Salmon Arm RcMP have confirmed a Sept. 9 fire at Pedro Gonzales Fruit and Garden ltd. was the result of arson.

“We have established the source of the fire and are speaking to various witnesses with respect to their obser-vations,” said Sgt. carlos Tettolowski Monday. “I expect the investigation to last several weeks.”

Pedro’s co-owner dale Ruth is happy to leave the in-vestigation in the hands of po-lice.

“The RcMP are doing a great job,” he says.

Shock and despair  over the fire that destroyed a feed barn, half of the main sales build-ing and the product inside, are turning to hope and gratitude for the whole family.

“Saturday was somewhat normal for us,” said Ruth of Pedro’s albeit limited opening. “It was very encouraging for us and I wouldn’t have expected otherwise – this town is amaz-ing.”

Ruth says everyone connect-ed to the thriving business has

experienced a gamut of emotions.“It has been an emotional rollercoaster,” he says of the

first few days that were “powered by adrenalin” when everyone was scrambling to get organized. “There was so much to think about. “What about the lady that had ordered all that chicken feed? Just so much going through my mind.”

like the other members of the family, Ruth is anxious to get back to normal as soon as possible, noting with satisfaction that more and more people, including young folks, are developing an interest in locally-grown pro-duce – something that encourages the family to grow and sell the best produce they can.

An outbreak of e. coli in Interior Health has prompted the health authority and the Bc centre For disease con-trol to issue a public alert to avoid consuming cheese from Gort’s Gouda cheese Farm.

One person has died and two other Interior Health res-idents are recovering from e. coli-caused illnesses.

Of eight people in the province to have contracted e. coli recently, four have been confirmed to have the same e. coli 0157:H7 strain, and all said they had eaten cheese from Gort’s Gouda

cheese Farm.The illness was first re-

ported in July, with the ma-jority occurring at the end of August and beginning of September.

“Three are IH residents and one of the three is the person who died,” said dr. Rob Parker, medical health officer for Interior Health.

“The IH resident who died had consumed Gort’s cheese and had a lab-confirmed case of e. coli 0157:H7, and that particular bacteria was a ‘finger-print match’ (with the other cases).”

Parker said health officials are still trying to determine

“We’re still picking corn and apples and we have a commitment to our growers down south,” said co-owner Nicole Ruth last week, noting the kind words and encouragement offered by the many people stopping by and calling has helped energize the family to move forward.

“People are jumping in to help, dropping their day’s schedule to help us with power and water,” she said, noting how well the many small, local businesses stick together. “Other small businesses rely on us for their businesses and we’re trying to accommodate them.”

Also encouraging the Ruths are the 10 to 15 regular employees who have worked for the fam-ily for several years.

Pedro’s will remain open until late fall. The family plans to have the business completely up and running by next spring.

how much the E. coli contributed to the death.

When the onset oc-curred in July, it was a cause for concern but, as an isolated case, did not ring alarm bells. The province gets a number of E. coli cases throughout the year and while they try to iden-tify the source, people are sometimes unable to pinpoint the cause of the illness.

It takes anywhere from two to four weeks from the time a person gets ill to get the bacte-ria fingerprinting done and matched.

In terms of the out-break linked to Gort’s, health officials saw a cluster developing only last week, said Parker.

Neither Interior Health nor the BCCDC would confirm whether the person who died is young or old, male or female, only that they contracted the illness late in August.

Officials at the Ca-nadian Food Inspection

Agency (CFIA) are working to determine which specific cheese is implicated in the out-break.

A CFIA inspec-tor was on-site on the weekend and “strongly recommended” Gort’s stop the sale of all cheeses, which they did Saturday, Parker said.

The CFIA was ex-pected to issue a recall of Gort’s cheese or cheeses infected with E. coli late yesterday.

In the meantime, In-terior Health and the

BCCDC are advising people not to eat any cheese from Gort’s Gouda and to throw out any remaining cheese.

Kathy and Gary Wik-kerink have owned Gort’s Gouda Cheese Farm for six years and have six employees and 70 cows. The owners were not available for comment.

Their product is dis-tributed in most local grocery stores, some specialty stores in the Okanagan and in Van-couver.

Bluegrass musi-cians are expressing their sorrow follow-ing the death Sunday of accomplished banjo player Gene Bretecher of Sorrento.

Bretecher was fish-ing on Shuswap Lake some 30 metres from shore when he fell out of his boat just before 1 p.m. Sept. 15.

Bretecher’s wife, Linda, saw her hus-band fall into the water and called for help.

A retired RCMP of-ficer and former dive team member was on the scene in minutes and assisted in pull-ing the 74-year-old Bretecher from the wa-ter.

CPR was performed, and Emergency Health Services arrived on scene a short time later.

But efforts to resus-citate Bretecher were unsuccessful.

Chase RCMP re-port Bretecher was not wearing a life-jacket at the time of the ac-cident.

A talented and popu-lar bluegrass musician,

Bretecher’s death has touched many in the music world. 

“I toured with him in a band for quite a number of years, in Canadian Whitewater, and he was just one of my favourite people in the world,” says popular bluegrass mu-sician Chris Stevens, who shared fun travel adventures across the globe. “He was a con-summate professional, a wonderful banjo player and flat-picking guitar player.”

Bretecher taught a number of different courses at Sorrento Centre every summer for more than a decade and at a variety of old-time fiddle camps.

“It almost sounds so patent to say, but he

smiled a lot,” says Ste-vens. “That was a thing about Gene, that’s what he enjoyed, the camaraderie and the music.”

Another well-known s i n g e r- s o n g w r i t e r and musician, Blu Hopkins, described Bretecher as a gentle

man and an inspiration.“Gene touched so

many people. In all the time I knew him and from all the people who played with him, I have never heard a negative comment about him,” Hopkins said. “He’ll be sorely missed by all of us.”

A prolific thief may be off the street for a while.

On Sunday, Sept. 15, at approximately 9:15 p.m., Salmon Arm RCMP responded to a complaint that a phone had been stolen from a locked vehicle on Shus-wap Street in Salmon Arm.

Someone had smashed the driver’s side window to access

the vehicle. While on scene, police received several other calls indi-cating that a male had been seen checking other vehicles.

Police patrolled and located a suspect matching the descrip-tion of the thief a short distance away.

The suspect, a 34-year-old man, was found in possession of stolen property and

drugs on scene, was ar-rested and held in cus-tody for court.

The man was also found to be wanted on an outstanding warrant for arrest in B.C. and numerous non-return-able warrants from At-lantic Canada.

Police say they be-lieve the suspect is re-sponsible for several other thefts and break and enters in the area .

A Sept. 16 announcement that a provincial website will give British Columbians an opportunity to ex-press their opinions about the liquor industry has further fueled anger for a private liquor store owner.

In a press release Monday, Attor-ney General and Minister of Justice Suzanne Anton said government has been hearing from industry and stake-holders about changes they would like made to B.C.’s liquor laws.

Anton said the province is looking for “common-sense changes that bal-ance consumer convenience and eco-nomic activity with public health and safety.”

But common sense is not a word Hideaway Pub owner Gord Erickson applies to a government looking for opinons when, he says, it is working in direct competition with private li-quor store owners.

Erickson takes issue with the fact Salmon Arm’s provincial liquor store has moved closer to him and in a much more prominent location on the Trans-Canada Highway, and will fea-ture many of the specialized features the government enthusiastically rec-ommended private liquor store own-ers provide 10 years ago when it was announced the province was getting out of liquor sales.

He says the government has broken its own rules by moving their liquor store closer than the one-kilometre

distance required for private stores and is selling liquor at prices private owners cannot match.

“The fact that government dictates our purchase price and can manipu-late it to their advantage, basically they make it so we can’t compete with their stores by making our cost of sales much, much higher than theirs,” he says. “The fact that they are using this survey or test market to see what the people want is laughable.”

Erickson is also angry the local government liquor store will be one of only seven in the province to fea-ture walk-in coolers, something that has, until now, provided private liquor stores with a bit of an edge.

When asked why the province would build such a specialized store in Salmon Arm, a small community already served by five private liquor stores, Parliamentary Secretary for Liquor Policy Reform, John Yap, said the pilot project is being introduced to stores that are either new or undergo-ing renovations, which made them ideal candidates for the new cold rooms.

To Erickson, the bottom line is why the government is in competition with privately owned stores.

“The fact remains, the rules for government are different than the rules for private sector in the same marketplace,” he says. “Tell me how that’s fair?”

A call to Shuswap MLA Greg Kyl-lo did not receive a response by press time.

Editorial

Everyone enjoys a break from their daily routine. Long weekends and vacations are always appreci-ated.

So, who are we to begrudge our prime minister, Stephen Harper, for wanting to prorogue parlia-ment for a couple of months?

The current parliamentary session, the 41st, has been running for 222 days. Not quite two-thirds of a year, but that’s a lot of question periods ducking and weaving questions and scandals like a punch-drunk boxer.

But wait, those 222 days are actually spread over a two-year period.

The 41st parliamentary session started in June 2011, following the general election, and was in session for 68 days, another 129 days in 2012 and another 75 days in 2013.

No matter, Harper said he decided to prorogue the 41st parliamentary session because the Conser-vative government had achieved most of what it had set out to do in the last Speech from the Throne. Word is, Harper will ask the Governor General to call MPs back in October.

Meanwhile, B.C.’s Premier Christy Clark is also putting the provincial legislature on hold for a bit.

If things were going well we could forgive our hard-working leaders for wanting a little ‘me-time.’ But things aren’t going well.

We hope Harper and Clark use their time off constructively to come up with economic action plans that actually benefit Canadians and British Columbians who are out of work and/or living in poverty.

Taking a relaxing break from scrutiny

Sharing Terry’s dreamPhew, I did it.After coming out of the closet, so-to-speak, about my recent

foray into running, I took my running shoes to the streets of Salmon Arm on Sunday for the Terry Fox Run. 

I started to run, somewhat clandestinely in the early morning or under cover of darkness, mostly because I didn’t want other peo-ple to see how slow I might be going or the look of anguish upon my furrowed brow as I huffed and puffed up just about any hill. 

My mantra became, “It doesn’t matter how fast you are going, you are still beating everyone who is sitting on the couch.”

This past week I was feeling a bit discouraged because I caught the first of the back-to-school viruses from my children, and was feeling pretty congested and wondered what I had gotten myself into. Then, funnily enough, I was watching TV and saw a clip of Terry Fox dipping his foot in the Atlantic and felt somewhat sheepish when thinking of comparing my nasal congestion to his determination to run miles through constant pain to help fund cancer research.

“I just wish people would realize that anything’s possible if you try; dreams are made possible if you try,” Terry Fox said. 

And once I arrived at Blackburn Park, there was another person to admire. Howard Overend has run all 33 Terry Fox runs, ever since the start of the Marathon of Hope in 1980. But what is truly remarkable was to see Howard out in his shorts and Tilley Hat, ready to run this year – at age 94. No, that was not a misprint. Truly, Howard embodies Fox’s spirit. 

And then there was Zachary Watkins, the five-year-old who now joins my twins in kindergarten. He was still in diapers when he was diagnosed and endured surgery and chemotherapy. Sun-day, Zach rode his bike in the 2-km and gave me a high five be-fore the start. He’s a survivor. 

It was also heartening to hear organizer Cliff Evans speak about how, when Terry began his Marathon of Hope, his chance of sur-viving his form of cancer was five per cent. Today, that prognosis has jumped to 85 per cent. It is advances in cancer care, which have come from years of study and clinical trials, that have made the difference. But research doesn’t come cheap – and it is the support of average citizens, all of whom, I think it is safe to say, have been touched in some way by this terrible disease, that has helped make that difference. 

While running four kilometers has not exactly been a lifelong dream, it was something I didn’t believe I could do – until I tried. It feels good to know that my efforts, along with others across the country, generated funds to support the continuation of Terry’s dream. Not only did I jog the course to the finish, but I also man-aged to surpass my fundraising goal. I know it will be money well spent.

Thank you to those who supported my personal fundraising drive and to all those in the Shuswap who donated to the cause. An initial count shows $6,100 was raised locally. 

Hope to see you there next September.

View PointThe Observer asked:What do you think about the parking time limits in the downtown core?

Muriel Schubert“More people would consider shopping in the downtown area if there were fewer restrictions on parking.”

Nancy Whitticase“The one hour on the streets and two hours in the parking lots is fair.”

Warren Welter“If more people rode bikes they wouldn’t have to worry about parking .”

Paul Walker“I’m all for free parking but for a reasonable amount of time so people won’t park all day.”

Mike Gilburg“It should be at least two hours so that people have enough time to shop.”

VICTORIA – When Christy Clark be-came premier in 2011, one of her first priorities was to delay steep increases in BC Hydro rates.

BC Hydro was heading to the B.C. Utilities Commission to apply for rate increases totalling 32 per cent over three years. This, obviously, was a problem for an unelected premier whose single mes-sage was that she was good for families, and who faced an election in two years.

The government’s Mr. Fix-It, Rich Coleman, first tried to delay a couple of expensive seismic upgrades, adding to the long history of political fiddles that pushed off expensive problems. BC Hydro’s engineers soon convinced him that if the creaky old Ruskin and Camp-bell River dams were to bust in a quake, it wouldn’t be good for families down-stream.

Coleman scraped up some internal savings in the vast utility and met Clark’s pre-determined target of keeping rate in-creases below four per cent in the pre-election period. Mission accomplished, as George W. Bush might have said.

Then last week, an August working paper on the need for BC Hydro rate hikes was leaked. It showed BC Hydro making a case for new increases total-ing 26 per cent over two years. The leak came via the Canadian Office and Pro-fessional Employees local 378, the BC Hydro inside staff union that has a his-tory of mostly juvenile attacks on the B.C. Liberal government.

Bill Bennett, the current energy min-ister, spent the next couple of days re-peating to anyone who would listen that this initial proposal had already been rejected, and that work was well along to make the rate increase more palat-able. Perhaps it’s back to where it was in 2011.

COPE 378 and the NDP played their rehearsed roles. Both tried to blame the situation on private power contracts. The union and its political front are less con-cerned about rising power bills than they are about holding onto the state monop-oly on electricity generation.

Energy industry lawyer David Austin calculates that of the proposed 26.4-per-cent increase, about 3.5 per cent can be attributed to BC Hydro buying power from private sources, at prices competi-tive with new public power sources such as the Site C dam. Most of it comes from the overdue repairs to those old dams, other costly projects including the addi-tion of turbines to two Columbia River dams, and deferred debt from previous political meddling.

In August I reported that as many as 20 of BC Hydro’s existing private power purchase contracts will be cancelled or deferred. This was also seized upon to portray private power as the root of all evil, both financially and environmen-tally.

In fact the attrition rate on these proj-ects has always been about one out of three. This is what happens when the risks of expanding the provincial electri-cal grid are shared with private investors.

These run-of-river and wind projects were promoted to maximize clean en-ergy sources, as well as to spread the grid to remote areas. This was Gordon Campbell’s climate change strategy.

Then came the gas boom. Clark seized upon liquefied natural gas exports as the key to future prosperity, and the govern-ment soon declared burning gas “clean” as long as it facilitates LNG production.

Bennett now acknowledges that gas-fired power plants are an option for the future. They are cheaper than hydro, small or large.

Bennett’s two tasks are to supply in-dustry with cheap power and get con-sumer rates under control. It looks as if the gas is being turned up, and Site C is moving to the back burner. 

Ways to remedy health care

Keep the bitumen flowingTime for BC Hydro to cover its overdue bills Apparently Big Oil has

instructed Prime Minister Harper to do whatever it takes to get that sticky bitu-men flowing out of Canada.

The federal Conserva-tives are currently making a ‘full court press’ against any opposition to tar-sand oil pipelines in B.C.

Hot air will inflate po-litical promises, financial figures will be fiddled, pipeline technology will be glorified and safety will be championed.

Critics will be demonized and bribes will be offered.

There are countless ex-amples of corporate greed being exacerbated by hu-man blundering.

One need only look across the Pacific Ocean to Japan’s ongoing nuclear nightmare. The expediency of short-term profits over-whelmed the morality of ethics.

Then there is Enbridge’s 2010 horrific Kalamazoo River oil spill. Their pipe-

line operators ignored the implications of the alarms sounded in Enbridge’s Ed-monton headquarters for 18 hours and pumped nearly one million gallons of di-luted bitumen into the envi-ronment.

All Canadians should heed George Bernard Shaw’s warning, “Beware of false knowledge; it is more dangerous than igno-rance.”

 Lloyd Atkins

Recently out of four weeks fighting a stubborn, systemic infection threaten-ing to shut down my ability to carry on as a functioning adult, one of those weeks was spent in a local hospi-tal.

I learned, through obser-vation and questioning, a few things that the health administration in this prov-ince might wish to take into consideration.

First of all, the system is broken and needs fixing, immediately. Our BC Min-istry of Health ought to be out front in leading society to a place of wellness and wellbeing. It isn’t. I learned that hospitals do not recycle anything, which is absolute-ly irresponsible and prepos-terous in this day and age.

The excuse seems to be that contamination might some-how occur. Balderdash!

Secondly, our nurses are not underpaid. They are, however, grossly over-worked. The average nurse in the execution of his/her duties in a 12-hour shift walks or runs approximate-ly 16 kilometres or 10 miles, if you prefer. No, I am not kidding. Research has been done with pedometers and a nurse can execute 16,000 steps or more in a shift and that, folks, equates, at a me-tre a step, to 16-k.

The care these nursing practitioners provide is su-perb and “seldom is heard a discouraging word.” However, when you ask for something or are due for a medication or treatment and

your attending nurse runs from your room saying, “I’ll be right back,” and you don’t see her/him for quite a spell, you can bet that she/he has been drawn in sev-eral directions of priority, all superseding yours. And each nurse is responsible for four or five patients plus assisting other nurses with their wards.

OK now, how about waste, and I don’t mean garbage. Senior manage-ment salaries are out of sight and, in my opinion, totally unwarranted.

Any program or initia-tive which does not directly impact patient care and improvement ought to be scrapped.

As odd as it may sound, one of Erica Cassel-

man’s greatest life accomplish-ments was caring for her dying husband, Jim. 

“I would never exchange the time we had,” Casselman says of her lifelong love, who died of cancer in 2007. “Caring for Jim made me a more compas-sionate, more human person. I learned so much through the experience.”

In 2005, Jim was diagnosed with pleural mesothelioma, an incurable form of cancer caused by asbestos inhalation. Jim was treated with aggressive chemotherapy and underwent surgery. During a seven-month remission, the couple and their two sons enjoyed a reasonably active life, cherishing the time they had.

In December 2006, the dis-ease took centre stage again and Jim tried an unproven treatment as part of a clinical trial in Edmonton. Sadly, this did not work and Jim died in April 2007.  

Casselman’s experience grew into a feeling that she had a personal responsibility to help others. 

“There are challenges in caregiving for someone you love, but I also felt compelled to share that there are gifts in the caregiving role. You can get so bogged down in the chal-lenges that you can’t see the rewards,” she says. 

And so, Casselman has be-come a CancerConnections volunteer, acting as a source of support for other caregivers whose loved ones have cancer. This is an extension of a Cana-dian Cancer Society program that pairs people who have cancer with others who are re-cently diagnosed and looking for some support. 

Casselman knows � rsthand that it is not just cancer patients who need support – caregiv-ers also need caring. So she joined the network of volun-teers across the country who offer the voice of experience to those in a similar situation to her own. The program operates by phone, so matches between volunteer and caregiver happen across the country. 

“What I love about this pro-gram is that it is so accessible, all you need is a phone, so you can contact people from any-where you might be and reach them even in the most remote of places,” says Casselman. 

The service is free and the volunteer is given a calling card to make the connection with the person looking for support. This also protects the volunteer’s con� dentiality be-cause they never give out their personal phone numbers and ensures the support role doesn’t become more than a volunteer can handle. The CancerCon-nections program also sets lim-its on the relationship. 

Casselman, for example, has had six matches from across the country and all have involved someone caring for a terminal cancer patient. Once the person has died, Casselman will do a follow-up call with the care-giver, but then the support can be facilitated by the Canadian Cancer Society’s of� ce to be-reavement support services in that person’s community. 

There is also constant sup-port for volunteers through the Canadian Cancer Society’s de-brie� ng teams. 

“They recognize this can be an emotional process for their volunteers and I can call them any time for suggestions, ideas about what to say and they al-ways follow up with me to see how I am doing.”

Casselman says that while

she is still grieving the loss of her husband, offering support to others provides satisfaction. 

“You get to know them so well, because you understand the journey of cancer. Often  I’ve heard, ‘Erica, you are the only one who gets it.’ And I � nd that so important. It helps me put aside whatever I am doing. It is not about me, it is about them, in that moment in time in that dark place,” she says. 

“My thought is, if you want hope in life, give hope to oth-ers.”

Often simply listening is what can be most helpful.

As well, volunteers can bring up topics or offer some coping strat-egies

or practical tips that the care-giver can choose to use as they see � t. She suggests caregivers consider things like wills and medical care directives, look at recording moments with their loved one through pho-tos, audio tapes, and speaking to friends and family from their heart about how to help. 

“I’ve become very comfort-able with talking about the un-comfortable,” she says. 

If you or someone close to you has cancer, or if you are a cancer survivor or caregiver looking for a meaningful vol-unteer opportunity, The Ca-nadian Cancer Society invites you to contact their free and con� dential support programs at cancer.ca or by calling 1-888-

939-3333.

1913 A notice to Observer advertisers informed them of a rise in rates. The notice related that the next issue, the Observer would be starting on its seventh year. of publication. It was � rst issued as a � ve-column, four-page paper, and not until it had been running two years did its subscription list reach 400. In 1913 it was a six-column, eight-page paper. Expenses had increased but advertising rates had not changed.

The public will have a chance to weigh in Sept. 23 on a coffee roasting business and restaurant proposed for Canoe.

A public hearing will be held that night at 7 in the North Canoe Hall regarding a rezoning to accommodate the Leaping Frog Coffee Compa-ny Ltd. at 4940 Canoe Beach Dr. NE – the former Doc’s Pub location.

The zoning amendment would change the zoning from C1, local commercial, to C16, comprehensive develop-

ment zone.A report from the city’s

planning department notes that staff reviewed other cof-fee roasting operations in the province.

“It is apparent that the na-ture of this land use (e.g.: smoke and odours) is such that creation measures are necessary to mitigate possible impacts to the surrounding properties.”

The measures listed includ-ed restrictions on operating hours, a maximum number of coffee beans per week, as well as an afterburner.

Karla Ferster, the applicant, told council Sept. 9 that she

moved here two years ago from Crescent Beach, and Ca-noe reminded her of Crescent Beach 20 years ago. She said she’s been operating her coffee company for eight years out of Vancouver, and will maintain the coffee roasting there.

Her plan is to create a commu-nity-focused eat-ery in Canoe, with coffee roasting year round.

She said she has a deep ap-preciation for the history of

Canoe, and would like to have a community wall in the busi-ness, celebrating it.

She said she would address any concerns about the coffee roasting quickly, because she lives in the community. Fer-ster noted that an afterburner elimi-nates 95 per cent of emissions into the air.

Mayor Nancy Cooper expressed

her support for the plan. “I think we’re all quite ex-

cited about your proposal.”

Enrolment looks to be a little better than last spring’s projections in the North Okana-gan Shuswap School District but still down approximately 200 stu-dents from last school

year.“It looks like we’re

up a little bit from pro-jections with elemen-tary up around 50 stu-dents and secondary up 17,” said Superinten-dant Glenn Borthistle at

the first regular meeting for the North Okanagan Shuswap Board of Edu-cation Tuesday.

He noted these num-bers are still very pre-liminary and the district will have a better idea

on the ministry’s enrol-ment “snapshot” day on Sept. 30.

“But, it looks like we’re sitting at about 5,800 and last year we were right around 6,000 students.”

MANAGING YOUR MONEYI’m getting an inheritanceHave you ever met an ‘average person’? Neither have I. But, for the sake of argument, let’s say you’re the ‘average Canadian’ and you’re getting an inheritance. If so, that inheritance is not likely to be large, to help you make the most of that inheritance, here are some suggestions you may � nd helpful:

• Understand what you’re getting. Is your inheritance in cash or investments that are liquid? Maybe you’ll be receiving tangible assets such as land, buildings or art that may take time to sell or that you will want to retain. Has the inheritance been bequeathed directly to you or will it be held in a trust that you do not control?

• STOP and take stock. Draw up a budget of your immediate income needs and your future income and capital needs based on your goals and dreams. Ensure proper asset allocation – meaning that money you need in the near future should not be placed in an investment that locks it in for a long time or that would be subject to redemption fees should you need the funds before the ‘locked-in’ period expires.

• Repay non-deductible debt. Use some or all of your inheritance to repay debt on which the loan interest is not tax deductible. Start with debt that carries the highest loan interest rate.

• Top it up. If you have investments held within RRSPs or TFSAs with unused carry-forward room, � ll it up.

• Send your inheritance to school. Contribute to investments held within

RESPs to pay for your children’s expensive (and necessary) post-secondary education.

• Invest in your retirement/estate. Look carefully at such tax-advantage wealth accumulation vehicles such as Corporate Class Mutual Funds (that allow you to switch between different investments without triggering capital gains at the time of the switch) and Permanent Life Insurance (if you need it) which could provide tax-free funds at a critical time or a source of investment income to replace an income that is no longer there.

• Know your relationship rules. In many provinces, gifts and inheritances are exempt in the case of separation or divorce. But – if you invest your inheritance in joint names with your partner or in a family home or cottage, or use the funds to pay down debt on jointly held property and then separate, the assets may become fully sharable. You may want to keep property and other investments separate from other family investments/assets.

What you do with your inheritance is up to you, but to be sure your decisions � t your unique situation, talk to your legal and professional advisor � rst.

Since 2008, the month of August has been dedicated to raising awareness and funds in every one of our 223 locations. Thanks to the commitment of our employees and the generosity of our customers, over 6 million has been raised over the last six years for leading-edge neuromuscular research and Safeway Mobility Grants. In fact, 207 families have received Safeway Mobility Grants, ensuring more of our neighbours receive essential equipment and assistive devices. This special partnership with Muscular Dystrophy Canada allows us to extend our commitment to supporting families living with disabilities beyond the four walls of our stores and into over 80 towns and cities we serve across Western Canada. Together, we are making muscles move!

A move to restrict reli-gious-related clothing in Quebec is raising concerns here at home.

The Quebec government

is proposing a ban on public servants, including teachers, doctors and nurses, from wearing large crucifixes, tur-bans and hijabs.

“I am somewhat offended that the government would state what their (public’s)

values are,” said Colin Mayes, Okanagan-Shuswap MP. “As a person of faith, no one should be concerned about anyone expressing their faith in a public setting no matter the faith.”

The Quebec government

has stated the goal of its charter of values is to clarify the religious neutrality of the state. However, the proposed legislation has come under attack as being discriminato-ry. Officials with the federal government in Ottawa have

indicated they will challenge the legislation legally if it is considered to go against the Canadian constitution.

Mayes wouldn’t say if he would support his govern-ment’s challenge because the issue has not been dis-

cussed by the Conservative caucus. Instead, he believes any challenge of the legisla-tion should come from Que-becers themselves.

“They can do that through the ballot box or the courts,” he said.

Community spirit: Salmon Arm resi-dents, who came out in full force Sunday to support the 33rd annual Terry Fox Run held at Blackburn Park, make their way along the route on foot, on bikes, on crutches, in wheelchairs and accompanied by dogs. Initial counts showed that the 237 people who registered for the event, along with 31 volunteers, raised an estimated $6,100 for the Terry Fox Foundation.

For kids Mayor Nancy Cooper grimac-es as she is ar-rested by Const. Yvonne Dib-blee in front of Shuswap Rotary members Friday at the Prestige Harbourfront Resort for trying to bribe a police officer – all in good fun to sup-port the Cops for Kids fundraising ride that stopped in Salmon Arm.

May peace prevail on Earth.This is the message the youth of St. Joseph’s

Roman Catholic Church are sharing in the com-munity by planting peace poles.

Now found in most countries of the world, peace poles were the brainchild of Masahisa Goi in 1955 in Japan.

The first peace poles outside Japan were con-structed in 1983. Since then, more than 100,000 have been placed around the world in more than 180 countries.

A monument to peace, each pole displays the prayer, “May peace prevail on Earth,” in the lan-guage of the country where it has been placed, and usually in three to five additional translations.

In Salmon Arm, the message on the poles hand-crafted by Micah Gunn will appear in four lan-guages – English, French, Secwepemc and Japa-nese.

Teresa McKerral, a member of the church, says the youth of the church decided they wanted to be part of the international program.

In order to raise the funds they needed to have the poles built, they developed a PowerPoint pre-sentation for parishioners

“We raised so much money, $385, we were able to have two peace poles made,” McKerral said, noting Saturday, Sept. 21 is International Day of Peace and a perfect time to set the poles in place.

Representatives from First Nations, French, Japanese and English cultures are invited to the unveilings, one at Peace Park on the Salmon Arm waterfront in the morning and a second at St. Jo-seph’s Church.

The international Peace Pole Project today is furthered by the World Peace Prayer Society.

Peace Poles are made of many materials in varying sizes, from tall granite poles to small wooden ones. The text might be carved or etched or painted. In some cases it merely is a plastic sign attached with screws.

Peace Poles have been placed in such notable locations as the North Magnetic Pole, the Hiroshi-ma Peace Memorial and the Egyptian pyramids in Giza.

The Salmon Arm peace poles will be placed Saturday, Sept. 21 at 11 a.m. at Peace Park and 4:30 p.m. at St. Joseph’s Church.

High hopes have turned to frustration and disappointment for B.C. “Lymies.”

B.C. residents who suffer from Lyme dis-ease were thrilled when the province announced funding for a complex chronic disease clinic in 2010.

But the Canadian Lyme Disease Foun-dation (CanLyme) has withdrawn their support for the clinic that is op-erated by the BC Cen-tre for Disease Control (BCCDC) – something clinic officials dispute.

CanLyme president Jim Wilson says foun-dation members were shocked to discover that rather than following recommendations made in a 2009 provincially commissioned report on the disease, treat-ment at the clinic would be restricted to the same “inadequate guideline” that prompted its es-tablishment in the first place.

The report prepared by Brian T. Schmidt, retired senior vice-president of the pro-vincial health authority, posted an urgent call for improved diagnos-tic methods for chronic Lyme. In the report nev-er released to the public, Schmidt also calls for B.C. to continue efforts to improve diagnosis and treatment of acute and chronic Lyme and for doctors to develop a realistic and flexible course of treatment for individual patients.

But Wilson questions the province’s move to

give the BCCDC fund-ing and control of the clinic when, he says, the doctor in charge is trying to reduce the use of antibiotics, given the only known cure for Lyme disease is through an intensive course of antibiotics.

As well, Wil-son charges that the BCCDC tests for only one strain of one species.

“Lyme Bor-reliosis is an in-fection caused by bacteria acquired from the bite of various species of ticks,” he says. “In B.C., there are several strains and species of the genus Borrelia, however, only the Bor-relia Burgdorferi, strain 831, is used as the foun-dation of the current government Lyme dis-ease test for humans.”

Wilson says the clinic offers exercise pacing, mindful meditation and cognitive behavioural therapy, none of which has been shown to be effective in treating chronic Lyme disease.

“I absolutely agree with CanLyme’s deci-sion to withdraw their endorsement. I do not need a clinic to offer me tips on how to meditate or how to implement cognitive behavioural therapy – I can do this on my own,” says local resident Sheri Mahood. “What us Lyme patients

need is the right to long-term antibiotics… che-motherapy is dangerous too, as is most medical treatment, so why not let us decide if we want to take the risk?”

Mahood says she rarely took any drug be-fore contracting Lyme disease but would rather deal with the side ef-fects of antibiotics than be completely incapaci-

tated by Lyme disease.Dr. Bonnie Henry,

medical director of communicable disease control and acting pro-vincial health officer, says officials are very disappointed by Can-Lyme’s pull-out.

“The clinic has spent a lot of time engag-ing with stakeholders to make sure protocols meet the needs of these people suffering from debilitating illness,” she says.

“We’re seeing a mix of patients and I think it’s a bit shortsighted for them to focus only on antibiotics.”

Henry says one of the features of the clinic is being open to the fact there may be underly-ing issues such as why some people’s immune systems are more sen-sitive, or whether there is some new infection

that has yet to be found.

“Unfortunately, there is misinfor-mation,” she says. “We’ve done a lot of work in B.C. about what species actually cause Bor-reliosis and testing is broad and cov-ers all the ones that can cause Lyme.”

She notes the centre can test people who might come in contact with other spe-cies in Europe or wher-ever.

While she believes the risk for getting Bor-reliosis-infected ticks in B.C. is a lot lower than on the East Coast, Hen-ry “absolutely believes” Lyme disease is a very real risk here. But, she points out, Lyme is pre-

ventable and the key is to prevent the bites or at least get them in the early stages.

“Treatment is really important, get a refer-ral (to the clinic) from your doctor,” she says. “Catch it early and most people do extremely

well. Late manifesta-tions – that’s where there is a lot of prob-lems.”

Henry refutes Wil-son’s claim, noting re-search is ongoing and a lot of time is spent look-ing at what evidence there is around a variety

of different treatments – and it’s individualized according to each pa-tient. Henry denies an-tibiotics are never used but cautions there can be serious side effects. The number-one trigger for C-difficile is antibi-otic use, she says.

Support withdrawn for Lyme clinicFrustration: ‘Lymies’ faced with yet another disappointment in treatment of their disease.

In agreement: Rory and Sheri Mahood would like access to long-term antibiotics, not a clinic that offers meditation.

The Louisiana Hayride was a live radio show, broadcast over KWKH Radio in

Shreveport Louisiana and ran successfully from 1948 to 1960. It was instrumental in

establishing the careers of such artists as Elvis Presley, Johnny Cash, Patsy Cline,

Marty Robbins, Jim Reeves, Roy Orbision and many more artists. Our rendition in story

and song takes you back to those days and that live radio show. Find out why Roy

Orbison work dark glasses and where and when the phrase “Elvis has left the

building” was first spoken. Great stories, great songs.

Flying into football season

’Backs blast rival Vipers at home

Getting a win in the home-opener of the season in front of an enthusiastic crowd is always sweet, but to do it over the rival team from down the road makes it even better.

The Salmon Arm SilverBacks scored a pair of victories over the Vernon Vipers by scores of 6-1 on Friday at Shaw Centre and 6-5 in double overtime Saturday in Vernon.

Alex Gillies scored the winner both nights and had five goals on the weekend to earn the BCHL player of the week honours. Gillies, a Vernon native, notched a hat trick including the overtime winner Saturday on a breakaway, moments after ’Backs goalie Angus Redmond denied Demico Hannoun on a penalty shot. Assistant coach Brandon West couldn’t have scripted it much better.

“We wanted to see a better start from our guys on Saturday but, knowing it was their home-opener, we knew it was going to be tough,” said West. “I think both nights were great games. Vernon plays a fast, physical game like us… (They) competed hard both nights.”

Friday at Shaw Centre, West could sense the players were full of anticipation for their first regular-season home game and he was pleased to see them come through with a convincing win for the fans.

“Our guys were excited to get the season going and whether it was nerves or jitters, the guys were looking forward to this game,” said West.

The ’Backs overcame the anxiousness and captain Blake Box revved up the crowd with a spirited tilt against Vipers captain Ryan Renz.

Elevation: Above, onlookers watch Salmon Arm Pee Wee Colts player Luke Matheson dive across the goal line during the Colts’ 28 to 6 loss to the Kelowna Lions Sunday at Little Mountain during Football Day, Sept. 15. The game was a learning experience for the Colts, as it was their first official game of the season. To right, it took four Vernon Panthers tacklers to bring down Salmon Arm Golds running back Sage King during the Golds’ 13-0 exhibition junior varsity victory Wednesday at Little Mountain.

“That really sparked our building,” said West. “We could hear the noise behind us... It gave us an extra lift.”

Salmon Arm scored a goal in the first, two in the second and three in the third to seal the deal. First star Colton Thibault opened the scoring and later added the insurance goal. Gillies was the story of the weekend though, and right now he’s playing the part of the trigger man on a line with Landon Smith and Evan Anderson. Gillies’

seven goals leads the BCHL.

Another positive was the team’s penalty-

killing performance which held the Snakes 0-11 on the weekend. Up and down the

lineup, the SilverBacks’ are buying into the concept and West says it’s tough to tell what

the top group of penalty killers is.

“Right now, the penalty kill is doing a fantastic job and it’s not just one guy,” said West. “Speaking with our staff before the season, we wanted to have a good penalty kill… everyone has done such a good job competing.”

That will have to continue this weekend going into a home-and-home set against the West Kelowna Warriors, who are coming off two wins over Merritt. Salmon Arm hosts the Warriors Saturday at 7 p.m.

Lazar signs with senatorsSalmon Arm Minor Hockey product Curtis Lazar has signed on with the Ottawa Senators. The NHL franchise announced Tuesday that they had signed Lazar, a first-round draft pick, to a three year, entry-level deal.“We’re trying to get our best players tied up and he is certainly one of the guys of the future in this organization so we’re very, very happy to get him signed at this point,” states Senators general manager Bryan Murray on the team’s website. Lazar tweeted after the announcement that he was proud to sign with the Senators, and that he couldn’t have done it without his family, friends, coaches and teammates.

Living in a city that’s said to be built on seven hills, it’s understandable that Salmon Arm’s Jill Flockhart might have some ups and downs.

Her mixed experi-ence, however, is not due to changes in alti-tude.

Flockhart is in Kam-pala, Uganda, where she is on a year-long internship with Soccer Without Borders, a non-governmental organi-zation that works with impoverished youth.

Her mom, Heather Flockhart, says Jill is experiencing highs and lows.

“Like I knew would happen, she’s getting very attached to these little kids,” she explains, noting that the down-side of getting close to them is seeing their sit-uations as refugees. Be-cause of numbers, Jill and her fellow interns sometimes have had to turn away children because their teaching room is too small.

Uganda is listed as having the highest num-ber of refugees in Af-rica. They have come

from eastern parts of the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC), as well as South Su-dan, Somalia, Burundi, Rwanda, Ethiopia and Eritrea.

Heather said a couple of 12- or 13-year-old boys from the Sudan

told Jill they had been child soldiers.

She said Jill has been enjoying the teaching, both the traditional sub-jects as well as soccer.

To help out Jill, the Shuswap Youth Soccer Association presented Heather with a $500

cheque. Reg Walters, presi-

dent of the association, said the board is happy to support Flockhart.

“Jill’s always been a great ambassador for soccer and she raises the profile of our asso-ciation within the soc-cer community when she can play soccer at the collegiate level. Basically we’re giving something back to her.”

He said another rea-son is that so often Ca-nadian soccer benefits from people from other countries coming to teach.

“The executive felt it’s important we sup-port our people when we can make a contri-bution the other way.”

On her blog, Jill sum-marizes her first weeks in Uganda:

“Thank you all for following up with what I am doing here in Uganda. There have been many up and downs but overall it has been amazing. Every day I learn something new and am becoming more familiar with my new home. The time is going by very quickly and I am trying my best to embrace every day

and make the most of it. I went to church again today and the message that was preached was a great one. Make sure that the possessions and

‘things’ in our lives do not take importance over that of God. I re-ally felt like this was di-rected towards myself. Being here in Africa has

made me think more about all that I have and how little importance it really serves. Just some-thing to think about. Love from Africa, Jill.”

Flockhart receives support from homeBy Martha WickettOBSERVER STAFF

Giving back: Reg Walters, president of the Shuswap Youth Soccer Association, presents Heather Flockhart, Jill Flock-hart’s mom, with a $500 cheque to help support Jill’s volunteer work in Uganda.

It’s season 52 in the B.C. Hockey League with 16 teams hoping to join the host Vernon Vipers in the Royal Bank Cup next May. Black Press sports re-porters have assessed the rosters and decided on the following fin-ishes: (Part Two of two)

4. WEST KELOW-NA WARRIORS

Key Returnees: F Seb Lloyd (24-42-66), F Ambrose Firkus (11-9-20), F David Pope (17-22-39, drafted by Detroit), F Matt Anholt (9-22-31), D Adam Plant (5-23-28).

Rookie Sensations: F Liam Blackburn comes from Prince George where last sea-son he was the second-leading BCMML scor-er (35-50-85) with the Cariboo Cougars. West Kelowna’s F Brett Mennear garnered 24-31-55 in 38 games with the major midget Okanagan Rockets. Boston native Carl Hesler is a 19-year-old rookie out of prep school south of the border and is already

committed to Dart-mouth University Big Green for the 2014-15 season. 

Strengths: With the likes of Lloyd, Firkus and Pope all returning up front, the Warriors will have a skilled of-fensive attack and will rely on youth and new-comers to  round out the forward lines. On defence, Plant returns after last season play-ing on the top pair-ing while 20-year-old Jaden Schmeisser, ac-quired in an off-sea-son trade, will bring a veteran presence after playing the last two seasons in Victoria. 

Coach’s quote (Ry-lan Ferster, who signed a five-year extension in the off season): “I’m optimistic about the season. We have more new faces than we had last year so it will take some time to get a read on the team. It’s go-ing to be a tough divi-sion. There are going to be two really good teams that don’t make the  playoffs. Our goal is to make the playoffs and go from there.”

5. MERRITT CENTENNIALS

Key Returnees: F Sebastien Paré (17-27-44), F Scott Pat-terson (11-14-25), F Jeff Wight (13-10-23), D Tyler Martin (6-17-23), D Dane Birks (5-15-20), F James  Neil (7-13-20).

Rookie Sensations: Rhett Willcox  (96), Gavin Gould (96) and Adam Tracey (95).

On the blueline, the Centennials  have added a pair of solid Americans in Wayland Williams (94) from California and Chica-go’s Jake Clifford (94). A pleasant surprise in net has been Devin Kero.

Strengths: The Cents, who finished third last year in the Interior Conference of the BCHL, just five points behind first-place Penticton, have a solid nucleus of return-ing veterans (including 2013 NHL draft pick Birks on defence) as well some exciting, talented new recruits. Coach’s Quote (Luke Pierce): “ Expectations

here are to remain in the  upper echelon of our conference. We know how daunting that task is. With a lot of new faces playing key roles on our team,

it will be up to myself and Joe Martin  to ex-pedite the process of teaching Merritt Cen-tennials hockey.”

6. TRAIL SMOKE EATERS

Key Returnees: F Adam Wheeldon (8-10-18), D Braden Pears (6-29-35) , F Scott Da-vidson (11-23-34), F Jesse Knowler (9-14-23), F Bryce Knapp (injured last  season), and G Adam Todd (12-6-0, 3.63 GAA, .891 SAV). 

Rookie Sensations: Riley Brandt, 16, combines sheer grit and determination, with touch and finesse around the net, while Dustin Nikkel (13-7-1, 2.71 GAA, .922 SAV) gives the Smokies a legitimate goaltending tandem that can single-handedly win games.

Strengths: The Smoke Eaters should have a strong and ver-satile defensive core with returning veterans Pears, Braedon Jones and Valik Chichkin. Throw in  newly ac-quired 20-year-old Curtis Toneff and Alberta pickup Joel Webb, 18, Nick Patey, 18, and Vernon’s Na-than Browne, 19, and the Smokies will be big and stingy in their own end. Todd came in and performed brilliantly last season, winning 12 of 18 games he ap-peared in. 

Coach’s quote (Bill Birks): “Our goalten-ding is the best we’ve ever had here, with two legit guys that can play

goal. Our back end played real well (in exhibition games). Our top nine, I think we’re pretty solid. We’re not going to score seven or eight goals a game but with our goaltending and our back end, we got a pretty good core group of kids… I’m excited to get going.”

Predictions of a fifth-place finish for Centennials

Europe’s Beauty Secret Fewer lines and wrinkles, thicker hair,

stronger nails and denser bones.

Clinically Proven!

Clinically

Collagen is the key. During youth, you have a rich abundance of collagen which prevents wrinkles from forming, gives skin elasticity, helps create thick, beautiful hair, strong nails and denser, more flexible bones. But over the years, collagen diminishes.

Starting at age 21, collagen diminishes by 1% per year. By age 30, signs of reduced collagen on skin, hair and nails become visible, not to mention the increased risk of fracture for bones.

Now, genuine collagen regeneration is possible with clinically proven BioSil™. BioSil, helps your body to generate its own collagen to provide support for denser and more flexible bones as well as beautiful skin, hair and nails.

Regenerate Collagen with BioSil, the only clinically proven product with ch-OSA – the most absorbable form of silicon.

Fuller, thicker hair… One supplement I have discovered recently and fell in love with is Biosil. I can safely say that this stuff made a huge difference in my hair…Whatever grew was fuller, thicker…I noticed a dramatic improvement in not only the quality of the new hair growth but the rate at which it was growing… Beauty Blogger Ellie S.

Oh, oh, Fweddy the Fwog is in trouble – a veritable Fwench � ap.

What began as a matter of giggling and downright laughter over a playful exchange of letters in a school library has become a charming story about bullying.

Fweddy the Wed Fwog Pwince is School District #83 teacher-on-call Wilf Pauls’ third delightful book.

It is one born of a day at school when the then-teacher librarian and his students took on the challenge of � nding all the words they could create by substituting the letter R for W.

“It was a self-in� icted contest,” he laughs. “Out of that emerged this idea of making a story where someone can’t say the letter R, and what’s the result of that?”

From that basic idea, the comical Pauls thought about how children who cannot speak properly are often the butt of jokes and bullying. Then the word fwog emerged and in choosing Fweddy, Pauls says he is making fun of himself by using the short form of his birth name, Wilfred.

“Then I thought I’d throw a prince in there, and out of that comes the notion of one of Aesop’s Fables,” says Pauls, explain-ing the meandering way in which the story came together.

Fweddy the Fwog is teased mercilessly by the other frogs because he is small, red and unable to say R. Discouraged by their unkindness, Fweddy moves to a safe place at the far end of the pond, where he makes friends and earns respect.

“In bullying, the � rst thing is walk away, the second one is ignore,” says Pauls, of Fweddy’s choice to move away from his tormenters. “Most of all, he was happy with who he had become.”

In the fable, The Frogs Desiring a King, the frogs ask their god for a king to rule over them and, after teasing them by throwing a

log into the pond, acquiesces to the frogs’ demands by giv-ing them a stork.

Unfortunately for the frogs, the king stork eats them all.

In Fweddy the Wed Fwog Pwince, a stork who can-not say S becomes king and, well, he too savours a frog or two, turning the once lively pond into a place of fear.

But unlike the Aesop’s story, things change dramati-cally when the king, or perhaps a queen, meets Fweddy.

Pauls began working with School District #83 as a teacher-librarian in 1992. He has encouraged thousands of children to devel-op a love of learning through stories, magic, science experiments, music, trivia and real-

life experiences.Fweddy the Wed

Fwog Pwince is a de-parture from Pauls’ � rst two stories in the Baby Brawn Series – Baby Brawn Basketball Star and Baby Brawn Hockey

Superstar, which was launched two years ago.

The Fwog Pwince is delightfully illus-trated by Myron Born, who has 20 years of experience drawing for television and � lm – Disney and Warner Bros. included. Illustrating Fweddy the Wed Fwog Prince

ful� lls one of his dreams and is his entry into the world of children’s books in print.

Barbara Coloroso, who runs the “Kids are worth it” program read Pauls’ story, contributed her ideas and is now putting the book on her recommended booklist for an anti-bullying campaign.

Fweddy the Wed Fwog Pwince will make his of� cial Salmon Arm debut from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m. Friday, Sept. 20 at Bastion El-ementary.

Celebrate a ‘ribbiting’ story of bul-lies, friendship, humour, forgiveness and a warm, surprise ending. Pauls will give a short talk on his new book at 7 p.m.

Eateries host music crawl

Al Boucher likes music and wants more of it downtown.

So, he and Shuswap Pie Company owner Mary Jo Beirnes are going about the business of bring-ing it in themselves.

“We feel it’s easier for us to operate in tandem and generate more of a buzz,” says Boucher, not-ing an initial music crawl will take place Friday, Sept. 27. “The music scene is great here, but it’s not as vibrant as it could be with the wonderful talented musicians we have.”

Boucher says the Pie Company stepped out � rst, hosting pre-Jazz Club music every Thurs-day evening.

“They spearheaded that so we’re trying to build on it,” he says. “There are so many good groups and we want to give them more opportu-nities to showcase their talents.”

The crawl will begin at the Pie Company on Alexander Avenue at 5:30 p.m. when the popular licensed eatery will play host to Shushmanoush – a gypsy jazz group comprised of Willy Gaw, Bill Lockie, Richard Owens and Neil Fraser.

“We are really excited to team up with another great local business,” said Beirnes. “I am really excited about anything fun happening downtown,

and especially anything that supports local, live music.”

The crawl, which will move on at 7 p.m. has no cover and is in addition to the Pie Company’s regular Thursday night music events that feature a variety of artists from 5:30 to 7 p.m.

Then it’s along Hudson Avenue to the Blue Ca-noe, where the idea for Boucher’s latest venture grew out of his successful participation in this summer’s Routes and Blues program, in which Jake Verburg, Steph Clifford and Sam Masterton packed the café playing as the Sons of Bitumen.

“We started talking about another show but they’re moving to Victoria in October, so we’re billing this as their last concert here,” says Boucher. “And Sasha Lewis moved back to Salmon Arm and has been studying hard, so this is her debut.”

Boucher says he is excited about the event and will acquire a special liquor licence for the eve-ning. He will also feature two special fall items available only that night, along with the regular menu.

Cost for the evening is a $10 cover charge plus cost of dinner which, as always, will feature locally produced organic food. Doors open at 7 p.m. and the music begins at 7:30.

Boucher is hopeful a similar crawl will take place every couple of months.

Atlantic Crossing is one of Canada’s elite tribute packages featur-ing world-class tributes to the Beatles, Elton John and Rod Stewart.

It’s the best of Brit-ish music with three big tributes in one big show at the Salmar Classic Theatre on Fri-day, Sept. 27. 

This multi-talented cast consists of  Marc Lafrance, Brent Stew-art and Mick Dalla Vee who, when not with Atlantic Crossing are touring the world as the backing band with classic rock legends Bachman & Turner. 

The fourth band member is Dave Re-imer of Barney Bentall fame. 

Collectively their music careers span three decades. 

Some of their per-formance and studio

credits include Alice Cooper, Bon Jovi, Carly Simon, Cher, Glass Tiger, Loverboy, Trooper and a long list of others. 

From Alan Frew, who wrote a Rod Stew-art hit, to Patricia Con-roy and a who’s who in the music world, Atlantic Crossing has been described as ‘amazing.’

“I have never heard anyone sound that close to Rod Stewart,” says Loverboy’s Mike Reno. “The crowd loved this show.”

From Atlantic Cross-ing’s spot-on versions of early Beatles clas-sic’s to the energetic and flamboyant Sir Elton, to the most au-thentic Rod Stewart tribute you’ll hear any-where, Atlantic Cross-ing celebrates the best of British music.

The concert takes place at 7:30 at the Salmar Classic The-atre.

Tickets at $30 are valuable at Acorn Mu-sic or at www.tick-etweb.ca.

Embracing change focus of conferenceThe Canadian Soci-

ety of Questers will re-turn to Salmon Arm for their annual fall confer-ence Friday and Satur-day, Sept. 27 and 28 at the Prestige Harbour-front Resort.

Called “Embracing Change,” the lineup features international and well-respected pre-senters of such topics as dowsing, how to im-prove eyesight, tapping into the future and how to activate the powers of the heart.

The Four Agree-

ments: A Practical Guide to Personal Free-dom by don Miguel Ruiz will be the basis of a keynote speech delivered by Gary van Warmerdam.

“The truth revealed in the simple philosophies that were based on an-cient Toltec teachings, impacted and changed my life profoundly and I still live according to that wisdom,” says Canadian Society of Questers president and conference co-ordinator Carol Heywood. “Very

few other things have influenced my life in such a powerful way.”

Heywood says the fact millions of copies of the book have been sold indicates to her that many others have been impacted in a positive way by the simple prin-cipals.

Teachings that go beyond the four agree-ments that have been developed from over 20 years of study and shamanistic exploring with don Miguel Ruiz will be presented by

van Warmerdam at a keynote address Friday, Sept. 27 at 7 p.m., and in an day-long workshop on Saturday that begins at 9 a.m. Warmerdam’s path has led him to find practical ways to apply the four agreements towards the pursuit of happiness, and this will be the subject of an all-day workshop on Sun-day, Sept. 29.

In March 2010, a small group of local performers presented the Louisiana Hayride on the stage at Shus-wap Theatre for the first time.

Anxiety was high over whether they’d sell enough tickets for two booked shows.

“Well, both nights sold out and a third night was added, which also sold out,” says writ-er and producer Lori Risling. “Thanks to the tremendous support of Salmon Arm and area, the Louisiana Hayride show continues to sell tickets.”

There are now four versions show, with the same, but characters and songs that have changed from show to show.

The “Greatest Mo-ments” show is just what the name implies, says Risling.

“We’ve taken the very best moments from all shows and combined

them into one,” she says. “This is the very first time the tribute art-ists in this production have all performed in the same show.”

The audience will see Hank Williams, Willie Nelson, Loretta Lynn and Patsy Cline, along with Roy Orbison and Elvis Presley.

Back by popular de-mand are the “Cow-boys,” who have been practising their fireside songs.

In between the tribute artists, the show is filled with the music of artists such as Jerry Lee Lew-is, Johnny Cash, Marty Robbins and Ray Price.

Following his recent international win in Memphis, Tenn., Adam Fitzpatrick is bringing Elvis back to the build-ing – both as the per-former of the 1950s and in the 1968 Comeback Special.

Ranked the No. 2 El-vis tribute artist in the world, Fitzpatrick is

committed to touring with the show as part of the Hayride family.

“As a special treat to those attending the Salmon Arm show, Pat-rick Ryley will reprise his role as Hank Wil-liams,” says Risling.

“A cast member since the beginning of the Louisiana Hayride, Pat-rick has been unable to

tour over the last year due to work commit-ments.

Also back on the ride are Andrea Ander-son, a crowd favorite, who will again appear as Patsy Cline and Lo-retta Lynn, and Gil Risling on guitar, bass guitar, banjo and por-traying Willie Nelson and Roy Orbison. Wil-

liam Brookfield plays a phenomenal keyboard, acoustic guitar and also sings, and Mike Mel-nichuk plays stand-up bass, electric guitar and also sings.

Tickets for The Greatest Moments of the Louisiana Hayride, at $35, are available at Touch A Texas and Wearabouts.

Louisiana Hayride rolls on

Happy hayriders: Gil Risling, Adam Fitzpatrick, Andrea Ander-son, Patrick Ryley, William Brookfield and Mike Melnichuk will be back at the SASCU Rec Centre at 7:30 p.m. Friday, Sept. 27.

Give thanks by filling bag with foodThe third annual BC

Thanksgiving Food Drive in the B.C. Inte-rior is underway.

Volunteers with the non-profit community organization are deliv-ering bags to individual homes with flyers ask-ing for donations to lo-cal food banks.

On Saturday, Sept. 21, volunteers will re-turn to pick up the dona-tions and deliver them to local food banks. Vol-

unteers are working as part of a provincewide initiative which in-cludes almost 50 towns and cities and close to 6,000 volunteers.

In the Interior, groups are working in Oliver, Penticton, Sum-merland, Peachland, Kelowna, Lake Coun-try, Vernon, Merritt, Enderby and Salmon Arm.

Last year in the val-ley, some 900 volun-

teers contributed more than 2,700 hours of service.

They delivered bags to more than 36,000 addresses and collected 77,833 pounds of food for local food banks.

These totals were more than double what volunteers gathered in their first year, and this year they hope to grow by at least 50 per cent more.

“We need your help

to raise awareness for  this great event,” says Gary Morris of the BC Thanksgiving Food Drive.

“We want to make members of our com-munities aware of this simple yet important opportunity to help those in need.”

Morris asks that resi-dents place their bags of food on the doorstep by 9:30 a.m. For more information about the

BC Thanksgiving Food Drive, see the web-site  http://bctfooddrive.org/.

Time OuTARIES (March 21-April 19): Feeling risky and frisky is one of your life’s survival tips. You are starting to realize that you need to turn your entire attention and dedication into how you treat your body. Enhance a skill or utilize this time to do something you have always wanted to excel at. TAURUS (April 20-May 20): A layer of self will come out during this time making you more open and demonstrative with your emotions. Whatever you feel, you will likely display it on a grand scale with a tendency to make a hole out of a mole. Be grateful for the dance of life in all its magnificence.GEMINI (May 21-June 20): The busy bee that you are will soon be looking for a comfortable retreat, a shelter where you can indulge in the honey collected thus far. Now, you are ready to get this sustenance that will also nourish you from deep within and give you a sense of belonging. CANCER (June 21-July 22): Maintaining your focus straight can be a challenge when your mind is wavering around in many places at once. This is a week that will bring you a flavour of what’s in store for you, so get ready to dance according to its rhythm. You’ll be glad you practiced.LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): You will catch up with the latest gossip from your old pals who are as eager to meet you as you are. Companionship and feeling needed will boost your confidence and make you more engaged into a variety of activities. This will lighten the stress you had to endure for a while.VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): You might have taken the needed time to replenish yourself or you might have endured life as it was given to you. Whatever it was, you are now portraying these energies outwardly. Revamp your look, adopt a new style. Most

importantly, don’t be afraid to show off!LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): You are starting to feel less vigorous and lacking in sufficient stamina to keep on advancing. The cosmos are suggesting that it’s time to put a pause and simply focus entirely on your collective soul. Leave behind whatever is draining you down.SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): An expansive, social cycle unveils itself to you. Mingle around and attend your friendly get-togethers. A light-hearted mood will transform you into a socialite who will realize the importance of knowing the right people at the right time for the right things.SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): You will soon have a greater need to accomplish something meaningful and that will have prosperous benefits for you in the long-term. You are more concerned than ever when it comes to your standing in society. Your knowledge could reap awesome benefits.CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): The hidden realms of life attract you now as you embark on a journey to the unknown. Learning or travelling faraway could bring you a rewarding feeling. Your earnings situation will determine what steps you need to take from now on. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): You are gradually moving into a more complex sphere of your life. This is a time when you will have to confront your fears and insecurities straight from its source as you have great potential for healing. You will be proud of your own courage and gutsy side.PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): A closure might be needed on your part in order to regain your inner peace. Release your inhibitions. Heal your wounded soul. Primal partnerships are increasing in importance to you. Life is not meant to be lived alone, but to share it with someone special.
