly Hopkins, The Blind Bay Blues Band, Aimie Laws and Shoeswap Band. Dana Thiessen will lead zumba sessions and Fire on Wheels and a Save-On Foods barbecue will be on-site to keep walkers well-fed.

The moving luminary ceremony will take place from 9:30 to 10 p.m., giving participants an opportunity to remember someone who has succumbed to the disease, honour those who are in the fight of their lives, or who have survived. And there will be lots of surprises, Dies says. Funds raised through the annual Relay For Life help keep the local Canadian Cancer Society office running and support its breast prosthesis bank, wig room, daffodil campaign and more.

A beginner’s guide to still-water fishing SHUSWAP OUTDOORS Hank Shelley Muttering under my breath, I whispered to my fishin buddy Earl, “We just gotta do this, those guys are really catchin trout.” The sunshine sparkled through the fir trees dotting the hillside casting a shadow on the small bay of the lake where two anglers sat silently watching their strike indicators. Then raising a rod, the one angler hooked into another fine trout. “Ya-Ho!” Many times while trolling a wet fly on a fast-sinking fly line, I’ve trolled by a chap wearing dark sunglasses, anchored off a drop-off, on a weed bed chironomid fishing. And yes, success in catching fish definitely

does increase, because you are giving the trout the chironomod pupa/larva, they are searching out at the time they are feeding. Brian Chan, of the Fresh Water Fisheries Society and retired fish biologist, was the leader along with ardent angler Phil Rowley, both of Kamloops, in helping introduce anglers into the science of still-water fishing. This is using emerging water insects to attract trout. Articles written in BC Outdoors Fishing magazine, helped to refine the art. All that is required is a floating fly line, sinking leader and strike indicator. Anchor off a location where your fish

finder indicates trout below. Measure the depth. Coming up a foot and you’re in business. Well maybe… because there is a lot more to it. For first-time anglers a walk along the shoreline of the lake will tell you the bug life there – mayfly, dragon fly or leech. Talk to seasoned anglers, as to what imitations they are using. Chironomids vary in colour and size depending on species. Targeting trout cruising the shoreline can be spellbinding,as chironomids move to the surface, from the weed beds below. Ardent still-water anglers will use a tummy pump when catching their first tout to indicate what that fish was feeding on and will then “match the hatch” so-to-speak. Knowing the insect

life timing of the hatch and type of chironomid of each lake fished will give the angler a better understanding of timing to fish and what chironimids to use. Each insect hatch is timed by water temperature and weather conditions. Go on line for much more information on chironomid fishing, insects where to go for a early start for the season, biology, entomology of underwater bug life. It will also teach you patience, and a better understanding of nature, and what is around you that is so magnificent while out on the water. Fishing: With so much high water on the Big Shuswap Lake it’s difficult to have an indication on fishing, as water quality is poor due to the Salmon and Eagle rivers flows.

Canoe boat launch is full of floatsum and logs etc. Other lakes are also quit high or in flood stage. Camping: Again, it’s difficult to obtain a campsite in a provincial facility due to demand, even after another 992 spots were obtained. Too, on long weekends, many families head for the Merritt area and its many lakes to enjoy camping. It’s a bit usettling for local folks who used to enjoy a bit of peace and tranquility. It’s just part of what we’ve created within a shrinking environment and a burgeoning society. Tight lines to you and be safe on our highways and by ways!

Happy Father’s Day!

Celebrating Dad with the whole family Are you thinking of gathering the whole family together to celebrate this Father’s Day? There’s no better way to forge lasting memories than by spending time all together doing something Dad enjoys. Does your father love the open air? A picnic, a fishing trip, a hike in the woods or a kayaking excursion would certainly put a smile on everyone’s face! Why not test your family’s sense of adventure with a round of geocaching, a modern-day treasure hunt that’s fun for all ages? Better yet, why not go

all out with a weekend camping trip? If your father is more of the athletic type, a soccer game, bike ride, round of minigolf or treetop obstacle course are all great ways to spoil him with memorable family time. If he loves water, then an outing to the local pool or a visit to the nearest waterpark would certainly brighten his day! Perhaps you have a pool? If so, you can always organize a series of games the whole family can enjoy (get out the water guns!) and top the day off with a good old barbecue. Fun and

The possibility of increased citizen interest means the June 12 city council meeting is moving to the Prestige Harbourfront Resort. Council chambers remain closed after a leak on the second floor of city hall flooded the chamber and the mayor’s desk in mid-March, damaging electronics. City staff say at least two items are expected to draw interest to the 7 p.m. meeting – one is a rezoning of two large lots at 250 14th Avenue SE and 1460 Shuswap Street SE, just north of Foothill Road. They would be rezoned from R1, single family, and A2, rural holding zone, to R8, residential suite zone. The two parcels combine for a total of about 12 acres and are designated medium density residential in the city’s OCP. City staff report the proposal is to rezone the two large parcels to facilitate future subdivision and development. A drawing of the proposed subdivision includes 28 lots as well as a possible roundabout at Foothill Road, Shuswap Street South and 14th Avenue. “As the majority of the subject property is

CRYPTO FUN

Don’t be afraid to take the next big step in your love life, Aquarius. Your partner may be feeling the same way. Communication is key in this situation.

Pisces, your emotions may have been all over the place the last few days, but you will be able to reel them in soon. Enjoy the respite.

ARIES

Aries, when your mischievous side comes out to play, others better watch out. You certainly can be a force … a very fun force. Just don’t let things get out of control.

TAURUS

Other people around you seem to be the epitome of positivity, but you just may not be able to muster the same level of giddiness, Taurus. That’s okay, as this is just a phase.

GEMINI

Things that have been on your mind come right out without a thought, Gemini. Your honesty is commendable, but you may need to self-censor some things.

CANCER

Cancer, a casual comment by a friend sets off a powder keg of ideas in your mind. This is the inspiration you have been waiting for, and now you can’t wait to get busy.

LEO

Leo, others can’t read your mind, so if something is bugging you, then let them know. Doing so will help you collectively develop a solution that much faster.

VIRGO

Virgo, keep your mind open to all the possibilities this week. You may be surprised at what you can accomplish if you maintain a willingness to try new things.

LIBRA

Libra, you don’t need any extra encouragement to go after what you want. You are quite motivated at the moment, putting a lot of possibilities within reach.

SCORPIO

If you want a particular relationship to thrive, then you have to work together with a partner, Scorpio. No one is out for herself or himself in this situation.

SAGITTARIUS

Your social life is about to heat up, Sagittarius. You might find your calendar going from empty to chock full in just a few days. Pace yourself to avoid burnout.

Theatre, music, dance at SAS SAS RepoRT Jasmine Lam The month of May started off with a bang as the Sullivan acting class put on their yearly production. This year they chose Big Rock at Candy’s Mountain, a play about a small town girl who helps realize a boy who’s struggling in his father’s shadow realize his dream of making it on his own. Cherish Dufresne played the lead extremely well, carrying

the audience through the emotional highs and lows of the play. Jack Scheck played Adam with perfect comedic timing, leaving the audience in stitches. Later on in the month, the community and Salmon Arm Secondary grads rallied at GM to raise over $4,000 to go towards graduation. Near the end of the month, the musi-

cal theatre class put on the production Annie with precise execution. The play received great feedback through sold out nights and standing ovations. The talented class perfectly recreated the classic musical numbers such as “The Hard Knock Life” and “Tomorrow.” The lead, Ali Balloun, won over the hearts of many as the orphan Annie by singing her heart out through every number. Sidney Pullin played the infamous Mrs. Hannigan perfectly, cynicism and all.

Lastly, the month ended with the famous Big Band Dance, a dance where bands from throughout the district play jazz throughout the night. Many soloists, vocalists, and budding musicians performed at the dance. The crowd was even treated to a dance number performed by the Just for Kicks dancers to the tune “Mary Ann”, a rocking samba. The Teacher’s Band played last, electrifying the crowd and prompting an encore. As the we look forward to summer, the graduating class, in

conjunction with the leadership class, will be putting on a car wash and barbecue for the community. This will be happening June 17 at Lakeshore Car Wash.

New faces join Silverbacks

Salmon Arm player joins next season’s roster. Jim Elliot Salmon Arm Observer

From behind the bench to the goaltender’s crease, the Salmon Arm Silverbacks organization has seen a number of personnel changes over the past week. The team announced Scott Atkinson of Calgary will replace outgoing head coach Misko Antisin heading into the 2017/2018 season. “We are very excited for Scott to lead this veteran group in our quest for a national championship this season” said Silverbacks general manager Troy Mick. The Silverbacks added some local talent to the team by trading for Salmon Arm native Logan Mostat. The team acquired Mostat from the West Kelowna Warriors by trading Matt Kowalski. Mostat will add to

the ’Backs offensive firepower as a forward; he tallied up 18 goals and 24 assists in 60 games last season playing for the Surrey Eagles as well as West Kelowna. “I am very excited to be a part of the Silverbacks organization and to play in front of friends and family in my hometown this season. I can’t wait to get the year going – it’s going to be a great one,” Mostat said. The Silverbacks also acquired goaltender Bo Didur by trading defenceman Carter Stephenson to the Langley Rivermen. Didur has played the last three seasons for Langley and averaged a .897 save percentage in 136 games. The ’Backs also traded forward Trevor Ayre to the Weyburn Red Wings of the Saskatchewan Junior Hockey League.

Accused in Pritchard assault await appeal Tim Petruk Kamloops This Week

Two men who avoided jail earlier this year after attacking a Kamloops police officer during a traffic stop and leaving him unconscious on a rural road will find out next month whether their sentences will be overturned. Jerry Lamar and Leon Leclerc were described by a B.C. Supreme Court judge as “cowardly bullies flexing their muscles as back-alley thugs,”

but Justice Dev Dley refused to send the men to prison. He instead placed them on lengthy and strict house-arrest terms — sentences that were subsequently appealed by prosecutors. Lamar and Leclerc had been charged with aggravated assault in connection to the 2014 beating of RCMP Const. Paul Koester. They pleaded guilty to reduced charges of assaulting a peace officer and were sentenced in January.

A vehicle being driven by Lamar, 52, was stopped by Koester near Pritchard on July 5, 2014. Leclerc, 47, was a passenger in Lamar’s truck. Court heard Koester suspected Lamar had been drinking and informed him he was launching an impaired driving investigation. The altercation was captured on video and audio by the dash camera in Koester’s police cruiser. In the footage, which was played in court, Lamar could be seen

becoming increasingly aggressive toward Koester. The video also showed Leclerc menacing the constable from a distance. At one point, Koester told Leclerc to stay back. Lamar eventually tried to leave, at which point Koester deployed pepper spray. The two men began fighting on the ground and Leclerc said he jumped in after seeing what he thought was Koester reaching for his sidearm. Leclerc stomped

Skate park a finalist for funding The volunteers of the Chase & District Skate Park Society are excited to announce the proposed community skate park project is among the top 10 finalists in the BCAA Play Here contest. Up for grabs in the contest are three grand prizes of up to $100,000, that would bring the skate park project into reality. “Bringing home $100,000 would be a dream come true and help us finally complete this decade long

project,” said Chase & District Skate Park Society president Kelsey Snelgrove, who submitted the nomination for the Chase Skate Park. “A skate park in Chase will provide a much needed positive space for youth from Chase and surrounding communities such as Neskonlith and Adams Lake.” Although the idea for a community multi-use skate park first began over a decade ago, the support and spirit continues to grow. With

the park location approved by the Village of Chase, and plans revised for affordability, the funding will be used to complete construction. The campaign to earn votes and get the word out began May 22, and goes until June 18. The winners will be announced June 23. Voting is done online at www.bcaaplayhere. com. People can vote once a day using Facebook, Twitter, Google and email. Each plat-

form can be used once a day for a total of four votes. “This is where you come in,” said Snelgrove. “We’d love your help to rally voters (on air, in the papers, on social media, etc) to help Chase finally build a skate park that promotes community gathering and a safe place to play for the youth (and adults alike) in our community!” For more information, contact Snelgrove at 250-679-8880.

on Koester’s head, causing the officer to immediately lose consciousness. In the video, Koester began snoring immediately and Lamar and Leclerc drove off. About 20 seconds later, Koester began moaning and calling for help. A passerby

stopped and tended to the injured Mountie. Koester appeared to be concerned about his eye. “Can you see my eye?” he asked the passerby. “Is it out or in?” The video was played last week in the B.C. Court of

Appeal in Vancouver for a three-judge panel tasked with deciding whether Dley’s sentence is fit. Prosecutors appealed the sentence, contending it was too lenient. A decision from B.C.’s highest court is expected in the first two weeks of June.

Job Solutions that Work Frank Marchand works on a cottonwood canoe at Quaaout Lodge.

Tradition continues at Quaaout File photo

Dale Bass Kamloops This Week

Frank Marchand is pretty sure his hands are never going to forgive him. The member of the Okanagan Indian Band, along with Tanner Francois of the Little Shuswap Indian Band, spends hours every weekday at Quaaout Lodge creating two cottonwood canoes. One is taking shape courtesy of modern, electrical tools while the other gets its much more rough look from the use of traditional stone tools. The project is part of the lodge’s

planned anniversary celebrations. The hotel is marking a quarter-century while the adjacent Talking Rock Golf Course hits a decade. Plans are to dip those canoes into Little Shuswap Lake on June 21 — Aboriginal Day in Canada — to kick off a summer of events. Local elders helped pick the tree that has now become canoes 25 and 14 feet in length (the longest is the one benefitting from electrical power). “I was kind of hoping they’d pick a bigger tree,” Marchand said.

“This one has lots of knots in it.” It makes it a more of a challenge for the traditional canoe. The contemporary canoe will be sealed with a fibreglass resin while the traditional will be treated with cooked linseed oil. Marchand learned the craft from his father. Gordon Marchand created many hand-carved canoes and paddles that can be found throughout the B.C. Interior. He taught his son there is a right way to carve a canoe and there is a wrong way. “When my dad made

them, he would fill them with water and then put hot stones in and cover it with a canvas. This was to stretch it a half-centimetre at a time,” Marchand said. In his younger years and not inclined to follow that painstaking process to widen a canoe, Marchand put in more rocks than he should have and cracked the canoe in half. “I don’t think my dad talked to me for a year,” he said. Cottonwood was chosen for many reasons. It grows tall and is plentiful in the Interior. “And there’s no

Ranch to host bison festival The upcoming Turtle Valley Bison Ranch festival offers a unique educational and gastronomic experience. The festival is a first for the Turtle Valley Bison Company, which hosts the event on Saturday, June 24. The event runs all afternoon and evening, and the public is invited to come explore the ranch during the day, to learn more about these remarkable animals and soak in the ranch experience. The evening portion of the festival will feature three guest chefs from Vancouver, as well as local chef Jack Summers, who will prepare a multi-course meal, with local breweries and wineries providing

drink. Live music and entertainment rounds out the event. Day admission (11 a.m. to 4 p.m.) is $20 person (children 12 and under free). The evening festival is $59 per person (evening

tickets to be purchased with daytime tickets), and includes the bison dinner and entertainment. The ranch is located in Turtle Valley, just six kilometres east of the Trans-Canada High-

way at Squilax. To learn more, visit www.turtlevalleybison.ca, or call 1-780231-5007. Tickets can be booked at www. eventbrite.ca/e/turtlevalley-bison-ranch-festtickets-34871968998.

Fresh from the garden HealtHy bites Serena Caner It started with a beefsteak tomato the size of a shot-put ball. Meaty and juicy, it was like no tomato I had ever eaten before. Served on a piece of toasted bread with a sprinkling of salt and fresh basil, there was no turning back to its distant, store-bought relative. At the time, I was a student, and had landed a part-time job working on Glen Valley Organic Farm co-op. The farmer, a man named John, was very gracious to take me on because I had never grown a plant in my life. He loved teaching and still paid me and sent me home with “seconds” every week, despite my below-av-

erage productivity. For the first time in my life, I felt very connected to my food and my environment. From a dietitian perspective, fresh food requires little preparation and provides the most flavour and health benefit. A carrot pulled out of th e ground does not need to be braised in butter. A new potato does not need to be deep-fried and covered in ketchup. Salt, sugar and artificial flavours are added to today’s food system to compensate for the fact that food is picked unripe, and shipped great distances before we eat it. We expect to eat fruits and vegetables in all seasons; how-

ever, they are only in season certain times of the year. Luckily, summer is the best time to make fresh fruits and vegetables part of our daily diet. Furthermore, living in the Shuswap, you can eat fresh food without ever having to get any dirt under your fingernails. Fresh, local foods are available at many of our grocery stores and farm markets, including: DeMilles: Thursday is Family Day, 10 per cent off groceries if you bring your kids. Shuswap Farmers Market now located outside “Its Handmade” store at the old Canadian Tire, 2090-10 Ave SW. Market runs Tuesdays and Fridays, 8 a.m. to 12:30 p.m., and Saturdays 9:30-2 p.m. All-Organic Market: Wednesdays 3-5 p.m. outside Askews Uptown. Interested in learning

about growing food? Shuswap Food Action has a new Community Garden/Learning Farm at the top of North Broadview just before 60th Ave NE. Drop-in 10 a.m. to noon Fridays to sample foods, weed or just check it out.

INFORMATION DESIGNED TO PROMOTE AND ENHANCE YOUR WELLBEING

Big Business vs Organic Farms FAMILY CHIROPRACTIC Dr. Warren Gage Big Business vs Organic Farms A newsletter I recently received from an organic food group contained some alarming news about an organic farm in Oregon USA. When one reads about the problems this farm is encountering, it would suggest there are bigger forces behind this issue. I am suspicious that there is some outside influence being applied to once again attack organic farming practices in favour of

big agriculture’s financial interests. To summarize the issues, Azure Farms is a 2000 acre organic farm that has been successfully operating as certified organic for 18 years. Sherman County officials in the area have demanded the owners “eradicate” noxious weeds that are on their farm. The weeds in question are Canada Thistle, Morning Glory, and Whitetop. Where the issue

arises is the county officials interpretation of the the legal terminology when it comes to managing invasive plant species. The county code states noxious weeds must be “controlled” on farms; however, they are interpreting this code as farmers must do everything possible to “eradicate” them. In this instance, they are stating that the organic farm must pay to have their property sprayed with the toxic herbicide Roundup. Not only is this herbicide known to be carcinogenic, it will destroy their organic business overnight. Further to this, even if they

spray the entire farm there is no way to fully “eradicate” all of the weeds. It should be noted that for the past 18 years Azure farms has been managing all such weeds on the farm using organic farming practices and weed control measures. This is another example of how dangerous a misinterpretation of a simple law can truly be. These county officials are demanding the farmers douse their farm in Roundup. In an attempt to “eradicate” these weeds that have been adequately managed for 18 years, they will be poisoning an organic farm that is just under the size

of Greater Vancouver. While they may turn this vast fertile area into a dusty landscape for the sake of trying to rid it of some weeds, what expense will this cost? And when the seeds from previous weeds survive and germinate next year, there will be no competing crops to limit their spread. It is stories like this that sometimes make me wonder if common sense has truly become a super-power.

Five things to think about before buying sunglasses

One of the best ways to keep your eyes healthy is by protecting them for the damaging rays of the sun. Sunglasses act as more than a fashion accessory, they are acting as sunscreen to your eyes! Ultraviolet (UV) rays from the sun can lead to skin cancer around the eyes, can accelerate the formation of a cataract and has been shown to be linked to macular degeneration. These are just of the few important reasons to protect your eyes this summer. Whether you are investing in a pair of shades, picking up a quick pair for your

beach vacation or buying sunglasses for your kids, here are 5 simple things to consider. UV Protection: Unfortunately not all sunglasses protect our eyes from ultraviolet rays. When buying sunglasses from a retail store ALWAYS make sure th ey are blocking 99-100% of the damaging UV rays. Ensure you are buying sunglasses that are marked clearly with “UV protection” or are buying them somewhere where you can ask a sales associate about the amount of UV protection. Polarization: A Polaroid blocks light travel-

ing horizontally. Most glare that we encounter travels horizontally as it bounces off one surface then heads for our eyes. Sunglasses that are polarized will block this glare and therefore enhances visual performance. This is particularly useful on the water, in the snow or while driving on wet roads. Back Surface Antiglare: Is an antiglare coating put on the inside surface of the sunglass lenses. This coating will minimize glare and increase our vision but most importantly, it also reduces the reflected sunlight from entering our eyes. This

will further reduce the amount of UV that enters our eyes. Colour of the lenses: A dark lens does not do a better job at UV protection! Dark gray lenses are great for people who are very light sensitive, as it blocks the most amount of light from our eyes. Gray lenses will block all wavelengths (colours) equally; this does not alter your colour perception. A brown, yellow, pink or other colour of lens will block some colours more than others. This will alter colour perception which can also enhance contrast.

This is great for outdoor sports! The Fit: The glasses should fit along the bridge of the nose properly and hug your ears nicely. Having good face wrap will also help decrease light leakage from the side and above the glasses. This help block out more sun rays. Sunglasses should look great and feel great, but most importantly they should protect our eyes from ultraviolet light and enhance our vision. Put your shades on and go enjoy our Shuswap sun!

JUANITA JEANNE HALL (nee Robinson) â&#x20AC;&#x153;Heaven gained the strongest angel today. You will always be thought of and loved to pieces, Nana.â&#x20AC;? - A quote by one of her granddaughters Juanita Jeanne Hall, nee Robinson, born September 28, 1932 passed away peacefully on Sunday May 28 surrounded by family. Jeanne was born and raised in Port Alberni, BC the third of six children. Jeanne met Bob, her husband of 51 years, through mutual friends. Bob was dating Jeanneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s best friend but it wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t long before he realized he was dating the wrong girl! Their first date was the Cinderella movie, that Bob couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t afford the tickets to, so they met inside the theatre! Bob and Jeanne enjoyed doing all the things young people did in those days, movies, playing cards, going downtown and window shopping at night, family picnics to Parksville and swimming in Sproat Lake. They quickly realized they were to spend the rest of their lives together and Bob proposed to Jeanne on Christmas Eve of 1951. They married in Port Alberni on March 1, 1952 and one of Bobâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s most vivid memories was of Jeanne walking down the aisle. Their first home together was in a furnished apartment - a converted garage. Bob and Jeanne moved around the Lower Mainland before finding the perfect little family home in Kelowna on November 4, 1952. In 1959, their family started to expand incrementally with Jimmy, Steven and Michael each arriving two years apart. Bob and Jeanneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s marriage was progressive for itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s time â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Jeanne looked after the kids through the day and Bob took the night shift, no matter what! (Nana always liked her sleep!) Bob and Jeanne were always up for adventure and they decided to move their young family to Salmon Arm in 1964 when they started the local radio station CKXR. Jeanne loved spending her summers at the family cabin on Shuswap Lake that they purchased in 1968. When Jeanneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s boys were still school age, she would be waiting on the last day of school to pick them up and immediately move to the lake until the first day of school in September. Jeanne continued this tradition of spending her summer months at the cabin, enjoying her afternoon tea in the swing gazing out across the lake. In 1970, Bob and Jeanne had the option to move back to Kelowna, but Jeanne said â&#x20AC;&#x153;no wayâ&#x20AC;?. She dearly loved Salmon Arm, the friends they had made, and the life they had built together. In 1974, Bob and Jeanne acquired the remaining shares of CKXR and became sole owners. They were a true partnership in many business ventures and, most importantly, in 51 years of marriage. Jeanne was never one for sitting still. Even with a young family and several businesses, she found the time to give back to the community she so sincerely loved. She joined the Shuswap Lake Hospital Ladies Auxiliary in 1965 and worked on many fundraising projects to benefit the hospital as well as working in the hospital gift shop once a week. She was dedicated to the Auxiliary and finished her last shift in the gift shop Thursday May 25 at 4:00pm and was admitted to the hospital half an hour later. Jeanne was a very social person and enjoyed the company and friendship of the Tuesday Trekkers, with the obvious highlight being coffee and dessert after their weekly walks. Jeanneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s other passions in life included pottery, sewing and cross stitching. Jeanne was the longest standing member of the Salmon Arm Pottery Club and was very supportive of new members, always willing to take the time to mentor them in their new hobby. Many lucky people had the privilege of purchasing Jeanneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s lovely creations at the local pottery sales. Her sewing abilities were utterly amazing. Jeanne was given her first sewing machine in 1966, it was handcranked, portable, and manufactured in the 1800â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s in England. Her precision and attention to detail with her stitches was awe inspiring. Her grandchildren were the recipients of countless outfits with the special designer â&#x20AC;&#x153;Love Nanaâ&#x20AC;? label. Jeanneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s cross stitch was often entered into the Salmon Arm Fall Fair for which she was awarded many ribbons. Many people were fortunate enough over the years to try her famous award winning (repeat times at the fall fair) chocolate cake. Nanaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s chocolate birthday cakes were coveted by the family as she always put a quarter in each slice; however, when loonies came into circulation the family experienced a windfall! Jeanne was an adventurous soul, travelling the world for many years with Bob. After Bobâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s passing she continued her adventures with her family, sisters, and her sister-in-law Helen Hall. She enjoyed experiencing many new places and cultures, but Maui always called her back. All of her adventures were very meticulously documented in a vast library of photo albums. Jeanne enjoyed living independently in the dream home she designed in 1979, especially raking up wind storm debris and asking for one of her sons to come over and empty her wheelbarrow. Early Sunday May 28, the northern lights were in full view over Salmon Arm. It is at this time that Jeanne continued onto her next adventure. Jeanne leaves behind three sons, Jim (Jaz), Steven (Judy) and Michael (Alison) and six grandchildren, Jonathon, Daniel, Brittany, Nicole, Joshua and Mackenzie who all love and miss her dearly. She was predeceased by her husband, Bob (Robert James) in 2003. A Celebration of life service and reception will be held from the Gathering Place, 350 30th street NE, Salmon Arm, on Saturday morning, June 17th at 11 a.m. with Capreece Bowers the Funeral Celebrant. In honour of Jeanneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 52 years being a dedicated member of the Shuswap Lake Hospital Auxiliary, the family request in lieu of flowers, donations be made to the Shuswap Hospital Foundation, the Jeanne Hall memorial fund, PO Box 265, Salmon Arm V1E 4N3. These funds will be directed towards the purchase of an item for the ICU at Shuswap Lake General Hospital. On line email condolences may be sent to Jeanneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s obituary at www. bowersfuneralservice.com Funeral arrangements are in the care of Bowers Funeral Home, Salmon Arm.

Middle East’s 50-Year War remains in play Gwynne Dyer As Israeli columnist Gideon Levy wrote recently in the daily Haaretz: “In retrospect, it should be called the Fifty-Year War, not the Six-Day War. And judging by the political situation, its life expectancy appears endless.” This week (5-10 June) is the 50th anniversary of the brief war in 1967 that added the Old City of Jerusalem, the West Bank, the Golan Heights and the Gaza Strip to the Israeli state, increasing the area ruled by Israel by onethird and the population under its control by more than a third. But the problem was and remains that all that new population was Arabs. Palestin-

ians, to be precise. No Israeli Jew actually wanted all those extra Arabs, but it turned out that quite a few of them did want the extra land. They hadn’t thought about it much before 1967, because ever since the Independence War in 1948 Israelis had seen themselves as a small, beleaguered people at constant risk of being “driven into the sea” by the Arabs. But now they knew that they were strong enough to keep the land if they wanted to. The Arab armies were poorly trained and badly led, and they served governments so incompetent that, despite an overall

saw their future state disappearing before their eyes, and the Fifty-Year War began. It has mostly been a fairly low-key event, with only dozens or hundreds killed each year, but it is unrivalled in its ability to stymie all attempts at a peaceful settlement. Only three months after the 1967 war ended Amos Oz, later to become one of Israel’s most celebrated writers, wrote: “We are condemned now to rule people who do not want to be ruled by us. I have fears about the kind of seeds we will sow in the near future in the hearts of the occupied. Even more, I have fears about the seed that will be planted in the hearts of the occupiers.” How right he was. The newspaper he wrote that in, Davar,

toric Israel; it had been Egytian for five thousand years. It was also mostly empty desert, and within twelve years Israel had given it all back to Egypt in return for a peace treaty. There were many in Israel – they were even the majority at various points between 1975 and 1995 – who wanted to make peace with the country’s other Arab neighbours by giving them back the rest of the conquered territories. But most of those lands had been part of historic Israel, and returning them to Arab control would bring back the dangerously close old borders as well. So Jews started settling throughout the conquered lands with tacit and later open government support, to the utter dismay of the Palestinians who

died long ago. The Labour Party it supported, which dominated Israeli politics for the first three decades after independence, is now a mere shadow of its former self. Instead, the political high ground is held by ultra-nationalist, hard-right parties that are in thrall to the half-million-strong Jewish “settler” population in the occupied Palestinian territories. Most Israelis want to keep these lands, including some extremists who would kill or die to keep them. No Israelis want to include the Palestinians in these territories into Israel as citizens. If they ever did, half the voters in the next election would be Arabs, and Israel would no longer be a “Jewish state”. But they can’t get rid of those Palestinians either without com-

mitting a horrendous crime. So they are stuck, and Israeli politics has been paralysed for the past twenty years. The man who has led Israel for more than half that time, Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu, epitomises that paralysis. He says he wants peace, and no doubt he really does – but he also wants to keep the land, or at least most of it, and his coalition government would collapse if he ever seriously considered giving it back. The great majority of Jewish Israelis, living in “old” Israel within the pre-1967 borders, rarely focus on this question, but they would be just as divided and paralysed if they ever had to answer it. This is not the end of the Fifty-Year War. It may just be the mid-point in the Hundred-Year War.

GLOBAL VIEWS

ten-to-one Arab superiority in population, Israeli troops actually outnumbered Arab soldiers on the battlefield in 1967 (and in every subsequent war). Israel emerged from the Six-Day War as the dwarf superpower of the Middle East, unbeatable by any combination of Arab states. And the Arabs knew it. That was an intoxicating notion for Israelis, and the new territories actually added to their security by giving them some “strategic depth”. Moreover, the West Bank had been part of historic Israel 2,000 years ago, and many Israelis saw it as land sacred to the Jews. Israel also conquered the entire Sinai peninsula, twice the size of all the other Israeli-ruled areas old and new, but the Sinai had never been part of his-
