Children’s Festival looking for volunteers

The Canada Day Children’s Festival is a wildly popular family event attended by approximately 5,000 people each year. Held at the Salmon Arm North Fairgrounds, it is the only Canada Day celebration held in Salmon Arm, and it’s free!

Festival organizers are gearing up for the 2016 edition. The core planning committee, consisting of 10 non-paid community members, spend countless hours each year putting this festival together. To pull off the actual event requires another 150 volunteers.

Set-up and take-down occurs June 30th and July 1st. The festival hours run from 10:00 a.m. 3:00 p.m., however, the greatest need is finding energetic people to assist with getting all the gear set-up, and afterwards, putting it all away.

Can you help lighten the load? Set-up on June 30th can be completed in about 4 hours, while take-down on July 1st can be accomplished in 3 hours or less, depending on the amount of volunteers available.

If you have a group of people, can send over a few staff members, or have some spare time and want to help keep the children’s festival healthy and vibrant, please offer your help. Youths are encouraged to volunteer during the event on July 1st (minimum age 13 without an adult).

Can you committ? Please contact Kari Wilkinson or Karen Bubola at volunteer@sachildrensfest.com or Kari at 250.832.8261 or Karen Bubola at 250.832.6192.

MP Arnold voices concern over assisted dying bill Ottawa, ON- On May 4th, Members of the House of Commons faced the first of many votes expected in the coming weeks on Bill C-14, the government’s medical assisted dying bill. Mel Arnold, Member of Parliament for North Okanagan- Shuswap, cited the input received from many constituents and ambiguity in the bill as the reasons why he voted against the progression of the bill which has moved on to Committee Stage where it will be studied and likely amended.

First introduced on April 14th, C-14 is the government’s response to the Supreme Court of Canada’s Carter Decision that compels Parliament to produce laws governing the practice of medical assisted dying.

In speaking to the proposed bill in the House of Commons prior to the vote, Arnold voiced concern over the Liberal government’s use of procedural measures to cut-off the preliminary debate

before it was expected to end.

“An issue of this importance should not be forced through closure, as has been done today,” said Arnold in the House of Commons. “This needs to be fully debated to the fullest extent. I am appalled at the other side for what it has done to us here. We need to fully consider all the implications of what is being presented in the bill.”

MP Arnold voiced his concern over ambiguous language in the bill’s criteria for medical assisted dying eligibility that could be prone to varying interpretations. “Legislation of this gravity must be precise in the conditions and safeguards it sets out leaving no room for ambiguity or misinterpretation,” said Arnold.

C-14 will now be studied by the Standing Committee on Justice before being sent back to the House of Commons with possible amendments which will be debated and voted on again.

Beware fake charities

OTTAWA/CNW - The devastating situation in Fort McMurray and Alberta has resulted in an outpouring of generosity from Canadians across the country, many of whom are opening up their wallets to help support the thousands of residents displaced by this massive wildfire.

While situations like these often bring out the best in people, they unfortunately also bring out the worst in some people. The Competition Bureau is warning Canadians that scammers may be looking to take advantage of your kindness by asking for donations or masking themselves as fake charities in order to profit from this disaster.

In order to ensure your donations go to legitimate charities, keep in mind the following: • Don’t give cash or financial information if you have any doubts about the legitimacy of a website, organization or individual asking for donations.

• Verify if the organization that approached you is registered in the Canada Revenue Agency Charity Listings.

• Don’t click on untrusted links you receive via email or social media. It’s safer to approach an aid organization directly to donate.

About Fort McMurray: The Canadian Red Cross is a trusted organization raising funds for Alberta wildfire evacuees.

Statement by the Prime Minister of Canada: “The Government of Canada will match every dollar donated to the Canadian Red Cross in support of the Fort McMurray relief effort.”

For more related advice, read the Better Business Bureau’s charity tips. Keep up-to-date on the Government of Canada’s response to wildfires in Alberta.

About charity scams: To report a scam, contact the Canadian Antifraud Centre at www.antifraudcentre.ca, or call 1-888-495-8501.

For more information on charity scams, visit the Charity scam section of the Bureau’s The Little Black Book of Scams, View The Little Black Book of Scams’ YouTube video about fake charities, Visit the Fraud Prevention section of the Bureau’s website for more information on fighting fraud.

familychiropractic COURTESY OF HARBOURFRONT FAMILY CHIROPRACTIC

by Dr. Warren Gage

May is Posture Month May is posture month and this year more awareness is needed concerning posture and technology. As a Chiropractor in practice for nearly 20 years I have witnessed an alarming deterioration of posture in children, teenagers and adults. This serious health problem is due to the increased amount of time now spent on hand-held devices, sitting slouched on a sofa while gaming, or sitting at a desk on a computer.

Research now shows that college students are cell-phone addicts spending 8-10 hours per day on their phones. This is leading to reverse curves in the cervical spinal, increased neck pain and loss of mobility. The study also shows that 1 out of 4 adults suffer back pain on a regular basis due to postural stresses. Next time you’re out in public, have a look around and notice people when they are glued to the screen of their mobile devices. Their shoulders tend to be slouched, they sit slumped in their chair and their neck is generally craned forward and down (the total opposite of anatomically correct head posture). Often this posture is unconscious and unfortunately held for hours. In addition, if you think poor posture might only cause you pain in the neck or backside, think again. Sitting for more than 12 hours per day puts you at a greater risk for heart disease, diabetes, and life threatening falls. And finally, if it is only out of vanity that you should be conscious of your posture so be it, because slouched posture makes you look old!

So, here are some simple steps you can take to improve your posture and your health. If you have a cell phone, start to be more conscious of the time you spend on it.

Start by simply putting down the phone and going for a walk. Your network of Facebook friends might also be influenced to literally step away and do something healthier when you aren’t constantly updating your status! If you have a job that requires you to sit, make sure you get up and walk and stretch regularly. This will improve your flexibility and helps circulation.

When you do get out for a walk, make sure your footwear is not excessively worn. When I see very worn heels on on my patient’s shoes I can almost guarantee they are having knee or pelvis troubles.

On average we spend 7 hours of our day sleeping so your posture in bed is also important. First, don’t sleep on your stomach as this places a lot of pressure on the neck and low back. If you prefer to sleep on your side make sure your pillow is the right height to maintain a straight spine. A pillow between your knees also helps reduce strain on the low back and hips. For back-sleepers, a contoured pillow is a great way to ensure the neck is well supported. Too thick of a pillow is not good either as this will accentuate forward head posture.

Exercise is also extremely important for good posture. Yoga, Pilates, going to the gym, or just doing your own home exercise routine is all beneficial and strengthening the core muscles aids in improving posture. It is also known that straightening up and breathing deeper increases energy and confidence and even helps reduce stress.

If any of these tips above seem excessively difficult, you may have spinal issues that are preventing ideal posture. How do you know if you need your posture investigated further by a chiropractor? Check yourself for FHP (Forward Head Posture). Stand comfortably (like you normally would without forcing your shoulders backwards or pushing your chest out) and have someone take a side profile picture of you. If your ear does not line up directly over your shoulder you have FHP and need to be checked by a doctor of chiropractic. With on-site digital x-rays at Harbourfront Family Chiropractic, we can assess your spinal alignment, prepare a treatment plan, and provide postural corrective exercises to help you achieve your posture goals. Then when next May arrives you will be ready for the next “posture month”.

In order to schedule a Chiropractic assessment call Dr. Warren Gage at (250) 803-0224.

Health Canada warning

Health Canada is informing consumers of potential risks related to the combination of methylisothiazolinone and methylchloroisothiazolinone (MI/MCI) used as a preservative in certain leave-on cosmetic, non-prescription and natural health products. Examples of leave-on products include skin moisturizers, massage products, make-up, antiperspirants/deodorants, sunscreen lotions, antiseptic cleansers, topical pain relief, acne creams and diaper rash products.

For some people, use of these substances can lead to symptoms including: a red rash or bumps; itching (which may be severe); swelling, burning, or tenderness of the skin; dry, cracked or scaly skin; and/or blisters (draining fluid and crusting).

These symptoms may occur each time someone uses a product containing MI/MCI and may become more severe with repeated use.

These preservatives are also used in rinse-off products, such as shampoos and shower gels. Based on current information, there are no identified risks with the use of MI/MCI in rinse-off products when concentrations are at or below levels currently permitted in cosmetics.

What you should do: Consumers should check the ingredient list on the product labels of their leave-on cosmetic, non-prescription or natural health products to verify whether the combination of MI/MCI is present. Consumers who experience sensitivities or allergic reactions to products containing MI/MCI should avoid using products that contain this preservative.

What Health Canada is doing On December 14, 2015, Health Canada amended the Cosmetic Ingredient Hotlist entry related to MI/MCI. The Hotlist is a list of ingredients that Health Canada believes may cause injury to the health of the user when used in cosmetics under certain conditions. Such use of an ingredient in cosmetics may be in violation of the Food and Drugs Act. After June 14, 2016, all products intended for use by children under the age of three that contain MI/MCI should no longer be available for purchase. All other leave-on products containing MI/ MCI should no longer be available for purchase after December 31, 2016.

Health Canada will monitor the marketplace for information about health or safety concerns involving products with MI/MCI. The Department will follow up with companies if their products are related to an incident and will take compliance and enforcement actions where appropriate.

Under the Food and Drugs Act (FDA) and its Regulations, manufacturers and importers are required to disclose all ingredients on cosmetic, non-prescription and natural health product labels so consumers can make informed choices.

Report health and safety concerns If you experience an adverse reaction related to a cosmetic, non-prescription or natural health product, report it to Health Canada as well as the establishment where the product or service was purchased.

The jury was unanimous in its selection and noted that, “in the context of this year’s competition, this project was nationally significant and exceeded the current standard of practice by going beyond the conventional approach.”

The committee went on to commend English and her team of partners. “It is admirable that a small local museum would undertake such an ambitious plan for research and education.”

MATERIAL FOR THIS COLUMN CHOOSES ME I often am asked where I find the information for my column. The Globe & Mail on May 7 had a Q&A of author Adam Haslett who just finished a short-story collection called “You Are Not a Stranger Here.”

When asked why he wrote his new book, he said he wrote it because he had to. “It’s often said that you don’t chose your material, it chooses you, and I think that’s entirely true.” That’s where I get my articles.

They find me.

DON’T BE A PRINCE. DON’T BE A MICHAEL JACKSON Drake Smith of Kamloops responded to my emailed column as soon as he read the item about celebrities who die without a will. “It doesn’t matter whether you have $10 million or 10 cents… get your will done!” As the owner of Drake’s Cremation & Funeral Services, he knows the difficulty funeral directors and families have without a will. He has this advice for people who do not have a will: “Don’t be a Prince. Don’t be a Michael. Get a will done for your family... for the people who are going to try to pick up the pieces when you’re gone!”

RUSSIANS OFFERED TO HELP AT FORT McMURRAY Do not let Russians bring fire-fighting equipment.

After Russia took Crimea, it moved into two parts of eastern Ukraine. There has been shooting into Ukraine every day, and it is costing Ukraine $6-million+ every day. On May 9, Global reported that Russia, the U.S., Mexico, Australia, Taiwan, Israel and the Palestinian Authority have all offered help to fight the northern Alberta wildfire, but Prime Minister Justin Trudeau says there’s no need for international assistance.

DEMILLE’S IS GIVING PROFITS AND WAGES FOR THE DAY TO FORT McMURRAY On Wednesday, May 18, all profits from sales at DeMille’s Farm Market, and all employees are volunteering so their wages for the day, will go to the Red Cross for fire victims of Fort McMurray. The staff will offer hot dogs from 11:00 a.m. to to 2:00 p.m. for donations. They were given by suppliers, at no charge, with all money going to Fort McMurray.

Every Wednesday at the store, all seniors get a 10 per cent discount on many items. They will still get their 10 per cent off on May 18th. At the end of the day, Brad DeMille will calculate the store’s profits and wages to donate to rebuilding Fort McMurray which has suffered from a large forest fire, and the next day will give it to the Red Cross. He expects it will be a good event!

I COMPLETED MY CENSUS. DID YOU? Statistics Canada designates a specific census date so that Canadians who move or marry around the time of the census, for example, can fill out their information based on their situation on May 10 and not any other date. The census is meant to act as a ‘snapshot’ of Canada on that day.

On Wednesday morning, May 11, Statistics Canada started paying more attention to the folks who haven’t submitted their questionnaire. Gradually, they will start receiving reminders to get it done — because like it says on the envelope, “it’s the law.”

RCMP CHANGED RULES TO ATTRACT MORE MEMBERS With 800 officers expected to retire this year, the RCMP plans to have 34 troops go through the sixthmonth academy in Regina this year, each with 32 cadets. New RCMP graduates from BC and the prairies can remain in their home province for their first posting.

Applicants do not have to be Canadian citizens, just permanent citizens. Post-secondary graduates will no longer have to write an entrance exam that measures aptitude for police work. University graduates, and college graduates with a minimum two-year college diploma, will skip the entrance exam. The force will no longer require a physical abilities evaluation before people submit an application.

RCMP will lobby government to reverse a wage rollback. Frontline Mounties say better pay would help recruit more officers. Someone who completes cadet training and is hired as an RCMP constable can expect a starting salary of roughly $50,000. For more info, go to www.rcmp-grc.gc.ca/requirements.

Gather in the parking lot next to Enderby City Hall at 11:45 a.m. on Saturday, May 21. Bring signs and banners. Join the peaceful awareness march alongside Hwy 97, from Mill Avenue to Hubert Avenue between 12 noon and 1 p.m. Educational materials available on site.

SILVERBACKS EXPANDS TO TEAM IN U.S. The Salmon Arm Sports Inc. ownership group has secured a Tier 3 Jr A franchise in the Rocky Mountain Junior Hockey League. The team is located in Steamboat Springs, Colorado. At a press conference held in front of a capacity crowd at the Olympian Hall in Steamboat Springs, President/General Manager Troy Mick stated: “With a passionate fan base for high

school hockey, community support, and high-quality facilities, [Steamboat] provides the perfect fit to become a top-quality organization in the RMJHL.” The new team will play out of beautiful Howelsen Arena, an Olympic-sized rink which can accommodate up to 1,000 fans.

With the news, Silverbacks’ assistant coach Misko Antisin resigned from the club and will be the first-ever GM/head coach in Steamboat. “I have mixed emotions right now,” he said. “I am sad that I won’t be back with the Salmon Arm Silverbacks team this coming season. I am going to miss the players, fans and most of all the staff who work so hard everyday to make this proud organization run so smoothly.” The Silverbacks will begin the search for a new assistant coach for this coming season immediately.

Her voice teacher is very proud of her.

Common Law vs Single Part 2

mallarkey

by Daron Mayes A couple of weeks ago I wrote an article on common-law vs single and promised you that there would be a subsequent article explaining the impact each can have on your tax return. If you remember, I also mentioned that this isn’t simply a choice, but rather a matter of fact. Therefore, you don’t have the option despite what many people think.

First of all, in Canada everyone still files their own tax return regardless of marital status. There is a misunderstanding by many that by filing common-law or married you are filing a single joint return which isn’t the case.

However, by filing common-law or married, you are establishing a connection between the two returns. This connection will allow you to take advantage of certain tax benefits like claiming both taxpayers’ donations and/or medical expenses on one of the returns. This connection can also result in certain benefits lost too. So let’s look at this in more detail.

For donations you get a smaller tax credit on the first $200 and a significantly larger tax credit for all other

donations once you’ve reached the $200 threshold. Therefore, by pooling the donations together as a couple (common-law or married), you can reach the $200 amount quicker instead of each person having to reach the $200 marker before being able to take advantage of the larger tax credit.

The same goes for medical expenses.

The amount of medical expenses you can claim as a tax credit is the amount that exceeds 3% of a taxpayer’s net income. Therefore, by again pooling the expenses together you will reach the minimum threshold a lot sooner and get a bigger bang for your buck.

Other benefits are the ability to split qualifying pension income between spouses, transferring of tuition/education credits to a spouse and the ability to transfer any other unused tax credits (unused personal tax credit etc).

What is potentially lost when your status changes from single to common-Law? Well the biggest one is the quarterly GST credit as it is based on “family net income”. The current GST credit payment schedule which contin-

The

ues to June 2016 is based on your income tax filings from 2014. If your combined net income is less than $42,000 from those tax years, then you will qualify for the GST credit.

As you can see, if two taxpayers with 2014 net incomes of say $35,000 each were filing separately as single, they would each receive the GST credit. If they should have been filing as common-law then neither would qualify because their combined net income totalled $70,000.

The Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) works to track these situations down and then requires proof that the individuals were not common-law. If it is determined that the taxpayers were not in fact single, then all or some of the GST credit will have to be paid back along with interest and penalties.

Remember, your marital status in CRA’s view is not a choice, but a matter of fact. It is also something that is often misunderstood and can be quite costly if you’ve been filing incorrectly. So be sure to talk to your tax professional if you are unsure.

Fort McMurray golf challenge During the afternoon of Thursday, May 5th, the Windermere Valley Men’s Club held its weekly competition. Our thoughts were not on golf, but rather on the families displaced by the fires raging in northern Alberta.

At the conclusion of the event, our membership decided to donate the prize money that would normally have gone to the afternoon’s winners to the disaster relief efforts currently being undertaken.

Al Wittke, a longstanding member of our club, also donated $2,000 to the Salvation Army. Al lived in Fort McMurray in the Beacon Hill subdivision. His former res-

Hotdogs with a drink will be available for $2 each. Once again you can also rent a table for $20 to sell your own wares.

All money raised from this event, as well as table rentals, will be used for SPCA initiatives and to improve the quality of life for the animals.

The Dark Horse THE DARK HORSE is based on the true story of Genesis ‘Gen’ Potini (Cliff Curtis), a Maori speed-chess champion seeking redemption and a new purpose in life despite his struggles with bipolar disorder. A former chess prodigy, Gen is brilliant and charismatic, bringing unusual, potent energy to a game most often played with quiet reserve. Upon his release from an institution, he is remanded into the custody of his older brother Ariki (Wayne Hapi), the leader of a rough street gang planning the initiation of Gen’s reluctant teenage nephew Mana (James Rolleston). When Gen volunteers to coach the ragtag young members of the Eastern Knights chess club, Mana is inspired by his uncle’s determination to bring hope to the children of the club and turn his troubled life around, while seeing it as a chance to possibly save his own.

The Dark Horse shows at 5:00 p.m. on Saturday, May 14th at the Salmar Classic Theatre.

Special Olympics Canada and Staples Canada kick off annual fundraising initiative

On May 7, Special Olympics Canada and Staples Canada kicked off the 16th Give a Toonie Share a Dream fundraising and awareness campaign, in support of Special Olympics Canada. From May 7 to 29, Staples Canada stores from coast to coast will be raising funds and awareness to help support more than 40,000 individuals with intellectual disabilities participating in Special Olympics sport programs in over 450 communities throughout Canada. In addition to in-store donations, customers will be able to make an online donation while shopping at www.staples.ca/ shareadream.

Special Olympics BC – Salmon Arm athletes and volunteers will be in their local Staples store to support the campaign from 11:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. on May 14 and May 28.

“Our Give a Toonie Share a Dream campaign is an important part of who

we are,” said Steve Matyas, president of Staples Canada. “Together with our customers, we’re very proud to support this inspiring and important program that helps open up so many new opportunities for athletes across Canada.”

As in years past, the in-store campaign creative features a Special Olympics athlete. This year’s creative features 16-year-old rhythmic gymnastics athlete Kimana Mar from Ottawa, Ontario. This past summer at the 2015 Special Olympics World Summer Games in Los Angeles, California, her first-ever World Games, Kimana won five gold medals. Having already achieved a lifelong dream of hers to make it to a World Games, Kimana is thrilled to be the face of the 2016 Give a Toonie Share a Dream campaign.

“Special Olympics Canada relies on the incredible support of our national partners to ensure athletes across the

country are given the chance to achieve their dreams,” said Sharon Bollenbach, CEO, Special Olympics Canada. “This year’s campaign is an important one, as we celebrate our 20th year of partnership with Staples Canada. Over the past 20 years, Staples Canada has been a driving force in helping us change the lives of Special Olympics athletes across the country, and we continue to be grateful for their determination and commitment in helping our athletes thrive. We are excited to make this year’s Give a Toonie Share a Dream the most successful yet!”

This year’s campaign aims to exceed last year’s fundraising total of $630,000 with the goal to help even more Special Olympics athletes across Canada achieve their full potential through the transformative power of sport.

B.C. schools open to Alberta kids Tom Fletcher Black Press B.C. schools are preparing to take in some of the 12,000 children of school age who have been forced to evacuate Fort McMurray due to wildfire.

Education Minister Mike Bernier said he has been in touch with the Alberta minister to keep track of students who come to B.C., so they can return to some of their normal routines.

“We sent a letter to all of our school districts that when we have students coming from Alberta into B.C., that we’re going to open our arms, make sure that they’re welcomed into the school system and try to help them complete the end of the school year,” Bernier said.

The Fort McMurray fire destroyed homes and businesses as it swept through the town, but schools were spared, as were the hospital and airport.

OTHER… sad to say, for some this word brings no sweet memories to mind. Some of you have never met your mother whether because death intervened or, sadly, maybe you were abandoned. Still, all mankind shares this fact, we all had a mother who brought us into this world. For some this word brings memories of a time when our lives were governed by mom. She had the potential to make our little world cheerful and exciting or, at times, brought our dreams crashing into the ground by that powerful little word "no". Now, as adults, there are times when we would give anything to be back at mom’s knee and let her make the call, yet life moves on. Maybe you find yourself a mom with little ones looking up to you with their trusting eyes. Do these little ones find you to be a kind and loving master of their important world? Let’s take a look into the Bible and see what words of wisdom God would share with us on this matter of motherhood.

Pro 31:10-15 Who can find a virtuous woman? For her price is far above rubies.

The heart of her husband doth safely trust in her, so that he shall have no need of spoil. She will do him good and not evil all the days of her life. She seeketh wool, and flax, and worketh willingly with her hands. She is like the merchants’ ships; she bringeth her food from afar. She riseth also while it is yet night, and giveth meat to her household, and a portion to her maidens.

Pro 31:25-28 Strength and honour are her clothing; and she shall rejoice in time to come. She openeth her mouth with wisdom; and in her tongue is the law of kindness. She looketh well to the ways of her household, and eateth not the bread of idleness. Her children arise up, and call her blessed; her husband also, and he praiseth her.

MOTHERHOOD... what a noble calling for a woman to fulfill with her life! If you are a mother thank God and look to Him for the wisdom and ability to fulfill this awesome calling!

ARTS & ENTERTAINMENT Artisans Wanted

Josie Weightman struts her stuff at the Just for Kicks Solos and Duets show last weekend - photo by JoAnna

Once again, the call is out for artisans and crafters wishing to participate in the annual Arts Festival presented by the Enderby and District Arts Council. This year’s festival, the seventh, takes place on July 23, according to Neil Fidler, Artisan Market Coordinator.

“We urge local artisans not to miss out on this opportunity, as each year the festival attracts more interest” said Fidler. He went on to say that the outdoor market will take place on the newly renovated Cliff Avenue and on Belvedere Street. There is space for about 50 vendors and is expected to fill.

In the centre of everything is the Grant Russell Stage with all day music and activities. Headline acts include Happy Hungry Hippies, Shaughnessy Rose, Hawaiian

Dancers, Marv Machura, and The Keys. There is a food court on Cliff Ave and the Lions Pancake Breakfast on Belvedere St followed by a hamburger BBQ put on by the Enderby Legion.

New this year is a special quilting display by the Enderby Cliff Quilters at the Arts Council Centre, 617 Cliff Ave. In addition, the work of a group of talented local artists will be on display at the Courtyard Gallery on Belvedere Street.

Face painting, games, miniature goats, and special guest Kiki the Eco Elf will highlight the Family Fun Zone in Belvidere Park.

To register as a vendor call: 838-0577 or email artisanmarket2016@shaw.ca.

Festival Finale…Share the Music

By Sue Wolff Shuswap Music Festival Society The Shuswap Music Festival concluded Friday, April 30 with a Gala Concert at the First United Church. Performers, selected by the Festival adjudicators, entertained a captive audience.

“Keep playing and keep sharing your music” was a recurring theme throughout the two-week Festival.

In addition to celebrating the talent of amateur Shuswap musicians, the evening was an opportunity to acknowledge the hard work of our youth with the presentation of well-earned awards and scholarships worth a total of $4,795.

Earlier in the Festival, Band adjudicator Peter Stigings applauded music teacher Brian PrattJohnson for his outstanding work with the Jackson School Concert Band. Stigings encouraged the students. “Take music each year in high school,” he advocated, “and keep on playing and sharing your music long after high school graduation and into your adult lives.” His words were echoed by many others during the Festival. “You are very fortunate,” added Stigings, “that your school district continues to fund a music program.”

Some “graduates” of the Festival continue to follow a music path. This year the Blair Borden Memorial Scholarship, for pursuit of a career in music, was awarded to three contestants: Jenae VanGameren (voice), Emily Wark and Andrew Stoney (piano). Reid Fowler presented The Mary Fowler Memorial Scholarship for ‘Excellence in Vocal Performance’ to Paige Tower.

A very talented 13-year-old musician, Holly McCallum, took the Gala audience by surprise.

Holly plays cello and piano and won “Outstanding Senior” for both instruments! She entertained the crowd playing Chopin’s Nocturne in C Sharp Minor on cello; a piano solo; a piano duet with Jessica Neudorf; and joined three other pianists dressed in the finest Mozart costumes for the finale performance ‘two pianos~8 hands’. Holly received six awards at the Gala: two in Strings and four in Piano.

The Rotary Clubs’ “Best of the Festival” awards in each category went to the following: Paige Tower for Voice presented by Warne Lynd, President of Salmon Arm Rotary Club; Libby Wyse for Strings presented by Fred Goodman, Director of Shuswap Rotary Club; and Andrew Stoney for Piano presented

by Peter Du Toit, Director of Rotary Club of Salmon Arm, Daybreak.

Dr. Melany Dyer, of the Shuswap Community Foundation, announced the eight candidates recommended to advance to the Performing Arts BC Provincial Festival. They are: Stephen Moore (Junior A Piano); Grace Neudorf (Intermediate Piano); Andrew Stoney (Senior Piano); Anna Konrad (Junior A Strings); Georgia Nitchie (Jr. Classical Voice); Paige Tower (Intermediate Classical Voice); Jenae VanGameren (Senior Classical Voice - pictured at right); Destinee Trentalance (Jr. Musical Theatre). In addition, four other Shuswap Festival contestants, who were recommended at other festivals to attend the 2016 Provincial Festival, include: Aria Izik-Dzurko (Piano); Libby Wyse (Strings); Jessica

Neudorf (Piano); and Holly McCallum (Strings and Piano). This is an outstanding contingent to represent the Shuswap at the Provincial Festival in late May. The Festival adjudicators this year were Peter Stigings, Band; Jane Hayes, Senior Piano; Yvette Rowledge, Jr. Piano; Don James, Vocal and Choir; and Joel Stobbe, Strings. They chose the recipients for all awards and scholarships. A full list of all music awards and scholarships is available on the Festival website at www.shuswapfestival.com.

The Festival and these awards are only possible through the generous donations and support of the community. Volunteers make it all happen. At the Gala, the Directors of the Shuswap Music Festival Society were pleased to honour past President and founding member, Jeff den Biesen, for his dedicated service and more than a decade of commitment to the Festival as President. He helped to build a legacy for the community. The Society thanks all the Rotarians and community members for their many volunteer hours; the generosity of

Photo contributed by Sue Wolff the sponsors and donors; and a special thank you to Rod Charlebois, the Master of Ceremony for the Gala Concert.

Thank you and congratulations to all the musicians and vocalists, young and old, who participated in the Festival.

Celebrating Revelstoke history Revelstoke Revisited – B.C. Historical Federation Conference If you have an interest in the history of British Columbia, then Revelstoke will be the place to be from May 26 to 28.

Revelstoke Museum & Archives is hosting “Revelstoke Revisited,” the annual conference of the British Columbia Historical Federation and has planned an agenda that is sure to satisfy the craving for knowledge of history enthusiasts from throughout the province.

Everyone can participate in Revelstoke Revisited; you do not have to be a member of a historical association to attend.

Revelstoke Museum and Archives is hosting the opening reception on Thursday evening and participants will see the stunning recent exhibits, including Land of Thundering Snow, First Tracks, and Sinixt – People of the Bull Trout. Vocalist Jacolyn Daniluck and pianist Lyda Carey will take you back to the age of the crooners, and Gray Monk Winery will provide a taste of the Okanagan.

The keynote address of the conference will be delivered at Revelstoke’s beautiful Performing Arts Centre on the morning of May 27. Noted B.C. scientist Dr. John Woods will present the stories that he

uncovered as head researcher and writer for Land of Thundering Snow, a website on the Virtual Museum of Canada that was created by Revelstoke Museum and Archives and partners. The fascinating subject of avalanches and snow science in Canada will be presented by Dr. Woods with illustrations and examples from the website.

Viewers will never underestimate the power of an avalanche after seeing this presentation. Land of Thundering Snow is a recent recipient of the 2016 Award of Outstanding Achievement from the Canadian Museums Association.

Cathy English, curator of Revelstoke Museum and Archives, will present a lively talk on “The Romance of the Big Bend,” weaving tales of tragedy, triumph, and encounters with the wild in the mineral-rich area north of Revelstoke. Ms. English will also introduce participants to Revelstoke’s incredible ski history.

Conference delegates will have the opportunity to see Revelstoke’s history up close and personal with a choice of four tours on the afternoon of May 27. Tour options include a bus tour to Rogers Pass National Historic site in Glacier National Park; a bus tour to Revelstoke Dam, B.C. Interior Forestry Museum, and Revelstoke

Community Calendar Meetings and events that are free of charge will be listed at no charge in the Community Calendar the first Friday of every month. The calendar will run other weeks if space available. Dances, bingos, and other paid/for-profit events are required to pay the normal classified rate.

Community garage sales, bazaars and craft sales are run for one week at no charge in the classified section; additional weeks are charged the normal classified rate.

Send your event info to editorial@lakeshorenews.bc.ca, bring it to the office at 161 Hudson Ave NE, or phone it in at 832-9461.

Visual Arts Centre; a walking tour of the Revelstoke River Trail; and a walking tour of Revelstoke’s historic downtown. On Saturday afternoon, May 28, all of the delegates will have the opportunity to visit the historic Nels Nelsen ski area on Mount Revelstoke and put themselves in the shoes, or should we say, skis, of the world-class ski jumpers who once sought fame on the hill.

The B.C. Historical Federation will be dedicating their stunning monument to noted B.C. explorer and surveyor Walter Moberly at Revelstoke Railway Museum on the evening of May 27, followed by a reception featuring beer from Mt. Begbie Brewing Company and rollicking Revelstoke entertainment from local actors.

The conference weekend will culminate in a sumptuous banquet at Revelation Lodge at Revelstoke Mountain Resort.

With stunning views of the Columbia Valley stretched out below, delegates will enjoy the jazz stylings of Bob Rogers Trio and celebrate the winners of the B.C. Historical Writing Awards, to be presented

by Lieutenant-Governor Judith Guichon.

Throughout the conference, a book fair will be set up at Regent Inn, where history enthusiasts can browse titles on B.C. histo-

ry and in some cases, chat with the authors.

A pre-conference workshop, “Getting Ready for the new Societies Act,” will be held on Thursday, May 26 at 3:00 pm at the Revelstoke Seniors Centre. The Societies Act is new legislation that was passed in spring 2015 and will come into effect on November 28, 2016. It governs how societies (not-for-profit corporations) are created and run in B.C. and includes significant updates to allow for more flexibility in how societies operate, while still protecting the public interest. Join Debbie Turner, Deputy Registrar at Registries and Online Services, as she presents information on the new Societies Act and what societies will need to do to get ready for the new Act. Debbie is joined by Jill Sinkwich, a Director at the Ministry of Finance, who helped develop the legislation. This free presentation will be of interest to anyone involved in a registered B.C. Society.

Visit www.bchistory.ca for more information and to register for all or part of the conference. Registration is open until May 19. To contact the organizing committee, email Cathy English at curator@revelstokemuseum.ca or call 250-837-3067.

Salmon Arm Tennis Club The Salmon Arm Tennis Club would like to invite the community to the club’s annual OPEN HOUSE which will take place on Saturday, May 14, 10:00 am – 3:00 pm.

“Peggy” Lauretta Margaret Smith Goertzen

In Loving Memory

“Peggy” Lauretta Margaret Smith Goertzen passed away at Hillside Village, May 2, 2016 at 95 years.

She was born in Winnipeg, Manitoba, April 22, 1921, to Fredric Charles Bell and Lauretta Ross Bell, and married in 1942. In 1947 she moved to Vancouver, then: Surrey, New Westminster & Langley. In 1958 she moved to Grandview Flats, (Armstrong) for 10 years, where she and her 4 children were involved in agriculture for local farmers.

In 1969, she and her 2 youngest daughters moved to La Sierra University in Riverside, California, where she earned a degree in “Institutional Cooking – Vegetarian”. She then cooked at a boarding Academy in Escondido, California and later in Los Angeles, at the White Memorial Hospital.

She returned to Victoria, Canada in 1975 to live with her aging mother, and cooked in a nursing home. She later became a Care Aide and worked in Rest Haven Lodge Nursing Home until retirement in 1986. She loved both jobs.

At that time she moved near to family in Silver Creek (Salmon Arm), and shortly after, married her long-time widowed friend: John Goertzen. She had been a hard working single mother for 31 years.

They enjoyed 13 years together, and were gracious hosts to many friends, relatives and neighbours in Silver Creek and later in Macintosh Grove, Salmon Arm. That condo was the first time either Peggy or John had lived in a brand new home, and they loved it.

Sadly, John died in 2000.

Later, Peggy developed Vascular Dementia and went into care in 2005 at Mt. View Manor and Harmony Haven, transferring to Good Samaritan Hillside Village in 2008. She was blessed by the excellent care she received in all of them. They did for her what her family could not do! Thank You! In 1956, Peggy became a devout Seventh-day Adventist Christian. Her Bible became her comfort and guide and she took God as her husband (Isaiah 54:5). She is now sleeping in her grave until Jesus comes.

Peggy was the last of her siblings to pass away. (She was the first born) and was predeceased by: her parents; Fred and Lauretta Bell, brothers; Lloyd, David and Earl, son; Tommy in 1949; her husband, John Goertzen in 2000, daughter; Carrie Jewell in 2013 and son; Ross Smith in 2013.

She is survived by: daughters; Edna (Robert) Crombie of Silver Creek, Peggy (Ralph) McBryan of Tappen, daughter-in-law; Iris Smith of Princeton, 6 grandchildren, 9 great grandchildren, and John’s special family.

Memorial Service for Peggy will be Friday, June 10, 2016 at 3:30 p.m. in Silver Creek Seventh Day Adventists Church, a reception to follow.

On line condolences may be sent to Peggy’s obituary at www.bowersfuneralservice.com

Joe Kupkee, age 73, passed away peacefully at his home in West Kelowna, BC on April 11, 2016, lovingly surrounded by his wife and two daughters.

Joe was born in 1942 in Ottawa, Ontario. Because his father was a member of the RCMP, Joe lived in many places throughout his childhood before finishing his high school years in Maple Ridge and Salmon Arm, BC. After completing his teaching degree at the University of British Columbia, Joe spent the next 38 years as a high school teacher. He taught a variety of subjects but was most passionate about teaching English, History, and Media/Film Studies. Another passion of his was coaching. He coached both boys and girls basketball in the BC school system for 18 years and had back-to-back undefeated seasons with the Salmon Arm Jewels in 1977 and 1978. Because of this exceptional record and his overall dedication, Joe was inducted into the British Columbia Basketball Hall of Fame as a coach in 2008.

Joe was extremely proud of his work as a teacher and as a coach, influencing and maintaining friendships with many players and students over the years. Some special highlights being provided by the ladies of the notorious TP Squad!

As an avid reader, sports fanatic, and historian, Joe wove these three passions into his ongoing love of travel and adventure. He travelled to many countries over the years and managed to make it to 49 of the 50 US States (just short of his 50/50 goal!).

A loving Granddad, Joe had recently moved back to the Okanagan, after 32 years on Vancouver Island, in order to enjoy more time with his three precious grandchildren. This included many hockey and soccer games as well as many dance recitals.

Joe was also enjoying the local wineries and taking in the many opportunities to attend concerts and sports in the Okanagan area.

Joe is survived by his wife of 25 years Barb Kupkee, daughters Tanya Harrington and Tracy Lamerton, sons-in-law Chris Harrington and Marc Lamerton, and grandchildren Benjamin Harrington and Ava and Alexander Lamerton. He is pre-deceased by his parents Allen and Gertrude Kupkee and his grandmother Laina Aho (with whom Joe had a special bond).

The family would like to extend a huge, heartfelt thank you to all the friends and family who have offered their love, support, and special memories of Joe via email and phone calls.

A Celebration of Life will be held at the Prestige Inn (251 Harbour Front Dr NE) Salmon Arm, BC on May 28, 2016 from 2:00 to 4:00 pm.

If so desired, donations in Joe’s memory can be made to a KidSport affiliation in a community of your choice: www.kidsportcanada.ca or KidSport Salmon Arm, 451 Shuswap St SW, Salmon Arm, BC, V6G 1Z4.

Online condolences may be sent through Joe’s obituary at www.bowersfuneralservice.com

KIRK, FLOYD WILLIAM 1937 - 2016

It is with great sadness that we announce the peaceful passing of Floyd William Kirk on May 8, 2016 at the age of 78. Floyd was born in rural, eastern Saskatchewan on September 24, 1937. Floyd married Margaret Burrows in Adelaide, Australia in 1969.

Floyd was the eldest of three boys. Raised on the farm, turkeys and crops kept him busy into his adult life until he, his wife and daughter moved into Regina, and Floyd began his long career as a machinist. In 1977 the family moved to Salmon Arm to be closer to his aging parents, who had retired to Summerland a few years earlier. Floyd worked for Newnes Machine for more than 25 years. Upon retirement Floyd continued to do some part time work and volunteered with the Salmon Arm Citizen’s Patrol, the men’s woodworking group at Bastion Place, and the ESL program at Okanagan College to name a few.

Floyd was diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease, which would eventually make it difficult for him to manage on his own, so in the fall of 2013, he moved into Hillside Village, residing there until his passing. The family would like to thank the staff of Hillside Village, especially those of Cottage 5, for their care of Floyd over the past couple of years.

Floyd is survived by his daughter Maree (Brad) Cowell, grandsons Andrew & Ryan Cowell, brother Bryan (Reta) Kirk, sister-in-law Bev Kirk and nieces and nephews. He was predeceased by his wife, Margaret in 2004 and his brother Neil Kirk in 2008.

A Memorial service will be held at 1:00 on Saturday May 14, 2016, at Fischer’s Funeral Services.

Email condolences and share memories of Floyd through his obituary at www.fischersfuneralservices.com.

The Mettle of a Man In the early years of fighing wildfire, there were no safety meetings, wind direction, humidity reports, no certification card, only loggers who knew the bush, and with guts and brawn, piss pumps, polaskis (axe/grub hook) Wajax pumps, shovels, paper sleeping bag, fought fires. As a patrolman out of Enderby, along with Stan Wejr and Henry Zamis, we had a large number of fire crews, dedicated, hardworking loggers and conscripts. The year was January 1962. It was a somewhat motley mix of young men from BC, Alberta, and across this great Nation to Newfoundland, that had just debussed, in a cold snowy 30 degrees below afternoon, at Greisback barracks, home of the 2nd Battallion Princess Patricia’s Light Infantry, the huge military base north east of Edmonton. It wasn’t long before a sharp looking corporal brought us all to attention, and we were marched to the barber shop/quartermasters stores for bedding and gear. Then 13 weeks of basic training, and Hell began. We were taught weaponry, combat training, physical fitness training, drills with Sgt. Witt the drill instructor, screaming idol, crow, imbecile, and idiots, at us. We did night training at Blackburn ranges, disassembling our FN C1 rifles blindfolded.

We travelled to Wainwright base for more winter warfare training, some of our troop couldn’t cut it, and were back squadded, but in the end we came out as Fosominio Platoon.

Fit, eagar, dignified, and proud. As a private with the First Battalion Pat’s at Workpoint barracks Victoria, I truly discovered a man’s worth knowing men like Sgt. Rutherford, who, in Korea, in the dark, went behind enemy lines to bring back a soldier with 7 burpgun slugs in his gut, a major in A company who was in the Japanese internment camp, including the so called death march (British/ Canadian/prisoners). Sgt’s and Corporals, who fought off swarms of enemy for two days and nights at Capion till relief came. We did 10 mile night route marches, with blood running out of our socks. 6 weeks with hard rations in Wainwright, Alberta, Battalion against Battalion playing out intense war games. Today, Wainright is a major training base.

Is the quality of the recruits the same? They are given a green card.

This, to show the instructors, if they are under duress, so they can take a time out. Being hired by DFO as a patrolman in 1980, there was major conflict between factions, regarding the salmon fishery. Fishery officers and Native groups clashed on the river, and it was decided by the mandans in Ottawa, that things had to change. Many of our senior officers disagreed. The resource was to

be protected. As the nets grew longer, and more Chinook and sockeye were harvested, officers had to look the other way. DFO lost some dedicated, hard working, devoted (not in my face), officers because of the travesty and injustice of what was taking place. I was one of them.

Now to the present: An article on April28th in the Times Colonist by David Boyd, illustrates just how slow the Province is in enforcing the environmental laws. This pertaining to mining, drinking water protection Act, and Steel springs Hullcar situation. It’s taken 2 years.

Wildlife Act, and Park Act. Back in the 1990’s, there were were over 500 convictions per year for Environmental offences. In the past decade, the number has crashed 80% to 65 per year. What is happening is due to cutbacks and a radical shift in philosophy. When Gordon Campbell was premier, M0E’s laws were changed in the guise of cutting red tape and putting teeth back into correcting the situation.

Here and There in the Shuswap We have had two decades of consistant growth in BC with the population doubling. The calls to the Rapp line (Report Poachers and Polluters) has doubled. The number of problem wildlife call has tripled.

Polluting factories, natural gas infastructure has grown substanially, yet enforcement capacity has gone down the toilet. Are managers and staff afraid to deal with environmental issues? Are court costs a major factor in making decisions?

Are the quality of those in the field reporting back to superiors too worried about their jobs? Was Imperial Metals let off the hook with no penalty by investigators and chief mine inspector because the company is a conributor to the Liberal coffers? We had fishery officers who hated to write a ticket to an offender. My theory was, if you don’t write a ticket stay home! Just after writing this, and seeing the valiant efforts the firefighters did at saving a good portion of Fort McMurray, our hats should go off to them. The quality of the men and women is still there, including in Wildlife and Forestry Conservation.

It’s the people at the top government level, making decisions that are outdated. We have a unique province, with the most precious commodities of fish, wildlife, scenery, mountains, and lakes and rivers tourism, but it will not go on forever if change does not happen.

Contact your local MLA. Express you displeasure to Mary Pollack and Steve Thomson. There’s guys and gals waiting in the wings to carry on for the wildlife and fish and to protect the resource if given the chance!

Strong penalties for distracted driving SALMON ARM – Tougher penalties including larger fines, more penalty points and possible driving bans for repeat offenders bolster the B.C. government’s campaign to eliminate distracted driving, Shuswap MLA Greg Kyllo said today.

These harsh new sanctions reflect what the B.C. government heard during a public consultation in which 90 per cent of respondents indicated they support stronger distracted driving penalties to help make roads safer.

“Distracted driving has much in common with drinking and driving – both are completely avoidable and too often have devastating consequences,” Kyllo said.

Effective June 1, distracted drivers are subject to the following: Each offence will include a base fine of $368 – up from $167 – and will add four penalty points to a person’s driving record.

First-time offenders will face a minimum $543 in financial penalties, which includes ICBC’s escalating Driver Penalty Point (DPP) premium of $175 for the first offence.

Repeat offenders, upon a second offence within 12 months will pay the $368 fine plus the ICBC DPP of $520 for a total of $888 in financial penalties, which escalate further for any additional offence.

Repeat offenders will also have their driving record subject to automatic review which could result in a three-to-12 month driving prohibition.

Further stiffening these consequences, distracted driving is being elevated to the threshold for “high-risk” driving offences, making it equivalent to excessive speeding and driving without due care and attention. Graduated Licensing Program (GLP) drivers face intervention after a first distracted driving offence and a possible suspension of up to six months.

There will be longer suspensions for repeat offences. The Superintendent of Motor Vehicles also has discretion to prohibit drivers based on referrals from ICBC or police.

In 2014, distracted and inattentive driving

killed 66 people and seriously injured 630 more on B.C. roads.

“It’s frustrating that all of these tragedies were completely avoidable,” Kyllo said.

“Drivers only needed to keep their hands on the wheel, their eyes on the road and focus on driving.”

Members of the SAMKAM team - photo contributed by Tara Shanz Special Olympics British Columbia (SOBC) – Salmon Arm basketball athletes entered the March Madness Basketball Tournament hosted by SOBC – North Shore in Vancouver. They joined forces with athletes from SOBC – Kamloops and formed a combined team called SAMKAM to compete against twenty-nine other teams from around the Province.

SAMKAM was placed in B1 Division. They played hard, placed fourth in their Division and we are all really proud of how they performed in the tournament. But their biggest accomplishment was -- the team won an awesome

trophy -- the “Fair Play Award” for being the most sportsmanlike team in the tournament!

“It felt pretty good,” athlete Kathleen Nelson said, “I didn’t even know we won until they gave us the trophy!” She said it was a great experience and that playing with athletes from SOBC – Kamloops gave her an opportunity to learn new skills.

In addition to playing in the tournament, two of the Kamloops athletes were chosen to play in the All-star game. There was another Allstar game against the coaches in which all three of SAMKAM coaches were
