Police nab charity scammer Arrest: Kelowna man also linked to reports of fraud in Salmon Arm.

By Tracy Hughes OBSeRVeR STAFF

A 22-year-old Kelowna man has been charged with multiple counts of fraud, theft, impersonation and using false pretenses after he was arrested in connection with a credit card skimming operation that took place in Kelowna, and may be linked to similar cases in Salmon Arm. On March 16 at 1:30 p.m., the Kelowna RcMP responded to a complaint of a possible fraud. A man wearing an Id card and stating that he was collecting donations on behalf of the Ronald Mcdonald House charity had apparently just taken money from a resident with the use of a portable debit device. The resident immediately phoned Ronald Mcdonald House and was advised that this was an ongoing scam. She provided police with a description and the suspect was taken into custody a short distance away. This story is strikingly similar to the reports from Salmon Arm. The man was identified as James Alexander Graham, who is known to police and remains in custody to appear in court on Tuesday, March 19. neighbourhood inquiries indicated that Graham had canvassed the area and there were further victims. Subsequent investigation also revealed that this may be the tip of the iceberg, with more than 47 victims in just a few days in both Kelowna and Salmon Arm. On the weekend of March 2 and 3, a number of residents in the lakeview Meadows subdivision were targeted. The scam continued into the next week at various locations in the city, with local RcMP issuing a public warning about the charity credit skimming scam. Graham has been charged with four counts each of fraud under $5,000, theft under $5,000, impersonation and using false pretences. More charges may be recommended pending further investigation. RcMP are advising people that may have been a victim of this scam to call the Salmon Arm detachment, and report any compromised credit cards to your financial institution.

City to add stop signs

Marine Park crossing: Safety concerns prompt intersection changes.

By Lachlan Labere OBSeRVeR STAFF

A new three-way intersection will be established at the Marine Park drive railway crossing in response to safety concerns raised by Transport canada. city council approved the intersection as recommended in a report by engineering and public works director Rob niewenhuizen. This will result in the placement of three new stop signs where Marine Park drive connects to lakeshore – one leaving Marine Park, another to the north-east side of Marine Park drive for

traffic coming into town, and the third directly across from Marine Park drive for traffic heading northeast up lakeshore. The three-way stop is one of four recommendations from a traffic impact analysis conducted by the city in response to a May 3, 2012 Rob letter of notice from TransNiewenhuizen port canada railway safety Public works inspector dennis Maskell. In the letter, Maskell raises a number of safety concerns witnessed

during a March 22, 2012 inspection of the intersection, including an “ever-present possibility of a vehicle being hit by one or more trains while trying to engage this T-intersection without the right of way,” adding there is “virtually no road storage capacity after the railway tracks for vehicles trying to access lakeshore drive.” niewenhuizen said the See Drivers on page A2

Drivers must stop on Lakeshore

Wednesday, March 20, 2013 Salmon Arm Observer

Continued from front only requirement of Transport Canada was to make the crossing safer, but this was a challenge nonetheless. He reiterated Maskell’s concern, stating the biggest issue is the limited distance between the tracks and the stop bar on Lakeshore and Marine Park Drive. “The reason why this will work is because on a three-way stop, there’s time,” said Niewenhuizen. “When people stop, there’s enough time to clear the intersection, and because Lakeshore is now being stopped, Marine Park will have the same amount of time to clear as the other vehicles being stopped. “So if there is a trailer parked across the tracks, they will have enough time to clear out before the arms will activate from the rail crossing.” Niewenhuizen said

It is also one of the least expensive, with mandatory improvements running at $3,000, and another $21,000 in recommended improvements. “This is the safest option we looked at,” said Niewenhuizen. “It will, unfortu-

nately, stop traffic on Lakeshore coming into town. So we have to have some mitigating factors in the beginning forewarning drivers, because that stretch on Lakeshore is almost an acceleration zone, as we found when we did the traffic counts and the speed bumps were in question.”

Included in the recommended improvements are a speed reader sign and pedestrian signage. Niewenhuizen said the existing crosswalks will stay where they are for the time being. The installation of the new stop signs is scheduled to take place at the end of May.

School district plans for cuts By Tracy Hughes OBSERVER STAFF

School district #83 trustees will be sharpening their pencils in preparation for the upcoming budget deliberations — as they will need to find ways to cover the projected $1.8 million shortfall. Secretary-Treasurer Sterling Olson reiterated the bad news at the March 12 budget meeting, noting the provincial budget outlined no new funds for education. This is coupled with the fact that this school district continues to face significant declining enrolment, which is expected to drop by another 240 students in the 2013-2014 school year. The school district is funded on a formula, based primarily, on the number of students attending. This means trustees will need to make reductions, potentially involving student services, as the lions’ share of the school district’s operating budget is allocated to salaries and benefits.

250-832-7192

The potential sale of eight properties considered surplus to school district needs is not a solution to the budget issue, as the revenue from such a sale can not be used to fund operating expenses. Should the properties be approved for sale by the ministry, and eventually sold, the revenue generated would be earmarked for capital expenditures only. As part of the budget process the board is asking the public to comment or make suggestions through their website at www. sd83.bc.ca, at the “comments to trustees” link. Chris Coers, board vice chair, noted the school district budget is complex and it may not be easy for parents or the public to come up with ideas for saving money, however the board is looking for input on what is important about the local school system. “Then we know what people want us to protect,” she said. The District Parent Advisory

Council (DPAC) is also encouraging parents to submit their ideas and opinions and has sent a letter to parents. “What would you like protected in our children’s education? What aspects are really working in the funding, what are lacking?” says Jennifer Cook, president of the DPAC. Cook’s letter points to a few areas of potential reductions, including a restructuring of the district’s education outreach and adult learning, which is funded at a deficit of more than $250,000. Declining enrolment also means the district will need approximately 10 fewer teachers, which would also reduce the budget. “…However, even with these reductions, the board needs to look at other cost saving measures, not only for 2013-2014, but into the next couple of years as well,” Cook writes. Public feedback on the budget will be accepted until April 12.

RCMP find 91 pounds of marijuana

Do you run out of energy before you run out of day?

Police

Beat The occupant of a home lacked the luck of the Irish on St. Patrick’s Day, when police showed up in response to a panic alarm at the residence. Despite telling police nothing was wrong, the man, who is known to the local RCMP, couldn’t do much about an “overpowering” smell of marijuana coming from the residence Sunday afternoon. The man was taken into custody, and after a search of the residence, RCMP discovered and seized 91 pounds of marijuana. RCMP continue to investigate. The man’s name is being withheld until Crown counsel has reviewed the case and will consider charges under the Controlled Drugs and Substances Act.

Heroin seized, pair arrested Two men were arrested Friday, March 15 and a substantial amount of heroin was seized after RCMP searched a home on Auto Road. In addition to the heroin, police also seized a loaded, sawed-off shotgun and quantities of other drugs. The names of the accused men, who are known to police, are not being released until formal charges are approved.

OpiniOn at random

Roger Knox

The best obituary ever

As a reporter, one of the first things that gets drilled into you is the importance of your opening line in a story. It’s the line that hooks and attracts the readers, and makes them want to read the rest of the story. Well that same rule can apply to obituaries (hey, somebody’s gotta write them). And the first line of 80-year-old Harry Weathersby Stamps’ online obit from the Long Beach (Miss.) Sun Herald made me not only read the rest of his fascinating story, but left me wishing I had met Mr. Stamps in person: Harry Weathersby Stamps, ladies’ man, foodie, natty dresser and accomplished traveller, died on Saturday, March 9, 2013. What I learned about Mr. Stamps from his incredibly hilarious obituary was this: he hated cilantro and arugula; claimed to have remembered EVERY meal he ate in his 80 years; that the women in his life were numerous; he married his “main squeeze,” with whom they had two daughters. He taught his girls to “fish and to pick a quality hammer, to love nature and to just be thankful.” Stamps had a lifetime love of boiled peanuts, devilled eggs and “outsmarting squirrels.” He was also a former government and sociology professor for Gulf Coast Community College. A Korean War veteran, Stamps “took fashion cues from no one. His signature everyday look was all his: a plain pocketed T-shirt designed by the fashion house, Fruit of the Loom, his black-label elastic waist shorts worn above the navel and sold exclusively at Sam’s on Highway 49, and a pair of old school Wallabees that were always paired with a grass-stained MSU (I’m guessing Mississippi State University) baseball cap.” Finally, and what made me bust a gut laughing was, “because of his irrational fear that his family would throw him a golfthemed funeral despite his hatred for the sport, his family will hold a private, family-only service free of any type of theme.” “Paint a picture for the reader” is another lesson we reporters are taught. Well if that obituary doesn’t paint a remarkable portrait of Harry Weathersby Stamps, nothing will. The obituary was apparently written by one of Stamps’ daughters and, hysterical as it is, you can also feel the love coming through for Mr. Stamps. He was a character, he lived a good life and he was beloved. To me, it’s how an obituary should read and I hope mine will read likewise when the time comes. I still haven’t decided yet if I want any kind of service (let alone one with a theme), and I have joked in the past that I would write my own eulogy so that way I could get what I wanted said about me at my own service rather than leaving the task to a friend or family member. Not only does Stamps’ obituary leave me wishing I’d known him, it made me think about my 49 years on earth and that I’ve got a lot of things I still want to accomplish before I leave this world which, hopefully, is 30 years or more away. Like being a better dresser.

Editorial

Time to let another party rip us off? Never mind the platform, forget about spewing out more press releases about all that is wrong in B.C. What B.C. Conservative Leader John Cummins should be doing right now is arranging a long lunch date with Gordon Wilson. It was Wilson, after all, who perfected his timing during the 1991 provincial election’s televised debate to establish the B.C. Liberal Party as the centre-right heir to Social Credit. As NDP Leader Mike Harcourt and Social Credit Leader Rita Johnston bickered, Wilson, then leader of the nothing-to-lose B.C. Liberals, quipped: “This reminds me of the legislature and here’s a classic example of why nothing ever gets done in the province of British Columbia.” That remark helped Wilson’s Liberals win 17

seats in the election, which were 17 more than the party held entering the campaign. The B.C. Liberals were caught in a deceitful plan to use taxpayer-funded resources to court the ethnic vote via an extremely cynical agenda. As a result, the party has repaid government $70,000. The NDP has its own ethnic-voter scandal brewing with news the party had diverted more than $500,000 from constituency offices across B.C. to be used for what Auditor General John Doyle has determined to be partisan purposes. Since policy and press conferences have not ignited voters, perhaps the Conservatives should simply ask voters to give them a chance to rip off the taxpayer, in the spirit of fairness. -Kamloops This Week

BC VIEWS

Patricia Larmand “As a non-drinker I really don’t care, but I think it’s better to keep it where it is.”

Winifred Ewing “The downtown area needs it to draw people. Without it, it’s just going to kill business.”

Support for pesticide ban I am writing in response to the March 12 article “Doctor protests against pesticides” by Barb Brouwer. I am a first-year university student in environmental and sustainable studies. I attend Acadia University in Nova Scotia, but I reside in Salmon Arm during the summers. During my studies here, we have been educated about the many harmful effects of pesticide use and their direct correlation

with disease and some cancers. Salmon Arm being my hometown, it delights me to see people at the top of their profession standing up for our environment, and the health of our citizens. About the licence to spray pesticides, I would agree with the point of view that, it simply makes no sense. Having a licence to spray something extremely toxic doesn’t make it any less toxic. It’s still

harming our environment and our residents. Over here in Nova Scotia there are many groups that believe pesticides should be banned in general, and I couldn’t agree more. I thank you for bringing this attention to my hometown, and good luck on making your case for the ban. Hopefully I will come home to a pesticidefree environment! Pierre Luc Lord

Going in the wrong direction It’s all part of the same question. Are we humans going to irreversibly harm the lifesupport systems of this planet, and therefore our own health as a species and other species, or not? Proposals to privatize, or make corporate access to resources in general more unregulated are now becoming a threat to our very survival. Our forests are perhaps the most important natural resource we have given that the greatest environmental challenge of our time is excessive carbon in the atmosphere, which our forests greatly help to ameliorate. Unbridled wealth generation by a private resource extrac-

tion-based economy is no longer in everyone’s best interest, if it ever was. This is really just the habitual perpetuation of an economic system we have created, except that now we continue in this vein at our own peril. It is a hangover of sorts, a carrying on of a set of practices and behaviors well beyond the point where they make sense, unless you are talking about those other ‘cents.’ We are faced with a global calamity of catastrophic proportion, that is, the continuing production and distribution of atmospheric carbon through the combustion of fossil fuels, by us. This is perhaps

the strongest case to cease continued efforts to privatize greater chunks of B.C.’s forests, by allowing corporations to convert their licenses to TFLs, and continue the appalling abuse of these lands. We need as many big carbon-fixing trees as possible intact and healthy. They are the lungs of the planet. It is not in the public’s best interest to do anything which increases the risk to the health of our forests, so please remove Section 24 of Bill 8. You are our supposedly our leaders, for the moment, and you are taking us in precisely the wrong direction! Bill Lytle-McGhee

Premier Oliver addressed a capacity crowd in the Rex Theatre on the subject of freight rate equalization. Mayor Newnes welcomed the premier on behalf of the citizens of Salmon Arm. The premier said that although officials of the CPR had told him they would oppose any attempt to lower rates in the mountains, and although he had a great liking and respect for many officials of the CPR, in manners concerning the rights of the people of B.C. he would fight to the last ditch.

Notice was given that henceforth riding the rods would be illegal. City council worried about their inability to shoulder the entire financial burden of relief since receiving word of provincial and federal withdrawal of support. Ald. Jas Day was told to provide relief only in cases of real distress.

1943

There were 10,000 women between the ages of 18 and 45 serving in the Canadian Army. One thousand had enlisted in B.C., 1,000 more were needed. People of Salmon Arm raised $4,403.50 for the Red Cross.

Work was completed in demolishing the part of the building occupied by Ken Hunter, Hunter’s Pharmacy, corner of Alexander Avenue and Hudson Street, in preparation of construction of a new business block on that location. The property occupied by the library was purchased by Salmon Arm lodge No. 52 AF & AM.

In a vote of 40 to nine, shareholders of the Salmon Arm Golf and Country Club Association decided not to sell the community golf course. Dr. C.J.M Willoughby won the Kamloops seat for the Conservatives in the federal elections. Stuart Fleming, Conservative, retained Okanagan-Revelstoke.

The Turtle Valley Donkey Refuge is full to the brim and beyond. Charity founders Shirley Mainprize and Rob Miller were in the process of adding two more residents to the 39 donkeys who currently call the sanctuary home when a plea for help for 15 mini donkeys came from Vancouver Island. “The owner has a pulmonary heart condition and is very, very ill,” says Mainprize, noting the owner called them when he realized his poor health was preventing him from caring for his animals. Miller was on his way to the island yesterday to build a temporary shelter for the mini donkeys, who have been out in the rain since the roof to their shelter blew off in a winter storm. Mainprize says she and Miller agreed to take the mini donkeys even though the sanctuary is at capacity – then wondered how they were going to manage. “As we gathered, they need to be rehabilitated; they have bad feet and trouble walking,” she says, noting the non-profit sanctuary gets a $22,000 gaming grant but it can only be used to care for the existing population. “You always know if their feet are bad, their teeth are bad – that’s a given,” Mainprize says. “Dental care will be a minimum of $1,500, the ferry is $1,500 per truck and there’s two of them going down, plus I figure $4,000 labour for the equine haulers for total transport.” Mainprize figures about $10,000 will be needed to transport the donkeys and to provide initial care. And half of the current hay barn will have to be converted to provide shelter for the new additions. “It’s likely they haven’t had dental or farrier care,” she adds, noting initial farrier care will cost approximately $600, with another $100 for worming paste and $40 each for tetanus, equine flu and West Nile injections. And once they’re here, the donkeys that top out at 36 inches, will need more care and a lot of time before they can be sent out for fostering or integrated into the existing mini-donkey herd. “We have to keep them in quarantine for three weeks, depending on their condition, and then we put them out with a fence between them and the rest of the herd, and

Fifi, care for more than 40 donkeys at their non-profit refuge. then we do supervised visits,” says Mainprize, explaining donkey society is matriarchal. “The boys posture – they have their little harems and they finally fit into the order by being more aggressive or submissive. Then another new donkey arrives and it starts again.” The latest plea for help is no surprise to Mainprize. She says people buy the animals because they’re cute but no longer want them when they discover how much work is involved – or have to give them up when they age or become ill. Mainprize points out that donkeys can live to be 50 years old, sometimes outliving their owners. Former Salmon Arm residents, Mainprize and Miller began their adventure with donkeys in 1998 when they were living in Sunnybrae. “We bought a six-month old a boy, Max,” says Mainprize, noting the owner let her have him if she agreed to take his mother as well. She, however had very bad feet, a condition the couple tried

A team approach to domestic violence By Martha Wickett OBSERVER STAFF

“On Sept. 4, 2007, six-year-old Christian Lee was supposed to have been walking into his Grade 1 classroom for the first time. Instead, in the early hours that morning, Christian and four members of his family died in a murder/suicide.” This is how the 2009 report from the Representative for Children and Youth regarding the murder of five people in Oak Bay, Victoria by Christian’s father, Peter Lee, begins. It was recommendations from this report, Honouring Christian Lee, that prompted a better approach to dealing with domestic violence – an approach that is being embraced in Salmon Arm. On Thursday, March 14, 70 people representing a variety of social services in the Shuswap met at the Prestige Harbourfront Resort for a training session hosted by the Shuswap Integrated Case Assessment Team (ICAT). The session focused on recognizing the signs of high-risk domestic violence and learning how to make referrals to the ICAT. The Honouring Christian Lee report emphasized a lack of collaboration and lack of a coordinated response from the agencies involved. There was generally no communication or coordination between child welfare and criminal justice systems. Seven different agencies had information about the domestic violence. Although the Ministry of Child and Family Development and police independently discussed safety planning with Christian’s mother, Sunny Park, a comprehensive safety plan was not developed nor

was there a rigorous assessment of the risk posed by Peter Lee. Brooke McLardy, programs manager for Vernon Women’s Transition House Society, one of the speakers at the Thursday session, led participants through the timeline in the Oak Bay tragedy and later outlined risk factors that are now used by ICAT. Nineteen factors are considered, including the offender’s access to weapons, alcohol and drug use, mental health, employment stability, stalking/jealousy, thoughts about suicide, current status of the relationship, and strangulation – which, she said, is often one of the last acts of domestic violence before murder.

Brooke McLardy Vernon Women’s TransiTion House

Strangulation can be particularly dangerous, McLardy pointed out, because victims may have only transient symptoms, yet because of underlying brain damage caused by lack of oxygen, they can die 24 to 36 hours later. Vernon created an Integrated Case Assessment Team in 2010, the first of its kind in B.C., and has trained teams across the province, including in Salmon Arm. Vernon’s was formed as a result of the Chayal murder/suicide in Vernon in 1996 when a man killed his estranged spouse and eight of her relatives at a pre-wedding gathering, as well as the recommendations in the

Honouring Christian Lee report. “The recommendations from Oak Bay were the same recommendations…,” said McLardy, and they pointed to more collaboration and sharing of information. McLardy mentioned that social media can make safety more difficult. One particular offender individually contacted 200 Facebook ‘friends’ of his former spouse in order to find out where she had moved. Once the committee assesses the risk, a safety plan, tailored to each case, is created. Jan Seelinger, program coordinator with Community Based Victim Services in Salmon Arm, noted how important it is to ensure the victim can execute her safety plan. While an agency might, with good intention, jot down suggestions for the victim, factors such as language or trauma could make the plan impossible for her to follow. Later in the discussion, Seelinger noted that one issue a team sometimes faces is an offender being governed by two different court orders. A criminal court could issue a ‘no contact’ order, while family court might have allowed access. Regarding the court system, McLardy said Crown Counsel in Vernon has been part of the process since 2008. “They use our reports in court and have been very supportive.” She said she’s pleased, overall, with the work that’s been done in Vernon over the past three years. “I think the families feel far more supported. They have access to enhanced safety planning as these agencies are working together with the family.”

Volunteers needed for Lifeline program By Lachlan Labere OBSERVER STAFF

Volunteering with Interior Health’s Lifeline program is relatively simple and a brief task that can yield lifesaving results. The program is offered through the health authority to provide emergency response home monitoring for individuals recovering from surgery, people with chronic health problems, or for seniors wish to continue living safely and independently. Most people are familiar with the technology behind the Lifeline program from TV, and the famous tag line, “I’ve fallen and I can’t get up.” While the technology has advanced, the premise is generally the same. “They wear a little button, and if they have any kind of trouble, they just press the button and it tells a little communicator to dial into our response centre where there’s staff on duty 24-hours a day,” says IH Lifeline program manager David Kelcey. “It comes up on a computer screen at our monitoring station and it has all the information about the individual, including the names of some neighbours or friends or family – we call them responders – who can come and check on them.” Kelcey says the response is based on the seriousness of the situation. If

it’s a fall and the person is not hurt, a responder is called in. If it’s more serious, an ambulance is dispatched. Where the volunteers come in is with the installation of the technology. “The volunteers actually install the equipment in the home. It’s not complicated,” says Kelcey. “They hook it up and show the individual how to operate the equipment.” Volunteers are currently needed in Sicamous and Salmon Arm. Rollie Durocher, who currently lives in Salmon Arm but has deep roots in Sicamous, has been volunteering with the Lifeline program for about two decades. Durocher says the job of installing the Lifeline equipment was initially taken up by retired Telus employees, but he assures it’s easy to do, and easy to use. To people considering taking part in the Lifeline program, Durocher tells them to think of it as peace of mind for the rest of the family. “I’ve had some situations where I’ve put them in and the people have had to use them within 24 hours,” says Durocher. There is a fee for Lifeline, but there is sponsorship funding available for individuals experiencing financial hardship. For information, call Kelcey at 1-800-994-8414, or email david. kelcey@interiorhealth.ca.

ARIES (March 21-April 19): This week will find you contemplating about past actions or meditating over a certain closure. Being in such a deep reflective mood, you have certainly gained more insight about your innermost thoughts. Once the Sun enters your sign, welcome the invigorated new you. TAURUS (April 20-May 20): You are asking yourself whether you had made the right choices when it comes to certain wishes. A friend might have reappeared into your life or an opportunity might have exposed itself to you thus making you question what or for whom you are truly fighting for. GEMINI (May 21-June 20): You might have felt off track while questioning your standing and your career decisions. It is better to not instigate anything for the long haul this week. Remain patient and things will slowly become less foggy. CANCER (June 21-July 22): Your desire to expand your horizons to new levels might have felt a bit limited or you may have encountered roadblocks that did not let you fully taste life’s opportunities. You will progressively regain your confidence and you will no longer feel estranged in your own territory. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Emotional ups and downs will lessen in your life and you will slowly recover your force. You gained greater insight about your deepest problems and soon you will have the ability to see the root of your problems with greater clarity. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Relationships have been full of mist and at times, cloudy. Much confusion and irritation have interfered with your potential to prosper or grow within a business or romantic alliance. A new picture is in the works for you, one that is little by little picking up for the better.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): The office atmosphere proved to be hectic at times and way too unstable. At times it might have been hard to pinpoint who is on your side and who is not. Issues dealing with your health also seemed a bit draining. Step by step, you will put the pieces together and gain more progress in your daily activities. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Pleasures had to be postponed for a while or at least, that’s how they felt. You will be reacquainted to the things that truly inspire you such as your children, a hobby or a romantic interest. Pick yourself up and be ready to engage yourself in some welldeserved fun. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Matters concerning your family unit might have come to the fore during the last few weeks. You probably had to revisit your past and revise a particular familial situation. Bits by bits this issue will become more lucid and easier to deal with. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): You have encountered plenty of blockages and delays when interacting with others. Your daily activities seemed too hectic at times thus making it harder for you to rely on a well scheduled agenda. Your voice will soon have a more coherent vibe to it and others will be more receptive to your messages. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): You are slowly getting out of a phase where you had been questioning your values, your worthiness and your self-esteem. This self-inquisition will give you light to your persisting questions and give you further insight about your own worthiness. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Your everyday life issues have experienced a major or intermission. It was hard for you to advance when you encounter unanticipated roadblocks. You have a small break before you will finally move into another chapter of your life where things will finally start progressing.

What I value...

Improved TransporTaTIon & InfrasTrucTure

four laning of the Trans-canada Highway from Kamloops to the alberta border The current situation... · Existing two lanes cannot support increased traffic volume, leading to congestion and preventable traffic accidents.

· Avalanches and avalanche control between Revelstoke and Sicamous forces road closures, discouraging tourism to the area.

· Road restrictions limit product shipment, negatively impacting local business.

in the throat cause snoring, also interrupted breathing and gasping for air (sleep apnea), which brings on being tired all day, need for napping, high blood pressure, strokes, heart attacks, irregular heart beat. Read below how Bell helps thousands, usually first night, inexpensively, with no side effects. Greatly improves quality of life and saves marriages. Survey says 48% snore and 75% are suffering if you include the silent suffering partners. To my surprise, after taking BellSound Sleep #23 I really didn’t snore or gasp for air anymore. I sleep through the night and feel rested and refreshed in the morning. Mark Wilson, 40, Hudson, NH < Sleep apnea capsules worked first night! For last 15 years I had sleep apnea and my doctor made me buy a CPAP machine, which I could not use. Finally Bell #23 helped the first night and every night thereafter. Like a miracle. Unbelievable. Karen Braun, 67, Glace Bay, NS < For 20 years I was waking up frequently gasping for air. During the day I would start napping every time I would sit down, because I was tired. Since #23 taking Bell #23 sleeping 6 hours is heaven. It made a substantial change in my life. Mary C. Myrick, 62, Jackson, MS <It is such a joy not having to use the CPAP machine. I have had sleep apnea for 10 years. Using Bell#23, my wife says there is no more snoring or stoppage of breathing. It is such a joy to be able to roll to left or right with no hose or mask to deal with. Thank you Bell for a great relief. I suggest anyone with these problems to try it. You will be overjoyed with the results. Wayne Burse, 63, Beamsville, ON. < Lost my husband because of sleep apnea in 2011. I had sleep apnea, too. I was scared to go to bed and have an heart attack like my husband. After taking Bell #23 I can now sleep for 5-6 hours peacefully without gasping for air. A blessing. Suzie Weigel, 60, Chattanooga, TN.

Tour operators and travel media in London, England got a sample of the Shuswap courtesy of Leah Podollan and Melanie Tighe-Lovsin of Podollan Inn and MJO Tours. The pair visited London as part of the Canadian Signature Experience, where 35 tourism providers from across the country participated in an event at Canada House. The local presentation, dubbed the Salmon’n Wine Discovery, is a guided tour with MJO Tours in one of their deluxe vehicles. It begins with a stop at the Adams River to see the annual salmon run in late September and October, a visit to cool-climate wineries, tastings of local farmmade cheese and cured meats, gourmet dining with wine pairings at Table 24 and a stay at the Podollan Inn. The women participated in marketing sessions and speed networking sessions with UK media and tour operators. “The one-on-one business meetings

were a tremendous opportunity to introduce all that our region has to offer. The UK travel business community expressed enormous interest in our product,” said Podollan, owner of the Podollan Inn, Salmon Arm. “We feel very encouraged that a positive outcome will result from the meetings.” The signature experience event included a royal seal of approval from Prince Andrew, Duke of York, who shared his own Canadian experiences with the audience. “I have been all over Canada and I have done some extraordinary things, but I have enjoyed my canoeing in Canada in a way that is really so special… For those who don’t have experience of Canada or are selling Canada, these special tourism activities all offer a huge experience to recommend to clients,” said the prince. Podollan says they are already beginning to follow up on several enquiries. For more information on the Salmon’n Wine Discovery package, see details at motors.com and Podollan. com.

Students advance to national stage the biggest prizes: two golds, a bronze and $3,500 in cash prizes. On the road to the podium, the college outperformed competitors from UBC, SFU, Brandon University and the University of Alberta, among others. The teams presented to a panel of independent judges on a number of communitybased projects, all developed and organized by the Okanagan College student group. “It is amazing to see the difference our team is making in the community, how meaningful and powerful of a connection we make with the people of our communities,” said Paven Sekhon, president of Enactus Okanagan College. One of the winning projects was implemented in Salmon Arm. Enactus Okanagan College created Shuswap-Launch-a-

A dozen teams vie for Launch-a-Preneur win By Martha Wickett OBSERVER STAFF

Budding entrepreneurs are at it again in Salmon Arm, well along the way in the 2013 Shuswap Launcha-Preneur competition. Much like television’s Dragon’s Den program where people pitch business ideas to a few wealthy Canadian businesspeople – but a kinder, gentler version, Launch-a-Preneur assists entrepreneurs in planning for a successful launch of their business. The support and training then culminates in a final competition night, April 26, when teams compete for thousands of dollars in prizes and in-kind donations designed to assist with business start-up in the Shuswap. Seventeen teams began the process in January with 12 teams remaining. They are being sup-

of co-operation,” says Carol McGillivray, business support coordinator for Salmon Arm Economic Development. “There are all these folks with different ideas for business-

es…They’re saying to each other ‘hey, have your thought of this…’ It’s really kind of neat to see the support for each other.” Come Friday, April 26, when all of the

learning and preparation culminates in the competition night, teams present an “elevator pitch” to a panel of judges. A selection of teams is then invited to move

on to the final round where they provide a more detailed presentation and answer questions from the judges and audience. The finalists are competing for a number

of awards including Green Initiative, Public Choice, and first, second and third awards. Along with the awards are thousands of dollars in prizes including marketing packages,

Pair try their hand at swordplay

Fencing: Local youth sample sport that originated in ancient times. By Leah Blain OBSERVER CONTRIBUTOR

While the TV is usually the culprit when it comes to young people’s lack of exercise, it served to get a couple of local boys into a new sport. “In the Olympics we saw swordfighting and it looked really fun,” says 12-year-old Ryan Schmitt. “And we saw that TV show, Modern Family, the boy was competing in fencing.” Swinging a sword is something he had done since he was very little, says Ryan’s mother, Rhiannon. “He always had a plastic sword he wanted to try – I used to have bruised knees.” And of course Star Wars light saber duels were also an inspiration. Aiken Webster, 11, explains his motivation quite simply: “Star Wars for sure.” He has been fencing since he was eight. “I wanted a new sport, I didn’t really like the others. On the first day my mom thought I should be a little more protected so my dad joined too. It’s for all ages.” Both boys go to Okanagan Freestyle Fencing but Ryan goes to the club in Vernon and Aiken goes to the one in Armstrong. Their sessions begin with a warm-up game, conditioning exercises and then begin practising footwork. “It’s mostly the feet. We do about 45 minutes of footwork and then we do an hour of fencing with footwork,” says Aiken. “My footwork

has improved a lot. My arm’s reach has gotten longer – that helps, and I’ve learned more moves.” Ryan has been fencing for just over a year. “I like the games at the beginning and doing the free fencing at the end.” Rhiannon mentions some of the things she appreciates that fencing embodies: “It’s about honour and being truthful. If an opponent says they’ve touched you, you give the person a point.” She says they’re trained not to argue even if they think their opponent did not actually make a point; they’re supposed to concede gracefully.” “Its about doing the right thing; it’s not about trying to pull one over on the referee. To voluntarily admit they made a mistake is fantastic. It builds character.” Aiken says fencing has helped him with co-ordination. “I started out being very unco-ordinated, it’s better now.” He says not only is there a lot of hand-eye co-ordination, it also takes a lot of co-ordination with your feet “which you can’t even see.” They can’t see because fencers have a thin mesh face guard on their helmets. Schmitt pulls out his gear which includes white nylon breeches (short pants) with suspenders, a white zip jacket and a couple of swords with rubber tips on the end. Fencers also wear a body cord to register scoring. It attaches to the weapon and runs inside the jacket sleeve, then down the back and out to a scoring box.

JamEs murray/OBSERVER

En garde: Ryan Schmitt and Aiken Webster travel to Vernon and Armstrong to participate in the sport of fencing. “I really like challenging myself to beat people,” says Webster. “Right now I’m at a disadvantage because my arms are short.” When he and his dad, Sandy, are paired up, Sandy usually wins. “I beat him a couple of times,” Webster says, smiling. Kim, Aiken’s mother, says fencing is a good stress reliever for her husband and it’s helped give her son more confidence: “He’s very

reserved and it’s a chance for him to put himself out there a little bit. He’s competed in tournaments; it’s outside his usual comfort zone. You grow when you do these things.” Neither Webster nor Schmitt have plans to carry on to national competition or the Olympics. For now, it’s “just for fun” says Ryan. “It’s very good for your mind,” says Aiken. “They do a move and then you do a move, you decide

what move you’re going to do next. You don’t want to apply the wrong moves.” “I’m not expecting he’ll swashbuckle for a living,” Rhiannon says of Ryan. “Kids just want to whack swords but it’s beyond a game. It builds character, great character.” For more information contact Okanagan Freestyle Fencing head coach Matt Clarke at 250-3069253.

’Backs keep believing The road back starts with one win and, as of Tuesday, the Salmon Arm SilverBacks hadn’t been able to get one against the defending national champion Penticton Vees in their best-of-seven Interior Division semifinal. Down three games to none, the ’Backs tried to stave off elimination Tuesday night at Shaw Centre (past Observer deadline). Adam Clark was to start Game 4 in net after Angus Redmond started Games 2 and 3. The series has been closer than the series record would indicate so there is still belief in the Salmon Arm dressing room. “Our first game, we weren’t ourselves; I think they (Vees) were ripe for the picking that day,” said SilverBacks head coach Scott Robinson of the 4-2 loss in Game 1. “We were bound up with nerves. The last two games, we’ve been ourselves, we had the lead in Game 2 as well.” That lead didn’t hold up as Sam Mellor scored twice including an empty-net goal and Thomas Nitsche scored the winner in another 4-2 win. In Monday’s Game 3, Penticton was leading 2-1 late in the third and got the insurance marker after a scrum in front of the ’Backs net as Jedd Soleway shovelled in a rebound. There was confusion on the play as one official appeared to wave it off but it was eventually ruled a good goal. “The explanation they said was that he wasn’t waving it off,” said Robinson, adding he was told the official used an arm gesture to signal a stoppage

Air time: Salmon Arm’s Bryden Marsh loses ice contact in a scramble for the puck versus Penticton. in play, rather than his whistle. “I think it was more of the procedure of how it was handled; you blow the whistle and make a decision. “We had people (team officials) sitting around that area that said it was in; it was just the procedure.”

Through three games, Salmon Arm has been held to just five goals. Penticton’s reputation as a team that simply outscores its mistakes isn’t really accurate, says Robinson. “They’re deep, they’re rolling four lines and they’ve really

bought into defensive hockey,” he said. “Really, the strength of their game right now is prevention.” Salmon Arm will have to figure out a way around that. Their playoff lives depend on it. “We’ve tried to get some things, little ad-

justments that help us generate more and we started to see a bit of that last night,” said Robinson. “The difference is they’ve had a couple of high-quality chances and made great shots. We need a little puck luck around the net and swat a few in.” Robinson has liked what he’s seen from Redmond, who hasn’t made a misstep all year when given a chance in net, but also likes what Salmon Arm native Bryden Marsh is providing. Despite not having any points, Marsh’s energy has led to Vees turnovers and some chances going the other way. Josh Bowes leads the team with a goal and two assists so far while Shane Hanna has a goal and an assist. Salmon Arm’s power play is 1-for-12, last in the playoffs.

New fans celebrate old tradition Neo-Medieval super group Corvus Corax – known by passionate fans around the world as the ‘kings of minstrels’ – will bring their legendary show, including fantastic costumes and the largest hurdy gurdy in the world to Salmon Arm. The story of Corvus Corax and the group’s quest for the lost musical tradition of the medieval minstrel began in 1989 East Germany by members Castus Rabensang and Wim Venustus. Upon escaping from the former German Democratic Republic, the pair began busking in the streets, often performing with jugglers and acrobats of the street performer’s underground. By aspiring to relive the life of travelling minstrels in this genuine way, the band hoped to discover the musical practices of medieval secular music. Continuously seeking authenticity, Corvus Corax began touring with larger ensembles of seven or eight musicians. Venues for the concerts during that time were almost exclusively historical places, halls, castles, and medieval

spectacles like the Kaltenberger Ritterturnier, the largest jousting tournament in the world. Europe-wide Corvus Corax performed on the Marcus Square during Venice Carnival, before the Pope’s Palace during the Festival d’Avignon, and other places where the minstrels of yore would likely have played. After seven years of exploration, the band’s perception of medieval authenticity began to change. Like their predecessors, the minstrels of 1,000 years ago who used whatever melodies, rhythms and instruments came their way as they roamed Europe, the musicians of Corvus Corax began to examine the influences of contemporary music on their own practice. Using fragments of medieval secular music found in old writings, they began reworking them, employing modern arrangements and electrical amplification of traditional medieval instruments, to forge a new sound. The four bagpipe players and three percussionists have thus helped define a new genre – neo-medieval

The band’s concert activities have exploded and now include clubs, major concert halls, and festivals. These concerts have culminated in the Cantus Buranas project that includes a 150-piece ensemble of choir, orchestra, and soloists, they created an epic new setting for texts and music from the medieval manuscript Carmina Burana. Corvus Corax keeps enlarging its vision and has started its next period of life with the just

Obituaries

LARRY ALLEN DYCK It is with profound sadness that we announce the sudden death of Larry Allen Dyck on March 16, 2013 at the age of 66. Larry was born on January 1, 1947 in Gladstone, Manitoba. Being from the prairies, there was always a special place in Larry’s heart for hockey, curling and agriculture. Larry was a standout defenseman for the Brandon Wheat Kings in the 1960s and the sport was a passionate pursuit throughout his life. Larry knew that sports were not what matters most in this world, though, and at the age of 18, Larry committed his life to Jesus Christ and chose his lifelong vocation of being a pastor. To that end, he earned bachelors and masters degrees in divinity at Providence College in Otterburne, MB. In 1968, he caught the eye of one Marilyn Lepp. They were married in August of 1969 and went on to enjoy 43 years of marriage. In the 1970s, Larry served as a pastor in churches in Birch Hills SK, Swan River MB and Winnipeg. In 1977, Larry and family relocated from Winnipeg to Salmon Arm, after being smitten with the beauty of the Shuswap. Larry was the pastor of First Baptist Church (now Shuswap Community Church) from 1977 to 1991 and from 1996 to 2005. Since 2010, he served as the pastor of Faith Baptist Church in Vernon. Larry devoted himself fully to the well-being and spiritual growth of the many who attended the churches he led over the years, and he remained invested in the lives of many of them right up until the day of his death. Larry is predeceased by his parents, Peter and Margaret Dyck. Larry is survived by his wife Marilyn, of Salmon Arm. His is also survived by his son Jeff and daughter-in-law Jessica of Surrey, and children Amelia, Simon and Paul. As well, his daughter Janine and children Josiah, Kaley and Hunter of Vernon and his sister Dorothy of Brandon, Manitoba. Larry took great delight in his children and grandchildren and took every opportunity to spend time with them in recent years. Donations in Larry’s memory may be made to World Evangelization for Christ (WEC) at www.weccanada.org, or to the charity of their choice. The funeral service will be held at Shuswap Community Church, 3151 6th Avenue NE, at 1:00 p.m. on Saturday, March 23. Interment will follow in Mt. Ida Cemetery, with a reception back in the Church. Online condolences may be sent through Larry’s obituary at www.bowersfuneralservice.com. Funeral arrangements are in the care of Bowers Funeral Home, Salmon Arm.

JOHN (BILL) WILLIAM KEOWN 1936-2013 Bill Keown passed away peacefully at Hillside Village on Thursday morning March 14, 2013 with family at his side. Bill was a devoted husband to the love of his life Joan Keown. They were together always for 53 years. Bill will be greatly missed by his wife Joan and his son Chuck (Candi) and was was pre-deceased by his daughter Brenda. Survived by grandchildren Pascal, Trevor, Brooke, Josh and Olivia his brothers Dudley (Norma), Ken, Eugene (Virginia) and sister Marge (Barry). He will also be missed greatly by his in-laws Faye, Linda (Phil) and Larry and numerous nieces and nephews, also all his close friends from Sorrento BC and extended family the Wrenkos. Bill was a longtime resident and business owner in Grande Prairie AB and made many great partnerships and friendships throughout the years. 30 years ago Bill and Joan moved to Sorrento BC to begin retirement which did not last long before Bill got a job driving school bus and helping out in the shop which he did with great pride for 10 plus years. Bill often commented that driving school bus was the most rewarding job he ever had and missed it greatly when he retired. When Bill retired from bus driving he devoted himself to caring for his wife Joan and keeping busy around his house in Sorrento. Early in 2013 Bill and Joan both moved into Hillside Village and spent many days holding hands and enjoying each others company while watching television. It was a scene that would warm your heart seeing the immense love they felt for each other. A funeral service was held on Monday, March 18, 2013 at 1:00 pm at Bowers Funeral Home, Salmon Arm BC. A reception followed the service allowing time for family and friends to continue sharing memories A special thank you to Kim Hartman (Bill and Joan’s niece) for doing the eulogy for the service and to Bowers for their professionalism during this time. The Family would also like to thank the staff at Hillside Village for their ability and willingness to treat Bill and Joan with the dignity, respect and compassion that only comes from truly loving people, the family is forever grateful. Online condolences can be sent through Bill’s obituary at www.bowersfuneralservice.com Funeral arrangements are in the care of Bowers Funeral Service, Salmon Arm, BC.

When two people appeared to be snorting something off a piece of paper just before 11 p.m. in Vernon’s Walmart parking lot, the curious onlooker decided to tell the RCMP about it. Police responded to the call, and an officer was able to locate the suspect vehicle driving southbound in the 3200 block of 27th Street. The driver of the truck was identified as a 32-year-old man from the Salmon Arm area. “He was found to be in possession of 111 grams of cocaine powder, 1.9 grams of heroin, 1.4 grams of marijuana, four cell phones and a jamming device,” said Vernon RCMP spokesperson Gord Molendyk. The jamming device, he explained, helps jam police radios and cellular phones. The Shuswap man was taken into custody and was expected to appear in Vernon Provincial Court Monday to face drug-related charges.

Four ways to keep putting your best food forward HealtHy bites

Serena Caner This year’s nutrition month theme is Best Food Forward: plan, shop, cook, enjoy! We all know we should be eating less processed food.
