Riding on the edge

Smoke emanating from fires throughout the province and Washington State have prompted Environment Canada to issue a “smoky skies advisory” for most of the B.C. Interior, including the Shuswap.

“Take your pick,” offered fire protection officer Larry Osachoff, when asked Wednesday where the smoke is coming from. “Basically it’s attributed to all the forest fires in B.C. and it’s intensifying more and more as the high pressure system does not allow it to disburse.”

There was concern that cooler weather due to arrive late Wednesday evening could arrive in the form of thunderstorms with the possibility of lightning from Clearwater down through Salmon Arm. “That’s a big heads up as they’re usually packing unpredictable winds and escalating fire behaviour up to 200 times,” he said. “For us, if it’s packing lightning, we’ll be on the safeguards.”

Osachoff said another weather change was expected late Friday to Saturday, bringing rain in some areas, showers for others and cloudy, cooler conditions to remain through the weekend.

Tinder-dry conditions and extremely aggressive wildfire behaviour has resulted in a prohibition of campfires in the entire Kamloops Fire Centre.

The ban, which went into effect July 16 at noon, includes the Salmon Arm Fire Zone that covers the entire Shuswap area, where the fire danger rating is currently high, with pockets of extreme.

n Café Tasse customers carry on with their lunch conversation, seemingly unconcerned as Salmon Arm Fire Chief Brad Shirley (second firefighter from left) confers with his crew Wednesday afternoon at the front of the Prestige Harbourfront Resort. The hotel was evacuated as firefighters investigated a report of a fire, which wound up being a mechanical issue.

Care to Share

Officials urge caution if using machinery caused wildfires and protect public safety,” reads a Kamloops Fire Centre bulletin. “With the current trend of warm and dry weather, wildfires in the region have displayed very aggressive behaviour and required additional fire suppression resources.”

In the good-news department, Osachoff said Monday that patrols found no abandoned campfires in the Salmon Arm zone last weekend.

“It was a very good weekend for patrols – everyone is paying attention regarding the size of their campfires,” he said. “We had no unusual events.”

The zone also lucked out Monday night when thunderstorms tracked through Hope and Merritt instead of the Shuswap, igniting several wildfires in those areas.

Officials warn that caution is also required when using machinery. A fire was discovered

Monday afternoon in a logging cutblock in the Owlhead Drainage above Sicamous.

Fire crews were assisted by the operator, who had already shut down operations.

“All the equipment was onsite and he sent operators back up there to put a cat guard around the fire,” Osachoff said, noting the fire was about half-ahectare in size.

“We’re not exactly sure about the cause, but it’s definitely through their operations.”

While temperatures were high last weekend, Environment Canada meteorologist Allan Coldwells said no records were broken.

Salmon Arm’s automatic station read 35C, not far off the 35.2C recorded in 2012. But the station has only been in place for 23 years.

“The worst-case scenario was 37.8C from 1930,” Coldwells said. “I’m not exactly sure where it was. It says Salmon Arm. It was likely on someone’s farm.”

Environment Canada predicts temperatures will be higher than normal right through to the end of September.

With current conditions and this prediction in mind, Kamloops Fire Centre’s Kayla Pepper says it is crucial that people keep their eyes open and report any smoke or fires to 1-800663-5555, or *5555 on their cell phones.

New this year, the Wildfire Management Branch has set up a phone line to allow people to report a violation of the campfire ban within the Kamloops Fire Centre. Call 1-844 NROTIPS (1-844-676-8477) or fill out the reporting form at www. for.gov.bc.ca/hen/nrv.

Anyone found in violation of an open fire ban, including campfires and burn barrels may be issued a ticket for up to $345.

Anyone who causes a wildfire through arson or recklessness may be fined up to $1 million, spend up to three years in prison and be held accountable for associated firefighting costs.

City purchases Jackson land

Marla Beblow DENTURIST LTD.

Public use: Options for site include arts centre, indoor sports arena.

By Barb Brouwer

MARKET NEWS STAFF

A $1.5 million deal will keep five acres of the former JL Jackson school site in public hands.

The City of Salmon Arm has purchased the property from North Okanagan-Shuswap School District #83 in a process that has been ongoing over several months, says Mayor Nancy Cooper.

The purchase agreement was passed unanimously in an in-camera session following Monday’s council meeting, says Cooper, noting the deal was sealed with board chair Bobbi Johnson signing the agreement late Monday afternoon.

“It’s pretty exciting, we’ve been working on it for months,” said Cooper. “Both council and the school district were supportive, but it went back and forth a few times.”

The property known as Lot 3 is immediately west of the Downtown Activity Centre (Lot 2) and site of the new School District Admin-

istration and Education Support Centre (Lot 1) and bounded by Fifth Avenue SW and Third Street SW. “The agreement reached will see the city pay some of the property’s value in cash and the rest in services to upgrade the remainder of the former JL Jackson property frontage to the city centre standard, which is almost a $1 million investment in downtown revitalization,” reads the July 14 news release. “The offsite servicing work will be completed on Lots 1 and 2 and 4 and will include improvements such as sidewalks, trees, lighting, utilities, etc., which will enhance this important area of the city centre.”

Cooper says some of the $500,000 in the cash portion will come from the city’s gas tax fund, and the remainder of the purchase price will come from the sale of two city-owned properties.

“This purchase ensures that this strategic location will be secured and preserved for important civic uses,” says

from School District #83 board chair Bobbi Johnson to signify the city’s purchase of a five-acre piece of land on the former J.L Jackson school site.

Cooper, noting that Lot 3 will be used for youth soccer as well as park/ green space. “Higher levels of cultural and athletic uses are being contemplated for the future, perhaps including a performing arts centre and indoor soccer/athletic facility with running track.”

Cooper agrees this does indeed open the door to the new Shuswap Society For Arts and Culture, an organization dedicated to the construction and

Trailer nabbed

At approximately 11 a.m. on July 14, a theft occurred in the parking lot of Walmart. A utility trailer used for landscaping was parked there. A white pickup was seen hitching to the trailer and driving away.

At 2:30 a.m., police

responded to a break and enter in progress on the 400 block of the Trans-Canada Highway. While police were on the scene an alarm sounded at a nearby business. Two youths were arrested by police each under 15 years old.

These youths are being held in custody and expected to be released with conditions of curfew and refraining from illicit substances.

management of a community multi-purpose performing arts centre.

“It certainly does open the door for performing arts and soccer,” says Cooper, noting the current council does not envision city capital and operating funds for these potential long-term uses. “What I personally envision is to lease the land for a

dollar, which we do for many other community groups.”

The mayor says she and council have heard the pleas to keep the property in public lands and adds the purchase will allow the city to fulfill all the guidelines established by a design group formed after a Loblaws proposal was turned down a few years ago.

“We know we want to do a playground but we don’t have it figured out yet,” Cooper says.

“There’s lots yet to be developed… We have a year to complete all the purchasing.”

Also pleased with the sale, Johnson says the services provided by the city will save the school district considerable funds and make the remaining lot more marketable.

“It is wonderful that a much-loved and used property will now be available for youth and the broader community to use and enjoy.”

Twists, turns in Sturgis lawsuit

Ronald McDonald House BC is growing. ®

Plan: Plaintiffs proceed to drop claims. scribed the accusations as frivolous and grasping at straws.

Also named as defendants are the municipality of Sicamous and mayor Darrel Trouton, as well as camping provider Vincent Lewis from Vernon.

According to the initial claim, Sicamous is named because Sturgis North entered into an

By Martha Wickett

MARKET NEWS STAFF

‘Surprisingly complicated’ is how a defence lawyer describes portions of the legal action initiated by Ray Sasseville, Joan Hansen and Sturgis North Entertainment Inc. involving motorcycle events they put on in the North Okanagan-Shuswap.

After launching the lawsuit in BC Supreme Court in December 2013, in March of this year Sasseville and Hansen began the process to drop the court action against six of the seven defendants.

Adding to the mix, Gerhard A. Pyper, the lawyer who initiated the lawsuit on the plaintiffs’ behalf, has been suspended by the Law Society of B.C. Salmon Arm lawyer Rodney Chorneyko is representing four of the seven defendants.

“It’s very odd. I’ve never had so many twists and turns simply for plaintiffs to abandon their claims so early – there’s so much complication to get documents finalized,” Chorneyko told the Market News.

Chorneyko is representing Steve Hammer, site manager for the 2011 Sturgis North motorcycle rally; the Sicamous and District Chamber of Commerce; Renée Charbonneau who publishes a blog and newspaper for the motorcycle community; and Bernie Aubin, an entertainment provider.

The defendants and Chorneyko have de-

Ray Sasseville agreement to hold an annual event there beginning in 2011 called the Sturgis North Burnout and Festival. The plaintiffs alleged the event was wrongfully taken over and became the Summer Stomp Burnout.

The chain of events in the lawsuit includes court documents registered Jan. 3 and 14 this year, in which Sasseville gives notice that he intends to represent himself in place of Pyper, his lawyer.

In a June 26 letter a client sent to the Market News, Chorneyko writes: “It is not usual for counsel to cease representing a party, but it is unusual for that to occur with plaintiffs’ counsel so soon after commencement of a claim...”

After the initial claim, Chorneyko filed an application to have the

proceedings transferred to Salmon Arm. Next, Pyper sent documents to the defendants declaring that the plaintiffs were volunteering to abandon their claims against all the defendants except Renée Charbonneau.

“Again, it is not unusual for disputes to settle but it is unusual for plaintiffs to effectively abandon their claims so soon after commencing the proceeding. It is also unusual for there to be no settlement discussions preceding the settlement,” wrote Chorneyko.

The documents in which Sasseville, Hansen and Sturgis North Entertainment Inc. dismiss their claims have not yet been processed by the Vancouver court registry, but Chorneyko said he believes it is because of a backlog at the registry, not because anything is amiss.

Neither Sasseville nor Hansen could be reached for comment.

Regarding Pyper, rather than holding a hearing on whether to suspend the lawyer, the law society took immediate action to protect the public. The society applied to the court to take over as custodian of Pyper’s practice when he was suspended in late May. No details on why he was suspended are forthcoming because the complaint is being investigated.

The suspension could delay a resolution to the legal action.

Sasseville and Hansen were behind the Sturgis North Motorcycle

n A rider competes in the burnout competition held in Sicamous.

Rally and Music Festival held in Salmon Arm in July 2011 and the 2012 event near Vernon at the Spallumcheen Motoplex Speedway and Event Park.

An event is planned for Merritt in August, with the name changed to Sturgis Canada.

While the first two events received some good and some poor reviews from participants, both left debts behind. A lawsuit initiated in 2012 by the motoplex seeking close to $400,000 from Sturgis North Encore Productions Inc. remains before the courts, and some Salmon Arm businesses owed money since 2011 have still not been paid.

In contrast to the legal action he initiated, Sasseville is currently one of those named in an investigation by the BC Securities Commission into the illegal distribution of securities in 2007 for Wireless Wizard Technologies Inc., whose products were purported to include a GPS system for motorcycles. A hearing is set for October.

In a separate case in 2003, Sasseville faced allegations of illegal distribution of securities and was prohibited

from engaging in investor relations activities for a minimum of three years.

OpiniOn Taxpayers lose in Graydon’s gamble In the wake of a report that found former B.C. Lottery Corporation CEO Michael Graydon was in conflict of interest while negotiating a job with a private casino firm, questions remain.

As NDP gambling critic Shane Simpson has noted, someone in the BCLC bungled this big time, but will anyone pay the price?

The fact that Graydon was negotiating to work with a private gambling firm while heading the government’s gambling arm should be enough to point to an obvious conflict of interest, regardless of what the investigation revealed this week.

But, the fact Graydon negotiated while on the taxpayer dime, then quit voluntarily, then scooped up $125,000 in taxpayer funds as he walked out the door is more than a little galling.

While Finance Minister Michael de Jong has acknowledged the report and announced policy changes to prevent such a situation in the future, where is the BCLC board’s defence of offering such an offensive golden parachute?

Kamloops’ Bud Smith is chairman of the BCLC board and has only issued a terse statement, which argued the audit shows “the information provided by Mr. Graydon to the board was incomplete and/or inaccurate.”

If that is a fact, perhaps Smith and board can then inform the public whether it plans to ask Graydon to perhaps return to taxpayers some, if not all, of the money he pocketed after leaving, but not before providing incomplete and/or inaccurate information to the BCLC board.

The problem is these types of shenanigans are endemic in B.C.’s Crown corporations and we will be writing about another transgression soon enough.

determined to catch one more fish Pale orange hues lined the few wispy clouds that hung in the sky at the far end of the lake.

The air was hot and dry and lifeless. My shirt was clinging to me. After a late start and more hours of driving than I had wanted – well, all I wanted to do was sit in the shade of the tall cedar outside the front door of the cabin and enjoy the evening.

I sat down on the step and watched as the sun began its descent into the watery depths of evening. A chorus of frogs began to serenade.

A pair of loons began their lonesome calls to each other across the lake. It turned into a perfect evening.

The next morning, after sleeping in for the first time in as long as I could remember, I made breakfast. The days ahead held nothing but promise.

A while later I carted my electric trolling motor, two batteries and all my fishing gear down to the dock.

Soon I would be casting my line to what I hoped would be a lake full of hungry and eager fish. Within minutes I was into my first fish.

The GreaT OuTdOOrs James Murray The lake has always held plenty of eight- to 12-inch rainbows. By mid afternoon I had caught and released no less than a dozen nice little trout. A good first day of fishing.

The following day the temperature soared. All I could do was try to escape the heat. My day was spent walking back and forth to the fridge. My evening was spent reading an old western pocket book I found lying around.

The temperature continued to rise steadily over the next two days. The fish responded by heading for deeper waters where they just sort of stacked themselves up like cord wood, not willing to show even the

slightest interest in anything I might toss out or drag their way. Two days went by without a single bite.

Motivated by the fact that I had to leave the next morning, I decided to give it one more chance and headed out shortly after the sun started going down. I was counting on the fact that even at their most lethargic, trout will sometimes give in to something like a leach or dragonfly nymph pattern dragged along the bottom.

Look long and hard enough into just about any Interior lake and you are bound to see the dark, flat, wavy, undulating form of a leech. They can be found throughout the water column at any time of the day or night. When trout see the undulating motion of a leech swimming about in the water, they simply can’t help themselves.

Dragonflies exist, in the nymphal stage, anywhere from two to six years on lake bottoms where they are continuously moving about, feeding, growing and maturing towards the adult stage. If presented in front

of the right fish at the right moment, a dragonfly nymph pattern can produce the kind of strike that will sit you right up in your boat – especially in the late evening.

Not all lakes contain freshwater shrimp, but lakes that do usually contain the best eating fish. Shrimp, unlike insects, do not lay eggs or hatch out at specific times or seasons of the year. They are continuously swimming about, day and night, feeding and being eaten by other creatures, including fish. I have caught plenty of rainbow trout in the evening on shrimp patterns even when they have failed to look at leeches and/or dragonfly nymphs.

So, in the late hours of my last evening on the lake, I found myself sitting out in the boat, doggedly determined to catch one more fish. I tied on a pregnant shrimp pattern and presented it every way I knew how.

It proved to be a long and futile night.

Having said that, I’ll be just as doggedly determined the next time I head up there.

JAMES MURRAY/MARKET NEWS

Rules benefit travellers FROM THE HILL Colin Mayes Transmitting portable electronic devices on flights is only permitted, in normal mode, while the plane taxis. Our government, in collaboration with our aviation partners, was able to offer airlines the tools they need to safely enable passengers the opportunity

to use portable devices on airplanes, while still maintaining the highest standards of aviation safety.

This decision is aligned with similar decisions by the U.S. Federal Aviation Administration, and the European Union. Air operators in those countries must first demonstrate that safety is not affected by the expanded use of portable electronic devices. This exemption is a temporary measure while Transport Canada initiates regulatory amendments. Passengers who use transmitting portable electronic devices will still need to ensure

they are in a non-transmitting or flight mode before using them on an aircraft.

I spend approximately six hours of flight time, not to mention wait times, between flights to and from Ottawa. This important regulation will benefit me and many of you when flying with Canadian air operators. Soon, we will all be able to use our electronic devices during take-off, climbs, descents or landing, making it easier for me to use my computer a little longer to catch up on my emails instead of waiting until I am back in the riding and/ or back in Ottawa. The

use of cameras, electronic games, tablets and computers during all phases of flight in Canada, will allow passengers to soon be able to use their electronic devices, provided their airline has met certain safety conditions. This is good news for children who want to keep using their electronic games during flight time.

Please remember, the use of these devices onboard any flight is always at the discretion of the air operator.

Luck, along with hard work, has been a factor in quelling three recent Tappen-Sunnybrae fires.

A hog (sawdust) pile beside Lakeside Timber mill spontaneously combusted last Wednesday afternoon and spread to a nearby 12- to 15-foot pile of railway ties.

Tappen-Sunnybrae Fire Chief Kyle Schneider says the hall got the call at 5:33 p.m. July 9 and the first truck was rolling two minutes later, arriving on scene at 5:47 to find the hog pile fully involved.

The beehive burner located right beside the sawdust pile had been turned off at 10 a.m. the day before.

“As we were hitting remaining hot spots, I looked over at the CP (Rail) yard and they had a pile of a few hundred railway ties that had caught on fire,” says Schneider. “So we had a second fire going.”

Schneider called the Shuswap Fire department, who sent 11 firefighters, an engine and two tenders to help quell the fire.

When the fire began spreading to nearby trees, a call for help was issued to the Ministry of Forests, who responded with a three-person Rapattack crew, a response officer and a helicopter.

“We had an issue where we were hitting it with water and it was knocking flames into the trees, so we stopped that right away,” says Schneider. “That’s when the helicopter arrived and it was great.”

The Rapattack crew went 25 feet into the brush, where they hit water and determined there was no fire.

Firefighters, including 11 from the Tappen-Sunnybrae Firehall, were on scene for three hours and 45 minutes.

“It was very breezy; if it had been blowing off the lake it

n Tappen-Sunnybrae firefighters knock down hot spots in a hog pile at Lakeside Timber in Tappen on July 10. A fire that spread to railway ties the previous day required assistance from the Ministry of Forests and the South Shuswap Fire Department. could have been a very different story,” he said. “Every time something is in the trees and it doesn’t cause a major event, we get off lucky.”

But next morning, firefighters were back at Lakeside Timber.

A driver passing the mill saw smoke and called it in at 5:44.

“When we arrived it was still smoking, but by the time we got the lines out, one of them had burst into flame,” says Schneider, of hot spots that threatened to re-ignite a fire in a hog pile.

Mill employees had worked on tearing the sawdust pile apart during the day Thursday and thought they had extinguished any hot spots.

Schneider says eight firefighters were on-site for 90 minutes Friday morning and made quick work of the new hot spots.

The early call was tough to take, as Tappen-Sunnybrae firefighters were called out at 11:34 the previous night to a report of an older Ford pickup on fire on Robin Road.

“The flames were reaching up to the power lines and very close to some trees,” says Schneider, noting the truck was fully engulfed when firefighters arrived.

“We got it extinguished very quickly and looked for hot spots in the trees.”

Schneider says so far, firefighters have been lucky in knocking down fires this wildfire season.

With tinder-dry conditions and aggressive fire behaviour this year, both Schneider and the Wildfire Branch are calling for caution.

Most of the Salmon Arm Zone is in high to extreme danger, with no relief in sight until it cools down.

A campfire ban is in place throughout the entire Kamloops Fire Centre, which includes the Salmon Arm Zone.

Residents and tourists are asked to be vigilant both in putting out campfires and in reporting smoke or fires to 1-800-6635555, or *5555 on their cell phones.

New this year, the Wildfire Management Branch has set up a phone line to allow people to report a violation of the campfire ban within the Kamloops Fire Centre.

Every year, vandals cost the Salmon Arm Observer and Shuswap Market News at least $2,000 by destroying or vandalizing drop boxes.

“It’s ongoing but worse at some times of the year,” says circulation manager Valerie McMillen.

One driver had to deal with a particularly disgusting mess three weeks ago in Sicamous. When he went to fill the drop box, he discovered someone had thrown up in a food container and tossed it into the box.

“We had to pay the driver extra to clean up before he could put the papers in,” says McMillen with disgust.

Vandals struck in Salmon Arm over the Canada Day long weekend, setting fire to a box located at 30th Street and 60th Avenue NE. While the fire went out on its own, it completely destroyed the inside of the box and could easily have started a wildfire, given increasingly dry conditions. Two more Salmon Arm boxes were vandalized over the long weekend as well – one at 10th Avenue SE near Highway 97B and another near Little Mountain Park.

“Doors were ripped off and the posts were sawed in half; it took a lot of effort,” she says. “Basically in the last week, it has cost us $1,000 to fix six boxes, buying

In June, all the drop boxes along Salmon Valley Road between Salmon Arm and Branchflower Road were duct-taped closed after photos of naked women were deposited inside.

And nearby Canada Post mailboxes were tipped over.

McMillen says vandals often target both the newspaper and Canada Post boxes at the same time. The worst of the drop-box vandalism occurs on Ford Road in Tappen, in Malakwa, Silver Creek, Gleneden and at Salmon Arm locations where the visibility is poor.

During the winter, McMillen often gets complaints from

people who say the boxes have been emptied before they can get a paper.

“In areas that do not have natural gas, the papers are often removed and used as fire starters, or rolled tightly and used as fire logs,” she says. “When a box with 60 papers is empty within a couple of hours in the dead of winter, it’s obvious what’s happening.”

For both environmental and press cost reasons, the number of papers for each box is closely regulated.

“If people witness vandalism they can report it to the RCMP or the Salmon Arm office (at 250-832-2131),” says McMillen.

“There is an ongoing file with the RCMP with regard to the boxes.”

INFORMATION DESIGNED TO PROMOTE AND ENHANCE YOUR WELLBEING

Learn the truth about multivitamins and nutrition supplements (NC) How often do you eat a cup of sautéed spinach? How about three servings of fatty fish, like salmon, per week? Probably not very often, but those are examples of foods and portions that are packed with the recommended amounts of essential nutrients.

Elizabeth Somer, a leading registered dietician and author of several books, including The Essential Guide to Vitamins and Minerals, explains: “Even if you follow a healthy diet, a busy lifestyle can make it difficult to obtain the recommended amounts of vitamins and minerals from food alone.”

One easy way to maintain good nutrition is to enhance your diet with supplements; however, the frequency of new studies combined with the staggering number of supplements available makes it increasingly confusing to know what’s right.

Somer provides the facts surrounding common multivitamin misconceptions: Misconception 1: It’s realistic to obtain

all essential nutrients from food.

Even experienced nutritionists have a hard time designing a diet that provides all the essential nutrients for one day, and busy adults often struggle to follow a highly regimented diet. That’s not to say it’s impossible, but the best approach is to focus on eating nutrient-rich foods as much as possible – like dark leafy greens (good source of lutein for eye health), colourful fruits, whole grains, healthy proteins and fats (such as salmon, which is a great source

of omega-3 fatty acids DHA and EPA) – and fill gaps in nutrition with a daily multivitamin. “Another supplement I always recommend is fish oil,” says Somer, “or a vegetarian source from algae, because DHA and EPA benefit eye, heart and brain health.”

Misconception 2: Multivitamins have no health benefits.

Although recent studies report that vitamin and mineral supplements do not lower one’s risk of heart disease or cancer, these supplements are still proven to be

beneficial to one’s health. Somer asks: “If a study found that people who drank water had no lower risk for dementia, would you stop drinking water? Of course not, because water, like essential vitamins and minerals, is crucial to health and there is no controversy over its importance for human nutrition.”

Misconception 3: Multivitamins are a waste of money.

Multivitamins are a relatively inexpensive tool to achieve proper nutrition. “No reputable health experts

will argue that supplements can or should replace a good diet and a healthy lifestyle,” she continued. “However, multivitamins and nutritional supplements are one factor in a pattern of living that is known to maintain overall wellbeing.

Think of multivitamins as an insurance policy for optimal nutrition – they’re meant to supplement, not replace, a healthy diet.”

Vandals destroy boat, equipment

MARKET NEWS STAFF

Vandals were busy at the Marine Park wharf earlier this week, putting the area in jeopardy.

An angry Fire Chief, Brad Shirley said if it were not for an alert from a16th Street NE resident who called 911, a fire set in an aluminum boat could have been very serious.

Salmon Arm’s Hall 3 was dispatched at 2:16 Tuesday morning. When crews arrived, they found the contents of a small aluminum boat on fire.

“The fire was quickly extinguished; however, further investigation revealed a number of items that were vandalized,” said Shirley. “Small aluminum carts and fire extinguishers were dumped into the lake and boats had been vandalized and cut loose.”

“The fire was contained to the boat and firefighters were on scene for just over an hour,” he said, noting the RCMP are now investigating. “It’s certainly not something we want to see at all, obviously; however, at this time of year when we’re in such hot and dry conditions it’s very concerning.”

No-Wake Flotilla set for July 27 The 5th Annual NoWake Flotilla will take place on Sunday, July 27.

The No-Wake Flotilla celebrates the many non-motorized ways to enjoy the beautiful Shuswap River and raises awareness of the effects of power boat wakes on the shoreline, aquatic ecosystems and other river users.

This year’s No-Wake event will begin with a 10 a.m. launch from Grindrod Park and end at Mara Provincial Park at approximately 2 p.m.

There will be a lunch and bathroom break at Mara Hall at approximately noon.

Some participants may want to join the float at that point for the shorter paddle to

Mara Provincial Park.

As in previous years, there will be a shuttle bus available in the morning from Mara Park back to Grindrod.

This allows participants to drop their boats off in Grindrod and drive their vehicles to Mara Park so they will be there at the end of the trip.

The shuttle bus option was very popular last year and the bus was full to capacity.

If you plan to utilize the shuttle bus service, please RSVP to lowershuswap@gmail. com. If numbers are high, it may be necessary to have the bus complete two runs in the morning.

Headwater plays Wednesday on the wharf

By Barb Brouwer

MARKET NEWS STAFF

The last time Raquel Rawn played Wednesday on the Wharf, she was part of a Salmon Arm Secondary Band led by Jim Johnston.

The classically trained violinist will be back next Wednesday as part of a totally different music scene.

For the past year, the 2008 SAS grad has been part of the popular Vancouver band, Headwater.

Described as fierce, sentimental and sexy, the band has earned a reputation as one of the finest acoustic roots groups around.

Formed in 2003 by childhood friends Jonas Shandel (vocals/guitar/ banjo) and Matt Bryant, who has since left the band, Headwater’s music was inspired by the rugged wilderness of Lynn Headwaters Regional Park on Vancouver’s North Shore.

Following Bryant’s departure, Shandel has been collaborating with new singers, songwriters, musicians and producers.

Enter Rawn, who happens to live across the street from Shandel’s Vancouver home.

Rawn began playing violin at the age of six, first studying with Susan Aylard, before heading to Vernon for more training.

Rawn describes Salmon Arm as an ar-

n Members of Headwater Michael Rush, Jonas Shandel, Raquel Rawn and Noah Walker rehearse for their tour that stops in Salmon Arm next Wednesday. tistic community and a great place to grow up in musically.

“I played in all the Shuswap festivals and at the art gallery,” says Rawn. “I went through SAS band with Jim Johnston and PJ (Brian Pratt-Johnson.)”

After graduating, Rawn enrolled in Capilano College’s classical studies program, graduating in 2010 “I was fortunate enough to go with other Salmon Arm musicians and all of them are doing really well,” she says. “PJ was a wonderful teacher and so was Jim Johnston.”

But shortly after graduation from Capilano, Rawn gave up her violin.

“I realized I didn’t want to play in an orchestra and I was basically too old to be a violin virtuoso,” she laughs. “I told myself, ‘this is a dream that’s not gonna happen.’”

It wasn’t long before Rawn was asked to play a small part for an album, a eureka event that opened up other genres to the young violinist.

“I didn’t think that was something I’d be interested in,” she says.

“It’s a whole new challenge having to write

my own material.”

Rawn says Shandel pushes her to write, mixing classical training with more folk and pop melodies.”

“I do really enjoy performing, but as great as classical is, no one is gonna be dancing to a Vivaldi Concerto,” she says, thankful for the classical base but equally thankful for not being constricted by it.

“When learning classical, you’re not taught to improvise or make things up on your own, but that’s what I’ve been doing for the last couple of years.”

Rawn is excited to be playing in her hometown on July 23 at Marine Park.

Wednesday on the Wharf begins at 6:45 and admission is by donation.

CHASE Firefighters douse burning boat left on road

By Barb Brouwer

MARKET NEWS STAFF

It’s a mystery.

The Ministry of Forests, Lands and Resource Operations was called to a fire that destroyed a boat and trailer near Chum Lake, east of Chase on the Turtle Valley Road to Chase Creek.

“A fancy ski boat was parked in the middle of the road, and we spent the whole day babysitting it,” says fire protection officer Larry Osachoff, noting a three-person initial attack crew was dispatched because the fire was outside of the Chase fire suppression area. “It was a fiberglass boat with very toxic fumes.”

Because of the toxicity, firefighters stood back and made sure it was extinguished and keeping the fire out of adjacent woods.

“We had to wait a long time to put water on it,” Osachoff says, noting the case had been turned over to Chase RCMP for investigation. “We’ve seen a lot of things, but I don’t ever remember

n The remains of a fiberglass boat smoulder after the blaze was extinguished east of Chase on Turtle Valley Road. an abandoned boat and trailer. It was just sitting there on the gravel road.”

A few kilometres northeast of Chase, the Squilax Volunteer Fire Department has been busy over the past week.

Firefighters were dispatched to a trailer fire on Little Shuswap Lake Road East around 2 p.m. Saturday, July 12.

Fire chief Keith Power says the trailer was about 30 per cent engulfed when firefighters arrived.

Eight firefighters were on scene for approximately seven hours, but the trailer was a total loss.

“Firefighters were hampered by a lack of hydrants,” said Power, noting the air temperature was about 38C before the fire. “We had

to shuttle water from the Squilax Gas Station.”

The fire is under investigation by the property owner’s insurance company.

Squilax firefighters got an early morning wake-up call Wednesday that kept them busy for another seven hours.

At 2 a.m. seven firefighters responded to another trailer fire, this

time on Arnouse Lane, a trailer court on the Little Shuswap River.

“When we arrived, the trailer was fully engulfed and it was a total loss,” Power says, noting the homeowner thinks the fire might have started in an airconditioning unit. “We were fortunate the river was close by as, again, the court does not have hydrants.”

Power says a total ban on camping and cooking fires is being implemented on band land along with the province’s campfire ban that went into effect at noon July 16.

Adrian Wynnyk, recreation section head for the Thompson Cariboo Region of B.C. Parks, says the four-year improvement project is acknowledgement that the park is much more than a venue for the renowned Salute to the Sockeye Festival.

He says the park is very popular with day users and an integral part of a community, which includes First Nations, the Adams River Salmon Society, the Nature Trust of BC, Pacific Salmon Foundation, Fisheries and Oceans Canada, other provincial ministries, and the private sector.

“All the groups have been involved, particularly the Little Shuswap Indian Band,” says Wynnyk, noting chiefs and councillors among others have been busy building a weir. “They have been helpful and supportive.”

Some highlights of the project, which began two years ago, include:

• The new facility will see an increased buffer between the river and the park facilities. Rehabilitation and re-vegetation, re-establishing a zone that better protects the riparian habitat.

• A more welcoming and clearly defined entry experience and a ‘gathering place’ that would suitably allow for large groups, festivals, organized community events and interpretive information.

• Provision of a safe, welldefined pedestrian and vehicular movement area.

• The new facility day-use area will be smaller and will meet the needs of the users in non-salute festival times.

• The site will be built so that the adjacent expandable parking is available for Salute and other large participant events.

• A deceleration lane from Squilax Anglemont Road and better sight distances for traffic coming and going from the park for improved safety.

• Room will be available for concessions, displays and interpretation as well as the same number of parking stalls.

• Some facilities will include First Nations themes in recognition of the past use of the fish and the Shuswap area.

• Trails will be improved. Up-

dated signs and displays will encourage more use upstream from the parking area.

• A new viewing platform to view the salmon and other parts of the natural environment.

• Old trails that are too close to the river will be closed, rehabilitated and naturalized.

• A new day-use plaza area with picnic tables, interpretive information and other services.

• Improvements to the existing water system making it available to the visitors.

Not all items in this project, with an estimated cost of $1.2 million, will be fully completed this season, but the facility will be ready to the degree needed to facilitate the Salute to the Sockeye Festival this fall.

Wynnyk says the electrical and water upgrades are complete as is the deceleration lane.

The new trail from the plaza/ parking lot to the new viewing platform is complete and construction of the main parking lot and plaza area is to be completed by the end of August.

Construction of the new viewing platform is scheduled for the end of August, with upgrades to trails below the bridge crossing the Adams River on the SquilaxAglemont Road are to be completed by mid-September.

Perpetuating Gaza war Mahmoud Abbas, the president of the Palestinian Authority, said something cryptic last Friday, shortly after the Israelis began their latest round of attacks on the Gaza Strip. Condemning Hamas’s conditions for accepting a ceasefire as “exaggerated and unnecessary,” he offered his condolences “to the families of the martyrs in Gaza who are fuel to those who trade in war. I oppose these traders, on both sides.”

What could he mean by that? Surely he was not suggesting that Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu of Israel and the leaders of Hamas, the Islamist organisation that has effective control of the Gaza Strip, have a common interest in perpetuating the current bloodbath for at least a little while longer.

Yes, he was suggesting exactly that, and he was quite right. This is the third “Gaza War” since late 2008 – they come around more often than World Cups in football – and each one has followed the same pattern.

Some Israelis are kidnapped and/or killed, Israel makes mass arrests of Hamas cadres in the West Bank and launches air and missile strikes on the Gaza Strip, Hamas lets the missiles fly, and away we go again.

A few wrinkles are different this time. The kidnapping and murder of three young Israeli hitch-hikers in the West Bank, probably by Palestinians who had links with Hamas (although it denies responsibility), was followed by the torture and murder of a young Palestinian, probably by Israeli vigilantes.

The ceasefire signed after the last round in 2012 was already being violated by both sides for some months before the real shooting started a week ago.

And, most importantly, Hamas had achieved a political reconciliation of sorts with Mahmoud

GLOBAL VIEWS Gwynne Dyer Abbas’s rival organisation that rules the West Bank as the Palestinian Authority. But although every turn of the wheel is a little bit different, the pattern remains the same.

So why would Prime Minister Netanyahu be willing to launch Israel’s third war against the Gaza Strip in eight years? Because the nature of his political alliances with other parties on the Israeli right, and especially with the settler lobby, means that he could not make a peace deal that the Palestinians would accept even if he wanted to (which he probably doesn’t).

That’s why he was instrumental in sabotaging the Oslo Accords, the theoretical basis for a peaceful “two-state solution” to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, during his first term as prime minister in 1996-99. Back in power in the past five years, his primary excuse for not moving on negotiations has been that Mahmoud Abbas could not deliver peace because he controlled only the West Bank, while the intransigent Hamas ruled the Gaza Strip.

Then Abbas stitched together a compromise that brought Hamas back into a unity government three months ago, and Netanyahu claimed that he could not be expected to negotiate with a government that included the “terrorists” of Hamas.

So is he now trying to destroy Hamas so that Abbas can rule unhindered over all the Palestinian territories and become a suitable partner for peace? Of course not.

Netanyahu knows,

on the evidence of the previous two wars, that Hamas can be battered into temporary quiescence but not destroyed. He also probably realizes that if he did manage to destroy Hamas, its place would be taken by a less corrupt and much more extreme Islamist outfit that might really hurt Israel. He is just doing this, with no expectation of victory, because Israeli public opinion demands it.

Hamas’s motive for wanting a little war are more obvious and urgent: it has lost almost all its sources of funding. Iran stopped funding its budget to the tune of $20 million per month when Hamas sided with the Sunni rebels in the Syrian civil war.

Egypt stopped helping it after last year’s military coup against Mohamed Morsi’s Muslim Brotherhood government, and closed the tunnels under the border through which the Gaza Strip received most of its imported goods. Those imports were Hamas’s main source of tax revenue. Hamas is broke, and if it stays broke its control over the Strip will weaken.

Whereas a war with Israel will rally the local Palestinians to its

support, and if enough of them are killed Egypt and the Gulf states may feel compelled to give Hamas financial aid.

So the only real question is how many dead Palestinians will satisfy both Netanyahu’s need to look tough and Hamas’s need to rebuild popular support at home and get financial help from abroad.

On past performance, the magic number is between a hundred and a thousand dead: around 1,200 Palestinians were killed in the 2008-9 war, and 174 in 2012. After that – assuming that only a handful of Israelis have been killed, which is guaranteed by the fact that Israeli air and missiles strikes are a hundred times more efficient at killing than Hamas’s pathetic rockets – a ceasefire becomes possible.

We have already crossed the lower threshold of that range of Palestinian deaths in the current miniwar, so a ceasefire is theoretically possible now, but both sides will probably press on for at least another few days.

Then the ceasefire will be agreed, and both sides will start thinking about the next round, only a few years from now. But the dead will stay dead.

EVA VOSTNER It is with sadness that we announce the passing of Eva on July 5, 2014 at Shuswap Lake General Hospital with loved ones by her side.

Eva was predeceased by her husband, Joe, of 45 years.

She was born in Germany on March 10, 1935 and spent her childhood there. Her early adult years were spent in Germany & Sweden before immigrating to Canada which quickly became her new home. Over the years she moved from East to West with her family, spending time first in Quebec, then to Alberta & the past 23 years in the neighborhood of Sunnybrae, Tappen, BC where she & her husband built their retirement home together.

After Joe’s passing in late 2008, Eva continued living in the home they built together. With enthusiasm, she pursued her passion for gardening, going on her daily walks with her side-kick, Pepper, and spending time in Calgary with her daughter Tess and son-in-law, Jason.

Left to cherish her memory is her daughter Tess (Jason) Vostner-Bell of Calgary, her brother Kurt (Heidi) Kasdorf of Wisconsin, close family friends Trish & Al Probyn as well as family and friends both near and far.

The family would like to extend their sincere gratitude to Dr. Erasmus Bonthuys for his compassion & kindness over the years, as well as the ICU nurses at Shuswap Lake General Hospital for all the love and care shown towards Eva and her loved ones.

Respecting Eva’s wishes, there will be no formal service. A donation in memory of Eva may be sent to your local SPCA or animal shelter (a cause dear to her).

PHILLIPS, ARCHIBALD MCEACHERN DECEMBER 29, 1921 – JULY 4, 2014 Archie was born in Kamloops, the youngest of five children.

He was predeceased by his father just prior to his birth. He left school after Grade 8 to assist his widowed mother on the farm in Westsyde in Kamloops.

At the age of 20, Archie joined the army, serving in WWII in the Calgary Tank Corp in Italy and Holland, during which time he contracted TB. Upon returning to Canada he spent 3 years recovering at the TB Sanitorium at Tranquille in Kamloops. While there, he completed his High School Diploma by correspondence. Upon his release from the TB San, he went on to complete a B.A. and a teaching degree from UBC, and later on, an M.Ed. at UVic. His teaching career spanned 30 years, mostly in Norkam Secondary School in Kamloops. He enjoyed a rich family life with his wife Joan, and 4 daughters – he always proclaimed his greatest joy and accomplishment in life was his family.

He retired in 1983, when he and Joan moved out to Celista, Shuswap Lake, where he continued to pursue his passions of reading, philosophy, astronomy, carpentry, environmental issues, the local Naturalist Club, and eventually became an active member of the Anglemont Seniors Community. While in the north Shuswap, Archie – always an avid writer -- composed a hefty and fascinating book of memoirs, read and enjoyed by many family and friends. Archie most loved being engaged in lively discussion about matters of the universe and of the heart.

In 2007, he and Joan moved to Salmon Arm, where they have enjoyed 7 yrs of being part of this vibrant community.

Archie leaves behind his loving wife, Joan of 58 years, and 4 adoring daughters, Maureen (Ted Brown), Wendy (Ted Sharples), Susan (Barry Durward), Debbie (Al Bates), as well as 9 grandchildren who were the pride of his life: Jacob, Noah, James, Lucy, Jeremy, Aurora, Hannah, Rachel, and Teslyn. Also, many nieces and nephews, with each of whom he had a special relationship.

The family wants to thank Dr. Currie and the Emergency Nursing staff at the Salmon Arm Hospital for their thoughtful support and care.

A memorial celebration of Archie’s life will be held at a later date.

Online condolences can be sent through Archie’s obituary at www.bowersfuneralservice.com Arrangements are in the care of Bowers Funeral Home and Crematorium, Salmon Arm.

We accept all Memorial Society and Pre-Need Funeral Policies Making final arrangements for a loved one isn’t easy.

Any Fluid Flush or Maintenance Participating Merchants: Work With any Oil Change. SHOP LOCAL • SHOP LOCAL If you’re in the market for a new air conditioning unit or are considering a home renovation, using a local, licensed contractor is often the smart way to go. Rather than dealing with the red tape of a larger outfit that may subcontract its work, local businesses are often more customer-service driven. What’s more, if ever a problem arises, it’s much easier to go into a local business and discuss concerns face-to-face instead of dealing with an unknown person answering phones at a corporate call center.

Benefits of shopping locally Scott Brandle

*With this coupon at the time of oil change offer expires July 31, 2014

Many consumers prefer to buy locally when shopping.

There are several advantages to choosing local products, including the benefit of aiding your local economy by supporting a business with roots in your community.

Dealing with an individual or small enterprise instead of a billion-dollar operation is another reason people are drawn to local stores and businesses.
