It may be July, but snow
is the word that rever-
berates through Dina
Loeb’s head.
Her father, Jack Johnson,
died in Bastion Place Jan. 12
and Dina and her husband,
Bruce, believe his death was, at
least in part, a result of “snow-
ing” with the prescription
medication Seroquel, or Que-
tiapine, as it is also known.
Snowing is a colloquial term
for sedating an individual so
they are no longer intrusive or
distracting in their behaviour
or the sounds they make.
Seroquel is an anti-psychot-
ic drug, whose use has been
banned in the U.S. and for
which Health Canada issued
a risk communication in 2005,
advising health care profes-
sionals of the risk of giving
the drug to elderly patients
with dementia and has since
required that all manufactur-
ers of anti-psychotic drugs in-
clude warnings in their prod-
uct monographs.
Yet Johnson, who was diag-
nosed with dementia in 2003,
was prescribed Seroquel in
April 2011.
The Loebs maintain Bastion
Place and Interior Health offi -
cials have failed to respond ad-
equately to their concerns and
believe Johnson was inappro-
priately and over-medicated.
Dissatisfi ed by answers they
have so far received from Bas-
tion Place and Interior Health,
the Loebs wrote a letter to the
Ministry of Health on April 12
but were referred back to Inte-
rior Health.
Deborah Smith, residential
health services administrator
for Interior Health West, says
the health authority takes the
issue of medication very seri-
ously.
“All medications are pre-
scribed by a physician and we
have a least-restraint policy,”
she says, noting she under-
stood the Loebs were satis-
fi ed with what they heard at a
family meeting last fall. “We
use methods that are the least
intrusive and that maintain the
dignity of the residents.”
Dina describes her father
as “the most joyful man you
could ever meet,” and says he
and her mom Florence moved
in with the Loebs in 2010.
He had never showed any
signs of violence until last
spring.

Care concerns: Dina and Bruce Loeb look at a picture of Dina’s late father, who she says was over-medicated to help
keep him compliant while he was living at Bastion Place.
Federated selling to Gorman
By those involved, it’s being described as a
win-win-win situation.
Federated Co-operatives Limited gets to
divest itself of its forest products company,
Gorman Bros. Lumber Ltd. can enhance its
wood supply, and the more than 300 people
employed by Federated’s Canoe operation get
to keep their jobs and their wages.
Although it will likely be another two months
at least before the transaction is fi nalized, Fed-
erated Co-operatives Limited has offi cially
announced it has en-
tered into an agree-
ment to sell its Forest
Products Division
assets and operations
at Canoe to Gorman
Bros. Lumber Ltd.
of Westbank.
“It’s an excellent
opportunity for both
Gorman and Feder-
ated Cooperatives,”
said Darrell Embley,
Federated’s vice-
president of forest
products, noting that Federated has wanted a
buyer who would keep the operation running.
“They (Gorman) are great for the commu-
nity, they’re not in the business of shutting op-
erations down. We’re very, very pleased...”
Embley said Federated has been a good em-
ployer over time, but the federation doesn’t
need to own a forest products company in order
to supply forest products to its membership.
“It’s probably time to have this operation in
the hands of a forest company who understands
the business moving forward.”
Rick Scott, chief fi nancial offi cer with Gor-
man Bros. Lumber, said Federated’s “fi bre bas-
ket” or selection of timber, as well as its loca-
tion, matches well with Gorman’s operations
in the Okanagan and Revelstoke.

The group took a fl ight over Sicamous Thursday after Highway 97A was closed because of concerns there could be a second debris fl ow from Sicamous Creek. It was opened by noon after a geotech-nician confi rmed there was no imminent danger.
LACHLAN LABERE/OBSERVER
Gorman has lumber
operations in West-
bank and Revelstoke,
as well as a pole divi-
sion in Lumby. It also
has a reloading site in
Oroville, Wash. The
company employs
about 800 people in
B.C., including its log-
ging contractors.
Scott says Gorman
Bros. intends to retain
jobs as well as main-
taining wages and
working conditions.
“That’s the intent.
We’re still looking ev-
erything over, but we
don’t see any reason to
change.”
He said the company
will consider further
investment if necessary
to make the plant more
effi cient.
Federated’s For-
est Products Division
has operated in Canoe
since 1945.
The manufacturing
facilities have a capac-
ity of approximately
150 million board feet
of lumber and 150
million square feet of
plywood annually. The
sawmill shut down on
Dec. 21, 2007 because
of economic condi-
tions.
Embley, meanwhile,
who’s been with the
Canoe operation for
three years, says he’s
been asked to stay on
in a similar capacity,
which he is willing to
do. He’s pleased with
how his time in Canoe
has gone so far.
“There were major
concerns here about
the future of the divi-
sion – we lost the saw-
mill, and if we were to
lose the plywood plant
and the forestry opera-
tions...
“I’m very pleased
with my involvement
over the last three years
and what we’ve been
able to achieve. It is a
very good story.”
Continued from front
When a known drug dealer took off
after spotting police early last week,
the offi cer decided not to jeopardize
anyone’s safety by going after him in
a busy parking lot.
Police, instead, decided to wait un-
til they saw his vehicle again.
And they did, says Cpl. Luiz Sar-
dhina.
Between 7 and 9 p.m. on Thursday,
July 5, police arrested a man known
to them for traffi cking cocaine. Police
report that they watched the man com-
plete a drug deal outside his vehicle.
He was arrested and cocaine, cash
and a cell phone were seized. Soon
a text came in on the phone from a
number police were familiar with.
The man, who lives in the Shuswap,
had come up from Surrey and had
stopped at a local motel.
“He texted, we texted him back and
said, ‘Yeah, we’ll meet you behind
Tim Hortons,” said Sardhina.
They met him, where he didn’t get
what he was looking for. Instead, he
was arrested on outstanding domestic
violence charges and his crack co-
caine was seized.
“What we’re fi nding is dealers are
carrying everything. A lot of crack
cocaine, powder, meth and heroin,”
Sardinha explains. “It’s a one-stop
shop for most of these guys. It’s all
dial-a-dope, no crack shacks.”
He said a lot of dealers will use two
or three cell phones at a time. And a
lot of the arrests police are making are
out-of-towners.
Overall, the arrests seem to be tak-
ing their toll. Sardinha points out that
one potential buyer was angry with
police for cleaning up the streets.

Pitching in: Volunteers Danika Sholinder, Scott Linkowski, Brandy Hadley, Marianne Gardner and Cindy and Arianna Sholinder help clean up debris on Canoe Beach Saturday.
Canoe Beach remains closedA storm in the Shuswap
Monday night gave Salmon
Arm a miss.
And it looks like hot, sunny
beach weather is on tap for
the next fi ve days at least.
But, despite the current
heat wave, tourists and area
residents are going to have
to wait a while longer before
heading to the local beach.
“We’re hoping the worst-
case scenario is that we open
sometime next week, but
that’s all weather-dependent,”
said City of Salmon Arm
Public Works Manager John
Rosenberg Monday. “We’re
taking our cues from the prov-
ince and CSRD with regards
to opening our beach.”
Rosenberg offers high
praise to Marianne Gardner,
who operates Kontiki Cafe on
the beach, for her organiza-
tion of a clean-up event last
Saturday that involved more
than 30 volunteers and Feder-
ated Co-operatives.
Gardner says several truck-
loads of wood scraps, branch-
es, bark and logs were hauled
away, with the mill supplying
a three-ton truck that the vol-
unteers fi lled with debris.
“The mill, at no cost, hauled
the loads to their site through-
out the weekend and ran the
wood scraps through the chip-
per, recycling the seemingly
unusable fl otsam and jetsam,”
she said.
Volunteers fl oated the large
logs manually or by skiff to
the dock, ready for the mill’s
tug boat to tow them to the
mill Monday morning.

While he appreciates the efforts,
Rosenberg says he continues to have
concerns, including the boat launch,
which remains underwater and two
irrigation boxes whose lids have
come off.
“They’re underwater and if you
were to step in one you could break
your leg,” he said, noting a lot of the
wood debris contains nails. “The
city recognizes there are certainly
on-scene dangers. We don’t close
things lightly, there’s defi nitely rea-
sons.”
Rosenberg says other concerns in-
clude, the federal wharf, which has
a boat launch beside it and a sub-
merged concrete storm outlet pipe
that could easily take a boat propel-
ler out. “That’s a liability we’re not
prepared to take,” he says, noting
staff still hope the federal wharf that
rose off its pilings will settle back
down as the water recedes.
A roof that had been placed high
atop the pilings to prevent kids from
diving from them was vandalized or
stolen over the weekend.
“That’s probably $1,500 worth of
vandalism ,” he says. “It was there
Friday and gone Monday.”

Shuswap man jailed after crime spree
A Shuswap man was given
slightly more than a month in jail
for each of the 19 counts he plead-
ed guilty to in provincial court.
Jason Ross Cameron, 34, of
Celista, entered guilty pleas in
Salmon Arm Provincial Court on
July 3 to the 19 counts stemming
from incidents in Vernon, Salmon
Arm and Alberta, and was sen-
tenced to 21 months in jail.
Judge Edmond de Walle gave
Cameron jail time on all of the
counts, the highest being 21
months for a break-and-enter to
commit an indictable offence
charge, and ordered the counts be
served concurrently.
Cameron was given one day in
jail for a mischief charge out of
Vernon which stemmed from a
stolen truck being backed into the
front entrance of the Royal Bank
branch at The Shops at Polson
Park mall on April 9, 2011.
Cameron and another suspect
were caught by the bank’s surveil-
lance cameras. It’s believed the
pair were trying to take the facil-
ity’s ATM machine.
The truck later damaged nearby
businesses with a swinging chain
after it fl ed the scene.
Cameron was part of a group of
four people arrested near Salmon
Arm two days later after the truck
was stopped by RCMP using a
spike belt following a short chase.
Cameron’s Salmon Arm of-
fences included guilty pleas to
two counts of possession of sto-
len property over $5,000, break-
and-enter with intent to commit
an indictable offence, fl ight from
a peace offi cer and one breach of
conditions.
He also pleaded guilty to 13
counts of break-and-enter, pos-
session of stolen property and
breaches from incidents in Dray-
ton Valley, Castor, Evansburg and
Tomahawk, Alta.

OPINION
SALMON ARM OBSERVER
Editorial
When mitigating the effects of a natural calamity,
mistakes are bound to be made.
On the evening of June 23, when devastating debris
fl ows occurred in Sicamous’ Two Mile subdivision
and at Swansea Point, there was an immediate effort
– much of it voluntary – to evacuate affected residents
to safety.
Among those evacuated were houseboaters from out
of province who lost their vehicles and other personal
belongings in the torrent.
How they were dealt with at the evacuation centre
has since come into question, following reports from
individuals who claim they were treated unfairly, and
that no help was made available to them.
Subsequent to such stories hitting the media, com-
ment boards on Alberta websites have been ablaze
with rhetoric, painting the entire province of British
Columbia as unfriendly to, and discriminatory against
Albertans.
Such generalizations are obviously untrue, particu-
larly when it comes to Sicamous, where Albertans
aren’t just visitors, they’re essentially fellow Sicamou-
sians.
Sicamous’ mayor and the B.C. government have ac-
knowledged that mistakes were made regarding out-
of-province evacuees, and offi cials have assured that
these errors are being addressed, and those unfairly
impacted will be looked after.
Any loss suffered as a result of the incidents in Si-
camous and Swansea Point is lamentable, and cer-
tainly no one needing help should have been treated
differently than anyone else.
It is unfortunate that mistakes were made. Mistakes,
by nature, are unintentional and, unfortunately, bound
to happen when many people are suddenly pulled to-
gether in reaction to a natural disaster. People don’t
always behave well under extreme stress.
What matters now is learning from our mistakes and
making sure they don’t happen again.
And that appears to be what is happening.
Learning from very human mistakes
New low in telemarketingMarketing, like politics, can be very dirty.
Until recently, the telemarketer that raised my ire the most is
the aggressive-voiced female, who frequently leaves messages
on my answering machine. She launches into a diatribe about
how my credit rating is at stake if I don’t attend to it – fast. In a
less aggressive voice, she says there is nothing wrong with my
credit rating, but it could be even better if I push some button or
other. I don’t remember the number because, by now, I have usu-
ally slammed the phone down.
This, to me, is marketing in its lowest form.
While my credit rating is indeed fi ne now, I have over my
lifetime been in situations when things were tight, times when
creditors, who had been so willing to lend were fast to demand
immediate payment. I can remember the heart-thudding, stom-
ach-clenching humiliation of those calls.
So, even though I know I am fi nancially fi ne, these calls trigger
unpleasant memories and I can well imagine how this telemar-
keter’s call could affect someone who is under fi nancial duress.
And I have a new gripe.
I am well-aware of the risks of Internet shopping and am very
careful. I know that if I browse some sites, I will receive a spate
of emails from places I’ve never heard of, trying to sell me some-
thing. That’s OK, because they’re gone in one click of the delete
button. Unfortunately, other marketers are not so easy to shake.
I have had a couple of major department store cards for more
years than I’d like to admit, and for the most part, have had no
reason to complain. Not any more.
Sometime in March – after 9 p.m., when I was deep in a game
of Words With Friends, my phone rang. The man on the other
end identifi ed himself as a representative of one of these compa-
nies. He offered me membership in a program that would bring
me huge savings in a variety of stores.
“No thank you, I am not interested,” I told him, anxious to
return to my game.
But, he waxed poetical, promised a package of valuable cou-
pons would be coming my way and, if I wasn’t totally satisfi ed,
a phone call within 30 days would cancel my membership, with-
out charge. Stupidly, I accepted, then promptly forgot about the
call, the package and the membership. When I use this card, I im-
mediately pay the bill with my bank card, so the payment shows
up on the bill above the charges. Imagine then, my surprise to see
two month’s of charges, charges that brought back memories of
that rainy night in March and the fact the promised package had
never arrived.
A call to the company revealed that the man who sold me the
package was not a representative of the card-holding company.
“So, you don’t want us to give your name to third-party mar-
keters, you want us to take you off the list?” he asked.
Wait a minute! I don’t ever remember giving anyone permis-
sion to share my info. Getting out of the program with a full
refund was a convoluted hassle.
At least I think I got out. Next month’s bill will tell the tale.

Adding a little humour to high water woes
Swimmer’s itch now spreading
Fishing at McGuire Lake going to be missed
Western grebes are a tourist at-
traction at Salmon Arm Bay. Three
to four weeks ago you may have
heard, and seen, a chorus of west-
ern grebes just east of the band-
stand in the area which was fi lled
with tall grass and water. You may
have noticed that the grebes are not
nesting in that area now. SABNES
members monitoring the grebes’
activities counted 47 nests at that
time, and about 90 grebes. Two
days after that count, the rising lake
water levels and possibly wind, de-
stroyed all the nests. Some nests
had contained eggs.
Now, the grebes are nesting
again, and likely their nests will
survive as the lake water levels
stabilize. But, SABNES members
have seen people in kayaks and
other people-powered boats going
into the grebes’ nesting areas.
SABNES requests that everyone
ensure they are not disturbing the
nesting birds. If the birds move
away when approached, you are
too close. Please refrain from both-
ering the nesting grebes, and their
young.
Salmon Arm Bay is one of very
few places in B.C. where a western
grebe colony has success raising
families. Please help to make their
efforts successful. Mother nature
has been giving the grebes enough
challenges. They don’t need more.
Salmon Arm Bay Nature En-
hancement Society is the custodian
of the Bay and its wildlife popula-
tions for the Ministry of the Envi-
ronment and Nature Trust. Please
respect the grebes, and their nest-
ing sites.

For those who are able to keep their sense
of humour in this time of high-water troubles,
here’s something light and funny.
Top 10 Reasons to be happy about the high
water:
10. There are no campers or houseboats on
the beach in front.
9. The logs in the lake provide you with an
endless supply of fi rewood.
8. All those mooring buoys that used to ruin
your view are now underwater.
7. No more mowing the lawn.
6. You always wanted that swimming pool in

At the June 25 council meeting I was sur-
prised at the general lack of concern regarding
health hazards with regard to the proposed lo-
cation of another cell tower in Salmon Arm.
Thank you to Ken Jamieson and Marg Ken-
tel who spoke convincingly for the need for
caution about the proliferation of more and
varied frequencies.
I was dismayed at council’s eagerness to
add to the wireless smog because children
and youth are demanding this technology. I
thought adults were duty-bound to protect our
vulnerable children in order to ensure them a
safe and worthwhile future. And news of mon-
ey from Telus for a children’s park sounded
like bribery to me.
I applaud Marg Kentel’s efforts to have the
towers located further out of town, although
the signals would be ramped up high enough
to reach our core anyway. The Telus repre-
sentative said that towers are monitored to
ensure safe levels. But when I asked about
monitoring equipment, she said she didn’t
think so; her statement was based on the com-
puter-generated projected estimate of emis-
sions. So there’s no actual monitoring, but
a “guarantee” of safety? This does not add
up for me!
I concur with the councillors question-
ing more towers in Salmon Arm when there
are areas that have no cell service along the
Trans-Canada. Towers in these “dead” areas
would be much more helpful for emergency
calls (Telus’ stated “benefi t” to our citizens).
We already have suffi cient power for cells
phones. What’s the hidden agenda?
Biological health effects (including nausea,
dizziness, headaches, sleeplessness, heart pal-
pitations, skin rashes, nerve and muscle stim-
ulation causing Parkinson-like symptoms, Al-
zheimer’s, and even cancer) have been found
at a mere 1/10,000 of Canada’s standards.
I am thoroughly convinced that we need
much more independent research before we
expose our young citizens to further electro-
magnetic radiation.

Cell phone tower should be reconsidered
I often walk around McGuire Lake and
am sorry that I will no longer see the young
people enjoying fi shing on the dock. My
son and I have hooked painted turtles in the
Okanagan, and last year my two grandchil-
dren each caught one on McGuire lake. All
were returned unharmed.
Mr. Crowley said in earlier letters, when
trout stocking was proposed, the trout
couldn’t survive in the lake. When he was
proved wrong he jumped onto the painted
turtle bandwagon.
Yes, we have to protect our wildlife, but
if a turtle is crushed by an ambulance going
to/from the hospital I don’t think it would
be reasonable to close the road to traffi c.
I believe closing McGuire Lake to fi shing
because one turtle was hooked and released
unharmed is also unreasonable.
Fishing is an excellent way to relax and
refl ect on what is going on in our busy lives.
Being in the outdoors is also good for our
health and often sociable. I have just re-
turned from Europe where millions of men,
women and children participate in catch-and
-release fi shing.
I imagine Mr. Crowley would like to put a
stop to that – what a killjoy!

It seems with all the fl ooding and high
water there is a large increase in “duck itch”
or “swimmer’s itch. I feel the public should
be aptly warned. Here is an article from BC
Health. http://www.healthlinkbc.ca/health-
fi les/hfi le52.stm
I have found that applications of water-
proof SPF 60 will help.
If bitten, then applications of Lanacane
will relieve the itch.

Plea for protection of nests
Salmon Arm Observer Wednesday, July 11, 2012 www.saobserver.net A7
1919 Salmon Arm was pre-
paring for a mammoth peace celebration,
featuring parades, speeches, sports, a picnic,
open air concert and fi nally fi reworks. It was
to be held this Sunday at McGuire Grove
near the wharf.
Charlie Chaplin was starring in Shoulder Arms at the Rex.
1929 A tree being cut alongside
the highway to Enderby, about two miles
from town, knocked down hydro wires and
started a forest fi re. Crews worked through
the afternoon to quell the blaze.
The Observer reported there had been 45
outbreaks of forest fi res in the Shuswap area
in the preceding fi ve days.
1939 The chamber of commerce
criticized local councils for missing opportu-
nities to attract industry to Salmon Arm.
Harry Leonard was hospitalized when a
log he was sawing released and struck him
across the neck.
G.G. Edwardson was speaker at a dinner in
Sicamous businessmen called to explore the
possibilities of establishing branches of the
St. John Ambulance Association.
1949 Village and district coun-
cils were informed by B.C. Power Com-
mission offi cials no rate reductions would
be possible until the Watshan plant was in
operation.
V.J.Wood, noted artist in wood, left after 25
years residence to live on Vancouver Island.
1959 The hospital board, this
week received a $97,000 cheque from the
federal government, 75 per cent of the fed-
eral share of Salmon Arm’s new hospital.
A crowd of more then 2,000 turned out to
welcome Queen Elizabeth and Prince Phillip
who stopped for 20 minutes in Sicamous.
Among those presented to the royal pair by
Justice Minister E.D.Fulton were: Mr. and
Mrs. J.J. Carmichael., Mayor and Mrs. Vic-
tor Nancollas, Reeve and Mrs. E.C. Turner,
Enderby mayor J.B. Smith, Mr. and Mrs.
Harry Stepp.

LIFE & TIMESLIFE & TIMESBeing a good neighbour is
more than just words at First
United Church.
Thanks to a $15,000 grant
from the United Church of
Canada, $5,000 in Redi-BC
money through Community
Futures and in-kind support
from groups and individuals, the
Mary Thomas Sanctuary will
take a $50,000 leap forward.
Church funding is the result
of an idea put forward by local
church member Martha Scales
and enthusiastically endorsed
by Kay Braby.
“Meeting our Aboriginal
Neighbours Again for the First
Time – Ancient Secwepemc
Wisdom Meets Contemporary
Science” is another piece of
a puzzle Mary’s descendants
are trying to complete, says
her daughter Bonnie, who is
thrilled and emotional that her
late mother’s goal of bridging
the gap between aboriginal and
non-aboriginal people has the
backing of so many.
Other goals include
increasing awareness of the
Salmon River delta from a First
Nations perspective, including
compilation of a data base
of traditional knowledge and
known science.
GIS maps will show the
location of traditional plants,
medicines and provide a visual
and interpretive guide.
The Switzmalph Cultural
Society, BC Environmental
Farm Plan and Department
of Fisheries and Oceans
will tackle delta restoration,
incorporating Secwepemc
traditional knowledge and land-
use management.
A workshop to provide
educational and training
opportunities for community
members to learn about
Secwepemc history, culture
and values.
University of Victoria ethno-
botanist Nancy Turner, with
whom Mary worked tirelessly
on native plants, has donated
$5,000 in hours and expertise.
The Environmental Farm Plan
has promised $20,000 and the
Neskonlth Indian Band another
$5,000.
“This was
initiated by the
United Church,
but we want whole
community to
feel welcome and
take part,” says
Scales, who came
up with the idea
on a drive home
from a presbytery
meeting.
Braby and
Scales envisioned
a contribution to
the Mary Thomas
Cultural Centre, but
were enthusiastic
supporters of changing the focus
to the Secwepemc village.
“We were struggling about
how to approach the plants and
merging the cultural with the
scientifi c when Dorothy Argent
phoned and said, ‘I think this is
a wonderful opportunity,’” says
Bonnie. “I was thinking, wow,
everything has been coming
just when it’s needed.”
Bonnie says the project
takes Mary’s belief in opening
your arms and your hearts to
healing.
“My mother
spoke often about
the importance
of having that
spiritual healing
and what better
way to do that
than partner
with the church,”
she says. “It’s
amazing to have
all these people
coming together
in one project.
I wouldn’t be
surprised if it
was the fi rst of its
kind.”
On-board with
letters of support for the project
were the Shuswap Nation Tribal
Council, local bands, DFO,
the province, City of Salmon
Arm, WA:TER, Shuswap Trail
Alliance, Shuswap Tourism
and Turner.
“What really impressed
Martha and I was Bonnie and
Dorothy,” says Braby. “They
were not interested in looking
back but looking forward.”
While that may be true,
Bonnie, who says it is important
to look back at Mary’s life and
the work she did with Turner
to provide a First Nations
perspective on what the delta
should look like.
Alex Inselberg (?) is working
with Neskonlith, looking at
the delta from an ecosystem
perspective.
“I love that because it talks
about how it all fi ts together,
and that means how we are
all connected,” she says. “And
the future is documenting
the restoration that needs to
happen as well as identifying
the sanctuary and the need for
future partners.”
Argent, a dear friend to the
Thomas family and longtime
member of the Switzmalph
Cultural Society adds the
support from United Church
is also helping the eco-cultural
tourism initiative that’s going to
support jobs and employment
for the community.
“It’s going to be an eduction
centre and a tourist attraction,”
she says enthusiastically.
And there is need and room
for many volunteers.
A bag-lunch meeting will be
held at noon Sunday, July 15 in
the church hall.
Following a project, overview,
volunteers will be invited to
sign up for various tasks –
helping with restoration work,
volunteering at workshops,
technical support, traditional
knowledge and science, and
more.
The church will hold a
workshop Sept. 22 to promote
healing and understanding.
And a traditional gathering at
the Secwepemc village site will
take place for Rivers Day Sept.
30.
Bridge gets fi rmer foundation
Good neighbours: Martha Scales and Kay Braby meet with Dorothy Argent and Bonnie Thomas.
My mother spoke often about the
importance of having that spiritual healing and what better way
to do that than partner with the
church.

Dina says shortly
after her father began
taking Seroquel, he
became angry and agi-
tated.
On April 26, 2011,
Johnson was reacting
angrily to a painting
hanging on the wall at
the Loebs’ home. His
reaction to Dina’s in-
tervention was to take a
swing at her.
Because violence was
involved, the Loeb’s
911 call was answered
by police, who took
Johnson to Shuswap
Lake Hospital.
One month later on
May 26, Johnson was
transferred to Bastion
Place.
This was against the
Loebs’ wishes. The
couple, and Johnson’s
wife, Florence, wanted
him to go to another
facility but say IH told
them he needed to be
admitted to the secure
ward at Bastion be-
cause of his worsening
dementia.
“They took him to
hospital where they in-
creased his meds, then
he went to Bastion,”
says a distraught Dina.
“When he went in there,
he was still walking,
talking, dressing and
feeding himself. Within
10 days, he wasn’t do-
ing any of that.”
In early October, a
Bastion care aide re-
portedly told Dina her
dad had been “snowed”
because he had urinated
in a corner.
“It’s the fi rst time I
heard the term and she
(care aide) told me,
‘when they’re agitated,
we give them more
medication. Your dad
peed in the corner so
we snowed him.’”
Dina says a nurse at
the hospital confi rmed
the term and told her it
is common practice.
Shortly before this
incident, Dina says her
mom had received a call
from Interior Health
advising a care aide
had witnessed a nurse
forcefully giving her
father medication and a
hypodermic needle had
been found in his bed.
The family was told
these incidents were
being investigated.
Doctors and a num-
ber of Bastion staff
members met with the
family, a session that in-
cluded a teleconference
link with Dina’s sister
Dyan in Edmonton.
“What was unique in
that meeting was they
admitted they were cut-
ting back on the Sero-
quel,” says Bruce.
“They said they
didn’t know anything
about ‘snowing’ and
that they were proud
to say their medicated
clientele is less than the
national average.”
Adds a tearful Dina,
“they said Dad was
quite happy, moving
around, scooting here
and there, but in reality,
he was stiff as a board,
mouth gaping, eyes
rolled back, not know-
ing anyone.”
In response to con-
cerns about the syringe
and medications being
forced on Johnson, the
Loebs were told that the
nurse was on suspen-
sion and the care aide
“was too young and too
inexperienced to have
an opinion.”
“There was no news
other than disciplin-
ary measures had been
taken, no satisfactory
explanation of what
was in it (the syringe)
or who gave it,” says
Bruce.
While Interior Health
would not speak di-
rectly to Johnson’s
case, Smith said large
syringes are sometimes
used to measure medi-
cation, which is then
transferred to a cup and
administered by mouth
to patients who have
diffi culty swallowing.
IH policy dictates
that if a patient refuses
medicine, staff does not
force the medication,
but enters the informa-
tion on the patient’s
chart so everyone is
aware of the situation.
However, Dina says
their family doctor told
them using medication
to manage patients is a
provincial policy.
Dr. Warren Bell, a
Salmon Arm physician
who was not involved
in Johnson’s care, con-
curs with this assess-
ment. He notes that
although anti-psychotic
drugs have been banned
because there has been
a small but clear-cut in-
crease in deaths among
people who take them,
he believes cost of care
is the fundamental is-
sue.
“That’s the trade-off
that is made between
increased staffi ng and
better control of patient
behaviour; you don’t
have staff, you have
higher levels of drug
use among residents,”

he says. “Staff cost a lot
more than drugs, and
staff are supported by
unions with which the
current government has
a very stormy relation-
ship, whereas drugs are
made by large corpo-
rate entities with which
the government has a
very comfortable rela-
tionship.”
Smith says staffi ng is
standardized at all IH
West sites but if a facil-
ity requires extra staff
they get it.
“If a facility has a
circumstance, they let
me know and we see
that they get what they
need,” she says. “I’m
not on the site, so very
often the approval for
the funding will come
after the fact. Each site
is aware, they put in the
care and we approve the
paperwork afterward.”
But Bell also points
to society in general and
says drugs are accepted
and used freely.
“Probably we need to
do a big re-think in the
area of psychotherapy,”
he says. “When people
point fi ngers, they tend
to point elsewhere. The
diffi culty here is that it’s
a systemic issue – no-
body’s got clean hands
and nobody is 100 per
cent guilty.”
A June 11 email to
the Observer from the
Ministry of Health indi-
cates that the province
is also taking the issue
of anti-psychotic medi-
cation seriously.
“We know anti-psy-
chotic medications are
one of many important
tools clinicians use
to help care for those
with dementia,” says
the email, and while
the province relies on
physicians to make de-
cisions based on what
is best for their patients,
the ministry conducted
a review into the use of
antipsychotic drugs in
residential care.
Recommendations
from the review are be-
ing utilized to develop
a set of “province-wide
guidelines for antipsy-
chotic drug use in resi-
dential care to ensure
clinicians have guid-
ance on how and when
to use anti-psychotic
medications.”
According to Health
Canada, anti-psychotic
medications should not
be used for anyone with
dementia.
While their 2005 risk
communication warned
of the effect of anti-psy-
chotic medications on
the elderly with demen-
tia, Health Canada con-
fi rms that, “with the ex-
ception of Risperdal, no
anti-psychotic (atypical
or typical) is approved
for use in patients with
dementia in Canada, in-
cluding Seroquel.”
Health Canada notes
the use of atypical an-
ti-psychotic drugs in
elderly patients with
dementia-related psy-
chosis is associated
with a 1.6 per cent fold
increase in death rate
in drug-treated patients
compared to those on
placebo, and that most
of the deaths “were re-
lated to heart-related
events (e.g. heart fail-
ure, sudden death).”
The Loebs have been
told Johnson’s death
was attributed to heart
failure.
Dina put in a request
in mid May for a com-
plete list of her father’s
medications. She has yet
to have a response. But
Smith says she is sur-
prised their request for
information was not
fulfi lled and suggests
the family call Bastion
or herself to pursue the
matter.
While she is uncom-
fortable speaking to
the use of medications
which are prescribed by
physicians, Smith says
considerable review has
been conducted about
their use and oversight
at Bastion.
The last event the
Loeb family celebrated
with Johnson was held
at Bastion Place Dec.
19, Jack and Florence’s
59th wedding anniver-
sary.
“Unbeknownst to us,
he couldn’t swallow,
not even a sip of juice,”
says a tearful Dina, not-
ing staff called two days
before her dad’s death
to advise her he was
being taken to hospital
because he was no lon-
ger able to eat or drink
anything.
That is when she be-
gan to investigate the
side effects of Seroquel
and also, she says, when
several frontline health-
care givers asked, even
begged, her to speak up
about snowing on be-
half of others.
“There’s people in
there who are caring,
compassionate care pro-
viders and those who
have no compassion
and lack love in their
hearts,” says Bruce.
“I would like them to
clean up their act, to
take some responsibil-
ity for their actions and
step down on people if
they have to.”

After months of ne-
gotiations, a goal for a
better future has been
established.
Members of each
First Nation in School
District #83, as well as
representatives from the
district’s school board,
were present on July 3
for the offi cial signing
of the Local Education
Agreement contract.
Although there were
rocky points in the pro-
cess, those involved
were satisfi ed with the
result.
“That kind of effort
is unique,” says Dave
Witt, superintendent of
schools.
Chief Nelson Leon of
the Adams Lake Indian
Band, remarked: “It was
a matter of taking con-
trol. In the past we have
not had a great relation;
this program has helped
us turn that around and
build a good, successful
relationship.”
The education agree-
ment is traditionally
made between school
districts, all local First
Nations communities
and the Ministry of Ed-
ucation. The program
was formed to help in-
crease the number of
native students who
successfully graduate
high school, as well as
provide better quality
learning about the cul-
tures of local bands.
The main goal for
the new agreement was
to design a way to not
only increase the rates
of First Nations stu-
dents who receive their
high school certifi cate,
but to also help more
students earn their Dog-
wood certifi cate.
Consensus on the new
agreement was achieved
on June 28, establishing
the changes and goals to
be adapted and worked
towards over the next
fi ve years.
One band represen-
tative stated that in the
future, he would like
to see more history on
residential schools be-
ing integrated into the
school’s regular cur-
riculum.
Tammy Thomas, who
represented the Neskon-
lith band during the con-
tract signing, said, “It
has been great to work
as a team. It showed us
some challenges, but
ultimately we came out
on top.”
The contracts are re-
newed every fi ve years.
Happy to have teachers contract
Goals established: Members of the Neskonlith, Splatsin, Little Shuswap and Adams Lake bands and School District #83 school board trustees, sign the new Aboriginal Edu-cation Enhancement Agreement on July 3.
Local school trustees are among
those who raised their hands for a
new pact with teachers.
Both the North Okanagan-Shus-
wap and Vernon school boards were
among those who voted for a two-
year contract with teachers.
School District #83 board chair
Bobbi Johnson, Salmon Arm chair-
person, said she is glad they were
able achieve a new contract, though
she wouldn’t say if she is satisfi ed
with what was ultimately decided
upon.
“This is what we got, and this is
what we will work with,” said John-
son. “Both sides probably wanted
something more, but we negotiated
this, and we are just happy to have
a contract.”
There was no discussion on extra-
curricular activities in schools when
districts voted last Wednesday.
Johnson says all extra-curricular
activities remain in control of the in-
dividual teacher.
The school board does not have
the ability to force teachers to vol-
unteer their time, she says. This
does not necessarily mean there will
be no after-school soccer games or
band classes for students. If teachers
would like to donate their time, they
are permitted to do so.
As for next year, Johnson says all
other activities will return to normal
and, come September, teachers will
be meeting with parents and send-
ing out report cards as they normally
would.
The district chair described the
entire contract agreement process as
being “very long.”
“We have to fi nd a way to do it that
doesn’t take so long,” says Johnson,
“but there are issues that need to be
solved and that takes time.”
Johnson hopes that a quicker,
more effi cient process can be estab-
lished in the future.
Bill Turanski, Vernon chairperson,
says there are other things that could
have been achieved and even more
that should be worked towards.
“We appreciate that there’s some
resolution but other issues are still
back there,” said Turanski, adding
there are a number of things still to
be negotiated.
While the agreement, which has
also been ratifi ed by teachers, dealt
with issues like benefi ts, there was
no resolution on wages, class size or
class composition. Turanski expects
the next round of talks will be dif-
fi cult because the outstanding items
place fi nancial pressures on districts,
while the government is not provid-
ing any new funding. However, he
is optimistic based on the new con-
tract.
“Both parties have learned some-
thing — that we can come to an
agreement. Perhaps that will be an
incentive,” said Turanski.

Jonathan Avis has
spent many years study-
ing late into the night,
and even more hours
working and volunteer-
ing in the legal fi eld.
For Avis, all his hard
work has fi nally paid
off.
Salmon Arm’s new-
est addition to its legal
community was hon-
oured July 4, during a
call to the bar ceremony
held at the Salmon Arm
Law Courts.
The event was an
honour in itself.
The traditional cer-
emony is normally held
in Vancouver and Victo-
ria with a large group of
people, and very rarely
in smaller communities
for a single person.
Not even retired judge
Ted Brecknell can recall
the last time a ceremony
of this type was held in
Salmon Arm, or if it
ever was.
Thirty-three year-
old Avis studied at
Malaspina Univer-
sity College, where he
achieved his bachelor
of arts with distinction
in political science and
philosophy in 2007.
Avis continued his
university career by at-
tending the law program
at the University of Brit-
ish Columbia.
He began working for
Verdurmen & Company
Law Corporation for
the summer of 2010 as
a second-year law stu-
dent as part of the Rural
Education and Access
to Lawyers program.
This program helps
to provide funding to
companies, allowing
students like Avis to
gain needed experience,
while offering legal ser-
vices to rural areas that
otherwise may have in-
suffi cient means.
Avis was later asked
to return article with the
fi rm – another step in
becoming a lawyer.
Avis has since ac-
cepted an invitation to
work with Verdurmen
& Company as a full-
time lawyer.
The large amount of
time Avis has invested in
Salmon Arm is largely
what led to the request
that his call to the bar
ceremony be held here
as well.
The ceremony itself
was simple, but it’s sig-
nifi cance and meaning
were clear.
Dressed in formal
garb, a group of lawyers
and judges were pre-
sented, as well as many
of Avis’ closest support-
ers.
Avis was required to
take an oath, one which
lawyer Ken Walker, the
area’s elected “bench-
er,” advised spectators
to pay close attention
to.
The oath reminded
Avis that becoming a
lawyer brings with it a
new kind of power and
many challenges.
But if he makes the
correct decisions he can
impact the world posi-
tively, said Walker.
Above all, Avis must
adhere to the highest
level of integrity at all
times.
As part of the cer-
emony’s tradition, Avis
was presented to Justice
Joel Groves, a Supreme
Court judge.
He bestowed some of
his own advice on Avis.
“You should be proud
of our system and what
it stands for,” said
Groves. “You should do
whatever you can to ad-
vance it.”
He reminded Avis
that from now on, he
will be subjected to
“unrelenting scrutiny by
public and media,” and
that he should endlessly
work towards obtaining
the “ability to disagree
without being disagree-
able.”
Groves advised Avis
that he will not always
know the answers, but
encouraged him to ask
questions and seek ad-
vice from others in the
profession.
The judge told Avis
to do what he can to live
a healthy life and, more
importantly, “be proud
of yourself. You deserve
it.”

A Shuswap Lake
Hospital team has won
an award for thinking
fast.
FAST is an acronym
for face, arms, speech
and time in terms of
recognizing and treat-
ing strokes.
It signifi es a series of
symptoms health-care
providers have been
trained to look for and
address as quickly as
possible.
“Does the face look
uneven? Simply ask
someone to smile.
Does one arm drift
down? Ask them to
raise both arms. Does
their speech sound fun-
ny? Ask them to say
‘You can’t teach an old
dogs new tricks,’” says
Dorothy Crandall, pa-
tient care co-ordinator
for critical care, who
has taken on the role
of co-ordinating a new
stroke initiative.
T is for time, to just
be aware of the time,
because time is the
brain and you need to
get help as close to the
onset as possible,” she
says.
Shuswap Lake Hos-
pital has been part of
a provincial initiative
on stroke care since its
inception last Septem-
ber.
Communities from
every health author-
ity have been involved
with the goal of bring-
ing people together
and making them more
aware – and sharing
the information.
“We work in our own
sites but share with all
members of the initia-
tive in order to bring
great care to all Brit-
ish Columbians,” says
Crandall. “Our team is
a physician, two nurse
educators and two
RNs.”
Each fi ve-person
team belongs to a pro-
vincial collaborative,
with teams looking at
how improvements can
be made at their own
sites then sharing the
results with the other
teams.
“In Shuswap Lake,
we identifi ed a need
for a quick-trigger
system in triage,” says
Crandall, noting a
large poster describing
the symptoms of stroke
hangs on a wall in the
triage section of the
emergency ward.
There are two types
of strokes and discern-
ing which is which is
essential to the kind of
treatment a person re-
ceives.
Clot-busting drugs
can save lives and re-
duce damage to peo-
ple with thrombolytic
strokes, but only within
a few hours of the ini-
tial onset, says Cran-
dall.
In order to give
stroke victims the best
care possible, Crandall
says family members
are encouraged to go
to the hospital with the
patient in order to pro-
vide information about
when the person ap-
peared to be normal.
“The information
can change when stress
is reduced,” says Cran-
dall, noting that people
in crisis may call 911
and in their panic, for-
get to provide a critical
piece of information
– something that may
come to them once
their loved one is in
care.
As well as training
a team of stroke-savvy
nurses in triage, the
team is taking stroke
education to other
fl oors in the form of
moveable boards con-
taining vital informa-
tion – information that
is also being provided
to local doctors’ of-
fi ces.
“We’re trying to
make the public aware
so they know the
symptoms, for them-
selves and for anyone
else they may be with,”
says Crandall.
These include:
• Weakness – a sud-
den loss of strength or
feeling in the face, arm
or leg, even if it’s tem-
porary.
• Sudden trouble
speaking or under-
standing, or confusion,
even if it’s temporary
• Sudden trouble
with vision, even if it’s
temporary.
• Sudden severe and
unusual headache.
• Sudden loss of bal-
ance – especially with
any of the above symp-
toms.
• Dizziness
“When we live in
rural areas, it’s the
challenge of getting
someone here and then
getting them to Royal
Inland,” she says.
Shuswap patients,
who can benefi t from
the treatment, are sent
to Kamloops where the
clot-busting drugs are
administered under the
direction of a neurolo-
gist, something Salm-
on Arm does not have
at this time.
Equally important is
the need for special-
ized care following
administration of the
drug, says Crandall.
Crandall would also
like to get the word
out that Royal Inland
Hospital operates a
Transient Ischemic At-
tack (TIA) clinic for
people who have “mini
strokes” that resolve
themselves.
People who have
had a TIA can go to the
clinic for assessment in
terms of risks for a full-
blown stroke and how
to avoid having one.
Crandall says the
team has received a lot
of positive feedback –
including a provincial
award for making the
most signifi cant im-
provement of all par-
ticipating teams.
“We work hard and
we’ve done a lot of
staff education,” she
says, emphasizing
again, “from attack to
treatment it’s how to
get the best care as fast
as possible.”

Suggestions for healthy barbecue meals
Summer has arrived
and for many people
this means barbecue
season. Barbecuing is
easy, tasty and does not
heat up your house. Un-
fortunately, eating too
many barbecued meats
may have some health
risks. Grilling protein
foods such as meat and
fi sh creates two kinds of
chemical compounds
that may contribute to
cancer: heterocyclic
amines (HCAs) and
polycyclic aromatic hy-
drocarbons (PAHs).
HCAs are created in
meat when it’s cooked
at a high tempera-
ture. While frying and
broiling produce these
chemicals as well,
charred barbecued
meat contains the most
HCAs. The second type
of compound, PAHs,
are formed when juices
from the meat drip onto
the hot coals and cre-
ate smoke. This smoke
contains carcinogens,
which can then be de-
posited onto the surface
of meat.
In animal studies,
both HCAs and PAHs
have been shown to
cause cancer in organs
including the stomach,
colon, liver and skin.
There are also some
observational studies in
humans showing a link
between consuming a
lot of grilled and well-
done meats with cancer.
I know what you
are thinking… what
doesn’t cause cancer
these days?
Likely, the small can-
cer risk associated with
grilling meat doesn’t
mean you need to forgo
hamburgers, hot dogs
and steaks altogether,
but like all good things,
eat in moderation. You
may also want to con-
sider the following tips:
• Clean your grill be-
fore cooking – this will
remove any charred de-
bris that could stick to
your food.
• Cut off and discard
badly charred pieces of
meat.
• Precook meat slight-
ly (such as microwav-
ing them for a minute)
before grilling – this
reduces the amount of
time the food is on the
grill and allows some of
the juices to drain, de-
creasing PAHs.
• Marinate your meat
– acids such as vinegar
or lemon act as shield,
preventing PAHs from
sticking. However sug-
ary marinades, such as
barbecue sauce, should
only be added during
the last minute or two
as they encourage char-
ring.
• Grill vegetables or
fruits instead of meat –
plant foods don’t create
carcinogens when they
char.

Spaces remain for India trip
While crowds of
Shuswap moviegoers
were attending sold out
showings of The Best Exotic Marigold Ho-tel and imagining their
own adventure in India,
a group of Salmon Arm
students were contem-
plating their own jour-
ney to that Asian desti-
nation.
On Dec 16, Salmon
Arm Secondary stu-
dents are embarking
on the school district’s
third fi eld trip to India.
Over 19 days, they will
cover the north of India
from west to east, from
camel trekking in Raj-
asthan’s Thar Desert to
a dawn boat ride on the
Ganges, to the ancient
Sun Temple of Konark.
As in the movie, there
will be many exotic mo-
ments, but this is not a
trip designed for ease or
for the average tourist.
It’s a back-packer styled
adventure during which
the participants will stay
in budget lodging and
travel in a second-class
sleeper on the train.
Volunteering at
Mother Teresa’s Home
For The Dying in Cal-
cutta and visiting lepers
in Varanasi are among
the many physical and
emotional challenges to
be encountered. Over-
all, the trip is an ab-
sorbing and memorable
experience that lasts a
lifetime.
There are currently
three spaces left open
for adults. The cost is
$3,600, which can be
spread over fi ve install-
ments. This covers air,
train, lodging, food and
every expense in India.

tact 250-832-6682.

LIFESTYLES • ENTERTAINMENT
After four days of
soccer against tough
competition in high
temperatures, all the
effort paid off.
The Shuswap FC
U16 boys came home
with bronze medals
from the 2012 BC Soc-
cer B Cup Provincial
Championships in Al-
dergrove.
From July 5 to 8, the
local boys won three
games and lost one,
with the loss to the
eventual gold medal
winner, GAC Extreme
from Surrey. That game
was a heartbreaker for
the local squad, with
the teams tied at 1-1
up until the fi nal two
minutes. Shuswap
dominated possession
in the second half of
the game, frustrating
GAC, but a bullet of a
free kick just outside
the 18-yard box gave
the Extreme a 2-1 win.
In other games, the
Selects defeated the
Terrace Kermodies
2-0, the hometown
Aldergrove Vipers
2-1 and, in the bronze
medal game, the Nel-
son Selects 1-0.
Coach Dave Knight
was extremely proud
of the team’s perfor-
mance.
“We worked hard all
year at our possession
game and it really paid
off. The boys came to
the tournament with the
right attitude, knowing
what our game plan
was and executing it as
best we could.”
Assistant coach is
Ken Kantymir and
team members are:
Chad Baker, Westlee
Bischoff, Eric Brock,
Nick Chesney, keeper
Morgan Crandlemire,
Quinton Fahlman,
Zach Friedenberger,
Micah Gunn, Nathan
Hawe, Lachlan Hicks,
Jacob New, Nate Kan-
tymir, Adam Luch-
kanych, Kyle Nichol-
son, Shea Smith and
Dylan Staal.
To qualify for the
Provincials, the team
took the Thompson
Okanagan league
championship.

X Games: Chantelle Bykerk, on right, stands on the winners’ podium in Los Angeles after earning her bronze medal.
Extreme champion
This time last year, the idea of
attending the X Games was just a
dream.
Now, just one year later, Chantelle
Bykerk has returned home with a
bronze metal.
Bykerk, 20, has been competing
in various forms of motocross races
since she was 13. For her, compet-
ing in the X Games has always been
the ultimate dream.
In an interview last year, Bykerk
explained that for extreme sports,
the X Games is the equivalent of the
Olympics.
Bykerk had always wanted the
chance to compete in the Games,
but she decided to make it her offi -
cial goal last year.
The young athlete was able to so-
lidify her place in the X Games En-
duro Cross race after the fi rst round
of qualifi ers held in Las Vegas. A
total of only 10 competitors were
allowed to advance to the Games,
ranging from age 15 to 40. Bykerk,
the third youngest, says that as long
as you are fast enough, you can
compete.
Enduro racing requires competi-
tors to use a variety of skills and bal-
ance to compete.
“I race off-road, enduros and en-
duro cross. Enduro Cross is defi nite-
ly the hardest, because it is the most
physical out of all three,” she says.
Bykerk comes from a racing fam-
ily. She got into the sport after going
to many of her brothers’ competi-
tions.
“My parents just decided to get
me a bike as well,” says Bykerk.
It was her boyfriend, however,
who got her into enduro racing.
“He raced in them, and I would

She has been around
the world, from Europe
to Alaska, but for now,
Salmon Arm’s Alysson
Marshall is happy to
be home with friends,
family and local sup-
porters.
Marshall has been
rigorously training all
over the world to pre-
pare herself for the
Olympic qualifi ers in
cross-country skiing.
“I just got back from
two weeks of training
in Anchorage, Alaska
with the North Amer-
ica Women’s Training
Alliance,” says Mar-
shall.
Marshall trained
steadily with a group
of women from Can-
ada, Alaska and other
U.S. states, as well as
Finland. Training in-
cluded one part dry-
land training, where
the group used roller
blades and travelled
long distances at high
speeds and alternating
intensities, as well as
glacier training, which
allowed them to ski
almost from the door
of the building where
they stayed.
While competitions
only run from Novem-
ber to March, Marshall
explained, training car-
ries on for 11 months
of the year.
“April is the only
month I kind of get
off,” she says. “I still
train, but it is not offi -
cial training. It doesn’t
last as long and it is
more fun.”
The rest of the year
Marshall has pre-set,
specially planned,
training programs
which require about
four hours a day.
“Some days it is lon-
ger, others it is shorter;
they switch it up lots.”
Marshall explains how
she will go through two
weeks of intense train-
ing with long hours,
followed by a week
with a more laid-back
style.
While Marshall’s
parents did not com-
pete, her grandparents
did. This, she says, is
part of what sparked
her interest in competi-
tive skiing.
Marshall began
competing at just four-
and-a-half years old.
She describes how her
parents loved the sport,
and made sure to take
her out every weekend.
“I just kept going.”
When asked why she
stuck with it, she says:
“I really just enjoy the
entire lifestyle. My job
is to spend time out-
side, hiking and skiing
and doing these fun
things. The opportuni-
ties and experiences it
has provided me are
amazing.”
Through competing
and training, Marshall
has travelled through
central Europe, Scan-
dinavia and across
Canada.
While she doesn’t
get to see the major cit-
ies, she gets plenty of
time to get to know the
smaller towns and the
people within them.
“I drove right through
Venice without even
stopping,” she laughs.
Marshall believes
this allows her to see
the real side of the plac-
es she is visiting, not
just the tourist’s view.
She explains, “You’ve
never experienced Italy
until you are looked af-
ter by an Italian mom
for a week.”
Like many athletes,
Marshall has dreamed
of competing in the
Olympics but admits
she set her sights on the
smaller goals fi rst.
“I was always just
trying for the next
thing, to beat the next
level, but the Olym-
pics has always been
a dream in the back of
my mind,” she says.
Marshall may soon
fi nd out if she will get
her chance to compete
in the 2014 Winter
Olympics in Russia.
“If I had really stel-
lar World Cup results,
that might be enough
to qualify me. But I am
anticipating to qualify
during the 2013 quali-
fying season.”
The offi cial require-
ments for Team Cana-
da prospects have not
yet been released.
For now, she is tak-
ing a few days to relax
with family and meet
with local supporters.
On July 5, Marshall
took part in a fundrais-
er in Salmon Arm put
on by Lakeside Insur-
ance. The event, which
featured a hot-dog bar-
becue as well a raffl e
for a number prizes
including skis and an
autographed picture of
Marshall, was put on
to help raise money
for her training and
lodging throughout the
year.
“The government
does provide some
money,” says Marshall,
“but it is not enough to
pay for everything. It is
expensive.”
The event proved to
be a success, bringing
in $2,225.

respectively, in recent soccer action. Scoring
against Goplen was Cathy Bartsch with three
goals, Kim Turner, Heidi Berry and Sue Doray
with two, and Emily Styles with a single. Ingrid

always watch him prac-
tise, so at one point I
started to practise with
him as well. Eventu-
ally I started going to
the competitions to
compete instead of just
watch.”
The track used in the
X Games is a manmade
obstacle course.
Bykerk describes
how complete trees are
laid across the track
which bikers are forced
to jump over, as well as
large boulders and other
rocks scattered around
the corners.
A concrete pool area
is built and then fi lled
with water, creating a
makeshift pond.
Bikers must make
their way across a
‘fallen’ tree trunk to get
over the body of water.
Bykerk also describes
other obstacles such
as tractor tires laid out
around the course.
Despite the many dif-
fi culties hidden within
the track, event offi cials
say on their website
that Bykerk put in an
outstanding effort, and
was defi nitely a worthy
contender.
The race was tight,
with Bykerk coming
in a close third behind
U.S. riders, Maria Fors-
berg, who came in fi rst,
and Louise Forsley, who
took second place.
The young athlete is
happy to have made it
as far as she did.
“It was so overwhelm-
ing there because there
were so many people
around. It was just an
amazing opportunity to
even compete, and then
getting bronze was just
super cool.”
Winning third auto-
matically gives Bykerk
a chance to compete in
the 2013 X Games.
Bykerk has set her
sights even higher and is
aiming for gold. How-
ever, for the time being,
her goal is to defend her
Canadian title.
Bykerk is in the mid-
dle of a Canadian series,
the winner of which
will be named national
champion.
At the fi rst compe-
tition in Vernon this
past weekend, Bykerk
came in second in the
fi rst race, followed by
an excellent win in the
second. She will be
competing in two more
races this weekend in
Blairmore, Alta.
The overall winner
of these races will de-
termine who will take
home the Western Can-
ada plate.

The Shuswap Swim-
ming Team sent three
swimmers to Rich-
mond this past week-
end to attend the Swim
BC AAA Provincial
Long Course Champi-
onships.
The meet was host to
43 teams from around
B.C. and the Yukon
Territory with a couple
of international swim-
mers too. This was the
fi nal provincial com-
petition of the season
with more than 650
swimmers, ranging
from those who have
attained only one AAA
provincial time stan-
dard, right up to those
swimmers competing
at the Canadian senior
national level.
The three Shus-
wap Swimming Team
swimmers raced well,
with two of the three
advancing to the fi nals,
and seven team records
falling.
On the girls side,
Bree Cooper, 14, after
being shut out of the fi -
nals at the Short Course
AAA provincials back
in March 2012, ad-
vanced to the fi nals in
both the 14-year-old
girls 50-metre freestyle
and the 100-m butterfl y
races, ending up in 8th
place in both events,
and broke team records
in both the 100-m
butterfl y and 100-m
breaststroke.
Cooper was using
this meet as a spring
board to launch her
with a bit more racing
experience as she heads
towards the Age Group
National Champion-
ships later this month.
On the boys side,
Ty Webster-Locke, 12,
was at his fi rst AAA
provincial meet, and
raced really well. He
advanced to the fi nals
in the 12-year-old boys
50-m freestyle, placing
7th and breaking the
team records in both
the 50-m and 400-m
freestyle events.
Also on the boys
side was Jake Kitchen,
18, who was at only
his third-ever long
course competition.
He swam well at the
competition, break-
ing team records in
the 100-m and 200-m
breaststroke races
(dropping an impres-
sive six seconds off of
his 200-m breaststroke
time), as well as the
100-m butterfl y.
This was the fi nal
competition of the
season for Kitchen
and Webster-Locke,
while Cooper will
be heading off to the
Swimming Canada
Age Group National
Championships taking
place from July 25-29
in Calgary.

Exceptional play for StealthThe Shuswap Girls U18
Stealth team had a strong pro-
vincial championships tourna-
ment.
Their fi rst game was against
Surrey’s CCB Elite team who
were eventually crowned cham-
pions. Though it was a tight
game and tied at half-time,
CCB picked up a goal halfway
through the second half and then
an insurance goal fi ve minutes
from full time when the Shus-
wap girls were pushing forward.
Against the Kootenay Rov-
ers, Shuswap came from behind
with a dominant second half but
the game ended in a 1-1 tie.
The game against their arch
rivals, Kelowna United, was a
very tense one that was tied at
zeroes until the referee awarded
Kelowna a penalty shot late in
the contest, which gave them a
1-0 victory.
The fi nal game was against
Cliffe Avenue United from
Burnaby. Shuswap carried the
play all game but, in the fi nal
20 minutes, Cliffe Avenue man-
aged two counter attacks to tie it
up with less than a minute left.
The game went to penalty kicks
and Cliffe Avenue came away
with the win.
Coach Ian McLellan said
Shuswap played very well
throughout the tournament and
used exceptional team play
to compete strongly in every
game.
“Most of the girls on this team
have been together since U12
and have developed into a very
tight family, and they competed
very strongly against teams from
much bigger communities,” he
said.
“These bigger clubs really had
to compete hard for any points
against us.”
Aces hold own with B.C.’s bestAfter a weekend in
Sooke at the Provin-
cial championships,
the Salmon Arm Aces
Women’s Fastpitch
team fi nished a very
respectable eighth in
the province.
In Game 1 Friday,
the Aces defeated the
Vancouver Vipers 9-1.
In a second game Fri-
day, Nanaimo Nitro
was victorious in a
12-6 contest.
On Saturday Salmon
Arm came back to de-
feat Ridge Meadows
Dynomite 18-4, with
Carlee DeBoer claim-
ing a grand slam. Next
was a tight 8-6 loss to
the Sooke Hustlers.
In the playoffs Sat-
urday, the Aces were
outdone 11-0 by the
formidable Fleetwood
Outlaws.
On Sunday, it was
a close one with Port
Moody Magic claim-
ing a 4-2 win.
In the Skills Compe-
tition, Kristen Sherlock
clocked a 50-mph fast-
pitch, with the eventual
winner clocked at 53
mph.

tant coaches Louis

ARTS & EVENTS
Aglass of wine and thou
could make a big dif-
ference in the lives of thousands
of children in Kenya and Ecua-
dor.
Sip wine, sample appetizers
and enjoy the music of Sandy
Cameron and Babalu in the beau-
tiful surroundings of Granite
Creek Estate Wines.
Shuswap Rotary Club is host-
ing a fundraising garden party at
the Tappen winery Sunday, July
14 to benefi t the annual Ecuador
Dental Mission and the African
Barani School Lunch Program.
Shuswap Rotary Club mem-
ber Mike Boudreau accompanied
fi ve OUC Okanagan students to
Kenya last year, where he con-
nected with local Rotary clubs
to see how area youths could be
supported.
That led him to Barani Primary
School, in the small rural village
of Kanamai, just north of Mom-
bassa where he taught Grade 8
math for two weeks.
Many of the children were not
only without lunch, they hadn’t
had breakfast, says Boudreau,
noting many were lucky to get
one meal a day.
“Seeing an emaciated child on
TV is totally different from stand-
ing face-to-face with that child,”
he says. “It is heart-wrenching
that we can be so oblivious of the
need and do little about it when
we have so much in compari-
son.”
When he departed Kana-
mai, Boudreau left $100, a sum
that fed 25 kids for more than a
month.
He shared his experience with
Shuswap Rotary and the club be-
gan feeding some 100 children
in the school that has 1,200 stu-
dents.
“Everybody in the club pitched
in $5 a week and we got dona-
tions from friends,” he says, not-
ing the club was also responsible
for restoring safe running water
to the school. “So we’re feeding
up to 200 a day now and we sent
money over for a new pump, tank
platform and water tank.”
Another Shuswap Rotary
member, dentist Gene Tymkiw
also believes in humanitarian ser-
vice and uses Rotary connections
in Ecuador to provide dental care
to those who would otherwise do
without treatment.
He and assistant Donna Cook
made their second visit to Ec-
uador in January, where they
provided necessary dental care
to hospital patients awaiting sur-
gery before heading out to area
schools.
This year, Tymkiw and Cook
treated about 200 people in the
South American country.
“We spent fi ve working days
in fi ve different schools,” says
Cook. “And we probably saw
about 40 patients in hospital be-
fore they had surgery for hips and
knees.”
Supported by Shuswap Rotary
and Rotary Clubs in Edmonton,
the team Tymkiw and Cook travel
with consists of about 55 people,
including orthopedic surgeons,
nurses, anesthetists, physicians
and dentists.
Sunday’s garden party crew
will be just as talented and devot-
ed to helping those less fortunate
but in a different way.
Well-known sax-man Sandy
Cameron and his Babalu crew in-
clude Jim Johnson on keyboard,
Jeremy Tymkiw on drums, Jer-
emy Dyck on bass and the vocals
of Adrianna Sharan, who does
the arranging for the band.
“They are unbloodybelievable,”
raves Gene. “When Sharan sings
Besame Mucho, well, like Sandy
says ‘I almost want to stop blow-
ing my horn so she’d kiss me.”
Granite Creek Estate Wines is a
family owned and operated win-
ery and vineyard whose wines
produced from 100-per cent B.C.
grapes on-site at the winery
Granite Creek Estate Wines is
located at 2302 Skimikin Road in
Tappen.
The fundraising garden party
takes place from 2 to 5 p.m. Tick-
ets are $25 and include one glass
of wine and appetizers.
Tickets are available at Gene
Tymkiw’s dental offi ce at 320

OTHER EVENTS:
First Nations stories
will come to life on the
Shuswap Theatre stage
next week in Legend.
The production is a
collaboration between
the theatre society and
the Switzmalph Cultur-
al Society.
Laughingly describ-
ing himself as being
typecast, Ken Thomas,
Neskonlith Band mem-
ber and grandson of
beloved late elder Mary,
will reprise his coyote
role.
It is a character adopt-
ed about a decade ago
and one that caught the
eye of longtime theatre
director and actor James
Bowlby at last year’s
River’s Day celebration
at the Mary Thomas
Sanctuary site just west
of town.
“He said let’s do a
project next year,” says
Thomas, noting he of-
ten gets requests that
don’t go much farther
than the asking. “But
James persevered, send-
ing emails all winter
and come spring, he
said I have the theatre
booked, we’re doing a
summer show.”
Legend the story is
about two characters – a
young boy and a young
girl who go on a jour-
ney.
“They’ve been cho-
sen by the Old One –
Kelkupki, or the Great
Chief – who symbolize
the Creator or God, be-
cause He sees potential
in them,” says Thomas,
noting the pair sym-
bolize the youth of the
world.
The journey includes
treasured stories from
Secwepemc, Plains In-
dians, Hopi and Aesop
Fables.
From the Hopi comes
the tale of the rainbow
warriors, those who
signify multi-cultural
peoples – races mixing
together and standing
in protection of Mother
Earth, Thomas says.
“It’s like the song
Somewhere Over the Rainbow – it’s all of
us together,” he adds.
“We tried to use a lot
of humour to not make
the message too heavy-
handed. The last thing
we want is for people to
walk away going ‘Holy,
that was preachy.’”
Bowlby, has known
39-year-old Ken since
he was in a Grade 10
production of Romeo and Juliet at JL Jackson
and saw he enjoyed act-
ing.
“I always wanted to
do something to appre-
ciate the local culture,”
he says, noting that
while natives may be
our close neighbours,
their culture is often a
world away. “It should
be appreciated and
known by us.”
Bowlby says his col-
laboration with Thomas
has included a lot of
laughter and ready shar-
ing of ideas.
“We just accepted
each other and knew
what we were wanting
to do,” he says, noting
from backstage to cast
– many of whom are
Thomas family mem-
bers – to sets, costumes
and publicity, work on
the production has been
almost seamless.
Thomas, as coyote,
will welcome the au-
dience at the offi cial
opening of this year’s
Roots and Blues Fes-
tival, which runs Aug.
17 to 19, and will intro-
duce Coyote to children
twice daily in the Kid’s
Zone.
Legend opens July 19
and will run Thursdays,
Fridays and Saturdays
at 7:30 p.m., with mati-
nees on Sundays at 1:30
p.m. There will be no
shows on the weekend
of Roots and Blues.
Tickets for Legendare $30 for a family of
four, $12 for adults, $10
for seniors and $7 for
students.
Tales that teach: Ken Thomas will bringSecwepemc legends to the stage.

This year’s festival
road trip was organized
by Bri-
gitte Hab-
erle and
Y v o n n e
Adriaans,
two in-
terns from
an inter-
na t i ona l
l e i s u r e
manage-
ment program in the
Netherlands.
Brigitte Haberle has
one more year to ob-
tain her bachelor’s de-
gree and says working
at the festival offi ce has
only confi rmed her ca-
reer choice.
“I really love the
event sector in general,
and I think music is a
great way to express
feelings and thoughts,”
she says, pointing out
she also enjoys the trust
and backing festival
organizers have shown
her and Adriaans.
“We’re in charge of
Routes and Blues; it’s
all in our hands, wow,”
she says with enthusi-
asm. “I think it’s such
a neat opportunity for
students like me to do
it here; they give you
so much responsibility,
options and freedom to
work. It’s not ‘go get
me a coffee please, go
copy this.’”
Adriaans concurs,
even though she says
the early days of the
internship, which be-
gan in March, were bit
nerve-wracking
“I have done a couple
of internships before,
but never with the same
responsibility,” she
says. “It’s cool to think
about new things.”
One of those cool,
new things the students
are working on is a
passport, a small book-
let with maps of the
Routes and Blues com-
munities, stamps and
a schedule of things
to do. Passport hold-
ers will be encouraged
to collect stamps for a
contest that involves
having the most stamps
in a book.
Also included are
descriptions of each
hike, the meal and the
music.

Music history in story and song
Rolling, rolling, roll-
ing. The Hayride keeps
on rolling.
And it’s rolling back
onto a Salmon Arm
stage this Friday with
Elvis, Hank Williams,
Patsy Cline and Roy
Orbison, as well as
songs by many of the
great country artists
such as Johnny Cash,
Jim Reeves, Ray Price
and Eddy Arnold.
The show fi lled halls
in four Alberta venues
in May with the same
great audience response
that has been given by
B.C. audiences.
“We normally don’t
do a summer show, but
you’ve been asking for
it and we’re giving it to
you,” says Hayride cre-
ator and producer Lori
Risling.
Patrick Ryley per-
forms as Hank Wil-
liams, Andrea Ander-
son as Patsy Cline and
Gil Risling as Roy Or-
bison.
Also sharing their
substantial talent are
William Brookfi eld on
double keyboard and
vocals and Mike Melni-
chuk on stand-up base
and electric guitar.
And the “cowboys”
will gather round the
fi re.
New to this, the third
version of the show, is
Adam Fitzpatrick, mak-
ing the music and the
moves of Elvis Presley.
If you liked him, and
many did, don’t miss
his performance this
week because he may
not be in show num-
ber 4 that rolls onto the
stage in the fall.
“Our Elvis from Pen-
ticton, won an Elvis
Tribute Competition in
California and that has
allowed him to com-
pete in the ‘Ultimate
Elvis’ competition in
Memphis in August,”
says Risling.
“There will be 24
other Elvis Tribute Art-
ists from around the
world vying for this
prestigious title. This is
a huge accomplishment
and we are so excited
that Adam can be a part
of our Salmon Arm
show before he heads
to Memphis.”
Known as the Cradle
of the Stars, the Louisi-
ana Hayride was estab-
lished in 1948.
It was a live show
similar to the Grand
Ole Opry and was
performed by as-yet-
unknown stars at the
Shreveport Municipal
Auditorium and broad-
cast over KWKH ra-
dio.
Risling and crew are
about to rehearse show
#4, which will premiere
in Salmon Arm with all
new material in the fall.
“We will have a new
character, which the
audience will fi nd quite
entertaining – and that’s
all I’ll say,” she laughs.
“There will be four art-
ists we haven’t featured
before and songs by the
Everly Brothers, Flatt
& Scruggs and Loretta
Lynn. And the “cow-
boys” will be back by
popular demand.”
The Louisiana Hay-
ride Show kicks off at
7:30 p.m. Friday, July
13 at the SASCU Rec
Centre. Tickets are
available at Touch’A
Texas and Wearabouts.
High on country: Patrick Ryley, Andrea Anderson, Adam Fitzpat-rick and Gil Risling will be back in the auditorium Friday.

TIME OUTARIES (March 21 - April 19): Your seemingly never-ending cycle of change and self-honesty now becomes more reflective. You’re steadily moving towards a life that feels like a genuine expression of your soul. You realize now, this isn’t just an external process, but takes place from the inside out. TAURUS (April 20 - May 20): You can sense chang-es are brewing, but it’s harder to put your finger on what it will mean for your future. You can see the light on the other side is shining dollar signs. This week, you make quick moves towards prosperity. GEMINI (May 21 - June 20): Jupiter and Mars are slowly positioning themselves to help you understand what would make you most happy, and to deliver a tangible blessing. This week, you’ll feel the hope and anticipation build in your heart. Friends help keep your momentum up. CANCER (June 21 - July 22): “Be the person you dream to be.” What if the person you wish to be is uncertain? The path to that person will move you in another direction. Relax on your demands of yourself and of the Universe. A better vision is trying to come forward now. Ask as much as you listen. LEO (July 23 - August 22): You notice finances slowly reaching a calmer pace, as expenses steady. You’ll be able to turn your attention on other things, like fun and friendship. You’re considering your life and the values you have been learning along the way. Choose an interpretation that brings peace. VIRGO (August 23 - September 22): In the coming months, you should notice an upswing in your career. No matter what your relationship to bosses or author-ity figures has been in the past, they’ll see you as a perfect match for bigger opportunities. The Universe will give you a glimpse now.
LIBRA (September 23 - October 22): Those in the throw of new love are said to be foolish. The urgency of attraction has a way of suspending rational senses. This might be your fear now, but is love not worth the risk of looking silly? You now demonstrate that you believe it’s a risk worth taking. SCORPIO (October 23 - November 21): Money is available to you from a variety of sources. Cast your net wide, asking questions along the way. You qualify for funding you’re not yet aware of. It’s your own in-security and pride that might keep you from asking. SAGITTARIUS (November 22 - December 21): As Venus went back and forth in the sky, you were asked to consider the future of a bond. Now, as she gains speed in her forward moves, you see the way to re-solve any residual uncomfortable feelings. Believe and expand your definition of love.CAPRICORN (December 22 - January 19): You might feel at a consequential junction of your life. We’re in the midst of powerful times and you feel the impulse to make adjustments. It’s part of a larger pro-cess that will move you in an overall more authentic direction. Don’t try to do it all at once.AQUARIUS (January 20 - February 18): The Her-schels were a brother sister duo, performing at small venues. In their downtime, they loved documenting the sky. Their passion led to the discovery of Uranus and a place in history. Have your day-job, but your passion is where your fortune is, especially now.PISCES (February 19 - March 20): Mercury retro-grades this week, asking you to look at a work oppor-tunity more closely. New information provides a bet-ter picture, but take a few weeks before you act. The wildest possibilities in money are more fun, but you’re also considering its practicality.

Salmon Arm Observer Wednesday, July 11, 2012 www.saobserver.net A33
Her generosity sur-
passes many, even at a
young age.
While many people
might be preparing for
the beach, one Salmon
Arm resident is kicking
off her summer with a
big dose of generosity.
Seventeen-year-old
Carlie Earl has just fi n-
ished Grade 11, and she
has decided to celebrate
summer by shaving her
head in the name of
love.
On July 19, Earl will
be heading to BAR Sa-
lon in Salmon Arm to
donate her own hair as
well as attempt to raise
at least $500 for Locks
of Love.
Locks of Love is a
non-profi t organization
that makes wigs for
young people under the
age of 21, who suffer
from diseases that cause
hair loss, but cannot af-
ford to buy wigs.
This is not the fi rst
time Earl has made
such a generous act of
kindness.
The fi rst time she de-
cided to shave her head
was back in Grade 7 af-
ter she saw the impact
cancer had on her own
family.
“Two of my grand-
parents have had can-
cer,” said Earl. “Luck-
ily, neither of them had
to lose their hair, but it
made me realize that it
can have an effect on
anyone’s life. I know
if I had a hair loss dis-
ease I would hope that
someone would donate
their hair so I could get
a wig.”
Earl said she has been
going to see Scott Ge-
row, a stylist at BAR
Salons, since her mom
began taking her when
she was little. Gerow
was also the stylist who
shaved her hair for her
donation four years
ago.
It was because of this
that Earl decided that
Gerow should have the
honour of cutting it this
time as well.
With the help of Ge-
row, Earl has organized
a way for Salmon Arm
residents to do their part
as well.
For one day only, Ge-
row will be donating his
time to raise additional
money for Locks of
Love by providing $35
hair cuts, every cent of
which will be donated
to the charity.
Earl will be at the sa-
lon from 9 a.m. until 6
p.m. to greet and meet
with those helping her
reach her goal. Earl
also notes that no ap-
pointments are needed
throughout the day.
Anyone from the public
can simply pop in and
receive a hair cut.
At 4:30 p.m. Earl is
scheduled to get her
own head completely
shaved.
If anyone else would
like to donate their hair
to the charity, they are
more than welcome to
do so.
Earl hopes to be grad-
uating from high school
this coming year. This
means that events such
as prom, a time when
girls traditionally get
dressed up in their fi n-
est with their hair and
makeup at their best,
are set to mark the mile-
stone ahead.
Shaving her head
close to these events,
however, doesn’t seem
to bother Earl in the
least.
“Hair will grow
back,” she says.
If anyone would like
to donate money to
Earl’s cause, but will
not be able to make
it to the salon on July
19, they can drop their
money off with Gerow
at BAR Salon, located
at 171B Hudson Ave. in
Salmon Arm.
Public invited to share their hair for kidsBy Cavelle LayesOBSERVER STAFF
For the cause: Carlie Earl will shave her head for children with ill-nesses on July 19. The public is invited to BAR Salon for a haircut that day, with payment also going to the non-profi t Locks of Love.
The Columbia Shus-
wap Regional District
(CSRD) will offer a
master composting
program in Salmon
Arm on July 14.
“The program is de-
signed to train people
to teach and help other
people to compost,”
says waste reduction
facilitator Carmen
Fennell,, adding that
Golden residents who
recently took a simi-
lar program were very
positive.
The daylong pro-
gram gives participants
in-depth information
in a classroom-type
setting and includes a
hands-on component.
The training is free
and participants will
receive a free Earth
Machine composter.
However, participants
are asked, in return, to
spend 35 hours within
the next two years pro-
moting composting.
The program takes
place at the CSRD
boardroom at 781 Ma-
rine Park Dr. Lunch
will be provided.
For more informa-
tion, call Fennell at
250-833-5936.

A bed of many colours…Where does one start?
The gorgeous planters in the laneway overfl owing with petunias, bacopa, daisies and geraniums are a great welcome.
Alongside the home many large hostas take resi-dence. The backyard is a myriad of colour. White, red and peach roses mark the start of one bed along with lupins, lilies, and Russian sage.
Two central curved fl ower beds are planted with roses, surrounded by alyssum.
The raised beds contain huge onions, swiss chard, broccoli and potatoes.
Masses of raspberries are going to offer a bumper crop!
The trellised fence to the side of the property is bordered by lilies & climbing vines alongside a stunning pink climbing rose.
Pansies mixed with alyssum make a beautiful edg-ing for yet another bed.
The mock orange fi nishes this garden like a scrumptious dessert.
