Riding remains Conservativenorth Okanagan-Shuswap has retained
Tory blue while liberal red has coloured the rest of the country.
newcomer Mel Arnold handily captured the riding as conservative candidate Mon-day, winning 27,490 votes or 39.3 per cent. That was followed by liberal cindy derkaz at 20,951 or 30 per cent, Jacqui Gingras, with the ndP, at 17,903 or 25.6 per cent, and Green chris George at 3,609 or 5.2 per cent.
“This is terrific,” said Arnold, a Salmon Arm businessman who takes over from re-tiring colin Mayes.
“It’s been a hard-fought bat-tle, I want to congratulate all the candidates. And no matter how they voted, I’m here to represent this riding.”
With the conservatives in opposition nationally, Arnold will be in the back benches.
“It will make us work a little bit harder,” he said, noting that he will lobby the new liberal government for funding for lo-cal projects.
“And I will be available to the public as soon as we have our doors open to the office.”
nationally, the liberals won 184 seats compared to 99 for the conservatives, 44 for the ndP, 10 seats for the Bloc Quebe-cois and one Green.
derkaz is pleased with her second-place finish in north Okanagan-Shuswap.
“I would have liked to have won but it was amazing,” said the retired lawyer.
While some opinion polls had the ndP taking north Okanagan-Shuswap, derkaz believes many residents saw the liberals as the best route to challenge the conserva-tives.
“People had a huge attitude for change from the Harper government,” she said.
In terms of the liberal victory nationally, derkaz said, “It’s a tremendously clear mes-sage that we want change as a country and we picked the liberals to put that change into effect.”
While other parties questioned Justin Trudeau’s ability to be prime minister,
derkaz says they will be proven wrong as Trudeau takes the reins of power.
“I always thought Justin was ready, that’s why I threw my life into chaos. He’s an amazing leader,” she said.
Gingras, a university professor, admits she was disappointed by the election results.
“They’re not what I hoped for but I re-spect their choice,” she said of voters.
“It’s been a very positive campaign and I met so many great people.”
Gingras wouldn’t speculate on why the ndP didn’t win locally.
“That’s something we will have to dwell on. I respect the decision of community members and this is only the start for us.”
She isn’t sure why the party went from official opposition status na-tionally to third place.
“like any campaign, there are ebbs and flows. People were motivated to have Harper out,” she said.
George anticipated a fourth-place finish for the Greens in north Okanagan-Shuswap.
“I would have preferred a minority government nation-ally because it’s good for cana-dians. It (liberals) is going to be a change but whether it’s the change we’re looking for, that remains to be seen.”
George believes Arnold’s new term as MP could be challenging.
“He will be a backbencher and that doesn’t contribute much to the conversa-tion.”
Tensions were high in conservative Mel Arnold’s campaign office in Vernon Mon-day evening as a sea of red swept canada.
“It disappoints me of course, I would’ve liked to have seen a stronger showing from my counterparts in the east,” said new MP Arnold.
Retiring MP colin Mayes felt a few tugs on his heartstrings as he watched the results roll in.
“I’ve seen a number of my colleagues that I worked with that didn’t get re-elected and I’m sad for them,” said Mayes, as his government collapsed. “I feel we did a good job as a government and obviously people wanted a change.”
Mayes was a little taken aback to see the
orange crushed. “I think the biggest surprise is the collapse
of the ndP support; they were front runners and then all of a sudden people realized.
“I hope this means the death of socialism
in this country.”In north Okanagan-Shuswap, 69,953 of
96,243 registered electors cast ballots, or 72.68 per cent (that does not include elec-tors who registered on election day).

A2 www.saobserver.net Wednesday, October 21, 2015 Salmon Arm Observer
Liberals celebrate, NDP wonders what went wrong
It looked like a party – and it was.
Inside Liberal candidate Cindy Derkaz’s campaign office in the old courthouse, a celebration is in full, boisterous swing.
It’s 8:30 p.m. Some 50 campaign workers and supporters are jubilant about the Liberal sweep that began in the Maritimes several hours ear-lier.
More supporters are streaming through the door, taking the noise level to new heights.
Thrilled with the national result, former Okanagan College dean Lynda Wilson says strategic voting means the candidate from the gov-erning party usually becomes the MP for the riding.
“I am thrilled to have a govern-ment that represents the values that Canadians hold dear, but I think strategic voting should be removed from the process,” she says of the local results.
Environmentalist/historian Jim Cooperman is more blunt.
“I am ecstatic that the tyrant that has been running Canada is gone, but I am disappointed that this rid-ing did not choose the best candi-date and environmental lawyer and community advocate.”
Derkaz enters the campaign of-fice to loud, sustained applause, cheers and whistles. Enthusiastic clapping continues for at least two full minutes as Derkaz greets ev-eryone in the room with a hug.
The sound is turned up and at-tention turns to outgoing prime minister Stephen Harper’s tele-vised speech, which elicits a few loud complaints.
Harper forgotten, animated con-versation continues and even more people stream through the door to share in the celebration.
Handed a glass of appropriately red wine, Derkaz says the local re-sult is much less important to her than the “fabulous” results nation-ally.
“They went to the Liberal party in droves for change and that is wonderful, because we will be re-joining the world,” she said. “We’ll be in Paris in December to start tackling climate change, we will rejoin the international community, we will have a prime minister who will sit down with the premiers to make things work – things like health care and to build a new re-lationship and partnership with our First Nations.”
Asked if she will take up the Liberal charge in the next election, Derkaz doesn’t commit.
“I’ve got four years to think about it,” she says with a wide grin,
acknowledging the energy and ex-citement of the team that supported her.
Over at the Salmon Arm office of NDP candidate Jacqui Gingras on Ross Street, things are much quiet-er. Gingras is in Vernon, spending the latter part of the evening with supporters there.
About half a dozen Salmon Arm supporters sit watching the TV as the New Democrats drop from their all-time high of 103 seats in 2011 under then-leader Jack Lay-ton to 44 seats in this election.
Added to the disappointment is Gingras’ standing in the polls, with the final tally showing her receiv-ing 26 per cent of the vote, a third-place finish, to winner Conserva-tive Mel Arnold’s 39 per cent and Derkaz’s 30 per cent.
Long-time NDP supporter Bill Eaton expresses his surprise and disappointment.
“We felt Cindy and Jacqui would probably be the leading candidates in this riding. We’re surprised to see the Conservatives doing so well.”
Regarding national results, he said: “I think people are just vot-ing for the best chance of defeat-ing Harper. It’s definitely strategic voting. People are so upset with Harper.”
A few doors down at Mel Ar-nold’s campaign office, about six
supporters sit in a back room with an abundance of snacks on the ta-ble as they watch results on televi-sion roll in. Like Gingras, Arnold is spending the evening in Vernon.
Although the Conservatives are dropping nationally from 166 seats in 2011 to 99, the atmosphere at the Salmon Arm office is more jubilant than next door. Their can-didate is leading.
When Arnold is declared the winner, the group cheers.
“I’m happy,” says supporter Al Schalm. Regarding national re-sults: “Trudeau is going to have to grow up awfully fast.”
Supporter Jordan Ross attributes some of Arnold’s success to his early start campaigning.
“He started the process early, got people on the ground and or-ganized quickly.”
Nationally, Ross says the Con-servative loss is not unexpected, but the Liberal majority is a shock.
Standing ovation: Liberal candidate Cindy Derkaz is wel-comed to her Salmon Arm office to rounds of applause after a Liberal majority was declared on Monday, Oct. 19.

For Mahalia Meeu-wsen and her husband Mike, having a baby would be a miracle.
But instead of one miracle, the Salmon Arm couple got three.
Meeuwsen, 42, is 30 weeks pregnant with identical triplet girls – conceived naturally without the use of any fertility treatments.
Doctors say that only one in every 50 million births result in identical triplets.
“To look on the ultra-sound and see the three of them growing, to see their hearts beating, it is simply amazing,” says the mom-to-be. “And to know how rare this is, it’s staggering.”
Meeuwsen says the babies, which range between two and three pounds, all appear healthy and growing.
“There are so many complications and so many worries, and yet every appointment we’ve heard nothing but good news, so my plan is to just try and stay calm and each day they grow a little bit more,” says Meeuwsen.
Doctors are hoping the triplets will con-tinue to grow in their mother’s womb until a planned C-section on Nov. 16, when they will be at 34 weeks gesta-tion. A normal singleton pregnancy is 40 weeks in duration.
When Mahalia and Mike were married in 2005, they both wanted to become parents. In 2011, they visited a fer-tility clinic in Kelowna, hoping to pinpoint the cause of the infertility.
“They really found nothing. It was simply termed unexplained in-fertility. We looked at
options like in-vitro, but we decided not to go that route.”
A month later, Meeu-wsen found herself pregnant, but at an ul-trasound a month later, there was no heartbeat.
“That was devastat-ing to us, but at that point we just decided we were not going to be parents and were going to love our furry-kids, our English bulldog, and that would be that.”
But in April, Meeu-wsen was experiencing some unusual symp-toms which she chalked up to early menopause – until she got a call from her doctor informing her she was pregnant.
“I thought I was too old, so it was pretty shocking.”
The shock increased when an ultrasound revealed what they thought was twins.
But two weeks later, the shock multiplied.
“I had another ultra-sound and the tech goes, ‘there’s a heartbeat here, and here and here.’ And I thought he was joking. But he showed me — and there they all were. I was dizzy.”
When they brought her husband in for the news, they propped him up between the bed and the wall.
“They figured he’d need something to lean on,” Meeuwsen laughs.
Meeuwsen is be-ing closely monitored, having gone through extensive testing on the triplets at BC Children’s Hospital, through her obstetrician in Kam-loops and with Dr. Kim Grieve, her family phy-sician.
Already looking like she is full-term, Meeu-wsen rubs her belly as she feels the babies move and wonders just how big it can get.
“It’s uncomfortable and I’m really slowing down now, but I know every day they are in there growing is a good day,” she says.
“We are so excited and we know we are go-ing to be so busy, but it’s hard to wrap your mind around it,” Meeuwsen says as she sits on the couch of the couple’s townhouse, waving her hand at the recently purchased $1,500 trip-let stroller. “Just look at that stroller. It’s like a train.”
With few family members close by, it’s going to be a heavy load for the couple, espe-cially through the haze of feeding, bathing, diapering and caring for three infants. She will tell them apart by put-ting a different colour nail polish on their toes.
As a first-time mom, Meeuwsen is trying to also get a handle on just how much gear three pre-term newborns are going to require. While the couple has a stroller, three baby seats and two swings, they would ap-preciate help with sup-plies, including diapers, wipes, bottles, receiving blankets or clothing.
Another daunting prospect is the knowl-edge that her babies will all have extended stays in the neonatal inten-sive care unit, hopefully in Kamloops. But that also comes with sig-nificant costs. In order to be close, nurse and care for the babies, the new parents will need to stay near the hospi-tal; however, there are no options other than hotels. This will involve a major outlay of funds, as doctors have told them to expect that one or more of the babies would likely be in the hospital until close to
Christmas. To help, Meeuwsen’s
employer, CIBC, is set-ting up a donation sta-tion in the bank branch, where people can drop off supplies, gift cards or donations. As well, a GoFund Me account has been set up under the name Mahalia and Mike’s 3 Miracles.
This is the link: https://www.gofundme.com/j56q2jfg.
“I’m not really a per-son who likes to ask for help, but with three ba-bies on the way, people keep telling me I need to throw that out the window,” she says.
Couple prepares for ‘miracle’ tripletsPregnancy: Doctors say the odds are one in 50 million.By Tracy HughesOBSERVER STAFF
Fundraising campaign: Mike and Mahalia Meeuwsen are trying to prepare for the early arrival of three identical baby girls, but the costs of supplies and an extended stay near the hospital will be significant. Donations can be dropped off at the Salmon Arm CIBC bank branch or through a GoFund Me account.

Residents will get a chance to weigh in on dogs and the Foreshore Trail in the near future.
SABNES, or the Nature Bay Society, came to the city’s plan-ning meeting Monday to request that the city change the bylaw gov-erning the Foreshore/Raven Trail from allow-ing dogs on a leash in the custody of owners, to prohibiting dogs al-together.
President Janet Ait-ken said she knows the city values the trail and it’s a big draw for tour-ism. She said SABNES has put up signs prohib-iting dogs, but “techni-cally we’re not one of those parks where no dogs are permitted.”
Tom Brighouse noted that SABNES members have spent more than 25 years courteously discouraging people from bringing dogs to the wildlife sanctuary,
and the area has been widely publicized as a mecca for naturalists.
He gave a number of examples where dogs have threatened or would threaten wildlife, such as the many spe-cies of birds including short-eared owls and three types of grebe that nest on the ground with-in a few feet of the trail.
Peter Robertson, a resident who lives near the trail, said what’s be-ing asked is contrary to the wider interests of the public, and ev-eryone should have free access to the trail. He said he supports SABNES and suggests the group could build a fence along the trail to be more effective.
He said SABNES has been misleading the public with its signs, and “I’ve seen large burly men confront my wife on the trail” re-garding her dog.
Coun. Ken Jamieson said he appreciates both
sides of the issue, and doesn’t want to see the good name or volunteer work of SABNES in any way tarnished.
“They do terrific work and have done so for three decades.”
Coun. Alan Harrison said council needs to come up with a process
and can’t ignore the is-sue. He suggested gath-ering public input at an upcoming meeting and leaving the signs where they are for now.
Council agreed to discuss a date for the meeting and then let the public know once it’s decided.
Trail bylaw change wantedForeshore: SABNES would like dogs prohibited.

PUBLIC INPUT: Neighbourhood Concerns Regarding RV ParkingThe City of Salmon Arm is requesting public comments regarding the parking of recreational vehicles (RVs), related City Bylaw regulations, and the enforcement of those regulations. The term “RV” generally includes travel trailers, motor-homes, campers, boats, and other similar vehicles.
Background: The City receives periodic complaints from those who are concerned about RVs parked within their residential neighbourhoods. The parking of RVs anywhere within the front yard of a lot (including driveways within a front yard), and along public boulevards is contrary to the City’s Traffic Bylaw and Zoning Bylaw. A related concern for the City is the growing trend of unauthorized works within public boulevards to create RV parking space (e.g. retaining wall construction, the laying of hard surfaced material and landscaping, and other structural trespasses). The City also recognizes that many RV owners wish to continue parking their RVs in their driveways.
City Council has requested a review of the related Bylaw regulations and is seeking public input regarding this matter. Those interested in commenting are requested to forward written correspondence to City Hall by Friday, October 23, 2015. E-mail to [email protected], fax to 250-803-4041, mail to Box 40, Salmon Arm, B.C. V1E 4N2, or drop off your letter at City Hall, 500 - 2 Avenue N.E. For more information please contact Chris Larson at 250-803-4051.

A criminal charge of driving causing death against an Arm-strong man, relating to a March 2013 accident that claimed the lives of three individuals, has been dropped.
The trial for Brandon James Kenneth Mc-Gregor, born in 1991, was to have started in Vernon Supreme Court Monday.
“Crown ultimately concluded the evidence wasn’t sufficient to meet our charge assess-ment standard to con-tinue the prosecution,” said Neil MacKenzie, Criminal Justice Branch spokesperson.
Shortly before 2 p.m.
on March 31, 2013, Mc-Gregor was driving his Chevy Silverado truck 11 kilometres south of Vernon on Highway 97 when it crossed the centre line, colliding with a Volvo driven by a Salmon Arm man.
McGregor’s passen-ger, Eric David Alex-ander Robinson, 19, of Armstrong, and the driver of the Volvo, Al-lan Arthur Allport, 70, of Salmon Arm, died at the scene.
Allport’s wife, Fay, 67, survived the crash but died in Kelowna General Hospital the next day.
The coroner reported that a police reconstruc-tionist determined the speed of the truck was
between 78 and 94 kilo-metres per hour (posted speed limit is 90 km/h) and the speed of the Volvo was between 44 and 55 km/h. Allport had slowed down and pulled over toward the side of the road in an effort to avoid being struck by the pickup.
McGregor did not suffer any serious inju-ries.
Both airbags de-ployed and all four oc-cupants were wearing seatbelts.
MacKenzie said medical issues may have been why the truck crossed the centre line, but did not elabo-rate for privacy reasons.
“This was a colli-sion that occurred when
the vehicle driven by McGregor crossed the centre line and collided with a vehicle travelling in the opposite direction with what were clearly extremely tragic re-sults,” said MacKenzie.
“The circumstances didn’t establish any oth-er erratic driving on Mr. McGregor’s part prior to the collision. There was additional evidence provided to Crown and, on the basis of that, Crown concluded it wasn’t possible to attri-bute erratic driving and crossing the centre line to any criminal conduct on his part.”
The families involved with the case have been notified of the Crown’s decision.
Charge dropped in fatal crashBy Roger KnoxBLACK PRESS
Student injured in collision with car
A male Shuswap Middle School student sustained minor injuries after being hit by a car at or near a crosswalk on 30th Street SE on Monday afternoon.
“Police believe at this time that a moment of inattention on the part of the pedestrian was the major causal factor in the incident,” re-ports Staff Sgt. Scott West of the Salmon Arm RCMP.
“Through the witness accounts the RCMP investigators were able to determine that the speed on the part of the vehicle was not a con-tributing factor in the collision and the driver was paying attention while adhering to the school zone speed limits.”
The incident took place at 2:30 p.m., shortly after school dismissal on Oct. 19. A message to parents
from Shuswap Middle School ac-knowledged the incident and noted the student will be all right.
“Parents, please talk to your chil-dren about making eye contact with drivers before they cross. As well, drivers please be very cautious when traveling through a school zone. Teachers will also be talk-ing to all of their students remind-ing them to be careful and cautious when crossing a cross walk,” read the statement.
West reports the emergency per-sonnel were relived the youth will be OK.
“We would also like to thank the witnesses for remaining in the area and providing their account of what they saw happen. Their account was instrumental in determining what actually occurred.”

Editorial
One of the most interesting ramifications of the election of the Liberals to a majority gov-ernment is the pledge made by Prime Minister-elect Justin Trudeau to consider election reform.
The first-past-the-post system has a major flaw in that the leading party can form a major-ity government without holding a majority of the popular vote – a situation where more Canadians actually voted against the leader’s party than for it.
This advantage represents a serious problem for the health of our democracy. A majority government wields a lot of power and since the a majority government controls the bulk of the
seats in Parliament, that party is able to pass legislation it likes virtually unchecked.
There are many formulations that could be considered in achieving reform, but whether it is a preferential ballot ranking choices, single transferable vote or proportional representa-tion, each would help alleviate the concern that the will of Canadian voters would be expressed in the House of Commons.
What remains to be seen is whether Trudeau will move ahead with reforming Canada’s elections system – a system which just helped propel him to a stunning majority victory. After all, it’s easy to be a critic of the system when you aren’t the one benefitting from it.
Will election reform stay on the agenda?
Strategy didn’t pay offAs the push for strategic voting went, it was pretty much
an epic fail. For days, those feeling the pressure of the ABC (Anyone
but Conservative) camp, the message was flying around fast and furious. If you want to defeat the Conservatives in this riding, the best choice of vote was Jacqui Gingras of the NDP.
LeadNow and OraclePoll came out in support of her, after polling showed her with a slight edge over blue-team mem-ber Mel Arnold. As I previously stated, I take my serving of polling data with a grain of salt. It seems North Okanagan-Shuswap voters added a hefty helping of skepticism to their interpretation of polling data.
Indeed it was the poll commissioned by the Liberals them-selves that produced the truest results, despite a number of groups criticizing its methodology. It showed a split between the NDP and Liberals in second and third place, with Arnold waltzing up the middle to take the prize. (That poll projected Arnold would have 38 per cent support of the electorate. The final number is pegged at 39 per cent.)
I personally believe that disillusioned Conservative voters simply couldn’t stomach the extreme move to the left that voting NDP would have required, being much more comfort-able voting for the more moderate Liberal red.
It was not quite enough to push Cindy Derkaz over the top, but she posted a better Liberal return in this riding than ever before. And the consolation prize of a stunning Liberal ma-jority was clearly balm for Derkaz’s personal loss at the polls. (You could not help but appreciate Derkaz’s enthusiastic, ear-to-ear grin when news broke of a Liberal victory on the na-tional stage.)
The left-leaning voters did split the numbers, with more people casting ballots against Arnold than for him. Add up the Liberal and NDP votes and Arnold would have been out in the cold. But that voting scenario likely would have re-quired either Gingras or Derkaz to drop out of the race and endorse the other. That was simply not going to happen.
It’s been a while, but this riding now becomes opposition turf. As an inexperienced opposition MP, it will be a chal-lenge for Arnold to advance any of his election promises made to local voters.
If Colin Mayes, as a backbench MP for a governing party, ended up being a small fish in a big pond, imagine where Arnold’s going to be in the House of Commons. A minnow swimming in the Red Sea, perhaps?
That being said, it may give Arnold a chance to become closer to the needs and issues of his local constituents, to help them with their personal concerns with government bureau-cracy, and to keep to the open-door policy he referred to in his post-election comments. Say what you want about the Con-servatives, Arnold seems like a nice man with good inten-tions. We wish him well in serving the people of our riding.

View PointThe Observer asked: Which race are you paying more attention to – the Blue Jays or the federal election?
Dana Root “The federal election because there is more to talk about.”
Iris Pearson “The election, I’m hoping for a big change, but I am also rooting for the Jays.”
Tara Jones “I’ve been watching the election more because it is a lot more important.”
Steve McNair “The Blue Jays. I don’t have much interest in politics.”
Alex Preston “To be honest, the Jays because they are a lot more exciting to watch.”
An open letter to Premier Christy Clark:
Thank you for your re-sponse to my letter this past summer.
In your reply, you outlined what the province of B.C. is doing to protect us from an in-festation of zebra and quagga mussels. None of this was new information and, all together, it is still not enough. You did recognize that “there is still work to be done.” I couldn’t agree more. With the expertise
gained from a year of full-time research on this issue, I again urge you to act immediately and decisively.
Saskatchewan is doing practically nothing. Alberta has mandatory inspections at their Eastern border, but those inspections only run during regular working hours.
A very real scenario still ex-ists where a contaminated boat could cross through Alberta after the inspectors have gone home for the day, slip past one
of B.C.’s “roving” teams, and launch in our waters. Until such time as this perimeter defence is fully in place, you must have an unbroken wall at our border.
The only acceptable system for protecting our province is stopping and inspecting 100 per cent of boats before they enter our province.
When can we expect to see that in place?

As the dust settles from Monday’s federal election, to paraphrase former prime minister Kim Campbell, it’s time to talk about serious issues again.
The Conservatives were hoping to make 2015 a free trade election, by signing onto the world’s largest trade deal at the end of July. But things didn’t go as planned at the talks in Maui, and Canada was among the players that walked away from the Trans-Pacific Partnership table at that time.
Then came five days of round-the-clock negotiations in Atlanta, with the U.S. pushing for a deal with Japan, Korea, Australia and other Pacific Rim powerhouses to normalize trade in 40 per cent of the world’s economy. And the TPP came together at the end of September.
Canada and B.C. essentially got what our governments were demanding, which was broad access to Pacific Rim markets and continued protection for nearly all of domestic dairy, poultry and egg markets. Also preserved was B.C.’s regulated market for logs and U.S. lum-ber sales.
The 200-kg gorilla of the TPP burst out in the heat of the election campaign, and the Kim Campbell rule was dem-onstrated again. Much of the discussion revolved around alleged secrecy, as the legal text of the deal won’t be out for some time to come. Protected farmers downed their pitchforks, counting their blessings, and their guaranteed com-pensation.
The NDP was forced to come out against the TPP, as it was against trade deals with the U.S., Mexico, Europe and others. But it’s getting lonely for them as the rest of the world moves on.
Within days of the TPP deal, the World Bank issued one of its periodic reports on “extreme poverty,” which it
defines as an income of less than $1.90 U.S. a day. And 2015 is the first year when fewer than 10 per cent of the world’s people remain below this glob-al poverty line, down from 12.8 per cent in 2012.
It’s easy for comfortable First World folks to protest conditions in running shoe and cell phone factories in India or China, but the graph of extreme poverty in those countries shows steep decline since 1990. Trade and technology are lifting up the poorest of the world.
For B.C., withdrawing from Pacific Rim trade is unthinkable. We worry a lot about lumber and copper and natu-ral gas, but the TPP also opens up huge markets for services, where much of our economic future awaits.
The question for us is simple. Can we compete in health sciences, engineer-ing, architecture, digital media, and in-formation technology? Do we want to?
The TPP doesn’t change B.C.’s de-pendency on the United States. As with NAFTA, our vital lumber trade remains under a separate agreement, which ex-pired on Oct. 1.
I’m told by federal and provincial of-ficials that at this stage, the U.S. isn’t even taking our calls on the softwood lumber agreement, which Canada and B.C. want extended. Americans are preoccupied with the TPP and domestic politics.
After decades of bitter legal actions from the American industry, the latest softwood deal has provided a rough peace. It set a floor price for B.C.’s al-legedly subsidized lumber exports, with an export tax collected by Canada when the price went below the floor of $355 per thousand board feet. That money went back into our government general revenue.
Higher prices meant no export tax was collected through 2014 and early 2015, and only five per cent as of Sep-tember. Now that the agreement is ex-pired, by default we have actual free trade in lumber for up to the next year.
Let’s get real about free trade deals

Possible solution to beaver conundrumIt’s about that beaver story
that ran a few weeks ago in the Salmon Arm Observer; I saw a documentary on the bea-ver problem in Quebec.
A guy discovered that bea-vers dam up anything that has
running water sounds so he put a series of metal stakes about 10 or 15 feet in front of the culvert. The beavers placed their dam material on the stakes, as that is where more of the running water sounds
were coming from – leaving the culvert unplugged. Far better than removing material every day only to be replaced at night.

I am gravely disappointed in the media coverage of the School District 83 “quiet room” debate. As an expe-rienced learning resource teacher, I am familiar with the structure and function of these calming spaces. CTV News and the Observer reported what I consider to be mislead-ing and deceitful information thereby unjustly targeting our school district staff. Here is the balance to that poor re-porting.
The quiet room at South Broadview Elementary is not “a small, windowless room meant for students who mis-behave,” as reported by CTV. Had the media bothered to check, they would have found a small room with a large win-dow in the door. Students are never left unsupervised and
the room is not used for gen-eral misbehaviour.
Rather, a quiet room can be a student choice for emotional and sensory regulation or a teacher choice for a student exhibiting violent and dan-gerous behaviour. If a student exhibiting these behaviours cannot calm, a parent will be called for early pick up. Often times, a few minutes of calm on a mat or in a bean bag chair allows the student to return to the learning environment. There is ongoing communica-tion between the supervising adult and the student in the quiet room.
The Observer reported that “there is no behavior plan or individual education plan in place yet.” All students with special needs requiring this level of support have IEPs in
place. For the Observer to re-port otherwise is misleading and untrue.
Agreed, this is a very com-plex issue. Inclusion of all learners in our schools is important. There is no pro-vincial or district solution to aggressive students in B.C. schools. We are all doing our best, working with students and parents. Your non-fact-checked, inflammatory, incor-rect reporting has the potential to set this important conversa-tion back.
In our small town, when the media singles out a school where a small team of indi-viduals is unfairly accused, the damage is great. My col-leagues deserve better. The public deserves better.

FROM THE
Archives
1925 A very enjoyable evening was spent in St. John’s new Parish Hall on Thursday evening. A good program was put on and the hat trimming contest for the men caused alot of laughter, especially when one of the ladies protested when she saw one of the contestants us-ing a hammer and a jack knife instead of a needle and thread to do his trimming.
1935 Winter is fast approaching. Snow is creeping down the hill and even on the � ats there was snow on Sunday and Monday. Just beyond Enderby on Sunday afternoon motorists ran into a blinding snowstorm which, thankfully, did not last too long.
1945 Responding nobly to the appeal, residents of Salmon Arm and district donated about three tons of used clothing for the unfortunate war victims of Europe during the drive conducted by the Kinsmen Club of Salmon Arm, in conjunction with the local branch of the Red Cross Society. The Kinsmen were in charge of collecting the clothing with almost every truck owner in Salmon Arm donating the use of their vehicles to gather the clothing donated. The Red Cross members assisted by sorting, clean-ing, mending and baling the clothing, which was then forwarded to Lethbridge where the apparel collected in Western Canada is being assembled for shipment overseas. Mr. M. Carroll aided the drive by arranging a special showing at the Rex Theatre for the children. The admission was some serviceable garment for the clothing drive, and the result added substantially to this worthy cause.
1955 With the objective of stimulat-ing interest in the nursing profession, a Future Nurses’ Club will be introduced at Salmon Arm high school this year. To be patterned after the Future Teachers Club, which has induced a num-ber of high school graduates to become teachers, the Future Nurses Club was discussed with High School principal W.H.D. Ladner at a meeting of the hospital board on Tuesday night and received unanimous approval. Hospital matron Mrs. E Clark and assistant matron Miss Gordon will work with Mrs. G. Graham, home economics teacher and girls counsellor, at the high school, to arrange a suitable program for the club.
LIFE & TIMES
A Salmon Arm man is think-ing twice about looking up into the skies.
The resident, who wishes to remain anonymous, has seen unidenti� ed � ying objects to the northeast of Salmon Arm nine times in the past year and a half.
He agreed to talk to the Ob-server after an article ran in the newspaper in August. It was about a Lower Mainland author, Rod Drown, who had noticed a report of a sighting in Gleneden on a UFO-tracking website. The article described the sighting and requested those with similar experiences to contact the author, who is writing a book on UFOs.
The Salmon Arm man has indeed had similar experi-ences, not something he had wished for and events that have left him shaken.
“It’s unnerving. It kind of changes you in a way,” he told the Observer. “You have to ex-perience a sighting.”
What he’s seen has varied, but the objects always appear to be about 30,000 to 40,000 feet in the air, in a cloudless, dark blue sky, with no birds visible.
“The � rst sighting I had was one large orb, shining, aluminum-like, with a shadow on the bottom. It was with � ve smaller orbs… They were sta-tionary, they hovered; the large one moved in and around the
other four and then came back to the original position.”
The display lasted for about three minutes, he estimates.
He explains he is ex-mili-tary, so he has knowledge of aircraft.
“There’s no aviation craft that can do what these were doing.”
Another was one large orb and two smaller ones. Another sighting involved an airplane.
“A jet was passing over and, out of the blue, an object ap-peared out of nowhere, going into the vapour trail, moved through it and, poof, just dis-appeared.”
He said the object stayed inside the vapour for about 45 seconds before coming out and vanishing.
In another sighting, the UFO was also metallic-looking, round, and seemed to be turn-ing in on itself, while at the same time streaming metallic-like material that resembled a ladder.
The � fth was particularly un-settling. He had just returned a little while earlier from a � ight overseas and was once again at home, looking to the northeast, towards Bastion Mountain.
It seemed like the UFO had been waiting for him.
“Oh God, here we go again,” is how he describes his reac-tion. “Don’t get me wrong, I get excited about it, but I think, ‘what’s next?’”
The next time a UFO was seen was similar to previous sightings.
“It was round, circular in shape, but like a cauldron of lava, it was shape shifting. It was creating something, it looked like a ladder, like alu-minum � re… All of a sudden, it went triple its own size in a circular bright light. It began moving toward me at this high altitude, it had shape-shifted into rectangular – almost like a small box but a bit rectangu-lar.”
Although he had tried before to get photos, this time he was able before it began moving to-wards him. Then he took shel-ter under his roof while it went past high above him.
“It’s been mind-changing,” he says, noting the � rst and second sightings were interest-ing, but it’s gone beyond that. “Three, four, � ve, six, seven, eight, you kind of go, what the hell’s going on here?”
Travis Mikulin from Salm-on Arm has also witnessed strange sights in the sky.
Twice during the past three years he has seen a very bright light sitting still above Mt. Ida, the � rst time for about 45 min-utes, the second time all after-noon.
“The � rst time I saw it was at night, so the light really stood out. The second time was in the daytime. The light was just as bright – that’s what really stood out for me.”
He said it might sound crazy or far-fetched, but it couldn’t have been a helicopter or any-thing similar.
“I have no explanation for
it… It really baf� ed me. The light was � oating in the air.”
Mikilun said he has heard stories about Mt. Ida from oth-er First Nations people – such as it possessing a portal to an-other dimension.
Louis Thomas knows a lot about the legends of the Sec-wepemc people. He says he’s never heard stories of UFOs.
Thomas laughs when he speaks about the Ogopogo of Okanagan Lake.
“My grandmother says that must be a sturgeon. She must have seen some so she knew what they looked like.”
He said he’s heard of Mt. Ida being home to the little people, not UFOs.
“Just a few people I’ve ever heard of have seen them up there – that was a few years ago.”
He imagines they’re similar to leprechauns.
“It seems like every country has legends similar to that.”
Thomas says he respects the mountain and the little people up there. He always suggests people do a short ceremony before going on Mt. Ida – “a simple thank you for letting me come into your territory.”

Three years ago, 90 students from South Broadview School walked down to a pond at Okanagan College, filled their buckets and trudged back up to the school.
The water was dumped into large plas-tic drums, in which the kids could see the murky liquid that is the only thing available to many people on the planet.
Now in its third year and incredibly success-ful, the idea was the brainchild of teachers Earl Dodds and Janu Smith.
On Monday, more than 600 students took part in the fundraising bucket brigade sup-ported district-wide by
the We to Me Commit-tee and other schools are planning their own water walks.
Shuswap Middle School, Sorrento, Armstrong and Silver Creek are among those schools where the idea has sparked action.
“It’s all about the greater good and it shows you that any-body can make a dif-ference,” Dodds says. “Nothing is stopping
one person from com-ing up with an idea and it’s neat for us to foster that with the kids – one of their projects will be coming up with how they can make a differ-ence.”
For the last two years, funds raised were di-rected to a village in Africa. This year a por-tion of the funds will go to a village in Ecuador, but local initiatives will also be supported.

Craft distillery planned for cityApproval: Council gives unanimous support to zoning change.
Mayor and council raised their glasses Monday to a zoning amendment that will accommodate a craft distill-ery downtown.
Gareth Jones of Jones Dis-tilling Ltd. told council at the city’s planning and develop-ment services meeting about his plan for a small scale distillery of vodka, gin and whiskey at the former Honda dealership site.
He said there’s a resurgence in craft distilleries across the province and the country, fol-lowing behind the brewing industry’s trend by about 10 years. Jones said they’re ful-filling consumers’ wishes for an organic product made and sourced locally.
Kevin Pearson, the city’s di-rector of development servic-es, explained the amendment
would add craft distillery to the C-3 zone, because cur-rently the only zoning allow-ing the use is in the industrial park. But that zone doesn’t limit the size of a distillery, and the industrial park isn’t an appropriate location for the craft distillery proposed.
Jones said his new venture will provide a tasting room which would transition into a bar area, with the plan to serve food once it’s established.
“For me, it’s all about the product,” he enthused, ex-plaining that he needs to make vodka in order to produce the gin. He’ll also produce whis-key, but it must be in a bar-rel for three years before it’s ready to be consumed.
He pointed to Okanagan Spirits in Kelowna where cus-tomers can walk in, see the products and the still at work.
Under provincial regula-tions, a craft distillery can
produce no more than 50,000 litres of product per year, and the amendment to the city’s C-3 zone will limit a distill-ery’s size to 275 square metres.
Pearson ex-plained there are about 80 prop-erties along the highway corridor zoned C-3, so the change allowing craft distilleries would apply to all of them. How-ever, structural and architectural reviews would be required in each to ensure adequate fire separation.
Jones expects he will pro-duce about half the allowed amount – 25,000 litres.
He said the craft distill-ery should evolve into a $4 to 4.5-million business, one which would provide eco-
nomic benefits to the commu-nity such as tourism synergies and complementing not com-peting with wineries.
He expects to employ 10 to 15 people depending on how the busi-ness grows.
Council was u n a n i m o u s l y supportive of the plan, asking for a few details such as whether the distillery would produce odours.
Jones said car-bon dioxide would be ex-hausted when the mash is be-ing heated, “like a furnace,” and the other product would be steam. He said it’s unlikely that an odour would be no-ticed.
A public hearing is set for Monday, Nov. 9 in council chambers.

A hotel tax is once again being considered for the Shuswap.
Shuswap Tourism’s Robin Cyr came to the city’s Oct. 19 planning and development ser-vices meeting to pro-vide information and gather input regarding the proposed tax.
She pointed to a number of tourism ini-tiatives that could ben-efit from funding.
“Vernon and Kam-loops have been knock-ing on our door wanting to do larger campaigns. But their budget is
about 10 times more than ours,” she said, also referring to the need for gateway signs, the defining and target-ing of markets, tourism business support, a new promotional video and more.
She said the applica-tion process for the tax includes development of a business plan as well as consultation with the accommoda-tion sector. Coun. Kev-in Flynn noted a hotel tax was brought up nine years ago. He said he appreciates all the work Shuswap Tourism has done with branding, brochures and other ini-
tiatives. He suggested getting a buy-in from accommodators is cru-cial, and the division of funds raised should not be predetermined.
Cyr agreed, noting she needs some kind of proposal to take to ac-commodators, and the proposal would only be a recommendation.
Coun. Louise Wal-lace-Richmond said Salmon Arm appears to be at a competitive dis-advantage, missing out on opportunities.
Coun. Chad Eliason said he would favour the hotel tax to remedy the disadvantage. He said if he were a hotel
owner, he’d be con-cerned about free rid-ers, however.
The discussion turned to bed and breakfasts, and Eliason noted there are 150 in the area, equalling 150 beds.
Coun. Alan Harri-son said he’s not op-posed to a hotel tax, but would want to ensure that money raised in Salmon Arm be spent in Salmon Arm.
Regarding timeli-ness, Cyr said she would hope to have the application done by January, but would have to complete con-sultations first.

October is Foster Family Month in B.C. – an opportunity to recognize and honour the contributions foster families make in com-munities.
As a longtime foster parent, Heather Bayes is well aware of the contributions and the need for more foster parents in the Shus-wap.
Bayes has worn many hats – past-president of the BC Federation of Foster Parents Association (BCFFPA), secretary for the provincial as-sociation, president of the Interior region and a member of the board for the local Salmon Foster Parents Asso-ciation.
And, as a foster par-ent for many years, she has � rsthand experi-ence to share.
“My husband and I have been doing this for 17 year and have had about 30 or so kids, some as short as a couple of days, oth-ers that have stayed for
years,” she says, not-ing she would have to go through her albums in order to get an exact number.
Bayes says she doesn’t foster babies or young children, usu-ally those who are over 13 years of age.
“The youngest we took in recent in years was eight and we have since adopted him,” she says. “As soon as we saw him, we knew he was ours. It was not our intent to ever adopt, not part of the plan.”
Bayes says foster parents measure suc-cess in ways that are different from the gen-eral public.
“We take them where we could � nd them; it could be as small as a child saying please and thank you who has never done it before,” she says.
“And we’ve had huge successes, kids who have made com-plex plans for their fu-ture.”
She talks of one young foster child who told the Bayes he was going to be in the mili-
tary and made his plan, followed through, was accepted into the army at 18 and is very happy.
“We’ve had others maybe not so success-ful; whatever the rea-son a child comes into foster care they are traumatized,” she says. “Some have had men-tal health, drug issues,
health issues, but the bottom line is they’re just kids, scared kids, happy kids, just kids.”
Bayes says that what many see as bad behav-iours she sees as sur-vival behaviours, ones children and youth have developed to keep themselves safe. They will hang onto behav-iours until they are ab-solutely sure they are safe, she adds.
“I have never had a kid I would classify as a bad kid,” she says.
She says the need for foster parents is always greater than the num-ber of children needing them.
“We have fewer and fewer foster parents and the average age of foster parents is going
up,” she says. “Any-body can foster – a couple, single person. Diversity is more than welcome and there’s not a typical foster. All children can ben-e� t from a good honest person.”
Foster parents need to have the ability to separate issues from the children, have to have a sense of hu-mour, be � exible.
“Sometimes it’s real-ly dark, but sometimes it’s funny,” Bayes says. “You need to know your limits, to know yourself.”
Anyone who is in-terested in becoming a foster parent may call the British Columbia Federation of Fos-ter Parents at 1-800-663-9999 or the local branch of the Ministry for Children and Fami-lies.
Foster families change lives
Anybody can foster – a couple, single person. Diversity is more than welcome and there’s not a typical foster. All children can bene� t from a good honest person.

Thirty-five years ago, George Green began his career as a grocery clerk in the dairy department of Askew’s Foods.
He retires as manager of the Uptown Askew’s at the end of October and is heading to Penticton.
“I love Salmon Arm, it’s a great place to raise kids and work for Askew’s,” says Green. “I’ve always been proud to work for them, for their giving back to the com-munity and realizing what’s good for the community is good for us.”
Green says Lloyd and Doro-
thy Askew led by example in their philanthropy, giving to all sort of causes.
“That trickled down to staff and how we were treated,” Green says. “They set the model for the rest of us.”
After several years in the dairy department, Green moved to produce where he eventually became department manager.
In 1995, Karen Angove of-fered him management of the downtown store, where he was responsible for some 60 em-ployees. In 2012, he moved up the hill to take over manage-ment of Uptown Askew’s and its 85 employees.
“They love it, it’s very unique in the industry,” says Green of how staff and shop-pers feel about the new store. “They love the wellness cen-tre, the café; it’s a great atmo-sphere to shop in and work in.”
He is grateful that both his children worked at the store when they were growing up and says lots of employees’ kids get their start there too.
“From day one, LLoyd wanted to give people full-time work – he wanted to give them a decent living,” Green says, noting Askew’s has a high percentage of full-time people compared to the indus-try norm. “It has been a great
career; I have loved the food business, the people, the whole experience.”
While he is “basically” retir-ing, Green says he will likely go stir crazy and hang out in the middle of a grocery store. As he heads out the door, Green will hand over the keys to his grocery kingdom to Heather Turner, another long-time employee.
“She’s been here for 25 years and she will do a fantas-tic job,” he says enthusiasti-cally. “She’s been our health and wellness buyer and natu-ral foods buyer, so it’s only a natural progression for her to be store manager.”
Longtime Askew’s manager heads south
Farewell: Uptown Askew’s store manager George Green is retiring after working at Askew’s for 35 years.

Tarnows blends with TanglesTarnows Hair & Day Spa has relocated from Centenoka Mall and has joined its counterpart in the Mall at Piccadilly, Tangles Salon. Tarnows officially closed its doors on Oct. 15. “All the stylists are over at Tangles Salon now. We’re no longer esthetics, just facial waxing and hair,” said assistant manager Alli Nash, explaining Tangles does hair styling, eyebrows and faces, but no body waxing.Tangles is open Monday to Thursday and Saturday, 9 a.m. to 5:30 p.m., Friday 9 to 9 and Sunday, 11 to 4.
Add some sparkleTaylor Thiessen, a former esthetician at Tar-nows, has opened her own business downtown, Shuswap Sparkles, at 250 Alexander St. NE, with Kirstie Lowe. They are focusing on gel nails, waxing and tinting. Along with nails, “we do full waxing – legs, arms and facial waxing but no body wraps, no massage, no facials,” Thiessen says.

The North Canoe Hall is sold, but the community will have to wait and see what the plans are for the property.
John Lund, a direc-tor of the North Canoe Community Associa-tion, told the Observer the hall has been sold to a private citizen for a purchase price of $50,000. He would not comment on the identity of the owner or what the plans might be for the site. The new owner will take posses-sion of the property in November.
Lund says the pro-ceeds from the sale of the hall, after expenses, will be donated to vari-ous local groups.
He says the associa-tion has already deter-mined that $15,000 of
the proceeds will be donated in $500 in-crements to 30 needy families in the area: six families in Canoe, seven in Silver Creek and the remaining 17 in Salmon Arm.
“These are all good, hard-working people who are having a tough time making a go. The idea is to be sure they have a good Christ-mas,” said Lund.
Another $10,000 has been earmarked for the Shuswap Hospital
Foundation, donated on behalf of the citi-zens of Canoe.
“The hospital works for us all,” said Lund.
Lund says he will be reimbursed for his expense of $4,885 to pay for the various out-standing bills related to the hall including taxes, utilities and legal fees associated with the sale.
He says the remain-ing funds will be held by the association un-til all the tax and legal financial implications are determined, at which point they will be dispersed to local charities or people in need.
The hall was sold on a land-only basis, as the hall itself was de-termined so be so run-down that Lund says the estimated cost to bring it up to code was $250,000.

Elder abuse comes in many forms and, as the percentage of seniors increases, so too do the op-portunities for abuse.
With federal funding in hand, Immigration Services Shuswap will study the problem in the Shuswap.
The program will launch at Deo Lutheran Church Saturday, with a forum intended to raise community awareness of exploitation and abuse of seniors who are vulnerable to abuse as a result of infirmity, isolation or lost independence.
Immigrant Services program manager Jerre Pa-quette will collaborate with seniors’ community groups, non-profits and charities to increase the Shuswap community’s ability to recognize abu-sive practices, help seniors access appropriate support services and integrate isolated seniors into the community.
The forum will include presenters from the RCMP, the church, and the Immigration Ser-vices Shuswap banking, Interior Health.
Following brief pre-sentations, considerable time will be made avail-able for participating elders and family mem-bers to voice their spe-cific concerns and ask questions.
Following the forum, a series of 10 small group conversations held over several weeks and led by senior volun-teers, will enable people to tell their stories and share their concerns in a non-threatening environ-ment.
“All I want is seniors to be in a position to take charge of their own situation; they become silent, lose independence and we make assumptions about them,” says Paquette, noting the subject is a touchy one that many people and organizations don’t want to talk about.
Paquette says, “We know it’s here and we need to provide them (seniors) with a safe environment in which to voice their observations and fears.”
The forum runs from 1 to 4 p.m. on Saturday, Oct. 24 at the Deo Lutheran Church 1801 - 30th St. NE. Conversations will result in the produc-tion of a number of brochures and resource book-lets made available to the Shuswap community.
For specific inquiries, or to offer your participa-tion, send an email to [email protected], or phone 250-275-4984 to speak with Jerre Paquette.

Last Friday, on a cold and slippery night at the SASCU Sports Field at Little Mountain, the Rutland Voodoos emerged victorious against the Golds.
Neither the Golds or the Voodoos could get their offences rolling, in large part to each other’s strong defensive play.
The Golds’ Tyson Qiodravu picked up a 20-yard interception in the first half against the Voodoos’ quarterback Elias Gerring.
The Golds were able to march down the field but were turned back.
On the Voodoos’ next possession, Alex Craw-ford caused a fumble from he Rutland run-ning back, which al-lowed Jase Robert to pick up the loose ball and scamper into the
end zone for the game’s first major.
On the ensuing kick-off, Caiden Holmes forced the Rutland punt returner into the end zone giving the Golds a safety and opening up a 8-0 lead before the sec-ond half.
Rutland cut the lead, when Jonas Gerring put the Voodoos on the board before halftime with a 25-yard field goal to make it 8-3.
The score held un-til the fourth quarter when Matt Klak broke free for an eight-yard touchdown run to put the Voodoos on top by a single point.
The Golds marched down the field on the last possession of the game, but came up short when Rutland’s Tyson Sigler intercept-ed Kevin Schmidt’s hail Mary pass.
The Golds’ defence
was led by Crawford and Mark Podschadlly, both Grade 11 students, with 13 and 12 tackles respectively.
The Golds head down to the Coast to face the only other team in the
division without a win, the West Vancouver Highlanders on Friday.
On Oct. 30, the Golds will play their next home game at the Sul-livan Campus to the Ar-gyle Pipers at 2 p.m.
The Golds will round out their regular sea-son in BC High school Football’s AAA Var-sity’s Pacific Division against Handsworth on Friday, Nov. 6 at Sul-livan.

Jr. Bantams tickled pink in winAfter a week away
from the gridiron, the Salmon Arm Junior Bantam Chargers re-turned to the field with a bang Sunday.
The Chargers donned pink socks to support the Breast Cancer Awareness campaign on their way to a convincing 48-0 win against the West Kelowna Tiger-Cats.
The Chargers started out quickly, scoring 32 points within the game’s first 14 min-utes.
The offensive player of the game was Ashly Bakema, who scored two touchdowns on the ground. The defence was led by Sam Hall, who had multiple tack-les and a blocked punt.
The Chargers will visit the third-place
Kelowna Lions for their game on Sunday.
BantamsThe Salmon Arm
Bantam Chargers suf-fered their first defeat of the season with a 28-20 loss to the West Vancouver Warriors on Sunday.
The Chargers had a hard time holding onto the ball, with two fum-bles resulting in majors for the Warriors.
While the offence struggled, the defence continued to play strong forcing their own turnovers and sacking the opposing quarterback five times.
The Chargers got their points from a 50 yard kick return by Ty-ler Chartier, followed by a two-yard plunge
into the end zone by Travis Beer on the Chargers’ very next drive. Chartier round-ed out the scoring for the Chargers with an-
other long run. The defence was led
by middle linebacker Jacob Zyri and defen-sive tackle, Gabe Wal-lace.
Next up for the Char-gers is a Sunday game against the Cowichan-Nanaimo Bombers, which will be played in South Delta.

The Silverbacks’ number one, Angus Redmond put in two first-star performances in West Kelowna and Trail, helping his team take all four points this past weekend.
Salmon Arm led 1-0 after the first, courtesy of a Marcus Mitchell goal, but the Warriors dominated the rest of the way, outshooting the Silverbacks 35-7 over the final two pe-riods.
Just over a minute into the second period, Colton Thibault got his stick on a Camer-on Trott shot from the point, deflecting it over the Warriors Stephen Heslop, doubling their lead.
Michael Winnitoy, the Silverbacks’ new-est defenceman in-creased the ’Backs lead with a long-range shot that beat Heslop.
The Silverbacks looked comfortable with a 3-0 lead, but the tables soon turned as West Kelowna’s Rylan
Yaremko scored from the blue-line.
Soon after, the War-riors Garrett Forster beat Redmond short side to get the home team within one.
The Silverbacks’ latest signing, Chase Zieky, restored the two-goal margin on a three-on-one when he had a tap-in at the side of the net, his third as a Silverback and his fourth of the season.
The Warriors cut the deficit to one when Jonathan Desbiens scored just four sec-onds into the Warriors man advantage.
With 10 minutes left in regulation, Red-mond stood tall down the stretch, making 42 saves in the game.
In Trail on Saturday evening, the Smokies ran into a hot goal-tender, as Redmond picked up where he left off the previous night, making 30 saves for his seventh win of the season.
Only 97 seconds into the game, Elijah Bar-riga scored his third of

the season giving the Silverbacks a 1-0 lead and a dream start on the road.
Both teams traded chances in the first period after Barriga’s marker, but were un-able to change the scoreline before the end of the frame.
Less than a minute into the second period, Jake Kauppila found an equalizer beating Redmond from close range, before Trott scored on a blast from the point with less than two minutes left in the period.
The third period proved to be a wild af-fair as the teams com-
bined for six goals in the final 12 minutes of the game.
’Backs assistant cap-tain Colton Thibault scored his sixth of the season, and Car-son Bolduc, Josh Blanchard and Josh Laframboise each chipped in with a goal of their own on the ’Backs way to a 6-3 win over the Smoke Eaters.
The Silverbacks now boast a 8-3-2 record and sit alone in second place in the Interior Di-vision, six points adrift Penticton and a point ahead of Vernon, with two games in hand.
The ’Backs return to
the Shaw Centre this Friday at 7 p.m. to play the Victoria Grizzlies, the Island Division’s basement dwellers.
On Sunday the Sil-verbacks will host the Cents’ at 2 p.m. for a matinee game. Follow-ing Sunday’s game, fans will be invited to skate with the ’Backs.

Brad “Caribou Legs” Firth is high on running.
His is a story that has gained wide press coverage and will be the subject of a book.
Being an elite ultra runner is his antidote to a longtime addiction to crack cocaine.
Born in Inuvik, NWT, Firth left the North and ended up on the mean streets of East Vancouver.
“I chose to go on the streets. I started experimenting with crack in 1994,” he says, pointing out he was a carpenter but became unemploy-able because of his growing lust for the drug. “I was on the streets for 20 years vigorously doing crack; I was a thief, an opportunist, I stole, manipulated situations and did whatever I could. I bartered, traded, did work for the gangs, was always on the get… like a hyena in the desert.”
A cross-country skier in his youth, Firth’s twin aunts Sharon and Shirley Firth were recently inducted into the Canadian Cross Country Hall of Fame.
Firth slept in cubby holes, churches, provincial jail (always a good place to sleep from January to April) and his running career began in back alleys, running from police or someone he had cheated on the street.
“I ran because it was easy like clicking on a switch – running in-terference or running amok,” he says with an engaging grin.
He started recovery in 1997 at the Salvation Army’s Miracle Val-ley facility in Abbotsford, but ad-mits to many relapses.
Firth left the street life in 2012 and started running after Benjy Chu, founding member of Van-couver’s Run For Change for low-income Downtown Eastsiders, en-couraged him to go the distance.
He began competitive running and was recruited by the Falcons, a group he describes as the strongest running club in Canada.
Firth told Chu he wanted to re-turn to the Arctic and began com-pleting progressively longer train-ing runs.
But they came to an end when he was sideswiped by a semi-trailer in Hope, which left him with a shat-tered elbow and injuries to his chin and legs, including a large gash on the sole of his foot.
It took four months of healing before Firth was ready to run and in 2013, he headed north and did a 750-kilometre Health and Well-ness run from Fort Smith to Yel-lowknife in 10 days.
A guest of the NWT govern-ment, Firth had 30 speaking en-gagements at schools.
“It was my � rst kick at public
speaking and I found out that is where I belong,” he says. “You need an audience to tell your story and I found it, it’s part of my des-tiny.”
Firth stayed in the North for a few months, running to several communities on the ice road telling his story in schools, including Inu-vik to Tuktoyaktuk, a 190-km run in 40 hours in minus 50 C.”
In April 2014, Firth responded to a plea from a cousin by complet-ing a 1,200-km run from Inuvik to Whitehorse in 25 days.
“She was upset about the Peel Watershed where they were vein mining and everyone was nervous about losing the water and the � sh,” he says. “I just wanted to comfort her, to give her hope.
A mixture of Gwich’in and Denai Firth got Gwich’in sup-port, collected 5,000 protest letters and arrived to a big celebration in Whitehorse where he met Premier Darrell Pasloski.
After a two-month rest, Firth ran from Vancouver to Whitehorse to bring further attention to the Peel Watershed, ending his 3,200 jour-ney just short of the city because of a snowstorm.
“I was 78 days with no support vehicles, just a debit card and a 15-pound knapsack,” he says. “I met all kinds of supportive people who gave me free accommodation and free meals because I was run-ning for water.
In June, the now a committed en-vironmental activist, began his lon-
gest run to protest the number of boil-water advisories. Sponsored by the Council of Canadians, Firth ran 4,800 kilometres to Ottawa.
Dubbed Caribou Legs by one of his cousins, Firth will keep run-ning, but next year his focus will be on Canada’s missing and mur-dered women.
Firth has won may fans, includ-ing recent Shuswap resident Sonia Dubinsky, an author and retired so-cial worker, who specialized in ad-dictions and spent 20 years in the Western Arctic.
Dubinsky learned of Firth on Facebook and told him she’d like to write his story because of its human interest and because she thinks it will help others conquer their own addictions.
On the trail: Elite ultra runner Brad “Caribou Legs” Firth, who turned from crack cocaine to running in support of the environment will tell his story with the help of a Shuswap author.

Boudoir antics hilarious
Adult tales: Dave Wolkowski and Astrid Varnes perform the second scene from the play Bedtime Stories on opening night at the Shuswap Theatre on Friday, Oct. 16.
EVAN BUHLER/OBSERVER
Shuswap Theatre has scored a hit with Cana-dian playwright Norm Foster’s Bedtime Sto-ries.
Directed by Paul Kirkwood-Hackett, the hilarious play features 15 characters, five ac-tors and one bed.
From a clumsily in-ept stripper to sleazy radio shock jock Ed-die Nighthawk Nich-ols, a shy middle-aged couple, their wild-child teen, an aging rock star, a man meeting an unre-quited love and a pair of thieves, underneath they share a common-ality – they are looking for love and accep-tance.
Trying to move up to a more prestigious radio station, Eddie Nighthawk pays a couple $5,000 to make love on the air.
The results are hi-larious, as are several other scenes. Laugh-ter is tempered with poignant moments – a woman visits a dying man she spurned years ago.
Two thieves discover a shocking secret. An aging rock star is con-fronted by a groupie.
Like Russian nest-ing dolls, each scene uncovers another sur-prise, all of which are wrapped up beautifully in the final scene.
This is one of the better productions to appear on the Shuswap Theatre stage – some-
thing that has been happening over the past couple of years.
Longtime the-atre volunteer Randy Brogden began behind the scenes and contin-ues to provide incred-ible support in building fabulous sets.
He has appeared and grown in many produc-tions and is hysterical in his portrayal of three characters.
Laura Noakes is equally hilarious as three very different characters, as is Mike Nash as Nighthawk, Nick and Charlie.
Newcomers to Shus-wap Theatre but not to fine acting, Dave Wolkowski and Astrid
Varnes are welcome additions to the local stage.
Varnes trained as an actor at UBC and has a masters in applied theatre from UVic. She leads the seniors’ the-atre group and teaches acting in community.
She adapts well and with hilarity to her characters, be it a self-absorbed woman in a loveless marriage to an aggressive fan.
Wolkowski also brings acting acumen, having been involved in numerous theatre, film and television projects over the past 20 years in Edmonton.
There is no room to list all the talented
members of the crew behind the scenes but Kirkwood-Hacket t sums it up well in his director’s notes:
“Thanks to my won-derfully talented cast and crew for all their hard work in bringing their characters to life,” he says. “To my techni-cal crew and backstage crew – you guys are the best.”
Bedtime Stories runs at 7:30 p.m. to Oct. 31. Sunday performances take place at 1:30 p.m. Tickets are available at Intwined Fibre Arts on Hudson Avenue. For more information, or to buy tickets online, visit www.shuswaptheatre.com.

Giving voice to the sacredChorealis vocal ensemble’s fall performance is
A Moving Stillness, a new experience for the choir and audience.
As the title implies, this will be a time of sa-cred, meditative music by such composers as Pal-estrina, Gjeilo, Whitaker and the okanagan’s own sandra Wilmot.
To create beautiful music together has been the desire of the men and women of Chorealis vocal ensemble since its inception in 2008. The 12 singers come from many parts of the okana-gan – salmon Arm, Armstrong, vernon, Lumby, Winfield and Kelowna. They are a self-directed group who love to get together to make music,
and equally love to sing for audiences who ap-preciate their unique a cappella sound.
over the years, Chorealis has performed at se-niors’ residences, vernon Hospice House, various local choral events, Cascade of Choirs in Kelow-na and their most recent concerts, Chorealis Sings in 2013 and Pathways of Love in 2014.

ARIES (March 21-April 19): Rams need to roam free and keep active. With Venus, Mars and Jupiter all visiting your wellbeing zone, learn to love the things in life that are good for you. If you blurt out the first thing on your mind on Thursday or Friday, then you’ll spend the rest of the week patching up the problems you’ve created.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20): When dealing with others, being kind of heart - and offering sensible advice - is a winning double. The Venus/Pluto trine encourages deep emotions, intense connections and plenty of passion. So make sure you get up-close-and-personal with someone special this week.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Research projects and paying close attention to details are highlighted, as Mercury and Pluto activate your study gene. Your fickle attention span will also be tested, when a project demands that you concentrate for more than 60 seconds. If you focus your mind and deepen your thinking, you’ll get the job done.
CANCER (June 21-July 22): Are you having romantic rumbles or platonic partnership problems? The more emotionally stubborn you are, the more frustrating the week will be. Strive to be extra cooperative, and have the confidence to speak from the heart and say what’s really on your mind. Others may not agree with your comments, but they will respect you for being open, honest and authentic.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): With Venus, Mars and Jupiter all jumping through your wealth zone, tap into the abundance that is all around you – and not just on a financial level. It’s time to combine your outer creativity with your inner strength, so that you shine brightly for all the world to see. It’s your Leo birthright!
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Many Virgos will be alarmingly charming as you make those around you feel extra special. Venus stimulates your love of the good things in life, as you enjoy convivial company, beautiful surroundings, the arts, fine food or delicious dining. But avoid the tendency to worry and obsess about something that is totally out of your control.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Avoid procrastinating, dithering, and sitting on the side-lines! With Saturn in your social media zone, you have to work extra hard to get your message out to the world so push yourself to post and publish; socialise and circulate; converse and communicate. On Friday, don’t be dazzled by outer appearances - look beneath the surface to discover a person’s true value.
SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Are you being obsessively private? Scorpios can be very secretive, mysterious and enigmatic but avoid being a lone wolf - or should that be a lone Scorpion? Just remember that what you hide from others, you can also hide from yourself! So strive to be more open and honest in the way you communicate – especially from Friday onwards.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Expect an entertaining and rollicking ride, as your emotions go up and down in rapid succession. Is a friend, colleague or acquaintance being incredibly demanding? Don’t be too hard on them … they have a lot on their plate. Friday is fabulous for financial matters and taking care of business but you’ll feel a bit stir-crazy on the weekend.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Are you obsessed about a personal or professional issue? Avoid being short-sighted and making [uncharacteristically] impulsive moves. A calm, considered approach - with a view to the long-term - is the sensible way for clever Capricorns to go. The best way to expand your world at the moment is through exciting new friendships and international contacts.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Have you got a problem that’s bothering you? Worrying about it will get you nowhere. Friday is a fabulous day to slow down and look within, as you meditate and contemplate. Listen to the wisdom of your inner voice – your intuition will point you in the right direction.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): When it comes to plans for the future, you’re full of innovative ideas and creative schemes. Pluto demands that you dig deep and set substantial goals that are worthy of your talents. And strive to get the balance right between being impulsive, and taking thoughtful action.
