Board considers school closure

Silver Creek Elementary: Bylaw initiates process, trustees will vote on whether to proceed. By Barb Brouwer OBSERVER STAFF

School District #83 trustees are considering whether to move forward with the process to close Silver Creek Elementary School following a public meeting April 9 where residents appealed to the board to keep the school open. A last-minute addition to the April 14 agenda was done Monday to give trustees enough time to have the required three readings prior to the May 12 meeting when a final decision is scheduled to be made.

Proceeding with first reading does not necessarily mean the school will be closed. Trustees could vote against the bylaw, effectively dropping it from consideration. The school board meeting took place Tuesday night after the Observerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s press time. Last Thursday in Silver Creek, the board heard from respectful but adamant community members about the importance of the school to the area. Not only did those in attendance tell trustees why the school should remain open, they offered a plan

munity itself were of more concern to the attendees. Parent Advisory Council president Amanda Crawford said the school serves a large area and its closure would mean children with young families would not move to the valley. More important to mom Kristie Clark is the length of time (up to 90 minutes) her child would have to travel on the bus, the likelihood of bullying and the question of who would supervise the children.

PAC offers funds for Montessori Continued from front Silver Creek Store co-owner Joe Sarrazin said he has driven Salmon Valley roads for 30 years and challenged the board on being prepared to have young children on the roads daily in winter conditions. “You know what the roads are like here,” he said, with frustration. “The loss of one child doesn’t cover the savings.” Many people voiced their concerns along with support for adopting the Montessori method of education at the school, a philosophy described at length and with unbridled enthusiasm by parent Noah Ralston.

“Montessori classrooms are designed to be inviting and inspiring to the children, with diverse subject areas throughout the room that children are encouraged to explore independently,” said Ralston, noting more Silver Creek parents would turn to home schooling if the school were to close. “Montessori classrooms foster co-operation and community, rather than competition and individualism.” Ralston had invited a teacher from Vernon who has been using Montessori for six years and says the program that began in one school has expanded so quickly it has moved to another school. Ralston told trustees

that school staff and parents have gone to see Montessori in action and are committed to the program. As well, he pointed out the PAC

urged trustees to keep the school open and suggested the regional district “could put some money into the Montessori system.” He said a resolution has been sent to the Southern Interior Local Government Association demanding the province put more money in education, a resolution he hopes would then go to the Union of B.C. Municipalities, which would put further pressure on the province.

Inebriated man hit by train A 27-year-old man literally walked away with only minor injuries after being struck by a CP Rail train Sunday afternoon. On April 12 at approximately 4 p.m., Salmon Arm RCMP officers were notified by CP Rail, that a train had struck a male on the tracks near Narcisse Street. Police attended the scene along with other emergency agencies. Their investigation revealed the man, from Surrey,

was travelling through the area and decided to sit on the tracks to view the lake scenery. He was intoxicated and appears to have fallen asleep on the tracks. The man was struck by the train, which was unable to stop in time, and suffered non-life threatening injuries to his hand and other abrasions. The unnamed man was transported to Shuswap Lake Gen-

eral Hospital for treatment. CP Police have taken over the investigation and it is not known if any citations will be handed out. “RCMP wish to remind the public that, for obvious reasons, walking or sitting on rail tracks is not only inherently dangerous, but is considered trespassing when not on a marked crossing,” said Sgt. Andrew Hunter in a press release.

Trucker takes off from accident scene Salmon Arm RCMP are looking for information about a hit-andrun involving a semitrailer on April 11. At approximately 8 a.m., police received a report that a semitractor trailer had sideswiped a vehicle while making a turn near 10th avenue and 30th street NE. The trailer scraped the back of the parked car, tearing off half the bumper and causing damage to the rear of the vehicle. No one was injured and both drivers spoke to each other but before the driver of the damaged vehicle could

get any information, the truck driver stated he had to move his vehicle to ensure it didn’t block traffic. The truck then left and never returned. The other driver was unable to get the license plate or company name of the truck. Anyone with information on this incident is asked to call the Salmon Arm RCMP at 250-832-6044, or CrimeStoppers at 1-800-222-8477.

Missing driver On April 11 at 1:30 a.m., police responded

to a single-vehicle incident on Trans-Canada Highway near Shuswap Street. A man was found with minor injuries and stated he had been in the back of the pick-up truck involved. The driver had fled on foot before police arrived, and there were indications that alcohol was a factor in the crash. The injured passenger was uncooperative with police and the investigation is ongoing. Should anyone have any information on this incident, they are asked to call the Salmon Arm RCMP.

Drug arrest

On April 12, at approximately 4:30 p.m., a citizen reported a male appeared to be smoking drugs while parked at the bird sanctuary. Based on evidence gathered while speaking to the man, the officer arrested him for possession of a controlled substance and impaired driving by drug. A small amount of drugs was located and the driver was issued a 24-hour prohibition and the vehicle impounded. The investigation is ongoing.

The final version of the 2015 city budget contained bad news for city council. While the 2015-2019 financial plan was adopted by the former council in October 2014, it must be revisited in April of each year to provide for any outstanding items. Several changes meant that the 1.9 per cent tax increase passed by the former council in the fall could have risen by another one per cent. However, finance staff were able to make revisions and hold the tax increase to where it was in October. What was bad news for the city came from good news for some Salmon Arm businesses, however. Dalziel reported that a few businesses were successful in appealing to the BC Assessment Authority and received decreased assessments. That translated into less tax revenue for the city. Successful appeals Dalziel listed went to businesses including Canoe Forest Products Ltd., Piccadilly Terrace, RP Johnson Construction Ltd. and Park Place Seniors Living Inc. The assessment decreases, combined with less new construction than was forecast – 1.24 per cent instead of two per cent – meant $189,000 less in tax revenue than was expected. The lower new construction figure was related to a July 1 cut-off, Dalziel said, so the remainder of the year’s revenue will show up in the 2016 budget. To make up for the decrease in revenue, Dalziel said $100,000 from the Columbia Shuswap Regional District towards the Syme Bridge reconstruction in the Salmon River Valley will now subsidize the budget, as well as a couple of other items including $50,000 available from the police budget because of vacancies. Coun. Kevin Flynn said he wished to publicly thank the CSRD for the contribution to the Syme Bridge, which he thinks was fair. He also thanked city staff “for doing your balancing act – you’ve done a great job.”

Owners face fines for dogs’ aggression ple have dogs like that, they should have a little bit of common sense. If they’re big dogs and not friendly, why let them loose?” Trylinski agrees with that sentiment. “It’s morally reprehensible to have a

By Martha Wickett OBSERVER STAFF

Ironically, Tim Trylinski walks for his health. Last Sunday during his walk he thought he was going to die – but not from going too far or too fast. Trylinski says he was walking with a friend on 17th Avenue just off Foothill Road about 11 a.m. on Sunday, April 5. They passed a horse enclosure with white fences and then a straight stretch of road with a house way up at the end. He noticed a dog running toward them and thought it was a friendly Husky-type he had met previously. “I thought the dog wanted to come to say hello to me.” Not so. As the dog drew closer, it was joined by other dogs, one after another, until there were seven. “Then I thought – it’s a pit bull, and all of sudden another pit bull and another pit bull. I lost count after five dogs – Larry said seven. One was a shepherd.” He tallied three pit bull-types and a German shepherd, but didn’t notice what breed the other large dogs were. The lead pit bull was very menacing, Trylinski says. “The dog was five feet away and snapping and snarling, any minute looking like it was going to lunge… It was pandemonium, all

His friend was carrying a walking stick that helped hold them off, while he was shouting at them, “No, no.” It was only when he managed to pick up a large rock that the dogs changed their stance. “As soon as we picked up the rock, they immediately began to retreat back... We were walking backward. I could barely breathe.” After the men escaped, Trylinski called 9-1-1 as well as Salmon Arm dog control. A check by the Observer on Friday with K9 Control, the contractor handling dog control in the region, revealed that the dogs’ owner was given several fines. They included penalties for having aggressive dogs, fines for

the dogs being at large, fines for too many dogs on the property and fines for not having dog licences. “The outcome was, they are going to get rid of some of the dogs – they apparently got stuck with some of their kids’ dogs,” said dog control officer Pat Ellis. Along with $700 in fines, the owners were given an order stating that the dogs can’t be off the property. “Every complaint we get we deal with – especially if it’s aggressive dogs, we’re right on top of it,” says Ellis. Ellis points out that even if dogs aren’t normally aggressive, they can become so when the pack mentality takes over. “Two or more dogs are considered a pack and, if they’re acting aggressively, they can be shot on sight,” she says, according to the Livestock Protection Act. “The thing is, if peo-

for what it’S worth

Tip your hat to volunteers In journalism you quickly learn that there’s a week for everything. There’s Celebrate the Potato Week and Salute a Sailor Week and Ingrown Toenail Awareness Week. Of course I’m being facetious. There are any number of valid and worthy causes that sponsor a week to promote their cause, but the practice has proliferated to such an extent, it becomes difficult to weed the, well, weeds from the flowers and try to acknowledge all the various proclamations. There is one, however, which I find hard to ignore, simply because it affects every person regardless of age, gender or economic status. It is National Volunteer Week. Without volunteers, much of the good in this community would simply cease to exist – they are the backbone of so many positive things in Salmon Arm, from music and theatre and art to sports and recreation, to helping those with illness or disability, to comforting the elderly or teaching new skills. They bake cupcakes for school carnivals and run raffles and fill out grant applications. They raise money for CT scanners or new playgrounds or building new trails. As the parent of young children, I would like to send a special shout out to all the volunteer coaches, who work so hard helping to keep our kids active and also teaching them life lessons like teamwork and sportsmanship. So this week, do take a moment and thank a volunteer who you know. A little gratitude can go a long way. But then you could take appreciation a step further. The Salmon Arm Observer wants your help in identifying and honouring these special people. Nominate a volunteer you know for our Community Leader Awards. Anyone can nominate a deserving candidate in a whole host of categories including mentor, coach, emergency services, environmental, youth and community leader of the year. Nominations close Wednesday, May 6 and judging takes place on May 22. Nomination forms are available within the pages of this newspaper or in our sister publication, the Shuswap Market News. An awards ceremony will be held on June 18; winners and those with honourable mentions will be further honoured in a special supplement soon after. As a side note, I received an email from Shelly Hand, the manager of the SPCA, in response to my April 1 column about not leaving dogs in hot cars. To clarify, only BC SPCA special constables have legal authority to act if an animal is in distress and Salmon Arm has no such person on staff. This means personnel from the Shuswap branch of the SPCA will attend if there is a dog in a hot car and watch for signs of overheating. They will also attempt to cool down the car by shading it with blankets. The RCMP, however, are currently the only agency with legal authority to break into a car to rescue an animal in visible distress.

Editorial

Seniors need care, not anti-psychotics B.C.’s Seniors Advocate Isobel Mackenzie has issued a report on seniors in residential care which has gained a great deal of attention. The attention is long overdue. Mackenzie, who did a survey of seniors in residential care and the 29,000 home-care clients, also found that far too many seniors are being given drugs to control their behaviour. One-third of those in residential care are being given anti-psychotic drugs, even though the number actually needing those drugs is far smaller. Only four per cent have been diagnosed with a psychiatric disorder. Meanwhile, about twice as many seniors as actually need them are receiving anti-depressants.

It’s hard not to draw the conclusion that government officials and those running care facilities are drugging residents indiscriminately, likely to control behaviour. This is simply not right. Health Minister Terry Lake acknowledges that too many seniors in care are receiving anti-psychotic and anti-depressant drugs, and said there is training underway to ensure that staff members know what drugs are appropriate for people living in residential care. Seniors deserve proper health services, but they also must be treated with dignity. They should only be given drugs they really need. – Langley Times

View Point

Salmon Arm Observer Wednesday, April 15, 2015

www.saobserver.net A7

The Observer asked: Who is a local volunteer deserving of recognition?

Jackie Latosky “Gerdi at Bastion Place does a lot of great work.

Lillian Zawaski “Cecilia helps out so many seniors at Rotary Garden, she is just great.”

Christine Gaberel “Anyone who volunteers for the SPCA should be recognized.”

Jason Miller “The folks at the One to One children’s literacy program.”

Jay Armitage “Steve Kerry from the radio station is a great volunteer.”

B.C. neglects Stopping terrorists a way to keep the peace students Where’s the money, B.C. government? Something odd that recently came to me and a few other classmates was that in Grade 12, we had not received a single class on sexual education. Here we are, about to entire colleges, universities and the real world where independence and freedom would become endless, and we had not even brushed upon safe sex in over a year. Finding this extremely weird and irritating, we decided to ask a favourite teacher why this was. The realities of government budget cuts and what our administration deemed “less important” suddenly became apparent. In the past year, school districts across B.C. have seen major changes as the result of government budget cuts. Because of this, School District #83 has made the decision to marginalize the sex ed program. Although sex ed used to be a few weeks of classes every couple of days each year, it would now be a single day in Grade 9 and 11 for high school students. I could not believe that despite rises in teen pregnancy and all of the misconceptions surrounding sexual health thanks to the Internet, the program was cut. Abstinence is promoted greatly in high school, but it is ignorant to think all kids will follow that. Students need to be provided with proper, in-depth information about STDs, contraception and the realities of teen pregnancy. And, in my opinion, one day every other year is not a sufficient amount of time to do that. Budget cuts hurt everyone in the school district, and they are sometimes unavoidable to the school board. The real responsibility lies in the B.C. government, which should be focusing on the well-being of students. We are the future, and it is their job to provide us with the essential tools to make it a good one. Samantha Schumacher

In last week’s (April 8) Letters to the editor, we read another tirade from Mr. Riley regarding our Conservative government. Canada is not a rogue nation; Canada is a democratic country with a majority government voted into power by a majority of Canadians. Our government did not “force” passage of any motion. Motions are passed by a government elected by Canadians. We elect a government always hoping it will be a majority and if it is elected we know the majority of those voting supports the government. The government has the required number of seats in the

House of Commons that allows them to do so. I ask Mr. Riley; did Mr. Pearson, Mr. Trudeau or Mr. Chretien ever pass a bill as a result of their party holding a majority government with the required number of seats to win a vote do so? Of course they did. By the way, Canada is at war with Islamic terrorists /ISIS. ISIS are from the same gang of terrorists that flew airliners into the Trade Center, tried to destroy the Pentagon, flew an airliner into a corn field killing all passengers, killed an unarmed sentry in Ottawa, slaughtered soldiers in London, attempted to murder members of

our government in Ottawa and we have lost hundreds of our armed forces personnel in Afghanistan, not counting the thousands upon thousands of people from other countries killed by Islamic terrorists. Canada and our allies need to bomb and eradicate the terrorists regardless of where they are located and the majority of Canadians agree. If in the course of eradicating these terrorists we need to support a motion that would bomb Syria or any other country that supports them, then so be it! B. Campbell

Bill C-51 negates Canadian’s democratic rights I am writing to bring awareness to the dangers of allowing Bill C-51 to be pushed through parliament. This bill is dangerous as it will allow CSIS to become the government’s secret police force with little or no oversight or accountability and reminds me of the beginnings of Hitler’s plans. Our forefathers died so we could live free but Bill C-51 nullifies their sacrifice. Lest we forget also means holding Mr. Colin Mayes

responsible to the constituents he is representing. This bill also violates our Charter of Rights, including censorship of free expression online. The bill is ineffective as it leads to dragnet surveillance and information sharing on innocent Canadians that even Stephen Harper has admitted is ineffective. Fifty per cent of Canadians oppose this bill yet it is being rushed through parliament without Mr. Mayes addressing this issue with

his constituents. If this bill passes, our private information can even be shared with foreign governments, let alone the 17 government agencies. The government has admitted this Bill C-51 is fundamentally flawed so we must ask ourselves, why the rush to push through parliament? They must withdraw this bill. Rosemary Leslie

Okanagan-Shuswap MP needs to vote against legislation The government’s secret police Bill C-51 is reckless, dangerous and ineffective. The bill is reckless because it turns CSIS into a ‘secret police’ force with little oversight or accountability. It is dangerous because it opens the door for violations of our Charter Rights including censorship of free expression online. It is ineffective because it will lead to dragnet surveillance and information sharing on innocent Canadians that even Stephen Harper has admitted is ineffective. To make matters worse the government is trying to push this law through parliament in record time. Before Canadians knew what

was in Bill C-51, 17 per cent opposed it. Three weeks later, they found out. Now 50 per cent oppose it. The more Canadians learn about what’s in this bill, the less they like it – that’s why opinion is changing so fast. If the bill passes, your sensitive private information would be shared between no fewer than 17 government agencies and even handed to foreign governments. This includes sensitive information that can reveal everything from your financial status to your medical history, your sexual orientation, and even your religious and political beliefs. Victims of these privacy breaches wouldn’t even be informed – that means the govern-

ment could spy on anyone, at anytime, and we wouldn’t even know when we’ve been a victim. Do we really want the government to create a shadowy and unaccountable secret police force that will trample on innocent citizens’ freedoms? Over 110,000 people have already spoken out. The government has admitted Bill C-51 is fundamentally flawed, so they must withdraw the legislation, go back to the drawing board and start over. Our MP, Colin Mayes, needs to vote against this bill. Neil Caves

Proposed law should be a wake-up call for the Canadian voters Colin Mayes, I’d like you to take note that Canadians overall are very good people. Always have been. We are individuals in our behaviour and thinking and we want to stay that way. Being spied on rips away the integral freedom to be yourself, whatever that looks

like. The self important ones in Ottawa want this Bill C-51 pushed through quickly so Canadians are caught not looking. The need to spy on people is only done by those that have enormous secrets to hide for themselves. Scrap Bill C-51 immediately. This is a huge call for

all Canadians to change government structure and accountability. We’re long overdue to rid ourselves of the corporate thugs that think they run the show in our Canada. Barbara Resendes

Women’s rec soccer seeks new players By Martha Wickett OBSERVER STAFF

Heavy hitter: Salmon Arm Bantam A’s Jake Crandlemire sends the ball into the outfield at his first at bat of the year in spring league exhibition play against Vernon’s AA team at Blackburn Park on Sunday, April 12.

Spring baseball makes return Spring signals the start of many things, and one of those is the opening of the baseball season. The Salmon Arm Bantam A team kicked off their spring league with an exhibition game against a Vernon AA team Sunday at Blackburn Park. In the first two innings, both teams had some rust to shake off. Once they got going, both teams played well and the game

was deadlocked at 1-1 going into the top of the fifth inning. Vernon capitalized on some earlyseason errors, however, and took a commanding lead in the fifth. Salmon Arm gave up a couple more runs in the top of the sixth and were down 14-2 after six complete innings. After allowing one more in the top of the seventh, Salmon Arm drove in four

runs to end the game at a score of 15-6. Despite the lopsided result, and the fact they played an AA team, the game was better than the score indicated. As it was the first game of season, the team has plenty to build on. Many people passing by the field stopped and watched the boys for an inning or two, looking to get their baseball fix.

You don’t have to be an expert, but you do have to be willing to have fun and meet new friends. Shuswap Women’s Recreational Soccer Association is gearing up for its eighth season – and you’re invited. Women 19 and older – or 18 but turning 19 this year – will be hitting the pitch on Thursday evenings beginning April 23. The enthusiasm of association president and founder Edie Lowes hasn’t Eddie Lowes waned since 2007, Women’s rec when the associasoccer Founder tion was formed. “It’s great, it’s very supportive,” she says of the league, noting the word ‘recreational’ is in its name for a reason. “We really like to keep that focus – recreational. Everybody has to get up and go to work in the morning.” She says team reps are great at nicely bringing the focus back to fun if the odd player tends to get too competitive. That’s not to say that players don’t play hard, but it’s not about winning at all costs. Players are supportive of one another; it’s not unusual to see the more experienced players helping out newbies and it’s not unheard of to see a player from one team See rec soccer on page A16

already know. “It’s a chance for family members to spend time together – sisters, cousins, moms and daughters… people who work together – it’s another way to add a bit more bonding.”

Lowes’ oldest daughter will be joining her this season; in previous seasons it’s been her youngest daughter. She says several family pairs are on the roster this season, as well as names of play-

ers new to the league. There’s still time to register if you do it soon, as the SWRSA board would like to have six teams playing this season. Go to http://www. swrsa.net/ for more information.

Jackson’s double seals SAS victory

Gabby Jackson scored twice to lift the Salmon Arm Secondary senior girls soccer team to victory in their first game of the season against Rutland Secondary 4-2, last Wednesday. Hopes are high this year for a winning season as the Jewels have eight returning players to the lineup. The Jewels started the game with lots of pace, and jumped out to an early first half lead thanks to the right boot of Elena Bruns. Rutland drew level part way through the first half with a goal of their own. Just after the start of the second half, the Voodoos scored again to take the lead. The Jewels hit back and counted with three goals in the half courtesy of Maia Mclellan and Jackson to secure all three points. In her first ever match between the woodwork, Maia Journeau made many great reflexive saves, giving the Jewels every chance to win. The Senior Jewels will look to build off their positive start to the season as the make the more than 550 kilometre journey to the provincial capital to play in the prestigious University of Victoria Spring Classic Senior Girls Soccer Invitational tournament. The tournament features the provinces best teams over three days of action. The junior girls Jewels soccer team kick off their season this evening against W.L. Seaton Secondary, from Vernon, at the Sullivan Campus at 4 p.m.

ARIES (March 21-April 19): Expect the unexpected as the Sun, Moon and Uranus join up in your sign. You’ll feel fiery, feisty, restless and rather rebellious but pace yourself Rams, or you’re likely to blow a fuse! It’s the best week of the year to start a diet, update your image, initiate personal projects and turn pipe dreams into positive action. But be careful you’re not carried away with big ideas and grandiose schemes. TAURUS (April 20-May 20): This week’s stars are busy and frantic, and Bulls are likely to feel somewhat bamboozled when urgent requests come at you from all directions. Activities like meditation, contemplation, journal writing, yoga and spiritual study are all favored, as you tune into the thoughtful Taurean within. GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Are you surrounded by positive people who encourage your ambitions and share your dreams? The New Moon energizes your networking zone so itís a terrific time to fraternize with new friends; make fortuitous work contacts; join a group, club or organization; plus re-connect with overseas mates in person or online. CANCER (June 21-July 22): With the assertive Aries New Moon in your career zone (and Saturn in your work zone) there is no substitute for being proactive and working hard, as you power through projects and face challenges head on. Your motto for the moment is from fashion designer, Victoria Beckham (born on April 17) “I believe you can achieve anything if you work hard enough to get it.” LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): With the New Moon and Uranus activating your adventure/travel zone, you’re restless and ready for a challenge so it’s time to introduce an exciting international flavor to the mix. Start planning (and saving) for that European escape, Timbuktu trek or heavenly Himalayan holiday ASAP! VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): With Venus visiting your career zone (until May 8) is there more you can do to create harmony and happiness in your place of employment? Or perhaps you could participate in some sort of volunteer work, where you also find new friends and expand your social circle? Tackle weekend challenges with extra Virgo vim and vigor, as the New Moon reinvigorates your sense of purpose.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Are you sick and tired of being single? Romantic sparks are set to fly, as the New Moon and Uranus rev up your relationship zone. But the course of true love won’t run smoothly so be prepared for a wild card. As celebrated writer (and fellow Libran) Oscar Wilde declared “To love oneself is the beginning of a lifelong romance.” SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Serious Scorpios can get stuck in a boring rut but the stars have some surprises for you this week, as your daily routine is shaken, stirred and turned upside down. The New Moon lights up your wellbeing zone so it’s a good time to diet, detox or de-stress plus find fun ways to boost your fitness levels. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Get set for a big week, as you overdo just about everything. Under the influence of Mars and Jupiter, you’re inclined to be generous and garrulous; enthusiastic and exhausting; restless and reckless; passionate and pushy. But jumping to conclusions could land you in hot water – especially when it comes to a child, teenager or friend. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Capricorns are conscientious and ambitious – but you can also be a carping critic (of yourself and others). And, as Pluto transits slowly through your sign, it intensifies your tendency to be obsessive and focus on perceived failures – before you finally get to the stage where you can transform your life, like the butterfly emerging from the chrysalis. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Find exciting and novel ways you can utilise your eclectic talents within your local community. You’ve got a need for speed, which makes you more accident-prone than usual. Less haste and more concentration will ensure that you arrive at each destination safe and sound. And it would be wise to handle a feisty family member with an extra dose of diplomacy. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): The New Moon’s stimulating your $$$ zone, so itís the best time of the year to commit yourself to a responsible new financial plan as you rejig your budget, reign in spending and boost cash flow. With Venus visiting your home zone, find fun (and inexpensive) ways you can bring more beauty, creativity and harmony into your domestic environment. Music, candles and fresh flowers are a must!

He has had dozens of former students who have pursued careers as professional musicians or music teachers. Bennett has played with the Vancouver Philharmonic Orchestra, the Kamloops Symphony Orchestra, Orchestra Viva, has subbed in with the Okanagan and Prince George Symphony Orchestras and has performed regularly with brass and jazz ensembles. The strings portion of the festival takes place Monday, April 20 to Wednesday, April 22 at St. Andrew’s Presbyterian Church, 1981 Ninth Ave. NE, beginning at 9 a.m. each day. The adjudicator is award-winning violinist Müge Büyükçelen. Born in 1975 in Istanbul, Turkey, she started playing the violin at age nine.

Sun shines on Sebell

People power: Vote for local artist in Indie Awards. by barb brouwer OBSErvEr STAFF

Along with changing his name, Greg Sczebel has made a successful leap from Christian rock to the mainstream market. Now known in the music scene as Sebell, the talented singersongwriter is up for two Indie Awards – Single of the Year for Till the Sun Burns Out and Pop Artist of the Year. Humble as always, Sebell says he was shocked and surprised to be nominated in these two prestigious categories. “The company I am with are all incredibly talented artists and they’re creating a lot of buzz right now,” he says. Sebell explains that the indie music scene has changed a great deal, with big-time artists having ties with major labels but are still considered to be independent. “I have a deal with Universal Canada but my album is being released on my own label Show & Tell: Music in conjunction with Universal,” he says, noting the Indie Awards are specifically

for artists who are considered to be independent.” Sebell calls the nominations validating and encouraging. “I was basically changing sound, genres and name, it’s a nice reminder that it was the right move.” One recent enjoyable move was a call to the stage to perform at an Juno after-party hosted by esteemed Canadian record producer, guitarist, vocalist, and songwriter Daniel Lanois. On the work scene, Sebell is devoting his time to writing and working with producers in LA and Toronto – in “heavy creative mode.” That includes music video shoots, writing for other Canadian artists and prepping to perform at the North by Northeast (NXNE) music festival in June in Toronto. A remix of his song Promiseland hit it big on blog world, climbing to number three on the Hype Machine charts. And a video has just surfaced on YouTube of dancers from the D.side Dance Studio in Kiev,

Concert puts spring in song By Barb Brouwer OBSERVER STAFF

Their numbers are dwindling, but the Shuswap Singers are ready to put a musical spring in your step. Spring Fling takes place at 2:30 p.m. Sunday, April 19 at First United Church. Led by Lori Onsorge, Shuswap Singers will offer a bouquet of music that will ring of country roots, marital bliss, spiritual swing and welcome home. Guest artists include Rough Pearl – Susan Aylard on fiddle, Sonja Heide on guitar and Marcus Abramzik on bass fiddle. A Salmon Arm Secondary grad, Abramzik has performed all over

BARB BROUWER/OBSERVER

Warm-up: Director Lori Onsorge rehearses with members of the Shuswap Singers and accompanist Andrew Stoney. Canada, played at the South by Southwest Music Festival in Austin, Texas and has toured in Europe and Asia. He currently plays with several Vancouver bands. Shuswap Singers

president Geoff Benson is excited about this year’s Spring Fling, but concerned about the group’s dwindling numbers. “We really need to buff up; we need people who want to sing,” he says of the group that

two years ago had 60 members, and is down to 37. “It’s a non-auditioned group and if you’re not familiar with music you can learn from everyone else.” Benson says twothirds of the group are women. “We need more men; were desperate for tenor and getting almost desperate for baritones,” he says. Everyone is welcome and fees are kept low to encourage membership. In the meantime, Shuswap Singers would welcome a large audience for Sunday’s concert. Tickets are $12 at the door and $6 for students. Advance tickets are available at Wearabouts or Acorn Music.

Earth Day program ponders planet at risk Earth Day will be marked locally by a public program on the topic, ‘Our Earth and Climate Change: What Can We Do?’ The program will take place at 7 p.m. at First United Church Wednesday, April 22, and is sponsored by the Salmon Arm Ecumenical KAIROS Committee, with support from the Shuswap Environmental Action Society (SEAS), Wetlands Alliance: the Ecological Response (WA:TER) and Canadian Association of Physicians for the Environment (CAPE). Organizers say Canada’s record on climate change is one of the worst globally and the upcoming federal election provides an opportunity for Canadians to influence the government to sign a strong climate treaty. “If we act now, in sufficient numbers, then climate change can be contained within manageable bounds. If not, the consequences are likely to be very destabilizing,” says presenter Warren Bell. “While action at the national and international levels is vital, it is also important to press regional and local governments to develop adaptation measures to

help communities cope with the escalating impacts of global warming: drought, floods, fires and extreme weather events,” adds SEAS president Jim Cooperman. The Earth Day program will feature four short films showing why we need to be extremely concerned about what is happen-

ing to the Earth’s climate, and also, what we can do about it. This is a free public program; all interested persons welcome. For more information, call Anne Morris at 250833-5773. As well, Ecojustice and the David Suzuki Foundation have a national campaign to amend the Canadian

Charter of Rights and Freedoms to guarantee every Canadian’s right to a healthy environment. This Blue Dot Movement is named for the unique way the Earth is seen from space. On April 18, residents can show support for the Blue Dot Movement by signing a petition at the Mall at Piccadilly.

Important Notice to Resource Road Users A province wide, safety-oriented project is underway to standardize twoway radio communications on forest service roads and some resource roads. This project includes standardized signage, new dedicated resource road radio channels and standardized call procedures. The Okanagan Shuswap Forest District, along with other districts in the Southern and Northern Interior, will be implementing new resource road radio channels commencing on May 4, 2015. Districts on the Coast and in the Cariboo have already transitioned or are currently transitioning. Forest industry workers and other road users using mobile radios must have their radios reprogrammed to incorporate the new resource road channels. It is recommended that road users retain current radio frequencies until they are sure they are no longer required. New signs posted on local resource roads indicate which radio channel to use and the calling interval, with drivers required to indicate their direction of travel and their vehicle type. Drivers using mobile radios must call according to the posted channels and call protocols. All road users are reminded that forest service roads are not radiocontrolled, but radio-assisted. All users should drive safely and according to road and weather conditions. It is strongly recommended that all resource road users exercise additional caution during this transition period. Local resource road safety committees have worked together to implement these changes. More information (including radio communications protocols, radio channels, maps and standardized signs) is available online at: www.for.gov.bc.ca/hth/engineering/Road_Radio_Project.htm If you have questions about this project, please contact the Okanagan Shuswap Forest District Office (Ministry of Forests, Lands and Natural Resource Operations) at (250) 558-1700, the website above, or Industry Canada at 1 800 667-3780.

They’re running out of steam and if they don’t get help, the only Canada Day event in Salmon Arm will close down. “We’re not kidding; volunteers are needed to pull this off,” says organizer Kari Wilkinson, noting Jan Naylor organized the Canada Day Children’s Festival for 18 years. “A group of us took it on and have been running it for six years, but we’re running out of steam.” The festival is an extremely popular family event attended by approximately 5,000 people each year. The core planning committee consists of seven non-paid, community members who spend countless hours putting this festival together. The committee is now gearing up for the 2015 edition and is

looking for serious volunteer commitment. While more than 100 volunteers help out on the day of the event, Wilkinson says help is needed for set-up on June 30 and tear-down and tidy-up right after the festival. The planning committee would like to find approximately 25 to 30 (strong) people to lighten the load. Organizers are asking service groups, church groups, businesses, and anyone else who could spare a couple of energetic hours to help. “If there are a lot of people, we can set up in about four hours, but when there’s just four of us, we basically spend two 12-hour days,” says Wilkinson, noting similarly, tear-down could be accomplished in about three hours. “We’re not getting paid, we’re doing this out of the goodness of our

hearts because we want Salmon Arm to have an event like this.” Young people are encouraged to volunteer during the event, but those under 12 must be accompanied by an adult. Students get certificates noting the number of hours they volunteer for credit at their schools. “It would be great if we get some groups (Scouts, Guides, air or army cadets) but we need an adult to supervise them,” Wilkinson says. Organizers are also open to new activities, with one caveat. “We don’t allow the selling of items,” she says. “We want this festival to be a “free-forall; we don’t want them to walk in and feel like they have to drop $50.” Contact Karen or Kari at volunteer@sachildrensfest.com if you can help.

DE COSTE, CURTIS ANTHONY 1941-2015 Curtis was born in Nova Scotia June 11, 1941. At the age of 15, Curtis went to cooking school where he graduated as a chef.

Upon arriving in BC, he decided to stay permanently. He was employed with Kingcome Navigation and moved from there to Sea Span where he stayed until he retired to Sorrento, BC. In 1980 he married Louise and they had a son Curtis and a daughter Michelle. He enjoyed cooking for all of them. In Sorrento he enjoyed the outdoors and gardening.

RODERICK BRYAN McCONNELL June 26, 1955 - March 31, 2015 It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Rod McConnell after a brief illness. Rod will be greatly missed by his mother, Shirley, his best friend, Shannon, his four sons, Kyle, Bryan, Stephen & Sheldon, three daughters, Trisha, Tanya & Tonia, his siblings Wayne & Maureen, 17 grandchildren, and numerous nieces and nephews. He was predeceased by his daughter Pauline (2005), his brother Leslie (2006) and his father Lloyd (2008). He will be remembered most for his sense of humour, his love of music (particularly harmonica) and most importantly, his love for his family. No funeral service by request; however a Celebration of Life will be held later this spring. If love could have saved you, you would have lived forever. SCHMIDT, GISELA ANNA (nee Jorss) 1923-2015 Gisela passed away peacefully at Hillside Village on March 30, 2015 at the age of 91 years. She was born and raised in Hamburg, Germany and in postwar years worked as a drafts person/technician for a manufacturing firm in Esslingen Germany. In 1966 she immigrated to Canada and married Reinhold, whose career took them to many exotic places in the far East. Returning to Canada, they spent years in SK, AB, and BC enjoying travel and social life with many acquaintances and friends. Gisela was an expert seamstress and dappled in scenic photography. As a lifelong companion of dogs, she was predeceased by many canine champions… her last, Max. She loved and respected all animals and she spent as much of her life as possible outdoors during her frequent walks. Gisela was feisty and independent, with a dry sense of humor that at times was unexpected. If you had the patience to get to know her, she as a loyal and generous friend. Gisela was proud being a Canadian; a highlight of her life was when she became a citizen of Canada (1970). We became acquainted with Gisela at a difficulty point in her life and came to know a spirited lady quite by accident. We will treasure and remember friendship shared with her. It was a special kind of journey walking and being part of her life as a widow. She is survived by her stepson Kurt Schmidt of Leduc, AB as well as friends Brenda and Joe. No service at her request. Many grateful thanks to the kind and compassionate staff at Hillside Village for adding light to her life for three years. Thanks also to Curtis Horne who made her laugh and added to the quality of her life in her twilight years.

PATERSON, ELSIE IRENE TWEEDDALE Elsie Irene Tweeddale Paterson passed away January 23, 2015 at the age of 96 years. A true pioneer of the Eagle Valley, Elsie was born on June 23, 1918, in a log house at Solsqua, B.C. Her parents, William and Elizabeth Hollett, immigrants from England, were some of the first settlers in the area. Our mother lived a full and active life in Salmon Arm for over 80 years. She became a Teacher’s Aid where she enjoyed working for the School District until her retirement at age 65. She was a devoted volunteer with many organizations, particularly the Canadian Cancer Society and the Parkinson Society, and truly believed in giving back to the community. Maintaining an active lifestyle, Elsie loved to dance, hike the Rockies, cross-country ski and travel the world. During her travels over four continents she met with members of her extended family and new friends that she made along the way. Australia was a favourite destination to visit with her eldest son, Lyle, and his family. Elsie was predeceased by her parents, her first husband E.A.C. (Gus) Tweeddale in 1969, her sister, Phyllis Thomas in 2004 and her son, Ned Tweeddale in 2005. Elsie is survived by her loving and dedicated family; husband Gavin Paterson, daughters Judy Birkhiem (Vic) of Salmon Arm, Mary Lougheed of Langley, Cathy Mitchell (Kevin) of Langley and son Lyle (Margaret) of Brisbane, Australia; grandchildren and great grandchildren. Also survived by Gavin’s children; Ralph (Joan) of California, Phillip (Tammy) of Calgary, Ken (Donna) of Salmon Arm, Elaine of Vernon and their children. Friends and family are invited to attend the celebration of life service at the First United Church in Salmon Arm on Saturday afternoon, May 2nd at 1 p.m. with Reverend Lynn Elliott officiating. A reception will follow in the Church hall. Arrangements are in the care of Bowers Funeral Home and Crematorium. The family wishes to extend a special thank you to the staff at Piccadilly Terrace and Piccadilly Care Centre, her daughter Judy Birkhiem, dear friend Irene Rogers and Dr. Cindy Malinowski, for the wonderful care that our mother received. In lieu of flowers, donations in memory of Elsie may be made to Parkinson Society British Columbia, Attention: Susan Atkinson, 600 – 890 West Pender Street Vancouver, BC V6C 1J9 Online condolences may be sent to Elsie’s obituary at www.bowersfuneralservice.com

HELEN TOEBOSCH (MOBLEY) OCTOBER 15, 1934 - APRIL 3, 2015 Helen Marie Toebosch passed away suddenly at Shuswap Lake General Hospital on Friday evening, April 3, 2015 at the age of 80 years. She was predeceased by her husband Larry in May 2002, her parents Bill and Elsie Mobley, brother Ron Mobley, sister Lorraine Mackay, and her two favourite uncles Frank and Howard Mobley. Helen will be deeply missed by her children David Toebosch (Doreen), granddaughter Krissy Toebosch (Rikki Barden), grandson Kyle Toebosch (Heather Curle); Gary Toebosch (Merry Smith); Tia Seto; and Tara Toebosch (Darryl Faustman), grandson Jacob Faustman; sister Alyce Renaud (Leon); numerous nieces, nephews, cousins and many dear - some lifelong - friends. Helen was born in Kamloops, BC on October 15, 1934 to her parents William (Bill) and Elsie Mobley. The Mobley family name is synonymous with Sunnybrae, where Helen spent most of her early life. She graduated from Salmon Arm Senior Secondary in 1952 and worked as a telephone operator for two years at Okanagan Telephone Co. During this time Helen met the love of her life, Lorance (Larry) Matheus Toebosch. They courted nearly two years and were engaged on Christmas day 1953 in Sunnybrae. They married on June 12, 1954 in Tappen, BC. Four years later they welcomed the birth of their first child, David. Larry and Helen’s idea of the perfect family was two boys and two girls, so they adopted their son Gary, and daughters Tia and Tara. They also had numerous foster children over the years. Helen started her own daycare in 1976 and over the next 15 years she babysat nearly 100 children. In 1990, Helen closed her daycare and took the Long Term Care Aide course. Upon her graduation she worked for a year at SLGH and then Bastion Place. She retired in 1997. Larry and Helen built their retirement home in Notch Hill in 1991. Helen had a passion for gardening - especially her flowerbeds, any kind of ice cream and the colour pink! Helen was unconditional and she lived her life with dignity and grace. She was a quiet and gentle soul who was known for her beautiful smile, her twinkling blue eyes and her wit. She (and Larry) touched many lives and will be deeply missed and remembered by many. A celebration of Helen’s life was held at Bowers Funeral Home on Saturday, April 11, 2015. Should you wish to do so, donations can be made in Helen’s name, to the Shuswap Lake General Hospital Foundation, Box 265, Salmon Arm, BC V1E 4N3. The family would like to thank Dr. Levins, Dr. Reid, and the nursing staff at SLGH. Online condolences may be sent through Helen’s obituary at www.bowersfuneralservice.com

The passing of a loved one, combined with the burden of making the right decisions often leaves a family feeling overwhelmed. We are committed to quality funeral arrangements, peace of mind, dignity and understanding to those we serve through our staff and facilities.

Salmon Arm Competitive Gymnastics Team and Momentum Gymnastics would like to introduce the young athletes of Salmon Arm. We are the smallest club in BC that competes in Tumbling and Trampoline with only having one athlete in all three subjects, Trampoline, Double mini and Tumbling. Will Harasym is 10 years old and has placed top ten in all events, taking a silver in trampoline and gold in tumbling at two competitions this winter. Momentum has 6 girls that compete at different levels in tumbling and also place top ten. Emma Kujat won silver at Shasta in Feb and again at Wildwest festival in Kamloops March2015. Jessie Ellerbeck-Hanna took bronze at Shasta and Amy Baker made team BC last year in tumbling. The artistic program is larger with over 20 girls that compete on floor, beam, uneven bars and the vault. Many of these girls finish top 10 in their levels. Meghan Kujat was gold medalist for BC champs P3 division in 2014. In order for our athletes to continue to train and grow in their skills we need to upgrade our trampoline. We are hosting a By Donation Garage Sale on April 18th 2015 at Thread and Paper parking lot from 9am-2pm. There will be demonstrations, bake sale and hot dog BBQ sponsored by Sedoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Butchery. Please come out and support our efforts to provide improved equipment so we can continue to show BC that our small town gymnastics club can produce some of BCâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s best athletes. For more information about our Garage sale or to help support our gymnastics team please email: Alissa Harasym acrozier@telus.net
