The road may be paved with good intentions, but Trans-canada Highway improvement plans for Salmon Arm aren’t gaining traction with everyone.

The Ministry of Transportation and Infrastruc-ture (MOTI) revealed the latest plans for public viewing and input last Wednesday at the Prestige Harbourfront Report.

Several politicians gave the project a big thumbs up, but Brad deMille calls it a death knell for his business that will no longer be directly on the high-way.

Shuswap MlA Greg Kyllo said he appreciates change is difficult and stressed the importance of working collaboratively to find the “happy medi-um” that will help local businesses while improv-ing traffic flow and safety.

“I am extremely proud the province is making this commitment to improve safety and transporta-tion networks through the region,” he said of the $120 million project. “It is the largest single infra-structure spending in the history of Salmon Arm.”

The project will begin with pre-loading the site of a new elevated bridge, which will be built north of the current highway and connect back to the cur-rent highway at 10th Street SW, says project man-ager dave Shibata.

“We’re still waiting for the geotechnical report,” said Shibata Friday. “We suspect it will be soft soil, so it will have be pre-loaded and that can take any-where from 10 to 20 months.”

Shibata says preloading will begin in 2016 and once the site is suitable for bridge construction, projects will be tendered through Bc Bids.

The first part of the project includes the re-placement of the Salmon River Bridge, addition of a frontage road to Salmon River Road via two roundabouts – one on either side of the highway –

Coping mechanism : Brandon Puffer-Hill deals with the summer heat by meditating under a water foun-tain at the Salmon Arm Waterslides and RV Park on Saturday, June 27.

Extreme heat breaks records

A rainy interlude Monday gave the Shuswap a brief respite from record-breaking temperatures.

On Sunday, the temperature at the of-ficial environment canada weather sta-tion reached 37.3c, breaking the record of 35.6c set on the same day in 1937.

“We were just shy of the extreme (month of ) June record, which was 37.6 set on June 24, 1992,” said environment canada meteorologist lisa coldwells Monday, noting the Shuswap was also under a severe thunderstorm watch.

coldwells said a clearing and drying trend was expected to start canada day, with temperatures in the low 30s, con-tinuing throughout the weekend.

Kamloops Fire centre fire informa-

tion officer Kelsey Winter said Mon-day’s showers, which were expected to bring between three to five millimetres of rain, would help with fire suppression work. But, she cautioned, the next ridge of high pressure with its hot, dry condi-tions could spell the implementation of a campfire ban by Friday.

A total of 35 wildfires ignited over the weekend in the Kamloops Fire centre, 22 of them caused by lightning and the remaining 13 were human caused and are under investigation.

A spot-sized fire was located Monday in the Salmon Arm Fire Zone – a remote blaze located off a cambie Forest Ser-vice Road.

Since April 1, there have been 122 wildfires in the Kamloops Fire centre compared to 94 in the same time frame last year. The fires have destroyed 2,398

hectares since the new fire season offi-cially began April 1, compared to 286 hectares burned between the same dates in 2014.

Bc Hydro reports that sustained high temperatures have impacted demand for electricity, including a 15 per cent increase in peak demand Saturday com-pared to the previous weekend.

“The increases are more than the equivalent of running an additional gen-erating unit at the Mica dam and gener-ating station,” notes a June 29 Bc Hydro release.

The utility suggests ways to keep cool: Shade windows and block up to 65 per cent of the heat; use a ceiling fan and make sure it is rotating counter-clock-wise; keep the clothes dryer off; use the barbeque to cook outside and take short-er, cooler showers.

and frontage roads con-necting Pedro’s and De Milles and running to 30th Avenue SW.

Down the road, the second part of the proj-ect will take place be-tween 30th Street SW to 10th Street SW. It will involve realigning the 10th Avenue SW intersection – moving it east and creating a frontage road on the north side of highway connecting to 25th Street SW.

On the south side, a frontage road will con-nect to 30th Street SW, access will be improved to First Nations land on 15th Street SW and improvements will be made to the 10th Street intersection.

“We’re working with Adams Lake Indian Band and are beginning the acquisition of prop-erties,” said Shibata. “I can’t say when it will happen. There are quite a few properties, but we’re hoping to tender it in 2017.”

The third part of the project includes a sec-tion of the TCH be-tween the western bor-der of Neskonlith Band lands to First Avenue SW. It involves four-laning the highway and the potential for con-nection to First Nations Road through an un-derpass, as well as two pedestrian underpasses.

“We’re in consul-tation with the Nes-konlith,” said Shibata. “There’s a lot of work to be done.”

Overall, the project includes intersection improvements, four-laning, adding side-

walks and frontage roads and improving and connecting walking and biking trails.

Murray Tekano, MOTI’s district man-ager for the Southern Interior says the proj-ect focuses on improv-ing safety, reliability and access as Salmon Arm’s population con-tinues to grow.

He says he heard a lot of positive feedback at the open house that attracted well over 200 people.

“That speaks to how important the commu-nity views these im-provements,” he said, noting MOTI officials have listened to con-cerns, producing much-improved plans and that he expects some tweak-ing as public input and stakeholder discussions continue.

A simulated “fly-over” of the project put the scene in motion and was much appreciated by attendees.

“I like the new plan; I am excited about it,” said Mayor Nancy Cooper, after viewing the fly-over. “I like the old highway being ac-cess to DeMille’s and the trails. It’s a huge safety thing.”

Coun. Kevin Flynn was impressed by the “significantly im-proved” plans.

“I have been on council for 10 years and every year we ask for a new bridge,” he said. “It finally looks like Salm-on Arm is getting closer to a safer, better, more efficient solution to the issues west of town.”

Brad DeMille dis-agrees. He says his fa-ther, Rodger DeMille, donated land along the TCH to allow for two-

laning of the highway and replacement of the current wooden bridge.

“They changed their plan largely because of my input; the original design was horrible,” he said. “The new design is better but we’re still gonna die – just a little bit more slowly.”

DeMille says 20 per cent of his business is from new patrons, who stop because they are attracted by what’s hap-pening at his business. He says an elevated bridge farther away from his farm will kill that portion of his busi-ness. DeMille says his 60 employees and the 30 to 40 B.C. Interior farmers he buys from will also suffer.

Salmon Arm Cham-ber of Commerce president Jim Kim-merly pointed out that the current highway will remain open while construction takes place on the new section and bridge.

“This was the fourth plan we’ve seen and this one is better than the other three,” he says, noting DeMille’s and Pedro’s are desti-nation businesses for many area residents but signage will be critical

in alerting tourists to them.

It was corruption that derailed 12,500 rural property taxes.

“A p p r o x i m a t e l y 12,500 rural property tax notices were auto-matically aborted due to a corrupt character in the printing file,” reads a June 26 email from the Ministry of Finance.

“New tax notices with an extended dead-line are currently being mailed out and taxpay-ers will receive them shortly.”

The system error af-fected property owners in Area C South Shus-wap, Area D Falkland/Salmon Valley/Ran-chero, Area E rural Sicamous and Area F North Shuswap.

The payment dead-line has been extend-ed to 38 days from the date of issue. The same extension will be granted to these tax-payers for home owner grant applications.

Affected taxpayers will not be subject to a late payment penalty if they pay their property taxes by the extended deadline.

In rural areas tax payments must be re-ceived or postmarked on or before the due date to be considered on time.

Those who are un-able to pay their taxes in full, should still claim their homeowner grant and see if they qualify to defer their taxes.

Rural property taxes

are payable through financial institutions, through a mortgage

agreement, at Service BC offices and by mail or courier.

Glitch delays CSRD tax notices

Couple arrested for fraudSalmon Arm RCMP arrested a

man and woman Thursday after they attempted to flee the police on foot.

The pair had been identified as being involved in a previous theft or fraud in the area by a witness to that event, which occurred days earlier.

Once the two were in police custody, it was determined they were wanted on warrants from Alberta and were in possession of a stolen Honda motorcycle and another Kawasaki motor-

cycle which may have been ob-tained through fraudulent means.

The investigating RCMP of-ficers also located a quantity of credit cards and bank cards, as well as ID belonging to other people.

The Salmon Arm RCMP de-tachment is following up with financial institutions, as well as the owners of the identification, to ensure they have not been vic-timized financially.

The pair have been held in cus-tody to face local charges, as well

as deal with the Alberta arrest warrants.

Road safetyThe RCMP would like to re-

mind the motoring public to watch out for motorcycles, bi-cycles, and pedestrians. There was a collision June 22 involving a motorcycle and a car, with both vehicles ending up in the ditch. The motorcylist suffered non-life threatening injuries. A ticket was issued to the driver of the car.

SCIP pledges $100,000 value

Songs of joy are em-anating from the Salm-on Arm Folk Music So-ciety board room as the Shuswap Construction Industry Professionals (SCIP) have become a major Roots and Blues Festival sponsor.

When the idea of sponsoring to the tune of $100,000 was brought up at a recent SCIP meeting, it met with unanimous ap-proval from the nine board members in at-tendance – subject to the signing of a memo-randum of understand-ing (MOU) by both parties.

The new sponsor-ship includes $100,000 of financial and in- kind support to renovate the building located at 541 Third Street SW, which will permanent-ly house the Salmon Arm Folk Music So-

ciety and Salmon Arm Roots and Blues festi-val operations.

“It is community support like this that makes our festival so special. On behalf of the board I would like to thank SCIP for their generous contribution to the future of our fes-tival,” said Lody Kiek-en, chair of the Salmon Arm Folk Music Soci-ety.

“It’s a great cause and we can help cut down some of the fixed costs,” said SCIP presi-dent Tim Dunn. “Their thing is to make music and ours is to build things. It’s a good fit.”

Renovations on the new property are an-ticipated to begin in the fall of 2015 and will include the raising and expansion of the cur-rent structure.

“From my perspec-tive, it’s an example of how this community works together – two

not for profits and the city all working toward the betterment of the cultural life of the city,” says Ian McDiarmid, music society board member. McDiarmid remains optimistic the other $100,000 needed to complete the office and sufficient storage space will be forth-coming.

He says that since the budgetary issues

experienced last year, the festival has gar-nered incredible sup-port from throughout the community.

SCIP is a non- profit association of more than 200 industry re-lated businesses, trades and individuals whose goal is to ensure a more informed, profes-sional and competitive construction industry in the Shuswap.

The Canada Revenue Agency earned a vic-tory in Salmon Arm Provincial Court Thurs-day when Salmon Arm resident Gary Richard Lott pleaded guilty to

one count of failing to comply with a require-ment to file notice for his 2010 personal in-come tax return.

Lott was fined $1,000. The outstand-

ing tax return has now been filed.

When taxpayers are convicted of failing to file tax returns, in ad-dition to any fines im-posed by the courts, they

must still file the returns and pay the full amount of taxes owing, plus in-terest owed, as well as any civil penalties that may be assessed by the government.


Planning the Roots and Blues renos: Ian McDiarmid and Tim Dunn discuss plans to refurbish a house that will become the new Roots and Blues office.

Considering no one was injured, to Vanessa Morris, being out of her home because of a fire is largely an incon-venience.

But two other rent-ers were not so lucky and she has set up a Go Fund Me account to give them a helping hand.

Vanessa and her husband Cameron have been out of their apartment above the Shuswap Pie Company since a June 4 fire filled their home with smoke.

“I was just coming back from a trip, but

Cam was at home,” says Vanessa of the 11 p.m. blaze that began in the kitchen of one of three other apartments in the building. “Cam woke up to a smoke alarm. He tried to get out through the front door but there was too much smoke, so he went out our kitchen window and went from the roof to a dumpster.”

Relieved everyone in the three apartments escaped the fire safely, Vanessa is also happy she and her husband have rental insurance.

“We’re so thank-ful, it’s such a bless-ing,” she says. “But we learned the other two

tenants don’t and our hearts go out to them.”

Vanessa says she and Cam were able to have all their clothing, bedding and towels cleaned, an expensive proposition covered by their policy, but others

aren’t as fortunate.As of last Friday,

there was $1,074 in the fund, she said, noting her employer, the own-ers of the Barley Sta-tion and Wicked Spoon Tap and Grill gave her gift cards for the two tenants.

“If we could raise enough that they could pay for one month’s rent, that would be awesome.”

Vanessa is not sure when the building will be ready for occupan-cy again and invites anyone who would like to help Jillian and Earl to donate at www.gofundme,com/wn8zzek.

SALMON ARM OBSERVER

Editorial

Summer weather has hit with a vengeance.While that pleases most people, it further dries

out surrounding forests that are rated as being in the high to extreme-risk category.

With a forecast of more hot, sunny weather over the next few days, the rating is more than likely going to nudge the rest of the zone over into the extreme range.

And where does that put the already extreme risk area? Well, the categories don’t get any more severe than that. So, if the weather isn’t going to provide relief, all of us will have to be on our best, most careful behaviour.

It seems to be common sense, but now is not the time to be burning anything. But not everyone is getting the message. A homeowner in the Tappen

area decided to break the ban by burning vegeta-tion and also having a “campfire” that well exceeded the legal limits, resulting in a call out by firefighters and the potential for fines from the Ministry of Forests.

A campfire ban has not yet been issued, but extreme care needs to be taken to follow those safety parameters, including carefully monitoring the size and the safety of the fire including after it is thought to be extinguished.

A single spark from a cigarette, a firecracker or campfire could prove disastrous for so many in this area. And with temperatures so high, so early in the season, it is unlikely the situation will improve.

Mimic the danger rating. Extreme fire risk equals the need for extreme caution.

Pay close attention to fire risk

Making a moose-takeIt has been said– on the Internet, mind you – that those of us in

our 50s are glad there was no Internet, YouTube or social media in our younger days.

Grateful because a lot of the dumb, embarrassing, stupid things we did way back when were never caught on film or video.

In my younger days – and this is the first time I’ve ever con-fessed or publicly admitted this – I played Shirley Temple in a school play and had to sing Good Ship Lollipop. Complete with curly hair wig and lollipop.

I have written in this space before about winning the 1984 Mr. Quesnel pageant. There ARE photos of me in the old-fashioned bathing suit, and a newspaper write-up, but no video of me strut-ting my stuff in the skin-tight suit, drinking beer out of a gold pan or, dressed as Michael Jackson, lip-synching Billie Jean, com-plete with moonwalk – or a reasonable facsimile thereof – on the Billy Barker Days stage.

Thannnnnnkkkk goodness.I bring this up because, like thousands of other people, I was

appalled by a video making the rounds on social media.It is a video of a topless man on a boat with some friends on

what is believed to be a northern British Columbia lake.They are approaching an obviously scared moose in the water,

the moose trying to run from the boat.Topless guy gets up to the side of the boat and jumps onto the

back of the helpless moose, who then tries to hightail it out of the lake with the guy hanging on tight.

The guy is on the moose for a good 10 seconds in the video, encouraged by his buddies. One guy can be heard saying “this is the most awesome thing I’ve ever seen.”

Me? I was cheering for the moose to dump the guy.Of course, somebody on the boat is filming all of this.The video sparked outrage, as well as people supporting the

manoeuvre. The moose matter is now under investigation. As I write this, the moose rider has not been identified. It’s not even clear if this even happened this year.

What I’d like to know is why was this posted and by who?If it was somebody on the boat, surely – SURELY – they had

to have been aware of the potential outcry (we Canadians love our moose). Moose rider is now facing a substantial fine.

Really, you can’t do anything nowadays without somebody whipping out their phone, filming it and splashing it all over social media. However many guys are on that boat, the moose incident – and they obviously should have left the moose alone – should have been just between them, now and forever. Instead, the whole world now knows about it. For all we know, under nor-mal circumstances, the guys on the boat could be the nicest guys in the world who made one really stupid decision. Financially, they haven’t yet paid the price for their actions but they are paying for it socially.

A cause for celebration?While people are enjoy-

ing the festivities of Canada Day, let’s take a moment to really think about whether we should be celebrating.

Should we be proud of the fact that Europeans ex-terminated 40 million bison to make indigenous people dependant on a colonial food system? Should we be proud of the way the au-thorities used the starvation of nations to coerce and force indigenous people onto reservations?

Should we be proud of the over-representation of indigenous people in the prison system and the fos-ter care system? Should we

be proud of the inaction of elected officials on the over 1,100 missing and mur-dered women?

Should we be proud of the tar sands, salmon farms, oil pipelines tankers, min-ing, non-consensual devel-opment and logging, which seek to take the land away from the children, like the children who were taken from the land by residential schools?

Salmon Arm is on Sec-wepemc land, unceded, and never surrendered by pur-chase or treaty. People say colonization is in the past but it’s here and now and it needs to be acknowledged,

confronted and opposed if there is to be any hope of reconciliation.

As settlers on stolen land, we have to begin the process of unlearning the racism that pervades Cana-dian society and I think this starts with not being defen-sive, listening and being willing to change a lot.

When you celebrate whatever you tell yourself that Canada is, you also celebrate environmental destruction, colonial greed and every single racially motivated murder and in-justice since July 1, 1867.

VICTORIA – The man behind “Harp-erPAC” says it lived and died in a few days to make a point about third-party ad-vertising in Canadian politics.

When it launched, I wondered why he would choose such a deliberately provoc-ative name. No, not “Harper,” but the ac-ronym for “Political Action Committee,” which has come to symbolize the financial excesses of U.S. politics.

HarperPAC ran one radio ad, accusing Liberal leader Justin Trudeau of blaming voters for his declining popularity, and suggesting that Trudeau’s “months of mis-takes” are a likelier cause. No kidding.

HarperPAC spokesman Stephen Taylor, who like Stephen Harper before him has worked for the National Citizens’ Coali-tion, announced the end of the project last week.

“We have contributed to a new discus-sion about political financing in a fixed election era that is critical to our democra-cy,” Taylor said. “We note that this discus-sion only occurred once a right-wing ana-log of the left’s PAC-style efforts emerged on the scene.”

Indeed, it was when HarperPAC emerged that muttering began about “dark money” in Canadian politics. Unifor, Anti-Conservative front LeadNow and the many faces of the Tides Foundation somehow failed to ignite much discussion in the Canadian media.

Taylor launched the bid in response to the emergence of “Engage Canada,” a union-financed action committee that he said was part of a broader effort by the left to oust the Conservatives. Engage Canada portrays itself as a brave alterna-tive to shadowy right-wing groups such as Working Canadians, which has also run pro-Conservative ads.

Engage Canada’s latest ad plays on the union movement’s cherished “inequality” theme, selecting statistics to portray the wealthy as making out far better than the rest of us in Harper’s Canada. (The notion that “inequality” can and should be fixed

by ever-higher taxes on “the rich” staggers on, zombie-like, as if capitalism was the cause of poverty.)

Two recent developments have led to all this. Scheduled elections every four years have finally taken effect at the federal lev-el, after a series of minority governments. And courts have repeatedly struck down efforts to restrict third-party spending in the so-called “pre-campaign” period as an unwarranted restriction on free speech.

The B.C. Liberal government tried and failed several times to restrict third party spending, largely in response to the mil-lion-dollar tirades of the teachers’ union. Former attorney general Wally Oppal used to warn about American-style influ-ence by wealthy interest groups targeting scheduled elections.

Their strategy was not so much to keep corporate money out of B.C. politics as to keep it flowing through the B.C. Liberal Party.

This spring the B.C. Liberal majority passed Bill 20, the Election Amendment Act. Not only did this recognize the free-dom of outsiders to weigh in on elections, it also did away with pre-campaign re-strictions on registered political parties and candidates.

NDP MLA Leonard Krog warned that this sets the stage for “some mad Wild West show,” with politicians so desperate to raise money they start looking for the B.C. equivalent of renting out the Lincoln bedroom in the White House.

The big difference between the pre-campaign ads for this fall’s federal election and the next provincial vote in 2017 is that corporate and union donations to parties and candidates have been eliminated at the federal level. That means more money available for third-party campaigns, but it seems to be fairly well distributed be-tween the two sides, the Conservatives and everybody else.

Here in the Wild West, nothing’s going to change as long as the B.C. Liberals are in the saddle.

Hefty price tag for taxpayersIn a Salmon Arm Observ-

er article last week, Martha Wickett reports that the new avalanche control ‘refrig-

erators’ cost $25 million? Only a government could spend money like this.

Was a Senator in charge

Applause for Cohen tribute show I am still very pleased,

and very amused after at-tending the Leonard Cohen Tribute show, performed recently at the Shuswap live theatre. It was a show not to be missed.

The whole show was fabulous, plus riveting and rousing, due to the highly talented, 18-person cast.

“Leonard Cohen” him-self was outstanding – lots of audience rooting, holler-ing, loud clapping, and of course, a loud, loud, enthu-siastic standing ovation at the show finish. Also there were standing ovations for the many acts in the mean-time.

I have since spoken to

many people who missed attending and they are hop-ing for a repeat – a com-mand – performance.

Many congratulations, also go out to the producer and all the cast, who were very personable and enthu-siastic

From the

Archives

1925 Considering Salmon Arm to be the most central position in their district, the Dominion Government Forestry Department fire fighting section moved their local headquarters here from Sicamous. Charles Mobley was chief fire ranger, Ellis Wood was in charge of the immediate district with Art Ritchie as assistant.

1935 Reeve and Mrs. J.H. Harbell celebrated their 50th Wedding anniversary.Miss Bea Jeffers arrived home from her scholastic duties at Rossland.Never was there so much water as was seen this week at the Mill bridge. It was over the road and over round corner on the way to Tappen. Norman Rumble said it reminded him of the flood of 1894 when haystacks were carried down the river and dumped on the railway near the Wilcox ranch.

1945 Thomas Prescott retir-ing after 25 years as principal of Salmon Arm Central School, was the guest of honour at the Grade 8 home econom-ics group annual dinner. The dinner was planned under the direction of Miss Ruth Turner.An Abbott and Costello movie was play-ing at the Rex.

1955 Possibility of the proposed natural gas pipeline, from Kamloops to the Okanagan, being routed through Salmon Arm, was mentioned at a chamber of commerce meeting. It was thought if natural gas was available in Salmon Arm, it might assist in encourag-ing industry to locate here.A jewellers degree was awarded to John L. Paul, who had passed his final exami-nations in the Retail Jewellers’ Training Course conducted by the Canadian Jewel-lers Association.

Life & TimesMira Schenkel is now a

big cheese – when it comes to cheese making.

Schenkel’s Clover cheese, was recently awarded Best in Show at the 2015 Canadian Amateur Cheesemak-ing Awards.

The washed rind variety, which is made from milk produced by the family’s four cows on there Silver Creek farm and a secret blend of herbs (includ-ing clover), wowed the judges at the Great Canadi-an Cheese Festival in Picton, Ontario.

She also picked up a second-place finish for a Swiss-style Gruyere.

Schenkel, who is originally from Switzerland, was mo-tivated to create her own va-rieties, after missing the fine cheeses available in her home-land.

“Originally it was my hus-band Uli who was the cheese maker in our family, but as the demands of the farm increased and his time was limited, he convinced me to take it on,” she says. “I just wasn’t able to find the cheeses that I loved, so I decided we needed to try it ourselves.”

With his guidance, a few recipes from the Swiss cheese maker and a cheese making book – 200 Easy Homemade Cheese Recipes by Debra Am-rein-Boyes, Schenkel made her first cheese only four years ago. Her first try at a Swiss Mountain-style variety was a great success and she has never looked back.

Her secrets? She won’t spill them all, but

she credits her husband for his care and feeding of the fam-ily’s four cows, two Jerseys, Amber and Peekaboo, and two crossbreds, Belle and Brittney,

w h o provide the fresh un-pasteurized milk from which the cheese is made.

“To make good cheese, you need to have happy cows mak-ing good milk.”

Since her first foray, Schen-kel has created a variety of cheeses including Gouda, Maasdammer, Clover and Camembert, always aged for a minimum of 60 days due to the use of unpasteurized milk.

“I enjoy experimenting and the unique flavour of my award-winning Clover cheese features clover and herbs which I bring in from Switzerland,” she says.

“While mostly self-taught, I am truly grateful to my dear and hard-working husband for encouraging me to become a cheese maker…”

Schenkel decided to enter her cheese in the competition after meeting with a lady form Enderby who teaches cheese making at Okanagan College in Vernon.

“She wanted to look at my ripening room and sampled some cheese. A short while later, she emailed me and said I should enter this contest.”

Unable to at-tend the event due to

the demands of the family farm, Schenkel lined up a cool-er, some ice packs and a will-ing courier.

“It was nerve-racking. I was glad to hear it made it all right.”

When she heard the news that her cheese took top prize in the amateur show, beat-ing out all the other entries from all the different categories, Schenkel was amazed.

“I am very thrilled and excited to have my

cheese recognized at the cheese festival and I’m

already looking forward to next year!”But while she’s already

planning her entries, Schenkel has no plans to move into the pro ranks.

“It’s a lot of work, but it’s my hobby and I enjoy it,” she says.

“And I have a whole new circle of friends who I have met because of my cheese. There’s always a new friend who wants to come and have a try.”

City council is sup-porting a proposal for the development of two 12-unit apartment buildings off 11th Av-enue NE, west of the RCMP detachment.

The buildings are intended to go on two lots separated by 18th Street NE, designated Highway Service/Tourist Commercial in

Salmon Arm’s official community plan, and zoned Single-Family Residential.

A public hearing was held last Monday on proposed amend-ments to re-designate the properties as Resi-dential – High Density, and rezone them High Density Residential.

While no one took issue with the build-ings, neighbouring residents who live on

11th, downhill from the proposed develop-ment, raised concerns about traffic and speed limits.

“I am very concerned about the traffic be-cause I live right on the corner, and if I leave my lot three times a day, three times a day I’m taking my life in my hands because of cars flying around the corner there,” com-mented neighbour-

hood resident Dave Wood. “If you’re going to allow this zoning change, then I would suggest you also look very seriously at the speed limits along that road.”

Coun. Kevin Flynn said he was hopeful future residents would be more careful driv-ing than those access-ing the property if it had been developed as commercial.

“I understand the safety concerns and I

share them and hope-fully we can make some small changes to improve,” said Flynn.

Coun. Tim Lavery emphasized the need for rental accommoda-tion in town, but adde he shared the concerns expressed regarding traffic speed and driv-er’s sight lines, noting there is vegetation that impacts those sight lines that he’d like the city to look at.

“You could be going through your change of life.”

ARIES (March 21-April 19): Rams are on fire mentally, as you dream up a creative scheme or solve a problem in an innovative way. The Venus/Uranus trine favours romantic escapades or falling in love very fast [which is an Aries specialty]. It’s also a wonderful week to explore fresh horizons with some exciting and entrepreneurial new friends. TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Are you stuck in a stultifying Taurus rut? This week’s stars encourage you to be a lot more adventurous as you throw off your comfy slippers and go for it. Venus [your ruling planet] hooks up with Jupiter in your domestic zone, so it’s also a fabulous time to socialise with family members or buy something beautiful for your home. GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Marvellous Mercury aspects boost your gregarious Gemini side and stimulate your innate curiosity. Original thoughts and creative ideas could strike at any moment so make sure you have your phone, tablet, laptop, pen and paper, paint brush or musical instrument within easy reach, and then you won’t miss a thing. No one does creative communication better than you.CANCER (June 21-July 22): The power of imagination is on your side this week. Ideas and inspiration will come from daydreaming and creative visualisation, as you retreat into your own private inner Crab cave. But you must resist the temptation to shop up a storm, and use retail therapy as a form of entertainment. Find less expensive ways to amuse yourself! LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Lions can seem to be brazenly bold and brave on the outside but sometimes – on the inside – you feel like a much less confident kitten. This week it’s time to take a deep breath, as you talk up your creative talents and promote your accomplishments with cool confidence and plenty of chutzpah. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): The stars favour taking time out to recharge your run-down batteries, as you contemplate your life and where you’re going. Avoid being overly organised … leave room for spontaneous gestures and exciting surprises. You also have a strong desire to be of service, as you find a novel new way to help others.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): So much to learn; so little time! It’s the perfect week to channel energy into educating and expanding your mind. Your communication skills are also firing, as you extend your peer group and make exciting new connections. Family comes first midweek, as you work on building firm foundations and fostering affection at Villa Libra. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Don’t be shy Scorpio! Strive to promote yourself big time, as you push forward in a positive and proactive way. You have much to gain from sharing creative ideas with a compatible colleague. If you’re looking for a new job, now’s the time to strike as lucky Venus and Jupiter enhance your professional persona. And don’t waste time worrying about money.SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): It’s a sensational week to shake off the mental cobwebs and stretch your creative wings in expansive new directions. You’re keen to expand your knowledge base, as you pick up ideas and inspiration from all corners of the globe. Plus fabulous opportunities could come from foreign shores, as Venus and Jupiter join up in your travel zone. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Are you experiencing problems with a partner [of the romantic, business or platonic variety]? Drop the “I’m right” attitude and strive to communicate in more consultative ways as you inspire others with your inclusive ideas, networking skills and community spirit. Venus and Jupiter link up in your ‘money-from-others’ zone so it’s a lucky week for finances.AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Your bohemian side shines brightly this week, as the stars stimulate your endearingly eccentric side. Tap into the adventurous Aquarian you were born to be, as you charm others without even trying. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): The Sun/Neptune trine and Full Moon encourage you to be as creatively inspired as possible. So it’s a wonderful week to channel your inner artist as you write, draw, act, sing, paint or perform music; plus see a movie, play, concert or art exhibition so you can soak up and appreciate the artistic talents of others.

The latest in technology Canoe Forest Products site operations manager Marcello Angelozzie takes people on a tour of the plywood mill’s new greenend line lathe as it rapidly analyzes and peels logs, then sorts and stacks the veneer, utilizing state of the art technology, during an open house for the 50th anniversary, held last Wednesday. Angelozzie says the new line cost $16 million, and offers a 10 to 12 per cent recovery benefit over the mill’s previous lathe. This equates to about 25,000 cubic metres of logs annually and more than $2 million. The line requires six employees to operate but, because it has improved production, it has created more volume for manufacturing.

Chris Johnston spent the last few years away from his family work-ing up north.

Tired of being away from family and friends, he and wife Darcy decided her par-ents’ suggestion about putting a piece of land to ‘berry’ good use.

“We had some land that we decided we needed to do something with and there is such a demand for super berries now,” Johnston says of public requests for healthy food op-tions. “We researched it and decided to go with it.”

Johnston took some time off to harvest ber-ries last year, discover-ing he needed much more time than he thought to get the crop in. This year, the couple purchased a harvester that has just been put into action.

business, The Saska-toon Jammery. The Jammery will feature fresh and frozen Saska-toons, raspberries, cher-ries and blackberries, as well as jam products.

The Saskatoon Jam-mery is located on 30th Street SE. Anyone in-terested in purchasing fresh berries is advised to pre-order by calling 250-832-6491.

Imagine pointing your tires into the un-known, fearlessly re-leasing the brakes and shredding down a well-crafted trail in the deep wilderness of Northern B.C.

For Chris Stromgren, a Salmon Arm Senior Secondary School teacher and coach of the High School Mountain Bike Team, that is soon going to be a reality.

Stromgren is the winner of this year’s Mountain Biking BC Seven-Day Giveaway Contest.

Stromgren was se-lected among 10 ran-dom finalists who had

to convince a panel of judges in 500 words or less why they should be the chosen one for this incredible experi-ence.

Stromgren has been a committed rider and racer for many years and has given back to the sport by estab-lishing a very suc-cessful high school youth mountain bike program in Salmon Arm, which has won back-to-back provin-cial championships. He currently serves as commissioner for mountain biking with BC School Sports.

His passion for ad-venture, and mountain

bike road trips in par-ticular, make him the ideal candidate for this weeklong odyssey into the wilds of the North.

This year’s trip will feature riding near Prince George, Fort St. James, Terrace, Smith-ers, and Burns Lake.

Stromgren gets his students out helping with trail maintenance and building and sev-eral have gone on to work with the Shuswap Trail Alliance summer trail crews in the past.

He has long been a supporter of mountain biking, trails, and get-ting young people ac-tive and outside here in the Shuswap.

Mixed Open resultsThe pair of Debbie and Art Heale shot the lowest score in alternative shot play during the 2015 Mixed Open at the Salmon Arm Golf Club. Shooting the Overall Low Gross score was the team of Debbie and Glen Cross. More than 56 golfers braved the blazing afternoon sun to com-pete in the annual tournament..

Team tennis dates finalizedThe dates have been finalized for the Ladies Team Tennis Slammin’ Arm tennis tournament. The times are as follows: Saturday, July 11, 9a.m. vs Mission in Salmon Arm; Sunday, July 12, 10 a.m. vs Summerland in Summerland; and Sunday, July 19, noon vs Lakeshore in Salmon Arm. The men’s team play dates will take place on July 12 and 19 after the ladies finish, with the matches in Penticton yet to be decided.

’Backs pick up SalernoSilverbacks General Manager Troy Mick an-nounced the acquisition for 20 year old Aidan Salerno from the Buffalo Jr. Sabres of the On-tario Junior Hockey League last week. The 6’3, 218 pound right shot defenceman from Long Beach, N.Y. played in 51 regular season games and registered 14 points and 101 penalty min-utes. In the playoffs he appeared in seven games played and scored two goals and one assist.

BCHL schedule releasedThe schedule for the upcoming 2015-16 BCHL regular season has been released. The Silver-backs will host the defending league champions, the Penticton Vees on opening night on home ice at the Shaw Centre on Friday, Sept. 11.

What do 74-year-olds do for fun when the opportunity arises?

For long-time friends Tony Lewis and Jea-nette Fish their idea of fun might veer off the path of many their age.

A month ago, the pair of Alpine Club of Canada members as-cended over 2,300 me-tres to do maintenance on the Bow Hut, situ-ated below the Wapta Icefield in Banff Na-tional Park.

“We took along our skis, ropes etc., just in case we had some time and good weather to do some ski-mountain-eering. The opportu-nity came on the first of June,” said Lewis.

The hut is operated and maintained by the Alpine Club of Canada, and is easily reached in three to six hours from Bow Lake.

The trail follows the north end of the lake, before ascending to the right of a canyon, then crossing a creek, passing over a boulder lodged in the top of the canyon.

Once above the treeline, the terraine opens into a wide ex-panse of moraines.

Bow Hut serves as a base for a variety of ski tours and mountain-eering ascents to half a dozen peaks on the Wapta Icefield.

“It is a vitally impor-tant tourist attraction for hundreds of people from all over the world who want to explore the back country,” says Lewis.

He adds the weather was near-perfect and allowed them two days of ski mountaineering, first traversing the Bow Glacier before climb-ing Mt. Gordon, situ-ated 3,161m above sea level.

“We were awarded with spectacular ex-pansive views of the Rockies.”

The following day the pair completed a similar trip to Vulture Col and again descend-ed by ski.

“We had a great ski descent in spring snow conditions. It was a great day.”

While still in grade school, in Shropshire, England, Lewis recalls studying Sir Edmund Hillary’s historic as-cent of Mt. Everest in 1953.

Lewis’ hometown is situated near the Welsh border and, as a young boy, he frequented the wild and untamed Welsh highlands, after being inspired by the first man to summit the world’s tallest moun-tain peak.

“I cut my teeth, so to speak, on those mountains in Northern Wales.”

At the age of 20 and after climbing a major-ity of the United King-dom’s tallest peaks,

Lewis moved to the Austrian/Swiss Alps to live and work as a mountain guide.

He spent most of his spare time climb-ing the classic routes in the Alps such as Eiger, Matterhorn, Jungfrau and ski-mountaineer-ing in his lace-up ski boots and wooden skis.

“It was a great time to be in the Alps, there weren’t as many peo-ple off the beaten track as there are now.”

After summiting most of the Alps in only seven years, Lew-is set off on an over-land journey to Paki-stan where he trekked the Hindu Kush, sum-miting peaks as tall as 5,000m, before travel-ling to Australia and New Zealand.

“I was always drawn to Australia, it’s such an attractive country and the climbing I did there was fantastic.”

In New Zealand he worked as a mountain guide at Mt. Cook and Westland National Parks. There, in 1970, Lewis teamed up with an old Swiss climbing friend to do the first tra-verse of the Mt. Cook range – a ten-day clas-sic ridge climb.

Of the countless treks Lewis has done throughout his more than 60 years of moun-taineering, the Mt. Cook traverse remains Lewis’ most memo-rable trek.

“It was a ridge walk, like waking on a knifes edge. I’ll never forget seeing the sun rise in one ocean and then watching it set in an-other.”

While in New Zea-land, Lewis met his future wife Judy, who was climbing in the Southern Alps and eventually came to live in Canada.

Lewis followed Judy to Canada, and since settling in Salmon Arm, Lewis and his wife became active members of the Alpine Club of Canada trek-king in the Selkirk and Rocky mountains.

Lewis says he has slowed down in recent years but still manages to get out when he can because of his love for the outdoors.

“I never use the term conquer – I don’t climb to ‘defeat’ a mountain but to enjoy the simple experience of being out in the natural and beautiful environment

that these wild places offer.”

For the love of the outdoors

There’s magic afoot at Caravan Farm Theatre.That’s four feet belonging to a magical mare

that lives in a forest adjoining a small town much like Salmon Arm.

Many of the residents believe in a legend that a blind horse haunts the woods.

“If you look at it, you’ll be cursed,” says artistic director Courtenay Dobbie of Caravan’s summer production, The Night’s Mare. “So nobody wants to look at her, and those that have, swear they have been cursed.”

But not everyone buys into the legend.Buck, a horse trainer, believes the horse is

very real.A newly minted high school grad, his daugh-

ter Flo, is chomping at the bit to head to Las Vegas to attend magic school.

And while his wife thinks Flo should begin her grand adventure, Buck wants her to stay on the ranch and help him with the horses.

On the very night she is supposed to leave, a famous Hollywood couple, Jen and Ryan, ar-rive.

Theatrical royalty à la Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt, Jen and Ryan are in town to consult with Buck because they have heard he has been track-ing the magical mare.

Doing research for a movie, the couple ask Buck to take them in search of the mare.

But they have some baggage to deal with � rst in their nine-year-old, wilful daughter.

“She is a complete handful, out of control, with a wild imagination and old beyond her years,” says Dobbie, who is directing The Night’s Mare. “They enlist Flo to babysit her while Buck ac-companies the actors into the woods.”

In no time at all, Allie-Anne escapes and heads into the forest on her own.

The second act of this family friendly produc-tion sees Flo searching for her charge as her fa-ther and the others track the mare.

There in the magical forest, themes unfold about belief versus non-belief.

“It’s about believing in magic, something big-ger than yourself, and friendship between the two girls,” says Dobbie, noting a very strong bond grows between Flo and Allie-Anne and

with the magical mare who, it is discovered, is searching for her rider.

“The whole town say she is a horri� c sight, but at the end you see how beautiful she is, and not what others have made her out to be,” Dobbie says. “Flo is a pure soul so she forms a special connection with the horse.”

The mare in the production is a blind, male appaloosa, who lost his eyes to moon blindness, a condition in which the immune system attacks the eyes, three years ago.

But 15-year-old Endo, copes very well, says his trainer Morgan Wagner.

Located through friends, the blind horse and trainer re-cently arrived from their home in Corvallis, Ore. and have begun rehearsals for Endo’s starring role.

Despite losing his sight, the appaloosa continues to com-pete with sighted horses in working equitation competi-tions.

On the two-legged bill, actors new to Caravan Farm Theatre hail from Vancouver, Toronto and Ottawa. Three actors who appeared in last summer’s production are back

for another bow – Sarah May Redmond, Lucy Hill and Daniel Maslany.

As well as acting, Maslany appears as a mem-ber of a country band that will perform “blue-grass-inspired country folk” similar to Caravan Farm cookshack jams that often break out.

Behind-the-scene artists who create the mood and atmosphere include set designer Jimbo, cos-tume design Alex Schon from Tappen, lighting designer Conor Moore, props designer Christie Watson and musical director Mishelle Cuttler.

The play was written by Vancouver play-wright Kevin Kerr, who teaches playwrighting and screenplay at UVic and is a member of the Electric Company Theatre.

The Night’s Mare opens July 21 and runs to Aug. 23 rain or shine nightly at 7:30. Tickets are less expensive during the � rst week and Tues-days are pay what you can. There are no shows on Monday.


Getting acquainted: Caravan Farm Theatre artistic director Courtenay Dobbie prepares to rehearse with 15-year-old Endo and his trainer Morgan Wagner.

All aboard!It is a command most

people take for granted.But the significance

of the railway to the development of West-ern Canada, including Salmon Arm and First Nations people is enor-mous.

That impact is re-vealed in The Train Stopped Here, a new exhibition in the mu-seum at R.J. Haney Heritage Village.

Some 60 people at-tended a special open-ing of the exhibition Friday evening, another stellar display by mu-seum curator Deborah Chapman.

With incredible at-tention to detail and what she calls an army of contributors – all of whom were acknowl-edged at the opening – Chapman has created a railway station that takes the viewer on a trip through the past.

Hear the tapping of the telegraph keys and imagine a station mas-ter sitting at his desk near a pot-belly stove. Try talking on an early portable telephone. Look at the then-fash-ionable portmanteaus, dining baskets, pho-tographs and a man-nequin wearing a First World War uniform.

Collectors George Alison, Jake Jacobson and Rosemary and Al-lan Wilson were re-sponsible for gathering many of the artifacts, Clive Bryson gave many of the old pho-tographs new life and Neil Sutcliffe wired the telegraph and tele-phone systems.

Military historian Harry Welton con-tributed the military significance and the Revelstoke Railway Museum filled in some of the gaps.

Marion Williams brought the equipment sounds to life while Dave Harper and Nor-ma Harisch received kudos for their artistic contributions.

Also receiving loud applause, accompanied by laughter, Dave Mar-tinuk was acknowl-

edged as being one of three Salmon Arm protestors to receive the “Trudeau salute” in 1982 as the then prime minister trav-elled through town on a train.

“Everyone here is somehow involved with the creation of this exhibit,” Chapman told the assembled crowd. “There many I would like to especially thank because this idea for an exhibit would have been stopped in its tracks without them.”

While everyone’s contribution was val-ued, new LED lights courtesy of the Shus-wap Community Foun-dation, which admin-isters the city’s grants in aid program, and reusable frames from the Salmar Association are two items that will benefit this and future exhibitions.

“The CPR is one of the reasons the settle-

ment of Salmon Arm came into being. It brought supplies and settlers. It took mail, produce and resources to markets and then men to war,” Chapman said, noting too, the changes that have taken place in railway service to Salmon Arm over the last century. “It was our community’s con-nection to the outside world.”

Representing he province, Shuswap MLA Greg Kyllo com-mended Chapman and staff for keeping his-tory alive and called the village and museum a local gem.

“When the Last Spike was driven a mere 70 kilometres east of here in 1885 at Craigellachie, there wasn’t much to Salmon Arm. It was populated by our First People, the Secwepemc and a few white fur trad-ers,” he said, noting more change came the following year when trans-continental ser-vice arrived the fol-lowing year. “It didn’t take long before new residents were sending fruit, vegetables and lumber to be sold in markets.”

While he joked about running away from residential school in Kamloops and riding the railway to Salmon Arm, well-known Nes-konlith Coun. Louis Thomas brought to mind the terrible con-

sequences of develop-ment to First Nations people.

That the gathering was taking place on First Nations land was formally recognized by Mayor Nancy Cooper, who called for aborigi-nals and non-aborigi-nals to work together.

Retired CPR em-ployee George Alison, who provided telegraph equipment from his private collection, was asked to cut the ribbon.

R.J. Haney Village is open Wednesday through Sunday from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Mar-jorie’s Tea Room is also open the same days from 10 a.m. un-til 4 p.m.

A highlight of sum-mer entertainment, the popular Villains and Vittles Dinner Theatre runs every Wednesday, Friday and Sunday evening in July and Au-gust. Reservations are a must and can be made by calling 250-832-5243.

Enjoy a family pio-neer outing from 8:30 a.m. to 2 p.m. on July 12. There will be games, a pie- eating contest, wagon rides, pioneer demonstra-tions, musical enter-tainment and more. Gate admission is adult $6, children 5-13 $4, children under four are free. Enjoy a delicious pancake breakfast for $6, barbecue lunch with all the fixings from $5.50.

Music to the ears: TD Canada representatives Ralph Segretto and Charlene Roddick (front left) give Salmon Arm Roots and Blues Festival volunteers and staff, including Bernd Hermanski, Corinne Faraguna, Brenda M’Clellan and Peter North, a reason to be on a high note, with a $40,000 sponsorship contribution for this year’s festival, and a commitment for another $40,000 next year.

Support for festival grows

Community backing for the salmon Arm roots and blues Festival is growing.

TD Canada Trust is sponsoring the festival to the tune of $40,000 this year with a commitment of another $40,000 next year and shuswap Con-struction Industry Professionals (sCIP) have anted up $100,000 to renovate a future home for much-needed office and storage space.

“We’re very excited to be involved with roots and blues,” says TD branch manager Charlene roddick. “We understand it’s important to the community and TD is committed to music endeav-ours across Canada.”

Newly arrived last year, roddick thoroughly en-joyed last year’s festival and is looking forward to attending again this year.

“I like that it is a festival that promotes the family, not just one segment,” she says. “It looks at young people, old people and everyone in between.”

sCIP president Tim Dunn says board members were unanimous and enthusiastic in supporting the festival.

salmon Arm Folk Music society chair Lody Kieken is thrilled with growing community sup-port.

“I’d like to thank TD for continued community-minded support of the festival,” he said. “They have been a main sponsor other than the city for the last couple of years and it makes it possible for us to do some long-range planning, knowing we have secure support.”

Kieken also offers thanks and kudos to sCIP’s contribution towards the estimated $200,000 total cost to renovate a building at the corner of Fifth Avenue and Fourth street sW.

“It’s wonderful and it will give us a sense of in-dependence too, which I think is good for the fes-tival,” he said.

Kieken’s enthusiasm is also growing over this year’s performers.

“I am totally looking forward to the royal southern brotherhood, a quintessential New or-leans funk band and I am excited about the stoog-es brass band,” he says. “I am also excited that there’s more world music here this year.”

Kieken says artistic director Peter North has re-sponded to comments regarding a lack of world music at last year’s festival.

“This is Peter’s first year of having developed the full program and the workshops and I am ex-cited about seeing what his vision is.”

Along with a top-notch slate of artists, North’s vision includes a raffle prize package that will have festival-lovers salivating.

“For music fans, this is a great prize and a great weekend being in san Francisco that has so long been a musical mecca,” he said of this year’s roots and blues raffle, with a grand prize of five days and nights in san Francisco for two during the Hardly strictly bluegrass Festival. It includes airfare, first-class accommodation and $1,000 U.s. cash.

“Hardly strictly bluegrass has been one of the top five music festivals in the U.s. for the last 15 years,” says North.

North is also grateful for community support, including the second prize Fender stratocaster electric guitar donated by Acorn Music and the third-place prize, a Norco mountain bike and ac-cessories. Fourth prize is a 2016 roots and blues vIP pass for two. raffle tickets are on sale now and are available at the festival office or Acorn Music.

Pick The Performer, is a new contest in which participants are invited to nominate their preferred performer. The performer with the most “likes” will be invited to perform at the 2016 festival.

This contest comes with small print: “Nomina-tions should be within reason! (i.e. We love the rolling stones but we cannot afford them. Keep your choices attainable).”

The person who nominates the winner will re-ceive a prize package that includes a five-day Twin Anchors Houseboat vacation, four rounds of golf on the salmon Arm Golf Club champion-ship course, two 2015 roots and blues Festival passes and an opportunity to meet the nominated performer.

And now for a bit of a mystery. Production man-ager David Gonella is looking for donations of jeans. Take ones you no longer want to the roots and blues office. The reason will be revealed later.

For the full lineup, information on tickets, con-tests and more, vistas www.rootsandblues.ca.
