Jackson site on the market

By Tracy Hughes OBSeRVeR STAFF

With previous attempts not being successful, School district #83 is again looking at new options for the former J.l. Jackson property.

A request for proposals for the “old Jackson property” is once again being advertised; however, this time the decision has been made to sell the property, rather than attempt to lease it.

Bobbi Johnson, school board chair, explains that over the past 10 years, the school district has pursued a number of options for the unused portions of the 12-acre site located in downtown Salmon Arm. The school district’s first choice was for a lease proposal for the property.

Johnson notes that if the property was leased, the revenue could be used to benefit local education. If the property is sold, the Ministry of education requires the proceeds be put towards capital funds, which cannot

be used for operating expenses.

In its first request for proposals to lease the property, the school district had a developer interested in constructing a loblaws grocery and retail centre. This was turned down for its rezoning request by the city and the proposal went no further.

From there the school district went through two extensive consultation processes and then re-issued a request for proposal for lease with the city’s new official community plan designation (retail, service, office and multi-family residential use) but was unable to find a developer interested in proceeding with any suitable plan.

Finally, the school district decided to sell the land, applied to the ministry to do this, and recently received permission to sell, as long as the sale is completed by March 31, 2014.

With that timeline in mind, school district representatives approached Okanagan college, the city of SalmSee Property on page A2

A 10 per cent tax increase requisitioned from the regional district isn’t sitting well with at least one city councillor.

At their regular meeting Monday, council approved three readings of bylaws for the city’s financial plan and this year’s rate of taxation, which includes taxes from other government bodies. city corporate services director Monica dalziel explained the bylaw reflects a 1.48 per cent increase in property taxes, which averages to $6.31 per $100,000 residential value.

Included with the recommendations, however, was financial information pertaining to other government requisitions that also impact Salmon Arm taxpayers. These include requisitions from the regional hospital district, the Okanagan Regional library and the columbia Shuswap Regional district. The library requisition amounts to a 76-cent increase per $100,000 residential and $1.85 per $100,000 for business, and the hospital district’s amounts to $5.80 per $100,000 residential and $14.21 business.

School sites up for sale By tracy hughes OBSErvEr STAFF

School District #83 is proceeding with plans to sell a number of its properties after receiving approval from the Ministry of Education.

Trustees passed final readings on bylaws to dispose of Ashton Creek Elementary, the Jackson Annex, Mount Ida School, North Broadview School, the North Canoe annex

and an empty property at 4730 Fifth Ave. SW. This means school district staff will initiate a sale process for the sites.

The bylaws concerning the potential sale of the school district office on Shuswap Street and the South Canoe Centre were not finalized.

While the ministry has approved the sale, and first reading of those bylaws was passed at a previous

board meeting, the disposal of those two sites is dependent on other factors.

In the case of the school district office, a replacement location has yet to be determined, therefore the board isn’t in a position to authorize the property disposal until a replacement building is secured.

South Canoe Centre also currently has students attending at that location.

Three-vehicle crash on TCH On April 19, at approximately 11:13 a.m., Salmon Arm rCMP responded to a three-vehicle motor vehicle incident on the Trans-Canada Highway near Highway 97B. The investigation found that a vehicle, stopped due to con-

on Arm and the Downtown College Campus Committee, as they had indicated an interest in securing the land for a downtown college site.

Unfortunately, the group has been unable to secure funding for this project.

Bruce Hunt, school district project co-ordi-

nator, has now placed a new request for proposals to sell the former Jackson property on the BC Bid website and is notifying a list of 130 developers in B.C. and Alberta.

He notes one difference in this new proposal is one or both of the parcels that comprise the property can be purchased sepa-

rately. One parcel is 4.8 acres and the other is 4.5 acres.

The remaining 2.7 acres is being retained for school district use.

Hunt is hopeful the school district will receive some purchase options to choose from.

The deadline for submitting a proposal is June 18 by 2 p.m.

4H cleans up

Mark Wikkerink pushes a load of leaves, with Rebecca and Abigail Peterson on top to help keep the leaves from falling out of the wheelbarrow during a 4-H fundraising farm clean-up event on Friday.

on April 29, four local citizens groups are sponsoring a special allcandidates forum on the environment at the Fifth Avenue seniors’ Activity Centre at 7 p.m. The groups are shuswap Naturalists, Kairossalmon Arm, shuswap Water Action Team (sWAT) and shuswap environmental Action society (seAs). so far three of the candidates have confirmed their attendance. only bC Liberal candidate, Greg Kyllo, did not respond to the invitation.

In attendance will be bC Conservative Tom birch, NDP’s steve Gunner and the Green Party’s Chris George.

Kyllo told the Observer that he’s already committed to six allcandidates meetings, and that each one requires a lot of preparation.

“I think we’ve touched on all the major communities and I think the right platform is through the chamber of commerce,” said Kyllo. “There’s just so many different specialinterest groups, whether it’s health, tourism, logging, there’s just so many different areas. If we attend one specialinterest group, it’s going to be pretty hard to turn down all of the other ones that may look at hosting as well.”

The forum will be

moderated by okanagan College regional Dean James barmby. each candidate will be provided time to introduce their party’s policy on the environment before they respond to one question from each of the sponsoring organizations. There will then be an opportunity for audience members to question the candidates.

Key environmental issues that will likely be covered in the forum include watershed management, agricultural pollution, pipelines, fracking, pesticides, the site C dam, power projects, forest health, environmental assessments, bC parks and greening the economy.

Shop local and support your community One of the strongest trends among consumers today is shopping locally. For both goods and services, local small businesses offer an alternative to buying from large chains or conglomerates.

“Shopping locally is an easy way for consumers to do their part to keep the neighbourhood economy

strong,” says James Savage, executive vice president for Western Financial Group.

“It also offers the advantage of face-to-face interaction with an individual who is in touch with the same community. For example, when you work with an insurance broker who lives and works near you, that person is more likely to understand your

specific needs. You can be confident in the solutions he or she recommends.”

Local retailers and distributors also carry a higher percentage of locally-made goods than the chainstores, creating more jobs for local producers. Small manufacturers and a wide variety of service industris have a clear stake in the nationwide

health of local retailers.

Communities embrace the idea of distinctive businesses with local character, but often forget their survival depends on our patronage.

Community-based businesseses are essential to charitable endeavors, frequently serving on local boards, and supporting a variety of causes.

Lachlan Labere

Select all of the above If asked before the recent Sicamous all-candidates forum which party I’ll be voting for, my answer then would be the same as it is now: sorry, I don’t know.

Yes, I am the undecided voter. But having seen and heard from our Shuswap candidates, I now have a sense of how I’d prefer to vote.

All of the above.

A protest vote? Kind of, but more on that in a bit.

In Tom Birch, Chris George, Steve Gunner and Greg Kyllo, Shuswap voters have been given a very impressive mix of perspectives, backgrounds, passions and beliefs from which to choose.

While driving home from the forum, I reflected on what I heard and weighed the pros and cons in an attempt to pick one, but could not. Then I decided to drop the baggage attached to each of the political parties represented, and focus on the individuals. And then it hit me, the best person for the job is all four.

The notion of having Birch, George, Gunner and Kyllo representing the Shuswap in Victoria struck a chord with me. What a coup for the electorate of our region, to have such equal representation. What a coup it would be for British Columbia.

And here’s where ‘all of the above’ becomes a protest vote.

Polls indicate British Columbians want change – that whatever good the Liberals have done for the province, many are keen to send them packing. And of course, opposition candidates have jumped on this bandwagon, espousing the promise of change.

But so long as we cling to the bitter, competitive nastiness that surrounds our current electoral system, the first-past-the-post method of king makers, it is unlikely we will ever see any real change in government.

History shows power is too persuasive, and those in power too easily whipped by party arrogance and complacency.

But history also shows British Columbians are prepared to try a different electoral system, one that results in more fair and equal representation.

The Single Transferrable Vote, a system proposed by the B.C. Citizen’s Assembly as the alternative of choice to the first-pastthe-post system, went to referendum in 2005, and received 57 per cent of the popular vote. Ironically, the Liberal government, which initiated the process behind the STV, also required a 60 per cent majority for the result to be binding.

Perhaps the STV was too convoluted. But the point is, people wanted change.

Some might argue the shortcomings of federal minority governments. But these seem to suffer more as a result of a political party’s ego and the pursuit of power taking precedence over fair and equal representation of Canadians. Such a government certainly cannot be achieved when dominated by an insular majority that favours personal attacks over consensus building.

But I concur, with the way things are now, my ‘all-of-theabove’ vote would be an act of folly. And so I remain undecided.

Editorial

Choosing not to speak a valid option There are those who will make much of BC Liberal candidate Greg Kyllo’s decision to abstain from the upcoming election forum on the environment.

Some will criticize his choice, saying he is simply trying to avoid discussion of a personal ownership stake in a project that resulted in a $375,000 penalty under the Fisheries Act for harming sensitive fish habitat in the Old Town Bay area of Sicamous in 2010.

Others in attendance likely want to question the Twin Anchors owner on issues regarding houseboats on Shuswap Lake.

But there are other indications that the forum was simply out to target Kyllo. A list of suggested questions for candidates came up

with more than a dozen for Kyllo, but only one or two for the other candidates.

This is not to say the forum would not be run in a fair and respectful manner. We presume the forum would be focused less on attacks, and more on voters educating themselves about all the candidates’ views.

Kyllo says he is being fair by attending only those forums with a broad-based agenda, saying there are too many special interests to accommodate them all.

An element of free speech is also the decision to refrain from speaking. Kyllo has chosen to make his statement by his absence.

While it may be disappointing to some voters, that right also needs to be respected.

www.saobserver.net A7

The Observer asked: Do you think an individual can make a difference within an established political party?

Becky Kirkham “Yes, but they also have to be both informed and passionate about what they believe in.”

Carla van der Kraats “No. Things are pretty well set in stone with most political parties.

It is hard to change things, even from within.”

Karen Baird “Yes. One individual person can still speak up and make other people take notice.”

Randy Pesklewis “Yes, if he’s got the charisma, intelligence and ability to convince others.”

Simon Gray “It has been done. So it is not impossible, but it is very rare.”

LASS extends appreciation The B.C. Liberals now running scared BC VIEWS

Tom Fletcher VICTORIA – The B.C. Liberal Party deserves credit for releasing its policy book in full on the eve of the formal election campaign.

That’s about the only positive thing to be said about it.

For those who take the time to read party leader Christy Clark’s 40-page booklet, there are a few nuggets of news.

For instance, a re-elected B.C. Liberal government would continue its justice reform agenda by moving traffic ticket disputes out of courtrooms, as they did with impaired driving cases.

Most of it consists of glowing descriptions of the government’s 12-year record, and attacks on the NDP of the kind that are not normally seen in a platform. This is consistent with Clark’s style since she was anointed party leader two years ago.

The main focus, as revealed in February’s throne speech, is a plan to pay off B.C.’s growing debt and perhaps even get rid of the provincial sales tax with an Alberta-style “prosperity fund” from liquefied natural gas exports.

Whether this is from imposing a new export tax on LNG or simply from a windfall of gas royalties is not clear.

Clark and her energy minister contradicted each other on that when it was announced, and the platform doesn’t shed any new light. All we have is a big logo on the side of Clark’s campaign bus declaring “Debt Free B.C.” As I’ve written before, there is plenty of real evidence of a huge new LNG industry in the making. As for paying off the $60 billion debt that the B.C. Liberals’ pre-election budget predicts will keep growing, cartoonist Adrian Raeside summed it up best: LNG revenues are “Christy Clark’s invisible friend.”

Clark finished up last week with stops

in Terrace and Prince Rupert, promising an LNG windfall for local governments as well. She repeated the platform’s attack line that the NDP are going to wreck the trillion-dollar LNG boom with a Quebec-style moratorium on “fracking” to extract gas from deep shale formations.

That’s not an outright lie, but it’s almost as speculative as Clark’s notions of a 30-year windfall that could at best barely start during the next four-year term.

The NDP are not calling for a moratorium on natural gas production. They’re calling for yet another “review,” one of many vague, wobbly positions that have been adopted by both dominant parties.

An earlier premier named Glen Clark became famous for “freezing” things like ferry fares and car insurance rates. Now Christy Clark is “freezing” personal income tax rates for five years, and carbon tax rates too. That implies she’s planning to win this election and the next one, at a time when it is unclear whether she can even hold her own seat in VancouverPoint Grey.

The B.C. Liberals will cut small business taxes by a point, some time in the next five years. They will also increase income tax on large businesses and personal income of more than $150,000, but that’s not mentioned in their platform, since it goes against 12 years of their policy as a government.

• A clarification of last week’s column on the B.C. Conservative platform.

Leader John Cummins informs me his plan to phase out the carbon tax does not include reversing the personal and business income tax rate reductions that were legislated as the fuel tax reached its current level.

The platform asserts that total provincial revenues will continue to rise in the next four years, despite the uncompensated loss of $1 billion from the carbon tax.

I am writing this letter on behalf of the Literacy Alliance of the Shuswap Society (LASS) to express our heartfelt thanks to all of the community volunteers and supporters who wrote letters and emails of support when our literacy co-ordination funding was suddenly eliminated in February.

Although this was initially a shocking and disappointing situation for LASS, we quickly witnessed a strong and passionate outpouring of community support for literacy and LASS. Many letters and emails were written by dedicated One to One reading volunteers, computer tutors and learners, adult literacy learners, community orga-

nizations, local government and local businesses, all of whom recognize the critical importance of addressing literacy needs in the North Okanagan-Shuswap.

As a result of this incredible support for community literacy, LASS’s co-ordination funding from Decoda (our provincial literacy organization) via the Ministry of Education has been restored.

We would also like to publicly recognize and thank our Shuswap MLA, George Abbott, and the staff at the Salmon Arm Observer, who played key roles in helping to get our funding restored.

In addition to this funding, LASS recently received a Community Gaming Grant and a New Horizons for Se-

niors Grant. Now LASS can continue to move forward to help address the literacy needs in the North Okanagan-Shuswap.

Thank you again to all of our dedicated community supporters. You answered our plea for help and made your voices clearly heard when our funding was drastically eliminated.

You have truly made a difference in the lives of literacy learners in our community and we thank you for your energy, commitment and passion for literacy.

Jennifer Findlay Literacy outreach co-ordinator for the Literacy Alliance of the Shuswap Society

Political system needs revamp The May election in B.C. is another political disaster in the makings.

It should be an exciting time, because it should represent an opportunity to elect a productive and responsible government with the vision and commitment to re-ignite our stalled economy.

But deep rooted apathy has left voters wondering how to vote, already convinced there is not a party that meets their criteria in terms of honesty, transparency and integrity, let alone political ideology.

What difference does it make who we vote for, when we all know that the day after the election, party discipline will dictate that the people we elected in good faith will

be compelled to toe the line of the respective party and government leaders, or they will be turfed?

It does not matter how intelligent the electorate is.

If there is not a party or candidate you believe will honestly represent you and who is qualified to do the job, how can you possibly vote intelligently?

The reality is that we do not have an electoral system that can possibly represent the diverse cultural and political ideologies of the B.C. electorate. Millions of voters have given up.

They are disillusioned, disgusted, disappointed, angry and are not voting because they do not see a candidate

on the ballot worthy of their vote, let alone a party that is remotely committed to representing them.

Party members no longer develop policies, they are written by party and government leaders on the fly between meetings and elections.

We have democratic elections, but we do not have democratic governments.

Our province is on the skids, and the voters are facing what seems like a political brick wall, knowing that about one-third of the voters will elect yet another government two-thirds of the voters absolutely do not want.

BC Conservative Party

The BC Conservatives are a party of mavericks. We respect and encourage each MLA’s contribution.

We forge together how we will achieve the party vision so that it meets the local needs of our constituents.

My party amplifies my voice for the Shuswap rather than silencing it and they will help me to achieve what is in the best interest of this riding.

I cannot imagine a better party to back me up as I partner with the people of the Shuswap.

An entrepreneur, Chris George has had a varied career managing restaurants and retail outlets. George also was a financial planner and technology consultant to small businesses. He is currently a student at Thompson Rivers University.

Chris George responds...

Chris George Green Party

I think that I can make a difference as an individual working within an established political party because I know that my ideas carry weight.

The Green Party adheres to the principle of using evidencebased policy making and the principle of participatory democracy.

These principles guide how we develop policy within the party.

My ideas carry no more and no less weight than anyone else’s within the party, but if my ideas are based in the real world, using the best evidence from the scientific community, they will be heard and respected when it comes time to examine our platform.

Steve Gunner BC NDP

A farmer, Steve Gunner is president of North Okanagan Poultry Processing Incorporated in Armstrong, which raises pasture-raised organically fed chicken and turkeys. He is also manager of the Armstrong Curling Club in the fall and winter.

The public is reminded that all requests for Beer Garden Permits must be made to the Chairman of the Committee to Approve Public Events (C.A.P.E.). Requests must be received prior to 4:00 p.m., Friday, May 10, 2013, for the 2013 season.

Steve Gunner responds...

Remember, if you are planning to host a beer garden, you must have your permit request submitted prior to May 10, 2013.

New Democrats are committed to inclusion.

Our leader has shown that he values the opinions of each elected member.

This means that every person in caucus has a voice.

I understand that the role of MLA is to represent the views of Shuswap residents and to advo-

cate for local communities within government.

This responsibility must always be the priority. This is the basis of democracy.

People are telling me that is time for a change, and New Democrats will bring a new government with better ideas.

It is important that the Shuswap be part of that government.

A Sicamous councillor, Greg Kyllo is the president of Twin Anchors Marine Group, which operates luxury vacation houseboats, as well as TA Structures, a venture in portable housing. He has lived in Sicamous for 35 years and studied at Okanagan College.

Greg Kyllo responds...

Greg Kyllo BC Liberals

The Shuswap deserves an energetic and resourceful MLA who will strive for results. I am that candidate.

I will tackle the tough issues in caucus, ensuring the needs of the Shuswap are not overlooked in Victoria.

I will work diligently to intro-

duce private members’ bills, keeping the welfare of the Shuswap at heart.

The BC Liberals are ready to resume the duties and responsibilities of providing sound governance for all British Columbians, and I look forward to the opportunity to represent the Shuswap.

FROM THE

Archives

1933

Salmon Arm merchants got together to hold a community sale of merchandise. Readers were warned that prices of all commodities would be going up and they would be wise to replenish there stocks.

A district council meeting was invaded by two dozen men from Gleneden and Canoe asking for work so they could feed their families. Most of them had no work or relief in April and needed a few days’ work to pay for supplies and food for May. Reeve Harbell thought that nothing could be done, as there was no money, and to raise taxes any further would “finish” many ratepayers. It was finally decided to give the men a few days’ work on the roads and compel the government to come through with some help.

At a meeting of municipal council, it was reported that C.R. Hayter, manager of the community owned Salmar Theatre, had made application for approval of a drive-in theatre to be built on the Trans-Canada Highway at Larch Hill, on property acquired from W.G. Hunter.

Denis Marshall returned from Toronto after completing his second year in journalism and graphic arts courses at Ryerson Institute of Technology.

1963

Salmon Arm municipal council started a movement to enforce the municipal bylaw controlling advertising signs on private property. The bylaw stated an owner of a business might advertise on his own property at the site of the operation, but nowhere else. He couldn’t lease or rent space in other areas and place a sign there.

If you attended last year’s Launch-a-Preneur event, you’ll know just how quick-witted and highenergy Darren Jacklin can be.

Jacklin is returning to Salmon Arm, but this time, in addition to MCing the evening highlighting Salmon Arm’s budding entrepreneurs on Friday, April 26, he’ll be presenting one of his acclaimed seminars the next day.

“In this seminar, you’ll learn the same tools that I’ve taught to thousands of men and women all over the world. What took me years to develop are yours in a day,” he says.

Jacklin’s bio notes that for more than 17 years he has travelled to four continents and 38 countries mentoring entrepreneurs and business owners on measurable strategies they can consistently use to increase their income, “transform their obstacles into cash flow and turn their passion into profits.”

He has personally trained more than 140 Fortune 500 companies, Darren Jacklin as well as students and Seminar professional athletes. preSenter The results of the advanced results training are described as including a strategy to fast-track measurable results in your personal and professional life as well as creating a daily delegation system that will give participants more freedom and ease.

Along with Jacklin, returning to Salmon Arm will be special guest keynote speaker Mark Anielski, author of The Economics of Happiness book, who developed a new and practical economic model called ‘genuine wealth,’ to measure the real determinants of well-being and help redefine progress.

Jacklin’s seminar will run Saturday, April 27 from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. at the Prestige Harbourfront Hotel and Conference Centre. Tickets are available via http://advancedresultstraining workshopsalmonarm-eorg.eventbrite.ca/ or the Community Futures Shuswap office at 101-160 Harbourfront Dr. NE.

Choosing energy bars: can you believe the hype?

HealtHy bites

Serena Caner A food whose presence is growing in the grocery store is the energy bar.

Energy bars are portable, convenient and ready to eat. Choosing one, on the other hand, can be daunting – you quickly grab an appealing package and hope for the best. But is this really a healthy choice or just a glorified chocolate bar?

Energy bars have some significant drawbacks: they can be expensive and contain excessive calories and sugar. They are often heavily supplemented.

While this makes the bar appear very healthy, it can lead to excessive nutrient intakes, especially if you are eating more than one daily or take other fortified foods or multivitamin supplements.

Some energy bars (especially low-calorie, low-carb bars) contain sugar alcohols, such as maltitol, which can cause bloating, gas or diarrhea in some individuals.

An important question to ask yourself before choosing a bar is, why am I eating this bar? A snack? Meal replacement? Workout fuel? With that in mind, here are some guidelines.

A snack: Many energy bars are similar in calories to a chocolate bar, and may not be the best choice for someone trying to lose weight. If you are looking for a snack bar, choose one with 150 to 200 calories, at least 2 grams of fibre, less than 12-g of sugar and less than 5-g fat, no trans fats.

Meal replacement: if you need a quick lunch, adding some raw veggies or a glass of milk can help round out the energy bar. Meal replacement bars can be a bit more caloric (200 to 300 calories), but still look for one that contains more fibre (3 to 6 g) and less sugar (under 20g) and fat (under 7 g).

Workout fuel: En-

ergy bars may not the best choice for working out. Protein, fat, fibre and sugar alcohols can delay stomach emptying and slow digestion, causing abdominal discomfort, cramps and

poor energy levels.

Before exercising, a mostly carbohydrate food would be your best choice. During a high-intensity workout, eating an energy bar could divert blood flow

from the muscles to the stomach for digestion, impairing performance.

Therefore, a sports drink or gel is a better choice to boost energy levels, hydrate and balance electrolytes in the

body during a longer event. If you are doing a low-intensity, endurance activity, such as hiking or a long bike ride, energy bars may be an appropriate choice.

Next time you are in

the store, remember that while there is room for energy bars in a healthy diet, they are not magical and should not be used regularly as a replacement for whole foods in your diet.

Jim Bobst, Manager, CUETS

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.

Young runner finds her stride at races

By Martha Wickett OBSERVER STAFF

JaMes Murray/OBSERVER

Fast on her feet: Chantel Jeffrey practises running, to excellent result, when she’s not busy taking swimming or dance lessons.

She’s only 11, but she already owns a Thompson Rivers University T-shirt.

One of the coaches of the university’s crosscountry running team mailed it to her. It declares that the wearer is: “Property of TRU CrossCountry Running Team.”

Chantel Jeffrey gets noticed when she takes part in running races – and that’s how she got the T-shirt. The coach witnessed her speed at a race in Kamloops and again in the Reino Keski-Salmi X-Country Running Race at Larch Hills, where she out-paced runners double and triple her age.

He asked for her mailing address and told her he’d be sending her a shirt.

In Kelowna last month, Chantel surprised many people, including herself.

In the 10-kilometre race at the Okanagan College Half Marathon, she was the youngest female runner, yet she topped all the female racers, 123 in total – placing first in the women’s division.

She ran the race in a time of 45:45.

Her mom Iris was among those watching.

Iris says she noticed a few people at the start line commenting that Chantel had “just gunned it,” starting off too fast. However, they were highfiving and eating their words as Chantel appeared at the finish line ahead of everyone else. They joined in the noisy cheers of “Go little girl!”

Chantel also swims and dances, so running is something she fits in when she’s free. She first ran as part of a cross-country running team when she was eight and in Grade 3 at Sorrento Elementary. That first race, she placed 23rd. She soon improved.

“It was my last race, which was in Scotch Creek – that’s when I came in first – when I realized I wanted to start running competitively,”

Chantel recalls.

She started off doing five-km trail races, avoiding the high impact of road races. She explains that her strategy is to sprint at the beginning, slow down in the middle – “not very much” – and usually sprint again for the last kilometre or two.

Before she entered the Kelowna race, she estimates she had run a 10-km just 10 times.

Iris explains that neither she nor her spouse is a runner, and neither has won any athletic awards, so when Chantel practises a 10-k, her father jogs while Chantel runs back and forth to him in order to keep up her pace without getting too far ahead.

She appreciates the support.

“I’m an only child which gives me a lot of advantage to do other things,” she says.

Iris says winning is not emphasized.

“We teach her, race against yourself, not against others. If you finish a race or a test, feel you’ve done your best. Next time, if you’re not happy with how you did, you’ll have to change that.”

What does Chantel like about running?

“I kind of feel free, and I like travelling around and stuff. I like to see different views. On a mountain I like looking down when I run up high.”

As for people, Chantel looks up to Glynis Sim, another Shuswap runner, and she names Hans Aabye of Merritt as a hero.

“He’s a very good runner.”

Iris explains that Aabye is usually in the top three if not first in most races.

In Chantel’s bedroom she has a picture of ultramarathoner Tracy Garneau, who, she explains, runs 100 kilometres at a time.

For now, though, Chantel’s goals don’t include quite that distance.

“When I go to university one day to become a veterinarian I would like to join the running team.

I would like to do a marathon one day.”

Devil in all details, not just hands By tracy Hughes OBSERVER STAFF

My hands are the devil.

And no, I am not hiring an exorcist.

I’m relying on my golf instructor, Hall Thomlinson, to help me cast out the demon from my golf game.

Many golfers, like myself, come to the game with the mistaken assumption that hitting the ball is about using your hands.

Thomlinson warns his Maximum Golf class students that the hands want to dominate. It’s like they are possessed — your hands want to take over your swing and if they do, your golf shots end up looking like something out of Rosemary’s Baby.

Thomlinson is running his set of Maximum golf lessons, not at the range or on the course, but at the Jack-

son campus gym.

There’s no ball, indeed there doesn’t need to be, because the classes are all about developing the correct muscle memory for the golf swing. Instead, we do battle with our hands trying to swing the club, rather than using the core of our body to generate the power and club head speed for a successful swing.

Now, my hands are not my only problem.

As a novice golfer, I seemed to have all the issues: awkward shoulder position, looseygoosey arms, a turnedout elbow, a wacky hip rotation and a difficulty in pronating (or turning) my wrists and hands to keep my swing in line with the target. Then there’s balance. Apparently it is not good form to nearly fall down after swinging the club.

But if golf were effortless, we’d all be Tiger Woods.

Now, I seem to be able to fix each one of these problems independently, but the problem with the golf swing, is that you have to put them all together into a beautiful, relaxed motion. Indeed it happened for me once at class this past week. Even without the ball, suddenly my body managed to get the message and suddenly it happened – the swing. Even without a ball, I could tell that it was a good one. It was

the one. And now I understand the lure, the hook that this game can have. Once you’ve felt the effortless ease of a correct swing, it’s a rush. And you want to get that feeling again.

I get it now, when Thomlinson talks about hitting balls being like a meditation. It’s your body in perfect alignment managing to do something that makes the rest of the world slip away for a moment. You just have to remember to keep the devil (those darn hands) at bay.

Outlaws push record to 3-0 The Shuswap Midget Outlaws Lacrosse team continued league play this weekend with their home opener Sunday against the Penticton Heat.

After a tight first period the Outlaws were holding a 1-0 lead.

Penalty trouble for Shuswap in the second frame allowed the Heat back in the game, but three consecutive third-period goals lifted the Outlaws to a 7-3 victory.

Austin Pugh scored the hat trick for Shuswap while Nick Yadernuk added two more. Singles were scored by Shane Minnis and Carson Hoult.

The win pushed the Outlaws record to 3-0 in Thompson Okanagan Minor Lacrosse Association (TOMLA) play.

Ted tops

Ted United played its season opener on Tuesday, April 16 in Vernon.

Ted beat Goplen Drillers 2-0.

Despite having many opportunities to score the team only man-

aged to find the back of the net once before half time. The goal was scored by Cathy Bartsch from a wellplaced pass into the six-yard box from Sue Doray.

The second goal came near the end of the game when Doray was taken down inside the 18-yard box with a penalty shot being awarded. Doray scored on the penalty shot.

Linda Yawney played in net and although she did not have much action, she made a great save on a breakaway.

Hat trick: Shuswap Midget Outlaws Lacrosse team forward Austin Pugh scores against the Heat on the weekend.

a cool and windy Sunday morning in Kamloops.

Both teams struggled with possession and pass completion in this fast-paced and physical game. In the first half, 17 fouls were committed and three yellow cards issued, limiting the flow of play.

Early in the second half, Kamloops pressed hard but it wasn’t until a Kamloops midfielder made a long run down the left side and found an attacking striker before the first goal was scored.

The Shuswap attack improved in the second half as the boys tested the back line, probing for quality chanc-

es. Eventually, a Shuswap midfielder was mauled in the penalty area and the Shuswap striker slotted home the tying goal.

The game ended 1-1 and Shuswap remains undefeated in this campaign.

Concert plays up talents of songwriting duos

By Barb Brouwer OBSERVER STAFF

I

t’s all about the power of two this Friday.

The second in Kelly Hopkins’ Spring Songwriter Showcase series features three talented duos – Gary Nielsen and Chris Doherty, Joanne Stacey and Sharlene Foisy and Nadeen Preedy and Jeff Person.

Doherty and Nielsen are Double Dawg Dare, a musical collaboration that has spanned more than 25 years.

It’s hard to pigeonhole the duo’s genre – an eclectic mix of folk, blues, swing and originals – but their style is always energetic and engaging.

These guys know how to have fun on stage.

The duo is well known for their sharp-witted lyrics that have made whimsical classics like Don’t and The Garden of Love (aka The Vegetable Song) favourites of audiences of all ages.

If your taste runs to ballads, you’ll find the haunting melodies of songs like Paradise and Vegas lingering in your mind days after you hear them.

Hot off the press are a batch of new songs

by Doherty – influenced by his recent affair with a certain long-necked plectrum banjo named Maybelle.

The result has been several more songs with catchy rhythms and clever lyrics that instantly connect with listeners.

Describing their music as “folkish-bizzaro,” veteran performers Jeff Person and Nadeen Preedy have been writing and playing together for many years.

While much of their performing is done as a duo, both songwriters have performed with several other bands and have organized and run the Grindrod Pub Jam Sessions for several years.

Most of their songs tell stories, some uplifting and some sorrowful, and many with an engaging touch of humour.

Since arriving in the Shuswap in 1989, Person and Preedy have been inspired to write many songs about the area, including Enderby Cliffs, Sugar Lake and Twice But Nice.

Joanne Stacey has spent many years work-

ing in the music business as a performer, recording artist, songwriter, producer and manager.

She currently has a publishing deal in Nashville and radio airplay all around the world.

Stacey’s songwriting credits include two honourable mentions from the Billboard World Song Contest, an honourable mention from the West Coast Songwriters International Song Contest 2011 and was a top-10 Canadian finalist in the 2009 Mountain Stage New Song Contest.

She currently lives in Revelstoke, where she works as a private vocal and performance coach and is a founding member of the country/roots band, Sister Girl.

Also a founding member of Sister Girl, Sharlene Foisy, cut her teeth doing musicals

Two at a time: Clockwise from top, Joanne Stacey and Sharlene Foisy, Gary Nielsen and Chris Doherty and Nadeen Preedy and Jeff Person perform in a Songwriters Showcase Friday at SAGA Public Art Gallery.

in community theatre.

As a member of Sister Girl, she began writing songs and developing her craft. Now a seasoned performer and songwriter, Foisy continues to share her talents, making music with Stacey, as well as other band projects.

She has taken up the fiddle recently to expand her musicianship, in the hope of one day having adequate skill to take it on-stage.

playing at the GRAND 100 Hudson Avenue

A 20-year resident of Revelstoke, Foisy works as an insurance broker, raising three teenage daughters and making great music.

Hear what these three talented songwriting duos have to play at the SAGA Public Art Gallery on Friday, April 28 at 7:30 p.m.

The third songwriters showcase on Friday, May 31 at the United Church Hall will feature Jesse Mast and other songwriters yet to be announced.

Ready for fest: Vancouver’s The Belle Game will appear in the year’s Roots and Blues Festival, which runs Aug. 16 to 18.

Bands with a capital B Known for the cutting edge indie talent it presents every year, Roots and Blues showcases two of the hottest bands featured at this year’s SXSW conference in Austin, Texas.

East meets West with Ottawa rock ‘n’ rollas, The Balconies, and Vancouver’s dark pop mavens, The Belle Game.

“It’s a birds and the bees, or maybe a chicken or the egg sort of question,” says Roots and Blues marketing manager Scott Crocker of The Balconies.

“What came first, the rosined violin strings, major falls, classical theory or the smashed guitars, split fingertips and sweaty bodies?”

At what point did their university-learned mastery of classical theory give birth to their understanding of rock and roll energy and pop structuring?

The Balconies are a band with a story. Siblings Jacquie and Steven Neville lead from their perches at the front of the stage, with Jacquie’s wide-eyed guitar strums and Stephen’s lanky bass lines tumbling in a dryer filled with Liam Jaeger’s rhythmic peppering.

For those well-versed in indie-rock archetypes, the Balconies’ beginnings – boy meets girl in university while studying classical music; girl drags brother out of school and into the basement; boy, girl and younger brother pound out rock jams to the outstretched arms of Ottawa bars. But beginnings are just that – the roots that sprouted.

And now the Balconies stand before you – teeth bared, eyelashes batting, clothing and hair drenched in sweat. In the blink of an eye, the trio has grown from a humble indie pop band to a leather-clad three-headed rock-and-roll monster, punctuated by ’80s hair metal flair.

They’ve shared the stage with Cold War Kids, Mother Mother, Devo, Sloan, Stars, and, most re-

cently, Wide Mouth Mason and Big Sugar while touring in Fall 2012.

“Taking it down a thousand, The Belle Game’s debut album, Ritual Tradition Habit, begins with bashful guitars, a soft wave of cymbals, and a pair of ambiguous phrases,” says Crocker. “Ritual, a sweetly haunting soundscape, lasts only a few moments before fleshing out a procession of wild and witchy tunes, full of melancholy, mythology and symphonic power.”

The Belle Game is Andrea Lo, Adam Nanji, Katrina Jones, Alex Andrew and Rob Chursinoff.

Led by the hypnotic vocals of Andrea Lo, The Belle Game take intricate guitar and keyboard lines, anchored by dark pop rhythms, and weave them into gorgeous, graceful melodies.

Over the last two years, the band has been quietly gathering acclaim across Canada, starting with major Canadian festival appearances.

Just back from Austin’s SXSW, where they performed as part of the Canada House Showcase, the band released Ritual Tradition Habit on April 16 and will be touring Canada promoting the new album.

Catch both these rising stars, The Balconies and The Belle Game at the 21st Annual Salmon Arm Roots & Blues Festival , which runs Aug. 16 to 18 at the Salmon Arm Fairgrounds.

April is Cancer Cancer is a disease that can strike people of all ages from all walks of life. Nobody is invulnerable to cancer, not even our children. Based on current incidence rates, 38% of Candadian women and 44% of men will develop cancer during their lifetimes

One in six Canadian adults aged 15 years and over lives with arthritis. As the leading cause of disability in Canada today, more than 600,000 Canadians with arthritis are unable to work. The term “arthritis” includes more than 100 diseases and conditions Suite 207 231 TCH NE Salmon Arm

Leukemia is a malignant disease (cancer) of the bone marrow and blood.

It is characterized by the uncontrolled accumulation of blood cells. There are four major types of Leukemia, and each behaves and needs to be treated differently. Help find a cure today by donating or volunteering.

Ovarian cancer is usually detected in its later stages, making it a particularly deadly disease. It kills approximately 1500 Canadian women each year.

Early detection is a woman’s best line of defense, making annual testing vitally important.

Uterine cancer typically affects women in middleage or later in life, developing in the endometrrial glands that line the inner wall of the uterine cavity. If the cancer is found and treated early, treatment is usually very successful

Hodgkin’s disease is a type of lymphoma.

This cancer can spread through not only the lymphatic vessels and then spread to almost any other place in the body. Both children and adults can get Hodgkin’s disease but it is most common during early adulthood (1540) and late adulthood (after 55)

When malignant tumors arise in the brain, they cause brain cancer.

Cancerous brain tumors are life threatening because they have a highly aggressive and invasive nature.

While malignant melanoma may only account for a low percentage of skin cancer cases, it causes the most skin cancer related deaths. The most important factor that appears to increase the risk of developing melanoma is your skin’s sensitivity to the sun’s ultraviolet rays. Watch for any change in the size, colour, shape or surface of any mole or birthmark.

Awareness Month What is cancer?

Cancer is a group of diseases characterized by uncontrolled growth and spread of abnormal cells. For the sake of your health, it’s important to familiarize yourself with the facts about various forms of cancer and their symptoms.

Colon cancer ranks as the third most commonly diagnosed cancer in American men and women, and the second leading cause of cancer deaths.

If you drink heavily and/or use tobacco products, you may be at risk for colon cancer.. Get screened today!

Kidney cancer affects men almost twice as often as women, most commonly between the ages of 50 and 70.

Early diagnosis greatly increases a patient’s chance of survival.
