The chief of the Neskonlith Indian Band has been re-elected for a third term. Judy Wilson retained her seat versus challengers Bonnie Thomas and Randy Narcisse. Unofficial tallies were Wilson with 76 votes, Thomas with 52 and Narcisse with 40. Of the nine candidates vying for the five band councillor positions, incumbents Art Anthony, Karen R. August and Joan Manuel-Hooper were returned. Newly elected was Fay Ginther, while Louis Thomas was acclaimed as the band councillor for Salmon Arm. Unofficial results were Ginther with 96 votes, Anthony 95, August with 91 and Manuel-Hooper with 75. Wilson said the 2015 election meant difficult choices for voters. “Many great candidates from our community put their names forward.” She termed this an exciting time for the Neskonlith “as there are many more opportunities open to us than barriers or obstacles.” Priorities, she said, will be: increasing opportunities for the band, securing more resources and revenues, and ensuring collective, informed decision-making with band members. “During the last council term, financial stability was an issue. Council successfully retired the historic band debt for the first time ever, and also incurred no further operating deficits.” For the upcoming term, she said outstanding housing receivables will be the single financial issue. “Many First Nations across Canada are facing the same issues,” she noted, adding that a lot of See Housing on page 2

Housing a top priority for band council Continued from front the issue has to do with the way Aboriginal Affairs and Canada Mortgage and Housing programs are set up. “The other housing issue is poverty and unemployment. However, I’m optimistic that our band can make
headway on housing and come up with positive solutions.” Once that’s addressed, she said the band can work “to meet housing shortages, complete band infrastructure for business, housing subdivisions and develop new daycares, an elder care program, youth
program and strategic engagements such as with highways…” Wilson said the band council is looking forward to working with neighbouring bands, municipalities, its band corporation and regional corporation, “including those entities who recognize and work respectively with
our community and First Nations government. This begins with recognition of our title and rights, which is more than participation or involvement. It is having a say in the development and being at the table to ensure our environment and land is protected.”

Computers targeted for theft RCMP R E P O RT Police are seeking the public’s help to solve a smash and grab robbery at a Salmon Arm computer store. On Jan. 24, at approximately 5:35 a.m., Salmon Arm RCMP responded to an alarm at a computer store situated on the Trans-Canada Highway. RCMP discovered that a suspect had smashed the front door and gained entry. The suspect then entered and took several items before quickly running
back out the broken glass door. Police searched the surrounding area but were unable to locate anyone. The business owner arrived on scene and secured the premise. The value of items taken is unknown at this time. Should anyone have any information on the crime, contact the Salmon Arm RCMP at 250-832-6044 or CrimeStoppers at 1-800-222-8477 (TIPS)

Sicamous council asked to support centre By Lachlan Labere
MARKET NEWS STAFF
Whether or not a proposed community cultural centre gets off the ground now appears to be in the hands of district council. At the Jan. 14 committee of the whole meeting, Sicamous’ mayor and council were asked by Kim Hyde and Michelle Wolff to commit $100,000 in seed money, as well as a letter of support, that could be used to leverage grant money to help make the cultural centre a reality. Council was also asked to consider applying to the Economic Opportunity Fund, administered by the Columbia Shuswap Regional District, for an additional $100,000 to go towards the centre. Council was also asked to commit to the provision of administrative time to “assist with grant applications, finances and strategic planning, and provide a council liaison to the society” overseeing the initiative. Last year, Hyde and Wolff, the Sicamous and District Chamber of Commerce executive director, presented their vision of the community centre to the prior council. The crux of this vision is the former Tru Hardware building at 534 Main Street, the adjacent property by the highway intersection, and their acquisition. “Our vision for this is a cultural centre in our community that would
house the museum and archives… First Nations history and culture, art gallery and gift shop, the Sicamous Visitor Centre, Sicamous and District Chamber of Commerce, rental office space, residential… We feel this is a good economic opportunity for our community,” said Wolff, noting the building is selling for $700,000. The adjacent property is listed at $309,000. Quotes from contractors have the cost of the desired renovations at $700,000 plus another $100,000 for equipment and supplies. Part of that cost has to do with having proper storage for art and artifacts. “I know talking to Splatsin, they have a canoe, a historical canoe they found at the bottom of the lake, that they really would love to have on display,” said Wolff. “They thought this would be an awesome opportunity right at the intersection of Highway 1 and Highway 97A.” Highlighting some of the assets of the building site, Wolff said there is a treed pathway at the rear that could be used in partnership with the neighbouring high school as an art walk as well as a picnic area. She suggested the building might also serve as a sort of hub for the proposed rail trail greenway from Sicamous to Enderby and beyond. “We feel there’s an

n The former Tru Hardware location is central to a proposal for a community cultural centre. economic opportunity where one does not exist today,” said Wolff. “It’s an opportunity for us to draw another demographic to our community. If we can make the rail trail a reality, it just gives them another reason to visit us.” Wolff said Okanagan-Shuswap MP Colin Mayes and Shuswap MLA Greg Kyllo support the idea, as do the Splatsin, along with the Sicamous and District Museum and Historical Society and the Eagle Valley Arts Council. Wolff proceeded to list off numerous sources of potential grant funding through which she and Hyde hope to fund the majority of the proposed project. “If we’re not successful, we don’t get the money from you guys,” explained Hyde. “If
we’re successful, then the money has got to be there for you guys to write us a cheque.” Coun. Jeff Mallmes didn’t dismiss the vision, but was concerned with the lack of details. “I’m not a fan of paper, but if I’m going to make a decision to cough up a couple of hundred thousand dollars, there’s a lot of things that we’d like to do and yes, this is one of them, maybe, but you have to have more information with these two pieces of property,” said Mallmes. Hyde explained the push for the vision had to begin anew to acquire support from the new council. Council agreed to send both monetary requests to the district finance committee for consideration.

Seminar focuses on planning for the future of the planet By Barb Brouwer
MARKET NEWS STAFF
An exciting movement is afoot in landuse planning and a local teacher is taking it into the classroom. Systems ecologist Barry Wilson and Salmon Arm Secondary teacher Dave Ramsay are so excited by the implications of a holistic approach to planning, they have formed the non-profit BC Tomorrow Society, whose mandate is to help students and teachers better understand sustainable planning. They will share their ideas and enthusiasm at an event at 7 p.m. Tuesday, Feb. 3 at the Salmar Classic Theatre as part of Okanagan College’s MacQuarrie Institute Lecture series. Systems Ecology: Holistic Planning for Today and Tomorrow is not simply a lecture. The event is designed to be a night of engagement, where people learn about and buy into the concept that the survival of the planet is in the hands of the people. BC Tomorrow is developing an online simulator that uses cutting-edge geographical information systems (GIS) technology and satellite imagery that will allow users to see how one decision can affect another, be it for good or ill.
With understanding and excitement growing as more and more individuals, community groups and teachers are exposed to the concept, Wilson and Ramsay accepted an Okanagan College invitation to take it to the greater community. On Feb. 3, Wilson will describe systems ecology and explain why it is so important when making decisions to balance human activity such as settlement, development, use of natural resources and tourism with a view to the needs of all – humans, animals and the environment.
Barry Wilson
BC Tomorrow is based on an Alberta program already successfully in use in that province, engaging students in interactive exploration of land use in local watersheds, teaching them critical thinking skills and improving their understanding of system dynamics. As well as garnering support from the
Alberta organization, Wilson says Shuswap MLA Greg Kyllo has been supportive since pre-MLA days and has offered to help them explore access to gaming funds and provide avenues for the men to talk with ministry officials. “I’ve seen kids learning about their own watershed become very engaged,” says Ramsay, who earned his masters with an environmental science course he wrote, based on the Shuswap watershed. “There is definitely a sense of urgency about the role teachers have to play – not to tell but to facilitate.” Wilson says two Grade 6 students who attended a presentation at a recent Wa:ter AGM, were totally absorbed and ran up to the front with their questions at the end. That attention and enthusiasm are the reactions Ramsay and Wilson hope to see at next week’s presentation, which will include ample time for questions. As exciting as it is, the project will be costly. Admission is a suggested $5 donation, or more. Seats can be reserved for $2 at Wearabouts or Okanagan College prior to the event. Doors will open to ticket holders at 6 p.m. and 6:30 for the general public.

Hockey parents need to keep cool At first glance, the idea to ban parents from the hockey rink may sound ridiculous. It happened this last week when a Vancouver Island minor hockey association announced they were considering banning people in the stands for a weekend to send a message to incorrigible parents squawking at refs and players on the ice. On second glance, it may just be a good idea. Especially after finding out Penticton parents ended up in fisticuffs with the opposing team’s fans at a recent tournament in Sicamous. It started with a disagreement over a penalty called by the ref and ended with a physical confrontation. This isn’t a one-off in the world of minor hockey either. In November, a restraining order was placed on a woman who was harassing the Kootenay Ice (WHL), Detroit Red Wings (NHL) and others about her sons’ hockey careers. Earlier this month a Burnaby hockey dad was given a conditional discharge and 12 months probation for threatening a minor hockey player all of nine-years old. One blogger posted a video this week (date of its origin unknown) shot from the stands of a minor hockey game. A parent, from Florida, suddenly stands up in a rage over a ref’s decision and smashes his hand against the glass shattering it. At least one parent commented, “Way to go Paul. That’s classy.” So maybe having a no-spectator weekend might put things into perspective for the parents who dish out thousands of dollars in gear, travel and fees for their kids to play hockey. Hockey is there for kids to participate in organized sport, make friends and have fun. What fun is it when you have to embarrassingly hang your head low on the ice or in the dressing room when your parents are the ones screaming from the stands? For the sake of the kids, volunteers and referees, keep it classy. -Penticton Western News

OPINION
Wolf cull won’t resolve caribou mortality
The BC Ministry of Forests, Lands and Natural Resource Operations announced in a statement dated Jan. 15, 2015 that they were initiating a cull of some 120 to 160 grey wolves from a pack located in the South Peace region of B.C., and another 24 from a pack in the South Selkirk Mountains. According to the statement, the planned cull will be conducted by ministry staff (who will shoot the wolves from helicopters), in order to protect dwindling herds of local mountain caribou. “The South Selkirk herd is at high risk of local extinction,” says the ministry. “The population has declined from 46 caribou in 2009 to 27 in 2012 and to 18 as of March 2014. Evidence points to wolves being the leading cause of mortality.” Wolves are similarly responsible for the decline in caribou herds in the South Peace region where an estimated 37 per cent of all adult mortalities have been documented as wolf predation. The statement goes on to say, “hunting and trapping of wolves have not effectively
THE GREAT OUTDOORS James Murray reduced (wolf) populations, and may even split up packs and increase predation rates on caribou. Habitat recovery continues to be an important part of caribou recovery, but cannot address the critical needs of these herds in the short term.” In another Forests, Lands and Natural Resource Operations statement, assistant deputy minister Tom Ethier says, “the evidence points to wolves being the leading cause of caribou mortality, the ministry recognizes that the targeted wolf removal is required. The province believes that caribou are a valuable part of the natural ecosystem and should not be left to slowly die out.”
In the same statement, he goes on to say, “other caribou recovery efforts, including habitat protection and restoration are already in place and will help put the caribou back on an even footing ecologically, but if we wait for these measures to have an impact it will be too late.” While the peer-reviewed Wolf Management Plan, released in April 2015, outlined the need for a targeted wolf cull, wolf researcher and director of the Ontariobased Wolf Awareness Foundation, Sadie Parr says the planned cull is “unscientific and flawed.” Parr says wolves are social animals, which means that killing them will fracture existing groups, with many moving on to breed and form other packs, thereby increasing the current wolf population and subsequently putting even more pressure on the mountain caribou herds In a press release also dated Jan. 15, B.C.-based Pacific Wild states, “Decades of habitat destruction and human encroachment have left B.C.’s mountain caribou on the edge of survival. In-
stead of protecting critical food and habit for the caribou, such as the lichen-rich Interior forests, the B.C. government is now blaming the wolves.” The group also points out winter-based motorized activity (such as snowmobiles) is another major factor in the decline of caribou herds in the Selkirk Mountains, and a number of environmental groups argue the government should be looking at restricting the use of motorized-vehicle activity in endangered caribou habitat. The way I see it, expecting wolves not to predate on caribou grazing in their back yard is sort of like cooking up pork chops, setting them on a plate on the kitchen table, telling the dog not to touch them and then leaving the room. The wolf cull, not unlike the plate of pork chops, amounts to a lack of reasoning coupled with a lack of understanding, combined with a natural instinct to eat food that’s sitting right there in front of you. What you have left to chew on is pretty much a no-win situation.

ing rates down to single digits? • Be aware of the risk of flavoured tobacco products. Youths are especially susceptible to experimenting with flavoured tobacco and almost half of B.C.’s youth smokers are using these products. These products carry the same health risks, and are just as addictive as regular tobacco. Additives reduce the harsh effects for youth who are experimenting with tobacco, making it easier for them to become addicted. Cancer shouldn’t be available in strawberry. • Increase tobacco taxes. Research shows when the price of to-
bacco increases, rates of smoking decrease. Increasing tobacco taxes can help bring down B.C.’s smoking rates. • Regulate e-cigarettes. As future healthcare professionals it is worrisome that the health effects of using ecigarettes are unknown. Minimal research has been done in determining whether e-cigarettes are an effective or safe method in aiding people to quit smoking. • Legislate smokefree outdoor public places. As student nurses we think now is the time for the B.C. government to make a firm commitment to reduce smoking rates to single digits.

CSRD seeks water system grant Good drinking water may finally be on the horizon for Sunnybrae residents. Columbia Shuswap Regional District Utilities team leader Terry Langlois got the go-ahead from the board to apply for a General Strategic Priorities Fund grant in the amount of $1.7 million for the Sunnybrae Water System upgrade project. In 2009, Sunnybrae residents asked the regional district to acquire the private water system. A community meeting was held in 2012 to review an initial engineering assessment

and discuss available options for water users. “There was unanimous support for the CSRD to secure grant funding, move forward with public assent and take ownership of the water system,” wrote Langlois in his report to the board. The owner of the system that serves some 70 Sunnybrae properties walked away from the system in 2009, leaving an ad hoc community group to cope with the failing system – and a boil-water advisory for most of the past five years. Langlois said that after
many delays, the defective system and all of its assets were taken over by the province in May 2014. The regional district has completed the engineering assessment of the system and has been waiting for a grant opportunity to be announced. A resolution of the board endorsing the application to the Union of British Columbia Municipalities is required as part of the grant application program. The general strategic priorities fund provides 100 per cent of first-phase funding and applications must be re-

Langlois cautioned that competition for the funding will be fierce, but the fact the system has been transferred could help. “I’d like to thank the ad hoc committee that somehow kept the system running out of their own pockets,” he said. Area C South Shuswap director Paul Demenok offered his support for the grant application and thanked Langlois for getting the project “shovel ready” in order to be immediately able to take advantage of funding announcements.

INFORMATION DESIGNED TO PROMOTE AND ENHANCE YOUR WELLBEING
How a healthy diet helps you and the environment The right dietary choices can not only improve your health but the environment as well. But urbanization and increasingly busy schedules force many people to seek the most convenient, and not necessarily the healthiest, foods. The growing reliance on processed foods may be hurting humans and the planet they call home. Processed foods tend to be loaded with starches and preservatives, increasing consumers’ risk of diabetes and being obese. In addition, many prepackaged foods are shipped from faraway processing plants, and vast amounts of fuel must be consumed for products to get from those plants to local grocery stores. But subtle shifts in dietary habits and trends can decrease mortality rates and reduce global greenhouse gas emissions resulting from food production. Adopting alternative diets that feature a higher ra-
tio of fish, whole grains and locally grown produce can greatly reduce an individual’s carbon footprint. The “New Nordic Diet” is one example of a growing dietary trend that has the potential to improve the health of humans and the environment. So says Henrik Saxe, an associate professor who specializes in sustainability at Copenhagen University. Researchers found a reduction in greenhouse gases of at least 6 percent with the New Nordic Diet, as compared to typical diets in Denmark. The following are a few ways average men and women can eat to promote their own health while simultaneously protecting
the environment. • Adopt climate-friendly eating habits that rely on more domestic, in-season foods. • Cut down on meat consumption. • Eat organic foods as much as possible. • Avoid seafood harvested from fish

Simple ways to maintain your mental acuity Many people know that a combination of a healthy diet and routine exercise is the best way to maintain their physical health. But what about mental well-being? Memory lapses are often assumed to be an accepted side effect of aging, but such an assumption is incorrect, as there are many steps men and women can take to maintain their mental acuity well into their golden years. • Find time for cardiovascular exercise. Cardiovascular exercise can help men and women maintain healthy weights and reduce their risk for potentially deadly ailments like diabetes and heart disease. But cardiovascular exercise also can boost brain power. Cardiovascular exercise pumps oxygen-rich blood to the brain, and that blood contains glucose that can fuel brain cells. Cardiovascular exercise also strengthens blood vessels, which can help prevent potentially devastating diseases, such as stroke, that can have a lasting and negative impact
on cognitive function. • Find time for friends and family. Many people need no reason to socialize, but those that do can now cite boosting brain function as a great reason to get together with family and friends. Routine socialization can keep a brain sharp by reducing its levels of cortisol, a potentially destructive hormone brought on by stress. Researchers also believe that routine interaction with other people stimulates structures in the brain’s frontal lobe that are likely responsible for planning, decision making and response control. • Squeeze in a nap every so often. Naps can have a reenergizing effect on men and women, but a study from German researchers also found that naps also can improve memory. In the study, researchers divided participants into three groups: people who would stay awake for 60 minutes; people who would sleep for six minutes; and people

who would sleep for 30 to 45 minutes. After the hour was up, participants were given a word recall test, and those who slept performed better on the test than those who hadn’t. But the development that was perhaps most interesting was that those who slept for just six minutes performed just as well on the test as those who slept for far longer, leading researchers to suggest that men and women need not take long naps to improve their memories. • Include fish in your diet. A study from researchers at Chicago’s Rush University Medical Center found that people who eat fish once per week have a 60 percent lower risk of developing Alzheimer’s disease than those who do not include fish in their weekly diets. Researchers credit this lower risk to DHA, an omega-3 fatty acid that is found in both the brain and in fish such as salmon and tuna.

Zero tolerance for barbaric practices
FROM THE HILL Colin Mayes Many times I have referred to Canadian values in my columns. So what are Canadian values? A great book to read is Andrew Cohen’s The Unfinished Canadian, which explores what it is to be Canadian. Canada has received many immigrants over the years, but recently we have welcomed immigrants from countries that have cultural values that are not consistent with accepted Canadian values. Our government’s minister of Citizenship and Immigration Chris Alexander has brought forward an act that will now identify some foreign cultural values that will not be accepted as Canadian values. The “Zero Tolerance for Barbaric Cultural Practices” Act puts limits on arranged
marriages of minors, female genital mutilation, violence in the name of honour, and polygamy. Did you know that currently in Canada a girl at seven years old can be married off with parental consent? The new act will increase the age to 16. This act also makes criminal the removal of a child from Canada for the purposes of forced marriage. It is hard to believe that in the last decade, 100 million girls (14 and under) have entered into arranged or forced marriages globally. This is not an accepted Canadian practice. Did you know 91per cent of women between ages 15 to 49 in Egypt experience genital mutilation? Female genital mutilation also happens in Canada in the name of cultural practice even though it is a violation of a female’s Charter Rights. This act will protect female Charter Rights. Women come to Canada for a better life; they will only enjoy this when their right to say ‘no’ to this practice is protected.
Did you know some new immigrants have brought two or more wives to Canada? This act will make it illegal to practice polygamy in Canada. Polygamy is recognized in 50 countries so Canada must make it clear that this is not a Canadian practice. Any new immigrant that is practising polygamy will be immediately deported. I know you have read of honour killings in Canada committed by immigrants from cultures that practise this type of violence. This act will, of course,not only prosecute perpetrators of these types of acts but also these types of threats. Honour killing is not a cultural practice; it is simply murder in the first degree. The purpose of this act is to make certain anyone immigrating to Canada knows what Canadian values are and that the reason people view Canada as a great country to immigrate to is because we will protect our children and women against abuse and ensure their human rights are honoured.
Canada does have identifiable values and protecting those values has made Canada the most desirous place to immigrate to, so why would we embrace values of other cultures that violate these principles? Ethnic cultures that also embrace Canadian values are protected in the name of diversity in our Charter of Human Rights and Freedoms in Canada. Canadians sing the “True North Strong and Free” for a reason and we will not change our tune. -Colin Mayes is the member of Parliament for the Okanagan Shuswap riding.

Volunteers needed to read with students If you love to read and are interested in working with children, consider becoming a volunteer with the One to One Children’s Literacy Program. One to One reading programs take place in most elementary schools within the district. The commitment is 1.5 hours per week for 12 weeks starting in mid-February. During that time, volunteers will read with three children for 30 minutes each during regular school hours. The One to One program is organized by the Literacy Alliance of the Shuswap Society (LASS) in partnership with School District #83. A three hour training session for all volunteers in basic reading strategies is mandatory as well as a criminal record check. Training sessions will be held on: • Tuesday, Feb. 3 from 9:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. at Falkland Elementary School • Wednesday, Feb. 4 from 9 a.m. to noon at South Broadview Elementary School.

Name to reflect community By Martha Wickett
MARKET NEWS STAff
The naming of a bridge spanning the South Thompson River Friday was both a physical and a symbolic act. On Jan. 23, the chief and council of the Adams Lake Indian Band, the Chase mayor and councillors, leaders and elders from around the area, as well as provincial and federal government representatives, gathered for the adding of a Secwepemc name to the bridge known also as the Pine Street bridge. The new name is the Sexqeltqin Bridge, meaning ‘the head of
the river.’ Band councillor Cliff Arnouse pointed out that the bridge is not just about the structure anymore, but building bridges to communities, “sharing ideas, building partnerships.” Band councillor Henry Anthony explained the band and other government representatives met in January 2013 and talked about how to work together. “I put out the idea – if we’re serious about working together, let’s put a Shuswap name on the bridge.” He said everyone around the table agreed, so a bridge-naming contest was held, with

Fans treated to Heat nailbiter By Scott Koch contributor
This past weekend in the KIJHL saw the Chase Heat with a pair of home games versus the Kamloops Storm and the Revelstoke Grizzlies. Both are divisional rivals in a very tight race for a playoff berth down the stretch in the regular season. The Heat are currently tied for second, have seven regular season matches left and are in control of their own destiny. This story unfolds with Kamloops at the Art Holding Memorial Arena on Friday, Jan. 23. The previous weekend the score was 7-6 for the big city team. A healthy- sized crowd shows up to be entertained, the atmosphere is electric and the home boys come through big! In the first on the powerplay, Chad Wilde displays some magic assisted by Austin Willier and Kaleb Boyle. There is no scoring in the second as Chase remains relentless with their speed and tenacity. In
the third, icing is put three feet deep on the cake, as first Connor Harding shows some offensive flair, assisted by Travis Beaubien and Tommy Brown, then it’s Kolten Moore on a breakaway from Cole Perison and Alex Durbeniuk prior to Tyler “Shifty Moves” Mork closing things out from Captain Boyle. Michael Byer in the twine comes up huge stopping all 31 shots for the first shutout of his career. So Saturday night, Jan. 24 the Mad Bears from the Mountain Mecca show up in Chase and seek to move up from fifth in the standings. The largest crowd of the season is there and, in the first, Wesley Matsuda plunks the puck in the cave behind the Bears’ tender, assisted by Moore and Beaubien. In the second, Wilde pops one in from Cody Hodges and Boyle, and that is followed less than two minutes later by Hodges scoring assisted by his linemates Boyle and Wilde.

are name places we’re just starting to bring out.” He notes the bridge is not just the Pine Street bridge. “Our people have lived here for hundreds of years, thousands of years,” Arnouse said, referring to an archeological find at Hoffman’s Bluff dating back about 10,000 years. “We have name places all over the territory – this is just one of them.” He said there were pit houses where the bridge was built and there remains concern about the loss of artifacts there. Overall, there are good and bad things about the bridge and the increased traffic it brings, he says. The effects on the area’s plants and animals from increased
traffic and all the people it brings are a concern, but, at the same time, it’s good for many people – it’s good for the band’s agriculture, for use of its facilities, for tourism. “It works both ways; it’s good and bad.” Anthony notes there is a tangible relationship when people cross the bridge and meet with their neighbours downtown. He said having a name on the bridge and sharing the stories behind it makes building relationships easier. He points out: “The Adams Lake Indian Band have community and staff that work on both sides of river. School buses go back and forth on the bridge. Business relationships, agricultural and silvicultural programs – they all have to cross in order to meet. This is a way of building a bet-

n Heat goaltender Daniel Toews does the splits sliding across the crease for the puck when Carter Huber of Revelstoke lets the shot go looking to get his team on the score board during the second period. It’s now 3-0 and this present to the fans is all wrapped up – or is it? In the third the intensity from Revelstoke rises as they come out of hibernation with 1:37 left in the 60 minutes. Now it is 3-1, the Heat suffer a delay of game penalty and the Grizzlies pull their goalie. A two-man advantage and mayhem in the blue paint in front of Daniel Toews with 37 seconds left and it is a new game 3-2. That ends up the
score with this contest being an unexpected nail biter. The moral in this one – don’t poke a sleeping bear. Ice chips: Hodges is fourth in KIJHL scoring with Boyle 17th. All three goalies, Byer, Nic Bruyere and Toews have a shutout this season. “Bulldozer” Harding added to his resumé with his second goal of the season; he leaves dents when he hits. Moore spent time in

“I believe this is one of the ways of showing who we are and our language... So when our students, our young parents come home with their kids, they can say, ‘Hey, this is our bridge, who we are.’”

Band launches hospitality program Ten people are getting valuable experience in the tourism sector with the Little Shuswap Lake Indian Band as it continues to expand its business base and hospitality industry, thanks to a partnership with the provincial government, worth more than $124,000.
The training is taking place at the Little Shuswap Lake band’s Quaaout Resort and Conference Centre where participants are learning about customer service, getting computer training, bartending skills, safety orientation and first aid training, as well as instruction on facilitating
cultural events. “The opportunity for the Little Shuswap Lake Indian Band to work in partnership with the provincial government to enhance the skills of First Nations individuals is a boon for us,” said Little Shuswap Lake Indian Band manager Stewart Adamson.
“We own and operate Quaaout Resort and Conference Centre and are always looking for trained First Nations peoples ready to step into the careers we provide, with their skills nurtured and eager to work,” Workers will take 16 weeks of occupational skills training, nine
Chase grad earns Spirit of Women bursary The Spirit of Women Fund is about women helping women. It was started by a Chase woman, Barbara Maher who is passionate about supporting other women in her community. Her fund is one of over 160 funds held by the BC Interior Community Foundation. “I was pleased to be able to award the first $500 bursary to a very deserving graduate of Chase Secondary School, Sherrilyn Towes,” said Maher. “Sherrilyn is now reg-
istered at TRU and I am happy to assist her with her education and following through with her dreams.” Maher felt that some women were falling through the cracks – they may have a dream, but did not have enough money or support to follow through with their dreams. Many years ago, Maher got the support she needed by giving back to her community through volunteerism and learning skills that helped her on her new career path.
The Spirit of Woman fund provides two bursaries every year; one for a young woman graduating from high school, the other for a woman, 30 and older who would like to resume her education. Volunteer work is one of the requirements of the bursary. On March 7 and 8, Maher is holding the third Annual International Woman’s Day at the South Thompson Inn and Conference Centre. This event raises funds to support The Spirit of Women Fund.
As well, Maher is taking nominations for a woman from the region who would benefit from attending the conference but can’t afford the ticket price. If you would like to nominate someone, contact Maher at fund@ thespiritofwomen.com. If you are interested in supporting the fund, you can donate online by visiting the BC Interior Community Foundation website at www. bcinteriorcommunityfoundation.ca or call the office at 250-4346995.

Bard hits big screen
Award: Seeking excellence in arts,sport. For the first time, Canadians will be able to experience Shakespeare as performed by Britain’s Royal Opera House. Salmon Arm audiences will be able to see three productions at the Salmar Classic: Twelfth Night at 6:30 p.m. Sunday, Feb. 1; Taming of the Shrew at 6:30 p.m. Saturday, March 29 and Macbeth at 6:30 p.m. Sunday, April 26. Filled with a cast of unforgettable characters, Twelfth Night is a moving comedy of loss and misplaced love and includes some of the most exquisite songs Shakespeare ever wrote. The all-male Original Practices production, exploring clothing, music, dance and settings possible in the Globe around 1601 England, stars award-winning Mark Rylance and Stephen Fry. Twelfth Night’s sellout performances led to a hit run in London’s
West End. Salmon Arm audiences will be treated to behind-the-scenes previews before the performance begins and special interval features. “The experience is very much like being in the auditorium at Covent Garden,” says Alastair Roberts, managing director of Royal Opera House Enterprises. “You feel the buzz beforehand with glimpses backstage as the cast gets ready for the show, then the curtain goes up and you really are sitting in one of the best seats in the house in the thick of the action.” Tickets are $15 for adults and $12 for youths, and are available at the Salmar Grand Theatre.
Excellence If you know an outstanding artist or athlete, now is the time to speak up. The Salmar Associa-
tion is again casting its net for someone who displays excellence in either sports or the arts. As they have in the past several years, directors are planning to hand out a $1,000 grant in their Salmar Award of Excellence program. “The award will be made to an individual who has attained an outstanding level of skill or expertise in his or her field of performing arts or athletics, to be recognized at the provincial and/or national level,” says Salmar rep John Henderson. “By his or her performance, the successful recipient will bring recognition to themselves and the Shuswap.” Nominations for the award should be made to the Salmar board by March 31. The grants committee will consider the nominations and take their recommendations to the June meeting of the Salmar Board.

There are two types of people – those who make New Year’s resolutions and those who do not. For those who make resolutions, the first page on a new calendar symbolizes a fresh change in their life. Those who do not make resolutions may see every day as the first day of the rest of their life and another opportunity to make a healthy change.
Set a S.M.A.R.T. goal. S.M.A.R.T. stands for specific, measurable, attainable, realistic and timely. Rephrase your goals from “lose weight” to “increase my vegetable and fruit intake to at least seven servings per day by the end of January.” This S.M.A.R.T. goal is positive, measurable and focuses on what you can do. Check in with a professional. Registered dietitians are qualified specialists who can help ensure your meal plan is balanced and fits your lifestyle. Be cautious of meal plans that

haul. For example, if you lack time to prepare healthy food or rely on ready-made entrees provided by a meal program, what will happen when you are pinched for time or when the program is over? Look for ways to include food you like with healthier options. If you like pizza, try one with whole grain crust, lots of extra vegetables, and chicken or shrimp rather than deli sausages. Try a smaller size pizza and add a ready-made green salad or a hearty vegetable soup to complement the meal.

Whichever philosophy you follow, making healthy lifestyle changes is always good. The most common health resolutions are to eat healthy, be more active and reduce smoking or alcohol use. While my tips focus on eating healthy, these suggestions can also apply to other lifestyle changes. Before embarking on any lifestyle change, do a check-in. Ask yourself what factors contribute to your current lifestyle? Without addressing these, healthy changes are harder to maintain over the long

MAYOR’S MESSAGE Nancy Cooper

Happy New Year. Now that the election and holidays are over I will once again be writing my monthly column. If there is an item of interest you would
like me to comment on in this column, please call me at city hall or send an email to ncooper@salmonarm.ca. 2015 will be a busy year for the City of Salmon Arm as large construction projects are in progress and the School District #83 and CSRD offices, are completed. In addition, the building department statistics indicate single family homes already on their list for 2015 with some larger projects expected to move forward.
The city will complete the Airport Master Plan so decisions on proceeding with airport improvements can be made. In addition, a Parks Area Plan for Canoe Beach, Canoe rental lots and the old Clare’s Cove Marina will begin. Coming up this spring we expect a public open house with the Ministry of Transportation regarding planning for the four-laning of the Trans-Canada Highway and construction of a new Salmon
River Bridge. Please watch our local papers for information. Council is in the process of securing funds for improvements to Blackburn Park. If secured, you will see the very large dirt pile transformed into a championship soccer field and the muchawaited life trail system built. This a year of change for the Shuswap Watershed Council, formerly known as SLIPP – Shuswap Lake Integrated Planning Process, as
work on next steps and program funding are discussed. Lastly, the Launcha-Preneur program is coming up again. This is a remarkable program for anyone thinking of starting a new business. You will receive advice and help from Okanagan College, Community Futures Shuswap, our Economic Development Society and local business professionals. Call 250-833-6080 for information.

YULE, DAVID MARK 1965 – 2015 David Yule was an incredibly good, genuine man who worked hard and played hard but above all else loved his wife and kids with everything he had. He was a family man and a devoted friend; a man you could count on, no matter what. David was born on November 13, 1965 in Calgary, AB. In his younger years, he spent time in Mossleigh and Gleichen on the family farm – these were cherished times as David loved being a farm boy. He attended SAIT and became a Heavy Duty Mechanic but his drive and determination led to more than just pulling wrenches. Before long he was self-employed, working hard with Barb to build their business in Calgary. They were a remarkable team in every way imaginable. In the late 90’s, David had an opportunity to take his skills overseas to work and they decided as a family to make it happen. It was the best of both worlds for David – he could work for several weeks non-stop which he loved, then was home for several weeks to focus entirely on his home, his family and his friends. David always loved the Shuswap – he and Barb brought the kids for vacation each summer until they finally decided to make it their home in 2005. They quickly settled into the community and developed friendships that have endured for the past 10 years. David worked in Russia as Maintenance Manager for the Russian Federation at Trican Well Service Ltd. When David was home, he took advantage of all the area had to offer - sledding in the winter and being out in his beloved Tige on the lake in the summer (God help you if you wore your shoes or ate on his boat). On his last day with us, David was up in the mountains at his favourite sledding spot at Owl’s Head in Sicamous with his best friends. In his own words, “I moved to the Shuswap several years ago – what more can I say – I am living the dream.” David is survived by his loving wife Barb, his daughter Sara and his son Jacob. David also loved his community so in lieu of flowers, donations can be made in David’s memory to: Shuswap Volunteer Fire Department, Box 95, Sorrento, BC V0E 2W0. Arrangements entrusted to Fischer’s Funeral Services & Crematorium Ltd., Salmon Arm 250-833-1129. Email condolences and share memories of David through his obituary at www. fischersfuneralservices.com.
Roland Joseph Frederic Muller died peacefully January 22, 2015 in Salmon Arm of complications from diabetes. He was born January 1, 1942 in Bantzenheim, France. He is survived by his wife Julia, son Christopher (Kayla), daughter Catherine (Walter) and grandson Hudson. He is also survived by his brother Daniel in Nanaimo, and sisters Gabreille and Raymonde in France, and many nieces and nephews. In his younger years he lived an adventuresome life with many accomplishments, and in his later years, in his own quiet and private way, enjoyed many interests and hobbies on his beloved acreage. He will be especially remembered for his skills in fixing computers and anything else that didn’t work and shouldn’t be thrown away. He will be sadly missed by family and friends. Many thanks for the help and support during this difficult time. As with his wishes, his ashes will be spread in the spring, followed by an open house. Online condolences may be sent through Roland’s obituary at www.bowersfuneralservice.com MARCOUX, ARTHUR OSCAR July 6, 1928 - January 12, 2015 Art passed away peacefully on January 12, 2015 in Marjorie Willoughby Snowden Hospice Home in Kamloops with family at his side.

He will be sadly missed and always remembered by Blanche, his loving wife of 63 years; his son Steve (Jacquie), his daughter Pat (Tom), 5 grandchildren; Tracy (Craig), Tammy, Sandy (Alisha), Chris (Karyn), Mitchell and 7 great grandchildren; Kaitlyn, Hailee, Preston, Britnee, Kendall, Tristen and Kali. Art was born in Mission, B.C. He moved to the Chase area where he and his brother had a logging operation, which he and his son Steve continued for many years. They were in the logging and trucking industry. Art loved his camping trips, whether it was across Canada or just a few days. He also enjoyed fishing as well as barbecues on the deck and Happy Hour with good friends. There will be no formal service. The family will get together in the summer to celebrate his life. A special thanks to all the staff at Ponderosa Lodge for their excellent care. And very special thanks to Dr. Rallheiser and all the doctors and nurses in 6 South and in the E.R. at Royal Inland Hospital. An extra special thank you to Dr. Baker and all the staff at the hospice for the compassionate, excellent care he received.

In 1941 she moved to Regina with her family, attended Business school, operated a boarding house with her mother, worked for the Dept. of Natural Resources and exchanged long distance love letters with Wilson for 5 years. They married in 1946 and moved to Reid Lake BC to dairy farm and raise a family. After Wilson passed in 1959, she moved to Prince George where she worked as a bookkeeper to support and raise her young family. In 1969 she married Bob Smallpiece and in 1981 relocated to Salmon Arm where they eventually retired and enjoyed many friends and blessed years together, including travels near and far. Funeral service will be held at 11:00 AM, Saturday, January 31st at the Carlin Community Hall (16K west of SA on Hwy 1); interment at Mount Ida Cemetery; a reception will follow at the hall. In lieu of flowers, donations will be gratefully accepted at the Cancer Society of Canada. Arrangements entrusted to Fischer’s Funeral Services & Crematorium Ltd.

LOFTUS, VIRGINIA MAE “PIDGE” April 14, 1928 – January 22, 2015 It is with deep sadness that we announce the passing of our dear Pidge on Thursday, January 22nd after a lengthy illness. The matriarch of the Loftus family was born in Edmonton, Alberta on April 14, 1928 and later moved to Calgary where she and husband George “Bud” raised their 6 children. The last 39 years have been spent in the Shuswap area where they enjoyed many friends. Her love of life was contagious and her presence in a room could never be missed. She was a passionate sports fan, a fantastic homemaker, and a gifted artisan. Her adeptness with a needle and a sewing machine was admired by all. Pidge will be forever remembered and dearly missed by her husband of 64 years, Bud, and their 6 children: Robert, Jim (Brenda), Michael (Yvonne), Patrick (Linda), Cindy (Rob), and Tammy (Ted). She will hold a special place in the hearts of her 12 grandchildren and 12 great grandchildren. Pidge was predeceased by grandson Michael Robinson in 1997. The Loftus family would like to thank the incredible staff at Shuswap Lake Hospital and Dr. Kevin Goldberg for their care and compassion. In lieu of flowers, donations in Pidge’s name may be made to the Shuswap Lakes Hospital Foundation. A “Celebration of Life” for Pidge is being planned for Saturday, April 18th, 2015 with details to follow. Arrangements entrusted to Fischer’s Funeral Services & Crematorium Ltd., Salmon Arm 250 833-1129. Email condolences and share memories of Pidge through her obituary at www. fischersfuneralservices.com.
