Workshop identifies ways to welcome immigrants
Twenty-six Welcoming Community Partners representing a cross section of Shuswap organizations and enterprises joined in a workshop on February 5th with twelve immigrant newcomers, to explore the barriers to inclusion that immigrants experience, and to identify actions needed to overcome the barriers. The goal was to come up with a Welcoming Shuswap Action Plan for the first year of the project. “If local industry cannot entice the skilled immigrant workers they require to move to the Shuswap, then the industry is forced to relocate to where the skilled workers are,” said Bernie Desrosiers, president of Shuswap Settlement Service, which serves as the lead organization for the Welcoming Communities Program. Recruitment remains the task of local government and businesses. The focus of WelcomeShuswap is to create the conditions that will keep immigrants from moving on after they arrive. Desrosiers says that not only must employers ensure that immigrant employees feel welcome in their workplace, but that their spouses and family feel welcome in the community, pointing out that his family doctor from Romania recently left Enderby because his wife felt unhappy. Elderly seniors and adolescent children are even more likely to experience difficulty adjusting. Currently, 88% of immigrants to BC locate in the lower mainland. With the emerging markets of China, India and Brazil, this places other communities in BC at a competitive advantage. Welcoming
designdilemmas by Linda Erlam
Blinds 101
When I started in this design business, I went to work at Chintz and Company in Calgary. I learned about high-end fabric there, and how to use my school-smarts when designing window treatments. I learned about table-scaping and I learned what makes good furniture. After Chintz, I worked at Cricklewood Interiors in Calgary. They sell high-end furniture there too; have a full design service; and were, at that time, one of the most successful retailers of Hunter Douglas window covering products in Alberta. I learned about blinds and shades at Cricklewood. We didn’t sell just Hunter Douglas, we sold the other top four or five blinds and shades products as well. Now that I have expanded my services to include Hunter Douglas window coverings, I have gone through their extensive training program and just last week I got my Certified Professional Dealer designation. To get this designation, I had to attend about 35 hours of training learning about each of their products. I learned how the products work, what their features are and what Design Dilemma each product is geared toward solving. I learned how the new products are installed (I’m a Certified Professional Installer, too) and how to trouble-shoot problems. My head was spinning and I’m not kidding. So, the upside is, I learned that there have been a lot of advances in the “hard” (manufactured) window coverings industry in the last few years. Not just Hunter Douglas; all the manufacturers have made huge advances. The hardware is sleeker than ever before and almost any shade can be fitted for remote control without having to get an electrician. The fabrics are stronger and last longer and best of all, there are many, many more fabric choices. Textures are magnificent and the colours are truly reflective of today’s design esthetic. There have also been significant changes in the insulating and UV protecting properties of many of the products. For example, the Architella shading is the highest R-value rated shade on the market, with a rating of R-7 to R-8. In the spirit of sharing, I’m going to write a few columns over the next while about the different types of manufactured window coverings. We will look at what the differences are between the different styles, what problems they are made to solve, what to look for when you are about to purchase, and hopefully give you enough info to make the right decision. The new website is coming along nicely - take a peek: Designsewlutions.ca
Communities is one of several government initiatives aimed at assisting in correcting this imbalance. It remains the responsibility of local governments and communities to choose to capitalize on the opportunity such initiatives provide. Barriers identified in the workshop varied from social isolation, to issues of public transportation, housing, employment, language training, settlement and access to services. In many cases the identified solutions were to assist New Canadians in accessing existing community services with the aid of information materials written in simple English, translation services, orientation sessions, peer mentors/companions, and cultural cel-

ebration. The goal is to foster social integration and independence. Community enterprises can assist in building employment skills and providing Canadian workplace experience through immigrant internships and volunteer programs. Providing cross-cultural training for employees and performing practices and procedures audits to identify hidden systemic barriers helps to ensure immigrant clients and/or employees are treated equally. Organizations interested in partnering in the WelcomeShuswap project or individuals wishing to volunteer to work with immigrants should email welcomeshuswap@shaw.ca or phone 250-804-2726.

During a long Canadian winter many people often find they begin to feel their energy levels are not as high as they would like. Our shorter days and lack of sunlight exposure can add to the winter doldrums; so, here are three simple and proactive things that can be done to increase your energy levels. One of the seemingly counterintuitive ways to boost your energy is to start burning more energy through exercise. While those who are inactive may believe they do not have the energy to get off the couch and start a regular light exercise program; in actual fact it is exactly the opposite. The more you exercise, the more energy you will have for the rest of your day! Just ask yourself, “Who has the most energy, the person who works out every day, or the person who includes no physical activity in their daily lives?” Start easy and set some realistic goals for your own fitness level, but start now! Sleep is another essential part of the energy puzzle. Good sleep is essential for your body to heal and restore. A simple way to improve this is to start a habit of turning off all the stimulating electronics in the house and going to bed 30 minutes earlier than you normally do. Even if you don’t fall asleep immediately, at least you are giving your body a chance to relax in a calm and quiet environment. With this earlier bedtime, start a ritual of getting up earlier in the morning. There is a direct link between productivity and early risers. It shouldn’t be surprising that a third way to increase our energy relates to the food we consume. While you may have cravings for that high fat, high sugar, processed food to give you a quick boost of energy, in actual fact the energy from a diet like this is short-lived and will quickly cause an “energy crash.” Eating more frequent, and smaller meals through the days gives your body a steady supply of healthy energy. Just make sure these meals are low on fat and sugar, and heavy on energy-boosting nutrients found in lean protein and fresh fruits and vegetables. Try doing these three simple activities consistently for just one month, and I can guarantee you will feel invigorated, energized, and motivated to make this a regular part of your new healthier lifestyle. For more help with improving your health in 2013 contact the chiropractors at Harbourfront Family Chiropractic at (250) 8030224.

The Japanese and the Europeans have conducted the majority of clinical trials using Co Q10. Most importantly, it appears to support the heart muscles and it is found that heart disease sufferers tend to be relatively deficient in this enzyme. It has a supportive role in conditions such as high blood pressure, diabetes, Alzheimer’s disease, chronic fatigue syndrome, fibromyalgia, and Parkinson’s disease. If you have any of the above conditions, it would be advisable to talk to your physician about taking Co Q10. Certain medication, for example cholesterol-lowering drugs like Lipitor, Pravachol, Lescol, and Zocor, lower the levels of Co Q10. In such cases supplementing with coenzyme is usually recommended by the cardiologist. As far as cosmetic benefits are concerned, its anti-oxidant properties are beneficial in the prevention of damage to the collagen and elastin production, keeping the skin supple young and wrinkle free.

17,238 fishing tackle products last year. Our tackle manufacturers continue to struggle, but also have many products imported in from China, India, and other offshore origins to survive. In most instances, they are of high quality. It will be difficult to reverse the trend, as world economics/uncertainty/raising families on tight budgets dictate where most of us will buy our sporting goods, outdoor wear, housewares, electronics, etc. We go where we get the best deal; and so do the big companies, regardless of whether it might have once been a source of pride to have a homeland-made product. But, when it comes to the foods/juices/fish products that we are ingesting, we must ask our major grocery store chains to stop putting profit over our health!
Here and there in the Shuswap
can be 45% Canadian, then labeled “Prepared for,” “Packed by,” or “Imported,” to be a legitimate foodstuff or article sold here. It is, of course, the polluted soils and chemical additives that we are leery of. Just out of curiosity, let’s take a look at imports of fishing tackle from China to the big sporting good outlets. This then, will stagger the imagination, as the good ol US/Canada, tackle/lures/rods/ reels seem to be going the way of the dodo! Go to Google and search “imports of fishing tackle from China.” According to http:// www.made-in-china.com, 8540 different products are imported into US and Canada. Another company wishing to import and sell fly/trolling rods can go to a B2B (business-to-business) company manufacturing in Shandong province. Other companies there have a Sino-Russian joint venture in manufacturing fishing tackle for export, including rods, reels, spinners and hard lures. China fishing rod products exported
Salmon Arm’s Fish and Game club will be hosting the 45th annual game banquet, dinner and dance on Saturday evening. Many local folks wait for this event, as it’s a chance to enjoy a great dinner, raffles, silent auction, and take their honey out on the dance floor for a spin. Like many events these days, there is a great deal of organizing to be done, such as gaming licences, liquor licences, liability insurance, organizing an agenda, and hall rental. But the most interesting part is the generosity of the store owners and merchants who willingly donate items for draws and the silent auction each season, despite tight economic times. As well, and most important, is the generosity of the hunters and anglers who care dearly about our fish and game, resources, and environment, who donate the salmon, trout, moose, elk, goose, bear, venison, and domestic fare from their own freezers, so you can enjoy. As well, keep in mind we, and Canadian hunters, contribute one million hours a year to habitat
conservation. BC anglers spend on average about $260 a day on their sport, or $2,600 a season. Economic value in Canada from angling is about eight billion dollars, from tackle sales, licenses, lodging,and travel. Locally, our club members hope you enjoy just a small part of what we contribute!

apparel stores in the mall, most items were found to have the same origins. It’s not rocket science, then, why we lost Far West, (Vernon), and Wrangler Western Wear (Bangladesh). As a hunter/ angler, I knew my camo hat, pants and jacket were made in Bangladesh; while my toque, gloves, and mitts were made in China. My “Rocky” brand rucksack came from Sri Lanka. So about now, I’m gettin’ real angry, cause I had just received an email about the many products stocked on our grocery shelves, carrying Canadian/USA name-brand labels. For example, Doles, Walmart’s house brand Great Value, Loblaws’ yellow no-name brand, all carry juice, fruit, fish, relish, pickles, and honey that
Shuswap St.
As the owner of Shuswap Rock Creations, making herons and other birds for patios and ponds, from smooth rock and recycled metals, I became apprehensive that day as the busload of Chinese tourists descended into the farmers’ market. As the cameras came out, I called, “no camera, no picture. No, no,” as they approached my stall. Although hundreds of metal and ceramic bird animal items, bird houses and feeders sell readily here in Canada, all made in China, there was no way they were going to imitate my maderight-here-in-the-Shuswap rock birds. Another vendor made great birch and cedar bark covered bird houses and a cute moose. Three months later he was in a novelty store in Vernon, and there was his product, copied to a T! There once was a sense of pride in the many products and articles of clothing made in Canada. But it appears we are selling our country outright to foreign interests; and too, certain labour organizations’ demands, and cheaper labour offshore, are driving more companies to produce everything from dry goods, machinery, clothing, sports equipment, to most household products, overseas. Recently, on the TV series, Doc Zone, it was illustrated just how huge and widespread this Chinese industry is, and how we as consumers are being caught in the giant spider’s web. Companies still want to maintain a good profitable bottom line to be viable. But with a tight economy, higher wages paid to Canadians, and more foreign ownership, it stands to reason that we may lose out big-time in the long run. Recently, a friend wanted to buy a new spring coat with a $200 gift card she had received from her daughter. We travelled to Vernon to the Village Green Mall, and the large anchor store where her card was from. All their top brand coats, including London Fog, and Calvin Klein, were all made in China.

meet in Piccadilly’s boardroom that I had pre-arranged. I felt like the pied piper as I led the procession of seniors past the fountain, around the corner, past the administration offices, and to the boardroom. There was standing room only. People shared their experiences and frustrations. Most were seniors. Of the 50 people there, only three had passed their DriveABLE testing. We decided to wait until a seniors’ group calls a meeting and has the credibility to complain to the government. Thank you to the staff at Chestors and the management at Piccadilly for accommodating this gathering.
SENIORS, FORGET YOUR PAST DRIVING RECORD
LAKESHORE PHYSIO IS IN A FORMER BAKERY
Jeff Orchard and Julie Parenteau had both been practising locally for four years, and had discussed going into partnership in their own practice. Their focus is to provide detailed, holistic assessments to get to the core of each individual client’s injury, and they have a hands-on approach to treatment with over 20 years combined experience. With the support of Jeff’s wife Megan, and Julie’s husband Roger, they designed an ideal physiotherapy clinic, had it constructed in a portion of a former bakery across from the credit union, and opened Lakeshore Physiotherapy one year ago, on February 1, 2012. Both had established a reputation in the community for delivering an exceptionally high level of service, and their practice has grown to where they recently hired a third physiotherapist, Amber Long, to shorten wait times at the clinic. After I attended their grand opening a year ago, I looked at their website: www.lakeshorephysio.net. I was SO impressed that I found the webmaster’s name at the bottom and wrote a congratulatory e-mail to Perimeter Design.
OVERWHELMING RESPONSE TO DRIVEABLE GATHERING
I invited people to come to a meeting about the tests seniors over 80 are being asked to take in order to keep their driver’s licence. I made arrangements with Chestors House of Cinnamon in Piccadilly Mall to reserve a table for about 10, maybe 15 for a 2 p.m. meeting. People began arriving at 1:15. They kept coming and coming until 20 were seated at tables that were pushed together. Many were turned away and they waited in the mall. When I arrived at 1:50 I could see there wouldn’t be enough room for everyone so I used Plan B, which was to
The reason people over 80 are being asked to go through DriveABLE is because their reaction time is slowing down. Before crossing an intersection or entering a busy street, some don’t look right and left, and then right and left again. A retired ICBC appraiser who was at last Wednesday’s meeting said the problem is many seniors drive too slowly, well below the posted speed limit, and are a hazard on the road. And some step on the accelerator instead of the brake.
ELSIE GERDES REPORTS FROM SENIORS’ GROUP
Elsie Gerdes of Armstrong was at the coast last fall for a conference of COSCO, the Council of Senior Citizens Organizations of B.C. and obtained some advice on DriveABLE. If you are mistreated, complain long and loudly. Take a couple of friends with you for moral support. You cannot refuse to take the computer test. If you do, you will lose your licence automatically. If you fail the computer test, you can still take the road test.
PICCADILLY MALL UNDER NEW OWNERSHIP
December 13, 2012 was a highly anticipated day. After a year of welcoming several prospective buyers of the Mall at Piccadilly, the sale was completed. The next day, December 14, was a happy one for mall staff, for they learned they will keep their jobs. I saw relief on the face of several the next day. I was unable to report it in this column at the time. The sellers were Bill Laird and Sheldon Pucas and the new owner is Standard Life Investments. According to Wikipedia, the company operates in North America, Europe, India and China. Headquarters are in Scotland where it employs some 6,000 staff. In Canada, it owns and operates over 11,000,000 square feet of office, retail and industrial space through its Real Estate division. It has been buying shopping centres across the country, and contracting with Colliers International to be the property manager in many.
BC’S ATTORNEY GENERAL VISITS SALMON ARM
Shirley Bond, Attorney General and Minister of Justice, and Greg Kyllo, Liberal candidate for the Shuswap riding in the May 14, 2013 provincial election, attended a dinner meeting in Salmon Arm on Feb. 5.
BEWARE OF CALL FOR MONEY BY A FAMILY MEMBER
Grandparents are being targeted for money by someone claiming to be a family member, a young adult who is supposedly in jail elsewhere in Canada. In some instances, the caller has also claimed to be a lawyer representing the family member. The caller asks for $5,000 to be wired to him in order to facilitate his release from jail. In one instance, the 88-yearold grandfather wired the money to his “grandson” whose name was correctly given. The next day the “grandson” called back thanking him, and asked for another $5,000 for court costs. At that point, grandpa called his real grandson to find out that he was currently living in another country, and was not in jail. In another instance, an 86-year-old grandmother received a call from a male claiming to be her “grandson” and gave the same story. The grandmother, suspecting something funny was going on, asked to speak to the caller’s lawyer. The caller said the lawyer would call her. No one called her back. She saved herself $5,000. sallys1@telus.net • 250-832-4831 The views and opinions expressed in this article are those of Sally Scales and do not necessarily represent those of Lakeshore News and its staff.
Letters to the Editor
Families should be consulted before schools install WiFi networks
We recently wrote a letter to School District 83 voicing our concerns to those persons who are involved in the decision to possibly install a WiFi system in one of the schools in Salmon Arm in the near future. Many parents have made a choice to limit their family’s exposure to EMF and the possible health consequences by giving up the convenience of wireless, by removing cordless phones and WiFi, along with avoiding or limiting cell phone use. But when it comes to the public school system, parents may not have a choice for their children to avoid the much higher levels of exposure (along with the damaging accumulative effects) that they will be subjected to unless the service to the school is hardwired rather than the proposed wireless.

She states, as many other doctors, scientists and other professionals do, that there are now thousands of papers documenting the adverse health and neurological impacts of EMF/RFR and that children are more vulnerable than adults, especially those with chronic illnesses and/or neurodevelopment disabilities. She says, “We know now that there are a large array of impacts that have nothing to do with the heating of tissue.

Hockey road trip
Going on a road trip with a sports team or some other group can be a lot of fun. I mentioned this in an article a year ago after going to Williams Lake for a hockey tournament with my second oldest son. Well time flies, and this past weekend it was time again to hit the road to Williams Lake, but this time with my third son Brendan. To make things even more exciting this year for the boys, we were able to use the SilverBacks bus for the trip up north instead of everyone just driving themselves. When you are nine and ten, the SilverBacks are only a small step below their favourite NHL players. So the idea of riding on the bus of their heroes was a real highlight. It was fun to see the looks on their faces as we pulled up to the arena in Williams Lake and started unloading. It was almost like they had their chests puffed out and we announcing to the world “We’re the SilverBacks!” It was also fun to see the looks on the faces of the kids from the other teams when we pulled up. They had this look of “You guys are so lucky. Your bus is awesome!” So if only for a weekend, the boys felt like they were
playing in the “big leagues.” My son was literally counting down the days leading up to the trip. He couldn’t stop talking about it. The morning we were leaving he was up at the crack of dawn checking with me as to when we were leaving and I don’t think he stopped smiling the whole weekend. To my knowledge no one got sick even though a couple kids looked green at times. We stopped a few times and watched a few movies along the way. Overall, the boys were fantastic and had a blast. Going on these trips always bring back memories from when I was a kid. I always thought my coach deserved a medal for tolerating all the noise and smells of those trips. Can you believe people volunteer for this stuff!? In the end, our team lost in the championship game. The kids worked real hard and were exhausted after such a busy weekend. Despite the noise and at times strange smells; the bus ride was still the highlight and if the boys are anything like me; it will be the bus ride they will remember instead of the score of the games.

Autism film well attended
Shuswap Children’s Association and the Salmar Community Association recently co-hosted a special encore presentation of The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time at the Salmar Classic. The film brilliantly depicted the life and challenges of an individual with Autism Spectrum Disorder. Half of the proceeds from the well-attended event were donated to the Shuswap Autism Support Group. “We are so grateful to the Salmar Community Association for their support and to all the community members who attended this amazing film,” said Tanja Carlson, Autism Support Co-ordinator with Shuswap Children’s Association. “The funds will help us to continue to support families with an autism diagnosis by hosting workshops, bringing in guest speakers, and to purchase and publish reference materials to educate, empower, and inspire. Current statistics reveal that 1 in 88 children will be diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder and these numbers continue to rise.” The Autism Support Group meets the first Thursday of each month at the Public Health Unit and everyone is welcome.

Measure the exact temperature of the hot water coming out of the tap closest to the water heater, or even at the water heater itself. Don’t trust the dial on the tank control just because it says normal, or because it seems to be in a middle position between warm and hot. Your tank goes on and off without you knowing it 24/7. Find the temperature setting that is comfortable for you, and maybe consider an “on demand” heater for the shower. 115 degrees is a good reference point.

Tax News from Susan Grimes at H&R Block There are many different inexpensive computer programs in the stores right now and you may be tempted to buy one and prepare your own income tax this year and those of your family and perhaps even some friends. What you need to know is that a program is no substitute for a qualified income tax specialist. If you are not fully trained on the tax laws and their applications you may be missing hundreds or even thousands of dollars on yours, your families and perhaps your friends income tax returns by not fully utilizing available credits and deductions. For instance, do you know under what circumstances dividends in your name can be transferred to a spouse, or when someone qualifies for the Working Income Tax Benefit, or the type of credits that can be transferred using a schedule 2, or under what circumstances tuition fees and education amounts can be transferred and to whom, or when to use schedule 5, or what type of medical expenses can be claimed? The list goes on and on. Just because a program gets you a refund doesn’t mean that it is the best refund available to you. Remember, a computer program is only as good as the person using it. You may want to reconsider saving a tax preparation fee by buying a tax program – it could be costing you a lot more than you think.

Aquarius, you crave change this week, even if it is something small and mundane. Figure out something you can do on a small level to incorporate change into your day. You may be inclined to help your community this week, Pisces. There are bound to be plenty of places to share your time.

Capricorn, you may have big plans this week but that doesn’t mean you can leave all other responsibilities by the wayside. If you can’t get to things yourself, then delegate.

Public Notice
by Afke Zonderland
A pinch of vitamin D
A generous pinch of Vitamin D, seasoned with plenty of rest and relaxation, creates the perfect recipe for a winter break on the coast of Mexico. Roberto, chef and our host at Casa Candiles Inn, started our days off with a three-course breakfast as the birds in the mini jungle behind the poolside patio completed the atmosphere of nature’s simple elegance. The little yoga platform under the tall canopy of trees invited me in for the perfect start to the morning. We forget sometimes how much we enjoy a well-loved practice that simply got de-prioritized somewhere in a busy schedule. Our host invited us to join him on one of his frequent trips to a small village where he delivers a box of groceries to 76-year-old Mammy. Mammy, well-weathered and exuding a joyful spirit, raised eight children in a collection of rooms that housed sleeping platforms, an electric stove, a washing and outside cooking area, chairs and benches but no dining table. I imagine that handheld tortillas form the perfect vessels for any combination of beans, meat and vegetable fillings. A truck filled to the brim with onions practically ran over our toes on the small veranda and spread a cloud of dust over our heads. A stroll down the main road revealed women washing in the river shaded by palm covered shelters. John bought a few handmade cigars (the original Havana!) that he later pronounced to be so strong that he could only take two puffs before feeling queazy. The small children go to school, the grown sons and daughters find work in the cities, and provide for their elderly parents as well as their own families. Little towns like La Chole are scattered all over Mexico, as well as in many, many countries all over the globe. Opportunities to employ these lovely families abound as we expand the visions of companies who buy direct and pay fair wages to sustain small local farms. The local economy in Ixtapa has suffered as the beach hotels have gone “all-inclusive”. Restaurants and eateries that were crowded with tourists a few years ago are now half-empty. Little kids, so cute you want to take them home, peddle useless trinkets; some of them, we are told, to support the drug habits of their parents. Our experience at Casa Candiles, a ten minute walk from the beach, has been extraordinary. For a few dollars or pesos more we can live our philosophy of “buy and support local wherever you are.”

Two Salmon Arm teams competed in the North Okanagan Novice Tournament this past weekend. The Salmon Arm Tigers worked hard and finished second in their pool. They had outstanding contributions from a number of players and Garrett Kelley was outstanding in goal all weekend. The Salmon Arm Mustangs (pictured) had wins over Vernon, Westside and Merritt to carry them into the final where they encountered a strong North Okanagan Knights team. North Okanagan opened the scoring midway through the first but moments later the Mustangs were able to even the score. They traded goals again before the Mustangs came to life with three unanswered goals. The final score: Salmon Arm Mustangs 5 and North Okanagan Knights 2. While many individuals were recognized for their “Heart and Hustle,” it was a team victory in every
way. The Mustangs’ brand of “heads up hockey” demonstrated their commitment to playing a smart two-way game. Congrats, boys! Photo contributed.

By Peter Kociuba The Shuswap ring Robbers travelled to Kelowna to participate in their annual Sweetheart tournament in Novice Ringette action this past weekend. Shuswap’s first game on Friday saw them face a new opponent in the PCRM Lightning. The game was a real see-saw affair, with the teams trading goal for goal. The Robbers eventually came out on top, skating away with an 11-10 victory. Scoring for the Ring Robbers were Natasha Kociuba and Delaney Perry each with hat-tricks, Chloe Latosky (2), Camille Boileau, Cadence Petitclerc-Crosby and Phoebe Barnes. The Robber’s didn’t fare as well in their Saturday morning game vs the Kelowna Hurricanes, falling by a 10-7 final. Cadence Petitclerc-Crosby and Delaney Perry each put up hat-tricks, while Brooklyn Sewell with a single rounded out the scoring for Shuswap. Saturday afternoon’s game ended up a little brighter for the Ring Robbers, as

they defeated the Fraser Valley Refrigerators 12-6. Cadence Petitclerc-Crosby, Delaney Perry and Natasha Kociuba each had hat-tricks - Kociuba’s third goal coming while the Robbers were down two skaters on a 5 on 3 penalty kill. Katie Findlay, Abigail May and Phoebe Barnes also scored for the Robbers. Their final game on Sunday was the best of the tournament, as they faced off against the NWV Angry Ice Birds. The Birds took a 3-1 lead into the first intermission, Cadence Petitclerc-Crosby scoring for the Robbers. Both teams fought hard in the second, but it was the Robbers coming up short as they fell to the Birds by a 6-3 final. Natasha Kociuba and Petitclerc-Crosby’s second finished the scoring for the Ring Robbers. Congratulations to the Ring Robbers on a hard fought finish to the tournament. They are idle this weekend resting up for their battle with Westside at the pond the weekend after.
Backs achieve silver in Williams Lake
By Peter Kociuba The L. Turner Contracting Salmon Arm SilverBacks Atom A Development team travelled to Williams Lake for a tournament this past weekend, and finished in second place. Friday’s tilt saw the Backs face off against the home town Timberwolves. Colby Feist opened the scoring, the first of his 5 in the game. Taylor Howard set up Brendan Mayes who finished with a top corner wrist shot, Connor Kociuba’s point shot found its way past the Timberwolves’ netminder, a Marino Bordin wrister and a tap-in by Connor Johnson rounded out the scoring for the Backs, who took game 1 by a 9-4 final. Saturday morning the SilverBacks faced the Prince George Hornets in a much tighter contest. Colby Feist (2), Marino Bordin and Connor Johnson scored for the Backs, who came out on the bright side of a 4-2 final. Salmon Arm’s final test of the round robin came from the Quesnel Thunder. Marino Bordin (3) Ty Bailey (2) and Colby Feist (4) scored for the Backs who skated away with a 9-1 victory. After edging out Kamloops to take second place in the preliminary standings, the SilverBacks matched up against the Fort St. John Flyers in the final. A strong Flyers team proved too much for the Backs, who came out on the wrong side of a 10-5 contest. Leighton Boyd, Colby Feist, Zander Stewart, Marino Bordin and Taylor Howard scored for the Backs. The SilverBacks travel to Kamloops next weekend.

Tax News from Susan Grimes at H&R Block There are many different inexpensive computer programs in the stores right now and you may be tempted to buy one and prepare your own income tax this year and those of your family and perhaps even some friends. What you need to know is that a program is no substitute for a qualified income tax specialist. If you are not fully trained on the tax laws and their applications you may be missing hundreds or even thousands of dollars on yours, your families and perhaps your friends income tax returns by not fully utilizing available credits and deductions. For instance, do you know under what circumstances dividends in your name can be transferred to a spouse, or when someone qualifies for the Working Income Tax Benefit, or the type of credits that can be transferred using a schedule 2, or under what circumstances tuition fees and education amounts can be transferred and to whom, or when to use schedule 5, or what type of medical expenses can be claimed? The list goes on and on. Just because a program gets you a refund doesn’t mean that it is the best refund available to you. Remember, a computer program is only as good as the person using it. You may want to reconsider saving a tax preparation fee by buying a tax program – it could be costing you a lot more than you think.
