School board seeks input on changes
Education: Silver Creek closure, reorganization of other schools on the table. By Tracy Hughes
MARKET NEWS STAFF
The public will have 60 days to provide input to the school board on the proposed closure of Silver Creek Elementary and reconfiguration of the grade levels at Ranchero Elementary, Parkview Elementary in Sicamous, Falkland Elementary and North Shuswap Elementary. At Tuesday night’s board meeting, trustees voted to accept the long-term facility report and proceed with community consultation on the five recommendations which would impact the September 2015 school year. The five options being considered include: • The closure of Silver Creek Elementary. The
report indicates the school district will review redistributing the Silver Creek elementary students to either Hillcrest or South Broadview Elementary, while the middle school-aged students would attend Shuswap Middle School; • Convert Parkview Elementary in Sicamous from a K-7 to K-5 school, close a “significant portion” of Parkview Elementary and create a Grade 6-8 “middle school within a school” program using existing space at Eagle River Secondary; • Convert Ranchero Elementary from a K-7 to a K-5 school and transfer the Grade 6 and 7 students to Shuswap Middle School; • Convert North Shuswap Elementary from a K-7 to K-8 school; • Convert Falkland Elementary from a K-7 to

However, many trustees made statements that they are not necessarily in support of the recommendations and commented that other alternatives may be considered. “We are accepting the report, not approving the recommendations. Each of us at the table may have problems with some of the recommendations, but this is to get the discussion going. We can’t not do anything,” said Kelly Rowe, an Armstrong trustee.

Regional District chair Rhona Martin asked the board what municipalities could do to help lobby the Ministry of Education to change its “broken funding formula” for education, which she believes puts rural school districts at a disadvantage. “It’s an absolute disaster,” she said. “Every child in B.C. should be of equal value but in District #83 it is not working out that way.” Johnson took the opportunity to make a

Ski trails damaged
Damage: Quad riders ignore signage. By Martha Wickett
MARKET NEWS STAff
Unwelcome visitors zoomed their way through the Larch Hills ski area Sunday, March 8. Blain Carson, volunteer trail coordinator for the Larch Hills Nordic Society, reported in an email Monday: “On Sunday we had extensive damage to our groomed ski area in the Larch Hills by at least six quads who probably came in from the multiuse South Canoe access and past the signs indicating ‘skis only.’” Luck was with the Nordic society overnight Sunday, as the ground did not freeze too hard, allowing the tracksetter to repair most of the damage the next day. Trails affected included Sentinel, Sky View, Metford, Larch Hills Road to South Hub, Sky Trail, Alder Lane and Lake View. Carson pointed out the ruts on Sentinel and Sky View were particularly deep. Larch Hills has been damaged before, but Carson surmises that “it seems the most blatant.” The all-terrain vehicles went past
a number of skiers, some who were shouting and taking photos of them. Contacted Wednesday as he skied Larch Hills in the sunshine, Carson provided an update on the incident. “We presume we know the identity of the people and they probably were unaware of the regulations that govern the ski area in the winter time,” he said. “We have authority through the ministry of forests and the recreation branch to conduct a ski operation up here and no other motorized vehicles are allowed in the recreation area.” He said the society received an email from the recreation enforcement officer, who said tickets could be issued to people who don’t stay out of the area. “Hopefully we don’t get to that.” Carson said the all-terrain vehicles are welcome to use the area in the summer, but in the winter it’s for skiers and snowshoers. He notes the ski season is far from over, with lots of snow remaining. Grooming will continue to the end of the month. “We always get skiers well into April,” he says.

Man guilty of indecent assault By Martha Wickett
MARKET NEWS STAFF
A Salmon Arm resident was convicted of indecent assault in a Yellowknife court Thursday. On March 5 in the Supreme Court of the Northwest Territories, David Button, now in his seventies, was found guilty of assault-
ing an adolescent boy in the 1970s. Media reports state the victim testified he was sexually assaulted by Button in a car during a driving lesson. Button was then a guidance councillor at a secondary school in Inuvik. A sentencing hearing takes place April 22.
Although Button’s defence lawyer asked for him to be released from custody until the sentencing to deal with his affairs in Salmon Arm, the judge agreed with Crown counsel that Button is a convicted pedophile so should be jailed immediately. He was subsequently imprisoned in Yellowknife.

Our duty to defend Canada
FROM THE HILL Colin Mayes Last October, Canadian soldiers were killed in two separate attacks on Canadian soil: one in Quebec and the other in Ottawa. Both attacks were carried out by individuals inspired by the radical Islamic extremism used as an ideological foundation for similar attacks around the world. The attacks of last October and the revelation of the radicalization that has been occurring in Canada bring cause for not only concern, but cause for action. Just as we have seen allies like the United Kingdom and Australia strengthen and integrate their security legislative regime to meet these challenges, so must we. To date in Canada, we have been fortunate. The good work of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) and Canadian Security Intelligence Service (CSIS) has averted terrorist plots by the “Toronto 18” to storm the Parliament Buildings and kill MPs
and behead the prime minister, the plot to blow up a VIA Rail bridge in Ontario and a plot to kill people celebrating Canada Day at the B.C. Legislature. However, after the attacks of last October and revelations of radicalization of Canadian citizens who wish to join forces with radical Islamists, the RCMP and CSIS informed the minister of Public Safety and National Security that they need more tools legislated to both investigate and prevent similar threats to Canadians. Canada’s government has taken action by introducing the Anti-terrorism Act in the House of Commons on Jan. 30, 2015. Bill C-51 will give the people that protect us the tools they require to do their job. The critics of this bill are suggesting that it will infringe on the rights of Canadians to protest or demonstrate peacefully. This suggestion is incorrect. Section 2 of the CSIS Act clearly defines what is considered a threat to the security of Canada and clearly states that threats to the security of Canada do not include “lawful advocacy, protest or dissent.” C-51 does not seek to change these definitions. The Anti-terrorism Act would enhance the ability of Canadian in-
stitutions and agencies to collect information, share information and disrupt the activities of suspected terrorist groups. The bill proposes a list of activities to be considered as threatening the security of Canada such as interference with critical infrastructure or the economic or financial stability of Canada. Despite what the critics are saying, the proposed bill qualifies that list by stating that “activity that undermines the security of Canada does not include lawful advocacy, protest, dissent and artistic expression.” I am very concerned that the opposition has taken a matter as serious as our national security and politicized it. Although we all hope and pray that Canadians never face another terrorist attack, the effective prevention of a future attack requires effective action that enables our security agencies to prevent such attacks. Canada’s government has proposed a bill that will do just this in balance with respecting our civil rights. I will support this bill to ensure I fulfill my duty to Canadians, as a member of Parliament, to legislate for the protection and security of our nation. -Colin Mayes is the member of Parliament for Okanagan-Shuswap.

Property transfer tax here to stay Realtors, homebuyers and sellers, and others can stop hoping that B.C.’s property transfer tax (PTT) will be discontinued. It won’t happen. Why? It’s a major cash cow for the provincial government, needed to balance the budget, and there’s nowhere else to raise that large chunk of cash without raising personal and corporate income taxes. Premier Christy Clark is proud of what she says is the country’s lowest tax rate so this kind of special tax, that only hits buyers of property, is not going anytime soon – even though, as Clark herself says, it’s a drag on the economy. The PTT consists of one per cent charged on the first $200,000 of a property’s value and two per cent after that. That means for a $600,000 house, $10,000 is due every time it changes hands. This calculation is not just a painful hit to the wallet when purchasing a home – it’s a major source of revenue, generating $1.04 billion in 2014. The PTT raises significantly more than forestry – formerly the province’s number-one industry – which only brings in about $757 million; or natural gas royalties which, at $542 million, generate about half of what the PTT does. These revenue numbers show how important real estate is to B.C.’s financial solidity. Without a strong real-estate market, helped by record-low interest rates, the provincial coffers would be much poorer. The province also benefits from rising property values and, while there are exemptions for family transfers and first-time homebuyers, it appears the property transfer tax is a necessary evil that raises millions to cover basic provincial services. So, unless the much-vaunted LNG industry or another economic sector can provide a windfall, the PTT is here to stay. – Black Press

OPINION
Act on Cohen Commission report
What cost $26.4 million, took three years to complete and involved hundreds of people? Does anyone remember the Cohen Commission? You know, the one that was set up to determine what was happening to all the disappearing sockeye salmon. It was tabled in the House of Commons back on Oct. 31 of 2012. Apparently, the federal government doesn’t remember it… or at least one could easily get that impression considering they have not acted upon any of the 75 recommendations put forward by the commission. Justice Bruce Cohen spent three years gathering testimony from the public, scientists and First Nations to put together a three-volume report of more than 1,000 pages. The Commission’s final report: The Uncertain Future of the Fraser River Sockeye, entailed some 892 public submissions, 138 days of hearings with 180 witnesses, and was heralded at the time as being “a blueprint for salmon conservation.”
THE GREAT OUTDOORS James Murray The problem is that almost two years have passed since the report was completed and none of its recommendations have been implemented. The question that needs to be asked is, why not? For years, the federal government watched as sockeye salmon numbers appeared to be on a steady decline. They did little other than reduce Department of Fisheries and Oceans staff and funding. The Cohen Commission took three years to complete and it has been almost two years since it was presented. Another five years. How many years is it going to take for government to do something?
How many years do the sockeye have? The issue of declining sockeye salmon numbers may not be the sort a pending federal election will be fought on – although conservation groups and opposition parties alike have repeatedly called upon the Minister of Fisheries and Oceans to act on the recommendations. However, we must not lose sight of the fact that the sockeye are fighting for their very existence, and we, the voters are their voice. We need to speak out so those candidates seeking to represent us will understand our concerns and go on record saying they are willing to do something to save the sockeye salmon. What we need to do, as concerned citizens and voters, is look beyond the political rhetoric and demand that our (to be) federal government make a concerted and co-ordinated effort to implement the commission’s recommendations – before the whole question becomes academic.
It would be wrong for this or any other federal government to have spent $26.4 million only to shelve the report and let it collect dust. It would simply be wrong for this or any future federal government to not implement the recommendation of the Cohen Commission while there is still a window of opportunity to actually do something to save the Fraser River sockeye. No government can appease all the people all the time. I think Bob Dylan said that. The next time I am standing on the banks of either the Fraser or Adams rivers, looking down into the waters, watching the mist rise off the water’s surface, feeling the sun on my face and breathing in the cool, crisp autumn air, I would like to think there will be salmon swimming through on their way to spawn. I would like to know the government kept its word and implemented the recommendations of the Cohen Commission, and that the sockeye have a fighting chance of survival.

VIEW POINT
North Okanagan-Shuswap Conservative Association
Open Board Meeting
Partnership with nature a must “Blue-skying:” – To hold or express unrealistic or impractical views; “Rose-coloured glasses:” – the tendency to see things in an unrealistic, positive light; “What, Me worry?” – Alfred E. Neuman, Mad Magazine. The well-supported and increasingly serious warnings concerning the Earth’s rapidly deteriorating environment clearly make writer Margo Westaway acutely uncomfortable. (Market News, Feb. 18 and 25 and March 6). Her response to these
warnings by credible organizations like the IPCC (Intergovermental Panel on Climate Change); NOAA (National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration); NASA, and the WWF (World Wildlife Fund), has been, unfortunately, to downplay them as nothing but doom and gloom. Presumably, this lowers the discomfortlevel of their warnings. (Curiously enough, dire Mayan prophesies of immanent, end-ofthe-world changes seem acceptable.) Fortunately, the credible warnings – though serious, indeed – are
not doom-and-gloom (“a feeling that the situation is bad and unlikely to improve”) but, given our dysfunctional relationship with the natural world, they most certainly are urgent warnings, and call for immediate action for the Earth and its life forms and natural systems. Further, our reckless and relentless laying waste to the Earth doesn’t represent, as described by Ms. Westaway, ‘chaotic change’ – change that is unordered, unpredictable and confusing. Human impact, including climate-
change, desertification, and plummeting biodiversity is simply the logical outcome of a historically deeply rooted, and now technologically hyperaccelerated, humancentred mindset which sees the human and non-human world as two mutually exclusive zones – “our” zone being unquestionably and totally entitled to the non-human one – even as we destroy it. Recurrent, negative doom-and-gloom labelling just betrays this outmoded and narrow us-only moral universe. We aren’t separate from nature, nor is it
Mr. Harper prefers to play games. Hidden behind the political smoke of his undeclared war on jihadist terrorism and his confrontational posturing on Ukraine, you will discover Harper’s top priority: himself. He is obsessed with maintaining control over Canada. When Stephen Harper was a little boy his favourite game must have been “(I’m the)“ King of the Castle. For reasons obvious to most, he probably played the game alone. Canadians should prepare themselves mentally for a murderous terrorist attack.
Such an event will be horrific, garner nonstop media coverage and give the fanatical followers of ISIS/ISIL additional publicity. Some politicians are certain to use such a calamity to tighten their grip on power. Harper’s government, well-known for its secrecy and deception, has a re-election agenda based on spin doctoring the truth. Be vigilant. Stand on guard for Canada’s democracy. Lloyd Atkins

Harper obsessed with control Since Stephen Harper became prime minister, hundreds of First Nations, Inuit or Métis women and girls have been murdered or gone missing. Thousands of other Canadians have died due to work-related accidents. Did Harper take a leadership role in working to understand the needs of indigenous people? Did he ram legislation through Parliament to strengthen occupational safety standards? Of course not. These kinds of issues are not high on his priority list.

The cause of a mobile home fire on Eagle Bay Road is under investigation by police. About 11 a.m. on Friday, Feb. 27, firefighters received a report of smoke coming out of the roof of a trailer in the 2400 block of Eagle Bay Road. Fire services co-ordinator for the Columbia Shuswap Regional District, Kenn Mount, says the RCMP and private investigators
are looking into the cause of the fire. He said the blaze started in the bedroom and spread upwards. “The first things ignited were in the closet.” When firefighters arrived, they could see smoke coming out of all the vents and the roof attic space. The mobile home survived thanks to quick work by the Shuswap Fire Department, with help from

Healthy eating on the go LIVING WELL March is Nutrition Month and our focus this year is on finding ways to eat well all day long, whether at work, school or during family outings. Eating away from home has become the norm for busy families, whether it’s a quick snack at the mall or a make-shift meal between activities. This year’s theme “Make it and Take it,” is all about healthy eating on the go. I know first-hand how not having the right food handy at the right time can cause a young child to have a meltdown. Bringing food from home will not only prevent meltdowns, but will also help avoid last-minute stops at snack shops or the fast food drive-
through. Once you’re organized it is easy to do. First, having the right gear is essential. Watch for sales. Musthave items include insulated lunch bags/ packs, a variety of small containers with lids, and a reusable ice pack. Reusable cutlery and reusable drink containers are also helpful to have. The right gear makes it easier to pack healthy and safe food for you and your family. Second, have easy to grab pack-and-go items ready in your fridge, freezer and pantry. Here are some of my favourites: • Gourmet homemade lunches: sliced chicken breast, cheese cut into triangles, whole grain crackers,
red pepper strips and apple slices. Yum! Use leftover chicken, turkey or roast beef instead of deli meats to save money, and cut the amount of salt by more than half. • Rainbow veggies and dip: wash and cut a variety of colourful veggies and store them in sealed containers in the fridge. Pack into baggies or containers as needed with pre-portioned dip. Plain Greek yogurt mixed with a bit of salad dressing makes an easy, protein and calcium loaded dip. Bean dips are also terrific and provide long-lasting energy. • Muffin tin creations: Muffin tins are perfect for making little meat loaves and crustless quiche – regular or mini size. Use your favourite recipes and simply portion into the tins (note they will cook fast). Meat muffins freeze well. Mini quiches store well in the fridge for a few
days. Great for lunches or those make-shift dinners away from home. • Homemade nut/ seed/cereal mixes: For a nut-free combo try sunflower seeds, pumpkin seeds, raisins, chopped dried apricots, dried unsweetened cereal, shredded coconut and/or a few mini semi-sweet chocolate chips. Lastly, involve your kids in making homepacked meals and snacks early on. This way they will grow up experiencing food brought from home as the normal and best way to eat. Plus, when kids help pack their own lunches and snacks they tend to enjoy their food more and waste less. Win-win for everyone!

Council pans subdivision plan By Martha Wickett
MARKET NEWS STAFF
Sicamous Business Directory
City council avoided giving false hope at its March 2 planning meeting. Eric and Pam Gretzinger were applying to have their approximate four hectare-property in Panorama Ranch Strata Development in Gleneden subdivided into two parcels. They said when Panorama Ranch was created, the idea was to create horse properties with a riding arena. “When you look at the properties, very few can support a horse.” They said subdivid-
ing has since occurred on some properties around them. The Gretzinger property sits within the Agricultural Land Reserve and is designated acreage reserve in Salmon Arm’s official community plan. A city staff report on the application explained the Agricultural Land Commission had turned down two previous requests to subdivide the property, with two different owners, in 1986 and 2003. Staff stated the new application is essentially a repeat of the last two. “The commission has consistently indi-
cated that unless new information is provided that was not available at the time of the previous application or an error is identified with the previous decisions, it is unlikely that a previous decision will be reversed.” Although council supported the 2003 application, the ALC turned it down. After discussing the application, which the city’s agricultural advisory committee opposed, council members voted unanimously against submitting the application to the ALC. Coun. Kevin Flynn was absent.

Did you know? A new roof can be one of the more expensive repairs for homeowners. But homeowners don’t have to break the bank when it comes to replacing a roof, which can be made from a variety of materials that can vary greatly in price. Asphalt shingles are the most affordable roofing material and that budget-friendly price is one reason why asphalt shingles are so popular. The asphalt shingles of today are also durable, which was not always the case. Ceramic tiles are another roofing material, but these tend to be quite expensive. However, their price has made them quite rare, which might be attractive to prospective buyers when the time comes to sell the house. Durable and aesthetically appealing, metal roofing is another option that’s popular in areas they get heavy snowfall because snow does not build up on the metal like it might on other materials.

SPORTS Huge wins for Selkirks rankings and both had several top-16 finishes. Webster-Locke’s best swim came in the 50-m backstroke where he finished in the top 10 and just missed qualifying for the Western Canadian Championships. Ethan Quilty had several best times and two very impressive top-16 results as he also nears the standard for the Western Championships. The team continues training, with four swimmers now qualified for national level summer championships and 12 swimmers already qualified for the provincial championships this coming July. The club looks forward to support from the pool and the broader community as the swim athletes continue to pursue opportunities to compete at provincial, national and international level competitions this summer and beyond.

Eight junior members of the Columbia Shuswap Selkirks swim team travelled to Surrey for the Junior Provincial Swimming Championships this past weekend and came away with 11 medals and several national-qualifying performances. Maggie Manning, 13, won six medals (two silver and four bronze) and her strong performances led to being selected as one of two female British Columbia para swimmers to qualify for Team BC to attend the Canada Games this August. Chantal Jeffrey, 13, had a stellar meet winning five medals, breaking the magic one-minute barrier in the 100-metre free. She is qualified to swim this summer in Quebec City at National Junior Swimming Championships. Molly Fogarty, 13, had a strong meet topped by an outstanding 200-m butterfly that qualified her for the Western Canadian 15-and-under championships in Winnipeg. Jacob Rambo, 13, may have had the swim of the meet when he improved a jaw-dropping 15 seconds in the 400-m individual medley and finished sixth in B.C. Young star Lauren Gridley-Haack, 11, had two top-10 performances and finished the meet with a threesecond improvement and a ninth-place finish in the 50-m butterfly. Young, talented Ethan Skofteby, just turned 12 and coming off a knee injury that limited his training, still managed to swim three best times and have a top20 finish in the highly competitive 12- and 13-year- old age group. Ty Webster-Locke and Ethan Quilty, both 15, the oldest of the team members at the Junior Provincial Championships, moved up in the

Chase Fire spreads to hillside By Martha Wickett
MARKET NEWS STAff
An electrical fault may have caused a house fire that spread to surrounding bush. On Wednesday, March 4 around noon, alarms went off for a residential structure fire in the 5100 block of Squilax-Anglemont Road. Kenn Mount, fire services co-ordinator with the Columbia Shuswap Regional District, reports that when crews from the Celista fire department arrived, smoke was showing out of the upper level of a three-storey cottage-type home. The resident was not
home at the time but arrived while firefighters were on scene. Anglemont and Scotch Creek fire departments also responded, helping to deal with the blaze which had spread to the forest and was running about 20 metres up an adjacent hill. “The team there was able to effectively and quickly extinguish the interface fire…,” Mount said. The BC Safety Authority was advised of the fire so further inspection was to take place. “The cause looks to be electrical in nature coming from the crawl space,” Mount said of

Stone said the lake was busy with boat traffic after the fireworks ended. “Everybody just calmly puttered out,” he said. “There was an awful lot of traffic.” According to Stone, the houseboat was travelling at a “trolling speed,” with Brown manning the controls. “I had my right shoulder against one doorjamb, he had his left shoulder on the other,” Stone said. “He’s steering as we looked out the front of the boat. “I must have turned

to look at someone and I heard Ken say, ‘What’s this guy doing?’ When I turned to look, all I could see was the boat coming over the bow.” Stone said he was
struck by the boat and suffered two collapsed lungs and a number of broken bones. “After that, I remember the speedboat motor or propeller screaming,” he said, visibly upset in the courtroom. “After that shut off, I knew I had to get up and do something or I was going to die.” Stone testified he has no memories of what happened on the boat after that. Previous witnesses have testified they saw a boat driving erratically and at a high rate of speed prior to the crash. The Crown is expected to call 50 witnesses in Brown’s trial, which is expected to run into late April.

Passenger recounts fatal boat collision Emotions ran high in a Kamloops courtroom March 9 as a man aboard a houseboat during a fatal 2010 collision on Shuswap Lake described the moments leading up to the crash. Leon Reinbrecht is standing trial in B.C. Supreme Court on one count each of criminal negligence causing death and criminal negligence causing bodily harm stemming from a July 3, 2010, collision in Magna Bay that claimed the life of houseboat operator Ken Brown. The Crown alleges Reinbrecht was driving his speedboat erratically prior to colliding head-on with the houseboat. Taking the witness stand on Monday, March 9, was Todd Stone (not the MLA), who was standing next to Brown at the houseboat’s helm when the collision took place. The boat was headed back to Anglemont after taking in a post-Canada Day fireworks show on

Heat spread honours, awards By Scott Koch CONTRIBUTOR
With the KIJHL season wrapped up, the Chase Heat held its Annual Banquet and Awards Night. On Saturday, March 7 at the Adams Lake Recreation Centre, 180 parents, billets, fans, volunteers, staff and players congregated. The evening included a delicious roast beef dinner and desserts, a fundraising silent auction, a guest speaker and an awards presentation. Team education co-ordinator Tom Atkinson MC’d the gala evening with grace and
wit. Besides the awards there were two other highlights. Legendary NHLer Guy Charron was the guest speaker and Andrea Stelter showcased a video of the year’s highlights and hilarious outtakes of crash and calamity. You can view it on the team’s Facebook page. The awards commenced with Andrea Stelter receiving the Volunteer of the Year Award. She is the society director of broadcasting and marketing, works with staff on game films, takes all the action photos, develops posters and pamphlets, and volunteers whereever needed.
Director of Hockey Operations Brad Fox presented the many player awards: • Most Valuable Player (tie) Kaleb Boyle, Trevor Okino • Top Defenceman Trevor Okino • Top Scorer Cody Hodges • Warrior of the Year (tie) Kolten Moore, Travis Beaubien • Most Sportsmanlike Alex Durbeniuk • Unsung Hero Braden Hughes • Most Improved Zachary Fournier • Rookie of the Year (tie) Travis Beaubien,
Kolten Moore • Most Dedicated Nic Bruyere • Top Scholastic Spencer Farstad • Game Star (tie) Michael Byer, Kaleb Boyle • Playoff MVP Logan Mostat • Fan Favourite Kaleb Boyle Boyle and Byer as 20 year olds have completed their Junior Hockey Eligibility and were presented with framed mementos, personalized travel bags and Heat golf shirts. Team Captain Boyle as the KIJHL all time
leading power play goal scorer also received a window box from the Heat organization with the record-breaking puck, a plaque and action photo. The Chase Heat once again thank sponsors, donors, fans, volunteers and most importantly the billet parents for their tireless support in making Chase and the Heat the place to play and be successful.

INFORMATION DESIGNED TO PROMOTE AND ENHANCE YOUR WELLBEING
Let’s get our teenagers moving (NC) Canadian teens need to increase their physical exercise every day for a lifetime of good health. Research from ParticipACTION, the national voice for physical activity and sport participation in Canada, shows that only four per cent of Canadian kids aged 12 to 17 get enough heart-pumping exercise on a daily basis. Are you concerned about the teens in your life? To address this growing issue, Participaction Teen Challenge, sponsored by Coca-Cola Canada, encourages teenagers to establish healthy habits for life and that includes fostering social interactions that build their confidence and self-esteem. The program helps to remove the barriers that prevent physical activity – namely cost and accessibility – providing teens with access to the equipment, facilities, instruction, or the transportation needed to get active. Teen Challenge

gives community organizations in British Columbia access to microgrants that enable this age group to get active and have fun in ways that mean something to them. The community groups work with local teens to identify needs within their neighbourhood and come up with solutions to meet them. The successes of Teen Challenge are exemplified by numerous stories in British Columbia, such as the snow-
shoeing club at Leave Out Violence - a youth outreach group in Vancouver also known as LOVE. On a cold winter morning in 2013 with the help from a micro-grant, the LOVE team took to the hills of Mount Seymour for a day of snowshoeing with 12 local youth. Many of the teens had never seen snow, let alone been able to stretch their legs on a mountain-side. “The beauty of Teen Challenge is that it empowers
our youth to be creative and come up with physical activity ideas that suit their peers, in their local neighbourhoods,” says Elio Antunes, president and CEO of Participaction. “Once teenagers get active and participate in regular physical activity, it can help them to do better in school, to grow stronger, feel happier, improve their self-confidence and learn new skills. A program of this kind can do so much good.”
Leave Out Violence’s snowshoeing club has been able to make a significant difference in the lives of teenagers in that community, Antunes points out. It is empowering them to take control of their health.

He had just turned 68. Bert’s new found relationship with Jesus became a great solace and gave him much peace in his heart. Bert was predeceased by his father Adhemar, brother Rene and baby sister Doris. He is survived by his Mom Delima, his sister Mathilde (Gill), brothers Bernard (Sherrie), Jacques and Mike (Barb), daughter Tamara (Alec), step daughter Gail(Nathan), grand-daughters Abigail and Mia and many nieces and nephews. He will be greatly missed by all of his family and friends, especially his life partner and soul-mate Verna. Bert spent many years in the Red Deer, Alberta area as a carpenter and also worked in the oil industry. His love of animals, especially the raising of cats, dogs and horses, brought him much joy. It was a natural choice for him to be a farrier for many years in Peace River. Bert will be remembered for his love of nature, passion for oil painting, dancing, hunting, camping, fishing and anything outdoors! His friends will also remember Bert for his bargain shopping skills, his great sense of humour and carefree, fun loving personality! Special thanks to the staff at Bastion Care Home for their kind and compassionate care in Bert’s final months. They provided a quality of care that was above and beyond. It was so appreciated by the family. Also, many thanks to Dr. DeWet for his loving, personal attention and prayers.

KATHLEEN JOY LAIRD November 7, 1921 - February 24, 2015 Peacefully passed away at Salmon Arm, in her 94th year. Predeceased by Bill, her husband of 56 years, in 1999, she leaves her sons Bill (Linda), David (Elizabeth), Douglas (Toni), 9 grandchildren and 11 great grandchildren to cherish her memory. Born in Enderby, and raised on South Pender Island with nine siblings, she met the love of her life in 1943. Married in Victoria, Bill and Kay moved to Sidney where they raised their family. They later moved to Armstrong in the early 70s to pursue the family construction business. Kay always conducted her life with grace, strength, and dignity. She was known for her wry sense of humour and concern for family, and her pragmatic advice was always valued. The genuine kindness and wisdom she offered left a lasting impression. The family is grateful to Dr. Amy Megyesi for her steadfast medical care, the wonderful staff at Piccadilly Park Place for their constant consideration of Kay’s needs, and Eila, a special niece who was a devoted companion and caregiver. A celebration of life, to be announced at a later date, will be held in Armstrong. In lieu of flowers, please make donations to your favourite charity.
