Alleged bullying prompts lawsuit

A Salmon Arm woman is suing School District #83 in small claims court, seeking damages for lost wag-es after she says bullying forced her to pull her son from public school and home school him instead.

Leanne McIvor has fi led docu-ments in Salmon Arm court alleging the school district breached a duty of care by failing to protect her son from bullying and harassment.

She also alleges the school district is liable by failing to adopt, enforce and update school policies on bul-lying, harassment and human rights conditions after a provincial ministe-rial order regarding human rights was issued to all school districts in 2007.

In a statement submitted by McIvor to the courts and media, she says her efforts to resolve the situation with

school administration and trustees have been unsatisfactory.

“I have turned to litigation,” she writes, “just because my child and 300,000 children per month that re-port bullying in Canadian schools are not being heard.”

“You hear so much talking in the media and the current culture of zero tolerance and bullying. It would seem that the schools have this under con-trol. They don’t.”

School District #83 would not comment on this specifi c case as it is before the courts, but Glen Borthis-tle, acting superintendent, says the school district takes bullying serious-ly and has policies to deal with it at the school board level, as well as with many ongoing district and school programs for students and staff.

SABNES supports leaving the beavers

By Tracy HughesOBSERVER STAFF

Hands off the beavers. SABNES, the Salmon Arm Bay

Nature Enhancement Society, is quite clear about what should be done with the beavers living along the foreshore trail.

The busy rodents should be left alone, says Ed Dahl, vice-president of SABNES.

At the Oct. 22 meeting of Salmon Arm council, city staff asked for council’s direction regarding the ani-mals after the city received four com-plaints about their chomping down of trees near Christmas Island.

Coun. Ken Jamieson, council’s representative on SABNES, said he was told SABNES members had mixed opinions on what should be done with the beavers, and were go-ing to leave it up to council. How-ever, he said, as they are stewards of the area, he would ask them for a recommendation.

Dahl told the Observer Monday that SABNES executive members are in complete agreement that the beavers should be left as they are, and SABNES was not going to leave the decision up to council because they knew the city had allowed the

Beat

Medical emergencyA missing trucker is now in stable condition in hospital after he was found by Salmon Arm and Sicamous RCMP members on Oct. 24.At 12:38 p.m., local police were informed that a truck driver, with a pre-existing medical condi-tion, had not arrived in Calgary as expected. The truck’s GPS was tracked to the Salmon Arm area, so RCMP were dispatched to help locate it. Police found the man unconscious behind the wheel of his truck, which had been pulled over to the side of the Trans-Canada Highway between Salmon Arm and Sicamous. With the assistance of the Eagle Valley Rescue Society, they were able to extricate the driver from inside the vehicle for transport to hospital.

Arrest times twoA man was arrested twice in one day after a do-mestic dispute at a residence on Eighth Avenue SW on Oct. 28. Police were called at 4:20 a.m. and arrested a 38-year-old man for assault. He was taken to the RCMP detachment and held in cells until morning, when he was released on a variety of conditions. Immediately upon his re-lease he breached those conditions by returning to the residence, which resulted in the second arrest. He is now being held in custody and charges of assault, uttering threats and breach of an undertaking have been recommended.

Bear alertA bear has been sighted for several consecutive days wandering around the southeast portion of the city, mainly around Okanagan Avenue between 30th Street SE and 20th Street SE. The bear was also noted in the area of 11th Street SE. Police are reminding the public not to approach the bear or confront it. Citizens should also keep garbage and food in a secure area, where the bear can not access it.

Halloween safetySalmon Arm RCMP were kept busy over the weekend responding to numerous noise and liquor complaints. They are also reminding the public to be cautious during the Halloween events today and tonight. Parents should try to ensure trick-or-treaters are highly visible, with fl ashlights or glow sticks.

under the umbrella of student safety and wellness, has a multi-faceted approach to this complex issue by raising awareness of the bullying issue encour-aging prevention as well as intervention programs. The wellness umbrella helps the district deal with the underlying causes of bullying and helps stu-dents learn about building positive relationships, and about the importance of mental health and physical wellness.”

McIvor is seeking compensation for lost wages, saying she has been unable to gain employment, “due to the fact that I have to home school my son since 2009-2012, this has not been a choice but a necessity to ensure the well-being of my son.”

None of the allegations have been proven in court.

The case is scheduled to be heard in Salmon Arm on Jan. 25.

Sudden death probed

District has anti-bullying programsContinued from front

RCMP are investi-gating after a 43-year-old woman was found dead in her bed on Oct. 28.

Police were called to the Black Road resi-dence on the outskirts of Salmon Arm where the woman was found unresponsive, but with no visible signs of in-jury.

Police tape blocked access to the scene of the woman’s death to preserve potential evi-dence should the cause of death turn out to be suspicious.

An autopsy is sched-uled for Tuesday, Oct. 30, but results were not available at press time. Toxicology tests are also being conducted.

Spunk sparks TV spot

She may be proud of being chosen for a Telus television commercial, but a fi lm career is not included in 14-year-old Maggie Manning’s plans.

The Salmon Arm teen is very determined that she will become a pediatric orthopedic surgeon.

Maggie is well-ac-quainted with the fi eld and the inner workings of children’s hospitals, as are her parents Sally and Frank.

Twelve years ago, doctors diagnosed the then two-year-old with bilateral developmental hip dysplasia, a condi-tion in which the hip sockets are not fully formed. Since then, Maggie has endured eight surgeries, with the next one coming up in November.

In her life, a trip to Children’s Hospital in Vancouver is a chance to check in with special friends like her physical therapist and child life specialist.

It is the latter who has provided the irrepress-ible teen with things to do while she’s in hospi-tal, and broadened her horizons to include at least 50 new friends.

Maggie’s in-hospital life has been broadened by Upopolis, a private social utility that con-nects young hospital patients to their fami-lies, friends and school network.

Kids can build a blog, learn kid-friendly in-formation about their conditions, play games, email, and share expe-riences by connecting with others who are in hospital as well.

This connection is provided by Telus in partnership with Kids’ Health Links Founda-tion, and Toshiba who provides the computers and sets them up with the secure settings.

Not all Maggie’s roads lead to hospital.

As well as less tax-ing activities like play-ing violin and piano, or interacting with her

two pet rats, the self-described competitive teen also plays ringette, volleyball, basketball and badminton and is a member of the Me to We club at Shuswap Middle School.

She and her father completed the recent 35-kilometre Ride For Life, biking to Silver Creek and back.

“I thought she would be a bookish girl, who would like to do crafts,” laughs Sally.

Despite repeated months locked within a body cast that extended from chest to ankle on one side and chest to knee on the other, Mag-gie never stayed in one place too long.

“She learned how to run in that body cast,” says Frank. “Totally amazing!”

Randall Peters, senior producer at Telus Stu-dios is also impressed.

“We ran into Maggie and kinda fell in love with her; she’s a spunky, funny, lovely young lady,” says Peters. “We just saw a young girl overcoming obstacles, with real leadership qualities.”

Peters uses a Telus slogan to describe the country’s future with people like Maggie in the wings – “The future really is friendly.”

Maggie has already appeared in a smaller fi lm, shot entirely in Salmon Arm.

But Peters says Telus was interested in doing a full-blown commercial to make people aware of the corporation’s com-munity involvement.

“We took her to To-ronto to meet a young lady of about 18 who had mentored her,” he said of a seriously ill young woman by whom Maggie was be-friended four years ago. “We thought it would be cool for them to meet and talk, and to show about the power of the connection.”

Provided primarily in major children’s hospi-tals across the country, Peters says Telus wants to expand the service but notes it take a size-able commitment on the part of the hospital.

The Manning family

has high praise for Chil-dren’s Hospital, where Maggie’s next surgery is scheduled.

The family has been told recovery will be between four to eight weeks. With her usual optimism, Maggie is planning to be back in the ringette game in January.

Connection: A safe social network allows patients in children’s hospitals to reach out to each other and share their experiences.

beavers to be trapped in the past.Regarding the trees removed by city staff, Dahl

said although it would seem to be a reasonable thing to do, “it must be kept in mind that the area is a wildlife refuge and the trees were at least part of the beavers’ winter food supply until the trees were removed... Now the beavers will no doubt be obliged to remove additional trees to satisfy their food requirements, thus compounding the situa-tion regarding preserving the remaining trees.”

As for the danger of trees that get snagged, he said they could be cut down for safety’s sake and then left at or near the pond where the beavers can get the bark and young wood.

SABNES previously wrapped some of the trees at the foreshore with wire, Dahl said, and could do more if they decide it’s necessary.

Dahl also pointed to B.C. Ministry of Environ-ment regulations that deem it an offence if a per-son disturbs or destroys a beaver house, den or dam without a permit.

Rob Niewenhuizen, the city’s director of engi-neering and public works, had told council at the Oct. 22 meeting that city staff recently cleaned up after the beavers because they had left a couple of snags.

He said wildlife regulations allow beavers to be trapped and disposed of, or trapped and moved a maximum of 500 metres from their current home.

“Beavers from that area will migrate. It’s either dealing with it or suffering the consequences of losing trees in that area,” he said.

Couns. Alan Harrison and Marg Kentel were ab-sent from the meeting, but of those present, Coun. Chad Eliason was alone in recommending that the beavers be trapped.

Chances are, if you walked into any home in Salmon Arm at dinner time, you’d hear English being spoken.

Information released Wednesday from the 2011 census shows English is by far the dominant mother tongue here, unchanged from the last cen-sus in 2006.

In 2011, 97.8 per cent of Salmon Arm’s popula-tion spoke only English most often at home, 0.2 per cent spoke only French and 1.4 per cent spoke a non-offi cial language.

English is also the mother tongue of the vast majority of residents with 15,835 people out of the 17,400 residents claiming English as their fi rst language. French is the mother tongue of 190 peo-ple, while 1,245 Salmon Arm residents list a non-offi cial language. In Salmon Arm the three most common mother tongues were German (three per cent) Dutch (0.9 per cent) and Ukrainian (0.5 per cent).

In comparison, the most common other mother tongues at the provincial level were Punjabi, Can-tonese and Chinese (non-specifi ed).

Mother tongue is defi ned by Statistics Canada as the fi rst language learned at home during child-hood and still understood.

As far as offi cial bilingualism goes, 16,235 of Salmon Arm’s 17,400 respondents speak only English, while 1,130 speak both English and French. No one in the census count claimed to speak only French, while 30 people spoke neither English nor French.

OPINION

SALMON ARM OBSERVER

Editorial

In 1988, a far-reaching trade agreement was con-sidered an important enough issue to base an elec-tion on it. Not so anymore.

It was in 1988 that Brian Mulroney of the ruling Progressive Conservative Party called an election, in part, because of the Free Trade Agreement pro-posed for Canada and the U.S. The election was dubbed by some as the Free Trade Election, with the agreement being the dominant issue.

In 2012, another controversial trade agreement is in the making, set to be signed today, Oct. 31. This time, the public doesn’t get a say. The Canada China Foreign Investment Promotion and Protec-tion Act (FIPA) is expected to be ratified today, without public discussion of this 31-year deal.

According to a Toronto law professor who spe-cializes in international investment law, and others

who have studied and oppose the agreement, the deal allows Chinese firms to sue in special tribu-nals to protect themselves from Canadian govern-ment decisions, whether they be municipal, pro-vincial or federal. The same is true for Canadian companies in China. However, no Canadian com-panies nor governments will be able to sue a Chi-nese investor for breaking laws – whether they be environmental, labour-related or other. And, in a new and particularly disturbing twist, the Chinese lawsuits can be kept secret.

With the increasing investment in Canada by China, and the environmental concerns around major projects, Canadians deserve better than this cynical approach to democracy. At the very least, the public has a right to hear details of this agree-ment before it’s set in stone for three decades.

Democracy falters under FIPA

Rick ProznickPUBLISHER

Time change falls fl atMany of us will rejoice at the idea of getting that extra hour

of sleep this Sunday, Nov. 4 as we make the annual “fall back” adjustment to our clocks.

Those people are not the parents of young children. I get the reasoning behind the change. Daylight saving time

decreases the duration of daylight we experience in the early morning hours and increases the amount of daylight available in the evening, when most of us are awake.

In Canada, it’s up to each province to decide whether to use daylight time, and not all do. Most — but not all — jurisdictions in Canada and the U.S. have been moving their clocks ahead by one hour on the second Sunday in March and back by one hour on the fi rst Sunday in November.

Most of Saskatchewan has not observed daylight time since 1966 and stays on central standard time all year round. Some border towns follow the time schemes of their neighbours in Manitoba or Alberta.

Legislation in the United States in 2007 moved the start of daylight time three weeks earlier in the spring and the return to standard time a week later in the fall. Canada quickly followed suit, saying it was critical to remain at the same time as our neighbours to the south.

But this time change is essentially a massive experiment in jet lag, as your body clocks must reset to a time that’s one hour earlier than you’re used to

While the “fall back” might be a bit easier than the “spring for-ward” adjustment, messing with kids’ sleep schedules has never had good outcomes at our house. It’s pretty much a guarantee of a full dose of grumpy, liberally sprinkled with whining.

This is because, unlike with grown ups, spending an extra hour in repose simply doesn’t happen. At least with my kids, those internal alarm clocks are one of the most powerful forces in nature. To my oldest daughter, sleeping in means she’s wo-ken at 6:05 a.m. instead of at the stroke of six. Add to this the fact that snuggling under the covers for an extra hour is not a pleasure, but just plain old boring to them and it’s a recipe for displeasure.

So slyly trying to convince her that even though her clock says 5 a.m., she needs to stay in bed until the clock says 6 a.m. (when her body knows this isn’t so) is a huge challenge in pa-tience.

Then you face the evening horror show with two choices; you put them to bed when they are tired at their normal time, know-ing that you will have the same battle with keeping them in bed the next morning. Or, you can try to keep the tired eyes from closing until an hour later in the faint hope that this will help re-set their internal clock to sleep an hour longer. (Sorry to say, we’ve had limited success with both methods.)

So while many of you will enjoy pulling the covers over your head for an extra hour, give a moment’s pity to all the bleary-eyed moms and dads who curse the time change.

FOR WHAT IT’S WORTH

Tracy Hughes

A6 www.saobserver.net Wednesday, October 31, 2012 Salmon Arm Observer

VIEW POINTThe Observer asked:

Cindy Byers“Leave them alone.”

Gordon Askew“Maybe they could trying moving some of them somewhere else ... but it would have to be in the spring.”

Larry Pilcher“Leave them alone and let nature take its course.”

Lee Rawn“Just leave them alone. After all, it is a nature sanctuary.”

Ron Clark“Leave them alone and let them stay where they are.”

What do you think should be done about the beavers at the foreshore?

With regard to the plight of the beavers on Christmas Island, one would hope that the “snags” and accompanying problems they are causing could be managed so that we can preserve them in their present natural habitat.

Are there not enough species on the verge of, or already extinct, due to the encroach-ment of human development that causes de-struction of fl ora and fauna?

The lakeshore trail is a beautiful place to

observe the latter and should be preserved as such.

Personally, I would rather see a beaver while out for a walk, going about its daily chores in its quiet and studious manner, than an example of wanton vandalism that seems to be occurring much too frequently.

Surely it is the two-legged species that are causing the real vandalism to the city and sur-rounds and should be caught and dealt with

appropriately, not the beavers.I once read a quote by a native elder,

“Where there are no more creatures left in the world, man will die of loneliness of spirit.”

In Latin the word “spiritus” means “di-vine breath” or “inspiration,” and in Hebrew “spirit” is also equated with “breath.” Words to ponder upon n’est-ce pas?

Linda Irvine

The Canada-China FIPA treaty contains extreme measures that will affect Canadians for a long time. Surely this trade deal must be exposed for what it is so that Canadian citizens can take action to oppose it if they disagree with its provisions. If the Canada-

China FIPA passes, it will pave the way for China’s massive companies to spend billions buying out Canada’s natural resource compa-nies without a single debate or vote. Under FIPA, China’s companies can sue Canadian governments, federal, provincial or munici-

pal, in secret tribunals outside the Canadian court system if those governments do any-thing that would limit the companies’ profi ts in Canada.

Theodore McAlister

It is odd to hear the BC Liberals state that they are the voice of fi scal reason here, con-trary to the NDP, and that they can be trusted in contrast to “risky Dix.”

This is spite of an overwhelming raft of ev-idence that points a fi nger at the BC Liberals and their open-pocket policy to government ministry bureaucrats and insiders. All one has to do is go back and look at policies that have cost our province by direct action and by an indecisive, fumbling premier that has again and again mishandled situations not only within our province but on a national and in-ternational scale.

I will point to the HST boondoggle. Look at how long it is taking to re-introduce the PST and GST formula. This procrastination has had a deleterious effect on our ability to rebound. Not only this, we now have a sub-stantial debt to pay off on top of staggering deferred debt payments (debt that the taxpay-er will be held accountable for). Then one can look at the carbon tax, a multi-million dollar shell game that rewards corporate friends and insiders at the cost of all British Columbians. The cost of the BC Stadium roof debacle, the fact the taxpayers funded Basi and Virk’s legal costs, the costs of CLBC executive

salaries and other ministry positions that had substantial increases while asking the average British Columbians to expect less. We are sys-tematically being told that the programs the Liberals are funding are part of their “Fami-lies fi rst” agenda. Whose family would that be? Many programs in British Columbia have been cut, yet our spending has increased. The BC Liberals are spinning numbers and are desperate to have the taxpayers believe that they are fi scally prudent. The evidence points to the contrary.

Our democracy is going down the tube in Canada as best evidenced by the fact that the polls show two-thirds of Canadians are pro-gressive, yet we are now being ruled with an iron fi st by the Conservatives.

Our elected representatives do not represent their constituents, but rather vote along party lines. Power in Canada is now concentrated in the Prime Minister’s offi ce and most decisions benefi t the corporations and the one per cent, to the detriment of most Canadians. Whether it is more prisons, jet fi ghters, pipelines, gut-

ting of environmental laws or omnibus bills, the Conservative government is destroying the Canada we once cherished. And now they are giving away our sovereignty by signing a trade deal with China, that will allow this thoroughly undemocratic country to sue any level of government that blocks its ability to utilize our resources. There are solutions pos-sible, but only if we have an electoral system that ensures that each MP is elected with more than 50 per cent of the votes through a run-off election. In order to make sure that the major-

ity of Canadians are represented, the two ma-jor progressive parties will have to co-operate so that either one of them, or a coalition of the two, form government in 2015. And to fi x the problem of voter apathy we need to make vot-ing mandatory as is done in Australia. More Canadians need to wake up and stand strong to help bring democracy back by opposing the Harper government’s assault on the envi-ronment and our rights and freedoms.

I returned to live in Salmon Arm a few months ago and have been enjoy-ing walks on the foreshore trail several times a week, and was thrilled to see the beaver activity. What a wonderful nature experience and educational opportunity for children and adults alike.

Now I read in the Salmon Arm Ob-server that there is a movement afoot to “get rid of” the beavers. I think council needs some education on this issue. In addition to being an educational oppor-tunity for everyone, the beavers are there for a reason, usually because of the abun-dance of food and suitable habitat. If the beavers are trapped and killed, more bea-vers will move in the following year. It has been proven that municipalities have less beaver related problems when the existing colonies are properly managed rather than removed.

By removing the beavers, the city would not be protecting their citizens from problems related to “logging” by the beavers as it is the trees that are the safety issue. Wrapping the trees in wire mesh is often enough to discourage the beavers. I saw no evidence of this being done in the area of the trail that the bea-vers are using. It is also a very small area. It’s not as if the beavers are clearcutting the area as their human counterparts usu-ally do. It’s more like “selective” log-ging.

In closing, I would like to say how very disappointed I am with Coun. Chad Eliason’s remarks on the subject and his use of the phrase “nuisance animals.” Personally, I would apply that descrip-tion to humans judging by the way we have “managed” our environment. I’m with John McLeod who took the part of the beavers in suggesting that “a council-lor” should be relocated.

A cancer diagnosis can instill fear and a sense aloneness.

But a support group that meets at the Ca-nadian Cancer Society every month can help alleviate those and oth-er concerns for women with cancer and care-givers.

“The group provides a safe place, a place where everything that’s being said is confi den-tial, where people un-derstand what others are going through, express concerns and help each other with their sugges-tions,” says facilitator Tovie Green. “For care-givers, it’s a place to express their issues and get feedback.”

Oftentimes, what arises is not so much about the disease, but about what’s going on in their lives at an emotional and sensitive time, says Green.

The group meets for anywhere from one to two-and-a-half hours depending on atten-dance, and includes a cup of tea and a snack, providing a social as-pect as well.

Housed in the back room are a number of wigs and prosthe-ses available to help women deal with the physical aspects of the disease.

“This is a huge ser-vice the Canadian Can-cer Society provides,” says Green.

“Wigs, bras and pros-thetics are available by donation, but if mon-ey’s an issue, people can have it anyway.”

The group is always open, with a very sim-ple format, and mem-bers are encouraged to come and go as they need.

“Some people have been attending for more than 15 years,” she says. “Someone else might come once and not come back because that’s all they needed.”

Green, who obtained initial training through the Canadian Cancer Society, is a certifi ed life coach.

The group meets on the fi rst Monday of the month at noon, but Green suggests people call fi rst to make sure there are no changes.

For more informa-tion, call the Canadian Cancer Society at 250-833-4334.

Style: Volunteer Tovie Green helps fi t one of the wigs available through the local Canadian Cancer Society offi ce.

“British Columbia has a ready source of great jobs and careers in technology. Our edu-cation programs need to keep up with that de-mand.”

John Leech, Execu-tive Director of the Ap-plied Science Technolo-gists and Technicians of BC, explains that, “Every system we rely on – water, roads and transportation, telecom-munications and Inter-net, hydro and natu-ral gas, environment, health, forestry, and many more – utilizes engineering and applied science technology pro-fessionals working in the background. BC’s telecom and IT, anima-tion and many other sectors produce new ca-reers every month.”

ASTTBC has more than 10,000 members currently working in thousands of careers available to graduates of two-year diploma programs available at the British Columbia Institute of Technology and other B.C. colleges

and institutes.“Our members enjoy

rewarding, well-paid and often recession-proof careers in public service and the private sector alike,” Leech states.

“For huge numbers of young men and women, technology is the an-swer. In B.C. and across Canada, technology permeates every work-place and job. We need to get capable students involved and engaged in applied sciences and head off workforce shortages by building a B.C. ‘Science and Tech-nology Culture’.”

In Salmon Arm, Okanagan College is responding to the need

for offi ce workers to keep up with the latest in technology through its offi ce administration courses.

“People already in an offi ce environment are fi nding their skills are getting outdated, so they are coming to us to upgrade those skills and they can do it right here in their own com-muntiy,” says Carmen Burt, offi ce adminstra-tion instructor. “People are aware of the need to stay current with tech-nology.”

Leech calls on gov-ernment for renewed efforts to build student skills and confi dence in math and science.

“We especially need to interest young stu-dents in science and how things work,” Leech says. “Young students use technology every day – smart phones, iPads and computers. They play video games, even build robots.”

Leech lauds the re-cent “Year of Science” program that encour-aged students toward

so-called “STEM” sub-jects – science, technol-ogy, engineering and math. Citing the recent $6 million B.C. cam-paign to encourage ca-reers in trades, Leech urges a similar effort to build awareness of en-gineering careers.

Even the Canadian Council of Chief Execu-tives expressed concern that only 37 per cent of 16- to 18-year-olds were interested in taking even one post-secondary course in sciences, ac-cording to a recent An-gus Reid survey.

Leech says the op-portunities for those seeking work in the technology fi eld are considerable given a wave of retirements of present-generation B.C. technology profession-als that is already un-derway.

“Half of our member-ship is now middle-aged at 45-plus, and 22 per cent are over age 55!” he says. “Every region of B.C. shows growing demand,” Leech con-cludes.

It’s Halloween time again, and many par-ents worry about the mountains of candy their children bring home.

Should you set lim-its? Let children decide for themselves how much to eat?

There isn’t just one right answer. Often us-ing your judgment with what you know about your child’s personal-ity and eating habits is best.

If your family eats sensibly during the rest of the year, a few days of overindulgence will be okay.

That being said, many children bring home enough candy to supply daily treats until Christmas. So what are some ideas to deal with the candy?

De-emphasize candy by reducing trick-or-treat time. There are many fun things about Halloween besides the candy. Invite friends over for a “dressing up party,” have a Hallow-een-themed dinner and only trick-or-treat at friends’ houses.

Make it more about the occasion than the candy. Spend more time socializing, deco-rating, costuming and taking photos and less time accumulating candy.

Trick or Treat on a full stomach. Have your children eat a meal be-fore trick-or-treating. This will minimize the amount of candy they eat during and after trick-or-treating.

Trade candy for cash. If you feel strongly about not wanting your child to have too much candy, some par-ents offer to “buy” the candy back from their children. For older children, this acknowl-edges that the candy belongs to the child, but that they can choose to use the money to buy something else more desirable, like a toy.

Make rules for can-dy. For younger chil-dren who don’t wish

to give up their candy, setting limits can be a

good idea, especially if they are the type to eat it all at once.

Allow children to choose a piece or two after supper or in their lunch. Throw away candies that they don’t

really enjoy. After a few days or

a week, declare Hal-loween over and throw away any remaining candy.

Store candy out of sight, so that they are

not constantly thinking about it.

The new Canadian Tire store at the Mall at Piccadilly will be more than double the size of the current one.

General manager Glenn Breugom, who took over from Justin Mondor who’s now managing the store in Kamloops, says the new store will be 50,000 square feet, compared to the current 20,000.

“It’ll be beautiful,” he says. “Low aisles in the front..., bright lighting, illuminated shelves in certain areas. We’re try-ing to make sure there’s enough space in the aisles so it’s not so tight and cramped.”

Breugom was the district manager for Canadian Tire previous to his current position, so he has been part of the project since the beginning. He predicts a spring opening, al-though he says it will be dependent on construc-

tion and a number of other variables.

“We’re looking tenta-tively for a late March soft opening and an early May grand open-ing, but it’s still uncon-fi rmed.”

He’s hoping the changeover will be seamless, with the old store closing a little ear-lier on a Saturday and the new one opening on a Monday.

An 8100-square-foot

Mark’s Work Wear-house will be located inside the Canadian Tire store.

“You walk into Ca-nadian Tire from the mall and enter Mark’s from there,” Breugom explains.

As for stock in the new Canadian Tire, he said it will carry a full line.

About 100 to 120 staff will be employed at the store, an increase

over the current level.“We are going to be

hiring sometime before we get possession of the building,” he said, which will depend on how construction pro-ceeds.

As for the old build-ing, he’s not sure of its fate.

“Once we decommis-sion and leave it, it will be up to Canadian Tire real estate what they do.”

Canadian Tire to open in spring

Renovations: The former Zellers store site at the Mall at Picca-dilly is currently undergoing construction to make way for Cana-dian Tire, scheduled to open in the spring.

Dani Konrad, with the Salmon Arm Sockeyes as a member and coach since 1995, was just named recipient of the 2012 British Columbia Summer Swimming Team Aquatics Coach of the Year

award.The an-

n o u n c e m e n t from BCSSA stated that “the Team Aquatic Supplies Coach of the Year award is given to the coach of a swimmer who has broken a provincial re-cord and whose team has the highest number of points per athlete. With multiple provin-

cial records broken at the 2012 Provincials, this method was the simplest way of determining the strength of the entire team versus a single high-performing athlete.”

Konrad led the Sockeyes to their fi rst Okanagan Regional Championships in 50 years in 2011 and then repeated at Regional Champions in 2012.

In the past three years as coach, it’s been the fi rst time the Sockeyes have made top 10 provin-cially – third in medal count – and she has kept the team in the top 10 for three consecutive years.

Asked about the award, Konrad wrote in an email that it refl ects well on an excellent team.

“This award doesn’t only refl ect on my coach-ing abilities, but the Sockeyes organization as a

SPORTSThough they picked up

two of a possible four points last weekend, a mental lapse at the start of the second game cost the Salmon Arm SilverBacks a chance for an even better outcome.

The thrill of a 2-1 overtime road win over the Vernon Vi-pers was followed by some-thing of a letdown at the start of the next game against the Trail Smoke Eaters and a 5-2 loss at home was the result.

“Against Trail, we lost our structure for a period of time and it cost us the hockey game,” said ’Backs head coach Scott Robinson. “It was like two different teams; we came off a big high of a win on the road in Vernon and forgot what made us success-ful. We got behind and Trail played a good road game, kept it simple and made the lead stand up.”

Goals by Luke Sandler and Connor Collett put the Smokies up 2-0 before the game was seven minutes old. Harlan Orr replied for the Gorillas but that was as close as the game ever got. Brent Baltus, with his fi rst of two, put the visitors back up a pair shortly after Orr’s goal.

Robinson did like the re-sponse of his team in the sec-ond and third periods as they outshot Trail 23-13 in that span, but former SilverBacks

affi liate player Lyndon Stan-wood stood his ground in the Smokies’ crease.

“Other than the start, the rest of the game I felt like we controlled the issue,” said Robinson. “We all know the percentages of teams scor-ing fi rst going on to win the game. And Stanwood was very good in net for them too.”

On Friday at Wesbild Cen-tre in Vernon, Adam Tambel-lini put the home side up with a power-play goal in the fi rst, but Brandon Mistal tied it with a goal nine minutes into the second. That was all the

scoring until double overtime when Carter Lukenda buried a rebound chance from the side of the net.

Adam Clark made 37 saves for the win. It was Salmon Arm’s fourth over-time triumph this season and third against the Vipers.

“It’s always good to win against your rival,” said Robinson. “It started with very good goaltending, good structure and we worked very, very hard. That’s the recipe for us to be success-ful. We seem to play our best hockey against the Vipers.”

In the Trail game, three

affi liate players (Connor Brown-Maloski, Connor Fynn and Spencer Hewson) suited up as Riley Hunt, Anthony Croston and Josh Bowes are all out with vari-ous ailments. The ’Backs also lost captain Bennett Hambrook early against Trail but Robinson says he is day-to-day.

“We wanted to take a look at a few guys and they acquit-ted themselves well,” said Robinson of his call-ups.”

Next up is a Friday visit to West Kelowna. On Satur-day, Salmon Arm hosts the Nanaimo Clippers.

Exciting win over rivals

The Thompson Riv-ers University Wolf-Pack men’s soccer team ended the season in the medals.

The WolfPack,

which includes Salmon Arm Secondary grads Austin Schneebli, Col-ton Walker and Travis Froehlich, captured

the 2012 PACWEST bronze medal with a 6-2 win over the Kwantlen Polytechnic University Eagles.

“It was a great way to fi nish off the sea-son,” said WolfPack co-head coach Sean Wallace.

“We came out with our guns a-blazin,” added John Antulov, also a co-head coach. The WolfPack led 3-1 after the fi rst half and got all their players into the match.

In the second half, one of the goals was scored by midfi elder Colton Walker, a fi rst-year TRU student from Sicamous.

“He was very im-pressive today,” said

Antulov after the game. “In fact, all our fi rst-year players did extremely well all sea-son. Colton did a great

job of being dominant in the centre of the park and was a key on defence.”

Travis Froehlich, a

SAS grad from Rev-elstoke, played the fi rst 60 minutes of the game, giving up just one goal.

Once again the Salmon Arm Secondary Cross-Country Running teams showed they are tops in the region.

At the Okanagan Championships in Summerland on Oct. 23, the Senior Girls and Junior Boys were fi rst while the Se-nior Boys placed second. That means both the Senior Girls and Senior Boys teams go to Provincials. Although they are classifi ed as senior teams, they have junior-age run-ners on them. The Provincials are in Prince George on Saturday, Nov. 3.

The girls who ran on Tuesday were, in fi nishing order: Emmy Sim, Glynis Sim, Elena Bruns, Rebecca McDonald, Stella Mozin, Lisa Petterson, Katie Harding, Sam Bergman, Jasmine Hare, Sam Wex and Silken Kleer. There were 93 runners in that race.

In the boys race there were 102 run-ners. Finishing order was: Don Robinson, James Whitehead, Alexander Corbett, An-drew Nash, Nelson Kleer, Seth van Vars-veld, Lukas Allan, Jake Stephens and Der-rick Wrench. Jon Bakker also ran the race but was unable to fi nish due to a previous injury.

Runners for Shuswap Middle School were Rachel May, Abbey Fabro, Ella Shy-kula-Ross, Andrew Olson, Matt Cooper and Kaelen Hougen.

Running teams head to Provincials

Fleet of foot: Five members of the Salmon Arm Secondary cross-country running team placed in the top 20 in the Okanagans Oct. 23, bringing home ribbons. They are: Don Robinson, 11th; Rachel May from Shus-wap Middle School, 19th; James Whitehead, 19th; Glynis Sim, fourth; and Emmy Sim, second. Perennial boys’ winner Thomas Hardy did not com-pete.

whole. In my last cou-ple years training with the Sockeyes, and for the many years I have coached after that, the club has had a number of coaches that have re-ally acted as my men-tors and inspiration.

“It’s been all of these

coaches’ cumulative efforts that have gradu-ally changed the Sock-eyes program to be the best for the competitive interests of the swim-mers. However, this change has not altered the way that the Sock-eyes value fun and team spirit, which is really why swimmers

want to keep swimming with the Sockeyes,” she wrote.

Konrad is currently living in New York City, attending the New York University Col-lege of Dentistry.

Asked what she loves about coaching, she wrote: “I think what I love most about coach-

ing is the relationships you build with your ath-letes. There is nothing better, for me, than be-ing involved in helping a swimmer reach their goals and progress in the sport. It’s so excit-ing to watch a child re-ally become passionate about the sport, come to practice each day,

put in their best effort and have that effort pay off in the end. I don’t know what could be much more rewarding, uplifting and inspiring than that.”

She said she’s grate-ful for the coaches, swimmers and parents she’s met along the way.

Salmon Arm Tier 3 Silvertips travelled to Merritt this past week-end to compete in a tournament consisting mainly of teams from the Lower Mainland.

Although they lost three of their four games, ’Tips head coach Troy Haskle was impressed with the team’s physi-cal play, lead by de-fenceman Connor “the crusher” Senn. Goal scorers included Jacob Tudan, Owen Langtry, Colby Jepson, Brayden Haskell and Jordan Fournier.

The losses couldn’t be blamed on offi ciat-ing. However, ’Tips fans did comment that the only good thing about the ref was that he had a great moustache. Assistant coach Spen-cer Moore is grateful to team parent Denise Ir-men, who provided the players with Halloween costumes during the tra-ditional team dinner on the Friday night before the game.

Silver weekendOn the weekend of

Oct. 26-28, the Sco-tia Bank Bantam Tier 2 Silvertips travelled to Williams Lake for a tournament against northern r=ep teams. The fi rst game was Friday evening where the Silvertips beat Van-derhoof in a 5-1 affair. The game featured the return of Triston Fergu-son after a long lay-off from injury, where he rode the adrenaline to score two goals. Satur-day morning, the team met a strong Quesnel team and prevailed in a close 3-2 win. Sat-urday afternoon, the ’Tips lost a close 2-1 matchup with Williams Lake, despite throwing 50 shots at their goalie who was the differ-ence. Sunday morning, the Salmon Arm boys won a one-sided affair against a struggling Prince George team, where both Tyler Turn-er and Nathan Plessis scored natural hat tricks in the second period. That game propelled the ’Tips to fi rst place in the tournament round-robin, setting the stage

for a tournament fi nal game vs. Quesnel. Un-fortunately, the team did not match the Quesnel determination, earning Quesnel the tournament honours in a 6-2 loss. So the Silvertips skated away with another sil-ver medal, in repeat of an earlier tournament in Westside. Tournament MVP awards were earned by Salmon Arm players Shane Minnis, Tyler Turner, Eric Por-ter, Joey Guerra, Nathan Plessis and Dawson Head. Leading scorer for the local boys was defencemen Alex Asta-siewicz with three goals and six assists over the fi ve games. The team also had a fun Hallow-een meal, where players dressed up as seniors. Overall, a fun weekend, re-enforcing the expec-tations set as a team to keep a strong focus and work ethic in order to overcome the top teams in the province in Tier 2.

Penguin powerDr. Chris Main spon-

sored Novice Silver Penguins Hockey Club began their season Fri-day night in Armstrong with a well-deserved 10-5 victory over the North Okanagan Knights. Caleb De-Hoog started the scor-ing two minutes into the fi rst period with his fi rst of three goals that night, but the Knights scored two goals within 90 seconds to take the lead. DeHoog potted his second goal at the nine-minute mark. Lu-cas Patterson scored his fi rst of the season three minutes later to take the lead 3-2, and the Penguins never looked back. The team broke it open in the second period, with Drayk Ek-land scoring goals two and Aiden Lindblad notching his fi rst of the season. The third pe-riod was a seesaw battle with DeHoog getting his third, Ekland potting another pair and Kellan Mooney putting one in at the half mark. The Knights hung in there, scoring a pair late in the game, but Salmon Arm was too much for them on this night. A solid

effort in goal was put in by Connor Levins, stopping 18 shots and keeping the Penguins in the game with some spectacular saves in the second period. Besides goal scoring, a solid ef-fort was put in by: Jor-dan Perepolkin, Chris-tian Johnson, Ethan Wallace, Landon Law-rence, Gabe Niewen-huizen, Nathan Davis-Lent, Treyden Currie and Jaden Bitz.

Win one, tie oneAbundant Specialty

Advertising’s Salmon Arm SilverBacks Atom B travelled to Sum-merland for back-to-back games against the Summerland Jets last weekend. Looking for redemption from their big loss against the Jets a week ago, goalie Hot

Rod May came out strong and made some big saves. An early goal by team captain, Damian Earl put the ’Backs out in front after the fi rst period. Great back checking by the forwards helped to keep the ’Backs in the lead. A goal by the Jets halfway through the second was quickly forgotten as Justin Schielke skated past the defence on a breakaway to score and help to regain Salmon Arm’s lead.

The ’Backs strong defensive play was led by Mason Balon, mak-ing his debut on the blueline, as he worked to shut down the Jets’ offence. Henry Lenar-duzzi’s shot from the high slot midway through the third sealed the deal, with a 3-2 fi nal

game score. In their sec-ond game against Sum-merland, the ’Backs came out on fi re with an opening goal by Aidan Chan four minutes into the fi rst. Summerland rebounded with a quick goal, but a breakaway goal by Henry Lenar-duzzi established the ’Backs lead, followed by goals from Damian Earl and Austen York.

At 4-1 near the end of the fi rst, a scramble in front of the ’Backs net allowed for an easy goal by the Jets. The ’Backs seemed to lose some of their momentum in the second, though out-standing goaltending by Carson Irmen helped to keep them in the game.

With a tie game of 4-4, it was a tense third period. The Jets dumped one in to gain the lead, but a goal by Damian Earl late in the third tied the game. Despite great offensive efforts by Matt Bushell, Salmon Arm was unable to fi n-ish off the Jets, and had to settle with a 5-5 tie.

Boom BoomSalmon Arm’s Noah Paterson spent a few moments with Ray (Boom Boom) Mancini, former World Lightweight champion, who was in Kelowna for the premier of his new movie, The Good Son, Friday night. Paterson fought at the Mancini Fight Night event where he took on Chase Schwandt from Thistletown Boxing Club in Kelowna. Paterson, two years younger and a few pounds heavier, knew he had his work cut out for him. He stopped Chase in the 2nd round with a number of combinations and a thundering right hand.

Salmon Arm residents Doug and Lorraine Ibbitson were the fi rst visiting fans to take advan-tage of the early bird ticket offer to the RBC Cup hosted by Ver-non in 2014.

To those who know them, it was no surprise. Committed hockey fans, they see most of the SilverBacks games, home and away. Before they retired

to Salmon Arm eight years ago, they held season tickets for both the Vancouver Canucks and the Surrey Eagles.

“We just love the BCHL,” says Doug.

But they don’t show favourit-ism – this December they’ll trav-el to Russia for the World Junior Championship and they’re fi rst in line to get tickets for the 2013

tournament in Malmo, Sweden. When Doug says, “Hockey trumps most everything in this household,” he means it.

So far, about 115 people have signed up to volunteer for the 2014 RBC Cup. In addition, some 30 people have been re-cruited to lead task committees. Eventually, the event will need about 250 volunteers.

Directed by Deepa Mehta, writ-ten and narrated by Salman Rush-die, and suspended somewhere be-tween fable and history, this fi lm is an enchanting epic that re-imagines India’s history through the lives of two children switched at birth, born within moments of India gaining its independence from Britain.

In this Canadian documentary, Sarah Polley is both fi lmmaker and detective as she investigates the se-crets kept by a family of storytellers.

She playfully interviews and inter-rogates a cast of characters of vary-

ing reliability, eliciting candid, yet most contradictory answers to the

same questions.As each relates their version of

family mythology, present-day recol-lections shift into nostalgic glimpses of their dead mother. In this deeply personal fi lm Polley discovers that the truth depends on who is telling it.

All fi lms will be shown at the Sal-mar Classic Theatre and festivalgo-ers are reminded to enjoy a “reel lunch” at SAGA Public Art Gallery from 11:30 a.m. to 1 p.m. Saturday and Sunday during the festival.

Tickets are available prior to the fi lms at Wearabouts on Alexander Street or at the door – cash only at the door.

Single admission is $7, a fi ve-fi lm pass is $30 and all six fi lms are avail-able with a $35 gold pass. Master-Card and Visa can be used to buy tickets on the fi lm society’s Reserve Line at 250-832-2294.

Festival and gold passes guarantee festivalgoers see the movies at dis-count prices but do not guarantee ad-mission in case of a sell-out so arrive early to avoid disappointment.

New dimensions in artSAGA Public Art

Gallery presents Brain-storm, a dual exhibition of 2D collage by Jen Dyck and 3D collage by Patrick Hughes.

The exhibition opens Friday, Nov. 2 at 7 p.m. with live music by Bernd Hermanski, and refreshments.

Dyck eats, sleeps, works and plays in Salmon Arm and is increasingly interested in what happens while she sleeps.

She has called up her nighttime images, played with them, given them paper-doll bodies, furnished their homes, their spaces and accessorized them.

Jung said this kind of play was a way to ac-tivate these dream im-

ages and to establish a relationship with their emotional charge.

He called this sort

of thing ‘Auseinander-setzung’ and defi ned it as a dialogue with ourselves, a setting of

one thing out against the other.

Patrick Hughes is an artist and part-time shepherd, and lives contentedly in a stu-dio in the woods near Celista.

People have been creating with found materials forever. Hughes has been at it for about 40 years.

Brainstorm runs to Nov. 23. Coffee break and artist talk is Thurs-day, Nov. 15 at 2 p.m.

Gallery hours are Tuesday to Saturday, 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. Ad-mission to the gallery is by donation.

Free drop-in Family Saturdays run from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. and proj-ects are suitable for kids aged two to 12.

Night games: Jen Dyck’s “Sleeping Beau-ty: Bite My Hand... ooh... No Don’t Bite My Hand,” is part of an exhibition opening Fri-day at SAGA Public Art Gallery.

Jazz-a-matazz The Jazz Club of Salmon Arm presents world-re-nowned bassist, singer and composer Brandi Disterheft at 7 p.m. Friday, Nov. 9 at the Salmar Classic Theatre. Admission to this concert is a suggested $15 donation.

Contenders re-uniteKnown as the Con-

tenders, Valdy and Gary Fjellgard return to the Shuswap at 8 p.m. Thursday, Nov. 8 at Carlin Hall.

“Primarily, we like to come back because it’s the Shuswap and we have pals we like to visit,” says Valdy, who notes good friends Kel-ly and Blu Hopkins will open the show.

Valdy says, after 11 years, the tour has not only gained momen-tum, but has become a valuable tradition.

“We don’t have a lot of traditions except what would be commercial. As religion is leaking out of society, tradi-tions are being missed entirely,” he says. “I like to put cultural tradi-

tions back into life. My life is not normal but having done this for so many years, it’s one of the anchors in my year and I look forward to it as such.”

Valdy says that while he still tours the country, his only regular trail is through the Okanagan and Shuswap.

And one of his favou-rite aspects of appearing at Carlin Hall is renew-ing ties with the Hop-kins and hearing their music.

“They’re wonderful people and good sing-ers,” he says. “They’re traditional in what they do.”

Breaking away from tradition himself, Valdy announces with a laugh that he has a new album

he deems “weird, but pretty good.”

“It’s weird because it’s all over the map, but true folk music,” he says.

The Contenders’ an-nual appearance is in support of George Ryga Week, as proclaimed by the provincial govern-ment and produced by Ken Smedley.

Asked why he sup-ports Ryga, Valdy says he was a pivotal charac-ter in musical history.

“He represented the disenfranchised, the people who didn’t have a shot at it,” he says. “He was a social activist and I like to put him up the fl agpole and encourage people to be activists.”

Tickets are available at Acorn Music.

Country Music Television’s Hit List Tour will ride into Salmon Arm March 7 at the Shaw Centre.

We’reWe’reMoreMoreThanThanJustJustPrint.Print.

Post your comments on recent articles and let your voice be heard.

TIME OUTARIES (March 21-April 19): You do not understand why there is so much oppression when you know you have worked so hard and fairly for it. You were clear about your position in this situation, yet discussions rotating around shared rights keep popping up. Soon, you will have the courage to voice your concerns out in the open; others will listen. Stay strong! TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Recent unpleasant dis-coveries might have created some havoc in your life. Certain relationships seemed too hard to predict. This is not a good time to push your limits. Accept things the way they are and stay away from manipulative people. GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Enjoy keeping yourself busy and circulating around with no disruptions while your ruler, Mercury, is still in a good moving speed. You’ll finally put your work life aside for a while and spend some quality time with that special someone. CANCER (June 21-July 22): In the beginning of the week you will want to keep your feelings to yourself and avoid disclosing your vulnerable side. Issues sur-rounding a loved one or, possibly children will re-quire your attention. By the end of the week, you’ll be back to your usual self. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Lately, you have projected a more serious attitude than usual. Errands and obliga-tions have kept you in the shadows, making you less available. You work harder than usual: do not let this heaviness get to you. Learn to prioritize your respon-sibilities and get out more. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Your mind is overflow-ing with invigorating thoughts and you present your-self with a pleasant stance. This trend will continue in the weeks to follow yet. You will continue to be in-spired and you will blossom.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Until now, you resided in a place that didn’t allow you much dealings and co-operation with others. Starting now, you will possess the power to feel more in tune with the circumstances around you. You will be able to face them more di-rectly and openly. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): You will want to show your amorous affections more discreetly than usual and at times, they might present themselves quite ran-domly. Your stance and your ego are strong right now allowing you to express yourself more directly and face any difficulty with much gusto. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): You were faced with certain battles involving a spouse or a business partner. You found yourself in an inner struggle with yourself and this frustration was far from obvious. By the end of the week, friends will come to you offeringa shoulder to lean on.CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): You want to stay in your own corner. Midweek, your work atmosphere might give you some headaches, but that won’t put you down for one bit. By the end of the week, some-one close to you will help restore your emotional well-being. You’ll regain your humor and optimism.AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Ongoing challenges did not stop you from thinking about your social en-cumbrances and your standing in your professional life. Now, you are moving into a different phase of your life: a more uplifting and a liberating one. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): You are working hard towards building a more efficient and stable future. It seems as though you have changed your convictions about certain philosophies in your life. You realize you need to keep an open mind in order to feel free.

Ralph & Marilyn KernaghanRalph & Marilyn Kernaghan~ Love Your Children~ Love Your Children

Thank You!Thank You!The family of Hazel Knutson wishes tothank family and friends for all the thoughts of condolence after her passing on October 17th, at Shuswap Lake General Hospital, complications of her blood disorder.The food, fl owers, cards and calls were all such an expression of love… A very special thanks to Mi-chelle, Charlotte and Deb for their special time with Mom, and Suzanne, Sandy and Emelia for always keeping in touch.A friend of Mom’s said “Hazel was the kindest, calm-est, most decent friend she ever had.”A nephew states “Aunt Hazel was the epitomy of peace, serenity and sincerity and will always be remembered.”This was our mother, strong to the end, always questioning, wanting answers I couldn’t give her, her blindness being her biggest obstacle. Faithfully listened to The Waltons, church services on Sunday, special CDs of music and I read to her every day.Her children/grandchildren and their spouses meant everything to her, always trying to keep up with their lives. Phone calls, visits and popping in to say hello.Rest in peace dear mother, ‘til we meet again.~ Gaille & Ross Bisson, Salmon Arm; Jerry & Janice of Gimli; Vern & Libby of Helena; Steve & Marie of Eston, Sk., Sherry & Nelson of Calgary.

Train Locally – The only program of its kind in BC, students can learn within their local communities via distance education, local and/or regional clinical placements, and some regional classroom delivery. This 23 month program is accredited by the College of Registered Psychiatric Nurses of BC (CRPNBC). Government student loans, Employment & Labour Market Services (ELMS), band funding & other financing options available to qualified applicants.
