Drugs, property seizedBust: Stolen truck leads police to cache of heroin, cocaine, meth.
Water cutbacks urged
A stolen truck ended up leading the Salmon Arm rcMP to seize $420,000 worth of drugs and recover $300,000 in stolen property on Saturday.
on Aug. 29, police received a report of a stolen F-350 with a camper from a residence in blind bay.
As the investigation began, police re-ceived further information that a truck matching the description was seen travel-ling on the Trans-canada Highway tow-ing a black Wells cargo trailer.
The trailer was carrying a Harley davidson motorcycle, which was later confirmed stolen. The motorcycle came
loose and crashed into the ditch, while the stolen truck fled the scene.
The truck was seen fleeing by chase rcMP officers, who lost sight of it but was later observed by Salmon Arm mem-bers. The truck fled to a rural residence in Tappen with police following it.
upon arrival, police arrested the driver, but the other male suspect fled on foot into the woods. A third suspect was also at large and police began a search of the rural property.
The search revealed a marijuana grow operation and a prohibited weapon. The second male suspect was quickly located and arrested.
upon searching the property, police located an ATv stolen from Alberta,
the F-350 truck and camper stolen from blind bay, and a 2011 Kenworth logging truck stolen from 100 Mile House.
As well as the marijuana grow opera-tion, police seized a substantial amount of drugs including crack, cocaine, hash, heroin, crystal meth, amphetamine, psi-locybin (mushrooms) and prescription drugs, as well as cash and drug traffick-ing paraphernalia.
A few hours later, the third male sus-pect was located by police and arrested.
The three men were brought before a justice and were released on strict con-ditions with a date to appear in Salmon

A request to Salmon river water users to halt irrigation may already be having a positive effect for spawning salmon.
Gene Puetz has just started to see spawn-ing salmon swim through the Salmon river fish counting gate he oversees for Fisheries and oceans canada.
This bit of good news is, in part, the result of human intervention necessitated by recent high temperatures and low water levels at the mouth of the river on Shuswap lake.
“The fish should be pretty much ready to spawn about now,” Puetz said Tuesday, Sept. 1. “usu-ally, the 10th to the 15th of September is our peak spawn time. Ideally, if we can get them in here in the next week to 10 days, it would be nice.”
Part of that intervention was a call-out by the b.c. provincial government to all licensees on the Salmon river water system, including Fowler creek, asking they participate in a voluntary ir-rigation shutdown between Aug. 21 and 22, and again between Aug. 29 and Sept. 1.
“We have seen flows bump up with the previous voluntary shutdown on Aug. 21 to 22,” Ministry of Forests, lands and natural resource operations spokesperson Greig bethel commented Tuesday via email. “The thinking is that the cessation of irrigation, coupled with the cooler wet weather, may provide sufficient conditions for salmon mi-gration.”
bethel thanked those Salmon river water users who have stopped irrigating, noting compliance levels vary but have been increasing.
“There’s not too much irrigating going on any more as far as I can tell.… which should help a little bit,” confirmed Puetz.

Meanwhile, Puetz says Fisheries and Oceans staff have recently been working in the river delta, attempting to combine several small channels into a new, larger one spawning salmon will use to ac-cess the river.
“I haven’t been down to the mouth myself, but I’ve talked to some of the Fisheries people and they said there’s about 300 metres of area there where there’s really not much space for them, in kind of the delta, the mud flat, where it goes into the lake – it’s pretty hard for fish to get through so they’re hoping to channel it.”
Puetz says 2003 was the last time he can re-
member when human intervention was needed to assist spawning salmon into the Salmon River. He says the low snowpack from winter, and the hot spring and summer, were key factors behind the low water levels hindering this year’s journey. He notes the recent cool, wet weather has also been beneficial.
“Colder weather helps because the water cools off and it usually brings your flow up just a little, even without rain,” said Puetz. “But we had a little bit of rain yesterday. A little more rain wouldn’t hurt, it would all be good.”
Though the voluntary irrigation stoppage was supposed to end on Sept. 1, Puetz suggested ex-tending it a little longer also wouldn’t hurt.

Windstorm topples trees, cuts power
Fire ban lifted for the ShuswapJust in time for La-
bour Day Weekend campers, the campfire ban in the Kamloops Fire Centre has been lifted.
The ban was re-
moved at noon on Monday.
It was rescinded due to recent widespread precipitation, which resulted in a decreased risk of wildfires in the
region. The fire danger rating is now primar-ily “low” to “moder-ate” throughout the fire centre.
The campfire ban was enacted on July 3,
two weeks earlier than last’s year’s prohibi-tion, which went into effect on July 16.
Last year, the camp-fire ban was lifted on Aug. 21.
Five firefighters from the Shuswap went south to help pro-tect structures that may be threatened by the Stickpin fire in Wash-ington State.
The firefighters are part of a specially trained structural pro-tection firefighting team. With the pend-ing threat, the Office of the Fire Commis-sioner asked for the de-ployment of additional trained firefighters, so this crew was put to-gether.
While the Shuswap has special equip-
ment used to protect structures threatened by fire, the equipment is staying put, but the crew is going down to use equipment already in place.
“At 2 p.m. yester-day (Wednesday) we were asked if we could send some firefighting resources down, and within a few hours we were able to pull to-gether a five-person crew, a mix of mem-bers from various fire departments, and they were down there by 11 p.m. last night,” says Kenn Mount, CSRD’s regional fire chief.
The crew mem-bers include: Marc
Zaichowsky (Captain Tappen Sunnybrae Fire Dept.), Mike Zdebiak (Scotch Creek Lee Creek Fire Dept.), Scott Davies (Crew Leader; Captain Shus-wap Fire Dept.), Dar-nell Krussel (Ranchero Deep Creek Fire Dept.) and John Quilty (Salm-on Arm Fire Dept.)
Salmon Arm Fire Chief Brad Shirley says the partnership on the structural fire crews is excellent and notes that structural protection efforts can achieve substantial results when used as a precautionary mea-sure in areas where fire experts predict a fire
could spread.Recent rains have
now reduced the chance of fire in the area.
Mount explains the specialized sprinklers and pumps deployed by the firefighters can dampen the area and create a “humidity dome” around a struc-ture, protecting it from catching fire.
The local team can be deployed for up to two weeks, depending on the fire situation. Similar crews were used this year at the Bolean Lake fire to help protect the Bolean Lake lodge and other structures.
While there was some rain, it was the wind that caused prob-lems in the Shuswap on Satur-day, with downed power lines and uprooted trees causing pow-er outages for more than 3,000 Shuswap residents.
Lisa Coldwells, meteorologist with Environment Canada, says wind gusts in excess of 50 km/h were recorded in Salmon Arm and heavy winds lasted between two and three hours, however, not a lot of rain fell.
“There was only 1.2-mm re-corded, which is not a lot consid-ering the intensity of the storm, but it was the Coast that got the brunt of the rain,” she said.
“This type of storm is unusu-al. It was not associated with a
thunderstorm, which is the usual pattern for a summer storm. There was a very broad area of low pressure which is highly unusual for the end of August. Typically that is a fall and winter pattern.
The Salmon Arm Fire Depart-ment was kept busy Saturday with calls of downed trees and damaged power lines. There were a total of six call outs dur-ing the storm, mostly concen-trated in the Gleneden area.
“There were no fire situations and no injuries that resulted, thankfully,” said Fire Chief Brad Shirley. “There were lines down and trees on lines, that kind of thing.”
BC Hydro says more than 3,000 Shuswap customers were left without power for portions of Saturday due to the wind
storm and downed trees. The largest of Saturday’s outages kept more than 1,400 customers in the dark for nearly six hours before power could be restored.
The advantage of the storm was that it helped clear off much of the smoke from fires in Wash-ington State that has plagued the area for more than a week.
The Ministry of Environment officially rescinded the Shus-wap’s smoky skies advisory on Monday, after it was first initi-ated on Aug. 23.
Coldwells says rain showers should continue later into this week, before the low pressure system moves off and sunnier weather is expected for the long weekend. She cautions that the temperatures are going to still be below average for the time of year.

Father angered by sentenceCourts: After his son’s killer gets caught on another theft charge, Doug de Patie speaks out about the amount of jail time issued.
The father of a man killed 10 years ago in a horrific gas-and-dash robbery feels victim-ized again at the hands of the justice system.
Doug de Patie, who lives in the South Shus-wap, is outraged at the latest sentence given to his son’s killer, which amounted to less than two weeks in jail for theft and obstruction of justice.
De Patie’s son Grant was 24 years old and working alone as a gas station attendant in Maple Ridge when he attempted to get the licence plate of a car involved in a gas-and-dash theft. After at-tempting to jump out of the way, Grant was struck by the car, his clothing caught on a tire and he was dragged 7.5 kilometres to his death.
The killer, Darnell Pratt, was 16 when he committed that crime. He was charged with second-degree murder; however, Pratt pleaded
guilty to manslaughter and was issued a seven-year sentence.
Since then Pratt has had repeated parole vio-lations and run-ins with the law, the latest being caught with items from a stolen vehicle which was found abandoned not far from where po-lice apprehended Pratt.
Pratt pled guilty to
theft under $5,000 and obstruction charges, which resulted when Pratt gave authorities a false name.
He was issued one day in jail in addition to time served before he
posted bail.De Patie believes
Pratt was involved with the theft of vehicle, but this charge was dropped due to lack of evidence.
“I’m so mad, I smashed my computer. To me this sentence is just short of him walk-ing away scot-free,” he said. “This was not a meaningful sentence, not for someone with his history.”
De Patie would have preferred the judge to have been allowed to make a determination, rather than the charge being dropped by the Crown due to a lack of evidence.
“That’s what judges are for, to look at the evidence and decide. In this case, the charge was dropped before the judge even heard any-thing.”
In response to the sentence, de Patie got in touch with Justice Min-ister Suzanne Anton, as well as the BC NDP’s Mike Farnworth.
“Who I’d like to say kudos to is the RCMP. They apprehended him, they brought him
in front of a judge. It’s the justice system that keeps letting us down. This guy is a hazard, every person he passes is a potential victim and yet they just shuffled him right back out on the street.”

Editorial
It appears now that much of the fire threat for the season is winding down.
On Monday, the Kamloops Fire Centre lifted its ban on campfires, relying on the cooler, wetter weather to relieve some of the serious threat the province has faced so far.
However, the deaths of three firefighters in Washington state are a reminder of how much these brave people are putting on the line. Five Shuswap firefighters answered the call last week, when it was uncertain whether the Stickpin fire would cross the border near Grand Forks, threatening homes and lives there.
Firefighters know how dangerous their jobs
can be, whether it is day-to-day operations of our local department or forestry service crews battling major wildfires. But, it’s so very easy for the public to take their work for granted. Considering the level of danger, it is amazing that relatively few are lost.
As you read this, many are still digging in with shovels and axes in heat and choking smoke despite the weather’s reprieve.
We want to extend our thanks to these brave men and women who are putting their lives in front of wildfires to protect people and prop-erty from devastation and death.

Thanks to firefighters near and far
Lots of ways to voteI’m registered and ready to vote. Using the Elections Canada website – www.elections.ca – I
was quickly and easily able to confirm that I am all legit and can cast a ballot with minimal fuss on election day.
I likely will wait until Oct. 19, general voting day to cast my ballot, as I like to keep my options open during the campaign before casting my vote. We all should remember in many, many places people still fight for the right to choose their leaders, and in others, people endure long waits and a host of other impediments just to be able to cast a ballot.
Registered voters will receive a card in the mail advising them of where to vote. These cards will be mailed in the week of Sept. 21 and Elections Canada indicates cards should be received by Oct. 1. There will be more than one polling place in Salmon Arm, so be sure to check on your voter information card or online.
But there are other options available.Voters in the Shuswap will have a number of ways to cast their
ballot – even if they will be out of the country or otherwise un-available to vote in either the advance polls or on general election day.
According to the elections Canada Website: “If you find it more convenient, voters can cast ballots at any Elections Canada office across Canada.”
Salmon Arm’s election office is located in the Samara Building at 231 Trans-Canada Highway North-East, Suite 103. Offices are open Monday to Friday, from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. In order to cast a special ballot, voters must bring proof of identity and address. The deadline for special ballot voting is Tuesday, Oct. 13. In the special ballot process, voters have to know which candidate they want to vote for and write it on the ballot. The close of nomina-tions for candidates is Monday, Sept. 28. The complete list of confirmed candidates will be available on Wednesday, Sept. 30.
Currently in the riding Conservative candidate Mel Arnold, Liberal candidate Cindy Derkaz and NDP candidate Jacqui Gin-gras have been confirmed by Elections Canada. Chris George of the Green Party has publicly announced his intention to run for the North Okanagan-Shuswap constituency, but was not of-ficially registered at press time. There is also the option for voters to cast their ballots by mail. The deadline to apply to vote by mail is Tuesday, Oct. 13 for anyone applying online or sending their application to Elections Canada in Ottawa.

FOR WHAT IT’S WORTH

Justin Trudeau wants to help those only in the middle class.
Tom Mulcair wants to help families with children.
None of the parties in this federal election have men-tioned those that brought them into the world.
More and more seniors are in need of levels of afford-able care facilities, which are sorely needed, as seniors are aging and dementia, etc., is becoming more of a prob-lem.

View PointThe Observer asked: Winners and Dollarama are coming to the city. What store would you like to see?
Joyce Ruth “I think we are pretty well covered for a city of our size.”
Dawn Rinsma “Children’s Place would make a nice addition.”
Lorena Smelsky “We need more options for children’s clothes.”
Gail Williams “Superstore and Winners are my favourite stores.”
Pat Wilson “It would be nice if Costco came here.”
I would like to thank the nice gentleman who helped me in Peter Jannink Park on Aug 15.
I was just beginning my walk with my leashed small-er dog when a large, very muscular, unleashed dog ran from its owner’s attempt to control it and knocked me down flat on my face.
I dropped my leash as I hit the ground. It then, along with the owner’s other two dogs, chased my dog away. I twisted my knee quite badly and though it isn’t broken, a
67-year-old lady with arthri-tis doesn’t need another rea-son to move slower.
The nice gentleman (I didn’t get his name) assisted me in hobbling around the park looking for my dog and then to my car where the dog’s owner had found her and opened the door for her. I was barely able to get us both home and then medical help for my injuries. I still have difficulty walking with-out pain.
Thank you, kind sir! You were a ray of light in the
gloom of the day.As to the other dog owner,
if you have little control, per-haps a public park is not the place for you. Your whole “family” should get some training and decide who re-ally is the “pack leader.” If you don’t really care about others, people will resent sharing any space with you and your dogs. They will get tired of paying for your consequences. Your dog de-serves better than that.

Energy and Mines Minister Bill Ben-nett spent last week in Alaska, trying to assure local fishermen and environmen-talists that B.C.’s mine approval process is “basically the same” as Alaska’s.
Bennett visited an abandoned mine in northwest B.C. that continues to leak acid and metal pollution into the Taku River, vowing to supervise cleanup by a new operator. He noted that one of B.C.’s pro-posed new mines includes a 23-kilometre pipe system to move ore out of the shared watershed for processing.
This is typical of the discourse between B.C. and our American cousins. Only our industry is questioned.
Meanwhile in Colorado, the latest mine spill disaster was blamed on a mis-take by the U.S. Environmental Protec-tion Agency. And in Alaska, as in the rest of the U.S., new metal mines such as the giant Pebble project depend on the same engineering and testing as ours.
Here in Victoria, the Fantasy Island dialogue about oil continued, with Green Party leader Elizabeth May call-ing a news conference to announce she is (brace yourself) opposed to pipelines and tankers on the B.C. coast. She stood at Clover Point, where daily Alaska crude tankers sail past, many on their way to vast refinery complexes just out of sight at Anacortes and Cherry Point in Wash-ington. A good portion of B.C.’s gasoline comes from there.
Without a drunk-captain incident since 1989, these tankers load up at the termi-nus of the Trans-Alaska Pipeline System.
For 47 years, the pipeline has pumped huge volumes of oil across Alaska from the charming northern outpost of Dead-horse to Valdez in the south, just east of Anchorage where cruise ships dock.
In his new book, Rust: The Longest War, science writer Jonathan Waldman calls it “the biggest, baddest oil pipeline
in the world.“From Prudhoe Bay to Prince William
Sound, the Trans-Alaska Pipeline System stretches 800 miles, which leaves engi-neer Bhaskar Neogi accountable for one of the heaviest metal things in the West-ern Hemisphere, through which the vast majority of Alaska’s economy flows,” Waldman writes. “Daily, the four-foot steel tube spits out $50 million of oil.”
It was once the largest private infra-structure in the U.S. Today it’s the most regulated pipeline in the world, with planes flying infrared sensors to detect leaks of warm oil and “line walkers” looking for soft spots in the permafrost.
And this isn’t low-fat, shade-grown oil for Seattle fuel-sippers. It struggles to flow, with a black asphalt bottom and thick wax that has to be scraped out of the pipeline by the ton with giant “pigs” that clean and monitor walls for corrosion.
The five Prudhoe Bay oilfields have been declining in production for 20 years, to the point where the Trans-Alaska pipe-line now carries about a quarter of its design capacity. It’s expected to run out around 2040, but for now Valdez still loads more than a tanker a day.
Waldman writes that when North America’s largest oilfield was discov-ered in 1968, companies first consid-ered extending the Alaska Railroad up to Deadhorse. But they would have needed 63 trains a day of 100 cars each. Trucks, cargo planes and even nuclear-powered submarines running under the Arctic ice were briefly considered.
Since we had a bit of hand-wringing last week about a small earthquake near Fort Nelson that may or may not have been triggered by hydraulic fractur-ing, it’s worth noting that Trans-Alaska oil also causes noticeable tremors as it rushes down the Chugach Mountains to a sudden stop at Valdez. But those are American earthquakes, so no story there.
Editor’s note: The BC Oil & Gas Com-mission has confirmed the 4.4-magnitude earthquake near Fort Nelson was caused by hydraulic fracturing.

Citizen grateful for hospital careMy wife had to take me
to the hospital recently on a Saturday morning with ma-jor stomach ache.
It was about 1 a.m., I got straight into triage, had a short Q & A with a nurse, was taken into the emergen-cy ward right away.
I was assessed by two more nurses and a short time later by a lady doctor. They gave me morphine, thank good-ness, and got some sleep. At 9 a.m. I had a CT scan which was read by the radiologist at about 10 - 10.30 a.m. An-other lady doctor assessed me and checked to see how
I was at about 11 a.m. At around noon a surgeon game by and told me the result of the scan and gave me my op-tions for the surgery which I would have to have.
My wife and I made the decision to go ahead, I was prepped immediately and the operation was performed at 3 p.m. by two surgeons and a doctor anesthesiologist.
All the RNs and LPNs and other staff were com-passionate and professional. While in the ER there was a lady in the next bay who was extremely distressed, dis-traught and who needed lots
of attention. The nurse, who was also
looking after me, was un-believable in how she man-aged all this and she definite-ly went above and beyond in her nursing care and her efforts to comfort this very sick and demanding lady, and also making time to take care of her most basic of hu-man needs.
Our caregivers and medi-cal professionals in Salmon Arm deserve nothing but the utmost respect. I am indebt-ed to them.

1925 There was a near drowning at Canoe on Monday last, when two women went in bathing during a storm. Neither could swim and the water was rough. When one stepped into a deep hole and was dragged un-der, the other went to her assistance and also got into dif� culties. Only the prompt action of Dorothy Brown, aged 14, of Revelstoke, prevented a tragedy. In bringing one of the women to shore, Dorothy was pulled under several times but persevered in her efforts until all three were safe out of the water.
1935 The fall rush is on. Apple packing has commenced this week in the Exchange. The school teachers are back to work. Even the children are full of enthusiasm for school again. Threshing, harvesting and baling are in full swing. So may your life be like arithmetic – joys added, cares divided, sorrows subtracted and pleasures multiplied.Mr. Alec Cragg has joined the staff of the Observer. Miss F.M. Dirom, who was em-ployed previously, is unable to return from her holidays, being under medical orders to rest for several months.
1945 The city’s ailing water system gave board of works foreman Roy Boutwell and his crew a busy time last week-end, and a number of residents south of High Street were without water for almost 24 hours as a result of the latest epidemic of trouble. From Thursday night to Saturday noon, no fewer then seven leaks developed in the mains in various parts of the city. The leaks occurred when trouble developed in the big reducer valve, causing a sudden surge of high pressure in all the pipes throughout the city.
1955 The new overpass carry-ing the Trans-Canada Highway over the CPR Mainline at Tappen is now in use, and to mark its completion an open air dance was held on the concrete deck of the structure on Friday night. The dance was arranged by the Tappen Women’s Institute, in co-operation with Kenyon and Co. Ltd., the � rm which built the overpass, and Commonwealth Con-struction Co., which paved the new highway sections in the Tappen area.
LIFE & TIMES
Like many residents, Paula Shields’ journey to Salmon Arm took her on
a long and winding road, one she is happy she made.
Her journey began in Jamaica, in a rural farming community, where reading was a huge part of her growing up. In particular, she devoured articles about the world in National Geographic. Her favourite sub-jects in school were history and geography.
Then came university. “By the time I got there, I already knew
I wouldn’t limit myself to live in the same country my whole life,” she smiles.
After university she worked for an airline, where she was able to travel. She liked To-ronto and decided to move there. However, it didn’t turn out as she had envisioned.
“In deciding to move to Canada, I was so excited at the prospect of going to some-place new, I never really sat around think-ing about the road blocks and challenges I would face and how I would get over them…,” she says, adding that enthusiasm is common for those coming from other countries. “And I think that’s what drives most immigrants. I was a hard worker, re-silient, enthusiastic and I moved to Toronto and I couldn’t get a job.”
Her lack of Canadian experience was of-ten given as a reason.
“Suddenly, everything you’ve worked for has been stripped away because you’re starting from the very bottom,” Shields re-
members.However, she did see a po-
sition advertised in the small community of Dorset, Ont., � ve
hours away. Perhaps the employer was as desperate
to � nd someone to work in an isolated place as
she was to � nd a job, she laughs. She was hired.
The people she worked for were
wonderful and wel-coming, although some in the tiny com-munity were not.
“Here I was the only black person – it wasn’t a bad thing for me but other people would look at me and said things under their breath or had assumptions about me. Perhaps they thought I wasn’t educated or not smart, based on not knowing me, or not having met me, or things they had in their head.”
She eventually returned to Toronto, work-ing on contract for the Attorney-General and then getting a job with a software com-pany, as well as going to college at night.
“I felt more or less at home, had a stable job and one which I enjoyed.”
Finding a place to live was tough.“You get on the phone, speak to the land-
lord and try to disguise your accent. When looking for housing, it’s better to sound as Canadian as ever.”
When Shields arrived at one place, the landlord wouldn’t allow her to view it. It was a painful experience, one which also left her angry.
“I was surprised – I spoke to this person (on the phone) half an hour before, and half an hour later they were unwilling to show me the place.”
Shields later visited Vancouver, where she fell in love with Stanley Park, and loved being near the ocean again. When a posi-tion came up in Burnaby with the company she was working for, she jumped at it.
Once there she also began volunteering with the city’s Citizen Support Services, shopping for housebound seniors. That was 2007 and Shields is still volunteering with
some of the same seniors, gathering the grocery lists by phone each week and send-ing them to volunteer shoppers in Burnaby.
Shields and her spouse, who she met in 2008, came to Salmon Arm when his family-owned business, which provides parts for manufacturing, decided to open a branch here.
Since then, Shields has volunteered with Okanagan College teaching English and tutoring math, as well as coordinating vol-unteers for Shuswap Theatre. She is vice-president of the Shuswap Settlement Ser-vices Society, using her years of experience to build bridges between newcomers and people who have lived here for generations.
“I wish when I’d moved to Toronto there was such a place offering to help immi-grants settle into the country,” she muses.
With her farming background, Shields loves Salmon Arm.
“The gains are really great, I love the out-doors, I love living in a small place, I feel I can contribute a little bit more than living in Vancouver.”
She says the only negative thing is she hasn’t been able to � nd paid work.
“The other little things, I deal with them in my own way, I don’t let them dampen my spirit,” she says, noting for instance that people will sometimes grill her on what she’s doing here, why she left Jamaica.
“Sometimes I think people who have never experienced racism don’t fully under-stand how powerful it is and how negative it is. It damages the community. Sometimes people think they’re being protective and have their own justi� cation. There isn’t any justi� cation for excluding people or treat-ing people badly.”
Shields is quick to add she doesn’t feel negative about Salmon Arm. She tells her story to help explain that newcomers to Canada have resilience and courage, want to be welcomed and to participate fully. They also help keep the economy going.
“It’s bene� cial if more people move here and help the community to grow.”

A woman leaves her home in the middle of the night, fleeing an abusive spouse who has threatened to kill her.
She realizes his vio-lence is escalating. Next time, she might not recover.
It was not easy to do, leaving with only a few belongings, but she knew it was her only choice. She moved to a new location, did everything she could think of to cover her tracks. She got an un-listed landline and a new cell phone.
Then she received a text, referring to her current location and stating it was listed on-line.
Horrified, she saw the text was from him. ~
Jane Shirley, ex-ecutive director at the Shuswap Area Family Emergency Society, or SAFE Society, says it’s important for ev-eryone, not only people in abusive situations, to be aware of ways pri-vacy can be invaded.
“As technology evolves, privacy be-comes less and less,” she says.
“It’s just a reminder to anyone, actually, but people in an abusive situation, if you’re put-ting information out there – Facebook, tele-phone – how secure is secure?”
She recommends caution in all situations where a person is pro-viding personal infor-mation.
“Be very cautious of who you give your numbers to. I don’t know how secure some of the systems are – find out policies before you enter into an agreement with a phone company, Inter-net company – check it out first to make sure you are secured.”
Marc Choma is spokesperson for the Canadian Wireless Telecommunications Association. He of-
fers a number of tips regarding privacy, par-ticularly pertaining to cell phones.
“Rule number one is if you do have a cell phone, you never let that be in anyone else’s hands other than your own,” he says, explain-ing you don’t want to give others a chance to install programs that could jeopardize secu-rity.
If that’s not possible, there are other steps to take, he advises.
• make sure your cell phone is password pro-tected and locked at all times.
• change your pass-word often.
• make sure operating systems are completely up to date, whether it’s your phone or com-puter. Updates can help get rid of flaws in pri-vacy protection.
“Another piece of advice, you really have to be careful what you’re downloading, whether to computer or cell phone. There are millions of apps out
there. Sometimes they can be a source of mal-ware… You really have to make sure you’re downloading from a reputable source.”
Choma also suggests cell phone users read all the information re-garding their device about privacy settings and, especially, loca-tion settings.
Asked about apps people who wish to in-vade privacy can install on your phone, Choma said he hears of them but isn’t sure of all the options.
“And of course there is hacking – that Ash-ley Madison mess going on,” he says, using the example of
an online ‘cheating’ website for married couples. According to media reports, hackers stole customer infor-mation from the site last month and later dumped 9.7 gigabytes of data, which is said to include account details on 32 million users.
Choma said if he was concerned someone had compromised his phone, he would “ei-ther get a new device or speak to the service provider and make sure anything downloaded onto the device has been wiped clean.”
He notes there are apps available so if a cell phone is stolen, the owner can remotely wipe out all the infor-mation it contains.
He suggests contact-ing your service pro-vider immediately if your phone has been stolen so it can be de-activated right away.
“A lot of newer phones have a kill switch built in. You can shut that phone down, it is locked and it will never be able to be used again.”
He notes how impor-tant this could be in a situation of domestic violence.
“They don’t just have access to your in-formation but all your contacts. You’re actu-ally protecting all your families and friends.”
Choma’s organi-zation has a website called Protect Your Data at www.protecty-ourdata.ca.
“Especially cell phones. A lot of times our lives, banking in-
formation, photos are there. There’s so much information now we like to keep in the palm of our hands,” he says, noting a cell phone may be worth $500 or $600, but “information can be just as danger-ous if it’s in the wrong person’s hands.”
Regarding sites such as Facebook, Choma warns users to pay close attention to who is going to see the in-formation they post.
“There are all kinds of privacy settings. I am shocked sometimes… the things you can see about someone’s life. (You wonder) why anyone would be post-ing that…”
There are, of course, ways other than via cell phone that privacy can be breached.
Another situation where private informa-tion could be spread is when a person is pro-viding details in a pub-lic place.
Shirley mentions a hospital’s emergency department, where an option would be to pass a note to staff re-questing privacy.
“If you are at the hospital or something like that, you are with-in your rights to speak to someone away from the public,” she says.
Mark Pugh, manager of Shuswap Lake Gen-eral Hospital, agrees.
“You always do have the option of saying can I speak to you in private,” he says, add-ing the hospital has to consider the nurse’s safety as well, so they normally wouldn’t go
into a completely pri-vate area.
Pugh notes that if a person has been admit-ted to hospital, they can request anonymity.
“We do have the abil-ity, if a person asks, we cannot release names or acknowledge they’re in the hospital. Only upon the request of the individual,” he says. “Normally we would acknowledge patients and a person could get the room number.”
He adds the hospital has “a very strenuous policy” for protecting the privacy of medical charts.

SAFE SOCIETY
SAFETYTips
Both Telus and Rogers suggest a method for keeping your identity private when making phone calls.
Writes Telus spokesperson Liz Sauvé in an email:
“What I can tell you is that dialing *67 from a landline or cell phone will hide your number during that call. That’s called per-call blocking, and someone picking up on the other end of the line will see ‘private’ or ‘blocked’ as opposed to your name or number. If customers want their call blocked at all times, we can do that for them.”
Aaron Lazarus, spokesperson for Rogers Communications, has a similar message:
“We do use technology that allows people to block their number – this can be especially important for people fleeing abusive situations.
“Call blocking can be done in wireless and landlines by dialling *67 before the call on landline or #31# on a cell phone. This will block anyone from seeing the incoming call number.
Regarding safety, Sauvé also writes:“In 2013, we launched a program called
Telus Wise, that stands for Wise Internet and Smartphone Education.
“This program is free to all Canadians and offers best-in-class training for parents and youth, focusing on Internet and smartphone safety and security to help keep families safer online. The content was developed in partner-ship with Media Smarts and other industry experts, and ranges from coaching parents on how to talk to their kids about the potential dan-gers of online and social media, to how adults can support their elderly parents and keep them safe from online dangers such as identity theft.”

On Sept. 9, Salm-on Arm will join the world in marking Inter-national Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorders Awareness Day.
This day, the ninth day of the ninth month, was chosen to symbol-ize the nine months of pregnancy.
Stop by the Shuswap Children’s Association on Sept. 9 at 240 Shus-wap St. NE between 1 and 3 p.m. for informa-tion and alcohol-free
“mocktails” to support local FASD Awareness Day.
Alcohol is more damaging to an unborn baby than tobacco, crack, cocaine, mari-juana or heroin, and while many women stop drinking as soon as they discover they are pregnant, alcohol can affect an unborn baby even before a woman knows she is pregnant.
The developing brain
is highly vulnerable to the toxic effects of alcohol at every stage of pregnancy, and if a woman avoids alco-hol for the entire nine months of her pregnan-cy, she will prevent the leading known cause of preventable devel-opmental disabilities in Canada: Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Discorders (FASD).
It is estimated that approximately one per cent of the population
lives with an FASD. It is a lifelong, incurable, and preventable condi-tion that is often invis-ible to others.
FASD is an umbrella term, meaning that there are several differ-ent diagnoses that are on the spectrum. Some (approximately � ve per cent of the spec-trum) include distin-guishing facial features or growth impairments among other physi-cal challenges, while
the majority of those on the spectrum show no physical signs but struggle academically, with daily living skills, or behaviourally. As these behaviours are often the only symp-tom, those living with an FASD are often misunderstood (As an example, “they could do it if they tried hard-er”).
The Public Health Agency of Canada agrees there is no safe
time, no safe type, and no safe amount of alco-hol if a woman is preg-nant or could become pregnant.
This international awareness day is nec-essary to educate com-munities about the importance of support-ing women to have an entirely alcohol-free pregnancy and avoid the lifelong conse-quences of FASD.
If you think you may be pregnant and are in-
terested in con� dential support, call Mother-isk at 1-877-327-4636 (877-FAS-INFO).
For more informa-tion about FASD, con-tact Nadine Moore, FASD keyworker for Shuswap Chil-dren’s Association, at NMoore@shuswap-childrens.ca or 250-833-0164 ext. 7.

ARIES (March 21-April 19): You’re restless and keen for change, but are others ready for your ambitious Aries ideas? Don’t rush Rams – consultation and attention to detail will get you a lot further than being slapdash. And don’t let your vivid imagination get the better of you – especially involving a romantic relationship, health issue or work matter.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Expect a family matter or DIY project to go haywire, as retrograde Venus leaves you wondering what on earth is going on! A pinch of patience will help you muddle through. Attached Bulls – your partner is looking to you for some sensible advice. Singles – you’re attracting a few admirers, but make them prove themselves before you ride off into the romantic sunset.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Try looking at people and situations in a more considered way this week Twins. All is not as it appears [especially at home, school or work] so be extra careful in the way you give and receive information. A colleague or family member is enthusiastic about a project but make sure you check the facts, figures and finances thoroughly before you commit.
CANCER (June 21-July 22): Crabs are capricious creatures and mood swings are likely this week, as you feel insecure. With Venus reversing through your self-esteem zone [until the weekend] comfort eating is a danger, as you strive to boost your spirits with sweet foods and calorie-laden treats. Try to employ some restraint Crabs! And learn to nurture yourself in other [less fattening] ways.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Is your killer Cat charisma failing to win over the masses at the moment? Fear not Lions! Venus stops reversing through your sign on Sunday September 6 [at 8.30 am London time] so you’ve only got a few more days of having to deal with a much less appreciative crowd. Be patient – your time in the Sun will come.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Attached Virgos – you’re keen to pursue a particular course of action but is your partner on the same page? Singles – don’t accept someone’s dating profile as the gospel truth. Seek some substantial clarification before you proceed. This week relationships are far more complex than they appear, and other people may have hidden agendas.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Mercury is currently in Libra which boosts your natural talent for networking, negotiating and communicating. But remember Venus is still in retro mode [until the weekend] so making social connections and smoothing over problems will take more time than you think. Your diplomatic skills will be indispensable on Thursday and Friday, when loved ones or colleagues get caught up in misunderstandings..
SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): The challenge is to let off Scorpio steam in smart and constructive ways, as you capitalise on the fiery Pluto power surge. Making brave changes in your personal life brings deep satisfaction. All forms of physical exercise are favoured, and passion and creativity are also highlighted. When you’re communicating with others, avoid being secretive or sulky [which are Scorpio specialties!]
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): When it comes to school, university or work, this week you may swing between supreme optimism and debilitating self-doubt [and back again] as your confidence levels go up and down like a yo-yo. Don’t stress Sagittarius … and quit focusing on what your so-called ‘competitors’ are doing.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): You’ve got the power to move mountains this week [courtesy of a welcome boost from Pluto]. But you could become increasingly impatient with a loved one’s lack of initiative and accountability. It’s not the time to tell others what to do, so pipe down and concentrate on personal projects instead.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Make the most of Venus reversing through your relationship zone [until September 6] as you reassess, resolve and rejuvenate a problematic partnership. You know what you need to do, but that doesn’t necessarily mean you’ll do it! Mysterious motivations are driving you at the moment, so who knows what road you’ll end up travelling on?
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): The ‘what-ifs’ may take over early in the week, as you question your actions and doubt your dreams. Nebulous Neptune certainly sucks the wind out of your Piscean sails, and you may feel lost, dazed, disappointed or confused.

Campers upset neighbours
Loud partying, people reliev-ing themselves on the ground, obnoxious attitudes.
These were just some things residents living near the salmon Arm recreation Centre say they had to put up with during the weekend of Aug. 22 and 23.
brenda Harrison lives in the Creekside development behind the swimming pool. she expe-rienced a sleepless, frustrating and nerve-wracking weekend be-cause of people attending hockey events who were camping in the rec centre parking lot.
“They just partied hard – you couldn’t sleep if you wanted to,” she says.
“They had music too, but it wasn’t my biggest concern, it was the language, and the inva-sion of privacy… The more they drank, the louder they got.”
Harrison estimates there were about a dozen vehicles with trail-ers, tent trailers and a tent.
Frightening for her was the use of a gas open pit fire and barbe-cues near the trees surrounding the complex where she lives.
“I’m not using my own bar-becue because there are all these dry, dry trees around our com-plex, and they were camped right there…” she stated last week.
Harrison says after her first sleepless night, she went over and asked the campers, who were adults, if they could move to the other end of the parking lot, near-er the curling rink.
“They were all sitting in a a circle and the one hockey player said ‘sure,’ and sarcastically said, ‘Nice doing business with
you.’ When I was walking away, they all burst into laughter. This is where I felt so humiliated at the brunt of a big joke and I burst into tears.”
The campers did eventually move to the other side of the parking lot.
Harrison said she was grateful for the fire department respond-ing quickly to her request for help. After the campers moved, Harrison said, they partied harder and began howling at the moon. one of the partiers relieved them-selves on the edge of her neigh-bour’s lawn.
“It was just a gong show.”Harrison said if people are be-
ing allowed to camp in the park-ing lot, they shouldn’t be allowed to do so right under residential windows.
“The swim club gets noisy but it’s not the same. And they’ve improved through the years too,” she said, adding that generators, however, are noisy for neigh-bouring properties.
Another resident, barb Angri-
gnon, has written a letter to city council on behalf of Creekside Townhome strata owners re-garding the weekend’s activities. It will be on the agenda at coun-cil’s sept. 14 meeting.
City staff report that the park-ing lot camping on the Aug. 22/23 weekend took place with-out the city’s permission.
Kevin Pearson, director of de-velopment services, explained in an email to the Observer that no one on staff has been designated the authority to approve rv camping, so the unwritten policy of staff is not to approve it.
However, city council can approve rv parking in the lot, which it did in February this year for the salmon Arm sockeyes’ July swim meet.
Pearson said zoning of the land allows for a campground, but not without city permission.
“staff is looking into the matter to see how this can be prevented in the future,” he said, noting the city does not have bylaw enforce-ment capability on weekends.
Concern: People camped without permission on city property near the SASCU Rec Centre and caused prob-lems for residents of nearby townhomes.

SASCU’s reminder to parentsA new provincial grant helps families save for children’s post-secondary education – if parents apply for it. The British Columbia Training and Education Savings Grant (BCTESG) is a $1,200 one-time grant that needs to be applied for after the child’s sixth birthday and before their ninth. Candy St. Pierre, a representative of SASCU Credit Union, advises parents to apply soon so it does not get missed.“The BCTESG is a great add-on to an existing Registered Education Savings Plan (RESP),” says St. Pierre. “A new RESP can be opened and the one-time grant can be applied for at that time for eligible children.”

What does the future hold for Canoe Beach and Klahani parks?
That will be the fo-cus for the company chosen in a request for proposals issued by the City of Salmon Arm. The city is advertising for a qualified consult-ing team to create a plan for both parks.
In 2012, the city’s Parks & Recreation Master Plan recom-mended that a Canoe Beach Park Plan be created to include op-portunities for expan-sion, with public safety and improving access the top priorities.
The Canoe Beach plan recommended would include con-
siderations such as: potential redevelop-ment of rental lots on the west end; boat launch improvements; parking; feasibility of dredging or a breakwa-ter to facilitate boating
and swimming; play-ground equipment up-grades; floating diving docks in the swimming area; and beach acces-sibility in terms of the railway crossing.
As for Klahani Park,
the Master Plan rec-ommends the plan ad-dress: expansion and upgrading of the play-ground; a multifunc-tional sport court for pickleball, basketball, hockey and tennis; a
plan for installation of a new four-ball-diamond tournament complex; replacement of existing washrooms and concession; con-sideration of additional amenities such as an
amphitheatre, outdoor stages, temporary camping/recreational vehicle area, an off- road bike skills park with easy to modera-tion zones; and a link to the South Canoe
Trail System. The city has bud-
geted $40,000 for the two plans. The propos-als must be received by Oct. 1 and a contract is expected to be awarded on Oct. 13.

Shuswap teams dominate cupThere was wind, rain
and sunshine. There was also more
than 450 smiles on the faces of the minor soc-cer players that par-ticipated in the second annual Shore N Score Cup on the many fields across the city this past weekend.
“All indications tell me that the teams and kids had a great time at the tournament,” said Shuswap Youth Soccer Association executive director Kevin Harri-son.
“This tournament is a great way to promote the game of soccer and our community. It also allows us to see how our teams measure up to different teams from around the province.”
In total 32 teams, 24 of which were from out of town, played in three boys divisions and four girls divisions.
Matches were played at Little Mountain, Blackburn Park and the Sullivan and Jackson campus fields.
As a result of all the action spread out across
the city, Harrison said their reffing situation was stretched very thin, but they coped well.
The tournament kicked off on Friday evening at SASCU Little Mountain Sports Fields under the lights and in blustery condi-tions.
Harrison said the kids loved playing un-der the lights, and he would like to continue to have a few matches a year be played under the lights.
“Mother Nature was tough this year. Last year it was 37 C and this year we had to deal with wind gusts and sideways rain at times,” said Harrison.
Despite the adverse weather conditions the teams representing the Shuswap fared very well against the visit-ing teams from across British Columbia and Alberta.
The U11 boys, U12/13 boys, and U12 girls each won the gold medal in their respec-tive divisions.
In the U14/15 boys division, Shuswap faced tough opposition from Calgary and the
Division A provincial- winning team from Port Moody.
The U11 girls wound up tied for third place in a competitive division.
Extra time was needed to decide the outcome of the U13/14 girls division, which saw Shuswap settle for the silver medal in a 2-1 score line.
In a nail bitting final
the Shuswap U15/16 girls were outdone 4-3 in a penalty shootout.
Harrison is pleased with the turnout at the tournament and is look-ing forward to next year – hoping to grow the tournament slowly over the coming years.
He says in order for the tournament to grow, the infrastructure has to be in place to allow
growth, citing the city’s proposal to upgrade the fields at Blackburn Park.
“The city is already a popular summer desti-nation and this tourna-ment can help add to that reputation.”
Harrison estimates the tournament helped draw in more than 1,000 visitors to the area over the weekend.

It may only be pre-season, but the Silver-backs are feeling con-fident after sweeping a home-and-home series with bitter rivals Ver-non, over the weekend.
From the opening faceoff on Friday night at the Shaw Centre, both teams played with playoff-style intensity.
Both sides were ini-tially frustrated. Salm-on Arm hemmed Ver-non in their own zone for the majority of the period but were unable to solve Jarrod Scham-merhorn.
However, the tides turned for the ’Backs as Josh Blanchard fin-ished off Taro Hirose’s cross-crease pass with about four minutes re-maining in the opening period.
Adding to Vernon’s frustration in the first frame was the fact that they only directed eight shots towards Zach Dy-ment and did not create a scoring chance.
The Silverbacks be-gan the second period brightly and doubled their lead when a beau-tiful team play ended when Nick Hutchison found a wide open Aar-on Aragon at the side of the net for a tap in.
Salmon Arm headed into the final period up by five, scoring three more times in the pe-riod courtesy of Colton Thibault, Sam De Melo and Hutchison.
The visitors would pull one back when Callum Volpe beat Sil-verbacks hopeful Dan-iel Toews.
Just over a minute later, Josh Laframboise iced the game for the Silverbacks.
“The boys competed
at a very high level to-night, which is what we want to see. It’s always exciting to play against Vernon,” said Brandon West, Silverbacks head coach.
On Saturday evening in Vernon, the Vipers dressed a more expe-rienced lineup than the previous night. The ’Backs controlled much of the opening play, peppering the Vipers goaltender An-drew Shortridge with 18 shots in the first pe-riod.
After a Vernon goal-ie change in the second period, the ’Backs Cam Coutre and Hutchison gave Salmon Arm a two goal lead in a span of 47 seconds.
The Vipers tilted the ice in their favour and scored three unan-swered goals, taking the lead for the first time in the game.
With time winding down and Angus Re-
mond pulled for an ex-tra attacker, the ’Backs newcomer on the blueline Brett Stewart blasted home a point shot through traffic, forcing overtime.
Despite a hand-ful of quality scoring chances, the Vipers couldn’t grab their first win of the preseason as Hutchison would score his second of the night to give the ’Backs a 4-3 win in the extra frame.
West said the main camp started with more than 45 players was extremely successful. Thirteen of those play-ers were returnees.
“I was really im-pressed by our return-ing players, it was great to see their improve-ment,” said West.
There were two hometown products that did not take part in the training camp, Alex Astasiewicz and Car-son Bolduc.
Astasiewicz puzzled
the organization by not attending the camp, and has since made a decision to retire from the junior hockey.
In Bolduc’s case, he missed the camp due to personal family mat-ters. No time frame was given as to when he would return to the roster. West said the team is pulling for him and his family.
With only two exhi-bition games remain-ing before the start of the season, there are only a handful of ros-ter positions left up for grabs.
“We are looking for 22 leaders in the room this year. Whether they are 16 or 20-years-old they will be a leader on this team,” said West.
The Silverbacks face off against West Kelowna in their final home game of the ex-hibition season this Fri-day at the Shaw Cen-tre. Puck drop is 7 p.m.
The Silverbacks open regular season play on Sept. 11 against Pentic-ton at the Shaw Centre. Game time is 7 p.m.

Down. Set. Hike!These three words
will soon be replacing the sounds of soccer at SASCU Little Moun-tain Sports Fields as the Shuswap Bantam Chargers minor foot-ball team are set to kickoff their season this Saturday.
This year will be a little different for the Chargers compared to their past seasons.
For the first time, the Bantam Chargers will be taking part in the Vancouver Main-land Football League, instead of the South-ern Interior Football League.
“Unfortunately there was no Bantam divi-sion in the Interior league this year, but luckily the Mainland league took us in and are able to accom-modate us,” said Rob Ellis, Shuswap Minor Football vice president and Bantam coach.
The Chargers will start their season at 1:30 p.m. on home turf versus the Meadow Ridge Knights from Maple Ridge.
The Chargers will play 10 games in to-tal. Six will be in the Lower Mainland while the other four will be home games at SAS-
CU Little Mountain Sports Fields.
“The only time we have played teams from the Lower Main-land is in provincials, so this year will be a very challenging but fun year for us.”
Ellis says the Char-gers have a fast and big squad with lots of returning players that will allow the team to be competitive in the new league.
“These are the best teams in the province, the competition level will be higher than last year, but I know the
team is up for the chal-lenge.”
Also hitting the grid-iron this weekend are the Jr. Bantam Broncos and the Peewee Colts as they take on the Ver-non Magnums in Ver-non on Sunday.
“The Broncos look like they will be very competitive this year. They are 30-men strong this year and they have good size and speed,” said Ellis.
On the other hand, the Colts are “brand-spanking new” says Ellis.
He says there are
only two or three re-turning players to the Peewee roster this year.
The Broncos and
Colts first home game of the season won’t be held at Little Mountain until Sunday, Sept. 20.

Juvenile team makes return to Salmon Arm
For the first time in years, Salmon Arm Minor Hockey Associ-ation will attempt to ice a Juvenile recreation team in the Okana-gan Mainline Amateur Hockey Association.
Since overage midg-et players will not be allowed to participate in the Midget Recre-ation Superleague as of this year, interested players between the ages of 18 and 20 have an option for signing up to play juvenile hockey.
Salmon Arm has an illustrious history in juvenile hockey as they brought home the pro-vincial championships
back in the early ’70s.First practise is ten-
tatively scheduled for Sept. 10. Players
must bring registration forms and fees prior to first skate on Sept. 10. Four other teams in the Okanagan might join
this league. “I am all for finding
this age group a place to continue playing hockey,” states Kim Dodge, one of the team’s organizers.
There is a possibility that four other teams in the Okanagan will join this league.
Long-time veteran minor hockey coach Mark Sandau has agreed to coach the team.
For more infor-mation, interested players can contact Betty Turko at 250-253-8163, Kim Dodge at 250-832-7626 or the minor hockey office at 250-832-0095.

ARTS & EVENTSJust because the Salmon Arm Fair is a
fall tradition with more than 100 years in operation doesn’t mean the line-up remains the same.
Along with the old favourites, there’s plenty of new fare to entice pa-trons through the gates.
New this year is the pizza eating contest, sponsored by Dough Boyz. There are two categories: junior, which is ages 8 to 12 and senior for those aged 13 and older.
Potential participants need to enter their name at Dough Boyz Pizza on Shuswap Street.
For the � nal entrants, � ve contestants will be randomly drawn for each catego-ry. Entries are being accepted until Sept. 7. Contestants will have seven minutes to eat as much cheese pizza as possible. All participants get a free day pass to the fair and a gift from Dough Boyz. Winners will receive a prize package. The contest will run Sunday, Sept. 13 on the Memory Lane Stage. Juniors will run at 1 p.m. and the se-nior class is set for 3 p.m.
For horse lovers, the fair is presenting Thundering Impact, which is a drill team with a difference. Instead of a thorough-bred or Arabian, this team features heavy horses – Clydesdales and Percherons, for example. The team is from Maple Ridge and is sure to impress with their routines. The team will perform two shows each day, often ahead of the popular mini chuckwag-on racers.
Also new to the fair is the Amazing School Day Race, which will see groups of students from 16 different elementary schools participating in fun stations includ-ing cow milking, butter making, gold pan-ning, creating balloon animals, bee-keep-ing and racing zucchinis. As a side note, the fair is in search of extra zucchinis for the races, so if you have some to donate, contact the fair of� ce at 250-832-0442.
Dogs are also back on deck for the fair, with obedience demonstrations and duck herding demonstrations.
The kids area will feature some new
events, entertainment and displays with gold panning, magician Clinton Grey and the Farmer for a Day program, which will feature interactive displays for kids to learn about agriculture. Zucchini races will also take place on Saturday and Sunday.
As well, there will be a special kids cupcake decorating on both Saturday and Sunday and a cake decorating event in the Artisan Building on Saturday.
Sunday will feature both llama and goat obstacle and agility courses with the chance
for crowd participation.Back for this year is the poultry divi-sion, with a number of classes for the
feathered set. The ever-popular Shuswap Idol
competition will continue and this year’s � nalists have already audi-tioned and will be ready to perform.
They include Arianna Vrieling, Car-son Venne, Cole Levesque, Elizabeth
Joy, Guy Fredric, Laura Close, Lena Arkell, Mara Baker, Megan Abel, Megan
Lauridsen, Paul Kinnunen and Shelly De-sautels.
New to the entertainment this year will be Dan the One-Man Band who, as his name suggests, single-handedly plays mu-sic from the Great Depression right through to today’s hits.
“We’ve had a chance to see him perform and he is really great, super entertaining,” says Star MacGregor, chairperson of the fair. “I think the crowds are going to love him.”
And embracing the latest fad in photog-raphy the Sel� e contest has been added.
To enter the Sel� e competition, email your 1 MB or less photo in jpg format to myselie@shuswapphotoarts.com, includ-ing your name and age, by Aug. 31. All quali� ed photos will be digitally displayed during the Fair. No professionally shot photos. For further rules and details please see the Fair Book or go to the Fair website www.salmonarmfair.com.
Back due to popular demand will be the Global FMX Motocross show, set up on 5th Avenue between the two sides of the fairgrounds.
“They might not be new, but they thrill everyone with their stunts,” says Mac-Gregor. “They were the most requested thing to see again, because they are so thrilling to watch.”
Always popular with kids of all ages, Shooting Star Midway opens Sept. 11 at 3 p.m. and noon on Saturday and Sunday.
Save $10 when you buy wristbands from Askew’s in Salmon Arm from Sept. 7 to 10.
Wristbands are available on-site for $35 per day.
Fan favourite: Mini chuckwagon racer Charlene Bier hollers to her min-iature ponies as they round the barrels at the Salmon Arm Fall Fair. This popular event will be returning to the fairgrounds grandstand.

Events on deck at HaneyR.J. Haney Heritage Village
& Museum is proud to present Prairie sweethearts, Belle Plaine and Blake Berglund in concert on Friday, Sept. 11.
The Grant MacEwan alumna jazz singer and cowboy song-writer don’t only complement each other vocally, but their on-stage chemistry is infectious.
They have individually re-leased numerous studio albums, toured nationally and developed brands recognized industry wide, while always staying true to their Saskatchewan roots.
Belle and Blake will release their limited edition, double/sin-gle take on two Zachary Lucky-penned tracks on Friday, Sept. 4.
The production of their ’70s inspired seven-inch vinyl was overseen by Jason Plumb and recorded at CBC Studio One in Regina, Saskatchewan.
Belle and Blake are spending the month of September on the road promoting their first vinyl release.
The duo’s unique style is a result of amalgamating their bands. Jeremy Sauer (keys) and Elizabeth Curry (bass) are Belle Plaine’s regular sidemen, and split musicianship duties with Berglund’s Vultures, Steve Leidal (drums) and Bryce Lewis
(electric guitar). The sound is a soulful twang. Lead and harmony vocals are
traded with ease, and comple-ment both Berglund and Plaine’s respective styles.
Tickets for Belle Plaine and Blake Berglund in concert, may be purchased by calling 250-836-2226.
For more information on Belle Plaine and Blake Berglund please visit: www.belleplaine-music.com or www.blakeber-glund.com.

All things appleSample Cuban sound
Latin style: Brisas del Palmar will make an appearance at the Salmar Classic.
Photo contributed
The rich harmonies of Brisas del Palmar have been pleasing crowds in Santiago de Cuba since their incep-tion in 1999 – and now they are bringing their sweet sounds to Salm-on Arm.
Brisas del Palmar will play a special per-formance at the Salmar Classic Theatre on Fri-day, Sept. 11 at 7:30 p.m.
The quintet proudly presents a varied reper-toire of traditional Cu-ban music: a capellas, romantic ballads, salsa,
son, guaracha, meren-gue, cumbia, bachata, where they perfected all these types of music and original composi-tions, while reflecting their unique style and interpretation.
They are known in Cuba as one of the lead-ing groups of traditional music and won special recognition at the 2000 International Festival of Boleros in Santiago de Cuba. They placed second in the 2001 Festival of Singers of the Americas, held in Guantanamo, Cuba.
In winter months, Brisas del Palmar per-formed at the Bodequi-ta del Medio, the Ha-vana bar made famous by Ernest Hemingway, now the most important music venue in Havana.
They have toured B.C. since 2003, play-ing to enthusiastic crowds at music festi-vals and concerts.
Tickets are available at the Salmar Grand and Classic theatres. Admission is $25 for adults, $20 for seniors. Kids 12 and under are free.

(NC) It’s no secret that the beautiful Canadian summer weather helps kick start our physical activity. While we all know moving our bodies is good for our health, there is a scientific link between moving our bodies and happiness.
“Moving regularly and eating well has been shown to help with depression, anxiety and other mood disorders,” said Kathleen Trotter, a Canadian fitness and nutrition expert. “I always tell my clients that the worse their mood the more important the workout because gets them into a positive headspace.
Activity also positively affects the cardiovascular, lymphatic and digestive system as well as metabolism. It is associated with decreased risk of cardiovascular disease, stroke and diabetes, and affects how our bodies metabolize glucose.
According to Trotter, proper nutrition also plays an integral role in managing symptoms of depression, anxiety and other mood disorders. Blood sugar imbalances, allergies, and deficiencies in vitamins, minerals, essential fats and amino acids have all been linked to low mood. To run properly, our body needs vitamins and minerals to make neurotransmitters and hormones and stabilize our blood sugar. Neurotransmitters and hormones help our body maintain balance and health which in turn effects our mood.
Vitamins like vitamin B, specifically B6, and folic acid help produce serotonin efficiently. Therefore a diet high in B vitamins and folic acid, found in beans, nuts and vegetables, is usually advised to help stabilize mood.
“When I’m on the go I reach for a burrito because it packs the protein, veggies and beans,” said Trotter, adding that restaurants like Quesada Burritos & Tacos offer healthy options that are less than 500 calories.
Often times, people get caught up in the amount of time they should be working out. However, Trotter said
this is a trap.
“Don’t question if what you are doing is enough,” she added. “Any amount of movement - whether it lasts for twenty minutes or two minutes - will positively affect your health.”

With much sadness and immense gratitude for a long life well lived, we announce that Jack/Dad/Grandpa/G r e a t - G r a n d p a Davies passed away peacefully with his wife Stella by his side on August 29, 2015 in his 90th year.
Jack was born April 25, 1925, immediately following his twin sister Nancy, who he always claimed he had kicked outof the womb first. He was the youngest of seven children to parents Lewis and Mary Davies of PortAlberni, BC. Following a very happy childhood,Jack left high school at the age of 17 1/2 to join theNavy with his mother’s permission. He proceeded to go to university for fourteen months and becamean electrical artificer. He toured the Pacific andAtlantic Oceans during WWII. When the war ended he returned home to Port Alberni where he put hiselectrical skills to use to help build houses. Whenthe Government postal service came to Port Albeni, Jack jumped on board to become a mail carrierand had the honour of delivering the first letterto the mayor. After a short time Jack returned to electrical work with the BC Power Commission andeventually BC Hydro for the remainder of his career.
Jack met his wife Stella at the age of 21. After a two-year courtship they were married May 15th, 1948 in Port Alberni. They moved into their firsthome together in Sproat Lake and began buildingtheir family. First came daughter Diane, then son Keith. After seven years in Sproat Lake, they madetheir first move of many to Vernon BC, followed by Prince George, Alert Bay where Jack was promoted to district manager, then on to Nakusp, Invermere, and Courtney, until finally putting down permanentroots in Salmon Arm in 1974. Jack retired from theHydro business in 1985 and began to focus on hisother interests and hobbies.
Throughout his adult life, Jack was involved in theKinsmen and Rotary clubs, where he participated in community projects, and was also involved withthe Cancer Society as a volunteer. He was very active with the BC Power Pioneers. In addition tohis humanitarian work, Jack also loved to work withhis hands. He loved woodworking best and builthomes, toys, and furniture, among other projects,and had a tool collection that would put your localHome Hardware to shame. Jack was generous with his talents and time and was quick to helphis family, friends, and neighbours with their own projects.
Above all else, Jack was a family man. He was a devoted and loving husband, a wonderful father tohis two children, and an adoring, proud grandfather and great-grandfather. Family always came first forJack, and he welcomed every opportunity to gatherthem together, whether for holidays, summervacations at the lake, or just a simple family dinner. His wife Stella was the apple of his eye for 69 yearsand the greatest love of his life.
Jack was a quiet, private person with a quick witthat bordered on mischievous and a heart of gold.He will be greatly missed and fondly rememberedby wife Stella, daughter Diane (Brian), son Keith (Leslie), grandchildren Melanie, Erik, Angela,Roslyn, and Ashley, and all 8.5 great-grandchildren.
A celebration of life will be held at the United Church, 450 Okanagan Ave SE, Salmon Arm, BC,on Friday September 4th at 11am. Reception tofollow in the church hall. In lieu of flowers, pleasegive a donation to the charity of your choosing.

ALLEN HUGH BINGHAMSeptember 01, 1955 – August 23, 2015. God called the other
night. He was looking for a registrar for his Minor Hockey League in Heaven, so he took the best!
On Saturday, August 22nd, Wendy Jane (Salter) Pottie volunteered to go to the big arena in the sky.
Wendy was born January 8th 1935 in Salmon Arm B.C. She grew up in Blind Bay, B.C.on the family homestead (Notch Hill). She livedthere with her parents Alfred and Edith Salter and her only sister Elizabeth Anne (Salter) Code, (all of whom predeceased her.) These were the dayswhen she rode her horse down the hill to Blind Bay School.
After completing high school and Sr. Matric (grade13) in Salmon Arm, she attended business schoolin Vernon. Wendy then returned to Salmon Armand worked at the Bank of Commerce, and later atFederated Co-op.
Wendy loved her Family. She also loved Hockey. She was a proud Canadian who also enjoyedsewing, reading, gardening, hockey, pottery, tea,hockey, Chinese food, Hummingbirds, hockey,CBC radio and hockey. Wendy was never withouta family dog.
Wendy enjoyed many hours of watching childrenof all ages play minor hockey in any, and many arenas. She watched Hockey Night in Canada ontelevision… unless there was a Silverbacks gamein town.
Wendy and John enjoyed many trips to mountainmeadows in the spring, to see the wild flowers inbloom. Wendy also enjoyed… play-off hockey!
Many might remember Wendy as the registrar ofSalmon Arm Minor Hockey a volunteer for some 35 tireless years.
Wendy is survived by her husband John of 59years, their children Marie (Valley) Bebee of Enderby,Michael of Castlegar, B.C, Pamela (Matt) Dickeyof Costa Mesa California, and Chris of Vernon.Grandchildren Nevan Bebee, Sarah (Brandon) Estabrooks of Enderby, Danielle Dickey of CostaMesa, and Riley Pottie of Red Deer Alberta.
In her last few years, she found her greatest joy in her Great Grand-daughter, Emrie Belle Estabrooks of Enderby.
Fondly remembered by her nieces and nephews,Jerry (Linda), Debbie (Chris), Shelley (Jeff), Jay(Natalie), their Children and grandchildren, Melissa, Spencer (Ainslie), Cody, Seamus, Alexander,Shannon, Gweneth, Piper. Wendy was predeceasedby her niece Linnie Code.
The family would sincerely like to thank Dr. Plessis and the Community Care Aides who came to theirhome during the past ten years. Thank you also to the kind staff in Dogwood neighborhood, at ParkPlace, Piccadilly for their excellent comfort andcare of Wendy in her last few days.
Wendy always enjoyed flowers, but would havebeen most appreciative for a donation to SalmonArm Minor Hockey, PO Box 2323, Salmon Arm, BCV1E 4R3 so that a child, less fortunate, could playthe game; or to the Stroke Recovery Associationof BC 301 -1212 West Broadway, Vancouver, BC V6H 3V1.
The family would like to enjoy a private family gathering for now, but plan a celebration of Life in the summer of 2016. (When the Hockey season is over.)
Thank-you to Dave Wallensteen of BowersFuneral Home for taking care of the arrangements.
Condolences may be sent to the family throughWendy’s obituary at www.bowersfuneralservice.com

Auditions - Mt. Ida HarmonyJust over 75 years ago, about 20 men got to-gether in the rooftop gardens of a hotel in Tulsa, Oklahoma, to “just sing for fun.” They enjoyed the experience so much that the Barbershop Harmony Society was formed, and it has now beome the world’s greatest hobby, as well as the world largest all male singing association, with members participating in Barbershop Har-mony on every continent the world over!
For over 75 years now, the Barbershop Har-mony Society has made tremendous strides in their music learning techniques, so the ability to readily read music is not really necessary. All that is needed is the desire to sing together with a fun bunch of guys! Mount Ida Harmony is hoping to increase their numbers by holding “Auditions For Admission.”
So men, if you are over 14 years, and if you like to “sing in the shower,” you’ll love singing together with Mount Ida Harmony on Thurs-day, September 17 at the Community Room at Askew’s Uptown Store! No obligations! No commitments! No strings attached!
