Banks kept out of malls By Martha Wickett
obServer STAFF
Salmon Arm council has said no – for now – to locating financial institutions at Piccadilly or centenoka Park malls. The no vote came in response to an application from the owner of the Mall at Piccadilly, Standard life Assurance company of canada, to add financial institution to the list of permitted uses in the c-7 shopping centre commercial zone. c-7 is the zone governing both malls. At the city’s Jan. 5 planning meeting, council requested input from the Salmon Arm chamber of commerce, the Salmon Arm economic development Society and downtown Salmon Arm. The ensuing opinions were discussed at the Monday, Jan. 26 council meeting. Two out of three of the organizations were opposed. The chamber was in support of the plan, stating its board believes a precedent was set in 2010 when the council of the day approved the rezoning of the uptown Askew’s property to allow for an additional branch of the Salmon Arm Savings and credit union. downtown Salmon Arm expressed opposition, stating the loss of one financial institution would have a long-term ripple effect in terms of foot traffic and the potential for an empty building. economic development was also against, stating now is a pivotal point for the economy, and the banks, as “anchor tenants” that generate significant traffic, should be retained. “With changing factors such as population growth and online banking trends, there will likely be a time in our future when the proposed zoning amendment will fit well with our economy and community vision…,” added the society. council discussed the application at length. In the end, the wish to preserve the viability of the downtown at what may be a vulnerable time was the overriding sentiment. coun. Ken Jamieson was alone in voting for the amendment, stating he’d like to see it receive first and second reading, then a public hearing, and then be held at final reading until a specific financial institution comes forward. Mayor nancy cooper excused herself from discussions as she is a member of the SAScu board.

Board wants wage freeze lifted Education: Trustees lobby province for executive salary increases. By Tracy hughes obServer STAFF
School district #83 trustees have petitioned the b.c. government to remove a wage freeze and provide salary increases for their non-unionized administration employees. In an oct. 20, 2014 letter provided anonymously to the Observer, the board expresses concern to both the b.c. education and Finance ministers about the compensation freeze for management and executive staff. The freeze applies to executives like upper management of the school district, as well as principals and vice-principals. When questioned about the school

board’s position on the lifting of the freeze, bobbi Johnson, school board chairperson, said it is an issue of fairness. “As with the other groups, cuPe and the teachers, we have advocated for a fair wage for them. We did that for the others and we feel a responsibility to advocate for this group as well. We recognize that they deserve a raise like everyone else.” The highest-paid school district employee is superintendent Glenn borthistle who, in the past fiscal year, earned $143,766. other upper-management staff have salaries around the $120,000 mark, while principals’ salaries hover around $100,000. vice-principal salaries are generally set in the $80,000 to $95,000 range.
In compliance with legislation, reports on all staff salaries greater than $75,000 are publicly available on the School district #83 website under the finance tab. In response to the Observer’s questions about the freeze, the Ministry of education emailed a statement saying, “controlling compensation in this way has been an important step in achieving and maintaining a balanced budget.” It goes on to say, “While b.c’s fiscal situation has improved since 2012, it’s not yet at a point where the freeze can be lifted.” The ministry statement also notes that nearly 60 per cent of the province’s budSee Wages on page A2

Special report
Wages remain at 2009 level Continued from front get goes to salaries and benefits and the “government is seeking to balance affordability with fair and reasonable compensation levels.” When asked about the school board advocating for salary increases for employees already in the top tier of school district wages, Johnson reiterated that the issue is about equal treatment of workers. “There are going to be those people who disagree, but I’d like to think the whole system sees the fairness of that.” Johnson says the salary increases gained by teachers during the time of the executive wage freeze have resulted in a situation where the top teacher wages are at similar levels as viceprincipals. The letter from the school district indicates management and executive staff have not had wage increases since 2009; however, the Ministry of Education states the freeze has been in effect since 2011. Sterling Olson, secretary-treasurer for the district, says the discrepancy in the dates is likely due to the B.C. government’s using two different terms for salary cap — but the bottom line is school district executive and management staff have not had a wage increase since 2009. The school board’s letter states: “So from July 1, 2006 through to Jan. 1, 2015, teachers will have had salary increases of over 9.5 per cent greater than our (principals and
vice-principals) and exempt staff and other improvements to their benefit plans.” Support staff in the Canadian Union of Public Employees have also had wage increases. In December, CUPE signed a fiveyear deal with a 5.5-per cent pay hike. Brenda O’Dell, president of the North Okanagan Shuswap Teachers Association, says the teachers’ union supports fair compensation for everyone in the system. She noted the school board trustees stated they would advocate for salary increases for
pen with the executive compensation letter in October. O’Dell herself wasn’t informed of the board’s letter directly but found out through a representative from another school district. “It was certainly handled in a more quiet way,” she said. The board’s advocacy for lifting the wage freeze comes at a time when the North Okanagan Shuswap school district is facing a reduction in its budget of between $1.3 million and $2.8 million. The extent of the budget reduction also depends, in part, on whether
There are going to be those people who disagree, but I’d like to think the whole system sees the fairness of that.
Our principals, viceprincipals and administration, they work very hard to keep the system running. The system depends on them, just as it depends on teachers and CUPE staff.” O’Dell, too, wants to see any salary increase funded by government. This school district is not alone in advocating for an end to the management wage freeze. The Okanagan Skaha School district has done the same, as have at least five other school districts in the province.
the negotiated salary increases for teachers following the recent teachers’ strike will be funded by the ministry. The school district is asking that any executive or management wage increases be fully funded by the government, not drawn out of the current budget, so they would not result in any reduction of services for students. “We really need the government to stand up and pay for this and other increases,” says Johnson. “The government itself gave its own people raises a while ago. That’s what makes us so upset, because if they are giving raises to some, it should carry on through the system.
Concerned about the line-up? We need to hear from you now!
The North Okanagan-Shuswap School District is trying to gauge the number of families interested in registering their child(ren) for French Immersion Kindergarten at Bastion Elementary for September, 2015. In a continued effort to avoid the need for the lengthy line-up, the district is asking parents to please call Bastion Principal Isabelle Gervais at (250) 832- 3741 prior to January 30, 2015 at 2:30 p.m. to indicate their interest and have any questions they may have answered. A meeting for all of those interested in French Immersion Kindergarten will be held at Bastion Elementary on March 3 at 7 p.m. at which time it will be determined whether French Immersion registration can be held at the meeting, or whether a first-come, first-served registration will be required.

Expenses under scrutiny

School district: Spending to be part of upcoming budget talks. By Tracy Hughes OBSERVER STAFF
Remuneration & Expenses for SD#83 executives Postion
As the school district prepares to wrestle with the impending deficit for the upcoming budget year, school district staff expenses are also facing review. School board chair Bobbi Johnson says the school board took a close look at expense items in the previous budget deliberations, as trustees were looking at all areas of the budget in order to make reductions with the least impact on student services. “It gets scrutinized quite carefully at the board office. We get reports so we can see and ask questions.” Employee expenses are defined by the school district’s statement of financial information as including: “payments to or on behalf of, the employee for approved school district business expenditures such as travel, professional development, and association memberships, incurred in the normal course of activities as an employee of the board.” Johnson says there were cuts made to expense budgets last year and this may happen again during the upcoming budget discussions. “Those are spots we’ll be nailing down again this year, as we have to find the money for the budget from somewhere.” Expense amounts vary widely across the district. The highest expenses are logged by school district upper management, all of whom claimed between

There are layers of approval to ensure all expenses incurred are appropriate and valid. Brenda O’Dell, president of the North Okanagan Shuswap Teachers Association, noted there are differences between expense accounts for teachers and manage-
ment staff. “It seems some of those expense accounts are among the highest in the province,” she said. Sterling Olson, secretary-treasurer, says there is accountability in the expense process. Each school or district department has an expense budget and all requests for reimbursement must have receipts and be approved by the staff member’s supervisor. This can also be scrutinized by the board and administration. “There are layers of approval to ensure all expenses incurred are appropriate and valid,” says Olson. The board can review expenses; however, Johnson says it is not the board’s job to micro-manage each cost. “We have staff who are very knowledgeable and we respect their judgment on what (professional development)
expenses are a worthwhile investment.” Johnson reiterated that professional development activities by teachers and staff often have direct educational payoffs to student learning. Olson also points out that teachers, for example, have a certain amount of professional development funds earmarked in their employment benefit contract with the government, which cannot simply be cut from the district’s budget. A full report on expenses submitted by employees and school district trustees is available for those employees making a salary of greater than $75,000 per year. Olson says those employees making less than $75,000 may still incur expense claims. However, they are not required to be reported in the same way.

Blackburn Park camping OK’d By Martha Wickett
MARKET NEWS STAFF
City council has decided to give it a one-year trial. In response to a proposal from Coun. Alan Harrison, the city’s liaison with the Roots and Blues Festival, the majority of council agreed Monday to allow about 50 tenting spots on the southeast baseball diamond at the corner of 10th Avenue and Fifth Street SW during the festival. He said it would be a low-cost way for the city
to help make the festival financially successful this year, as it could mean 50 more festival tickets. Other councillors agreed to the trial except Coun. Kevin Flynn, who said he’s all for the festival but expressed concerns about hurting camping businesses, about parking and about setting a precedent. Coun. Louise Wallace-Richmond stepped out as she is on the festival board. Mayor Nancy Cooper said she doesn’t see it as precedent-setting because accommodations are full for the event.

Festival in rebuild mode By Barb Brouwer OBSERVER STAFF
They may be down, but they’ve been down before and they’re planning on getting back up – sooner rather than later. “I want to congratulate everyone who worked on the festival; it’s been a challenging and difficult year but artistically excellent,” said Salmon Arm Folk Music Society chair Lody Kieken at last Tuesday’s AGM. BDO Dunwoody partner Jeff Johnson provided financial statements in a notice of review in lieu of an audit. “It saves the society a bunch of money because we don’t spend as much time as an audit,” said Johnson. “But I am not saying the numbers aren’t right.” The statement of operations reveals that the budget for performers was reduced by about $100,000, but the costs of venues and equipment were up $36,116 over 2013. Subcontracting costs were up $37,426 over the previous year and research, training and networking was up by $8,000, resulting in a deficit of $108,000. Last year the artistic director and general manager duties were split into two paid positions, with Peter North
taking over the artistic side and Jay Scott being hired as general manager. Scott is no longer with the festival and this year, those duties are expected to be absorbed by current staff – specific details are being worked out.
Lody Kieken Roots and Blues ChaiR
Even though we don’t have a headliner, we have great surprises every year. Johnson noted another hit in 2014 was the loss of a $50,000 sponsorship from Sirius. As well, ticket sales were down $30,000 from the previous year for a downturn of $90,000. Kieken said organizers count on almost 50 per cent of ticket sales at the gate. He believes a wet-weather forecast kept many people away. “We’ve had bad years
before and come out of them,” he said, pointing out almost all festivals in the country reported a significant decline. North’s report was included in the agenda but he was not in attendance as thick fog prevented his plane from landing in Kelowna. Broaching complaints of a lack of well-known headliners, Kieken noted one such act would take the festival’s entire artistic budget. “Even though we don’t have a headliner, we have great surprises every year,” he said. “Before the festival, I’m asked about headliners; afterwards they say ‘I saw so and so on a side stage and it was awesome.’” Grateful for continuing volunteer support, Kieken recognized departing board members, including Robin Cyr, who will continue to work with the board in her capacity as Shuswap Tourism manager. Also departing is nineyear veteran Larry Keats, described as a “huge asset who will continue to volunteer, along with Tracy Nash and Kelly Moores. Welcomed to the board were Elaine Holmes, Steve Atkins, Alan Bates and Brenda M’Clellan, who will serve as secretary.
Kieken also introduced Coun. Alan Harrison, the new liaison between the board and Salmon Arm council. Responding to a question from Amy Huppler, board member Bernd Hermanski explained the society does not hold several interim concerts as in the early years because they became a financial liability and a drain on volunteers. He is also optimistic about the 2015 festival. “After all the dire hand-wringing, it looks like ticket sales are way up from last year,” he said. “I don’t know why. Marketing, community support because we have had a bad year, publicity?” Also upbeat, Harrison sees the festival as a benefit to the community and one that’s worth working for and trying to make sustainable. “Roots and Blues is a fabulous event for Salmon Arm and region and I think it provides us both culturally and economically with a boost,” he said, noting there’s no other local event that draws 20,000 people. “Over the years it has had ups and downs but I think there’s a very dedicated and passionate board who are continuing to make the festival special and sustainable.”

FOR WHAT IT’S WORTH
Tracy Hughes
No screen, no problem
It was one of those shining moments in parenting. All three of my children got together and approached me with pink Unplug and Play passports in hand. “We want to do this,” they said. “We can do a week without screen time.” Whoa. Since some of the biggest battles in our household involve children fighting over TV and computer time, I was stunned into silence for a moment. I had tossed the idea around in my own mind, but hadn’t brought myself to face what I thought would be a gauntlet of whining and moaning over cuts to their screen time. Now, here I was in disbelief that the kids had decided this would be a cool thing to do all on their own. There are a few ground rules. Homework (and adult work) computer use is authorized, as is family movie night, but all other screens are out for the week. We sat down and perused the leaflet showing some of the fun options organized by the Literacy Alliance of the Shuswap, and tried to pick out ones that fit into our busy schedule. But we also thought up some things that we might like to do just on our own. We tromped through the snow of our front yard and hung the Grade One project bird feeder, which turned into the making of snow gummy bears, as snowmen were just not exciting enough. The net result was rosy cheeks, soggy mittens and a healthy sense of bliss. The kids are even policing me. “Mom, do you really need to be checking your email again...” said my daughter. No. I didn’t. Instead I joined my twins in a rousing game of Blokus, where I have to admit that my six-year-old daughter legitimately beat me for the first time. We’re now on day four and, while I have had to dodge the giant Lego sculptures in the living room and pick up a myriad of pink construction paper bits from creating the homemade Valentine’s session, it has been an enjoyable experience. Sure, some of the screen time fights have now devolved into fighting over who gets to read the Ninjago book, but I can live with that. Eliminating screens from our lives is simply not going to happen. And technology can be a blessing. My kids are way more engaged with earning their way through the various “animal levels” on a math computer program than they are sitting with me and doing a worksheet. But, as with so many things in life, it’s about balance and moderation. Screen time can become an addictive pastime and lead us to forget about the power of faceto-face conversation, active playtime and appreciation for the beauty and wonder of our outdoor environment. It’s not too late to get started. Unplug and Play week runs until Jan. 31. Or simply set up your own unplugged week. You might be surprised at how eager the kids are to give it a try.

Makes sense to support camping Some people can afford vacation trips abroad or to a faraway destination, some people can’t. It used to be, however, that most everyone could afford camping. Load up the family vehicle with a tent and food from the grocery store, and you were off – with scarcely a dent in the wallet. These days, it’s a more expensive proposition, which just became a little more costly. The provincial government has just raised camping fees, effective March 15. The fees are going up between $2 and $5 per night, depending on the park. Popular Herald Park and Shuswap Lake will both be charging $32 per night.
If you’re not concerned about washroom facilities, camping remains much cheaper at provincial parks such as Adams Lake, which is listed at $13 per night. While these prices perhaps don’t seem like a big deal for some people, they just might be. In this age when the environment is suffering because of people’s disconnection to it, because of the belief that we’re somehow separate from and unaffected by it – and when more people, young and old, are consumed by their technological devices, would it not make more sense to take whatever steps necessary to encourage people to head out in nature, not discourage them?

The Observer asked:
Jamie Stefan “No, they should only be kicked out of that game, and not for any more games.”

Should spectators be banned from watching minor hockey if they display unsportsmanlike conduct?
Gayle Weed “Adults should be the positive role models, which is the whole reason we’re here – for the kids.”
Robert Rosenburg “Yes, because it doesn’t show good sportsmanship to the kids.”
Rhonda Henry “Yes, because it sends a poor example to the kids.”
Willie Farr “They should be given a warning for the first offence, then banned if they repeat.”
Wi-Fi poses History conflicts with Martin’s viewpoint a danger Wi-Fi, cell towers – what’s all the fuss? Surely, if you’ve lived in the Shuswap for any length of time, you’ve heard something about a wireless issue: Smart-meters, Wi-Fi in schools, hotspots in parks, baby monitors, cordless phones; the list goes on. Much like most of the population, I was skeptical four years ago. I’d had a lengthy career with IBM in Vancouver before coming to Salmon Arm. I was steeped in the ideology of technology as being the saviour of humanity. Surely there could be no problems with something as apparently innocuous as wireless? After all, there were rules, regulations, thresholds, and a multitude of safeguards that industry had to follow before any product was allowed on the market. And surely Health Canada was a trustworthy guardian for our well-being…, or was it? Four years ago, a single phone call from a knowledgeable friend started me questioning. What if even some of what this person had conveyed was really true? Where was the documentation on all this? Since then, I’ve spent hundreds of hours reading studies by scientists, doctors and researchers. This information has persuaded me to err on the side of caution. I do have a cell phone, but for emergency use only. The computers in the house are hardwired and wireless is turned off. I will not spend any time in businesses located adjacent to cell towers. I am convinced that, although silent and invisible, low frequency microwaves present very real health dangers. If you are one of many who feel that wireless concerns are ungrounded (pun intended), you may wish to attend the Salmon Arm-sponsored public input meeting on this subject. It will take place Jan. 29, at 7 p.m. in the council chambers. Come tomorrow and see what all the fuss is about. Ronn Boeur
I wish to correct the totally inaccurate statement made by CSRD chairperson Rhona Martin, in the Jan. 21 Salmon Arm Observer, in regard to the four-laning of the Malakwa area highway. She stated that prior to that, it was prone to bad accidents. Wrong. During the four-laning proposals in 1986-87 the main objection to it was that the area had no history of bad accidents. Recent facts prove that the Frivolous Freeway has created its own tragedies by
ending abruptly within a short distance, the most treacherous on the east end just before a two-lane bridge. It has taken 27 years to commence a correction to the original faux pas. The extension of four-laning and a new bridge should make an immense and longneeded improvement. The first changes to the Trans-Canada Highway through the Eagle Valley began in 1942 and, as a consequence of that, explains why there were no major accidents, because
some of the longest straight sections were on the site of the four-lane to nowhere. Part of that history is covered in my memoirs, Life is What Happens. I will agree that widening of highways is urgently needed but in the end not all the multi-lanes in the world can control the nut that holds the wheel. Alli M. Graham
Transportation effect negates recycling benefit I wonder about the wisdom of the council for now listing items that should be recycled and won’t be picked up curbside, but have to be sorted and taken to the depot. One of the council’s loudest arguments for adding the cost of garbage and recycling pick-up to our taxes, was to reduce the amount of harmful emissions put out by all those people driving to the dump and recycling depot. Now, we get the eco-friendly benefit of having our garbage and select recycle items picked up at the end of the drive-
way, plus the added joy of socializing at the recycling depot with all our neighbours when we deliver our non-curbside items. By requiring them to take their recyclables to a depot, you have dragged the reluctant, anti-social citizens of Salmon Arm out of their comfy ruts and thrown them headlong into being the social butterflies you know they secretly wish to be. I am not alone in offering my heartfelt gratitude to you, for knowing what my social circle was missing. But, here’s the slight blemish in your oth-
erwise stellar plan, either pick up all the recycling at the end of the driveways, or, have us enjoy the added social benefits of taking our recycling to the depot and stop charging for the recycling run the Progressive trucks make. What will I do with all that money I save when you cease charging for a service you only half deliver? Most likely use it to put gas in my car so I can go to the recycling depot. Susan Shantz
Flat-rate MSP fee penalizes Praise for the promotion of peace Coun. Tim Lavery deserves ap- participated in the third international low-income earners plause for his initiative in suggesting conference on the Humanitarian ImI know that the provincial budget is going to be announced soon. I also know that there is a possibility my MSP premiums are going to increase again. My wife and I are seniors living on a modest income. I am 71 years old and we both still have to work part time to supplement our income. The more we earn, the more income tax I have to pay, based on how much we make over the year, which I think is fair. What is not fair are the flat rate monthly MSP payments of $130, which are the same as what you pay and yet you get paid (by us taxpayers), more than double what my wife and I earn combined. This is the same amount paid by multi-
millionaire Jim Pattison for example. As I understand it, the MSP premiums go into general revenue and are therefore a form of tax. People in B.C. are starting to wake up to this glaring anomaly and are becoming incensed that they have to pay a disproportionate amount for this money grab relative to what they earn. Family friendly it is not. Incidentally, both my wife and myself are lucky enough to be in good health and our only demands on the health system are our annual medical checkups at our local clinic. For your serious consideration. James Roberts
city council add its voice to the Mayors for Peace call for the abolition of nuclear weapons (Observer, Jan. 21). Few are aware that there are still 16,400 nuclear weapons globally, 15,310 in the arsenals of the United States and Russia, the remainder held by France, China, the UK, Pakistan, India, Israel, and North Korea. Some 2,000 nuclear weapons are kept on high alert, ready to be launched at 15 minutes’ notice, greatly increasing the risk of nuclear weapons use by accident, miscalculation or madness. While progress has been made in reducing the numbers of nuclear weapons globally, no negotiations are taking place on a nuclear weapons abolition treaty. Some countries are pushing for a breakthrough by focusing on the anti-humanitarian nature of nuclear weapons and the moral hazards associated with their use, or threat of use. In December, 158 countries, plus NGOs,
pact of Nuclear Weapons. Mayors for Peace, an international organization with 6,490 member cities, including Salmon Arm, is promoting a treaty for the abolition of nuclear weapons to be concluded by 2020. Here are some steps the Canadian government could take toward that goal: • Join the majority of states that are stressing the humanitarian imperative for nuclear disarmament and endorse future statements on this theme; • Advocate for the de-alerting of those U.S. and Russian nuclear arms maintained on high alert; • Work with like-minded allies to wean NATO off its formal attachment to nuclear deterrence. A consistent global effort is needed to translate the vision of a world without nuclear weapons into reality. Canada should be part of that effort. Anne Morris

Municipal council was advised the government would pay $5 a month for four months prior to the birth of a child to any mother who was in indigent circumstances. This was for nutritional purposes and did not apply to medical or hospital costs. In 1934, outside Vancouver and Victoria, Penticton had the most sales in new cars – 143 compared to 53 the year before. The Ratepayers Association presented a petition to district council stating the assessment was too high, and requesting a reduction of a least 50 per cent.

A nipple’s a nipple. No big deal. Marlee Miege-Moffat and Marilyn Newnes support the Free the Nipple movement, which is about equal rights for men and women, the legal right for all women to breastfeed in public and a more equitable system of censorship. “I saw it online,” says MiegeMoffat of Free the Nipple. “It was interesting to see people really advocating it. I followed them on Twitter and got interested in their quality information and what they were trying to achieve.” Everyone has nipples, both males and females, note the two Salmon Arm women, and they’re tired of seeing women’s breasts sexualized. “Some people consider female breasts to be pornographic,” said Newnes, “yet they’re the most natural thing.” Miege-Moffat points out that 42 U.S. states don’t allow women to be topless at all and, in five states, they can’t breastfeed in public. In Canada, gender equality is protected in the Charter of Rights and Freedoms, but only B.C. and Ontario have laws specifically referring to breastfeeding in public.

Dr. Connolly, medical health officer, stated that smallpox quarantine cards should not raise feelings of alarm. A mild case of smallpox such as the one in town was not a serious disease, but it is thought advisable to take no chances and cases found would be isolated. In answer to the advisability of establishing a fourth-year high school class here, Mrs. J.D. McGuire, school trustee, said the matter had been considered but it had been learned the cost would be $500 for initial equipment and would mean an extra teacher.

acts of violence and killing are glorified, while images of a woman’s body are censored by the Federal Communications Commission and the Motion Picture Association of America in the U.S. Miege-Moffat walked the talk recently, posting a photo of herself on Twitter, naked from the waist up. “I’m standing looking casual. Everyone has nipples – free the nipple. I’m not doing anything provocative with my
Marlee MiegeMoffat Activist It’s having to do with the whole equality aspect – there’s so much men can do that women can’t... body, I’m just standing there normal.” She said a lot of people in Salmon Arm didn’t know what it was about. They asked her: Why did you do this? Was it for attention? No, she says. She wants people to know it’s about equality, about women not being viewed as sexual objects. “It was a big step in a small town…,” added Newnes. “There are a lot of closed-minded people in small towns.” Newnes noticed the inequality many years ago. “Girls at a very young age are not allowed to show nipples, even when there’s no breast development. That’s influenced my support for it. I remember fidgeting in kindergarten, fidgeting with my shirt… and the teacher saying no.”
Miege-Moffat and a male friend took a photo of their chests side by side after labelling their nipples, areola and breast tissue. “Men and women’s breasts are exactly the same,” she says, except for the amount of tissue. Adds Newnes: “The only difference is more fat tissue, so what’s the big deal?” Miege-Moffat received a fair amount of reaction from her tweet, which went up on the Free the Nipple site. She received about 70 retweets and 200 favourites. Comments varied, she says, from mostly supportive to weird to sexual. She points out that women in Europe go topless a lot. “It’s having to do with the whole equality aspect – there’s so much men can do that women can’t… If we can show our nipples, men won’t see us on the street as, ‘oh wow.’ A woman in a big firm being a CEO, men are surrounding her but they don’t see her as a person, they see her as a woman. Media have sexualized her so much – they see her as a sexual object.” The young women think their next steps will be to put up posters around town, trying to get more people in Salmon Arm on board, thinking about the movement. They’d like to see a kind of strike in Salmon Arm in spring or summer, where a large group of both men and women go around topless. “Free the Nipple is not too difficult,” Miege-Moffat says. “It’s not trying to solve world hunger. It’s something easily done, trying to change a few people’s perspectives.” The women would be happy to talk with anyone interested in the movement. They can be reached via Twitter @ gnarly_marlee1.

Fear not: Help for children with anxiety YOUth mental health
Dr. David Smith Everyone has times of feeling anxious, scared or fearful. In fact, without our body’s innate ability to sense and respond to pending danger, we would never have survived as humans. These days, however, anxiety disorders are like a car alarm repeatedly sounding when there is no real threat. Anxiety disorders are the most common mental health concern for children in B.C., affecting an estimated four per cent of all children, impacting their day-today life, their friendships, their school performance, their physical health and their sense of well-being. Anxious feelings include a rapid heartbeat, difficulty catching one’s breath, a sense of doom, sweaty palms, an upset stomach or stomach ache, even nausea and vomiting. Focusing on the feelings can cause them to intensify, a vicious cycle. Anxious symptoms become a true anxiety disorder when the anxiety leads to avoidance of the situation that is causing the anxiety and causes significant physical
distress and disruption of daily life and functioning. An unresolved anxiety disorder can often lead to depression or substance use problems in future years. Anxiety, however, exists on a spectrum. A certain amount of anxiety is normal and beneficial. It keeps our children safe and conscientious; it motivates them to perform well. Children who tend to be anxious are often model students: high achieving, diligent, analytical, sensitive, alert, creative and imaginative. Too little anxiety and a child or teenager may take foolish risks or lack motivation to succeed. But too much anxiety and children become so paralyzed by fear that they may be unable to leave their parent’s side, leave the house, go to school, make friends or participate in normal life. The good news is that anxiety can be very successfully managed or treated when required. Regular exercise and reliable routines in children are often all it takes to quell mild cases. Mild and moderate anxiety is very responsive to Cognitive Behav-
ioural Therapy (CBT), which is a process of addressing the unhelpful thoughts and actions that underlie anxiety. Thought stopping, talking back to negative thoughts, not believing everything you think, relaxation techniques like calming breathing, mindfulness meditation, and gradual safe exposure to the things you fear are all examples of types of CBT. All children — and adults, too — could benefit from learning simple CBT techniques
to turn off their body alarms that are sounding unnecessarily. If you are worried about your child or teenager’s anxiety, there are many places to get help. Many online resources as well as books, some written for specific age groups, are available to give in-depth information about anxiety and step-by-step instructions for specific CBT techniques. For parents of children and youth, the FORCE Society, in partnership with the
Ministry of Children and Family Development’s FRIENDS Program, offers an online program for parents of children ages four to 13. Anxiety BC (anxietybc.ca ) is another great site for adults and youth. Other sites include mindcheck.ca and keltymentalhealth.ca. If you think your child needs professional help, see your doctor or call Service BC at 1-800661-8773 and ask for your local MCFD Child and Youth Mental Health office.

Camping fees go up in B.C. parks The most pricey campground in the region will cost campers $32 a night in 2015. The B.C. Liberal government has increased the cost for camping at provincial parks by between $2 and $5. The Ministry of Environment announced the increase is the first since 2010. The most expensive campsites in the region, at $32 a night, are at Herald Park and Shuswap Lake provincial parks. The top rate in B.C. is $35 per night. The cost of camping at Adams Lake has increased from $11 to $13, while many of the smaller marine or walk-in camping sites are now $18. Rates for backcountry camping and use of sani-stations remain at $5, and fees for mooring buoys, picnic shelters and group camping are unchanged. Parking fees for day-use lots, a failed experiment from 10 years ago, are not being reintroduced. The ministry says the varied rate increases take into account local demand and economic conditions as well as private camping availability. Sought-after locations such as Cultus Lake charge $35 a night for a site with up to four adults, while nearby private campgrounds charge higher rates. The province collected about $17 million from its park and recreation fees last year, while spending $22 million on direct park operating costs. Campsite use is on the rise in B.C. since the introduction of an online reservation service called Discover Camping, which opens
Provincial sites:
for the season at 9 a.m. on March 15. The system handled 133,000 reservations last year, nearly a 10 per cent increase over 2013.

Determination fuels boxing excellence By Evan Buhler
OBSERVER STAFF
There was a hush around the arena as the boxers and spectators awaited the decision after three two-minute hard-fought rounds. “Those five seconds before – not knowing were agonizing,” said Noah Paterson. The official broke the tension and raised Paterson’s hand, crowning him Boxing Canada’s 2015 Canadian Junior and Youth National Champion in the 66-kilogram junior C open category. “It was one of the best feelings I’ve ever had, it was really overwhelming. I burst into tears,” recalls Paterson with a humble smile.” After winning the B.C. Golden Gloves last month in Cloverdale, Paterson was invited to compete with Team B.C. at the national championships, which ran from Jan. 19 to 24. The 14-year-old Paterson defeated 16-year-old Bryan Ouellet last Tuesday to book his spot in the championship match. In the final, Paterson went toe-to-toe against 15-year-old David Brzezinski, an orthodox fighter from Ontario, and came out victorious. “We had a little TV set up in the gym and after the fight there was not dry eye in the gym. Everyone is so proud of Noah,” said an emotional Peggy Maerz, Paterson’s coach and owner of Bulldog Boxing. After winning the title last Thursday in Quebec City and being named to Canada’s national junior boxing team, Paterson returned home on Sunday and was back in the gym training on Monday. “He is a remarkable kid, he thanked everyone in the gym for helping him train,” says Maerz with a broad smile. “Noah sets the tone for our whole club. We’ve had many successes at our club, but this… this was remarkable to perform so well on the national stage.

Boxing Canada’s 2015 Canadian Junior and Youth National Championship in the 66-kilogram junior C open category. his own determination and dedication and his passion for the sport. “Without Peggy I wouldn’t be where I am today; she is always there to support me,” said Paterson fondly. He explains how he will forfeit spending time with his friends to train, or back out of eating unhealthy foods so that he stays in shape. “I have had to sacrifice a lot to get to where I am now in boxing,” states Paterson modestly. With a wry smile, Maerz recalls how Paterson’s parents e-mailed her from Italy

when they were on a family trip saying Noah wouldn’t eat gelato. Maerz told Noah he would be suspended if he didn’t eat the treat. “That got him to eat the gelato, but I’m sure he did 25 push ups in the streets of Italy after that,” laughs Maerz. Paterson got into the sport four years ago after his dad started boxing with Maerz. At the time Paterson was too young to put the gloves on and box, because of Boxing Canada’s regulations, so he trained and learned the techniques without engaging in a fight. A couple weeks after his 11th birthday,

he entered the ring in his first match. He lost that fight, but has not lost a single bout since then. Paterson lights up when talking about his future in the ring. “I want to go to the Olympics, and hopefully turn pro after a successful amateur career,” he says confidently. Maerz sees no reason Paterson will not achieve his Olympic dream. When asked if he has the dedication to reach the elite level, Maerz quickly fired back asking, “Do you have all day to talk about his dedication?”

Black Skulls impress Calgary
OBSERVER STAFF
The Shuswap U10 Black Skulls ringette team had a great weekend of fun and development at the world’s largest ringette tournament last weekend at the Calgary Golden Ring. Highlights from the weekend include strong performances in goal for Georgia Davies and Jillian Koroluk. Double hat tricks go out to Shaylah Ferguson and Sequoia Robinson and a single hat trick for Emily French. Playing strong defensive games over the weekend were Ava Koskimaki contributing six assists and Mackenzie Packer and Brianna Congdon with two assists each.
Mixed martial arts is a violent sport, which pits two opponents against each other in a ring with almost no rules. It combines grappling and striking techniques, both on the ground and standing, from a variety of combat sports and martial arts including kickboxing, jujitsu, wrestling, judo and karate. Fourteen months ago Shaun Steiner walked into Intrepid Mixed Martial Arts not knowing entirely what to expect. “It’s a violent battle between two people and it’s up to you to win and no one else –that’s what I like about it,” says 20-year-old Steiner. He has taken to MMA like a duck to water. In only 14 months he has already competed and won numerous jujitsu events, and last November he even battled in his first amateur MMA fight, which he also won. “I Googled ‘MMA in Salmon Arm,’ and Intrepid was the first result, so I went down

Winter team tennis The newly formed men’s winter tennis team consisting of Randy Arsenault, David Askew, Carl Bannister, Detlef Doose, George Elamatha, Dan Wark represented Salmon Arm on Jan. 17 in Kamloops placing second. Last weekend the women’s team, Cathy Bartsch, Marietjie du Plessis, Sue Ford, Cynthia Langford and Chris Melin, scored 10 out of 30 possible points playing an exhausting nine matches on Saturday, and six matches on Sunday against five other teams. In the singles department, the ladies did very well with du Plessis winning both of her matches with the final match going 7-5, 7-5.
Bridge winners Sunday Duplicate Club’s results for Jan. 25 are as follows: North/South: in first place, Carol McGregor and Peter Budda; in second place, Shirley and Chuck Buckler; in third place, Liz Demens and Barbara Grier. East/West: in first place, Ona Bouchard and Carol Jeffery; in second place, Doreen and Dennis Roberts; in third place, Lynn Storey and John Parton.

the next day and I have been going ever since,” recalls Steiner “My first day I was beat by a small kid who weighed only 150 pounds. That gave me a wake-up call to what I was getting into.” The last jujitsu tournament Steiner competed in was the West Coast Combat Tournament in November. Steiner recalls winning each of his five bouts in 10 to 30 seconds each by submission using the guillotine hold, his favourite submission technique. “I am not the only one at the club who wins, every one wins and that is all thanks to Rick.” Rick Dubois is the coach and owner of Intrepid MMA and has seen a positive change in Steiner over the last year. “MMA has really changed his life. I think he has found his passion and he really works hard for all of his success,” says Dubois. Dubois says before MMA, Shaun was like many teenagers who played video games and weren’t physically active on a daily basis. That has all changed.

Proud moment: Shaun Steiner, left, receives a congratulatory
handshake from his dad, Ken after winning his first MMA match in Vancouver in November. Steiner now trains six days a week in the gym. “He really pushes himself to the brink, and I think the physical pain he endures in a match or training has taught him that life is not so bad.” More important than the medals and success is what MMA has done to help boost Steiner’s self-confidence. Steiner’s dad, Ken has had a front row seat to his sons positive change. “All young kids are looking for direction in life - a way to fit in, and MMA has given him
that direction and a true passion,” said Ken. “I don’t think you can go wrong following your passion.” Ken describes Shaun’s school years as being difficult after moving from Smithers when Shaun was 10 and not fitting in. He had an introverted personality and he was bullied throughout his school years, and he lost his self-esteem and confidence. “Before I started MMA I didn’t really fit in anywhere, and I knew I was different – I didn’t have many friends,” re-
counts Shaun. Since joining MMA Shaun has made friends both through the sport and outside as well. “I can’t thank Rick enough for what he’s done for me,” he said. Shaun has dreams of pursuing his budding career to the highest level, which could be competing on the world stage in jujitsu or even fighting in UFC’s octagon. He admits the more challenging something is, the harder he will work at it. It’s what drives him and feeds his growing confidence.
SMS boys basketball victorious in Vernon The Shuswap Middle School Grade 8 boys basketball team went undefeated this past weekend on their way to hoisting the championship at the Vernon Secondary School tournament. SMS played solid team basketball to make it to the final by defeating Fulton Secondary 53 to 23 in their first game on Friday night. Evan Smith led the team with 14 points,
Silas Hecker added nine, Carson de Vries chipped in eight and Gavin Limber received player-of-the-game honours for his tough play inside the paint. In their second game, Shuswap defeated Seaton Secondary 49 to 42. Smith led all scorers with 22 points, while Alton Neid hauled in eight rebounds and Ben Ollinger received player-of-the-game honours for his aggressive play
on defence. In the final on Saturday, SMS faced off against Kettle Valley Railway Middle School from Penticton. This was the third meeting between the two teams this year in tournament play; the previous two meetings saw KVR come out on top – with both tournaments taking place before the Christmas break. Shuswap led most of the game thanks to
tenacious team defence and strong interior play provided by Limber, Neid, Hecker, Ollinger and Daniel Wyss. All five SMS “bigs” did a great job to contain the four extremely athletic bigs from KVR. Smith provided Shuswap’s scoring punch from outside, hitting six triples from behind the arch and ending the game with 24 points. Jackson Mayes received player-of-the-
game honours for his consistent play at both ends of the court. SMS won the game 47 to 43. On Feb. 14 and 15, SMS will host the second annual Barry Dearing Invitational Tournament, with teams from Vernon and Kelowna. SMS is undefeated in league play this year, and will play VSS at home tomorrow at 5 p.m., as they look to secure home-court advantage for the playoffs.

’Backs eager for wins after Island trip By Evan Buhler OBSERVER STAFF
The Silverbacks kicked off a five-game road trip, their longest of the season, with a three-game swing on the Island starting in the provincial capital last Friday against the Grizzlies. Salmon Arm speedster Ross Heidt opened the scoring late in the first period when he jumped on a loose puck off a scramble faceoff, and beat the Grizzlies defence before scoring on his backhand past Michael Stiliadis. The gloves came off and fists flew shortly after Heidt’s opening tally. The Grizzlies’ Thomas Gobeil and the ’Backs Shane Danyluk were both assessed fiveminute majors for fighting, game misconducts and Gobeil was also given two minutes for roughing. Nick Hutchinson doubled Salmon Arm’s lead in the second period, scoring his first goal since Oct. 3. In the third period Josh Laframboise and Branden Wagner added to the Silverbacks’ lead on their way to the 4-0 win. “Our guys did an outstanding job,” said Silverbacks head coach Brandon West. “We played very well
in our own zone, and that gave us lots of time to produce offensively in Victoria’s end.” Angus Redmond was the game’s first star, making 31 saves to earn his third shutout of the season and second of the month. Redmond is now tied for second in the league with three shutouts, behind Penticton’s Hunter Miska. “Angus Redmond played one of his best games of the season on Friday and I think that can be said for the rest of the team as well.” Looking to keep the momentum rolling, the Silverbacks headed to Alberni Valley last Saturday. The Bulldogs’ leading scorer, Mitch Makin scored the first goal of the game just over a minute into the second, after a sleepy first period. Hutchinson and the ’Backs quickly responded, equalizing the game four minutes after falling behind. The goal was Hutchinson’s second in as many games and fifth of the season. The Bulldogs nipped back, re-taking the lead three minutes into the third period, as Scott Clark scored shorthanded. Salmon Arm answered back again.
Heidt fired a shot from the right wing that beat Billy Christopoulos on the short side. Makin scored his second of the game only 30 seconds after the ’Backs had equalized. With less than a minute on the clock and with Carson Bolduc in the penalty box for roughing, and Redmond pulled, Tyler Provelofskie iced the game at 4-2. “We didn’t get the points we needed Saturday, which was disappointing, but we knew Sunday provided another chance at two points,” West said. A week ago, Salmon Arm faced the Island Division’s best, the Nanaimo Clippers, for the first time this season. Both teams picked up where they left off, playing with aggressive intensity. The first period was penalty laden, each side taking five. Danyluk spent 11 minutes in the sin bin for cross-checking, kneeing, roughing and for a game misconduct. “For the first 10 minutes or so I thought we played really hard, and I don’t think our discipline was an issue. “We didn’t agree with the calls that went against us, but we can’t give them (referees) reason to call penalties
against us, we need to stay out of the box to win games,” said West. Nanaimo opened the scoring two minutes into the game as Nicolas Carrier scored, even strength, his 13th of the season. Each team conceded four more penalties in the second, and Nanaimo’s Cole Maier increased the Clippers’ lead on the man advantage. The league’s second most lethal power play went to work again in the third period, as Anthony Rinaldi gave the Clippers the 3-0 lead. Taro Hirose scored with six minutes remaining, the assists coming from Josh Blanchard and Heidt, giving Heidt three points from three games on the road trip. Rinaldi scored his second of the game with Redmond pulled, giving Nanaimo the 4-1 win. “I thought our penalty kill was great, but we can only kill so many penalties and expect to win,” said West. The Silverbacks return to the Interior today, to face the league’s best – Penticton, before heading north to battle Vernon in a home-and -home, returning to the Shaw Centre on Jan. 31. “We can’t focus on the last game we
played against them (Penticton), we need to push reset and focus on Wednesday’s game.” “Our group should be eager and excited to play a very good team.”

Girls hockey adds Atoms Tournament success: Peewee and midget teams share recent triumphs. Atom hockey got a boost in Salmon Arm as an all-female team hit the ice last Sunday at the Shaw Centre. The newly formed team, which consists of girls age seven to 12 is made up of players from novice, atom and peewee age groups. They will play a series of exhibition games to finish out the hockey season against similar teams from other regions. Salmon Arm welcomed Kamloops to the pond on the weekend. After Kamloops took a one-goal lead early in the second period, Taylor Sanford opened the scoring for Salmon Arm, snapping a wrist shot past the netminder. Defender Natasha Kociuba handed Salmon Arm the lead when she carried the puck coast-to-coast, shooting a rocket low stick side, beating the Kamloops goalie. Sanford would get her second of the afternoon later in the frame on a breakaway, slipping the puck through the five-hole, assisted by Brooklyn Rasmussen. Salmon Arm took the game by a 3-2 final.
An early Saturday morning battle against Summerland had the Eagles locked up in a 6-6 tie after 60 minutes. North Okanagan fought hard on Saturday afternoon, however the Eagles had their number in a 4-2 final. This gave the Eagles 12 points, which was good enough for third place and a semifinal game against undefeated Chilliwack on Sunday morning. The Eagles forecheck was unstoppable and led them to a 4-2 win. This gave the Eagles a chance to take the tournament with a win against the high-scoring Kelowna squad on Sunday afternoon. Salmon Arm fought hard to take the early lead against Kelowna, and Eagles goalie Ben Bannister made outstanding saves to keep the Eagles in the game. Kelowna went ahead 4-3 with a quick wrist shot. With the Eagles goalie pulled in the last minute the Eagles pounded the Kelowna goalie with shot after shot but just couldn’t get one through, settling for the silver medal.

The Thompson Rivers University WolfPack has solidified its hold on first place in the Canada West Women’s Basketball League Explorer Division. For the second night in a row, the WolfPack downed the second place MacEwan University Griffins of Edmonton, Alta. by 10 points. On Saturday night on the Warner Rentals Court at the Tournament Capital Centre, the score was 7161. The ’Pack was up by one, 35-34, at the half. In the second half, Thompson Rivers outscored the Griffins 36-32. “I am very proud of the girls,” said Thompson Rivers head coach Scott Reeves. “We didn’t shoot the ball as well tonight but neither did they. I think it was a grind-it-out affair. Both teams expended a lot of energy last night. “ Reeves says he had to make adjustments because he knew MacEwen Coach Rob Poole would. “He is a coach who makes adjustments that. I knew that he was going to change up how he guarded us last night. He did. It was just recognizing that and making changes ourselves.” “We didn’t shoot the ball as well tonight but neither did they. I think it was a grind it out affair. Both teams expended a lot of energy last night. Leading the way for the now 13-1 WolfPack was Jorri Duxbury. Duxbury was named the TRU Bookstore/McDonalds “Leader of the Pack” player of the game with 21 points, five rebounds, three assists, four steals and two blocks. Thompson Rivers head coach Scott Reeves says the success of the squad thus far has been a team effort and he gives credit to what he calls the best ‘bench’ he has had since he took over the WolfPack program nearly a decade ago. “They put out a great effort in practice. They are always challenging each other. “They are a part of something real special here.” With the weekend sweep of MacEwan, the ’Pack seem to have themselves in a good position to wind up in top spot with two weeks to go. “Right now the only team who realistically could catch us is MacEwan, if we lose the next six games,” said Reeves. The WolfPack is on the road next weekend in Kelowna against the University of British Columbia Okanagan Heat. The team returns for their final home games at the TCC on Feb. 6-7 against the Mount Royal Cougars.

Planning for the future of the planet World view: Salmon Arm Secondary instructor Dave Ramsay and systems ecologist Barry Wilson present a holistic approach to planning Feb. 3. By Barb Brouwer OBSERVER STAFF
A
n exciting movement is afoot in land-use 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 and her inhabitants are in the hands of the people. BC Tomorrow is developing an
online simulator that uses cuttingedge 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. In what he refers to as the new old way, Wilson says holistic planning hearkens back to the First Nations’ way of looking at the planet. “Their view is that the world is one system and all things are connected, whereas Western science is in the habit of looking at
different land uses in isolation,” he says. Using a short video and a PowerPoint presentation, Ramsay will explain how the concept is one that merges well with changes in curriculum. “The provincial education system is being further enhanced by moving from a compartmentalized system to a more holistic one that gives students a chance to explore the subject matter within the context of big ideas,” says Ramsay, pointing out that rather than learning one subject in a biology class, followed by another subject in an economics class, followed by a socials class, etc., students are being exposed to a combined perspective. “In a watershed, it’s even more important because that’s how watersheds function; they’re linked, they’re complex, they’re messy, multidisciplinary… like the real world,” he says. “Education is going this way, the watershed functions this way and BC Tomorrow is the tool that can meet the needs of both.” 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. While he has been working with the concept, Ramsay had not yet met the Alberta Tomorrow creators. He was scheduled to leave for Calgary yesterday to do just that. “I am now at the point when I need to go and immerse myself in what they are doing and absorb their knowledge to apply to our classroom application,” he said Friday, noting Alberta Tomorrow supports teachers in classrooms from Grade 4 to 12. “It provides a tremendous advantage; they’ve done a lot of work getting to this point and they have a lot of experience for us to build on.” 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 gam-
ing 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 net 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.

Shakespeare Live from the Globe
TWELFTH KNIGHT Sun., Feb. 1st 6:30PM
Salmon Arm Observer Wednesday, January 28, 2015
Bard’s work on Salmar screen 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 Knight 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 sell-out performances led to a hit run in

Britain’s best: Stephen Fry and Mark Rylance perform in the Royal Opera House production of Shakespeare’s comedy Twelfth Night. London’s West End. Now in more than 1,000 theatres across 40 countries, the Royal Opera House Cinema Season continues to expand each year and Canada is playing an integral part in that growth since the ballet series’
launch three years ago. Moviegoers will enjoy the up-close and raw emotion of opera and ballet on the big screen in the highest visual and sound quality. The Royal Opera House has perfected a filming style
that offers “the best seat in the house” at world-class opera and ballet performances with all of the tension and anticipation of a live performance preserved. Salmon Arm audiences will even be treated to behind-thescenes 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.
Competition challenges older writers A brand-new writing competition has been launched to recognize and encourage the creative talents of British Columbia authors age 50 or better. The Cedric Literary Awards have been created specifically to attract unpublished B.C. writers of fiction, nonfiction and poetry. This is a first-of-itskind literary awards program in Canada and it is already gathering
interest on the part of writers, as well as organizations that support and promote Canadian authors. The Cedric Literary Awards is the brainchild of Dr. Peter Dale, chairman of Better Than 50, a web-based initiative created to achieve a more connected world for the 50-plus demographic by building portals to relevant and local information. The Cedric Liter-
ary Awards will be a juried writing competition with selection panel members drawn from BC’s rich, diverse and established writing community. Each of the category winners will receive a monetary prize along with a special memento of their participation in the competition. A special prize for First Nations storytelling will also be awarded.

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.

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

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.

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.

Ilse-Waltraud Riemann (nee Schneider) March, 10-1927-January 6, 2015
Ilse was born in Arnsberg, Germany, died in Victoria at Mt Tolmie Hospital, suddenly after a long struggle with dementia and heart disease. She was predeceased by husband Helmut in 1992 and is survived by daughter Sabine Rothe (Fritz), with grandchildren Michael, Carolin (Christian) great granddaughter Mia Maria, and sister-in-law Hildegard Riemann, of Germany; son Walter Riemann (Danica) with grandchildren Charlotte, Samuel, Jesse and William, of Victoria. Surviving the hardships of World War II as a teenager through resourcefulness, two goats and a huge garden, Ilse went on to become an accomplished bookkeeper, homemaker, mother, hostess, gardener, and friend who used intelligence, hard work and courage to build a successful life for her family. Marrying the love of her life Helmut in 1953, she loved to bake for others, shop for grandchildren, and learn about new places. Ilse’s homecooked dinner parties at Ruschufer No 6 were legendary. The family travelled widely in Europe in the 60s and 70s. They Immigrated to Canada when Helmut retired in 1982 which was a wonderful adventure, setting up house overlooking the beautiful Shuswap Lake. Widowhood was tough, but she found pleasure in travel with friends, including riding a camel in Tunisia on her 70th birthday. A celebration of her memory, with coffee and cake as she would have done it, was held on Saturday January 17th, 2015 from 2:00 to 4:00 pm at 1521 Church Avenue, Saanich, BC.

OH loving Jesus, meek Lamb of God, I, a miserable sinner, salute and worship the most sacred wound of Thy shoulder, on which Thou did bear Thy heavy cross, which tore Thy flesh and lay Thy bones as to inflict an anguish greater than any other wound of Thy most blessed body.
