changes are in the works for the Smartcentres shopping centre in Salmon Arm.

A Winners store and a dollarama at the site are getting closer to reality, while a third Salmon Arm Tim Hortons restaurant is projected for late next year.

city staff report that a building permit was issued for dollarama on Aug. 17, with a construction val-ue of approximately $1.18 million. Four days later, on Aug. 21, a building permit with a construction value of nearly $3 million was issued for Winners.

As for Tim Hortons, Kelly Moores, owner of the two existing Salmon Arm franchises, confirms that the plan is to put a Tim Hortons at Smartcentres likely in October or november of 2016.

“Things can change all the time so I wouldn’t say it’s a done deal yet,” he cautioned.

Moores says he predicts it will be a smaller store than the other two, with a double drive-thru, or two lanes of drive thru.

“It’ll just offer another alternative for customers on that end of town; because of the closeness to other retail, there will be a lot of evening business.”

He noted it will also be closer for people staying in cabins in areas such as the north Shuswap, and will cater to the industrial area on the west side of Salmon Arm.

He expects it will employ about the same number of staff as the other two Tim Hortons.

“We typically run with 30-plus employees per location.”

Sandra Kaiser, vice-president of corporate affairs for Smartcentres, also confirmed a Tim Hortons.

“Yes, Tim Hortons along with Winners and dol-larama will be tenants on our site. As soon as I have more precise timing of openings, I will let you know,” she stated Monday in an email.

New stores, third Tim Hortons to open

It appears to be a case of road rage gone horribly wrong.

Salmon Arm RcMP are inves-tigating an incident where a pe-destrian was struck by a vehicle on Aug. 21 at approximately 7:30 p.m.

The 30-year-old man was hit by a westbound vehicle on the Trans-canada Highway near 5th Street SW.

He was taken to hospital in serious condition and his current condition is not known.

Salmon Arm RcMP report the man was driving on lakeshore drive, paralleling a second ve-hicle that was eastbound on the Trans-canada Highway.

The man was reported to be

upset after having a horn honked at his vehicle by the driver of the second vehicle.

The driver of that second ve-hicle stopped at 5th Street SW on the Trans-canada Highway. upon seeing the vehicle stopped on the highway, the 30-year-old man stopped on lakeshore drive and got out of his vehicle.

Police believe, based on wit-ness accounts, that the man crossed the westbound lane of the highway on foot in an appar-ent attempt to confront the other driver.

While doing so, he was struck by a westbound vehicle.

The man was tended to at the scene by Bc Ambulance para-medics before he was trans-ported to Shuswap lake General Hospital.

RCMP are warning the public not to try and apprehend a suspect after a homeowner was injured in a confron-tation.

On Aug. 20 at 5:15 a.m., a man was seen lurking in a homeowner’s drive-way in the 1600 block of 3rd Street.

The man was wearing a balaclava and RCMP report it appeared that he might have been entering vehicles, although his exact intentions are un-known.

The homeowner confronted the sus-pect outside and the suspect sprayed him with bear spray.

The spray incapacitated the home-owner, who received medical assis-tance from B.C. Ambulance Service personnel. Meanwhile, police made patrols for the suspect, but were un-successful in locating him.

The homeowner was incapacitated for a time, but will likely suffer no long-term repercussions as a result of the spray.

The suspect was described as 5-feet, 9-inches tall, weighing approximately 160 lbs. He was wearing a backpack, green T-shirt and blue jeans, with his face concealed by the balaclava.

Staff Sgt. Scott West of the Salmon Arm RCMP urges the general public to call 911, and maybe yell at a would-be suspect from a safe distance from your home.

“Any case where you personally confront a would-be thief and enter into any kind of confrontation could end poorly for the innocent party,” he says. “Again, call 911 and make sure you preserve your safety.”

Police also suggest taking all valu-ables out of your vehicle at night, as even coins in the cup holder could be all the reason a thief needs to target your vehicle. If anyone has informa-tion on the crime, call the Salmon Arm RCMP at 250-832-6044, or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477 to leave an anonymous tip.

Homeowner pepper sprayed by suspect

Firefighters save residence

Quick action by the Tappen Sunnybrae Fire Department prevented the loss of a home and shop on Ford Road on Monday evening.

At 4:19 p.m., the call came in that a tree had blown onto a hydro line and the resulting sparks ignited a forested area.

Seventeen firefight-ers responded and were able to put water on the blaze right away; how-ever, due to the gusty

winds, other fire depart-ments were called as back up.

“Then Mother Na-ture helped us out. Just as we got water on the fire, the wind died down,” says Fire Chief Kyle Schneider.

This enabled the fire-fighters to get a handle on the blaze, and then they dug a fire guard around the nearby home and shop. The fire came within 10 feet of the shop before it was contained.

Firefighters then sprayed the area with a special foam to keep the area moist and help prevent any hot spots from flaring up.

The homeowner and his dog were outside the residence when the fire department arrived, but the man was wor-ried for his cats inside.

“The firefighters worked their butts off. I’m very impressed… The homeowner sure was lucky,” Schneider says.

Wildly fluctuating estimates of the summer sockeye run seemed to stabilize last week.

As of Friday, Aug. 14, test fishing and DNA evidence used to identify the sockeye’s desti-nation bumped projections up from 1.15 million to 1.5 million.

That may not seem like much, but that’s 350,000 fish – about a 30 per cent increase, notes Stu Cartwright, acting area director of federal Fisheries and Oceans Canada for the B.C. Interior.

He said test fisheries in marine areas since Aug. 14 have shown steady, decent numbers.

“They’re not the numbers that will get us out of the hole and have people doing the hap-py dance, but we seem to have found a stable area where the run size isn’t going down,” he said, noting estimating returns depends on a number of vari-ables. “We’re not happy; we’d like to see the run back up over the two million range.”

Cartwright says some se-nior Pacific Salmon Commis-sion members are thinking that, based on information gathered from the test fisheries, the tim-ing of the summer stocks may

be as late as two weeks. A test fishery at Johnstone Strait on Aug. 18 indicated between 78 and 81 per cent of the salmon were still summer-run sockeye.

Late-run stocks were only making up 11 per cent of sock-eye observed in test runs.

The Shuswap has a number of sockeye groupings, early sum-mers that head to Scotch Creek and the Seymour River, usually from late July to mid August, followed by another group that comes in from early- to mid-August.

The late sockeye run normally begins in late August and con-tinues through September, with the fish heading home to Adams River, Shuswap Lake and Eagle River.

Numbers of late-run sock-eye are not expected to amount to much this first year after the 2014 dominant run on the Ad-ams River.

Meanwhile, the first late sum-mer sockeye reached the Scotch Creek fence on Monday, Aug. 17, eight days after the fence was installed.

Fish have been moving through since Monday and some have been observed gathering in big Shuswap Lake off the mouth of Scotch Creek.

Thanks to shorter days and longer nights, water tempera-tures in the Shuswap were more favourable, having dropped from highs of 18C to a cooler 14 to 16 last week.

But water temperatures re-mained dangerously high on the Fraser River. On Aug. 20, the temperature just above Hope was 19.6C, fully 1.5C above the average historical 18.1 tempera-ture for the date.

“The forecast for Fraser River temperatures is to go up slight-ly,” said Cartwright last Thurs-day, noting warmer water from the Thompson River was raising temperatures in the Fraser below the confluence by close to one degree.

Meanwhile, lower-than-nor-mal water levels are an issue on the Salmon River, where chi-nook will soon be attempting to find their way to their spawning grounds.

The delta branches out instead of flowing through one channel, says Cartwright. Sand and silt fill in and the fish have an almost impossible task of getting over a resulting berm.

It’s hoped rains will make this easier when the bulk of the chi-nook run comes through in Sep-tember.

Salmon: This year’s sockeye run is not predicted to reach high numbers as it is a non-dominant year and hot weather is impacting the health of the fish.

It is the court of last resort, but Columbia Shuswap Regional Dis-trict directors want staff to pursue the subject of high-powered cigar boats on Shuswap and Mara lakes with Trans-port Canada.

The subject was a late-agenda item at the board’s Aug. 20 on-the-road meeting in Golden.

Planner Jan Thingsted described cigarette, cigar boats and wake boats, and advised directors that the regional district has had a notable increase in the number of complaints about cigar boats and races.

He said the com-plaints come primarily from waterfront own-ers and other lake users in regard to noise and speed.

Thingsted said the CSRD had adopted the Shuswap Marine Noise Control Programme in 1982 to control marine noise on specified wa-ter bodies in the Shus-wap by prohibiting vessels from operating without conventional wet exhaust systems or suitable mufflers.

“The enforcement of this bylaw has proven to be very difficult since the CSRD lacks the required technical capability, enforcement capacity and more im-portantly, the jurisdic-tional authority,” wrote Thingsted in his report to the board, noting CSRD bylaw enforce-ment officers don’t have a boat capable of intercepting these boats and have no authority to board vessels for in-spection.

Vessel operation re-striction regulations (VORR) are a responsi-bility of Transport Can-ada and are established under the Canada Ship-ping Act.

Any level of govern-ment can request the federal government to restrict the use of ves-sels on all bodies of wa-ter in Canada pertaining to prohibition, engine power or propulsion, speed limits, towing, sporting or recreational activity including wake boat surfing or prohib-iting a sporting, recre-ational or public event or activity.

However, “Trans-port Canada considers VORRs to be the last resort for solving prob-lems and are only to be requested when all other non-regulatory approaches have been tried,” reads Thing-sted’s report, noting Transport Canada em-phasizes: “Meaningful stakeholder consulta-tion is a key component when pursuing a VORR and must be properly documented to be con-sidered in the applica-tion package that Trans-port Canada reviews.”

But, after consider-able discussion, board members directed staff to investigate the devel-opment of vessel opera-tion restrictions.

At Salmon Arm Council’s Aug. 24 meeting, Coun. Chad Eliason, a city repre-sentative on the CSRD, was asked about the choice to regulate speed, not sound.

Eliason said many other noise generators on the lake would have to be considered, such as houseboats.

Coun. Kevin Flynn noted that one cigar

boat is not necessarily a problem, but when four go by at 8 a.m., as he noticed them doing

recently, it’s dangerous, just as vehicles drag-racing on the highway are.

COUNCIL

Notes

Cyclocross to goSalmon Arm council has given its unanimous permission for the Shuswap Cycling Club to hold its third annual Shuswap Cross Cyclocross Race in Klahani Park. The event, which is one of eight races in the Interior Cyclocross Series, will take place Oct. 18. Coun. Chad Eliason championed the event, stating where there have been issues in the past, organizers have worked to mitigate them. During one event tire marks were left on a ball diamond but that has since been remedied. Mayor Nancy Cooper noted such events contribute to a healthy lifestyle.

Marina lease four yearsThe city won’t be able to renew its 30-year aquatic lease from the province of the marina and wharf in Salmon Arm Bay for a long term. The lease expires Aug. 31, 2017 and council was informed the province would extend the current lease for only four years. In early 2015, when council asked staff to develop a request for proposals for lease, sub-lease and operation of the marina, it attempted to pro-actively renew the lease for another 30 years. Instead, the four-year extension will allow five years to offer a sub-lease to the successful proponent. Council members stated they will need to pay attention to the situation. Coun. Kevin Flynn pointed out that as a boater, water levels there are drop-ping – levels which are being exacerbated by extremely dry weather. “Maybe that’s why they’re only giving us four more years.”

Final approval for daycareCity council gave final reading Monday to rezoning of a property at 1170 22 St. NE that will facilitate the creation of a daycare centre. The .19 hectare parcel has been rezoned from R1, single family residential, to C6, tourist-recreation commercial zone.

What type of photo really represents Salm-on Arm?

That’s one of the questions that’s been pondered as the Down-town Salmon Arm board and manager Lindsay Wong decide on how best to adorn three BC Hydro utility boxes.

Neighbouring mu-nicipalities in the North Okanagan have ad-opted fruit and other themes to wrap the oth-erwise plain boxes. For example, apples adorn utility boxes in Kelow-na, while Penticton has used historical images on some.

Wong came to city council on Monday to request a letter of sup-port from council. She explained permission was requested from BC Hydro to wrap six box-es, as a start to a bigger program, but permis-sion was given for three at this time.

Seven of local pho-tographer Victoria Haack’s images have been chosen as possi-bilities. They include two of farmer’s fields, two of cows, one of a spawning salmon, one a panoramic view of Shuswap Lake and one of a woman with a col-

ourful umbrella on the snowy foreshore trail.

Council members were unanimous in

their support of the plan.

Wong will now con-sult with High Impact Signs regarding which photos will lend them-selves best to wrap-ping.

The chosen boxes are by Askew’s Foods at the intersection of Lakeshore and Shus-wap, as well as two on Hudson Avenue – one by Shuswap Theatre and the other across the street by the Salmar Grand.

Editorial

Be calm and drive on.That common catch phrase should be

adapted to all drivers when they get behind the wheel.

One cannot help but shake their head at this week’s front page story, where it appears a case of poor anger management resulted in a very serious consequence.

A man, apparently frustrated at being honked at by another driver, followed this driver until he saw the vehicle come to a stop. At that point he got out of his car and attempted to cross the busy Trans-Canada Highway on foot for some type of confronta-tion. It ended badly. The man was struck by

an oncoming car in the westbound lane. While we do not know the man’s exact

intentions, we do know this – sparking an angry confrontation with another driver is never a good idea.

If there has been some type of egregious driving error that puts others at risk, the best course of action is to make a call to the RCMP. Drivers make mistakes. This can be frustrating to the others who share the road, but this is where a little self-control should come into play.

Take a deep breath, mutter a few choice words under your breath if you must, but don’t put yourself or others at risk of harm.

Keep your cool behind the wheel

A smorg of a columnSome weeks its easy to write a column on a single topic, sort

of a full course meal on a single item, but this week is going to be more of a buffet – a little of this and a little of that.

I wanted to send a shout out to Christie Fiebelkorn, who was the City of Salmon Arm’s summer bylaw enforcement intern for the second year running. I was driving downtown on Husdon Av-enue near the post office the other week and noticed Fiebelkorn, in uniform, enthusiastically pushing a disabled woman in a mo-torized wheelchair up the sidewalk. It was clear this was a very heavy contraption and apparently the battery power couldn’t cope with the hill. So Fiebelkorn jumped in and pushed the woman’s wheelchair until the battery was recharged.

While her term in parking enforcement is now complete, I thought she deserved special recognition. That is not always a pleasant job, and Fiebelkorn took her share of abuse, including being called some of the worst profanity the English language has to offer. No one likes a parking ticket, but that doesn’t give anyone the right to be abusive.

In gloomier news on the parking front, the free parking in the lot adjacent to the Salmar Grand Theatre comes to an end at the end of August. This means many downtown employees will go back to playing parking ticket roulette in order to save some cash.

Development permits have been issued for the new Winners and Dollarama stores to add to the Smart Centres development adjacent to Wal Mart.

While new retail options are appreciated by many, what is with this town and duplication of the retail marketplace? We seem to be overpopulated with dollar stores, spas and pet stores in par-ticular. In my opinion, if someone is looking for a new business venture, what we really need is a shoe store that offers some af-fordable, quality options for kids. Winners may offer some shoe selection but, in my experience, it’s hit-and-miss on sizes and se-lection for the younger set. Hauling three kids out of town to buy shoes is not this mom’s favourite thing to do.

It appears the Roots & Blues Festival has weathered the worst of a financial storm, having lost money the previous year. The Salmon Arm Folk Music Society came up with quite a few cre-ative ways to cut costs, and reducing the number of stages (and thereby the costs associated with performers, sound equipment, etc.) was a good call.

There was still plenty of choice for festival-goers and some people even remarked to me that they found it good to have so many of the performers doing more than one show, because if you missed one performance, you could catch up with another.

While the final figures haven’t been compiled, and while Mother Nature was a bit unkind for Friday evening’s attendance, I’m hearing a collective sigh of relief. The show will go on.

The whole week-end was fabulous! I would never miss Roots and Blues as there are so many

new experiences each year. Kudos to the organizers for improved stage venues, a wider va-

riety of food booths and vendors, better placement of mer-chandise and music tent and very im-portantly... separate gender biffies!

The bad line-up was the factor for me.

Cover bands and country music is not the Roots and Blues I remember. Maybe next year.

comments from saobserver.net

Ray Novak, head of the Prime Minister’s Office, appears to have lied to the RCMP about his knowledge of the $90,000 cheque to pay for Senator Duffy’s ques-tionable expenses.

This is the implication of a statement given to the RCMP by UBC professor of law, Ben Perrin, the former legal counsel to the PMO. Since Professor Perrin has now confirmed his police state-ment under oath in the Ot-

tawa courtroom where the Duffy trial is taking place, there will be renewed de-mands for the resignation of Novak from the PMO.

Despite court testimony and email evidence from the Duffy trial, Prime Minister Stephen Harper continues to assert that Novak did not know.

As the second most pow-erful person in the federal political system, one might think that Ray Novak would

feel duty bound to address the media directly but in-stead he hides and will not speak for himself.

By refusing to remove this dishonest coward from his position of power, the main political issue in this elec-tion campaign has become the credibility of the present Prime Minister of Canada –not just the loss of trust in his judgement.

On a recent drive through the B.C. Inte-rior, I passed through McLure and Barri-ere, communities north of Kamloops that were devastated by wildfire in 2003.

While these communities have recov-ered, blackened tree trunks are still vis-ible where fires burned for 75 days and forced the evacuation of 3,800 people.

With the early start to this year’s fire season, the media attention and effects of an unusual spring drought, you might think that B.C. is on pace to match that terrible summer.

You would be wrong. As of last week, area burned and money spent by the B.C. Wildfire Service had only just exceeded the totals for mid-August during last summer’s fire season, which were high but not remarkable.

The number of individual fires is high-er this year, but that’s mostly a result of lightning storm patterns. Spending has topped $200 million, as it did last year at this time before finishing just below $300 million. The 2003 total was above $400 million, and the 2009 season was slightly below that.

Forests Minister Steve Thomson cau-tions that there are still many weeks to go and hot, dry conditions are expected for much of that. Once the damage is done for the year, the ministry reviews the im-pact on forests and begins assessment of which areas should be replanted and which should be left to regenerate natu-rally.

Pine forests need fire to regenerate, and the strategy in recent years has been to allow fires to burn out naturally and con-tain them to protect people and property. Decades of fire suppression, based on viewing Crown forests strictly as a timber resource, helped create conditions for the beetle epidemic that has left vast quanti-ties of dead wood to fuel more fires.

The 2003 fire season set the tone for

political debate on forest fire policy that has continued since then. The opposition points to recommendations from former Manitoba premier Gary Filmon that re-moving fuel from around communities is the best protection.

This task has proven impossibly big, especially as rural community tax bases shrink, but the ideological dance contin-ues in Victoria. The NDP campaigned in 2013 on a promise to double tree plant-ing, and its general approach is to spend more money and hire more staff.

Speaking of political dances, Premier Christy Clark has made a couple of ap-pearances at fire sites where homes and businesses have been threatened or de-stroyed.

(Today’s big-city media formula is to emphasize danger and promote attacks on premiers of all stripes. If they don’t visit disasters, they are callous and uncar-ing. If they do, they’re exploiting the situ-ation for photo ops.)

In her first fire scene appearance this summer, Clark warned that drought and huge fires may be “the new normal” for B.C. as climate warms and shifts. This is great positioning for the government’s plan to attend the latest global climate doom festival in Paris this fall, but it’s not borne out by recent forest fire results.

In terms of dollars spent and area burned, the years 2010, 2011, 2012 and 2013 were all well below average. Last year and 2009 were substantially above average, but 2008 and 2013 were among the quietest years on record.

Is drought the “new normal” too? The B.C. government’s own climate change forecast is for increasing overall pre-cipitation, albeit with more rain and less snow.

Snowpacks for southern B.C. were in-deed the lowest on record this past winter, but that record only goes back 31 years. And when were high snowfall records last broken? That would be 2011.

Is the province really burning? Not exactly

A question of credibility

Cigar boats not the problemI agree that cigar boats are

not a problem on Shuswap Lake as they create very mini-mal wake which causes less environmental damage to the shoreline.

Also a little common sense needs to be taken when these

boats use the higher speeds.As I see it, the wake board

boats are the problem and the wake from these boats is very hard on the shoreline as well as other boaters just floating enjoying the calmness of the lake.

Again, common sense would tell you to boat out in the middle of the lake and avoid other boats that are sta-tionary.

Tourism needs to be supportedI am so glad someone

wrote in about the city do-ing more for tourism; I agree with her comments and would like to add a few more.

We have lived here for 10 years and love the area and have been welcomed by the community.

I heard we were going to

get a new Visitor informa-tion Centre at the entrance of 10th Avenue from the Trans-Canada Highway.

This could include anoth-er dump site and a much de-served access to a very nice centre. With this great plan and such a good spot, hope-fully the city will get this off the ground very soon.

And to some of our resi-dents: I’ve heard people say some discourteous com-ments about our visitors out loud in public. (For example: When can we get our town back?)

Not nice!

Nathan Pawluck has logged about 30 hours flying time over the past five months though his feet haven’t left the ground.

The Shuswap-based photog-rapher/videographer has been capturing the region in one form or another since he start-ed making films as a Salmon Arm Secondary student. But recently he’s taken his craft to new heights through the use of a quadcopter, a DJI Phan-tom. Using the technology, Pawluck has been able to view and film the Shuswap in a way he’s never done before.

“The first day I took it out, I was flying over Shuswap Lake and I was shaking be-cause it was so exciting,” said Pawluck. “The footage com-ing back was so amazing. My wife was standing beside me and I was like, ‘This is amaz-ing!’”

Pawluck has since shared that excitement with thousands of others with a four-minute, 11-second video entitled Soa-rin’ Over the Shuswap (avail-able on YouTube). The video is a collection of various aer-ial-shot vistas throughout the area, an homage of sorts for the place Pawluck and many others proudly call home.

“I’ve heard stories – people telling me they’ve cried watch-ing it, which is cool to hear…,” said Pawluck. “They’re just so moved that they get to live here, they get to live in the Shuswap, and that they have lived here many years.”

Currently, Pawluck is work-ing on extending the video to a 15-minute short, complete with music scored from local talent. His hope is to get it on the big screen in Salmon Arm, like a video art exhibit, free for the public to attend.

“We’ll do maybe three to

four nights where we show the video four times a night because it’s 15 minutes, and there’ll maybe be a front-end where I’m explaining how it was shot and maybe show-ing the drone, not flying, just showing it off and (talking about) kind of my vision and passion behind it…,” said Pawluck, thinking aloud. “And in the lobby we’ll have photos and stills from the drone too.”

Not surprisingly, the mak-ing of the film has involved a learning curve, both in terms of technical ability and legal understanding. With the for-mer, Pawluck said one thing that’s important to understand – and accept – is the likelihood the quadcopter will crash.

“People go into it and they’re very upset when it crashes but it’s going to hap-pen” said Pawluck. “So long as you know that and you’re wise… You’ve got to know your surroundings.”

Having a spotter, someone to keep their eyes on the cop-ter, can help to prevent un-wanted incidents.

“They would be looking to

make sure I’m not going to hit something, so I can focus on what I’m capturing cinemati-cally,” says Pawluck.

The legalities of quadcopter use are laid out by Transport Canada. They cover both rec-reational and commercial us-ers. Pawluck said that initially, he hadn’t considered regula-tions might exist, as quadcop-ters are typically marketed for recreational use.

“I thought of it more as a toy, which it’s not…, It’s a tool that can be dangerous if not con-trolled well,” said Pawluck.

Liability insurance is one of numerous requirements to fly a quadcopter without permis-sion from Transport Canada. A Special Flight Operations Certificate is required to le-gally fly a quadcopter weigh-ing more than 35 kilograms. Many of the do’s and don’ts prescribed by Transport Cana-da revolve around respect and common sense.

“With anything, you need to be responsible and wise with it,” says Pawluck of pilot-ing a quadcopter. “I think the problem with people is just be-

cause you can, doesn’t mean you necessarily should with a new toy.

“People just need to be re-sponsible and smart, or they’re going to ruin it… for people who actually are using it in a way that it was meant to be used, not to spy on people or disturb fires or to run into things.”

Pawluck says he’s planning to seek local sponsorship for Soarin’ Over the Shuswap, with the hope the community will take ownership of it and use it to help promote the re-gion. He knows from how it’s been shared through social media that it has already made inroads in Alberta.

“It was shared, which means people reposted it on their Facebook wall to show their friends a thousand times,” said Pawluck. “And most of them said, ‘Hey, look, this is my hometown, this is where I get to live… It’s kind of showing off – telling their Al-berta friends. Like some peo-ple typed, ‘Hey, my Alberta friends, check this out!’ It’s awesome!”

1925 Members of the Fish and Game Protective Association are reminded to get their membership tickets early this year. They can be obtained from either Rex Lingford or Geo Shirley.

1935 Delightful summer weath-er has prevailed during the past week, with daytime temperatures reaching as high at 83 degrees, but the night temperatures show that autumn is just around the corner. In some parts down in the valley, there has been frost, and vegetables have been blackened.Mrs. Greenwood, Broadview Road, returned home on Sunday night by car after spend-ing a holiday at Nakusp. Mr. Ted Green-wood, who drove the car, reports that there are ninety miles of very poor road, narrow in places rough track, and full of tortuous switch backs.

1945 Lieut. (N.S) Audrey Suckling has returned from service overseas as a Canadian Army nurse and is visiting her mother, Mrs. A.P. Suckling.At the Valley Women’s Institute’s annual flower show held last Saturday, Mrs. M. Matson was prevailed upon, at the dinner which preceded the show, to serve the apple pie which won her first place. Modestly she denied possessing any particular pie-making skills, and added that the pie which eventu-ally won the blue ribbon had earlier been refused by the threshing crew, but the editor, who was given the privilege of enjoying a generous slice, attests to the complete lack of judgment, at least when it comes to pies, of the threshing crew, for which he is most grateful.

1955 Lightning struck the home of Mr. and Mrs. F. Herrick, Blind Bay, and started a fire in a radio early last Monday morning. Mrs. Herrick was alone in the house at the time and, hearing a noise in the front room immediately after a peal of thunder, she investigated and found the radio aflame. She managed to extinguish the blaze with a couple of pails of water before any damage was done to the house.

A direction in mindLiberal candidate for the North Okanagan-Shuswap, Cindy Derkaz, revs up her supporters during the grand opening of her Salmon Arm office in the Old Courthouse building on Wednesday, Aug. 19. Derkaz said more than 14,000 people in the riding are now supporting her run for change, and Liberal leader Justin Trudeau may soon be paying Salmon Arm a visit (with all fingers up) to help with the effort.

Federal election can-didates will need to think on their feet dur-ing the salmon Arm All Candidates Forum hosted by the salmon Arm Chamber of Com-merce.

While each can-didate will be given a chance to craft an

opening and closing statement, much of the time will be devoted to public questions that the candidates will not have heard beforehand.

That being said, there will not be an open microphone for those in attendance to ask questions; instead,

the chamber is accept-ing questions from the public.

The questions will be compiled into cat-egories and condensed into as succinct a for-mat as possible. The chamber board will review and select the questions based on all

the submissions re-ceived.

Questions can be submitted online at www.sachamber.bc.ca.

The candidates fo-rum will take place on Thursday, sept. 17 at the sAsCU recreation Centre auditorium from 6 to 8 p.m.

Citizens can submit election questions

Second Harvest Food Bank is looking for some good pickers.

With so many people relying on food banks, Second Harvest co-or-dinator Diana Mangold doesn’t want to see any fruit or vegetables go-ing to waste.

Acknowledging that some service groups are already onboard, Mangold has issued a request for other groups, be they young or not-so-young, to help with this year’s picking until the season ends in October.

“If there’s a big group, it only takes an hour to pick instead of two or three or four,” says Mangold, noting Cub Scouts, Brown-ies, Lady Striders and Rotarians have helped before. “Maybe they’d like to come out as a group one day; every-body who goes out has fun and we have fun and it’s great.”

Individual volunteers are welcome as well and are added to a list and contacted by phone

when there is a need for their help.

Daybreak Rotary has been growing and pick-ing veggies for Second Harvest, The Salvation Army Food Bank and the SAFE Society for four years.

Wanting to do some-thing for the commu-nity, one of the care groups at Five Corners Pentecostal Church be-gan growing vegetables for Second Harvest this year on a donated space about 80 by 80 feet.

One of the vendors at the local Farmers’ Market also donates produce at the end of the markets on Tues-days and Thursdays. Mangold says the Pres-byterian Church and other private individu-als have also grown produce for Second Harvest.

If you or your group are interested, call 250-833-4011 to leave a message or email [email protected].

It’s a relationship that has now encompassed a generation.

This year the twin-ning between Salmon Arm and Inashiki, Ja-pan marks 25 years, with a contingent from Japan visiting the city last week as part of the long-running exchange program.

The relationship be-gan in 1989 through the efforts of Chris Fili-atrault, who is fluent in Japanese and has a Japanese wife and three children.

“I wanted to foster re-lations between our two countries. That might sound like a lofty goal, but it was something I believe in,” says Fili-atrault. “Now more than 1,000 people have gone back and forth between our two communities.”

When the exchange began, it was with a place known as Azuma Mura – mura means village in Japanese. Over time, the area grew and was re-named Azuma Machi, which means town. Then later, an amalgamation cre-ated the city of Inashiki.

Like Salmon Arm, the area has its roots in agriculture. Its prime industry is rice growing.

The similar size and background of the two communities was part of what brought them together. Filiatrault flew to Japan in 1989 and met with then Mayor Naruke and a partner-ship was devised. A short time later, Salmon Arm Mayor Dick Smith also visited Japan and the official twinning agreement was signed. The partnership in Salmon Arm has been strongly supported by both the city and School District #83.

Now, the partnership has come full circle with one of the first Japanese high school students to visit Salmon Arm in the first exchange trip now sending her son to participate in the same cross-cultural experi-ence.

“It’s very satisfying to see how the pro-gram has created these bonds,” says Filiatrault, who notes Inashiki also has a robust twinning committee designed to keep the exchange vibrant. “For some kids, it has been a life-changing experience to see a culture and a place they never knew ex-isted. That’s what really keeps me going.”

A number of students from here have gone on to make their own trips

to Japan and have kept in touch with their host families. Others have even moved to Japan to teach English.

The program has been given a significant boost by the creation of the Japanese language program at Salmon Arm Secondary.

While Japanese stu-dents learn English in school beginning in Grade 6, there was no counterpart in Salmon Arm until then-super-intendent Doug Pearson and teacher Pam Chu-diak brought the elec-tive to the school.

“It was a huge boost to support the twinning program,” Filiatrault says, noting the Salmon Arm students are anx-ious to use their lan-guage skills when they make their trip to Japan.

The most visible symbol of the endur-ing relationship is the Friendship Gate in Mc-Guire Lake Park, which was built in 1998 to commemorate the rela-tionship. Filiatrault says this is one of the most special legacies of the twinning.

This year’s trip hosted a young student whose grandfather was one of the carpenters from Ina-shiki who came over to construct the gate.

In Inashiki, Salmon

Arm contributed a log Friendship House, which is an open picnic structure adorned with First Nations art and is located beside a com-munity centre.

Filiatrault says anoth-er memorable moment with the twinning came with the Salmon Arm response to the Fuku-shima disaster in Japan. People in Inashiki were affected and students rallied to raise $3,000 to contribute to the relief efforts.

Filiatrault says it was a very difficult time in Japan and the contribu-tion was recognized in the Japanese city.

“It meant a lot to them that it was heartfelt and that we were thinking of them.”

While, due to eco-nomic circumstance, the exchange trips have been scaled back from every year to every other year, Filiatrault is confident the relation-ship will continue to flourish into the future. Another idea is to ex-pand the relationship by creating some eco-nomic opportunities between the two areas. This year, Inashiki has sent an economic de-velopment delegate to meet with Salmon Arm officials.

Filiatrault says the

exchange really helps to create friendships and goodwill.

He says the Japanese are always in awe of the space and scenery of Canada, not to mention the food portion sizes. And they love experi-encing things like rid-

ing horses, water-skiing and mountain climbing. Then the Canadian par-ticipants get a taste of the extreme hospitality of the Japanese, as well as the ancient temples and respectful culture.

“I always call the last day the River of Tears.

There’s always crying as the bus leaves and we have to pull the kids away from their host families,” Filiatrault says.

“You see the bond that develops in seven days. It’s a very special thing.”

Two young Shuswap Dance Center stu-dents turned down major ballet company invitations – at least for now.Studio owner and teacher Carolyn Wona-cott is delighted that 12-year-old Joshua Williams was not only accepted to the Na-tional Ballet Summer School in Toronto, he was accepted to the company’s year-round academic and dance program.“He has been dancing with me for seven years; he was one of my � rst students in Salmon Arm,” she says, noting the young dancer had also been accepted at Royal Winnipeg Ballet last year. “He turned the National Ballet down but is thinking about going next year.”At 11 years old, Mackennzie Mount was accepted to Royal Winnipeg Ballet’s sum-mer school and invited back for the year.“She declined because she is just a bit young to go. Probably in three or four years she would think of going, maybe for high school,” says Wonacott. “The thing about

going to the National or Winnipeg is the intensity; it’s a very elite environment, a lot of pressure. But it’s also very excit-ing, I think, if you’re looking at it for a career.”Wonacott says either company would be a stellar place in which to study.On the home front, Wonacott has just run a very successful sum-mer school of her own from Aug. 10 to 21.“We had full classes for both weeks, that’s 14 students both weeks,” she says. “For us that’s a full contingent because it’s an advanced summer school.”Kelowna Ballet dancer Desiree Bor-toluzzi taught ballet and ballet varia-tions during the � rst week.For the second week, Sarah Smith joined the teaching roster. Smith danced professionally in Los Angeles for 15 years, and per-formed for television and � lm –

including the Austin Power movies.“She was here to teach L.A. style jazz and jazz funk,” says Wonacott, “and was also giving the kids a class on how to audition

and how to negotiate the L.A. dance scene and get

work there.”W o n a c o t t

taught summer s e s s i o n c l a s s e s in ballet

and jazz, while Rae-lynn Heppell gave classes in musical theatre, char-

acter and tap and Sasha Byrnes

taught contempo-rary dance.Registration for the new dance year opens in Sep-

tember for three days – Thursday, Sept. 3 from 3 to 6 p.m. and Tuesday, Sept 8 and Wednesday, Sept. 9 from 4 to 7 p.m. at the studio at 590 Okanagan Ave. SE.Shuswap Dance Center offers ballet under the Imperial Society of Teachers of Dance (ISTD) curriculum, and also RAD (Rural Academy of Dance) curriculum, which are international standards.“We have an examiner who comes to test the dancers in the spring,” says Wonacott. “And we have ISTD modern dance exams as well, which includes contemporary and jazz.”Students can also take lessons in tap, hip-hop, lyrical and competition as well as Acro, which is a combination of dance and gymnastics.“We do three competitions per year and we do two shows – one at Christmas and one in June,” says Wonacott.For more information, call 250-833-5418 or 250-832-5258, visit www.shuswap-dance.com or drop in at the Dance Center on the registration dates.

Inspired by celebrity

Heather Janzen has a knack for brushes with celebrity.

The Shuswap art-ist has been painting for about eight years. But it’s only been in the past year or so that her home, particularly the living room, has become a gallery of music and Hollywood icons – famous por-traits of even more famous celebrities re-interpreted in oil on canvas (and wood).

Among these works are images of El-vis Presley, Marilyn Monroe, Aerosmith’s Steven Tyler, Alice Cooper, Johnny Cash, Madonna and Al Pac-ino in a moment from the film Scarface.

Janzen’s penchant for portraits is, in part, a reflection of her per-sonality and the people she admires.

“I’ve always liked Madonna. I’m a fan of hers. I’m into a little bit of shock value I think, if for the right reasons you know,” Janzen explained. “I’ve tried to get away from do-ing the portraits, but I always go back to them… maybe it’s be-cause I always wanted to be a rock star.”

That said, Janzen’s body of work consists of a variety of subjects and styles, done in oil, acrylic, charcoal and chalk. She’s also tried her hand at sculpting. However, it’s the oils that have drawn some recent attention.

Janzen had a few

works on show at this year’s Eagle Valley Brush and Palette Club Arts and Crafts Show at Sicamous’ Red Barn. While an abstract and a large galactic scene garnered plenty of at-tention, it was a small-

er oil portrait of Elvis that wound up leaving the building.

The painting, tex-tured to the point of be-ing almost thee-dimen-sional, sold early in the show – something Janzen is taking well, given the sacrifice in-volved.

“I miss that one, I just do. I get really at-tached,” said Janzen, laughing as she ex-

plains how her family is encouraging her to sell more of her work.

“That’s why I think I hang on to a lot of my paintings – I’ve only been painting since 2007 and I don’t know really how I do it. So I

was thinking it might be a fluke, so I tend to keep hanging on to them. But, as it turns out, I keep being able to paint them so it’s more than just a fluke.”

While largely self-taught, Janzen has seen her artistic abili-

ties broaden under the guidance of local art-ists Rebecca Shepherd and Lisa Figueroa. She also credits the Eagle Valley Brush and Palette Club, who she plans to paint with again soon.

Janzen says she’s had offers on the John-ny Cash and others. No sale yet though. For her, painting is more a form of therapy, through a process that, despite her experience to date, is still some-thing of a mystery.

“I really paint from my heart, and usually, when I’m painting… it doesn’t really make sense until the end, and it just kind of all pulls together for me, like in about the last five min-utes of the painting. It’s kind of neat,” said Janzen.

Sample yoga in the parkYou’re invited to

Peace in the Park. On Saturday, Aug.

29, the Salmon Arm Chamber of Com-merce, Downtown Salmon Arm and rep-resentatives 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 well-ness by participating in a morning yoga ses-sion, crystal singing bowl and meditation,” states a news release.

Jim Kimmerly, pres-

ident of the chamber, explains the yoga event is part of a plan to uti-lize beautiful Marine Park more often.

“The long-term goal is to create a real top-quality social gather-ing place,” he says. “If people have relatives in town, they’ll be able to say, ‘Let’s go to Ma-rine Park – there’s al-ways something going on.’”

The Aug. 29 event begins with a com-munity, all-level yoga class at 10 a.m. For those who are new to yoga, there will be a variety of poses and stretches geared to-wards all ages and levels of experience. The morning will fin-ish with crystal singing

bowls and the remain-ing time will be dedi-cated to meditation.

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

Peace in the Park is free, but participants are asked to consider

bringing a non-perish-able food donation for Second Harvest.

Also useful would be a yoga mat, sun protec-tion and water.

Visit www.sacham-ber.bc.ca, www.salmo-narmdowntown.com or any of the local yoga studios for more de-tails.

All ages event: The Peace in the Park event will offer a morning yoga session for all ages and abilities.

A lack of regular exercise can be

more harmful than previously thought

According to a study published in The Lancet in 2012, across the globe sedentary lifestyles are now causing as many deaths as smoking. Data indicates that a lack of physical activity is causing 5.3 million deaths per year and that the problem is so bad some believe it should be treated as a pandemic. Exercise can reduce rates of obesity, strengthen bones, help a person manage stress, and reduce a person’s risk for cardiovascular disease and diabetes.

Business

Pop of colour: Monique van Lindert rearranges floral offerings at her newly opened business, Pure Flowers.

lachlan labere/observer

Business blooms on Lakeshore

enter the serene atmosphere of Pure Flowers at 40 Lakeshore Drive.

owner Monique van Lindert favours simplicity and likes her world to be earthy, clean, fresh and open. built by husband Jan from birch wood harvested on the couple’s own property, Pure Flowers’ displays are natural – reminiscent of a forest.

employed in Askew’s Up-town floral department for three

years, van Lindert wanted to set her own pace and make her own decisions about her surround-ings and what she sells.

“I buy as much local as pos-sible and 80 per cent or more of the flowers are b.C. grown,” she says, noting she is very famil-iar with and often buys through the vancouver Flower Auction in burnaby, the second largest flower auction in the world.

“I buy twice a week from them and I buy locally from April to october,” says van Lindert, pointing out she does

not buy from wholesalers, so her flowers are always fresh.

she specializes in unique flo-ral arrangements with a europe-an flair, delivers in salmon Arm and can provide flowers for any event. As well, van Lindert car-ries several decor items with a wide range of prices.

“I wanted people to feel they could come in so I have some-thing for every budget.”

To order an arrangement, call 778-489-5110, fax 877-452-8944 or visit [email protected].
