Downtown parking proves divisive Trial period: Two-hour parking throughout the core panned by many Hudson Ave. businesses. By Lachlan Labere OBSeRVeR STAFF

There’s a storm brewing between Salmon Arm merchants over a proposal for free two-hour parking in the downtown core. This is city councillor Marg Kentel’s prediction regarding a debate that’s been growing between several downtown merchants and the body that’s intended to represent them, downtown Salmon Arm. Her comments were made prior to council extending the cur-

rent two-hour free parking trial period on Hudson for another two months. In July 2013, council approved a request from the city’s downtown Parking commission, resulting from a request from downtown Salmon Arm, to extend parking hours on Hudson Avenue, between Shuswap and Alexander streets, from one hour to two for a six-month trial period. Following this decision, council received a petition with 18 businesses in the affected area opposing the trial,

which was supposed to finish at the end of January. However, city council extended the trial period to the end of February to allow downtown Salmon Arm to conduct a survey. The 2014 downtown Salmon Public Parking Survey, which was open to community input, has since been completed and appears to favour expanding free two-hour parking to the entire downtown. In a Feb. 17 letter to council, downtown Salmon Arm president cookie langenfeld calls the response

from both downtown businesses and the public “overwhelmingly positive.” She asks that the trial be extended to a one-year period throughout the downtown core beginning March 1. “In order to ensure the best reflection of our members’ needs, beginning in Jan. 2015, our staff will once again survey the membership and public to solicit feedback on their experience with the extended trial.” In addition to this letter and the accompanying survey results,

council received a package of letters from downtown merchants who remain opposed to the twohour parking trial. The package includes a petition signed by 16 downtown businesses, a letter from Spirit Quest Books owner Margaret davidson, along with a letter signed, “the merchants, taxpayers and voters of Hudson Avenue.” This submission states the initial trial on Hudson Avenue was approved by council See Council on page A4

Chair refuses to reconsider vote on resort expansion

www.saobserver.net A3

It’s time to get comfortable.

By Tracy Hughes OBSERVER STAFF

In a complete about-face from an earlier memo to the board, Columbia Shuswap Regional District Board chair David Raven announced at Thursday’s meeting that he would not reconsider a rezoning decision regarding the expansion of Blind Bay Resort. This means the decision the CSRD board made on Jan. 16 to reject Dan Baskill’s application will stand. At that time, the CSRD rural area directors split 3-3 on whether to approve the application and, due to the tie, voting procedure dictates that the application was rejected. Raven’s decision sparked opposition from Area C (South Shuswap) director Paul Demenok who took the highly unusual step of challenging Raven’s authority as chairperson on this matter. Saying the voting process on Baskill’s application was flawed, Demenok’s challenge was an attempt to have the board overrule Raven’s decision to refuse reconsideration. The challenge, which is a procedure in Robert’s Rules of Order, caused a flurry of activity, as CSRD administrative staff had to leave the room to consult with legal counsel as to whether the challenge was valid in this case. Upon his return, Charles Hamilton, chief administrative officer, said that after getting legal advice, it was determined the statutory power of the chair to authorize reconsideration of a vote is unique to that person and can not be challenged. Raven’s announcement that he would not initiate reconsideration of the decision elicited audible gasps from people in the gallery, especially in light of his previous memo indicating he would do so. “As chair, my concern is the integrity of the process. Was it fair, defendable and appropriate? I do not personally have a dog in this fight,” Raven told the assembled board members and the overflowing gallery. “My determination is that this decision was made in an appropriate manner by the board. The process that was followed was defendable and the decision is defendable. “My decision is there will not be a re-vote. There is no reason to expose the board to the legal risk of a re-vote,” Raven said. There was significant representation from both sides of the debate over the rezoning at the

A group of citizens was in the gallery, as well as a contingent of people carrying brightly coloured signs who marched along the sidewalk outside the boardroom windows. Many of the messages called attention to the need for growth and development in Area C and expressed outrage at what they believe is the CSRD board’s unfair treatment of Baskill. Other citizens were in attendance to show support for the decision to deny Baskill’s application. They expressed concerns for water quality in the area and note that this application runs contrary both to the current Area C Official Community Plan, and the newest version which is still in process. Raven’s decision to let the Jan. 16 vote stand sparked anger from Baskill’s supporters. “You are all corrupt, every last one of you,” someone yelled into the boardroom as observers left the room. Outside, Baskill called the decision a sad day for every citi-

zen of the CSRD. “The message that has been sent is that business is not welcome here, that a misinformed, environmentalist agenda has trumped a responsible, ethical business proposal,” said a visibly upset Baskill, as he pointed across the parking lot to his sobbing wife who was surrounded by supporters. “Now I’ve got a wife and kids who have to face that the husband is being forced into bankruptcy.” Baskill said he is unable to finance a legal challenge to the CSRD decision. Some of Baskill’s supporters were suggesting an initiative to incorporate the Sorrento-Blind Bay area into its own municipality. This appeared to be something Raven also addressed in his statement, noting it was unfortunate that Area C only has one director for the size of the population and amount of commerce in the area. “To have all the pressure on one director is very difficult,” he said.

Due to a lack of volunteers, SAMBA is only accepting registrations for the PeeWee U13 (2001/02) and first year Bantams that wish to play down age divisions. SAMBA has had 4 long time board members retire as their children have grown up. Thus, in order to run other divisions, volunteers are needed for: • President • Registrar • Secretary • Uniform Manager (for the league) • Umpire Manager • Web site and social media Manager • Division Coordinators • Coaching staff Duties for most positions are in the “forms” section of our website. If you would like to see baseball ( hard ball) happen for your son or daughter at another division level, please gather other interested families and contact Shirley Deglan (Acting President) for more information visit our website under contacts. This would need to happen ASAP as the season begins in late April. Otherwise, players can seek registration in neighbouring associations (e.g., Vernon, Kamloops, Rutland, etc.).

Council awaits Downtown Orchard Park Terrace Parking Commission review Sandy Ridge Construction has

city staff, time to review the information in order to provide comment to council. City engineering and public works director Rob Niewenhuizen said this process would take two months. Reimer said she would also like to discuss the material with council’s representative on the Downtown Salmon Arm board, Coun. Debbie Cannon, who was absent. “I am feeling right now that I am not comfortable with this until we have some more discussion around it…,” said Reimer. Kentel said one of the survey comments indicated that two-hour parking allowed the respondent to have lunch and then a walk to the wharf. She said this doesn’t reflect the intent behind the parking trial. Coun. Ken Jamieson said he was disappoint-

Continued from front without prior notice or discussion with the affected merchants. In addition, the letter states these merchants were never consulted before the recommendation was brought to the parking commission by Downtown Salmon Arm. “Several merchants have been impacted negatively, some having lost from 10 to 40 per cent of their business,” the letter states. At Monday’s council meeting, Coun. Denise Reimer, who sits on the parking commission, said the commission had not yet had an opportunity to review the survey’s results, or the additional information provided by the merchants. She recommended the trial period be extended to allow the commission, and

She later told the Observer the final decision on whether to expand two-hour free parking to the entire downtown for a year falls on council’s shoulders. “It’s kind of a difficult thing for council here because we do want to be responsive to the downtown in what they feel is best… because they have their businesses down there. We try to respect that,” said Cooper, adding council will wait for feedback from the parking commission and proceed from there.

Directors ponder paycheques In Chase By Tracy Hughes OBSERvER STAFF

The Columbia Shuswap Regional District directors are wading into the political minefield that involves their own wallets. The board has unanimously agreed to review the current remuneration bylaw, including the method of payment to the elected directors. Rhona Martin, Area

E (Rural Sicamous) director, said there was significant discussion at the committee level about the issue and how remuneration rates compare with other regional districts. The ability of political boards to set salary rates can often pose a conundrum for politicians, who may not want to be seen as voting themselves a raise, which comes from taxpayer dollars.

Currently CSRD directors are paid in a variety of ways. The CSRD chair earns $23,114 per year in addition to the $11,128 which is the remuneration collected by all the directors of the board. Electoral area directors are also compensated $4,576 per year for travel costs. Directors are also paid to attend a variety of meetings, including CSRD board meetings,

at a rate of $188 per meeting. Other, more localized meetings, are paid out at a rate of $59 per meeting. Directors are also paid to attend conventions like the Union of BC Municipalities at a rate of $188 per day including travel time to and from the event. Mileage costs are also paid out at a rate of 15 cents per kilometre.

OpiniOn

FOR WHAT IT’S WORTH

Tracy Hughes

Canadian dream or myth I’m glad the federal Conservative Party of Canada knows what I’m going through – even if they seem to portray it otherwise. What I’m referring to is my feeling that it just keeps getting harder and harder to get ahead. My salary, like so many other people I know, has stagnated over the past decade or more but the costs of everything have not. Groceries, gas, insurance, MSP payments, hydro, taxes – all have seen a steady upward climb, which has eaten away at the salary that hasn’t seen the same upward trajectory. But now an internal report by the Conservatives, which was obtained under Freedom of Information legislation by the Canadian Press, and also written up in the Globe and Mail, shows that those in power in Ottawa have a pretty clear picture of the plight of Canadian middle-income families. The document was prepared by experts in Employment and Social Development Canada, which runs employment insurance programs. “The wages of middle-income workers have stagnated,” the report says, referring to the period from 1993 to 2007. “Middle income families are increasingly vulnerable to financial shocks,” the report goes on to state. My translation of this is that many more middle-income families are now living monthto-month, without any kind of savings to cushion any type of financial emergency. They are also relying on debt to get them through. Indeed, the report goes on to discuss how Canada’s middle class is mortgaging its future to stay afloat, making the Canadian dream, “a myth more than a reality.” This report actually stops short of the 2008 recession which, as I can attest, did a lot of damage to my family’s balance sheet. I can’t see that the recession provided the middle class with much in the way of economic benefit, to be sure. To be fair, the bulk of the time period referred to in the report was during a period when the Liberals were in office, however, in my mind, what is important is that the Conservatives are well aware of the plight of middle-income Canadians. In the Globe and Mail article, it quotes a spokesperson for Employment Minister Jason Kenney saying the Conservatives have reduced taxes and made life affordable for Canadian families, adding a “typical” family of four enjoys tax cuts of $3,400 per year thanks to Conservative policies. Their definition of typical is two working parents who earn $120,000 per year with two children to support. That may be a “typical” income in Ottawa, but not what I would consider “typical” in the Shuswap, where average incomes would be much lower. But I’m glad the Conservatives do have a handle on the fact that my “Canadian dream’ is being whittled away into a much more uncertain financial future. Now, I’m wondering what their plans are to turn this around. Or are we content to live with this Canadian myth instead?

Editorial

City needs to ponder parking problems Parking in the downtown core appears to pose a perplexing problem. A recent survey by Downtown Salmon Arm indicated more than 80 per cent support for a change to two-hour parking limits in the downtown core. The online survey also showed 74 per cent of those who responded were in opposition to the installation of parking meters in the downtown. The survey indicated a, “consistent theme that a one-hour parking limit is inadequate to browse downtown businesses following professional/personal care appointments, dining or grocery shopping.” Sounds pretty straightforward. The customers appear to want it, so why not extend the trial period for two-hour parking to the entire downtown and see if citizens put their money where their cars sit?

Well it seems the issue isn’t cut and dried. Business owners along Hudson, where the two-hour trial has taken place, are apparently unhappy with the change. In a letter to council, a group of merchants writes that the majority of them were never consulted by Downtown Salmon Arm prior to the trial period and would have opposed it. “This was a misleading move on their part,” they write, noting some merchants have lost between 10 to 40 per cent of their business. They started their own petition against the two-hour limit, with 15 Hudson Avenue businesses signing on. It appears there are only two clear messages on this issue. There are two very dissenting points of view in the mix. And city council better do its own research before anything else.

B.C.’s grizzly bear hunt isn’t going away BC VIEWS

Tom Fletcher

VICTORIA – A little-noticed protest tent sprouted up on the rain-soaked B.C. legislature grounds earlier this month. Green Party MLA Andrew Weaver spoke, asking whether B.C. residents would tolerate trophy hunting of killer whales. That would be a federal matter, but the point is vividly made about the onset of B.C.’s traditional spring grizzly bear hunt. It’s bigger this year, with Kootenay and Chilcotin wildlife management regions reopened after closures were enacted to preserve grizzly populations. In all, more than 1,000 grizzly bears are up for grabs. As with limited-entry hunts for deer and other animals, only about a third of those hunts are successful in an average year. The rally was sponsored by the Coastal First Nations Great Bear Initiative, the partnership with U.S.-directed environment groups Sierra Club, Greenpeace and ForestEthics that has become so influential in B.C. affairs. It produced a survey showing that 88 per cent of B.C. residents oppose trophy hunting, and its California experts calculate a 10-fold increase in value when bear hunting gives way to bear watching. The Raincoast Conservation Society has bought up half a dozen guiding territories on the remote B.C. coast. Combined with government restrictions, more than half the coast is now off limits to bear hunting. Naturally, activists want the whole province shut down. Wildlife management is the responsibility of Forests, Lands and Natural Resource Operations Minister Steve Thomson. He’s heard plenty from all sides and he maintains that bear watching and bear hunting will continue to coexist in B.C. Thomson has just introduced legislation to permit hunting guide territories to be operated by corporations as well as individuals. This is a long-sought change, allowing First Nations companies and others access to

bank loans to expand the industry. Non-resident hunters are required to hire a licensed guide-outfitter. Resident hunters pay $32 for a one-year hunting licence and $80 for a grizzly bear tag. Non-Canadians pay $180 for the licence and $1,030 for a chance at a grizzly. Hunting in general is making a comeback in B.C. Ministry data show hunting licenses had declined to 85,633 in 2006, but recovered to reach 97,828 by 2013. Thomson credits the work of the B.C. Wildlife Federation, which runs hunter training courses. Another program, Becoming an Outdoor Woman, has helped revive hunting and camping as a family activity, he said. Growing up hunting in northeastern B.C., I was taught not to shoot anything I’m not prepared to eat. I also remember the struggles to protect caribou and other endangered prey species that at one time had B.C. biologists resorting to shooting wolves from helicopters. The reopening of grizzly bear territories is marketed to urban residents as a horrible crime against nature. In fact, it’s a sign of increasing population. Problems in B.C. wildlife these days include the fragile mountain caribou herds of the Kootenays, which have been subject to intensive management including relocation of animals. The ministry has also begun a five-year study of declining moose populations across a vast area of the Interior subject to salvage logging in the wake of the pine beetle epidemic. Vancouver media recently highlighted a grizzly hunt by NHL journeyman Clayton Stoner. Typically, U.S. enviros promoted the deceased bear by name, “Cheeky,” and photos showed its carcass stripped to the skeleton by scavengers after Stoner left with the hide, paws and head. They don’t mention that the same fate awaits animals that die of starvation or other natural causes, which increase when animals overpopulate. As with many B.C. issues, there’s a cartoon version sold to impressionable city dwellers, and then there’s the truth.

Embrace the Olympic ideal Scientific teams at CERN’s particle accelerator employ massive amounts of electrical energy in a 27-kilometre ring of superconducting magnets and smash atoms into their elementary particles in order to unlock the secrets of the universe. Athletic teams around the world expend large amounts of biological energy in sporting activities associated with the five Olympic rings and push the limits of mental stamina in order to unlock the potential of the human body. Mankind’s boundless cu-

riosity, incredibility creativity and dogged determination – if benevolently focused – are mankind’s best hope for our future. The core values of the Olympic movement are excellence, friendship and respect. The motto is Citius – Altius – Fortius, which is Latin for Faster – Higher – Stronger. After being exposed to two weeks of passionate competition, golden smiles and touching tears, one might wonder why world leaders don’t embrace the Olympic spirit and join together to pursue

international peace faster, raise standards of justice higher, and grow interpersonal relationships stronger. There is however a dark reality behind Sochi’s dazzling make-believe spectacle. President Vladimir Putin was compelled to promise his Winter Games would be secured by a “ring of steel” and 40,000 security personnel.

Economy improving Predictions: Growth to occur in region, province.

By Martha Wickett OBSERVER STAFF

Like Shuswap weather, the economic outlook is looking more spring-like as time goes on. To a sold-out forum of 120 people, Bryan Yu, economist with the Central 1 Credit Union, told his audience the B.C. economy is on an upswing and, similarly, the Salmon Arm economy looks positive. Yu was speaking at the Salmon Arm Economic Development Society’s Fourth Annual Business Forum, held Feb. 19 at the Prestige Harbourfront Resort. Michael Wagner, CEO of Salmon Arm Savings and Credit Union, said his financial institution uses Yu’s services to help make SASCU’s investment decisions. The Central 1 Credit Union is the umbrella organization for the credit union system in B.C. and Ontario. Things to look forward to? Yu summarized his presentation with five points: • the B.C. economy will grow this year based on economic momentum in the U.S.; • major projects and investments will fuel strong expansion in 2015 onwards; • the Salmon Arm economy has stabilized; • tourism, forestry and demographics will support economic growth in the region; and • housing will remain “subdued” because of excess inventory but demand will start to pick up. Yu said the global economy is improving. Europe is now out of recession, after six quarters of seeing the economy contract. However, the unemployment rate there is still in the double digits, with youth unemployment high. Canada didn’t see the major drop in the economy in 2013 that the U.S. and UK did. “It wasn’t the greatest year for the economy, but it was still positive in terms of growth,” Yu said.

Things were a little worse in B.C. than Canada as a whole, with sectors weakened by global malaise, he said. Those affected included mining and oil-and-gas investment as well as government services hit by budgetary cutbacks, which translated into a slowdown in “housing, consumption and domestic growth.” B.C. has seen some migration flowing in from Ontario and the Atlantic provinces, but that hasn’t kept pace with the loss to Alberta and Saskatchewan, where wages are higher. It’s expected, however, that “Alberta swagger” will boost activity in this region, Yu said. The feeling of economic well-being may translate into discretionary purchases – such as real estate – in the area. “Overall, tourism in B.C. has been trending higher,” he said. Signs of improvements in the U.S. are positive for B.C. The U.S. economy grew more than three per cent in the last two quarters of 2013, consumer finances are in better shape, the housing market is recovering, the country is becoming more self-sufficient in energy and interest rates

kin o o

remain low, he said. However, “while numbers are positive, they’re still relatively weak.” He said Canada is still dependent on U.S. exports and, as the economy improves, they should experience growth. The Canadian dollar should be 87 cents by the middle to the end

Bryan Yu economist of the decade, Yu predicted, which will be good for Canadian businesses. The inflation rate in Canada is low, he said, so it will be July of 2015 before interest rates increase. “Short term rates are to remain fairly low but long term will start picking up.” Yu said the number of businesses in Salmon Arm has held steady since the recession, while the population peaked in 2009 at about

17,500 and has seen a “very modest” drop since then. While the number of people 50 to 55 and 60 to 69 years has seen the biggest growth, the largest decrease has come in the 40 to 49 age group as well as those 10 to 14 years old. The group 25 to 34 has seen increases. He said the regional population is expected to expand over the next five years but annual growth will be less than one per cent. The seniors’ share of the population is high in Salmon Arm at 24.2 per cent, but not as high as Qualicum Beach at 47.2. Overall in B.C. it’s 15.6 per cent, while it’s 14.8 Canada-wide. Pensions make up a large component of regional income, one of the factors that support economic growth, along with tourism and forestry. “I think the local economy will be quite positive going forward, driven by things like the lumber market. The region’s quite lucky in a sense, the mountain pine beetle didn’t have as much of an impact compared to other areas. The prices of lumber have shot up quite a lot in the past year.”

By Tracy Hughes OBSERVER STAFF

The Columbia Shuswap Regional District will be examining the issue of road rescue services and how they could be operated in the region following the dissolution of the Falkland Road Rescue Society due to a lack of membership and funding. The issue was sparked by a situation where, when there was no one to respond to a road rescue call in Falkland, a woman who had been in a single-vehicle collision was trapped in her car for an hour waiting to be extracted. Eventually a road rescue unit from Vernon was brought in to assist. Following that, the City of Vernon agreed to provide road rescue services to that area on a temporary basis until

another solution could be found. A similar situation has also taken place in the North Shuswap, where Chase rescue has taken on duties in that area. The CSRD study is going to look at options for road rescue and its potential costs throughout the region. “There is a general trend to move away from societies to fire departments providing that service, so that is one of the things we will be look at,” Darcy Mooney, operations manager, told the board. CSRD staff will be assisted in developing the report by Golden’s fire chief Ken McClure, who has been involved with a pilot project with the province for providing road rescue in that area. CSRD directors,

however, were concerned with the larger implications to their budgets, as it appears no level of government wishes to be responsible for the services. Municipalities are arguing provincial responsibility in fund-

Lecture series planned for college By Martha Wickett OBSERVER STAFF

A well-known Salmon Arm citizen is sponsoring a lecture series at Okanagan College that has left college officials ecstatic. “We’re thrilled – we’ve been trying to get a guest lecture and workshop series off the ground for a few years,” Jim Barmby, regional dean, Shuswap-Revelstoke, told the Observer. Dan MacQuarrie will be sponsoring workshops and lectures that focus on three areas: • increasing awareness about aboriginal culture and history; • the envi-

ronment; and • social justice and peace. The first lecture, on Wednesday, March 12, 7 p.m. at the Salmar Classic, will be presented by Dr. James Wood and entitled, The 144th Battalion, C.E.F: The First World War and Indigenous Rights in Canada. It will focus on the 4,000 soldiers of indigenous descent who served in the Canadian Expeditionary Force. Barmby referred to the series during his talk at the Salmon Arm Economic Development Society’s Business Forum Feb. 19. He also mentioned

the 20 acres donated by Jerry Thompson. Barmby said the college has two main goals: to increase sustainability of the college by increasing enrolment, which will mean becoming a destination college with niche programs such as environmental studies and agriculture. The second goal is to create a downtown campus, a communitydriven plan. To that end, the college will sign a memorandum of agreement with the University of the Fraser Valley in March to explore delivering some of its programs in Salmon Arm.

the volunteer road rescue members, who often must deal with horrific accident scenes. Salmon Arm director Chad Eliason, who was at the board due to the absence of Debbie Cannon, cautioned directors about assuming too much responsibility for the service without funding from other levels of government. “Downloading is a slippery slope. We, in Salmon Arm, know the value we receive from our volunteer firefighters and I would be cautious about stretching them further.”

Donation drive: Event Saturday for women’s shelter. By Martha Wickett OBSERVER STAFF

The Random Acts of Kindness - Salmon Arm Group is at it again. Last summer the Facebook group, spearheaded by resident Michelle Eddy, jumped to action when they learned of the need at the Shuswap Area Family Emergency (SAFE) Society’s women’s shelter for a variety of items. The community

responded, providing Eddy with a truck-full of articles for the shelter. Eddy is back with her big blue truck for the Spring Top-up for SAFE, which will be parked in the Save-OnFoods parking lot on Saturday, March 1 from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. Articles the shelter is in need of include: toilet paper, Kleenex, paper towel, HE laundry detergent, snacks

and items for children’s lunches, conditioner – not shampoo, sanitizer, journals and diaries for the women to write in, baggies, garbage bags and tampons. Eddy said that while residents donate to the SAFE society on their own, “people really love the impact of coming together...” Last summer it took six people to unload her truck, which was packed to the brim.

“The women’s shelter and SAFE Society is really close to my heart for personal reasons...,” Eddy says. “I had been in a very similar situation many years ago, I really empathize with going through the transition of leaving a situation with domestic violence behind, it can be very hard, especially when you have children... It’s good not to have to worry about the basics and incidentals.”

ARIES (March 21-April 19): You have a big dream and it embodies something that will free you from the self-limiting past or anything that is holding you back from burgeoning. Self-fulfilment comes to you by aligning your future goals with an aspired vocation or a total career change. TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Great support comes to you from a new group of individuals that you have never considered right for you until now. It is in this environment that you will find the proper tools and assertion to go ahead and do something out of your character. GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Your sense of pride and gratitude comes to you in the form of an alluring and solid increase in your net worth or in the accumulation of your possessions. Don’t be afraid to take a leap of faith in your career sphere by settling a bold move. Trust your intuition. CANCER (June 21-July 22): It’s time to come out of your shell and to declare your personal freedom! Your higher consciousness is ready to tap into a spiritual insight and let you envision a new way of being you. This representation depicts someone willing to explore without the fear of failing. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Open up your heart and let emotional transformation do its magic. Deeply rooted feelings will seek some healing. You will want to generate a healthier paradigm when handling money matters and especially the ones you share with a partner. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): You will evoke the need to connect with a significant other on a more soulful level. Leave the flaws outside the circle of trust and don’t be afraid to be emotionally expressive. Find only those shortages that can keep your partnership in perfect balance.

Sudoku

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): You have an eye for detail and this is what you will seek from the flow of your work environment as it counts to you more significantly now. Whether in a group or solo, you are willing to roll up the sleeves and prove everyone of your potential. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Turning back time and injecting an air of youth to your life seems more than possible to you now. It is through this reassured and quiet confidence that you will attract a potential new lover. Artistic endeavours may also play a major role for you this week. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): When it comes to your personal space, you want nothing but the promise of an enhanced comfort and well-being. The more material goods you have accumulated for yourself and the closer your family ties are, the more content you are with your inner self. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): You are more connected to the world of communication and speech this week. A bolt of inspiration will entice you to act on your ideas and perhaps throw in some exciting business ideas. It’s a great week to host important meetings or make a crucial presentation. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): A few changes made around your routine could mean a more efficient accumulation of wealth. You seek abundance and you might as well get it. Financial security and personal comfort have to be fabricated with something that you identify yourself with. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): You will position your own happiness as your top priority. This is your opportunity to redefine your sense of self and to expose a healthier image of your persona. A child or a lover could contribute greatly to your overall makeup.

The board of trade, this week in 1934, was considering a Kelowna resolution calling for a tax to be imposed on all catalogues issued by the T.

The board was also considering a brief from the Canadian Association of Broadcasters which was seeking support for a move to have the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation declared illegal. The broadcasters wanted all radio turned over to private interests and a $2 licence fee turned over to assist the private stations.

Prevent COLDS & FLUS

Coldest Night of the Year

James murraY/observer

Danielle and Karen Konotopski, with Chase and Fly, head out with more than 200 other participants at the start of the third annual Coldest Night of the Year Walk held Saturday evening to raise funds for the Salvation Army and Second Harvest Food Bank. Event organizer Chris Moore thanks the crowd prior to the walk. The 250 participants raised more than $40,000.

NPN 80036946. To helps immune function. The only cold medicine with a money-back guarantee. Four medical doctors that wrote in their book SHARK LIVER OIL that you can prevent colds and flus. Dr. Hubert wrote since his own highschool age children took shark liver oil they have no more colds. Dr. Haimes’s grandchildren have been taking shark liver oil for 6 months and he writes they have no more infection of any kind. Read many testimonials on the Bell website: “I had 3-4 flus every winter. None last 5 years.” “Amazing! All of us have no more colds.” “No more asthma, no puffer, no cold, no flus, changed my life”. In North America this is a by-product from the restaurant industry. No sharks are caught for their liver or their cartilage. < No more colds, also my eczema disappeared! Last 2 years I would get colds often due to stress as I am an athlete and body builder. After starting Bell Shark Liver Oil #51 I had no more colds or even a sign of a cold. Dennis Tudos, 23, Kent, WA

Virux Viral Infections

#51

NPN 80042655. Helps to reduce the recurrence of cold sores. By Dr. Chakib Hammoud, M.H., PhD. Helps with sexually transmitted diseases, cold sores and influenza. 90% success rate per Dr. C. Hammoud. African plant base that has the ability to inhibit virus replication in our bodies. By shutting the replication down, the virus becomes inactive and therefore is not causing the body further harm. May help with HIV. Truthful statements from real people: <Registered Nurse’s discovery! I’m happy to have made the discovery that if I feel the first signs of a cold or flu like symptoms, I take Virux Viral Infection. It stops it right away. This product has been a great alternative. We know allopathic medicine does not have a cure for viruses, but nature does, using God’s pharmacy is the way to go. Janna Dodds, 45, Clifford, ON <First product that worked! I have been getting cold sores a number of times a year and spent a fortune on many products that did not help me. Your Bell Virux Viral Infections helped me so much. I love it. Shannon B. Evans, 40, Panama City Beach, FL <No more cold sores, no more colds! My kids had colds and when I felt a cold coming on as well I started taking Bell Virux Viral Intections and the cold stayed #42 away. Another great bonus about this product is I haven’t had a cold sore after I started taking it. I was getting them so often and now they stopped. Thanks a tonne! Carrie Shoonbaert, 32, Deloraine, MB

Inflammexx

NPN 80041845 An anti-inflammatory to help joint pain. By Dr. Chakib Hammoud, M.H.,PhD.

People write us it helps with all types of inflammation: < For the last 7-8 years I had inflammation in my spine L4 & L5, back and neck muscles that was unbearable and almost crippled me. After starting #70 for 30 days it gave me relief like a miracle. Most pain has disappeared and I can function again. Heather Tremblay, 53, Medicine Hat, AB < Had “Charlie horses” bumps on my legs that were very painful. I tried everything. After taking #70 the bumps diminished and I had no more pain. Mary Griego, 67, Tijeras, NM <I had shingles for 30 years. After taking #70 for my shingles I discovered it also relieved my frozen shoulders. I can now raise my arms above my head, exercise and do all work again. I am ecstatic. Lovorn M. Bowe, 60, Roanoke, VA <Big difference in chronic nerve pain I suffered for 15 years all over my body, especially sciatica, osteoporosis, gout. I had great relief within 1 week. Cecile Sager, 69, Verner, ON <Inflamed achilles tendon relief in 2 weeks. I am back on the court playing basket #70 ball. Inflammexx is amazing. Alan R. Spady, 67, Bothell, WA

ARTHRITIS NPN 80042283 Helps to relieve joint pain associated with osteoarthritis.

Wednesday, February 26, 2014 Salmon Arm Observer

Medals earned in skiing, judo and ringette at Winter Games Salmon Arm brought home a share of the hardware from the 2014 BC Winter Games, which were held in Mission from Feb. 20 to 23. The Games included participants from across B.C. in 18 different sports. This year, four skiers from the Larch Hills Nordic Club qualified to be a part of the Games. For the individual sprint race, the team earned three bronze medals. David Bakker took third for the Juvenile boys, Rachel May placed third for the Juvenile girls, and Konrad Van Varseveld placed third for the Midget boys. Aiden Hepburn also raced in the Midget boys category and earned 11th place. In the individual start race, Larch Hills took three silver medals. David Bakker earned silver for the Juvenile boys, Rachel May earned silver for the Juvenile girls, and Konrad Van Varseveld earned silver for the Midget boys. Aiden Hepburn took ninth place for the Midget boys. To round out the weekend, the relay team of David Bakker, Rachel May, Konrad Van Varseveld from Larch Hills and Alana Brittin from the Revelstoke Nordics won the gold medal. In ringette action, Zone 2, Thompson Okanagan, brought home a gold medal with Emily Williams from Salmon Arm on the team. Williams was noted as a valuable player helping Zone 2 win the gold, while her mother, Christine, was an assistant coach for the team. Other Salmon Arm ringette players were part of a team that placed fourth, after losing a heartbreaker in the bronze medal game. Those players included Deanna Asham, Courtney Bacon, Jaicee Clifford, Emilie Petryshen and Adrianna WilSee Silver on page A19

Off to Canadian championship Salmon Arm curlers and coach are headed to the Canadian Senior Women’s Curling Championship after winning the BC Provincial Championship Feb. 22 in Courtney. Sandra Jenkins and Kate Horne playing third and lead for the Penny Shantz team ran up a 7-0 record in the round robin and finished it off with a 4-3 win in the final when Shantz drew through a port to the four foot. Shantz, who won gold at the 1988 Olympics with Linda Moore, curls out of Parksville. Also on the team is Debbie Pulak from Nanaimo and Salmon Arm coach, Darryl Horne. Shantz and Sandra Jenkins are longtime friends from Alberta days and have hooked up a few times in the past. The team heads to Yellowknife for the Canadian Championship March 21 to 30. The winner will represent Canada at the 2015 World Championship. Jenkins has been to five Canadian Championships (three Ladies,

Kate Horne has been to seven Canadian Championships (six Ladies, one Mixed) and one World Championship (Ladies). Darryl, Kate’s spouse, has been to nine Canadian Championships as a coach (one Junior, eight Ladies)

and three World Championships (one Junior, two Ladies). This is the first Senior Canadian Championship for all of them. All of the championships for Jenkins, Kate and Darryl were out of Alberta, so this is their first time representing BC. Darryl says the Seniors games might be

slightly lower key than the Scotties, but they’ll still be working hard to earn a berth at the Worlds. Jenkins, Darryl and Kate practise a lot at the Salmon Arm Curling Club. Says Darryl: “We spend quite a bit of time on the ice and they throw rocks at me.”

Marshall to face Olympians in Finland Salmon Arm crosscountry skier Alysson Marshall continued racing in the Baltics last week with the Canadian B Team for Scandinavian Cup races. She was top Cana-

dian in the four races which had full Norwegian, Swedish and Finnish contingents and multiple top 10 World Cup skiers to make for fierce competition. In Madona, Latvia,

Marshall was 11th in the sprint qualifiers and finished the knockout rounds in 11th. The heats were very tight and competitive with crashes and aggressive moves which Marshall found to be great fun.

The next day she was 18th in the 10-kilometre skate. The tour wrapped up in Otepaa, Estonia where she was 16th in the heats and 17th in the sprints. She was 19th in the

mass start classic 10km event. Marshall moves on to Lahti, Finland for World Cup races next weekend where the 14-member team will include seven of the Sochi Olympians.

The SAS junior Golds season ended on the weekend, placing fifth in the Okanagan Championships. The Golds opened the tournament with a 47-25 victory over the OKM Huskies. The game was tight until Jared Sharp and Dawson Mayes combined for five three pointers in the third quarter to give Salmon Arm a comfortable lead. Sharp finished with 11points and was named the player of the game. Valleyview tipped off against the Golds in the semifinal but the Vikings proved to be the better team winning 50-19. Salmon Arm played solid defence but struggled to score. Colby Thiessen was named the game star for his defensive intensity. Salmon Arm’s poor shooting followed them into their final game which resulted in a 43-24 loss to South Kam. Aaron Hicks was rewarded with the game star T-shirt for his defence and rebounding.

’Backs face do-or-die match against Merritt With their season hanging in the balance and a massive Wednesday night showdown in Merritt looming, Salmon Arm SilverBacks assistant coach Brandon West says his players need to have courage and must show they can compete. The Gorillas were slapped with overtime losses Friday to the Vernon Vipers in a 3-2 result and Saturday 4-3 to the visiting Merritt Centennials. The loss to the Cents was marked by a controversial game-winning goal credited to Sebastien Pare that appeared to go in off his glove. Dwelling on that will not get the SilverBacks to the BCHL playoffs. Their fate is in their hands and it may be decided tonight if they allow Merritt to earn even one point in the standings. “No one is going to feel sorry for us for the position that we’re in,” said West. “We’ve had some absolutely horrendous bounces go against us but we keep believing in our room and we’ve worked hard. “There’s no one in

this room that’s called it quits yet; we’re staying alive here. Giving ourselves an opportunity to get in the playoffs, go to the Fred Page Cup… we have that chance like everyone else.” The cold facts are Salmon Arm trails Merritt by five points for the final playoff spot. Salmon Arm has three games remaining and by winning all of them, they could pass Merritt in the standings provided the Centennials don’t earn even one more point. A tie in the standings would go in Merritt’s favour as they have 29 wins to Salmon Arm’s 25 so the ’Backs cannot match them in total wins, which is the first BCHL tie-breaker criteria. Keeping the players’ upbeat despite the recent slide has been the job of the veteran players and leadership core. West says those individuals, including captain Blake Box and alternates Brendan and Jeff Kennedy, won’t let their teammates fold the tent. “You look at them to see how they respond

in certain situations… they’ve stepped up immensely and keep doing things that make us successful. If they keep playing the way we need to play, everyone else will step on board.” One who has thrived in this crucial stretch of the schedule is young defenceman Cole McCaskill. He was given loads of ice time against Merritt Saturday and responded with a huge tying power-play goal late in regulation that ensured a single point. That point, right now, is what’s keeping Salmon Arm’s playoff chances alive. “He’s an impact defenceman as a 17-yearold,” said West of McCaskill, who was also the team’s BCHL academic all-star. “(Former SilverBack) Shane Hanna was an impact defenceman at 17, same with Brayden Sherbinin and he just happens to be one of those guys. He keeps getting better and better.” They’ll need that to continue Wednesday night in Merritt. The small ice surface

Salmon Arm also has two games against Penticton this weekend. Friday at 7 p.m. at Shaw Centre and Saturday at 6 p.m. in Penticton.

authority, is “an extremely sensitive recording of the composer’s later mentality.” Elgar himself, when asked the ‘meaning’ of the piece, replied simply, “A man’s attitude to life.” Gerald Finzi, born in London in 1901, became one of the most characteristically English composers of his generation. The Romance for Strings was written in 1928. Gustav Holst was an English composer, arranger and teacher. Best known for his orchestral suite The Planets, he composed a large number of works across a range of genres, although none achieved comparable success. His distinctive compositional style was the product of many influences, including the English folksong revival of the early 20th century. Holst worked on his Cotswolds Symphony in 1899 and 1900 and it was first performed in 1902. An interesting sidebar to this performance is the fact that a performing edition of this work only became available in 2006, which means that it may not have been heard for a century. This may be the Canadian premiere. Tickets are available at www.kamloopslive. ca and at Wearabouts. Tickets may also be purchased at the door.

The Mandela Symposium: Respect Lives Here takes place March 5 and 6 and will introduce participants to a restorative approach that promotes taking accountability over placing blame, making a personal commitment over finding excuses, and building community over seeding discontent. Shuswap Settlement Services and other community partners have been seeking a new model to replace an oftentimes retributive approach that seeks to establish blame and to lobby others with the authority to impose change. The event will be facilitated by Charles Holmes, an educator who has worked with

Madison a little girl who needs your help

Silent Auction & Bake Sale Friday, February 28th

The Mall at Piccadilly Help Madison get the care that she needs to become as healthy and as happy as she can be!

Madison Cox has an extremely rare disease. Congenital Disorder of Glycosylation Type 1a (CDG-1A) is so rare that Madison is one of only four children in the entire country who are living with the condition. As a result there is very little in the way of treatments or therapy offered in Canada, let alone in the Shuswap area. Madison’s Parents, Brent Cox and Melissa Little, are organizing an event to raise funds to send Madison to California. There she can get the proper testing and consult with specialists on possible therapies that could help Madison to live a long and healthy life. Friday, February 28th is National Rare Disease Day, an appropriate date for the silent auction and a bake sale which will be held in the Mall at Piccadilly. Local businesses are being petitioned for donations to the silent action and the kitchens at Shuswap Chefs and a couple of the local churches stand ready to help prepare items for the sale. Melissa and Brent ask that if anyone has anything to donate to the silent auction to contact her at 250-463-3681. “We need to get all donations by February 21st,” Melissa says. “We are thankful and we truly appreciate anything that can be donated. “We are in the midst of finding a lawyer to make it a formal trust account, but money donations to the fund can be put into our informal trust. The account currently is a savings with the TD Bank under my name, Melissa Little. The account number is 93660 004 6331161. “Alternatively you can contact me and I can make arrangements for pick up.” Melissa and Brent also want to give a big thank you to everyone who has already donated and everyone who is helping with organization. ““We really appreciate it!”

You will always be a special part of our life, in our hearts. Your loving wife, Annie Dad, we miss you; Derrick, Valerie & Jeff. WAVIE MARIE (DARLING) SMYER October 24, 1912 - February 8, 2014 Wavie Marie (Darling) Smyer was born in Kenova, West Virgina. In September 1943 Wavie enlisted and proudly served as a WAVE in the U.S. Navy during WWII. In August 1944 Wavie and Albert C. Smyer, a sailor in the U.S. Navy, were married, and in September 1945 Wavie was honorably discharged. After living in the Bronx and Hicksville NY, Wavie’s family moved to Poulsbo, WA in 1965. Shortly after moving to Poulsbo, Wavie began working as a nurse’s aide at Ebenezer and then Martha & Mary Nursing homes until her retirement in 1988 when she and Albert moved to Salmon Arm, B.C. Canada. In November 2011, Wavie moved back to Washington State to live with her son’s family. Wavie was preceded in death by her husband Albert C. Smyer, her brothers: Arthur Joseph, Lawrence, Paul, Virgil, & Clarence; her sisters: Irene, Dorothy, Anna Lee, & Iona Mae. Wavie is survived by her brother John Darling of Lorain, OH.; her 2 daughters: Frances Cole (Russell) of Prince Edward Island (Canada) and Candace Green (Tom) of San Jose, CA; her son Timothy Smyer (Rebekah) of Edmonds, WA; her 9 grandchildren: Cheri Green Traenkle, Peter Cole, Traci Green Nawahine, James Cole, Kristin Green Thomas, Shehalee Smyer, Payton Smyer, Savanna Smyer, and Shyanne Smyer; her 12 great grandchildren, with 2 on the way; and 1 great-great grandchild. As the first born, Wavie loved and cared for many of her brothers and sisters. She will be remembered for her caring nature and love for her family and friends. Wavie had a tireless work habit and enjoyed gardening, baking, and knitting. Wavie will be deeply missed, but we are comforted that she now sits in the light of God and in the midst of his pure love.

Email condolences and share memories through Charles obituary at www. fischersfuneralservices.com. MARR, MARION GRACE It is with sadness that we announce the peaceful passing of Marion on Feb. 11, 2014 at Hillside Village. Born on July 3, 1914, Marion was the second youngest of eight children born to Ed and Mima Paynter. The pioneer Paynter family farmed near Tantallon Sask. When Mom was 12 years old the family moved to Vancouver where she attended the Fairview School of Commerce and graduated in 1932. While unable to find suitable employment for which she was trained Mom always found work to help the family during the 1930’s. Her focused, perseverant nature served her well during those difficult times. She was a planner with vision. No job was too big. Her sisters said she was somewhat stubborn but lovingly so. Marion met Sid Marr on a Vancouver street car while traveling to work. They were married on Sept 9, 1939 until Dad’s passing in 2002. They made an incredible team. With Mom’s ability to visualize and Dad’s wood working skills house renovations and alterations were the norm. Family gatherings organized by Mom were frequent and large. Summers were a special time in the Marr family with camping trips throughout B.C. and Washington State. In 1975 Marion and Sid moved from their long term home in North Vancouver to Salmon Arm to be closer to their children and their families. Mom was an artist. As children we were very familiar with smell of oil paints and turpentine. We knew the difference between pastels, charcoals, and watercolours. Again Dad would help with frame construction, stretching canvas and hanging pictures at shows and galleries. Mom’s paintings hang in many Salmon Arm homes and will be a cherished legacy for all family members. In later years she worked mostly with silk paintings. Many were done well after her eyesight began to fail. She is survived by her sons Allan (Karen), their children Shannon Seed (Greg) and Cameron (Jennifer), and Brian (Rochelle) their children Braden (Leila), Travis and Daidri. Great gramma will be missed by Graeme, Evan, Reid, Meghan, Malcolm, Kathleen (Brendan), Piper, Maylani, and Renn. The family would like to thank the staff at Picadilly Terrace, Hillside Village and Dr. Du Plessis for the excellent care provided. At Mom’s request there will be no service. A spring time family gathering will be arranged. Email condolences may be sent through Marion’s obituary at www.bowersfuneralservice.com

Obituaries

BAUKJE “BETTY” vanSOLKEMA Mom was born July 31, 1921 to Lieuwe and Rinske Luinenburg in Katlijk, Friesland, The Netherlands. It happened to be on her father’s birthday. She was the sixth of ten children. Mom told of when she was little, the thunder and lightning would be so severe, her mother would get all the children out of bed, ready to escape. She recalled one particular night when they could see fires burning on all four sides of their house, all started by lightning. They sat around the table with their coats on ready to escape. In the winter, they skated on a nearby lake. This was one of her favorite memories. The wind would blow them across the lake but coming back was always a cold skate into the wind. The war started when Mom was 18. She was working at a TB Sanitarium with 2 girls who became good friends. It was through them that she met Willem. They were married Feb. 14, 1946. Their first home was a 4 plex in which other family members lived. Sjieuwkje (Susan) was born in 1946. Willem left for army duty in Indonesia when she was 10 months old. He would be gone for 3 years. Rinske (Rita) was born in 1951. Life in post-war Holland was difficult. They decided to emigrate to Canada for a better life and the opportunity to own their own farm one day. This was a very big decision but they never looked back. They didn’t know if they would ever see their family again and knew very little English. After a long voyage by sea and train ride across Canada, they arrived to their destination, Grindrod, in Feb. 1952. It was one of the coldest winters in Canadian history. Don and Edith McEwen were their sponsors and Dad was in their employment for the next ten years. Life in Canada was good to the family. Louis was born in 1954 followed by Owen in 1958. Mom came home 2 times on Dad’s birthday with a baby boy. Gary was born in 1962. They bought their own farm in 1957. There were many struggles but they worked hard and loved their farm. Mom always had a large garden which would supply the table for the whole year. It would be hard to guess how many socks and mittens she made over the years or how many dozens olliebollen that were consumed by family and friends. Mom and Dad had a deep faith, and their church family meant a lot to them. Gary took over the family farm and Mom and Dad moved just south of the farm. They were able to travel to Holland as well as visit family who were now scattered a bit. In 2005 they moved to Salmon Arm to the Shuswap Lodge. Dad passed away soon after the move. Mom then moved to the Hillside Village where she resided till her passing. The family is grateful to the many, who lovingly looked after her for almost 9 years. Their kindness has been much appreciated. She is survived by her sister, Lisk Keuning, and a brother and his wife, Bauke and Hendrika Luinenburg as well as: Susan (Len) Bagley, Doris, David and Allan, Rita (Paul) Swanson, Ranae , Amy and Albin Louis (Debbie) van Solkema; William, Lisa, Danny, Leilani and Kaitlyn, Owen (Brenda) vanSolkema; Cameron and Lloyd; Gary (Angela) vanSolkema; Bryce and Christine and numerous greatgrandchildren. For those who wish, donations can be made in Mom’s memory to The Good Samaritan Canada, Hillside Village and earmarked for Recreation/ Gardens or the charity of choice. A Memorial service for Betty will take place on Thursday February 27, 2014 at 2pm from Bowers Funeral Chapel, Salmon Arm with Pastor Bill Kiesman officiating. A reception will follow the service in the Mountainside room allowing friends and family to continue sharing memories. Online condolences may be sent through Betty’s obituary at www.bowersfuneralservice.com
