Community rallies for Megan

Four-year-old Megan Leverrier has been a healthy, active little girl, a girl who loves to dance and loves to sing.

About three weeks ago her parents took her to the doctor because her abdomen was distended, explains her aunt, Tracey Nickolson. Michelle and Jaimie Lever-rier are Megan’s parents; Nickolson is Mi-chelle’s sister.

Various tests and X-rays were done. It was thought Megan was possibly consti-pated, so she was sent home to pass the blockage. However, the doctor called that night to say she should be taken to hospi-tal right away. She went to Vernon Jubilee, where the doctors there said she must get to BC Children’s Hospital in Vancouver immediately; she has a cancerous tumour.

Because it would take too long to ar-range a medical flight out of Kelowna, the family dropped everything and set off by car.

When Megan was examined in Van-couver, the family understood the tumour would likely be treated with chemother-apy. However, more tests were done be-cause the mass was growing so rapidly. Because of concerns about internal bleed-ing, a proper biopsy wasn’t possible.

Nickolson says doctors – a total of 28 have been discussing Megan’s condition – have determined the mass is very rare, an angiosarcoma surrounded by a heman-gioma, a tumour within a tumour, attached to her liver.

Two-hour parking up for debate

Salmon Arm Mayor Nancy Cooper predicts a lively discussion on downtown parking at next week’s council meeting.

Cooper was responding to comments councillors made following a report from city staff at the city’s planning meeting Monday, which outlined a rec-ommendation from the Downtown Parking Com-mission. The commission has recommended that, based on the results of a Downtown Salmon Arm business parking survey, the trial of two-hour street parking on Hudson Avenue be extended throughout the downtown core for a year, from April 25 of this year to March 31, 2015.

Coun. Denise Reimer said she is not prepared to vote in favour of the rec-ommendation.

“Salmon Arm has a very vibrant downtown already, with so many diverse businesses. With that, comes diversity in parking. While I appre-ciate the study done by Downtown Salmon Arm, I think we need to look at a much more extensive study.”

Coun. Marg Kentel said she’s thinking along the same lines as Reimer.

“By the time Marcel (Bedard, bylaw officer) marks a tire, they could park for close to four hours the way this would work...”

She also said a year is far too long for an experi-ment and suggested until the end of the year would be more than enough.

Coun. Debbie Cannon explained that she, as council’s representative on Downtown Salmon Arm, has spent a lot of time downtown talking to businesses as well as looking over emails, and she tends to agree with Reimer.

“I think one-hour parking is sufficient, and the survey done didn’t have much of a science to it. The business owners and residents I’ve discussed it with don’t support the two hours.”

Coun. Chad Eliason agreed, saying he doesn’t think two-hour parking is a solution for all busi-nesses. Cooper and Couns. Alan Harrison and Ken Jamieson didn’t state their views.

pital is a larger hospital with more resources, Megan and her fam-ily were sent to Toronto yesterday. Nickolson said Michelle, Jaimie and Megan’s two-year-old brother Gavin will stay at Ronald McDon-ald House, while the children’s grandparents will be in a nearby ho-tel.

One possibility in To-ronto would be to do a liver transplant, either using a section of one of her parents’ livers or through an organ donor.

“If something hap-pens and they can’t fig-ure it out there, they’ll maybe even send her to Seattle,” says Nick-olson, noting a centre there specializes in liver transplants.

The rapid growth of the tumour, which has reached the size of a football, is particularly dangerous as it is push-ing on her other organs.

Still, “she’s coherent, she’s eating, she’s still got spunk,” said Nick-olson Friday, adding yesterday that a blood

transfusion over the weekend took her down for a while.

Megan’s illness has been understandably traumatic for the fam-ily, particularly with its sudden onset. It has also been expensive. Not only will the family have to pay for living expenses in Toronto, but if Megan goes to Seattle, it’s not certain her medical costs will be covered.

However, if there’s a bright side, it’s the community’s support.

Jaimie is a local RCMP officer. The po-lice are raising money – one event was a pub night last Saturday, an-other a bake sale.

Other people are rais-ing funds, including Megan’s ballet class in Sorrento and a Blind Bay hair salon. Infor-mation about the fun-draisers can be found on a Facebook page for Megan at www.face-book.com/meganlever-rier. As well, Miracle for Megan bracelets

will soon be distributed for sale.

If you wish to donate via a financial institu-tion, a trust fund for the family has been set up at the TD Bank; donate to the Leverrier Fam-ily Trust - Transit: 9151 Account: 6387650.

Donations, including cheques, can be sent to Mike Dibblee at Salm-on Arm RCMP Detach-ment, 1980 11th Ave. NE, Salmon Arm, V1E 2V5. There is also a trust account at the Salmon Arm Savings and Credit Union named the “Ja-mie Leverrier Fund.” The account number is 1587948.

Nickolson says the community has been wonderful.

“I can’t thank people enough,” she said.

“She’s a special girl. I can’t even explain how – there’s nobody more deserving.”

Megan has aspira-tions to be a movie star so, in the hospital, she’s been doing one of her favourite things – watching movies.

Nickolson ex-plains that, at home, “she’s a dancing girl, she sings at the top of her lungs, she has her own little microphone. We have some vid-eos of her where she wants to be a movie star. Her new favourite

movie is Frozen. She’s watched it 11 times in the hospital. She loves movies.”

School District #83’s adult continuing educa-tion programs are fac-ing a complete closure in July.

The board of educa-tion was to consider a motion at Tuesday night’s regular meeting to close all continuing education programs in Salmon Arm, Enderby, Sicamous and Arm-strong. The decision took place after the Ob-server’s press time.

The motion to shut down the adult pro-grams comes as the school district faces another budget process where it will be required to make $1.8 million in cuts to operations. As it stands, the continuing education program is being run at a deficit of $119,108.

Most of the students in the program do not take full course loads, so the enrolment is count-ed in the total number

of courses, explains Wendy Woodhurst, the school district’s direc-tor of instruction. For example ,Salmon Arm had 14 active courses, Sicamous had eight, Enderby had 40 and Armstrong had 39 courses active.

Last year, trustees opted to scale back the level of service and hoped the service would become more widely used, rather than close the programs completely. But stu-dent enrolment has not increased, and the pro-gram continue to oper-ate at a significant loss.

“When you are fac-ing the kind of deficit we are facing, you need to look at every option you can to save mon-ey,” says Bobbi John-son, school board chair. “These are not easy choices.”

While adult students in Salmon Arm have an adult education program at Okanagan College, students from

the smaller communi-ties like Sicamous will have more of a struggle to upgrade their educa-tion.

“It’s the outlying ar-eas that will feel this the most, and not everyone can get into Salmon

Arm for the courses there,” says Johnson.

While some of the adult education pro-grams operate out of the Salmon Arm Storefront School, Woodhurst stresses the Storefront option for school-aged children is not being closed.

“We do not want peo-ple to think that shutting

down Storefront is what is on the table. This (motion) is only affect-ing our adult continuing education offerings.”

Johnson says in a time of such severe budgetary restrictions, she believes resources need to be directed into the kindergarten to Grade 12 programs.

“As a trustee, I’d rather not cut literacy and other programs that work at an early age to improve the chances of success as children move through the K to 12 system, rather than put money into the catching up at the other end, much as I’d love to help everyone.”

Johnson says pro-gram closures can be an unfortunate reality of balancing budgets.

“If I was a parent, I would be writing letters to the government ask-ing them to take a seri-ous look at things about the education system that we can’t afford to lose.”

A NEW JOB? &

After all the dedicat-ed clicking and phoning to bring Salmon Arm to fourth in the country in the Kraft Hockeyville competition, now comes finding the bang for the buck.

Many ideas have been suggested for spending the $50,000 that Salmon Arm and supporters won for the Shaw Centre, says Dale Berger, a member of the Hockeyville committee as well as general man-ager for the Shuswap Recreation Society.

He says ideas have been narrowed down to about 10, but citizens are still welcome to submit suggestions.

“I know one of the priorities of the com-mittee is to recognize Hockeyville, whether through a plaque or something more than that. One idea would be to get started on some sort of wall of fame…

However, at the same time, the SilverBacks are considering that themselves…,” he said.

The money could be used for one bigger project or a few smaller ones.

“Lights is one of the things on the list. It’s been a shortcoming of the facility since day one. It’s something that more than one group is interested in... The new LED technology out there could save you 75 per cent of energy use, it’s a really attractive thing.”

He notes that $50,000 could be leveraged to

receive additional funds from another source.

His biggest hope is that what’s chosen can be accomplished “in one swipe, rather than one that might take a long time to complete, one where you might wonder where the funds would be to complete it.”

Berger said he ex-pects a decision will be made regarding the $50,000 in the next two months. Once all the information has been gathered, the recre-ation society board will choose and then for-ward its recommenda-tion to city council.

Meanwhile, if you have a suggestion of a way to spend the mon-ey, drop if off at the centre’s administration office, just inside the players’ entrance.

Sylvan Lake, Alta., Salmon Arm’s com-petitor in the west, was named Hockeyville winner Saturday night.

charges in fatal crashCriminal charges have now been laid in connec-tion with a fatal collision that occurred on High-way 97 south of Vernon on March 31, 2013.A northbound pickup truck collided head-on with a southbound station wagon. The crash resulted in the deaths of the passenger in the truck, 19-year old Eric Robertson of Armstrong, and both occupants of the station wagon, 70-year old Allan Allport and his wife, 67-year old Fay Allport of Salmon Arm.Brandon McGregor, 22, of Spallumcheen has been charged with Dangerous Driving Causing Death. He will appear in Vernon Court May 1.

Fire hydrant smash-upA 19-year-old Salmon Arm man was arrested after crashing into a fire hydrant on Auto Road. At approximately 6:30 a.m., on Thursday April 3, police responded to a single-vehicle collision where a jeep had failed to negotiate the turn, left the roadway, and became high centred atop a fire hydrant. The impact sheered the hydrant causing water to expel high into the air. The suspect was discovered to have over two times the legal limit of alcohol in his system.

cocaine traffickingAt 4:30 p.m. on Friday, April 4, police noted a drug transaction taking place on 11th Avenue NE. Police subsequently arrested three males and discovered several containers of cocaine packaged for sale. Police will be forwarding trafficking charges against a 27-year-old man from Salmon Arm.

Multi-vehicle collisionPolice responded to a multi-vehicle collision at the intersection of Highway 97B and Auto Road at 1.30 p.m. Friday, April 4. One driver, the only one to sustain injury in the accident, was taken to hospital.

Dangerous goods travel via railway daily

CP Rail carries dan-gerous goods across North America – and Salmon Arm is no ex-ception.

“Must CP Rail move dangerous goods through Salmon Arm, as well as 1,100 other communities? Yes, we’re required,” said Mike LoVecchio of CP Rail during a presenta-tion to the city’s plan-ning meeting Monday.

“Let’s be candid,” he said, noting substances such as ammonia, chlo-rine, crude oil and jet fuel are among those that the railway carries every day. He explained that CP operates under “common carrier obli-gation,” an obligation in Canadian law which says all commodities are equal.

Dangerous goods are about five per cent of overall traffic, he said.

CP owns the rails, while the tank cars are owned by various com-panies.

Following the tragic derailment in Lac-Mé-gantic, Que. last July, which occurred on a line owned by U.S.-based MMA Railway, LoVec-chio said CP is stepping up its conversation with communities, providing them with an overview of emergency process and planning to help ed-

ucate the public, coun-cils and first responders.

“It’s important for you to know, we are one of the safest ways to move dangerous goods,” he said, ex-plaining that the process for shipping dangerous goods starts before CP sees the tank car. Then, prior to departure, the cars are visually in-spected. Other mea-sures include track-side technology to monitor the temperature of the moving wheels.

“We have turned our-selves from being reac-tive to proactive.”

CP believes it’s time for the older tank cars to be upgraded, LoVecchio said, but CP doesn’t own them.

Communities have a role to play with regard to zoning, he said, by not allowing develop-ment close to the tracks.

“A railroad is an in-dustrial site. It operates 24-7, it transports dan-gerous goods.”

Several members of Salmon Arm’s emer-gency operations team attended. They empha-sized the value of mock disasters for training and said they would like to participate in a train-

ing session with CP. LoVecchio added that

CP Rail wants to see the

Marine Park underpass go ahead and would supply an undisclosed

amount of funding. For more, go to www.

Editorial

Which is more deadly – the bottle or the cell phone?

It’s remarkable that distracted driving is now causing more tragedies, on our roads than drinking and driving.

Eighty-one people were killed in British Colum-bia by distracted driving, compared with 55 by impaired driving, in 2012.

Of course, there have been huge public educa-tion programs designed to change society’s view of mixing alcohol and autos, not to mention that B.C. has some of the country’s toughest drinking and driving legislation. This has created a significant reduction in drinking and driving related deaths in the province since it was implemented.

The equivalent needs to apply to those who insist on talking on their cell phones or texting while

driving. Somehow it is seen as acceptable to stay connected to a mobile device even when piloting thousands of pounds of metal on roads populated with other drivers and their passengers.

It is not acceptable. It is stupid and dangerous. Just like there are options for people who wish to

drink to find alternate transportation, there are hands-free options for those who simply can not miss a call. The other alternative is to simply put the phone away while driving or pull over to a safe place if you need to reply.

News that B.C. will be implementing stronger penalties for distracted driving violations is wel-come and appropriate. We look forward to the day when the stigma about cell phones and driving equals that to those who combine booze and cars.

Distracted has become the new drunk

MP tackles parole eligibility The vast majority of private member’s bills never make it into

law, but that shouldn’t stop our elected officials from trying. I can certainly appreciate where Okanagan-Shuswap MP

Colin Mayes is coming from with a bill he introduced into the House of Commons on Monday.

Mayes tabled a private member’s bill in the House of Com-mons that seeks to extend the parole eligibility period for those convicted of abduction, heinous acts of sexual assault and mur-der from the current 25 years up to a maximum of 40 years.

“Currently, any Canadian convicted of both first- or second- degree murder is given an automatic life sentence, but the pro-vision barely puts an offender in jail for longer than 25 years, the time at which first-degree murderers are first eligible for parole,” he said.

A main rationale is the pain victim’s families must endure in attending parole hearings every two years once a convict’s 25-year sentence expires.

At these hearings the graphic evidence is presented to a pan-el, along with information about the convict’s attempts at reha-bilitation or lack thereof. Families of victims who wish to speak for their murdered loved one and oppose parole must face the prospect of such a hearing on a regular basis.

“When passed, this bill will assist families by not having them deal with the re-enactment of what happened to their loved ones, over and over again. Families need closure,” Mayes said in a press release.

One can not help but think of how the timing of the bill co-incides with the conviction of Matthew Foerster for the 2011 murder of 18-year-old Taylor Van Diest of Armstrong.

On Saturday, the jury determined Foerster was guilty of first-degree murder, rather than manslaughter. First-degree murder carries certain stipulations for conviction, including that the murder be premeditated or that it was committed in the course of a sexual assault of the victim.

I was personally pleased to see that the jury did not buy the defence’s argument that Foerster was simply looking for casual sex, rather than intending a sexual assault against the teenaged girl. The jury sided with the Crown’s assertion that Van Diest was murdered because she attempted to fight off Foerster’s ad-vances. In the end, the DNA found under her fingernails when she scratched Foerster’s neck in an attempt to protect herself told the tale.

My heart went out to Taylor’s family and friends, knowing what they must have endured to sit through the testimony and face the man who took the life of their beloved daughter, sister or friend. I shudder to think of them being forced to endure such testimony or justify Foerster’s continued incarceration to a parole board on a regular basis.

If adopted, Mayes’ bill would come too late to help the Van Diest family. But it may spare others.

It’s a laudable effort.

VICTORIA – Have you got one of the new B.C. driver’s licences yet?

By now most drivers have the one with the unsmiling black and white mug shot, to conform to passport standards so it could be used for bor-der identification with the magnetic swipe strip on the back.

About one million of us now have the newest version, with a credit-card style digital chip that proves your residence and eligibility for our fa-mously “free” medical care.

The motor vehicle office started is-suing them about a year ago, as five-year licences expire. They replace the old “CareCard” that has no expiry date. Over the years there were more than nine million CareCards issued, twice the population of B.C., as peo-ple held onto their access to our de-fenseless, overworked medical sys-tem from wherever they moved to.

Positive identification is only the start for this card. Each will be as-signed a password that gives access to online medical records, so when patients show up at an ER, their eligi-bility is confirmed and any previous conditions or medications are accu-rately matched. (Note that medical information is not stored on the card, just an access code that goes with the password.)

Patients will be able to call up their own files at home, book medical ap-pointments and even renew prescrip-tions, which is where the efficiency comes in. In-person visits for routine prescription renewals are a cash cow for today’s doctors, generating guar-anteed billings but often little or no health benefit.

Most people will still think of it as a driver’s licence, but it’s intended as an all-purpose government ID. If you don’t drive, you are spared the $75 licence renewal fee, and within a couple of years the cards will start providing online access to a wide

range of government services.Andrew Wilkinson, minister of

technology, innovation and citizens’ services, says a public consultation has shown most people are comfort-able using a system they already trust for their banking.

By the end of 2015, Wilkinson says about two million people will have the new cards, roughly half of B.C.’s population. Application forms converted to online access will in-clude student loans, birth, death and marriage certificates, voter registra-tion and even criminal record checks.

All this will be costly to set up, but the savings from having custom-ers do their own data entry are well known, as any banker or supermarket owner can tell you.

“You can understand that if you’re in the vital statistics office and this can all be done from places like Tele-graph Creek and Horsefly remotely, that actually saves them a lot of mon-ey,” Wilkinson said. “There will be conversion of existing services where you have to go into an office and wait around and fill out forms. Those will be converted to online services.”

It also means a decline in the num-ber of government office jobs, and the potential for further outsourcing of services, as we have seen with Medical Services Plan administra-tion and the back-office functions of BC Hydro.

Some older readers won’t be thrilled to hear about this. They don’t want a “smart phone,” just a phone. But they will also see their great-grandchildren becoming adept with tablet computers before they can even speak. Seniors will get the hang of it pretty quickly, and their lives will become easier.

• A correction to last week’s col-umn on the Agricultural Land Com-mission. I erroneously said regional panel members were appointed from outside the region. They are local residents, and the new legislation for-malizes a cabinet appointment pro-cess for them.

View PointThe Observer asked: When the time comes, where would you like to live when you retire?

Donat Koller“Salmon Arm, because it already has everything.”

Martine Dollack“Right here in Salmon Arm because we are already established here.”

Janice GidoraProbably somewhere in the Caribbean because it’s nice and warm and sunny and because I love the ocean.”

Lindsay Ambler“Some place like Tahiti ... just to get away from the cold winters.”

Keaton Miller“Either the Shuswap or Lake Country, because they are both sunny and have good hunting and fishing.”

Since it seems obvious that so many political figures are competing for the best scandal award,

I would like to make a motion to enact the “Scandal Hall of Fame.” With that, I would like to put forward the three newest members: Jenny Kwan, Raj Chouhan and Linda Reid.

I hope they enjoy their spot at the top while they can, because I don’t think it will be long before they have a successor.

Just so they don’t feel alone, I will post other scandal heroes to the hall.

I hope you all remember these fine times and the fine people involved; after all, we did vote them in to look after our Affairs!

Casino-gate, rail-gate, tuna-gate, shawini-gate, Reid affair, Gaglardi affair, BJM affair, Thornhill affair, Sommers affair, Tyabj affair, CIFA scandal, sponsorship scandal, Doman scandal, PC Sask scandal, ethnic vote scandal, F-35 jet scandal, Senate scandal, APEC scandal, airbus scandal, NATO file scandal, robocall scandal, Fast-Cats,

ETS contract, Shoe Store Project, Charbonne Commission, Duplessis orphans, solidarity cri-sis, Fantasy Gardens, BRICK, Bristow, Campbell DUI, Svend Robinson, Moe Sihota.

There are several more but I want to leave room for more newcomers who are already on their way.

All the parties should be disgusted with themselves for allowing this to infest. History says they are working together to avoid saying anything that would open this door and dig up many more snouts from both parties.

Neither party wants to lose this freebie for its members.

I wish for them, to be ashamed for telling us they didn’t know. It’s insulting. Your greedy pock-ets are full already, yet you continue to steal, and from the poor.

You are shameless dogs; you deserve what you have just earned.

Too many scandals to mention

NDP wish list goes way out of lineAs all governments in Canada are in budget re-

straint mode because of the economy, the B.C. NDP party still wants its wish list. Their list is, hire 20 more judges, restore legal aid funding to 2001 lev-els, a public inquiry into the Babine Forest Prod-ucts fire, run a community court in Surrey, estab-lish 1,500 additional social housing units, increase forest inventory research, reverse reduction in for-estry budget, forego B.C. Hydro net income, freeze B.C. Ferry fares for 2014/2015, seniors to continue riding B.C. Ferries for free, eliminate interest on

student loans, reverse reduction in advance educa-tion budget, and establish a ministry of woman’s equality. Total estimated cost to the B.C. taxpayers, $1,425,444,500. B.C. Liberal government says no, but if the B.C. NDP opposition were government, they would just increase income tax in the province to justify the wish list. – the whole reason why the NDP sits as the opposition in the provincial legis-lature.

comments from saobserver.netand Salmon Arm Observer on Facebook

Regarding the article, “Kyllo defends spousal trips:”

There are many, many families in Salmon Arm and area that have a spouse that works out of town. It would be wonderful for them to be able to have their spouses travel with them too. But the company that pays them does not allow for paid spousal trips. Greg Kyllo makes very good money, he should be paying for his wife’s

trips himself. It’s time to cut back on this type of spending in our government.

- Elaine Cawson Bushman

Maybe he should consider a lifestyle more like the majority of his constituents live.

- Patricia Graves Matheson

In private indus-try, a job that re-quires a lot of travel does not typically include paying for spousal travel. He knew when he took the job that it

would require travel. Either he should pay for his wife’s travel himself, or leave her at home. I have no problem with his taking an assistant along when he feels it is necessary because it is job- related.

- Colleen Schonheiter

Archives

1924 Letters of protest were read at council concerning animals running on the roads in the Mt Ida vicinity. It was pointed out that it was contrary to law in all civilized communities for the animals to be at large. The following were appointed as poundkeepers: John Jackson, G.F. Ib-botson, S. Hunter and K. Wagner.

1934 Mrs. Robert Aitken presided at the monthly meeting of the Hospital Women’s Auxiliary. The matron reported there was a great need for half a dozen binders and a dozen and a half wash cloths.Playing at Armstrong the local high school boys’ and girls’ teams won the North Okanagan Valley basketball champion-ships.

1944 The Red Cross cam-paign under the management of Reeve Frank Farmer, totalled over $4,600 which was $200 over the Salmon Arm quota.Salmon Arm High School Cadet Corps learned that it stood among the 20 best in the province. It received an award of $12 for rating between 13th and 20th out of 105 corps inspected.

1954 There was an increase of about 700 pupils in the total enrolment in Salmon Arm district from 1946 to 1953. In 1953, there were an additional 33 pupils from the city at the elementary and junior high schoolsA new store was being built on Alexander Street for The Bargain Centre, and three other businesses were making additions to their premises. Combined cost for the four projects was $14,000. A modern dry kiln containing all the latest equipment for proper drying of lumber was being built at the Canoe sawmill of Sas-katchewan Federal Co-operatives Ltd.

LIFE & TIMES

Salmon Arm residents are bene� ting from a world-re-nowned self-management pro-gram for people with chronic conditions.

A Ministry of Health, Pa-tients as Partners initiative ad-ministered by the University of Victoria, Self-management BC is a free six-week work-shop for adults with ongoing physical or mental health con-ditions.

Sitting in a comfortable lounge at Lakeside Manor Retirement Residence, resi-dents Randy Kay and Gladys Horsley are enthusiastically in favour of the workshop they recently attended.

It dealt with chronic condi-tions and included participants from Lakeside Manor and the general community.

Kay says he joined because he had several conditions to address.

“The primary condition I was trying to get help on was weight loss, and it was cov-ered very well by establishing an action plan each week,” he says, noting the process in-volved identifying a desired re-sult, de� ning how it would be accomplished and determining a level of con� dence about the outcome.

“Being a procrastinator of the � rst order and having to come back to report to the group,” he says, joining in the laughter when Horsley inter-jects, “It forced you to behave.”

Like Horsley, Kay was im-pressed with how the group brainstormed to � nd solutions to each other’s problems in a respectful way that gave everyone the opportunity to speak without interruption or ridicule.

Eighty-eight-year-old Hors-ley attended the workshop

with her husband of more than 64 years and, like Kay, appre-ciated that whatever was said in the room remained there.

“It’s a good thing for people to get together and feel free to talk in a good way,” she says, noting the sessions gave par-ticipants a better understand-ing of others. “I would cham-pion it.”

“I would jump back in too,” adds Kay, who put his praise in a letter to University of Vic-toria professor and Self-Man-agement BC director Patrick McGowan.

“The bottom line: I learned a great deal about myself and how to make my life more comfortable. I would recom-mend this class to anyone,” he wrote. “The instructors for this course were excellent. They were friendly and very knowl-edgable.”

That is music to Linda Wooster’s ears.

A master trainer, she took the course nearly four years ago during “a low time” in her own life.

“I saw what an advantage it was in my life and I get ex-cited seeing other people come alive after they’ve taken the course,” she says, noting that

while many seniors attend the workshops, participants have mainly been in their 40s and 50s.

“The youngest we had (this time) was in his late 20s and he came every week from Si-camous. He has Parkinson’s and was discouraged at � rst, but he was con� dent by the end that he would be able to play his guitar again.”

While doctors do refer pa-tients to the free self-manage-ment workshops, the program is open to everyone without referral.

Self-management programs were developed and evalu-ated at Stanford University and have been implemented in 26 countries.

The programs teach par-ticipants how to understand and manage their symptoms, make healthier eating choices, become more active, commu-nicate effectively with health-care providers, manage dif� -cult emotions and set realistic goals.

Groups of between 10 to 16 people meet once a week for two-and-a-half hours in ses-sions that are facilitated by pairs of trained lay leaders, many of whom are living with

chronic conditions themselves.So far, only chronic condi-

tions and pain self-manage-ment workshops have been held in Salmon Arm. Wooster would like to expand to other conditions such as arthritis.

“If we get the word out and 10 people are willing to lead the workshop, Linda can train them,” says Monica Auk, a master trainer who has recent-ly moved to Salmon Arm from Alberta.

“I am excited this program is here and I can volunteer,” she says, pointing out partici-pants receive written material, including the book Living a Healthy Life With Chronic Conditions. “I have seen the success of the program inter-nationally.”

Two self-management pain workshops are scheduled for the end of April: Mondays from 6 to 8:30 p.m. at the health unit at 851 16th St. NE, beginning April 28 and Wednesdays from 1 to 3:30 p.m. at the Canadian Mental Health Association at 433 Hudson Ave. NE, begin-ning April 30.

A second mudslide in 10 days took place on Eagle Bay Road on Monday morning.

The incident hap-pened April 7 at ap-proximately 7 a.m. when approximately 20 trees and 30 cubic

metres of mud came down, blocking the road.

A report from the Salmon Arm RCMP indicates the slide is in the same location as the previous slide, which was in the 5900 block of Eagle Bay Road.

“Police attended the scene and there is no damage to persons or property,” said Staff Sgt. Kevin Keane.

A maintenance crew had the road re-opened to traffic by noon Monday. A Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure spokes-

person says an excava-tor will be left on-site for a quicker response in case there’s another occurrence.

“Sometimes dur-ing spring thaw, when soils are weakened (saturated with water, no longer frozen) there will be minor sloughs

such as this,” states the ministry’s press release.

Last week, crews from the Ministry of Transportation and In-frastructure surveyed the bank that gave way March 29. It created a minor mudslide which temporarily blocked

Eagle Bay Road and cut power to some residents.

They were attempt-ing to determine if ad-ditional remedial work was needed.

However, at that time, it was deter-mined no further remediation was re-

quired and no addi-tional work was done.

That slide covered roughly 100 feet of the roadway with mud ap-proximately one foot deep. A number of trees came down.

There were no near-by structures and no people were involved.

Canoe residents are spreading the word and the RCMP is suggesting residents contact them if their cat goes missing, is injured or is found dead.

The word is being spread after Madelaine Lawson found her cat Timmy in severe dis-tress on Friday, March 28. Shortly thereafter the cat died and poison is the suspected cause of death.

“He was foaming at the mouth, slamming up against the wall. It was a horrible death,” she says “We didn’t do an autopsy because it was so expensive, but from what we described to the vet, poisoning was suspected.”

Following the loss, Lawson began to hear more anecdotal stories from other Canoe resi-

dents who had cats go missing, some were in-jured by BB guns, while others appeared to have been poisoned.

“There just seems to be too many to chalk it up to coincidence,” she said.

Rhiannon Schmidt is another Canoe resi-dent who had a cat go missing. Her Balinese, Wolfgang, a long-haired breed, was never found despite an exten-sive two-month search that started last July.

Two days before the cat went missing, he showed up with an in-jury to his head that vets thought might have been caused by a BB.

“I know there are plenty of reasons he could have gone miss-ing and never came back, he could have been hit by a car or someone could have just taken him. He was

a gorgeous, friendly cat. But after hearing so many stories from other residents, and knowing he liked to stay close to home, I suspect foul play of some sort,” she said. “I think it is a good idea for people to be aware, so they can be mindful.”

Lawson has posted a warning on Facebook and at the Canoe post office cautioning resi-dents to take extra care

with their felines. She also made a report to the Salmon Arm RCMP.

“They were very good. They took down

all my information and really encouraged me to tell others that, if they have a similar situation, to call because that is

the only way they can see any type of pattern. The officer told me they take this kind of thing seriously.”

RCMP say shooting a domestic pet with a BB gun is a violation of sec-tion 446 of the Criminal Code.

ALR changes a concern

Shuswap agricultural advocates argue pro-posed changes to how the province manages farmland have little to do with helping the people who work it.

On March 27, the B.C. government an-nounced how it would be improving the Ag-riculture Land Com-mission, the indepen-dent body tasked with protecting farmland in the Agricultural Land Reserve. The changes were the result of a cabinet “core review” headed by Energy and Mines Minister Bill Bennett. A news release states the changes will “protect farmland and maintain the ALC’s in-dependence.”

But John McLeod, retired farmer and pres-ident of the Shuswap Food Action Co-op, has a different take on the recommended changes, which, in summary, he refers to with a pejora-tive term approximat-ing “bull fertilizer.”

“When Christy Clark won the last election, there wasn’t one word about doing a core re-view on the agricultural land reserve or com-mission – she has no mandate to do this,” says McLeod, who be-lieves the key changes in the amendment are to accommodate the Pre-mier’s mandate to get liquid natural gas flow-ing – even from agricul-

tural land. “They don’t have a

plan (for agriculture),” said McLeod. “What they have is a plan to go and frack.”

With Bill 24, the B.C. government will be dividing the ALR into two zones, Zone 1 cov-ering everything from the Okanagan to the Lower Mainland and Vancouver Island, and Zone 2, which takes in the rest of the province. Another major change is that applications for exclusion or subdivi-sion from/on ALR land, normally overseen by the entire ALC, will now go before one of six respective regional panels – Interior, Is-land, Kootenay, North, Okanagan and South Coast.

While Zone 1 panels are tasked to uphold the traditional mandate of the ALC – the preserva-tion of agricultural land, Zone 2 panels must also consider what the province refers to as, “economic, cultural and social values;” “re-gional and community planning objectives;” and “other prescribed considerations.”

This is a concern for Shuswap organic farm-er, Crannog Ales co-owner Rebecca Kneen.

“The mandate pro-cess and what they call in government speak, ‘measurables,’ are not by the ALC, but by the government, and that is a fairly major shift

in policy,” said Kneen. “That’s a fairly major concern because, essen-tially, it removes the in-dependence of the land commission to act on behalf of the land itself and on behalf of agri-culture.”

Another goal of the province is to make agricultural land more viable for farmers in Zone 2, giving the ALC “broader flexibility to consider non-agricul-tural home-based busi-ness.”

Kneen interprets this as helping farmers by

giving them an excuse to remove land from the ALR.

Kneen would have shared her thoughts if there had been a public process, but as she and McLeod point out, Bill 24 was announced with no public consultation.

The BC Food Sys-tems Action Network is calling on the province to put aside the bill and start again, this time through a consultation process similar to what the province did with the Water Sustainability Act.

Journal

Sewing onCarol Van Ommen has moved from restaurants to sewing. After selling the popular Jane’s Place restau-rant in Piccadilly Mall last year, Van Ommen decided she wasn’t ready to retire. An avid participant in classes at The Sewing Basket, owned for 31 years by Jan Rolin, Van Ommen heard their might be an opportunity to buy the business and decided to jump in. Rolin will continue to do classes at the store, but changes are planned including the addi-tion of scrapbooking and summer kids sewing classes. Van Ommen is also scouting for a new expanded location. A full list of classes is now available, so clients can drop in to pick up the schedule. The store can also be reached at 250-832-3937.

New directors at the tableThree new directors joined the board of the Salmon Arm Chamber of Commerce at their March annual general meeting. They are: Lindsay Wong of Lindsay Wong Marketing & Events, Mel Arnold of Complete Marine Detailing and Matt Koivisto of the Salmon Arm Barber Shop.

Women in businessShuswap Women in Business invites all mem-bers and guests to their monthly luncheons. The next business luncheon is Monday, April 14 at the Wicked Spoon Cafe & Grill, located at 200 Trans-Canada Highway, in a complex across Third Street from Centenoka Park Mall. Doors open at 11:30 a.m., with a self-serve, buffet-style lunch being ready at 11:45. Those wishing to stay and network after 1 p.m. may do so.All attendees must RSVP by Thursday, April 10 at 1 p.m. Call Sue at 250-833-8790 and specify lunch or meeting only.

Changes are underway for the Salvation Army in Salmon Arm.

It has announced it will close the Salvation Army Thrift Store at 441 Third Ave. SW, which adjoins the Lighthouse emergency shelter, on Thursday, April 17.

Moving into the space will be the Salvation Army Food Bank as well as a daytime drop-in that will be established in conjunction with the emergency shelter. The change will not affect the food bank’s operation; it will stay in its present location until the new one is ready.

Captain Sheldon Feener says the closure has nothing to do with the addition of a fourth thrift store in Salmon Arm; the closure was in the works prior to the arrival of the new store.

“While the closing of our thrift store is a difficult decision, we are confident that expanding our com-munity services will allow us to offer even greater support to those who are struggling and in need of support in Salmon Arm.”

Agreement on agricultureMemo: Okanagan College partners on educational opportunities.

A seed that was planted

two years ago is on its way to

bearing fruit – or vegetables,

or all things agricultural.

It was smiles all around Fri-

day at the Salmon Arm cam-

pus of Okanagan college, as

Okanagan college President

Jim Hamilton and university

of the Fraser Valley (uFV)

President and Vice-chan-

cellor Mark evered signed a

memorandum of understand-

ing. The agreement formal-

izes the initiative to have the

two institutions work togeth-

er, particularly on opportuni-

ties associated with uFV’s

new British columbia Agri-

culture centre of excellence,

now being built in chilliwack.

“This is a great day for us,”

said Jim Barmby, Okanagan

college’s dean of the Shus-

wap-Revelstoke region, as he

explained the idea came from

Margaret Hardy two years

ago when she was working as

downtown community cam-

pus co-ordinator. It was also

two years ago that Barmby,

Hardy, farmers John Mcleod

and Richard Bell, and leslie

Bogula of the college trav-

elled to uFV to tour the cam-

pus, look over the agriculture

programs offered there and

explore opportunities for

partnerships.

Hamilton told the gather-

The Shaw centre will be the recipient of

$50,000 towards arena upgrades after placing

fourth overall in the Kraft Hockeyville contest.

Announced just before 9 p.m. Saturday,

Salmon Arm generated a total of 847,193 votes

while Sylvan lake, Alta. pocketed 1,563,797

votes to win the western berth into the top two.

The eastern winner was Kingston, nS., who

registered 1,472,836 votes, more than central

Bedeque, P.e.I, who notched 1,403,259 votes.

Voting in the contest opened Saturday,

March 15 and continued for 48 hours until 9

p.m., March 17.

Sylvan lake, Alta. and Kingston, nS. will

both net $100,000 in prize money, while vot-

ing between the top two has now taken place to

see who will win the Hockeyville crown, which

includes hosting an nHl pre-season game and

a feature on cBc.

WARREN IAN RODKAREN DAVE ALLAN MYRON

It was a Christmas present like no other.

Gregg Patterson, coach of the Dr. Chris Main Novice Silver Speedsters hockey team, told the team after their last game before Christmas that they’d won a contest sponsored by the Ca-nucks Centre for BC Hockey.

They would be head-ing to Vancouver on April 1, where they’d watch the Canucks game as well as get to play a three-minute hockey game during the first intermission.

The team has just re-turned from their whirl-wind trip, where they saw the Canucks take on – unsuccessfully – the New York Rangers. But that couldn’t have mattered less to the young fans.

Team member Wyatt O’Brien loved getting to see the game and playing on the ice.

“It was the biggest arena I’ve ever been in and it was really fun.”

He also liked watch-ing the Canucks do

their warm-up, during which they played soc-cer near the dressing room.

Meeting Fin the mas-cot was also a highlight.

“He was nice; he gave me a hockey card.”

Lucas Patterson calls the whole experience really cool.

“I liked going on the ice during the in-termission – and Fin, the mascot, giving me a drink.”

Lucas is a goalie, so Fin the whale kindly sprayed water through his mask for him.

He also liked playing with all the people in the stands watching.

“It was all exciting.”For Nathan Mayes,

the best parts were go-ing on the ice and then watching the game af-terwards.

“Just getting the puck and stuff, having fun.”

He, too, liked meet-ing Fin.

Gregg Patterson was just as pleased as the young players.

“It was great. It was all very professional, they treated us really great. It was quite an experience. A lot of the kids, it was their first

NHL game. It was fun for them and fun for their parents. It was an amazing experience for everybody.”

The highlight for him?

“We got to walk over and stand at the Ca-nucks bench and watch. Just watching your kid out there in front of 18,000 people is pretty amazing.”

Sports

In the end, just 12 seconds separated the winner and second-place finisher in the 12th annual Okanagan College Half Marathon.

Cache Creek’s Ryan Day won the 21.1 ki-lometre event in a time of 1:11:16, edging out the 2013 winner, Hans Aabye, who finished second. Kelowna’s Jeff Vogt came third in the men’s half marathon division with a finishing time of 1:18:35.

On the women’s side, Salmon Arm’s Sandra Kilmartin came in first with a time of 1:28:56. Michelle Blackburne of West Kelowna was second at 1:29:45 and Fruitvale’s Heather Johnson placed third at 1:31:26.

In the 10-km race, the top female finishers also included a Salmon Arm girl.

First place went to Carrie McGillivray of Kelowna (43:50:05).

Second place went to 12-year-old Chan-tel Jeffrey of Blind Bay (43:50:40), who not only keeps up with adult women, but speeds past them. In third place was Vera Geschiere of Kelowna (45:42).

Complete race results are available online at: www.okanagan.bc.ca/halfmarathon.

A big win for Canucks fans

Speed: Salmon Arm’s Sandy Kilmartin is the first woman to finish in the Okana-gan College Half Marathon.

Excitement: The jumbotron at the Rogers Arena shows the local team cheering. Below them, the caption: “Coming up in first in-termission - mini minor hockey. Salmon Arm Speedsters.” Below, Speedster Parker Davidson is interviewed by arena staff.

Minor hockey: Silver Speedsters experience Rogers Arena game.

The weather obliged but the host team did not, as a vastly out-numbered Salmon Arm Secondary girls’ rugby team kicked off their 2014 season with a 17-point loss in Pentic-ton last Wednesday.

The Penticton High School Girls Rugby Team opened the scor-ing with a sideline try in the early minutes.

The Jewels – who played a full 15 with no substitutes for the entire game – responded with a try from winger Grace Rempel ducking under the defence radar.

The teams then set-tled down to a bruising and fast-paced game. After four more tries from PHS, the gutsy Salmon Arm squad dug in during the second half and strung together two tries, finished by standout Olivia Plum-mer and inside centre Avia LaTosky. PHS scored one final try, but was denied several more thanks to deter-mined Salmon Arm tacklers.

To a player, the Jew-els showed grit and hus-tle throughout. They re-buffed dozens of attacks by a large and talented PHS backline, while dominating in the for-

wards despite a consid-erable size differential.

Notable Jewels ef-forts included Kaisha Fagrie’s gutsy debut at fullback, Krystine Hamre’s deft ball thiev-ery in lineouts and loose play, Brooke Miller’s timely monster tack-les, and rookie Heather Wolfear’s constant pres-sure during scrambled play.

The team finished out their first regular-season game with good spirit.

With further experi-ence, they show great promise for the upcom-ing season.

SAS coaches say ad-ditional players, wheth-er recruits or latecom-ers, would be welcome and should contact them at the Jackson campus for practice in-formation. The Wom-en’s Canadian Rugby program is ranked fifth in the world.

Game score 34 -15 for Penticton.

Exhibition funIn youth rugby play,

the Shuswap kids had a bit more fun than the Vernon kids.

The Shuswap Selects rugby team scored a 45-5 win over the Ver-non Panthers in a youth rugby league contest in

Salmon Arm. The game featured

players between the ages of 14 and 16 who are trying out the sport in a fun atmosphere.

Michael Smith of Vernon opened the scoring with a try, but Harrison Moore replied with a pair of tries for Shuswap.

Malcolm Smith al-

most had a try for the Cats, but Jackson Love of the Selects tackled him, then ran back the ball for another try for Shuswap, and Moore added another major before halftime.

In the second half, Chris Lee scored two more tries for Shuswap and Moore added one at the end of the game.

Selects coach Sam Siedelmen singled out Wyatt Dickonson and Jacob Bradley for great defensive play.

“We really were out-classed today,” said Panthers coach Ian Winston.

The teams are play-ing exhibition games as there is no official league in place.

Jewels pressed in wine country

True grit: Jewel Krystine Hamre supports as teammate Grace Rempel fires a pass under pressure from host Penticton Secondary School Lakers players. The Lakers earned a 34-15 win.

The Salmon Arm Secondary Senior Girls Soccer team played in their first tournament this past weekend in Kelowna.

The tournament was a great learning experi-ence for the girls and the team got stronger with each game. It’s a young team with only three returning Grade 12 players from last year (although there are five Grade 12s).

SAS tied the first

game with LV Rogers 1-1 with a great perfor-mance by goalie Con-ner Turner.

The second game was against Immacula-ta, which SAS lost 3-0. Player of the game was Kayla Byers.

The third game of the day was against Mt Boucherie ‘AA’, which SAS won 1-0 on a goal by Libby Olsen. Player of the game was Gabby Jackson.

On Saturday Salmon

Arm played Osoyoos and went to PKs, win-ning 4-3. Player of the game was Maia McLel-lan. The last game was versus Similkameen, which SAS won 2-0 on goals from Glynis Sim and Maddie Lavery. Player of the game was Holly Nickles.

In the first league game Monday in Pent-icton, the game ended in a 0-0 draw. The team’s now off to Victoria for a tournament.

Control: Rebecca McDonald of the Salmon Arm Secondary Senior Girls Soc-cer Team shields the ball during a 0-0 tie game in Penticton versus the Lakers.

ARTS & EVENTS

Memories of a happy day with family and friends have earned artist Lisa Figueroa � rst prize and top honours at the Federation of Canadian Artists show in Kamloops.

Hosted by the Thompson, Nicola, Shuswap chapter of the federation, the show is a call to artist members from across the country.

Figueroa’s winning paint-ing, “Lilies of the Upper Eagle,” was inspired by an area of the Enchanted For-est.

The attraction was a popular spot with Figueroa and her two boys when they were little.

When the owner added little yellow rowboats to the popular tourist draw, Figueroa, family and long-time friends tried them out – something that scared then-three-year-old Austin.

The day brightened con-siderably when a calmed-down Austin was able to get back in the boat.

“It was one of those fab-ulous family and friends times, when new experienc-es are scary,” says Figueroa. “But it was a stunningly beautiful day.”

Austin is now 19 and � rst-born Eric, 22. And for more than 16 years, memories of that day have been percolat-ing in Figueroa’s brain.

“It’s part of my way of painting through events of my life,” she says. “I hold onto the events in my head and they become more fan-tastic, or surreal or exotic

than perhaps the present, so part of my process is how images live and thrive in my brain,”

Figueroa says photos and sketches aid her in eventu-ally coming up with an im-age for her “idolized sce-narios.”

“It lives in my brain for a long time, then I think about it and compose it, and it’s through that it comes down onto the canvas, differently than anyone else would do it.”

Figueroa, who teaches at her studio downstairs at the Art Centre on Hudson Av-

enue, calls this “inno-vating her experienc-es,” making them into something only she can see.

“I have wanted to paint it (Lil-ies of the Upper Eagle” forever,” she says, noting the other couple on that day-long ad-venture so long ago, has a shared and precious history that includes attending mar-

riages and having their � rst children around the same time.

The other i m p o r t a n t

aspect of her winning paint-ing is the setting.

“It’s not just part of the Eagle River that � ows into Sicamous where I live, it’s about my life with my

husband, my children, my friends,” she says. “It’s like a diary, but it’s in full living colour and with the love I feel for my people, my riv-ers, my province and my home.”

And Figueroa wants her viewers to feel her intense, deep devotion and faithful-ness to the land.

“That’s what painting and art are to me – a deep

connection to the natu-ral environment. Sockeye salmon come back there (Eagle River) to spawn and I love the life the river has led, and if you think about it the last spike is right there and the Eagle River runs right behind.”

Like an ever-� owing his-tory book, Figueroa says the rivers have been witness to stories born long before humans, through the begin-ning of development when men with big axes appeared on the scene, to present day activities on and near the river.

“The Shuswap Watershed carries a lot of knowledge and I am passionate about the water and its journey,” she says. “Water is miracu-lous; it’s beautiful that it comes to rest in the valley. The water is peaceful – the � sh can return, lilies can grow and then it makes it’s way to the Paci� c.”

Figueroa calls the cycle astonishing and says she feels honoured to be able to draw and paint the sur-roundings in which she feels so blessed to live.

Now 54, Figueroa began painting when she was four or � ve years old.

She graduated from clas-sical animation from Sheri-dan College in Oakville, Ont., followed by a year of commercial art at George Brown College in Toronto and other courses at On-tario College of Art.

Figueroa offers multi-media courses in many styles. She is available at 250-803-3036.

CLASSIC 360 Alexanderplaying at the GRAND 100 Hudson Avenue

Most people have two funny bones – one in each arm. Hit them and you’ll likely double over in a strange mixture of laughing and crying.

Far funnier and totally pain-less – although you may laugh till you cry – is Lorne Elliott, who arrives in Salmon Arm next week on his Break Out Your Funny Bones Tour.

With some 40 years worth of writing and performing under his belt, Elliott feels perfectly at ease on stage, with a wealth of funny fodder to fuel his hilari-ous shows.

But Elliott’s material has not gone stale with time.

Every show is different, a mix of the already-written with im-prov, as ideas that hit his own funny bone are integrated into the show – combining his trade-mark dry humour with newly minted musical parodies and skits.

He says politics do creep into his material, and describes 2014 as a long winter and a good year to become politically obsessed.

“It started to happen about six months ago on-stage. Every time I mentioned Steven Harper, the audience was growling and grinding their teeth,” he says, musing on the effect power and its pursuit have on some indi-viduals, often politicians, and how it prevents them from doing their jobs.

“Like most Canadians, I am waiting for the time to cast a bal-lot and kick the bums out.”

As well as the Canadian expe-rience, Elliott tailors his shows

to each community he visits.“It’s very important to focus

on where you are; it makes it much more real to the people here,” he says. “It’s the reason why live is powerful.”

Fond of the Shuswap, El-liott still chuckles at the joke he crafted the last time he was here.

It’s about tens of thousands of salmon toiling their way up the Adams River whose banks are lined with curious humans and asking each other, “how did they � nd their way here?”

For the past 26 years, Elliott has been touring and performing in concert across Canada, the U.S. and Australia. For 11 sea-sons “Madly Off In All Direc-tions” was his own CBC Radio Comedy Series and he is cur-rently developing new projects as well as working as a play-wright and novelist.

In 2012, Elliott received the Playwrights Guild of Canada Best New Musical Award for his play Jamie Rowsell Livesand his � rst novel Beach Read-ing was published in July 2013 and was selected as a � nalist by Quebec Writers Federation for the Hugh MacLennan Fiction Prize.

Elliott says he feels very priv-ileged to do what he does and honoured that people � ock to his shows.

Elliott is a shrewd observer of the human animal. Often self-deprecating, always silly and never profane and � rmly on top of current affairs, Elliott’s funny is suitable for the whole family.

Elliott appears at the Salmar Classic Theatre at 7:30 p.m. Thursday, April 17. Tickets are available at Acorn Music. Call 250-832-8669.

It’s a change of scen-ery that brought Jordan Dick to Salmon Arm.

It’s the music that keeps him here.

“I moved here four- and-a-half years ago and Sandy (Cameron) was one of the first people I met,” he says, noting Salmon Arm’s cultural scene was a surprise, but one he em-braced by playing with Jazz Salmon Arm, also known as the Jazz Club. “I don’t think I’d still be here, I would have moved somewhere else.

By joining the club, and booking acts since Cameron moved to Vancouver Island last summer, Dick has been given the opportunity to play with Juno award-winning musicians from across Canada.

He says when Cam-eron started the club, musicians used Salm-on Arm as a stopover on their way to gigs in Vancouver. But the club and the always-enthusiastic audiences have turned that around so that Salmon Arm has become the booking of choice.

Dick says musicians give Salmon Arm Jazz venue and audiences rave reviews. In an email to Dick, Vancou-ver saxophone player Brent Mah said:

“I’ve played in al-most every city in the country and I can hon-estly say you have a pretty unique thing hap-

pening here. I was re-ally stoked to see what you’ve done with the jazz scene since the last time I was there.”

Since September, the smallest audience to at-tend the jazz nights that occur on the second and fourth Thursday of the month in the banquet room of Shuswap Chefs has been 77 people.

“The audience has been blown away by the music and the musi-cians have been blown away by the audience,” he says of the mutual admiration. “Ninety per cent of the groups get in touch with us now and I already have three acts booked for April 2015.”

Admitting to being obsessed by the jazz scene and constantly looking at clubs on the Internet, Dick says the Jazz Club’s mandate is to book acts on a 50 per cent local and 50 per cent out-of-town ratio of musicians.

And if there is no act planned, well, you just form a new group for a gig, such as Safe-word, a jazz quartet that will perform tomorrow night. Safeword is Dick on guitar, Blair Shier, a professional guitar player on electric bass, Garreth Seys on trom-bone and Devon Ley-enhost on drums.

“He’s the newest member, a young guy in his early 20s,” Dick says. “He’s phenom-enal and this will be his debut.”

Mixing rich jazz harmonies with groov-

ing funk and R&B rhythms, Dick de-scribes Safeword as Salmon Arm’s latest modern jazz inception.

“The group will per-form a variety of famil-iar songs in a potential-ly unfamiliar manner; utilizing the magic of improvisation,” says Dick. “I am very excit-ed about this particular project.”

The Willy Gaw Quin-tet performs Thursday, April 24 and on May 1, jazz fans won’t want to miss a special home-coming performance by Sandy Cameron and his group, Aged to Per-fection.

Jazz Club concerts begin at 7 p.m. Doors open at 6:30 and a tapas menu is available. Din-ner is available at the restaurant by reserva-tion.

“Admission is by

donation. We’d like to remind you that we are a non-profit group, we get no funding outside the club and the door donations are the major source of the money we have to pay the musi-cians,” says Dick of the admission-by-donation policy.

“We want to make it accessible and afford-able and I encourage everyone to come.”

Dick will also per-form Friday, April 11 at the Pie Company with Tanya Lipscomb, a member of the Dharma Dolls, who have per-formed to appreciative audiences at the Jazz Club.

“We did a three-day gig at a heli skiing lodge – nine sets in three days,” says Dick, who is working on a summer concert series for Thursday nights

in July and August. “I played 100 songs I’ve never played before, everything from Louis Armstrong to Jimi Hen-drix.”

Jazz part of a vibrant scene

Debut: Safeword jazz band members Blair Shier, bass, Gareth Seys, trombone, Devon Leyenhorst, drums and guitarist Jordan Dick rehearse for their upcoming performance Thursday evening at the Salmon Arm Jazz Club.

Lisa Figueroa and her portrait students are presenting two simulta-neous shows of portrait work throughout April at the Salmon Arm Branch of the Okana-gan Regional Library.

Figueroa, Bonnie Jackson, Taryn Gar-rett, Hanne Giuffrida, Jadranka Zizak and Su-san Miller are each dis-playing a large framed drawn portrait and three smaller ink portraits.

Drawn on index cards, some 75 card por-traits have been placed between the pages of library books and will become the property of those patrons lucky enough to find them in a borrowed book.

The “Index Card Portrait Show” is on permanent exhibition or until all of the “por-traits” have been found and kept, says Figueroa, whose art studio is downstairs at the Arts Centre on Hudson Ave-

nue. Borrowing the idea from the National Gal-lery in Ottawa, librarian Roswitha Klawitter and

Figueroa have partnered to bring found art to the local library.

For more informa-

tion, contact Figueroa at [email protected] or call 250-803-3036.

There’ll be a hot time in the old hall this Friday.

On the back loop of a Western Canada tour, the Steve Brockley Band will make a stop at Sunny-brae Hall – and they’re bringing some talented friends.

Named for singer-songwriter Steve Brockley, the band is also comprised of former Shuswap resident Leon Power and Eric Nielsen, a bass player and vocal-ist, who is making his Shuswap debut.

Power, who admits to singing once in a while, will play man-dolin in Friday’s acoustic con-cert.

“We usually play electric, but for this show, we’re doing a sin-gle-mike, old-style concert like the old bluegrassers did,” Power says. “We don’t do them that of-ten, but it’s a nice opportunity to play songs in a different format that maybe people haven’t heard before.”

Though it is apparent the band is part of the tradition of folk mu-sic, it can’t easily be defined by one sound or musical genre.

These musicians are able to take the style in new directions without making the audience feel uprooted.

Also in the tradition of J.J. Cale, Townes Van Zandt, Bob Dylan and Hank Williams, Van-couver musician Bob Sumner of the Sumner Brothers will make

an appearance Friday night.“I’ve toured with them and

I’ve brought them up here a couple of times, so people are getting to know them,” Power says. “He’s (Bob) a really good songwriter and a great guitarist.”

Touring California with the Sumner Brothers led to a meet-ing with Friday night’s third act, Willy Tea Taylor.

On their first trip, the trio played in a cowboy town near Yosemite National Park, where they met and became good friends with Taylor.

“He blew us away. He plays an old four-string guitar and his presence on stage is unlike any-one I’ve ever seen,” raves Power. “He very simply sits down and plays his songs. It’s very cap-tivating and you can really tell

he’s lost in his songs.”Since their first meeting, Tay-

lor has spoken of coming to Canada, something Sumner was finally able to encourage for the last two shows on the Steve Brockley Band’s tour.

A Vancouverite for more than a year, Power says the move has been a stellar choice.

“I was lucky that a lot of friends over the years have moved there, so it was a pretty easy move,” he says. “I definitely miss the Shuswap, but there’s absolutely more opportunity. I am busy all the time.”

The April 11 show at Sunny-brae Hall begins at 8 p.m. Doors open at 7 and tickets at $20 each are available at Acorn Music, Synergy Studio and the Shuswap Pie Company.

Time OuTARIES (March 21-April 19): Mercury steps in your own sign this week allowing you to voice your opinions and get your point across. Typically, the transits of Mercury would be too aggressive and direct for others, but with such an emphasis on compassion and spiritual love, there is no need to filter any discussions now. It is time to take action with your health, work, and daily life. Do some aspects need to be re-worked? Now is the time to actively create that balanced lifestyle you are seeking.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Watch out for impulsive actions this week. Your subconscious mind will be fully activated and you might trip yourself up, if you are not careful. Actively seek balance with your work, health regime and daily activities and you will fly through this week with no issues. Re-address previous issues with romantic interests or work colleagues to clear up any confusion. The more focused you are on the details, the less likely you are to run into any difficulties.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Your energy will be direct and forward moving this week. You may not be aware of it, but actions taken this week will help move you towards your aspirations in a grand and productive way. Think before you act, although there is a tendency to readdress your actions. This will only lend more value towards your true passions and will create more peace of mind and harmony for you now and in the future.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): Finding that perfect balance between home life and work will be on the agenda this week. The more in harmony you are at home, the more you’ll be able to move forward with your career. Conversations had at work will leave you inspired and will give you a new perspective on how truly knowledgeable you are. Do share your wisdom with others - it will not only benefit them, it will give you a sense of well-earned pride. Your sense of timing is on mark this week.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): This week is about walking your talk. You will have this sudden epiphany that will change your perspective on the value you place on your aspirations and hopes. Conversations you have with friends at home will be just what you need in order to create a more peaceful state of mind. Challenge your peer group to see life through a different lens, but don’t become overly aggressive in trying to prove your point or else it will not come across well. Be direct in a compassionate way.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): After a long period of time of being inspired by others, now you will want to directly instigate change with those closest to you. Pause before you take action this week. Make sure whatever action that is being reinforced is something that speaks to your values and morals. A clear conscience will take you a long way, and actions taken now will have long term

implications towards your finances and personal worth.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Conversations with significant relationships, either business or romantic, will take a direct and to the point manner this week. Others will seek you out for the perfect balance between action and forethought. A new perspective on life is just want you need, and one-to-one relationships will instigate the change you are seeking for yourself. There is more to life than meets the eye, this week. You’ll feel connected to others on a spiritual level.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Random conversations on your daily routine and at work will leave you ready to make those much needed changes in your life. Meditate on letting go of fears and attachments no longer needed. Then soon your hopes and dreams will start to come true. Actions behind the scenes will take on a greater meaning for you at this time, and they will have long term implications for your health, work, and daily routine.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Romance will be found when celebrating life with friends this week. Enchantment and love will be top priority for you and you will actively seek out inspiration at home towards your hopes and desires. Actions taken this week will have positive long term implications towards your aspirations and hopes. Working with others will be your quickest route to the top, think before you do anything, and make sure there is truth in every step you take.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): There will be some lively debates going on with your family this week. Whether you want to admit it or not, they have the sage wisdom you need in order to find that balance you are looking for within your career and home life. Listen before you react. Actions taken this week will have a long term dialogue with the future you are seeking.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Conversations had this week will give you a more balanced perspective on life. Siblings will be direct with trying to get their point across. Listen to the voices that offer you harmony and peace of mind, as this will prove to help you overcome any obstacles you are currently facing. You vision is becoming more clear, now is the time to walk your talk!

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Conversations will focus on finances and your personal worth this week. If needed, consult a professional or simply ask for advice. The actions you take this week will have long term financial implications for you personally. You are inspiring others to take action. Let bygones be bygones and take action towards the future you are seeking. Harmony is within reach, have faith, and step forward with a properly calculated move.

City crews work to patch potholes

Spring has sprung, flowers are beginning to grow, and on Salm-on Arm roads, potholes have begun to prolifer-ate.

“It starts a bit ear-lier, but around now is when we tend to see the wear and tear of winter,” says Rob Hein, manager of roads and parks.

Hein says while there was some addi-tional frost heaving this year, the pothole issues are pretty typical, de-spite an extremely vari-able winter.

City work crews have been already do-ing patch work on many of the area’s pot-holes and Hein says the city tries to respond to pothole complaints within 48 hours.

He suggested anyone

with a particular con-cern may contact the city and get their prob-lematic pothole put on the list. The city’s web-site also offers a ‘report a pothole feature.’

Hein notes at this time of year pothole fixes are temporary, until the city can get out and do a hot as-phalt fix, which does not happen until the asphalt plants open in mid-May.

Volunteers help lock out crimeThe Salmon Arm

RCMP Citizens Pa-trol will be running its Lock Out Auto Crime campaign this month.

During April, com-munity policing vol-unteers will be hand-ing out information on

auto crime as well as issuing notices on ve-hicles that might be a target for theft.

The purpose of this is to remind vehicle owners to take steps to prevent themselves from becoming a vic-

tim of auto crime.As well, the Salmon

Arm RCMP Citizens Patrol is always look-ing for volunteers. Applications are avail-able from the RCMP detachment or at mem-bers.shaw.ca/sacp.

Chimney

Robert Babakaiff of Arro Wood Heat Services has been in business for 5 years. A 45-year resident of Salmon Arm, he believes in buying his products locally.

After being laid off from Coe/Newnes, he saw there was a need for a reliable wood heat technician. He became certified in the WETT program – which is a Canadian recognized association, allowing him to be able to inspect, install and maintain wood burning stoves and fireplaces.

His services include chimney sweeping, estimates and advice on purchasing and installation of wood burning stoves, such as size needed for the square footage, and the best stove to meet your needs. Robert’s motto “Burning Clean = More Green” not only refers to the money saved when keeping your stove or fireplace maintained, it also refers to the environment, as the new stoves burn cleaner and more efficiently.

Repeat customers are spreading the word of his fair pricing and thorough job.

For all your wood heat needs, call Robert today for an estimate.

April is nationalCancer is a disease that can strike people of all ages from all walks of life. Nobody is invulnerable to cancer, not even our children. Based on current incidence rates, 38% of Canadian women and 44% of men will develop cancer during their lifetimes

New debate over need for mammogramsRecent � ndings concerning the number of breast cancer deaths that have been prevented by mammograms has led to a shi� in thinking regarding the ef-� cacy of mammograms when screening for cancer.

A study from Canadian re-searchers published in the Feb-ruary 11, 2014 issue of the Brit-ish Medical Journal followed nearly 90,000 women for 25 years. � ese women were ran-domly assigned to either get mammograms and screening by trained nurses or to receive no screening beyond self-breast exams. � e results showed that 22 percent of aggressive breast cancers were overanalyzed and would been too minor to pose a life threat. Furthermore, the results concluded that wom-en getting mammograms were just as likely to die from breast cancer as those who didn’t get them. Experts also warned that the radiation used in mammo-grams could actually put wom-en at greater risk for developing cancer.

� is study is not the only one to highlight overin� ated bene� ts of regular mammograms. Sev-eral additional studies have ul-timately questioned the advan-tages of annual mammograms. Women who are diagnosed with breast cancer through mam-mography may endure certain

unnecessary treatments for slow-growing cancers that were a miniscule health threat.

Dr. Erika Schwartz, author of “Dr. Erika’s Healthy Balance” newsletter, hasn’t had a mam-mogram in 15 years and � nds that women are generally over-radiated and overprodded. Dr. Schwartz recommends self-ex-aminations as the best way for women to check for signs of can-cer. Should a suspicious lump be found, other tests for cancer exist. One such test is an ultra-sound, which uses less radiation than a mammogram.

Statistics point out approxi-mately 200,000 women and a few men are diagnosed annually with breast cancer in the United States alone, and that breast can-cer kills roughly 40,000 people per year, according to the Amer-ican Cancer Society.

Despite studies and statistics, immediate changes with respect to mammogram screenings are unlikely. Doctors are likely to remain cautious, and many still advocate for annual mammo-grams.

Ultimately, the decision to get or forgo a mammogram remains a woman’s choice, even if it’s one that research has shown may require more careful consider-ation than many women would otherwise think.

Cancer Awareness MonthOvercoming cancer and celebrating life

Nobody is immune to this devastating disease, despite the progress that has been made.

With the arrival of April we also welcome da� odils and the Canadian Cancer Soci-ety’s annual awareness cam-paign. It is always inspiring to see these springtime sym-bols of renewal and hope.

� e volunteers at the Canadian Cancer Society are hard at work in their communities and across Canada, knocking on doors, organizing special events, and o� ering their legendary yellow da� odils in the form of pins or

in all their fresh, natural beauty.Donations collected during

Da� odil Month are used to fund cancer research, public informa-tion programs, and services re-lated to the prevention of cancer. � is money is also used to advo-cate for survivors and support people living with cancer, as well as their families and caregivers.

Would you like to make a do-nation to the Society? During April, when the campaign is in full swing, you can purchase beautiful da� odils or a pin to

wear in your lapel to show your solidarity for this cause.

You can also donate via the Society’s website atwww.cancer.ca.

Would you like to actively participate in the campaign?

You could organize a fund-raising event or participate in an event organized as part of the campaign, such as the Relay for Life. You could also simply sponsor a participant.

Nobody is immune to this

devastating disease, despite all the progress that has been made. By participating in Daf-fodil Month in any way you can, you will be helping in the � ght against cancer.
