Trustees prepare to slash budgetSchool district: $1.8 million deficit means proposed cuts to staffing, educational services.

School closures are not on the table for School District #83’s up-coming budget deliberations but just about everything else is being considered for cutbacks to cope with a $1.8 million deficit.

A proposed budget is being pre-sented to trustees by secretary-trea-surer Stirling Olson for the May 13 meeting, which details sugges-tions for cuts based on input from the public, parent and employee groups and preliminary budget dis-cussions with school trustees.

“Unfortunately, the funding levels have not been increased to cover the escalating cost pressures

that school districts have and con-tinue to face. Unless this changes, school districts will be required to continue to reduce the programs, services and levels of service in our education system,” writes Olson in his report to the board.

A portion of the budget reduc-tions are directly related to a de-cline in enrolment, particularly in the secondary grades, resulting in staffing and supply reductions of $620,000 without impacting the current level of service in the school district.

This, however, leaves a remain-ing deficit of $1.2 million that has to be cut from school district opera-tions.

The report suggests a num-

ber of cuts across a vast area of school district programs includ-ing: reductions in music program administration to save $40,000, speech and language pathologists to save $20,000, cuts to deaf and hard of hearing programs to save $20,000, gifted program cuts to

save $20,000, special education teachers reductions for a $40,000 savings, and counselling staff cuts shared between secondary and middle schools to save a total of $50,000.

Other notable reductions in staff-ing come to teacher/librarians,

where the suggestion is to change the elementary and middle school staffing ratios to match the second-ary school level of one full time position for 700 students. This will mean cuts of nearly three full-time positions for a saving of $284,400.

Cuts are also suggested for the family life teaching position to save $60,000. If passed, this means regular classroom teachers will be required to teach the family life components of the curriculum.

Department services and supply budgets, including professional de-velopment and travel expenses, are being cut by $266,600, while sub-

stitute and replacements budgets are being cut by $100,000, primarily from a reduction in pro-fessional development leaves.

The school board had already previously voted to cut the adult education program for a savings of $120,000.

Maintenance budgets are also being trimmed by $108,000.

It is important to note that as part of provincial legislation, the operations budget

of the school district is separate from the capi-tal component. This means, for example, that the school district can not sell an unused school property and funnel that money into paying for a music pro-gram.

There are still some looming unknowns for the school district including current col-lective bargaining ne-gotiations between the province and the BC Teachers Federation.

“It is unknown what impact any outcomes from these processes

will have on the district, writes Olson. “While it is the hope that gov-ernment will fully fund any negotiated changes, this has not been con-firmed.”

The school trustees will have the oppor-tunity to review these budget proposals at the May 13 regular meeting before the annual bud-get bylaw is presented for approval at the June 10 regular meeting. Ol-sen’s full budget report is available for viewing not he School District #83 website at www.sd83.bc.ca.

Evacuation continues

The hazard level surrounding the McIntrye Creek channel remains extreme and the owners of seven residences under evacuation order have been given notice that they will not be allowed into the homes for at least 30 and possibly up to 60 days.

In a release issued Tuesday, Cathy Semchuk, Shuswap Emergency Program information officer says after a lengthy discussion regarding public safety, a decision was made to conduct further field and site assessments before making a determina-tion on what emergency works will be necessary to mitigate the hazard.

Heavy rain that fell on already saturated ground contributed to a mudslide, which blocked Sunny-brae Canoe Point road and damaged one residence in the McIntyre Creek area on April 23.

The Shuswap Emergency Program stresses that due to the instability of the area, the public are asked to keep clear of the incident site. However, if you are required to travel through the work site, be aware that it is a ‘no stop’ zone.

POLICE

Beat

Dial-a-dopeThe RCMP dialled their way into an arrest on Friday May 2. At 7 p.m., police, acting on information about a dial-a-dope ring operating in Salmon Arm, arranged to meet a drug dealer near the Greyhound Bus depot to purchase co-caine. Upon arrest, a 20-year-old Salmon Arm man was found to be in possession of cocaine, cash, three cell phones and brass knuckles. Appropriate charges are being forwarded to the courts.

Caught in the actPolice stopped a theft in progress and ar-rested two Kamloops men in the Salmon Arm Industrial Park at 2 a.m. on Monday, May 5. Responding to a call, police discovered two men in the process of stealing various items from local business. Criminal charges for theft are pending.

Cocaine foundAt 2:30 a.m. on May 3, police witnessed two males depart a local liquor establishment on foot. These males were then seen to be hid-ing something in the rear of the Canadian Tire building. Upon checking out the area, police located a quantity of cocaine. The men have been identified and the RCMP investigation is continuing.

Woman dies following crashRCMP investigate a two-car, head-on collision which took place Monday, May 5 at 2 p.m. in which a 65-year-old Salmon Arm woman, who was the passenger in a Ford Fusion, later died in hospital. The woman had been experiencing chest pains just prior to the collision. The Salmon Arm RCMP report the Ford was westbound on the Trans-Canada Highway. Its driver intended to turn left onto Highway 97B, but wound up turning into the path of an eastbound Toyota Camry. Both drivers sustained only minor injuries and all passengers were wearing seat-belts. The passenger in the Ford was transported to Shuswap Lake General Hospital where efforts to resuscitate her were not successful. Members of the RCMP’s Trans-Canada East Traffic Services were called in to review the collision and the investigation is ongoing.


Vandals target golf greens

Salmon Arm Golf Club and the Salmon Arm RCMP are trying to track down a vandal or vandals who sneaked onto the course during the night between April 27 and 29, and put a herbicide on some of the greens.

Head pro Doug Her-ron says the playability of the greens targeted was not affected, but they are discoloured.

Roundup is the sus-pected pesticide.

The vandals left footprints as well as indications where they entered the course, so all evidence has been passed along to RCMP.

Herron believes it was not a random act.

He asks that anyone who may have informa-tion regarding the crime contact him at 250-832-3667, or call the RCMP.

“It’s hard for reason-able people to under-stand vandalism,” he says.

Protect the gem. That was part of the

message brought by Billy Collins, a lecturer at Thompson Rivers University in the depart-ment of tourism man-agement, who authored a study on the 2013 Salmon Arm Roots and Blues Festival. He spoke enthusiastically about the event’s bene-fits at the city’s planning meeting Monday.

“You have a gem, people come from all over the region to at-tend… You should feel protective of the festi-val,” he told council.

Compiled from near-ly 1,800 on-site inter-views, plus subsequent online surveys, the study found the 2013 festival generated more than $4 million in new spending by tourists.

Of the total $4,089,296 spent by non-locals, the average amount that non-local, paying festival attend-ees each spent on-site during the festival was $497.87. Off-site they spent $528.59, com-

bining for a total of $1,026.46 each. That translated into a total of $2,788,792.60.

Non-local volunteers added an average of $807.85 each ($528.59 of that off-site) for a to-tal of $1,300,503.86.

Local attendees, both paid and volunteer, add-ed another $845,725.16 of total expenditures on-site. The combined spending by attendees, both local and non-lo-cal, was nearly $5 mil-lion on- and off-site – at $4,935,021.62.

(Off-site expendi-tures by locals were not included in the study.)

Off-site, the largest expenditures for non-local attendees were for: lodging, gas, food at grocery stores and at restaurants and shop-ping, including souve-nirs.

While attendees were fairly evenly split by gender, the majority were 45 and older.

“To me, I see that as being something to think about... Not only are they Boomers, but they’re very loyal fans...How do you attract a younger audience and

train them to become their parents?” Collins asked.

For those non-locals attending, they over-whelmingly said their destination was the fes-tival itself, Collins said. However, more than a third said they would go to a similar event else-

where. “So you are in com-

petition with other festi-vals, but they’re choos-ing you.”

He said attendees are incredibly satisfied with the event.

“They’re so satis-fied, it’s beyond believ-able...”

Coun. Ken Jamieson asked why some festi-vals fail.

Collins said often it’s the ‘build big, promot-

er approach.’ He said Salmon Arm’s success is related to how the au-dience has grown along with the festival, as has the volunteer base.

Coun. Alan Harrison asked what local gov-ernment can do to sup-port its success. Collins said public policy is important. He said B.C. should have a five-year plan, noting that the premier was “hell-bent to have the Olympics,” but benefits didn’t spill into other parts of B.C.

He recommended a two-year plan locally.

In response to Harri-son’s question and those from Couns. Denise Reimer and Chad Elia-son about recommenda-tions, Collins listed sev-eral, including running events at other times to complement Roots and Blues, such as the bike fest.

“The world doesn’t need another music fes-tival.”

He suggested data should be revisited ev-ery couple of years.

“It’s really important to know who your audi-ence is.”

He said any invest-

ment in the festival is money well spent, and emphasized the com-petitive nature of the festival industry.

“Recognize the gem. I have seen more di-sasters in the music in-dustry than successes. Period.”

A proposed tax in-centive program to at-tract and promote in-dustry will apply only to industrial properties recognized as such within the official com-munity plan.

Last week, city coun-cil gave third reading to the industrial revital-ization tax exemption program bylaw. The idea for the bylaw was

proposed by Salmon Arm Economic Devel-opment Society to give the city a competitive advantage in attracting industry, and to encour-age new development and/or expansion. EDS economic development manager Lana Fitt had encouraged the city to provide a 100 per cent exemption of the mu-nicipal portion of the property taxation on the assessed value of any new construction proj-

ect for a period of five years. Initially, the pro-gram was based on des-ignated industrial areas in the OCP. However, Fitt said she had learned of industrial properties outside of those areas that are still zoned for industrial use.

“We feel the excluded properties are currently zoned for industrial use and the property own-ers, as well as any future developers, should have the same benefit of par-

ticipating in the taxation exemption program,” said Fitt.

City administrator Carl Bannister said staff was not in favour of those properties being eligible for the program, that it “seemed counter productive to provide incentive to build an in-dustrial building where we really don’t want one.”

Among those proper-ties zoned industrial but not designated in the

OCP are local gravel pits and a neighbour-hood of nine proper-

ties near the sewage treatment plant that are zoned light industrial based on historical use, but are designated as medium density resi-dential and city centre.

Coun. Denise Re-imer made a motion to include all industrial-zoned properties, and Coun. Ken Jamieson made a motion to in-clude just the gravel pits, but neither was supported.

“I think this is our

chance, this is our op-portunity to lead indus-trial-type uses away from the waterfront,” commented Coun. Alan Harrison. “Why would we want to encourage them?”

Council also ap-proved lowering the proposed $500,000 threshold to $300,000, meaning the tax exemp-tion would be applica-ble for new construction where the value exceeds $300,000.

The Industrial Revitalization Tax Exemption Program is a tool that Council is using to encourage property investment in the Industrial Revitalization Area. Council’s objective is to stimulate and reinforce development initiatives in the Revitalization Area by promoting property investment within the “Industrial” zone and to reinforce the City’s investment in infrastructure upgrades and beautification projects.The proposed “Industrial Revitalization Tax Exemption Bylaw No. 4020” establishes general municipal property tax exemptions in respect of construction of a new improvement and alteration of an existing improvement where the alteration has a value in excess of $300,000.00 to encourage revitalization in the Industrial Revitalization Area as shown on the maps above.The maximum revitalization tax exemption under the proposed Bylaw must not exceed the increase in the assessed value of the improvements on the property between the calendar year before the new construction or the alteration of an existing improvement began and the year in which the new construction or alteration of an existing improvement is completed. The maximum term of a revitalization tax exemption is five (5) years, plus a single renewal, for a term of an additional five (5) years on a diminishing revitalization tax exemption basis.The general municipal property tax associated with a $300,000.00 increase in assessed value attributed to the construction of a new improvement or alteration of an existing improvement is approximately $3,440.00 per year (assuming a Class 6 (Business) Classification). As an example, foregone general municipal property taxes on a $300,000.00 project are as follows:Years 1 to 5: 100% of taxes @ $3,440.00 = $17,200.00 Year 6: 80% of taxes @ $3,440.00 = 2,750.00 Year 7: 60% of taxes @ $3,440.00 = 2,065.00 Year 8: 40% of taxes @ $3,440.00 = 1,375.00 Year 9: 20% of taxes @ $3,440.00 = 690.00 Year 10: 0% of taxes @ $3,440.00 = 0.00Total Foregone General Municipal Property Taxes = $24,080.00Note: This amount is $38,050.00 for a property with a Class 5 (Light Industrial) classification.The proposed Bylaw will have an expiration of five (5) years after the date of adoption.This proposed Bylaw may be inspected during office hours between 8:30 a.m. and 4:00 p.m., Monday through Friday, excluding holidays in the office of the City of Salmon Arm, 500 – 2 Avenue NE, Salmon Arm, BC.Written submissions will be received and may be directed to Carl Bannister, Chief Administrative Officer, or sent via e-mail to [email protected], or by fax to 250-803-4042, no later than 2:00 p.m., Friday, May 9, 2014.

Editorial

How many parents out there think their child is perfectly average? The B.C. school system is pin-ning its hopes that they are.

That’s because this province has eroded educa-tion funding to the point where in our school dis-trict, the school board is having to cut its operating budget by $1.8 million this year. And this builds on the past decade of continual budget reductions.

Now, a portion of that reduction in funding is due to a declining number of students in the school district; however, nearly $1.2 million of that deficit will come directly from services — things that directly impact the education of our kids.

It might be easy to point the blame at local school trustees, but they are required by law to turn in a balanced budget. The allocation of funds for the budget comes from the province .

And so, to make these cuts, the school district is considering a wide range of reductions, especially to the programs that go beyond the basics to help children who might not be your average student.

They are the kids who need speech therapy, or special learning resources, kids who might need counselling services or kids who are gifted and need additional challenges to help them reach their potential. There are cuts to music and to librarians.

Funding has been eroded and now there’s little to be spared for kids who don’t fit the mould.

So if you child isn’t average, maybe it’s time to take a stand. Write a letter to Peter Fassbender, the Minister of Education, or our own MLA Greg Kyllo.

Tell them none of our students are average and our education system shouldn’t be either.

When average isn’t good enough

Are you fine or phine?At the time I said I was fine. It turned out I was actually phine.“Phine” is a word created by the Canadian Mental Health As-

sociation, which means saying you’re fine when you are not. When I read the CMHA’s literature regarding Mental Health

Week, this made-up word resonated with me, because that’s ex-actly how I was after the birth of my twins in 2008.

I told people I was fine, but I wasn’t. Pretty soon I didn’t tell anyone I was fine because I didn’t want

to go anywhere that someone might ask, “How are you doing?”I was too afraid to answer truthfully or that if I did, I would

simply fall apart. Finally I had to admit there was something re-ally wrong. I was struggling with postpartum depression so thick it felt as though a wet, wool blanket was smothering me. I felt like I was choking and had visions of simply dropping my babies and running away to somewhere, anywhere.

I made it as far as the front steps before I sat, cried and called my doctor’s office. I couldn’t lie anymore. I was not fine.

Often people with depression try very hard to mask their feel-ings in public, putting on a brave front for fear of stigma or em-barrassment. They may try to deny anything is wrong or make excuses. I, too, must confess to this.

There is still shame associated with a mental illness, even though mood disorders like depression and anxiety affect approx-imately one in seven people at some point during their lifetime. No one would tell a cancer patient to just snap out of it. Or sug-gest that someone with diabetes would be cured if they would just take a walk, a nap or go to an exercise class. And yet that myth still persists.

On my return to work in 2009, it was a difficult decision to let the whole community in on a very personal, difficult time in my life. But I also feel strongly that in order to break a stigma, it must come out of the shadows. As a reporter, I encourage others to share their stories and I would feel hypocritical if I hid my own.

With help from medical professionals and the support of others who have been in my shoes, I was able to feel healthy again. And that is an important message for anyone out there who feels that depression or any other mental illness has come into their life. There are resources available to help.

So if you are feeling “phine” instead of fine, admit it. This week, there are some additional opportunities to take care of your mental health. For Mental Health Week in Salmon Arm, CMHA currently has information on display in the lobby of their building on Hudson Avenue. On Tuesday, May 13, there will be an open house event with guest speaker Michael Schratter speaking about his Ride Don’t Hide journey biking around the world to shatter the stigma around mental health. Salmon Arm’s own Ride Don’t Hide bike ride is occurring on Sunday, June 22.

Maintaining your mental health sometimes means seeking the help of others, especially professionals like your doctor.

Reaching out to get help isn’t a weakness. It’s a strength.

VICTORIA – The B.C. government has rolled out its ambitious overhaul of the public education system, from kindergarten to graduate school, much to the horror of its left-wing establish-ment.

The formal title is B.C.’s Skills For Jobs Blueprint: Re-engineering Educa-tion and Training. It’s designed to dove-tail with the Harper regime’s Canada Job Grant that requires employers to co-sponsor training spaces so they will hire the students at the end.

Elementary and middle school cur-riculum is being revised to increase emphasis on hands-on experience. High school and post-secondary skilled trades programs are getting more mon-ey, but it’s going to be shifted from under-performing programs that don’t lead to jobs.

Premier Christy Clark took another swipe at the bias of B.C.’s system be-fore heading to Malaysia, Singapore and Hong Kong on another liquefied natural gas sales trip. She noted that 20 per cent of B.C. students, and nearly half of aboriginal students, don’t finish high school.

“Not only are there kids who don’t graduate, there are kids who graduate, go out and get one or two credentials before they finally find their way into a skills training program,” said Clark, who had her own wander through uni-versity campuses before going into politics.

A couple of weeks ago, Simon Fra-ser University president Andrew Pet-ter downplayed the “relatively small” skilled trades shortage for B.C. industry.

“We should not be engaged in a zero-sum kind of battle for dollars,” Petter protested. That’s exactly what he and other university executives are look-ing at, and it will be based on the latest graduate employment data and labour demand forecasts.

One of the key architects of this sweeping plan is Jessica McDonald, who shook up the public service while

serving as Gordon Campbell’s deputy minister.

Her report on trades training confirms what Campbell’s critics in the labour movement have long said: the govern-ment’s 10-year experiment with the Industry Training Authority is a rudder-less mess.

“Certain partners, particularly orga-nized labour, feel marginalized,” Mc-Donald wrote. “Others, particularly em-ployers and employers’ associations, do not feel heard within the system. Over the recent past, several new directions have been introduced such as de-regula-tion of trades and modular training that have caused strain because they were not fully inclusive during development, were seen to benefit single interests, and they impacted the whole system.”

The ITA board is being replaced, with union representation restored, and advi-sory councils from industrial employers will update their hiring needs.

The B.C. Federation of Labour and the construction unions have all but abandoned the NDP after Adrian Dix’s disastrous pitch for urban anti-industry votes last year. B.C. Fed president Jim Sinclair was an early advocate for rescu-ing skilled trades from the second-class status they received in a culture fixated on university for two generations.

That culture has created glaring prob-lems. There are too many institutions offering the same courses. As with health care, block funding is handed out without any serious effort to mea-sure the results. For many students, university has become an extension of adolescence, finding one’s self through philosophy or film studies.

Employers get their share of blame from McDonald. Not only did they chop up trades training to make it cheaper to obtain, their preferred source of skilled workers has been to poach from other employers who paid to train them.

Skills-based employment data will be made public for students to make career choices. Finally, students coming out of high school will have a way to assess what they can expect after $50,000 or more is spent on higher education.

It’s about time.

BC VIEWS

Tom Fletcher Rob Ford is not the only one who has addictions. We too have been living a lie.

Let us look at the whole truth about, “Canada in the making...” King George III issued a proclamation in 1763, which in essence said that his subjects would have to come to an agreement with the indigenous people who were already living here, before settling on the land. The Niagra Treaty of 1764 created a new covenant chain between Britain and the aborigi-nal people, including the Iroquois Confederacy, the Algonquin and Huron Nations. In essence, the ab-original people were willing to share the land in ex-change for the Crown spending as much money on education, housing and health for them, as they did on the settlers. The aboriginals designed a wampum belt to symbolize the treaty agreement. This showed two nations travelling down the river of life, each not interfering with the other’s way of living.

Too soon a policy of assimilation began to show its ugly head. The British saw the aboriginals as British subjects and not equal independent nations. At about the same time, the original United States representa-tive democracy, was being designed. It was fashioned by such central authors as Benjamin Franklin and Thomas Jefferson, who drew much inspiration from this confederacy of nations. This was 100 years before John A. MacDonald and his government considered the aboriginal people to be savages, uneducated, and in need of a “Father Knows Best,” to look after them.

The Indian Act of 1876 which they concocted, is still the law of the land. Indians are still wards of the government. It is a bold-faced lie, which most Cana-dians have not yet come to grips with. If Rob Ford can admit he was living a lie, why can’t we?

Underpass vote needed

Canada’s aboriginal policy based on lies

Thanks to Duncan Morris for his letter of April 16. I share his concerns regarding the proposed underpass. Why are council and city staff pushing this? Who will profit from it – the contractors? Who are they?

There is not much business located across the tracks, the wait is not very long now, so what is the big hurry? There should at least be a referendum on this proposed costly project so the taxpayers who are footing much of the bill can either approve or disapprove. Do others feel as I do that we are being “railroaded?”

1934 The 13th Annual May Day under the auspices of the Women’s Institute was to be held this Friday. Miss Wilma Laitinen was to be Queen of the May, and Miss Dorothy Malone, the maid of honour. These young ladies were succeeding Miss June Day and Miss Nellie Webb.Two dozen shareholders of the SAFE Ltd. attended the annual meeting and elected two new directors, D.H.

1954 One of Salmon Arm’s earliest orchards disappeared, the vener-able trees being pulled from the soil of the former George Ratcliffe property. The property originally comprised 11 acres, and was formerly part of the Sunset and Dawn Ranch of the pioneer McGuire family. It was owned by Mrs. Agnes McGuire and the � rst trees were set out by her son, J.D. McGuire, prior to 1900.

LIFE & TIMES

Jacquelyne Naka-zawa knows how

hard it can be to live with depression.

But the 34-year-old discovered a program that, along with medi-cation and counselling, has helped improve her life enormously.

Nakazawa has lived with depression since she was a young teen, but it wasn’t until she was 19, and at the urg-ing of her aunt, a psy-chiatric nurse, that she sought help.

Cognitive behav-ioural therapy and a proactive approach to her condition helped but Nakazawa was still struggling.

Her mom told her about Bounce Back, a Canadian Mental Health Association pro-gram.

“I went to my fam-ily doctor and asked him about the program. I explained I needed extra support… or a change in meds,” says the wife and mother of two young children. “I

am familiar with medi-cations taking up to six weeks before there are noticeable changes. I wanted to do something else to keep my head above water.”

After her doctor put her in touch with a Bounce Back coach in Vernon, Nakazawa began communicating with her via email and telephone.

“We had an initial in-terview so she could get a sense of where I was starting, how I was feel-ing and how I was cop-

ing with life in general,” she says. “

Nakazawa then re-ceived a series of book-lets to work through, after discussing the con-cepts of each one.

“Having the book-lets and coach helped to keep me focused on getting better, and I had someone else to be ac-countable to,” she says.

Nakazawa says her coach was very knowl-edgeable and under-standing, and offered practical suggestions.

“I think this is miss-

ing when a lot of people go for help,” she says. “My coach, right from the start, helped me put my expectations into perspective. She explained it would take time for situations in my life to start improv-ing.”

Nakazawa says she found something valu-able in every book and began to notice small changes happening very quickly, especially in her moods.

“The biggest thing I probably focused on was challenging nega-tive thinking,” she says, noting letting go of some of the goals she had set for herself was dif� cult, including the belief she should go into nursing, something that would be dif� cult

with young children. “It was hard to let it

go, I had so much iden-tity wrapped up in that. But it was a relief… Now I felt free to make more of a life that suits me, and I am perfectly happy with that.”

Nakazawa says she is more aware of her nega-tive thoughts, and chal-lenges them in order to live in reality, not in the “negative hurricane that lives in her head.”

“By being able to recognize unhelpful thoughts, you can stop the process of cycling back into those negative thoughts about your-self.”

The Bounce Back program is accessible by a referral from a family physician.

A program intended to help and support at-risk youth in Salmon Arm will be coming to an end this summer unless funding can be found.

The Mandella Proj-ect, run out of the Downtown Activ-ity Centre by Aspiral Youth Partners As-sociation, is expected to finish at the end of June. It was started in 2010 with $2.2 mil-lion in federal funding through the National Crime Prevention Strategy. Despite posi-tive feedback from par-ents, the school district, the RCMP, the prov-ince and city council, Aspiral co-manager Kim Sinclair doubts the project will be able to continue.

“I continue to look for opportunities but, at this point, I realistically don’t have any options that I think are viably going to keep the pro-gram alive.”

“Mandella” is a term for dream catcher, and that, says Sinclair, is what the program does: helps young people catch their dreams and build new ones.

“Rather than focus-ing on kids who have sort of gone down the path of getting into a lot of trouble… The idea of this program was to identify kids at a much earlier age who were just struggling,” said Sinclair. “There’s any

number of reasons why they could be strug-gling. With this partic-ular project, we kind of looked at whether there were drug and alcohol issues within their en-vironment…

“The focus was, could we support them at that earlier stage to be able to make bet-ter decisions and to become more attached to things that they’re involved in – like school.”

A core group of 50 youth have gone through Mandella an-nually, and another 140 in related groups and activities.

Salmon Arm was one of several commu-nities across the coun-try to receive federal funding for a Mandella project, which was de-signed and developed in the UK. But Sinclair says the project is on the verge of extinction on both sides of the pond due to a dearth of funding.

Morag Asquith, school district’s direc-tor of instruction and student services, says she cannot imagine how Salmon Arm’s vulnerable youth and families will manage without the social/emotional support that Mandella has provid-ed, “which we know is directly correlated to criminal activity and mental health chal-lenges.”

“They would engage their clients in healthy extracurricular activi-

ties, get them to criti-cal medical or health-related appointments and supported our stu-dents inside and out-side of school time… I have seen several of our most at-risk youth in our schools become very successful with a little or a lot of inter-vention from the Man-della Project – some of the working relation-ships that have been developed for some of our students are the only positive adult re-lationship they have,” Asquith told the Ob-server via email.

For Sinclair, the suc-cess of the program is difficult to quantify given its proactive na-ture. He referred to a recent report to Salmon Arm council by RCMP Staff Sgt. Kevin Keane, who said he believed the program has had a significant impact.

“It’s very difficult to measure… about

whether or not, if that didn’t exist, would they be out there com-mitting crimes,” said Keane. “I don’t know. But I’ll be able to tell in about five years, be-cause then I’ll be able to see. And I’ll tell you right now, the rate of youth crime in Salmon Arm is comparatively low compared to other communities.”

Council, too, is con-cerned with the proj-ect coming to an end. Coun. Ken Jamieson, speaking also as an employee with School District #83, champi-oned Mandella, and said he was sorry it’s ending. Coun. Debbie Cannon, who chairs the city’s social issues committee, agreed, but emphasized it all comes down to fund-ing.

Sinclair noted an ap-plication was made to the city for grant fund-ing but was denied.

Pascal the cat has nine lives and now he’s also had his 15 minutes of fame.

Pascal, owned by Twyla Stone, was featured on Sunday’s episode of America’s Funniest Home Vid-eos playing a game of peek-a-boo.

The five-year-old fe-line was adopted from the Shuswap SPCA two years ago and is, for the most part, a pretty laid-back cat. But on the day in ques-tion, Pascal had a little fun with his owner, playing peek around a post in her living room. Stone caught the mo-ment on iPhone video.

“It was kind of cute and so I thought, ‘why not see if other people

think so,’” said Stone, who said it was easy to fill out an online appli-cation and upload her video.

A few months later, she received a call from the show’s pro-ducers, but admits she didn’t take it seriously.

“There were two calls, but I didn’t an-swer because I had no idea who would be calling me from Cali-fornia.”

After hooking up with a producer via email, Stone found out her clip had been chosen for the May 4 episode, which aired on the ABC network. Viewers who now want to catch Pascal’s famous turn can check out the scene online at afv.com or abc.go.com.

In typical cat fash-ion, Pascal remained

aloof about the whole experience, although he was more than will-

ing to pose for pho-tographs once the cat treats came out.

Government of British Columbia and Xplornet Partner to Bring Affordable High-Speed to Remote B.C. Residents.

Xplornet Communications Inc. is pleased to announce a partnership with the government of British Columbia to help bridge the urban/rural digital divide in rural and remote British Columbia.

The initiative is a multi-year program to make Internet connectivity more affordable in rural and remote areas where installation costs can be high.

The program will provide a subsidy of up to $250, or half of the cost of an installation of broadband equipment to new residential and business customers within Xplornet’s industry leading 4G rural broadband satellite footprint. This will significantly reduce the costs of installation, costs that may have been a barrier to the adoption of high-speed Internet.

“The government of British Columbia deserves significant praise for a program that helps break down one of the last barriers to full connectivity in the province – namely the high cost of broadband installation in remote parts of BC. Now, even the most remote British Columbians can affordably benefit from the transformative power of high-speed Internet to connect them to the global economy,” said Xplornet President Allison Lenehan.

Xplornet is the country’s leading rural broadband Internet provider and takes pride in connecting over 200,000 Canadians to the world. The commitment to offering every Canadian reliable, affordable and fast Internet is shared by an ever-expanding network of over 450 local dealers, including 60 in British Columbia alone.

For more information about Xplornet high-speed Internet and how you may benefit from the British Columbia Broadband Satellite Initiative, visit xplornet.com or call 855-494-1079. For complete details on the British Columbia Broadband Initiative please visit www.gov.bc.ca/bcbroadbandsatellite.

Lindsay Wong has no shortage of experi-ence to guide her in her new role.

Wong was hired last month as manager of Downtown Salmon Arm.

Prior to her move to Salmon Arm, she was most recently in Sum-merland, where she managed a busy winery restaurant.

Connecting with businesses is some-thing she enjoys.

“I have a long history in entrepreneurship myself – I like the as-pect of small business... I think I have a lot to of-fer in that regard.”

Along with a lot of entrepreneurial expe-rience in restaurants, she has also spent time in local government as well as with non-profit organizations.

Wong was a munici-pal councillor in the Kootenays and has also served with the cham-ber of commerce, both as a member and on the executive, including two terms as president.

She says her position with Downtown Salm-on Arm is a good fit.

“It’s tied all the ex-periences I’ve had into one position. Certainly management is some-thing I’ve done for a long time too... I think I’m a big picture kind of person.

Her broad experience

also involves 10 years as a fitness instructor.

Wong is still feeling things out in her new position, but says she has a pretty good grasp of where the organiza-tion wants to go.

She said she will be working to increase communications and follow through with the board’s vision.

“We have a strategic plan; I really want to make sure we get that done.”

As time goes on, she expects it will be easier for her to focus more on growing the organi-zation and serving the membership.

Wong says she and her spouse are look-ing forward to being in Salmon Arm for a long time.

“The community is fantastic,” she said, not-ing her visits to the area impressed her.

“The good feeling we got, everyone is re-ally friendly, and the proximity to nature.”

She is also impressed by the values in the community, such as

recognition of the importance of home-grown food.

It’s a made in Salm-on Arm collaboration.

Bawtree Software, a Salmon Arm-based mobile application spe-cialist, has launched BrainStar into the Ap-ple App Store.

The iPhone app, a daily activity-oriented program to improve brain fitness, was de-veloped on behalf of Salmon Arm-based cognitive trainers Dawn Benson and Hanne MacKay, who run GoldMinds Brain Fitness.

“Building brain power is like growing a thicker forest of brain cell trees and branch-es,” says Benson. “The larger your brain reserve, the more it will help you to ‘push back’ if Alzheimer’s or dementia is in your future.”

Benson has been an enthusiastic and dedi-cated teacher, school principal and district administrator. She has a degree in counselling psychology through the Adler School of Professional Psychol-ogy and a doctorate in curriculum and in-struction.

Also a dedicated and experienced educator, MacKay has explored how the brain works as it grows and changes for more than 25 years. MacKay has been cer-tified in Brain Fitness for the Aging Brain through the American Senior Fitness Asso-ciation.

The concept behind the BrainStar app grew out of Benson and MacKay’s work as cer-tified practitioners in cognitive training.

Over the years they have provided brain fitness information to thousands of eager minds.

“Brain fitness is not just for seniors,” says MacKay, “It is like any other fitness. If you can lay down the good foundations in ear-lier years, staying fit in later life is far easier — whether it’s the brain

or the body.”MacKay says Brain-

Star provides a com-prehensive program, not just games, based on current research as to how to stay at the ‘top of your game’ brainwise.

Within BrainStar, users are given a num-ber of daily exercises along with helpful tips to challenge and strengthen the brain.

BrainStar is avail-able in two versions, a free introductory ver-sion and a premium version available for download at 99 cents.

Bawtree Software CEO Hugh Bawtree described working with Benson and MacKay as being a great experi-ence that demonstrates how his company can help share their clients’ skills and expertise with the world via mo-bile technology.

“They approached us with the idea of ‘mobifying’ their brain fitness courses, and we have worked closely with them to launch a truly mobile BrainStar product,” he says.

Visit goldminds-brainfitness.ca online for an explanation of how the app works and follow the links

to download either or both of the apps.

Getting a closer look at a grebe

It’s a dream come true, of sorts.

While local natu-ralists would never hope for the untimely death of a Western Grebe, having one of the waterbirds in place among the taxidermy displays now in place at the Brighouse Nature Centre at Marine Park has been a long-time wish.

“We’ve been wanting one for 20 years,” says Tom Brighouse, for whom the nature centre is named.

When naturalist Monica Dahl spotted a lifeless bird floating in the water near the ma-rina, the hope of having a grebe available for the public to more closely peruse became a pos-sibility.

The bird was frozen and then given to taxi-dermist Richard Hill in Kamloops.

Over the winter the painstaking work was completed, including ordering a replica of the grebe’s red eye from London.

The stuffed Western Grebe, complete with its strong legs and large feet normally underwa-ter, can now be viewed at the nature centre.

Brighouse, who has

visited other centres in western Canada and the U.S., has not seen an-other one.

Regarding the pos-sible causes of death of this local grebe, it’s dif-ficult to pinpoint. Brig-house says the birds can sometimes be stabbed in the gullet when they consume fish bones. One of the precautions grebes take with their young to prevent this is to feed them down feathers.

“It’s like telling chil-dren, eat your sweater,” he smiles.

The Shuswap Natu-ralist Club site at www.shuswapnaturalists.org/grebes.htm explains that Salmon Arm Bay is the site for most of Brit-ish Columbia’s breed-ing Western Grebes.

“Every spring the grebes return in April to explore the bay. At that time the lake water levels are low. But that changes throughout May, and by mid-June the water levels gener-ally peak. Courtship, involving preening, gift giving and dancing on the water, begins in late April and may still be in progress well into June. Young grebes begin to appear around the end of June or early July, riding on the parents’ backs and swimming with them.”

The website notes the grebes can be witnessed from shore using bin-

oculars from Peter Jan-nink Nature Park, the walkway in front of the

Prestige Harbourfront Resort or at Christmas Island.

On display: Tom Brighouse shows the recently acquired taxider-my Western Grebe available for viewing at the Brighouse Nature Centre. Local naturalists have wanted such a specimen for years.

Citizens snapping up Miracle for Megan bracelets

The number of loca-tions in Salmon Arm where Miracle for Me-gan bracelets are avail-able has increased.

Along with the Salmon Arm Observer on Shuswap Street, the bracelets can be pur-chased at the Shuswap Pie Company on Alex-ander and the Salmon Arm Recreation Cen-tre.

“We are getting over-whelming response. I’ve ordered another thousand bracelets. We have people requesting them from Sicamous and Chase,” says Trac-ey Nickolson, Megan’s aunt. “We have people buying 50 of them on the spot – that’s really, really great.”

Megan Leverrier, 4, is in Toronto Sick Chil-dren’s Hospital, suffer-ing from a rare tumour attached to her liver.

She is currently awaiting a liver donor and has undergone procedures to try and reduce the size of the growth.

Many locations throughout the area are selling the $5 bracelets, which will help offset some of the expenses the family is incurring in Toronto. Her mom and dad, Michelle and Jaimie Leverrier, her little brother Gavin and her grandparents are all staying there.

Nickolson said Me-gan’s school, Sorrento Elementary, was the � rst to sell out of the bracelets.

“That’s really excit-ing,” she says, explain-ing that it’s wonderful to have all the support from the many people raising funds for Me-gan.

Current locations

where the bracelets can be purchased include, in Sorrento, Munro’s Sorrento IDA, Loo-nie on the Lake Dol-lar Store, Sorrento Elementary, Carlin Elementary Middle

School, Steamers Cof-fee House, Lighthouse Market, Shuswap Fit-ness.

Donations can also be made at the Salm-on Arm Savings and Credit Union in the

trust fund set up by the RCMP, or go to your local TD Bank and do-nate to the Leverrier Family Trust - Tran-sit: 9151 Account: 6387650.

Updates on fund-

raisers can be found at the Miracle for Megan Facebook page: www.facebook.com/megan-leverrier.

Megan underwent a procedure on Tuesday, April 29, an emboliza-

tion, to try and decrease the blood � ow going to the tumour. This was done while the family awaits a liver donor.

Michelle asked for 10 bracelets to be sent to Toronto.

“Now all the nurs-es want them,” says Nickolson. “It’s good news.”

SPORTS

Everyone loves the Salty Dog.

That seems to be true, with 700 cyclists set to compete in the 14th Annual Salty Dog com-ing up this Sunday, May 11 at the South Canoe trails.

About 500 people from ages 14 to 60-plus will be competing in the main event, the six-hour Enduro, open to solo riders or teams of two.

Another 110 young people will be testing their endurance in the U15 three-hour Enduro, while 90 children are expected in the two

Salty Pup races. Organizer Tom Peasgood of

Skookum Cycle explains that on-line registration for the six-hour Enduro went up in January and sold out in just 10 hours. Four hun-dred spots were up for grabs, with an additional 100 places for locals only. Those 100 spots sold out over Christmas.

The U15 race is also full, but the Salty Pups can drop in no later than Friday at Skookum Cycle and Ski to sign up.

The two Salty Pup events are a 30-minute and a one-hour race.

The 30-minute event on a one-ki-lometre course is for run bikes and

kids with 12- to 16-inch wheels, for ages three-plus, no training wheels.

The one-hour enduro is also on a one-kilometre course, no training wheels.

Including volunteers and sup-porters, 1,500 to 2,000 people are expected in the start-� nish area.

Why is this race so popular? “Because of our community,

people really like coming out here to ride,” says Peasgood. “They like the trails, they like the weather – a lot of Albertans are coming out and it’s been snowing there for the past three weeks straight...”

The atmosphere is important too. “It’s a fun, family-paced atmo-

sphere at the event, not intense,” he adds. “Even though there are lots of intense riders there. We try to create a fun atmosphere. That’s just been our mandate.”

Contributing to the relaxed feel are things like the prizes and me-dallions.

“We don’t hand out prizes, we had out home-baked cookies and apple pies...”

The medallions, too, are home-made, created by his daughter Thea.

“They all get made this weekend at my house. That’s the nature of the event.”

This year organizers have part-

nered with Routes and Blues (the pre-festival outreach program) and other stakeholders to offer Salty Street Fest, a day Saturday of ac-tivities, bike events and a free con-cert with festival favourites, Five Alarm Funk.

“We want to give programming for visitors and increase tourism in our community,” Peasgood says, noting that hotels and camp-grounds are booked for the race.

Peasgood predicts that, once again and as usual, it will be a weekend where fun is front and centre.

“It’s kind of like going to Grand-ma’s house to go in a race.”

Well-playedIt was TED United’s first home game, third of the season, on Tuesday, April 29 against Salmon Arm’s Kaos. The first goal of the game came from a timely pass by Emily Styles up the side lines for Kim Turner, who then crossed the ball into the 18-yard box for a header from Sue Doray to earn a 1-0 lead. Kaos kept TED United on the run with their man-to-man marking. Kaos had a beautiful shot from their sweeper, Angela Vicars, which required TED keeper, Kyla Sherman, to make a jumping save off the line. The second half of the game was played well by both teams. TED United increased their lead by a through ball pass from Tricia Martin to Sherman, who worked her magic to give TED United a 2-0 lead. TED United’s next home game will be played at Little Mountain #1 on May 13 versus Salmon Arm’s Merlot.

Senior Jewels tie Rutland

The Salmon Arm Secondary Senior Girls Soccer team had a hard-fought battle against Rutland on Tuesday, April 29, tying 2-2.

The Jewels quickly opened the scoring on a goal by Maddie Lav-ery after some beautiful passing plays.

At the half, the game was tied 1-1. SAS, once again, started the second half with strong scoring in the first min-ute of play. Kairo Mair scored after being fed a great ball from Libby Olson.

The girls finished their regular season games in Kelowna on Monday, with the first round of playoffs to start Thursday.

UndefeatedThe Shuswap Sharp

Shooters girl’s U11 de-velopment soccer team remained undefeated this weekend after a strong showing in Ver-non.

In the first game, the girls defeated a skilled Penticton team 1-0 with Jordan King scor-ing the lone goal off a well-placed strike from the right wing.

Brooklyn Davidson, Laura Hall, Holly Mc-Caskell, Lys Milne and Jannae Bocking were all outstanding on de-fense; Julia Hart and Braidy Parkes shared the shutout in goal, while Phoebe Barnes dominated the middle of the field all game long.

Alanna O’Dell, So-phia Ruckle and Gabri-ella Torrie were strong up front for Shuswap.

In the second game of the day, the Sharp Shooters played a very physical Kamloops squad to a 2-2 tie.

Milne scored first for Shuswap with a skilled one-time shot off a beautiful cross from King. Parkes scored the second goal off another cross from King in this tough game.

The Sharp Shooters play next on Sunday in Kelowna.

Jewels battle to a drawRugby: Team rallies to tie South Kamloops 29-29.

The Salmon Arm high school girls’ rugby team jumped to an early lead at South Kamloops, saw it snatched away in the sec-ond half, but rallied to tie 29-29 in an exciting game Wednesday.

Trice Tuaiti, Juli McLean and Grace Rempel zipped in to capi-talize on scoring chances made possible by relentless support in loose play from their team-mates. With Rempel’s conver-sion kick, and a lone try by the South Kamloops backline, the score was 17-5 at half-time.

There must have been a heck of a pep talk in the South Kam-loops huddle, however, as they came roaring back in the sec-ond half and pounced on every Salmon Arm mistake.

Although the Jewels pack

dominated in set scrums and most lineouts, wild offloads and contact mauls in the loose were scooped up or stripped by lurking South Kamloops attack-ers and quickly fed out to their backline.

The talented rival backs launched repeated high-speed attacks, inspiring determined tackles and chases from Olivia Plummer, Kaisha Fagrie and Amy Sandy among other Jew-els. But South Kam would not be denied and pounded in four tries during the second half, two of which were converted.

During the mayhem, Brooke Miller ran in a sideline try for the Jewels. Then rookie second row Kaylee Jameson posted a classic scrambling try between

the posts in the last five minutes of the game. Rempel converted Jameson’s marker to even the score at 29. But heat and tired-ness had worn down the Jewels, who could not muster the mo-mentum for a further try before the final whistle.

This was the last game of the Jewels’ league season, which they and SKSS finished by ranking #3 or #4 behind North Kamloops and Penticton.

The Jewels’ next game will be Wednesday, May 7, a first playoff against one of the two top-ranked teams, in which the losing team will be eliminated. The venue for that game has yet to be determined – details will be made available through SASS Rugby shortly.

Golds falter in home standThe home field

didn’t prove advanta-geous for the Salmon Arm Secondary Senior Boys Rugby squad.

This game was not going to affect Okana-gan playoffs for the Golds, causing them to come out of the starting gate a little too relaxed against Mt Boucherie.

A few missed catch-es and an unsuccessful pass completion gave

encouragement to Mt Boucherie to rise up and push a little harder to get down to SAS’ try line and get five points.

The Golds countered only minutes later with Nathan Gollan’s charge up the centre of the field, as well as Jagr Chesney’s coun-terattack punt return.

It took sitting on the Mt Boucherie’s

10-yard line for sev-eral minutes and many rucks to finally get a try by Nick Chesney.

Mt Boucherie ky-boshed the Golds’ comeback with another try by a missed tackle on Golds 40 yard line.

Retaliating for points, the Golds moved the ball well up the field with Marin Faulkner making some long-spin passes to

Hunter Lampreau that off-loaded to Bryce Hicks, who had a nice ramble up through Mt Boucherie’s defence.

Close to the Mt Boucherie try zone, Brett Barnard and Miles Brown were grinding the ball for-ward head-to-head to only have it robbed from them.

Final score was 12-5 for Mt Boucherie.

Manthers put up fight against HarlequinsThe kibosh Mens

Rugby team was up against some big and fit foreign players from Tonga, Samoa and South Africa who dominated the Pentic-ton Harlequin Rugby Team lineup.

Twelve minutes into the game, the Pentic-ton team crossed the Manthers try line. The Harlequins added more points but with only 12

minutes left in the half. The Manthers held

their ground in a proud way with some big hits by Dan Gawley, Brian Anderson and Ben Pel-let playing flank.

Scott Naylor, SAS Rugby Grad of 2002, was sporting the Har-lequin Jersey at out-side centre but more recent SAS Rugby Grads Evan Ernst, Will Walton, Jordan Goert-

zen, Ashton Fuller and Cody Stubbins did not let Naylor get any pace going with the ball.

The second half only became more intense.

Ryan Penner, Andy Brock and Pellet got up off the ground a few times, but a wee bit slower each time.

Rucking on the Har-lequin 22 yard line proved effective as Jeff “McFly” Dobson

scooped up the ball and plunged into the try zone for 5 points.

Suddenly, the Man-thers were putting the pressure on for more tries.

Breaking through the fat Harlequin backline was James Blanshard, who found enough space to find the try line.

Final score was 24-10 for the Harlequins.

CLASSIC 360 Alexanderplaying at the GRAND 100 Hudson Avenue

Thaw out with Corb LundTour: Musician to play Salmar Classic on May 11.

A couple of years ago, award-winning Alberta musician Corb Lund dealt with some hard life knocks by re-treating to a cabin about an hour outside of Ed-monton.

It was there that most of the cuts off his latest 12-track album, Cabin Fever, a record that was his highest Canadian Billboard 200 debut, hitting No. 1 in its � rst week of release.

From Goth girls to survivalists, bovines to Bibles, antique pistols to vintage motorcycles, honky-tonker Lund’s songcraft covers it all.

The Juno award-winner and seven-time Roots Artist of the Year winner at the Canadian Country Music Awards is backed by his long-time band, The Hurtin’ Albertans (guitarist/multi-instrumentalist Grant Siemens, upright bassist Kurt Ciesla, and drummer Brady Valgardson), the band recorded loose and live,

with almost no over-dubs.

Cabin Fever offers a portrait of a survivalist preparing for the apoc-alypse; a tale of a rural man losing a woman to the allure of New York City life; an ode to his

vintage BMW motor-cycles, new drinking songs, a throwback to his punk days (when he claimed member-ship in the speed-metal band The Smalls) and a desire to date in “The Gothest Girl I Can.”

Just like Lund’s sub-jects run the gamut, so do the sonics, rang-ing from rockabilly to Western swing, cowboy balladry to country-rock. And, of course, the occasional yodel.

Lund fans will have a chance to hear him when the Spring Thaw Tour stops at the Salmar Classic Theatre this Sunday, May 11 at 7:30 p.m.

Appearing with Corb Lund is Harlan Pep-per, a four-piece band hailing from Hamilton, Ont.

Their music has been described as psychedel-ic-roots, as the songs blend in� uences and styles from the past.

Tickets are $40 and are available at the Salmar Grand during regular operating hours, which are 6 to 11 p.m. every day and 1:30 to 4:30 on weekends and at the Salmar Classic every day from 7 to 9:30 p.m.

Juno winner: Corb Lund brings his Spring Thaw tour to Salmon Arm on Sunday.

Duo channel Leonard CohenFans the world over

cherish the poetry and music of Leonard Co-hen, and perhaps the most evident dedica-tion of appreciation is through playing his songs.

Covering Cohen’s works is a task not eas-ily completed due to his own unique approach to music, but victoria-based songwriters and musicians oliver swain

and Glenna Garra-mone were up for the challenge, forming the duo Tower of song.

The two share a love of the renowned Ca-nadian songwriter and possess an undeniable musical chemistry that complements their im-pressive voices and multi-instrumental tal-ents.

The result is a collec-tion of music that will

surprise and delight both music fans and Cohen fans especially. In City and In Forest was released on April 22.

The duo will perform their re-imagined cov-ers, such as swain’s live show favourite, A Thousand Kisses, and Garramone’s unique Hey That’s No Way to Say Goodbye, as well as originals of their own

that are Cohen-inspired. Joining the duo on

tour will be cellist Corbin Keep, as well as a selection of local artists who will share their own Cohen covers with audiences at many of the Tower of song shows.

The show takes place at 7:30 p.m. sunday, May 11 at the Wicked spoon. Admission is $15.

SPA NIGHT

Concert salutes grand piano

Grand Concert – Songs of Spring to benefit the local women’s shelter will play out Friday, May 9 at 7 p.m. at St. Andrew’s Presbyterian Church.

The annual concert earned its moniker from former pa-rishioner Sally Wise, who thought the church’s fabulous grand piano should be heard by a broader audience.

“People took lessons here, (opera singer) Stephanie Na-kagawa got lessons on this piano,” says Rev. Woldy Sosnowsky. “Because of the piano, they called it the grand concert and while we feature the piano always, the concert has morphed into more of a variety concert.”

The piano was made by Chickering and Sons, a Bos-ton, Mass. piano manufactur-er, and was built around the turn of the 20th century.

It came to Salmon Arm from Manitoba when its own-ers, George and Mary Wat-

son moved here in the early seventies. It was too big for their home so, in 1974, they donated it to the Presbyterian Church, which was located in the downtown are until 1981.

Mary was the church pia-nist and the piano has been rebuilt by local piano techni-cian, Deborah McCann, who has restored the sound to its original beauty.

The last concert was held in November 2012, so when An-drew Stoney became the new music director at St. Andrews, he also acquired the job of or-ganizing another grand con-cert.

“Andrew is an extraordinary pianist and has invited some of his friends – Emily Wark will play Rachmaninoff, An-drew will accompany some violinists and a cellist on works by Vivaldi and Clara Henderson will perform folk and country on accordion,” he says. Also on the program are Jim McConnell and Juanita Austin and their group Black and Blues, Olga and Igor

Aleksiienko, who will per-form Ukrainian folk tunes, tenor Richard Good, who will sing a number of show tunes and classical guitarist Jona-than Stutchberry.

“The performers will pres-ent their gifts free of charge in recognition of what the

women’s shelter does,” says Sosnowsky, who will act as MC for the concert. “We look forward to a very exciting evening of music.”

Admission is by donation and tax receipts will be avail-able for donations of $10 or more.

Songs of Spring: Event Friday at St. Andrews Presbyterian.

Band celebrates 18 years of musicDust off those win-

ter doldrums with the Salmon Arm Commu-nity Band as members celebrate 18 years of making music together.

The inter-generation-al group of musicians is putting the finishing touches to a delightful lineup of mixed rep-ertoire for the annual Spring Band concert to be held at 7:30 p.m. Saturday, May 10 at the First United Church.

This concert lineup features refreshing contemporary selec-tions ranging from a medley of Andrew Lloyd Weber’s Phan-tom of the Opera, to the breathtaking Parade of the Tall Ships donated by trumpet player, Ro-salyn MacGregor.

Heartfelt romantic period works such as Edward Grieg’s Peer Gynt Suite and Offen-bach’s Orpheus in the Underworld to timeless hits as Big Band Boo-gie and Indiana Jones will round out the pro-gram.

Sharing the podium

is Cees Kooyman, who has conducted since the band’s inception in 1996 and brings a wealth of conducting experience prior to im-migrating to Canada from Holland, and Jim

Johnston, who is well-known in the Shuswap for his stellar ‘jazz hat’ and previous in-volvement in music education since 1980 throughout the Shus-wap School District.

Admission is by do-nation and the doors open at 7 p.m.

Stay afterwards and enjoy the refreshments and a chance to meet and mingle with the musicians.

With the announce-ment that Colin Mayes will not seek re-election, the North Okanagan-Shuswap Conservative Associa-tion (NOSCA) will be actively seeking out nominees for the Con-servative Party of Can-ada candidate position for the 2015 federal election.

Mayes received a

standing ovation in thanks for his nearly 10 years of representa-tion of the Okanagan Shuswap riding at their recent annual general meeting.

While announcing his retirement from federal politics, Mayes also pledged to com-plete his term with the same energy he has always brought to rep-

resenting the people of this riding.

Incoming Electoral District Association (EDA) President Linda Hawes stated, “Colin will be leaving be-hind rather large shoes to � ll, but our newly elected board will be actively seeking a Con-servative candidate worthy of following in his footsteps, perhaps

as early as the fall of this year.”

The local EDA board will be meeting again in May and will deter-mine the candidate se-lection process in con-junction with federal party coordinators.

Conservatives begin candidate search

Robert Babakaiff of Arro Wood Heat Services has been in business for 6 years. A 45+ year resident of Salmon Arm, he believes in buying his products locally.

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

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

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

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

Someone so dearly loved, so popular with his friends. We should not cry forever,

for this is not the end. His memory lives

but one day, we all must die. I hear his voice within me, and his funny little laugh.

So many things remind me, of times that are now

gone past. Love, Dad and family

Make room for some relaxationIt’s a well-known

fact that mothers who devote them-selves wholeheart-edly to their families often end up for-getting about them-selves. So, give your loving mother the chance to recharge her batteries by of-fering her some time at a spa or beauty clinic. It’s a great gift for the person who is always showering you with love!

If there’s a woman who knows you bet-ter than anyone else in the world, it has to be your mother. Now it’s your turn to give her a person-alized gift that you know she’ll love. A massage, manicure, or facial done by pro-fessionals has spe-cial meaning when offered as a gift by a loved one. While your mom is being tho roughly pampe-

red, she’ll be even hap pier knowing that the experience was a gift from you.

A bit of research will help you make sure she enjoys this treat. Some spas and well-being centres clearly advertise their specialties. For example, if your mother suffers with arthritis, she’ll ap-

preciate thermal pool treatments or a massage with hot stones. Or, if she loves a bit of sparkle and glam, she’ll en-joy a facial and man-icure. If you can’t

make up your mind about the right kind of spa, you might want to ask family and friends for rec-ommendations.

When it comes time to pamper

Mom, body and soul, it’s important to give her an opportuni-ty for total relax-ation. Help her have a soothing day in peaceful surround-

ings, far from her daily routine, where she can allow her thoughts to drift gen-tly — and appreciate the thoughtfulness of your gift!

Pamper your mom this Mother’s Day with a session at the spa.
