Owner calls foul on liquor plans Business: Private operators protest B.C. government’s move to sell cold beer and wine.

By Barb Brouwer obServer STAFF

The Hideaway liquor Store owner is wondering why the province doesn’t have to live up to its own regulations. Gord erickson is protesting the move by the provincial liquor store from current quarters in the Shuswap Mall to a much more visible site on the Trans-canada Highway at centenoka Park Mall and the addition of cold beer and wine sales to its operations. According to provincial legislation, private liquor store owners may not locate

within one kilometre of another. The province says the relocation of Salmon Arm’s government liquor store is based on the opportunity to best suit the needs of its customers and meet their business objectives. While it might benefit provincial liquor store customers, erickson says it can have a severe impact on private operators. erickson expressed his concern in a Feb. 20 letter to then MlA George Abbott and Minister of energy and Mines rich coleman, who also has responsibility for the liquor control and licensing branch.

This week The SilverBacks look to trim their roster after three preseason games. See A21. Haney Heritage Park will be the site of the popular Burger, Beer and a Bard program. See A23.

The bc liquor distribution response dated March 19, advised erickson that the Salmon Arm liquor Store is relocating in response to a changing business environment and, as part of a chain that is a primary contributor to government revenue, it must be operated under best management decisions including renewal of facilities. The new provincial liquor location cuts the distance between it and the Hideaway liquor Store from 1,1019 metres to 521 metres. “The government has rules that they don’t have to abide by and they can basi-

cally put somebody out of business,” erickson says. but an Aug. 26 email statement from the liquor distribution branch takes issue with erickson’s contention. “The one-kilometre rule is a liquor control and licensing branch regulation that was enacted in response to requests from the industry association that represents many licensee retail stores, the Alliance of beverage licensees of bc (Able), however, there was no request to place it See BCLs responds on page A2

BCLS responds to market demand distribution system, Erickson invested in a wide variety of alcoholic beverages and associated merchandise for his operation. When the government reversed their decision, something Erickson attributes to union pressure at election time, he says they promised to maintain basic stores only and allow private stores to compete with coolers to provide cold wine and spirits and specialty items. “Last term, they said we’re not shutting down, but we’re not opening new stores… this term they’re opening new stores in all different markets,” he says. And he has reason to be concerned. An Aug. 26 Ministry of Justice press release indicates the govern-

Continued from front on BC Liquor Stores,” reads the statement. “It applies specifically to licensee retail stores (private liquor stores) and does not apply to BC Liquor Stores or private liquor retailers such as wine and VQA stores. It means that licensee retail stores have the ability to locate within one kilometre of a BCLS, and in fact, some have chosen to do so over the years.” Miles apart or next door, Erickson also has issues with what, he says, appears to be an attempt by the province to up-scale their operations. In 2003, when the province announced they were privatizing B.C. liquor stores and maintaining only the

ment is installing walkin beer and wine refrigeration units in Salmon Arm and two other locations, and is seeking feedback from the public in their current liquor policy review. “Refrigeration units seem to be very popular with customers, but the public and industry will now have the opportunity to give us feedback on whether this is something they would like to see on a larger scale around the province,” says John Yap, parliamentary secretary for the liquor policy review. But Salmon Arm Mayor Nancy Cooper points out that private liquor store owners also contribute through taxation. She says she wishes Erickson had approached council sooner and that the city did

not pursue the matter following the provincial response in March because it became evident Dixons was moving to the Shuswap Mall location being vacated by the provincial liquor store. “The only way council might look at it again would be if there was pressure from the community, but it is kind of late in the day,” she says. “I certainly can understand where he’s (Erickson) coming from. We try to support business where we can – really, it’s small business that runs the country so we really try to respond.” Erickson says Shuswap MLA Greg Kyllo also offered him support, telling him he

would see what he could do. Erickson says he finds it interesting that a supposedly businessfriendly government whose job is to “govern and deal with safety issues and regulations” is, in this case, coming in to compete with small business. “We’re still in business and we’re still happy, but we’re fighting for our life a bit,” he says, noting only two Salmon Arm liquor stores are owned locally so he hopes the community will support the shop-local notion. “I know we’re still doing a great job 9 a.m. to 11 p.m. 365 days of the year.”

Every Last Friday Buying Local: How it boosts the economy

LachLan Labere/ObSERVER

Land use: While much of the land in the Shuswap is used for

agricultural purposes, community representation is lacking for the Shuswap Agriculture Strategy.

food security and the sustainable growth of agriculture in the region. The strategy will apply to Electoral Areas C through F (South Shuswap, Falkland-Salmon Valley, Sicamous-Malakwa and North Shuswap-Seymour Arm), as well as the City of Salmon Arm and the District of Sicamous, which are municipal partners through their respective representative economic development bodies. “Some of the communities will have official community plans. What this document will do is take that one step further and it will give us a really clear idea of where we want to go with agriculture into the fu-

soils that are very good for agriculture, then maybe we could look at shifting,” said Cyr, speaking hypothetically about where the strategy is going. “It will be sort of a guide, a checklist. Are you sure this land can’t be used for this or whatever? “I think that’s our purpose, to ensure what we have for agricultural land, stays as agricultural land.” Those unable to attend the Sept. 9 meeting are still encouraged to provide input. The website, www. growshuswap.com, has been set up for this. Cyr says they are trying to make sure every sector in every community is represented.

“Buy Local”—you see the decal in the store window, the sign at the farmer’s market. The apparent message is “let’s-support-localbusiness”, a kind of community boosterism. But buying close to home may be more than a feelgood, it’s-worth-payingmore-for-local matter. A number of researchers and organizations are taking a closer look at how money flows, and what they’re finding shows the profound economic impact of keeping money in town—and how the fate of many communities around the nation and the world increasingly depend on it. At the most basic level, when you buy local more money stays in the community. The New Economics Foundation, an independent economic think tank based in London, compared what happens when people buy produce at a supermarket vs. a local farmer’s market or community supported agriculture (CSA) program and found that twice the money stayed in the community when folks bought locally. “That means those purchases are twice as efficient in terms of keeping the local economy alive,” says author and NEF researcher David Boyle. (See the top 10 food trends of 2008.) Indeed, says Boyle, many local economies are languishing not because too little cash comes in, but as a result of what happens to that money. “Money is like blood.

It needs to keep moving around to keep the economy going,” he says, noting that when money is spent elsewhere—at big supermarkets, nonlocally owned utilities and other services such as on-line retailers—”it flows out, like a wound.” By shopping at the corner store instead of the big box, consumers keep their communities from becoming what the NEF calls “ghost towns” (areas devoid of neighborhood shops and services) or “clone towns”, where Main Street now looks like every other Main Street with the same fast-food and retail chains. According to Susan Witt, Executive Director of the E.F. Schumacher Society, “buy local” campaigns serve another

function: alerting a community about gaps in the local market. For instance, if consumers keep turning to on-line or big-box stores for a particular product—say, socks—this signals an opportunity for someone local to make and sell socks. This is the way product innovations get made, says Witt. “The local producer adds creative elements that make either the product or materials used more appropriate to the place.” For example, an area where sheep are raised might make lambs wool socks and other goods. The point is not that communities should suddenly seek to be selfsufficient in all ways, but rather, says Boyle, “to shift the balance. Can you produce more

locally? Of course you can if the raw materials are there, and the raw materials are often human beings.” And what about that higher cost of local goods? After all, bigbox stores got to be big because their prices are low. Susan Witt says that the difference falls away once you consider the increase in local employment as well as the relationships that grow when people buy from people they know. (Plus, one could argue, lower transportation, and therefore environmental, costs, and you know what you’re getting— which as we’ve recently seen with suspected contamination in toys and other products from China, can be a concern.)

Kyllo tops in election outlay By Tracy Hughes OBSERVER STAFF

JaMes Murray/OBSERVER

Making the leap

Tahvo Simonson leaps into the water from an old pylon near the boat launch at Canoe Beach on Shuswap Lake.

BC Liberal Greg Kyllo spent more on his election campaign than Premier Christy Clark — if you only count her first campaign for Vancouver Point Grey. Kyllo spent a total of $113,280 on his successful effort to become MLA for the Shuswap according to documents released by Elections BC. Premier Christy Clark spent a total of $108,765 on her unsuccessful bid for the riding of VancouverPoint Grey. Election spending for the candidates in the Shuswap also mirrored the eventual results. The more a candidate spent on the campaign, the better their ranking in the polls. The NDP’s Steve Gunner spent a total of $36,495 on the campaign, BC Conservative Tom Birch spent $12,892, BC Green Party’s Chris George spent $9,354 and Johanna Zalcik of the Advocational Party spent $1,096. To fund his campaign, Kyllo had $34,734 contributed from all sources and $82,763 transferred directly from the BC Liberal Party. Gunner had a total of $4,800 in contributions, while $32,668 was transferred to his campaign from the BC NDP and the Shuswap BC NDP Constituency Association. BC Conservative Tom Birch received contributions of $6,985 from the BC Conservative Party and the BC Conservative Party Shuswap Association, while he self-funded $4,290 and had donations for the remainder. George also self-funded a significant portion of his campaign at $3,022. The remainder was funded through donations or local fundraisers. Zalcik’s spending was all self-funded.

City council approves changes to transit system By Lachlan Labere OBSERVER STAFF

Changes planned for public transit in Salmon Arm will benefit shoppers while reducing service to an existing route. At their regular meeting Monday, councillors reviewed a staff report for expanding the Shuswap Regional Transit System within the municipality. Staff’s report revolves around a revised transit service review

by BC Transit, prompted in part by interest in expanding service to Farmcrest Foods and the SmartCentres site west of town, as well as the Uptown Askew’s. From the completed review, staff recommended that council approve what was referred to as Option 1, which would have left existing routes relatively unchanged while adding additional trip time on three routes. However, the $115,000 annual cost associated

with this option, which would have required a 0.8 per cent tax increase, did not sit well with council. “I don’t like to approve budget requests outside of the budget process, because then you get to the budget process you’re already behind one or two per cent on top of everything else that you can’t change,” commented Coun. Alan Harrison. Only Coun. Debbie Cannon championed the recommended op-

Debbie Cannon CounCillor tion, based on her work with the city’s social issues committee. The rest of council was on-side with Harrison,

who favoured Option 4, a less expensive option that would result in a reduction of service along the Foothill Road loop, but could add a “shoppers shuttle” that would add 11 trips on weekdays and 10 on Saturdays. Harrison said this option would cost the city about $6,700. Coun. Ken Jamieson agreed this option represented better bang for the buck. “There seems to be a focus on getting people

to the places where they shop, and while that is an important consideration for our transit system, I don’t think it needs to be the driving force…,” said Jamieson. “I think with Option 4, we will get the shuttle that will make sure people get to the main shopping areas in town for dramatically less money.” Corporate service director and acting administrator Monica Dalziel noted that for Option 4, the city

would need buy-in from the Adams Lake Indian Band. “That’s who would be paying for that piece so we’d have to have their approval, if they’d want to pay that extra $1,700,” said Dalziel. The changes are expected to go into effect on Dec. 2, and Cannon said she wanted a report from BC Transit after six months to see what is and isn’t working and what kind of ridership numbers the city is getting.

OpiniOn

for what it’S worth

Tracy Hughes

Running with purpose I hate running. I guess my first statement isn’t really accurate anymore. I used to hate running. I used to look at people jogging while I past them in my car and think, “those people are crazy.” I recall the forced runs of Grade 8 P.E. class with the over -zealous Mrs. Smart screaming at us through her megaphone to “Push it, girls.” I also distinctly remember thinking the only thing I wanted to push was Mrs. Smart’s face – into the pavement. But for a host of personal reasons, not the least of which was that I was straining to button up my favourite jeans, I have taken up running. With a busy schedule and a limited budget, running is a cheap way to burn calories on my own time. And as I have slowly progressed, the pain of burning lungs and aching legs has adjusted. I find I can push a little bit farther or faster and with that comes a real sense of accomplishment. I wouldn’t say, I now love running. But I can say that I no longer hate it. Running and I now have a relationship, but its a complicated one. It’s something that’s been mostly private and solitary, with no competition with others, no logging of kilometres or calculating fastest times. There’s been no “official” runs on my slate, just me, my dog and a trail or the neighbourhood sidewalks. But as much as I’ve hated running in the past, I hate cancer more. This year, I’ve had two friends diagnosed with the disease, lost a former colleague and know two local children who are now cancer survivors, thanks to excellent medical treatments. So I’ve decided it’s time to take the plunge and put some leg power into a public event that I have often supported through cash donations, but not through putting track shoe to pavement. So on Sept. 15, you will find me, along with my trusty running companion, Willow the Wonder Spaniel, attempting the fourkilometre distance of the Terry Fox Run. The event starts at Blackburn Park with registration beginning at 8:30 a.m. The run starts at 10 and there are distances suitable for all fitness levels including the 10 km, four km, two km. And while I hope to run the middle distance, walking is totally OK. The routes are suitable for bikes, wheelchairs/strollers and rollerblades. And dogs on leash are welcome. This is an event for everyone, but if you can’t make it yourself, consider helping my fundraising efforts. Donating is easy. You can pledge me online through the secure webpage at www.terryfox.org/donate and hit “donate to a participant,” which will direct you to find my personal donor page. Tax receipts will be emailed. Or you can contribute by coming into the Observer office at 171 Shuswap Street with cash or cheque in hand and fill out the pledge form. This cause is important, Terry Fox’s legacy is still in need of support. I am sure there is not a person in Salmon Arm who has not been affected by this disease in some way, so please contribute what you can. It will help me keep putting one foot in front of the other. Even if I’m not necessarily loving it.

Editorial

Confession matters little to Canadians It’s difficult to determine what’s more tragic: Justin Trudeau’s great pot reveal, or the moral high ground the prime minister and his fellow Cons have taken in response. By now, everyone in the nation who cares (and many who don’t) will have heard or read about the Liberal leader’s almost trite confession, how on the rare occasion over his 41 years, he’s smoked marijuana. Of course, this revelation from the Liberal’s prospective prime minister, who has already expressed a desire to shake up the nation’s arguably excessive drug laws (as have Canada’s Association of Chiefs of Police), became immediate fodder for the Conservatives. Justice Minister Peter MacKay says Trudeau has shown a “profound lack of judgement,” something

MacKay is all too familiar with, given his own high-flying history as the nation’s defence minister, when he had no qualms about travelling executive class by air to a football game, or having a military helicopter to give him a lift from a fishing resort, all on the public dime. As for Prime Minister Stephen Harper’s response, that Trudeau’s “actions speak for themselves,” wow, talk about a case of the pot and the kettle. But as with MacKay, Harper speaks with authority, having established his own substantial list of outspoken actions which have done more to anger and alienate the nation than unite it. MacKay wasn’t entirely off the mark: Trudeau’s supposedly calculated confessional has predictably titillated public interest, leaving the nation’s more pressing issues in a cloud of second-hand smoke.

Paul Wilcocks Heartbreaking photo in La Prensa this week of devastated campesinos who had showed up in Santa Rosa de Copan expecting to start a trip that would end with legit Canadian jobs. The best way to change your future in Honduras is to find a way to work in North America for a few years. You can send money home and save enough to buy some land or start a little business. (The second fastest way to change your future, I suppose, is the drug transport business.) But when the would-be migrant workers showed up to board the buses that were to take them to the Tegucigalpa airport, they found out they had been ripped off. There were no buses, no waiting jobs picking apples and grapes. The office was empty. The scam was elaborate. Radio stations ran ads about the job program, including here in Copan Ruinas. (I didn’t hear them.) The crooks had a good story about having already placed 19,000 workers. They had an office, and answered any queries or calls. They gave official receipts and itineraries. (And most of the victims were illiterate, or barely literate, and had no way to check the legitimacy.) Some 800 people paid about

$500 each to get access to Canada. That’s a huge amount. Not only are their dreams shattered, but their lives in Honduras have been dealt a huge blow. José Antonio Arita, a farmer in Corquín, a remote village in the hills, told La Prensa he rushed to the job office in Santa Rosa when he heard about the opportunity. He sold his chain saw to help cover the cost. No saw means no income from selling firewood. Jose Antonio Ramirez and his brother Hugo René both lost all their savings. The fact the offer was on the radio and the nice, fully staffed office convinced them the opportunity was real. Until they showed up, with small backpacks of clothes and keepsakes, and found there were no buses and the office was locked up. There are lots of arguments about temporary foreign workers in Canada, some legitimate, some not. About 1,200 Hondurans are currently in the country as temporary workers, doing jobs in meat packing plants and the like. But the story is a good reminder of how desperate Hondurans are for better lives, and how easily Canada could help simply by giving them a chance to work for a couple of years.

I was sad to hear of the passing of the former mayor, Don Rogers, whose council was elected in 1990 for a three-year term. The many accomplishments of this council were most impressive, stemming from a cohesive group of councillors who were determined to make a difference. The inauguration of the transit system was high on the list, particularly since the region was populated by an increasingly senior demographic. On the financial side the demands of upgrading of the aging infrastructure was increasingly expensive and, if spread over the whole urban area, would be prohibitive. The idea of limiting development to the al-

ready serviced part of the town was deemed to be of paramount importance in keeping tax levels at a reasonable level. In planning areas, the community plan was revised with much higher provisions for parks, green space, trails and sensitive areas. The plan eventually proved to be one of the most environmentally aware in the whole province and served as a template for other communities. In another enlightened initiative, Alderman Dorothy Argent and Dr. Mary Thomas dreamed up the idea of restoring the much-eroded banks of the Salmon River. Mayor Don and his council adopted the idea and the roundtable was established,

perhaps the first such group in the province. Over the intervening years an estimated 60 per cent of the banks have been improved. Although a previous council had allowed building on the wetlands north of the railway tracks, council’s concern about the development eventually resulted in additional acreage being added to the wildlife sanctuary and a reduction from 120 homes to the present twelve. It is hard to exaggerate his influence in those early 1990s when so many improvements to our community took place, many through the far sightedness of Don and his council. Tom Brighouse

Politicians should look at facts, not hype With the upcoming UBCM AGM it has come to my attention that there is a resolution calling for the banning of all GMO crops from B.C. Before supporting this, I would like to bring some things to your attention: • GMO crops such as corn, canola and soybean have been through a rigorous Health Canada food safety process that ensures the nutritional makeup is equal to the original plants. Health Canada also collaborates with CFIA for environmental safety, ensuring the new plant is not at risk of becoming a plant pest, that new traits cannot be transferred to other plants, and to assess their potential impact on biodiversity. The

trials and scrutiny of these crops was extended over a 10-15 year period. • GMO crops have been grown in Canada for the past 15 years. Their acceptance by the farming community is widespread. Examples are canola at 19 million acres; corn for grain at 1.5 million acres. It is common knowledge that 90 per cent of canola, 80 per cent of corn are considered GMO because they contain a gene that makes them resistant to a herbicide called glyphosate, allowing for single spray weed control. Corn for silage and foundation canola seed are common crops in the Shuswap. • Conventional agriculture has co-existed with organic agriculture. I see no reason why the two types

of farming can not continue side-byside. • Because these crops are federally registered, licensed and approved, a regional or provincial ban would be ineffective, impossible to administrate and would put farmers currently growing these crops at a disadvantage with other regions. It is my sincere hope that the councillors attending UBCM will research and speak with farmers about the benefits and cautions of growing GMO crops. It’s important to give serious consideration to the fact that this resolution is a direct threat to the stability of our provincial agricultural economy. Lorne Hunter

Like father, like son when it comes to apologies Justin Trudeau gained knowledge from his father, Pierre Trudeau and is making no apologies to the Canadian citizens for smoking pot. Please correct me if I’m wrong but I don’t believe I ever heard apologies from Pierre Trudeau for his actions either, which included the constant

efforts to equalize incomes across the country as part of his calls for a “Just Society.” This included experiments on wage and price controls, nationalizing industrial sectors, and redistributing wealth from one part of the country to another. Pierre also expanded social welfare and unem-

ployment insurance. The result was higher unemployment, more national debt and alienation of the West and official bilingualism, a failed costly policy for all governments and business. Ken Kellington

Smoke detectors available for free NOW HIRING their seemingly “carefree” status may result in neglected maintenance and use beyond the functioning lifespan. “A co-ordinated, sustained and multi-faceted approach, consisting of education, enforcement and changes to the environment, is required to ensure every Canadian home has a working smoke alarm,” Shirley says.

By Barb Brouwer OBSERVER STAFF

Salmon Arm Fire Chief Brad Shirley tags all his emails with one of his favourite phrases – “smoke alarms – a sound you can live with.” This is one of the tags the Fire Chiefs Association of B.C. came up with to remind people how crucial smoke alarms can be in saving lives. B.C.’s Office of the Fire Commissioner and the Fire Chiefs’ Association of BC, with assistance from the Surrey Fire Service and other champions, are spearheading a local, provincial and national movement to achieve this goal. To protect every household, Tina Cosman from the Shuswap Zone of Realtors was recently in town to donate $500 worth of smoke alarms to the Salmon Arm Fire Department’s smoke alarm campaign. Anyone in need of a smoke alarm can contact the fire department administration office at 250-803-4060. A study of almost 50,000 fires in Alberta, British Columbia and Ontario from October 2006 to 2011 revealed alarming statistics. The death rate per

Protection: Tina Cosman passes Fire Prevention Officer Jim Nickles a new smoke detector purchased with a donation from the Shuswap Zone of Realtors. 1,000 fires was 74 per cent greater when a working smoke alarm was not present. There was a greater risk of fatality from residential structure fires for households with at least one young child, older adult, or person with disability; rental units; and households in low-income areas, rural communities and First Nations reserves. Fire damage was reduced by 19 per cent when a working smoke alarm was present. Since mid-2010, the B.C. Fire Code has required that all homes, hotel and motel rooms have a working smoke alarm (battery-operated

or hard-wired). But, this is not systematically enforced on residential properties, says Shirley. “Smoke alarm function is another challenge,” he says. Models with removable batteries can be

easily disabled during cooking, and also require the occupant to be diligent about replacing batteries at regular intervals. While this problem is addressed by hardwired and long-life lithium battery models,

Fund set up to help family who lost home to fire By Barb Brouwer OBSERVER STAFF

A single mother needs help for herself and her children, following a July 1 fire that destroyed the family’s Gleneden home. While Nanci Penkhert has acquired some basic necessities such as beds and a table, she needs help acquiring other items. “She needs kitchen items such as food, pots and pans, spices, that sort of stuff that costs so much money,” says friend Beth Mack, who has set up the Nanci Penkhert Fund as the Salmon Arm Savings and Credit Union. “And her son is going back to college and all his stuff got de-

stroyed in the fire.” Mack says anyone wishing to donate cash, may do so at the Salmon Arm branch of the credit union where all the tellers are aware of the fund.

Mack says she believes Penkhert was insured, but is having issues with the insurance company. In the meantime, staff at Rona have raised some funds and had donations of furni-

ture and clothes. “But they are still in need and having a difficult time,” Mack says, noting that anyone with donations of items other than cash can call her at Rona

at 250-832-7044, or send her an email at store133@rona.ca, attention Beth Mack. The fire, which was reported at 9 p.m. Monday, July 1 when the family was away

from the home, totally destroyed the building. An investigation by Salmon Arm Fire Department staff followed and the fire was deemed to be suspicious and was turned

over to the RCMP who continue to investigate the matter.

Campfire ban lifted in region Light ‘em up folks. Campfires are once again permitted in the Salmon Arm Fire Zone. The Kamloops fire Centre rescinded the ban at noon Monday, after heavy rains on the weekend reduced the wildfire risk in the area. But those who choose to light campfires must follow provincial regulations. These include: • The campfire must not exceed the permitted half-metre wide by a half-metre high. • Flammable material (such a twigs and pine needles) must be removed from around the campfire area and this fuel-free area must be maintained while the campfire is burning. • A shovel or at least eight litres of water must be on-site to properly extinguish the fire. • Never leave a campfire unattended. • The ashes must be cool to the touch before you leave the area. Category 2 and 3 open fires remain prohibited for the entire Kamloops Fire Centre. This prohibition includes all open fires larger than a half-metre high by a half-metre wide and fireworks.

Players battle for final slots With three exhibition games already behind them, the Salmon Arm SilverBacks have been one of the busiest teams in the BCHL preseason and head coach Troy Mick wouldn’t have it any other way. Mick, back behind the bench after moving exclusively to the front office last season, prefers to make roster decisions based on game action. After a 2-1 loss to the Merritt Centennials last Thursday, a 5-1 home win over the Vernon Vipers Friday and a 7-5 loss to Vernon Saturday, he’s been able to pare the roster down to 28. That means six more cuts are needed to reach the mandated 22 for the start of the season. “I’m not one that likes to have 45 kids hanging around when they may have other options within the league,” said Mick. “When you play games right away, that will cement the roster. We’re putting a lot of heat on our veterans; we’ve got to make some tough decisions pretty quick.” In evaluating the new faces, Mick opted not to dress many of his returners in the three exhibition games. Forwards Evan Anderson, Alex Gillies, along with defenceman Brett Fagerheim and Mitchell Ferguson have yet to play. Also, Riley Hunt and Brendan Kennedy will be on the long-

rivals: SilverBack Sam Wolfe helps goalie Angus Redmond clear the puck during the team’s 5-1 win over the Vernon Vipers Friday evening. term injured list to begin the season and won’t count towards the 22-man roster. Mick was pleased with a good showing for the home fans in the 5-1 triumph over the rival Vipers but overall, he isn’t concerned with exhibition results. “For the coaches, it’s not about wins and losses in the preseason but about making decisions based on those games,” he said. “We had a different lineup in the first game to the second game and again in the third. Last I checked, they don’t hand out

any awards in the preseason.” One element that has proven cohesive so far is the coaching staff, which welcomed former RBC Cup champion and Vernon Vipers captain Kevin Kraus along with former NHLer Eric Godard to join associate coach Brandon West. “We all bring something different,” noted Mick. “Last year, I had to make the tough decision to step back and get the program turned around and lo and behold we made the playoffs. It’s a 180 compared to last year; we’re bigger, faster, more skilled than this

time last year. Off the ice, Mick’s focus is not as divided as last year. “I couldn’t ask for a better setup than what we have right now. Now, it’s a matter of getting the fans back and we’re prepared to work hard to do that.” The ’Backs host the Penticton Vees Friday at 7 p.m. and then visit the Vees Saturday. They start the regular season at the Bauer BCHL Showcase Sept. 7 in Chilliwack versus Victoria. Their home opener is Friday, Sept. 13 against Vernon.

Tribute artist sings his way up in international competition By Barb Brouwer OBSERVER STAFF

His heart is as big as his talent. Adam Fitzpatrick may be the Number 2 Elvis tribute artist in the world but he has no intention of forgetting his roots. Winner of the Penticton Elvis Festival, Fitzpatrick recently competed in the Ultimate Elvis Tribute Artist Contest, moving up to second place from his top-15 placement last year. “It was quite a feeling, a little shocking,” he says. “I wasn’t expecting it but my name just kept getting called, a pretty incredible feeling.” Only his second time competing in the international contest, Fitzpatrick’s courage was bolstered by the presence of his mom and dad, his girlfriend, Sandy, and her parents and three loyal fans from Kelowna. “It was incredible to have that support and to make it to the top 10 – even that was great,” he says, noting that once he exceeded that

goal, he simply relaxed and enjoyed the experience. “I did The Wonder of You. My fans know how special it is to me and I played it out to Sandy, she’s in the family part.” Fitzpatrick made some important connections including Legends of Rock & Roll. Conceived by a Vancouver producer for Expo ‘86, the format became the international standard for celebrity impersonator and tribute shows. “We talked and I am hoping to do some work with them,” says Fitzpatrick, noting he has hired a good friend with good connections as his new agent/manager and plans to honour commitments he as already made. “I don’t want to move too fast, everything I do has to work with my life. I know I will always do little shows.” Fitzpatrick, who began impersonating Elvis in 2008, says he feels blessed to be able to do what he loves to do and is looking forward to performing at

Dancers hone skills in California By Barb Brouwer OBSERVER STAFF

CLASS ACTION

Five keen young dancers upped their moves at the University of California, Irvine this summer. Shuswap Dance Center students, Maia Reynard, 13, Katie Cullen, 12, Brooke Richardson, 15, Sidney Pullin, 14, and Sheahan Wonacott, 13 attended the university’s Claire Trevor School of the Arts with an eye to the future. “They wanted to see what it’s like for kids and the options they would have if they want to pursue dance beyond high school,” says Carolyn Wonacott ballet teacher and owner of the dance center. “They danced from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. everyday for two weeks, with some phenomenal teachers.” The program is designed for students ages 12 to 19 at the beginner, intermediate and advanced skill levels and provides a sample of the undergraduate program the school offers.

“The kids didn’t want to come home,” laughs Wonacott. “As a mom and dance teacher, I thought they’d want to come home after two weeks, but they didn’t. They loved it.” Next year, Wonacott plans to take some of her students to the world-famous Alvin Ailey American Dance Theatre in New York City for two weeks. In the meantime, Wonacott and her teachers open a new season at the Shuswap Dance Center Sept. 9, offering lessons in ballet, jazz, lyrical, contemporary, hip hop, tap, musical theatre and ballroom – for students from ages three to adult. For the three-yearolds, creative dance is the order of the day, in something Wonacott describes as “a fun entry into dance, focusing on co-ordination and musicality.” Wonacott teaches ballet to all age groups.

Obituaries

JOY JOHNSTON May 24, 1926 - August 19, 2013 It is with great sadness we announce the passing of our mother, Joy Johnston on August 19, 2013 at Bastion Place in Salmon Arm, B.C. after a sudden illness. Joy is survived by her five sons David, Lorne, Kent, Ewen (Sandy), Chris (Darcy); seven grandchildren (David) Lindsey, Mark, Troy, (Chris) Chelsey, Denton, (Ewen) Taylor, Angela; three great-grandchildren (David) Ethan, Marcus and (Chris) Kyran. She was predeceased by her husband Lloyd (2011), her parents Dan and Irene MacLeod, and her three younger siblings Scott and Donald MacLeod and Janie Perger. Joy was born in Summerside, Prince Edward Island and grew up in Stanley Bridge on the north central coast of P.E.I. Like many families of this time, there were struggles but Mom always valued her education and earned her teaching certificate in 1943. She began teaching in a one-room school house for grades 1 to 10 at the age of 17. She did this for several years until deciding to enroll in the registered nursing program at Charlottetown hospital. Graduating in 1950, she worked at the hospital there for three years. Always with a sense of adventure, at one point she planned to move to Bermuda with some nursing friends where they had job offers until she was asked to be a Ward Supervisor in Charlottetown. A couple of years later, Mom and a nursing friend did make the big move to the opposite side of the country to work in Pentiction, B.C. It was there that she met her husband Lloyd who was stationed there with the R.C.M.P. and became a patient of Mom’s. They were married in 1954. Five boys came in quick succession along with numerous R.C.M.P transfers including Stewart, Chilliwack, Courtenay, Salmon Arm and Revelstoke. Many lifelong friends were met in her travels. Mom was actively involved in her kid’s lives and spent much of her time driving us to our sports events and other activities. With their desire to return to Salmon Arm, Lloyd retired from the R.C.M.P. in 1971 and became the Personnel Manager at Federated Co-op. As her kids got older, Joy returned to some substitute teaching but mostly nursing which she loved. Eventually returning to full-time, it was said they had to “drag her out kicking and screaming” at her forced retirement in 1991. She was soon back at the hospital in 1996 when she helped organize the Hospital Greeters. She actively worked as a Greeter and helped coordinate this group until her illness. Mom remained involved with many activities including the “Trekkers” walking group, dragon boating, Women’s Hospital Auxiliary, exercise groups and bridge clubs. Her active and healthy lifestyle made many people believe that she was at least 10 years younger. While particular about her appearance, what she valued most was the social interaction associated with her activities. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to the “Lloyd and Joy Johnston Family Endowment” at the Shuswap Community Foundation (www. shuswapfoundation.ca), the Shuswap Hospital Foundation (www.shuswaphospitalfoundation.org) or a charity of your choice. A Celebration of Life Service for Joy will be held at the First United Church, Salmon Arm, B.C. on Tuesday, Sept. 3, 2013 at 1:00 p.m. A reception will follow in the Church hall. Online condolences can be sent through Joy’s obituary at www.bowersfuneralservice.com
