Police nab charity scammerArrest: Kelowna man also linked to reports of fraud in Salmon Arm.

A 22-year-old Kelowna man has been charged with multiple counts of fraud, theft, impersonation and using false pretenses after he was arrested in connection with a credit card skimming operation that took place in Kelowna, and may be linked to similar cases in Salmon Arm.

On March 16 at 1:30 p.m., the Kelowna RcMP responded to a complaint of a possible fraud.

A man wearing an Id card and stating that he was collecting donations on behalf of the Ron-ald Mcdonald House charity had apparently just taken money from a resident with the use of a por-table debit device.

The resident immediately phoned Ronald Mc-donald House and was advised that this was an ongoing scam. She provided police with a de-scription and the suspect was taken into custody a short distance away. This story is strikingly simi-lar to the reports from Salmon Arm.

The man was identified as James Alexander Graham, who is known to police and remains in custody to appear in court on Tuesday, March 19.

neighbourhood inquiries indicated that Graham had canvassed the area and there were further vic-tims. Subsequent investigation also revealed that this may be the tip of the iceberg, with more than 47 victims in just a few days in both Kelowna and Salmon Arm.

On the weekend of March 2 and 3, a number of residents in the lakeview Meadows subdivision were targeted. The scam continued into the next week at various locations in the city, with local RcMP issuing a public warning about the charity credit skimming scam.

Graham has been charged with four counts each of fraud under $5,000, theft under $5,000, imper-sonation and using false pretences. More charges may be recommended pending further investiga-tion.

RcMP are advising people that may have been a victim of this scam to call the Salmon Arm de-tachment, and report any compromised credit cards to your financial institution.

City to add stop signsA new three-way intersection will be

established at the Marine Park drive rail-way crossing in response to safety con-cerns raised by Transport canada.

city council approved the intersec-tion as recommended in a report by en-gineering and public works director Rob niewenhuizen. This will result in the placement of three new stop signs where Marine Park drive connects to lakeshore – one leaving Marine Park, another to the north-east side of Marine Park drive for

traffic coming into town, and the third directly across from Marine Park drive for traffic heading northeast up lake-shore.

The three-way stop is one of four recommendations from a traffic impact analy-sis conducted by the city in response to a May 3, 2012 letter of notice from Trans-port canada railway safety inspector dennis Maskell.

In the letter, Maskell raises a number of safety concerns witnessed

during a March 22, 2012 in-spection of the intersection, including an “ever-present possibility of a vehicle be-ing hit by one or more trains while trying to engage this T-intersection without the right of way,” adding there is “virtually no road storage ca-pacity after the railway tracks for vehicles trying to access lakeshore drive.”

only requirement of Transport Canada was to make the crossing safer, but this was a challenge nonetheless. He reiterated Maskell’s concern, stating the biggest issue is the lim-ited distance between the tracks and the stop bar on Lakeshore and Marine Park Drive.

“The reason why this will work is be-cause on a three-way stop, there’s time,” said Niewenhuizen. “When people stop, there’s enough time to clear the intersection, and because Lakeshore is now being stopped, Marine Park will have the same amount of time to clear as the other vehicles being stopped.

“So if there is a trail-er parked across the tracks, they will have enough time to clear out before the arms will activate from the rail crossing.”

Niewenhuizen said

this was the least intru-sive of the four options. It is also one of the least expensive, with man-datory improvements running at $3,000, and another $21,000 in rec-ommended improve-ments.

“This is the safest option we looked at,” said Niewenhuizen.

“It will, unfortu-

nately, stop traffic on Lakeshore coming into town. So we have to have some mitigating factors in the beginning forewarning drivers, because that stretch on Lakeshore is almost an acceleration zone, as we found when we did the traffic counts and the speed bumps were in question.”

Included in the rec-ommended improve-ments are a speed read-er sign and pedestrian signage.

Niewenhuizen said the existing crosswalks will stay where they are for the time being.

The installation of the new stop signs is scheduled to take place at the end of May.

Changes in the works: Downtown traffic flow will be altered when three new stop signs are installed at the entrance to the Ma-rine Park intersection due to concerns about safety at the railway crossing.

School district #83 trustees will be sharpening their pencils in preparation for the upcoming budget deliberations — as they will need to find ways to cover the projected $1.8 million short-fall.

Secretary-Treasurer Sterling Olson reiterated the bad news at the March 12 budget meet-ing, noting the provincial budget outlined no new funds for educa-tion. This is coupled with the fact that this school district continues to face significant declining en-rolment, which is expected to drop by another 240 students in the 2013-2014 school year. The school district is funded on a formula, based primarily, on the number of students attending.

This means trustees will need to make reductions, potentially involving student services, as the lions’ share of the school district’s operating budget is al-located to salaries and benefits.

The potential sale of eight properties considered surplus to school district needs is not a solution to the budget issue, as the revenue from such a sale can not be used to fund operating ex-penses.

Should the properties be ap-proved for sale by the ministry, and eventually sold, the revenue generated would be earmarked for capital expenditures only.

As part of the budget process the board is asking the public to comment or make suggestions through their website at www.sd83.bc.ca, at the “comments to trustees” link.

Chris Coers, board vice chair, noted the school district budget is complex and it may not be easy for parents or the public to come up with ideas for sav-ing money, however the board is looking for input on what is important about the local school system.

“Then we know what people want us to protect,” she said.

The District Parent Advisory

Council (DPAC) is also encour-aging parents to submit their ideas and opinions and has sent a letter to parents.

“What would you like protect-ed in our children’s education? What aspects are really working in the funding, what are lack-ing?” says Jennifer Cook, presi-dent of the DPAC.

Cook’s letter points to a few areas of potential reductions, including a restructuring of the district’s education outreach and adult learning, which is funded at a deficit of more than $250,000.

Declining enrolment also means the district will need ap-proximately 10 fewer teachers, which would also reduce the budget.

“…However, even with these reductions, the board needs to look at other cost saving mea-sures, not only for 2013-2014, but into the next couple of years as well,” Cook writes.

Public feedback on the budget will be accepted until April 12.

RCMP find 91 pounds of marijuana

The nose knows: RCMP officers investigate a property on 10th Avenue SE where an overpowering smell led to the discovery and seizure of 91 pounds of marijuana.

Police

Beat

The occupant of a home lacked the luck of the Irish on St. Patrick’s Day, when police showed up in response to a panic alarm at the residence.Despite telling police nothing was wrong, the man, who is known to the local RCMP, couldn’t do much about an “overpowering” smell of marijuana coming from the residence Sunday afternoon.The man was taken into custody, and after a search of the residence, RCMP discovered and seized 91 pounds of marijuana.RCMP continue to investigate. The man’s name is being withheld until Crown counsel has re-viewed the case and will consider charges under the Controlled Drugs and Substances Act.

Heroin seized, pair arrestedTwo men were arrested Friday, March 15 and a substantial amount of heroin was seized after RCMP searched a home on Auto Road. In addition to the heroin, police also seized a loaded, sawed-off shotgun and quantities of other drugs. The names of the accused men, who are known to police, are not being released until formal charges are approved.

Auto parts stolenOn Monday, March 4, Salmon Arm RCMP received a report of theft of vehicle parts from Braby Motors located at 1250 Trans Canada Highway. Five 2012 Ram trucks had specific diesel particulate filters and catalytic converter engine parts removed from underneath the vehicles. The theft occurred sometime between 5 p.m. Saturday, March 2 and the early morning hours of Sunday, March 3. Police are asking anyone with information with respect to this unique theft to contact the Salmon Arm RCMP or Crime-Stoppers.

Editorial

Never mind the platform, forget about spewing out more press releases about all that is wrong in B.C. What B.C. Conservative Leader John Cum-mins should be doing right now is arranging a long lunch date with Gordon Wilson. It was Wil-son, after all, who perfected his timing during the 1991 provincial election’s televised debate to establish the B.C. Liberal Party as the centre-right heir to Social Credit.

As NDP Leader Mike Harcourt and Social Credit Leader Rita Johnston bickered, Wilson, then leader of the nothing-to-lose B.C. Liberals, quipped: “This reminds me of the legislature and here’s a classic example of why nothing ever gets done in the province of British Columbia.”

That remark helped Wilson’s Liberals win 17

seats in the election, which were 17 more than the party held entering the campaign.

The B.C. Liberals were caught in a deceitful plan to use taxpayer-funded resources to court the ethnic vote via an extremely cynical agenda. As a result, the party has repaid government $70,000.

The NDP has its own ethnic-voter scandal brewing with news the party had diverted more than $500,000 from constituency offices across B.C. to be used for what Auditor General John Doyle has determined to be partisan purposes.

Since policy and press conferences have not ignited voters, perhaps the Conservatives should simply ask voters to give them a chance to rip off the taxpayer, in the spirit of fairness.

Time to let another party rip us off?

The best obituary everAs a reporter, one of the first things that gets drilled into you is

the importance of your opening line in a story.It’s the line that hooks and attracts the readers, and makes them

want to read the rest of the story.Well that same rule can apply to obituaries (hey, somebody’s

gotta write them).And the first line of 80-year-old Harry Weathersby Stamps’

online obit from the Long Beach (Miss.) Sun Herald made me not only read the rest of his fascinating story, but left me wishing I had met Mr. Stamps in person:

Harry Weathersby Stamps, ladies’ man, foodie, natty dresser and accomplished traveller, died on Saturday, March 9, 2013.

What I learned about Mr. Stamps from his incredibly hilarious obituary was this: he hated cilantro and arugula; claimed to have remembered EVERY meal he ate in his 80 years; that the women in his life were numerous; he married his “main squeeze,” with whom they had two daughters. He taught his girls to “fish and to pick a quality hammer, to love nature and to just be thankful.”

Stamps had a lifetime love of boiled peanuts, devilled eggs and “outsmarting squirrels.” He was also a former government and sociology professor for Gulf Coast Community College.

A Korean War veteran, Stamps “took fashion cues from no one. His signature everyday look was all his: a plain pocketed T-shirt designed by the fashion house, Fruit of the Loom, his black-label elastic waist shorts worn above the navel and sold ex-clusively at Sam’s on Highway 49, and a pair of old school Wal-labees that were always paired with a grass-stained MSU (I’m guessing Mississippi State University) baseball cap.”

Finally, and what made me bust a gut laughing was, “because of his irrational fear that his family would throw him a golf-themed funeral despite his hatred for the sport, his family will hold a private, family-only service free of any type of theme.”

“Paint a picture for the reader” is another lesson we reporters are taught.

Well if that obituary doesn’t paint a remarkable portrait of Har-ry Weathersby Stamps, nothing will.

The obituary was apparently written by one of Stamps’ daugh-ters and, hysterical as it is, you can also feel the love coming through for Mr. Stamps. He was a character, he lived a good life and he was beloved. To me, it’s how an obituary should read and I hope mine will read likewise when the time comes.

I still haven’t decided yet if I want any kind of service (let alone one with a theme), and I have joked in the past that I would write my own eulogy so that way I could get what I wanted said about me at my own service rather than leaving the task to a friend or family member.

Not only does Stamps’ obituary leave me wishing I’d known him, it made me think about my 49 years on earth and that I’ve got a lot of things I still want to accomplish before I leave this world which, hopefully, is 30 years or more away.

Like being a better dresser.

View PointThe Observer asked:What do you think of the BC liquor store moving out of the downtown?

Bev Wice“They should keep it where it is because it is better for all the downtown shops and businesses.”

Caleb Espinoza“It should help bring people to the (Centenoka) mall.”

Donna Good“It’s more central where it is and I think if they move it, it will only hurt the downtown businesses.”

Patricia Larmand“As a non-drinker I really don’t care, but I think it’s better to keep it where it is.”

Winifred Ewing“The downtown area needs it to draw people. Without it, it’s just going to kill business.”

I am writing in re-sponse to the March 12 article “Doctor protests against pesti-cides” by Barb Brou-wer. I am a first-year university student in environmental and sustainable studies.

I attend Acadia Uni-versity in Nova Scotia, but I reside in Salmon Arm during the sum-mers. During my stud-ies here, we have been educated about the many harmful effects of pesticide use and their direct correlation

with disease and some cancers. Salmon Arm being my hometown, it delights me to see people at the top of their profession stand-ing up for our environ-ment, and the health of our citizens.

About the licence to spray pesticides, I would agree with the point of view that, it simply makes no sense. Having a li-cence to spray some-thing extremely toxic doesn’t make it any less toxic. It’s still

harming our environ-ment and our resi-dents. Over here in Nova Scotia there are many groups that be-lieve pesticides should be banned in general, and I couldn’t agree more.

I thank you for bringing this attention to my hometown, and good luck on making your case for the ban. Hopefully I will come home to a pesticide- free environment!

VICTORIA – There was some public business conducted in the final frantic days of the B.C. leg-islature session last week, but you likely wouldn’t have heard much about it.

Premier Christy Clark’s skimpy governing agenda was overshadowed by the delivery of an internal in-vestigation report into her government’s ethnic out-reach program.

A review by four deputy ministers detailed what reporters already knew from a memo and meeting notes leaked to the NDP. The plan started in the pre-mier’s office, led by Clark’s deputy chief of staff, who resigned as soon as it was made public.

A B.C. Liberal Party employee attended the first meeting, expressly intended to organize events to impress immigrant commu-nities, then harvest the goodwill in the form of contact lists for the coming elec-tion campaign.

After 10,000 e-mails were collected and 27 interviews conducted, they re-vealed a few significant details.

Former multiculturalism minister John Yap knew or should have known that the scheme was being kept secret because it was an inappropriate use of government resources. He won’t be back in cabinet, although Clark said he intends to run for re-election in Rich-mond-Steveston.

Yap’s executive assistant resigned when the report came out, admitting he helped cover the tracks of political meddling in the hiring of three outreach contractors with sufficient loyalty to the party.

Clark insists she knew nothing of this plan. She tabled the investigation report, and then announced that the B.C. Liberal Party had written a $70,000 cheque to the government to cover the estimated cost of the inappropriate political work done by non-political staff.

Here’s the part taxpayers may not fully appreci-ate. There are authorized political staffers all over the

legislature, in the premier’s office, the Opposition leader’s office and two teams of caucus employees who spend much of their time digging up dirt on the other party. All are paid by you and me.

A line is crossed only when a non-political em-ployee such as a ministry communications director acts on behalf of the party. The main offender in that capacity was one Brian Bonney, whose records sug-gested he spent half of his time on party work. He quit in February, before the plan was leaked, and the party paid back half of his salary for the 18 months he was on the public payroll.

NDP outrage over this was blunted by another leaked document. This one was from a never-re-leased 2010 report by Auditor General John Doyle, which condemned a five-year program of skimming money from NDP constituency office budgets all over the province and using it for political work.

In a nice bit of symmetry, much of the more than $400,000 was spent to put three-time candidate Gabriel Yiu on the NDP cau-cus payroll. Yiu’s Vancouver-Fraserview candidate page boasts of his ethnic out-reach work, which included tirelessly warning B.C.’s Chinese community about the evils of the harmonized sales tax.

In fact, it was the NDP-Yiu operation that inspired a B.C. Liberal copycat plan.

The NDP quietly stopped the budget skimming after Doyle pointed out the blindingly obvious, which is that con-stituency funds are to serve constituents and are not to be diverted to political or-ganizing.

It was kept under wraps by the se-cretive Legislative Assembly Manage-

ment Committee. This is the B.C. Liberal-NDP co-managed trough of undocumented MLA expenses and other questionable payments that Doyle has only recently dragged into the light.

Both of these schemes have the same stink. Both are intentional abuse of taxpayers’ money for the po-litical gain of the dominant parties. There is no moral high ground for either of them.

Both the Liberals and NDP have betrayed us

Going in the wrong direction

Support for pesticide ban

It’s all part of the same question. Are we humans going to irre-versibly harm the life- support systems of this planet, and therefore our own health as a species and other spe-cies, or not?

Proposals to priva-tize, or make corporate access to resources in general more unregu-lated are now becom-ing a threat to our very survival. Our forests are perhaps the most important natural re-source we have given that the greatest envi-ronmental challenge of our time is exces-sive carbon in the at-mosphere, which our forests greatly help to ameliorate. Unbridled wealth generation by a private resource extrac-

tion-based economy is no longer in everyone’s best interest, if it ever was. This is really just the habitual perpetu-ation of an economic system we have cre-ated, except that now we continue in this vein at our own per-il. It is a hangover of sorts, a carrying on of a set of practices and behaviors well beyond the point where they make sense, unless you are talking about those other ‘cents.’

We are faced with a global calamity of cat-astrophic proportion, that is, the continuing production and distri-bution of atmospheric carbon through the combustion of fossil fuels, by us.

This is perhaps

the strongest case to cease continued efforts to privatize greater chunks of B.C.’s for-ests, by allowing cor-porations to convert their licenses to TFLs, and continue the ap-palling abuse of these lands. We need as many big carbon-fix-ing trees as possible in-tact and healthy. They are the lungs of the planet. It is not in the public’s best interest to do anything which increases the risk to the health of our forests, so please remove Section 24 of Bill 8.

You are our suppos-edly our leaders, for the moment, and you are taking us in precisely the wrong direction!

Bill Lytle-McGhee

Both of these schemes have the

same stink. Both are intentional abuse of

taxpayers’ money for the political gain of

the dominant parties. There is no moral

high ground for either of them.

1923 Premier Oliver addressed a capacity crowd in the Rex Theatre on the subject of freight rate equalization. Mayor Newnes welcomed the premier on behalf of the citizens of Salmon Arm.The premier said that although officials of the CPR had told him they would oppose any attempt to lower rates in the mountains, and although he had a great liking and respect for many officials of the CPR, in manners concerning the rights of the people of B.C. he would fight to the last ditch.

1933 Notice was given that henceforth riding the rods would be illegal.City council worried about their inability to shoulder the entire financial burden of relief since receiving word of provincial and federal withdrawal of support. Ald. Jas Day was told to provide relief only in cases of real distress.

1943 There were 10,000 women between the ages of 18 and 45 serving in the Canadian Army. One thousand had enlisted in B.C., 1,000 more were needed.People of Salmon Arm raised $4,403.50 for the Red Cross.

1953 Work was completed in demolishing the part of the building occupied by Ken Hunter, Hunter’s Pharmacy, corner of Alexander Avenue and Hudson Street, in preparation of construction of a new business block on that location.The property occupied by the library was purchased by Salmon Arm lodge No. 52 AF & AM.

1963 In a vote of 40 to nine, shareholders of the Salmon Arm Golf and Country Club Association decided not to sell the community golf course.Dr. C.J.M Willoughby won the Kamloops seat for the Conservatives in the federal elec-tions. Stuart Fleming, Conservative, retained Okanagan-Revelstoke.

The Turtle Valley Donkey Refuge is full to the brim and beyond.

Charity founders Shirley Mainprize and Rob Miller were in the process of adding two more residents to the 39 donkeys who currently call the sanctuary home when a plea for help for 15 mini donkeys came from Vancouver Island.

“The owner has a pulmonary heart condi-tion and is very, very ill,” says Mainprize, noting the owner called them when he re-alized his poor health was preventing him from caring for his animals.

Miller was on his way to the island yes-terday to build a temporary shelter for the mini donkeys, who have been out in the rain since the roof to their shelter blew off in a winter storm.

Mainprize says she and Miller agreed to take the mini donkeys even though the sanctuary is at capacity – then wondered how they were going to manage.

“As we gathered, they need to be reha-bilitated; they have bad feet and trouble walking,” she says, noting the non-profit sanctuary gets a $22,000 gaming grant but it can only be used to care for the existing population.

“You always know if their feet are bad, their teeth are bad – that’s a given,” Main-prize says. “Dental care will be a minimum of $1,500, the ferry is $1,500 per truck and there’s two of them going down, plus I fig-ure $4,000 labour for the equine haulers for total transport.”

Mainprize figures about $10,000 will be needed to transport the donkeys and to pro-vide initial care. And half of the current hay barn will have to be converted to provide shelter for the new additions.

“It’s likely they haven’t had dental or far-rier care,” she adds, noting initial farrier care will cost approximately $600, with another $100 for worming paste and $40 each for tetanus, equine flu and West Nile injections.

And once they’re here, the donkeys that top out at 36 inches, will need more care and a lot of time before they can be sent out for fostering or integrated into the existing mini-donkey herd.

“We have to keep them in quarantine for three weeks, depending on their condition, and then we put them out with a fence be-tween them and the rest of the herd, and

then we do supervised visits,” says Main-prize, explaining donkey society is matriar-chal. “The boys posture – they have their little harems and they finally fit into the order by being more aggressive or submis-sive. Then another new donkey arrives and it starts again.”

The latest plea for help is no surprise to Mainprize. She says people buy the animals because they’re cute but no longer want them when they discover how much work is involved – or have to give them up when they age or become ill.

Mainprize points out that donkeys can live to be 50 years old, sometimes outliv-ing their owners.

Former Salmon Arm residents, Mainprize and Miller began their ad-venture with donkeys in 1998 when they were living in Sunnybrae.

“We bought a six-month old a boy, Max,” says Main-prize, noting the owner let her have him if she agreed to take his mother as well. She, however had very bad feet, a condition the couple tried

to alleviate and one which taught them a lot about donkeys.

“Each donkey taught us a new issue,” laughs Mainprize, whose efforts, along with Miller’s, are voluntary.

The couple have outgrown their current space and are planning to sell the farm and buy one on that is on flatter land and will accommodate more donkeys. Mainprize, who has, on occasion, gone door-to-door selling pencils to try to raise funds to sup-port the sanctuary, is hoping more people will step forward with donations.

Members of the Bugs R Us Club at Celis-ta Elementary have raised $250 and are

going to sponsor a donkey for five years with the money.

For information on the sanctuary, visit www.turtlevalleydonkeyrefuge.

com. Tax receipts will be issued for donations to the Turtle Valley Donkey Refuge Society at 1125 Ptarmigan Rd., Chase VOE 1M1.

In the meantime, the sanctu-ary that plays host to special needs groups as well as area residents and visitors will open for the season on Easter week-end with a special admission-

by-donation event from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m.

Regular season hours are 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. Wednesdays, Saturdays and Sundays until the fall.

Caretakers: Rob Miller, top with Lillie, and Shirley Mainprize below with Fifi, care for more than 40 donkeys at their non-profit refuge.

“On Sept. 4, 2007, six-year-old Christian Lee was supposed to have been walking into his Grade 1 classroom for the first time. In-stead, in the early hours that morning, Christian and four members of his family died in a murder/suicide.”

This is how the 2009 report from the Repre-sentative for Children and Youth regarding the murder of five peo-ple in Oak Bay, Victo-ria by Christian’s fa-ther, Peter Lee, begins.

It was recommenda-tions from this report, Honouring Christian Lee, that prompted a better approach to dealing with domestic violence – an approach that is being embraced in Salmon Arm.

On Thursday, March 14, 70 people repre-senting a variety of social services in the Shuswap met at the Prestige Harbourfront Resort for a training session hosted by the Shuswap Integrated Case Assessment Team (ICAT).

The session focused on recognizing the signs of high-risk do-mestic violence and learning how to make referrals to the ICAT.

The Honouring Christian Lee report emphasized a lack of collaboration and lack of a coordinated re-sponse from the agen-cies involved. There was generally no com-munication or coordi-nation between child welfare and criminal justice systems. Seven different agencies had information about the domestic violence. Al-though the Ministry of Child and Family Development and po-lice independently dis-cussed safety planning with Christian’s moth-er, Sunny Park, a com-prehensive safety plan was not developed nor

was there a rigorous assessment of the risk posed by Peter Lee.

Brooke McLardy, programs manager for Vernon Women’s Tran-sition House Society, one of the speakers at the Thursday ses-sion, led participants through the timeline in the Oak Bay trag-edy and later outlined risk factors that are now used by ICAT. Nineteen factors are considered, including the offender’s access to weapons, alcohol and drug use, mental health, employment stability, stalking/jeal-ousy, thoughts about suicide, current status of the relationship, and strangulation – which, she said, is often one of the last acts of do-mestic violence before murder.

Strangulation can be particularly dangerous, McLardy pointed out, because victims may have only transient symptoms, yet because of underlying brain damage caused by lack of oxygen, they can die 24 to 36 hours later.

Vernon created an In-tegrated Case Assess-ment Team in 2010, the first of its kind in B.C., and has trained teams across the province, including in Salmon Arm. Vernon’s was formed as a result of the Chayal murder/sui-cide in Vernon in 1996 when a man killed his estranged spouse and eight of her relatives at a pre-wedding gather-ing, as well as the rec-ommendations in the

Honouring Christian Lee report.

“The recommenda-tions from Oak Bay were the same recom-mendations…,” said McLardy, and they pointed to more col-laboration and sharing of information.

McLardy mentioned that social media can make safety more dif-ficult. One particular offender individually contacted 200 Face-book ‘friends’ of his former spouse in order to find out where she had moved.

Once the commit-tee assesses the risk, a safety plan, tailored to each case, is created.

Jan Seelinger, pro-gram coordinator with Community Based Vic-tim Services in Salmon Arm, noted how im-portant it is to ensure the victim can execute her safety plan. While an agency might, with good intention, jot down suggestions for the victim, factors such as language or trauma could make the plan impossible for her to follow.

Later in the discus-sion, Seelinger noted that one issue a team sometimes faces is an offender being gov-erned by two different court orders. A crimi-nal court could issue a ‘no contact’ order, while family court might have allowed ac-cess.

Regarding the court system, McLardy said Crown Counsel in Ver-non has been part of the process since 2008.

“They use our re-ports in court and have been very supportive.”

She said she’s pleased, overall, with the work that’s been done in Vernon over the past three years.

“I think the families feel far more support-ed. They have access to enhanced safety plan-ning as these agencies are working together with the family.”

Volunteering with Interior Health’s Lifeline program is relatively simple and a brief task that can yield life-saving results.

The program is offered through the health authority to provide emer-gency response home monitoring for individuals recovering from surgery, people with chronic health problems, or for seniors wish to continue living safely and independently.

Most people are familiar with the technology behind the Lifeline pro-gram from TV, and the famous tag line, “I’ve fallen and I can’t get up.” While the technology has advanced, the premise is generally the same.

“They wear a little button, and if they have any kind of trouble, they just press the button and it tells a little communicator to dial into our re-sponse centre where there’s staff on duty 24-hours a day,” says IH Lifeline program manager David Kelcey. “It comes up on a computer screen at our monitoring station and it has all the information about the individual, including the names of some neigh-bours or friends or family – we call them responders – who can come and check on them.”

Kelcey says the response is based on the seriousness of the situation. If

it’s a fall and the person is not hurt, a responder is called in. If it’s more seri-ous, an ambulance is dispatched.

Where the volunteers come in is with the installation of the technology.

“The volunteers actually install the equipment in the home. It’s not com-plicated,” says Kelcey. “They hook it up and show the individual how to op-erate the equipment.”

Volunteers are currently needed in Sicamous and Salmon Arm. Rol-lie Durocher, who currently lives in Salmon Arm but has deep roots in Sicamous, has been volunteering with the Lifeline program for about two decades. Durocher says the job of installing the Lifeline equipment was initially taken up by retired Telus em-ployees, but he assures it’s easy to do, and easy to use.

To people considering taking part in the Lifeline program, Durocher tells them to think of it as peace of mind for the rest of the family.

“I’ve had some situations where I’ve put them in and the people have had to use them within 24 hours,” says Durocher.

There is a fee for Lifeline, but there is sponsorship funding available for individuals experiencing financial hardship. For information, call Kelc-ey at 1-800-994-8414, or email [email protected].

Time OuTARIES (March 21-April 19): This week will find you contemplating about past actions or meditating over a certain closure. Being in such a deep reflective mood, you have certainly gained more insight about your innermost thoughts. Once the Sun enters your sign, welcome the invigorated new you. TAURUS (April 20-May 20): You are asking yourself whether you had made the right choices when it comes to certain wishes. A friend might have reappeared into your life or an opportunity might have exposed itself to you thus making you question what or for whom you are truly fighting for.GEMINI (May 21-June 20): You might have felt off track while questioning your standing and your career decisions. It is better to not instigate anything for the long haul this week. Remain patient and things will slowly become less foggy. CANCER (June 21-July 22): Your desire to expand your horizons to new levels might have felt a bit limited or you may have encountered roadblocks that did not let you fully taste life’s opportunities. You will progressively regain your confidence and you will no longer feel estranged in your own territory.LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Emotional ups and downs will lessen in your life and you will slowly recover your force. You gained greater insight about your deepest problems and soon you will have the ability to see the root of your problems with greater clarity. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Relationships have been full of mist and at times, cloudy. Much confusion and irritation have interfered with your potential to prosper or grow within a business or romantic alliance. A new picture is in the works for you, one that is little by little picking up for the better.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): The office atmosphere proved to be hectic at times and way too unstable. At times it might have been hard to pinpoint who is on your side and who is not. Issues dealing with your health also seemed a bit draining. Step by step, you will put the pieces together and gain more progress in your daily activities.SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Pleasures had to be postponed for a while or at least, that’s how they felt. You will be reacquainted to the things that truly inspire you such as your children, a hobby or a romantic interest. Pick yourself up and be ready to engage yourself in some well-deserved fun.SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Matters concerning your family unit might have come to the fore during the last few weeks. You probably had to revisit your past and revise a particular familial situation. Bits by bits this issue will become more lucid and easier to deal with.CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): You have encountered plenty of blockages and delays when interacting with others. Your daily activities seemed too hectic at times thus making it harder for you to rely on a well scheduled agenda. Your voice will soon have a more coherent vibe to it and others will be more receptive to your messages.AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): You are slowly getting out of a phase where you had been questioning your values, your worthiness and your self-esteem. This self-inquisition will give you light to your persisting questions and give you further insight about your own worthiness.PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Your everyday life issues have experienced a major or intermission. It was hard for you to advance when you encounter unanticipated roadblocks. You have a small break before you will finally move into another chapter of your life where things will finally start progressing.

What I value...Improved TransporTaTIon& InfrasTrucTure four laning of the Trans-canada Highwayfrom Kamloops to the alberta border

The current situation...· Existing two lanes cannot support increased traffic volume, leading to congestion and preventable traffic accidents.

· Avalanches and avalanche control between Revelstoke and Sicamous forces road closures, discouraging tourism to the area.

· Road restrictions limit product shipment, negatively impacting local business.

Salmon+wine=successTour operators and

travel media in Lon-don, England got a sample of the Shus-wap courtesy of Leah Podollan and Melanie Tighe-Lovsin of Po-dollan Inn and MJO Tours.

The pair visited London as part of the Canadian Signature Experience, where 35 tourism providers from across the country par-ticipated in an event at Canada House.

The local presen-tation, dubbed the Salmon’n Wine Dis-covery, is a guided tour with MJO Tours in one of their deluxe vehicles.

It begins with a stop at the Adams River to see the annual salmon run in late September and October, a visit to cool-climate wineries, tastings of local farm-made cheese and cured meats, gourmet dining with wine pairings at Table 24 and a stay at the Podollan Inn.

The women par-ticipated in marketing sessions and speed net-working sessions with UK media and tour op-erators.

“The one-on-one business meetings

were a tremendous op-portunity to introduce all that our region has to offer. The UK travel business community expressed enormous interest in our prod-uct,” said Podollan, owner of the Podollan Inn, Salmon Arm. “We feel very encouraged that a positive outcome will result from the meetings.”

The signature expe-rience event included a royal seal of approval from Prince Andrew, Duke of York, who shared his own Cana-dian experiences with the audience.

“I have been all over Canada and I have done some extraordi-nary things, but I have enjoyed my canoeing in Canada in a way that is really so special… For those who don’t have experience of Canada or are selling Canada, these special tourism activities all offer a huge experience to recommend to cli-ents,” said the prince.

Podollan says they are already beginning to follow up on several enquiries.

For more informa-tion on the Salmon’n Wine Discovery pack-age, see details at mo-tors.com and Podollan.com.

Students advance to national stageMore than a dozen

Okanagan College stu-dents, including two from Salmon Arm, will compete in the na-tional Enactus Canada exposition after win-ning first place in the TD Entrepreneurship Challenge and the Scotiabank EcoLiving Green Challenge and third place in the Capi-tal One Financial Edu-cation Challenge at the western regional Enac-tus Canada exposition held in Calgary.

Salmon Arm stu-dents Kris Goralski and Tom Arrowsmith played key roles in the College’s big wins.

Goralski presented for the Financial Edu-cation team, which earned a bronze, and Arrowsmith was the lead on the Shuswap-Launch-a -P reneu r project – one of the main projects the col-lege team presented on.

For the second year in a row Okanagan College took home

the biggest prizes: two golds, a bronze and $3,500 in cash prizes. On the road to the po-dium, the college out-performed competitors from UBC, SFU, Bran-don University and the University of Alberta, among others.

The teams presented to a panel of inde-pendent judges on a number of community-based projects, all de-veloped and organized by the Okanagan Col-lege student group.

“It is amazing to see the difference our team is making in the com-munity, how meaning-ful and powerful of a connection we make with the people of our communities,” said Paven Sekhon, presi-dent of Enactus Okana-gan College.

One of the winning projects was imple-mented in Salmon Arm.

Enactus Okana-gan College created Shuswap-Launch-a-

Preneur, which is a brand new program for entrepreneurs of all ages to launch their ventures in the commu-nity of Salmon Arm in partnership with Com-munity Futures and the Economic Develop-ment Society.

“Every year, our students amaze us by demonstrating their drive to succeed and their desire to give something back,” said Nicole Almond, presi-dent of Enactus Can-

ada. “The work being done in the Okanagan by our community of business, academic and student leaders is inspi-rational and gives you hope for the future.”

The first place fin-ishes for Okanagan College will secure the teams a spot at the national competition where they will go up against regional win-ners from Central and Atlantic Canada.

The competition is in Toronto this May.

Winning way: Salmon Arm’s Kris Goral-ski, second from left, celebrates with other members of the Okanagan College Finan-cial Education team.

Budding entrepre-neurs are at it again in Salmon Arm, well along the way in the 2013 Shuswap Launch-a-Preneur competition.

Much like televi-sion’s Dragon’s Den program where people pitch business ideas to a few wealthy Canadian businesspeople – but a kinder, gentler ver-sion, Launch-a-Preneur assists entrepreneurs in planning for a suc-cessful launch of their business. The support and training then cul-minates in a final com-petition night, April 26, when teams compete for thousands of dollars in prizes and in-kind donations designed to assist with business start-up in the Shuswap.

Seventeen teams began the process in January with 12 teams remaining.

They are being sup-

ported by business mentors, Okanagan Enactus – formerly Stu-dents in Free Enterprise (SIFE), Okanagan Col-lege professors, Com-munity Futures/Accel-erate Shuswap, and the Salmon Arm Economic Development Society. Workshops the com-petitors participate in include topics such as finance and selling.

The process and all of the tools involved help an entrepreneur to clarify what their prod-uct is, who their cus-tomers are, and if the plan they’ve created is viable.

“The neat thing about this one is a real spirt

of co-operation,” says Carol McGillivray, business support co-ordinator for Salmon Arm Economic Devel-opment. “There are all these folks with differ-ent ideas for business-

es…They’re saying to each other ‘hey, have your thought of this…’ It’s really kind of neat to see the support for each other.”

Come Friday, April 26, when all of the

learning and prepara-tion culminates in the competition night, teams present an “el-evator pitch” to a panel of judges.

A selection of teams is then invited to move

on to the final round where they provide a more detailed presenta-tion and answer ques-tions from the judges and audience.

The finalists are com-peting for a number

of awards including Green Initiative, Public Choice, and first, sec-ond and third awards. Along with the awards are thousands of dol-lars in prizes including marketing packages,

website development packages, seed capi-tal, business consulting time, and accounting and legal fees.

Information on the competition is available at launch-a-preneur.ca.

SportsPair try their hand at swordplay

While the TV is usually the culprit when it comes to young people’s lack of exercise, it served to get a couple of local boys into a new sport.

“In the Olympics we saw sword-fighting and it looked really fun,” says 12-year-old Ryan Schmitt. “And we saw that TV show, Mod-ern Family, the boy was competing in fencing.”

Swinging a sword is something he had done since he was very lit-tle, says Ryan’s mother, Rhiannon. “He always had a plastic sword he wanted to try – I used to have bruised knees.”

And of course Star Wars light saber duels were also an inspira-tion. Aiken Webster, 11, explains his motivation quite simply: “Star Wars for sure.”

He has been fencing since he was eight. “I wanted a new sport, I didn’t really like the others. On the first day my mom thought I should be a little more protected so my dad joined too. It’s for all ages.”

Both boys go to Okanagan Free-style Fencing but Ryan goes to the club in Vernon and Aiken goes to the one in Armstrong. Their ses-sions begin with a warm-up game, conditioning exercises and then be-gin practising footwork.

“It’s mostly the feet. We do about 45 minutes of footwork and then we do an hour of fencing with foot-work,” says Aiken. “My footwork

has improved a lot. My arm’s reach has gotten longer – that helps, and I’ve learned more moves.”

Ryan has been fencing for just over a year. “I like the games at the beginning and doing the free fenc-ing at the end.”

Rhiannon mentions some of the things she appreciates that fencing embodies: “It’s about honour and being truthful. If an opponent says they’ve touched you, you give the person a point.” She says they’re trained not to argue even if they think their opponent did not actu-ally make a point; they’re supposed to concede gracefully.”

“Its about doing the right thing; it’s not about trying to pull one over on the referee. To voluntarily admit they made a mistake is fantastic. It builds character.”

Aiken says fencing has helped him with co-ordination. “I started out being very unco-ordinated, it’s better now.”

He says not only is there a lot of hand-eye co-ordination, it also takes a lot of co-ordination with your feet “which you can’t even see.” They can’t see because fenc-ers have a thin mesh face guard on their helmets. Schmitt pulls out his gear which includes white nylon breeches (short pants) with sus-penders, a white zip jacket and a couple of swords with rubber tips on the end. Fencers also wear a body cord to register scoring. It attaches to the weapon and runs inside the jacket sleeve, then down the back and out to a scoring box.

“I really like challenging my-self to beat people,” says Webster. “Right now I’m at a disadvantage because my arms are short.”

When he and his dad, Sandy, are paired up, Sandy usually wins.

“I beat him a couple of times,” Webster says, smiling.

Kim, Aiken’s mother, says fenc-ing is a good stress reliever for her husband and it’s helped give her son more confidence: “He’s very

reserved and it’s a chance for him to put himself out there a little bit. He’s competed in tournaments; it’s outside his usual comfort zone. You grow when you do these things.”

Neither Webster nor Schmitt have plans to carry on to national competition or the Olympics. For now, it’s “just for fun” says Ryan.

“It’s very good for your mind,” says Aiken. “They do a move and then you do a move, you decide

what move you’re going to do next. You don’t want to apply the wrong moves.”

“I’m not expecting he’ll swash-buckle for a living,” Rhiannon says of Ryan. “Kids just want to whack swords but it’s beyond a game. It builds character, great character.”

The road back starts with one win and, as of Tuesday, the Salm-on Arm SilverBacks hadn’t been able to get one against the defend-ing national champion Penticton Vees in their best-of-seven Interior Division semifinal.

Down three games to none, the ’Backs tried to stave off elimination Tuesday night at Shaw Centre (past Observer deadline). Adam Clark was to start Game 4 in net after Angus Red-mond started Games 2 and 3.

The series has been closer than the series record would indicate so there is still belief in the Salmon Arm dress-ing room.

“Our first game, we weren’t ourselves; I think they (Vees) were ripe for the picking that day,” said SilverBacks head coach Scott Rob-inson of the 4-2 loss in Game 1. “We were bound up with nerves. The last two games, we’ve been ourselves, we had the lead in Game 2 as well.”

That lead didn’t hold up as Sam Mellor scored twice including an empty-net goal and Thomas Nitsche scored the winner in another 4-2 win.

In Monday’s Game 3, Penticton was lead-ing 2-1 late in the third and got the insurance marker after a scrum in front of the ’Backs net as Jedd Soleway shovelled in a rebound. There was confusion on the play as one official appeared to wave it off but it was eventually ruled a good goal.

“The explanation they said was that he wasn’t waving it off,” said Robinson, adding he was told the official used an arm gesture to signal a stoppage

in play, rather than his whistle. “I think it was more of the procedure of how it was handled; you blow the whistle and make a decision.

“We had people (team officials) sitting around that area that said it was in; it was just the procedure.”

Through three games, Salmon Arm has been held to just five goals. Penticton’s reputation as a team that simply outscores its mistakes isn’t really accurate, says Robinson.

“They’re deep, they’re rolling four lines and they’ve really

bought into defensive hockey,” he said. “Re-ally, the strength of their game right now is prevention.”

Salmon Arm will have to figure out a way around that. Their play-off lives depend on it.

“We’ve tried to get some things, little ad-

justments that help us generate more and we started to see a bit of that last night,” said Robinson. “The differ-ence is they’ve had a couple of high-quality chances and made great shots. We need a little puck luck around the net and swat a few in.”

Robinson has liked what he’s seen from Redmond, who hasn’t made a misstep all year when given a chance in net, but also likes what Salmon Arm na-tive Bryden Marsh is providing. Despite not having any points, Marsh’s energy has led to Vees turnovers and some chances going the other way.

Josh Bowes leads the team with a goal and two assists so far while Shane Hanna has a goal and an assist. Salmon Arm’s power play is 1-for-12, last in the playoffs.

Should there be a Game 5, it goes Thurs-day at 7 p.m. in Pentic-ton.

salmon Arm bull-dogs boxing Club at-tended the bC bronze Gloves boxing Tour-nament on the March 9 weekend in vernon

The club had 12 box-ers prepped to compete in their respective age and weight class: Noah Paterson, ethan Gas-kell, Clayton Archer, Nathan Nasby, reid seeley, Lyle Chap-man, Connor ogilvie, Zach Langtry, ryan Hornung, Jason Weiss, bryan Adkins and Tharen Moore.

Not all of the boys got the opportunity to participate due to a lack of opponents in their categories.

Nasby, however, fought an exhibition bout against an oppo-nent in the higher age group and showed very

well. seeley stepped it up with a fighter who was heavier and had more experience. And while he didn’t win, but seeley showed his boxing abilities and the team was very im-pressed with his heart and determination.

Gaskell and Archer both had their first fights and did very well in their debut outing.

Chapman fought an exhibition bout in the super Heavyweight division and scored a first-round TKo in 38 seconds.

Hornung fought on both days of the tour-nament and boasts an unblemished record of nine wins zero losses. He is now a two-time bronze Gloves Cham-pion.

Adkins won his first

fight in the tournament but had to withdraw from the second day due to the flu.

Moore, won his first fight on Friday but was disqualified in his sec-ond bout, due to a ex-cessive holding call.

Weiss, showed ev-eryone his technical skills and abilities dur-ing the tournament, not only winning his matches, but being selected as the The bronze boy for the tournament. The award honours the best all around boxer.

Peggy Maerz, head coach of the bulldogs, had a very busy week-end, not only getting her boxers ready for every bout, but also taking charge of the weigh-ins and tourna-ment draw.

Now the bulldogs will prepare for their next big tournament, which will be the bC boxing Golden Gloves, to be held in Cranbrook April 13 and 14.

Salmon Arm stick curlers found success, but not gold, at the BC Provincial Stick Curling Championships held in Enderby from March 8 to 10.

For the third time in

the event’s five years of running, Tim Smith and John Campbell of Arm-strong won the A event.

Runners-up out of Salmon Arm were Team Kathie Crosbie and Brian Maurer, tak-

ing the B event. Also hailing from

Salmon Arm, Kevin Baldock and Tom Hughes won the C event with Bill Hammer and Don Watts winning the D event.

Special Olympics programs are returning to Salmon Arm with the start of their Club Fit – Essentials pro-gram.

This program con-sists of fun activities and exercises designed to improve condition-ing and strength. It also has a nutritional in-formation and mental training component.

The program will run every Monday starting April 8 until June 10 from 3:45 to 5:15 p.m. at South Broadview School. The Club Fit program is limited to individuals 14 years old and older with an intellectual disability. There is no charge.

Register in advance of the start date by con-tacting Heather Sims at [email protected]

Even if your child is younger than 14 years old, contact Sims to register an interest. Special Olympics has

programs for children as young as two that could be initiated if there is sufficient inter-est, and appropriate in-structors are available.

The organizers are hoping to use this ini-tial program to get to know all of this area’s potential Spe-cial Olympics athletes and their families and get their feedback on events they may be in-terested in training for in the upcoming sea-son.

It is also a great chance to learn about Special Olympics and all that it has to offer for the intellectually disabled.

If anyone has any interest in participating as an athlete, coach, or volunteer, contact Sims or attend the ini-tial program on April 8 to check it out.

Neo-Medieval super group Corvus Corax – known by passionate fans around the world as the ‘kings of min-strels’ – will bring their legendary show, includ-ing fantastic costumes and the largest hurdy gurdy in the world to Salmon Arm.

The story of Corvus Corax and the group’s quest for the lost musi-cal tradition of the me-dieval minstrel began in 1989 East Germany by members Castus Rabensang and Wim Venustus.

Upon escaping from the former German Democratic Republic, the pair began busk-ing in the streets, often performing with jug-glers and acrobats of the street performer’s underground. By aspir-ing to relive the life of travelling minstrels in this genuine way, the band hoped to discover the musical practices of medieval secular music.

Continuously seek-ing authenticity, Corvus Corax began touring with larger ensembles of seven or eight musi-cians.

Venues for the con-certs during that time were almost exclusively historical places, halls, castles, and medieval

spectacles like the Kaltenberger Ritter-turnier, the largest joust-ing tournament in the world.

Europe-wide Cor-vus Corax performed on the Marcus Square during Venice Carnival, before the Pope’s Pal-ace during the Festival d’Avignon, and other places where the min-strels of yore would likely have played.

After seven years of exploration, the band’s perception of medi-eval authenticity began to change. Like their predecessors, the min-strels of 1,000 years ago who used whatever melodies, rhythms and instruments came their way as they roamed Eu-rope, the musicians of Corvus Corax began to examine the influences of contemporary music on their own practice.

Using fragments of medieval secular music found in old writings, they began reworking them, employing mod-ern arrangements and electrical amplification of traditional medieval instruments, to forge a new sound.

The four bagpipe players and three per-cussionists have thus helped define a new genre – neo-medieval

– which unites visual spectacle and medieval music with the hypnotic dance rhythms of con-temporary music.

The band’s concert activities have exploded and now include clubs, major concert halls, and festivals. These con-certs have culminated in the Cantus Buranas project that includes a 150-piece ensemble of choir, orchestra, and soloists, they created an epic new setting for texts and music from the medieval manu-script Carmina Burana.

Corvus Corax keeps enlarging its vision and has started its next pe-riod of life with the just

released album Sverker, finding inspiration in the ancient musical tra-ditions of the Vikings and Celts.

Corvus Corax joins a stellar lineup of Roots and Blues performers,

with many more yet to be released. Visit www.rootsandblues.ca for information, or to buy tickets for the three-day festival. Earlybird tick-ets are available until the end of May.

New fans celebrate old tradition

Minstrel kings: German group Corvus Corax brings their spec-tacular show to the 21st annual Roots and Blues Festival, which runs Aug. 18 to 20 at the fairgrounds.

After asking whether the Okana-gan College would have the means to potentially purchase the site of the former JL Jackson School, the school district will wait a little lon-ger for an answer.

School board chair Bobbi John-son told the board at Tuesday’s regular meeting that a group, which included representatives from Okanagan College, the City

of Salmon Arm and the Down-town Campus Committee, had asked for an extension until April 5 to determine if they can put to-gether financing for the property.

The Downtown Campus Com-mittee has selected the former JL Jackson School site as the pre-ferred option for an expanded Okanagan College campus in the city.

Two-car collisionRCMP Const. Micah Chan investigates the scene of a two-vehicle accident Friday afternoon at the intersection of 10th Avenue SE and Shuswap Street. An ambulance was called to the scene, but it appears no one was seriously injured.

When two people appeared to be snorting something off a piece of paper just before 11 p.m. in Vernon’s Walmart parking lot, the curious on-looker decided to tell the RCMP about it.

Police responded to the call, and an officer was able to locate the suspect vehicle driving south-bound in the 3200 block of 27th Street.

The driver of the truck was identified as a 32-year-old man from the Salmon Arm area.

“He was found to be in possession of 111 grams of cocaine powder, 1.9 grams of heroin, 1.4 grams of marijuana, four cell phones and a jamming device,” said Vernon RCMP spokesperson Gord Molendyk. The jamming device, he explained, helps jam police radios and cellular phones.

The Shuswap man was taken into custody and was expected to appear in Vernon Provincial Court Monday to face drug-related charges.

This year’s nutrition month theme is Best Food Forward: plan, shop, cook, enjoy!

We all know we should be eating less processed food. While most of us like the idea of eating home-cooked meals, sometimes ac-tually cooking them seems like a lot of work.

Here are some tips to help you out:

PlanOne of the biggest

obstacles to healthy eat-ing is lack of time.

Getting home at 5:30 with a car full of whin-ing, hungry kids and your own dropping san-ity is not a moment for, “just wait 45 minutes, while I put on some brown rice and chop some vegetables for a stir-fry...” only to realize that you don’t have any vegetables and forgot to take the meat out of the freezer.

Taking a few minutes to organize a weekly meal plan will take away a lot of the stress of supper time. On es-pecially busy days, it is okay to plan for fast food, as long as you are having healthy meals the majority of the time.

If eating more veg-etables is a goal, wash-ing and chopping veg-etables on the weekends when you have time will make them ready to grab during the week.

ShopYou have the choice

of what foods you want to bring into your home – leave unhealthy foods at the grocery store!

This is hard to do especially if you are hungry when you are grocery shopping or do not bring a list of food to buy. Another good strategy is to stick to the perimeter of the store, and avoid going down the aisles carrying chips, cookies or other tempting foods.

CookCooking is a life

skill that is not being passed on to our chil-

dren. Unfortunately, it is almost impossible

to have a healthy diet without cooking skills. Research shows that in-volving children in food preparation improves their acceptance and intake of food. Cooking does not have to mean

fancy or time-consum-ing. It can mean scram-bled eggs and toast (five minutes, one pan).

Enjoy!Eating should be

an enjoyable process.

Planning ahead reduces the stress and frenzy around meal times.

Keeping your cup-boards stocked with healthy food will ensure better decision making when you are feeling

stressed or vulnerable. Involving your kids in the cooking process will increase the likeli-hood that they will eat the food you make.

These steps can help you enjoy meals as they

should be: a time to share food with people you love!
