Salmon run prediction cut in half Early summer: Warmer-than-normal temperatures create challenges for spawning sockeye.

By Barb Brouwer OBSERVER STAFF

Are they late, or are they not coming?

This is a quandary Fisheries and Oceans Canada is facing with the early summer sockeye stocks which spawn in Scotch Creek and Seymour River.

On Friday, Aug. 7, The Pacific Salmon Commission and the Fraser River Panel reduced initial estimates of a probable run in the neighbourhood of 837,000 early summers to 424,000.

“Through test fisheries and sampling of DNA they construct a run size and run timing estimates,” says Stu Cartwright, acting area director of the federal Fisheries and Oceans Canada for the B.C. Interior. “The DNA confirms their origins.”

Cartwright says during the first seven to 10 days of the run, scientists were predicting almost double the number of salmon heading to the Shuswap.

“The bottom line is, they are now more confident there will be at least 424,000 and we’re not

sure it will bump up again,” he says, noting more test fisheries and DNA sampling this coming Friday should provide a clearer picture. “They could be seven to 10 days late, or they may just not be there.”

An observer at Hell’s Gate Canyon recorded a steady stream of sockeye passing the observation point last Friday.

Fishing remains closed Continued from front of Juan de Fuca Strait north of Victoria toward Port Renfrew showed approximately 13 per cent of early summers still present as they have been in varying numbers since testing began in mid July.

Eighty-six per cent were summer run sockeye and only one percent was late-run sockeye, which means they are a bit late in congregating offshore.

Cartwright says that out of the 424,000 early summer sockeye estimated to be in this year’s run, it looks like the early Thompson component (Scotch Creek and Seymour

River) is the group that seems to be significantly less abundant.

On Aug. 6, the Fraser River discharge at Hope recorded streamflow of 2,530 cubic metres per minute,

was 18.7 C, approximately .7 degrees higher than average for this date.

Drowning Job Solutions that victim Work identified The BC Coroners Service has confirmed the identity of a man who died in a swimming incident on Mara Lake near Sicamous on Aug. 4.

He was Scott Kevin Hardy Glen, aged 24, from Saskatoon, Sask.

The Coroners Service reports that Glen was staying with friends on a rental houseboat moored at a marina near Sicamous.

In the early morning hours of Tuesday, Aug. 4, he and a friend were swimming from the swim deck of the houseboat when he did not resurface. The friends called for help right away but an immediate search of the area yielded no results.

With the assistance of the Royal Canadian Marine Search and Rescue and the RCMP dive team, the body was recovered from about 15 metres of water later in the morning.

The BC Coroners Service and RCMP continue to investigate this death.

says, noting that fisheries officials are hoping to see more precipitation and cooler temperatures later this week.

But he cautions, even half a degree in temperature can affect sockeye.

And while it’s a bit early to estimate, Cartwright says officials are hoping the picture for the later summer sockeye stocks will be better.

“That’s where we’re hoping the strength of the run will be,” he said Monday. “But we don’t know at this point of time whether they will be here, weaker or stronger.”

At this time salmon fisheries remain closed other than First Nations food, social and ceremonial fisheries.

From the orange office

Sunnybrae resident Gary Johnston shares his thoughts on the recent televised debate and his thoughts on the current government with Okanagan-Shuswap NDP candidate Jacqui Gingras during the official opening of her Ross Street campaign office Friday, Aug. 7.

Opposition parties may have an edge

By Richard Rolke BLACK PRESS

The governing Conservatives could face an uphill battle, according to a political science professor.

Prime Minister Stephen Harper dissolved Parliament triggering a federal election campaign, with Canadians voting Oct. 19.

“The overall dynamic favours the opposition parties,” said Wolfgang Depner, with the University of B.C.’s Okanagan campus.

“Governments that have been in power for almost 10 years have a limited shelflife and the Conservatives have lost much of their bench strength to using a sport analogy. More so than ever, Harper will be the face of the Conservative campaign. But that is the problem, Harper is deeply unpopular.”

Depner says Harp-

er’s task is to convince Canadians that the other party leaders have their own baggage.

“As Harper has already done so, he will frame (NDP leader Tom) Mulcair as an unstable socialist and (Liberal leader Justin) Trudeau as a pretty but empty shirt.”

According to Depner, the early election call provides Harper with some advantages.

“The Conservatives have the financial resources to run a long campaign, whereas both the Liberals and the New Democrats will have to spend their money wisely,” he said.

The Conservatives, for example, could come out of the gates with a massive advertising blitz, which the Liberals and New Democrats might not be able to match.”

However, Depner says there is a downside to the long cam-

www.saobserver.net A3

paign because it coincides with the trial of Mike Duffy and his alleged Senate spending.

“This accords the Liberals and New Democrats a chance to link Harper with Duffy specifically and corruption generally throughout the campaign,” said Depner.

“The second risk is that message discipline threatens to fray as the campaign unfolds. If you recall, Harper first assumed power after a campaign that had begun in late November 2005 and continued through early 2006.

This campaign saw the Conservatives including Harper get off script, a development that cost them a majority. Which brings me to the third point and I will phrase it as a question: how many people will pay attention to a campaign that begins in the prime vacationing month of August?”

Visitors shifting to digital info

By Lachlan Labere OBSERVER STAFF

Growing dependence on social media and the Internet for travel needs may require more of a virtual presence and less of a physical presence for Salmon Arm’s Visitor Information Centre.

On Monday, city council received a presentation from Salmon Arm Chamber of Commerce general manager Corryn Grayston, the purpose of which was to formally submit a renewal request for a three-year contract to operate the visitor information centre in the Old Courthouse building.

Under the current contract, which expires Dec. 31, the city pays an annual fee of $134,500 for the operation of the info centre.

With the proposed contract, the city would pay

$135,500 for 2015/16, $137,535 in 2017 and $139,600 in 2018.

Council agreed to forward the request to budget deliberations. However, councillors also offered their thoughts on the increasing shift away from physical visitor information centres towards online technology.

Coun. Alan Harrison was first to admit to being a part of this trend, which is resulting in a reduction in the number of visitors at visitor centres.

“Everywhere you go, you see people on the street with a phone, figuring out what they want to do,” said Harrison.

With the numbers being down at the local visitor centre, Harrison said he thinks the city cannot count on people going through

the doors and that the money would be better spent in getting people here through online and social media.

“Because we all do it; when we go somewhere, you go to Google, you type in 10 best things to do in…” he said. “We need to make sure that resource is there for Salmon Arm.” Couns. Louise Wallace Richmond and Tim Lavery echoed Harrison’s suggestion that chamber focus

Coun. Kevin Flynn questioned if the info centre’s hours of opera-

tion might be reduced, and more resources being put into a better online presence.

“I think you might need to rethink sevendays-a-week, even through the summers,” said Flynn. “It would be tough if people do actually get there on foot and it’s not open, but as everybody has stated, I just don’t know that the future is people in the info centre, as opposed to people being able to access everything that they could online...”

City helps get garden growing

By Lachlan Labere OBSERVER STAFF

A $2,500-plus contribution from city council initiatives will serve as seed money to get a proposed community garden up and running.

In June, council heard from Salmon Arm resident Leslie Gurney, who has offered to donate an acre of her property at 2870 60th Avenue NE for a community garden, proposed in partnership with the Shuswap Food Action Network and the Shuswap Family Resource Centre. In exchange, Gurney asked that a water line be brought to the property separate from the one connected to Gurney’s residence.

Council asked city staff to find a cost-effective way to help make the garden a reality. Staff later came back to council with three options, the most effective and least expensive – and the one council chose to go with – estimated to cost $2,500.

In addition to the cost of the water extension, council also agreed to cover, again through council initiatives, a covenant that restricts use of the donated property to a community garden, allowing the city to disconnect the new water service should it no longer be used as such.

Furthermore, in response to concerns by city administrator Carl Bannister that the city cannot contravene its own bylaws by giving water away for free, council agreed to also cover a $262 flat rate for water for the coming year, also out of council initiatives, and that the cost of water (to be metered) be put into future budgets.

“Staff feels we do need a number, whether it’s the metered rate or the numbered rate…

But the flat rate is something we can stand by,” said Bannister.

“It’s a set rate,” he said. “We can monitor it and report back in the future.”

Home variances rejected

By Lachlan Labere OBSERVER STAFF

Willow Cove property owners will have to redesign their retirement home after having their requested variances denied unanimously by city council.

Council’s decision to deny the variances for Dan and Elaine Sewell’s property – lot 1 in the Willow Cove subdivision – followed an hour and 20 minutes of public statements, and about a half-hour of subsequent deliberation.

Council was not amenable to the variance reducing the rear parcel setback from six to 3.5 metres, as a variance had already been approved for the property in 2006 (for a former owner), for a front parcel line setback from six to three metres.

The variance that caused the most consternation, particularly for adjacent neighbours outside of the subdivision, was a variance to increase the maximum two-metre combined height for a retaining wall and fence in a rear residential zone to 7.6 metres (a 4.6 metre wall and a two-metre fence).

The rear-yard setback and the wall were to accommodate a raised grade on the steep property for the construction of the home, with a rear deck and backyard.

While other Willow

Cove property owners, represented in part by their strata council, spoke in favour of the variances, other neighbouring property owners, including Leah Shaw and Steve Genn and Chris and Tina Letham, protested the retaining wall and the negative impact it would have on their properties.

“Imagine what it would be like to have a gigantic building with this concrete wall and a further wall ahead of that as part of their permanent place to live,” commented Shaw.

“And I’m not saying everybody shouldn’t have a nice place to live and I feel sorry for the Sewells, but they have an unfortunate piece of land to build in, and it’s unfortunate because they’re trying to make it beautiful by making adaptations that are going to be repulsive to us.”

Chris Letham said he’d received notice of the proposed variances only 12 days prior to Monday’s public hearing. Subsequently, he challenged a city staff report which, along with a recommendation to council to accept the variances, notes staff had received a letter from the applicants stating they have “discussed the building plans and variance requests with the neighbouring property to the west and they do not object to the proposal.”

“In our discussions in May, the only thing that

was suggested to us was there would be an application for a deck.”

Letham also expressed his dismay with how the proposed retaining wall and raised property would impact their privacy.

This impact was key to Coun. Alan Harrison’s decision on the variances.

“We certainly hear from the people who live in Willow Cove and they are feeling that it’s not going to affect them,” said Har-

Alan Harrison CITY COUNCILLOR rison. “I believe that’s true for them… but the only people who really know how it’s going to affect people like the Lethams are the Lethams… I think we need to listen to them.”

Coun. Kevin Flynn suggested more compromise was needed on the part of the applicants.

“I just think you want a full front yard or driveway, and you want a full backyard on a lot that probably can’t accommodate that, and I think that was proven by the original variance that was applied

for… to me that was a compromise that allowed the building site potentially to move away from the nearest neighbours who are going to be the most impacted...” said Flynn.

Only Mayor Nancy Cooper spoke in favour of all the variances, based on the argument she had gone through a similar experience and has since come to value her neighbours over privacy.

“I will support council, but I’m disappointed because… I see a lot of similarities between my house and what’s going on here, and I can tell you I truly appreciate my neighbours… and I was sitting where you were and trying to protect my property as well.”

Bring on the festival

Get ready to move your feet and clap your hands – it’s Roots and Blues week.

Music is one of the few activities that involves using the whole brain and is intrinsic to all cultures. Scientists say music reduces high blood pressure, is good for your heart, boosts immunity, enhances intelligence, learning and IQ, improves physical performance and productivity, can help reduce both the sensation and distress of pain, reduces stress and aids relaxation, improves mood and decreases depression and, is just darn good for the soul.

So bring on the Roots and Blues Festival this weekend, where I and thousands of others will be doing ourselves, including our brains, a lot of good.

There is an amazingly high number of talented singers, songwriters and musicians in the Shuswap and many opportunities to hear them – a cultural richness that family and friends from larger centres are often surprised to discover. But once a year, Roots and Blues brings to our small community, a world of music both in artists and genres. While classical music was my introduction to the musical world, I have grown to love many other genres as well. I am certainly not a music aficionado, nor do I have a handle on the “music speak” those in the business use to communicate or describe what they do.

But I do know this; I have never come away from a Roots and Blues Festival without finding something that captures my heart and simply amazes me.

And I have learned that to get a CD of one of my newly-discovered musical heroes, I had better hustle over to the merchandise tent just before, or during, the closing notes of a set – or miss out.

There are so many artists I am thrilled to be hearing this year, not just because of their fabulous music (I always go online to hear them), but the message they are sharing in their lyrics.

Canned Heat, one of the 1960’s biggest protest bands and earliest environmental advocates is on my must-see list. Social activists Naomi Wachira and Quique Escamilla use their fabulous sound to shine a light in the dark places and situations in the world. Once half of what was the most successful duo in rock history, John Oates has sold more that 82 million albums, recording five new ones since going solo in 1999. And Grammy-winning icon Marty Stuart has also sold millions of records with his traditional country music.

Has beens? Absolutely not!

I love what Canned Heat drummer “Fito” de la Parra contends – that musicians, like fine wine, improve with age and are more interesting. So too are the many up-and-comers and those who are hitting their stride.

Do we get “big” pop artists like some of the other festivals?

No, we don’t.

But we get three days of awesome roots and blues music for about half the price. Open your hearts and your musical minds and head for the fairgrounds on Friday. Tickets are available at www.rootsandblues.ca or visit the office at 490 Fifth Ave. SW.

Spend tourism dollars at home Every year, thousands of tourists flock to the Shuswap to spend their vacation time and money.

And while there’s something to be said for getting out of your hometown for a holiday, there’s an equal argument to be made for staying close to home.

Staycations are a great way to get out and explore the amazing recreational opportunities our region has to offer.

They are also a great way to keep your vacation dollars circulating in the local economy.

By visiting regional events and venues, you’re not only supporting local businesses you’re also helping to create and maintain jobs.

In 2013, the tourism sector employed 132,000

British Columbians, almost one in every 15 jobs in B.C. The sector has more than 19,200 tourism-related businesses and paid out $4.5 billion in wages and salaries to tourism workers in 2013.

Tourism is especially critical to the economy in the Shuswap. This weekend is a particularly good time to invest some of your entertainment dollars into our own Roots and Blues Festival, which according to a Thompson Rivers University study generated roughly $4 million in direct new spending in the region in 2013.

So if you needed another reason to go to this weekend’s festival, think of it as an investment in Salmon Arm’s economy.

View Point

Salmon Arm Observer Wednesday, August 12, 2015

www.saobserver.net A7

The Observer asked: What do you think of the extended federal election campaign?

Chris Watson “I think the implication of a longer election will mean more votes for Harper.”

Esther Carlson “It’s a big waste of taxpayers’ money, and it won’t change my mind on who I’m voting for.”

Tary Kennedy “I hope it will allow people to become more educated on the election, to make the right choice.”

Sorting out some federal election issues BC VIEWS

Tom Fletcher VICTORIA – The first, and perhaps the only complete English-language debate in this long federal election campaign has helped define the issues, and the nonissues.

I’m not going to try to tell you who “won” or “came out swinging,” because this is not a sporting event. If you’re paying attention in August, bless you, and you probably have a favourite already.

First, let’s deal with Prime Minister Stephen Harper’s diabolical scheme to extend the length of the formal election period.

This, according to national pundits, is an extension of his evil plot to attract more financial supporters than the other parties, and spend the money. In other words, it’s a non-issue and any opponent who dwells on it looks like a whiner.

This is the first election in modern Canadian history to follow a four-year schedule.

National pundits spent months telling us Harper was going to use a loophole in his own election law to call a spring vote before the economy tanked. Didn’t happen, and now the Conservatives are rightly under scrutiny about their economic management. Incumbent manipulation of election timing is over, and that’s good.

Scheduled elections by their nature create longer campaigns, as demonstrated in B.C. and the United States. So they should be conducted under formal campaign rules, which limit the noise of public sector unions and other special interests.

Another non-issue is the non-existent deficit and recession that supposedly grips Canada. On actual results, there is a slim surplus, and if – a big if – Saudi Arabia continues to depress world oil prices, there may be a modest deficit by next spring.

The Bank of Canada’s recent move to devalue the dollar has already produced a rebound in exports and tourism, which any government would appreciate. Have you

tried to find parking at the mall lately?

Of particular interest to B.C. voters is the contest between NDP leader Thomas Mulcair and Green Party leader Elizabeth May. May used what may be her only national debate appearance to press Mulcair to oppose the TransMountain pipeline expansion project before hearings are complete.

Mindful of Adrian Dix’s disastrous 2013 decision to do the same in B.C., Mulcair insisted he would wait for the federal review, even though he considers it to be inadequate.

This is, of course, all theatre. Based on their actions, the NDP, Green Party and Liberals are all opposed not just to oil pipelines but export gas pipelines as well.

Liberal leader Justin Trudeau wants to cancel capital cost allowances for liquefied natural gas investment that have been granted by B.C. and Ottawa, which could be a deal-breaker for LNG. B.C. NDP leader John Horgan formalized his opposition to the TransMountain expansion last week, in a letter filed with the National Energy Board. But we’re expected to believe that Mulcair has a different position, for now.

Harper was forced to admit that his long effort to persuade U.S. President Barack Obama to approve the Keystone XL pipeline has failed, and the project will have to wait until Obama leaves office next year.

The debate also confirmed positions on Canada’s modest role in bombing Islamic State terrorist positions in Iraq and Syria.

The Conservatives are for it, and the Liberals, NDP and Greens are against it.

Trudeau set the stage for the contest in Quebec, which B.C. voters can only watch from afar to see if it once again decides the shape of their federal government.

Trudeau pushed Mulcair on his cynical bid to court the separatist voters who suddenly swung to Jack Layton’s NDP in 2011.

Like petroleum prices, it’s beyond our control.

Tom Fletcher is legislature reporter and columnist for Black Press. Email: tfletcher@blackpress.ca.

Connie Hilton “I am disappointed in Harper, it’s a waste of money to host such a long campaign.”

Joan Mitchell “People will lose interest. I think Harper is hoping this will put a financial stress on the other parties.”

Put onus on industry, government Re: Campaign to hit at gas pump. I agree that it doesn’t hurt to be reminded of the effects of climate change every time I use gas or diesel at the pump. However, what this campaign will also do is continue to reinforce the suggestion that we the ordinary people are the bad guys,

with all the guilt, shame and discomfort that go with it.

Unlike cigarette users who have a choice whether to harm themselves, vehicle owners have little choice – if any – so we are forced to continue to harm the environment when we would surely rather not

The guilt should fall squarely on the laps of government and industry, who continue to putz along in the slow lane when it comes to ‘green’ means to get around.

Perhaps Our Horizon could focus on them instead of us.

Take the candidates for a ‘test drive’ Lately there has been publicity about the results of election polls in the North Okanagan Shuswap in the federal election. This is mostly based on results provided

by Three HundredEight. com, an Internet-based polling model that consolidates the results of the various polls done by others.

Eric Grenier, who operates the model, states the following – “These riding projections are not polls and not necessarily an accurate

reflection of correct voting intentions in each riding.”

His latest results for this riding shows his estimate has a 58 per cent chance of being correct.

To my knowledge there has not been any actual polling done in this riding. There have been a few polls done recently by Insight Research, mostly on the Lower Mainland that show that 30 per cent of voters are undecided.

The national polls also reflect this. However, public

polls only tabulate results from decided voters.

We are in a very volatile situation so voters should take every opportunity to become informed about the parties and the candidates.

There are a number of all- candidates’ meetings upcoming throughout the riding starting in September that everyone should attend.

After all, one wouldn’t buy a car with doing a test drive.

Election about democracy not autocracy Longest election campaign ever in Canada!

What a shame, but no surprise. I’ve never been partisan so the political party I vote for fluctuates throughout the years. But what I will not vote for is a party that is led by an autocratic leader. So for me, this time round it is anything but Conservative. I am proud of being Canadian and do not agree with Harper’s ongoing degradation of our democratic values.

This upcoming election is a critical one when considering the serious consequences if Stephen Harper should be re-elected. Harper is very cunning when it comes to crafting

legislation that restricts democratic freedom and fair play.

The election has been referred to, by investigative journalist Michael Harris, as the Rubicon election... a limit or point that we reach when the results of our actions cannot be changed. This election is a decision about ourselves as a country.

Think I am exaggerating about Harper being an autocrat? Here are a few book titles: Harperism: How Stephen Harper and his think tank colleagues have transformed Canada (D. Gutstein); Dismantling Canada: Stephen Harper’s New Conser-

vative Agenda (B. Jeffrey); The Arrogant Autocrat: Harper’s Takeover of Canada (M. Hurtig); Harperland: The Politics of Control (L. Martin); Irresponsible Government: The Decline of Parliamentary Democracy in Canada (B. Rathgeber); Rogue in Power: Why Harper is Remaking Canada

1925

Salmon Arm, in contrast to any other areas where forest fires have occurred and are still raging, can be considered fortunate that very little marketable timber has been destroyed. To the Forestry Department, this is in no small measure due to the splendid efforts of Chief Ranger Mobley and his crew for the prompt action taken to corral the outbreaks. During the past few weeks, the expenditures on firefighting have reached a high figure, between July 31 and Aug. 7, nearly $1,000 a day has been required. This will give some idea of the large number of men who have been required in the battle.

1935

Report was made over the radio that several businesses down the valley had been broken into at the weekend. Among these was the branch store of Mr. C.R. Beer in Armstrong, where some $150 of goods was taken away. The culprits removed the glass in the front door.

1945

Mrs. Wm. Hucul has arrived at the home of her parents, Mr. and Mrs. A.B. Cave, South Canoe to await the arrival of her husband from overseas. Mrs. Hucul has spent the past two years in Eastern Canada where she was working on Lancaster Bombers. She says that B.C. looks better then ever.

Damage estimated at $3,000 was caused by a fire, discovered shortly after midnight on Wednesday at the Orange Hall on Palmer Street The building is owned by Mrs. A Reid and is being rented as an auction room by C.J. Partridge. It is thought that the building was damaged to the extent of $1,000 to $1,500, while damage to goods Mr. Partridge had stored in preparation for his next auction is thought to come to about $1,500.

assive, grey, saucer-shaped.

Unusual air traffic is reported to have entered the skies of Salmon Arm in April of this year. And a New Westminster man would like to hear more about it.

Rod Drown is writing a book on Unidentified Flying Objects – or UFOs – in B.C. dating back to 1890s. He noticed what he describes as “one of the most dramatic sightings I have ever heard of” when he was looking over the National UFO Reporting Centre website.

There he found the description of a UFO sighting which occurred April 2, 2015 at 5:30 p.m. It was reported on May 3 and posted to the site on May 8.

Its location was Salmon Arm, its shape was listed as ‘disk,’ and the duration of the sighting was 20 minutes.

The posting reads as follows: “Massive grey saucer shape, low altitude, moved towards me.

“I was inspecting a new lake lot we bought and were building on when I saw what looked like snow on the mountain. It soon became clear it was not snow and the saucer object with a large deep belly was moving towards my position. It was still sunny but there was no reflection.

“The craft was massive and grey like concrete. Made no sound and left no visible trails. Hovering at 600-1000 feet. About the width of two football fields. No details like doors or markings could be seen. I chose to leave before it got closer.

“People near Glen Eden, or across the tracks downtown must have saw something.”

Drown would like to hear from the author of the post or anyone else who might have witnessed the spectacle. He is writing his book because “UFOs to me are the greatest mystery of modern times” and he thinks a book dedicated exclusively to sightings in B.C. would be a valuable addition to existing literature on the topic.

Drown estimates there are dozens of good sightings in B.C. in an average year and offers a number of websites which list them. For sightings in B.C., he suggests: http://ufobc.ca/, or, in Canada: http://www.canadianuforeport.com/survey/UFOsOverCanada.pdf.

The April sighting from Salmon Arm is not the only one in the Shuswap reported by a newspaper. In January 2004, the Eagle Valley News in Sicamous reported sightings

by Mara Lake residents, Darryl and Lisa Schwartz.

They had been seeing unidentified objects in the skies from their home throughout November of 2003, but one night during a snowmobile trip in a nearby mountain, Darryl reported seeing a multi-coloured disk hovering above the trees about a mile away. He watched the object for about 15 minutes. At that time he described it this way: “It didn’t look like anything I’ve ever seen. It was diamond-shaped with a cluster of lights and was the size of a three-storey house. It hovered like a helicopter...”

He became frightened and left.

On Dec. 26, the couple saw another strange object from outside their house.

It was zipping back and forth, at tree line, with many multi-coloured lights visible. Lisa recorded the disk-shaped object on video, and also called the police. A constable who was quoted in the newspaper confirmed that he saw “a bunch of lights” unlike anything he had seen before.

Also interviewed for the article was a man from Houston, B.C., who investigated UFO sightings.

He said sightings of unidentified objects in the Shuswap skies, particularly in the Mara Lake and Gardom Lake areas, had skyrocketed in 2003.

REPRESENTATIVE

Airport looks to extend runway OBSERVER STAFF

Future development at Salmon Arm’s airport is ready for takeoff with the recent completion of an airport development plan.

City council adopted the Shuswap Regional Airport Development Plan on Monday.

Roughly nine years in the making, the primary goal of the plan is to identify and preserve the land for aviation and non-aviation related uses, and to guide future development.

City engineering and public works director Rob Niewenhuizen said an original draft of the plan was completed in 2006, and was finalized in 2007. However, an updated version of the plan was needed to meet help meet the airport’s current goals, as well as Transport Canada’s current technical standards and recommended practices.

Included in the plan are recommendations for immediate and longer-term improvements. One involves the acquisition of land for an extension of the runway.

“We require some additional land at the north end of our runway,” said Niewenhuizen. “This is to make us in compliance with the length of our runway… Once this plan is adopted or approved, then we can take that land as dedi-

cation, if that property subdivides, or we can actually work towards a plan of setting up a reserve to purchase the property.”

Two other infrastructure issues that need to be addressed include the construction of a parallel taxiway, along with expansion of the airport’s apron, both of which will help to eliminate congestion during peak periods.

Niewenhuizen said phase one of an environmental report is also part of the plan,

Rob Niewenhuizen PUBLIC WORKS which helps identified contaminated areas on site.

“Once this plan is approved, then we will move forward with

the second phase of the brownfield study and that will hopefully narrow down the areas that have been identified… and then we can continue to develop the airport.”

A third phase would look at remediation, identifying costs and whether or not it’s even required. Niewenhuizen said the plan’s adoption will help the city in terms of finding grant money for the expansion of the taxiway.

The plan is available on the city’s website

Lyme debate swirls

Wednesday, August 12, 2015 Salmon Arm Observer

Diagnosis: Testing for the disease causes controversy.

OBSERVER STAFF

Lyme disease testing and treatments continue to be a contentious issue in the province.

A July 20 Canadian Lyme Disease Foundation press release contains statements from documents secured through a freedom of information request.

“There continue to be limitations because the tests (Elisa) for Lyme disease are insufficient,” wrote a senior vice-president of patient care services at BC Women’s Hospital.

“It is very difficult to diagnose patients with Lyme disease, particularly when patients test negative for Lyme disease using the available tests for Lyme diseases which currently have a sensitivity rate of less than 50 per cent,” reads a document from senior staff with BC Government Communications and Public Engagement (GCPE).

“It is really concerning that the public and patients are falsely reassured that Lyme disease testing in B.C. is just fine, but behind the scenes the B.C. government acknowledges there are serious limitations with the accuracy of the tests,” said Gwen Barlee, a Lyme disease patient and advocate. “It is tragic that Lyme disease patients in B.C. are often denied treatment based on negative tests when it is known the tests are inaccurate.”

In 2011, an internal government report obtained through FOI criticized the province for poor management of the disease.

Within 24 hours of the report being made public, the government announced the creation of the Complex Chronic Disease Program at BC Women’s Hospital.

Since its opening, the clinic has been beset by controversy, with multiple doctors leaving citing interference with the treatment of Lyme disease pa-

tients, says Barlee.

But Provincial Health Officer Dr. Perry Kendall disagrees.

“The two-stage testing is international gold and, contrary to what was reported out of context, the sensitivity is much better than 50 per cent,” says Kendall, noting the U.S. labs will find Lyme, if it is present, at about the same rate as the BC Centre for Dis-

“If 100 healthy people’s blood was sent, up to half would come back identified as having Lyme.”

But local Lyme sufferer Judi Kimmerly is crying foul and calling the chronic disease clinic a joke.

While she was recently advised she had been accepted to the program, she was also told she would have to wait a year before get-

ease Control (BCDC).

“What they also do is show it there when the BCDC says it isn’t there.”

Kendall says a recently published paper indicates a study in which the blood samples of some Lyme disease patients and other healthy individuals were sent to U.S. labs for testing.

“Up to 57 per cent were told they had it, based on the U.S. test,” he says.

ting an appointment.

Kimmerly says the Vancouver clinic only tests for a couple of Lyme strains out of several, and no co-infections.

“It’s just a crap shoot,” she says. “We have the highest level of MS (multiple sclerosis) in the world but when you get to the U.S. border, it suddenly becomes Lyme.”

Kimmerly says on average, people with Lyme pay about

$10,000 to $12,000 a year for treatment outside of the health care system.

And it took the help of her lawyer to convince Ottawa she deserves disability payments. She is using the funds, which are retroactive, to go to Seattle for treatment by a world-renowned specialist.

Kendall meanwhile, says he has no argument that Lyme disease does exist in B.C. and that it is very treatable in the early stages.

“We do recommend doctors treat on the basis that they have been bitten by a tick, particularly if it has been attached for 36 hours,” he says. “If they get a fever and a rash, we do advise doctors to treat on clinical grounds, even though the risk is low.”

He says millions of dollars are being spent on research, including looking at deer mice as well as ticks as possible carriers of the disease.

Donation improves care: Shuswap Lake General Hospital nurse Tim Work has his veins checked with a vein finding machine operated by colleague Gord Voth.

Less poking and prodding

By Barb Brouwer OBSERVER STAFF

From now on, finding veins won’t be such a shot in the dark at Shuswap Lake General Hospital, thanks to a new vein finder.

While lab techs have little trouble finding veins in most patients, some have theirs well hidden.

Shuswap Lake Health Care Auxiliary donated $7,378 for the purchase of the new equipment that will contribute to patient care and comfort.

“The vein finder uses ultraviolet light that enables techs to see the vein through the skin,” says hospital manager Mark

Pugh, noting the equipment is on wheels and is used throughout the hospital. “It’s kind of neat, you can see your blood coursing through your veins and is particularly useful for paediatric and geriatric populations or those people with difficultto-find veins.”

Auxiliary president Edie Swanson says the funds were raised through various events held throughout the year – a garage and bake sale at the Mall at Piccadilly, the Mother’s Day Footsteps For Our Future walk, which is geared towards women’s health, and Christmas giftwrapping in December.

Swanson says donations continued following the Mother’s

Day walk, where funds are used to support women’s health, so the entire $18,000 cost of two new hysteroscopes was covered.

“Ninety per cent of hospital auxiliaries have a thrift shop,” says Swanson, noting they are huge funding sources. “The Revelstoke auxiliary helps out sometimes, because people come here (to Shuswap Lake General). We work hard for the money.”

All the money the auxiliary raises stays in Salmon Arm. Swanson says it took three years to raise the money for the hysteroscope and the group will continue to raise funds “little by little” in order to support local health care.

North Enderby Timber will take on TurnKey Controls this evening in Vernon for the league championship.

NET and Turn-Key advanced with semifinal wins last Wednesday.

Salmon Arm’s Eagle Homes Nation of Domination took on NET in Vernon.

In a thrilling fashion NET advanced to their sixth Gibson’s Cup final in a row, defeating NOD 2-1.

NOD were caught on their back foot as NET came out strong, creating the first few chances of the game.

The deadlock was broken in the 35th minute when NET took the lead.

In the second half the tides turned and NOD came out firing, creating the majority of the chances but couldn’t get by the stingy NET defence who only allowed six goals all year.

In the 70th minute, NET scored an insur-

a motivated Turn-Key side.

NET, the defending playoff champs, will be shooting for an 11th Gibson Cup title.

Turn-Key is searching for its first-ever Cup title.

Something old, something new for Roots and Blues

Comfort: David Gonella, Roots and Blues production manager and Elaine Holmes, board member, are working to make the festival site appealing to guests.

By Barb Brouwer OBSERVER STAFF

T

he weather may be tropical but aside from the music, which is always hot at Roots and Blues, festivalgoers should be considerably more comfortable this year.

“Made in the shade,” says enthusiastic production manager David Gonella, who is pumped about additions and improvements being made to make the site more visually inviting and comfortable.

And that includes shade. Lots more of it.

At the Blues Stage, 12 30-ft poles have been installed by Salmon Arm company Glenn Power.

A successful campaign netted Gonella 500 pairs of blue jeans, which will be hung above the audience to provide about 3,000 square feet of shade and some cooling movement if there’s a breeze.

Ten poles have been installed at the Shade

Stage and will be hung with shade cloth to provide about 7,000 more feet of shade.

“We’re looking at them to be shaped like a mountain, so when you see Mt. Ida in the background, it should look like they all work together,” Gonella says, noting the wine lounge will be on the other end of the shade stage this year so patrons will be able to enjoy a glass of wine while enjoying Shade Stage performances.

“For me, it’s gonna be fantastic; I am so excited for this and the whole event, personally,” he says. “The biggest thing is we have a new group, a cultural committee, which has been adding decorations and off-stage busking. The plan is that everywhere you look, there is some type of activity – fire dancers, buskers and more.”

They’ve gone over whole site and come up with a decorating plan,” says Gonella, noting the overlapping noise issues confound-

ing buskers a few years ago have been addressed with the use of an easily moveable carpet stage.

“This makes us a little more nimble,” he laughs. “We’ll be looking at it over the weekend and if something doesn’t work in an area, we’ll simply move it.”

Gonella says board member/musician/artist/actor/teacher Elaine Holmes is heading up the committee with local music teacher and performer Roxy Roth in charge of busking.

“I’ve been noticing over the last few years it’s been a bit of a struggle, so this year it’s all about fun,” says Holmes of the challenges festival organizers have faced. “It will be lots more visually exciting with hula hoops, poi spinning, and large, large bubbles – and small bubbles too. Oh my God, it’s going to be fun.”

Festivalgoers are invited to dress up in

funky, cool hats and clothing to infuse colour and yes – fun.

Another new idea is a giving tree, where festivalgoers will be invited to write something they wish for in the future on one side of a piece of paper and something for which they are grateful on the other.

The papers will be hung on the tree and lighted at night, which Holmes says will add a nice pop of after-dark colour.

Attendees will also be invited to take part in a community art project. Yarn will be hung between two trees and those who pass by will be invited to grab some yarn from a basket and add to the free-form weaving.

“It’s all about connecting with each other, with the music and having fun,” she says.

“Like I tell my students, if it’s not fun, you’re doing it wrong. Sometimes you have to slog through things, but if you can, bloody well make it fun.”

Roots & Blues fever building by barb brouwer OBSeRVeR STAFF

Peter North is feeling good.

Artistic director for the Roots and Blues Festival, North says that while activity is intense, organizers are cheerful and upbeat.

“The last three weeks feels like we turned it around; the team feels so different after last year’s trauma,” he says.

“Sales are on the mark, we’re headed where we are supposed to be and the artists have been so available. Sometimes they can be prima donnas, but not this year.”

With no record stores left in major markets let alone Salmon Arm, North is excited about the expanded merchandise tent that will be located in the same spot but will be much bigger and more inviting.

“We’re bringing back Jerry Keough, who owns Heritage Posters and Records in Calgary and takes care of the merch for major festivals,” he says, noting Keough will also create a Grateful Dead display to match the festival theme. “Not all artists

evan buHler/OBSeRVeR

Happy place: Artistic director Peter North is excited by both the artist lineup and the changes that have been made for this year’s Roots and Blues Festival. can bring stock, so he’s making sure we have a really well-rounded list.”

Keough will also bring a lot of roots music from artists who have played at Roots and Blues in the past as well as albums by other popular roots artists.

Festivalgoers will also be able to meet legendary West Coast music promoter and entrepreneur Jerry Kruz who will be signing and selling his book, The Afterthought: West Coast Rock Posters and Recollections from the ‘60s.

Using the historical posters as a timeline, Kruz’s recollections are a celebration of the resiliency of Woodstockera arts and culture.

“It got great reviews so he’s been going to festivals, readings and signings,” says North.

“I saw him at a Vancouver Island festival and he sold a ton of books there.”

Stoked about the lineup, North recently saw four of this year’s festival entries at a festival in Canmore, Alta.

“Hanggai got two standing ovations;

they tore the place up, they’re something else,” he says of the traditional Mongolian band, whose undeniably gorgeous music has been winning many fans. “I saw Oysterband (award-winning U.K. folk-roots) on the main stage and they were very impressive.”

North was also impressed with how The Small Glories and Kat Danser resonated with the crowds at the workshops stages.

“It’s nice to see them getting the kind of response you hope they’re gonna get here,”

he says. “I was at the Calgary Blues Festival the same weekend and Geoff Muldaur and Amos Garrett sounded as good as they did 35 years ago.”

North reminds festivalgoers of the free pancake brunch hosted

by Downtown Salmon Arm and Salmon Arm Folk Music Society from 9 a.m. to noon Saturday, Aug. 15 at the Ross Street Plaza.

Daybreak Rotary members will be flipping pancakes and serving them with sausages, fruit juice and coffee.

Diners will first be entertained by Prairie balladeer Scott Cook, which will be followed by a blues jam.

And speaking of food, a new addition to the food court is the Mardi Gras Grill Truck, which won the Best Food Truck at this year’s Calgary Stampede.

Exhibit earns federal grant

By Barb Brouwer OBSERVER STAFF

The Shuswap District Arts Council has stepped up their game and has been rewarded with an $8,000 grant from the Canada Council for the Arts.

The grant for the internationally renowned Cardiff & Miller exhibition adds the arts council to the list of only two other arts organizations in the area to qualify for Canada council funding alongside Roots and Blues and Caravan Farm Theatre.

“This is a project grant, rather than a three-year operating grant, so it’s one-time, but it means the project was nationally recognized, which is a big deal,” says curator/director Tracey Kutschker, noting the Shuswap District Arts Council’s standards have risen over the years so that it now meets national criteria. “It’s a tremendous compliment to the calibre of our talented and hard-working team to achieve this.”

The exhibition Experiment in F# Minor features two works by Janet Cardiff and George Bures Miller, and runs until Sept. 19.

The gallery is open Tuesday to Saturday from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. Admission is by donation.

Also being rewarded for their artistic endeavours are Melissa Nasby and Roxy Roth.

“Melissa’s unusual and brilliant puppetry and artwork is of a very high standard,” says Marie Manson trustee Lois Higgins. “So we were delighted to provide an award to help further her aspirations.”

Nasby and artist Nikki Webber, recently travelled to New York to exhibit the puppet Nym, with which they won an honourable mention in the Jim Henson character contest.

She creates incredible felted masks and costumes for people,

Roxy Roth is the 2015 recipient of the Blair Borden Memorial Award.

Borden’s award is given to a musician who wishes to expand their experience with music.

“Roxy certainly fulfilled that criteria by not only utilizing the funds to further her own experience, but to offer a rhythm workshop to the community,” says Kutschker. “Roxy hosts music camps for kids each year, and offers family workshops and music therapy in a myriad of instruments through her “In the Groove” studio.”

A voice for indigenous people

By Barb Brouwer OBSERVER STAFF

In soft, romantic sounds or feverishly high dance music, Quique Escamilla sings about life – often a life of struggle.

“It’s more than just music for entertainment, it’s important to contribute,” says the artist who won World Music Album of the Year at this year’s Juno’s and was proclaimed World Solo Artist of the Year at the 2014 Canadian Folk Music Awards.

“That’s why I use music as an instrument to give a commentary… I am not preaching to people that don’t agree, I put the story out and see if people connect.”

Escamilla, who grew up in his native Mexico, remembers well the sight of military helicopters flying over his home.

In 1994, the North Atlantic Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) was signed between Mexico, Canada and the U.S. In response, the Zapatista National Liberation Army (EZLN) was formed in the state of Chiapas to defend indigenous rights.

“The uprising was against what the country did with Canada and the U.S. that gave them a lot of freedom to go and extract resources and do a lot of mining,” says Escamilla of previously unexploited farmland.

At the beginning of the uprising, he says many members of the movement were killed.

“They were seen as guerillas and they were bombed,” Escamilla says, noting that, as a teenager and still living in Mexico, he could hear the planes, see helicopters flying over and trucks filled with soldiers.

In a passion-fueled voice, Escamilla says he connects to this powerful story that must be told.

Escamilla sometimes wears a balaclava to emphasize the indigenous struggle that re-

his native Mexico and other places where indigenous people are disenfranchised. sulted from NAFTA. “Why is it that I do take it to that level, knowing that most people don’t know about the conflict?” he asks.

“It is my responsibility to tell the story in a precise and neutral way – the real story - and its cost to the indigenous people in Mexico.”

But Escamilla is quick to point out that indigenous peoples in Canada and the U.S. continue to be ill-treated by their governments.

“It’s the whole continent, from north and south,” he says. “I am passionate about it because it is something real, not only in Mexico.”

Escamilla says most of his songs are inspired by true stories, repeated stories, compilations of stories, stories from Canada, the U.S. and Colombia – all combined into one powerful story.

Escamilla also takes issue with immigration policies and why many poor and disenfranchised Mexicans are willing to put their lives on the line to get to a place where they have a means to support their families and hope for the future.

“It’s a human thing, something we have to rethink,” he says. “We need to come up with ideas to help solve the

problem in a fair, humane way.”

On a musical note, Escamilla grew up listening to diverse genres – western popular and heavy rock as teenager that gave him a sense of power.

“That’s the energy I started connecting with initially, then I moved on to softer, blues, jazz, African and Latin American,” he says. “I an not really tied to one particular style. I love music in all its flavours as much as I like diversity in life.”

Escamilla builds a

soundtrack for the lyrics, maintaining “the music is the ground for the story” by which he tries to make the message more easily digested.

“I have a foundation of the folklore of Mexico to remind my own people that our own music is beautiful and we shouldn’t forget it,” he says, noting he has successfully updated traditional Huapango music with modern instrumentation.

Escamilla performs on the Boogie Bar’n stage Saturday, Aug.

14 at 3:15 p.m. and Sunday at 12:30 p.m.

He makes a Mainstage appearance at 7:20 p.m.

Sunday.

ARIES (March 21-April 19): Jupiter jumps into your wellbeing zone on Tuesday, which is good news for your physical health and emotional wellbeing over the next 13 months. Thursday’s Sun/Uranus trine encourages you to improvise, innovate and be as spontaneous as possible. Then the creative cream will rise to the top.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Over the next 13 months, many Bulls will take up a sport or hobby; start a hot romance; go on holiday; or welcome a new addition to the family. Creative projects are also favoured. Tackle overdue chores and projects. A friendship or family matter may head off in a surprising new direction so you’ll have to be flexible and open to change.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): You’re in the mood to socialise up a storm, but don’t let convivial conversation degenerate into gratuitous gossip. Do your best to be diplomatic and discreet. Jupiter is about to expand your domestic horizons.

So [over the next 13 months] you could buy or sell real estate, move house, get a new housemate, or renovate so you have more space in your present dwelling.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): Your social media profile really takes off over the next 13 months as Jupiter blesses all forms of communication. So make sure you have plenty of topical things to say. It’s also a fabulous time to study, teach or travel. This week, take a good long look at your finances and find ways to combine forces with other people for positive outcomes.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Have you been worrying about money matters? Jupiter is jumping through your $$$ zone for the next 13 months, so make the most of the lucky financial opportunities that come your way. With the New Moon, Venus and Mars all in Leo later in the week, it’s time for confident, charismatic Cats to sparkle and shine. Go after your dreams.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): It is the perfect time to revive your run down batteries.Take a weekend break from your hectic daily routine and escape somewhere quiet and private, where you can relax and rejuvenate. With Jupiter moving through your sign – until September 2016 – are you ready to morph into the creative and vibrant Virgo you were born to be? Self-belief is the rocket fuel that will take you places.

YOUR

Sudoku

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Contributing to a joint venture or a group project brings long-lasting satisfaction over the next 13 months. If you’re attached, your partner could surprise you with an unexpected gift or unusual proposition.

Singles … don’t go looking for love in the same old places.

Aim to be much more adventurous.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): It’s time to make plans and set goals for the future. Go for gold, as Jupiter helps you envision ambitious dreams and creative schemes over the next 13 months. Think of creative ways to boost your professional profile or kick-start a stale career. To encourage the very best outcome - delay applying for promotions or jobs until after September 6.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Prepare for a big week when your ruling planet shifts into a different zodiac sign, which only happens once a year. On Tuesday, Jupiter [planet of good fortune and prosperity] transits into earthy Virgo and it also moves into your career house, which bodes well for a promotion, new job or lucky professional break coming your way.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Capricorns can easily get stuck in a domestic rut but this week Uranus shakes up your home life and encourages you to spring-clean, de-clutter and re-organise. You’ll feel fabulous when you finish! Jupiter also transits into your travel zone, so foreign shores beckon over the coming year. Keep up-to-date with your international contacts - who knows where they may lead?

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Over the next year, Jupiter [planet of prosperity] moves through your ‘money-fromothers zone’. So some lucky Aquarians will benefit from an inheritance, loan, freebie, financial partnership, divorce settlement, insurance claim, superannuation pay-out or bumper tax return. If communication with your partner has been strained, try a completely different approach.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Are you feeling lost at sea in a quagmire of possibilities? This week Jupiter shifts into sensible Virgo, which will help you be a bit more discriminating and focused. Fabulous fantasies and wild imaginings are fine, but it’s imperative that you finally find your true calling; follow it; and stick to it. Find something you’re passionate about.

LATOSKY, CINDY MAE (SERINK) December 16, 1964 – August 6, 2015 It is with great sadness we announce the passing of Cindy Latosky. A beautiful life taken far too soon: a wife, mother, daughter, sister, aunt, cousin and friend.

Words cannot express the love and compassionate heart this woman had. She held the weight of the world on her shoulders and carried that weight until the very end.

It is with grave sadness that we say goodbye to such a beautiful soul.

Goodbyes are not forever, goodbyes are not the end. They simply mean I’ll miss you until we meet again. Knowing she’ll be standing with open arms to welcome us to a new life. But until then; so long and we will see you later.

Cindy is survived by her husband Neal, her daughter Kelsey, her parents Maurice and Mae Serink, her brother Lorne, sisters Debbie (Doug) Titosky, Valerie (Dave) Stuart and Sherrie (Bob) Moulton as well as her nephew Trevor, niece Nadine and cousin Rose.

PEDERSON, GLEN RONALD AUGUST 18, 1930 – JUNE 23, 2015 Glen passed away peacefully with family at his side on June 23, 2015 at Bastion Place in Salmon Arm at the age of 84. Glen was born in hospital in Salmon Arm on August 18, 1930 to Hazel and Mathius Pederson. He lived in and around the Shuswap as a boy until he was 8 then moved to Vancouver. At 17, he started work for the railroad out of Beavermouth until he transferred to Revelstoke. Glen married the love of his life, Margo, in 1950 and started work in the sawmill business first in Chase, Smithers, Maple Ridge and finally out of Sicamous. He loved to fish, play golf and watch hockey, football and especially the Blue Jays baseball. We are blessed with so many fond memories of going up the Shuswap Lake in the boat that he built. Glen enjoyed trips to Reno, Las Vegas and the horse track for the races. He loved to play his guitar, sing songs and was known to have the “odd cold beer”. Glen was a hard-working, caring man and loved having his family and friends close to him. Glen was predeceased by his mother Hazel, father Mathius, brothers Clayton and Ted, sisters Olive and Evelyn. He is lovingly remembered by his loving wife of 64 years, Margo, son Ronald (Theresa) Pederson, daughter Roxanne (Lou) Nish and grandchildren; Matthew, Shelley, Dawn, Keith, Lorraine, Traci, Connie, Jeff, Tara and a multitude of great grandchildren. He is also survived by his brother John (Donna) Pederson.

Find peace (and yoga) in the park

By Martha Wickett OBSERVER STAFF

You’re invited to Peace in the Park.

On Saturday, Aug. 29, the Salmon Arm Chamber of Commerce, Downtown Salmon Arm and representatives from the yoga community will be holding the first of what’s expected to be an annual community yoga event.

“Peace in the Park is an open invitation event for everyone to join us in celebrating yoga health and wellness by participating in a morning yoga session, crystal singing bowl and meditation,” states a news release.

Jim Kimmerly, president of the chamber, explains the yoga event is part of a plan to utilize beautiful Marine Park more often.

“The long- term goal is to create a real topquality social gathering place,” he says. “If people have relatives in town, they’ll be able to say, ‘Let’s go to Marine Park – there’s always something going on.’”

The Aug. 29 event begins with a community, all-level yoga class at 10 am. For those who are new to yoga, there will be a

variety of poses and stretches geared towards all ages and levels of experience.

The morning will finish with crystal singing bowls and the remaining time will be dedicated to meditation.

“By 12:30 p.m. you’ll be feeling incredibly refreshed and ready for the rest of your day,” predicts the news release.

Peace in the Park is

Yoga for everyone: Marine

free, but participants are asked to consider bringing a non-perishable food donation for Second Harvest as the charity of choice for this year’s event.

Also useful would be a yoga mat, sun protection and water.

Visit www.sachamber.bc.ca, www.salmonarmdowntown.com or any of the local yoga studios for more details.

Park will be the site of the city’s firstever yoga event, dubbed Peace in the Park. It will include an all-level yoga class at 10 a.m., as well as meditation and crystal singing bowls.

Kindness initiative to help shelter

By Martha Wickett OBSERVER STAFF

It’s time once again to perform an act of kindness.

Michelle Eddy and her Random Acts of Kindness Facebook group is holding a donation drive on Sunday, Sept. 6 to support the SAFE Society’s Women’s Emergency Shelter.

The event will run from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. in front of Save On Foods.

“The focus for this donation drive is to help prepare the children and families for the new school year,” she writes. “As most of us know, starting a new school year can be costly and stressful. Imagine having to do so,

while living in a state of transition, and relying on the donations of others to provide for yourself and your children, no matter what the circumstance.”

She would like residents to share the information with friends and family.

“Last time we had great success and filled my big blue truck! Let’s see how much my truck can hold!”

The start of the wish list is as follows: diapers, wipes, juice boxes, granola bars, fruit/ applesauce cups, rice, cereals (hot and cold), condiments (mayo, mustard, ketchup, etc), toilet paper, paper towels, crackers, salad dressing, school snacks, fruit snacks/dried fruit, sandwich bags, insu-

The

E

Vernon-North Okanagan RCMP is warning the public of a Canada Revenue Agency phone scam that has come to the region.

In this scam, a person will receive a phone call from someone claiming to be from Revenue Canada, saying that taxes are owed.

“The victim is pressured to pay the allegedly owed taxes immediately over the phone,” said Const. Jocelyn Noseworthy. “If the victim is hesitant, the scammer threatens that the RCMP will come and arrest them.”

In at least one instance, another scammer has phoned claiming to be an RCMP officer on the way to the victim’s residence to put them in jail.

If you receive a call like this, do not disclose any personal or banking information.

Ensure that you verify any claims with Canada Revenue Agency yourself prior to taking any action.
