Double murder in Anglemont

By Tracy Hughes OBSERVER STAFF

The deaths of a 45-year-old woman and 15-yearold boy are now being investigated as a double murder.

On April 30, at approximately 4:40 p.m., Chase RCMP were called to a residence in Anglemont, located 45 minutes east of Chase. Upon arrival, police located the bodies of the two people.

“RCMP have confirmed they are investigating a homicide,” said Const. Lesley Smith, North District media relations officer.

“The crime scene has been isolated to the residence and therefore the public is not believed to be at risk.”

The residence is located on Greenwich Close Road in Anglemont and remains cordoned off behind police tape.

Smith says the names of the two deceased have still not been released out of respect for the family.

Police are not commenting on whether they have a suspect or a motive in the case.

The search for a missing fisherman in the Salmon Arm area has officially been disbanded by RCMP and Shuswap Search and Rescue.

The man has been identified at 59-yearold John Poole from Calgary. He was last heard from at approximately 1 p.m. Tuesday, April 30 when he text messaged his wife with a picture of himself near Copper Island.

Poole’s family is now in contact with an Idaho couple who recently assisted with the recovery of the bodies of two teen boys from Nicola Lake near Merritt.

Gene and Sandy Ralston volunteer their time and specialized sonar equipment to find

THE

missing people in lakes.

Poole was staying at his vacation home in Wild Rose Bay and was seen fishing on Tuesday morning.

A neighbour looking out from a residence saw the boat out in choppy waters near noon, but could not see if anyone was on board.

He later saw the boat on shore, but thought the operator might have just been waiting out bad weather or visiting a geo-cache site located nearby.

At approximately 8 a.m. May 1, the man’s boat was found beached on the rocks by the same neighbour, who contacted police. The boat was in gear with the down riggers and fishing lines engaged.

Shortly thereafter, the man’s wife called

Salmon Arm RCMP to report him missing.

“When we boarded the boat, we found the man’s wallet, jacket and car keys, as well as some tools spread out.

We also checked the home and nothing was amiss,” says Staff Sgt. Kevin Keane.

Police do not believe Poole was wearing a life jacket.

Last Wednesday, members of Shuswap Search and Rescue were out on the water and a helicopter was called in to assist with an aerial search of the region near Eagle Bay.

By Thursday, however, the search had been scaled back before finally being called off.

Home invasion Instead of an alarm clock, an owner of a Salmon Arm residence awoke to find two men in his house who were brandishing baseball bats and a double-edged, serrated knife.

The incident took place at approximately 1 a.m. on May 3, when police received an abandoned 911 call from a cellular phone.

Police traced the owner of the of the cell phone to a resident in the 600 block of 2nd Avenue NE. Two men had smashed a window to gain entry to the home. The men were wearing black balaclavas and brandishing the weapons.

The resident was unharmed, but the men took a number of items including electronics.

A police dog and handler were called in and the RCMP tracked the men to a residence on 2nd Street SE. At this residence, one man was arrested, while a second man attempted to flee out the rear door and jump over a nearby fence. The man was arrested following a short foot chase.

All stolen property has been recovered. Police also found a small quantity of cocaine.

Disaster aid motion shot down SILGA: Convention brings municipal issues to the forefront.

By Lachlan Labere OBSERVER STAFF

While this year’s Southern Interior Local Government Association convention was successful for Salmon Arm, it wasn’t entirely so for the District of Sicamous.

Last week the City of Salmon Arm hosted 200 local government representatives, who were in town for the three-day convention.

Held at the Prestige Harbourfront Resort, the event provided an opportunity for members to discuss pressing issues of the day, pass related resolutions to go to the Union of BC Municipalities convention for wider support, and learn from numerous guest speakers including former Shuswap MLA George Abbott, B.C. Auditor General for Local Government Basia Ruta and former Vancouver Canuck Trevor Linden. But the event, organized and co-ordinated with the help of Salmon Arm council’s SILGA representative Chad Eliason and city staff, was also

an opportunity to showcase the city.

There were 34 resolutions voted on during the convention. While Salmon Arm did not have any resolutions, the District of Sicamous had four, of which only two passed.

Of the resolutions that didn’t succeed, the most surprising for Sicamous Mayor Darrell Trouton had to do with seasonal property owners not being covered under the province’s Disaster Financial Assistance. The resolution urges the province review this policy, “with a view to allowing all property owners regardless of principle or secondary occupancy, to qualify for DFA.” What was particularly surprising for Trouton was the sole person who spoke against this resolution, the Columbia Shuswap Regional District’s Area E–Sicamous/Malakwa director Rhona Martin.

Martin said she spoke against the resolution because the policy is the same elsewhere, including Alberta. She also noted B.C. wouldn’t have the money to cov-

SATURDAY, MAY 11TH LAchLAn LABere/OBSERVER

All smiles: Salmon Arm Coun.Marg Kentel presents a gift basket to B.C. Auditor General for Local Government Basia Ruta, who was a guest speaker Friday for the Southern Interior Local Government Association convention held in Salmon Arm May 1 to 3. er the proposed change.

“I know how horrible it is, I’ve had to watch it twice now, where you have folks on one side of the street that are able to get coverage because they live there all the time, and you have folks on the other side of the street and it’s their seasonal property and they don’t receive any compensation,” said Martin. “At the same time, it would be millions of dollars and I don’t think we can afford it.”

After the municipal auditor’s presenta-

tion, Ruta addressed a question on the minds of many present – the pressures an audit might have on already limited resources. Ruta suggested avoiding duplication and the provision of additional resources via the Local Government Management Association as possible solutions.

Sicamous administrator Heidi Frank is hopeful that, if an audit should proceed, that some kind of support comes with it.

“Because we are all at full capacity and there’s

no way we can take any of our staff and pull them aside to work with an auditor general,” said Frank. “While I understand what the province is trying to do, the strain is going to be huge on small communities.”

Tom Birch responds...

I am not so much focused on projects as I am on steady progress on all issues. For example, the TCH needs to be upgraded. We have known this for 20 years and it won’t be solved quickly. This is a priority for me but it will be ongoing throughout the term.

I will work on all the issues: jobs; Chris George responds...

I would work hard to see SLIPP granted permanent funding and to have their mandate expanded to cover the entire Shuswap watershed, from Kamloops to Sugar Lake and from Salmon Arm to the end of the Adams, Seymour and Anstey drainages.

We must protect the integrity of our lake to protect property valSteve Gunner responds...

While being an MLA can never be about promoting one single project, my passion has always been agriculture.

As an organic poultry farmer I know just how much government policy can affect one’s ability to be successful. The BC Liberal changes to meat inspection regulations nearly put us out of business.

the highway upgrade; protecting lake water quality. I will also work on provincial issues that impact all ridings like health care and education.

Very few things that an MLA does are solved quickly and so do not lend themselves to being projects.

If elected MLA for the Shuswap, I plan to focus on supporting the efforts to open the Downtown Community Campus branch of Okanagan College in Salmon Arm. The campus would provide a number of economic benefits for the Shuswap by attracting students who will remain in Salmon Arm throughout the winter months,

supporting local industry during slower periods. In addition, the residence space will provide more tourism capacity during the busy summer months. Increased population within Salmon Arm and the surrounding area will provide a larger ridership for possible transit expansion, making the area more accessible for those in the surrounding areas.

The view from here

Martha Wickett

Ask would-be MLAs How are you? How ya doing? People ask this question of each other often.

They’re not referring just to physical health nor is it a question about financial standing. It’s a question about well-being, general well-being. While it may be rare that the person asking is really looking for a true and detailed response to the question, it is a way that we humans check in with each other. We all know how important well-being and happiness is.

In the thick of an election campaign, we hear everything – but nothing – about well-being. Some politicians, for instance, speak with fervour about pipelines and tankers, about how the only salvation for our province and our families lies in frenetic fracking and oil-sodden sand. Yet this promise of jobs, and the projects’ inherent and substantial financial gain for the relative few in control of such endeavours, does not speak to the costs of such jobs – to overall well-being and happiness.

Mark Anielski, an economics professor at the University of Alberta and the author of the Economics of Happiness: Building Genuine Wealth, returned to Salmon Arm recently for his second visit in five years. As an economist, he works with communities, businesses and governments to help them assess, measure and manage their genuine wealth – the things, he explains, that matter most to well-being, to quality of life and to sustainability. He has long talked about the need for countries and communities to have balance sheets, where both assets and liabilities are tallied.

Instead, the full picture is rarely considered.

While in Salmon Arm, he spoke about how more places around the world are making well-being central to their goals and plans.

In his book, he refers to Bhutan, which has been measuring gross national happiness, not gross national product, since the 1970s.

He noted that people have a common yearning for happiness, for complete well-being of body, mind and spirit. He just returned from Tahiti, where that country’s leaders are embracing the concept of building genuine wealth, in order to help inspire youth to dream a new dream for their country. He also recently completed a well-being audit for Leduc, Alberta.

Anielski spoke of his admiration for Robert Kennedy and his critical view of an economic system based on GNP. He quoted Kennedy, who said, “Yet the gross national product does not allow for the health of our children, the quality of their education, or the joy of their play... It measures everything, in short, except that which makes life worthwhile.”

Anielski noted that the U.S. debt is now $57 trillion.

“It can’t be repaid through the GDP (gross domestic product).

It’s a bizarre system and we created it.”

At this time when British Columbians are being wooed by would-be politicians, he says he would like to know whether candidates have a platform based on an economy of well-being.

Excellent idea. Our system of continued growth with finite resources is definitely not translating into increased well-being for the majority of its citizens.

Editorial

Health care a top priority for region It’s no surprise that the issue of health care and physician access came up at the Salmon Arm, Sorrento, Enderby and Armstrong all-candidates forums.

“The delivery of health care in the rural area is abysmal,” said Armstrong resident and former mayor Jerry Oglow at Wednesday’s forum.

Residents are forced to travel to bigger centres like Vernon and Salmon Arm to seek medical attention. While there, many are buying prescriptions, groceries and spending their dollars in other communities. And that’s driving commerce out of the smaller centres.

Therefore the suggestion of utilizing nurse practitioners is one many candidates agree on.

There has also been the suggestion that more

preventative measures need to be taken to take the burden off the health care system. People who eat better and exercise regularly are healthier, therefore don’t need to visit the doctor as often.

So everyone can agree that something needs to be done, and there are some realistic suggestions on the table.

Whoever gets elected will need to take such suggestions (whether they are their own, their fellow candidates’ or the citizens’) and make them a reality.

It’s evident through these recent forums that health care is a top priority among many Shuswap residents. Therefore the elected official needs to make it their top priority as well.

‘Slippery Dix’ could Skipped meeting speaks volumes spell fiscal ruin Polls continue to suggest an NDP government. All we can wish for is a miracle to intervene and save the province. I said, the NDP would have spent $2 billion, referring to the money pledged to union contracts, if Dix was elected.

I feel silly for misleading the readers, I wish to correct my error.

Six billion dollars of new spending, is now the target. I did not think, that Dix would talk only about the $4 billion he was going to spend, before he gets elected as his election platform.

“Slippery Dix” scores again. Clark had nothing over this guy, he was easy on us, collecting a messily $500 million in the first six months of his reign, spreading over 18 months before it reached $1.6 billion in new taxes.

I hope all the folks that invited the Devil to the party, have saved up for this event.

If Dix gets his way, with the letters sent out to business owners

who donated to the Liberals, he could cash in big time and save you a bucket of money.

The letter gets to the point, it shows the total balance of dollars, that the business donated to the Liberals over several years. It then asks for a $5,000 donation, before the election, “as a commitment” to a balanced government. (your stomach turning yet?)

Under this current political environment, some might take that as a form of extortion or bribery.

Rather a slippery move if you ask me. I guess, we really shouldn’t expect anything less. But seriously, how much more ignorant can a politician get?

The Dix arrogance will slither to the bitter end, along with the open tap of money squandering and giveaways.

Hope you all have “biggy piggy” banks, you will need them!!!

Bryon Every

When corporations rule Two news items struck me recently: Latest polls showing that the NDP is slipping in its lead.

Pipeline giants spending mega bucks to promote pipelines across B.C. on TV. I wonder if these two things are connected? If so, it shows that the general public has not learned to think independently yet.

Here we are going to be supporting pipelines and tanker traffic with our tax dollars, which could be redirected to promote sustainable energy. The cost to the taxpayers of a spill cleanup will be massive.

Too bad an honest politician

gets penalized for having a good idea.

But of course, in the old days, people with new ideas (Earth is not flat, Earth turns around the sun) were threatened with death and, at the very least, excommunication by the Catholic church.

Today’s version (corporations) of the Church of Rome pay for ads with mega bucks and destroy careers and democracy.

If we don’t learn from the lessons of history, we are bound to repeat the mistakes. Holy Inquisition cannot be far behind!

Given the revelations regarding his involvement in the Old Town Bay project in 2007, one can understand why Mr. Kyllo might be uncomfortable at a forum on the environment spon-

sored by SEAS et al. Surely the excuse that he doesn’t have time to prepare for forums sponsored by special interest groups does not speak well of his ability to serve as our MLA, nor is it true.

He does attend forums sponsored by the chambers of commerce which are by any meaning of that phrase “special interest groups.”

Citizen pleased with election slate The all-candidates meeting at the Seniors Centre on Monday, April 29 was well worth attending. All three candidates (Gunner, NDP; Birch, Conservative; George, Green) were not only knowledgeable about the environment, they were also passionate about protecting it. Their passion,

however, did not override their logic and keen sense of business.

If any of these three were to represent me in Victoria I would truly feel represented. I just wish we had proportional representation or single transferrable voting.

Proportional voting could bring us more than one candidate. I

encourage others to attend the remaining all-candidates meetings so you can see for yourselves what wonderful candidates we have running to represent us.

Greg Kyllo, from the BC Liberals, was absent on Monday.

Conservative voters should unite Something to think about.

If Conservatives vote Liberal or NDP in the coming provincial election, it will be the death knell for B.C. – in my opinion.

B.C. just cannot support any more negative government input such as it has had since 1991. If so, businesses will continue to fail and people will continue to move out of B.C.

Since moving to B.C. 20 years ago, the province has gone downhill drastically and people have left for greener fields. The saying was and still may be prevalent: “Would the last one to leave please turn out the lights.”

Finally, we have a sensible and responsible party that cares for the people and is able and ready to bring B.C. back to where it

should be and to what it can be – the greatest province in Canada.

Over 45 per cent of Conservatives in B.C. vote for the federal Conservatives. People, wake up and smell the roses. It is now indeed time for all Conservatives to get their act together. United we stand – divided we fall. Just sayin’!

Mildred Lybeck

Dix put money on the wrong issues Earth calling Adrian Dix. Can you hear me or have you tuned out undecided voters? I bet you would have a 20 per cent lead in the polls if you had promised British Columbians nothing more than an open honest government. Your grandiose schemes – the ones Ms. Clark is claiming will bankrupt the province – should have been put on hold. The voters would have sup-

ported you anyway. Most of us are tired of listening to the selfserving repetitive rhetoric of our desperate fact-twisting premier.

But her message slithers into the dark corners of the mind. Deepseated fears of a four-year freespending socialist debacle are unconsciously aroused.

You could have said your platform was an outline of what the NDP would like to do, but you

would have to first look at BC’s financial books to see which programs are currently affordable.

Emphasizing fiscal prudence would have made it a lot easier for some of us to vote for your party. If you end up losing this election at least you will know who to blame: that disappointed guy in your bathroom mirror.

Our province’s resource endowment has always been a mainstay of both jobs and the generation of revenues needed to fund social programs.

From what I have seen and heard, an NDP government would rev up spending while stymieing resource development through endless environmental reviews and or by just saying “no,” driving investment to other provinces and other countries.

We need new mines and gas fields, pipelines, refineries, ports and processing plants to replace jobs lost by tech change and by events like the pine beetle ca-

tastrophe.

Economic development and the protection of the environment are not mutually exclusive.

Yes, we must be good stewards of our beautiful province, but we do have the technology to move the economy forward in an environmentally responsible manner.

Saying no to new projects will mean job losses for the currently employed and no opportunity for young people looking to join the work force.

We also need to focus on balancing the provincial budget, rather than taking money away from social programs to fund rising interest costs. Forty years of experience in business has taught me that too much debt is crippling.

It scares me that the NDP have rolled out billions of dollars

in new spending during this campaign, and their “every dollar is accounted for” rhetoric just isn’t credible because their anti-development attitude will reduce revenue at the same time as spending rises.

There is truth to the adage, “Those who fail to learn from history are doomed to repeat it.”

The NDP came to power in 1991 and governed the rest of that decade.

Investment dried up and economic growth trailed the rest of Canada.

A low point came when the Edmonton Chamber of Commerce thanked the B.C. government for driving growth investment in Alberta.

Glenn Clark’s 19961999 tenure was arguably the most disastrous for B.C. and with Adrian Dix, Premier Clark’s former chief of staff leading the province, I’d be very worried about history repeating itself.

It took many years for the Liberals to repair the

damage. During their time in government, North America suffered through a major recession and yet we now have a triple-A credit rating, higher than the U.S. government, allowing B.C. taxpayers the lowest possible interest rates Have the Liberals done everything right?

Certainly not.

The introduction of the HST by the Campbell government was badly handled.

There have been other gaffes and illthought-out policies.

And while there is a natural inclination for people to vote to change long governing parties, it’s important not to let the NDP sleepwalk to victory without thinking about which party is likely to create jobs and not burden today’s young people with a mountain of debt.

I’m not asking that you agree with me, only that you think through the full consequences of your choice carefully.

A covered wagon with four visitors from Winnipeg was camped at the city park. The visitors were looking for a location to farm. They were delighted with the district and hoped to settle here.

The Girl Guides and Brownies were visited by the Guide field secretary from Toronto.

She inspected the companies in St. John’s Hall where Miss Bjorkmann, Guide captain, and Mrs. W.S. Ackroyd, Brown Owl, were in charge. A prize for perfect attendance was presented to Patrol Leader Doris McEwan.

75 years

Salmon Arm has been a small town with a big heart for a very long time.

When the Canadian Cancer Society was formed in 1938, the first branch office opened here.

President of the Girl’s Hospital Aid at the time, the late Senia Howard opened the office and took on the role of branch president.

“It just sort of dropped in my lap,” said Howard, when she was honoured in 1988 for her long and dedicated service – service that included a decade as campaign chair for the whole area.

As she accepted a silver tray in a ceremony commemorating 50 years of service to the Canadian Cancer Society, Howard spoke of the importance of education, but was quick to note the society does a lot more.

That spirit of service continues in Salmon Arm today, where current branch president Terry Jobe lists some of the services provided – free wigs, many made with hair donated by local hair salons, a cancer support group facilitated by Tovie Green and a group relaxation led by Nina Dickins.

“We’re a referral service; we find information for people, steer them in the right direction, provide financial support for those that can’t afford to travel and get accommodations,” Jobe says, noting some 23 volunteers handle in-memoriam and

1943

A Haney man was sentenced to three months in jail and fined $100 for hoarding sugar and having a ration book which didn’t belong to him.

The Observer ran several recipes for stretching the meat ration. It was the first week of meat rationing.

Mr. and Mrs. Wilfred Reed received word that their son, Lieut. Ken Reed, had arrived safely overseas.

1953

Apple shipments from Salmon Arm’s 1952 crop totalled 148 carloads. One hundred and four carloads went to the domestic market, 14 carloads to the United States and 30 were shipped to the processors.

Forty-eight students graduated from Salmon Arm Junior Senior High School.

The release states that the event will feature the Third Annual Sturgis North Burnout, the Second Annual Cabbage Patch Wrestling Match plus the first Supernova’s Battle of the Bands, as well as classic rockers Jerry Doucette and Sweeney Todd.

“New this year we are adding some country artists on Sunday in conjunction with the City of Merritt, the Canadian Country Music Hall of Fame and the Walk of Stars.”

Some creditors remain unpaid from the 2011 and 2012 events. Sturgis North officials have not returned recent emails or calls from the Observer.

City misses carbon target

By Lachlan Labere OBSERVER STAFF

Unable to meet the 2012 target, the city will continue to strive towards carbon neutrality without the help of the Pacific Carbon Trust.

The city has released its final report for 2012 required as a signatory to the B.C. government’s climate action charter – Salmon Arm was one of 133 municipalities pledging in 2008 to become carbon neutral (achieving zero carbon emissions through reduction and/or the purchase of offsets) by 2012. According to the city staff report, Salmon Arm did not achieve this goal. Regardless, city development services director Kevin Pearson recommended the city continue its progression towards carbon neutrality. Two projects that will help in this endeavour are the construction of 395 metres of new sidewalk and the boiler replacement at the SASCU Recreation Centre.

“Greenways is another thing that

the city is invested in,” said Pearson.

“Those are just examples of some of the ways the city has moved towards carbon neutrality. The other option is for the city to purchase carbon offset credits from Pacific Carbon Trust and the CSRD, so that is an option too, but it’s not the recommended one.”

To have become carbon neutral by the voluntary 2012 deadline, the city would have to had purchased enough credits to offset 1,944 tons of CO2 emissions. This would have cost Salmon Arm $31,590.

“What it looks to me like is you can buy carbon offsets for $31,590, but you’re no better off if you do than if you don’t. So why would you want to buy one?” asked Coun. Alan Harrison.

City administrator Carl Bannister noted how there’s currently a lot of debate regarding carbon offsets and said it’s wise to take a “wait-andsee” approach.

Recycling nets long-term payoff

By Martha Wickett OBSERVER STAFF

The more the merrier – and healthier and cheaper and more efficient.

Carmen Fennell, waste reduction coordinator for the Columbia Shuswap Regional District, told the annual general meeting of Downtown Salmon Arm that it is urgent that more people, including businesses, recycle.

She pointed out that when the CSRD did a waste composition study on the Salmon Arm landfill, it showed that more than 50 per cent of what’s going into it could be kept out. The study showed 30 per cent of waste is organic material, 22 per cent is paper and eight per cent, plastic.

“It is shocking to me – it’s probably shocking to you, too,” she told the meeting.

The Salmon Arm landfill is estimated to have about 40 years of life left.

“In my mind 40 years is not a long time,” Fennell said, explaining that recycling is funded completely through taxation, while landfill operations come from tipping fees. Last year, $1.2 million was generated by recycling, but it actually cost the regional district $1.8 million.

To build a new landfill would cost $12 million, closing the existing one would be $7 million,

and $3.5 million would have to be kept in a reserve fund to look after the closed site over the next 25 years.

“What all this means is there is a heck of a lot of money to be spent in 40 years,” she said, adding that the problem is, with the recycling shortfall, no money is being put aside for a new landfill.

She said she’d like to impart a sense of urgency, because “it’s a

“It’s the ease…,” remarked Fennell. “If you’ve got it, you’ll use it. If you don’t, you won’t.”

She said the CSRD would like to provide education on recycling for businesses, and she will also be monitoring what’s going into the landfill. Later on, penalties and fines will be introduced for those who don’t comply.

Fennell said she will visit businesses who are interested and go through their garbage, to determine if they can make improvements.

The final stage, she

said, will be working with the chamber of commerce to hand out community sustainability awards.

Currently the city’s recycling program covers only residences, but it is the CSRD’s hope, that it will be extended to businesses. At the moment, businesses must sign up for a private contract with a recycling company.

“Economies of scale make these programs happen, and it’s the convenience factor.”

big problem and it’s not that far off. What we are working towards is a zero-waste philosophy as that can extend the life of the landfill…”

Last year about seven tons of recyclables went to the recycling depot in Salmon Arm while another seven were collected by curbside recycling. Although it was thought the need for the depot would be reduced with the curbside program, only about 13 per cent less is going to green bins – meaning more people in total are recycling.

Businesses reduce waste by composting

By Lachlan Labere OBSERVER STAFF

Salmon Arm businesses have taken big step towards what might be the next big move in waste reduction.

With a successful curbside recycling program in place, the Columbia Shuswap Regional District has initiated a study into the feasibility of “diverting residential and commercial food waste” with a composting program. However, several business have already begun doing it themselves. Composting stations have been set up at Table 24, McDonalds, Okanagan College and in the inner core parking lot to accommodate downtown businesses.

“This is a huge step in our solid waste management plan moving towards zero waste,” says CSRD waste reduction facilitator Car-

men Fennell in a news relese. “These businesses took the initiative of managing a huge portion of their waste in a totally sustainable manner.”

Collected commercial food waste will be composted at Spa Hills Farm, which can take everything from dairy to meat products, and even soiled paper napkins, which don’t ordinarily go in backyard composters says Fennell.

In a recent presentation to Salmon Arm council, Downtown Salmon Arm general manager Joanne Mason said many of the downtown businesses participating in the program are doing so at a cost.

“The cost of garbage is expensive, and some of them have taken a huge step forward and biting the financial bullet to make sure their waste is not going to the landfill,” said Ma-

son, “but rather, being organically composted, and I think those businesses should be applauded.”

Anyone wanting to reduce what they send to landfill and needing information may contact Fennell at 250-8328194.

Mary Jo Beirnes of the Shuswap Pie Company and Bill Laird, downtown property owner, are among the first participants in a commercial food composting program that will reduce waste at the landfill.

What have they done to Grandpa?

H

undreds of seniors are stuck in acute care hospitals and residential care homes – away from their loved ones – because the government cut home care and eliminated home support services.

The government has downloaded services to volunteers and eliminated professional home support workers who are trained and accountable in dealing with the needs of seniors. Without proper home support, many seniors are needlessly forced into institutions.

MASTER COMPOSTER & RECYCLER PROGRAM

Master Composter Recyclers are volunteers who know all about composting, recycling and how to reduce waste. They love to share what they know. Master Composter Recyclers: • complete a 1-day course • volunteer at least 35 hours

TEACH FRIENDS AND NEIGHBOURS WHAT THEY LEARNED

WHAT DO MASTER COMPOSTER RECYCLERS DO?

They promote the three Rs: Reduce, Reuse, and Recycle.

• Show co-workers how to grasscycle • Teach newcomers what to recycle • Give a presentation about reducing waste • Help a neighbour start a compost • Have a backyard compost party • Engage the public at community events

Universal home support

COSCO is calling for universal home care and home support services, based on need, available seven days a week to seniors and people with disabilities.

Such a service would allow thousands of seniors to live with dignity and respect in their own homes, close to families and friends. It would cost much less than acute or residential care.

It would strengthen our overall public health care system by reducing the pressure on acute care hospitals.

As a matter of both human decency and common sense economics, providing universal home support so people can remain in their own homes must be a priority for the next government of our province.

On May 14, please vote for a candidate who will respect seniors and their families by supporting universal home care and home support services

Buckerfield’s was alive with chickens on Sunday, May 5 for the first Salmon Arm chicken-swap.

The event brought more than 100 people to buy and sell a variety of breeds of poultry and eggs.

Organizer Randy Fairweather said similar events are held in Alberta and on the Coast, but this was the first B.C. chicken swap he’s been involved in.

“There’s nothing like it around,” Fairweather said. “A lot of people just wanted to get something together where we could do it all at one place, where everybody could buy and sell instead of going to auctions.”

He said there are a lot more people getting involved especially where you can have hens within city limits.

According to Salmon Arm’s bylaw, you must have over a half acre and the noise and smell can’t disturb your neighbours.

An hour after the swap started, Fairweather had already sold around 50 of the 80 chickens he brought.

Most people were interested in buying egg-laying breeds.

Enderby farmer Herman Drescher said people are less confident in what’s available in stores and have turned to raising their own chickens so they know exactly what they’re getting.

“People are educating themselves on it and we’re just helping them along,” Fairweather said.

Kyle Foisy of Vavenby said he brought 150 birds and was down to less than half after an hour. This was the first time he has ever participated in such an event, being new to the chicken business.

“It’s a great thing to get together and have everyone display what they have,” Kyle said.

Although egg-laying breeds were most popular, there were also specialty birds for poultry shows and fertilized hatching eggs for sale.

Fairweather also had breeds brought in from the U.S., some of which are new to Canada.

Fairweather says they plan on having up to three chicken swaps a year, based on the success of this event.

Iconic treehouse gets new home

By Tracy Hughes OBSERVER STAFF

Salmon Arm’s Joel Allen believes in stories — and he knows all good stories need an ending.

The HemLoft, a uniquely beautiful oval structure resting high in a tree on Crown land gained world-wide attention when it was revealed in an architectural magazine and sparked others to search for its undisclosed location. Allen took three years to build the struc-

ture, scrounging materials and often sleeping in his car while he created his vision.

The structure caused some debate because Allen built it in secret on Crown land, getting no permissions or permits. As the creator of the HemLoft, a secret treehouse he built in the woods of Whistler using primarily free and reclaimed materials, Allen felt it was time to close this chapter of the structure’s lifespan.

“All structures that are human-made need

to be actively maintained to stay beautiful.

I’m not living in Whistler, I have a baby on the way, I knew I could not give the HemLoft the care it needed,” says Allen.

So Allen turned to Craigslist, the place where he obtained much of the free building materials for the structure in the first place. He posted an ad inviting people to provide a new home for the HemLoft. It would be disassembled to become a do-it-yourself

project. Allen got a huge response, with a few hundred inquiries and more than 100 official proposals including from a university, the BC Children’s Hospital, the Four Seasons hotel, and private plans from Nova Scotia and California.

In the end, Allen decided to put the HemLoft in the hands of Allan Crawford, owner of Canadian Wilderness Adventures on the tour company’s tenure in the Callaghan Valley, where it will be a fea-

ture on the tour’s Medicine Trail for hikers and snowshoers. He also felt a kinship with Crawford, who already has reclaimed structures, including an old caboose, as part of the tours.

Allen went to Whistler and pulled down the structure, calling the operation dangerous but strangely satisfying.

“Emotionally it was a relief actually, to return the woods to its natural state. It was cool to just walk away and see the woods exactly as it had been before all of this.”

The conundrum that surrounds snacking HealtHy bites

Serena Caner How often should we eat?

Is it better to graze all day or eat three square meals?

There are many healthy ways to eat and the best timing of your meals depends on your habits and lifestyle.

One important technique in deciding whether or not you should snack, is to become aware of why you are eating.

As humans, we don’t only eat when we are hungry (stomach hunger), but also when we are bored (mouth hunger), anxious, sad, happy (heart hunger)...

Other good questions to ask before snacking are: Is my next meal going to be delayed? What types of food do I snack on?

Does snacking prevent me from overeating later? And most importantly, once I start snacking, can I stop?

In diabetes, we often encourage snacking between meals to help people spread out their carbohydrate intake throughout the day, reducing the likelihood of having the high blood sugars that can result from large meals.

In weight loss, we also encourage some people to snack to prevent getting hungry.

While this sounds counterintuitive, the reality is that many people make poor food choices and overeat when they are really hungry. For some, preventing true hunger makes it is easier to stick to smaller portion sizes.

That being said, snacking can just as easily cause you to gain weight.

Snacking provides more occasions for eating food, and while we may intend to snack on vegetables, soon the chips and cookies start calling our name.

These choices tend to be more caloric, addictive and hard to stop

eating. Finally, with children, too much

snacking can decrease their appetite for more nutritious foods at mealtimes.

So what are some good snack ideas?

Again, the answer to this question depends

on why you are eating, but in general you want something that is satisfying to your hunger and nutritious.

To promote satiety and stable blood sugars, a snack that con-

tains some fibre, some protein and a little fat is a good idea.

Examples include an apple with peanut butter, veggies with hummus or a couple whole grain crackers with

cheese.

However, in our culture it is important to recognize that sometimes you just need a little chocolate and that is okay, too, just try to be moderate with your

portion!

Rebecca Howard and Riddle Master complete their second clear round in the stadium jumping at the Badminton Horse Trials in England.

Above, the Canadian duo puts in an impressive performance over the cross-country course and, at left, they ride the dressage test.

Howard ranks in world’s top twelve

By Martha Wickett OBSERVER STAFF

At one of the premier international three-day eventing competitions, Salmon Arm’s Rebecca Howard and her horse Riddle

Master – fondly called Rupert – made their presence well-known.

They placed twelfth at the prestigious Badminton Horse Trials, which wrapped up Monday, May 6 in Gloucestshire, England.

In an interview with Horse

Junkies United immediately following her double-clear round, Howard said the competition had been a roller coaster of emotions for her, beginning with disappointment following the first phase of the three-phase event,

dressage, where she placed 32nd overall and felt Riddle Master could have done better. However, he redeemed himself in the crosscountry, putting in a near flawless performance, which brought them up to 22nd place.

The exciting and grueling cross-country event is said to attract crowds of up to a quarter of a million, the second largest paidentry event in the world.

BC takes gold in nationals Three players from the Shuswap brought home gold medals from the 2013 National Aboriginal Hockey Championships. Darien Head from Salmon Arm and Devon Pearson and Austin Willier from Chase helped Team BC make history, winning the province’s first national title in the event’s 12-year history. Hosted in Kahnawake, Que., April 29 to May 4, Team BC defeated Team Ontario by a score of 4-3 in the gold-medal game on Saturday evening.

“We are so proud to bring the gold medal home to B.C.,” said Head Coach Joe Quewezance. “It was a great week in Kahnawake. The coaching staff couldn’t be more

proud of the players and everyone involved with Team BC. The hard work and dedication was unprecedented and the team dynamics were incredible...”

Heading into the tournament seeded fifth in the male division, Team BC gradually climbed the rankings through the week and landed themselves in the semi-finals against Team Manitoba.

After winning 4-3 in overtime, Team BC advanced into its first ever appearance in the NAHC’s gold-medal game against Team Ontario. With just one minute left in the game, Team Ontario pulled their goaltender, which made for an exciting finish with Team

Riddle Master makes up for shaky start Continued from pg. 21 Following the crosscountry event came the third and final phase of the competition, the stadium jumping.

Once again Riddle Master and Howard shone, putting in two

beautiful clear rounds over the demanding course. That brought them up to 12th place in the official results, although Howard reports on Facebook that she was presented with the 11th-place silver horse trophy.

Comments on her Rebecca Howard Equestrian site are full of congratulations on her fine performance at her Badminton debut.

As one fan wrote: “Congratulations! That is the most amazing achievement! Good for

you! I am so excited that you got one of the those Silver Horses!

Not many people get those! Well done!”

Howard moved to England following the Summer Olympics in London. She is now riding, coaching and train-

ing out of Marlborough, Wiltshire.

Although she could not be reached by the Observer following the event, she told a reporter in England that she’s not sure what her next steps will be now that Badminton is over.

The Salmon Arm Setters Women’s Masters Soccer Team started off their season on Tuesday, April 30 versus Vernon’s Goplen Drillers with a 2-1 win.

In the first half, the Drillers scored the first goal with a direct penalty kick outside of the 18-yard box. Then later in the first half, Setters was able to tie it up with a goal from Helle Watson.

In the second half, Setters dominated with several missed chances. Finally a perfect opportunity developed from a lovely cross ball from Jennifer Findlay on the left wing to Carol Rogers. She was able to bring the cross under control and finish it, leaving Setters with the victory.

Blow out in Shuswap heat The U18 boys got their first wave of Shuswap heat on Sunday against a watered-down Penticton squad who arrived with just enough players to field a team.

Shuswap’s impatient attack almost worked but Penticton showed their skill, despite their age and numbers, and did enough to keep the score 0-0 at half.

Shuswap got back to their game plan in the second half and wore down Penticton with greater possession and attacking runs down both wings.

The floodgates opened in the 55th minute and, with no subs, Penticton collapsed.

The thirst for goals wasn’t quenched until the final, merciful whistle, with Shuswap winning 6-0.

Jewels jostle with South Kam The Jewels rucked and rolled their way through South Kam on May 1 to end league play this season.

South Kam was physically bigger, but no match for skills and abilities the Jewels brought to the field.

South Kam just managed to score first through sheer domination and strength, but the Jewels retaliated with 10 tries. Superb ball movement through the backs all the way to the wing created great yardage down the field.

Trice Tuati read the South Kam players like an open book, picking off a pass at the 40yard line and running the ball in after deeking their fullback – that was one of three tries scored

by Tuati.

Brooke Miller gave great support to her winger, Olivia Plummer and received a great pass on the inside to sprint down the sideline to score, making that two for Miller.

From the top of the lineout, Sam Bergman tipped it back to scrumhalf Ebony Derksen, and looped in support to score, breaking two tackles to get over the try line. Marin Faulkner with two, lead the backline to loop and support her teammates, creating a great advan-

tage for her team. Beth Lucier, of great force and stature, along with Plummer, both played very well and earned the MVP status for the team. Co-coach Donelle Gillis made some great pointers at half time to help execute the plays flawlessly.

Great rucking by the forwards of Hannah Froud and Marissa Latosky gave the Jewels lots of ball possession, enabling the team to put so many points on the board. Final score was 53-5 for the Jewels as they head into playoffs this Wednesday, May 8 at Norkam.

Sportsmanship Under the Little Mountain lights, a warm, sunny evening with an excellent spread of food for the pre-game potluck, the social atmosphere was abuzz with summer weather and rugby.

Both the Senior and Jr. teams had a potluck with the opposition prior to the game, as that is what rugby is all about. The Jr. team had a great start, pinning the South Kam players in their end for most of the first half, yet still found it challenging to get the ball over the white try line. Jordan Hislop made a huge run, going

60 yards and busting through three tackles to just get hauled down on the five-yard line.

Clayton Leduc made an excellent pass to Kevin Alexander on the wing who was also stopped on the five-yard line.

Brayden McCarthy stormed up the sideline to gain great yards and be supported by Chad Baker, who came close to the try line. Great effort was never given up but a few errors in the SAS Jr. end of the field caused turnovers for the South Kam team to score. Final was 28-0.

Fan support SAS and South Kam Sr.’s were well fed and primed for the game.

A few SAS rookies decided to show up because of all the fans and

bright lights of the Field of Dreams. A great number of fans cheered the Golds on to achieve a playoff berth.

Running down the wing, Ivor Kuzmick made a beautiful pop pass to Josh Szoke, who made it look easy to score a try.

Kuzmick again off loading to Wilson Hlina, who deeked out a few South Kam players to only get tackled just shy of the try line.

Bryce Hicks, just coming off an injury, played a great game on the wing.

At fullback, Jordan DeWinter made some great yardage on returning the kicks from South Kam. Will Walton had a brilliant game, playing prop and wing for SAS, scoring one try and making one out of two conversions.

SAS advances to the first round of the playoffs Tuesday, May 7 in Rutland, so fans will have to wait and see what happens.

Martial arts students bring home tournament hardware On Saturday, April 27, Provincial Martial Arts students from Sicamous and Salmon Arm travelled to Kelowna to compete in the Tae Kwon Do International Open Canadian Championships.

The tournament hosted 180 competitors from across Canada, the United States and England.

Everyone who participated competed in sparring and forms divisions.

Danette Rampton and her eight-yearold son Houston from Salmon Arm both brought home gold medals in their forms divisions. This was a huge accomplishment for Danette, as this was her first martial arts competition. She also placed silver in sparring. This mother/son team will be travelling to Calgary for another tournament this weekend.

Gabriel Walsh from Salmon Arm came in fourth place in sparring and fifth place in forms, going up against 14 kids in his division.

An-Mei Andreassen, 15, from Salmon Arm took gold in sparring in the girls 15- to 17-year-old division.

Mettle earns medals: Danette and son Houston Rampton show off the gold medals they recently earned in Kelowna.

This was the first time Andreassen had competed in this type of tournament.

In the black belt Women’s division, 14-year-old Lindsey Christian-Hack pulled off a silver medal in sparring. Not only was this Christian-Hack’s first martial arts competition, she competed in the women’s division and held her own

sparring against a twotime Canadian champion with world competition experience. With a bit more hard work and competition experience, Christian-Hack is going to be force to be reckoned with!

Matt Veerman of Salmon Arm competed in the men’s blue-black stripe division, placing third in forms. Veerman is travelling to

Calgary this weekend to compete in the Calgary Open Martial Arts Tournament.

Ben Eddy, 11, of Salmon Arm came in second place in his forms division. He competed against boys up to the age of 13, and managed to hold his own in the sparring division as well.

Another mother/ son team, Cynthia and Nicolas Michaud of Sicamous, also participated in the competition. Cynthia brought home a well-deserved bronze medal in her sparring division.

Nicolas did not place this time, but says he is eager to compete again.

All of these students, along with the others who train with the Provincial Martial Arts in the Shuswap, are now training for the local tournament that is being hosted in Salmon Arm this June.

“I couldn’t be more proud of my students,” says coach Holly Raczynski. “They all stepped out of their comfort zones and challenged themselves against other martial

p e e t dal p ower a Celebr

By Jessica Klymchuk OBSERVER STAFF

T

ime to ride! May is Shuswap Bicycle Month and the Downtown Salmon Arm has outlined riding events to keep everyone pedaling.

A month of bike riding calls attention to reducing air pollution and staying healthy.

May 12 is this year’s 12th annual Salty Dog 6-Hour Enduro mountain race hosted by Skookum Cycle & Ski and is expected to attract 750 riders from throughout B.C., Alberta, and Northwestern U.S.. Since the first race in 2001, the Salty Dog has grown to be the second largest one-day mountain bike event in B.C. “(The bikers) really like our community,” said Tom Peasgood from Skookum Cycle & Ski. “They really like the family atmosphere of our community.”

Coinciding with race package

pick-up for competitors, the Taste of Downtown Street Fair will take place on Saturday, May 11.

There will be information booths including Shuswap Tourism, the Shuswap Bike Club and the Shuswap Trail Alliance.

“The Taste of Downtown was seen as an opportunity to start engaging some of these visitors and showing off our downtown,” said Roger Parenteau, of Downtown Salmon Arm. “We’ve got shops, we’ve got some really cool boutiques, and we have an awesome downtown.”

Events throughout the day will include bike yoga with Dakshina Yoga at 10 a.m. on Hudson Street. The Candy Vault kids ride throughout downtown will start at 11:30 a.m., in addition to an obstacle course.

“People can join in and race each other and just generally be silly,” Parenteau said.

At 1:15 p.m., The Shuswap Pie

Company is having a pie-eating contest. From 12:45 to 3:30 p.m. there will be live music in front of the art gallery and at 6 p.m. there will be live music back at The Shuswap Pie Company.

We’ve got shops, we’ve got some really cool boutiques, and we have an awesome downtown.

Roger Parenteau DOWNTOWN SALMON ARM

The newly formed Shuswap Bike Club will be involved throughout the week. They are hosting a movie fundraiser at the Salmar Grand at 4 p.m. on May 11 as a part of the Taste of Downtown.

On May 24, the Shuswap Bike

Club has also joined in hosting the Twilight Family Fun Ride from 6:30 to 7:30 p.m.

The core of the downtown will be blocked off as business set up bicyclethemed skill stations and participants have the opportunity to win tickets that will enter them into prize draws.

May 26 to June 1 is bike to work week across B.C. and is a challenge to avid riders and new cyclists alike to pedal instead of drive.

Skookum Cycle & Ski hosts a selection of weekly group rides all month and Ridetech will be doing the Shuswap Bike Tour on May 25.

tage attraction. Take a guided tour through Haney House, a 103-year-old farm house restored to a more genteel time.

Explore the Heritage Village of relocated and replicated buildings. View the Queest Mountain Forestry Tower, Broadview School, Mt Ida Church, Salmon Arm’s first filling station, Fire Hall, Newnes Blacksmith Shop, Lester and Thomson Garage, and more. Not to be missed is Sam Beemish’s “Home Studio” with the largest public collection of cylinders and records in Western Canada.

This season the Museum has a new exhibit in the newly renovated gallery. In 2013 the fire that swept Mt. Ida is but a 15-year-old memory. But back then, when the army moved in and the people left, Salmon Arm became a ghost town.

Working in partnership with the Salmon Arm Observer, the Salmon Arm Museum’s exhibit chronicles the catastroph-

ic event. The 1998 images by award-winning photographer James Murray have been reshot.

The community has survived and it is time to celebrate.

Take a walk on our 2.34 km nature walking trails. The easy stroll takes you through four climatic zones. With our field guide in hand, identify the plants used by the First Nations and pioneer families for food and medicine. If you like treasure hunting and have a GPS unit, try looking for hidden geocaches; it’s a great way to find new areas to explore.

Dinner theatre begins July 3 with shows during July and August, with a special matinee on Thursday, August 22.

A Splendid Adventure

The Shuswap Garden Club will be holding their annual spring plant sale May 11.

Garden club members donate many tried-andtrue perennials, shrubs, fruit and berry plants and an assortment of annuals or herbs. The sale will take place at the Scout Hall, 2460 Auto Road S.E. (the old Kin Hall & playgrounds). The sale will be held indoors, so rain or shine, this event is a hit for gardeners who wish to purchase plants that have been started at a reasonable price.

During the summer, garden tours throughout the area are enjoyed every Thursday evening.

Membership in the garden club is a very reasonable fee and this entitles members to receive discounts at local garden shops as well as the activities during the year. These include speakers or demonstrations at each meeting, social time or barbeques.

Information on the garden club can be reached by phoning Larry at 250-832-6342 or Kathy at 250-832-2028.

Railway club earns Best in Show honours The Salmon Arm Model Railway Association recently received awards for Best in Show and Runner-up for Scale Railways at a model train show.

More than 40 railway clubs and hobby shops from Western Canada and Northwest U.S. had displays at the Calgary Soccer Center.

Scale-model railways of various kinds entertained children and adults of all ages.

Approximately 13,700 visitors attended the two-day event, which provided the local club with tremendous exposure for their work.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Domestic matters will ponder on your mind. After this week, you will have a different definition of a family unit. Whatever you experience during this time, will give you certain answers and clear certain dilemmas. Relocation elsewhere may be possible as well.

LUCY FELL 1923 - 2013 Lucy was born in Leigh Lanchire, England, the only child of Stuart and Ethel Barton. They immigrated to Nordegg, AB when Lucy was four. It was in Nordegg that she met the love of her life, Bud Fell. They married in 1941 and went on to have six children together.

Bud and Lucy moved to BC in 1951, living in different towns throughout the Okanagan. She was a lifetime member of the Royal Canadian Legion Ladies Auxiliary. Lucy enjoyed her volunteer time at the Thrift Store in Okanagan Falls and her bingo games in Kamloops with Paulette and her many friends. Curling was her sport, and she skipped many winning teams. Lucy was a charter member of the Kelowna Curling Club.

But, what “Mom” will be remembered for the most, was all the love she gave her family. Mom always put her family first and was always there for them. We will all miss her many hugs & kisses!

Lucy was predeceased by her husband, Bud, in 2011 and her grandson John. She will be loved & missed by her children, Rick (Liz) Fell of Penticton, Cindy (Nelson) Stewart of Kamloops, Barb (Hugh) Hooker of Salmon Arm, Shane Fell of Calgary, Sherry (Gord) Kaultenhauser of Kelowna and Penny Gobin of Medicine Hat, AB.

MARIE ROSE-ANNA GABRIELLE SPICER July 22, 1919 - April 30, 2013 When Gay and Dan Spicer moved to Salmon Arm in 1979, they thought they had died and gone to Paradise. Now, Gay truly is in Paradise. She left us on April 30th to join her beloved Dan, her eldest daughter, Sandra and her six brothers and sisters in Heaven.

Gay’s family - her seven children, 10 grandchildren and 12 great grandchildren — as well as her many friends will miss her.

Think of Gay in Heaven exchanging jokes with St. Peter at the Pearly Gates, and share a story and a smile with a friend.

A celebration of Stevie’s life will also be held this summer at Mara Lake, Sicamous, B.C. Details to follow.

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

Marjorie married Joseph Andre Lamarche (predeceased November 10, 2001) on December 29, 1947 in Victoria, BC. Shortly there after they moved to Port Alberni, B.C. to find work and start a family. Their first six children were born in Port Alberni, B.C. before moving to Castlegar, BC in 1960, where the last child was born. Marjorie lived at Castlewood Village for the last six years, where she greatly enjoyed the companionship and comradery of many friends and enjoyed many of their activities. These were very happy years for her. Marjorie will be missed by her Castlewood Family, and we, her family, would like to express a heartfelt thank you to all who supported and enriched her life while living there.

Marjorie Agnes (Wilcox) Lamarche

Marjorie was raised in the Louis/Heffley Creek Valley, (near the Sun Peaks Ski Area north of Kamloops, BC) from 1931 to 1944. Her formal education ceased in Grade 5 with the closure of the rural school. Her education continued by correspondence, interrupted by the rigors of farm life, dominated by sheep herding. Mom had an deep affinity with animals, especially dogs and horses, who she considered her best friends while growing up in rural isolation. When Mom was 17 years old, her mother accompanied her to Victoria B.C. to attended High School from 1944 to 1947. Mom considered education a privilege and honour; she was a life long learner and self educated, often termed ‘professor’ by her close friends. She loved history and kept herself abreast of world events. Marjorie loved gardening, cooking, sewing, knitting and spent many hours playing cards with family and friends. As a devote Catholic, Mom’s faith was very important to her and she was a perpetual student of the Bible.

St. Rita’s Roman Catholic Parish community was focal in her life and she was a life member of the Catholic Women’s League. She greatly appreciated those who brought her communion on Sundays when she was no longer able to attend Mass.

Famous Quotes for Mother’s Day Mother’s Day is celebrated on various days in many parts of the world. Many countries and cultures choose to celebrate Mother’s Day in March, April or May. Though the Mother’s Day many people know today dates back a little more

than a century, historians note that ancient Romans kept a festival to Cybele, a great mother of the Gods.

In addition, Europe has several traditions aimed at honoring mothers that date back quite a while.

One of the traditions

Mother’s Day May 12

associated with the current Mother’s Day is to give Mom a gift.

Some people only give their own mothers and wives gifts, while others extend their generosity to sisters with children, mothers-inlaw and even grandmothers. Chances are, over the years Mom’s gifts have run the gamut, from a homemade treasure kids made in elementary school to jewelry from hubby to breakfast in bed. For those who

want to add a literary tilt to their Mother’s Day gift this year, consider including any of the following motherly quotes when preparing a gift Mom won’t soon forget. * “Of all the rights of women, the greatest is to be a mother.” - Lin Yutang, Chinese writer * “I remember my mother’s prayers and they have always followed me. They have clung to me all my life.” - Abraham Lincoln, 16th President

of the United States of America * “Youth fades; love droops; the leaves of friendship fall; A mother’s secret hope outlives them all.” - Oliver Wendell Holmes, American author * “A man loves his sweetheart the most, his wife the best, but his mother the longest.” - Irish proverb * “All women become like their mothers. That is their

tragedy. No man does.

That’s his.” - Oscar Wilde, Irish poet * “If I was damned of body and soul, I know whose prayers would make me whole, Mother o’ mine, O mother o’ mine.” Rudyard Kipling, in his poem “Mother O’ Mine” * “The heart of a mother is a deep abyss at the bottom of which you will always find forgiveness.” - Honore de Balzac, French playwright

Mom may appreciate chocolate or flowers. But for children who want to offer her something a little more special -- especially for their ecoconscious moms -- there are a number of different gift options to make Mom’s big day as eco-friendly as it is enjoyable.

An eco-friendly gift for Mom is a gift that keeps on giving. When you jot down your gift idea list, think about adding these “green” gifts. * Make a basket of gardening gear. Garden plants and supplies are perhaps the greenest gifts to give Mom. Plants are so plentiful and varied that there are bound to be ideal flowers or greenery for every mother’s tastes. Compile different gardening essentials, such as seeds or seedlings, organic soil mix, mulch, all-natural compost, and a few different planting containers. You can also include gardening gloves and ergonomic tools made of recycled materials. Finish the gift with the inclusion of a book that describes different garden designs and gives tips for beginners. * Dine at a local restaurant. Many families take Mom out for a meal on her special day. To make the experience eco-friendly, select among restaurants that are close to home in the area. Explore the possibilities of restaurants that may serve foods made with local, organic ingredients.

If you cannot find such a restaurant, do not worry, just choose a local establishment to conserve fuel. * Pay for a car tune-up. Improving the gas mileage on Mom’s car is one gift that can be environmentally friendly. According to the United States Department of Energy, keeping a car in shape can help save money and improve fuel economy. Fixing a serious maintenance problem, such as a faulty oxygen sensor, can improve Mom’s gas mileage by as much as 40 percent. Also, be sure to have her car tires properly inflated. She can be losing gas mileage by 0.3 percent for every 1 psi drop in all four tires. Getting an oil change with the recommended grade of motor oil is another gas mileage improvement measure. * Purchase eco-friendly kitchen items. It may be a major faux pas to give Mom an appliance or a new vacuum for Mother’s Day. However, if your mother is an avid cook or baker, she may appreciate some new mixing bowls or utensils made from recycled materials. If Mom is the consummate entertainer, get her new glass tumblers and sipping straws made from recycled glass. They are perfect for serving cocktails and outdoor entertaining.

Celebrating More Than Moms on Mother’s Day

Every spring individuals celebrate their mothers on Mother’s Day. It has evolved from a day to honor mothers to one that recognizes all special women. Therefore, if there is a woman in one’s life who isn’t a biological mother -- but special nonetheless -- Mother’s Day can be a time to tell her how much she is appreciated.

There are many reasons a person may want to honor a woman that is not his or her mother. Perhaps the person’s own mother has passed away or is not prominent in this individual’s life. Maybe there is a grandmother or aunt with whom one is especially close. There may be a teacher or mentor that has touched the life of a person in a special way.

Although Mother’s Day is built around giving thanks to Mom, it’s certainly acceptable to thank women in addition to dear old Mom. Furthermore, one needn’t wait until a specific day in May to honor a notable woman. This can be done all year long with certain gestures and sentiments.

For those who are celebrating all women on Mother’s Day, here are some ways to set the day apart. * Create a handmade card with personalized sentiments that reflect the unique relationship with this special woman. This can mean more than a prepurchased card that may not offer the right words. * Find out her interests and spend a day doing entirely what she wants to do. It doesn’t necessarily have to take place on Mother’s Day. A trip to a museum or a day at the park -- whatever it may be -- can be a nice outing. * Treat her to a special dinner. Ask about favorite foods and create a meal at home. If dining out is a must, choose a day other than Mother’s Day to avoid the crowds and have intimate moments with just the two of you, especially if you are also honoring your own mother on Mother’s Day. * Find something you both enjoy and then go and do that. Maybe you met up due to a hobby or interest. Remember the first day you met and reminisce by heading to that place for a celebration. * Have an extended family fiesta. Host a Mother’s Day party at home and single out all the special women in attendance. Serve cocktails and enjoy the time spent together.

Mother’s Day is a special time of the year to honor not only a person’s mom but also any other notable woman in his or her life. The holiday can be customized any way a person sees fit.

Swap event seeks shoes for charity re-sale What’s lurking in your closet?

She Shoe Swaps will happily accept donations of ladies’ gently used (or new) shoes, boots and bags for a huge one day re-sale.

Donor’s names are put in a draw for a num-

ber of prizes including a night at the movies donated by the Salmar, a gift certificate from A Flower Shop and a gift certificate from Shuswap Bliss.

Donations can be dropped off to RBC, Sears at the Mall at Pic-

cadilly or the offices of Brooke, Jackson, Downs until 4 p.m. Friday, May 10.

The one-day shoe sale will be held at the Mall at Piccadilly in the former kitchen store (across from Sport Chek) on Sat-

urday May 11. Doors open at 9:30 a.m. and close at 4:30 p.m. All proceeds will be divided between two charities: the SAFE Society (Women’s Shelter) and the Shuswap Community Foundation (Rosemarie’s Fund). As the

costs of putting on the event are paid out of the organizers’ pockets, every cent will be given to charity.

The event was started last year in memory of Rosemarie Vennard, a wonderful woman who would always think

about others and how to help out a friend. Vennard died in February, 2012 and her daughter Kathryn wanted to make sure that her “can do” attitude continued to be shared.

A fund was created at the Community Foun-

dation in her memory for good works in and around Salmon Arm. The first-ever She Shoe Swaps was held in June 2012 earned an amazing $1,500.

The organizers are hoping for even bigger and better this year.
