Stomp moves ahead with plans Motorcycle rally: CSRD sets conditions for event, organizers still have to work out logistics.

By Barb Brouwer OBSERVER STAFF

They’re staying mum – verbally at least. After refusing to discuss plans for this year’s Summer Stomp on Friday, organizers posted the start of ticket sales for the event on their website Tuesday.

“The Summer Stomp is back!

The location is set, planning is well under way, and posters are just about ready to go to press,” reads the site.

Organizers won conditional approval from Columbia Shuswap Regional District directors at

last week’s board meeting in Sicamous.

They showed no emotion following the meeting and made clear Friday they had no interest in speaking to the media.

“We had a meeting of the organization last night and passed a resolution. We’re gonna be silent,” said Summer Stomp representative Steve Hammer, the day after CSRD directors agreed to dispense with permitted use regulations – but not without some conditions.

Despite not being on the agenda, directors gave Hammer the oppor-

tunity to address the board following an update from Dan Passmore, CSRD development services assistant.

Included in Passmore’s update from the April board meeting, when directors told Stomp organizers they needed to see more detailed plans, was a letter from Vernon/North Okanagan Detachment’s RCMP Sgt. David Evans.

In his May 10 letter, Evans listed seven concerns regarding the Stomp proposed for July 19 to July 22 at 1908 and 1926 Salmon River Road.

This week Shon Wilson’s family makes a desperate plea for a donor kidney. See details on page A3.

There was a lot of air time over the weekend at the city’s skateboard park. See A16.

These included a lack of infrastructure, public safety, remoteness, difficulty in maintaining security at the event, access and the “bring-your-own” liquor policy proposed by Stomp organizers.

Also chief among Evans’ concerns is that two other events are being held in the Vernon/North Okanagan Detachment area on the same weekend – Sturgis North and Armstrong Metalfest.

With Sturgis closing at midnight and the Stomp historically running to 2 or 4 a.m., Evans surmises an influx of Sturgis North patrons ar-

riving at the Stomp could be beyond the capacity of the site and organizers.

“The proposed site is on private property and I am still awaiting a legal opinion to determine if we would have the power to enter onto the site in a proactive and preventive fashion without a specific call for our services,” Evans wrote in his May 10 letter to the board.

Passmore told directors that Interior Health also expressed concerns regarding source of water, See Midnight on page A2

Midnight music shut down Continued from front food safety, sewage disposal, solid waste disposal, sanitation, personal services, communicable disease, emergency plan, camping, site safety, fire control and health promotion.

“It’s important to know IH leaves most of these issues to Stomp organizers, but food vendors and sanitary facilities need to be inspected by Public Health,” he said.

He noted the main entrance to the Stomp appears to cross a property not involved with the event, owned by a neighbour who has not given consent for his property to be used as access.

Passmore indicated he had received 98 form letters supporting the event and a few opposing the Stomp.

“Organizers will need to resolve this prior to June 1 as staff have given the group until then to return signed-off plans and approvals,” said Passmore, who recommended suspending bylaw enforcement on the two properties, which are located within the Agricultural Land Reserve. “It’s important for the organizing committee to receive support of the board in order to proceed with planning.”

In an unusual move, acting board chair Dave Raven invited Hammer, who sat in the gallery with three other Stomp organizers, to speak directly to directors.

“First, I really want to stress it’s charitable not commercial,” Hammer said, noting even organizers pay to enter the event and that the only ones who get in free are entertainers. “It brings social and economic benefits to the area but also charitable benefits.”

Hammer told directors the neighbour had offered to support the event if he received $10,000 for access across a portion of his driveway, something he said organizers refused to consider because

it would reduce the amount of money available to charities.

“As far as the RCMP goes, it’s a 22-year event and in that time we have had three ambulance calls for fairly minor injuries,” he said, noting that as in every other Stomp, organizers would be working closely with the Silver Creek Fire Department.

“We have never not allowed people not to bring liquor onto their own campsites…”

Hammer advised organizers are well equipped to deal with any and all issues.

“If the RCMP had their way, there would be no tourists in the area, no people on the lake,” he said. “They like to have nothing going on because that’s the easiest way to serve and protect.”

Hammer assured directors the RCMP would be invited onto

“We live here and we’re not idiots about fire,” responded Hammer, indicating the fire is well-tended with a tanker on site and keeps people in one spot.

Salmon Arm rep Debbie Cannon pointed out that while Sturgis North left a bad taste and a $300,000 debt last year, the Stomp has handed out more than $100,000 in its 22-year run.

“They know a little bit of what they’re doing out there and I think we should be supporting this,” she said. “Everyone worries about bikers being drunk but that’s not really what happens. And it’s an easy fix – set up road blocks.”

Talbot agreed he is not against the Stomp.

“I have been to it and think they do a very good job, but these are concerns brought to me by people who live

Morgan put forward a motion that the music be shut down by midnight and all the directors, except for Parker who remained opposed, voted for a midnight music shut-down.

They also agreed to dispense with enforcement of the permitted use bylaw if the organizers and property owners enter into an agreement to address the issues of health and safety, riparian area regulations, noise and nuisance, and waste disposal.

Steve Hammer SUMMER STOMP the site and noted that while Salmon Arm Staff Sgt. Kevin Keane does not openly support the Stomp, “he has had no problems with the event in the past.”

Following Hammer’s presentation, directors chewed over the issues.

Up first, Area D Falkland-Silver CreekRanchero director René Talbot listed some of the same concerns as those expressed in Evans’ letter and said he has received numerous emails and letters of protest.

“The two main concerns are the bonfire and the music continuing until 4 a.m.,” he said, pointing out the stretch of road between Highway 97A and the site is the worst of Salmon River Road and that his area has already had several grass fires.

there,” he said. “I cannot ignore what people in the area say – even though it’s not a lot of them.”

But Area A Rural Revelstoke director Loni Parker was not in favour, agreeing with RCMP and other agency concerns.

“First thing, if it was in my neighbourhood it’s nothing I would be supportive of,” she said.

“Maybe you have something else on the site beyond bikers drinking…

I was hoping to see more information come forward to make it seem possible to move ahead, but I can’t support it this year.”

“If it happened in my neighbourhood I’d be livid,” added Electoral Area F director Larry Morgan. “I think it should be shut down at midnight.”

Local family in frantic search for donor kidney

By Barb Brouwer OBSERVER STAFF

A mother is making a plea for her son’s life.

Five years ago, Linda Rollier gave her then 19-year-old son Shon Wilson the life-saving gift of one of her kidneys.

And while he had four years of working and enjoying life in Fort Nelson, Wilson’s body has now rejected the kidney and he is no longer responding well to dialysis.

“He is so weak he can’t even write his own name,” says Rollier of her son, who is father to a three-year-old daughter. “Something is going on with his hands, he’s freezing all the time and very, very tired.”

His only hope for survival is another kidney.

Unfortunately, family members who would be willing to part with one of their own are unable to do so.

Because Wilson’s body has rejected his mom’s kidney, nobody else on her side of the family can donate. And everybody on his dad’s side has the wrong blood type.

Wilson’s blood type is B, so Rollier says he would be able to accept

a kidney from a healthy person with either Type B or Type O blood.

Within two weeks of the November 2006 transplant, both Rollier and Wilson were amazed at how well they felt.

But in the last year, Wilson started feeling sick again. His body began creating antibodies against Rollier’s blood proteins so the kidney was rejected.

He had to quit work as a heavy equipment operator and move back to Salmon Arm early last fall, when he begun trips to and from Kamloops three to five times a week for dialysis.

In January, Wilson began in-home dialysis that requires a 45-minute process of fluid exchange four times a day.

His kidneys are in 100 per cent shutdown, says Rollier, who points out that nearly 80 per cent of the more than 4,300 Canadians on the organ transplant list are waiting for a kidney.

The Kidney Foundation of Canada reports that in 2010, one-third of Canadians who died while waiting for an organ transplant were waiting for a kidney. In 2010, 82 people died

Otters messy but tolerated

By Martha Wickett OBSERVER STAFF

Part of a rumour that some of our readers have been hearing is true.

Otters are, indeed, pooping on the docks at the Salmon Arm Wharf. However, the second part of the rumour – that the city has approved trapping said otters, appears to have no basis in fact.

Writes Elaine Cawson Bushman: “It has been going around on the grapevine that Salmon Arm has approved trapping and destroying the otters that live down by the wharf. The reason I understand that they are

LACHLAN LABERE/OBSERVER

Visitor: Some love to see the otters at the wharf, but others see

them as a clean-up waiting to happen. doing this is to ensure that the otters are gone before the houseboats are docked at the wharf as they poop on the houseboats.”

Robert Niewenhuizen, the city’s director of engineering and public works, said he has heard otter rumours

as well, but the city has no plans to trap or destroy them.

“No action is being taken on the otters,” he said Tuesday.

At Twin Anchors Houseboats, Don Tonks said houseboat staff deal with feces from otters and birds

regularly.

“We are well aware of the situation and we are in the almost daily position of washing off the docks.”

He said he has not discussed the situation with the owner of Twin Anchors, but he expects to do so shortly.

Fields temporarily shut down

By Martha Wickett OBSERVER STAFF

The near future will be filled with field juggling, as the SASCU Sports Fields at Little Mountain will be closed from Monday, May 28 until Friday, June 8.

The fields are being closed so they can be aerated, top-dressed and overseeded in order to reestablish the turf cover, says Brad Ackerman, the city’s supervisor of parks.

“That will be adequate time to get the seed germinated and on its way to being established,” he said, noting the parks department wants to minimize the inconvenience of a closure at the same time as making sure the fields regenerate.

(The fields at Little Mountain were closed yesterday, Tuesday the

22nd, because of excessive water on the fields.)

Along with shuffling all the games slated for Little Mountain when the fields are closed come May 28, a junior girls high school tournament scheduled for this coming weekend had to be moved to Kamloops because of the condition of the fields.

No games will be cancelled because of the closure, Ackerman said.

“The school district has been great in working together with us in finding alternate locations for user groups during the closure period. It speaks to the relationship between the school district and the city.”

The status of all the fields is available by going to the city’s website, www.salmo-

narm.ca, then the ‘residents’ tab, then ‘parks and recreation,’ then ‘field status’ and scroll down.

He said the city looked at closing fields at Little Mountain at the start of the season, but the temperatures were cold then so it “wasn’t condusive to establishing turf coverage.”

Ackerman said it’s imperative they be shut down.

“If we don’t close the fields and get grass re-established, we will have poor conditions all year long and possibly into next year.”

He said Little Mountain is overly popular because it has three fields at one location.

“That’s what makes Little Mountain shine and, at the same time, that’s its worst enemy.

Everyone wants to go there.”

In a previous interview, Ackerman said parks and recreation will be changing how fields are booked. He explained that in 2011, fields at Little Mountain underwent nearly double the 450 hours recommended for a field during a 12-month period.

Field #1 saw 760 hours, Field #2 800 hours and Field #3, just over 700 hours. Meanwhile the Jackson campus field sustained just 275 hours of use, while Blackburn #1 and #2 each saw less than 400.

“Historically, user groups can book a field location wherever they want. We’re trying to change to having them request a time and we’ll find the location.

We won’t turn down a request, but it might not be the location they want.”

Salmon Arm man ordered to stand trial in Supreme Court on child porn charges

By Tracy Hughes OBSERVER STAFF

A Salmon Arm man facing charges of possession and the distribution of child pornography has had his case set over to BC Supreme Court.

Bruce Darcy Abar, 51, was

taken into custody on April 26, 2011 after a tip-off from the RCMP’s Child Exploitation Unit.

Officers seized several computers and discs from a residence located in the southeast quadrant of the city.

Two adults, a man and a woman, were taken into custody at the time and several computers and discs were seized.

The woman was not charged.

Abar will appear in court May 30 to fix a date for trial. He is currently out on bail.

Police pull over graffiti artists The RCMP in Salmon Arm were kept busy over the Victoria Day weekend, responding to 81 calls for service.

The nature of the calls ranged from traffic matters, to intoxicated persons, and drug crime.

At 4 a.m., on May 18, an officer stopped a vehicle on the TransCanada Highway. Investigation revealed that the occupants were in possession of several cans of spray paint and were responsible for graffiti done earlier that

night. Investigation is continuing.

On May 19, police recovered a stolen vehicle from a forestry road in the Deep Creek area. The vehicle has been burnt. This vehicle had been stolen from the Enderby area.

GUEST SHOT

Christopher Foulds

Easier than bank robbery Earlier this year, I penned a column in which I noted getting elected as an MP or appointed as a senator is generally akin to winning a lottery.

The salary for an MP is outstanding ($158,000) and even more generous when the MP is tasked with extra duties.

For example, cabinet ministers get an additional $75,000 a year from taxpayers, ministers of state receive an extra $57,000 from taxpayers, parliamentary secretaries are afforded a bonus of $16,000 from taxpayers and government caucus chairs get another $11,000 from taxpayers. Add to this well-to-do salary a pension plan that can only be called obscene (what other job results in a $30,000 pension for six years’ work?) and “hitting the lottery” is just about the perfect description.

Shortly after publishing the column, Kamloops-ThompsonCariboo Conservative MP Cathy McLeod, send me a tweet on Twitter, taking issue with some of my descriptions of an MP’s workload. McLeod suggested she and I trade jobs for a week, so I can experience first-hand the job of an MP. If the offer came from McLeod’s Conservative colleague, International Development Minister Bev Oda, I might have jumped at the suggestion. After all, how often does one get the opportunity to essentially steal from taxpayers, to act no different than a common thief, and escape any sanctions?

Oda should have been charged with theft; instead, her hubrisfilled visit to London, England, doesn’t even warrant demotion from cabinet or even a public tongue-lashing from her boss, Prime Minister Stephen Harper. To review: Oda was in London in June 2011 to attend a conference focused on vaccination and immunization of children in developing countries.

The conference was being held at the five-star Grange St. Pauls Hotel, where Oda had rooms waiting. Instead, she chose to upgrade to the spectacularly lavish Savoy and chose to hire a limousine, billing thousands of dollars extra to taxpayers.

This theft of public funds would have remained out of the public eye had the Canadian Press not exposed it by perusing travel documents.

Remember, this is the very same entitled MP who billed taxpayers $5,400 for limo use while attending the 2006 Juno Awards in Halifax. This is the very same self-righteous MP who compiled $11,000 in limousine bills during her first 15 months as a cabinet minister.

Obviously, getting elected to Parliament is akin to winning a lottery and, as Oda has shown, it is also not unlike robbing a bank while being granted immunity from prosecution.

It’s utterly disgusting to know we are all contributing to a disgraceful MP’s get-rich-quick scheme, while far too many Canadians are under immense stress to avoid bankruptcy at the end of each day. Every day Oda goes to sleep without being punished is one more day Harper’s Conservatives have further damaged their credibility.

Editorial

HST leaves lasting legacy The provincial government is bringing back the provincial sales tax (PST).

It had no choice — it was told to do so by voters last summer in the HST referendum. The harmonized tax, and most specifically, the way it came about, was so reviled that a majority of voters were quite prepared to bring back the PST. This despite the fact that the PST is not nearly as efficient a tax, and does not come with the tax credits that the HST does. Voters weren’t even swayed by a provincial promise to reduce the HST to 10 per cent, which would be two per cent lower than the combined GST and PST. But it has now done what it had to do, and the new PST looks like it will be at least a little simpler for businesses to deal with. Payments can be

made online and timelines will be more harmonized with the GST remittance schedule.

Despite the logistical changes needed, the entire HST exercise was beneficial in several respects. It showed that citizens have the power to put limits on governments that exceed their mandates.

There was no promise of an HST in the 2009 election. Two months later, it was government policy. B.C. referendum law allowed citizens to overthrow this reversal in policy. The HST debacle caused one premier to leave office and may yet cause the defeat of the government.

Future governments will be much more cautious in going against public will, and refusing to listen to reasonable concerns.

VIEW POINT

Salmon Arm Observer Wednesday, May 23, 2012

www.saobserver.net A7

The Observer asked:

If a tourist asked you what they should do while in Salmon Arm, what would you suggest?

Chris Letham “Bike or hike the South Canoe trails ... and then take in a movie at the Salmar.”

Linda Painchaud “Take a walk around McGuire Lake.”

Noah Bumstead “Canoe Beach.”

Peter Gook “A nice walk along the trail down by the wharf.”

Sam Lashuk “The SABNES nature walk.”

Room for Time for politicians to pony up fishing and turtles I am writing this on behalf of the Salmon Arm Fish & Game Club in response to the latest series of letters in the paper which address a perceived problem with the painted turtles and the children’s fishery located at McGuire Lake.

We would like to thank the City of Salmon Arm and the councillors who voted in favour of the restocking program, which gives our children the chance to experience the excitement of catching their very first fish.

This is an excellent opportunity for everyone and serves to educate youngsters in a fun way, the basics of how to fish, before they go out onto the big lake. Like anything we do in life, we have to start out small and perfect our abilities before taking on larger challenges.

We have discussed this issue at our monthly meeting and have agreed that our club is very interested in helping where we can, to keep this program in place. We offered to provide logs that could be installed in the lake, away from the fishing docks, for the turtles to rest and sun themselves.

We have older members of the club that remember this lake as a fishing pond and not a turtle pond. Many have very fond memories of their fathers taking them down to McGuire Lake fishing back in the 1940s, 1950s and 1960s.

Carl Sundmark remembers when A. D. Meek, who lived in a brick house at the north end of the lake, had stocked the lake with 5,000 trout for people to fish for, back in the early 1940s.

We would imagine that there were always painted turtles in the lake at that time, as well, and they survived quite well. We believe there is room for both the fishing and the turtles and we just need to make some adjustments to protect them both. The latest steps taken to protect the turtles are a step in the right direction and we will work with the city and others to help keep this going for all to enjoy.

Since the federal government raised the intention of reducing expenditures in government to reduce the debt, I emailed the relevant MP’s about this problem.

I suggested to Flaherty, Harper and Colin Mayes that they should start at the top to set an example of the seriousness of their action. I suggested they should reduce their remuneration, expenses and pensions.

I gave the example of Italy that reduced the salaries of government employees but

retained their own lavish remuneration. I suggested we should not mimic the Italian action. What I said fell on deaf ears. Our government didn’t start from the top but ran roughshod on government employees and never reduced their own remuneration. They acted the same as in Italy.

Colin Mayes, if he answers, only mimics his leader, Mr Harper. Flaherty answers by giving a similar response and never answers one’s questions. He never said Yes or No. By not answering he is

not interested in joining the pain of debt reduction. It’s the same as saying “don’t do as I do, do as I say.”

Colin Mayes should be put on our list as one who doesn’t consider he should contribute to debt reduction.

I rest my case.

I ask that all members of the OkanaganShuswap write your MP on this subject.

Maurice Boulanger

Canada’s bomb policy reeks of hypocrisy Imagine a child unwittingly picking up a “bomblet” – an unexploded part of a cluster bomb. It explodes, leaving the child maimed, bleeding, in agonizing pain, or dead.

Cluster bombs are explicitly designed to do this. For any parent, grandparent – or anyone who has ever loved a child – to visualize this scenario is appalling.

Of cluster bomb victims, 98 per cent are civilians, and most of these civilians are children.

Many countries have signed a treaty outlawing cluster bombs. (The USA, Russia and China produce and stockpile cluster bombs; they reject this treaty.)

Canada has signed the treaty. But Canada’s ratifying legislation (Bill S-10) is so watered down that it actually

helps non-signatory countries use these bombs.

Canada’s treaty negotiator says: “….this legislation is the worst of any of the 111 countries that have so far ratified this treaty.”

Instead of rejecting these horrendous weapons, Canada will indirectly support their use. Ironically, Canada has never used these weapons. Why now become complicit in their use?

Bill S-10 allows non-signatory countries (e.g. the USA) to transport weapons through our territory, allows investments in companies producing weapons, and allows Canadian pilots to drop cluster bombs while assisting non-signatory countries.

Internationally Canada’s stance will

be seen as pure hypocrisy.

The Harper government knows what it’s doing. While the children they love play in bomblet-free parks, these legislators are creating a toothless law that supports crippling and maiming children elsewhere.

The House of Commons is no safe haven. A legislator who supports Bill S-10 is personally responsible for any child torn apart by a cluster bomblet as a result of this intentionally insipid legislation. It will be the same as if they had placed it with their own hands.

The only morally acceptable position vis-à-vis cluster bombs is to rid them from this world.

Joanna Bell

‘Fun’ fishing anything but Shopping options The fact that the children’s fishing project is detrimental to the lake, fish and turtles will never sway those who feel nothing for the suffering of others. When a person has no feeling they are incapable of caring or respecting.

To encourage children to catch a fish and watch it struggle for its life as it’s pulled from the water by a hook piercing the roof of its mouth, not because we need or want the food but simply because it’s “fun,” will only teach them to feel nothing for

other life forms.

The next generation is our only hope to turn around the environmental catastrophe we have created. This will never happen if today’s children become adults who are not even capable of realizing the magnitude of suffering humans are causing. The McGuire Lake fishing project will only perpetuate the very lack of respect for nature that it is claiming to remedy.

Belinda Lyall

move out of town Could someone please tell me where I could purchase a face cloth, towels, or even underwear after Zellers and Fields are no longer here?

We are constantly being reminded to shop locally – where?

Now it appears a trip to Vernon, Kamloops or even Kelowna is our option.

That’s not shopping locally.

Is there some big secret we are not being told?

to study watershed

OBSERVER STAFF

Science is a subject best learned by doing.

This is the philosophy of Salmon Arm Secondary science teacher Dave Ramsay, who has won School District #83 board approval for a new environmental science course that will focus on the Shuswap Watershed.

The eight-credit course provides four credits each in Environmental Science 11 and Civics 11 and is designed to engage students in the science using a hands-on approach.

“We’re going to teach the science, but use the Shuswap as our text book, and the kids will be involved in all sorts of projects,” said the enthusiastic teacher two days after the board approved his pitch for the new course at the May board meeting.

And while students are discovering the science of the local watershed with a focus on sustainability, they will also learn about the structure of local government and community action and involvement from socials teacher Graham Gomme.

“This is such a great fit – not only are they learning about science and civics, they’re learning that it’s messy and complex,” Ramsay says. “It’s not like a text book: there are no answers, there’s interaction between big systems, challenges they’re not gonna know about until they get there.”

Having won board approval, Ramsay says he’ll be spending time and money getting set up for introduction of the course in September.

Funding for some of the equipment Ramsay needs will come from a $5,000 grant received from RBC last year.

When Wendy Gaudet, manager of client care at the local branch, handed over the cheque last fall, she said the proposal to make students (and the community) aware of the critical importance of water in general and the watershed in particular, was a perfect fit with the parameters set

Course prep: Salmon Arm Secondary science teacher Dave Ramsay has developed an environmental science-civics course that will teach students about the Shuswap Watershed and working with governments.

by RBC’s Blue Water Project Community Action Grant program.

Ramsay designed the course from a major curriculum project he created as part of his masters program in leadership and administration.

“I designed it in pieces to share (with other teachers) and as a whole course,” he said when RBC made their donation last fall, noting his work integrated some of the previous work accomplished by former teacher and member of the Kingfisher Interpretive Centre Kim Fulton.

“This is taking it to the next step, and every time I do a presentation on it I get the same response – excitement,” says Ramsay, who has been responsible for turning several of his former students onto the joys of science.

“I’ve got lots of students that have gone on to do geology, earth science, chemistry,” he says. “One was inspired to get a masters in resource management and is helping design the course. Another went on to geology and another is going on to earth and environmental science.”

Anytime. Anywhere.

Ramsay is thrilled the students will have the opportunity to see, feel and interact with the environment and to work outside and in the lab.

He believes the work will lead to more understanding of how and where damage is being done to the watershed and says the students will be interacting with the community and hopefully educating the general public – with good results.

“A well-educated community is educated in its own business,” says Ramsay. “We don’t know the specific business of Salmon Arm but we do know the lake and watershed is a big part of it, so we want to be educated. Education has a big role here and it should benefit our society.”

Passionate about science and the success of his students, an enthusiastic Ramsay says he’ll be in and out of the school all summer to make sure all is ready. He hopes the course will appeal to many students.

“It really fires me up seeing the kids getting hooked on science.”

Opinion

Premier bitten by pest problem BC VIEWS

Tom Fletcher VICTORIA – Premier Christy Clark has a new political problem buzzing around her office.

A year ago, the newly appointed premier was looking to change the channel for an unpopular government grappling with the fallout of the harmonized sales tax. Newly appointed NDP leader Adrian Dix was touting an idea that is all the rage with urban folks, a ban on “cosmetic pesticides.� All the better B.C. communities already have one, starting with Clark’s old stomping ground of Port Moody in 2003.

So she figured she’d better run to the front of this parade, swipe a popular policy from the opposition and do something to redefine the B.C. Liberal Party after the tax-cutting, regulation-repealing decade of Gordon Campbell. But first an allparty committee would

hold hearings around the province, chaired

by Kootenay East MLA Bill Bennett.

Bennett presented the committee’s report last week, and one could see what was coming.

Bennett is the rifle-toting outdoorsman who recently called on his government to abandon the carbon tax, saying it’s silly to keep pretending B.C. can change the world’s climate.

He was recently appointed by Clark to cochair the B.C. Liberal Party policy committee for next year’s election, a strong signal of the party’s rightward shift in response to the B.C. Conservative threat.

Bennett concluded after 10 months of hearings that the public aversion to common lawn and garden herbicides is based on “chemophobia� that flourishes due to scientific illiteracy.

That statement is both politically dangerous

and absolutely correct.

I first covered this issue in the Okanagan 25 years ago, when environmentalists fought the use of Roundup by the forests ministry to knock down brush and promote new trees.

The evidence boils down to this: these complex organic compounds break down in a short period to simpler, common components that pose no threat.

Thus, with buffer zones around watercourses and temporary entry restrictions, they are safe.

Unfortunately, most people know little or nothing about chemistry and refuse to believe this.

The parallels between local government responses to smart meter hysteria and this scientifically ignorant push against “pesticides� is telling.

As Bennett put it, when someone becomes convinced her child is at risk, “that mum is pretty darn compelling when she goes to council.�

Few have the courage to stand up to that.

This committee sought advice from Health Canada, whose scientists approve conditions of use for chemicals. Health Canada representative Lindsay Hansen said B.C. was the first province to ask for its advice, despite the fact that most provinces have imposed bans.

These bans are political, not public safety measures, University of Guelph toxicologist Keith Solomon told MLAs. The committee also learned that “cosmetic� use accounts for only five per cent of pesticides. Most of it is in agriculture, forestry and commercial pest control, with no ban proposed.

The NDP is content to fan public fear and ignore evidence, as with smart meters and oil pipelines. The premier has a choice here.

She can do the popular thing, or the right thing.

Applications: Funding sought for pedestrian access at 17th Avenue NE, sewage treatment plant upgrade.

By Martha Wickett OBSERVER STAFF

A project that’s been on the city’s wish list for at least a year has moved up the ladder.

Funding for a pedestrian overpass over the CP railway at 17th Avenue NE is one of two projects that staff recommended to city council be included in grant applications under the federal, provincial and Union of BC Municipalities gas tax agreement.

The estimated cost for the overpass, which would be about halfway between the fenced entrance to the foreshore trail and Christmas Island, and below the mailboxes on Lakeshore Drive, is $1.5 million.

The other project is an upgrade to the ultraviolet light disinfection system at the city’s sewage treatment plant, estimated at $650,000.

The two projects came from a list of five on the city’s ‘future capital works’ priority list.

After discussions at the May 14 council meeting, council voted unanimously to include two other projects in the grant applications. They are: an expansion to the airport taxiway, estimated at $850,000, as well as a sanitary sewer gravity collection system for 30th Street SW at the industrial park. The san-

itary sewer main extension project is estimated to cost $500,000.

The city’s director of engineering and public works, Robert Niewenhuizen, said the need for an upgrade to the ultraviolet light disinfection system at the city’s sewage treatment plant is a new project that’s been identified recently.

“We’re experiencing problems meeting our criteria – not all the time... We have a

Dayton Knight Consulting Engineers were contracted to provide options and design for the upgrade of the UV system.

As for the pedestrian overpass, Niewenhuizen said the project was identified as part of CP Rail’s plans for extending the railway siding in Salmon Arm. Double tracking is intended to reduce delays at crossings downtown.

city’s priority list. The Blackburn Park application was not successful.

Although this time around staff had decided the overpass and the sewage treatment plant were the two top priorities, and applying for two projects would be the best approach for success, council decided otherwise.

“If we don’t get one and two (sewage treatment and overpass), and we get three and five (airport and industrial park), jobs would be created, so I don’t see a loss to adding them,” said Coun. Chad Eliason. He noted that with an election year coming up, provincial funds might be more forthcoming.

percentage of failures allowed,” he said, referring to the Ministry of Environment permit requirements. Along with improving wastewater treatment, the upgrade would provide for future capacity and what’s called redundancy in the disinfection system. That means if one component of treatment fails, a spare is ready to take its place. He said the upgrade must be done, regardless of the grant application’s success. In 2011, Opus

OBSERVER STAFF

A TV crew was in the Shuswap May 11 to film an episode of extreme houseboating — extreme luxury that is.

Powderhouse Productions were on location in the Sicamous area filming one of a six-episode series on houseboating, which will be featured on the Travel Channel this fall.

The production focuses on Waterway Houseboats’ largest and most luxurious model, the 94-foot Legacy.

“They were looking for the biggest and best houseboat they could find and they found us,” says Neil Millar, general manager of Waterway Houseboats.

The three-storey houseboat is the largest on Shuswap Lake and offers all the comforts of an elite hotel. Waterways has two Legacy models in its fleet. The Legacy boasts a furnished boardroom, video conferencing capabilities, 14-foot ceilings, pure granite counter tops, enlarged hot tubs, a 42- inch plasma TV and a chandelier. They include six staterooms, four bonus rooms and can sleep 30 people.

“The filming was a smashing success and the weather could not have been better,” adds Millar, who was part of

It’s new, it’s easy and it’s free!

the production crew on board for the shoot. “I think the audience is going to be astonished.

Most people have no idea there is a boat like that on the Shuswap.”

Powderhouse Productions produces content internationally; however, this show will primarily be aimed at the U.S. market.

“Not only does it highlight Waterways, but the region as well.

People will get a chance to see the gorgeous natural setting and that they can enjoy it in style and comfort,” says Millar.

Shuswap Tourism was also involved in sponsoring the production, with Wendy Byhre, Shuswap Tourism’s marketing coordinator, also taking part in the filming.

Byhre assisted director Nina Giannell, and played a role as a houseboat guest for a dinner party.

“It was pretty exciting. We got to experience the houseboat, the meal, the beverages all from local suppliers,” says Byhre.

The food on board was provided by Sage Catering in Sicamous and beverages were provided by Shuswap Wineries and the Barley Station Brew Pub.

Shuswap Tourism, Roots & Blues organizers, and the Waterway Houseboat crew were on board volunteering as “actors” for the day.

“The film crew was really happy, they loved the area, loved the boat. They were really relaxed and great to work with. It was a lot of fun,” says Millar.

Survey seeks input on downtown recycling If Salmon Arm downtown business owners want a recycling program, they will soon have a chance to voice their opinions.

The Columbia Shuswap Regional District will be conducting a survey of the downtown businesses to gauge support for a recycling program for retail stores, restaurants and offices.

“We are trying to ac-

complish two things by this survey,” says CSRD Waste Reduction Facilitator Carmen Fennell. “We would like to find out what business owners are doing currently for recycling and if they would like to see more recycling options made available to them.”

Downtown Salmon Arm will be sending surveys to their members and surveys are

available now on the CSRD website.

“The survey will determine if businesses would find value in a more accessible recycling program, and what kind of monthly cost would be acceptable,” says Fennell.

“We find from our residential curbside programs, the more convenient it is, the more people will recycle.”

The survey results will be compiled by the end of June.

“We are looking forward to working with the business community and developing a recycling program that is both efficient and economical,” she says.

“The program will be trialed in 2012 and results will be used to promote a more permanent recycling solution.”

Connecting with their kids

AWARDS CEREMONY: 11:30 a.m. at the wharf.

SPONSORED BY

For all dads: Group aims to enhance relationships.

By Tammy Thielman OBSERVER STAFF

Gary Whitlock is a father with a purpose.

Not only does the dad of two daughters want to parent his girls well, he wants to help other dads do the same.

Whitlock knows that being a modern dad has many challenges, for both married and single dads, alike. That’s why Whitlock started the Dads and Daughters and Sons (DADS) Group.

“When you have kids, there’s no manual that you’re given,” chuckled Whitlock, himself a single dad.

Whitlock has taken many parenting courses, as well as asked friends for advice. After his marriage ended, Whitlock decided to take a more active role in raising his daughters, who he has custody of for a week at a time.

Though becoming a more dedicated parent had a lot of learning involved, Whitlock saw immediate benefits.

“I saw a huge difference in my girls.

I’ve learned to be more patient, to be quiet.

There’s always new information to learn because your kids are always changing.”

Whitlock wants fathers in the area to know that “wonderful resources” are available to help fathers connect with their kids

and even their spouses.

“Taking an active role in parenting your kids builds a better relationship with your children and also with your spouse,” said Whitlock, who points out that the DADS Group welcomes all fathers.

Since last August, the group has been meeting once a month to take part in fun, usually low-cost outings, like swimming, paintball, playing in the park and at Christmas, selecting a Christmas tree. In June, a barbecue is planned. The group will take a break over summer holidays, then resume meeting monthly in September.

Whitlock has had a lot of interest in the group, but there are many fathers who don’t realize the such a group is available to them.

“This is a safe place where dads can connect with their kids and enjoy time with them.

We really want to get the word out.”

Some of the biggest challenges facing fathers, and families, today are financial stress and changing roles within the family.

“Men are trying to figure out where they are at. Financial stress causes a lot of break ups. Dads now have to be involved and learn a lot of tools. It used

to be simple, now it’s not.”

Whitlock credits local support agencies like the Shuswap Family Resource and Referral Centre (SFRRC), the Downtown Activity Centre and Shuswap Children’s Association for being helpful in supporting kids and parents. Part of the DADS Group is to help make fathers and families aware of these resources.

“These agencies don’t have huge budgets but they are wonderful supports for parents in these tough times.”

Whitlock has received help with the group from SFRRC volunteer coordinator and receptionist Laureen Shannon.

Shannon has noticed a positive difference in many kids and dads who attend the group.

“They’re excited about the time they get to spend together.

They get to really engage with each other and they look forward to the next month’s outing.”

The group, Shannon points out, is for any dad, regardless of income, family or relationship situation. The group even includes dads from out of town, who may be in the area to spend time with their children, who live locally.

“The group is for every dad. We’d like to see more dads get involved and tell the group what they’d like to do.”

ORL fails to reach deal, union plans action

By Richard Rolke BLACK PRESS

It’s unknown if picket signs will pop up in front of local libraries.

Okanagan Regional Library has indicated it will stick to its current contract position with the Canadian Union of Public Employees.

“It’s a concern because we were hoping they would move and we could settle the contract,” said Rose Jurkic, local 1123 president.

The union’s 155 members — including in Sicamous, Silver Creek and South Shuswap — will be considering their next steps.

“There will be further job action but we have to give 72-hour notice and we have to decide what form of action we take,” said Jurkic.

ments to technology and services for the benefit of all ORL customers,” states an ORL release.

“We feel our wage and benefit packages

are fair, and this is evidenced by the extremely low turnover we have amongst ORL staff. It is true there haven’t been substantial improvements to

the benefits package in 20 years; this is because the package is quite comprehensive and in previous negotiations, CUPE has opted for salary increases

over benefits improvements.”

CUPE is seeking a five per cent wage hike over three years as well as improvements to benefits.

Jurkic says that based on an 80/20 split between the employer and unionized and non-union workers for dental coverage, ORL pays $30,000 a year.

“We’re talking about $30,000 in a $15 million budget. Aren’t we worth that?” she said adding that the cost of benefits has been eating away at paychques.

“We’re really trying to do job action that doesn’t affect the public.”

ORL has offered a 4.5 per cent increase over three years, and the union can decide if it goes to wages or benefits or a combination of both.

Sunshine, music, plus lots of air Event: New, returning riders participate.

By Martha Wickett OBSERVER STAFF

Warm sunshine, high-energy music and a fun, supportive crowd. The perfect ingredients for Pinz Boardshop’s Annual Skateboard Competition held May 19 at the Salmon Arm skatepark.

“It was a bit of a reunion,” said Anna Heckrodt, owner of Pinz, explaining that Jorden Murray from Salmon Arm, who now manages Underworld skateboard shop in Vancouver, came home to commentate the event.

Also present was Sean Lowe, a Salmon Arm skater who now gets paid to travel, compete “and live the dream.”

“It was a really good show of friends, old and new,” Heckrodt says.

While the beginners demonstrated how far they’ve come, the intermediates were also of great interest, she says, because they’re the ones who have really been practising, hoping to get sponsored. Those in the advanced category are those who are already riding for a shop.

Winners in the Beginner’s category were: first Mack Oleson, age 11; second Darrin Crawford, 12; and third Brayden Toews, 12.

Winners in the Intermediates were: first Jackson Hawthorne, second Evan Moerike and third David Brasseau.

In the Girls Open, winners were: first Sheri White, Vancouver; second Alexis Macrae, Revelstoke; and third Jade Spottedeagle, Vernon. In the Male Open category winners were: first Dallis Gautchier, Vernon; second Devin Poulton, Salmon Arm; and third Calvynn Radcliffe, Salmon Arm. Taking top spot in the Best Trick competition was Dallis Gautchier with the difficult frontside, tailside, kickflip out, which he aced on the double stairs.

shot while, at right, Sarah Botter, #17, controls the puck during a Team Blue versus Team White contest at the Female U18 Provincial Camp held May 17 to 21 at Shaw Centre.

Following a tough BC trail Two Salmon Arm hockey players were among the elite athletes who were chosen to participate in BC Hockey’s Stage 3, Female U18 Provincial Camp held May 17-21 in Salmon Arm. Both forward Sarah Botter and defenceman Alexa Ranahan were selected for the BC Hockey High Performance Provincial Camp.

Both Salmon Arm girls played extremely well during the five-day camp run

by Team BC staff, provincial instructors and experts in the areas of strength and conditioning, nutrition and other sport science princi-

pals. Throughout the camp, players are evaluated on their play, fitness/strength, attitude, and perceived contribution to a winning team.

Botter played on Team White while Ranahan played for Team Blue.

Selected players will be notified and those chosen will advance to the Team BC Summer Strength and Conditioning Camp.

At the Stage 4 Team BC Summer Camp from July 25 to 29, also held in Salmon Arm, the shortlisted players will begin to work on team concepts, training, and prepare for the national competition.

Stage 5 is a Team BC Preparation Tournament in September. Team BC will come together for a preparation tournament prior to competing in the games. This will give the team an opportunity to play games together before competing at the national championship. Players will be evaluated within the tournament environment and the final roster of 20 announced.

The process continues with Stage 6, the National Championship Preparation Camp in November.

The national championship is held in various regions and time zones across the coun-

try and Team BC athletes often compete on club teams all over Canada. Therefore it is necessary for Team BC to have a pre-stage camp prior to competing in the national championship. The pre-stage camp is designed to ensure players are adequately rested, have a chance for time zone acclimatization (if necessary), team building, and team practices/systems work.

The final Stage 7 is the national championship in November. Players selected to Team BC will represent the province at the 2012 Female National U18 Championship in Dawson Creek.

McBain back to Blues Troy Mick has made his first trade as the SilverBacks’ bench boss.

The Salmon Arm SilverBacks and the BC Hockey League have announced the trade of 19-year-old forward Graham McBain to the Winnipeg Blues of the Manitoba Junior Hockey League in exchange for future considerations.

McBain, the cousin of former SilverBack captain and Salmon Arm native Bobby

Lipsett, will return to his hometown of Winnipeg, Man. to suit up for the Blues next season.

McBain joined the SilverBacks from the Winnipeg Wild Midget AAA program and played 39 games while recording two goals and two assists for four points in his first year of Junior A action.

After the trade, head coach and general manager Troy Mick said: “I would like to

wish Graham the best of luck as he pursues his educational and hockey goals. As an organization we would like to thank Graham for his contributions on the ice and in the community this past season.”

In addition to making Salmon Arm Mayor Nancy Cooper an honorary SilverBack, the McBain trade marks Mick’s first official transaction in his new position.

Off to the extreme Olympics

TODAY’S ANSWERS Crossword • Flower Power

By Martha Wickett OBSERVER STAFF

Chantelle Bykerk will be jumping on her KTM 200 XC-W in July for the ultimate test.

The Salmon Arm motocross rider has qualified for the XGames, the Olympics for extreme sports.

She secured her spot in the Games – the only Canadian female dirtbiker yet to do so – in the opening round of a 2012 EnduroCross Series in Las Vegas on May 4.

There she placed fourth in the first round, picking up one of two spots available in Vegas to qualify for the Games.

“I’m pretty excited.

I didn’t think I’d get it at the first round,” she says happily. “It should be pretty amazing. I still can’t believe I made it.”

Bykerk, 19, says the competition in the U.S. is a lot harder than in Canada.

“The girls are fast.

I just have to practise and train hard. Hopefully I can do a little bit better down there.”

She says the races south of the border are physically and mentally draining.

“It’s really hard racing. I didn’t think I’d actually ever be into that kind of racing.

Now that I’ve done it, I actually love it. It’s a lot harder than the local stuff.”

Nation’s best: Salmon Arm’s Chantelle Bykerk shows off her winning style in one of her many enduros last season. She’s off the X-Games in Los Angeles next month.

Two girls from Alberta came to Las Vegas to try to qualify for the Games, but didn’t make it.

Bykerk says only 12 female motocross racers are permitted in the X-Games and, including her, five have now been selected. One of the racers is from Germany and the rest, from North America.

In fact, most of the racers, both male and female, will be from North America, Bykerk explains, but one of the top male racers is from Poland.

“It’s getting bigger and bigger so more people are coming,” she

FAN

of thee We o Week ee ee

says of the sport at the X-Games. “For a girl to come from Germany is pretty good.”

The event is open to all ages of racer and sizes of bike.

Bykerk’s boyfriend, Bobby Prochnau of Kamloops, is also a top dirtbiker and he, too, will be racing in the Games.

They don’t know quite what kind of a course to expect.

“I’m sure it will be hard. We don’t really know until we get there and look at it; I have no idea what to expect or train for. It’s really a guessing game.”

The X-Games take

place in Los Angeles from June 28 to July 1.

Sports at the Summer Games in L.A. include varieties of BMX, skateboard and motocross racing.

To add to her successes this season, Bykerk competed in the Vernon Squeal’n Pig event last weekend. There she won two races in the difficult intermediate category, racing against both women and men.

She won the threehour day race as well as the two-and-a-half hour night race.

The win adds to her enthusiasm as the XGames draw nearer.

4th Annual Salmon Arm Walk/Run forr Charity

High performance claims wins The TOFC U16 boys defeated Fusion (Vancouver-Richmond) on May 5, 2 to 0, to win their third game in the British Columbia Soccer Premier League (BCSPL) season.

From the beginning of the game, the TOFC boys executed what coach Tom Flanagan had been preaching throughout the year, namely stringing passes together and letting the ball do the work. In the second half, Fusion pressed hard to regain a 1-0 deficit, but the TOFC side held firm. Although Fusion had 13 corner kicks to TOFC’s one, and out-chanced the home team 13 to

five, the winning team did control the ball at times and pressured Fusion’s back line. In the 63rd minute, a series of wild bounces led to the second goal of the game – centre midfielder Tyler Shalansky from Kelowna lobbed the ball off his knee to forward Isaac Walton from Salmon Arm, and a few bounces later the ball sailed over Fusion’s keeper into the back of the net.

The Thompson Okanagan U16 boys won their second consecutive game on May 6 at the Rutland fields by beating South Fraser FC 3 to 2 in a close game.

The first half ended in a tie and,

in the second half, it looked like TOFC would take the lead when Walton broke free at midfield and went in alone on South Fraser’s keeper; the ball hit the post and the game remained tied. Three minutes into injury time Ben McDonald of Kelowna headed the ball in off a TOFC corner kick to give the team a well-deserved victory.

Voice of the

Shuswap

By Barb Brouwer OBSERVER STAFF

N

ew voices will be travelling the airwaves this fall and they will be our own.

A group of committed volunteers has been working for several years to create a local radio station and have high hopes CKVS will be on the air by the end of September.

Along with the music of talented local artists, voices that have never been heard will be on the radio – from First Nations, to handicapped people who will be able to describe a day in their life, to other groups and individuals of all kinds, as well as emergency info, road conditions, local weather.

“There will also be businesses and we will talk about them not just as businesses but as members of the community,” says Steve Corrie, vice-president of the Voice of the Shuswap Broadcast Society. “In fact, this will be a particular opportunity for smaller, local businesses to talk about what they do and about their involvement in the community.”

Voice of the Shuswap will not adopt an advocacy position, says Warren Bell, actively recruited by Corrie to the post.

“We will be taking no position on what we record and present. We are committed to witness what goes on in Salmon Arm and the broader Shuswap, without passing judgment or exercising our discrimination for or against anything…” says Bell. “We are embarking on a role that is extremely valuable for community development, but does not involve deciding how that development will proceed.”

That will be the job of area citizens, says Bell, noting CKVS will simply be standing by with microphones, relaying action and information to friends and neighbours.

The essence will be community-based programming – music, community celebrations, cultural activities, current events, features, personalities and everything else that involves sound or that can be described in speech and sound.

“I think community radio is extremely important because it allows all voices in a community to be heard and it frees programming from the tyranny of commercial sponsorship,” says Bell, noting all private radio stations are, of necessity, compelled to pay attention the prerogatives of their sponsoring advertisers. “Voice of the Shuswap will have sponsors, but our focus will be on the community and sponsors will gain appeal through their support of community ventures, activities and citizens.”

Anyone who has an interest in taking an idea to the air,

BARB BROUWER/OBSERVER

Speaking up: Voice of the Shuswap board members (from left) Skylar Plourde, Dan White, Warren Bell, Hugo Rampen, Leah Shaw and Steve Corrie are hard at work on the new station. must be a member of the society, either as a supporter of the station or as an active member engaged in some aspect of programming or production.

“We train them and assist them to produce their program, whatever it may be,” says Corrie, noting CBC freelancer and Voice of the Shuswap board member Leah Shaw will provide the first training session at the end of May. “It’s already over-subscribed – instead of 12 people, we’re up to about 14 and people are still trying to get on board.”

The training is for people who want to run a particular show and includes use of the equipment, studio etiquette and language, and is provided at the society’s large studio at the SASCU Downtown Activity Centre.

Plans are to be on the air initially for six hours a day, probably 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.

“A lot depends on the availability of people who would host it,” says Corrie, adding the society has access to canned programming from an association of community radio stations.

The local station has already received a nod from Industry Canada and is awaiting CRTC approval.

“We’re quite comfortable they will approve the application,” says Bell, noting the society has been given permission to establish their transmission site at Mascon’s tower atop Fly Hills.

Corrie says the idea for a local community radio station was hatched five years ago when Steve De Boer was driving back and forth from Chase to do some spoken word programming in that community.

“That was a long drive, so we had lots of conversations

playing at the GRAND 100 Hudson Avenue

and by 2009 and 2010 we had an interim board of directors that met at the college,” he says, calling De Boer a very capable Okanagan College grad and member of their winning SIFE team. “He was top of his class in accounting and he’s the numbers guy who did our business plan.”

Corrie says other capable Voice of the Shuswap Broadcast Society board members include Hugo Rampen as treasurer, Leah Shaw as programming director, Kate Fulton, Marcus Smith, Skylar Plourde, Blu Hopkins as, “the automatic gateway into the world of music and Dan White as the secretary and technical whizz.”

Their own kind of music

By Barb Brouwer OBSERVER STAFF

It began with a plan to give local songwriters a chance to introduce their own music.

And, after two highly successful songwriters showcases in March and April, the third and final chapter of this yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s series, features Jim Leduc, Brad Ulmer and Nadeen Preedy and Jeff Person.

A multi-instrumentalist and performing songwriter, Leduc is a 25-year veteran of award-winning bands.

Leduc has spent many successful years performing and recording in the bluegrass/folk/ country music industry and has a long list of credits to his name.

He was a member of the Rocky Mountain Bluegrass Boys, two-time winners of the British Columbia Country Music Associationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Bluegrass Performers of the Year.

He was a founding member of the popular bluegrass band String Loaded, which was named Bluegrass Group of the Year in 1996.

Leduc was also an integral part of the crowdpleasing, hard-driving, bluegrass band, Canadian Whitewater, who were recipients of the 2005 Scorpion Award for Bluegrass Artist of

Great guitars: Jim Leduc, Nadeen Preedy, Jeff Person and Brad Ulmer perform in a Songwritersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Showcase this Saturday. the Year.

Most recently Leduc enjoyed a fun-filled six-year run with the acoustic folk/bluegrass group Blu Hopkins & Silvercreek, who were named Bluegrass Band of the Year by the British Columbia Interior Music Awards in 2008.

Leduc now resides in the North Shuswap, pursuing his songwriting career and performing at local area coffee houses and other venues throughout the Thompson-Okanagan.

Ulmer lives on an organic farm/wildlife sanctuary with his wife, Amanda, four dogs, a three-legged cat, a roving flock of guinea hens, chickens and peacocks.

Observing the world

and finding it sadly lacking, Ulmer is often found writing highly opinionated letters to the national radio news forums.

Loath to leave his sanctuary, Ulmer has succumbed to his wifeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s nagging and has begun to connect with the outside world through song.

Passionate and always political, his music is not for the timid. His goals are to challenge the listenerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s every perspective and are flavoured with â&#x20AC;&#x153;like world peace and stuff.â&#x20AC;?

Veteran performers, Preedy and Person have been writing and playing together for many years and describe their music as â&#x20AC;&#x153;folkish bizzaro.â&#x20AC;?

Most of their songs tell stories, some uplifting and some sad.

If you listen closely youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re liable to find more than a hint of humour in their lyrics.

Both are alumni of the Henderson Forbes Songwriting workshops held annually at the George Ryga Center in Summerland and since arriving in the the Shuswap in 1989, they have been inspired to write many songs about this area.

Some of these songs will be included on their current CD project.

The showcase takes place at 7:30 p.m. Saturday at SAGA Public Art Gallery. Tickets at $10 are available at Acorn Music.

Heritage tour: Turn-of-the-century homes open for viewing June 3.

By Cavelle Layes OBSERVER STAFF

Be whisked back in time and discover some of Salmon Arm’s heritage by touring eight turn-of-the-century houses on Sunday, June 3 from 1 to 4:30 p.m.

This is the second year for the Heritage Home Tour, which will raise money for the historical society, as well as the Heritage Commission in Salmon Arm. The tour begins with volunteers serving tea at the SAGA Public Art Gallery, giving history enthusiasts a chance mingle before the tour.

Then it’s out on the road to explore each of the eight homes on this year’s lineup.

Each house will have its own guide ready to take groups through the home and explain important features throughout.

Most of the houses on display this year were built between 1907 and 1922 and feature some of the architectural styles which were used during this time period.

The Buckell house, one of those on the tour list, currently belongs to Clyde and Shirley Tucker, who bought the house in 1971.

The house was built in 1924 for Dr. William Buckell, who had emigrated from England. It

is located in South Canoe, known as “Little England” in the 1920s.

Clyde describes his home as being a typical turn-of-the-century, colonial- style house.

“It is just a marvelous old place,” says Tucker. “It’s just got a real ambiance about it that you don’t find in modern houses.”

The house features 10-and-a-half foot ceilings, fir floors, and 14 cast-iron radiators that still heat the house.

Clyde also describes original furniture that is displayed within the house, including a dining room table, buffet and original wood floorboards.

According to Clyde, Buckell had turned the property into an orchard that produced prize-winning apples for the New York fair.

The Tuckers also put in an orchard back in the ’70s, which they kept until just two years ago.

Clyde describes seeing pictures of dinner parties which were frequently held by Buckell and his brother, who was also a doctor and lived on the adjoining property.

Also included on the Heritage Home Tour roster is the SAGA Public Art Gallery, which is celebrating the 75 birthday of the building.

The art gallery was originally built in 1937 and was home to the

ARIES (March 21 - April 19): Activity increases requiring you to learn fast. You have the dexterity to showcase your best. Love asks that you talk it out, whether grievance or for solace. Late night conversations can heal wounds and bring deeper understanding.

TAURUS (April 20 - May 20): A financial opportunity this week does bring a positive upswing, but it will take a few days before it hits your heart. The change leads you to feel good about yourself, appropriately raising your estimation of what you have to offer employers and the world.

GEMINI (May 21 - June 20): A New Moon Solar eclipse in your sign ushers in a brave understanding and an uplifting, quick new start. In an instant, you see with clarity what was elusive until now. Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t worry if the steps forward canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be guaranteed. The shift in your heart is what matters most.

CANCER (June 21 - July 22): Your most effective strategies take place under wraps and behind closed doors. Allow yourself to enjoy the company of those who bring joy into your life, without stating the help you need. They already know and are working on it.

Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re helped in ways you cannot yet see.

LEO (July 23 - August 22): A new friend could enter your life now, bringing with him or her increased opportunities to expand your influence. It is the ideal time to be out and about, open to the people rushing towards you. Singles may find a platonic relationship moving towards love.

VIRGO (August 23 - September 22): Each one of us is entitled to change our mind. What you once said yes to, you could say no if your opinion has altered.

You are placing yourself at a higher priority than you have in a long time. Cherish the self-trust you feel.

Speak your mind to gain your self-respect.

LIBRA (September 23 - October 22): The chance to travel could open up to you in a flash, whether from a friendâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s proposition or a winning contest entry. If youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve applied for a scholarship related to higher education, exceptionally good news arrives. If you have the inspiration to go back to school, trust it.

SCORPIO (October 23 - November 21): You could receive a large payment by surprise, whether itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a grant, bursary, or commission check it shows up to your delight. This is also a great time to court your relationship with financial institutions and seek the money you need. Prosperity is available to you.

SAGITTARIUS (November 22 - December 21): Love knows few boundaries. Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s an important realization about the love you have and the love you want. Those attached get news of a significant change in your partnerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s situation. Singles could meet someone rather suddenly, reminiscent of the past.

CAPRICORN (December 22 - January 19): Your work place could go through a shake up that delights you. You shake a trouble maker right out of your sphere and feel lighter for it. The ambitions you deem most empowering get a show of support. If youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re looking for a paid project, it could arrive now.

AQUARIUS (January 20 - February 18): A conversation hits your heart, helping you clarify just what you need to be happy. A message from someone connected to you since childhood relays his or her admiration. A crush you have might be hard to hide. Enjoy your flirtations, but be mindful of your environment.

PISCES (February 19 - March 20): Your home could go through a positive fresh beginning. Whether itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a troublesome roommate that leaves, or a new place you find, you are thrilled. Home projects should involve reorganization, not expensive additions.

Sewer line breaks budget Canoe: High groundwater levels create problems.

By Martha Wickett OBSERVER STAFF

Water, water everywhere meant that replacement of a sanitary sewer line in Canoe cost about $100,000 more than was initially estimated.

A project to replace the pipeline at 75th Avenue NE and Canoe Beach Drive ran into major difficulties because of the high groundwater table, reported Robert Niewenhuizen, city director of engineering and public works, to council on May 14.

The replacement is part of a phased project upgrading the sewer line, with a portion going under the railway tracks.

“It has been our experience with past projects in Canoe that the water table can fluctuate greatly from site to site. This project had us experience our worst conditions with construction in Canoe,” Niewenhuizen wrote in a staff report.

“The high water table coupled with running sand and very wet silts caused for very unstable soil condi-

tions. This resulted in very large excavations which were complicated further by the proximity of the railway tracks.”

An extra $34,000 was required for “dewatering” the site, while extra slope stabilization was $49,000.

Because of the unforeseen conditions, the project took longer than expected and additional costs such as engineering and traffic control were realized, he said.

“We didn’t want the train to derail at that location so quite a bit of

work was required.”

Coun. Alan Harrison asked if time of year would have made a difference.

Niewenhuizen said that despite freezing conditions when the contractor excavated, free-flowing water was found underneath.

“So what you’re saying is, it’s impossible to tell unless you get into it,” said Harrison.

The shortfall is being made up with $65,000 from a city surplus and $35,000 that was redirected from the 17th Avenue NE railway crossing project.
