Residents refuse meters
An assurance from the B.c. govern-ment regarding smart meter installation falls short for some Shuswap residents.
Rich coleman, B.c.’s minister of en-ergy, mines and natural gas, recently is-sued a letter to the media that’s posted on Bc Hydro’s website, stating: “I am writing to assure your readers that Bc Hydro will be working with its custom-ers over the next several months to help them understand the benefits of new smart meters prior to final installation. during this time, Bc Hydro will not install a new meter without the home-owner’s consent and will work directly with customers to address their individ-ual concerns.”
He goes on to say that smart meters are safe.
“B.c’s Provincial Health Officer and Health canada have confirmed that smart meters pose no known health risk or reason for concern. Some customers remain unwilling to accept that fact, and we will work with them to help allay their concerns.”
coleman states that Bc Hydro has installed 1.74 million smart meters in B.c., with 85,000 left to go.
“As a result, they will be revisiting customers who originally turned down the smart meters to better understand their concerns, provide them with cred-ible answers to their questions and fin-ish the final installations.”
He concludes that upgrading the elec-trical grid will save B.c. $1.6 billion over the next 20 years, but maintaining a separate system with analog meters would “detract from our goal: keeping electricity rates affordable.”
edgar Murdoch, a spokesperson with Smart Meter Awareness Society, Okan-agan/Shuswap, says he is suspicious, given government duplicity surround-ing the program. It wasn’t long ago, he adds, that the company installing the meters was using tactics such as un-marked vehicles to install them where
they weren’t wanted. Why would such tactics be necessary, he asks, if they are such a benefit?
“If they’re such a good thing, why is there such worldwide resistance?”
He notes that in some jurisdictions in california, smart meters are not only banned, but have become a criminal of-fence. France is spending $75 million to remove wifi from schools, he says.
“There is absolutely overwhelming evidence throughout the world from independent scientists who don’t have a penny to gain…,” he says, noting that wireless technology is listed as a class 2B carcinogen, but “scientists are say-ing it should be class 2A. It is a cancer-ous carcinogen.”
The precautionary principal is not be-ing exercised, Murdoch says.
“That’s the whole thing. nobody knows. There’s no history attached to smart meters. There’s decades of history
attached to tobacco,” he notes, pointing out that it was once considered safe. “Today, it’s costing us one-and-half bil-lion dollars a year for health costs and loss of productivity in B.c. alone. Sci-entists say that wireless technology to-day is the tobacco of yesterday.”
Playcare early childhood centre in Salmon Arm has refused a smart me-ter on its building. co-owner Jamie Treleaven says they have many reasons, but the main one is lack of evidence re-garding safety.
He says because the centre has a con-centration of young children – birth to five years – who may be particularly susceptible, the owners don’t want to risk it.
“experts are saying there could pos-sibly be a cumulative effect – and ‘pos-sibly’ is enough for me.”
BC Hydro: Despite corporate claims they are safe, opposition to the wireless technology remains firmly entrenched.
No thank you: Jamie Treleaven, co-owner of Playcare Early Child-hood Centre, looks at the sign refusing a smart meter the centre has posted next to its analog meter.

Piccadilly Mall gets new owners
After more than two decades, ownership of the Mall at Piccadilly has changed.
Bill laird and Sheldon Pukas have sold the mall that the laird and Pukas families have owned for many years. The purchaser is Standard life Invest-ments out of Toronto, with its headquarters in edin-burgh, Scotland.
no major changes are planned. laird says he thinks the new ownership will be
good for the community, and he’s hoping the trans-fer will be seamless.
“There was a number of people interested, we were quite careful we chose someone who under-stood shopping centres, were intending to hold it and were going to participate in it,” he said, noting that Standard life has con-tracted colliers Interna-tional, property managers, to manage the mall. In the transfer of ownership, all the employees have been retained, including mall manager lori cymbaluk. One construction worker has moved on but it was his decision to do so.
laird, Sheldon’s father Paul Pukas and colin Mayes bought the mall in 1991 and, a few years later, Mayes sold his interest. The mall now becomes a part of the Standard life Real estate Fund, which has more than $1 billion in assets under management.
Glenn d’Silva, fund manager, told the Observer, plans are to work with the existing tenants.
“I met with a number of tenants, it’s a partner-ship between us and our tenants as to how this mall goes... They have raised some things they’d like to see that they think the community would like. We are investigating those opportunities but nothing right now we can say, concrete, we’re going to bring so-and-so to the market.”
Standard life Investments also owns malls in Williams lake, Merritt, Surrey and Squamish.
He said the fund he manages is owned by pension funds with long-term views on real estate – “we’re

not flippers.”Laird said he and Pu-
kas always enjoyed the interaction with com-munity organizations at the mall, as well as the presence of longtime employees and long-time tenants.
Laird said neither he nor Pukas plans to re-tire. After bringing the mall to a strong level, they felt it was time to move on to the next project.
On that topic, Laird has purchased the va-cant Honda building on the Trans-Canada High-way.
He is currently mar-keting it and will be working with the city’s development services staff to get the building filled.
His aim, he said, is
to find “somebody who properly supports the community, to move the town forward and keep it vibrant. That’s the whole objective.”
Across the highway at the former home of the Old Dog Pub, the new owner of the prop-erty has also been work-ing on improvements.
Lorenz Eppinger and his Ontario company bought the property about a year ago. It in-cludes the former pub and liquor store and the ongoing McGuire Lake Congregate Living fa-cility.
He has gutted the pub and liquor store and fixed up the building. The McGuire Lake fa-cility will remain.
“We wanted to make it nice, sort of the gate-way of the town as we came down the Trans-Canada,” he said.
His plan is for office/retail space, with two of the three spaces on the way to being filled.
“We’re pretty close to having some com-mercial tenants in there and I can’t really tell you who yet. It’s up to them.”
At the west end of town, the SmartCen-tres development is still awaiting approvals from the Ministry of Transportation and In-frastructure.
MOTI spokesperson
Kate Trotter said the city’s development per-mit still needs ministry approval.
“The Ministry of Transportation and In-frastructure is currently consulting with First Nations. Depending on the outcome of the con-sultation, the provincial sign-off could be com-pleted this spring.”
He gives other rea-sons for their oppo-sition, including an invasion of privacy – where installers haven’t wanted to take no for an answer. Treleaven also points to the billions of dollars in profits being made from the technol-ogy, which could mean those who stand to prof-it won’t be scrutinizing it carefully.
If it eventually turns out to be safe – fine, he says, but if there’s any chance the cumulative effects of the technol-ogy could be harmful,
he’d rather not take the risk.
Nel van der Toorn moved from the Lower Mainland eight years ago to lessen her expo-sure to noise and light pollution and electro-magnetic energy be-cause she has multiple sclerosis. She says such things as car alarms, house alarms, satellite TV and cell phone tow-ers all have a cumula-tive effect.
“It does have a physi-ological effect on those of us with neurological disorders,” she says, noting she has difficulty sleeping if she has wifi
plugged in. “I’ve done a lot of
things to make sure I’m not overtoxifying my body…,” she notes, ex-plaining she’s very high functioning despite the disease. “A big one is electromagnetic ener-gy. It has a huge effect. It has to, as the brain is electromagnetic.”
She adds, regarding smart meters: “Keep in mind Switzerland took it out, California is in the process, Luxem-burg has done it, part of Poland. Switzer-land passed a law that it can be nowhere near schools or hospitals…”

Shuswap doctors shell out for equipment
Doctors in the local emergency room want to provide the best care possible, and the’ve backed it up with their own cash.
About a dozen ER doctors have contrib-uted a great deal of money to purchase a portable ultrasound and other equipment.
“Essentially we’ve given back close to $100,000 for equip-ment to further en-hance our ability to care for Salmon Arm patients,” says Dr. Darren Lorenz, head of ER. “That includes a new portable ultra-sound machine and a warming and cooling machine which will be very helpful for trau-mas, near drownings and cardiac arrest.”
Lorenz describes the portable ultrasound as providing “an ex-tra physical exam”
that can be used for traumas to make sure people aren’t bleeding in the belly and around the heart or check for aneurisms or ectopic pregnancies. “It gives us a lot more infor-mation to make more timely decisions,” he says, emphasizing the new machine in no way diminishes the need for the imaging department.
As well as the doc-tors’ contribution, Shuswap Lake Gen-eral Hospital received $200,000 from the British Columbia Med-ical Association’s Joint Standing Committee for Rural Issues.
“We want people to know this has helped with physician reten-tion and recruitment,” says Lorenz. “We’ve opened up an extra shift on weekends, es-pecially in summer. This is pretty huge for us.” The funds have also been directed to
various educational opportunities for doc-tors and nurses to keep them at the top of their game. “Everyone wants to provide the best care to patients in Salmon Arm,” says Lorenz, noting the new equipment has other doctors interested in
coming to Shuswap Lake General Hospital.
Hospital man-ager Mark Pugh agrees. “There’s been a good progression in the past five years. We started doing CT scans in October 2009 and now they’re being done 24-7 and we have
the third X-ray room,” he says.
Another new piece of equipment is a non-invasive colonography,
essentially a CT scan that is performed when a doctor feels a patient should not have a colo-
noscopy or when colo-noscopy results are not satisfactory says radi-ologist Kevin Beckner.
Ultrasound: Portable machine now available to assist doctors in making accurate diagnoses.
Getting a visual: Dr. Darren Lorenz and Shuswap Lake Gen-eral Hospital nurse Rob LaBelle demonstrate the hospital’s new portable ultrasound device on hospital manager Mark Pugh.

Trying to cash inSalmon Arm RCMP have received multiple reports of thefts or attempted thefts of change from vending and change machines at various locations in Salmon Arm. The most recent incident occurred on Feb. 3, when a man attempted to steal change from a vending machine at a car wash on 10th Street SW. Security video surveillance of the incident revealed that the suspect is a male, who was wearing an orange jacket and driving a small red pickup truck with a white canopy. Police are still investigating this and the other reported incidents. Anyone with information regarding this incident or any other criminal offences is asked to contact the Salmon Arm RCMP or Crime Stoppers.
Thrift store break inSome time overnight between 6 p.m. Friday, Feb. 1, and 8 a.m. on Saturday, Feb. 2, a suspect or suspects broke into the Salmon Arm Church-es Thrift Store, located on Beatty Avenue. The suspects entered the thrift store by forcing a door open. Once inside, they were able to locate and steal a small amount of cash.
extreme inebriationOn Friday, Feb. 1, at approximately 4:41 p.m., Salmon Arm RCMP attended to a report of a man lying face down at Hudson Street and Beattie Avenue. Upon police attendance, they located a 77-year-old man, face down in the snow. An ambulance was called and paramedics determined that the male was not injured or in distress but was grossly intoxicated. The male was arrested for being intoxicated in a public place and lodged in cells until he was sober enough to be safely released.
Second teen approached, no link to previous case
RCMP in Salmon Arm say the details in the report of a second case where a teenaged girl was approached by a stranger in a vehicle make it unlikely the two are linked.
On Jan. 29, a 14-year-old girl is reported to have been approached by a man in a vehicle near the South Canoe Alternate Learning Centre on 10th Avenue SE. The witness reports the man stopped his car and told the girl to “get in or else.” The girl ran away, not stopping until reaching Little Moun-tain Park.
The description of the suspect differed from the Jan. 24 incident. In the most recent one, the girl described the sus-pect as having gelled hair, which was shorter in the back, a goatee and glasses, with a clip-on sunglasses attachment. The car was described as a dark grey, two-door model.
The incident was reported to police six hours after it occurred,
making it more diffi-cult for police to try and identify a suspect.
“Without wanting to create undue alarm, it can be a good time to re-view safety precautions about strangers with your children,” says Staff Sgt. Kevin Keane. “But these cases do not seem to be connected.”
In the Jan. 24 inci-dent, police are looking for a man in a late-mod-el beige Oldsmobile in connection with what appears to be an at-tempted abduction of a teenaged girl. Police say a 17-year-old girl was walking along 30th Street NE about 10 a.m. on Jan. 24 when the man attempted to lure her into his vehicle.
The man initially ap-proached the girl in his car, pulling up beside her and asking for di-rections.
She did not respond.He then asked if
she wanted a ride and grabbed her hand. The victim was able to pull her hand away and flee the scene.
The suspect is de-scribed as an older man, unshaven with greyish
brown hair that is thin-ning at the top.
The Oldsmobile has some rust and various dents on the side.
Police are asking any-one who may be able to identify the suspect to contact the local RCMP Detachment or Crime Stoppers.

Plans call for TCH traffic lights
City council has agreed to the prov-ince’s plan for two new highway intersec-tions with traffic lights in west Salmon Arm, though actual instal-lation may be years down the road.
The intersections are part of future works west of town covered in a Statement of In-tentions Agreement between the Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure, the City of Salmon Arm and the Adams Lake Indian Band. City administra-tor Carl Bannister de-scribes the agreement in a memo to council as setting out “the po-sitions and intentions of the three parties with respect to traf-fic signalization issues on the Trans-Canada Highway, which has been the subject of much discussion over the past decade.”
Specifically, the agreement pertains to two proposed highway intersections. One will be set up in front of an Adams Lake Indian Band property referred to as Lot 7-6 (the lot on the highway to the right of Braby Motors and behind the Mall at Piccadilly). This inter-section includes a traf-fic light, future road ac-cess through the centre of the lot that would lead to 10th Avenue SW.
The second inter-section is the one pro-posed for 20th Street SW – one the city has been working to create for the past 20 years.
“This is the pref-erable location for a signalized intersection from a community planning and trans-portation network per-spective (although the city does not oppose a second intersection at Lot 7-6),” writes Ban-nister, adding it is the city’s hope that this will be cost-shared with the ministry.
Bannister notes that SmartCentres’ planned “protected T” inter-section at the existing Canadian Tire inter-section would not be affected by the agree-ment, and that it is likely the intersection at Lot 7-6 would be constructed before the one at 20th.
Coun. Alan Harrison called the agreement an important step for-ward. He said it was positive for the part-nership it represents,
for the guarantees it provides that there will eventually be a traffic light at the intersection at 20th, thus improving traffic safety and help-ing to facilitate band plans for a shopping
centre on Lot 7.“It’s a perfect com-
mercial piece of prop-erty within our city boundaries and I think that can only be good for employment, for people being able to get things that they need in
town, so I see that as a real positive, plus help-ful to the Adams Lake people as well…,” said Harrison.
While supportive of the agreement, Coun. Debbie Cannon ques-
tioned the logic behind proceeding with the protected T, and not just doing the intersec-tion at 20th instead.
“I wonder if there’s any way, somehow, we can work with Smart-Centres and (the min-
istry) to possibly make that happen sooner than later,” said Can-non.
Bannister reiter-ated how staff has been working to make the intersection at 20th happen, and that the city already has $140,000 set aside in reserve to contribute to the project.
“At this time, they’ve approved the intersec-tion design for Smart-Centres, the protected T…,” said Bannister.
“To build the 20th Street intersection fur-ther east… it would take a lot more work and it’s a lot more complicated. There’s private property that’s still involved and it’s not likely to happen here immediately, so I suspect the ministry is going to carry on with the plans that they’ve approved.”
I wonder if there’s any way, somehow, we can work with SmartCentres and (the ministry) to possibly make that happen sooner than later.

Editorial
There’s been much discussion about the dis-continuation of the venerable copper coin, as it now makes its way into retirement and will eventually only be seen in coin collections.
There will be some things to miss. The old adage, ‘Find a penny, pick it up, all day long you’ll have good luck’ just doesn’t have the same ring with a nickel.
And we always appreciated the inherent friendliness of the ‘take a penny, leave a penny’ coin dish at cash registers, where customers didn’t have to be worried about being a penny short.
Most of us will not mourn the decision to axe the penny for long. Its time has passed, espe-
cially considering the cost to produce the coins. Most of us have jars secreted somewhere in our homes filled with the copper coins.
But let us give you our two cents on what you should do with all your weighty coppers.
Find a cause dear to your heart and give them your cents. There’s a number of charities actively seeking pennies, including the Tim Horton Children’s Foundation, which helps send kids to camp and Canadian Tire Jump-start, which makes sports available to disad-vantaged kids. Many school children are also seeking pennies for various charity projects.
The penny might be on the outs, but they can add up to big dollars to do good works.
Find a penny, find a cause to support
The pump stops hereIt’s high time local governments unite in a push for equality
– at the pump.If anything can prompt a lack of consumer loyalty it’s gas
prices. In the Shuswap, folks are known to hold off on filling up locally when they know fuel can be purchased for less in a neighbouring community.
Case in point: The weekend before last, when gas was 117.9 per litre in Salmon Arm, it could be purchased for 111.9 in Enderby. You can bet folks who were out for bit of shopping in Vernon made sure to fuel up along the way.
While these savings may be good for the consumer, it’s bad for business. Money that could be spent in town, supporting lo-cal businesses, is going elsewhere.
It may seem we are powerless to do anything about this. But at the local government level there is, perhaps, opportunity.
For a long time, District of Sicamous residents put up with higher gas prices than those in Salmon Arm. Since January 2012, however, Sicamous has seen parity at the pump with its Shuswap neighbour.
The change wasn’t spurred by letters to the editor, to your MP or MLA. It was the result of action by municipal politicians.
In the last municipal election, Coun. Greg Kyllo joined forces with the Sicamous chamber to determine why Sicamous was paying what it was for gas, while making the point that this was doing the community harm. The effort was documented in a video posted to YouTube.
“Fuel prices are around 10 cents a litre higher here than they are in all the other surrounding communities…,” says Kyllo in the video, uploaded Jan. 5, 2012. “It’s definitely causing a lot of concern for local businesses, it sends the wrong messages to tourists and our vacation traffic that are coming through the area…”
Later that month, the issue was brought before the newly-elected council. Council decided to contact those companies who dictate pricing to local service stations, and seek an expla-nation for the difference between communities. The story went in the Observer’s sister paper, the Eagle Valley News and, the following week, gas prices in Sicamous were on par with those in Salmon Arm.
While the sudden price drop may have seemed the result of some arbitrary decision making, “local retail forces” are listed by at least one gas company as an influential factor behind the often fluctuating prices at the pump.
Now, if Sicamous’ council can plug this source of economic outflow, might it not be worth the effort for Salmon Arm’s? Maybe the two governments could work together and seek par-ity with Enderby? Or better yet, bring Enderby onboard and push for parity with Kamloops.

View PointThe Observer asked:What do you think about the discontinuation of the penny?
Chelsea Tait“Even after rounding everything off,
at the end of the day businesses will still have to balance their totals.”
Colleen Smith“You know the old expression – find a penny. How are we going to find our good luck?”
Dave Curry“Each penny cost 1.6 cents to produce, so how did that affect the market.”
Ellen DaviesIt’s the end of an era ... and remember, it was the penny that brought us good luck.”
Kendall Turner“It kind of makes sense because the penny is sort of useless.”
I read the article “Bus troubles plague holiday travellers” in the Jan. 16 edition of your paper.
Although I do not travel often with Greyhound, I do use them for shipping quite often. Upon reading the ar-ticle I was very surprised to hear just how disorganized and careless the company appeared to have been over such a crucial and busy time of the year.
I would like to say that I was at the Salmon Arm Greyhound depot on Dec.
18 and saw a sign posted on the door saying they would be closed on Tuesday and Wednesday Dec. 25 and 26. This means Greyhound knew ahead of time they would be closed. I under-stand that if a ticket was pre- purchased online, people would not see this, Howev-er, if it was pre-purchased in the depot, they should have been told this. When Grey-hound cancelled the Kelow-na to Salmon Arm trip for road conditions, they should have considered people
with tickets and made sure that franchise owners would have the doors open so these people would have had a warm place to wait and be updated on the cancella-tions. Is Greyhound so big that they just don’t care?
I feel bad that these peo-ple had to go through such torment to be with their loved ones.
This was a great article and hope you do a follow- up with Greyhound.

With the attention of anti- smoking week slowly fad-ing, one has to give credit to the B.C. government for providing smokers with nic-otine replacement products at pharmacies or by mail.
The Union of BC Munic-ipalities passed a resolution last year calling for a prov-ince-wide ban on smoking outdoors. If this includes private properties, then most people will not face the dangers of being ex-
posed to secondhand smoke from tobacco products.
Now this raises the ques-tion, what will government do to protect citizens from equally dangerous smoke – wood smoke – which is referred to as the new sec-ondhand smoke?
Wood smoke contains similar chemical composi-tions as tobacco smoke and has similar health effects. It is linked to heart and re-spiratory diseases and lung
cancer. It also should be banned provincewide.
However, eliminating these toxic wood smoke emissions in neighbour-hoods falls under the juris-diction of municipalities. Please email your munici-pality and request that wood smoke emissions in neigh-bourhoods be outlawed in order to reduce human suf-fering.

VICTORIA – The cannon will roar across the Inner Harbour on the morning of Feb. 12 to mark the opening of the 2013 legislature session.
Lt.-Gov. Judith Guichon will inspect the troops and present her inaugural throne speech, setting out the B.C. Liberal govern-ment’s goals for the coming year.
This ritual will kick off a legislative ses-sion that is expected to run until March 14, where the official parliamentary calendar shows a three-week break for Easter. De-bate is unlikely to resume in April, as the election campaign will be in full roar by then.
This means there will be a grand total of 19 sitting days to push through a budget and a raft of legislation. Here’s my unofficial preview.
The pre-election budget will be presented Feb. 19 by Finance Minister Michael de Jong. Premier Christy Clark has decreed that it must be balanced, and the govern-ment has made extra efforts to armour itself against what will likely be the loudest de-bate ahead.
First, de Jong held a pre-budget meet-ing of the government’s blue-chip forecast council in public. This provided a visual record of what happens every year, when the finance ministry solicits the same sort of independent advice as most competent democracies, and bases its numbers on that.
Then the finance ministry hired former Bank of Montreal chief economist Tim O’Neill, who will act as an unofficial ver-sion of the parliamentary budget officer in Ottawa. Now that we have simultaneous oversight of child welfare and the police, the next step is to extend it to finance bu-reaucrats.
Regardless of party, the government has to produce a three-year set of forecasts to replace the current one. A lot of election
energy will go into competing claims about who is better at predicting the future.
Another new law to be given high prior-ity is one setting up senate elections, to be run in connection with the May 14 provin-cial vote. Alberta pioneered this, and Prime Minister Stephen Harper’s recent round of senate appointments included Calgary law-yer Doug Black, who won an Alberta senate election held last year.
There was no one appointed to replace Gerry St. Germain, who bid an emotional adieu as a Conservative senator for B.C. last year. St. Germain was instrumental in unit-ing the splintered federal Conservatives, but he reached the mandatory retirement age of 75, having been appointed by Brian Mul-roney in 1993 after losing his seat as an MP.
Why would this senate reform be so ur-gent for the B.C. Liberals now? Well, turn-out for the 2009 election fell to around 50 per cent, a record low for a provincial vote. If that downward trend is reversed this year, it will be in large part because people are still mad enough about the harmonized sales tax and a range of other issues to get off the couch and kick some B.C. Liberal butt.
Electing senators remains a popular no-tion, especially with older, conservative-minded voters in B.C. who identified with the Reform Party. The first-ever senate election looks like the best available shot at boosting turnout among people who are not likely to vote NDP, and who may also be disengaged from provincial politics.
And then there is the provincial sales tax bill. Another kick in the slats for the mov-ie business, for one, and don’t hold your breath for NDP leader Adrian Dix to pro-duce a solution in the wake of his recent trip to Tinsel Town.
The performance of the governing party and the opposition will be scrutinized as never before.

The NDP has stated its intention to not use attack ads.

Kudos to the ambulance paramedics that quickly responded to my medi-cal emergency on Jan. 26, at Willow Cove, and Dr. Scott McKee and the staff at Shuswap Lake General
Hospital. Without them, I would not be writing this notice.
After spending a few days in ICU, I required very minimum care, but ob-served compassionate care
with very difficult patients.I’m very thankful to
be living in a community where good medical ser-vices are available.

Life & TimesFrom the
Archives
1923 Dr. David Warnock, deputy minister of agriculture, said women’s institutes had more clever financiers and more able parliamentarians in their midst than farmer’s institutes. “Their business methods are better and their procedures in carrying on meetings are up to a higher mark,” Warnock said.
1933 The instructive part of the program at a women’s institute meeting was a demonstration of wool spinning by Mrs. Matt Laitinen, using a wheel that was more than 100 years old. Hostesses for the social half-hour were Mrs. W. A Bellamy, Mrs. A. Bell and Mrs. L.A. Daggett.
1943 A committee made up of C.R.Barlow, D.G. Barton, R.V. Haney, F. Greenwwod, E. Urbshadt, E. Twentyman and J. Honey, was formed to investigate the codling moth infestation which had attacked 48 orchards.Leslie Sprague, Pat Shirley and Roy Partridge went to Vernon to join up for duty. They were passed A1.
1953 Salmon Arm District School board took action in the controversy stirred up by the accusation of J.A. Reid, Salmon Arm MLA, on the floor of the legislature that textbooks being used in B.C. schools are being used to corrupt the morals of the student. The board sent a telegram to Social Credit member Reid requesting that he submit proof in sup-port of his charges or tender an apology to the teachers of this district. Mr. Reid charged that B.C. teachers were under socialist domina-tion in their association and that children’s minds were being poisoned by the immorality straight from the sex text books.
1963 An application to build a bowling alley on the south side of the Trans-Canada Highway was approved by the Salmon Arm Municipal Council.
A lifelong passion for the artsThe arts enrich the culture
of a people and make us civi-lized.
That’s a belief Cilla Budda holds close to her heart and one for which she has worked tirelessly since her arrival in Salmon Arm more than 40 years ago.
While she has received awards for her work, it is her passion for the arts that keeps her motivated.
Made an honorary life mem-ber of Shuswap Theatre this year, Budda has a long his-tory of volunteer involvement with the Shuswap and District Arts Council and the Marie Manson Memorial Arts Award Committee, Caravan Farm Theatre, the symphony…
“It’s the love of my life, I never grew out of playing dress-up and playhouse,” she says. “And theatre is play-house for adults who never grew up.”
Budda also celebrates her passion with wearable art – multiple brooches, bracelets and rings.
“They call me a crow ’cause I like bright, sparkly things,” she laughs.
When asked why the love of the arts burns so brightly in her soul, Budda looks to her roots.
Her paternal grandparents were violinists in Russia and her grandfather and uncles on her mother’s side had a small orchestra on the Prairies.
“Music comes through from both sides,” she says. “I didn’t have any lessons, but I always loved music and sang in choirs.”
Budda attended what is now the Emily Carr University of Art and Design in Vancouver but had to drop out when her father died.
Moving to Salmon Arm in 1970, Budda missed the cul-tural amenities of the big city and says it was the need to fur-ther enrich the arts experience that lured her into her 40-plus-year involvement in the arts.
It began in 1977 by helping former Salmon Arm arts pa-tron Robin Suddaby host the Okanagan Symphony.
The same year she got in-volved with the Shuswap Dis-trict Arts Council, diving into the deep end by becoming chair of the group the follow-ing year.
“We brought the Pacific Ballet Theatre to Salmon Arm three times and we also hosted Liona Boyd, Maureen Forrester and Ann Mortifee,” says Budda, who maintains the gym at the old J.L. Jackson School was a great venue that would have been very useful today.
“They had a stage, dress-ing room (change rooms) and we could use the basement for
food and receptions. But they tore the thing down.”
In 1979, Budda accom-panied her husband Peter to Shuswap Theatre to do his makeup for a play in which he was appearing.
She laughingly says she never left.
From there, she launched into a rich and varied volun-teer association with the the-atre – costume design, set de-sign and producer of about 10 productions.
Her efforts won her Okana-gan Zone Festival Best Cos-tume awards for two period productions – Arms and the Man and Heartbreak House.
Budda also picked up the zone’s Ozzie Award “For out-standing contribution to the zone and community theatre in British Columbia.”
Budda was president of Shuswap Theatre for two terms and has sat at the board table multiple times.
Currently building manager/
rentals and costume mistress, she has also been Okanagan Zone chair twice, has hosted two theatre festivals in Salmon Arm and volunteered for three others.
Budda has been a patron of Caravan Farm Theatre on and off for 30-plus years, began volunteering there about six years ago and has been on the board for four.
“It’s a magical place, I just love it; creating theatre from nothing – just a few old build-ings and a lot of creative ideas, and the imagination of talent-ed people,” she says, laughing that the “magic” also includes cleaning the bathrooms, work-ing in the concession and mak-ing chilli on occasion.
The Roots and Blues Fes-tival has also benefited from Budda’s spirit of volunteerism. She worked in the ticket booth and acted as artist liaison for the Pointer Sisters, among others.
Budda’s latest project is hosting Kamloops Symphony.
“They come three times a year and we feed all the mu-sicians and volunteers,” she says. “We provide potluck dinners for upwards of 50 people.”
To help raise money for the symphony, Budda and her band of volunteers will pres-ent Death by Chocolate, at the Comfort Inn on Valentine’s Day – a veritable feast of chocolate, with entertainment provided by Andrea Roberts and Stephanie Nakagawa, ac-companied by Jim Johnston.
“When I moved to Salmon Arm there was very little cul-ture and now we’re the envy of the valley and the cities,” Budda says with a smile.
“People come up from Van-couver and are flabbergasted about what we offer.”

SAFE WINTER DRIVING TIPS
Business
Expanding a clean industry
Sometimes all it takes to banish the winter blues is a bit of pamper-ing.
And Sandra Marr has the products available in her Jayne Girl line to make that possible.
Seven years of expe-rience and experimen-tation have resulted in a wide line of natural products and Marr’s upcoming large-scale trade show debut.
“I started making soap when I was still making dog cookies and coats,” says Marr, noting she decided to add a pet shampoo to her line and fell in love with the soap-making. “My very first batch of soap smelled awful, I couldn’t even use it.”
That was then.Over the years Marr,
who does a lot of re-search and experiment-ing, says she has prob-ably made more than 50 kinds of soap, some more successful than others.
“Dreams in Laven-der is a best seller and Love Spice, with a lot of patchouli, is another favourite,” she says. “Wake Me Up So I Can Go Go has peppermint, rosemary and tea tree oil – and poppy seeds for a good scrub.”
At the moment, Marr has a product line that includes cream, lip balm, bath salts, body scrub and bath bombs, including one for scent-sensitive customers.
“It’s called Whole-
some and is made with oats and honey,” says Marr, noting it has a hint of a natural scent, natural being the hall-mark of her products. “The soaps are made in the old-fashioned, cold-press method, the way Grandma made soap.”
Marr uses olive, co-conut and palm oils in her soap-making pro-cess, adds essential oils for fragrance and herbs, spices, dried flowers and clays for colouring. There are no synthetic colours.
“They are kind to your skin,” she says, pointing out her six va-rieties of lotions are also made from scratch and derive their fragrance from essential oils.
“They are the only products that are not 100 per cent natural be-
cause they contain one per cent preservative,” she says. “But they are totally parabens and formaldehyde-free.”
The Jayne Girl line also includes bath salts, a body scrub made with sea salt in a base of co-conut, olive and sun-flower oil.
Jayne Girl products are available at The Lake Effect on Hudson Avenue and Shuswap Health Foods in the Mall at Piccadilly.
And while she also enjoys marketing her products at the farm-ers’ market, Marr says to turn her passion into a full-time career, she has to take it to a wider audience.
And she is doing just that by taking part in a large trade show in Ed-monton this month.
“It’s a big deal, I’m playing with the big dogs now,” she says. “It’s very exciting be-cause it’s a wholesale trade show and 15,000 retailers visit every year.”
Big batch: Jayne Girl Bath Products owner Sandra Marr pre-pares to make a batch of scented soap which will be among the products she will be promoting at a trade show this month.

Loft program offers friendship, fun
Up on the top floor of the SASCU Downtown Activity Centre is a spe-cial club.
Called the Loft, this club provides a sup-portive atmosphere for children with Down Syndrome or autism.
It gives the kids, who are referred by the Min-istry of Children and Family Development, an opportunity to learn social skills and make friends.
The club meets after school, with the kids being dropped off by bus after school and heading upstairs to share their day play and socialize.
“They do crafts and activities and we’re weaving in how to in-teract socially and how to behave appropriate-ly,” says June Stewart, executive director of the Shuswap Children’s Association.
The club runs four extended days during the summer so kids from outlying areas can attend.
Operated by the Shuswap Children’s Association, the Loft also gives participants an opportunity to be included in the com-munity.
They go out on field trips, shopping, visit-ing places like DeMi-lle’s. They were part of Unplug and Play at the library and they go swimming,” says Stew-art, who was glad to ac-cept a $1,000 donation to the program from Telus.
“It’s supporting all the fun things the Loft
allows the children to do and we’re grateful for their support,” Stew-art says. “Funding is always tight; we had to cut funding back from four to two days and now are able to do three because of support like this.”
It was Loft kids who carved pumpkins for the garden bed in front of the association’s Shuswap Street office and bird feeders now hanging from the “win-ter” tree, placed there when its life as a Christ-mas tree ended.
“Keep watching the front garden,” Stewart laughs. “We’re having so much fun and it’s gotten us a lot of atten-tion.”
The Loft is one of about a dozen programs offered by the children’s association. Others pro-grams include infant development, support-ed child development, occupational and physi-cal therapy, a program that addresses FASD (fetal alcohol spectral disorder), childcare re-source and referral ser-vices, a respite program and family play groups.
Thanks to a company called First Book Cana-da that provides the as-sociation with books for the price of shipping, the association has given away about 4,100 “beautiful” books.
An accredited agency and registered charity, the children’s associa-tion has about 50 part-time employees and finding adequate fund-ing can be a challenge.
“We’ve been squeez-ing every penny even harder, which I think is the main part of my job,”
says Stewart, noting she has no background in social services but her 20-year-plus business experience is indeed an asset. “It’s something of a growing trend in non-profits. You need a busi-ness manager because if there’s no money, there’s no mission.”
Stewart took over from longtime former executive director Lynn Wickett and says she is truly loving the job.
“The days fly past and I have a plateful; it’s not for the glorious pay or the glamorous premises, it’s work-ing with staff that are
like family,” she says. “They care about the families, they’re doing it for the love of it and it’s magical to be part of that.”
Shuswap Children’s Association: Grant helps keep doors open.
Support: Co-ordinator Tracey Morland (top left) and June Stew-art, executive director (lower right), along with participanting kids, were excited to receive a $1,000 cheque from Kirk Panser (lower left) of Telus for The Loft, an after school program offered by Shuswap Children’s Association.

Honks of support: Shuswap Association for Community Liv-ing workers stand outside their Shuswap Street office Thursday in protest of poor wages and cutbacks by the B.C. government to community social services and related programming.
Without a contract for almost two years, B.C.’s community sup-port workers are airing their frustration in job action.
One-day rotat-ing strikes took place across the province last week, with local work-ers joining the picket line on Thursday.
Sherry Errett, presi-dent of CUPE Lo-cal 3999, has worked with the Shuswap As-sociation of Commu-
nity Living for 16-plus years.
Errett says commu-nity support workers help some of the com-munity’s most vulner-able people.
“More and more we find the government is ignoring people who do the work for others in the community,” she says. “Christy Clark’s platform for re-elec-tion is Families First, but she is ignoring the people and families who help those vulner-able families.”
Errett says the 20
part-time and full-time SACL workers are frustrated and feeling ignored and underval-ued.
She says local pick-eters felt public sup-port on the picket line last Thursday.
“The next move is hopefully to get back to the bargaining table and put an end to this. We’re tired of being under a job action and just want the contract settled fairly,” she says, noting if things don’t start moving, there will be more job action.

Council takes ‘no flag, no foul’ stance at Marine ParkCity council would
rather not be the keep-ers of a courtesy pole.
At Monday’s meet-ing of the city’s development and planning services com-mittee, council dis-cussed whether a ‘cour-tesy flag pole’ would be erected at Marine Park to allow various community groups or causes to fly their flags when requested.
Carl Bannister, the city’s chief administra-tive officer, brought up the item at the request of Mayor Nancy Coo-per, who was absent.
He said staff, based on council’s previous discussions and budget planning, are looking at installing three poles at Marine Park in the spring which would display the city, provin-cial and federal flags – just as the poles at city hall do.
However, he said, there have been mixed messages from coun-cil regarding courtesy flags, and staff won’t be proceeding without direction from them.
“Staff is hesitant to pursue such a policy (regarding a courtesy pole); I’ve seen how these things unfold in other communities,” Bannister said, predict-ing that a courtesy pole would soon become a source of controversy.
Coun. Alan Harrison noted it was his idea to replace the flags at Marine Park, but only with new ones. He said he is not in support of a courtesy pole, not-ing that if people feel strongly about some-thing and wish to fly a flag, they can do so in front of their homes or from their car.
“But I don’t think it’s the city’s job.”
All councillors agreed the city should proceed with what’s been the standard at Marine Park, one pole with a city flag, one with a provincial flag and one with a federal flag – and no courtesy pole or courtesy flags.
Coun. Marg Kentel said she thinks council should have a policy on courtesy flags.
“How do we avert people from wanting to have the city flag re-placed with their own? I’m thinking we need some kind of policy. I certainly don’t want to get into debates as to
whose flag should fly.”Coun. Ken Jamieson
suggested that, if need be, a policy could be discussed at a later date.
Although there’s not normally a discussion period at the end of the
planning meeting, act-ing mayor Debbie Can-non allowed a resident to ask a question.
Win Gittins used the opportunity to tout the Shuswap Welsh Soci-ety and requested that
it be permitted to fly the Welsh flag on one day per year.
Although he’s lived in Canada for more than 50 years, he said the world is divided into those who are
Welsh and those who would like to be Welsh.
“I would expect a council in the 21st cen-tury to bring a bit of co-lour into the communi-ty… We’re a fledgling group trying to attract
people who are forgot-ten. We don’t intend to be a stone in council’s shoe.”
He said other cities, such as Vernon, Kelow-na and Kamloops, have a flag policy.

Dr. Atkins’ revolu-tion has a new friend: Wheat Belly. Cardiolo-gist William Davis has discovered the simple solution to obesity and chronic disease: elimi-nate wheat!
Why should we stop eating wheat?
“Wheat has been ge-netically altered making it a different substance than it used to be.”
Wheat, like all crops in our food supply, has undergone years of plant breeding to create higher-yielding strains that require less inputs (such as fertilizers). However, to say these changes are making us fat is Davis’s own speculation. If you want to avoid foods that have been changed in the past 100 years, you will have to cut out virtually every food that we eat.
“Wheat stimulates opiate receptors in the brain (like morphine or heroin), stimulating your appetite and mak-ing it addictive.”
There is no scientific evidence supporting this idea. What some studies have suggested is that when we eat a meal high in carbohydrates, endorphins are released, making you feel good. However, anyone who has eaten whole wheat berries can tell you that wheat itself is not addic-tive. It is only when we add lots of fat, sugar and salt, that we want to eat more.
“Whole wheat bread increases your blood sugar more than table sugar or candy bars.”
What Davis is re-ferring to is that some breads have a glycemic index (GI) similar to table sugar. What he fails to explain is that GI compares equal loads of available carbohydrate. If you wanted to get 50 g of glucose from table sugar, you would only need to eat about three tablespoons. For the same amount from whole grain bread, you may have to eat three to five slices. Further-more, GI is affected by
other components of your meal. So if you
are adding fat or protein (such as peanut butter or cheese) to your bread, these will decrease its glycemic response.
For many people, eliminating wheat can be a tool for weight
loss. This is not be-cause wheat itself is bad, but because many wheat-containing foods are high in calories. By eliminating wheat, you eliminate cookies, cakes, doughnuts, the
bun off your burger. This translates into a re-duction in total calories that can lead to weight loss.
Overall, I found the book, Wheat Belly to be a misleading oversim-
plification of both the cause of and solution to obesity and chronic disease.
If wheat is really what makes us fat, why does it only make some people fat?
That being said, wheat is not necessary for the nutritional health of a person. Therefore, if you have celiac dis-ease or feel better not eating wheat, then by all means, give it up.

Contest promotes health
Aspiring photogra-phers or videographers take note.
Snapping pictures or taking video could be the ticket to healthier schools in the Shus-wap.
School District #83 is hosting a contest asking students for their ideas on healthy living.
Open to all middle and high school stu-dents, the Health is Wealth contest asks for students to produce video or photo presen-tations showing what health means to them and what is healthy about their school and what is not.
Students are encour-aged to be creative and topics could range from healthy eating, physical activity, inclu-sion, diversity — any-
thing that contributes to a healthy school en-vironment.
School winners re-ceive $500 to put to-wards a health project for their school, and will have a chance to compete for the dis-trict-wide prize of an additional $400.
All entries must be submitted by March 8 and include the school,
names of participants and their contact infor-mation in the credits.
Projects can be up-loaded to moodle2.sd83.bc.ca.
The school winners will also attend a stu-dent health forum on April 17, where stu-dents from each school will work together to create a student health project that will assist
their school in becom-ing a healthier place to be.
More information on the contest is avail-able on the school district website lo-cated at www.sd83.bc.ca, on Facebook at healthiswealthcontest or by emailing Laura Paiement, the healthy schools co-ordinator, at [email protected].

Valentine’s Day is the perfect occa-sion to give, receive, and express
our love. Even though gift giving isn’t really necessary, it always gives us pleasure to think that our loved one has thought about us.
Of course, the way we express our feelings to our loved ones is crucial. There’s nothing wrong with ready-made Valen tine’s gifts, but remember that showing your love can also be a simple gesture. It isn’t a cliché to express your heartfelt feelings; that’s why Valentine’s Day is such a great opportunity to write a love letter straight from your heart. Here are some of the advantages:
• Everyone can afford to write alove letter
• A love letter prepared with in� nite care could even replace a gift
• If you still want to add a little extra, your words of love will be the per-fect accompaniment for your gift
Because they are yours alone, your loving words will go straight to the heart of your loved one. Think about it: it’s pretty rare to set down our feelings on paper. You’ll see that going back to the simple things in life is often the best way. Make Valen tine’s Day an annual rendezvous with the eternal words of love!
Perhaps you’re no Shakespeare, but if you take a few moments to re� ect, the one who will receive your love letter is sure to inspire a few tender
words. Write them down and then look for some quotations abut love on the Web or look up some “love” words in your old dictionary. Remember that loving words don’t have to be a poem, so rhymes are not necessary.
If you’d like to give even more value to your missive, be sure to write it by hand. Surrounded as we are by e-tech-nology, using pen and paper will give your letter its very own unique cachet. So, lovers of the world: are your pens poised?
Eternal words of love
Cupid’s Choice 2013
Valentine’s Day is a cel-ebration of love but what if you haven’t had anyone in your life for years? You might be very happy to be single, but as February 14 approaches you feel a little lump in your throat. You don’t want to admit it, but you kind of wish you could participate in this celebra-tion of love, just like every-one else. To avoid feeling down on Valentine’s Day, you will have to be clever and well prepared.
One strategy is to avoid all those places that will be crowded with couples on the fourteenth. Stock up in advance for everything you need for your meals that day. You might want to stay away from grocery stores on Valentine’s Day, or you’ll likely be confronted with all kinds of lovey couples
shopping for their very own romantic dinners. Don’t go to a restaurant either, as that is where couples � ock to celebrate their love. Instead, go to a bar or a pub or a place that
is advertising a singles eve-ning. Your other option is to stay at home, cook yourself
a good meal, or order in.If possible, surround
yourself with single friends and spend an evening out together. Or stay at home with a rented action movie or TV series on a DVD that you can watch from begin-ning to end. Just choose carefully what you watch: don’t bother with movies like Dirty Dancing or Ghost or any other romantic mov-ies. That would be sheer tor-ture!
Go ahead and cook one of your favourite recipes that will keep you busy most of the evening, since there’s nothing like a little soul food for comfort.

SportsThird period’s a charm for SilverBacks
In a weekend that brought a rematch with a riled up Chilliwack Chiefs squad and a showdown with the rival Vernon Vi-pers, the Salmon Arm Sil-verBacks came up aces as they strengthened their grip on a post-season berth.
The Gorillas downed the Chiefs 3-1 on Friday, just six days after knock-ing them off in Chilliwack, and followed up with a tidy win over the Snakes by the same score.
Salmon Arm coach Scott Robinson had his charges ready for an all-out battle against Chilliwack and they responded by matching the visitors’ physicality early and getting the upper hand, with a pair of late goals by Josh Bowes and Bryden Marsh into an empty net.
“We were very prepared for a bounce-back game from them” said Robinson of the Chiefs. “We knew we’d see a more motivat-ed, angry team; it was a very physical, low-scoring game.”
One that didn’t see its first goal until there were less than four minutes re-maining in the second when Marsh potted his first of the night on a gorgeous shot to the top corner. Chilliwack tied it in the third but Salm-on Arm wound up with a 20-8 shot advantage in the final frame.
“The third period’s been good for us lately,” said Robinson. “We’ve just fo-cused on our conditioning off the ice and our guys have been really good in that regard.”
Once again, the Silver-Backs showed they’re equal to the challenge of a grind-ing, playoff-style game where the opposition leaves little room to make plays. Overcoming that left them
with little energy, at least at the start, of their game in Vernon Saturday.
Mason Blacklock scored for the Vipers just 33 sec-onds into the game but Shane Hanna had the re-
sponse, his first of two, just past the midway point of the first. His second tally proved to be the winner and Harlan Orr chipped in the final tally early in the third.
“You could see our guys were less than 100 per cent charged up… the night be-fore was so emotionally draining,” said Robinson. “I think on all three goals, (Vipers netminder Danny) Todosychuk was screened. Our net-front presence was making it difficult on the goaltender.”
Brayden Sherbinin also added two helpers from the blueline and earned the FortisBC Energy Player of the Game honour. The Sil-verBacks defence corps, led by Hanna, continues to pull its weight.
“On top of the consisten-cy chart is probably him,” said Robinson of Hanna, the hometown product and the team’s leading scorer. “The great thing about Shane is even on nights when he doesn’t contribute on the scoreboard, he’s go-ing to be our number-one on defence every night.”
Goalie Adam Clark will be given the vast majority of starts down the stretch and has three wins since Robinson told him he’d be the main man. He got the call yesterday in a crucial game in Trail (past Observ-er deadline) as the ’Backs tried to go eight points up on the Smoke Eaters.
Salmon Arm hosts West Kelowna Friday and Vic-toria Saturday. Both games are 7 p.m. starts.
Fallout: SilverBacks players Steven Iacobellis and Brayden Sherbinin take control of the puck and the game during the SilverBacks 3-1 win over the Chilliwack Chiefs Friday night at the Shaw Centre.

Bad callThe on-ice antics of a former SilverBacks net-minder are gaining notoriety on the Internet. Chris Clark, assistant coach with the NAHL’s Wenatchee Wild, was tossed from a game after some questionable calls prompted him to put on dark glasses and a white stick, and circle around the referee while pretending to be blind. Clark was a goalie for the Salmon Arm Sil-verBacks during the team’s inaugural 2001-02 season.

The Senior Golds boys basketball team put up a strong show-ing in Vernon over the weekend with two wins against teams out of Langley, and a 61-52 loss to Kalamalka Sec-ondary.
In the latter game, on Friday, Jordan Goert-zen and Ryan Willett combined to grab 21 re-bounds in a tough loss. Coach Rhys Waters said the team fought hard, but their execu-tion was not done well enough to win. Eric Borthistle was game star.
Waters says Satur-day’s 70-37 win versus Langley’s DW Poppy marked one of the Golds’ better games this year. A highlight was when Paul Beevor-Potts, Lee Williams and Dan Schager shut down a star DW Poppy point guard.
Scoring was led by Josh Szoke (21 points, nine rebounds), but ev-ery player registered a hoop. Lee Williams was game star.
Another season high-light for the Golds was their 66-56 win on Sat-urday versus Langley Christian.
While everyone scored, Dan Schager finished up a strong weekend scoring 27 points along with 12 rebounds and six steals, winning the game star.
Overall, Waters is pleased with the Golds’ weekend performance. He says the team is fi-nally at a point where they are playing with confidence, and ex-ecuting responsibilities
offensively and defen-sively well.
“We rely on every single guy to win, and against DW Poppy and Langley Christian, we had every player posi-tively contributing to the win,” says Waters. “We ended up finish-ing fourth out of eight teams.”
Waters says the boys are now looking to car-ry this momentum into league play, looking for their first league win in a very competitive schedule. Justin Puetz is hoping to come back
from a broken wrist. League games continue Thursday in NorKam and Saturday in Pent-icton.
The Senior Jewels take on all these teams as well.
Junior GoldsThe Junior Golds
were down 11-9 af-ter the first quarter in league action at Seaton school in Vernon, but they regrouped and stormed back, winning 63-20.
All 12 players hit the score sheet, led by Jar-
ed Sharp, Jordan Isaac and Aaron Hicks.
Salmon Arm hosted their annual tourna-ment on the weekend, and faced Westsyde in their opening game.
The Golds took con-trol early and cruised to a 46-22 victory.
Lenny DePatie net-ted 17 points and Brayden Koprowsky added seven.
DePatie continued to score well, hitting for 16, as the Golds de-feated Armstrong 45-20 in game two of the tourney.
Jordan Hislop and Sharp contributed sev-en points each.
Okanagan Mis-sion proved to be too much for Salmon Arm in the final, getting by the Golds 40-26. Perry Qiodravo was a rebounding machine, and Steven Kooistra played an outstanding game at both ends of the court, and finished with eight points.
Next up for SAS is the Zone Tournament on Feb. 14, 15 and 16, possibly in Salmon Arm.

Kelowna leaves Robbers with 7-5 defeatThe Shuswap Ring
Robbers Novice rin-gette team welcomed Kelowna to the pond on Saturday, but fell to the visitors by a score of 7-5.
Chloe LaTosky opened the scoring for Shuswap just over six minutes into the first, sliding the ring through the legs of the Kelowna netminder.
Delaney Perry got the game back within reach with a pair in the first
period, seeing Shuswap into the first intermis-sion down by two.
The Robbers clawed back within one as Latosky potted her second in the second. Unfortunately for the home fans, that was as close as they would come.
Natasha Kociuba’s marker with two min-utes left in the game came after a pair by Kelowna that sealed their victory.
Shuswap travels to Kelowna for their an-nual SweetHeart tour-nament this weekend.
a touch of FuryThe Shuswap Fury
Petite ringette team defeated the Kelowna Untouchables by a score of 7-6 on Satur-day, Jan. 16 in Kelow-na.
The Fury led after the first period by a score of 4-3 with two goals by Tori Keehn
and singles to Stepha-nie Martin and Brook-lyn Agricola.
Jordyn Turner fin-ished off the Fury’s scoring by adding three straight goals in the second period. Stephanie Martin add-ed two assists while Tori Keehn, Bethany Riley, Brooklyn Agric-ola, and Raya Zwicker added singles.
The Fury hosted Kelowna Black this past Sunday, Feb. 3,
edging their opponents by a score of 4-3.
Tori Keehn scored two goals with Stepha-nie Martin and Brook-lyn Agricola picking up singles, with an assist going to Heidi-Leigh Boileau.
Goaltender Tamara Brown played in net both games and made some tremendous saves to allow the Fury to continue their winning streak – 15 wins and two losses this season.

Bantams stay alive in playoffsAfter a less than suc-
cessful regular season that saw the team finish 0-15, the USNR Silver-tips Bantam Tier 3 Rep team defeated the West-side Warriors to move on to the second round of playoff action.
The ’Tips entered Royal Lepage Place Sunday afternoon with the best-of-three series tied at one game apiece.
The game was a nail-biter all the way with the teams exchanging goals back and forth for the first half.
Jacob Oberst, Trajan Boyd and Evan Hughes had each scored to give the Tips the 3-2 lead but the Warriors would tie it up again on the final play before the break.
The ’Tips answered back on the first shift out when Oberst made the pass of the year to Hughes, who made no mistake, going five hole to score what would prove to be the winning goal.
Dallas Stewart added an insurance marker shortly thereafter and the team managed to hold off their opponents for the remainder of the game.
The entire team de-serves kudos for a hard-fought and well- played series.
Sharks take bite out of rivals
The Salmon Arm Askew’s Foods Pee Wee Tiger Sharks played in their home Pee Wee recreation tournament
Jan.18 to 20. The team faced some
stiff competition over the weekend but played their best hockey of the season during the first three games on Friday and Saturday.
The Sharks carried their hard work and un-selfish play into their fourth and final game of the tournament on Sun-day, winning 7-0.
A strong defensive ef-fort by Jackson Mount, Isaac Webster, Mat-thew Campbell, and Ava Wutke combined with some stellar saves by rookie goalie Daw-son Perry, resulted in the first shutout of his career.
The shutout was also a result of great back-checking from forwards Gage Buchanan, Hanna
Mitchell, Nathan Chorl-ton, Kayne Beaudry, Tye Mitchell, Kira Makela, Cole Stock-bruegger and Tayler Starkell.
There were many great passing plays, evi-denced by six different goal scorers and many assists. One of the goals even had all five Shark skaters on the ice touch the puck consecutively before it went between the pipes, a rare happen-ing in hockey.
Atoms top Kelowna
The L. Turner Con-tracting Salmon Arm SilverBacks Atom A Development team faced Kelowna at the pond on Saturday, skat-ing away with a 5-2 win
on home ice.Marino Bordin and
Colby Feist combined for the ’Backs opening goal in the first period.
Bordin finished with a sweet spin-o-rama backhand through the visiting netminder’s legs, after he and Feist cruised into the zone on a two-on-one.
With a delayed pen-alty on the way and the goalie skating to the bench, Feist put the ’Backs up by two after busting through the de-fence and getting in the clear.
Feist’s second came in the second, as the Kelowna defence had no counter for his speed.
After pulling away from the nearest de-fender and going in 1-on-0, he slid the puck
in on the backhand after sucking in the goalie with a forehand fake.
Kelowna was able to sneak two past Silver-Backs netminder Gabri-el Muriels-Allaway, but that would be as close as they could get.
Connor Kociuba’s point shot was blocked but the rebound fell right on Feist’s stick, and he sniped the top corner for the hat-trick.
The ’Backs sealed the deal with an empty-net-ter with under a minute left to play in the game.
The SilverBacks hit the road for a tourna-ment this weekend.
We’ll take that: Salmon Arm Silvertips Eddie O’Dell and Dylan Seaward put a double check on Vernon’s Tyler Yule while Julie Wrench takes off with the puck during the Tips’ 4-3 win in a Bantam House League game played Saturday at the Shaw Centre.

Among 41 skiers from Larch Hills Nor-dics many top finishes were tallied at the final BC Cup cross-country ski race, hosted by the Caledonia Nordic Club in Prince George Feb. 2 and 3.
Saturday’s race was Individual Classic Technique and Sunday was a relay event.
On Saturday, Sophia Van Varseveld placed first in the Pee Wee Girls 1 category, while Julianne Moore took first in the Pee Wee Girls 2.
Eric Moore placed first in the Pee Wee Boys 1 category, and Trond May placed first in the Pee Wee Boys 2 category. Keeya Corbett took first place in the Bantam Girls 2 and Ste-phen Moore placed first in the Bantam Boys 1 category, while Thomas Hardy placed first in the 7.5-kilometre Junior Boys 2 category.
In the Men’s Master
10-km race, Brian May earned a first place fin-ish, while Abbigail May took first place in the 7.5-km Women’s Mas-ter category.
The relay event Sun-day was action packed, with the Larch Hills teams doing well.
For a complete list of race results, visit http://new.zone4.ca.
This race counted towards the overall ag-gregate for the BC Cup Series.
Aggregate Awards were provided to the first three finishers for each year of birth from the Pee Wee category to the Masters 70+ cat-egory.
Winners were deter-mined from the points from the competitor’s three best races.
Julianne Moore took first in the 2004 Pee Wee Girls category, Sophia Van Varseveld was first in the Pee Wee Girls 2003 category, and Trond May took first in
the Pee Wee Boys 2003 category.
Keeya Corbett claimed first in the Ban-tam 2002 Girls catego-ry, and Stephen Moore was first in the Bantam Boys 2002 category.
Andrew Nash placed first in the Juvenile Boys 1998 category,
and John Connor took first in the Junior Boys 1996 category.
Thomas Hardy placed first in the Junior Boys 1995 category.
This weekend also awarded the Club Championship Award, presented to the club that earned the most
points overall in the se-ries.
The Larch Hills Nor-dics were looking to make this year the third in a row for first place, but the host club Cale-donia Nordics earned that right, with Larch Hills grabbing second place.
Fighting a bad cold, Salmon Arm’s Alys-son Marshall almost didn’t race in the 1.6-kilometre sprints in the opening race of the three-day Pursuit at the Eastern Cana-dian Championships at Nakkertoc Ski Area in Quebec.
At the last minute she entered the sprint qualifiers and surprised herself, coming in sec-ond by only 1.5 sec-onds behind first.
Marshall went on to win her quarterfinal, semifinal and easily won the finals – her first gold of the season.
Lacking endurance for the hills on the sec-ond day of competi-tion, Marshall came in 13th in the individual 10-km skate and fin-ished seventh overall on day 2 of the pursuit.
Starting with more than a one-minute handicap in Sun-day’s 15-km classic race, Marshall fin-ished fourth overall in
the three-day pursuit.A combination of
travel, bad jetlag, lung injuries from racing in cold temperatures 100 kilometres north of the Arctic Circle and sickness, prevented Marshall from taking
advantage of multiple World Cup starts in Europe, Quebec and Canmore.
After a rest and break for Christmas, Marshall returned to the NorAm circuit at the beginning of Janu-ary in Thunder Bay, where she came in sec-ond by .16 seconds in the sprints in a photo-finish.
A second sprint race at Highland Nordic in Ontario earned her a bronze medal after she was blocked in the fi-nal sprint to the finish.
Unable to get a win in either of the two sprint events that were qualifiers for World Championships in Italy, Marshall did not make the team this year.
After a two-week break from competi-tion, Alysson returns to NorAms with the Western Canadians in Grande Prairie, Alta. followed by Nationals at Callaghan in March.

ARTS & EVENTSSharing love by making their music
Jason and Pharis Romero form one of the most re-spected music acts on the old-time, country roots stage today. They will be performing in concert at 7:30 p.m. Thursday, Feb. 14 at Carlin Hall.
Consummate musicians, the pair has entertained audiences all over North America with their unique blend of traditional music, sung with contemporary lyrics – songs that tug at the heart one moment and have your toes tapping the next.
The duo met in 2007 at an old-time � ddle jam in Victoria. They soon began performing together in the Haints, an old-style string band with renowned Ap-palachian � ddler Erynn Marshall. The group’s 2009 CD, Shout Monah, earned two Canadian Folk Music Award nominations.
The following year Jason and Pharis began perform-ing together as a duo and in 2011 released their � rst CD, A Passing Glimpse. It won both a CFMA and Indepen-dent Music Award and went to number one on American Folk Radio.
The CD was also named one of the best albums of the year by Folk Alley, an Internet radio station. Last year, the duo received a 2012 Canadian Folk Music Award for Emerging Art-ist of the Year and a 2012 Independent Music Award for Americana Album of the Year.
“While adhering to the
traditional sound, their newest CD, Long Gone Out West Blues, consists mostly of original material. The album was recorded in their home, using mobile gear trucked in by the duo’s Portland-based co-producer, Ivan Rosenberg.
All the music on the CD was played on vintage and/or hand-built instruments including Pharis’ pre-war Martin guitar and Jason’s handmade banjos and reso-phonic guitar.
Pharis says she has been playing music most of her life.
“My dad was a great
singer and songwriter in the classic country and folk tra-ditions. My younger sisters and I used to get up on stage with him and sing along to songs we’d been hearing since we were born,” she says. “This morphed into playing at country music festivals and other events as the Patenaude Family Band – my dad on guitar, us three girls on vocals and various instruments. And yup, my mom did sometimes dress us up in matching out� ts.”
Pharis would go on to study classical piano and voice at the Victoria Conser-vatory of Music. But it was
in the late 1990s, while taking some songwriting classes for credit, that she started playing bluegrass and old- time guitar.
Originally from Colusa, Calif., Jason started play-ing banjo when he was 20. Before then, he says “I was listening to Led Zeppelin and the Cream – but I didn’t play any music. One night I
heard a tradition-al Irish band with a banjo player and was so drawn to the sound of the banjo that I went out and bought one and started taking lessons.
“I was a closet picker for the next 10 years, listening to all sorts of banjo greats like Tony Trischka, Bela Fleck, and Earl Scruggs.”
When he moved to Hum-
boldt County in 1997, Jason started playing banjo with a few bluegrass bands and lis-tening to more of the early bluegrass music, which led him straight to old-time mu-sic.
Jason met Pharis, fell in love, moved to Canada in 2007 to be with her and started playing more and more of the music they both felt deeply about, all the while establishing himself as one of the most respected banjo-makers in the world, with a client list that in-cludes Ricky Skaggs.
The couple currently live in the tiny community of Horse� y, B.C. – population 700.
“We wake up every morn-ing grateful for the way we earn our living,” says Pha-ris. “We spend our days to-gether, at home on a piece of property out in the woods, writing, playing, practising – and doing what we would be doing anyway, whether we were getting paid for it or not. It is remarkable and strange how two of our ma-jor passions in life are so in-tertwined.”
On a typical summer eve-ning, after working all day doing inlay or oiling banjo necks, the couple go for a walk around the property and then return to work on some new song, adds Jason.
What better evening to come out and share Jason and Pharis Romero’s deep and abiding love of tradi-tional, old time music than Feb. 14 – Valentine’s Day?
Tickets for the show are $15 and are available at Acorn Music.

Great food, great music, great vibe! The Shuswap Trail Alliance party was a tremendous success.
“Once again, resi-dents and community leaders throughout the Shuswap put their pen-nies where their heart is and showed their support for continued care and upkeep of our growing greenway trails system,” says a delight-ed Phil McIntyre-Paul, trail alliance co-ordina-tor.
A sell-out crowd packed the Salmon Arm Rec Centre and raised over $20,000 at last Fri-day’s annual Shuswap Trail Alliance Party and Auction, with � nal do-nations still coming in.
“This puts the foun-dation in place to work with partners support-ing another year of trail projects throughout the Shuswap,” says Trail Alliance chair, Win-ston Pain, extending his thanks to everyone. “It’s motivating us on a whole number of levels, from everyone genuine-ly standing behind the effort to develop gre-enway trails throughout the region, to loving the whole evening package with band, local foods, and socializing, and
then there’s simply be-ing ready to crawl out of our snow caves and celebrate in the middle of winter.”
The deep winter event also models what the Shuswap Trail Alli-ance is all about – part-nerships.
“More than 140 busi-nesses and leaders con-tributed to the auction,” said Margaret Moores, who co-chaired the six-person organizing team that included Ja-mie Granville, Cathy Bartsch, Deb Cannon, Steve Fabro, and Win-ston Pain. “The Salmon
Arm � re� ghters com-manded the bar, EZ Rock’s Patrick Ryley jumped in once again to spin his DJ magic, Brian Coffey with BC Sound provided all the audio we could ask for to power Scarecrow (the band), and Mike and Stephanie of Mil-lion Dollars in Pennies stepped up to grace-fully MC us through the night.”
Several local food and beverage business-es provided excellent food.
Members of the local ENACTUS student or-
ganization (“Entrepre-neurs in Action for Us“) helped with the auction, security, and designated driving in vehicles pro-vided by local car deal-erships.
“They were incred-ible,” says Pain of the international organiza-tion of university and college students around the globe who are com-mitted to making a dif-ference in communities.

Chocolate fundraiser to die forValentine’s Day is a time for love, and that in-
cludes chocolate lovers.The Salmon Arm Committee of the Kamloops
Symphony is combining a love of chocolate and classical music in presenting Death by Chocolate Thursday, Feb. 14 at the Comfort Inn.
Organizer Cilla Budda says this is the first ma-jor fundraiser to support the symphony coming to Salmon Arm – a trip that costs the organization $1,000 a busload.
And what can the discerning chocolate lover expect? A veritable feast, says Budda, noting there will be a chocolate fountain served with fruit and bubbling with Belgium’s famous Callebaut chocolate, turtle cheesecake, delectable home-made chocolates, a secret cake, singing telegrams, raffles and much more.
This celebration of music, love and chocolate features the musical talents of sopranos Andrea Roberts and Stephanie Nakagawa, accompanied by the inimitable Jim Johnston.
Roberts, began piano lessons at age 4, and was already performing professionally before starting vocal training when she was 19.
Roberts and her Vancouver teacher soon dis-covered she had a natural ability for classical mu-sic. And, mere months into her training with him, she was registered many festivals, collecting gold
and silver medals. She then enrolled in Capilano College’s bachelor of music program where she majored in classical vocal performance and piano. Next came two years of private voice lessons in the Mozart Conservatory in Slovakia.
She is a member of the Northern Lights Cham-ber Choir and Terry Logan’s Ancora, and sings at weddings and at the Jazz Club of Salmon Arm.
A Salmon Arm Secondary grad Nakagawa pur-sued her doctorate of music in voice at Indiana University, having completed her master’s degree there, and her bachelor of music degree in opera from the University of British Columbia, where she was awarded the UBC Medal.
Nakagawa won the Western Canada District Metropolitan Opera National Council and the B.C. Provincial Festival of the Performing Arts. She has performed with Opera Theatre of Saint Louis, Vancouver Symphony Orchestra, West-coast Symphony Orchestra, Oberlin in Italy, Prince George Symphony, and the North Bohe-mian Philharmonic in the Czech Republic among others.
At this time, Nakagawa is performing in the Okanagan and teaching privately and at the Kelowna Community Music School. Tickets for Death By Chocolate are $25 and are available at Wickett Business Services.

GET THE FULL STORY
YOUR NEWSPAPERRECYCLE
Time OuTTHEME OF THE WEEK: A new planetary change is taking place in the sky this week. Mercury moves into the compassion-ate sign of Pisces. Our minds and our communication with oth-ers will have a more empathetic inclination. Forget the details and the criticism and delve into a more receptive, psychic world. Imagination and creativity will inspire us to get in touch with new spheres of expressiveness. During this cycle, Mercury will be in a tricky relationship with Jupiter asking us to be careful with what we say and not avoid becoming overly fanatical in the beliefs of any doctrines.
ARIES (March 21-April 19): A mental glance at your recent life events will conquer your thoughts with lots of self-examina-tion, reflection and meditation. You prefer to keep your opin-ions and your comments to yourself for the time being. If you are involved in a creative field, now is your time to create some-thing special in complete solitude.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20): You are becoming more involved in your community and you have quite a few things to share. You can start planning your future goals as long as you remain grounded and set yourself realistic expectations about how far you would like to go in life. This will be one of your favorite weeks of the year.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20): You aim high in terms of your life path. You have a broader vision regarding your future, yet you become more aware of your own possibilities. Aim to stay with-in your potential without testing your limits. Let yourself be guided by your intuition.
CANCER (June 21-July 22): The sensitive Cancer is natural at synthesizing emotions and feelings. Your receptivity towards others will increase and you will be able to seize the underlying messages with much more ease. Philosophies and doctrines of any kind interest you now.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): You develop a higher interest in fields such as the occult, demystifying the unknown, delving into the hidden parts of life. Your mind knows no boundaries when it comes to augmenting your curiosity into the darker sides of life.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): You seek more communication and you are more expressive with your partner at this time. Any deals or negotiations made around this cycle should be carefully analyzed. Don’t gloss over the details as you might overlook some important points.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Your work pace will increase in rhythm and you might have a hard time catching up with all the piles accumulated on your desk. Legal matters will come into focus reminding you to take care of mundane details. Despite all, this week will offer you plenty of sweet opportunities!
SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Your may rediscover some hid-den talents in your self-expression during this time. It is easier for you to create when your communication abilities are highly inspired by the energies around you. Expect some financial news either from your bank or relating to your taxes.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): You will show more inter-est and receptivity when it comes to your family needs. Some discoveries in regards to your family ties may take you by sur-prise now. You will be thinking of moving to a different living space. Your mind turns to personal matters.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Daily errands are adding up in volume and you are overwhelmed by all the mundane work that has to be accomplished during this phase. You will be more outspoken, but be careful not to sound overly confident or overbearing.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): This is a cycle when you will re-assess your budgetary needs. Plan realistically and examine what you can and cannot afford to spend. Be careful with any paperwork that requires high amounts of concentration. Avoid any investments during this time.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): At this time you will have a say in anything. You might come a bit too forthright and too blunt. It would be wise to weight your words carefully so you don’t of-fend anyone. Reevaluate the documents in relation to a proper-ty.

Dream jobKevin Flynn, Caroline Watson, Cathy Bartsch, Caitlyn Morenez and Ryan Schwalbe serve customers during the 19th annual Wendy’s Dreamlift Day held Wednesday, Jan. 30. The event raised a total of $115,028 to help send special children to Disneyland.
Drivers who choose to flout B.C.’s distracted driving rules by talk-ing or texting on their cell phones can expect to see targeted enforce-ment throughout B.C. during the month of February.
Since the imple-mentation of legisla-tion banning the use of handheld devices in January 2010, police in British Columbia issued
105,972 violation tick-ets for use of handheld electronic devices.
“In the month of Feb-ruary, police across B.C. will be targeting drivers who operate vehicles while using a handheld device” says Cpl. Rob-ert McDonald of BC RCMP Traffic Services. “Holding a cell phone in your hand on speaker phone is an offence un-der the Motor Vehicle
Act and could result in a fine of $167. “This also applies to leaving the cell phone on your con-sole and typing while stopped in traffic.”
Preliminary statistics for 2012 indicate that 30 per cent of motor ve-hicle fatalities involved distracted driving and 37 per cent of motor vehicle serious injuries involved distracted driv-ing.
