Bev Kauffeldt has experienced hell on earth and has chosen to return.

Confident in her faith in God and her work, Kauffeldt flew back to Monrovia, Liberia on Sunday – straight into the maelstrom of an overwhelming Ebola outbreak.

A worker with the Christian aid orga-nization Samaritan’s Purse, Kauffeldt, her husband Kendell and their children have called Liberia home for the past 10 years.

In late June, Kauffeldt first shared con-cerns about the disease that emerged in March in Guekadou, Guinea and how

Samaritan’s Purse was working with Mé-decins Sans Frontières (MSF) to care for those who were ill and help halt the prog-ress of the devastating illness.

But the disease began its unabated spread over the next few weeks.

In the first two weeks of July, Kauffeldt was working with MSF in a private hos-pital in Foya, Liberia, some 10 to 15 ki-lometres from where the outbreak had occurred.

Her role was to oversee water manage-ment – making sure the clinic had potable water, sanitation and hygiene.

Among her many tasks was removing the bodies of those who died.

All those jobs are done by people wear-

ing personal protective equipment (PPE), often with chlorine sprayers on their backs to sanitize areas that may have been contaminated by body fluids.

“It’s very claustrophobic and extremely hot; you have to get used to being wet inside your suit and trust it’s sweat, not a breach where something else is getting in,” says Kauffeldt, noting the process of dressing is a lengthy one with double, tri-ple and quadruple checks by each person and another team member, followed by a mirror check to make sure no part of the body is exposed.

“You have to trust your team, the equip-

While there has been no official link made be-tween an altercation involving two elderly Bastion Place dementia residents and the death of one of the men four days later, the BC Nurses Union is point-ing to the incident as an example of inadequate staffing and safety mechanisms in long-term care facilities.

John Young, 93, died Tuesday, Oct. 7. Four days earlier, in the early morning hours of Friday, Oct. 3, Young was involved in what Interior Health offi-cials are describing as an “unwitnessed altercation” between two dementia patients living at Bastion Place.

It appears that Young had wandered into the room of another resident who had a history of ag-gressive behaviour. Tracy Quewezance, regional chair of the B.C. Nurses Union for the Thompson/North Okanagan, said the man had previously as-saulted a Bastion Place nurse this summer.

Both Young and the other man were taken to Shuswap Lake General Hospital, where they were assessed and then both later returned to Bastion Place.

The B.C. Coroners Service is investigating the situation and an autopsy is being conducted to de-termine the cause of death. Those results are ex-pected in the next few days.

“We were informed of this death shortly after it occurred and because the circumstances were un-usual for a long-term care home, we have opened an investigation,” said Barb McLintock, with the BC Coroners Service Friday.

Karen Bloemink, executive director of residen-tial services for Interior Health, confirmed the Oct. 3 incident to the Observer, saying staff at Bastion Place, “responded quickly and appropriately to provide care to both men involved.”

“At this point there is no determination as to whether this alterca-tion is connected to his death. There is an ongo-ing investigation by the regional coroner and we are waiting for that outcome.”

Salmon Arm RCMP were also called to in-vestigate the situation at the request of the coro-ner’s service.

“Our investigation didn’t find any evi-dence of criminality,” said Staff Sgt. Kevin Keane of the Salmon Arm RCMP.

Quewezance says the incident is an example of an increasing prob-lem of inadequate care.

“This is what we are seeing becoming more common every day in long-term care facili-ties. There’s not enough staff for the number of residents; the complex-ity of care for these residents is increasing, so they have higher needs; and there are not enough secure beds and units.”

Both men were resi-dents of a 21-bed unit, which includes 10 se-cure beds for dementia cases that require a level of care and monitoring that is above that of the majority of residents at the 80-bed facility. Both men, however, were not housed in the 10-bed secure section, but in-stead were housed in other beds in that unit.

Quewezance says the resident with a history

of aggression is one of three people at Bastion Place who have been identified as inappropri-ately placed, meaning they should be housed in a more secure unit.

“This happens in all facilities across the province – there’s one or more residents who are identified as inap-propriately placed and needing a higher level of care, but there are not enough funded secure beds at that level. This man should have been in the secure unit, but there were not enough beds and nowhere else for him to go. It’s very sad, really.”

The BC Nurses Union is also advocat-ing for higher base-line staffing levels at the facility. Currently, the base level of staff-ing for the 21-bed unit during the night shift is one licensed practical nurse and one care aide. There is one registered nurse on duty at night for the entire facility.

Bloemink points out

that on the night of the incident between these two men, Bastion Place had already brought in one additional staff member for that unit.

“We were already above the baseline model for that night… We have the ability to create safety by chang-ing some of our meth-ods of operations and by bringing on staff, one-on-one staff if needed.”

In addition to staff-ing, increased security measures also need to be put in place which would prevent resi-dents from wandering into other rooms, says Quewezance.

“It is not their (the patient’s) fault, with de-mentia you have people who can be aggressive, violent and confused, and when they have someone wander into their space, it can be a recipe for disaster. What we need are more appropriate, secure fa-cilities that can keep people apart for their

own protection and safety.”

Bloemink notes that Interior Health is al-ready conducting its own investigation into the situation and in-formation will also be recorded as part of a B.C.-wide provincial incident-learning sys-tem.

“Interior Health al-ways wants to learn what we can from any situation and continue to improve care to our population of demen-tia clients… We want

to learn so we can do better next time and re-inforce our effort on the things we are already doing now.”

She says Interior Health has met with the families of both men and will continue to do so.

“We, of course, offer our sincere condolenc-es to the family.”

Cause of death undetermined

Care facility: An investigation is underway concerning an altercation between two elderly Bastion Place residents with dementia and the death of one of the men four days later.

Tipping pointDrivers honk their horns in support of Ernie Scheil’s one-man protest of high gas prices in Salmon Arm Thursday afternoon along the Trans-Canada Highway. Schiel said he has become frustrated with the trend where locals have to pay more at the pump than those in neighbouring communities. Regular gas that day was 137.9 a litre in Salmon Arm, while it was 129.9 a litre in Enderby and Vernon, and could be purchased in Kamloops for 120.9. He continued similar protests over the weekend and on Tuesday.

ment and protocols; that, next to your faith, is the most important thing.”

Back in Monrovia, days were busy and long. Unlike Foya where she might have gone into the clinic ev-ery two or three days, Kauffeldt was donning the protective gear and entering highly contam-inated areas as many as three times a day.

“You can’t be in the suit more than 75 min-utes, but we were in there up to 90 minutes at a time,” she says, ex-plaining nobody was allowed to put on the suit unless they were properly nourished.

MSF and Kendell, as head of the Samaritan’s Purse mission, made urgent pleas for help to the World Health Or-ganization, United Na-tions and the Liberian government, requests that fell on deaf ears. The two agencies did their best, but the death toll rose quickly.

“On average, we were bagging two to three bodies a day,” she says with a long pause when asked what it was like to be so close to people who were dying. “Ebola is something straight from hell.”

A hemorrhagic dis-ease, Ebola includes violent expulsions of diarrhea and vomiting, accompanied by raging fever and eventually bleeding out through the body’s orifices.

“So, so many people in so much pain you can’t even touch their skin... The doctors and nurses we worked with tried so hard to give some kind of comfort,” something Kauffeldt says was extremely dif-ficult with the no-touch policy. “You comfort through your eyes and maybe a cold drink.”

Kauffeldt says that by July 20 it was ob-vious to MSF and Sa-maritan’s Purse that the situation was spiralling out of control and be-yond the abilities of the two organizations.

When Dr. Kent Brantley and Nancy Writebol were con-

firmed to have Ebola, the decision was made to evacuate other mem-bers of the Samaritan’s Purse team.

Kauffeldt and her children were in a sec-ond group to be evacu-ated and had no idea where they were going until they were on the plane. They were not permitted to disclose their destination.

Having to leave her husband until the next evacuation was dif-ficult, but something Kauffeldt understood because of his position.

“In all, the hardest thing was not being able to hug each oth-er; we just stood and looked at each other and cried,” she says.

Once back in North America, team mem-bers followed medical protocols, taking their temperatures twice a day for 21 days. Con-sidered to be low-risk for spreading the dis-ease, Kauffeldt said nobody felt much like going out among other people anyway.

“We had just been through hell; we just wanted to find a hole and rest in it.”

Back in North Amer-ica, Kendell will stay with the couple’s sons, 10-year-old Isaac and 11-year-old Felix while Kauffeldt is in Liberia.

Samaritan’s Purse has refocused their pro-gramming to one of a public health response.

“We are not respond-ing clinically, so no one will go into the units at all,” she says, noting workers will be training

Liberians and provid-ing care kits and protec-tion kits comprised of a bucket with chlorine, soap and gloves. “Our approach is working to reduce the transmission of Ebola and training Liberians to care for Li-berians.”

Secure in God’s grace, Kauffeldt says she is not afraid to re-turn to Africa.

“I would say I have a peace about going. Does that mean I won’t have some anxious-ness when I land? No,” she says. “I have a full understanding that my life is in God’s hands, but that doesn’t mean I like the fact Ebola is destroying my home for the past 10 years. I want to kick it in the

butt, but I have a very strong respect for the disease.”

Intent on taking life day-by-day for the mo-ment, in the long-term, Kauffeldt is not fin-ished with Liberia.

“God doesn’t send us to easy places,” she says. “Working with Sams, we go into places that people are trying to get out of, that’s just the nature of our work. And in some ways, we have an amazing opportunity to help them in a prac-tical way, show them God’s love and that there is hope.”

And her hope right now is that the interna-tional community will step up to the plate.

“It is very evident and obvious that WHO

and the UN were very slow to respond...” says Kauffeldt.

“Now there’s a lot more people respond-ing, but they just came too late to the dance.”

Editorial

With our Salute to the Sockeye celebrations underway, the Shuswap is once again being treated to the highest gas prices in the region.

This should come as no surprise to Salmon Arm and Sicamous residents, many of whom seem resigned to paying whatever petroleum compa-nies deem we should be paying, regardless of whether it’s just or good for the local economy. To others, however, it’s highway robbery. As of last Thursday, while residents of the two Shuswap municipalities were paying 137.9 per litre, folks in Enderby and Vernon were paying 129.9. And Kamloops – are you sitting down? Kamloops was paying 120.9.

Meanwhile, the price per barrel has been going down.

Once again, no surprises – nothing new to see here. But that doesn’t mean we shouldn’t get angry. A fellow came into the Observer office in a fit over the disparity Salmon Arm residents face at the pump. While voicing his frustration, city council was reviewing the 2015 budget, discuss-ing a 1.9 per cent tax increase. The day prior, the Shuswap Community Foundation released its Vital Signs report which, among other things, notes there is a “significant gap between the rich and the poor in this community,” and that “wages for entry level jobs are quite low, which pushes people away to larger communities.”

Life in the Shuswap is already a costly proposi-tion. The price at the pump only further aggra-vates an already difficult situation.

Price disparity inflames citizens

for what it’S worth

Tracy Hughes

Well, the nominations have closed and voters in Salmon Arm have a wealth of choices for the upcoming municipal election, both for city council and school board.

With four mayoral candidates, 15 for the six spaces on council and four for school board, the electorate will have to pay attention to whose vision and plans fits with their values when making a choice at the ballot box.

At the outset, I would like to congratulate all the candidates who have put their names forward for municipal office. Politi-cians, like journalists, get a lot of flack – sometimes deserved, sometime not so much.

So it takes a lot of courage to put yourself out there for the whole community to judge your worthiness, and then to also face continual criticism from those in the community who may not agree with your position. It takes fortitude to voice an unpopular opinion or to vote against the crowd.

All the candidates will have slight variations in their reasons for running. Some may have a pet issue, some may have a series of goals; some may have experience, others may feel a fresh voice is what’s needed. But everyone running believes they have some-thing to offer the citizens of this city.

Putting all cynicism aside, people do not run for city council because it is a glamorous or high-paying job. It is a difficult job that requires preparation, research and sometimes clashing with the opinions of valued friends and neighbours.

I think every person out there puts their name on the ballot be-cause they have a desire to make a difference in their community.

And this motivation deserves the respect of the rest of us. Let me say this more loudly and in the immortal words of

Aretha Franklin – R-E-S-P-E-C-T.In this age of Twitter, Facebook and all other social media, I see

some real loss of basic manners and politeness. In my own experience as someone who shares her views in

print on a weekly basis, I see a disintegration of basic respect for each other that directly corresponds to the medium being used. There’s almost a hierarchy of nastiness. From least to worst it goes: in person, by telephone, by letter (which also depends on whether it is a signed or unsigned letter), email and finally posts on social media. People who speak to me face-to-face, even if they are angry and disagree with my position, are generally re-spectful and remember the basic manners their mothers taught them as preschoolers. But there seems to be some disconnect when it comes to some peoples’ use of social media. They say things on the web, often to large audiences, that they would never say to that person’s face.

In my mind, if you wouldn’t say it to that person if you were seated across the kitchen table from them, does it really need to be said (or posted) in that way?

For this election, I’d like to see weighty discussion and hard questions, but I’d also like people to avoid petty, rude or nasty comments. Disagreement is fine, disrespect is not.


View PointThe Observer asked: Do you think the voting age should be lowered to 16?

Rafal Banas“Yeah, I think someone at that age should be able to make an informed decision.”

Tony Mortel “No at 16 they are too easily influenced. Their parents, peers and teachers can easily sway their decisions.”

Kolton Czobey “I don’t see why it shouldn’t be. I was following politics at that age.”

Kameron Smith “I don’t think so, they’re not mature enough at that age to vote.”

Time for truth in treaty talks

Economy, security hinge on climate

Cherry picking leads to untruthsRe: The Observer article on

Oct. 1 titled “MP defends envi-ronmental record.”

It appears from your article that Colin Mayes doesn’t re-spect the opinions of scientists worldwide regarding the many changes occurring in climate, sea-levels, fauna populations, etc. that have been triggered by accelerating man-made CO2 emissions. Instead of showing us that he comprehends the seri-ousness of the situation we face, he does the opposite by glibly cherry picking statements made in the past that now appear to have been incorrect.

The first cherry picked by Mr. Mayes was that a lone scientist in 2007 made a prediction that Himalayan glaciers were likely to disappear in five years (actu-ally the scientist said by 2035).

However, Mr. Mayes failed to point out that this predic-tion was never backed by peer review and was subsequently debunked. There is now solid evidence of rapid glacial melt-ing in the Himalayas.

With respect to polar ice, Mr. Mayes fails to mention that the scientific analysis of satel-lite data since 1980 shows a definite trend in the decrease of Arctic ice volumes by three per cent per decade with large fluctuations from the trend line from year to year. Instead Mr. Mayes cherry-picks a single large fluctuation, of which there are many, which shows that po-lar ice has increased by 40 per cent (since 2012).

Mr. Mayes’ final cherry pick regards the statement made by Al Gore in An Inconvenient

Truth that polar bear numbers would be ravaged, pointing out that recent polar bear ob-servations suggest numbers worldwide are at an all-time high. Closer analysis, however, reveals that these counts may not be good estimates of actual populations. The facts are that polar bear habitat is shrinking as the ice melts and the health and condition of existing popu-lations is observed to be poor.

There is no doubt through-out the scientific community that we are globally facing the most profound changes ever to face mankind. Our leaders must first recognize and publicly ac-knowledge these changes be-fore leading the discussion of what needs to be done.

Dr. Geoff Benson

VICTORIA – Three years ago, long-time chief and band administra-tor Sophie Pierre sought an extension of her term leading the B.C. Treaty Commission and gave a warning. The federal and provincial government should start taking this long and cost-ly effort seriously or “shut ’er down.”

Last week Pierre wound up her sixth and final year as chief com-missioner on a slightly more hopeful note. This year, the Tla’amin Nation in the Powell River area and the Yale First Nation in the Fraser Canyon had their treaties proclaimed by Ottawa.

They join the Maa-nulth First Na-tions on Vancouver Island and the Tsawwassen First Nation in leaving behind the Indian Act and the courts to get on with self-government. Tsaw-wassen in particular has moved ahead aggressively. Its shopping centre de-velopment near the ferry terminal is one of the largest commercial projects in the province right now.

All of these treaties were negotiated despite multiple overlapping territo-rial claims around them, and simi-lar progress has been made with the Tsimshian First Nations on the North Coast and elsewhere.

The need for aboriginal people to work out their overlapping claim is-sues between themselves was the focus of the commission’s 22nd an-nual report. In it, former chief com-missioners Miles Richardson of the Haida Nation and Steven Point of the Sto:lo Nation added their influential voices, urging aboriginal communi-ties to consider them shared territo-ries, rather than clinging to ancient tribal rivalries.

Another hopeful sign is that after seven years of commissions and stud-ies, the federal government has finally given its negotiators a mandate to negotiate fisheries. This is the main reason why the Tla’amin waited five long years for Ottawa’s blessing after their treaty had been hammered out.

This year’s landmark decision of the Supreme Court of Canada, recog-nizing Tsilhqot’in Nation title in the remote Nemiah Valley, has also got the attention of Victoria and Ottawa. Pierre noted the “flurry of activity” by Premier Christy Clark in seeking reconciliation, which will culminate this month with a formal apology for the hanging of Tsilhqot’in chiefs 150 years ago. Pierre said this court ruling “should destroy any lingering thoughts that this issue is not of the utmost importance, and provide the necessary investment, both financial and time commitment, to reach satis-factory conclusions.”

That’s the good news for B.C.’s thorniest historical problem, the lack of treaties across most of the province.

It’s also becoming clearer that the Tsilhqot’in ruling is unique. It’s un-likely to be repeated by most other First Nations, even if they are willing and able to spend the years and mil-lions to enrich lawyers in pursuit of it.

Here’s the bad news. As of this year, the B.C. Treaty Commission has paid out $627 million to First Nations to support treaty negotiations. Most of that is in the form of loans, which are to be repaid out of the cash settle-ments that Ottawa contributes to settle modern treaties.

Pierre acknowledges that some communities are close to completing treaties, but their debt has climbed to near what Ottawa is offering. This would leave them free but broke.

Others are just “spinning their wheels” with no real hope of achiev-ing a treaty, Pierre said. The commis-sion is calling for an “exit strategy” for these communities, starting with loan forgiveness that would allow them to pursue economic activity.

There are First Nations, Westbank and Osoyoos, prominent among them, which are thriving without treaties. Haida and Klahoose have developed successful forest products businesses as they move toward self-government.

Federal and provincial govern-ments must recognize the successes,

MP Colin Mayes says the Harper government is “doing a reasonably good job” in ad-dressing climate change (‘MP defends environmental re-cord,’ Oct. 1). He should read the recent audit of Canada’s Environment Commissioner, which documents the govern-ment’s lack of action on climate change.

The audit rated the govern-ment’s progress in four key areas as unsatisfactory. A key deficiency is the government’s failure to set greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions reduction targets for the oil and gas indus-try, Canada’s fastest-growing source of GHGs. The audit states that without regulating the oil and gas industry, Canada

will be unable to meet its own target of reducing GHGs (17 per cent below 2005 levels by the year 2020).

I am utterly dismayed that Mr. Mayes continues to deny the science of climate change. He should see Thin Ice, a fas-cinating film depicting the vast array of field science on global warming. It shows how those who deny global warming is happening, and deny that hu-man society is responsible, are tragically wrong.

He should also see the docu-mentary, Disruption, created especially for the lead-up to the United Nations Emergency Summit Meeting on Global Climate Change. Its mes-sage is that without immediate

strong action to address climate change, the world is on track for a warming of six degrees Cel-sius above pre-industrial levels. Scientists tell us that for a safe climate world, we must limit warming to no more than two degrees Celsius.

Mr. Mayes should recognize that the Harper government’s goals of security and economic progress for Canadians can be realized only in the context of a safe-climate world. But time is running out. Once the per-mafrost starts to melt, releasing massive amounts of methane, we will see catastrophic uncon-trollable climate change, and it will be too late.

Election 2014Make an informed decision!


Although the overall in-crease in spending proposed for the City of Salmon Arm in 2015 is 3.9 per cent, taxpayers will be paying about half that – 1.9 per cent – on their 2015 tax bill.

For the owner of what’s con-sidered an average house of $280,000 in Salmon Arm, that translates to a $25 tax increase. However, a $22.70 reduction per household in the cost of recycling/garbage pickup, plus an $18 increase in the water and sewer utilities, ends up with a $20.30 increase for that average home.

Businesses will see a $21.50 increase for each $100,000 of assessed value, as well as a $17 increase across the board for utilities.

On Thursday, Oct. 9, council members went through the $30 million budget prepared by staff to see if they could whittle

down the proposed four per cent increase in spending – which they did by .1 per cent. Two per cent is the estimated amount for growth – which will fund changes in various operational costs. That left another two per cent for tax-payers to cover, which council reduced to 1.9 per cent.

The tax rate will be finalized in May 2015 by a new council once all assessed numbers are in, as well as tax rates from other governments.

Monica Dalziel, the city’s chief financial officer, ex-plained the tax increase is largely attributed to a one per cent increase in capital fund-ing in transportation, which includes a variety of costs ranging from drainage to side-walks, to roads and new equip-ment. The other one per cent is for increased costs for ice and snow control. The snow and ice control reserve has now been depleted.

For Coun. Marg Kentel, for

whom this is her last city bud-get as she isn’t seeking re-elec-tion, the highlight was the pro-posed Ross Street Underpass.

“The one big one for me is we’re moving ahead toward getting the under-pass, which will be a major part of our transportation network in Salm-on Arm when it does come to frui-tion. To me that’s a highlight.”

The detailed de-sign of the under-pass is scheduled for 2015, to be funded from the Development Cost Charge Un-derpass Reserve Fund at a cost of $470,000.

Overall, Kentel termed the budget “well-rounded” and “prudent.”

Under highlights, Mayor Nancy Cooper said she was pleased to learn the arena de-benture had been renewed with

the interest rate dropping from 3.15 to 2.10 per cent for a sav-ing of $73,500.

She also mentioned $20,000 towards the flood hazard as-sessment, and $30,000 in a

reserve for public transit. She noted that installation of storm sewer with curb and gutter along 46th Avenue SE in the industrial park will proceed.

Coun. Ken Ja-mieson pointed out that the 1.9 per cent tax increase is close to the cur-rent rate of infla-

tion. Under big-ticket items, he mentioned the foreshore sewer line project, as well as the storm-sewer installation in the industrial park. He also listed “smaller but important expen-ditures” such as the flood-risk assessment funding, improve-

ments to parks in town – notably phase two at Jackson Park in Ca-noe, a contribution to help with building on the fairgrounds, and a safe and at-grade pedestrian crossing at Narcisse Avenue (the Churches Thrift Store crossing).

Coun. Chad Eliason said he thinks the most important part of the budget was keeping the tax increase below two per cent – and staying within the city’s long-term financial plan.

“It’s very hard to operate a city with zero tax increases when the costs associated with running a city that are out of our control continue to increase,” he said, re-ferring to items such as the polic-ing budget.

He noted this is the first time in his tenure that council has completed the budget prior to the election of a new council, but he thinks it was the right move be-cause of the large projects coun-cil has committed to: borrowing for the cemetery, upgrades to Blackburn Park and replacement

of the foreshore sewer main. Coun. Denise Reimer is com-

fortable with the 1.9 per cent in-crease, noting such costs as new provincial contaminated sites legislation as well as policing, which council can’t control.

She termed the foreshore sewer main project “a must,” which has required an increase to sewer user fees of 5.29 per cent. She hopes the city’s ap-plication for federal funding will be suc-cessful and will off-set user fee increases in 2016. She, too, is pleased with funds for the flood risk assessment.

Coun. Debbie Cannon said she was excited to get $30,000 in a reserve to support an extension of transit services, and is pleased the storm sewer extension will proceed on 46th Avenue in the industrial park.

Another highlight was keep-ing $10,000 in the budget for greenways planning, as well as

$20,000 for the flood assessment.She also mentioned the im-

portance of the foreshore sewer main, and noted the costs over which council has no control.

“I think, all in all, to keep it at a 1.9 per cent increase is not bad.”

Coun. Alan Har-rison said he would have liked to have seen cost reductions in a few more areas, but overall he thinks the budget is fair.

General highlights for him are in core funding, such as sus-taining current man-power for the police and fire departments, and increasing the

snow removal budget for both roads and sidewalks.

Along with the foreshore sani-tary sewer main and the cem-etery, he mentioned three smaller projects: completion of resurfac-ing of the McGuire Lake Walk, refurbishing the Canoe Ball Park infields and $415,000 to alleviate the drainage problems on 46th Avenue in the industrial park.

CP Rail is all aboard the Ross Street under-pass project with a $1 million commitment, though construction may not be on track for another few years.

During city council’s budget deliberations last Thursday, admin-istrator Carl Bannister presented to council a letter from CP govern-ment affairs director Mike LoVecchio, stat-ing the company sup-ports the project and has earmarked $1 mil-lion towards it.

LoVecchio explains the offer comes “with-out prejudice,” but re-quires the signing of a project agreement be-tween the city and CP, and comes with a dead-line of Dec. 31, 2016. He notes the underpass would benefit CP by reducing vehicle and pedestrian interactions with CP tracks, “in-creasing the efficiency and safety of our op-eration.”

Bannister said the letter represents CP is supportive of the proj-ect, both monetarily and in terms of the $40,000 in related de-sign work that has al-ready been done.

“You might recall we had to change the scope of the project because CP is insisting on keep-ing the three tracks that are there,” said Bannis-ter. “So we addressed that issue and advanced the design to where it is right now.”

Mayor Nancy Coo-per later told the Ob-server that she is grateful for CP’s com-mitment, but she will be looking for a “fur-ther contribution from them and I think they are well aware of that.”

“I understand, down the road, we could see more trains at faster speeds coming through Salmon Arm, so elimi-nating a crossing is ad-vantageous to CP. My task will be to convince CP that advantage is worth more.”

In the new year, the city will proceed with a detailed design of the underpass. This de-sign is expected to cost

$470,000, to be funded from the Development Cost Charge (DCC) Underpass Reserve fund.

“So it doesn’t really affect the tax impact of this budget,” said Ban-nister, noting the two design projects repre-sent about six per cent of the cost of the over-all project, estimated at $8 million after CP’s contribution.

“That includes a 30 per cent contingency,” said Bannister. “If you take that contingency off, it’s at 5.6 million for the cost of the proj-ect. So we are advanc-ing the project.”

Discussion of the underpass was initi-ated by a debate be-tween councillors as to whether $30,000 be budgeted for a City Centre Transportation Plan which, according to public works and en-gineering director Rob Niewenhuizen, would build on a downtown transportation study undertaken in 2008/09, and a traffic corridor study (focused on the Trans-Canada High-way), funded in part by ICBC and the province. Among the second study’s recommenda-tions was the moving of traffic signals from Ross Street to Fourth.

Coun. Alan Harri-son noted downtown businesses were op-posed to this, and said he couldn’t support the new study, calling it premature.

Coun. Denise Re-imer said the study is important, but agreed with Harrison that 2015 isn’t the time for it.

“I personally believe we should be looking at this when we’re look-ing at the underpass as a whole, so that hope-fully we get more bang for our buck,” said Re-imer.

Coun. Marg Ken-tel argued the traffic study should proceed in 2015, while Coun. Ken Jamieson agreed it should be bound up with the underpass.

The argument was resolved with council’s unanimous support to set aside $15,000 in re-serve to fund the study in the future.

CP pledges $1 million to underpass

Site: A letter from CP Rail to the city confirmed a company con-tribution of $1 million towards the development of an underpass at Ross Street. An agreement must be signed by Dec. 31, 2016.

Assault with bear sprayIt was a very unpleasant start to one landlord’s morning. At approximately 7 a.m. on Monday, Oct. 7, a landlord checking his property on 10th Ave. SW was assaulted. Upon arrival at a rental unit, the landlord noticed a unknown male with a key to the residence. While attempting to retrieve the key, a 23-year-old man from Salmon Arm deployed bear spray into the face of the land-lord. Police went to the scene and located the suspect nearby. The man was arrested and will be facing charges of assault with a weapon.

Suspect makes getawayDespite the assistance of a police tracking dog, the suspect in a smash-and-grab theft has not yet been located.At approximately 1 a.m., on Friday, Oct. 10, a man smashed the doors of Piccadilly Mall and stole items from one of the businesses within. Police went to the scene and sought the assis-tance of a police dog in an attempt to follow the suspect, however, they were unable to imme-diately locate him. The police investigation is continuing.

Demerits for the distractedTalking on your handheld phone or fiddling with a music player while driving will cost driv-ers three penalty points in addition to a $167 fine, effective Oct. 20. This is the same as the penalty for texting and driving. Penalty points are also added for infractions such as watching a video or programming a phone’s GPS system.Penalty points remain on a driving record for five years, and result in a $175 increase in insurance as soon as they exceed three points. Fines and points for two distracted driving tickets in a year add up to at least $634. At nine points, the Superintendent of Motor Vehicles considers licence suspension.

Serving it right Shoppers were treated to free cake and entertainment in celebration of the Mall at Piccadilly’s 19th anniversary on Saturday, Oct. 11. Close to 500 pieces of cake were handed out.

The investment agreement that came into effect between Canada and China on Oct. 1 should not worry Canadians.

This is the view of Okanagan-Shuswap MP Co-lin Mayes, who responded to questions about the controversial Foreign Investment Promotion and Protection Agreement (FIPA), saying it is good for Canadians.

“I think most people do not understand the pur-pose of that FIPA agreement and that was sim-ply to assure that Canadian investors that invest in China are kept to the same standards in China, as far as their investment, as Chinese business people.

When Chinese business people come here to Canada, they have to also basically live by the laws of the land. They’re not being given any sort of preferential treatment nor are Canadian busi-ness people so they can compete against any for-eign investors… It’s almost like best practices as far as businesses in China –saying that (Canadi-an) investors in China will be protected or treated equally with the Chinese business community.”

Critics of the agreement have said that China benefits more than Canada, as both countries can keep existing restrictions. Other concerns expressed have cen-tred around: • Chinese companies being able to seek compensation from the Canadian gov-ernment if their projects are set back by factors that could include First Nations rights or envi-ronmental issues; • the stipulation that such cases can be decided by a secret tribunal; • the length of the deal, as it can’t be completely cancelled for 31 years, and • the apparent secrecy surrounding the signing of the deal. Critics point to the agreement not being ratified for two years after it was reached, with no public debate.

Mayes doesn’t see it as secretive. “I’ve been here now for nine years and we were

talking about it two years ago. It’s not as if it just came up. This has been discussed. The minister has been reporting on the progress, he’s con-firmed what the purpose of the FIPA agreement is… This has been ongoing, it didn’t happen in the last month or two, it’s been going for a couple of years now.”

He also sees the three-decade term as a neces-sary thing for business.

“We have to remember that, let’s say, the Chi-nese come in here and spend multi-billions of dol-lars and it’s going to take them 25 to 30 years to get their investment back with hopefully a profit margin, or if Canadians are in China in the same circumstance, you just can’t, this is not a short-term thing. Businesses don’t invest billions in other countries and then expect to get their invest-ment back or their return on investment in five or 10 years. It’s a long-term investment.”

As for secret tribunals deciding foreign compa-nies’ claims against the government, Mayes says this is not giving them special privileges. He said such claims would only arise “if the Canadian government was treating a Chinese company dif-ferently than Canadian businesses.”

The Vipers’ Liam Coughlin shoots like he’s a member of the North Okanagan Trap and Skeet Club. Prob-lem is he’s been slight-ly off the mark in his past few B.C. Hockey League tilts.

The South Boston product hit the bull’s-eye Friday night at Kal Tire Place in Vernon, squeaking a five-hole blast past Angus Red-mond on a late third-pe-riod rush as the Vernon Vipers shaded the Salm-on Arm Silverbacks 3-2 in front of 1,700 fans.

“You get nine shots a game, one of them has to go in, right?” grinned Coughlin.

Friday’s game was déja vu for the Gorillas, who lost 3-2 in over-time to Surrey at South Surrey Arena Wednes-day night.

Anthony Latina, with his team-leading fourth goal, jumpstarted Ver-non’s attack in the first period after some good hustle by linemate Luke Voltin, who drove to the net and was poke-checked by Angus Red-mond (27 saves). The rebound went straight to Latina, 20, who had no problem burying it in a wide open net at 8:24.

The’ Backs equalized at 11:48 as Taro Hirose took the feed from Tay-lor Maruya, drove up the middle and finished with a slick backhander, top shelf.

Salmon Arm failed to convert on an early 5-on-3 in the second period, but with 1:13 remaining in the second penalty, a cross-check-ing minor to Trevor Fidler, Chase Priskie threaded a point shot through traffic, going post-and-in behind a screened Jarrod Scha-merhorn (21 saves).

Vernon got into pen-alty trouble again in the second period, sending Salmon Arm on another 5-on-3.

Viper forward Thom-as Aldworth, who took the original penalty, came out of the box, took a feed from Fidler and used his wheels to earn a shorthanded breakaway. He beat Redmond with a fore-hand-backhand deke to make it 2-2 before the ice clean.

“I saw an opportu-nity when the puck got turned over and Fidler made a good play,” said Aldworth, a Texan who previously played prep school hockey in

Massachusetts.“We were just re-

ally focused tonight and we had a lot of en-ergy as well. Our team just wanted it more; we were working really hard all night.”

Aldworth, named first star, nearly had the go-ahead goal in the opening minute of pe-riod three, but he flicked his shot off the crossbar

after taking a shovel pass from TJ Dumon-ceux.

The Vipers weathered an early penalty kill early in the third period, then used their speed to smother Salmon Arm. They held the visitors to just one shot before the ‘Backs finally started getting pucks on Scha-merhorn in the final minutes.

“We didn’t have the third period we were looking for,” said Salm-on Arm head coach Brandon West. “We broke down a couple times and we didn’t get the puck to the net, but we were never out of it.”

Logan Mick, a for-mer Viper who is enjoy-ing a larger role since landing in Salmon Arm this season, said it’s just

a matter of time before the ‘Backs put it all to-gether.

“We could have been a lot better tonight, but it’s just one of those things where pucks weren’t going our way,” said Mick, 18.

“Our work ethic is there, we’ve just got to work smarter and devel-op our systems a little more. Once we do that,

we’ll be in good shape.”Salmon Arm turned

it around in a big way Saturday night at the Nicola Valley Arena, where they dominated Merritt in a 6-1 rout.

The Silverbacks host Victoria at the Shaw Centre on Friday night at 7 and Langley on Sunday at 3 p.m.

This past Saturday, the Tier 2 peewee Silvertips faced off against Kamloops at McArthur Island.

Colby Feist of the Silvertips opened the scoring with just a minute left into the first period, blazing down the ice and busting through the Kamloops defenders to score a short-handed marker.

Kamloops eventually tied the game early in the second period, and took the lead with five minutes left on a controversial goal.

The ’Tips goaltender, Rod May appeared to have the puck covered and under control, but with no whistle to be heard, the Kamloops forwards dug it out from under his glove and scored.

Kamloops would increase the gap to two early in the third, but Salmon Arm refused to go down without a fight.

Taylor Howard would slip a rebound past the Blazers’ goalie five minutes later, and the Silvertips would continue to press for the tying goal. Unfortunately for Salmon Arm fans that would be as close as they would come, dropping a 3-2 decision on the road.

The Silvertips welcome Penticton to Sicamous for a home game on Saturday, Oct. 18.

Bantam ’TipsThe bantam Tier 2 Silvertips

played in West Kelowna all weekend for their first tourna-ment of the season.

The Scotiabank Silver-tips’ weekend began Saturday morning with a game against Coquitlam, and the ’Tips sure made a show of it. The entire team contributed to earn a fan-tastic 6-0 win to energize the squad. They all had time for some team-building, rest and food before the second game started at 5:15 that afternoon against Comox.

It was apparent the ’Tips showed up to play as they came away with a stunning 5-0 win. They finished the first day of the tourney 2-0.

The team building contin-ued that evening and into the next day as Salmon Arm didn’t have their next game until 4:15 p.m. against New Westminster. The Silvertips knew they had to work hard to get a third win but, after a lot of effort, they managed to leave with a tie game at 1-1.

Thanksgiving day began early with a semifinal game against Salmon Arm’s neme-sis, the Westside Warriors, and what a penalty-filled game that turned out to be.

Salmon Arm won the match

4-1 as Westside decided to play a tough game but forgot about scoring. With more than 45 minutes in penalties against them, power-play goals broke the Warriors’ back.

Salmon Arm found them-selves in unfamiliar territory as they had earned a spot in the final game against New West-minster.

The match was a grinder from beginning to end, with the shot clock showing 45-17 in favour of Salmon Arm. Regulation play ended with a score of 2-2, which forced the

five minute overtime period, and again ended with an un-changed score.

The game was settled with a shootout and a final score of 3-2 for New Westminster.

The Tier 2 Silvertips al-lowed only four goals in 15 regulation periods, and played some incredibly gutsy hockey against some stiff competi-tion. The entire team including coaches, could not have made Salmon Arm any prouder as they represented their town with the utmost in sportsman-ship.

Feeding the need(From left) Kari Wilkinson, Salmon Arm Rotary Club, Dean Olynik, Askew’s Foods CEO, Norm Brown, Salmon Arm Rotary Club president and Morag Asquith, School District 83 director of instruction - Student Services pose for the launch of a school lunch program for children in need at elementary schools in Falkland, Enderby, Salmon Arm, Silver Creek, Sorrento and Sicamous. Research began with the help of School District 83 teachers and principals to identify how many kids regularly needed food assistance beyond the already operating breakfast programs. Through this process, approximately 400 children and youth were identified throughout School District 83. Salmon Arm Rotary Club quickly found a partner with Askew’s Foods - who in turn asked their suppliers for assistance. The pilot program, running for the duration of the 2014/15 school year, has a total budget of $30,000.

Meetings on waste managementOver the past sev-

eral weeks, Columbia Shuswap Regional District (CSRD) staff has been working with its Solid Waste Plan Monitoring Advisory Committee to update the Solid Waste Man-agement Plan (SWMP) for 2015 - 2019.

The committee is comprised of members from the public who represent electoral ar-eas and member mu-nicipalities. Regional First Nation bands, waste hauling contrac-tors, recycling facility owners, and staff from the B.C. Ministry of Environment also sit on the committee.

CSRD staff and consultants are part of the committee as non-voting members and provide technical sup-port and facilitation services.

Several recommen-dations presented by both the consultant and CSRD staff were ranked by the com-

mittee based on social, economic and environ-mental impacts.

These recommen-dations were then re-fined to a short list, which the committee is now recommending be implemented in the SWMP update. Before developing this imple-mentation plan, all op-tions should be consid-ered by the public.

In order to help maximize residents’ understanding of these recommended options, the CSRD is hosting a series of open house meetings throughout the region and is en-couraging everyone in the community to attend and share their thoughts:

• Salmon Arm – Sat-urday, Oct. 25 from 1 to 3 p.m. in the CSRD board room at 781 Ma-rine Park Drive NE

• Sorrento/Electoral Area C – Monday, Oct. 27 from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m. at the Sor-rento Drop-in Society

at 1150 Passchendaele Rd.

• Sicamous/Electoral Area E – Monday, Nov. 3 from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m. at the Red Barn at 1226 Riverside Ave.

• Falkland/Electoral Area D – Wednesday, Nov. 5 from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m. at the Falk-land Seniors Hall at 5706 Hwy. 97

• Scotch Creek/Elec-toral Area F – Thurs-day, Nov. 6 from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m. at Scotch Creek Firehall at 3852 Squilax-Anglemont Hwy.

Feedback received from the public and the committee will help guide the update to the solid waste manage-ment plan.

The final updated SWMP for 2015-2019 must then be accepted by the CSRD board of directors and approved by the BC Ministry of Environment.

For further infor-mation, contact Ben Van Nostrand at 250-833-5940, toll free at 1-888-248-2773, or visit the CSRD website at www.csrd.bc.ca.

All was quiet on the er front Mon-

day morning; but the emergency ward

at Shuswap lake General Hospital was

hopping on the weekend.

A sign posted at triage and in the wait-

ing room advised would-be patients that

the Shuswap lake General’s emergency

room was 27.5 per cent over capacity, re-

sulting in long wait times.

“That’s very much summer in the

Shuswap,” said Thompson-cariboo–

Shuswap acute care director Peter du

Toit Monday morning. “but things are

back to normal.”

du Toit agreed last week was an ex-

tremely busy one for the er, as it almost

always is after the August long weekend,

when people are out enjoying the lake –

something that increases the chance for

accidents or overexposure to sun.

“As the town gets busy, we get busy,”

he said, pointing out the reasons for go-

ing to er are varied and that staff pre-

pared for the increased summer activity.

“We brought in an additional doctor in

emerg as well as extra nurses and cleri-

cal staff.”

“I am very glad to say staff and the doc-

tors have pulled together in terms of pro-

viding good patient care,” du Toit said,

noting visits to er are being tracked and

will be correlated in the fall – after the

rush dies down.

The no-fire ring around Salmon Arm has been

broken.

A Wildfire branch helicopter returning to the

Salmon Arm Airport Sunday evening spotted a

fire in larch Hills.

A five-person initial attack crew from Kam-

loops was sent in and by Tuesday morning, the

fire was in patrol stage.

because of its location and the extreme fire

risk, a three-person crew headed up yesterday to

walk through the area to make sure there are no

hot spots.

“It’s probably anywhere between 20 metres

by 20 metres,” said fire protection officer larry

osachoff Monday morning, noting the fire was a

holdover lightning strike from July 23 and that a

3,000 gallon water tank had been sent up to the

scene. “It dug itself in pretty good.”

Two lightning caused fires reported last week

are now under aircraft patrol.

Wildfire officials have been pleased with the

public’s response about a fire prohibition – up un-

til recently.

“We’re starting to see issues around,” said osa-

choff, noting patrols are picking up one or two

campfire contraventions a day. “They’re saying

‘we’re oK, we don’t have to abide by the rules.’”

osachoff says a Scotch creek property owner

had a campfire going on the weekend and, when

confronted, said it was for cooking purposes, an

excuse that did not impress osachoff.

“There’s a house and two trailers and all the ap-

paratuses you need to cook.”

osachoff says there will be follow up, perhaps

in the form of a non-compliance ticket.

“People do get the message when they receive

the $345 ticket,” he said.

A fire Saturday at Marble Point Provincial Park

was not the result of a campfire but was definitely

person-caused.

“The majority of people are being really good

on and around the lake, but we’re still finding

there are houseboat and regular boat users still

using campfires and fireworks and I know parks

branch is getting frustrated,” osachoff said.

He noted that houseboat companies have been

Wilderness dweller Chris Czajkowski has taken a step back in time.

The best-selling author shares her pre-solitude life in And the River Still Sings, a book that has hit No. 1 on the B.C. Bestsellers’ List.

The author of 11 books is on a tour that will make a stop at the Salmon Arm library branch next Friday.

Located on the shores of a high-altitude alpine lake in the heart of B.C.’s Coast Mountains, remote Nuk Tessli was the subject of many of the author’s books.

Czajkowski created a resort in 1988, and single-handedly built two cabins, adding a third 10 years later.

“I never liked running the tourist business but I had to have a licence to operate on Crown lands,” she says. “I made great friends, but physically I had bad knees and I couldn’t get around as fast as the tourists any-more.”

Czajkowski’s cabins were 150 miles from the near-est banks, traf� c lights, su-permarkets and cell phone service and were accessible by an overnight hike, or a 20-minute � oat plane ride.

“I still live off the grid and I still live in the West Chil-cotin,” she says, noting she has moved to a property that is 40 kilometres from a tiny town with a store, doctor’s

of� ce and community hall. “I couldn’t live without cit-ies, but I can’t live in them.”

Czajkowski recognizes there are things that are available only in cities and makes the best of the ame-nities when she visits.

The author says her pub-lisher asked her to write about her days before soli-tude.

“They said ‘we want to know what you were like as a kid,’” she laughs, noting she obliged because book sales are what put food on her table.

Born in England, Cza-jkowski says she was al-ways a solitary child.

After graduating from agricultural school, she saw a note on a board advertis-ing a farm exchange, but women were only invited to do housework or tend chil-dren.

Instead, an indignant and adventurous Czajkowski � lled her backpack and spent the next decade ex-ploring the world, hitchhik-ing and travelling by cargo boats and occasionally small � ights. She met indi-viduals, couples or families primarily at campgrounds and travelled with them for a day or more, depending on who was going where.

“It seemed like every man and his dog was going in an old vehicle from London to Khathmandu,” she laughs of the late 1960s and early

’70s. “The students I was travelling with couldn’t go there because of the mon-soons.”

So, Czajkowski met up with another group and visited Nepal’s biggest city before heading to Australia in 1971.

“That was the � rst place I went hiking alone for more than a day,” she says of the vast country. “It was the most euphoric experience. I don’t know why, it just seemed so fabulous to be alone in the bush.”

Czajkowski worked on dairy farms in Australia be-fore heading to New Zea-land, where she worked for

� ve years.“While I lived in South

Island, I started doing soli-tary trips,” she says. “You see things so much more clearly when you’re alone; you’re so much a part of the landscape.”

Czajkowski, who loved New Zealand, remembers thinking if she remained there, she would always wonder what the other half of the world was like.

So, she departed for South America, living for a time in the Falkland Islands before the brief 1982 war when Argentina invaded the British-owned islands.

Working her way north,

Czajkowski was unable to get a visa to enter the US. She returned to Europe for a couple of months to get her papers before returning to North America and ful-� lling a childhood dream to travel to Canada.

“Mountains are the draw; the land is higher at this end of the country,” she laughs, noting she grew up in � at lands and saw her � rst hilly country at the age of eight. “I am an artist and I suppose it’s an artistic response. I have always loved the wild country.”

Now living a little closer to the grid, Czajkowski still draws water from a well

and is without a hot water system. But she does have solar power that allows her to run her computer and travel the world via Internet.

“I do a lot of research,” she says, noting her love of reading and a preference for detective � ction. “I � nd a reference and go look it up on Internet to see if it’s a fake.”

Czajkowski will share her stories at 6 p.m. Friday, Oct. 24 at the Salmon Arm Library in the Mall at Pic-cadilly.

In the meantime, fans can follow Czajkowski on her blog at wildernessdweller.ca.

The shores of Adams River were crowded on the weekend as thousands of people viewed millions of sockeye salmon return-ing to their spawning grounds.

Among the many people on-site were North Shuswap au-thor Deanna Barn-hardt Kawatski and her daughter Natalia, who have co-authored a book that pays homage to the sockeye’s cycle of life.

Deanna will share her latest book, Sami-ra, the Singing Salm-on at the Shuswap Writer’s Group coffee house, to be held at Choices Restaurant at 7 p.m. Friday, Oct. 24 A children’s book, it was written in honour of the sockeye salmon returning home to the Adams River this fall.

Natalia’s bright de-tailed paintings add an-other dimension to this whimsical story, based on the actual journey of the salmon, but with

the added dimensions of fantasy and song.

Mother and daugh-ter will talk about their collaboration and cre-ation of a book worked on over a four-year pe-riod.

Kawatski is the au-thor of seven books, including Wilderness Mother, Clara and Me, Stalking the Wild Heart, and Burning Man, Slaying Dragon.

Copies of Samira, the Singing Salmon will be available.

Deanna will also be in Salmon Arm Wednesday night for the launch of Big Trees Saved and other Feats – The Story of the Shus-wap Environmental Action Society. It was written to celebrate the 25th anniversary of the Shuswap Environmen-tal Action Society.

The event features live music, a multi-media presentation, speakers, including Deanna, and refresh-ments. It takes place at 7 p.m. Oct. 15 at the hall at First United Church.

For more informa-tion on Samira the Singing Salmon, visit Deanna’s website at www.deannabkawats-ki.com

Practising good stewardshipKay Braby is a com-

munity powerhouse. Wherever she sees need, she does her best to alleviate it.

“We have so much here, I have so much, but there’s such a lot of need and sometimes it takes a bit of leadership to provide the machin-ery for people to be able to do something to con-tribute,” says the United Church member. “As a Christian I feel a re-sponsibility to share with other people.”

And that is what a series of stewardship sessions on Oct. 22 are designed to do.

Four highly respected individuals will pres-ent an afternoon and evening workshop to share information about stewardship. It is open to everyone n the com-munity.

Jane Harding, re-gional financial devel-

opment officer with the church’s philanthropy unit, helps congrega-tions achieve total fi-nancial health and in-dividuals realize their dreams for the church.

Next up, David Ar-mour, president of the United Church of Can-ada Foundation, has headed major fundrais-ing campaigns as chief executive officer of the Canadian Olympic Foundation and United Way of Canada.

He is a practised speaker and leader and facilitator is strategic planning, program planning, revenue gen-eration and on-site cam-paign analysis.

First United’s interim minister, Rev. Lynn El-liot specializes in as-sisting congregations through times of transi-tion. She brings a back-ground in both business and the non-profit sec-tor and worked as the development officer for

St. Andrews and St. Ste-phen’s colleges.

Also presenting is Rev. Ivy Thomas, con-ference minister for the Kamloops-Okanagan Presbytery and is a skilled practitioner in The Circle Way, leading workshops and retreats that encourage story-telling and personal growth.

The event begins with a 90 minute stewardship session from 3:30 to 5 p.m. after which par-ticipants are invited to continue conversation over a by-donation soup and a bun.

This will be followed by Wednesday Worship from 6 to 6:30 p.m., a half-hour of coffee, treats and conversation at 6:30, prior to a sec-ond stewardship gather-ing from 7 to 8:30 p.m.

This gathering will provide opportunity for discussion and learning about stewardship as a faith response. It will

touch on both practi-cal and professional approaches to legacy programs and ongo-ing implementation of stewardship practices that bring giving into the overall way of being the church.

No stranger to the concept, Braby helped get the Second Harvest Food Bank up and run-ning, has volunteered in Ghana, helped operate the church’s Inn From the Cold program to give homeless people a place to sleep and is excited to have worked with First Nations peo-ple to restore the delta, with a view of discover-ing native plants.

Braby worked with School District #83’s aboriginal education department last year in what she calls a mutual education program.

The book launch for Big Trees Saved and other feats – The story of the Shuswap Environmental Action Society by well known author Deanna Kawatski, is set for 7 pm on October 15th at the United Church Hall, 450 Okanagan Ave. SE in Salmon Arm. Published by Shuswap Press, Big Trees Saved documents the highlights of the twenty-� ve year history of the Shuswap’s major environmental organization.Over the years SEAS’s hard work and dedication has resulted in 25,000 hectares of new parks in the Shuswap, including the Upper Seymour River rainforest, and the magni� cent Anstey Arm Hunakwa Lake wilderness area. Further, thousands of hectares of old growth forest were set aside, and forest management was vastly improved, leading to better protection for non-timber forest values.In 2008 SEAS rallied to stop West Beach, a

proposed marina and condominium development, from being built at the mouth of the Adams, one of the most signi� cant sockeye salmon spawning rivers in the world. Even though the provincial government failed to purchase the property to add to Roderick Haig-Brown Park, as SEAS had hoped, the new Cottonwoods Campground includes public access to the beach, removal of buoys, a continuation of RV parking with no condominiums, and restoration of important � sh habitat.First SEAS changed the map of the Shuswap through the creation of new parks, and then in 2010 it helped produce the � rst map of the Shuswap watershed in a poster format.Praise for Big Trees Saved is already coming in. Here is what famed author and columnist Stephen Hume wrote, “Engaged, activist citizens are the heartbeat of every healthy democracy. In that sense, the 25-year story of the Shuswap Environmental Action Society is the story of us -- the story of who we are and who we can be -- and Big Trees Saved is a book that anyone who cares about where we live will want on their bookshelf.”The Big Trees Saved book launch will be celebratory affair with live music, a multi-media presentation, speakers including Deanna, refreshments, and of course books for sale. The musical entertainment will be by singer/songwriter and recording artist Sylvain Vallee on keyboards, who will perform a number of songs with an environmental message, including Pipeline, the reggae protest song about the proposed Northern Gateway tar sands pipeline.After the launch, Big Trees Saved will be on sale in stores throughout the region, including the Salmon Observer Of� ce, the Super Valu in Scotch Creek and the Enderby Museum. For more information about the book launch or the book, visit www. seas.ca or phone 832-8569 or 679-3693. The 124-page book will sell for $20 and can also be purchased online, at www.shuswappress.ca.

Author Sean Arthur Joyce began looking into his family tree.

What began as a sim-ple search turned into a discovery that shocked him and provided fod-der for a new book – Laying the Children’s Ghosts to Rest – Cana-da’s Home Children in the West.

Joyce says his father had always wondered why his grandfather, Cyril William Joyce had arrived in Canada at the age of 16, pointing out it wasn’t like him to do something so adven-turous.

In 2007, Joyce began delving seriously into the mystery, discover-ing his grandfather had been sponsored for emigration to Canada in 1926 by the Church of England.

Between 1869 and 1949, more than 100,000 children were rounded up from the streets of Britain to be used as labourers in Canada. Other children were sent to Australia and New Zealand.

“Today there are four million or more descen-dants of what were deri-sively known as ‘home

children,’” says Joyce. “A small number died in ‘care’ but the reality for most was brutally hard work and being treated basically like an alien, not allowed to play with other kids and not allowed to be educated, which was contrary to the contract the farmers had signed.”

A journalist for 25 years, Joyce had al-ready written two books on the history of the West Kootenay region.

“Many of the families I met are only just dis-covering that they had home children,” he says, noting that because the children were at the bot-tom of the social hierar-

chy, they were treated as third-class citizens. “So there was shame at-tached, so the first thing they wanted to do was become invisible.”

But the next genera-tion wants to know the story.

“Even though there was a stigma attached then, we don’t care,” he says. “Everywhere I go, I meet descendants of home children… the interest in this is just ex-ploding.”

A special voice in Joyce’s book is his “cover girl,” Irene Gladys, whose picture is on the front of his book and whose daugh-ter Irene Campbell is a Salmon Arm resident and will be at his pre-sentation.

“It made me real-ize that despite our all-publicized reputation for being ‘goody two shoes,’ like any other country, we have our shadow side,” he says, of this bit of mostly un-known national history. “I don’t condone it, but it is part of human na-ture.”

Joyce will speak about his book and its families at Okanagan College at 7 p.m. Thurs-day, Oct. 23.

As dusk falls on the village, strange shad-ows and ghostly figures appear and the spell-casting magic begins.

Pull out your spooky costumes and explore the eerie side of R.J. Haney Heritage Village and Museum’s 20th Annual “Spooktacular” Saturday, Oct. 25 and Oct. 26.

Children and the faint-hearted can wan-der the not-so-scary “Story Book Path,” sponsored by the Linda Howarth Memorial Pre-school.

When you’re ready for a break, visit the fire pit to warm up and en-joy hot chocolate or rest your brooms and visit the colouring room and have your face painted, make a fun Haney craft or colour a picture to take home.

You don’t want to

miss the haunting and ghastly stories in Mt. Ida Church, which has been transformed for “Stories from the Crypt.”

Wander through the sinister cemetery but beware of the Grim Reaper, skeletons,

witches and other frightening ghouls – you never know what super natural spirits or apparitions will appear.

Wondering what your future holds? Visit the Mystical Fortune Teller. If you are feeling a bit under the weather, an

appointment with the Menacing Mad Sci-entist and a diagnosis in the electric chair is sure to make you scream. Test your skills of chance at the “Spell Casting Midway” you never know what you might unearth.

Stroll down Front Street and view the chilling displays on the way to the Fraser Av-enue Haunted House. Beware of the mayhem that awaits you. The house is the gate-way to the Spook Trail for a spine-tingling journey through the forest.

Gates open at 5 p.m. and admission is $6 per person. For more information call 250-832-5243 or visit www.salmonarmmuseum.org. Ghosts and ghouls under the age of 16 must be accompanied by an adult over 21.

Time to howl at Haney

Scream scene: Only the brave should venture out on the Spook Trail at R.J. Haney’s Spooktacular Oct. 25 and 26.

Dave Wallensteen, Funeral Director

Carol passed away at Bastion Place in Salmon Arm, BC, with her family by her side, after a courageous battle with cancer. She is survived by her daughter Melanie (Kael) Smith and daughter Rheanna Pudsey, grandchildren Caroline Pudsey, Skylar Pudsey, Michael Alexander and Chloe Smith as well as by her Kitty Cat Chloe.

Carol was born in Toronto, ON and after various locales, landed permanently in Salmon Arm 34 years ago. She earned her GED and graduated with a degree in Horticulture in 1989. She enjoyed nothing more than spending time in her garden. Carol also took pride in raising her grandchildren, Caroline and Skylar, being a loving and devoted Mother and caring for others. Those that knew her saw that she gave back at every opportunity.

A Celebration of Life will be held at the Five Corners Pentecostal Church at 3160 10th Ave SE, Salmon Arm BC on October 18th, 2014 at 2 pm with food and refreshments to follow.
