Stomp returns to Silver Creek

Tradition crosses generations Sisiaskit and Kaleb Jules dance together at the 29th Annual Skwlax Pow Wow held over the weekend at the Skwlax Pow Wow Grounds. For more images from the event, see page A4.

The ever-popular workshop schedule for Roots and Blues has been released. See it on A21.

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.

And so, apparently is the 23rd annual Summer Stomp, which took place in Silver Creek over the weekend.

Organizers have deemed the event exceptional and incident-free.

While Friday was a bit of a washout, thanks to heavy rains, about 1,500 people were onsite Saturday night.

“Not one complaint,” said Steve Hammer, treasurer of the non-profit Salmon Arm Stomp, noting organizers would canvas the neighbourhood to hear what nearby residents thought

of the event. “It was the first year on larger grounds and all in all was an excellent event.”

But police and CRSD officials report some concerns, particularly around noise and alcohol. The CSRD had granted approval for the event on the condition the music would be shut off at midnight, but music reportedly played until 3 a.m. Sunday.

Just as he had predicted prior to the event, Electoral Area D director René Talbot was annoyed the loud music played three hours later than the midnight curfew.

CSRD’s music curfew ignored Continued from front CSRD development services assistant Dan Passmore and development manager Gerald Christie visited the site Friday afternoon.

“At that time, we were pleased the grounds were laid out in accordance with plans filed with the regional district,” he said, noting a call from Talbot Monday morning shifted his mood. “We entered into an agreement to run it in a certain way and evidence points to the fact they did not live up to their part of the agreement. I can’t tell if that will impact any future dealings, but obviously there’s a great deal of disappointment there.”

Cleaning up the site Monday morning, Hammer said details will be made available in a full report, probably within a few days.

Hammer said organizers had received an exemption from the BC Forest Service, which has issued a fire ban on all but campfires that measure no more than a half-metre wide and half-metre high.

Precautions were taken and the fire was built in a protected fire ring.

“It was a large fire, but not a huge fire,” said Hammer. “It keeps everybody together – it’s part of the ambiance and a safety measure so nobody else has fires.”

In terms of profit, Hammer says they have yet to reconcile bills.

“We do know we’re in the black, he said.

“All of our bills will be paid and we’ll have some money for charity.”

While he says he knows some newcomers were arriving as late as 11:30 p.m. Saturday, he is not aware if they were arriving from Sturgis North, which was taking place at the speedway near Vernon.

Unwilling to comment on possible issues, Hammer said he did not want to “start any stonethrowing.”

“Let them throw the first stone,” he continued. “We had no drunks, no issues on site, that I’ve heard of. It was 100 per cent golden.”

That’s not the way RCMP and Columbia Shuswap Regional District officials see it.

“Several complaints did come out of that event and we will be doing a bit of follow up,” said Gord Molendyk, North Okanagan-Vernon RCMP spokesperson.

“They were supposed to shut the music down at a certain time and they didn’t follow through with that,” said Molendyk. “They will be dealing with the regional district around some of those issues out there.”

Passmore says CSRD staff will be crafting temporary use permits for board approval, which could be in effect by next year.

“After such a long time in politics, I have scar tissue on scar tissue in terms of thick skin,” he says, noting he does not believe changing the party’s name, something that will be debated at the party’s October convention, is a wise move.

change,” he says. “I think our challenges go back to the extraordinarily awkward and unfortunate way we introduced the HST. We’re still living with that.”

Should he run in the next election and should his government win, Abbott says Education would be his ministry of choice.

“The run for premier was the office I was looking for,” he adds.

“That was unsuccessful, so you move on.”

While he did love teaching political sci-

While this year’s Stomp was out of Salmon Arm RCMP’s jurisdiction, local police conducted “enhanced enforcement” and road checks over the weekend, including several in Salmon Arm and Silver Creek, just north of the Silver Creek store.

More than 500 vehicles were checked, resulting in several 24-hour driving prohibitions and two vehicle impounds.

BUY ONE / GET ONE Canoe Beach back open

JAMES MURRAY/OBSERVER

A number of people take advantage of the small area of sand at Canoe Beach which was re-opened this weekend after the City of Salmon Arm closed it due to health hazards from flooding.

OfďŹ cers think they got their bear OBSERVER STAFF

A bear matching the description of one that attacked three mountain bikers on the South Canoe Trails last week was shot by a conservation officer Thursday.

Conservation officer Brent Smith says his office got a call from the Hadow Road area reporting that a bear was attacking a domestic goat.

Smith says the bear matched the descriptions provided by the mountain bikers – scruffy, shedding, with dark legs and cinnamon coloured sides.

And his paws were a close match with the track left by the bear some six kilometres away in the area of the Prudential Trail, where Roots and Blues Festival artistic director Hugo Rampen was chased by a bruin last Saturday morning.

Smith described the bear as being medium-sized, about 220 pounds with a very thin hide and poor hair quality. “It points to the fact this is the likely candidate,� he says.

Smith spotted the bear who had been trying to sneak back into a goat pen and shot him because, unlike most black bears in the area who go the other way when they see humans, this one was showing very aggressive traits. “The goat is alive, but pretty beat up,� he said. “We’re gonna leave the trap for another 24 hours and pull it Friday if we don’t get anything.�

Smith says bears are attracted to valley bottoms as fruit and corn ripen.

He encourages visitors to wilderness areas to use caution and carry pepper spray.

Team rescues tourist

By Barb Brouwer Breaking a leg may not seem very lucky.

But the outcome could have been much worse when a man from Alberta jumped into the water above Albas Falls.

Shuswap Volunteer Search and Rescue were called out to Celista Creek last Wednesday afternoon and arrived at the scene to discover the young man had managed to get out of the water. “He had jumped into a pool and his leg got caught between two rocks and snapped his ankle,� said SAR search manager John Schut.

Along with nine SAR members, including a stretcher team, the Coast Guard Rescue Boat #1 out of Sicamous and an ambulance crew were also dispatched. “We found him sitting on a craggy rock,� said Schut. “We extricated him, splinted his leg and had just done splinting him when the ambulance crew came along and looked after his vitals.�

Schut says it was quite an effort to get the young man out of the area in the “boiling heat.� “It was a bit of a hike to get him out; he was a big fellow, a well-built young man over six feet tall,� Schut said. “We

packed him up from just above the falls to a bridge and then across to a road.�

From there, the man was taken in a B.C. Parks truck to the lake and transferred to the rescue boat. From there he was transported by ambulance to Vernon for treatment.

Schut says the extrication took about 90 minutes and volunteers were out on the call for about four hours. “He was a very good patient and it all worked out really well,� said Schut. “Between SAR, the ambulance, Parks and the boat people, there was really good team work. It all fell together nicely.�

Crash claims life of local man

By Jennifer Smith BLACK PRESS

A Salmon Arm man was killed and another injured in a collision in Vernon’s Swan Lake area.

Damon Stephen Joe La Sota, of Salmon Arm, was killed in a two-vehicle accident on Highway 97 Saturday shortly after 5 p.m.

La Sota was a passenger in a southbound, older Buick se-

dan which was t-boned when it turned left off the busy highway onto Pleasant Valley Road.

The Buick was broadsided by a newer Nissan sedan.

The three people in the Buick were all taken to Vernon Jubilee Hospital with various injuries.

CPR was performed on 24-year-old La Sota, recently of Clairmont, Alta., the entire trip to

the hospital, but he unfortunately died.

“They performed CPR on him the whole way in and worked very hard to keep him,” said BX-Swan Lake fire chief Bill Wacey of his department’s efforts. “It’s very unfortunate.”

The driver of the vehicle, a 25-year-old Vernon resident, remains in hospital in serious condition.

The other passenger, a 21-year-old Salmon Arm man, was treated and released.

The lone occupant of the Nissan, a 48-yearold Armstrong man, remains in hospital in stable condition.

“Traffic had to be detoured around the accident as a result, and it disrupted a heavy volume of traffic happening at that time,” said RCMP spokesperson

Gord Molendyk of the several hour delay.

“North Okanagan Traffic Services as well as the coroners service would like anyone who may have seen this accident to contact them at 250-545-7171.”

RCMP are also asking motorists to slow down, be alert and drive safely as this is the third fatal accident in the North Okanagan in less than a week.

Imagine coughing up this much phlegm every day, just to breathe.

OPINION

FOR WHAT IT’S WORTH

Tracy Hughes

Weber offer beats the lotto The Shuswap’s been a-buzz with the news that Nashville Predators defenceman and Sicamous product Shea Weber signed an offer sheet with the Philadelphia Flyers for a total contract amount of $110 million.

Yup, $110 MILLION. Mind you, that is for a 14-year deal, which includes $68 million in bonus money in the first six years.

In total, Weber will make $14 million in each of the first four years; $12 million in years five and six; $6 million in each of the next four seasons; $3 million in year 11; and $1 million in each of the remaining years. Nashville has until 8:30 tonight – to match the deal for the market’s marquee defenceman and restricted free agent. Otherwise he’ll be donning a Flyers jersey.

Weber is a valuable commodity. He’s a two-time NHL first team All-Star. He has been a finalist for the Norris Trophy, for the league’s best defenceman, multiple times. He is a physical presence who also contributed 43 points or more from the blue line in each of the last four seasons. And who can forget his mindblowing slapshot in the 2010 Olympics that ripped right through the goal net? Beyond that, he’s a darn nice guy off the ice.

I’ve had the pleasure of interviewing Weber earlier on in his career and he never failed to be polite and without sign of the arrogance or egotism that can so easily become part of your psyche when you’ve got star talent. He always credited his family and his local Shuswap hockey coaches for putting him on the road to success. At a recent golf tournament that raised more than $100,000 to go towards cancer research, and also made contributions to the fundraising for Sicamous flood victims, Weber committed $50,000 of his own cash to the cause. (We now certainly know he’s good for it) I don’t begrudge Weber his success. He has worked hard to get where he is and who among us wouldn’t want to reap the fruit of their labours? But for most of us Regular Joes, that kind of coin is almost unfathomable. It also makes me wonder about our society and where we place our worth. According to my calculations, if Weber worked a 40-hour week for the next 14 years, he’d be making $3,777 an hour. A so-called living wage in B.C. is pegged at about $17.50 an hour. Minimum wage is $10.25 an hour.

One of the best things I read about the deal came from the Vancouver Sun’s Brad Ziemer, who wondered if Weber could actually buy his hometown for that kind of money.

Turns out no.

I got quite a chuckle to read how the reporter had contacted Ruth Walper, the director of financial services, to find out that Sicamous’ net worth was pegged at $789 million.

But a business baron he could be, as the community’s business sector is worth an estimated $55 million.

“And he could definitely get a very nice waterfront condo,” Walper said with a laugh.

Sure could.

Editorial

B.C. pops the cork on wine rules We have to applaud the latest move by the B.C. provincial government to start the process of freeing up trade in wine between Canada’s provinces.

It was, perhaps, naive to have thought that once the federal government eliminated their 1928 prohibition on shipping wines between the provinces, consumers would be able to freely ship their favourite across provincial lines.

Instead, jealous of their prerogatives, many provinces responded to the eagerly awaited change, either with regulations nearly as restrictive as the now defunct prohibition-era law, or by setting up committees to study what they should do.

Even B.C., where both the ruling Liberal party and the opposition NDP had spoken out in favour of eliminating the federal prohibition, government responded to the news that parliament had passed Bill C-311 with regulations limiting the quantity of

wine a person could bring into the province, and outright forbidding Internet sales and shipping.

That changed when Rich Coleman, minister responsible for liquor, announced that B.C. was opening its borders to tariff-free direct shipping of wines for personal consumption, as long as they were grown and produced in the shipping province. The province can only regulate incoming shipments, so B.C. wineries are still unable to ship to other provinces; while it may have take a few weeks — really, moving very quickly for government — B.C. has boldly stepped away from the pack. We can only hope that B.C.’s leadership in this area will encourage other provinces to recognize the realities and opportunities of living in an wired world and begin to lower the barriers on their sides of the border.

The Observer asked:

Do you think MLA George Abbott should run in the upcoming election?

Buzz Campbell “Absolutely. He’s taken on some pretty tough portfolios and done well.”

Julie MacInnes “Yes. I think he has some good ideas.”

Laura Wilson ‘Sure. He’s a people person and he’s doing a good job.”

Ray Sibilleau “Maybe some new blood with new ideas might be a good idea.”

Vivian Morris “It depends on the alternative – but it is always good to have a local person.”

Conservatives neglecting science Shoppers forced to go out of town It appears there will be many local parents with school age children facing a ‘back to school’ clothing problem.

Is there a store selling children’s clothing in Salmon Arm, now that Zellers and Fields will have left? I’ve been told “No.” Also, I have been told there won’t be certain pieces of adult clothing available here.

Also, an automobile wrecking business was on this land that re-located, I understand, for a larger space. There were at least two homes on this land. Is the existing RV business on the same land?

There are many disgruntled local people because of these delays. More than once I have heard the suggestion that a weekly bus service be started to operate between here and Vernon.

One possibility is the bus would park at Walmart, say, for two hours and then go to a nearby mall for another two hours before returning to Salmon Arm. I was told that Revelstoke already has such a service, although I can’t say this is correct for sure.

We have persons in Salmon Arm capable of operating such a service, or is there such a service operating here now, and if so, I hope the service would be advertised.

We live in an “Age of Denial”.

Sean B. Carroll, a molecular microbiologist, lists six steps used in the Age of Denial: • Doubt the science.

• Question scientists’ motives and interests.

• Magnify legitimate, normal disagreements among scientists and cite gadflies as authorities.

• Exaggerate the potential harm of believing the science.

• Appeal to personal liberty and free-

dom.

• Show that accepting the science would represent a repudiation of a cherished common philosophy.

I do not believe Conservative Party propaganda. Conservative MPs make broad based statements and appear to have few knowledgeable supporters in the media.

Where are the journalists, researchers and scientists who support their statements?

I am concerned about the staff that have been laid off, the science projects

cancelled (Ella Lakes Area), and oil pipelines like the Northern Gateway Project.

How will the assessments and science be done? Who will do all of the enforcement?

I do not trust the Conservative Party to do this work or make sound decisions based on science. I believe that the Conservative Party are in a state of denial.

I do not agree with what they are doing to our country.

Art gallery exhibit too good to be missed I recently had the pleasure of viewing the exhibit of paintings at the SAGA Public Art Gallery entitled “Historiscapes.”

It’s a collection of images by three wellknown Shuswap artists, Lisa Figueroa, Linda Franklin and Tracey Kutschker, either as individual painters or as part of a group the three are calling, Lazuline (the

name is explained at the exhibit).

I found this wonderful exhibit a delight to the eye.

Each artist brings her own individual sensibility, but all share a love of the natural world, a celebration of the transcendent blue of lapis lazuli, and an exuberant appreciation of the world of colour and form,

especially as related to the structures and shapes, both man-made and natural, in and around this town.

I don’t think anybody will be disappointed who takes the time to drop over to the gallery and have a look around.

Why not put your faith in Stephen Harper?

It’s easy to be an environmentalist if your day-to-day life already includes clean water, quality food, comfortable accommodations, personal security, emotional support, income stability and manageable debt. If your life doesn’t, then environmental concerns are not likely on your radar. You’re probably more concerned about winning this week’s lottery.

Global warming is tomorrow’s problem

anyway. With seven billion people living on this planet, what difference can one environmentally active person make anyway? Beside that, the experts are arguing about how to interpret the latest scientific facts and figures, and furthermore, Harper’s government isn’t concerned about increasing Canada’s carbon emissions.

We should put our faith in Mr. Harper and forget about the environment. The fu-

ture will take care of itself. It always has.

Let’s just bury our heads in those sands … that would be the tar sands … and try to estimate how much of that crude oil money will actually filter down to the average Canadian like you and me. While you’re working out that slippery answer, I’m off to the corner store to buy a Lotto ticket.

Caution needed when we trade freedoms We all exchange a small amount of freedom for the security of living within an organized society.

Power is given to government for the sole purpose of restricting behavior that injures others against their will. This limited government is the symbol of a free

society. Extending the powers of government beyond that, into matters of personal choice, crosses the line between freedom, and tyranny.

It is up to us, as voters, to decide how much government involvement we want in our lives, but when making this decision, it

is important to keep in mind that if you allow yourself to impose your beliefs on others, through the use of government, you are opening the door for others to impose their beliefs on you.

Arts centre seeks city funding

By Lachlan Labere OBSERVER STAFF

Salmon Arm council will hold off until budget time to decide if city residents will become patrons of the arts through taxation.

As representatives of the newly formed Salmon Arm Arts Centre and the Shuswap District Arts Council, Tracey Kutschker, director-curator, and Louise Wallace-Richmond, board director, proposed a partnership with the city with the introduction of a feefor-service agreement that would have the city help fund endeavours at the centre to the tune of $35,000 annually (or $2 per resident) over the next five years.

This, Kutschker explained, would allow

the board to expand the list of services and programs being offered at the centre, as well as employ people to help offer those programs. A portion would also be allotted to the creation of municipal public art projects.

“We’re really excited about partnering with the city on really beautiful things that can happen in our community that create not only more gathering places, but more things to think about,” Kutschker explained to council at their Monday meeting.

Kutschker and Wallace-Richmond said that other cities fund their arts at an average of $35 per resident, and that for every dollar spent, there’s a $1.31 economic return that goes back to the city

in revenue. In creating a partnership with the city, there would be a stable, reliable source of funding available that could be used as leverage for additional grant money.

Asked by Coun.

Alan Harrison how $35,000 was arrived at, Kutschker explained that when funding from the province, via direct access grants, was cut to the former SAGA board and the arts council, it represented a $31,000 loss.

“So we got the emergency funding from the city that year, and… we realized this is really how much it is to have a sustainable budget, so we asked for $31,000, plus the $5,000 for the 2012 celebrations, celebrating 75 years,” said Kutschker. “Well, to be perfectly honest,

that created a balanced budget for us…”

Kutschker said the $35,000 is a small boost from the $31,000.

It would give the group a sustainable budget to continue their work and add a few extras that have been on their wish list for a few years.

Council commended Kutschker and Richmond for their presentation, and Harrison said he was looking favourably at the request, but he agreed with the rest of council that a final decision be reserved for council’s 2013 budget deliberations later this year.

Wallace-Richmond promised that if council comes onboard with the proposal, she and Kutschker wouldn’t come back to council for another five years.

Salmon Arm is currently ahead of the game when it comes to planning for cemeteries, but the city is being advised to consider adding a new cemetery site.

When it comes to existing cemeteries, Salmon Arm is keeping pace with demand.

But Erik Lees, one of the members of Landscape Architects and Planners, who helped create the parks and recreation master plan, advises things could change quite quickly.

“It is not an area you want to fall behind in,” says Lees.

He explains that Salmon Arm has an aging population and while 75 per cent of Salmon Arm residents choose cremation over burial, he warns that you need to be careful.

“You need to be prepared if this trend changes,” says Lees.

British Columbia currently has one of the highest cremation rates in North America, but if something like fossil fuel goes up in price, this could change the number of people who choose this option.

A proposed new cemetery will span about 20 acres of land

Bird’s eye view: The proposed location of the new cemetery is shown in relation to the current Mt. Ida cemetery and city hall. and will be located on 20 Ave SE at 30 St. SE. Lees advised city council that a flexible plan that can be phased in over time should be adopted.

The new cemetery should last 80 years and will support any increase in burial patterns.

Lees explained that creating the cemetery in phases will reduce costs. If the city only clears sections of the land at a time, there will be no added cost of maintaining land that will not be used for years to come.

While Lees does not believe the cemetery will make the city

money, he also doesn’t foresee it costing money either if it is constructed over a period of time.

The proposed land does have existing, informal, cross-country skiing and snowshoe trails. Lees says he hopes these trails can be incorporated into the cemetery’s plan.

This will keep the trails open to the public and possibly create a welcoming feature for those who would be looking into buying plots.

Lees suggested the cemetery not be modeled after the ones in places like Victoria or Vancouver.

While they are beau-

tiful, he notes that Salmon Arm has a unique culture and history all it’s own.

Lees would like to see these things incorporated into the overall plan of the cemetery, whether it is through pillars, walkways, or walls.

According to Lees, there currently are no residents living immediately adjacent to the property and an openhouse meeting has been held to hear community concerns.

There will be a second open house in the fall, to give residents a chance to voice their concerns and ask any questions they might have.

Raven takes over CSRD chair

By Barb Brouwer OBSERVER STAFF

There was no need to vote.

No other names were put forward so Dave Raven took the chair position by acclamation at the Columbia Shuswap Regional District’s July 19 board meeting in Salmon Arm. The mayor of Revelstoke and representative for his community on the CSRD board had taken over as interim chair when longtime Electoral Area C South Shuswap director Ted Bacigalupo became se-

riously ill last winter.

Bacigalupo’s death in June left not only an empty chair but a vacancy at the head of the table as well.

Longtime Electoral Area E Rural Sicamous director Rhona Martin was elected vice-chair on the first ballot, and said she considers the position to be an honour.

Following this administrative task, Raven noted two letters of condolence the regional district received following Bacigalupo’s death.

Dave Raven NEW CSRD CHAIR “In my time in politics and through working with those serving at the local government level, I have experienced first-hand the many British Columbians who have selflessly de-

voted their time, energy and ideas to improving their communities in so many ways,” wrote Ida Chong, Minister of Community, Sport and Cultural Development.

“I understand Ted was enthusiastic and passionate about the issues affecting the citizens…

His accomplishments are a testament to his commitment to the needs of the electorate.”

Heath Slee, president of the Union of BC Municipalities, noted the depth of experience Bacigalupo acquired

September by-election for Area C The matter of who will replace longtime Columbia Shuswap Regional District director Ted Bacigalupo will be resolved in a September by-election.

day, July 27.

The actual nomination period begins Tuesday, Aug. 14 and ends Friday, Aug. 24.

Advance voting days take place Wednesday, Sept. 19 and Tuesday,

Sept. 25.

SILVERBACKS SPOTLIGHT The Silverbacks will have several new faces in the line-up this season, including a defender who is well known in BCHL households.

Kelowna native Brayden Sherbinin was acquired as part of a futures deal with Cowichan Valley last season, along with former Silverback Brandon Mistal. Sherbinin; who stands 6 feet tall and is armed with a lefthanded shot, will bring another offensive presence to the Apes blue line.

The 19 year old says that after moving around last year, he is elated to have a new home in Salmon Arm “We’re all looking for a new beginning with a new coach and things are really looking up for the program.”

Sherbinin is not only a former Cowichan Valley Capital but a one-time Westside Warrior as well, a rivalry he’s looking forward too “I don’t think the two teams like each other very much so it should be a lot of fun.”

With 47 points in 108 BCHL games, it’s easy for Brayden to describe his style of play “I’m an offensive defenseman, definitely a skater who likes to move the puck and jump up in the play.”

Not just feet and hands, this Okanagan product sports his thinking cap as well, he’s committed to Quinnipiac University after this season, “It’s going to be a great time, I’ve heard lots of great things about college hockey and how exciting it is to play so it will really be a great experience.”

Brayden and the rest of his SilverBack teammates will kick-off Main Camp on August 23rd at the Shaw Centre.

Stay tuned for next week’s feature on returning forward Brandon Mistal and his thoughts on new Head Coach Troy Mick and another go round in Salmon Arm.

Directors make pitch for more cops

By Barb Brouwer OBSERVER STAFF

Columbia Shuswap Regional District directors got a chance to air their beefs about rural policing at last Thursday’s board meeting.

Mike Sekela, chief superintendent of the RCMP’s Southeast District, attended the meeting to listen to gripes and answer questions.

In charge of communications and policing in rural areas, Sekela oversees 45 detachments.

First up was Area D director René Talbot, who represents constituents in Falkland, Silver Creek, Deep Creek and Ranchero.

“You might as well close the office down,” he said of Falkland, noting there are supposed to be three officers assigned to the detachment. “Nobody is ever there.”

Long frustrated by a change in police coverage to the area, Talbot complained that it took police 45 minutes to respond to a recent fatal motorcycle accident.

Talbot also expressed concerns about the effect of the Stomp in Silver Creek and Sturgis North on Falkland.

“Last year, we had Sturgis North, with events in Kelowna, Vernon and Salmon Arm, but they used Falkland as a

meeting place,” he said.

“There were hundreds of motorcycles and no police in sight.”

While Salmon Arm Mayor Nancy Cooper applauded police presence at local events, Area E Rural Sicamous director Rhona Martin said she would like to a bigger presence in rural areas.

“For many years we’ve been asking for an increased number of cops,” she said, pointing out she would like RCMP officers to socialize and mingle, and get to know residents – particularly children.

Talbot, a Falkland resident, agreed, pointing out that RCMP members used to go into schools and take their coffee breaks in town, where they interacted with residents.

“Now they come in, they do what they need to do and they’re gone again,” he said.

“When people don’t know cops, information does not flow. People miss not seeing and not knowing the cops in our area.”

In responses, Sekela said numbers are based on geography of an area, size, on-call hours and calls for service.

He promised to share the results of a rural policing study currently underway.

Listening ears: Mike Sekela, RCMP chief superintendent Southeast division, listened to CSRD directors’ pleas and said he would do the best he could with available resources. increase resources and I am looking at that in terms of regional districts,” he said. “Some are looking at a bylaw to “buy” policemen… I will get details, and can explore those options.”

Martin told him she is familiar with the Christina Lake program, which involves using grant-in-aid funds.

“We have high assessments and they’re paying considerably more for policing in (electoral areas) F and E, but the detachment has not grown since when?” she asked, taking issue with using the number of call-outs to an area as a basis for providing police service. “Calls is a flawed way to do it,” she said. “I recall (Area C) Ted Bacigalupo saying years ago that no-

body calls the police anymore because they don’t come, so what’s the use?’”

On a more congratulatory note, Sicamous Mayor Darrel Trouton, expressed his appreciation for members of his detachment for going “above and beyond,” in their response to recent flooding.

Also expressing thanks was Area F North Shuswap director Larry Morgan.

“I think policing presence in our area is much improved,” he said. “We have a good relationship with the detachment and we are pleased with (Chase Sgt.) Gary Heebner’s aggressive attitude in dealing with issues.”

Wrapping up, Sekela told directors he noted

directors’ concerns, which are common to other areas as well.

But he advised the RCMP has to make the best uses of available resources.

“Some things do suffer, but others are enhanced and maybe that’s response time,” he said.

“It’s economically not feasible to have cops in every community, but I will make sure it will be the best service with the resources we have.”

It’s as friendly to the environment as it is to your budget.

Changes benefit wine industry

By Cavelle Layes OBSERVER STAFF

Wine lovers and makers rejoice.

Imagine, you travel from Alberta to have a nice summer holiday in Salmon Arm. You decide to pick up a few bottles of wine to enjoy on your trip. When it is time to return home, you realize you still have a couple of bottles left, so you throw them in the back of your car and return to your Alberta home.

Until July 12, this would have been illegal.

A number of months ago, wine-lovers and wine-makers got together to make some noise about British Columbia’s outdated wine laws.

Now, British Columbians can officially order their wine of choice from any recognized winery from any other province that produces 100 per cent Canadian wine.

Not only can they

bring some wine home after taking a wine tour firsthand, but they can order it online and have it shipped directly to their door.

“British Columbia is prepared to take the lead on opening up the Canadian marketplace for our world-renowned B.C. wineries,” said Rich Coleman, Minister responsible for liquor, in a press release July 12.

“Wine directly shipped from a winery in another Canadian jurisdiction to B.C. residents will be exempt from provincial markups,” stated a press release from the Ministry of Energy and Mines’ Liquor Distribution Branch. “To be eligible for direct shipping, the wine ingredients must be 100 per cent grown and produced in the province it is being shipped from, and the wine must be for personal consumption only.”

There is no limit on

how much wine can be shipped across provincial borders, as long as it is not used for profit.

This is not the only accomplishment achieved by wine activists.

On July 19, Coleman We want to provide our restaurant industry with greater flexibility in terms of the services it can offer to its customers.

Rich Coleman MLA

announced that British Columbians can now bring their own bottle of wine into participating restaurants and enjoy it with their meals.

“We want to provide our restaurant industry with greater flexibility in terms of the services

it can offer to its customers,” said Coleman.

“Today’s change does just that – it allows customers to pair their favorite wine with their favorite restaurant.”

Not all restaurants will be adopting this option, and those who do, reserve the right to limit the amount consumed, as well as charge a corkage fee.

Ian Tostenson, president and CEO of the British Columbia Restaurant and Food Service Association believes this move may help restaurants from an economic perspective.

“More business will result in positive economic impacts such as increased employment and downstream benefits to suppliers of the industry. This is very innovative, flexible and common-sense policy,” says Tostenson.

Mark con Schellwitz, vice president of Western Canada for the Canadian Restaurant and Association, says “res-

taurateurs, especially those with limited wine inventories, welcome the option of allowing their guests to bring their own wine. This liquor policy change allows those restaurants’ guests who want to celebrate a special event by bringing a vintage bottle of wine from their own cellar to their favorite restaurant to do so.”

New business: Registered acupuncturist Iuliu Faget inserts a

needle at his newly opened Natural Balance Acupuncture Clinic.

Beneficial for every body

By Cavelle Layes OBSERVER STAFF

A combination of traditional and modern techniques may bring a better balance to Salmon Arm residents.

Natural Balance Acupuncture Clinic has opened its doors and is now providing a wide variety of acupuncture services.

The clinic will offer a variety of techniques, including electroacupuncture, a form of acupuncture in which needles are attached to a device that generates continuous electric pulses; Tuina, a method of stimulating the flow of qi by various barehanded techniques that do not involve needles; and cupping therapy, where a suction is created on the skin to mobilize blood flow in

order to promote healing.

Owner Iuliu Faget says, acupuncture is beneficial to almost everyone and serves many different purposes.

“It mostly gets the body back into a natural balanced state, but it also is a pain and stress relief from various illnesses,” he says. “It ultimately improves your quality of life.”

The clinic is pairing ancient techniques with more modern options by bringing in a acugraph.

The machine will provide digital imagery in the process of diagnosing patients.

Faget says the clinic will combine this new method with traditional ways of diagnosing, such as through pulse beats and sight.

Faget, immigrated

to Canada in 1991 and has since been an active member of the community.

He has always had a passion for health and fitness, which has been expressed through his track-running career, followed by his years of coaching.

He has a degree in fitness and nutrition as well as in acupuncture therapy.

Natural Balance Acupuncture Clinic is also providing a mobile service for those who cannot make it to the clinic.

The clinic is located in the Maple Tree Medical Clinic at 1181 Sixth Ave. NE and will operate between of 9 a.m. and noon and 2 and 7 p.m.

Joe Bodner was injured in an accident involving his cow. To prevent it straying from the pasture he tied a long rope between the cow and his wrist. Then, it being a pleasant day, lay down for a short nap.

All might have worked well had the cow not been stung by a hornet, and away she went, Joe on the other end of the rope. He suffered damages that transferred him to hospital for several days.�

Confusion reigns when it comes to cholesterol they contain trans fats.

Butter is bad because it is very high in saturated fat (and makes things very tasty so you eat more).

Non-hydrogenated margarines are a better

HEALTHY BITES

Serena Caner Cholesterol — this topic tends to be a party killer.

First of all, lowering your cholesterol generally involves eating less of the foods you love (meat, butter, ice cream…). Secondly, cholesterol recommendations are surrounded by the most controversy. Fat is good! Fat is bad! Why can’t they make up their minds?

So what is cholesterol?

Cholesterol is a fatlike substance made in the body and found in foods of animal origin.

That means meat, poultry, seafood, cream, milk, cheese, butter and eggs all contain cholesterol; plant-based foods do not. Some cholesterol is needed to make healthy cells and hormones, but too much circulating in your blood increases your risk of heart attack and stroke.

How do I reduce my cholesterol?

The most important fats to reduce are trans and saturated fats. Trans fats are most commonly found in bakery items (using shortening or hard margarines) and deep fried foods. Saturated fats are high in butter, cheese, meat, cream and chocolate. Other important strategies to lower cholesterol include: increasing your fibre intake, exercising regularly (raises good cholesterol), quitting smoking, and losing weight (No problem, right?).

What about eggs?

The yolk of the egg is very high in cholesterol and saturated fat; however, eggs are also a good source of protein, vitamins and minerals and can be part of a healthy diet. If you are trying to lower your cholesterol, it is generally recommended to limit yourself to three egg yolks per week.

Spreadable fat: Butter or margarine?

Hydrogenated fats, in some margarines

and shortening are the worst choice because

choice, because they are mostly unsaturated vegetable oils, made solid by the addition of a little naturally-saturated palm or coconut oil.

Margarines with

added plant sterols and stanols are a new product on the market. These reduce cholesterol absorption in the gut and have been shown in research to help reduce blood cho-

lesterol.

If you like the taste of butter, or think margarines are “modified plastic products,” you can also make your own spreadable fat by mixing a pound of but-

ter with a cup of vegetable or olive oil.

Runner sets the pace to victory BC Summer Games: Glynis Sim races to gold and bronze medals in track events; Shuswap athletes post strong showings in various sports.

It was a golden weekend on the track for Salmon Arm’s Glynis Sim. As part of the Thompson-Okanagan team, Sim raced through the finish of the 2000 metres in a time of 6:37.39, beating her own personal best of 6:42, which she hit the last time she ran the event. She also just edged her teammate Kendall Fitzgerald of Kamloops, as well, turning on one last powerful kick within the last 50m of the five-lap race at Surrey’s Bear Creek Park.

“I didn’t want to start too fast, but I wanted to keep up the pace most of the race, and then speed up the last lap,” Sim said.

She ended up running her first lap a little faster than she had planned, but the end result was still a gold-medal finish. The 14-year-old’s strategy to finish off the race fast also aided in beating another competitor who has often beat her before in the 2,000 m event.

Going into the girls 1,200 m race, a large number of girls, including Sim, had a shot at the gold medal. It was all up for grabs too, until a final kick of speed from Burnaby’s Sophia Stevenson over the last 200 metres landed her top spot.

Sim kept the pressure on and hung in for the third-place finish.

In the pool, Logan Pilias placed sixth in the boys 50m freestyle with a time of 27.64.

Thomas Flahr placed eighth in the boys 200m freestyle with a time of 2:13.34 and 13th in the 400m freestyle, notching a time of 4:51.96.

Skyla Eberle placed 28th in the girls 400m freestyle with a time of 5:16.07 In box lacrosse, which featured local

athletes Sean MacDonald, Adam New, Justin Backus and Paul Beevor-Potts, the team had a tough first round loss, but came back against the Kootenays team by a score of 13-6. The squad faced Vancouver IslandCentral Coast in an attempt to get into the gold-medal contest, but was thwarted by a hot goalie, and lost the contest 10-9.

The team went into the bronze-medal match against Fraser River Delta, which was a matchup of teams who missed playing for gold by one point each. In the end, it was the Fraser Valley team who took the victory with a 10-7 score.

In rowing, Salmon Arm’s An-Mei Andreassen and Maya Pereira took to the water numerous times, with their best finish being a fourth-place effort, with two other teammates in the girls quad skills event.

The pair also notched sixth place in the girls doubles skills event. They placed fifth in the girls quads double elimination contest and 10th in the doubles elimination event.

In the time trials, the pair placed 10th and then joined two other teammates from Kelowna and Vernon to place fifth in the quads time trial event.

In baseball action, which featured play from Salmon Arm’s Riley Jepson and Canoe’s Bradley Whitehead, finished fifth overall.

The team started with a 7-3 loss to Fraser Valley, then tied Vancouver Island 4-4.

They got a win against Victoria with a score of 7-4 and then ambushed Kootenay 11-1. Their round-robin performance was not good enough to get them into the final medal games.

TED United still reigns It was a battle for first place between TED United and the Chick Kickers from Vernon as the Salmon Arm team only leads the standings by two points.

But the teams ended up evenly matched in last week’s contest, where they played to a 3-3 draw. Both teams had multiple chances throughout the game and took turns being in control of the game.

TED United opened the scoring with Emily Styles looping a shot over the goalie’s head.

Chick Kickers scored the next two goals with TED replying on a Cathy Bartsch break-away shot. The score was tied 2-2 going into the second half. Bartsch scored again to give TED the lead, but the team was unable to hold it with Chick kickers scoring in the final minutes of the game off of a corner kick. Kyla Sherman made two great saves on a penalty shot and was stellar in net.

Ted United maintains their position on top of the league with the tie.

SilverBacks schedule set The Salmon Arm SilverBacks are busy on the trade front again, moving forward Stefan Nicholishen to the SJHL’s Nipawin Hawks in return for future considerations. Nicholishen, a 19 year old Penticton native who is a former member of both the Penticton Vees and West Kelowna Warriors, notched four goals and three assists over 46 games with the SilverBacks in 2011-2012.

Boxer out to defend world title

FREE FOOTBALL EVENT

By Cavelle Layes OBSERVER STAFF

He is fighting his way to the top, literally.

Salmon Arm resident Mickey Sims will be heading to Kansas City to defend his title in the world masters boxing championships on Aug. 2.

This will be the second time he has fought in the competition, having taken home first place in last yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s event.

Sims anticipates to be competing in events from Aug. 2 straight through until Aug. 4, when the finals will be held, provided he continues to advance.

Sims has been competing since he was about five years old. He got into the sport when his father, who was also a boxer, was beginning to train his older brother.

Sims became his brotherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s sparring partner and they would often train together. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There is nothing like fighting your brother,â&#x20AC;?

jokes Sims, who spent a large part of his boxing career coaching others, before beginning to compete on his own in major events.

He describes taking his team to the Canada Games in Prince Edward Island in 1991 as one of his fondest memories, including the pride he felt for his players.

Sims spent most of his life in Salmon Arm and was a sheriff for years before he retired.

It was after he retired that he began competing himself. While he now attends many events as a fighter, he is still an active coach.

Sims says that his love for the sport is derived from the discipline and training required in order to do well, and the camaraderie among friends. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You get in the ring and try to knock each other out, but you are friends before the fight and will still be after,â&#x20AC;? he says.

He is nervous about

competing in the world championships and a little apprehensive. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Last year I went in knowing it was going to be really tough, but I never thought I would get far. When they raised my hand in the final fight I was in shock, and that last fight was easy.â&#x20AC;?

Sims says he spent pretty much a whole year training for the boxing championship last year. Now, after having one year of the world championships under his belt, he has learned from his experience and has altered his practice routing to best suit what he felt he was lacking last year. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I feel stronger this year than I did last year,â&#x20AC;? he says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I hope thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a sign.â&#x20AC;?

Sims practises for hours each day, varying between weight loss, cardio, and competitive training among other styles. He practises hard, but keeps his weekends as a time to relax.

When he returns,

Workshops Roots and Blues Musicians

By Barb Brouwer OBSERVER STAFF

Like a patchwork quilt, Roots and Blues Festival artistic director Hugo Rampen pieces together workshops – often with magical results.

“When I start to create the workshops, I look for similarities, or complimentary styles, or the potential of creating new styles,” he says, noting that Urban Trad, which runs at 12:05 p.m. Sunday, Aug. 19 combines Cape Breton’s the Beatons, Ethiopia’s the Krar Collective and Canada’s “grandaddy of urban fusion,” Adham Shaik.

“Traditional music, like the Celtic of Cape Breton is highly guarded and Indian ragas have strict structures,” says Rampen. “Let’s throw that all out the window and let them create music that has traditional roots but is allowed to fuse and mix into a multi-cultural cocktail with an urban feel.”

Other workshops are likely to provide equally amazing experiences.

On the Barn Stage Saturday Watch Us Watch You runs 10:30 a.m. From Woodie Guthrie to Bob Marley, and long before social media, the songwriter has provided the medium to inform the global community about issues of importance. This is a workshop about writing music that makes a difference and includes Taj Weekes, Alex Cuba, The Boom Booms and Shred Kelly.

Scratch This at12:55 p.m. looks at the world of the the scratch DJ, who can infiltrate musical genres like no othercontemporary musician. Whether it’s a playful sonic embellishment, or a driving bass line, DJ’s like Kid Koala handle vinyl with amazing virtuosity. Add renowned banjo artist Jayme Stone and Ethiopia’s Krar Collective to the mix, and you get a multi-cultural mashup that will take audiences on an incredible trek from Appalachia to the deserts of Eretria to downtown Montreal.

Collaborate: Artistic director Hugo Rampen has set up workshops that combine the talents of groups like the Krar Collective and the Beatons with often magical results.

Sunday Summer Harvest Jams and Preserves runs at 10:30 a.m. and is a workshop with a full bodied flavour. Harvesting summer musical delights, this menu item is made of powerful horns, urban pop, with a hint of world fusions. Spice it up even further and throw a large dollop of DJ zest and have an incredible summer jam with Adham Shaikh (didgeridoo, and percussion), Hollerado (rhythm section), and the amazing horns of Five Alarm Funk.

Songwriters Workshop at 12:55 p.m. will examine the different approaches to their songwriting. The objectives may be different and the process is unique to the person as will be highlighted by four incredible and unique songwriters – Buckman Coe, Taj Weekes, Cuff The Duke and Demetra.

On the Shade Stage Saturday Johnny Cash may be the granddaddy of songs of Hurt & Sorrow, which runs at 12:05 p.m., but Cold Specks travels a similar road with her ‘doom soul.’ Fellow performers Raleigh explore the darker side with cello and harmonies, and Declan O’Donovan can serve a strong drink of reality with his whisky voice and smoky bar piano.

Musical Environmental, which rolls out at 4:05 p.m. examines how musicians are inspired by their environment. Hilary Grist’s Tall Buildings brilliantly conveys her urban experience while Cold Specks explores the connection between foreign environments and spirituality. Raleigh’s songs express deep emotional landscapes while Buckman Coe’s music speaks of his experiences studying the eco-psychological effects of globalization. What happens when these voices unite?

This workshop is inspired by the story of blues maestro Floyd Lee and his journey back to his long lost boyhood home. Sit a while and rediscover what ‘home’ means, with Lee, Blackie & the Rodeo Kings, Super Chikan and Kelly Joe Phelps.

The Blues Family Tree at 2:30 p.m. explores the origin of the blues in Africa, its evolution via slave culture, and the influence of jazz and big band. This is a no-holds-barred blues journey with three of the most interesting contemporary world/blues fusion artists – Hazmat Modine, Markus James & the Wassonrai and Bombino.

Sunday I Did It My Way at 11:50 a.m. combines the unique, different, unconventional, the extraordinary talents of the Floyd Lee Band, Super Chikan and Hazmat Modine.

Continuing with the third edition of this workshop, which brings Canadian musicians together for a Blues session extraordinaire, 12 Bars North of the 49th - Part 3 plays at 2:30 p.m. Hear the incomparable Serena Ryder alongside two fabulous new bands from the West.

Squeezing out a win Clara Anderson was at the top of her game at the 39th annual Kimberley International Old Time Accordion Championships, winning first place in the age 61 to 65 category for Old Time Music.

There are many categories of music in the festival, including jazz, classical and popular music, says Anderson.

But old-time music is what she knows best and has played all of her life.

“This year’s win was particularly sweet because for the past two years I has just missed out on first place by a fraction of a point,” she says. “And this year, I scored my highest average ever of 92.7 per cent.”

Competitors in the Old Time category must play an old-time waltz, a polka, and a schottische. There are three world-class adjudicators watching, lis-

Winning ways: Accordionist Clara Anderson takes first place in her division. tening and scoring.

Thirty per cent of the contestant’s mark comes from the technical judge and 40 per cent is given by the judge who is looking at how well the contestant creates old-time phrasing and feeling.

The final 30 per cent is given by two dance judges who are dancing to the music off-stage

where the contestant cannot see them.

A fourth adjudicator is watching to see who will be awarded a trophy (one junior and one adult), for showmanship.

This was the fifth year that Anderson has competed, and she has taken home one bronze, two silvers and her latest: one gold.

Anderson is a self -taught musician, capable of reading music, but is mostly an auditory learner.

When she hears a song she likes, she makes her own arrangement and plays it in her own style.

If she has difficulty finding songs she likes that are not over-used at competitions, she often composes her own.

Anderson says there are many amazing people, especially children, competing at this festival and there is a real resurgence of the accordion in the world. ”That is good news, as there are not many contestants in the 25 to 50 age range because in some of the past years it wasn’t considered ‘cool’ to learn how to play an accordion,” she says. “What with the new accordions that are being manufactured today, it is now a very versatile instrument.”

New to the Community or Expecting a Baby....

Please call Welcome Wagon today!

By Cavelle Layes OBSERVER STAFF

Salmon Armâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Jaeden IzikDzurko is a prime example of how hard work, and a lot of practice, can pay off in a big way, even at a young age.

At 13, he already has earned multiple awards and frequently plays complex compositions in competitions across British Columbia.

Jaeden has been in four competitions this year, and has just returned home from the Performing Arts B.C. Provincial Festival in Nanaimo with first place in the intermediate Canadian piano competition and an honourable mention in the junior piano competition.

One of the winning pieces Jaeden played was Canadian Rhapsody No.1: The Laurentianâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s by Court Stone. The strong musical composition depicts the seasons surrounding the mountainous range through complex strings of melodies.

Jaeden sent a letter to Stoneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s niece to ask for permission to use the music. Not only did she give Jaeden permission, she sent to him a copy of the music, along with a letter thanking him for taking an interest in her uncleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s music.

Jaedenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s mother, Patricia, says this is not the first time he has received such letters.

Jaeden often puts videos on You Tube and composers themselves have sent letters complimenting him for his rendition of their work.

Competitors have to earn a berth in provincials by participating in other competitions.

Just rewards: Hard work has paid off for Jaeden IzikDzurko, who earned first place in recent competition.

The way competition is structured, every time someone wins in a category, they must move up a level the following year.

If Jaeden makes it into the provincials next year he will be entering in the senior level of the Canadian Piano Competition.

This means that the 14-yearold will be competing against 18to 25-years-olds.

This doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t worry Jaeden however, who sees it as just one more goal to push towards and another great experience.

The young pianist, who also excels in swimming, says he loves learning to play the music. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I like adding my own ideas to those of the composers, adding

my own dynamic,â&#x20AC;? he says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The bigger the audience, the happier he is,â&#x20AC;? laughs his mom, Patricia.

Close to the competitions Jaeden typically spends up to four hours a day practicing.

What would make a 13-yearold dedicate so much of his time to something like this? His love for the music. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I really enjoy all the music I play, but if I had to pick a certain style it would be romantic, because there are so many different kinds, like the waltz. I also really like Jazz and the Canadian compositions because they are so different. I pretty much like all the music I play.â&#x20AC;?

Horoscope ARIES (March 21 - April 19): A single entity is ultimately responsible for itself, but among all strands of life and species, a delicate interdependence is at play.

A relationship that has been changeable now comes through for you in a big way, providing a conduit of blessings.

TAURUS (April 20 - May 20): A gorgeous alignment in the sky speaks to the foundation of your finances and work. A move towards home-based businesses is likely now, and delights you. People from your past open up good karma to you. In some cases, the blessings arrive anonymously.

GEMINI (May 21 - June 20): Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re getting a series of especially eventful days. Jupiter in your sign reaches out in a rare conversation with the planet of brilliance, Uranus. Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re meant to move towards your dreams through inspired and enthusiastic effort.

CANCER (June 21 - July 22): The ancients stared at the stars and mapped their movements. Later, the telescope came about, providing the means for important discoveries that built on the knowledge we already had. You realize now you have what you need to make an inspired start. The tools will come.

LEO (July 23 - August 22): Your sign is jumping this week. Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re at the hub of all the activity, if not initiating it yourself. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s really driven by a desire for experiences that clarify your direction. Stay close to the heart, but try your best to keep interactions light.

VIRGO (August 23 - September 22): Every emotion is a gift, and every frustration, a blessing. This is easy to understand in retrospect, but harder in the moment. Possibilities open if you use your desire for change wisely. Channel the tension towards action in the direction youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d like to go for real progress this week. #200 â&#x20AC;˘ How to play: Complete the grid so every row, column and 3x3 box contains every digit from 1 to 9 inclusively.

LIBRA (September 23 - October 22): Just when you thought youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d seen it all, love has a way of surprising and delighting you. A partner helps you move closer to a more ideal future, either with a tangible opportunity, or a great idea that could take your message to a broader stage.

SCORPIO (October 23 - November 21): Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re busy with activity on your career goals. Yet, a part of you feels removed, striving to find an emotional connection to power players who could grant you favours. You donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have to try so hard. The right contact will feel so natural, it surprises you.

SAGITTARIUS (November 22 - December 21): The Moon crosses over the North Node destiny point in your sign. Welcome one of the last moments of this special meeting. Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll get one more next month, and thatĂ­s it for years to come. Take advantage by listening to your life. Fate is kind to you now.

CAPRICORN (December 22 - January 19): Big money talks are taking place this week, as you figure out how to secure investment towards a dream. Go big or go home is your motto. Reconnect with those whoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve shown support in the past.

AQUARIUS (January 20 - February 18): Your ruling planet has been especially active this week, connecting first with planet of positive vibes Jupiter, then with retrograde Mercury. Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re working on a grand scheme that promises opportunity. Your enthusiasm attracts help from those higher on the ladder.

PISCES (February 19 - March 20): Remember and rejoice. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s good advice, and what you could use now. Your recollections of the past lead to a bold aim in the work space and brave personal changes. The past is the anchor that spurs you forward in this fun and prosperous week.

Isabella Lawson Foote Isabella Lawson Foote (nee Robertson) of Vernon, B.C. ‘graduated’ on July 9th, 2012 at the age of 98 years young leaving behind an amazing legacy of love and life! Born in Mara, B.C. on July 5th, 1914 to John and Margaret Robertson, Isabella was the youngest in the family of seven and although the youngest, came with the strongest zest for life. Isabella spent her growing up years on the farm on Riverside Road in Mara along with her sister, three brothers and cousins. They worked hard but also ‘played hard’ – swimming in the river, playing badminton and going to dances were favorite activities. She was very proud to be a lifetime pioneer of this area. When she was about eighteen Isabella moved to Vernon and worked at St. Michael’s Girls School. Not long after she met Edward Henry Foote at a dance and they were married on June 18th, 1935 in the little church in Mara. They built their home in Vernon in 1936 and she resided in that home Ed built for her until February 1st of this year when she moved to Carrington Place. Isabella was a sports fan – especially tennis, hockey and curling and played badminton until she was 86 years old and every game she played, she played to win! She even won gold and silver in the Senior Games. In earlier years they played a lot of tennis on their tennis court across the street which was Àooded in the winter for a skating rink. Isabella was always happy to see friends and relatives drop in and loved to get to know her neighbours. She also enjoyed the many evenings playing cards with their dear friends Dave and Alma Howrie. Isabella was an ‘at home’ mom but in her younger years she packed apples every fall for McDonald’s Packing House and was later employed by Eaton’s Store until she retired in the late 1970s. In the late 1960s Ed and Isabella built a cabin on Mara Lake at Swansea Point – a place they loved and where many happy times were spent with family and friends. She was blessed with the gift of hospitality and many bene¿ted from that special gift throughout her life.

Isabella is survived by her daughter Rita (Keith) Perry and three granddaughters, Heather (Anthony), Charisse (John) and Glynis (Christopher); and Michael and Sasha; twelve great-grandchildren; her sister, Margaret (Madge) and she was ‘Auntie Is’ or ‘Auntie Isa’ to several nieces and nephews whom she held close to her heart.

She was predeceased by her husband Ed in 1986; her son Derek in 1978; and three brothers, Robert, Edward and John.

Our heartfelt gratitude to the Interior Health staff for their support, counsel, and care over the last four years – their service allowed our Mom and Grandmother to stay in her home to just about the very end – her greatest desire. Additionally, we thank all who supported her during her ¿nal adventure: Carrington Place, the nurses at Vernon Jubilee Hospital, Dr. Botha and especially the caring staff at Schaffer Residence at Oakside in Enderby – not only did they provide her with beautiful care but the support to Isabella’s family which will be cherished always. Finally, a ‘great big thank you’ to Isabella’s neighbours for always being there to help out in these latter years –you made a difference in her life!

A Celebration Of Isabella’s Life will be held at Bethel Funeral Chapel on Saturday, July 28th, 2012 at 2:00 P.M. with a tea to follow. Her desire was to be cremated and buried with her husband and son. A private burial will take place at a later time. Should anyone so desire, a memorial donation may be made to the charity of your choice.

“Goodbye for now, ‘til we meet again.”

Funeral arrangements have been made with BETHEL FUNERAL CHAPEL LTD., 5605-27th Street, Vernon, B.C. V1T 8Z5 250-542-1187

In Loving Memory of WEED, CECIL LEROY December 8, 1929 - July 16, 2012 It is with heartfelt sadness that we announce the passing of Cec Weed of Sorrento, B.C. Cec was born in Melford, Saskatchwan.

At the age of 13, he travelled to BC to start building his dream. At age of 24, he married Doreen Thom in May 1954. They had a long and happy marriage.

They were true soul mates. Cec spent most of his life in the trucking business. He partnered up with a long time friend and started a successful trucking company in the lower mainland. When he decided it was time to retire, his three sons took over the business and have done him proud by making it very successful. Cec moved to Sorrento in 1999, where he and Doreen enjoyed working around the yard and enjoying each others company. Many people knew him as the man who loved to talk. He had many stories to share with those who would listen. We all knew him as a loving caring man, who would give you the world if he could. He will be sadly missed by all that knew him. Cec was predeceased by his mother, Estelle (Woolsey) & Clifford Weed. He leaves behind to mourn him; his loving wife Doreen, their four children, Glenn (Sherri), Keith (Tracy), Vicki (Craig) and Darryl (Debbie), grandchildren Kim, Trevor (Melissa), Jessica, Kevin, Jamie, Ryan (Amber), Kyle (Lesley), Dale (Chantal), Tyler and Nikki (Jeff), great grandchildren, Kayla, Aaron, Hayden, Ethan, Jordan and Linden. The family would like to give special thanks to the nurses and doctors at Shuswap Lake General Hospital, who cared for him in his ďŹ nal days as well as special thanks to Dr. Patterson for helping us through the transition.

STADNYK, WASYL ALFRED (Bill) Wasyl Alfred Stadnyk {Bill} aged 79, passed away at his home in Cache Creek, BC on Sat., July 14, 2012.

Bill was born at home near Canora, Sask. on Sept 21, 1932.

He was predeceased by his parents, Nickolas and Sandy and his wife, Martha.

Bill leaves behind his sister, Jean Kissick of Edmonton, his Daughter, Dianne {Mike} Golinski of Salmon Arm, BC, his granddaughters Marcia and Melissa {Karl}, many nieces and one nephew, as well as his special friends Joan and Angela and so many other very good friends.

Bill was passionate about his accordions and at the time of his passing owned more than 135.

He played them, repaired them, collected them, displayed them and just would talk to anyone about them. He knew the story and worth of each one. Of course to keep up with this hobby he did have to go to the casino in Kamloops on Saturdays.

He was a good person who hated conďŹ&#x201A;ict and would just walk away. He spoke with his sister every morning at 6:30 am and often in the afternoon. The discussions were many and varied.

Bill was capable of repairing nearly anything that was broken and was always helping people out.

The memorial service was held for Bill at Chumâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s in Cache Creek on Sat, July 21, 2012, 3:00 p.m. where he spent so much time visiting, drinking coffee, ďŹ xing stuff and just being Bill to everyone.

Fischerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Funeral Services of Salmon Arm and Thompson Valley funeral home of Ashcroft handled the arrangements and cremation. Donations to the heart and stroke fund would be appreciated as both Bill and Martha passed away from stroke or cardiac problems.

SALMON ARM

A beautiful bouquet of colour!

If you like roses, this is the garden for you, This formal rose garden contains hundreds of roses. Hybrid tea, Floirbundas, Antique and English roses make up the majority of the plantings, but not to be forgotten are the incredible beds that surround the home and make for so many oohs and awws.

The metal arbor is one of the many beds that draw you in.

Borders consist of boxwoods, with an astonishing amount of varied flowering plants.

Hosta, various colours of Astilibe, petunias, begonias, fuschias, pansies, phlox, columbine, iris, bleeding hearts, bell flowers, day lilies and the list goes on.

This large garden is a lot of work, but the reward of the heavenly scents must make it more than worthwhile. This is definitely a rose lover’s paradise!

— By Sherry & Laura, Salmon Arm Observer

Do you know someone whose garden goes D above and beyond? Do you think your garden is a cut above? Don’t be shy! Let us know the owner’s name, address and phone number!

The garden does not have to be huge or elaborate. It could be on a balcony or a front yard or whatever space you have, as long as it is unique.
