Four-day campout for immersion

It may have been April Fools’ Day, but there was no way some people were going to feel foolish for missing their chance at getting their child a spot in the School District’s French immersion pro-gram.

Beginning Sunday morning, ap-

proximately 10 people were lined up in the fi rst-come, fi rst-served line for the remaining spaces in the kindergarten and late (Grade 6) immersion programs. It began at 6 a.m. and more people contin-ued to join the line throughout the day. This year’s wait was exten-sive, nearly four days in duration, as the registration time is not until this morning.

A quick review of Observer fi les over the last 10 years indicat-ed this is the earliest the waiting game has started. Parents bring lawn chairs, sleeping bags and thermoses of warm drinks to man-age the chilly climate, as they sit outside the School District #83’s District Education Centre, just off Okanagan Avenue.

Enderby resident Chantelle

Prentice is number seven in line for one of the 17 coveted kinder-garten spots, having started her wait at 8:30 a.m. Sunday. By 5:50 a.m. Monday all 17 spaces were fi lled.

of people for my kids to go to school with. I’m here because I want to invest in what’s best for my kids.”

cause it all would have been out of my control. I know it is not easy for everyone to do this. The way I look at it is that I had four years to plan for this, because I knew I wanted French immersion right from when my child was a baby.”

Another parent, Terri Ross, was waiting for the late immersion class, which starts in Grade 6. While she was willing to do this to give her son a great-er challenge and learn-ing opportunity, she says the system does discriminate.

“I’m fortunate I can take this time, but not everyone can... In that sense I think a lottery would be more fair, but there’s problems with that too. The only real fair thing would be to

open it up to everyone who wanted it, but I realize that is not real-istic given funding and teachers and the class-rooms.”

As per the rules, parents are also not al-lowed to take numbers and leave — they must remain in place in the line or fear losing their coveted spot. They also must have members of their direct family wait in line. There’s no rely-ing on friends or even, as one person jokingly suggested, paying an unemployed person to do the waiting for them.

Only 44 children are admitted to the kinder-garten program each year, but the number of new registrations drops below this because parents with children already in the French program get prior-ity registration. School District #83 confi rmed

that for the Sept. 2012 school year, only 17 new spaces would be open in the kindergar-ten program.

Wendy Woodhurst, director of instruction, says in the past there’s never been enough students registering to even look at adding a third French immer-

sion kindergarten class. She adds if the wait list was long enough to al-low for a second class, it would likely be given consideration by the

board. The availability of resources and issues of classroom space would also have to be a part of the discussion.

Wait gets longer every year

Lock your vehicles. Salmon Arm RCMP

are reminding residents that thieves are taking advantage of unlocked vehicles.

Friday morning, po-lice fi elded a number of calls regarding thefts that had occurred over-night, many of them in the downtown area around 11th Street SE. Various items were taken, police report.

One of the vehicles en-tered still had the keys in the ignition.

Police note this is a preventable crime which simply requires that a person lock their vehicle at night.

“The suspect(s) which is responsible is likely not a hardened criminal but a youth(s) looking for easily at-tainable items,” states a police news release is-sued Friday afternoon. “It is important to point out that no vehicles

were entered by force and that every vehicle which was entered was unlocked and the items inside were free for the taking.

RCMP say leaving a vehicle unlocked, with the keys in the ignition or expensive electronic devices such as cell-phones or MP3 players sitting on the dash, in plain site, is an invita-tion to criminals, and “you are simply asking for these items to be taken.”

Worth the wait: Michela Richot, Sandra Frommen, Cheryl Peterson, Cody Spencer, Kim Fulton, Teena Billey, Teri Ross and Chantelle Prentice are among the parents waiting to register their children in the French immersion program.

TV promotion under considerationToday in America: Proposal to spend $25,000 scrutinized, questions raised about strategic plan.

Is it money well-spent? A decision will be made Thursday on whether the commu-nity will be spending $25,000 on a promo-tional segment with a U.S. television com-pany, a plan which has sparked some criticism.

Salmon Arm’s Eco-nomic Development Society was approached by the Today in Ameri-ca show, hosted by Pro Football Hall of Famer Terry Bradshaw, to par-ticipate in a program called Canada’s Hidden Gems, The Best Places to Live, Work and Play.

What’s called ‘a scheduling fee’ for the fi ve-minute Salmon Arm segment would be $24,800 US, and local organizations participat-ing would have control over content.

The segment would air 35 times over a 90-day period – once on the Discovery Chan-nel in the U.S., once on Canada’s Business News Network, and in 33 regional slots that Salmon Arm would se-lect. The City of Salmon Arm would provide up to $10,800, while sev-en local organizations would each provide $2,000: the economic

development society, the chamber of com-merce, Shuswap Hospi-tal Foundation, Shuswap Tourism, Downtown Salmon Arm, Commu-nity Futures Shuswap and SCIP (Shuswap Construction Industry Professionals). Once the fi ve-minute segment is complete, the local partners would be able to use it as they wish.

Lana Fitt, manager of Salmon Arm Economic Development, said the organizations had their fi rst meeting Friday and are expected to make a decision Thursday whether to proceed.

“We haven’t signed a contract... We want to do as much due dili-gence in this process as we can. We want to en-sure a really good fi t for our community before making a decision that it’s a no-go or a go,” she told the Observer Mon-day.

A number of com-plaints about the show’s promotional segments are made on various websites, including ac-cusations that the pro-motion is a scam, the time slots when the programs air have few viewers and the videos are of poor quality.

One web commenter notes that Bradshaw also hosts similar info-

mercial-type programs called Net Worth Tele-vision, The EnviroRe-port, Business Day TV, Profi les with Terry, and The Edge with Terry.

Fitt says the society has already done a sig-nifi cant amount of due diligence, including speaking with com-munities which have participated in the show and contacting the Bet-

ter Business Bureau. The communities she has spoken to – Fay-etteville, Arkansas, the City of Langley and Whiting, Indiana – are satisfi ed, she said, and the company has a good rating with the bureau.

Kimberley Wor-thington of Economic Development spoke to Parsippany, New Jer-sey, a township that de-clined the show’s offer. Fitt says Worthington was told a video, not the television exposure, was a priority for the town,

so the town declined. Fitt said candid con-

versations with the show have pointed to previous problems be-ing associated with a former owner or dis-gruntled employee.

In any case, Warren Welter of Salmon Arm, who has been active in the Shop Local initia-tive, says the city should have a defi ned target

market from a strategic marketing plan before responding to an unso-licited request to buy an infomercial.

While he said he re-spects the group effort

to move ahead, he also wonders why local ex-pertise in video produc-tion or marketing/adver-tising isn’t involved.

“This is arguably the most we’ve spent in a single ad buy. If we are being asked to embrace this as a community, can we know what part of the plan it fi ts in, and is there a tangible out-come?”

Meanwhile, Carl Bannister, the city’s chief administrative of-fi cer, said the initiative is the economic devel-opment society’s and he believes the society has already done a fair amount of due diligence. As far as the city’s par-ticipation goes, he said, “we are asking Lana at economic development to complete her due diligence on this before any city funds are put towards it.”

In an email response to the Observer, Mayor Nancy Cooper stated: “Carl Bannister and I

sat in on two of several phone calls with the Today in America pro-ducers. The city values

partnerships with com-munity groups and will support their decision on this matter.”

Grief compounded by robbery

Posting news of fu-nerals or weddings can open the door to trou-ble.

Notch Hill resident Patty Fleming and her family attended her mother-in-law’s funeral March 31.

Details of the event had been included in Lois Fleming’s obitu-ary, which was pub-lished that morning,

The mourners left their residence at about 9:30 a.m., returning in the afternoon with fami-ly and friends to discov-er much of their home had been ransacked.

Stolen were a big-screen TV, laptop com-

puter, iPhone, camera and food from the freezer.

Other items were out on counters as if the thief or thieves had not fi nished.

While some of the material goods can be replaced, more than 1,000 cherished photos cannot.

“I am hoping some-one has a conscience and can hand back the card from my camera,” says Fleming, point-ing out she also has close to 700 pictures on her iPhone 3G. “They didn’t make it into our bedroom, it could have been worse.”

But Fleming’s 88-year-old mother is not so sure.

“That’s the really sad, sad thing, they got my mother’s jewelry and her mother’s too,” says Fleming. She says that while the jewelry may not all be expensive, the hurt to her mother’s heart is extreme.

Fleming says police told her they believe the thief or thieves prob-ably read the obituary and took advantage of the fact the home would likely be vacant during the ceremony.

“It doesn’t take much; they look in the paper, then get the address,” she said. “I guess it’s easier for them than I thought. And they knew they’d have a long enough time to do what they wanted.”

Fleming, who says she has always felt safe, despite the remote lo-cation of her home, is rethinking her belief somewhat. But she’s looking for some good to come out of this. She recalls losing her wallet and spread the word that she didn’t care about the cash but wanted her ID. Some days later, the wallet and her ID showed up at the post offi ce.

And Fleming is hope-ful she will get back her iPhone – or an email containing the photos and the card from her camera.

In the meantime, the Flemings will keep an eye on area pawnshops.

And she adds a cau-

tion to others who are celebrating a family wedding or loss, point-ing to Seattle where six such robberies recently took place and have been dubbed “obit rob-beries.”

Teachers in School District #83 have voted to recommend the removal of all voluntary ser-vices including coaching sports teams, assisting with music or drama productions and organiz-ing graduation exercises.

The withdrawal of extra-curricular activities is effec-tive immediately through the North Okanagan-Shus-wap Teachers’ Association (NOSTA) boundaries, which includes Salmon Arm, Sor-rento, Sicamous, Enderby and Armstrong.

“As a group, we have had our constitutional rights re-moved by Bill 22 and there are very few ways for teach-ers to get their message out,” says Lynda Bennett, president of NOSTA. “Teachers should not be expected to continue to subsidize an underfunded system with our unpaid time and our own mon-ey.”

Secondary school sports that will be impacted by the teacher’s recommendation include: girls soccer, rugby, track and fi eld, tennis, golf, and mountain bik-ing. At the elementary level,

cross-country running and track and fi eld will be curtailed.

In some cases, efforts are being made for parents to coach teams or for community leagues to re-place school-based activities.

School District #83 superinten-dent Dave Witt is attending meet-ing in Vancouver dealing with the

implications of Bill 22 and could not be reached for comment by press time.

Teachers in some other school districts, including Vernon, have already opted to withdraw par-ticipation in voluntary extracur-ricular activities to protest the province’s legislation, which im-poses a net-zero wage mandate and restricts job action.

Education Minister George Abbott has assigned a mediator

to intervene in the dispute, how-ever, the mediator’s mandate still requires the implementation of a net-zero contract, which is hotly disputed by the BC Teachers’ Federation.

Bennett says the education sys-tem needs better funding.

“Here we have politicians proudly saying that we have the lowest personal income tax rate in the country, but what they are not saying is that B.C. has the highest rate of child poverty. This government is not funding education as it needs to be funded. They are not funding social programs that need to be funded and they are not looking after kids and families that need help.”

While some teachers have sent out individual letters to stu-dents about the withdrawal of volunteer work, others have alert-ed students by word of mouth.

Bennett says if parents or stu-dents have questions about the status of particular activities they should contact teachers directly.

This recommendation would be in effect until the province-wide vote by teachers on an BCTF action platform which is taking place April 17-19.

Teachers stop participation in extracurricular activities

Teachers should not be expected to continue to subsidize an underfunded system with our unpaid time and our own money.

OPINION

SALMON ARM OBSERVER

Editorial

It doesn’t take a stretch of the imagination to surmise BC Hydro is being set up to take a fall.

The BC Liberal government drove British Columbians into a tizzy when they outsourced some of the Crown corporation’s operations to a U.S. company. The move was viewed as the ini-tial push to deregulate and privatize the utility, and that didn’t sit well with voters. A province-wide survey showed more than 62 per cent of the public wanted to keep the utility as their own.

Regardless, the BC government proceeded to put the utility at a disadvantage. They made it so BC Hydro must buy power from independent power producers, beyond what is needed and at a cost higher than market rates, and then sell sur-plus power to California at rates less than what British Columbians are paying.

Meanwhile, BC Hydro was allowed to defer paying more than $2 billion in operating costs, resulting in artificially low energy prices that are bound to catch up with users sooner or later.

Then there’s the smart meter. The politics sur-rounding the introduction and implementation of these devices mirrors the BC Liberal’s handling of the HST. The public’s disdain for the mandated meter wasn’t helped any when municipal leaders voted in favour of a moratorium on their installa-tion, only to be told tough luck by hydro and Energy Minister Rich Coleman. Perhaps the cur-rent grassroots push for a moratorium will be more successful. Though it may be more benefi-cial if energies were expended on letting the pub-lic utility operate more freely from political inter-ference.

Politics threatening BC Hydro

Playing the waiting gameWhen I drove by the District Education Centre and saw the

people huddled in their lawn chairs as the misty drizzle coated their toques and sleeping bags, I could feel their pain.

I remember our family’s experience a couple of years ago camping out for 33 long hours to get a space for our daughter in the French immersion program.

(My husband pulled the lion’s share of the overnight waiting, including one entire night outdoors, and he is still able to play that card when there is a disagreeable household chore.)

At that time, I thought 33 hours was a long wait. But that was trumped by this year’s group. With only 17 new spaces due to sibling priority registrations, waiting in the fi rst-come, fi rst-served line started Sunday morning — four days before today’s registration time.

It seemed like a cruel April Fools’ trick, but the reality is that when it comes to something parents believe is best for their kids, they are willing to go the extra mile or, in this case, stay put how-ever long it takes.

Of course, this longest wait in the history of the program re-newed the debate about fairness and whether there’s a better ap-proach. Elitism is cited by many, noting that for some parents taking four days out of their life to wait in line for a space in the program is impossible for fi nancial or logistical reasons. There is merit in the argument. A single parent would have a much more diffi cult time with the lineup than a couple with a fl exible work schedule. In past years, some single parents had to bed down their children beside the centre’s photocopy machine in order to continue waiting.

A lottery is continually suggested as an alternative. But it is one I personally disagree with. Having lost out on a number of coveted jobs when I lived in Ottawa because I was not bilingual, I had vowed, even before having children, that my kids would not miss out on similar opportunities. Losing in the bilingualism lottery would have made me irate.

Interviewing students to determine and only admitting those who might have the best chance of success is even more elitist — and has no place in public schools.

The only really fair system would be to open the program up to all who wanted it. There are pitfalls with this as well. A lot of planning has to go into how many classes, teachers and physical space would be available. And, I’m sure we’re all aware there are funding issues with the education system.

While it does seem ridiculous to have to sit for four days, there really doesn’t seem to be a more palatable alternative. (And the logical question is that if wait times are increasing every year, how long will the wait be next year?) If there was a better system, it likely would have already been implemented in school districts around the province, where the fi rst-come, fi rst-served policy causes waits in many other school districts.

So here’s a warning to parents with kids entering kindergarten in Sept. 2013. Get your camping gear ready — soon.

VIEW POINTThe Observer asked:

Isabelle Kyles“Yes. He’s had two of the worst portfolios there are and he has done a wonderful job.”

Jim Goodwin“Yes. He’s has had two of the most thankless portfolios and handled them both well.”

Nathan Meakes“No. If he’s questioning things, his heart’s not into it anymore.”

Phyllis Mack“Yes, I’d like to see him run again, but in the end it’s still entirely up to him.”

Ted Goodwin“Yes. He’s been able to hold tough against multiple odds.”

Should George Abbott run again in the next provincial election?

Driving record should be consideredThanks for the article on driving tests

etc. for seniors. As I get older, I wonder whether it would not be fairer to assess the person’s recent driving record.

We all age at different rates. I know of a gentleman who drove safely till his mid nineties. It allowed him to stay in his Vernon home, where he lived alone.

Here in the North Shuswap where we have no public transit, and the nearest stores are in Scotch Creek, those of us living elsewhere would not be able to survive without ours cars. It means we’d have to move, but that means losing one’s friends, and the home we love.

The individual’s driving record is a

composite of lifelong driving experi-ence, as well as cognitive faculties. I think it says more about the person’s abilities to drive safely than some offi ce test under extreme stress due to fear of losing one’s lifestyle.

Eva LymanIt must be stressed that democratic rights are in

jeopardy in B.C.Canada and its provinces, by extension, are con-

stitutional democracies where parliamentary pow-ers are limited by the constitution and rule of law. When the courts rule that the actions of a govern-ment are in breach of those rights, the government must take corrective actions and the courts have the ability to impose remedies.

Justice Griffi n of the BC Supreme Court ruled that provisions decimating teachers’ bargaining rights around class size, class composition, and student support services enacted in 2002 by the BC Liberal government were unconstitutional and invalid. These actions were found to be a breach of the Constitution and specifi cally the freedom of association rights. The B.C. government was given one year to “address the repercussions of this deci-sion.”

However, instead of addressing the repercussions of the decision, the government enacted in Bill 22 the same offending provisions from 2002. They then add a section placing the legislation above the courts and Constitution: “ ...despite any decision of a court to the contrary made before or after the coming into force of this section, words, phrases, provisions and parts of provisions deleted... from a collective agreement... must not for any purpose, including any suit or arbitration commenced or continued before or after the coming into force of this section, be considered part of that collective agreement on or after July 1, 2002.”

The parliamentary structure that provincial gov-ernments exist under follow a practice of “govern-ment by consent of the governed” as established in the 1680s in Britain. As the British philosopher John Locke noted the legislature must rule “by de-clared and received laws...interpreted by known authorized judges.”

The B.C. government violates with Bill 22 this basic principle, calling into question our democra-cy and parliamentary legitimacy. When all the facts are measured up, I hope the public will see what is at stake and why this legislation offends far more than items on a bargaining table.

David Komljenovic

Wow, the number of grow ops in the area appears to be on the rise.

Perhaps it is time an award was intro-duced and presented for the “Best Ops in The Shuswap.” This award would be presented for being the most attractive and best-kept marijuana grow op in the Shuswap.

For a fi rst nominee (based on the pho-

to of course) I would like to nominate the grow op discovered near the Ski-mikin Road that appeared on page A3 of last week’s March 28 Salmon Arm Observer.

This one must surely be one of the neatest and healthiest looking agricul-tural enterprises around; it appears those doing the growing are very talented and

know what they are doing,We could even make it sort of a na-

tionally acclaimed event and the tourists would not only visit for the houseboats and motorcycles, we would become home of the best MJ grow ops... Imagine the fame we might achieve?

B. Campbell

The 2012 federal budget is a travesty, as it will boost the profi ts for the one per cent and the big resource industries, while it is a disaster for the rest of us.

It is an attack on the environment despite the fact that in the long term a healthy economy depends on a healthy environment.

It will make life more diffi cult for the poor and does little to create jobs.

It will streamline the Gateway pipeline review likely because the Harper gov-ernment wants it approved before what may soon-to-be a B.C. NDP government

rejects this ill-conceived scheme as the risks far outweigh any benefi ts.

The Harper government created the defi cit by cutting taxes so they can now cut those programs that protect the envi-ronment and matter most to Canadians – like the CBC and Katimavik.

Instead of making post-secondary education more affordable as is the case in many other countries, our tax dollars provide massive subsidies to the already wealthy oil industry.

There is no need to raise the retire-ment age, which will result in fewer jobs

available for the underemployed young-er generation, especially when money could be saved by simply cutting ben-efi ts for those seniors that do not need the money.

And what is most problematic is that the mainstream media is mostly giving the budget a glowing review without providing well-deserved criticism.

Unless the public is aware of these problems, political apathy will contin-ue.

I have found a lot of information which was compiled from an Internet search about “Today in America” infomercials.

Parsippany, New Jersey, USA (pop. 50,000) was recently approached, simi-

larly to Salmon Arm, by the same media company and their council fi rst agreed to proceed and then declined to go forward with the expenditure as they, the council, considered it most important to have a

previously adopted strategic plan to fol-low and not execute an action resulting from a convincing sales tactic.

VIEW POINT

Liberal defection a boon for Cummins

VICTORIA – In an interview with one of our Vancouver Island pa-pers before Christmas, B.C. Conservative leader John Cummins made a bold prediction that he would have party status before the general elec-tion in May 2013.

That’s four seats, and it wasn’t based on an unlikely sweep of the Chilliwack-Hope and Port Moody-Coquitlam by-elections, now set for April 19. He hinted he was getting calls from MLAs looking to join up, after a November Angus Reid poll showed a sudden surge to 18 per cent for his resurgent brand.

We now know that one of those callers was Abbotsford South MLA John van Dongen.

I asked Cummins on Friday if he is still confi dent about three more. “Hopeful, let’s put it that way,” he replied.

Van Dongen’s explosive departure was arranged, with Cummins’ help, for maximum damage to Premier Christy Clark. Van Dongen noti-fi ed the B.C. Liberal caucus that he was quitting. Then, in a question-able use of legislature privileges, he launched a broadside on Clark’s integrity.

He cited the $6-million legal payout in the B.C. Rail sale, a decision made before Clark’s time, and the recent collapse of a deal to sell naming rights to B.C. Place. He described the B.C. Liberals as “an organization headed for failure,” then announced he’s joined the B.C. Conservatives.

Cummins then joined van Dongen at a hotel news conference across the street, as the former Gordon Campbell cabinet minister disclosed he has hired his own lawyer to dig through the roomful of paper from the B.C. Rail case once again.

Auditor General John Doyle is already in court seeking access to details of the $6 million in lawyer bills, which the Attorney General’s ministry hasn’t provided because it doesn’t have them. These delicate matters were farmed out to yet more independent lawyers.

Independent special prosecutor Bill Berardino also spent seven years and many more millions on the B.C. Rail case, including the role of Clark’s lobbyist brother, Bruce. He didn’t fi nd the smoking gun now sought by van Dongen.

This effort seems designed more for political revenge in an election year than to clarify the sorry legacy of the B.C. Rail sale that has already been examined through two provincial elections.

Van Dongen was at the top of everyone’s list of disgruntled B.C. Lib-erals. During last year’s leadership contest, he muttered darkly about not only B.C. Rail, but also the integrity of fellow Abbotsford MLA Mike de Jong. Now Clark is van Dongen’s target, with Cummins standing beside him trying to look statesman-like.

Of course van Dongen drove himself out of cabinet long before Clark returned. Chronic speeding by a public safety minister is a tough sell.

I asked Cummins about the reluctance of key cabinet ministers Kevin Falcon and George Abbott to confi rm they are running again. His aw-shucks friendly-grandpa modesty precludes speculation, but he did allow it’s “maybe a comment on the state of affairs in the Liberal caucus.”

Reporters started surveying government MLAs after Falcon and Ab-bott kept their options open for 2013.

For the record, fellow ministers Terry Lake, Shirley Bond, Pat Bell, Mary Polak, Rich Coleman and Stephanie Cadieux all said they are fi rmly on Clark’s election team. Independent-minded backbenchers Bill Bennett and Kevin Krueger also saluted the B.C. Liberal banner. Randy Hawes allowed that he’s 65, so if he leaves it will be for the golf course.

As I was talking with Cummins, B.C. Conservative advisor Randy White was assuring the Abbotsford News that more defections are com-ing. Cummins has people for the dirty work.

BC VIEWS

Tom FletcherDag Sharman, the BC Hydro

Meter Man, who purportedly said at a recent Salmon Arm council meeting that smart meters are “safe” and that only one per cent of British Columbians are op-posed to them, is either an unedu-cated high school drop-out, a liar, an innocent propaganda pawn of the Liberal government and the BC Utilities Commission, or all of the above.

To date, 40 concerned com-munities have voted for a morato-rium on the installation of this in-vasive and dangerous technology. If Mr. Sharman’s math is correct, then each of those communities contains fewer than 1,000 resi-dents on average. Is it possible

that these jurisdictions might just represent slightly more than one per cent of the provincial popula-tion of 4.5 million?

Also missing from his/BC Hydro’s argument is the fact that no one, either by mistake or con-venience, has mentioned that the routers which search out, receive and send all this EMF (electro-magnetic fi eld) radiation add an-other 4,000 times to the effect.

Pile cell phone radiation, wire-less fi delity (wi-fi ), microwaves in every form, wireless phones, baby monitors, push-button car entry, etc., one atop the other and the public is being bombarded by an invisible health danger far beyond its ability to conceive. At

least 15 per cent of the population already is electro-hypersensitive and that number is increasing daily.

Then ask why whole countries such as the Netherlands and Italy have banned the use smart me-ters, and why some school boards are removing wi-fi from their li-braries and labs, and what is your conclusion?

We can’t afford them and they aren’t necessary. The only reason to shove smart meters down the public throat is to sell smart me-ters, and then, of course, smart appliances. The greed factor says it all faithful reader.

Ed Murdoch

If you are reading this, well good job. Anyway, I have been reading all about the “SmartCentre.”

Guess what?

The best shopping is right down-town in Salmon Arm. I spent the entire day walking around a six-block radius. Had the best day ever

and spent a whole load of money. And I had fun doing it.

Deanna Wertz

John van Dongen, the brand-new Conservative MLA from Abbotsford South, did not use political double-speak when giv-ing his reasons for leaving the B.C. Liberal party. He pointed his fi nger of recrimination directly at Christy Clark for her incompetent attempt to play the role of a pro-vincial premier.

Meanwhile, Kevin Falcon and

George Abbott are now musing aloud about not running in the next election. But both are being calculatingly careful not to offend any Clark supporters.

Their sudden disenchantment with politics seems opportunistic. Not long ago they were running for the leadership of the B.C. Liberal party. Unfortunately for them (and the party), they ended

up second and third, respectively, behind Clark.

Both Falcon and Abbott are us-ing political double-speak to send the same message to the Liberal backroom powerbrokers: Get rid of Clark and I’ll stay, because I want to be the next premier of British Columbia.

Lloyd Atkins

I would like to respond to a couple of letters published in last week’s Salmon Arm Observer.

First of all teachers do not have to belong to the BCTF – it is called working for a private school, where typically teachers have fewer ben-efi ts, less security and fewer hu-man resources.

Teachers usually don’t stay long in the private sector because they fi nd it hard to raise a family or plan for the future. The BCTF gives them those things, but you don’t have to belong to teach in B.C.

Teachers don’t get paid for sum-mer holidays. Some take salary cuts during the school year so they receive a cheque over the summer.

“Teachers earning far more than private-sector slaves,” (a quote from last week’s letter). Teachers get a middle-class salary that al-lows them to afford a house (car-penters, plumbers, developers, etc. be happy) and contribute in many ways to the community.

This, so-called “elite income group,” ($60,000 a year is elite?) went to university for six debt-fi lled years to become professional teachers.

They bring all that training and knowledge into the classroom for the benefi t of your children. May-be you would prefer a high school grad making minimum wage in charge of your, “children, the na-

tion’s most valuable natural re-source.”

I think most people would prefer it if they didn’t have to, “suck it up,” or “be treated badly by their em-ployer,” (paraphrase) and wouldn’t take it if they had the chance to do something about it. Well teachers do have that chance and should have the right to exercise it.

The BCTF does not, “contami-nate, the learning environment and opportunities for our children.” It is the BCTF that has kept class sizes down and got extra help for learn-ing-disabled kids. It is a constant struggle against mounting odds.

Notice of ExtraordinaryGeneral Meeting

Salmon Arm Partners in CommunityLeadership Association is calling for a meeting on April 18th at 7 p.m. at the SASCU Downtown Activity Centre.

The purpose of this meeting is to present a special resolution to the membership for a change of name for the organization. For

more information please [email protected]

Rick Hansen’s Man in Motion Tour touched millions of people around the world, but in Salmon Arm, as the 25th anniversary is commemorated, special connections are being remembered.

Two Salmon Arm women attended UBC with Hansen, one who knew him in his hometown of Williams Lake and ultimately became a member of his Man In Motion team. Another Salmon Arm resident was working at GF Strong Rehabilitation Centre when Hansen underwent rehab following the car crash that injured his spinal cord at age 15. All are medal bearers in Salmon Arm.

Today, following the medal bearers’ journey from Enderby to Salmon Arm, a celebration will take place at Spirit Square in front of city hall from 12:30 to 1:30 p.m. The event will include a speech from wheelchair athlete Marni Abbott, Just For Kicks dancers, music, refreshments and more. Community medal bearer Amy Witt will arrive at the square at 1 p.m. The relay convoy will remain in the area until Saturday, with no events planned on the Good Friday holiday. Some schools will be visited both today and Thursday. Hansen won’t be visiting Salmon Arm because of family commitments.

On Saturday, the relay takes off from Little Shuswap and Neskonlith land through Salmon Arm to Canoe and Sicamous.

Jeanetta Zorn worked as a physiotherapist at Vancouver’s GF Strong in 1974. She didn’t treat Hansen directly but remembers him well.

“The most remarkable things I remember about Rick were his pleasant demeanour, how friendly he was. I certainly wasn’t surprised to see him carry on with the life he did.”

Both Heather Stanton and Patti Brock were in the phys ed degree program at UBC along with Hansen. As well as class time, Stanton was involved with sports for people with disabilities, so their paths crossed. She remembers with a laugh the time Hansen cooked moose-meat steaks for her and her roommate on her 20th birthday. Mostly, she sees Hansen, like Terry Fox – his friend from those days, as “a really highly motivated individual who played sports and was trying to make a difference.”

Patti Brock has been friends with Hansen

for many years.“The fi rst time I remember Rick was

watching him on the basketball court at our high school in Williams Lake,” she recalls. “It was 1972 and Rick was an all-star athlete in numerous sports, including his particular passions, basketball and volleyball. Two years later, I met Rick again, now under very different circumstances. He had recently returned from a long recovery at G.F. Strong Rehabilitation Centre, following an accident in the summer of 1973 that left him paralyzed.”

Now back at high school, and facing a new future and diffi cult challenges, he began assistant coaching Brock’s volleyball team.

“This began a life-long friendship for which I remain ever grateful.”

At UBC, Hansen became the fi rst disabled student to complete a degree in PE. Throughout this time of promoting and developing sports adapted for people with disabilities, Hansen was planning his long-held dream – to wheel around the world to promote awareness and raise funds for spinal cord research, explains Brock.

“When Rick approached me and other close friends about joining him to organize the Man In Motion World Tour, there was no hesitation and it led to a four-year, full-time commitment to Rick’s incredible dream and an amazing journey.”

Hansen wheeled through 34 countries in 26 months to complete the worldwide journey that inspired thousands of people to make a difference in their communities.

Salmon Arm’s Joan Curry, now in her eighties, has been an ardent supporter of and fundraiser for the tour since Day One.

Clive Bryson stopped to take photos of Hansen as he wheeled along the Hope-Princeton Highway. He and his family then attended the homecoming at BC Place Stadium. Was Bryson inspired?

“Absolutely, who wasn’t? I think everybody was at that time. The man still inspires me. He’s turned a tragedy into a gift where he helps other people. He’s a wonderful man, one of our great Canadians.”

For Brock, Hansen’s philosophy that each person has something special to contribute and is capable of making a difference is a central belief for her. The Man in Motion tour, 25 years later, “still represents life’s brightest moment.”

“Twenty-fi ve years later, the concept of 7,000 medal bearers representing ‘difference makers’ creates a whole new momentum behind a new generation of Canadians. It promotes the idea that every person, through passion, courage, respect and integrity, possesses a special skill or strength to contribute toward making a difference in peoples’ lives to form a greater world...”

1919 Residents were prepar-ing to vote on a bylaw to establish an agricultural fair grounds here.The federal government gave orders for the drawing of a new coat of arms for Canada as the existing symbol represented only those provinces in the Dominion at the time of Confederation.

1929 Jack Moir was the head of a Legion committee that staged a highly successful masquerade ball in the Agri-cultural Hall. More then 200 attended and costume prizes went to Mrs. McIntosh, H. McKendry, Miss Eleneor Scott, Mrs. Strom, Mrs. S. E. Beech, Messrs. Wein-hard Hughes and McIntosh. A.B. Richards announced the winners and president Bert Evans distributed the awards.Hydro power was coming closer as poles were now one mile past Enderby and post holes were dug as far as Gardiner’s Lake.

1939 Standard Oil Company took a 60 day option on the site occupied by the Technocrats at Alexander Avenue and Palmer Street.“Trotty” Trotman completed his 17th year as a mail clerk for the Salmon Arm District.The ice left the lake here, but at Craigella-chie there was a 32 inch snowfall.

1949 Federal engineer N.G. Cox was inspecting Shuswap and Little Shuswap Lakes and Little River to deter-mine the amount of dredging work neces-sary.Frank Farmer opened a new confectionery, fruit and vegetable store on Front Street, with Mrs. Meryl Reedman in charge.

1959 A three-hundred pound boulder dropped on the roof of a car eastbound near Three Valley Gap, smashed the engine hood and crashed through the windshield. Mr. and Mrs. Nels Olsen of Revelstoke suffered only minor injuries.Trees and power poles were knocked down by gale force winds in Silver Creek and Deep Creek areas

CITY COUNCIL

In brief

Shape future of recreationYou’re invited to fulfi ll an important role. Help shape the future of parks and recreation in Salm-on Arm. The City of Salmon Arm will be holding a public workshop on Wednesday, April 11, 6 to 8 p.m. at the Prestige Harbourfront Resort, to help set priorities, goals and objectives for the next 10 years, with a 20-year horizon. The workshop will provide input which will help form the city’s parks and recreation master plan, as well as the cemetery master plan. “Public input is key to success,” says the city’s Brad Ackerman, noting the plans will infl uence future budget decisions. A fi rst draft will be pre-pared with a second public workshop to be held, probably in July.

Don’t hang upAs part of the information-gathering process for the city’s parks and recreation and cemetery mas-ter plans, a phone survey will be ongoing for the next six weeks. The Mustel Group has been hired to carry out seven- to 10-minute surveys of area residents, in order to get feedback on priorities for parks, the arena, the pool, the community centre – and more – over the next fi ve, 10, 15 and 20 years. The phone survey will be combined with input from the public meeting to be held April 11.

A veteran politician isn’t sure what his fu-ture holds.

George Abbott, who was fi rst elected Shus-wap MLA in 1996, ad-mits he is considering his options leading up to the next provincial election in May 2013.

“We’re 14 months away from an election and six months away from the nomination period,” he told The Morning Star Friday.

“I am giving some thought to whether I give another four years to public offi ce.”

When asked what factors he is consid-ering, Abbott said, “What are the things that interest me and what I want to do with my life over the next four years.”

As education minis-ter, much of Abbott’s recent schedule has been occupied by the labour dispute with the B.C. Teachers Fed-

eration. He eventu-ally moved ahead with back-to-work legisla-tion to bring any future strikes to an end.

Abbott also recently returned from China where he was promot-ing B.C.’s education system to international students.

Abbott insists that any decision not to seek another term will not be infl uenced by the current standings of the Liberal govern-ment, which are sig-nifi cantly behind the opposition NDP.

“It doesn’t play the slightest role,” he said.

“Parties wax and wane in the polls on a constant basis.”

He also says that his decision will not suggest dissatisfaction with Premier Christy Clark, who he ran against for the lead-

ership of the Liberal Party last year.

“I’m fully supportive of the premier and the government,” he said.

John van Dongen, Abbotsford South MLA, recently quit the Liberals and joined the B.C. Conservatives.

In announcing his move, van Dongen stated he has concerns about the integrity of the government.

“I was disappointed that he made the deci-sion he did and exited in the way that he did,” said Abbott.

Among van Don-gen’s concerns were the government paying the legal fees of two former employees who pled guilty to breach of trust in the sale of B.C. Rail, and the Liberals not selling the naming rights of B.C. Place to Telus.

Ottawa has slashed spending, but Shuswap reaction is mixed.

The new Conservative budget calls for $5.2 bil-lion a year in savings by 2015 and 19,200 federal jobs will be eliminated over three years.

“I wouldn’t call it drastic. They’re cuts that were reasonable,” said Colin Mayes, Oka-nagan-Shuswap MP.

“Those things that will create jobs and are better for the economy are still there and in some cases, they are in-creasing.”

Mayes supports in-creased funding for re-search and training and he says $105 million over two years is be-ing directed to forestry innovation and market development.

Eligibility for Old

Age Security will climb from 65 to 67 in 2023. It does not impact anyone 54 or older as of March 31, 2012.

“It’s not sustainable as it is,” said Mayes of the need to change the pension program.

“If we didn’t do something, we would go from $36 billion this year to $108 billion in 2030.”

There are also chang-es to political pensions.

“We recognize MPs and senators’ pensions are reasonably gener-ous. MPs will be paying more into the plan as of 2013,” said Mayes.

The budget calls for a $21.1 billion defi cit in 2012/13 and a surplus by 2015.

Mayes admits more could have been done to get Canada’s fi nances in order.

“We have to be realis-tic in the climate we’re

in. People still need jobs and if we make huge cuts, that would be a challenge.”

Nick Hodge, Oka-nagan-Shuswap NDP president, says sarcasm is required when con-sidering the budget.

“I’m pleased to see that MP pensions have been protected. Work-ing class seniors relying on Old Age Security were not so fortunate,” he said.

Hodge also says fed-eral spending continues to increase and that will push total debt to more than $600 billion next

year.“In 2006, Colin Mayes

promised supporters at a Salmon Arm meeting that he would resign if a Conservative govern-ment ever ran a defi cit. This budget projects the fourth defi cit in a row, with two more years to look forward to,” said Hodge.

“It is ironic that in ev-ery year between 1997 and 2008 the federal government had a sur-plus, but now our fi scal-ly conservative govern-ment appears unable to manage without piling on more debt.”

Businesses put new roof over pensioner’s head

They’ve got him cov-ered.

A 72-year-old Ran-chero resident has a new roof, thanks to the thoughtfulness and generosity of several local businesses.

Following last fall’s home show, Integ-rity Roofi ng contrac-tor Josh Bickle visited Dale Hanson’s home to give him a quote on a new roof.

Bickle saw that the shingles were so worn, the underlying ply-wood was clearly vis-ible. He left a quote and a month later, when he hadn’t heard from the Ranchero resident, he drove by to see if the work had gone to an-other company. Three more drive-bys during the winter and Bickle took his wife’s advice to ask Hanson why he hadn’t had his roof re-paired.

Hanson, whose only source of income is his old age pension, told him simply that he could not afford the $4,300 needed to do the job properly.

That bothered Bickle who shared his concerns with Joel De Boer, con-tract sales manager for Rona Salmon Arm, and

told him he was going to do the roof for the senior without charge.

“I told Josh I would help him in any way I could,” says De Boer, who previously worked for Rona in Kelowna where the company is very involved in com-munity. “That’s what I would like for this store, and general man-ager Gary Hoult backed me up all the way.”

De Boer called GAF, his roofi ng supplier, who willingly came on-board with a promise to donate half the needed materials.

“So between GAF and myself, I told Josh we would supply the roofi ng material so there would be no cost to him,” says De Boer.

But the generosity didn’t stop there.

De Boer passed the word along to Tybro Construction owner Ken Christensen, who supplied the plywood for the new roof and turned up Monday with his son TJ to help.

“This is the way a roof should be built,” said a thrilled Hanson, watching the crew in-stalling new shingles. “This is awesome; I haven’t had anything like this happen to me before.”

Shuswap residents will have an opportu-nity to meet some new faces from a political party that hopes to chal-lenge the Liberal domi-nation in this riding in the May 2013.

Three candidates are vying for the right to represent the Shuswap for the BC Conserva-tive Party: Tom Birch, Ed Klopp and Maureen Walker.

Birch, a Salmon Arm resident since 1998, has worked for non-profi ts, and in the for-est industry, where he is currently employed as a project manager for a Vancouver-based forestry software com-pany.

“I am passionate in the belief that democra-cy is the people’s gov-ernment and that we must re-engage those who are disillusioned with it,” he says. “Our youth particularly need to see how their par-ticipation does make a difference. We need to revive the concept of citizenship and working together to make our re-gion, our province and our country greater for our having been here.”

Klopp, a resident of Sorrento, has been a trucker, property devel-oper and, since mov-ing to the Shuswap in 2010, currently owns an asphalt repair com-pany. During his time in Alberta, Klopp has been involved with the federal Reform Party and the Wildrose Alli-ance Party.

“We need to stop ex-pecting the government to keep fi xing every-thing and expect taxes to go down at the same time. We can’t stay on the tax-and-spend spree that happened with the NDP in the ’90s and still is with the Liberal government to date... We need smaller, more transparent government making tough deci-sions.”

Walker, a native of northern B.C., moved to the Enderby area in 1997 and is the former owner of the North Val-ley Echo newspaper.

She is currently work-ing for Community Fu-tures Shuswap.

Walker stresses her vast knowledge of the Shuswap region, its businesses and people,

from both her work and as an active community volunteer.

“I am passionate about this province and feel that the BC Con-servative Party is the

only alternative to the current provincial gov-ernment.”

The three candi-dates will be available to meet and chat with the public on Friday,

April 13 from 4 p.m. to 6 p.m. at Toby’s Res-taurant in Sorrento. A similar event will be held on Saturday, April 14 from 7 p.m. to 9 p.m. at Choices Restaurant

in Salmon Arm. Cof-fee and dessert will be available by donation.

If you think bridge is only an older person’s game, think again. Bridge is exciting, challenging and played by young as well as old around the world.

In Salmon Arm, however, mainly older folks enjoy the game, but those who are younger are welcome to learn how to play.

Eugene Ogino, an enthusiastic local bridge player, invites new players to join a beginner’s group, Tuesday afternoons, 1:30 to 3:30 at the Fifth Avenue Seniors Centre.

“I consider bridge to be the chess of card games,” said Ogino, a retired high school teacher. “It can be played on many levels, social or very competitive.”

There are three types of bridge, describes Ogino, who has played for about eight years. Bridge involves “bidding,” and is always played with a partner. Four pairs play at each “table.” Several tables may play at once.

In social bridge, you change partners frequently. In rubber bridge, partners try to win two-out-of-three games. In duplicate bridge, each pair of partners is dealt the same hand and tries to play that hand to the best advantage.

All types of bridge require “a lot of thought, memory and analysis,” said Ogino, who plays both duplicate and social bridge.

Ogino fi nds duplicate bridge the most challenging. He plays several times each week.

“It’s a game I love to hate, just like golf,” he laughs.

“I don’t play the game well. I can’t remember cards and sometimes I forget what the count is,” he admits good-naturedly.

“Duplicate bridge can be very, very competitive. The only way you get points is by beating someone else, which gives you

incentive to play really well.”“It’s a challenge. If you do well, you get a

great deal of satisfaction.”Some top local players are Tom McNie

and Judy Harris, Barb and Dave Peterson, and Jim McLean and Nan Blackburn. McNie and Harris came in fi rst recently at the Silver Star Winter Carnival bridge tournament in Vernon.

McNie, who Ogino credits with a “phenomenal memory – and after a few rounds of play can usually tell what you

Trotting up to Junior AIt’s a dream come true. Salmon Arm’s Ethan Trotter will be joining the Junior A Okotoks Raiders lacrosse team this sea-son. Trotter is on the reserve list and is expected to be signed shortly. The team has an outstanding 82 and 6 record over the past four years and, three times, has made it to the Minto Cup – the pinnacle in Cana-dian lacrosse. Trotter has been working hard to make the grade, averaging about three-and-a-half hours per day in the gym since last season, when he played with the Kelowna Raiders.

Off to U18 BC CupFour members of the Salmon Arm Mall at Picca-dily Female Midget Rep team have been chosen to attend the U-18 BC Cup in Invermere, April 25-29. Salmon Arm’s Taylor Lund and Sarah Botter, Lisa Campeau of Lavington and Phoenix Lawry of Oyama were all members of the Salmon Arm team which recently hosted the BC Provincial Midget Female Championship over spring break. The team was coached by Shawn Lund and Troy Haskell.

have or don’t have in your hand,” has travelled to national tournaments in Seattle and Vancouver. He began playing bridge 30 years ago and plans to attend regional tournaments in Vancouver and Penticton this year. McNie holds Gold Life Master status, with 2,500 points.

For those who have never played before, Ogino offers lessons, and there’s the beginner group for players just starting out.

The cost per person to participate in games is small, said Ogino, who plays at

both the Seniors Centre and Downtown Activity Centre (DAC). Players may pay between $2 to $5 per person per game. Social bridge games typically last about two hours, rubber bridge slightly longer, and duplicate games can take three hours or more.

Ogino began playing bridge after retirement to give his brain a workout. He credits some very “kind and understanding” teachers who “babied me along” when he was learning bridge. Now, he enjoys introducing others to the game.

Dan Quilty of Salmon Arm

learned to play bridge about fi ve years ago in lessons taught by former Salmon Arm mayor Don Rogers.

Quilty, now retired from the merchant navy, enjoys the socializing.

“Communication between the partners is the big thing,” said Quilty, who enjoyed playing many card games growing up in Ireland and throughout his working life.

“Bridge is a game you never master. There are so many intangibles. It’s a wonderful game you’re always learning.”

Quilty advises new players to take lessons on

fundamentals, then attend a group.

“Your brain is always engaged. It’s a game for life.”

Those interested can phone Quilty at 250-832-6422 or Ogino at 250-832-6550 about any of the following weekly bridge groups: Beginners, Tuesday, 1:30-3:30 p.m.; Duplicate, Sunday 1-4:30, Seniors Centre and Tuesday 7-10:30, DAC; Social, Monday 7-9 p.m. and Thursday 1-3:30, Seniors Centre.

Other groups also play in Cedar Heights, Chase and at some other Salmon Arm locations.

Jam Cam Curling returns April 17 to 19The 46th annual Jam Can

Curling Bonspiel, which takes place April 17 to 19 on the ice at the Shaw Centre, is in need of help. Specifi cally, they need volunteers to help with registration. Lions Club member and organizer John Lund says they are in need of

at least a dozen volunteers to sit at registration booths that will be set up at the malls a week prior to the event. The whole event, he adds, requires around 75 volunteers during the three days of curling.

“We’re O.K. there – we always have plenty of parents

to help out,” says Lund. “It’s the registration at the malls where we really need the help.”

The perennial event, organized by the Salmon Arm Lions Club and co-sponsored by the City of Salmon Arm, attracts hundreds of local elementary school kids from

grades one to seven. An entry of $20 per four-member team is required to offset the cost of renting the ice. Hotdogs and drinks are provided free to participants on opening day by the Lions Club – all the cheering and yelling and fun is priceless.

The ringette com-munity is gearing up for the 2012 Tim Hor-tons Canadian Ringette Championships that will take place in Burn-aby from April 9-14.

Competing with the LMRL Thunder in the 2012 NRL Champion-ship is Salmon Arm forward Erika Lipsett, with assistant coach Cathy Lipsett.

On the BC2-Thomp-son Okanagan Ringette League team is forward Taigan Radomske, de-fenders Kairo Mair and Allison Bihari, goalie Tara MacMillan and assistant coach Cathy Lipsett.

A total of 46 teams from across the coun-try will compete in three divisions – U16, U19 and the Nation-

al Ringette League (NRL) division (18+). In the past, this event saw the top U16 and U19 teams in each province competing, but this year things will be a bit different.

For the fi rst time, the event has been opened up to include addi-tional teams and give more athletes the op-portunity to experience

competition at this lev-el. As such, there will be a total of 20 teams in the U16 division and 18 teams in the U19 di-vision.

This year, the top four teams in the West-ern Conference (Prairie Fire, Lower Mainland Ringette League Thun-der, Calgary RATH and Manitoba Jets) will compete against the

top four teams from the Eastern Conference. At the end of the week, a new NRL Cham-pion will be crowned. The defending NRL champion, Edmonton WAM!, did not qualify for the event this year.

Whistler Cup for two skiers

Slick style: Salmon Arm’s Max Scharf speeds his way down the hill during last season’s Whistler Cup.

Mitch Smith and Max Scharff recently attended the Western Canadian champi-onships, covering an area from Manitoba to B.C.

Results were as follows:In the slalom, Smith

placed fourth, sixth in giant slalom and 13th in Super G.

In the slalom, Scharf was fi fth in the fi rst round, but straddled a gate and was disqualifi ed.

In the giant slalom, he hit a gate very hard, bruising his shin and tearing his new race suit.

In the Super G, both Scharf and Smith made a deep turn and got caught in slow, unpacked snow, losing serious time.

They both had only had two days of Super G train-ing for the season.

Both boys, due to overall results in the BC Provincial Championships and Western Championships, qualifi ed for the only international race they will have this year, the Whistler Cup, April 6.

Smith qualifi ed for Team BC for that race.

It may have been the bannock that piqued her appre-ciation, but it was admiration for the cook that sparked a second book.

Local author Kay Johnston fi rst introduced Squamish el-der Mazie Baker in her fi rst book, Spirit of the Powwow.

“She is what you would call the lost generation, post resi-dential school – they knew nothing,” says Johnston who was introduced to the woman by way of raving about her ban-nock at a powwow. “Here was this dynamo churning out bannock in a tiny kitchen and graciously asking me to come on in.”

Baker, who died last spring, was unable to read or write and had no knowledge of her own culture.

But that didn’t stop her from advocating for her people and fi ghting unscrupulous band councils in the process.

“Once her husband died she became very involved with band policies,” says Johnston, noting the feisty aboriginal woman earned the cautionary phrase “don’t mess with Mazie” in the process. “If I was sitting in her living room typing and talking, she’d get phone calls saying, ‘Auntie we need your help.’ She was a pivot in that nation.”

Johnston says it was by sheer chance Baker heard the Squamish Nation council was pressing Ottawa for self-government.

“Her people were not aware; she got on her high horse,” says Johnston, noting a small group travelled the length and breadth of the Squamish Nation making sure people knew what band council was up to. “Then they headed off to Otta-wa where ultimately Baker argued against self-government before a senate committee in Ottawa.”

Baker fought other battles for the benefi t of her people and had a heart attack in the middle of a meeting on another contentious issue. She died later in hospital.

But that battle was won with three band councillors being thrown off band council, says the author.

Johnston says Baker’s daughter told her it couldn’t have been better for her mother, to die “while in the thick of it.”

Battles were nothing new to Baker whose parents pulled her from a North Vancouver residential school when she was very young, fl eeing across the line into Washington State.

For seven years, her family survived by picking whatever there was to pick during the growing season and working on Seattle docks during the winter.

“They didn’t dare come back across the border,” says Johnston, noting the family returned to Canada when Baker was well into her teens.

Baker went to work at the Gore Street Canadian Fishing Company’s Home Plant in Vancouver in 1947 when she was 16.

Married at 20, Baker gave birth to seven children and was determined they would get a good education. Most of her

children continue to be very involved with their culture and the powwow, says Johnston. “I love the people – they are a gentle people overall and they have respect for their elders,” she says, noting she and Baker became very good friends during the writing of the book Amazing Mazie. “They have such huge battles.”

Johnston will be using her book as the basis of a workshop she will present at the annual writers’

festival, which has been renamed Word on the Lake, a festi-val for readers and writers, which takes place May 25 to 27 at the Prestige Harbourfront Resort.

Writing one’s own memoir, or someone else’s life story, is like fi tting jigsaw pieces together to see the full picture, Johnston says.

This workshop will provide participants with practical strategies and tools to help fi t the puzzle pieces together and learn strategies to make their manuscripts interesting as op-posed to a resumé.

Participants will take home work sheets they can use to keep on track in creating a wonderful picture of a life, says Johnston, who encourages them to take any work they have underway to the workshop with them.

There is a limit of 25 participants on a fi rst-come, fi rst-served basis.

Moments in garden inspire art

Bloom - Portraits of a Garden is a retro-spective of 28 acrylic paintings by local art-ists Joyce Dorey, which opens with a reception Thursday, April 5 at 7 p.m. at SAGA Public Art Galley and runs April 7 to 28.

For Dorey, an hon-ours graduate of the Emily Carr University of Art and Design, the show is the culmina-tion of many years of sitting in her garden making sketches, fol-lowed by countless hours of concentrated work at her easel.

“My paintings are more about feelings and emotions than the simple reproduc-tion of an image,” she says. “Each idea, each subject comes together as one experience in a painting, one trip through the garden.”

Dorey adds that it is the view from her gar-den and the quality of light she experiences there that inspires her to create her often larg-er-than-life paintings.

“I also make a lot of notes to myself in my sketch books. Not only do my sketches serve as references when I go to paint, but my notes are able to take me back to the moment – back to that headspace where

“I was inspired to create the painting. It all stems from an idea and a moment in time.”

Dorey says that no matter where she goes, where she travels, she is always drawn back to the Shuswap.

“Besides, the longer you stay in one spot, the more you see.”

She is quick to point out too that “painting fl owers in my own gar-den doesn’t take any- where near the amount

of energy it does to pack up and traipse off to paint some-where else. My garden grounds me.”

She smiles when she says that her fl owers are her babies – that they fulfi ll a nurturing instinct.

As a child, Dorey says she used to paint pictures of the horses that lived on the home-stead where she grew up.

“When I graduated from high school, I just thought I would con-tinue and go on to art school,” she says. “But somehow life got in the way. I was in my early 50s when I eventually got to Emily Carr.”

Dorey has also stud-ied art at the Winnipeg School of Art and Oka-nagan University Col-lege.

Although admit-tedly infl uenced to some extent by the works of Emily Carr

and Georgia O’Keeffe, since graduating from art school, Dorey has worked hard to estab-lish her own unique style. Her paintings of Oriental poppies, lilies and irises from her garden are full of organic colours, lines and shapes that seem to come alive and draw you into her world.

Dorey’s paintings have sold all over the world.

SAGA Public Art Galley director/curator Tracey Kutschker says the gallery is excited to be presenting this show of Dorey’s paintings. Although a retrospec-tive, the show includes 12 new works.

“Dorey has im-mersed herself in her subject matter for many years,” says Kutschker. “The show is a visual journey that refl ects the peace and beauty she has been able to fi nd in her garden.”

Capturing blooms: Art-ist Joyce Dorey works on one of the paintings to be displayed in Bloom – Portaits of the Garden on display to April 28 at the SAGA Public Art Gal-lery.

In her book, Parting the Veils of Separa-tion, local author Alida Hilbrander explores the power of death to sepa-rate us from those we love.

On April 15, Hilbrander will pres-ent a workshop at the SAGA Public Art Gallery in which par-ticipants will pursue the continuity of con-sciousness beyond what we perceive with our everyday senses.

“We will do this from perspectives of after the separation of death when we communi-cate with loved ones, based on universal laws which create that po-tential,” she says. “We will discover that the same unity of life also surrounds us in the nat-ural kingdom.”

Hilbrander says par-ticipants will get in touch with dimensions in which people live in

their everyday world, as well as with dimen-sions that interpene-trate more subtle levels of awareness.

The day-long work-shop will conclude with a 75-minute fi lm, The

Path – Afterlife, which reveals the personal ex-periences of 12 profes-sionals in after-death communication.

Hilbrander says there is no separation after death other than what

we create ourselves.“There is nothing

new about this topic,” she says. “Connecting with loved ones after death is a very com-mon experience that has been part of life in ancient civilizations, such as the Greek, the Egyptians, the Sumer-ians, and more recently Amazonian, Maya, and other so-called primi-tive civilizations.”

Hilbrander says modern peoples have become so focused on what we can experience with our fi ve senses and defi ne that as reality.

“What we experi-ence with our intuition and deeper awareness

is considered not-so-cool, and when we do talk about experiences of connecting with loved ones or other beings whom we do not perceive with our physical senses, we are considered a bit soft in the head,” she says.

Hilbrander’s work-shop runs from 9:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Sun-day, April 15 at the SAGA Art Gallery.

Cost of the workshop is $45 for adults and $35 for students and se-niors. Pre-registration is required and can be accomplished by call-ing 250-835-4896, or email [email protected].

Worth every pennyStephanie Webster and Mike Shaver, known as, A Million Dollars in Pen-nies, perform on stage at the fi rst of three Songwriters Showcase events being held at the SAGA Public Art Gallery. The next showcase runs Friday, April 27 and features One Camel Short’s Richard Owings and Murray MacDonald and The Wild Oaks’ Linz Kenyon, Gillian Cran, Jesse Clarke and Jacob Verberg.

Known for her pow-erful vocal range, Ser-ena Ryder has logged some serious tour miles across Canada, the U.S., Australia and Europe.

And she’ll be stop-ping by for Roots and Blues in August.

Ryder has earned two Canadian gold records, three Juno Awards, a No. 1 holiday single for Calling To Say and been part of Bravo! TV’s Live at the Rehearsal Hall series.

On her late-2006 debut for EMI, If Your Memory Serves You Well, she covered some of Canada’s fi nest song-writers, including Leon-ard Cohen, as a way to learn from “these mas-ters of story” and fur-ther develop her own songwriting skills.

Ironically, it was the plainspoken heartache of Ryder’s own, entirely self-penned Weak in the Knees that propelled the record, earning her a Gold Single award.

Her follow-up record, Is It OK, is at times pal-pably sad, vulnerable and even confused, but always strikingly real and in the moment.

“There is a greater good to be found in the darker moments of one’s life...there are les-sons in the dark, more potent than any facades of happiness,” she says. “I’m frustrated at how greatly misinterpreted the word ‘happiness’ has become by pop cul-ture...most of us spend our whole lives trying to achieve this horrifi cally impossible state. I’m feeling my way around in the dark to stop using my ‘book by the cover’ eyes.”

The album is also tough as nails where it counts – just listen to the caustic roar Ryder brings to the standout rocker and fi rst single, Little Bit of Red. Other tracks such as All For Love, Blown Like The Wind, Stumbling Over

You, When The Truth Just Walks Away and title track, Is It OK, un-cover a plethora of emo-

tions.“This whole record

is about realizing that the more we think we know, the less we do know,” she insists. “It’s about me coming to terms with the fact that I’m imperfect, about being comfortable with feeling what I’m feel-ing and embracing be-ing human in any way I possibly can.”

Fortunately the pro-

cess of making the record felt at times ef-fortless for Ryder, who was completely at ease in the studio with such lofty session heavy-weights as guitarist Lyle Workman (Pixies, Beck, Sting) and drum-mer Matt Chamberlain (Tori Amos, Fiona Ap-ple, David Bowie).

“It was great because the process of writing the record and record-ing it were so cathartic,” says Ryder.

Her immense growth as a songwriter is evi-dent throughout the album, especially as Ryder is able to bring optimism and energy even to the record’s darker moments.

Special advance tick-et pricing for the 20th annual festival that runs Aug. 17 to 19 will be in place until May 25. Visit www.rootsand-blues.ca, call 250-833-4096 or visit the offi ce at the Salmon Arm Fair-grounds.

TIME OUTARIES (March 21 - April 19): With a Full Moon in the love sector, a relationship matter asks for a final decision. It might be hard to look at the road that led you here, but communication and honest self-reflec-tion can make your future direction clear to you.TAURUS (April 20 - May 20): Your work environ-ment might be undergoing a change. Whether it is your personal routines that alter, or a person who de-cides to leave, be patient with yourself as you adjust to the changes. A higher vision of your life motivates you during this time of quick action. GEMINI (May 21 - June 20): Venus moves into your sign for a rare, extended stay. This month, life begins to accelerate your blessings, but first you have to get clear about what you love most. Be brave in your questions. You’re laying the foundation to the re-wards that will come later this year. CANCER (June 21 - July 22): You see your past with clearer eyes. The insights you need are likely to come about through tough questions. Find a safe ear to confide in. With deeper understanding, matters of your relationships and the patterns you have lived can be changed instantly. LEO (July 23 - August 22): A cousin or sibling might ask for help in a work related matter. Understand that your own security must come before you can truly be there for another. A new, creative idea strikes you, but you aren’t sure if you are ready for another per-son’s input. Share as you’re ready. VIRGO (August 23 - September 22): Your financial prospects have been largely uninspiring and finances might have been a concern. This week, you find money matters draw your attention and ask you to make take ownership for the change you want. Take bold action to secure your prosperity.

LIBRA (September 23 - October 22): A Full Moon in your sign denotes your emotions are running high. Be patient with yourself as you feel the questions build in your heart. A deluge of feeling resolves your tension and makes your determination clear.SCORPIO (October 23 - November 21): You feel a strong sense of the underlying messages in key con-versations. This is the time to reach out to others and listen not to what they say, but for a message you need. With clarity in your own heart, you decide on a plan of action to move your life forward.SAGITTARIUS (November 22 - December 21): A friend might make a request that is difficult to fulfill. You don’t have to do anything that doesn’t feel right. Let this example present you with further evidence about the changes you have been going through. This is the time you see who is really on your side.CAPRICORN (December 22 - January 19): Your ca-reer is highlighted this week. A chance at progress is close at hand, yet the opportunity feels challenging. Make sure it’s not your essential values that are being questioned. The adjustment may take getting used to before you thrive in the changes.AQUARIUS (January 20 - February 18): You’re de-termined to share on a bigger stage than you’ve known before. Stating your desire brings up doubts you wish weren’t there, but bless you with insights into the ways you might hold yourself back. Empha-size your inherent worth to shine bright.PISCES (February 19 - March 20): Matters with a loan or grant might ask your attention. There might be additional paperwork or other loops you feel you need to jump through. Just take it one step at a time as you address each request. When resolution comes, it will be swift and fair.

LEO GOETTINGCarl Leo Goetting

passed away on the evening of Sunday April 01, 2012. After some years of struggle and a short stay in the Shuswap Lake General Hospital, his ending was peaceful.

Leo was the 5th of 6 children born to Bill and Della Goetting of Moose Jaw, SK; after Della’s early passing he was raised by his father Bill and Aunt, Mary McIvor.

In Leo’s teens, the family moved to Castlegar,BC. While already very active in sports, it waswhile singing in the high school choir that Leo met the woman of his dreams, Louise. The two wenton to study at U.B.C. in Vancouver. They marriedin 1960, and moved to the Shuswap where Leotook up teaching at J.L. Jackson.

While Leo majored in History and Geography,within a few years he was teaching full time PhysEd. He was very involved in sports; he coached many students in track and fi eld and cross countryrunning and led the J.L. Jackson girls’ basketballteam to winning a long string of provincialchampionships in the 1960’s.

Leo and Louise went through some diffi culttimes, as their second daughter Marcie had a formof muscular atrophy and died at the age of three.The couple remained very devoted to each other,and the family enjoyed many happy times campingand houseboating on the lake before Louise’sdeparture in 1992.

Leo was predeceased by his siblings, Della,Aggie, Hugh and most recently Wilda.

He is survived by his brother Roy and eldestdaughter, Lynn.

A memorial get together will be held on SaturdayApril 07, 2012 at 3:00 pm at Bowers Funeral HomeChapel, Salmon Arm, BC

E-mail condolences can be sent through Leo’sobituary at www.bowersfuneralservice.com

Opening a new restaurant has brewed

complications for a local couple.

Owners of the popular Barley Sta-

tion Brew Pub, Stu and Kathy Brad-

ford are opening Wicked Spoon, a

family-oriented restaurant two blocks

away at the site of the former East

Side Mario’s.

The menu will be diverse and the

restaurant will have a liquor licence.

Trouble is, the Bradfords will not be

permitted to serve – or promote in any

way – the beer that is made in the Bar-

ley Station’s microbrewery.

Under current B.C. legislation, the

two businesses are considered to be

under “tied-house” regulations – regu-

lations a spokesperson for the Minis-

try of Mines, Energy and Resources

says are under review.

“Initially I was prohibited from

opening a restaurant because I have an

interest in a brewery,” says Stu who,

following a letter to Shuswap MLA

George Abbott, received a “discre-

tionary decision” from the province

that allows him to open a new eatery.

“But I still can’t sell my own product.

I can sell my product to everyone else

in town but can’t sell my own product

to me. How’s that for stifl ing business

in B.C.?”The tied-house rule goes back to

the 1940s or ’50s, and was designed

to prevent large Canadian breweries

from getting control over what beer is

sold in pubs, says Stu.

“Our microbrewery is so small it

won’t have an impact on anybody,”

he says. “I suggested a way around it

would be to make an amendment (to

the regulations) to allow small brew

pubs who open another restaurant in

another location to sell to ourselves.”

He believes that would be a quick fi x

– a particularly timely one considering

the growing number of craft breweries

and brew pubs in the province.

“You can’t stop them from doing

Battle brewing over beer

RCMP have taken down their third marijuana

grow op in six days in the rural areas surrounding

Salmon Arm.

The latest search warrant involved a property in

the 5300 block of Sunnybrae Canoe Point Road,

where police were looking for an illegal electrical

power diversion.

The police search on March 26 netted just over

100 marijuana plants.

A 24-year-old woman was arrested on site,

while a second woman, 20, later turned herself in

to police. Charges of theft of power service are being rec-

ommended against both women, who were resid-

ing in the home. The women are not being named

until formal criminal charges have been laid.

Last Thursday, March 22, members of the

Salmon Arm RCMP detachment were over in

Blind Bay, where they executed a warrant in the

2600 block of Blind Bay Crescent. The search

yielded a marijuana grow of 703 plants in various

stages of growth.

Salmon Arm Staff Sgt. Kevin Keane says the

operation was being powered by electricity sto-

len through a hydro bypass. He says the electrical

system was found to be unsafe, and power to the

property was shut off. The investigation is ongo-

ing.In addition to police involvement, the disman-

tling of a third grow operation on Wednesday,

March 21 was assisted by Ministry of Environ-

ment offi cials, who were brought in to investigate

possible pollution into a nearby creek.

The grow operation was being run out of a large

shop on a rural property in the 2500 block of Ski-

mikin Road. RCMP found 860 plants, which staff

Keane described “as large as Christmas trees,” as

well as a sizeable amount of dried marijuana bud,

with an estimated value of $250,000.

“It was monstrous,” said Keane. “The shop was

Shaking his head: Barley Station Brew Pub owner Stu Bradford is still seeking a permit to sell beer

from his microbrewery at the Wicked Spoon, his soon-to-be-opening, family-oriented restaurant at the

former East Side Mario’s location.

Regulations: Pub owner can’t sell his own beer in new restaurant.

Rural area: RCMP seize

more than 1,600 plants

from Tappen, Blind Bay.
