Alleged bullying prompts lawsuit Courts: Mother claims School District #83 did not do enough to protect her son, seeks damages for lost income. By Tracy Hughes OBSERVER STAFF
A Salmon Arm woman is suing School District #83 in small claims court, seeking damages for lost wages after she says bullying forced her to pull her son from public school and home school him instead. Leanne McIvor has filed documents 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 bullying, harassment and human rights conditions after a provincial ministerial 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 report 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 control. They don’t.” School District #83 would not comment on this specific case as it is before the courts, but Glen Borthistle, acting superintendent, says the school district takes bullying seriously 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. “...Speaking generally, the district, See District on page A2

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 animals after the city received four complaints 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 going to leave it up to council. However, 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 See Unsafe on page A4

POLICE
Beat
Medical emergency A 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 condition, 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 two A man was arrested twice in one day after a domestic 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 release 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 alert A 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 safety Salmon 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 flashlights or glow sticks.
District has anti-bullying programs Continued from front under the umbrella of student safety and wellness, has a multi-faceted approach to this complex issue by raising awareness of the bullying issue encouraging prevention as well as intervention programs. The wellness umbrella helps the district deal with the underlying causes of bullying and helps students 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 RCMP are investigating after a 43-yearold woman was found dead in her bed on Oct. 28. Police were called to the Black Road residence on the outskirts of Salmon Arm where the woman was found unresponsive, but with no visible signs of injury. Police tape blocked access to the scene of the woman’s death to preserve potential evidence should the cause of death turn out to be suspicious. An autopsy is scheduled for Tuesday, Oct. 30, but results were not available at press time. Toxicology tests are also being conducted.

Spunk sparks TV spot Upbeat: Repeated surgeries don’t keep teen down. By Barb Brouwer OBSERVER STAFF
She may be proud of being chosen for a Telus television commercial, but a film career is not included in 14-yearold Maggie Manning’s plans. The Salmon Arm teen is very determined that she will become a pediatric orthopedic surgeon. Maggie is well-acquainted with the field 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 condition 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 irrepressible teen with things to do while she’s in hospital, 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 connects young hospital patients to their families, friends and school network. Kids can build a blog, learn kid-friendly information about their conditions, play games, email, and share experiences by connecting with others who are in hospital as well. This connection is provided by Telus in partnership with Kids’ Health Links Foundation, 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 taxing activities like playing violin and piano, or interacting with her
two pet rats, the selfdescribed 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, Maggie 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 Studios 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 film, shot entirely in Salmon Arm.

Connection: A safe social network allows patients in children’s hospitals to reach out to each other and share their experiences. But Peters says Telus was interested in doing a full-blown commercial to make people aware of the corporation’s community involvement. “We took her to Toronto to meet a young lady of about 18 who had mentored her,” he said of a seriously ill young woman by whom Maggie was befriended 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 hospitals across the country, Peters says Telus wants to expand the service but notes it take a sizeable commitment on the part of the hospital.

The Stephen Jenkinson workshop hosted by the Shuswap Hospice Society on October 22, 2012 was a huge success with 145 people in attendance.

Unsafe trees could be removed Continued from front 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 situation 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 Environment regulations that deem it an offence if a person disturbs or destroys a beaver house, den or dam without a permit. Rob Niewenhuizen, the city’s director of engineering 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 absent from the meeting, but of those present, Coun. Chad Eliason was alone in recommending that the beavers be trapped. just click www.saobserver.net

Correction Notice
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 census in 2006. In 2011, 97.8 per cent of Salmon Arm’s population spoke only English most often at home, 0.2 per cent spoke only French and 1.4 per cent spoke a non-official 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 first language. French is the mother tongue of 190 people, while 1,245 Salmon Arm residents list a nonofficial 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, Cantonese and Chinese (non-specified). Mother tongue is defined by Statistics Canada as the first language learned at home during childhood and still understood. As far as official 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.

FOR WHAT IT’S WORTH
Tracy Hughes
Time change falls flat Many 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 first 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 forward” 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 woken 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 patience. Then you face the evening horror show with two choices; you put them to bed when they are tired at their normal time, knowing 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 blearyeyed moms and dads who curse the time change.

Editorial
Democracy falters under FIPA In 1988, a far-reaching trade agreement was considered an important enough issue to base an election 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 proposed 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 Protection Act (FIPA) is expected to be ratified today, without public discussion of this 31-year deal. According to a Toronto law professor who specializes in international investment law, and others
who have studied and oppose the agreement, the deal allows Chinese firms to sue in special tribunals to protect themselves from Canadian government decisions, whether they be municipal, provincial or federal. The same is true for Canadian companies in China. However, no Canadian companies nor governments will be able to sue a Chinese 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 agreement before it’s set in stone for three decades.

VIEW POINT
Salmon Arm Observer Wednesday, October 31, 2012
www.saobserver.net A7
The Observer asked:
What do you think should be done about the beavers at the foreshore?
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.”
Manage, Humans, not beavers, the real threat don’t remove I returned to live in Salmon Arm a few months ago and have been enjoying 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 Observer 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 opportunity for everyone, the beavers are there for a reason, usually because of the abundance of food and suitable habitat. If the beavers are trapped and killed, more beavers 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 beavers are using. It is also a very small area. It’s not as if the beavers are clearcutting the area as their human counterparts usually do. It’s more like “selective” logging. 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 description 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 councillor” should be relocated. Joan Chadwick
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 encroachment of human development that causes destruction of flora 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 surrounds 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 “divine breath” or “inspiration,” and in Hebrew “spirit” is also equated with “breath.” Words to ponder upon n’est-ce pas? Linda Irvine
Canada-China treaty needs to be exposed 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 companies 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 anything that would limit the companies’ profits in Canada. Theodore McAlister
Liberals spin their record of fiscal management It is odd to hear the BC Liberals state that they are the voice of fiscal reason here, contrary to the NDP, and that they can be trusted in contrast to “risky Dix.” This is spite of an overwhelming raft of evidence that points a finger 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 international 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 substantial debt to pay off on top of staggering deferred debt payments (debt that the taxpayer 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 systematically being told that the programs the Liberals are funding are part of their “Families first” 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 fiscally prudent. The evidence points to the contrary. K. Blake Newton
Changes to voting needed to protect democracy Our democracy is going down the tube in Canada as best evidenced by the fact that the polls show two-thirds of Canadians are progressive, yet we are now being ruled with an iron fist 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 office and most decisions benefit the corporations and the one per cent, to the detriment of most Canadians. Whether it is more prisons, jet fighters, 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 possible, 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 major 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 fix the problem of voter apathy we need to make voting 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 environment and our rights and freedoms. Jim Cooperman

Group offers support to those living with cancer By Barb Brouwer OBSERVER STAFF
A cancer diagnosis can instill fear and a sense aloneness. But a support group that meets at the Canadian Cancer Society every month can help alleviate those and other concerns for women with cancer and caregivers. “The group provides a safe place, a place where everything that’s being said is confidential, where people understand what others are going through, express concerns and help each other with their suggestions,” says facilitator Tovie Green. “For caregivers, 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 attendance, and includes a cup of tea and a snack, providing a social aspect as well.

Style: Volunteer Tovie Green helps fit
one of the wigs available through the local Canadian Cancer Society office. Housed in the back room are a number of wigs and prostheses available to help women deal with the physical aspects of the disease. “This is a huge service the Canadian Cancer Society provides,” says Green. “Wigs, bras and prosthetics are available by donation, but if money’s an issue, people can have it anyway.” The group is always open, with a very simple format, and members 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 certified life coach. The group meets on the first Monday of the month at noon, but Green suggests people call first to make sure there are no changes. For more information, call the Canadian Cancer Society at 250833-4334.

Tech job opportunities booming “British Columbia has a ready source of great jobs and careers in technology. Our education programs need to keep up with that demand.” John Leech, Executive Director of the Applied Science Technologists and Technicians of BC, explains that, “Every system we rely on – water, roads and transportation, telecommunications and Internet, hydro and natural gas, environment, health, forestry, and many more – utilizes engineering and applied science technology professionals working in the background. BC’s telecom and IT, animation and many other sectors produce new careers 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
John Leech EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR and institutes. “Our members enjoy rewarding, well-paid and often recessionproof careers in public service and the private sector alike,” Leech states. “For huge numbers of young men and women, technology is the answer. In B.C. and across Canada, technology permeates every workplace 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 Technology Culture’.” In Salmon Arm, Okanagan College is responding to the need
for office workers to keep up with the latest in technology through its office administration courses. “People already in an office environment are finding 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 communtiy,” says Carmen Burt, office adminstration instructor. “People are aware of the need to stay current with technology.” Leech calls on government for renewed efforts to build student skills and confidence in math and science. “We especially need to interest young students 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 recent “Year of Science” program that encouraged students toward
so-called “STEM” subjects – science, technology, engineering and math. Citing the recent $6 million B.C. campaign to encourage careers in trades, Leech urges a similar effort to build awareness of engineering careers. Even the Canadian Council of Chief Executives expressed concern that only 37 per cent of 16- to 18-year-olds were interested in taking even one post-secondary course in sciences, according to a recent Angus Reid survey. Leech says the opportunities for those seeking work in the technology field are considerable given a wave of retirements of present-generation B.C. technology professionals that is already underway. “Half of our membership 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 concludes.

Dealing with Halloween’s sugary aftermath HEALTHY BITES
Serena Caner It’s Halloween time again, and many parents worry about the mountains of candy their children bring home. Should you set limits? Let children decide for themselves how much to eat? There isn’t just one right answer. Often using your judgment with what you know about your child’s personality 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-ortreat time. There are many fun things about Halloween besides the candy. Invite friends over for a “dressing up party,” have a Halloween-themed dinner and only trick-or-treat at friends’ houses. Make it more about the occasion than the candy. Spend more time socializing, decorating, costuming and taking photos and less time accumulating candy. Trick or Treat on a full stomach. Have your children eat a meal before 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 parents offer to “buy” the candy back from their children. For older children, this acknowledges 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 candy. For younger children 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 Halloween over and throw away any remaining candy. Store candy out of sight, so that they are

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 trying 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.

Konrad receives Coach of the Year honours 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 announcement 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 record and whose team has the highest number of points per Coach Dani Konrad. athlete. With multiple provincial records broken at the 2012 Provincials, this method was the simplest way of determining the strength of the entire team versus a single highperforming athlete.” Konrad led the Sockeyes to their first 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 first time the Sockeyes have made top 10 provincially – 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 reflects well on an excellent team. “This award doesn’t only reflect on my coaching abilities, but the Sockeyes organization as a See Coaching on page A14

Exciting win over rivals Though 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 Vipers was followed by something 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 successful. 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 first of two, put the visitors back up a pair shortly after Orr’s goal. Robinson did like the response of his team in the second and third periods as they outshot Trail 23-13 in that span, but former SilverBacks

Keep away: SilverBack Shane Hanna #12 and point leader controls the puck during the ’Backs 5-2 loss Saturday against the Trail Smoke Eaters. affiliate player Lyndon Stanwood 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 scoring first going on to win the game. And Stanwood was very good in net for them too.” On Friday at Wesbild Centre in Vernon, Adam Tambellini put the home side up with a power-play goal in the first, 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 overtime 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 successful. We seem to play our best hockey against the Vipers.” In the Trail game, three

affiliate players (Connor Brown-Maloski, Connor Fynn and Spencer Hewson) suited up as Riley Hunt, Anthony Croston and Josh Bowes are all out with various 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 acquitted themselves well,” said Robinson of his call-ups.” Next up is a Friday visit to West Kelowna. On Saturday, Salmon Arm hosts the Nanaimo Clippers.

Football Golds shine The host Salmon Arm Golds used a potent ground game in the second half to outgun the Vernon Panthers 47-12 in junior varsity football exhibition play last Wednesday night. The Panthers opened the scoring with a six-yard touchdown run in the first quarter, but the Golds responded with two scores of their own, including a 30-yard bomb to the end zone. The first play of the second half was indicative of the rest of the game as Salmon Arm took it 65 yards to go up 19-6. They scored four more times in the second half to seal the win.

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 Shuswap Middle School, 19th; James Whitehead, 19th; Glynis Sim, fourth; and Emmy Sim, second. Perennial boys’ winner Thomas Hardy did not compete.
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 first while the Senior Boys placed second. That means both the Senior Girls and Senior Boys teams go to Provincials. Although they are classified as senior teams, they have junior-age runners on them. The Provincials are in Prince George on Saturday, Nov. 3. The girls who ran on Tuesday were, in finishing 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 runners. Finishing order was: Don Robinson, James Whitehead, Alexander Corbett, Andrew Nash, Nelson Kleer, Seth van Varsveld, Lukas Allan, Jake Stephens and Derrick Wrench. Jon Bakker also ran the race but was unable to finish due to a previous injury. Runners for Shuswap Middle School were Rachel May, Abbey Fabro, Ella Shykula-Ross, Andrew Olson, Matt Cooper and Kaelen Hougen.
Coaching tops inspiring experiences Continued from pg. 13 whole. In my last couple 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 really acted as my mentors and inspiration. “It’s been all of these
coaches’ cumulative efforts that have gradually changed the Sockeyes program to be the best for the competitive interests of the swimmers. However, this change has not altered the way that the Sockeyes 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 College 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 athletes. There is nothing better, for me, than being involved in helping a swimmer reach their goals and progress in the sport. It’s so exciting to watch a child really 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 grateful for the coaches, swimmers and parents she’s met along the way.

’Tips impress in tourney play Salmon Arm Tier 3 Silvertips travelled to Merritt this past weekend 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 physical play, lead by defenceman 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 officiating. However, ’Tips fans did comment that the only good thing about the ref was that he had a great moustache. Assistant coach Spencer Moore is grateful to team parent Denise Irmen, who provided the players with Halloween costumes during the traditional team dinner on the Friday night before the game.
for a tournament final game vs. Quesnel. Unfortunately, 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 silver medal, in repeat of an earlier tournament in Westside. Tournament MVP awards were earned by Salmon Arm players Shane Minnis, Tyler Turner, Eric Porter, Joey Guerra, Nathan Plessis and Dawson Head. Leading scorer for the local boys was defencemen Alex Astasiewicz with three goals and six assists over the five games. The team also had a fun Halloween meal, where players dressed up as seniors. Overall, a fun weekend, re-enforcing the expectations 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 power Silver weekend On the weekend of Oct. 26-28, the Scotia Bank Bantam Tier 2 Silvertips travelled to Williams Lake for a tournament against northern r=ep teams. The first game was Friday evening where the Silvertips beat Vanderhoof in a 5-1 affair. The game featured the return of Triston Ferguson after a long lay-off from injury, where he rode the adrenaline to score two goals. Saturday morning, the team met a strong Quesnel team and prevailed in a close 3-2 win. Saturday afternoon, the ’Tips lost a close 2-1 matchup with Williams Lake, despite throwing 50 shots at their goalie who was the difference. Sunday morning, the Salmon Arm boys won a one-sided affair against a struggling Prince George team, where both Tyler Turner and Nathan Plessis scored natural hat tricks in the second period. That game propelled the ’Tips to first place in the tournament roundrobin, setting the stage
Dr. Chris Main sponsored Novice Silver Penguins Hockey Club began their season Friday night in Armstrong with a well-deserved 10-5 victory over the North Okanagan Knights. Caleb DeHoog started the scoring two minutes into the first period with his first 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. Lucas Patterson scored his first 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 Ekland scoring goals two and Aiden Lindblad notching his first of the season. The third period 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

Besides goal scoring, a solid effort was put in by: Jordan Perepolkin, Christian Johnson, Ethan Wallace, Landon Lawrence, Gabe Niewenhuizen, Nathan DavisLent, Treyden Currie and Jaden Bitz.
Win one, tie one Abundant Specialty Advertising’s Salmon Arm SilverBacks Atom B travelled to Summerland for back-toback 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 first 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, making his debut on the blueline, as he worked to shut down the Jets’ offence. Henry Lenarduzzi’s shot from the high slot midway through the third sealed the deal, with a 3-2 final

game score. In their second game against Summerland, the ’Backs came out on fire with an opening goal by Aidan Chan four minutes into the first. Summerland rebounded with a quick goal, but a breakaway goal by Henry Lenarduzzi established the ’Backs lead, followed by goals from Damian Earl and Austen York. At 4-1 near the end of the first, 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 outstanding 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 finish off the Jets, and had to settle with a 5-5 tie.

Getting ready for RBC Cup Salmon Arm residents Doug and Lorraine Ibbitson were the first visiting fans to take advantage of the early bird ticket offer to the RBC Cup hosted by Vernon 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. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We just love the BCHL,â&#x20AC;? says Doug. But they donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t show favouritism â&#x20AC;&#x201C; this December theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll travel to Russia for the World Junior Championship and theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re first in line to get tickets for the 2013

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

Jazz-a-matazz
The Jazz Club of Salmon Arm presents world-renowned 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-unite Known as the Contenders, 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 Kelly and Blu Hopkins will open the show. Valdy says, after 11 years, the tour has not only gained momentum, 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, traditions 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 favourite aspects of appearing at Carlin Hall is renewing ties with the Hopkins and hearing their music. “They’re wonderful people and good singers,” 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’ annual appearance is in support of George Ryga Week, as proclaimed by the provincial government and produced by Ken Smedley. Asked why he supports Ryga, Valdy says he was a pivotal character 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 flagpole and encourage people to be activists.” Tickets are available at Acorn Music.

ARIES (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 discoveries 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. Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;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 surrounding a loved one or, possibly children will require your attention. By the end of the week, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be back to your usual self. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Lately, you have projected a more serious attitude than usual. Errands and obligations 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 responsibilities and get out more. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Your mind is overflowing with invigorating thoughts and you present yourself with a pleasant stance. This trend will continue in the weeks to follow yet. You will continue to be inspired and you will blossom.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Until now, you resided in a place that didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t allow you much dealings and cooperation 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 directly 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 randomly. 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 offering a 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 wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t put you down for one bit. By the end of the week, someone close to you will help restore your emotional well-being. Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll regain your humor and optimism. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Ongoing challenges did not stop you from thinking about your social encumbrances 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.

The family of Hazel Knutson wishes to thank 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, flowers, cards and calls were all such an expression of love… A very special thanks to Michelle, 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, calmest, 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.
