legal action over a marina in canoe concluded with the dismissal of claims against the city of Salmon Arm. on April 2 in bc Supreme court in Kamloops, Justice Geoff barrow ruled against clare’s cove Marina ltd., Willy’s Wharf Inc., Jiro Adventures ltd. and William Mac-

Isaac. The plaintiffs were claiming more than $2 million in damages.

In a 52-page judgment, barrow explains that the lawsuit, and a counter-claim from the city against Willy’s Wharf Inc. and clare’s cove Marina ltd., arose from a failed attempt by Mac-Isaac and the companies he controls to purchase and redevelop

the marina.

Involved was cityowned land on 75th Avenue ne, which runs along the lake side of canoe beach drive and the railway tracks, as well as an aquatic lease.

MacIsaac’s claims against the city included breach of contract and negligent misrepresentation.

Termination clause at issue Continued from front Central to the legal action, states the document, was the plaintiffs’ argument that because of dealings with the city and their subsequent belief that they could lease the aquatic lot and the adjacent land lot to 2016, they increased their deposit to buy the marina in June 2007 from $10,000 to $300,00 and, in the spring of 2008, completed the purchase.

Before and after the purchase they worked on improvements to the properties in anticipation of the lease.

In the spring of 2009, the city advised it was prepared to grant a lease to 2016 but it would contain a term enabling either party to terminate it with one year’s notice.

This was unacceptable to the plaintiffs and they abandoned the project.

The city argued that no contract was ever reached with the plaintiffs, and discussions were preliminary. It stated that the early termination clause was known – or should have

been known – by the plaintiffs before they completed the purchase.

Justice Barrow noted that the credibility of MacIsaac was seriously challenged by the defendants – and he agreed with them.

He states MacIsaac testified that Monica Dalziel had given him in June 2007 a March 2007 memorandum about the lease she had prepared for an in-camera meeting of city council. If she had, it could support MacIsaac’s claim, because the memorandum didn’t include the early termination clause.

Dalziel denied giving him the memo and city administrator Carl Bannister testified that incamera documents are confidential, a ‘golden rule’ that city employees take seriously.

MacIsaac produced the document, complete with stains and notes on it, well after the litigation began, stating it had been misplaced. However, the judge’s reasons state the document did not come from the city, but came from the city’s

lawyer’s office after the litigation began.

“That the document Mr. MacIsaac produced came by this route is known for certain be-

Monica Dalziel city staff cause there was a fault in the photocopier in Mr. Locke’s office, such that the copies it produced left a horizontal line near the bottom of the page. The document that Mr. MacIsaac said he received from Ms. Dalziel has the horizontal line on it.”

The judge stated that MacIsaac’s explanation for the horizontal line, stains and notes, “is utterly beyond belief.”

Regarding breach of contract and the early termination clause, the judge agreed in part with the plaintiffs. He stated a termination

Accused return to court in May Continued from front so the stay was issued,” said Matei.

Ennis and Miner were each facing four counts of possession of a prohibited/restricted firearm with ammunition, two counts of occupying a vehicle in

which there is a firearm, one count of storage of a firearm contrary to regulation and possessing a weapon for a dangerous purpose.

In addition to these charges, Skreptak is also charged with possession of a controlled substance. Montemur-

ro, 40, is facing those same weapons charges, as well as a charge of carrying a concealed weapon.

The two remaining men have their next court dates scheduled in May. They have both entered pleas of not guilty.

clause that could be invoked for any reason at all would leave the plaintiffs’ tenure uncertain. However, he did not agree with the plaintiffs that a binding agreement to lease had been established with the city and so, in turn, he could not agree the city had breached the contract by insisting on the termination clause.

Regarding negligent misrepresentation, Barrow said the city sent draft leases to the plaintiffs that included the termination clauses.

“A reasonable person in his position would have read them, or at least sent them to a lawyer to have them reviewed. Mr. MacIsaac did neither.”

Aging pipe sparks scare Flood 2012: Leak prompts city study of sewer line at foreshore.

By Martha Wickett OBSERVER STAFF

It was an experience they never want to repeat.

On the afternoon of June 27, 2012, staff at Salmon Arm’s sewage treatment plant noticed a tidal wave of liquid flowing into the plant.

“Staff found a huge amount of water, almost double our flows,” explains Rob Niewenhuizen, the city’s director of engineering and public works. “Basically from that point on, we went into emergency mode to make sure there were no other problems.

Everything was under water; we ended up doing a dye test to see if anything was leaking.”

He says dye was put into a manhole to see where it would go in the system. In this case, it ended up going to the plant.

“No water was getting out of the pipes… Because the pipes were under water, the water was forcing its way into the pipe,” he said, noting the plant was able to keep up with the subsequent large flows so no untreated sewage entered the lake.

Canoe was flooded at the time, and it was suspected that perhaps a manhole lid was off along the foreshore, allowing infiltration. Niewenhuizen said the provincial Ministry of Environment was informed, and city staff went out looking for leaks and displaced manhole lids.

“On July 3, we actually found and isolated the leak.

It was in the foreshore piping, along the trail, close to Raven,” Niewenhuizen said,

On the move: Trains are moving through the Davies Road

crossing after three separate incidents saw trains block the tracks last Thursday and Friday.

Train malfunctions block area’s access

By Tracy Hughes OBSERvER STAFF

Before they leave the house, some residents of Notch Hill are wondering whether they will be able to drive out of their community or be held up by broken trains blocking their crossing.

Twice on Thursday and once on Friday, the rail tracks at Notch Hill were blocked by rail cars until repair crews were able to clear them.

This is a major issue for the residents of the area as there is no other way to drive out of the community.

“What we’ve been told is that the car connections are snapping, maybe because of some problem on the tracks and it is leaving the crossing blocked,” says Jill Goward, a resident of Notch Hill Estates.

She estimates residents have waited up to two hours for repairs to be completed and the crossing opened to traffic.

Goward became especially concerned when she had to take her 92-year-old mother to the hospital for some non-urgent tests and ended up waiting 30 minutes.

“What if this had been a real emer-

gency situation? What would have happened then?”

CP Rail Spokesperson Kevin Hrysak confirms the incidents and says the company is still investigating and hopes to use that information to mitigate any further issues.

On Friday a westbound train experienced mechanical difficulties resulting in the train temporarily blocking the Davies Road crossing.

“CP operational personnel worked diligently to rectify the problem and clear the crossing to avoid any further delay to any motorists stopped. The crossing is now clear and CP will be doing a thorough investigation into the cause of the stoppage,” he said.

“It is premature to speculate that this particular occurrence is related to the train delays from yesterday (Thursday).”

Hrysak says the company regrets any inconvenience this caused Notch Hill citizens.

But this is not much comfort to Gower, who remains worried about the community’s access, especially as train length continues to rise.

“In my mind, this is just happening too often,” she says.

Woman faces assault charges POlicE

Beat At approximately 12:30 a.m. on April 8, the Salmon Arm RCMP responded to a disturbance complaint in the 4700 block of 72nd Avenue NE. Upon police arrival, they found that a domestic disturbance was taking place at that location.

A female suspect was found to have assaulted a male at the location, then smashed out the windows of his truck. The suspect then assaulted a police of-

ficer when she was arrested.

A 49-year-old female resident of Salmon Arm is facing various charges stemming from the incident including assault, assaulting a police officer and mischief.

Youth harmed Police are investigating an assault that occurred on April 7 in Silver Creek.

According to witnesses, two males approached several youth and accused them of stealing a piece of equipment. An argument ensued and the

men assaulted the three youth causing minor injuries. An investigation is ongoing and upon identifying the suspect males, charges against them for assault may be pursued.

Business B&E On April 5, police responded to a break and enter complaint at a business located in the 100 block of Hudson Avenue.

A door was smashed using a large brick to gain entry. The investigation found that the suspects were unable to steal anything once inside the business.

Panda-monium or PR?

If making money requires spending money, the Harper government has hit a jackpot of economic opportunity for Canadians in the form of two adorable, black and white, bamboo munching bears.

OK, I know. It’s unfair, if not insulting, to refer to Ms. Er Shun and Mr. Da Mao as just your average, run-of-the-mill bears.

They are, in fact, giant pandas. And boy, these cute, furry, endangered Chinese dignitaries with no known history of human rights abuses have already created quite a stir in the media.

Er Shun and Da Mao touched down at Toronto’s Pearson Airport on March 25 (who thought pandas could leave a carbon footprint?), and have since taken part in photo ops with the likes of Prime Minister Stephen Harper and Toronto Mayor Rob Ford.

The press, not surprisingly, have eaten it up, going so far as to call the pandas “rock stars” (perhaps confused with former KISS drummer Peter Criss in makeup).

When the pandas emerge from quarantine in May, they will once again be star attractions that will serve the Toronto Zoo for the next five years. The zoo expects to see a boost in patrons as a result and, in honour of the new arrivals (or perhaps for Year of the Snake), admission is going up $3.

At the end of the five years, Canada’s pandas in residence will be shipped to the zoo in Calgary (Western Canada in Harperspeak), where they’ll spend the next five years, further enhancing the city’s reputation as a mecca of multiculturalism (can’t wait to see the panda/Stampede tie-in).

Of course, all of the positive press and potential economic gain from this panda-monium comes at a price. Our government is paying $10 million for the privilege of having pandas in Canada.

And that doesn’t even cover the cost of food, care and maintenance, let alone the damages that would result if, in rock-star fashion, the pandas should trash an apartment.

Furthermore, the $10 million doesn’t even give us ownership of the pandas. These black and whites are rentals. This means we have to take extraordinary care not to harm or damage the pandas, as the buyout price would likely set payment of our national deficit back another five years.

Some might begrudge the Harper government (easy to confuse with the Government of Canada) for spending $10 million on panda rental, instead of investing the money in one or more of the nation’s many pressing needs. But having pandas isn’t just about giving Canadians something new behind bars to spend tax dollars on. It’s about improved international relations with a desirable trading partner that desperately wants our natural resources in exchange for cheap manufactured goods.

My only complaint is how there was seemingly no consideration given to hiring local. I, for one, would have gladly spent the next 10 years in a panda costume, posing for cameras with Harper, Ford and the like for $1 million a year. But that ship has sailed.

I wonder if China will be getting a $10 million Canadian moose in exchange? I might have a line on a Bullwinkle costume.

Editorial

Thrift stores not a dumping ground Who would deliberately cause a charitable organization the cost and inconvenience of cleaning up a pile of junk in its parking lot?

Disappointingly, quite a few people.

Some might suggest those people simply don’t know better, yet local thrift stores display signs clearly listing the hours that donated items can be dropped off.

But every weekend, staff return to the store to find a heap of items – such as beds, couches, toys and clothing – left outside the building. If it’s a misguided attempt to help, it’s definitely not. Most of the objects have to be thrown out because their history is unknown, or they can’t

be sold. It should also be obvious to anyone that furniture and mattresses left out in the rain overnight are useless.

Sanny Duque, yard supervisor at the Churches Thrift Shop, says it is frustrating to see profits intended to support local church charities being funneled into paying fees to haul and dump garbage at the landfill.

Most of the people who do this are not “donating.” They’re saving themselves the costs and inconvenience of properly disposing of their junk. And in so doing, instead of helping a charity, they’re causing harm.

It’s still easy being Green Second-class treatment BC VIEWS

Tom Fletcher VICTORIA –This is the first of a series of policy commentaries on the four main parties contesting the 2013 B.C. election.

I’m starting with the B.C. Green Party, which has higher than usual hopes for the 2013 election. It was also the first to put out a substantial policy document, albeit one that is still being debated and altered.

Green Book 2013 continues the Utopian positions that only a party with no chance of forming a government has the luxury to put forward. For example, they would double the area of parks in B.C., but take 100 years to do it.

Immediately, they would almost double the carbon tax, taking it from seven to 12 cents on a litre of gasoline.

Greens would extend this steeply increased carbon tax to industries such as natural gas and cement production.

Leader Jane Sterk told me she expects cement producers and the like to adapt, rather than shut down as their competitive position erodes.

And what about the extra billions in carbon tax revenues? Sterk says most should continue to go to income tax reductions, as is now the case, because the purpose is to change consumption patterns, not to increase overall tax revenue. Most, but not all.

“We think there is an argument to be made for putting, for a period of time, the increased revenue from the carbon tax into creating the infrastructure that allows people to benefit from a carbon tax,” Sterk said.

That means transit, and potentially retrofits of homes and other buildings as well. Tax increase aside, this is essentially the NDP position too.

The Greens emphasize wind and geothermal power. Sterk faces the awkward task of arguing against hydroelectric expansion.

A Green government would cancel

the Site C dam project on the Peace River. Sterk says it would only serve as a subsidy to liquefied natural gas exports, which she doesn’t believe materialize as international competitors develop.

The Greens’ star candidate, University of Victoria climate scientist Andrew Weaver, agrees. Both point to vast reserves of Russian gas that may well get to Asia more quickly and cheaply.

Sterk said the 35,000 existing gas wells in northern B.C. “are not going to be shut down.” Actually, in the absence of LNG exports, that is exactly what would happen to many of them. The U.S. has its own shale gas supplies, and is B.C.’s only current export customer.

Converting transport trucks and BC Ferries to LNG fuel isn’t going to maintain the vast industry blooming in northern B.C. The official Green Party position is to place a moratorium on B.C. gas drilling while a comprehensive water use policy is developed. Current innovations such as reusing municipal wastewater are ignored.

The Green platform also demands disclosure of chemicals used in hydraulic fracturing, which the B.C. Oil and Gas Commission has already done.

If one were to design a self-fulfilling prophecy that B.C.’s LNG project is doomed to fail, the Green Party platform would be a good place to start.

Reading through Green Book 2013, I’m left with the impression that much of it remains calculated as a soothing message for urban voters who have been convinced it’s courageous to drive their cars down to an anti-tanker protest.

If Weaver, Sterk or any other Greens get elected, it will be surfing a wave of protest votes from people weary of the B.C. Liberals and the NDP. It will not be due to the practicality or even internal consistency of their polices.

It’s still pretty easy being Green.

MP’s voting record needs scrutiny Re: “Mayes votes against transgender bill.” How wonderful that the Salmon Arm Observer has reported on what our MP Colin Mayes voted on.

It would be equally informative to know how he voted on the investor protection agreement with China (labeled as a treaty), on the slashed funding for CIDA (so important as a vehicle of aid to less developed countries),

the bill presented to protect the Experimental Lakes Area Research Station (which provides critically important information on the health of lakes, particularly in eastern Canada), indeed, any bill directed toward protecting or studying the environment, bills involving the future of the CBC, the building of more jails, and his position on the huge omnibus bills that have been passed in Parliament.

If this information was reported in any detail, readers would quickly see the obvious mandate of our current federal government.

Yes, yes, yes, flat roads are nice and the eternally fragile economy does needs attention (I suppose only by extracting more resources) but what sort of country do we want Canada to look like?

Writer laments SmartCentre construction Goodbye to our pristine and sacred Salmon River Delta, which is now being assaulted by massive amounts of fill, concrete and black top (tar) all for a large new concrete shopping centre, (on stilts?) and big-box stores. There will be bright lights nightly, and the hum of electricity and whatever else to disturb nature.

Water with oil and chemicals from hundred of vehicles on the huge parking lot won’t stay still, it will no doubt migrate its way to the Salmon River delta and river, any low spots and into the nearby lake.

Therefore say goodbye to millions of salmon fry and all

other marine life.

This large industrial complex is occurring in spite of many, many deeply researched, in-depth scientific and professional studies and pleas by environmental associations proving the location is wrong, wrong, very wrong.

Our government, federal provincial, and the city have let us and our environment down severely.

Many kudos and thanks to our many locals and associations that tried with so much time and money to stop this totally unnecessary, idiotic, critical error in decision-making with long-term profound

consequences made by big business, a few individuals our mayor and council past and present, bureaucratic lack of concern, and also the Department of Fisheries and the Ministry of the Environment.

They were all fooled by the aforementioned developers and decision-makers.

The negative expansion described is indeed a sad day and event for all those special people in our community who will see the photosynthetic potential for our marine species, and plant life driven to extinction.

ity News and Public Notices C Refinery project a good NOTICE OF PUBLIC HEARING investment for B.C. Guest Column

Jim Shepard I first heard of the concept for a refinery in Kitimat from David Black a number of years ago.

At the time I was skeptical of its chances.

My initially negative attitude was based mainly on my experience of 10 years’ service on the board of directors of Imperial Oil. Since I was accustomed to the discussion of petroleum economics centred in Calgary, I saw no need for a refinery in Kitimat.

That attitude was based on the fact that there had not been a new refinery built in North America in many years. And any needed increase in petroleum production was achieved by expansion of existing refineries throughout North America.

But after my service with Imperial Oil, I went on to serve four years at Canfor, which led to my nine visits to China in search of lumber markets.

My exposure to the phenomenal expansion of China’s economy opened my eyes to the true merit of the Kitimat refinery concept. It made me realize that it would not be just another refinery relying on the North America market but rather a refinery that would supply the vast appetite of China for petroleum products.

The challenge will be to draw the attention of Asian investors who would see the value to this investment. It appears that David Black, after many years of effort, is nearing an agreement that could provide the vast capital infusion needed to make this refinery initiative a reality. The appetite for oil products for Asia will continue to grow and the Kitimat refinery is ideally situated to take advantage. Asian coun-

tries, especially China, are very interested in securing a sustainable supply of resources that will flow freely without undue trade barriers like surprises with taxes, regulations or tariffs.

Canada has a good reputation as a free trade country that can be relied on as a dependable source of supply. Now is a very opportune time to attract the vast investment needed to make the Kitimat refinery go ahead. Black, with his years of diligence, deserves our appreciation for displaying the foresight and courage to invest his time, money and reputation to help bring along this huge initiative.

The positive merits of the Kitimat refinery are so profound that this project is really beyond any political persuasion. Any and all supporters of NDP, Liberal, Conservative or even Green should see the tremendous benefits that would come to B.C. with this project.

This initiative will involve the investment of many billions of dollars. That’s for sure.

It’s hard for any of us to visualize a million, let alone a billion, of anything. So lets look at the on-the-ground facts of such an undertaking for all of us in B.C. Let’s start with the big picture. When it comes to the benefits of a petroleum cycle from well exploration to the gas station, the jurisdiction that hosts the refining process enjoys a huge portion of the value addition to the raw material.

For the Kitimat project that would mean several thousand mostly trade union jobs for the multi-year term of the construction phase.

It would also mean the creation of more than 3,000 permanent

FROM THE

By Barb Brouwer

1923

OBSERVER STAFF

The turn over from the government sale of liquor for 1923 was expected to approximate $12,000,000.

1933

District council struggled to equalize the budget for 1933. After pairing down everything possible, it was found that expenses could be cut. Unfortunately, only $3.92 was left for roadwork. Coun. Ritchie, the road engineer, scowled severely when he heard his allotment. It was finally decided to approve tax improvements in order to keep the roads in passable condition.

1943

The S.A.F.E Ltd. shareholders heard the directors’ report at the annual meeting stating that the surplus of assets over liabilities totalled $59,438. A vote of thanks was passed to the manager, A.S. McArthur. The same body of directors was re-elected: D. McMullen, G.F. Ibbotson, Tom Sharpe, Robert Turner and D.B. Butchart.

1953

A.H. Affleck, manager of the Bank of Commerce, and A.L. McDonald, manger of the Bank of Nova Scotia, hinted at a meeting that Salmon Arm banks might soon close on Saturday mornings.

The new Sunday school and church hall of First United Church was formally opened.

John Allan was the general contractor in charge of the construction.

R.l Jones, member of Salmon Arm Village staff, was appointed to additional positions. Already traffic control officer, pound-keeper and dog tax collector; new jobs placed on his shoulders were building inspector, assistant fire marshal and deputy licence collector.

Work was started preparing the site on the Trans-Canada Highway, adjoining the property of Columbia Auto Customs, for a 12-unit motel being built by Mr. and Mrs. Leon Woloshyn.

Alvina Cameron has already registered for Relay For Life, which strides out June 8 and 9 at Elks Park.

This will be her eighth walk through the night to raise funds for the Canadian Cancer Society.

Cameron has two reasons for participating – the awesome support she received when was diagnosed with stage 2 breast cancer and for the “wonderful, quick, efficient and compassionate treatment” she received while battling the disease.

“When I discovered my lump, my husband and I were so impressed with the quick appointments I received in order to get a diagnosis, she says.

New to the area, the Camerons had kept the news of Alvina’s cancer to themselves.

But Will Sparks, former minister at First United Church, encouraged them to share their burden, not just with family and friends, but with their new church family as well.

It was at church that Cameron met Mary Gates, a woman who provided her with a valuable lifeline.

“She had gone through the same things and she got up, grabbed me by the hand and said ‘you’re coming to the great cancer support group,’” says Cameron.

In March 2004, she had two surgeries, quickly followed by

In the middle of the second of her three rounds of chemo, and extremely weak, Cameron faced rainy weather to walk the Relay For Life survivor lap – at Gates’ insistence.

“The sun came out, they put shavings on the route, and I made it. And that also empowered me, because I was going into that deep, dark hole,” she says, eyes filling with tears.

“And when I saw and heard all the teams clapping and cheering, I thought, ‘I can do this, I can do two more rounds of chemo.’”

Not only was Cameron back the next year, but she canvassed her community and entered a new team, known then as the Blind Bay Babes.

The name was soon changed to the Blind Bay Bunch – a team that grew so big it had to be split into two

groups, with good friend Arlene Smith sharing the captain’s load.

Although she is not a survivor herself, Smith walks for all the people she has lost and because Cameron inspires her.

“I am a survivor. I celebrate that I am a survivor...” Cameron says, holding her hand to her chest and tearing up again.

Two of Cameron’s younger sisters were also courageous, but lost their fight with cancer within four months of each other in 2011.

Cameron honours them and others by walking in the relay and her team invites cancer survivors to walk the special survivor lap and dine with them afterwards.

“They come and have supper with us at our site because it’s really important to celebrate,” she says. “Whether poorly or well, they are alive, and we need to live in the moment – we need to celebrate that.”

“Their team is one of the older teams and they are always on the track,” says Dies.

And the Blind Bay Bunch is on-track to raise even more money for the Canadian Cancer Society.

From farm to podium, Gunner aims for change One day Steve Gunner was cleaning out a chicken coop, the next day he was addressing a large group as a political candidate.

This is how Gunner’s introduction to political candidacy went in the 2009 provincial election. This time, in his second campaign as NDP candidate for the Shuswap, he knows more what to expect.

“I got thrown into it very quickly and I guess I enjoyed it enough to want to do it again,” he says.

Gunner was motivated to work for change through active politics in 2007 by the drafting and implementation of the Meat Inspection Regulation.

Despite having 300 families who he and his spouse, an agrologist, had been selling chickens to for years, they were suddenly told what they were doing was illegal.

He said they have been fighting since to

continue farming and, last year, started up their own mobile processing facility with three other farms to serve the North Okanagan.

Gunner says his experience looking after the assets of large groups of people is one of his attributes as a political candidate.

Now in his 17th year on the board of the 13,000-member Armstrong Regional Co-operative, which is giving back $4 million in patronage this year, his biography notes he was instrumental in doubling the size of the co-op.

Gunner says he believes the NDP will fair better in this election than last.

“The political landscape has changed fundamentally.

The NDP has an excellent leader – Adrian Dix is an extraordinarily hardworking individual.”

Asked about what some people refer to as ‘the dark days of the NDP,’ he notes that

when a party is no longer in power, it can no longer control the narrative. If a message is repeated enough, people start to believe it. He said his observation is that organizations and

ful and more pragmatic about where its money will come from.

“We don’t boldly forecast billions of dollars in revenue from an industry that’s about to be developed. We call

it pragmatic modest budgeting… What you will be looking at is a very detailed analysis of what isn’t a whole lot of money; you have to put it where it will do the most good.”

Steve Gunner NDP CaNDiDate individuals had it better in the 1990s.

“You can see it – things have gotten significantly worse,” he says, adding that he has spoken to seniors who must choose whether to insure their car or buy groceries.

He said the NDP can’t create money or suddenly allocate 20 per cent of the budget, but it will be a little less hope-

On target for August opening Work is progressing on the new Salmon Arm Savings and Credit Union building, with doors expected to open in August.

Michael Wagner, chief executive officer, says he expects a grand opening to take place in the second or third week of September.

“It’s progressing very well. We’re pretty much on time and under budget.”

He said the building will utilize a number of green technologies, including a green roof featuring trays of lichen and the recycling of water for irrigation.

About 30 staff will work at the new location.

“It will be a pretty good sized, full-service branch,” Wagner remarked.

Store hours will be the same as Canadian Tire’s for now, but may reduce slightly once a folding door is installed, Ritchie says.

Jim Bobst, Manager, CUETS

Smart business people know that your options to stand out from the competition are limited…

Cut prices? Not very profitable. Improve product quality? Certainly, but that can take substantial time and money. The fastest, most cost-effective way to differentiate yourself is to focus on your service.

Customer service can no longer be merely average or simply friendly; it needs to be remark-able.

Here’s your opportunity to make that happen for your team…

Attend Jeff Mowatt’s half day seminar, “The Art of Customer Service… Influence with Ease” Jeff believes that today’s customers no longer value you as an information provider. For information, customers can search Google in less than a second and it’s free. Free is worthless. Fortunately however, there are 3 core elements that customers do want from you–better yet to receive them, they are willing to pay a premium. You’ll discover how to apply these 3 elements so you’re perceived less as an information provider or order-taker, and more as a Trusted Advisor. Plus much more.

Diabetes educator gets first-hand experience HealtHy bites

Serena Caner As a diabetes educator, I always liked the idea of having diabetes for just a short period of time, to better understand the disease.

As it turns out, I was granted this opportunity with an early diagnosis of gestational diabetes.

In Canada, about 3.7 per cent of non-Aboriginal and eight to 18 per cent of Aboriginal women get gestational diabetes.

As the name suggests, it is a form of diabetes that occurs during pregnancy.

Similar to other forms of diabetes, gestational diabetes is a problem with how the body makes and uses insulin.

Insulin is a hormone essential for moving sugar or glucose from food out of the bloodstream and into cells to be used for energy.

It also signals to the liver to stop breaking down glucose stores in periods of fasting (like when you are sleeping).

When a woman gets pregnant, her placenta makes a lot of hormones that work against insulin.

Furthermore, the weight gain and increased food intake required also influence insulin use and requirements.

For most pregnant women, their pancreas adapts to this increased insulin resistance by secreting more insulin and they are still able to keep blood sugar levels stable.

Unfortunately for women with gestational diabetes, the pancreas is unable to adapt to this increased workload.

Consequently, these women are prone to high blood sugars and need to be careful with their diet and exercise patterns and may even need to take extra insulin injections.

The main concern with high blood sug-

ars during pregnancy is excess growth in the

baby, which can increase risk of complications during delivery for both mother and infant.

Although gestational diabetes usually disappears after delivery, it

is a risk factor for developing diabetes later in life.

“You are eating for two, you can get away with it!”

Unfortunately, what we are learning is that

all pregnant women have some level of insulin resistance, and that pregnancy is actually the worst time to consume sweets and unhealthy food, whether you have gestational

diabetes or not.

For me, having gestational diabetes has been a learning process on the effect of different food and activity patterns on my blood sugars, without the

safety net of unlimited insulin production.

Setting records, living the dream

By Martha Wickett OBSERVER STAFF

Jill Flockhart describes the experience as the best four years of her life.

Salmon Arm’s Flockhart is wrapping up four years at the University of Idaho where she has been living the dream of many young soccer players.

Flockhart, 21, was offered major scholarships at four U.S. universities before she settled on Idaho – and it was a great decision.

“I had an amazing experience here. I absolutely loved Idaho, I loved the team, I loved the school. Some of the girls I’ve met here are my best friends. Yeah, I’ve had a really good experience,” she concludes.

Flockhart was outstanding in more ways than one for the Vandals team. She was one of three players who, amazingly, started in every single game – 83 – over her four years.

“So I played a lot,” she smiles.

And, in order to do that, she made it through four years of soccer without injury.

“I am very fortunate,”

she says. “I made sure I was physically ready for every season when I came in. I made sure I had knee endurance and strength.”

Other players do the same, but are injured anyway, she adds.

Flockhart was ranked second all-time at the university with 17 career assists; ranked third all-time in game-winning goals (five); and ranked fourth all-time in career points (35).

Playing for the Vandals demanded a complete commitment.

“During the season, we’d get one day off normally, travel every weekend, have twohour practices every afternoon plus an hour of weights and strength training,” she explains.

“Off season, most of the time you’re at the weight room at 6 a.m.; after that you head out.

The schedule is very hard to manage – it’s a lot of soccer.”

Despite all the soccer, Flockhart didn’t neglect her studies, attaining a 3.9 grade point average.

She wraps up her final year on May 10, at which time she’ll be coming back to Salmon Arm to give a hand to Shuswap Youth Soccer.

She hopes to drop in on youth practices.

“I’m hoping to work with some of the coaches, show some of the drills I know, and I also want to do some of the personal training with some of the girls who want to make it to the next level.”

She won’t be back home for too long, however. After majoring in international studies and global development with a minor in geology, Flockhart has discovered a job that seems to be a perfect fit.

“I actually had a really cool meeting with a non-governmental organization – Soccer Without Borders – yesterday,” she said Friday.

“They presented me with a year-long internship in Uganda where I’ll be working with a lot of impoverished youth.”

Youth there are encouraged to participate in soccer, where added to the game is a focus on education, self-confidence and work with women on equality.

Although she hadn’t officially accepted the offer Friday, she expects to head to Uganda in July.

“It fits nicely, com-

I haven’t ever had the experience to work with youth in developing countries.”

Flockhart hasn’t given up playing soccer, but she says it’s very difficult in women’s soccer to break into the next level after col-

legiate. In the U.S. an MLS-type of women’s league has been formed, but it’s where the national players play.

“It would be great to get the opportunity, but hard to break into that league.”

In pursuing collegiate soccer, Flockhart focused on the U.S. primarily because of the funding available for

players.

“Mother filmed me through a lot of my high-school years. I put together a complete package, kind of like a soccer resumé. I sent it out to a bunch of schools throughout the U.S.,” she says.

Then she played in a showcase tournament in Seattle attended by a lot of scouts. She went

down as an individual and was picked up by a team that needed a player. From that, she received four offers.

“I ended up choosing Idaho because I loved the coach,” she says.

And another factor influencing her decision involved her home town. Small-town Moscow resembles Salmon Arm.

rugby begins The rugby Jewels stormed onto the field April 3 for the first game of the season. Pre-game jitters and not having many senior girls on the team with experience to calm the nerves was a factor. Norkam, meanwhile, had a majority of senior girls and lots of experience to draw from.

Norkam started hard with their stronger girls running the ball straight up the field. Flashy it was not, brute strength and unskilled it was.

Jewel Hannah Whitehead sprinted down to get close to scoring in the corner of the field, but was stopped near the try line. Scrummaging

by Jewels players Brianna Henderson, An-mei Andreassen and Xandria Smith challenged the Norkam veterans. The wide open field was covered by Skyla Eberle playing fullback. Crashing through the Norkam centres was Marin Faulkner who scored the only try and made her own conversion, making the total 7 to Norkam’s 22.

“A very steep learning game for the Jewels,” said co-coach Carmen Faulkner along with Jessica Keuris, but all came home with no injuries and big smiles. More players are invited to join the fun. Practices for girls are Mondays and Tuesdays, 4 to 6 p.m. at Jackson school.

Family running The Wild Soles Trail Running Series, two and five-kilometre fun races, go April 22, 29, May 6 and 13. Check-in is from 5 to 5:30 p.m. with the two-km route starting at 5:45 p.m. and the 6 km at 6 p.m. Pre-register at Cool Running (preferred) or at event.

Max Scharf, racing as a member of Team Canada, had a great week at the Whistler Cup, achieving his goal of a top-10 finish.

That was realized when he placed seventh in Slalom.

He also tallied a 19th in Super G and a 22nd in Giant Slalom.

Strong start for Shuswap teams The Salmon Arm Secondary Senior Girls soccer team went to a tournament in Kelowna this past weekend. They won three of their four games, placing fifth of 12 teams.

The girls opened the tournament in fine form, winning 6–0 against Mt Boucherie’s AA team.

Brooke Ambler got the shut-out with goals scored by Cassie Gunn (2), Madi Trueman (2) and Elenna Sweet (2).

The second game was a see-saw battle with OKM of Kelowna. The Jewels ended up losing 4-3 on goals by Madi Trueman (2) and Maddie Lavery (1). On Saturday, the Jewels played Kelowna Christian and beat them 4-2 with both Katie Harding and Joelene Neumann scoring one each and Cassie Gunn notching 2.

The final game was against Similkameen.

Despite maintaining most of the possession, the back of the net was elusive. The game went to a shoot-out and the Jewels won 4-3. It was a great start to the season as the team has only had two practices on grass as a team. Harding and Neumann were

The defence was led

by Kayla Byers and Courtney Larson. The team’s first league game was on Monday at UBCO versus Mt Boucherie, with another game on Wednesday at Rutland – a fast and furious start to the season.

Inaugural win

The Shuswap U18 boys travelled to Vernon for the first exhibition game of the season.

It was a high-tempo game which saw Shuswap maintain 53 per cent of possession with 17 shots directed towards the net. Shuswap led 1-0 at half time fol-

lowing a Vernon owngoal on a low, hard cross along the goal line.

Both teams found the woodwork in the second half and the keepers played well in this highly entertaining and spirited game.

Three more shots found the mark in the second frame as Shuswap start-

ed and finished the scoring with a 3-1 win over a skilled Vernon squad.

Despite the win, the Shuswap boys recognize there are several opportunities for improvement and they will continue to brush off the rust as they focus on conditioning and team tactics this week.

It’s all in the cards

By James Murray OBSERVER STAFF

They gather to play cards, though not with your typical deck, but a special series of collector cards with the exotic name of Yu-Gi-Oh. In this game the stakes are high, for ‘play’ involves challenging one another to duels using a wide a range monster, spell and trap cards.

This particular Friday evening, they are crammed into a small, second-story apartment, to play, trade, talk, socialize and share a common interest.

Most are in their late teens, some are younger, a few are in their early 20s. They are intelligent, articulate, courteous and respectful to one another, and although the whole point of taking part in the game is to win, they are, for the most part, remarkably non-competitive.

Looking around the room, one could surmise that most of these young people are not a part of the so-called “in-crowd,” but then again, they have made their own in crowd. They are also a part of a wave that has swept around the world and across North America.

For some who are admit-

tedly shy, it’s a way to improve their social skills while being among people who are non-judgemental – who are willing to accept you for who you are. For others, it’s a way to improve other skills such as mathematics, which is a large part of the gaming aspect.

The Yu-Gi-Oh card game, evolved from a Japanese (magazine) fantasy series created by Kazuki Takahashi about a fictional card game. The series followed the story of a boy named Yugi Mutou, who solves an ancient puzzle and awakens a gambling alter-ego within himself that resolves various conflicts by taking part in a fictional trading card game called Duel Monsters (originally known as Magic and Wizards), where players use cards to duel each other in mock battles.

The Yu-Gi-Oh card game is, in effect, the real-world counterpart to the fictional card game played in the fantasy. Players start out by buying a “starter” deck, and then proceed to acquire more cards. Different cards have different powers and certain cards are highly sought after. Players collect cards which they can play or trade. By improving your deck you improve your chances of winning in a game. There are a number of online strategy sites as well as online game sites. There are also sanctioned and non-sanctioned tournaments.

Local monthly tournaments, which take place at the SASCU Downtown Activity Centre, usually involve a number of small prizes ranging from simple collector tins (with cards) to playing mats. Every attempt is made to match skill levels, especially for players that are just starting out.

One rule that is strictly enforced is that there is no gambling allowed.

“Part of the game is to beat your opponent… it’s also a way to improve your deck,” says Steve Porterhead, one of the weekly Yu-Gi-Oh players and monthly tournament organizers. “Sometimes you attain cards you want by gaming, other times it’s by negotiation and trading. But there’s always a respect factor,” he says. “You don’t take advantage of someone and you always treat your opponent with respect.”

For almost all of a core group of 20 or so local players, it’s obviously more about socializing, meeting people and making new friends than it is about winning. Or as Dakota Simpson puts it, “At least it’s something productive to do on a Friday night.”

Enjoy a concert featuring great local talent and support the local women’s shelter and Shuswap Lake Health-Care Society in the process.

Well-loved for his portrayal of Hank Snow in the popular Louisiana Hayride, DJ Patrick Ryley brings Hank to the Shuswap Theatre this Saturday, along with his take on Keith Urban and Garth Brooks.

Ryley will be accompanied by the stellar guitar riffs of another local favourite – Peter Clark.

Homegrown in the Shuswap, indie artist Aimie Laws’ vocals resonate in her own a mysterious and intriguing sound. Laws will be performing music from her new CD, accompanied by Tyler Matthews (bass), Mark Greenhalgh (drums) and Jon Treichel (lead guitar).

And The Elk Tribe is a fresh, new, local group exploding onto the music scene.

“Our goal is to write simple, raw, good music that’s pleasing to all folks,” says the group on their website. “We have a foot-stompin’ groove, sweet harmonies and an infectious energy. Our sound is unique.”

Band members include: Zach Harder on guitar and rhythm, Levi Harder on lead vocals, glockenspiel, and rhythm, Brayden Harder on bass and vocals, David McMaster on violin and mandolin, and Amanda Robbins on lead vocals and synth.

As well as offering three hours of excellent entertainment, proceeds from the Women’s Benefit Show will go to two important non-profit organizations in Salmon Arm – the women’s emergency shelter and the Shuswap Lake Health-Care Auxiliary.

With 100 years of history, the auxiliary continues to actively evolve, meeting the changing needs in community health care.

More than 70 members volunteer in a wide range of services to support health care in the Shuswap.

Last year, the Shuswap Area Family Emergency Society (S.A.F.E.) supported some 140 to 150 families, says crisis intervention support worker Sara Inskip, noting the society relies heavily on community support.

“We supply families we support with housing, clothing, healthy food choices, hygiene products, baby needs, toiletries and household start-up items, and being a non-profit our budget is limited,” she says. “Without help from the community, we wouldn’t be able to do that.

Hank in the house: Patrick Ryley will host and perform in a benefit concert at Shuswap Theatre Saturday night.

Inskip says the society is very busy and the need for support is growing, with a huge increase in seniors being abused by spouses and families.

Grateful to the Salmon Arm Secondary Leadership Class that recently donated $500, Inskip says the cancellation of the All About Women conference in February was a financial blow, in the neighbourhood of some $8,000.

Inskip says S.A.F.E. Society workers are thrilled with support that will be forthcoming from Saturday’s concert and a fundraising silent auction at the show, and the upcoming “She Shoe Swaps” fundraiser May 11, for which residents are asked to drop off gently used shoes, boots and purses at Sears, RBC or the law offices of Brooke Jackson Downs.

Tickets for Saturday’s concert are available in advance for $20 at Touch ’A Texas in the Mall at Piccadilly, or $25 at the door.

Follow Alice into Wonderland It begins at a sunny garden party hosted by the Liddells in 1862 England.

Family friend, Lewis Carroll, is entertaining Alice and her two sisters with a story and magic tricks.

Jack the gardener, one of Alice’s friends, gives her a rose and, in exchange, she presents him with a jam tart.

But her mother accuses Jack of stealing the tart and sends him away.

As a curious variety of guests begin to arrive at the Liddell home, Carroll consoles Alice by taking her photograph.

He disappears behind the camera cloth, emerging as a white rabbit before disappearing into his camera bag.

The situation become curioser and curioser when Alice follows the rabbit and falls into a mysterious and wonderful world.

And so begins The Royal Ballet of Britain’s ballet Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland, choreographed by internationally acclaimed choreographer Christopher Wheeldon, artistic director and cofounder of Morphoses/ The Wheeldon Company.

Jointly commissioned with the National Ballet of Canada, Wheeldon’s Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland arrived on the stage in 2011 with a burst of colour, theatrical magic and inven-

performs in Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland on the Salmar screen April 21. tive choreography.

It was The Royal Ballet’s first full-length work since 1995, and was instantly acclaimed a classic.

Joby Talbot’s score combines sweeping melodies, that hearken back to ballet scores of the 19th century, with contemporary effects.

Bob Crowley’s wildly imaginative sets and costumes draw on puppetry, projections and masks to bring Wonderland to life.

Alice encounters a cast of extraordinary characters down the rabbit hole: from the highly-strung Queen of Hearts, who performs a hilarious rendition of the famous Rose Adagio from The Sleeping Beauty; to dancing playing cards;

a sinuous caterpillar and a tap-dancing Mad Hatter.

There is a love narrative for Alice and the Knave of Hearts, and they dance a tender pas de deux at the close of Act II. But the ballet does not avoid the darker undercurrents of Lewis Carroll’s story – a nightmarish kitchen, an eerily disembodied Cheshire Cat and an unhinged tea party are all created in vivid detail.

And, in the midst of the chaos, Alice wakes up.

Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland appears on the big screen at the Salmar Classic Theatre at 1 p.m. Sunday, April 21.

Tickets for the bal-

let are $22 for adults and $11 for children

NORRIS, BARBARA ELIZABETH July 30, 1926 to March 29, 2013.

In loving memory of Barbara Elizabeth Norris (Nee Bowes) – July 30, 1926 to March 29, 2013.

It is with deep sadness we announce the death of our mother, Betty. After battling a lengthy illness, Betty passed away peacefully in the early morning hours of March 29, 2013.

Predeceased by Cliff, her husband of 58 years who died in 2009, she is survived by her youngest brother, Alan, and her four children, Jeannie, Ellie, Wayne and Gordon.

Born to Mabel and Arthur Bowes in Viking, Alberta, she was one of six children including a sister Audrey, and brothers, Jim, Arthur, Jack, and Alan. The family moved to Richmond, B.C when she was 10 years old.

At the age of 23 she and Cliff married, and shortly after moved to Kamloops, B.C. Cliff established a successful machinist business there. Raising four children, they remained in Kamloops until retiring to Sorrento, B.C. in 1975. They relocated to Parkside Estates in nearby Chase, B.C. in 2006. Since Cliff’s passing in 2009, Betty had remained at Parkside, living independently, until her own death.

Mom enjoyed socializing, made friends easily, and had a wide circle of friends, some known for many years, others for only a few, and some perhaps just a little while. Although many are no longer with us, all had been most precious to her. Friendship was one of the things she valued most of all.

Please join us on Saturday, April 13, 2013 at 11am for a memorial service in her honor, to be held at St. Andrew’s Church, 845 Thompson Avenue, Chase B.C. In lieu of flowers, we know mom would be pleased if donations were made to the nearest Food Bank.

We miss you so much, mom. Rest in peace.

Date: Saturday, April 13, 2013 Time: 2:30 PM Place: Pleasant Valley Funeral Home 4303 Pleasant Valley Rd Vernon, BC

There will be a Tea following the Celebration of Life Those who wish to do so may send donations in memory of Duncan to the Kidney Foundation DUNCAN F ZAVISLAKE of Canada – BC Branch. August 5, 1949-December 21, 2012 ANITA BOUMA It is with much grief and sadness that we announce the death of Anita Bouma at Kelowna General Hospital on April 1st 2013. She was a loving mother, a caring sister, consistent friend and a trusted colleague.

Born March 7th 1953 in Zoutkamp, Netherlands, she immigrated with her family to Canada at the age of 16. In 1975 she moved to Salmon Arm and began nursing at Shuswap Lake General Hospital shortly after. Over a career spanning more than 35 years, Anita took pride in her work and is remembered for her “warm, compassionate personality”. For so many people she will be remembered as the friendly face of the hospital and the woman who ensured patients and guests felt comfortable and kept the unit running smoothly.

She cultivated close, long-lasting friendships and was intentional in demonstrating her love.

Through times of joy and times of sadness she remained consistent to her friends. Her devotion, contentedness and empathy are qualities we adored and will always remember.

As a mother she was a source of inspiration, an ever-present guide and a role model. As a single mother she raised Marcel with selfless love, providing him with a safe and nurturing home. By her actions she demonstrated the importance of faith, humility, kindness, hard work and active living. She seized every opportunity to celebrate birthdays, holidays and other milestones and made it abundantly clear that she loved and was proud of her son.

Anita was the oldest surviving sister and has four siblings: Errit, Marga, Edith and Andrea. She valued family and connectedness and loved bringing everyone together. She was kind and forgiving toward her siblings and selfless when it came to caring for her parents. She deeply appreciated the support from her family and friends.

Anita lived an active life and would regularly walk for hours in the evening, particularly with her close friend Erica. She also enjoyed nature and had a passion for whale watching. In recent years she would camp on Malcolm Island, BC and could be found on the beach listening to the songs of the orcas.

We would like to invite you to join with us in celebrating Anita’s beautiful life at Broadview Evangelical Free Church (350-30th St NE, Salmon Arm BC) on Sunday April 14th 2013 at 2:00 p.m.

There will be a reception following the celebration.

In lieu of flowers or gifts donations can be made to the AREA Fund (www.areafund.ca) for asbestos research, education and advocacy or BC Heart & Stroke Foundation (www.heartandstroke.bc.ca).

On line condolences may be sent to Anita’s obituary at www.bowersfuneralservice.com Arrangements are in the care of Bowers Funeral Home and Crematorium, Salmon Arm.
