Numbers were down, but spirits are high.

Ticket sales to the annual Salmon Arm Fair were down by about 800, but there were more than 326 new exhibi-tors.

Star MacGregor, fair com-mittee chair, said all the ex-hibitors, young or old, pay an exhibitor’s fee that gives them entry to the fair on all three days and those totals are kept separate from ticket revenue.

“I was very pleased we had new exhibitors and pleased that families with two, four or more kids were exhibit-ing,” she says. “It’s wonder-ful to see younger people entering with their families,

starting the tradition.”MacGregor was also

thrilled with the numbers and dedication of the fair volunteers, which she says are countless, because each division has its own volun-teers.

“We probably had 75 peo-ple just on the gates but we can’t give a clear number,” she said. “We’re asking them (conveners) to give us a re-port of how many volunteer hours they have put in.”

MacGregor heard many positive comments about the parade and Shooting Star Midway and said the worst incident at the fair was at the first aid stations where Band-Aids were handed out for blisters.

MacGregor offered kudos

to this year’s fair co-ordi-nator, Debbie Evans, who brought in some new family- friendly attractions such as a straw maze, gold panning and an opportunity for little

folks to hold live chicks.“We think we had a suc-

cessful fair.”

Happy dance: Garret Thompson and Josie Larson, from Just for Kicks, entertain people along the pa-rade route for the annual Salmon Arm Fair parade through downtown. See more images on A11 and A13.

Students forced to transfer

When Silver Creek Elementary School narrow-ly escaped closure last May, school trustees told parents to grow the school’s student population in order to keep the rural school viable in the future.

And parents were successful – adding 17 new students to the school’s population this year.

But the parents are left feeling their efforts have been negated by the school district, which is now forcing the transfer of Silver Creek’s six Grade 6 and 7 students to Shuswap Middle School.

“They were the ones who encouraged us to have the school grow, and we worked hard to up those numbers, and now the school district says, ‘Sorry, there’s not enough money for another teacher.’ We can’t grow the school if they keep forcing our kids out,” says parent advisory council member Kristie Clark. She is especially upset because, after work-ing to increase enrolment, her son is one of the stu-dents being forced elsewhere.

“My son was so excited because he feels so comfortable at Silver Creek and then on the sec-ond day we hear this news. He was in tears,” says Clark.

Due to class-size limits, another teacher would be required to cover the 53 students wanting to attend Silver Creek. Citing the low numbers of students who would be in that teacher’s class and the need to balance the school district budget, the school district has instead opted to transfer the older students out. This leaves one teacher for the kindergarten-Grade 1 class and another to teach the Grade 2/3/4/5 class.

“The real issue in making these difficult deci-sions is providing equity of service to students around the district,” says school superintendent Glenn Borthistle. “If we were to add a third divi-sion to Silver Creek, the ratio of teacher to student would be far less than at other schools.”

Borthistle notes this is a process that happens

“I’m one tired per-son with no voice,” croaked Evans, taking the phone from Mac-Gregor. “I went around the grounds asking people what did they enjoy and what could we improve, and they couldn’t tell me any-thing (to improve).”

Evans says some of the commercial ven-dors had difficulty sell-ing their products, but pointed out that many

families have just laid out sizeable amounts of money getting their kids ready for school.

As well, she said unique items not avail-able locally seemed to sell well and that over-all, success depended on product and pricing.

“There was a chal-lenge getting vendors in but by changing our entertainment, we had people coming (into the arena) at 10 p.m.,” she says.

“Lori and Gil Risling put together a solid pro-

gram that kept people here.”

Evans acknowledges that the short shows put on by the Thundering Impact horse drill team were a result of mis-communication.

“They were sup-posed to perform be-tween horse shows and they just came from the PNE where they did that,” said Evans, noting team members were not aware they could have more time in the ring. “They said if they ever come back

they’ll do longer per-formances.”

Evans suspects Satur-day numbers may have been down because of the heat and that many folks might have opted for the beach.

“The worst critic of the fair right now is the person you’re talking to,” she said of her attempts to assess what worked and what didn’t. “I put my heart and soul into this and I should know what went well. I am as open as a sponge.”

each year once actual student numbers are known. A student from North Canoe has also been required to trans-fer to another Salmon Arm school due to class size limits, while some classes in Highland Park and Grindrod Ele-mentary are full. Silver Creek has also prevent-ed the enrolment of one Grade 3 student at the school due to the class-size limit.

Increased numbers at Shuswap Middle School were already re-quiring another teacher to be added, and the Silver Creek students could be accommodat-ed there.

Some Silver Creek parents are not willing to give up and move their kids without a fight. They have ap-pealed to MLA Greg Kyllo for assistance.

“We understand where the district is coming from, but it is not fair,” says Clark. “This situation speaks to the underfunding of education in this prov-ince. We need to go higher, the community of Salmon Arm, the Shuswap, the Okana-

gan, all of B.C. We all need to rally against the government to provide the support our kids need.”

At least one parent has also already filed a formal appeal with the school board against the forced transfer. This means the issue will be brought before the board for a final deter-mination.

The Observer at-tempted to speak with school trustees about the issue; however, none would comment, citing the pending ap-peal process. A hear-ing on the issue will be held within the next two weeks.

Silver Creek parents point out that Silver Creek Elementary is one of the smaller rural schools in the province that specifically re-ceives funding to deal

with these types of situ-ations.

School District #83 receives $157,500 di-rectly from the prov-ince for Silver Creek Elementary to help supplement the costs of small schools. This funding, however, is not allocated directly to the school but becomes part of the school dis-trict’s general opera-tional budget.

Noah Ralston, who spearheaded the drive to convert Silver Creek Elementary to a Mon-tessori model and in-crease its enrolment, also says the removal of two grades is not a normal forced trans-fer, calling it a “grade reconfiguration in dis-guise.”

As per school dis-trict policy, he says this grade reconfiguration should require 60 days’ notice to parents and

public consultation.In the meantime, the

school board has com-missioned a report on the viability of a Mon-tessori program in the district, although not necessarily at Silver Creek, and is also go-ing to look at the op-tion of converting Sil-ver Creek into a K-8 school.

While some parents are concerned that the low numbers at Silver Creek Elemen-tary will once again put the school on the chopping block for the 2016-2017 school year, Borthistle says the in-creased numbers in the lower grades bode well for its future.

“At this time there is no motion from the board or recom-mendation to staff to talk about closing the school,” says Borthis-tle.

Teen copes with leukemia

Megan Senn is a bubbly, affectionate person, who loves cats, music, dancing, the co-lours pink and purple, the movie Frozen, teen magazines and her family and friends. But right now she’s endur-ing a difficult time.

At the beginning of this month, Megan was diagnosed with leuke-mia. She is now in BC Children’s Hospital in Vancouver and her mom, Karen Quinton, is staying in her room with her.

Megan has Down syndrome. Megan’s aunt Leslie Stewart ex-plains that because she has special needs, it’s more of a challenge to explain things to her, “so it’s good Karen’s there… They’re in Chil-dren’s Hospital, which is great, that’s where she needs to be. It’s ex-cellent care.”

However, it is a big expense and upheaval for the family.

Megan has three siblings: Heather, 19, Courtney, 18, and Con-nor, 14, and Quinton is a single mom. She is a Grade 1 teacher at Parkview Elementary but has also taught at other district schools.

“I think what the concern for family, first and foremost, is for Me-gan to get better. And Karen’s a single mom, with a single income,” says Stewart. “So that’s why we’re trying to fundraise. This puts an-other added expense on the family, on what was already a tight budget.”

She says Megan is now undergoing che-mo, and it’s not known how long she will be in hospital. She attended Salmon Arm Second-ary last year, but hasn’t been able to go yet this term.

“It’s one day at a time, how well she re-sponds to it. I think there is a good outlook – I hope things will go well. That’s what we’re praying for. It could take up to two years of treatment.”

Even when she’s not

receiving treatment, Megan can’t be far away from the hospital.

Megan’s grandpa as well as aunts, uncles and other family mem-bers are helping out with Megan’s siblings.

“Megan misses her brothers and sisters, her grandma and grampa – she looks forward to going home, but she’s going to be there for a while.”

To help the family, a GoFundMe account on the Internet has been set up under Megan Senn Recovery Fund at http://www.gofundme.com/6q3mrt38.

Donations can also be made at any branch of Salmon Arm Sav-ings and Credit Union, by asking for the ‘In trust for Megan Senn, account 1626480.’ If people wish to write a cheque, make it out to ‘Leslie Stewart, in trust for Megan Senn.’

Fundraising: Medical expenses stretch family’s budget.

Challenge: Megan Senn, a 16-year-old with Down syndrome, was recently diag-nosed with leukemia and is undergoing treatment at BC Children’s Hospital.

Variances Ok’d for ‘beautiful’ propertyCity council weighed concerns

of neighbours and the wishes of property owners in making servic-ing and setback decisions on what

was described by councillors as a beautiful property and the envy of many in Salmon Arm.

High above the town and lake at the corner of 20 Avenue SE and 10th Street SE, the parcel is set to become, in three phases, a 34-lot

single family residential subdivi-sion. The owners, listed as E. and M. Byers and a B.C. numbered company, represented by agent Jayme Franklin of Franklin Engi-neering Ltd., were requesting three variances from council. They were

granted two of three. One was to reduce the width of a panhandle portion of a proposed lot from 20 to 10 metres, and the second to waive the requirement to connect two proposed catch basins on 20th Avenue SE to the city storm sewer

system. Staff reported two similar catch basins with rock pits exist to the east on the same street.

Council did not approve the re-quest to reduce the minimum road width of the extension of 17th Av-enue SE from 20 to 18 metres.

SALMON ARM OBSERVER

Editorial

Salmon Arm council’s public input meeting

on the 2016 budget provided food for thought.

The normal procedure is for community

groups or individuals to come to city council

with requests for funding for projects or for

organizations. A group of neighbours might

lobby for a sidewalk for their street, or an

organization might request funding help for a

project that will benefit the community.

There were several of these types of requests

Monday evening, which council will consider

during budget deliberations. But one citizen

came for another reason.

He had suggestions – some of them ways

the city might save money or possibly be more

environmentally friendly. While they weren’t

presented as well-laid-out plans and might not

have been within the city’s power, the intent

was interesting.

Though he was told by the mayor that he

was only giving cost-saving measures and

not items for the budget, perhaps he was onto

something. What about an additional budget

meeting where people present cost-saving mea-

sures they’ve considered? City departments are

always having to cut items in order to make

budget; perhaps some broader input from citi-

zens might make the job easier.

Who knows, there might just be an idea or

two that no one has thought of before.

Gathering ideas for saving dollars

Arnold gets a rough rideMel Arnold might have wished he’d actually skipped the Ver-

non Performing Arts Centre forum Monday.It was clear right from the get-go that many in the crowd of

500 had set their sights on the Conservative candidate and appar-ent whipping boy for every perceived wrong initiated by Stephen Harper. The first question from the floor challenged Arnold’s de-cision not to attend all of the forums in North Okanagan-Shus-wap.

“We have a busy schedule and multiple requests for forums,” he countered, adding that he is spending considerable time knocking on doors.

“That’s where we really hear what’s important to people.”Agitation grew as the issue of Syria arose and specifically, Can-

ada’s bombing of ISIS insurgents. Through a volley of hecklers, Arnold defended the government’s military actions.

“Our government has joined an international coalition to work at the source,” he said.

And the jeering intensified as Arnold spoke of the refugees flooding into Europe and the tragic death of a young boy.

“We have to stop that festering evil (ISIS) in its tracks.” The curve ball question of the night came when an audience

member asked the candidates what they thought of the job done by retiring Conservative MP Colin Mayes. It was a balancing act as Arnold needed to be respectful of the party’s long-time local flag-bearer while demonstrating that he’s his own man.

“I know how much Colin put into the job. He represented every one of you,” said Arnold. But his comments contrasted sharply to those from a few residents who spoke of not being able to access Mayes’ office or not having phone calls returned.

Among them was Jacqui Gingras, NDP candidate who orga-nized rallies against Bill C-51, the government’s anti-terrorism legislation.

“Many people have had concerns about Colin’s office being locked. When you could speak to someone through a crack (in the door), the reason given was the high risk of terrorism in Vernon,” she said to a rolling wave of laughter.

On a side note, Green Party candidate Chris George brought down the house with his description of Mayes’ tenure: “He’s done at least as well as the rest of the Conservative caucus.”

Now there were some pointed questions directed towards Gingras about where she stands on the gun registry, and Liberal Cindy Derkaz about income splitting, but hard balls kept being tossed in the direction of Arnold.

Obviously there are some voters who are tired of the Conser-vative government and will do anything to prevent re-election, including acting worse than a group of children.

These antics are likely to continue during the upcoming forums as some NDP and Liberal supporters see the tight three-way race nationally and smell blood. Arnold will either buckle under the pressure or the hostility will galvanize local Conservatives to stand their ground and hold on tight until Oct. 19.

View PointThe Observer asked: What should be the top priority for candidates in this federal election?

Teresa Brookes “Canadian job security. We need to take care of our own before we look after others.”

Mike Boulter “The environment. We need to look for new ways to generate energy and stop relying on fossil fuels.”

Joanne Patrick Lomax “We need economic stability. I don’t think we can spend our way out of a recession.”

Rod Dekker “Healthcare, education, it’s hard to pick just one when there are so many issues that need to be addressed.”

Herbert George “We need to put Canadian jobs ahead of jobs for immigrants.”

Given Stephen Harper’s innate disdain for the judg-ment of Canadians, it was inevitable that he would contract out the job of head honcho for the Conserva-tive election campaign to a foreigner.

Australian Lynton Cros-by is a ruthless world-renowned political spin-doctor. Crosby is intent on manipulating the emotions of Canadian voters using fear. He believes he can win the election for Harper’s Conservatives by enforc-ing strict discipline on the campaign staff; by distort-

ing the truth with cleverly crafted talking points and by systematically under-mining the character, abili-ties and policies of the op-position leaders.

In the story, The Wonder-ful Wizard of Oz, the ruler of the Land of Oz is revered by his subjects because they believe he is the only one who can solve difficult problems.

Eventually the charlatan is exposed to be nothing more than a conman who has been using various car-nival props and magic tricks to make the people think he

has great powers. During the last 10 years,

the vast majority of Cana-dians have come to realize Stephen Harper, the self-proclaimed economic mas-termind, has become noth-ing more than addicted to power.

Lynton Crosby’s task is to make Mr. Harper ap-pear less scary than the other party leaders. Don’t be hoodwinked by the wily wizardry of Australia’s highly paid master of the dark political arts!

Wilf Adam were quoted by both Aboriginal Relations Minister John Rustad and Premier Christy Clark at their second annual meeting with aboriginal leaders around the province.

In her closing remarks, Clark repeated her aim to continue economic development and resource revenue sharing that have domi-nated the government’s approach in recent years.

“Let’s eliminate poverty in First Nations communities,” she said, adding “the only way we can fight poverty is to grow the economy.”

Not surprisingly, Clark’s chosen example was the potential of liquefied natural gas de-velopment for the Haisla Nation near Kiti-mat.

That and similar proposals require new gas pipelines. And as is customary in B.C., what people most often hear about are threats and wild claims regarding protests such as the Unist’ot’en camp near Smithers, set up to block a gas pipeline.

There was a round of this in late August, after Grand Chief Stewart Phillip of the mil-itant Union of B.C. Indian Chiefs claimed hundreds of RCMP officers were about to descend on the camp. This echoed previous false claims made by self-styled anarchists such as Victoria’s Zoe Blunt, who has been organizing outside support for the camp for the last couple of years.

Media jumped at the prospect of another Gustafson Lake-style confrontation. This prompted an unusual statement from Cpl. Janelle Shoihet of the North District RCMP.

“To clarify, the B.C. RCMP has no inten-tion of ‘taking down the camp’ set up by the Unist’ot’en,” she said, emphasizing that police are not taking sides or acting as se-curity for pipeline exploration crews being harassed by protesters, who have token sup-port from a couple of dissident members of a Wet’suwet’en clan.

Four elected chiefs of the Wet’suwet’en issued their own statement, to correct media coverage that represents the Unist’ot’en as speaking for their communities.

“Our Nations support responsible re-source development as a way to bring First Nations out of poverty and bring opportuni-ties for our young people,” said Burns Lake Band Chief Dan George.

Wet’suwet’en First Nation Chief Karen Ogen said job and benefit agreements for the Coastal GasLink pipeline were entered into after careful consideration, and she ob-jected to protests from outsiders, some from outside the country.

“Sustainability means standing on our own two feet, providing our young people with good paying jobs, and reducing the 40 to 60 per cent unemployment we now expe-rience,” Ogen said.

Haisla Nation Chief Councillor Ellis Ross has no time for crude oil projects, but he has been working towards gas-related develop-ment as long as anyone.

Ross spoke out in support of the elected Wet’suwet’en chiefs in their efforts to re-solve the dispute with Unist’ot’en members.

“Opposition is the easiest job in the world,” he said. “What is difficult is finding an answer when a First Nations mother has concerns about her child’s future.

“Politicians are quick to shout out sound bites and get into camera shots, but where are the cameras when another First Nations member takes their own life or when they pass away from highway/alcohol related deaths?”

Ross noted that recent court decisions have put B.C. aboriginal leaders in the best position they have ever had, with govern-ments and development project proponents coming to them “with inclusion in mind” after decades of resource development that has passed them by.

You wouldn’t know it most days, but First Nations along both the Coastal GasLink and Pacific Trails gas pipelines have agreed to them.

More aboriginal leaders are getting tired of managing poverty, and misguided pro-testers.

Citizens need to be self-sufficient

Government shouldn’t be all things

Re: Urban society slides into helplessness (B.C. Views, Sept. 9)

Thanks for the article on the way society cannot han-dle any small upsets to the status quo.

I remember the big wind-storm of 2006, which inci-dentally was in December. I was a 60-plus senior at the time, and my power was out in a residential area of Colwood for five-and-a-half days, as our two-house pow-er line was not a high priority in the queue.

I watched the Hydro trucks go by day after day, waiting my turn for recon-nection.

Fortunately I have a wood stove that can heat my house, boil water and cook food. It does get tiresome living by candlelight but I had my di-saster radio nearby to listen to the local station give up-dates on how Hydro was do-ing. Most of my freezer con-tents were moved to friends’ homes, and my garden shed became my refrigerator.

Anyone with common

sense can understand that the repair crews work tirelessly to restore power as quickly as possible, and perhaps the media could help by remind-ing people that they need to fend for themselves for sev-eral days if a major earth-quake ever occurs.

Calling 911 just clogs up the lines and can stop people from getting through with real emergencies.

Whatever will we do when the “big one” comes?

In the battle of bea-vers versus humans, the beavers have been showing up, digging deep and giving 110 per cent.

Team Beavers’ work ethic is evident to any-one who has walked the Foreshore Nature Trail along Salmon Arm Bay recently.

In a league of their own, the toothy rodents have set their sights on a lofty goal – creating a new pond.

Unfortunately, their goal entails flooding the trail and, poten-tially, destabilizing the railway tracks.

The beavers have been building a new dam on the railway side of the trail, which humans have had little success in dismantling.

“Whenever someone makes a hole in the dam, they rebuild it the next night,” says Joyce Henderson, a member of SABNES (the Na-ture Bay Society), who walks the trail regu-larly.

Although she be-lieves the beavers are fighting a losing battle, she’s enjoying the con-test just the same.

“From my point of view, it’s an entertain-ing situation. Today, the path across the trail is the deepest it’s been,” she said Thurs-day. “You have wet feet. They’re winning – until other forces pre-vail.”

Meanwhile, mem-bers of SABNES have put their heads together to formulate a plan of attack.

President Janet Ait-ken summed up the

problem Friday. “The beavers work

harder than we do, that’s part of the chal-lenge.”

Although the plan wasn’t finalized, she said the idea is to lower the water on one side

with the help of a pipe or pipes.

SABNES will also be wrapping some of the trees to prevent the beavers from downing them.

Rob Niewenhuizen, the city’s director of engineering, said the city won’t intervene unless asked to do so.

He said CP Rail is aware of the situation.

More students will be getting lunch this year as a partnership between the Salmon Arm Rotary Club and Askew’s Foods extends its reach.

In October 2014 the service club and Askew’s launched a school lunch program for children in need of daily lunch assistance at elementary schools.

The program provid-ed assistance to children from Falkland, Ender-by, Salmon Arm, Silver Creek, Sorrento and Si-camous.

The idea grew from

a club member Kari Wilkinson’s request for $250 to support a Dis-trict Parent Advisory Council (DPAC) hot lunch program after noticing the number of children who could not afford to participate in the program.

The lunch program served approximately 250 to 275 children on a daily basis from Octo-ber through June.

Kids were provided healthy foods including cheese, fruit, vegeta-bles, sandwiches, juice and milk.

Organizers in each

school are responsible for shopping for the items and distribution within the school.

“The positive out-comes from this pro-gram included im-

proved attendance, and students more focused and ready to learn as a result of not being hungry,” says Wilkin-son. “Anxiety levels decreased around food security, and a positive change in behaviour was noted in vulnerable students.”

Wilkinson says there was also no stress or stigma for students to get the lunch support needed as items were made available to all children, including those who might have left their lunch at home.

As Rotary Lunch

Program co-ordinator, Wilkinson is thrilled the program will not only continue but funds have been secured to include high schools in Salmon Arm, Sicamous and Enderby for the coming year.

To help raise the funds, the Salmon Arm Rotary Club will be raf-fling off a three-minute Askew’s Foods Shop-ping Spree again this fall. Corporate partners are also welcome as sponsors. For informa-tion, contact Wilkinson, 250-832-8261 or [email protected].

Hydro crew rescues snagged owlA great horned owl is recov-

ering in Kamloops after an al-tercation with a kite and a close brush with hydro wires.

Lynn Stanley had no idea her grandson’s runaway kite would cause quite so much trouble when it blew into trees near the family’s hydro trans-former and adjacent power lines at their Tappen home.

At dusk on Wednesday, Sept. 9, Stanley was alerted to something by her dogs bark-ing, went outside and saw the owl dangling – its wing caught in the kite’s string just above the hydro connection. After initially being unsuccessful getting BC Hydro’s attention, Stanley contacted a wildlife rehabilitation group in Delta, which specializes in raptors.

They took charge and within 10 minutes of their call to BC Hydro, Stanley got a call back saying there was a crew on their way.

“Here they are up at 50 feet in the air with their bucket truck at 11 at night,” says Stanley. “I was so grateful be-cause I didn’t know what we were going to do. I didn’t want to leave the poor owl up there all night and still have no idea how to get him down.”

The BC Hydro linesmen told Stanley that any issue with hydro poles or lines should be reported to hydro, as they do not want members of the pub-lic trying to work on it them-selves.

“It’s just too dangerous,” she said.

The hydro workers were able to cut a length of string from both sides of the bird and

using the string and the bucket, they lowered the bird down into a plastic bin.

The next day, the Stanleys drove the injured bird to the Kamloops Wildlife Park. Staff

told them the owl has an ex-cellent chance of being reha-bilitated and released back into the wild.

“I’m so grateful to everyone who helped out,” says Stanley.

The risk of suffering an in-jury while exercising will never disappear entirely. Even the most seasoned athletes suffer setbacks from time to time, and even the most popular ex-ercises are not completely risk-averse. With that in mind, the following are some favorite exercises and how to avoid injury when performing them.

• Jogging: Joggers should get adequate rest between running sessions and wear comfortable, well-fitting shoes when jogging. Avoid loose shoes so your feet don’t develop blisters, and ice your knees after each workout to facilitate their recovery. Knee and foot problems tend to plague many joggers, so it’s im-portant that joggers take steps to reduce injury rath-er than telling themselves to push through the pain.

• Circuit training: Cir-cuit training is popular because it allows time-pressed men and women to workout several areas of their bodies in relative-ly little time. When done correctly, circuit training is an efficient way to enhance cardiovascular fitness and muscle endurance. Circuit training participants do not typically do as many repetitions when work-ing their muscles as they might when working out

one muscle group at a time, and that leads many to lift extra weight. That can cause damage to the shoulders or other areas of the body that are engaged as part of strength train-ing. Such injuries can be avoided by adding rest to a circuit training routine and taking more time be-tween exercises. This may run counter to the point of such a routine, but it’s well worth avoiding injury.

• Yoga: Yoga is an increas-ingly popular exercise that can improve flexibility and overall strength. But some

yoga participants have suf-fered wrist injuries, pulled muscles and hip problems as a result of their yoga routines. Such injuries can be easily avoided by rein-forcing your wrists with supports and not overdo-ing it when you feel your muscles are tight before or during a workout. If your instructor tries to push your body into a position you’re uncomfortable in, speak up and say you want to avoid that position.

• Weightlifting: Weight-lifting injuries are often the result of overdoing it with

weights or not adhering to proper form when lifting. When strength training, don’t go overboard with how much weight you are lifting. Start out with light

weights and then gradual-ly increase the weight until you reach a figure you are comfortable with. Before beginning a weightlifting regimen, consult with a

trainer at the gym or read your equipment owner’s manual at home to en-sure you are following the proper form for each ex-ercise.

1925 W.O. Springer prepared for the opening of the duck season by set-ting out a dozen decoys at Sunnybrae. By morning, half of them were missing, the inference being that some kind friend had appropriated them.

1935 In spite of the torrents of rain that fell last Saturday, the optimists retained their reputation as the evening was clear and the moon shone brightly, lighting up a happy scene in the Bay of Eagles. There blazed a big bon� re on the beach, surrounded by a laughing, chatter-ing crowd roasting wieners. Many thanks are due to those who volunteered for this event.

1945 A grant of $1,500 has been made by the provincial government to the Salmon Arm General hospital to assist with the purchase of badly needed X-ray equipment, it was reported at a recent meeting of the hospital board.Marking the entry of the vast Saskatch-ewan Co-operative movement into the lum-ber manufacturing business in British Co-lumbia, the modern sawmill plant owned by Shuswap Lumber Co. Ltd. at Canoe has been purchased by the Saskatchewan Fed-erated Co-operatve Ltd. It was announced by O.S. Harris, president of the Shuswap � rm. While the amount paid has not been disclosed, it is reported to be in the range of $250,000. The transaction is one of the largest to be completed in Interior B.C. lumber circles in a number of years.

1955 Lack of competition in the bidding for the new schools to be built in the Salmon Arm School District surprised the trustees when the tenders on various projects were opened at a special meeting Friday night. There was also a suggestion that the large amount of work underway in various parts of the province at the present time may also have been partly responsible for the lack of interest in Salmon Arm contracts.

Survivor chosen to play Terry FoxWhen he was 16, Jar-

ed Huumonen lost his leg to the same kind of cancer that claimed the life of Canadian hero Terry Fox.

Little did he know that years later, he would be asked to por-tray Fox during a His-tory Moment television clip.

Jared, whose par-ents Shirley and Tapio live in Sicamous, will be featured in the one-minute clip, which will be running on various networks in tribute to the 35th anniversary of Terry’s remarkable journey across Canada. The clips began airing Tuesday, Sept 15 on Bell Media channels, including CTV, Much, MTV, TSN and Com-edy. Then other broad-casters will start airing it, including CBC, the History Channel and Shaw networks in Vic-toria and Vancouver.

Huumonen was re-cruited to play Terry Fox through the com-

pany which makes his prosthetic leg. The production company, Historica Canada, was looking for someone who might be suitable and, although at 37, Huumonen is older than Terry Fox, his height and build was similar. With the addition of a curly wig, some short-shorts and a specially made prosthetic leg de-signed to look like the one Terry Fox wore, Huumonen was ready to film.

“Jared told me the worst part was wearing the wig because it was so hot as he ran.”

But Shirley says be-ing asked to play Terry Fox was such an honour for Jared, who always looked to Terry as a hero, especially after surviving the same type of cancer, osteogenic sarcoma.

With her voice wa-vering, Shirley spoke of how proud her family was to see Jared run-ning as Terry.

“What Terry did, and is still doing to help

those fighting cancer. And to see Jared out there…” she says. “It still just chokes me up every time.”

Run on SundayShirley is anxious for

people to support the Terry Fox Run in Salm-on Arm, which takes place at Blackburn Park on Sunday, Sept. 20 at 10 a.m. There are two, four- and 10-kilometre distances. To register, visit www.terryfox.org or in person Sunday be-ginning at 8 a.m.

Scenes from the Salmon Arm FAIR 2015

EVAN BUHHLER/OBSERVER


Find a job you love.


Election 2015

Dedicated to Conservative idealsSerious and hard-

working are two words Mel Arnold uses to de-scribe himself.

Raised on a dairy farm in Notch Hill, Ar-nold learned the work ethic early. It’s an at-tribute that served him well in business, as it led to his first job when one of his teachers hired him for boat building.

That’s a line of work that stuck.

Arnold, who is run-ning under the Con-servative banner in the federal North Okanagan Shuswap riding, has operated his Complete Marine Detailing busi-ness for 26 years.

“I built that from the ground up – I’m not so much hands on any more. Through that I’ve learned the importance of balanced budgets and planning ahead for pos-sible hard times.”

Arnold and his high school sweetheart Lin-da have been married for 36 years.

“My wife and I are both proud to be life-time residents,” he says.

Personality-wise, Arnold describes him-self as “a listener, very much approachable. Serious. More on the serious side than on the fun-loving side.”

Arnold’s background includes volunteering, with two terms as presi-dent of the BC Wildlife Federation and six years as chair of governance with the Canadian Wildlife Federation.

Asked about his pas-sions, the outdoors tops the list.

“I like to enjoy the outdoors any time I can. Hunting and fishing are my favourite passions but anytime I can be outdoors. And, oddly enough, governance is a passion. That’s why I was chair with the Ca-nadian Wildlife Federa-tion…,” he said.

Asked if he has trou-ble reconciling his love of the outdoors with the Conservative govern-ment’s much-criticized performance on the environment, he says: “My past roles have

been as a conservation-ist, not a preservationist. I believe in the wise use of resources. The Con-servatives have been very supportive of en-vironmental issues. In fact last year, there was $252 million for the conservation plan. That will go towards pro-tecting sensitive areas and programs aimed at conservation of natural resources.”

Regarding potential pipeline spills, he says, “With 21st century technology, I think the risks are reasonable, es-pecially compared with the risks in rail disasters, like Lac-Mégantic.”

As for international criticism of Canada’s position regarding cli-mate change and the Kyoto Accord, he says: “The agreement may have been over-ambi-tious in light that Can-ada produces only two per cent of the world’s greenhouse gas emis-sions. It’s very difficult

to reduce those emis-sions when they’re al-ready at a low level.”

Another issue the prime minister has re-ceived ongoing criti-cism about has revolved around muzzling dis-sent, as well as potential assaults on privacy such as Bill C51.

“Most of the pow-ers in that bill existed already,” says Arnold. “The change is, it will

allow different authori-ties to share informa-tion… about risks to the safety of Canadians, es-pecially here at home.”

The three issues Ar-nold has in his sights are: families sustaining local jobs; infrastruc-ture and the highway system; and advocating on behalf of seniors.

Arnold says he be-lieves he would have a voice in Ottawa.

“Yes, I’m a team player, a team builder; my previous roles have prepared me for how to bring people on board with your ideas.”

He said he hasn’t met Stephen Harper but is confident Harper would listen to him. “Caucus is a very open system.”

The Silverbacks skated out onto the ice in a reserved and respectful manner as they started their 2015/16 season with a mo-ment of silence for Hallie Grace Bolduc, the daughter of Silverbacks forward Carson Bolduc and his girlfriend Kierra Lentz.

At just one week old, Hallie was diag-nosed with an enterovirus that attacked her heart, she put up a tough fight but sadly after three weeks she died.

“The moment of silence was really touch-ing, it’s great to see the support I have from the team and community,” said a humble Bolduc after the game.

Following the sombre ceremony, there was no lack of intensity once the puck was dropped, as the ’Backs entertained the more than 1,700 fans with an impressive 4-2 win over the defending Fred Page Cup champi-ons, Penticton Vees.

“There was lots of emotion tonight with the moment of silence for Hallie before the game. We’re a family and we played for our teammate (Bolduc) tonight,” said Brandon West, head coach of the Silverbacks.

The last time the Silverbacks won a home opener was five years ago to the day, back when the Shaw Centre was known as the Sunwave Centre.

Four-year veteran, Angus Redmond start-ed the game sharp, shutting down the Vees captain Tyson Jost on two occasions early in the first period.

“Angus played the way we expect him to play, like a veteran,” said West of the game’s first star.

After some free-flowing play, the ’Backs hemmed the Vees in their zone and the West Corina, Calif. native Elijiah Barriga opened the scoring in the game.

“I found myself in the slot with lots of time and space, Josh(Laframboise) made a great pass and I was able to put it home from there,” said a broadly smiling Barriga.

The 19-year-old import chipped in his second of the game on a short-handed two-on-one rush with Nick Hutchison early in the second.

“It’s an unreal feeling, I never thought I would score two in my first game,” said Bar-riga. Vees rookie Easton Brodzinski cut the visitors defect in half, but 31 seconds after, saw it cancelled out by Josh Blanchard’s first of the season. And Ross Heidt scored

just before the end of the middle frame.Colton Thibault was a constant physical

presence, racking up a large number of bone crushing hits that blew the roof off the Shaw Centre.

“Colton was great, his play really inspired the team tonight,” said West.

Again, Brodzinski scored to half the lead, but that is as close as the Vees would get.

Overall, West said he was pleased with his

team’s performance.“There is no question that our team likes

to play offence, but in order to keep the mo-mentum going we need to clean up a few de-fensive mistakes before heading to Merritt.”

The Silverbacks next home game will see them play host to the Coquitlam Express on Saturday at 7 p.m., and return to the arena the following day at 3 p.m. to play Chilli-wack.

SportsEmotion fuels Silverbacks home opener

Sweet celebration: The Silverbacks Elijiah Barriga, left, and Josh Laframboise celebrate his first goal in the BCHL and game at the Shaw Centre on Friday, Sept. 11. Barriga scored two goals in this, his BCHL debut.

The Salmon Arm Junior Bantam Char-gers easily defeated the West Kelowna Tiger-Cats last Sunday, for their first win of the season.

A dominant defen-sive performance led by Colby Kalke, Spen-cer Paquette, Dayton Bittner and Levi Byers saw them shut out West Kelowna’s offence.

The Chargers of-fence was led by second-year running backs and players of the game Luke Mathe-son and Chase Hen-ning, as well as speedy slot receiver Dylan Eugster.

The Chargers’ attack was lethal and they found the end zone any way they could, scor-ing on punt returns, short runs, long runs and through the air.

Other notable con-tributions came from quarterback Vaughn

McManamna with his first passing touch-down of the year, and Colby Heckrodt with his hard inside run-ning.

The 1-1 Chargers have a big test this week with their home opener, hosting the undefeated Kelowna Lions. Game time is 2 p.m. at Little Moun-tain.

BantamAfter their second

consecutive win of the season, the Salmon Arm Bantam Chargers find themselves on top of the league stand-ings.

The Chargers made their first trip down to the Lower Mainland last Sunday to play the Cloverdale Leopards, defeating them 56-19.

The Chargers put to-gether a strong ground attack with Bladen Ste-phens taking the first

offensive play of the game to the end zone for one of his two TDs of the day. After that score, Tyler Chartier ran for four TDs and Jaydon Mourato, Tra-vis Beers and Luke Simmonds each scored singles.

The Westside War-riors, tied for first with the Chargers, will visit the Little Mountain on Saturday, Sept. 19, at 3:30 p.m.

PeeweePeewee Chargers

lost Sunday to the

Kelowna Lions 42-6. Mason Sewell played a strong game on de-fence for the Chargers in their losing effort.

Their next contest is against the Kamloops Broncos on Sept. 20 at noon at Little Moun-tain.

Golds set for first home gameThe Salmon Arm Secondary Golds football team kicked off their season last Friday in impres-sive fashion. The Golds were up against South Kamloops and Westsyde from Kamloops in a jamboree tournament. The Golds’ defence was solid in both games, not allowing any points and the offence was successful scoring once in each game. The Golds play their first home game this Friday at 7 p.m. at the SASCU Sports Field at Little Mountain.

Miller gains Team BC experienceEleven Salmon Arm

Secondary rugby play-ers cracked the rosters of their respective pro-vincial Okanagan re-gional teams this past August.

Jewel Rugby players Brooke Miller, Krys-tine Hamre, and Avia Latosky made the U18 team, and Zaela Ro-berge made the U16 team.

Brandon Samford, Perry Quodravu, and Hunter Lampreau made the U18 team and Skylar Bailey, Devin Steiner, Eric Bruce, and Ryder Fortes made the U16 team.

In the provincial tournament, the Okan-agan girls played their way to a bronze-medal showing and the boys finished fifth overall, in a tough division.

James Cookson and Danny Hughes, coach-es of the SAS Rugby team, were very proud of the local players who made it to the re-gional teams and com-peted at the province’s highest level.

Miller’s exceptional play caught the atten-tion of the U18 Team BC at the tournament and was invited to play two games for her

province against Team USA’s U18 squad at Brentwood College.

Miller is known for her speed and being able to break through almost any tackle, which led to her play-

ing on the wing.Unfortunately Team

BC could not contain the bigger and stron-ger American team and lost the first match, leaving Team BC shell-shocked.

Team BC had one day of rest to recoup before their second go at Team USA.

Again at Brentwood College, Team BC took on the goliath task of facing Team USA.

The visitors walked away with another win, but Team BC made it closer as they were able to score 12 against their rivals.

“I played both games on the wing and had an incredible experience with such a talented team,” said Miller.

In Miller’s experi-ence she had already faced two players of Team USA at the Ful-lerton Rugby Tourna-ment in California last March, while touring with the Yeti Rugby Club.

These games also provided Rugby Cana-da with the opportunity to see the B.C. players in action with an eye on Canada’s plans to name a U18 national team in the near future.

Black Press report-ers and editors have assessed the BCHL’s Interior Division teams and decided on the fol-lowing finish:

1. Penticton Vees

Key Returnees: F Tyson Jost (23-22-45), Demico Hannoun (23-18-41), D Gabe Bast (9-31-40), Dante Fab-bro (4-29-33), G Bren-dan Barry (10-2-0), 2.06 GAA, .912 save percentage.

Rookie Sensations: F Owen Sillinger, 17, chose to play for Pent-icton after receiving heavy interest from Junior A teams such as the Vipers. Easton Brodzinski played three years of high school hockey in Blaine, MN., and recorded 72 points in 80 games. D Sam Jones, 17, put up 31 points in 28 games for the Okanagan Hockey Academy Prep Red.

Strengths: Early in training camp, the Vees displayed their speed and skill.

2. Salmon Arm Silverbacks

Key Returnees: F Taro Hirose (18-32-50), Carson Bolduc (19-25-44), Josh Blanchard (17-22-39), Ross Heidt (16-16-32), Colton Thibault of Vernon (12-14-26) and Josh Laframboise (12-10-22). D Phil Middleton (8-17-25, 47 PIM), Damian Chrcek (1-10-11, 42 PIM). G Angus Redmond (24-22-3, 2.72 GAA, .910 save percentage.

Rookie Sensa-

tions: F Cam Coutre, 17, helped the Major Midget South Island Royals to the semi-finals. Coutre racked up 17 goals and 40 points in 36 games. The team’s youngest player, Marcus Mitchell, 16, cracked the BCMML’s top-20 points table with 22 goals and 46 points last season.

Strengths: The Sil-verbacks’ strength starts in goal with An-gus Redmond, last year’s league leader with five shutouts. The return of 14 players should bring leader-ship, maturity and sta-bility. GM Troy Mick worked hard to bolster the blue line with the addition of two sizeable and experienced d-men in Aiden Salerno and Brett Stewart.

3. Vernon Vipers

Key Returnees: F Liam Finlay (23-41-64), Jagger Williamson (8-20-28), Colton Mc-Carthy (10-15-25) and Riley Brandt (14-9-23) D Mitchell Oliver (1-6-7), G Jarrod Scha-merhorn (24-12-1, 2.71 GAA).

Rookie Sensations: Ultra-skilled centre Peter Tufto, scored 27 goals and 63 points with St. Thomas Acad-emy. Jimmy Lambert, 18, pocketed 21 goals and 56 points with the Major Midget Saska-toon Contacts last year. Steven Jandric, 18, of Prince George, pro-duced 18 goals and 54 points with the Major Midget Cariboo Cou-gars.

Strengths: The Vi-pers will start with a pair of 20-year-old net detectives with Alas-kan Andrew Shortridge new to the club. Bo Pel-lah, a BCHL all-star and NHL-rated player a few years ago, will ex-cite fans with speed and puck-handling magic.

4. West Kelow-na Warriors

Key Returnees: F Liam Blackburn (22-51-73), Jonathan Des-biens (27-27-54), Kylar Hope (11-9-20), Garret Forster (17-28-45), D Kristian Blumenschein (7-35-42), Kyle Ma-rino (3-15-18), Rylan Yaremko (4-13-17).

Rookie Sensations: Jake Harrison, 16, a West Kelowna product who played with POE in Kelowna last sea-son. Connor Sodergren and Quinn Forman are both from Massachu-setts, while Reid Gun-ville hails from Prince Albert. Goalie, Forbes Polszay, from Arizona, played in three locales last season, including the Colorado Rampage U18s.

Strengths: The War-riors have a good core of veteran leaders, led by the team’s top scor-er, Liam Blackburn, and newly-appointed captain Kyle Marino. As has been the case with Warriors’ teams of recent years, a persis-tent, workmanlike ap-proach will be the key to success.

5. Merritt Centennials

Key Returnees: F Gavin Gould (24-35-

59), Colin Grannary (19-20-39), Nick Fi-danza (10-7-17), Zak Bowles (11-14-25), D Malik Kaila (1-3-4), G Anthony Pupplo (13-13-0).

Rookie Sensations: GM Joe Martin and his predecessor Luke Pierce found some gems in Americans Michael Faulkner, Nick Fiorentino, Nick Jermain and Ryan Finnegan along with homegrown talent Mi-chael Regush, Tyler Wickman and Colten Lancaster.

Strengths: With 14 new faces in the lineup, it’s going to take some time for the Cents to gel. Their pre-season demonstrated that this year’s team has the firepower and speed to be competitive in the tough Interior divi-sion, while newcom-ers Faulkner and Fio-rentino look like good additions to a blueline anchored by a healthy Kaila and Arcuri.

6. Trail Smoke Eaters

Key Returnees: F Harlan Orr (18-17-35), Max Newton (9-15-24), Kienan Scott (15-8-23), Cooper Leitch (7-8-15), Conner Brown-Malos-ki (8-6-14). D Jeremy Lucchini (1-12-13, 25 PIM), Evan MacEach-ern (3-21-24, 29 PIM), Ryan Swanson (5-19-24, 46 PIM), and Dex-ter McLeod (1-12-13, 35 PIM).

Rookie Sensations: Imports Nick Hal-loran, an 18-year-old Air Force commit from Draper, Utah and Army

commit John Laurito, 19, joined the Smoke Eaters with speed to burn and a nice touch around the net.

Strengths: Trail has the ability to force the play and score through-out the lineup. Also, the acquisition of highly touted netminders Bai-ley Macburnie, and Linden Marshall should provide solid and con-sistent goaltending.

Returning the playCarol Dand returns a volley during a friendly mixed doubles pickleball match at Club Shuswap Golf and RV. Dand and her partner Keith Brown won the match 11-9.

ARIES (March 21-April 19): With your ruler Mars in sunny Leo, Rams are in an optimistic phase. No challenge is too great as you approach life with extra energy, enthusiasm and adventurous ideas. But expect conversation overload when Mercury reverses through your relationship zone [from Friday until October 9]. Make sure you choose your words wisely, otherwise you’ll just upset loved ones.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): This week it will be unusually easy to be swept away with dubious dreams and uncertain schemes that have no basis in reality. So keep your Bull bull**** detector on high and keep your feet firmly on the ground. Are you expecting a substantial sum of money to land in your bank account sometime over the next two years? There may be some delays.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Don’t expect others to magically read your mind. You’ll have to be extra patient and precise in the way you communicate this week, otherwise misunderstandings are likely. Saturn also shifts back into your relationship zone, so expect a steep learning curve in your dealings with others. Strive to consolidate romantic, platonic and business partnerships over the next two years.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): When it comes to your aspirations for the future, you’re full of fabulous dreams and schemes but avoid letting blind optimism lead you up the primrose path to trouble. Stay on top of facts and leave fantasy for the movies. With Saturn shifting back into your wellbeing zone, strive to be more disciplined about your fitness and food choices.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Lions – do you feel like a cat on a hot tin roof? Avoid being cooped up inside this week – make sure you move your muscles in a variety of different ways. Some Leos will become confused about a complicated financial situation; while others make wildly impulsive purchases [that you later regret].

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Learn to put a positive spin on a perceived failure. With energy and enthusiasm, you can turn a pig’s ear into a silk purse! Savvy Virgos will devote extra time to improving family relationships or tackling overdue home renovations over the next two years, as Saturn saunters through your domestic zone.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Get ready for some family fiascos and relationship rumbles, as Mercury reverses through your sign for three weeks [from Friday]. So avoid bringing up controversial or sensitive subjects until a more suitable time. Courtesy of Saturn, prepare to undertake some serious study [over the next two years] as you discipline your mind, learn new skills, complete a degree or improve the way you communicate with others.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): If you’re not careful then an unreliable friend or questionable acquaintance could lead you astray. So keep your realism radar on high and avoid getting caught up in dubious daydreams. You’re in for a few hard financial lessons over the next two years, as Saturn stirs up your money zone. Smart Scorpios will budget wisely, and favour saving over spending.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Saturn moves back into Sagittarius on Friday, where it stays until December 2017. Saturn will send many challenges your way over the next two years. But, if you are smart, then you’ll learn some valuable life lessons and you will gradually mature – like a fine red wine.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Your ruler Saturn shifts into Sagittarius on Friday, which heralds a period when you’ll be more politically involved or philosophically-minded. But resist the urge to blame others when things go wrong. The only person who’s likely to sabotage your efforts over the next two years is you! So you need to get out of your own way … and trust your inner voice.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): The Mars/Uranus trine shakes up your crazy-brave streak, and your unpredictable side runs wild! But stirring others up [for your own amusement] will get you nowhere fast.

Arts & EvEnts

Chris Cran has a one-word an-swer when asked how he feels about being described as a “re-nowned artist.”

“Good” – followed by a lengthy pause and an infectious burst of laughter.

Raised in Salmon Arm, Cran has plenty to laugh about – a new ex-hibition of his work opened Friday at the Art Gallery of Alberta in Ed-monton and another one launches at the Southern Alberta Art Gallery in Lethbridge on Sept. 26.

On May 12, 2016, a collection of some 140 works from both ex-hibits will open at the National Art Gallery in Ottawa.

As well, Cran’s work, much of it with a playful twist, may be found in numerous private and public collections including the National Gallery of Canada, Canada House in London, England, the Glenbow Museum, the Nickle Arts Museum, and the Art Gallery of Alberta.

Cran is represented by Trépani-erBaer Gallery in Calgary, Clint Roenisch Gallery in Toronto, and Wilding Cran Gallery in Los Ange-les, which was founded by his son Anthony and wife Naomi Wilding.

Early in 2014, Cran received the prestigious Cultural Leaders Leg-acy Artist Award, established to honour artists who are lauded for their work in national and interna-tional arenas and choose to make Calgary their home.

Cran credits his longtime friend Herald Nix with setting his artistic course.

“He was painting from the age of 12 and I watched what he did,” Cran says. “He went to art school

at 15 and at some point he said, ‘why don’t you try this?’ I did and was hooked.”

Cran says Nix gave him some paint and canvas and, while he is dismissive of his initial efforts, he persevered.

At the same time, Cran enrolled in the Ontario Institute for Studies in Education with a career in film in mind, but says he soon realized if he was going to pursue a career in the arts, it wasn’t going to be with other people.

Recalling a childhood of playing and tinkering around in a big old barn on the family homestead re-minded Cran that he enjoyed doing what he wanted to do on his own.

Cran enrolled in the Kootenay School of the Arts in 1975 and remembers two important events that happened soon after – his fifth child was born and talented Shus-wap artist Steve Mennie shared his realist techniques.

“For my second year, I moved to the Calgary School of Art and Design and, to help pay the bills, I did portrait commissions… using techniques I learned from Steve,” he says, noting that life took anoth-er twist with a marriage breakup and a post-college job of reading water and electric meters for the City of Calgary. “I started doing more commissions and big self-portraits, and that’s what got my career started.”

The above photo was taken at last Friday’s opening at the Art Gallery of Alberta and comes with an amusing Cran story. He had been doing a series of self portraits in the late ’80s when Toronto busi-nessman Peter Boyd expressed an interest in his paintings.

“I had nothing available but

had this idea and he agreed, so he flew out from Toronto and I took all the photos I needed to work from,” laughs Cran, noting Boyd hung the 182.9-x-243.8-centimetre painting in his living room, facing a large window. “Cars would stop and look and one day someone knocked on the door and asked what was going on.”

Boyd later moved to Calgary and donated the painting to the University of Lethbridge Art Gal-lery, which has loaned the piece for Cran’s Edmonton exhibition.

After the self-portraits, Cran started striped paintings with half-tone dots – a series of big heads 9 feet by 6 feet in size.

“I found images that were half-an-inch or an inch in old pulp mag-azines and blew them up, so close up, you only see dots,” he says,

noting the viewer has to move far-ther away in order to see images

Next came a period of painting abstracts, followed by ink works where he was putting ink down and using an airbrush to blow the ink, or scraping or rolling.

Cran says the works begin to take on photographic qualities, a process he began to use to trick his viewer.

“I am trying to basically dupli-cate the photographic code…” he says, noting his excitement about people’s response. “They’d say it looks photographic and I’d say ‘Bingo!’

Cran has begun incorporating fine stencils of his own making into his art. When he’s had enough of cutting stencils, he picks up his paintbrush.

“When I do too much of one

thing, I will go back and do some abstracts and then come back to the stencils,” he says.

Inspiration for his art is primar-ily visual.

“There’s a world of inspiration. I am sitting on the fourth floor of the Art Gallery (of Alberta) and there are dots on the screens on the win-dows,” he says looking at the play between the screens and a building beyond. “I look at the building and the dots are huge and I think, how can I use that?”

It is his innate curiosity that leads Cran to continue to explore ways of creating art.

“I get an idea and then I can make it. And then I get to see it,” he says. “It’s got to do with the plea-sure of making… I never know what’s going to come next. It’s hard to beat.”

Rerun: Peter Boyd and Chris Cran pose in front of a painting Boyd commissioned Cran to paint in 1988 at the opening of the artist’s exhibition at Edmonton’s Art Gallery of Alberta Sept. 11.

Local talents got the chance to strut their musical stuff onstage in Shuswap Idol.

The popular fall fair feature was won by Shelley Desautels, who received $500 and an hour-long vocal coaching session at In the Groove Studio. In second place was Lena Arkell, who took home $250 and a gift certifi-cate from Dough Boyz, and third-place winner Elizabeth Joy received $125 and a Dough Boyz gift certificate.

Honourable men-tions and $50 were awarded to Carson Venne, Laura Close, Megan Abel and Me-gan Lauridsen.

Organizer Lori Ris-ling says Shuswap Idol contestants are scored up to 10 points on vo-

cal ability and another five points each on stage presence and au-dience reaction for a total of 20 points.

Judges for the three-day competition in-cluded Dave Byers, Sharon Fitzsimonds and Roxy Roth.

“Roxy was so im-pressed with how they (contestants) devel-oped over the week-end,” said Risling. “Everybody just nailed it on Sunday.”

Risling and husband Gil, who handles the technical side of the competition, will be back next year, even though running the contest involves a 12-hour drive from their Saskatchewan home.

“We’re going to put the singer songwriter award back into the mix,” says Risling, noting this year’s com-petition was so much

easier to organize, with 12 contestants in one category instead of 20. “I love doing it. I think giving them a chance to sing on a big stage and watching them grow is pretty reward-ing.”

Risling also arranges all the entertainment for the fair and says the list of performers has to be nailed down early for the fair schedule.

That works if every-one remains healthy and available.

But there were chal-lenges this year.

Adam Fitzpatrick had to cancel his Elvis tribute show because he and his wife are ex-pecting a baby anytime now.

Andrea Anderson had to leave Patsy Cline at home in Lake Country on Friday and Saturday because of laryngitis, but was well

enough by Sunday.“We asked Patrick

(Ryley) to do extra Hank Williams, and Betty Anne Northup of Dale Seaman and Highway 97 to step in for Andrea,” said Ris-ling.

“She went home and learned four Patsy Cline songs and did an incredible job. She had never played with our guys before, but she slipped in like a real professional.”

Already planning for next year’s annual competition, Risling says anyone who is in-terested in taking part in Shuswap Idol can send her an email at [email protected].

Auditions for the 2016 version of Shus-wap Idol will take place the week fol-lowing the Roots and Blues Festival.

NEED A NEW

JOB?NEED A NEW

JOB? &

Salmon Arm artist Justin Maas got an im-mediate reaction when he posted a sketch of a celebrity on Twitter last Thursday night.

The drawing shows comedian and Ameri-ca’s Got Talent judge Howie Mandel with many hands touching his head and the cap-tion, “Sometimes the judges ‘need a hand’ too.’”

“Justin Maas is great at drawing scary pic-tures,” posted Mandel on Instagram Friday morning.

Mandel suffers from mysophobia, a patho-logical fear of contami-nation or germs, to the point that he does not shake hands with any-one unless he is wearing latex gloves.

As of Tuesday morn-ing, the post had gar-nered 4,819 likes and 56 comments.

Maas, who has been a full-time professional illustrator, fine artist and graphic designer for nearly 20 years, teaches art courses at Okanagan College.

He has had a Twit-ter account for three years but has been using Facebook as the outlet for his art.

But about a month ago, Maas came across an article on social me-

dia and art and began tweeting his drawings.

“I started with (Scot-tish actor) Ewan Mc-Gregor,” says Maas. “He liked it and retweet-ed and it ended up in a Scottish newspaper.”

Maas says on nights when he is not painting, he has been doing ran-dom sketches of celeb-rities.

Before Mandel, Maas sketched America’s Got Talent judges Mel B and Heidi Klum be-cause his daughters love the show. And while the celebrities did not ac-knowledge his tweets,

the network did and Maas tweeted a sketch of the fourth judge, Howard Stern, on Fri-day morning.

“I am a nobody and I get 500 notifications a day, it’s almost over-whelming,” says Maas of social media. “It’s definitely an interesting outlet, I just haven’t got a handle on how it all works.”

Maas, who studied at the Art Institute of Chi-cago, UBC and earned a degree in visual com-munications at the Al-berta College of Art and Design, works primar-

ily in pastel, acrylic and watercolour and has been producing com-missioned pastel por-traits.

His work is on dis-play at various art gal-leries and other loca-tions in the Interior and has been sold to private collectors across North America, Europe and parts of South America.

Uncomfortable with the big-city pace, Maas moved to Salmon Arm eight years ago.

“It’s a good place, it’s been been good for the family and my career,” he says.

Tweet gets quick reaction

Twitter power: Local artist Justin Maas holds his sketch of Howie Mandel that drew a fast, overnight response from the co-median on Instagram.

Bruce HallJune 22, 1950-September 10, 2013

We thought of you with love today,But that is nothing new.We thought about you yesterday,And days before that too.We think of you in silence.We oft en speak your name.Now all we have is memories,And your picture in a frame.Your memory is our keepsake,With which we’ll never part.God has you in his keeping,We have you in our hearts.

~Th e Hall and Brigdenfamilies.

Auditions - Mt. Ida HarmonyJust over 75 years ago, about 20 men got to-gether in the rooftop gardens of a hotel in Tulsa, Oklahoma, to “just sing for fun.” They enjoyed the experience so much that the Barbershop Harmony Society was formed, and it has now beome the world’s greatest hobby, as well as the world largest all male singing association, with members participating in Barbershop Har-mony on every continent the world over!

For over 75 years now, the Barbershop Har-mony Society has made tremendous strides in their music learning techniques, so the ability to readily read music is not really necessary. All that is needed is the desire to sing together with a fun bunch of guys! Mount Ida Harmony is hoping to increase their numbers by holding “Auditions For Admission.”

So men, if you are over 14 years, and if you like to “sing in the shower,” you’ll love singing together with Mount Ida Harmony on Thurs-day, September 17 at the Community Room at Askew’s Uptown Store! No obligations! No commitments! No strings attached!

If you still have questions, please contact Ron Long 250-833-1972.
