Buy local hits agenda Salmon Arm: Mayor, council review purchasing policies, invite input. By Martha Wickett OBSERVER STAFF

The issue seems to have more sides to it than a pair of dice. Council discussed the city’s procurement policy that deals with tenders, quotations and requests for proposals at Monday’s meeting of the city’s development and planning services committee. No decision on changes resulted, but the policy will be posted on the website so the public can view it. Mayor Nancy Cooper told the Observer the policy will be updated as deemed necessary and appropriate after all comments from council and the public are reviewed. Coun. Ken Jamieson began the meeting’s discussion, which was put on the agenda following criticisms when the city’s website redesign contract was awarded to a Kansas company. Jamieson said his con-

cern is that local companies have access to the tendering process, so they can respond if they think they can do the job. He said the smaller contracts – $5,000 to $10,000 – are the ones local companies survive on, and cause the greatest concern. He also suggested the figures be increased, to reflect rising costs and prices. Carl Bannister, the city’s chief administrative officer, said staff regularly consider local businesses. “I think it’s fair to say, staff always try to consider local companies. There have been cases over the years where there’s simply nobody to provide the service locally.” Coun. Chad Eliason noted there’s a balance required between the best value for the taxpayer and the wish to employ local companies. He said perhaps it would be possible to have a percentage range added that would

allow a local company to win a bid. Bannister said staff don’t recommend a percentage for local businesses, noting that the ‘shop local’ issue comes up routinely. “What happens is, external contractors will stop bidding if they know we have this policy. In the end they will stop bidding.” Coun. Denise Reimer asked about the policy for advertising contracts. Bannister said it is discretionary because of the staff time and resources it would take to advertise every bid. Coun. Alan Harrison agreed the issue is about communication – that people know about and have the chance to bid. Reimer asked, in the case of the website, if a company would have had the opportunity to get together and collaborate See Policy on page A2

Semi driver to face impaired charges Salmon Arm RCMP are saying a man found driving a semi-tractor trailer on the TransCanada Highway was so grossly intoxicated he had to be held in cells. A witness called the police at 1 a.m. April 13 to report the large truck was being driven erratically on the highway. An officer stopped the vehicle on the TransCanada Highway near 24th Street SE. The 47-year-old male truck driver from Surrey failed a roadside screening device and was taken to the local detachment, where he refused to provide samples of his breath. Due to his intoxicated condition, the man was held in custody until sober. The man was already issued a 24-hour driving prohibition, a violation ticket for open liquor in his vehicle and an administrative driving prohibition. Police are recommending further criminal charges to Crown counsel.

Observer issues apology A story in last week’s Observer dealing with Jayne Wilson’s concern about picking up her parcels from a Canada Post outlet located inside Shoppers Drug Mart should have been more thoroughly checked prior to publication. Once Ms. Wilson was contacted by local Shoppers Drug Mart manager Jeff Chesham, her situation was quickly resolved. The local staff of Shoppers Drug Mart always endeavours to offer clients customer service that meets their individual shopping needs. The Observer regrets and apologizes for any difficulties or damage this story has caused to the reputation of Shoppers Drug Mart, associate owner Blaine Ready and manager Jeff Chesham.

Permit still in process By Martha Wickett OBSERVER STAFF

JAMES MURRAY/OBSERVER

Golden image: The Observer’s James Murray caught this rare frame of wildlife photographer Roy Hancliff and a passing chickadee to win gold in the British Columbia and Yukon Community Newspaper Association awards.

Observer photos sweep category It was triple honours for Observer photographers at the British Columbia and Yukon Community Newspaper Association awards held in Vancouver over the weekend. James Murray won a gold award for his feature photograph of nature photographer Roy Hancliff with a bird flying around him. Observer and Eagle Valley News reporter-photographer Lachlan Labere took silver in the same category for a shot of activist and motivational speaker Spencer West talking with students at Ea-

gle River Secondary School. Rounding out the category, Murray took bronze for a photograph from the Shuswap Market News entitled, Share and Share Alike, which featured a woman and her dog sitting on a truck tailgate and sharing a sandwich. The Observer also took bronze in the general excellence category for our circulation class of newspapers. The general excellence category includes all elements of the newspaper including editorial, layout and design, photography and advertising.

Just a few tasks remain before construction of the SmartCentres shopping development can begin. Three terms of the development permit that governs what’s called ‘the form and character’ of the project still need to be completed, according to the city’s planning department. They include: approval from the Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure; extension of the Riparian Areas Regulation covenant in the area of 30th Street; registration of statutory rights of way for snow storage on the east and west side of 30th Street (on the north side of the highway) and for the monument sign and bus stop.

No completion date has been determined but Corey Paiement, director of development services, said SmartCentres is “actively working to complete these conditions.”

Election expenses vary Candidates’ cash: Money laid out to campaign for office not reflective of win in most cases. By Lachlan Labere OBSERVER STAFF

Is there is a correlation between what a candidate spends on their election campaign and the number of votes they receive? Looking at the financial disclosures for Salmon Arm’s mayoralty race in the 2011 election, this might appear to be the case, though Mayor Nancy Cooper doesn’t believe it is. “I honestly don’t know whether that’s true,” says Cooper. “All I know is that for myself, I was trying to make sure I covered all the bases.” Cooper’s election expenses totalled almost $7,649, the most of all mayoral and council candidates. Her opponents, Kevin Flynn and Ron Telfer, spent $3,987 and $781, respectively. The end result saw Cooper win with 2,745 votes, followed by Flynn with 2,214 and Telfer with 149. Within 120 days after general voting day, candidates are required to file election campaign financial disclosure statements detailing how much

was spent and who contributed what. Cooper received $1,700 in campaign contributions, $1,500 of which was in the form of contributions of $100 or more. Of these, $1,400 came from union and labour organizations in amounts ranging from $100 to $700. Another $150 was contributed anonymously. Flynn received $2,610 in contributions, $2,100 of which represents contributions of $100 or more. These came from a mix

of individuals and corporations, in amounts ranging from $100 to $500. Anonymous donations amounted to $510, while 22 sources made contributions of $99 or less. Telfer received no campaign contributions. When looking at the expenses for council candidates, the dollars-to-votes theory quickly goes out the window. Unsuccessful candidate Lynne Hawrys spent $3,692 on her campaign, the most of all council contenders. Hawrys came in 11th place out of 18 candidates with 1,455 votes. Next was Tim Lavery, who spent $3,230 and came in eighth with 1,732 votes. Next was Warren Bell, who spent $2,785 and came seventh with 1,794. All three paid for the majority of their own expenses. Of the elected council candidates, Denise Reimer had the highest campaign costs at $2,243, followed by Marg Kentel at $1,326, Chad Eliason at $1,001, Ken Jamieson at $915 and Alan Harrison at $243.

FOR WHAT IT’S WORTH

Tracy Hughes

Health alert hits home My kids love smoothies. For them, snack time doesn’t get much better than when I whip out some frozen fruit, a splash of juice, a little oat bran and some yogurt, throw it all into our blender and churn it up. I do this regularly and it makes me feel good. I feel like this is a truly healthy, wonderful thing for my kids to eat — and they all like it, something that can be rare when you have three kids with a multitude of different food preferences. I also know that they all like pomegranate, so I didn’t think twice when I saw a new variety of frozen fruit in the freezer aisle of the grocery store. Pomeberry Blend, which had the aforementioned fruit plus blueberries, strawberries and cherries, sounded like a great base for smoothies. I dropped one in my cart without a second thought. Later on, I blended it up and served the smoothies to my three children, and had a glass myself. My kids actually complained that the smoothie was “too seedy” from the pomegranates, so I didn’t make any more. But I was more than a little worried and nervous when a press report about potential contamination came to my attention. The BC Centre for Disease Control (BCCDC), the regional health authorities and the Canadian Food Inspection Agency have been investigating five cases of hepatitis A in people who have consumed Western Family brand Pomeberry Blend frozen fruit. On Thursday, April 5, the BCCDC warned the public not to consume this product and to discard it, which I did as soon as I heard. The warning applies only to the Pomeberry Blend frozen fruit, not the other varieties. I realized with a sinking feeling that this was exactly what I had fed to my kids. Hepatitis A is caused by a virus, which can last from a few weeks to several months, but does not lead to chronic infection. It can, however, take 15 to 50 days before you feel sick. After calling HealthLink BC for more information, the kids and I headed for the doctor. We have now been given the vaccine and have to simply wait and hope that blood tests show no abnormalities. The overall risk is said to be very low. But I am worried. I’m a mom. That’s what we do. Frankly, it also makes me a bit frightened about everything I’m putting in my grocery cart. It hits home that I don’t often really know where my food has come from, who has been handling it, or where it has been before my family eats it. I know the only way to really know is to grow the food yourself, which is entirely unreasonable. But it does make me feel like paying greater attention to the food I buy. It also makes me support public funding for agencies like the Canadian Food Inspection Agency, which monitors the safety of our food supply. This situation is a reminder that they play an important role in consumer safety and that things can go wrong with the products we buy. That’s food for thought.

Editorial

Acts of giving deserve recognition This is National Volunteer Week in Canada, a chance to recognize the important role of volunteers in our communities. But maybe one week a year isn’t enough time to truly recognize the incredible amount of work put in by these helpful people. Even the word incredible may not be a strong enough description — the statistics might come as a surprise to even the volunteers themselves. The last survey conducted by the federal government shows that in 2010, 47 per cent of Canadians, aged 15 and up, each contributed an average of 156 hours, adding up to almost 2.1 billion hours of volunteer time. Every day, thousands of people give up their time and their skills to aid the work of thousands of organizations across the country. And with

their contribution, work gets done that otherwise might never be. They build homes for the homeless, help out in schools and hospitals, clean garbage out of rivers, coach, you name it. Who are they? They are parents, students, retirees, professionals, from every age and cultural group. They are all around us; sometimes though, they are so ubiquitous that they are invisible. And that’s what makes National Volunteer week so important. It’s a chance for volunteers to get more recognition than just their own pats on the back. It’s a chance for the rest of the community to let them know how much we appreciate them. And we, too, want to say thank you to all the volunteers who work so hard at making our communities better places to live. - Black Press

VIEW POINT

Salmon Arm Observer Wednesday, April 18, 2012

www.saobserver.net A7

The Observer asked:

Smart Meters will be installed in Salmon Arm this month. What do you think of them?

Carole Lewis “There might be a few bugs along the way, but in the end they should be OK.”

Fred Goodman “I don’t have any problems with them. You get more radiation from a cell phone.”

Glennis Diamond “It’s too much like having Big Brother watching over us.”

Jim Kimmerly “I certainly have some concerns about the amount of over-billing that seems to be associated with so-called smart meters.”

Kathy Yarama “It should be a choice. It shouldn’t be forced on people.”

Take care of our wild turtles

Mayor hands out kudos to volunteers

I am appealing to the public to help protect the painted turtles in light of city council recently voting to restock McGuire Lake. They have modified the program by extending the dock, making it baitless hooks and putting up signage in an attempt to stop the by-catch of the turtles. It is illegal to harm, harass or kill a species at risk. If you are in the vicinity of McGuire Lake and witness kids fishing, please ensure that they are with an adult, have barbless, baitless hooks and are not harming or harassing the turtles. In a perfect world we could count on municipal and provincial governments to protect our vulnerable wildlife – in this case they are the very ones promoting a program with taxpayers’ money that has the potential to do the opposite. They are stocking a ‘turtle pond’ and I am concerned about the viability of the hatched baby turtles being eaten by the trout, along with the extra pressure put on their food source besides them getting hooked. The by-catch of the green sea turtles in the ocean is just as devastating as the by-catch of the tiny pond turtle. I am appealing to your sense of kindness and responsibility to be the turtles’ voice and protection. If you see any harming of the turtles this year, please call the local conservation officer, as well as Steve Maricle, senior fish biologist with the Fish and Wildlife office in Kamloops and Mayor Nancy Cooper.

In all my years as a reporter, editor, journalist and publisher, I have never before witnessed such a blatant case of one-sided journalism as detailed in your page one story in the Observer on April 11, 2012. Complete with a staged full-colour, page one photo, this piece did absolutely nothing to balance the entire story and, far from solving the problem with Ms. Wilson’s mail delivery issues, in fact probably destroyed any hope of either Canada Post or Shoppers Drug Mart reaching a common-sense compromise with Ms. Wilson.

A hand-tooled leather blotter made by Miss Beadle of Salmon Arm was selected as part of the Provincial Handicrafts Guild’s gifts for the Prince of Wales prairie home at High River, Alberta.

1939

Tempers flared and arguments were lengthy as some 150 ratepayers backed municipal council at a public meeting which heard both sides in a dispute between council and the school board after council decided to reject the board’s budget. Most speakers seemed to feel teachers pay was too high, noting those in elementary school were making from $1,100 to $1,800 per year, and the principal’s salary worked out to about $2 per hour, “more then any farmer could even think of.”

1949

Manager C.R. Hayter announced a delay in the arrival of seats would postpone the opening of Salmon Arm’s new community theatre until May 5. How times have changed, H.W. Scales was advertising 12 acres of choice lakeshore property in Eagle Bay for $1,200. On the other hand, C.D. Munro offered 15 acres on the Trans Canada Highway with a new cabin, two barns, cows and equipment for $1,950. Goddards offered a 60x110 foot lot on Front Street in downtown Salmon Arm for $1,100.

1959

Teachers of South Broadview Elementary couldn’t be blamed for feeling they were seeing double as five sets of twins were enrolled in primary grade. They included Karen and Ian Howe, James and John Hanna, Lorne and Loyd Porteous, Edward and Ronald Hunter. Salmon Arm village council passed a resolution calling on the provincial government to pay the entire cost of teachers’ salaries.

Entrepreneurs strut their stuff By Martha Wickett OBSERVER STAFF

In the end, they were all winners – and, in this case, that’s not a cliché. Nine teams took part Friday evening in the final segment of the Shuswap Launch-a-Preneur program, Salmon Arm’s version of CBC Television’s Dragon’s Den. To a nearly packed Salmon Arm Classic Theatre, the nine teams, whittled down from an initial 23, were first given two minutes each to do an “elevator pitch,” a chance to entice their potential investors into wanting to learn more about their businesses. Speaking in front of the crowd was clearly nervewracking for some, but the audience was loudly supportive and presentations were entertaining, with business ideas ranging from customized eulogies to unique building painting. Following the elevator pitches, the judges, who included Kelowna angel investor Ed Alfke, founder of Rent-A-Wreck, gave positive feedback and suggestions. Luckily for the teams, the judges were much kinder and encouraging than the sometimes obnoxious investors on the television counterpart to Launch-aPreneur. The judges stressed the importance of making sure your audience learns what your product and service is, why you’re

passionate about it, what its benefits are, why it is unique and who your market is. The field was then narrowed down to five. Moving on to the next segment – five minute presentations with props – were: Pandemonium, Hydrodynamic Foils, Okanagan Outback Western Adventures, White-oCoccoli and OneKan. Brenda Hunter and Joyce Leach of Pandemonium went first, describing their water-jet cutting business that creates locally designed and hand-crafted metal pieces of art, big and small. They emphasized that if people can imagine it, they can create it. Between the presentations, while the judges were conferring, international speaker and author Darren Jacklin engaged the audience, asking what people had learned from each presentation and adding his own tidbits for business and personal growth. The next presenters were Okanagan Outback Western Adventures, Laine Keyes and Kyra-Rae Horvath.

She explained that her products are personalized cutlery and tableware for children, made out of bamboo from China, a healthy alternative to the plastic and toxic materials of most cutlery and dishes for children. In addition to getting experience and exposure, the teams of budding entrepreneurs were vying for a number of awards with generous prizes including cash, a houseboat package, business consultations, advertising and more. During one of the breaks the audience had been given their chance to vote for their favourite team. When the Public Choice ballots were tallied, Conrad Wilkins of OneKan was the winner. Another special award presented was the Green Initiative award, which Jennifer Ripel of White-

o-Coccoli received. Then came the three finalists. Taking third spot and a $1,000 prize package was the Pandemonium team. In second was White-o-Coccoli with a $3,500 prize total. And the top prize, a $13,000 package, went to... Hydrodynamic Foils. Blaine Sholinder was ecstatic. “Even without winning, it was a great program,” he said, emphasizing his gratitude to his business mentor as well as his student mentor from Okanagan College’s SIFE program (Students in Free Enterprise). SIFE took on Lauch-a-Preneur as a community project, with support from Salmon Arm Economic Development Society and Community Futures Shuswap. “It was a great experience. A lot of work but it was definitely worth it.”

RCMP raise could alter budget Salmon Arm Observer Wednesday, April 18, 2012

By Lachlan Labere OBSERVER STAFF

A last-minute pay hike for RCMP members hasn’t deterred Salmon Arm council from agreeing to a 20year contract, retaining the services of the national policing body. Salmon Arm Mayor Nancy Cooper says the city just received notice of the pay raises and is still awaiting information, unaware of how they might impact the municipality’s bottom line, if they do at all. “At this point I don’t have a sense that it’s going to change anything right away,” says Cooper. “I know our RCMP are very careful with their budget, Staff Sgt. Kevin Keane, is very careful with the budget. “Even with these pay hikes, I don’t see it happening right away. Next year might be a different story. We’ll have to work through that process, because we just got this information a couple of days ago.” At their regular meeting on the Tuesday after Easter, council agreed to the contract that began April 1 and expires March 31, 2032. B.C.’s contract was completed

and signed on March 31, following several years of negotiation with Ottawa, and after the 2011 Union of B.C. Municipalities convention where B.C. Public Safety Minister and Solicitor General, Shirley Bond, relayed an ultimatum put forward by the federal government: renew the contract with the RCMP by November or risk losing the police force by 2014. A key demand of municipalities, including Salmon Arm, as highlighted in a resolution sent to UBCM, was that the RCMP be more accountable to local governments in view of the “rapidly increasing cost of RCMP police services and the affordability of these services in the future.” The federal government dropped another related bomb on March 30, when Langley Mayor Peter Fassbender, who led negotiations on behalf of B.C. municipalities, received word that pay increases for RCMP members had been approved, and are retroactive to Jan. 1. Fassbender was shocked, and stated there was no formal

discussion of raises for RCMP members at the negotiating table. The federal government claims the cost to municipalities will be offset by $195 million in administrative savings in the RCMP budget. However, some B.C. municipalities, including Terrace, have been reluctant to ratify the police contract, wanting more information first. Salmon Arm councillors, however, were supportive of the contract, with Coun. Chad Eliason noting that council doesn’t typically have “a ton of say in cost increases anyway.” He argued that despite talk of establishing alternative police forces at the municipal and provincial levels, the contract with the RCMP still represents a better deal.

“I think the real value in dealing with the RCMP is the fact that we get the assistance and we get the resources from other detachments or other areas without it costing us a ton of money…,” said Eliason. “And the bureaucracy of having to recruit and retain and do all of the things with a municipal (force), I think there will be significant fixed cost savings for the City of Salmon Arm by having this contract with the RCMP.” Coun. Alan Harrison said there are improvements in the negotiated contract, and that the city got much of what it wanted. “Improved reporting and accountability is one of them and that’s certainly well built into the new agreement,” said Harrison.

Environmentalism for dummies BC VIEWS

Tom Fletcher VICTORIA – David Suzuki has resigned as a director of his namesake foundation so it won’t be the target of federal government “attacks.” This news is conveyed to me in a Globe and Mail report that is typically tilted in deference to “Canada’s most famous environmentalist.” The usual assumptions are woven in: Suzuki is a saint. His every utterance is treated as scientific fact, even when it’s a left-wing political rant. The Conservative government is a front for Big Oil that has “attacked” environmental groups by reminding them that political activities are not eligible for charitable tax exemptions. In recent years, the David Suzuki Foundation’s campaign focus has been noticeably in step with the large U.S. foundations that fund most of B.C.’s enviroscare industry: first salmon farming and now the Alberta “tar sands” in all its exaggerated horror. Suzuki’s personal activities aren’t easily distinguished from those of his foundation, as was illustrated with

his recent CBC documentary that demonized the “tar sands.” Diseased fish were displayed, but natural contamination of the Athabasca River was glossed over. Aboriginal objections were highlighted, while local support and economic benefits were overlooked.

regime’s slaughter of whales. In 1986, Moore split with Greenpeace and worked to set up a family chinook salmon farm. He said Greenpeace opposed aquaculture because it destroys tropical mangrove swamps. Tropical prawn farms have no rational connection with B.C., but a global organization needs simple ideas that sell. This approach was seen in an earlier 1980s campaign against chlorine in pulp mills.

The usual assumptions are woven in: Suzuki is a saint. His every utterance is treated as scientiﬁc fact, even when it’s a left-wing political rant.

This isn’t science or charity. It’s tabloid journalism. Sensationalize, ignore facts that weaken the drama, play to people’s emotions. And he expects to be subsidized by the CBC and charitable tax exemptions as well? This news comes as I finish reading Patrick Moore’s book, Confessions of a Greenpeace Dropout. I was one of many young fans who cheered as Moore, Bob Hunter and the other 1970s Greenpeace pioneers set out from Vancouver to disrupt Soviet nuclear testing, and then turned to the

Greenpeace protests against dioxins and the herbicide 2,4,5-T were eventually dumbed down to opposing the use of chlorine in all industries, including production of PVC plastic. Pulp mills developed a way to eliminate trace dioxins from their production, but that didn’t matter once Greenpeace had a global campaign going. They still used chlorine, so they’re bad. Speaking of chlorine, PCBs are polychlorinated biphenyls, a persistent background toxin. Tests found levels three to five times

higher in some wild salmon compared to farmed. But the wild salmon results were ignored in a 2004 study, used by Suzuki to depict farmed salmon as poisonous. His foundation’s salmon farm campaign quietly disappeared down the memory hole after its PCB claims were debunked. Moore highlighted another bit of greenwashing in a visit to Victoria last year. The vaunted “LEED” certification for green building standards gives you points if your concrete is locally sourced, but no points for using wood instead. That’s because the long campaign by major environmental groups has devolved to “logging is bad.” Here’s the latest example. Greenpeace, ForestEthics and the Sierra Club were bankrolled by U.S. foundations to negotiate with the B.C. government, aboriginal people and forest companies for the 2006 “Great Bear Rainforest” agreement on the B.C. coast. Economic opportunity was delicately balanced against preservation, and First Nations gained new control of forests. Now the big enviros have begun campaigning against their own deal. As much as 50 per cent could still be

logged, they say. It seems this particular green peace is bad for their business. Tom Fletcher is legislative reporter and columnist for Black Press tfletcher@blackpress.ca

Observer introduces digital subscription As of April 23, all Salmon Arm Observer subscribers will enjoy full access to the newspaper’s premium online content at no additional cost. This is an important step as part of a growing industry trend to reward our loyal readers with free unlimited access to all the local coverage you expect from your community newspaper. That means all website content, including our e-editions (a digital replica of the paper), is now included in the cost of your paid subscription. April 23, the first day for subscribers to activate their digital account, the Observer will publish details about the premium content plan and how it will work. Starting April 23, print subscribers can go to www.saobserver.net to sign up for digital access. New clients can subscribe for $44.50 a year

to an all-access package, which includes the print edition and premium online content. Readers who want to forgo the print edition, or who live outside the Observer’s delivery area, will still be able to access digital-only premium content on a monthly or annual basis. With this step, the Salmon Arm Observer joins scores of paidcirculation community newspapers in cities large and small across the country which are recognizing the value of their online content, Salmon Arm Observer publisher Rick Proznick said. “Our next-generation products such as our online content and e-editions, play an important part in our future,” Proznick said. “We will deliver the news and information to readers when they want it, where they want it and, most importantly, how they want it.” While recognizing

Rick Proznick OBSERVER PUBLISHER the value of the unique, local content created by the newsroom staff at the Observer, Proznick also appreciates the realities of a free-access Internet. “We understand that news outside of what our local reporters generate can be had elsewhere and for free, but there are literally thousands of such stories each day,” he said. “The stories written by our staff are uniquely Salmon Arm; there is an inherent value in that – we appreciate it, our print subscribers appreciate it – and it should be recognized

in all facets of our industry, including the emerging online component.” Subscribers will enjoy privileges that include ability to forward stories via email or social media accounts, participate in online discussions and access all content. Non-subscribers still will have free digital access to limited areas, such as provincial news, our website’s front page and section fronts, blogs, classifieds and obituaries, Proznick said. And when breaking news happens locally, that too will be available to all site visitors at no charge. The Observer’s allaccess paid premium print and online model represents next-generation thinking for the newspaper industry, Proznick said. “We all thought that, the more circulation

you had – in this case, page views – the more desirable for advertisers. But people utilize advertising on the Internet differently.” He said the evolution to valuing online content is “simply another tool in our kit. We have always been a media company.” Proznick has been reticent to charge for online content, considering it may impact page views. However, he is confident the hyper-local nature of content created by Salmon Arm Observer staff will win the day. “If we have something that no one else can produce, readers might be willing to pay for it,” he said. “We have that audience through Salmon Arm Observer – and we owe it to our print readers to share the same respect for them with our online product.”

Be aware of the breakfast cereal in your bowl HEALTHY BITES

Serena Caner Breakfast cereal (from a box) is the one food I have become suspicious of as a dietitian. I always thought it was the perfect breakfast food — it is fast, easy, relatively inexpensive, and can offer many important nutrients. However, it has been my observation that if you give a bowl of boxed cereal to anyone with insulindependent diabetes, you can almost guarantee a high blood sugar soon after. In fact, it is a routine recommendation for women with gestational diabetes to forgo breakfast cereals altogether. So what does this mean? It means that breakfast cereals are generally very processed and therefore have a high glycemic index. They are often low in fibre and fat, and therefore there is no “brake system” in how fast the sugar can get into your bloodstream. There are also some human tendencies that may contribute: Your bowl is too big: Depending on the box of cereal you choose, a serving size is about three-quarters to oneand-a-quarter cups. I measured my bowls at home, and they can comfortably hold three cups of cereal. Your bowl is bottomless: Does this scenario sound familiar? You pour out a serving of cereal, add the milk, and eat. However, when you get to the bottom of the bowl, there is still milk left so you add a little more cereal. But you add too much, so you need to pour in a little more milk. It’s a vicious cycle. Just drink or dump the milk and get on with your day. You load up on dried fruit: Raisins, cranberries, and other dried fruits do offer fibre, but are very concentrated sources of sugar and calories. A

quarter cup of raisins has about 130 calories

and 30 grams of sugar. A better choice is fresh fruit, which along with fibre contains a lot of water, filling your belly and adding less sugar and calories. You’re still eating

kids cereal: Lucky Charms, Cocoa Pebbles, Apple Jacks should not be eaten routinely by you or your children. If you really want to eat them, try to “dilute” them with

a healthier cereal. For example, have a bowl of plain Cheerios and sprinkle a few Honey Nut Cheerios on top. Breakfast cereals are not necessarily a bad choice, but try to choose

cereals that are higher in fibre (i.e. more than three grams per serving) and lower in sugar (less than seven grams per serving). Like anything else, be mindful of your portions and

think before going back for seconds. - Serena Caner is a registered dietitican who works at Shuswap Lake General Hospital.

It may be produced the same way but not all milk is equal. Happy Days Goat Dairy owner Donat Koller maintains that goat milk contains 13 per cent more calcium, 27 per cent more selenium and 135 per cent more potassium than cows milk. The Koller family founded the company in 1993 and the local enterprise has spread well beyond Salmon Arm. Happy Days Goat Dairy is western Canada’s largest supplier of fluid goat milk in Western Canada and provides retail stores and the food service industry with a variety of goat milk, goat milk cheeses, goat milk yogurts, and goat milk ice cream. The company has 14 farmers under contract in B.C. and Alberta and processes all of the goat milk in three locations: Salmon Arm, Chilliwack and Ponoka, Alta. Processing the milk close to where it is produced enhances the quality and helps the environment, says Koller. He says his suppliers are committed to the goat dairy industry and do everything to ensure the quality of the milk is superior. The goats have a year-round diet of hay and grains and are guaranteed free of antibiotics and growth hormones. Happy Days Goat Dairy’s three plants are CFIA inspected and approved. Goat milk is very sensitive, and careful processing practices are extremely important, says Koller. A selection of Happy Days Goat Dairy milk, cheese and yogurt are available at Askew’s.

ARTHRITIS

Pain free in 2 weeks!

This is what happened to me personally. After suffering for years I desperately tried everything, drugs, natural products, physiotherapy, acupuncture, magnets and nothing was of any real help. Finally I had relief in 2 weeks by taking shark cartilage that was specially processed to preserve the natural active ingredients. This is the kind we are now promoting. I realized then that there are over 50 million men and women that are battling the same illness and getting treatments that are not working well, otherwise we would not have this ongoing huge health problem. In the last 10 years we have helped tens of thousands of men and women to have less pain or no pain at all. This is a by-product of the American food industry. No sharks are caught because of their bones/cartilage. Don’t let activists confuse you. Nick A. Jerch, President We have real EVIDENCE that it works. On our web site you find over 100’s of testimonials with full names and towns. All 100% true. Skeptics may call them. Here are some examples: Doctor suggested knee replacement after all his options failed with drugs and cortisone shots in knee and lower back. I recommend Bell Shark Cartilage to those millions suffering needlessly like I did for 40 years with arthritis in my knees. It's a shame that I was given drugs and injections all these years when a natural medicine could #1 have spared me the endless torture day and night. Pat Laughlin, Coldwater, ON My hip is 95% pain free. Pain killing drugs mask and Bell Shark Cartilage heals. Rebecca Hite, Oroville, CA I tried another brand and pain came back. 2 weeks on Bell and pain is gone again. Gert Dupuis, Hanmer, ON Cancelled knee replacement. I was in pain and limping. Have no more pain now. Can square dance for hours. Anton Melnychuk, Porcupine Plain, SK. For 32 years I cried barrels of tears. Was in and out of hospitals costing society tens of thousands of dollars. I have taken many thousands of pills that nearly killed me. Finally 3 bottles of Bell Shark Cartilage costing less than $100 stopped a lifetime of suffering without side effects. Eleanor Sauson, Shigawake, QC Others write: Can walk again for hours…Climb stairs without hanging on to railing…First time in 15 years can sleep at night…Rheumatoid pain in joints down 90%, same for my sister.

Heartburn Reflux

The USDA now recommends to eat 50% alkaline food (vegetables, legumes, salads, fruit). Health professionals suggest 80% alkaline food. Unfortunately, North American people eat 90% acidic food (meat, noodles, rice, bread, pastries, sweets, junk food). If you cannot change your diet to USDA’s 50% or closer to 80% alkaline food, consider to supplement with a natural health product that helps to increase your pH alkaline level close to a healthy #7. Ask for Bell Acidic Stomach/Alkaline Balance #39. It’s inexpensive, has no side effects and may eliminate the need for anti-acid pills many people take. As a bonus, an alkaline balanced body prevents many illnesses. See guarantee printed on box. Reflux gave me a sore throat and I could not sing in the church choir anymore. After taking Bell #39 I have no more reflux and rejoice in singing again. Helene Giroux, 65, Quebec, QC Have family history of heartburn. For last 10 years I suffered a lot with acid reflux. I told all family members about #39 being all natural, giving quick relief and having no side effects. Michael Fasheh, 49, Port Ranch, CA Very happy with #39 acid reflux relief. Last 4 years had increasing reflux despite taking anti-acid products. I am also trying to eat more alkaline food. Grzegorz Smirnow, 43, Mt. Prospect, IL Suffered with reflux, choking and coughing. After starting Bell #39 I feel great. Amazed about the complete relief. Thanks from the bottom of my heart. Katarina Tusa, 63, North York, ON Was sleeping sitting up to avoid reflux. I thought I had this health problem for life like my other family members. Bell #39 brought quick relief. Can sleep now normally, have more energy, feel great. Bell products are quite different. Virginia Grant, 67, Markham, ON No need to make claims. Bell relays 100% truthful user’s free speech. No money is paid for it. No questions asked guarantee.

CONTROL WEIGHT = CONTROL BLOOD SUGAR By Dr. Chakib Hammoud, M.H.,PhD. Long term weight control without controlling blood sugar is destined to fail. This is why we have an epidemic of obesity. How it works: Stops the “roller coaster” of cravings and appetite to eat foods like sugar and starches that cause high blood glucose levels, which then brings on your pancreas to automatically pump insulin into your blood stream. Subsequently the high level of insulin precipitates low levels of blood glucose and cravings for more sugar and starchy carbohydrates (breads, noodles, crackers, cereals, french fries) which you don’t need and therefore it goes into unwanted fat storage and being overweight. Experts now recognize these basic facts.#40 Bell Blood Sugar Imbalance helps to stop this vicious cycle and puts you in control. Dr. Hammond says this natural product works 10 times better because it reprograms our brain and pancreas to release insulin in a controlled manner. Helpful non-fattening eating suggestions in the box. Fibers and exercise like walking are beneficial and help after you control the underlying basic blood sugar imbalance. Working in a health food store I heard people saying how well #40 works. I tried it myself. Finally a product that controls my blood sugar much better than anything else we had in the store. Thank you for helping people around the world. Irene M. Urdialez, 43, Brynton Beach, FL My medical indicated pre-diabetic. I took #40. When re-tested readings were fine. This helped my metabolism and my weight is down 25 lbs. I am grateful to the health food store people for their advice. Michael O’Brien, 60, Rutherglen, ON I finally found the right approach to losing weight. I tried for 3 years to lose weight. After starting #40 my blood sugar #40 is stable now. I was able to stop overeating and lost my excess weight. Sara John, 40, Kitchener, ON I was struggling for 15 years with weight gain in spite of diet and exercise. I was diagnosed as pre-diabetic. I will forever be grateful to the store manager that explained to me to take #40 and read suggestions to avoid fattening foods. I lost 70 lbs. My fasting blood sugar is now 92. My 2 hour post meal glucose level is now 92 as well. My new shape raised my self-esteem and gave me immeasurable peace of mind. Karen Maples, 55, Clarksville, TN Diabetic eliminated high blood sugar levels with #40. My readings were 140 to 200 and are now 99 to 122 range where I want it to be. Before I bought about 10 different supplement that were more expensive and didn’t work as well. I also lost some weight. A great improvement in my health and daily living.

New energy for SilverBacks By Martha Wickett OBSERVER STAFF

Sporting a ‘SilverBacks purple’ shirt and tie, the new head coach and general manager of the Salmon Arm Junior A franchise vowed to “bring the organization to where it belongs – the top organization in Canada.” Troy Mick was nearly vibrating with energy and enthusiasm as he told fans and media gathered at the Shaw Centre last Wednesday afternoon that he believes in the vision of owners Randy and Terry Williams – to win a national championship. “I wouldn’t be here if I didn’t believe in their vision.” In addition to his new coaching and GM duties, Mick is a business partner with the Williams. Mick told the people gathered he is now a minor partner with the intention of becoming a full partner. He said he plans to start his five-year commitment in Salmon Arm by engaging with the community, fans, corporate sponsors, volunteers and staff. “I’m ready to go forward, I’m ready to dig in,” he said, explaining that he wants to hear from and respond to the community. He has backed that up by setting up an email account where people can direct any questions or comments: silverbackfans@ gmail.com. He said the community is also welcome to leave a message at the hockey

Ready to work: Troy Mick, new head coach and general manager of the Salmon Arm SilverBacks, promises a new era for the team. operations office, 250-8323856. In addition, community meetings are being held. One is set for Wednesday, May 2, 6 p.m. in city council chambers, for anyone who wishes to know more about the team, Mick and the team’s direction. Williams emphasized how proud he is to welcome Mick to the organization. “I’m very excited with what’s going to be coming up in the next months and years.” SilverBacks’ fans will remember Mick from his four years as coach of the Vernon Vipers, where he amassed 146 regular season victories and an RBC Cup Championship. Also raised in Vernon, Mick

said some eyebrows were raised when he said he was coming to Salmon Arm. “The games between Vernon will be a little bit more exciting,” he predicted with a grin. “A little more meaningful.” Overall Mick promises an exciting, offensive style of hockey, “hard hitting, fast skating, where goals are celebrated.” An experienced bench boss, Mick also spent time as an assistant coach with the Portland Winterhawks before taking over as head coach of the WHL’s Tri-City Americans and Kamloops Blazers. With nearly a decade in total of

coaching in the BCHL, KIJHL and WHL, he has yet to endure a losing season. Now 43, Mick also had an extensive career on the ice. In 1988 he was a seventh-round Pittsburgh Penguins draft pick, 130th overall. He said his two years with the Pursuit of Excellence hockey academy in Kelowna have given him an advantage in scouting for players. “I got a sense of which players are out there, who people are going after.” Accompanied to the news conference by his daughter Tiffany, Mick said most See Community on page A18

Ecstatic, is how Cathy Lipsett describes her and daughter Erika’s feelings after Erika’s team, the LMRL (Lower Mainland Ringette League) Thunder, made history last week. The Thunder defeated all contenders, taking the 2012 National Ringette Championship in Burnaby while breaking a chokehold that two teams – Edmonton and Cambridge – have had on the championship since its inception. “A lot of long, hard years were put in, we travelled a lot, there was a lot of perseverance, passion and total teamwork,” says Cathy, the team’s assistant coach. “We’ve been before, it’s probably my 10th one, but it’s so rewarding,” she said, noting the announcers weren’t expecting the Thunder to win. Erika has been to the nationals four or five times before. She was busy writing an exam at UBCO, so wasn’t available for an interview. “This team has desire and passion – not only on the ice, but off,” says Cathy. “This was a team with a pure desire to win.” At 20, Erika is one of the youngest players on the team and the only player from the Okanagan, which has meant an incredible amount of travelling. Cathy doesn’t play ringette, but was a member of the basketball Jewels under coach Joe Kupkee. Ringette is similar to coach, she says, with the give and go, and setting picks.

Community will know where he stands Continued from page A17 important to him is his family, noting he and his spouse Roxanne have been married for 21 years. He proposed to Roxanne on an arena scoreboard while playing minor pro in Knoxville. The Vipers, coached by Jason

Williamson, called up Mick’s 15-year-old son, Logan, for a game last season. Logan, who was second in scoring with 12-16-28 on the POE Midget team, will attend the Vipers’ camp this summer. “Willy was my captain when I coached in Vernon so now you have a coach, captain

and a son that could potentially be playing against each other,” laughed Troy. He said the SilverBacks organization with its fans, sponsors, and volunteers will become part of that family. And he vowed to be straightforward with the community.

“I’ll be black and white, never grey... This community will never be second guessing.” And while people might not agree with everything he does, he says, “you’ll know I do it from the heart.” -With files from Kevin Mitchell, Vernon Morning Star

Following a passion for football By Martha Wickett OBSERVER STAFF

It’s been an unexpected detour in life’s path for Charmaine Chard. “I actually didn’t like cheerleaders for a number of years,” she says. That viewpoint has changed with her latest venture. The 21-year-old, an avid football fan, went to the Grey Cup in Vancouver last November to watch the Winnipeg Blue Bombers take on the BC Lions. “The Felions were down on the field and I was watching them. At one point I said, ‘I could do that – I could totally do that.’” The Felions are the cheerleading dance team which performs at BC Lions home games. Chard researched the team and decided to try out. She was shocked to find she made it through the first round of cuts. The second cut didn’t go as well and she was told factors like having to commute from a distance and not being the strongest dancer were weighing against her. “The last time someone told me I couldn’t do something, I ended up hosting a festival for two years,” she says. Chard is referring to the Shuswap Festival of Arts for Kids she organized as a 19-year-old at Marine Park in Salmon Arm, with proceeds given to the Shuswap Family Resource Centre. Chard was subse-

quently bestowed with the 2011 Young Woman of Excellence Award in Salmon Arm during the annual It’s All About Women Conference. She had trouble sleeping the night after the Felions interview. In the morning, call-backs from the Felions co-ordinator were supposed to come between 8:30 and 9 a.m. At 9:45, the call came. She had been chosen as a member of the 32-woman dance team out of more than 50 applicants. She asked about the interview. “We wanted to make sure you know what you were getting into,” Chard was told. “We wanted to know you weren’t the type who would be upset if someone was attacking you.” On game days the Felions perform for free. For promotional events, however, the dancers get paid – $20 per hour for a minimum of four hours. For instance, she notes, there was an awards dinner last weekend. If not the pay, what’s the draw? “It looks fun and I constantly have to keep busy, otherwise I go crazy. I thought, why not? I haven’t been in dance for a while, so what better way to do it, in front of thousands of people. Go big or go home,” she laughs. Chard says there is absolutely no interaction between the Felions and the football players, under threat of

Unless it’s a promotional event we’re at, and then it has to be a professional conversation about the event.” She plans to move to Victoria soon so her commute to the games will be shorter. Some of the perks, she says, include extra game-day tickets, tanning, hair styling, gym passes – all kinds of sponsorships. “Plus the fun and publicity of it. It gets you out there.” But some people don’t appreciate her plan. Chard said she’s already had a couple of

older women come up to her to express their disapproval. “I’m going to school to become a geotechnical engineer. This is more of a hobby, a fun hobby,” she says. There’s already a lot of sexism going on. They just assume I’m a pretty girl with a pretty face and that I’m stupid – definitely not. There’s always going to be that. I’m not going to let it bug me.” The only travelling the Felions do is for the Grey Cup festival in Toronto. Chard will be selling Felion calendars soon – she needs to sell 100 by September – to help pay for the dance team’s trip. And then there’s foot-

Outlaws off to strong start The Shuswap Midget Outlaws Lacrosse team began the 2012 season this weekend with a league game at home against Revelstoke. The Outlaws came out strong and won a decisive 10-2 victory over the visitors. The team was led by Brodie Berg, who scored a pair of goals as part of a five-point game. Austin Pugh, Wyatt Turner and Adam New also contributed with two goals apiece. Singles were added by Paul Beevor-Potts and Sean MacDonald.

Head coach John Beevor-Potts was pleased with the performance. “We played a strong defensive game which led to several scoring chances,” he said, noting there are high aspirations for the team. “They are an experienced team who have played together for several years. There is lots of work to do in the weeks ahead.” The next game for the Outlaws is Saturday, April 21 when they face North Okanagan in Enderby.

U16 Selects claim season opener The U16 Shuswap Selects boys team played their season opener in Vernon Sunday morning. Although the boys struggled a little for the first 10 minutes, with Vernon United dominating the play, the Selects got stronger as the game progressed. With less than a minute to go in the first half, they scored their first goal. The Selects continued in the second half

with all-around good play and strong efforts by everyone, with the game ending 3-0 in their favour. Next Sunday the boys travel to Kelowna.

Fun tourney

Salmon Arm’s Junior Soccer Jewels played well to come up in sixth place at the Argyle Junior Girls Tournament. The two-day tourney was held in North and West Vancouver. The Salmon Arm team,

4th Annual Salmon Arm Walk/Run for Charity

coached by Steve Murphy, was the only representation from the Interior. The girls won three and dropped three, including the final versus Sutherland, which was lost in penalty shots. The games were played on short artificial turf – something the Jewels weren’t used to. Second game in, the Jewels lost Mairin Idzan to a leg injury. Kairo Mair came out of the Ringette Nationals to make a difference,

lending fresh legs to the limited line up. Bella Cervantes and Maia McDonald were the star players up front, making key goals.

ARTS & EVENTS

Tri-pack added to festival slate Longtime supporter of the Canadian Indie Music Scene, the 20th Annual Salmon Arm Roots and Blues Festival’s latest release includes three acts generating a big buzz in the West. From Edmonton comes the everfunkelicious Boogie Patrol. Since 2007, Boogie Patrol has captivated crowds, both old and new, bringing funk back to its roots. A blues, funk, soul band, these diverse musicians combine mindbending guitar, keys and harmonica solos with a rhythm section that you can’t help but move to. Boogie Patrol consists of harmonica hound Rott’n Dan, belting out tunes alongside Japan ex-pat Yuji Ihara, who cranks out jawdropping guitar solos while keyboard player Sean Grieve tickles the ivories. Rounding out the sound is Nigel Gale on bass, bringing the rhythm that gets feet tapping and heads nodding. Boogie Patrol has headlined many events and opened for The Fabulous Thunderbirds and the legendary Buddy Guy. Although rooted in blues, the sound of the band crosses various genres, with hints of funk, soul, gospel and R&B flavouring their original music. Staying true to their name, Boogie Patrol takes letting loose to a whole new level. In the words of Ric Hall, guitarist for Buddy Guy: “Boogie Patrol is off the hook! They’re on.” Also coming to R&B this summer from the Coast, it’s art-pop/ torch-folk songstress, Hilary Grist. Her highly anticipated third album, Imaginings, sees her commanding

alto travel seamlessly from captivating wonder to driving indie pop, to carefree Dixieland romp. The album’s emotional depth, rich detail and confessional beauty has inspired generous praise from press and critics. Released to a sold-out crowd last September in Vancouver, the last year has found Grist enchanting audiences on tour back and forth across Canada. Her poignant, free-spirited songs have been featured on TV shows like Degrassi, Being Human, Endgame and Go To Gal. Most recently, Grist was awarded a total of $15,000 and placed fourth in the 2011 Peak Performance Project, Vancouver’s premier independent music contest and artist development program. This year and next will see Grist recording and releasing another two new albums. Like a tsunami making its way in from the coast, another massive talent coming this way in August is Buckman Coe. If he had a horse, he might be Samurai. But instead of waving a katana around, it would be an ukulele or a guitar. And he’d be singing down-home Americana, sunsweetened folk and soul-drenched blues.

Festival fare: Clockwise from top left, Hilary Grist, Boogie Patrol and Buckman Coe have signed onto Roots and Blues for the 20th anniversary festival, which runs Aug. 17 to 19.

He has been compared to Jeff Buckley, Ben Harper and Genghis Khan. But Buckman is more than the sum of his influences, and the musician-slash-yoga-instructor is as interested in the health of the global consciousness and respect for the planet as he is in a bunch of people getting together to listen to live music and dance. Buckman’s new album, By the Mountain’s Feet, is being released this week. Already garnering rave reveiws, the album has already been heard on Canadian radio, reaching number 4 on the earshot charts in Newfoundland and into the U.S. Coe was recently voted second

for Best Unsigned Band in the Georgia Straight Reader’s Choice Awards, owing to his captivating and enveloping solo performances and the excitement and groove of his accomplished band of Vancouver music-scene vets. The band features Brian Minato on bass, Mary Ancheta on keyboards, Jon Roper on electric guitar, and Sam Cartwright on drums. Formed during the creation of By the Mountain’s Feet, the band is already working on new material and planning for the summer festival season. Buckman’s music and his message comes from his experiences studying the ecological and psychological effects of globalization

while in England and Colorado, and from his time back in Canada living as a yogi, counsellor, and as an ecological and social citizen. Although music has taken the driver’s seat, he feels that these other interests are not just sidepursuits but a part of the whole development of Buckman Coe. He is a man driven by the magnificent message that music manifests. Tickets are available at earlybird prices until May 25. Get them at www.rootsandblues.ca, 250833-4096 or visit the office at the Salmon Arm Fairgrounds. Children under 12 are admitted free when accompanied by an adult.

OBSERVER STAFF

Piano is the feature instrument this week as the 12th annual Shuswap Music Festival continues. At 19, Joseph Dansereau has been practising for his appearance in the festival. He says, with a laugh that he should have been at the piano for about three or four hours a day. But there are other things he needs to do â&#x20AC;&#x201C; the written part of the Royal Conservatory of Canadaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s associate program, something he hopes to have completed by Christmas. Dansereau began playing when he was 10, picking it up easily and continuing because so many people told him how well he

Key player: Joseph Dansereau rehearses for the Shuswap Music Festival, which closes with a gala concert Friday, April 27. played. While heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s determined to get associate status, the 19-year-old has not yet determined how music will figure into his career plans. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I get extremely nervous before I perform,â&#x20AC;? says the young man who is a student of Marjorie Duncan and

regularly plays at St. Josephâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Church. Sponsored by the BC Registered Music Teachers Association and the Rotary Clubs of Salmon Arm, the event has attracted more than 450 entrants in musical genres ranging from classical piano and strings to jazz bands,

and musical theatre, to menâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s choirs. The festival culminates with the â&#x20AC;&#x153;Night of Stars,â&#x20AC;? a gala that features the winners of this yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s competition. This celebration takes place at 7 p.m. Friday, April 27 at First United Church.

Mystery surrounds the Mayan calendar What is the significance of the Mayan Calendar and 2012? What happens when the Mayan Calendar ends December 2012? What is the next step for human evolution? Tyhson Banighen, an intuitive, energy detective, water dowser and teacher, reiki master and more, will discuss this mystery at 7 p.m., Wednesday, April 25 at the SASCU Downtown

Activity Centre. In The Mayan Calendar and the Transformation of Consciousness, author Carl Calleman describes the Mayan calendar as a spiritual device that enables a greater understanding of the nature of conscious evolution throughout human history and how it provides the concrete steps we can take to align ourselves with this growth toward enlightenment.

Banighen has an MA in whole systems design. He founded Turtle Island Earth Stewards with a focus on land stewardship and land trusts. He is vice president of The Canadian Society of Questers and is currently a student of Mayan Shamanism. The evening is sponsored by the World Service Association, which supports education in India for impoverished youth.

Admission is by a suggested donation of $10. Refreshments will be served.

YOUR

Horoscope ARIES (March 21 - April 19): The week might begin on a serious note, as you feel pressure to make a decision, especially in matters of love. You can see the mature route, but your own desires are clear as well. You are facing the truth of a dynamic, which is ultimately where you find a responsible freedom. TAURUS (April 20 - May 20): A New Moon in your sign indicates the start of a brand new chapter close to your heart. You can see the way to a dream and summon the willingness to create a plan towards it. No matter how young or old you are, you come to believe itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s never too late to start again. GEMINI (May 21 - June 20): Your mystical side awakens this week, bringing moments that feel tinged by a magical fate.

IN LOVING MEMORY OF A LIFE OF FAMILY, SHARING, CARING AND COMMUNITY We regret to announce that Frederick George Demmon Jr. passed away in Nanaimo Hospital on March 30th, 2012. He passed peacefully after a lifetime battle with diabetes and all the complications that accompany it. Fred was born in Salmon Arm, BC on February 24th, 1943 while his father Fred Sr. was away at war. Like so many born in this era, Fred learned very early about giving and making sacriﬁce. Fred continued to devote his entire life to service and community. Fred met his wife Joan on the school bus in 1957 and married in 1963. Together, in Salmon Arm they started their adventure and family, adding Glen & Shari. In 1972, they moved to Golden to be house parents at the Kinsmen Group Home, where they hosted and parented over 500 children in 7 years. During these years they were blessed with the addition to the family of Liesa & Danny. Fred opened the OK Tire Store and later Quadra Auto Supplies in Golden and operated together with his parents until 1999. Fred’s community service world started in Salmon Arm, joining the Kinsmen Club but really took root in Golden, where he became a Life Member of Kinsmen and was Charter Member of Golden Rotary Club. Fred served on the Golden Town Council as Alderman/Councillor and Mayor for 16 years. He also represented Golden on the Regional District Board and the Columbia Basin Trust, Auxiliary RCMP and served as a Coroner for many years. Due to health, Fred & Joan moved to Parksville in 1999, where Fred’s value of community service continued. He was elected to two terms on Parksville City Council and became an active member of the Knights of Columbus. For his years of community service Fred was awarded the Queen’s Jubilee Medal. As much as Fred gave, being a part of his community and giving to people was his biggest reward. Whether it was a broken down tourist on a holiday weekend, a kid needing a break, a sport team needing a van, an extra hand to put up a wall, a friendly ear to listen, a voice to give guidance, a town needing a leader or a teammate, a family needing love, Fred gave it all. Fred was love: a husband, father, son, brother, friend and employer. Fred was support, he was caring, committed, willing and devoted… he was community and family. Fred, Freddy, Dad, Papa will be sadly missed but never forgotten by his wife Joan, sister Bev (Colin) Carson, children: Glen (Ramona), Shari (Christian) Leibbrandt, Liesa (Trevor) Taphorn and Dan (Teresa), grandchildren: Stefanee, Natalie, Sara, Rachel, Aidan, Kayla, and Jenna, the Berthot Clan, family, friends, neighbours, colleagues and communities. Fred is predeceased by grandson Conner and parents Fred and Irene. Memorial Service and Interment will be held for Fred at 13:00 on Saturday, May 12, 2012 at Bowers Funeral Home, 440 - 10th Street, SW, Salmon Arm, BC. Information regarding the services and condolences for Fred can be found/sent on the funeral home website: www. bowersfuneralservice.com In lieu of ﬂowers donations may be made in the name of Fred to: 1.

DAVID GORDON CLARK September 22, 1953 - April 10, 2012 Gone but never forgotten Dave passed away the evening of Tuesday, April 10 at Gillis House in Merritt after a courageous battle with asbestosinduced lung cancer. He will be dearly missed by his family and friends. He is survived by his three sons Jamie, of Nanaimo; Darcy (Marilynne) of Merritt and Bill (Kristen) of Campbell River, grandchildren Nathan, Tylar, Jayda, Haidyn, Jenna, Christie, Sarah, Nolan, Hannah and David. Also left to grieve his passing his mother and stepfather Eleanore (Keith) Moore of Barriere, his sisters Lynne Piercy of Edmonton and Shirley McCaffrey of Kamloops, stepbrothers Gerry (Jan) Moore of Surrey, Gordie and Trevor Moore and stepsister Sherry (Phil) Braithwaite all of Kamloops, former wife Cali (Steve) Whiteman of Campbell River as well as numerous aunts, uncles, cousins, nieces and nephews across Canada. He is predeceased by his father Jack and sister Kathy (Jim) Mills. Dave “Porky” Clark was born in Rosetown, Saskatchewan in 1953 and although he moved to BC with the family in the early 60s he never lost his love of the farm on the prairies. With his wicked sense of humour, infectious laugh and devilish grin he soon made many life long friends in his new home of Salmon Arm. Dave worked in construction for a few years before settling in at Newnes Machine as a metal pattern cutter where he worked for a number of years while raising his three boys in Tappen. Dave moved to Merritt with Darcy and his family in 2004 where he lived until his passing. Dave was known for his sparkling blue eyes, big smile, quick wit and snappy come-backs. He was a great story-teller, who liked to give endearing nicknames such as The Mouser, Goofy Gopher and Badger. Dave enjoyed woodworking, playing crossword tickets and Sundays ﬁlled with watching sports. His pride and joy were his children, grandchildren and his beloved black cocker spaniel, Mitzy. A small family gathering was held in Merritt. A Celebration of Dave’s life is being planned for a later date when his ashes will be scattered. The family would like to say a special thank you to the following for their care and kindness to Dave during his battle with cancer; Bridget, Irene and LNIB Health Centre, Dr. Proctor and staff of the Kamloops Cancer Clinic, Dr. Van Der Merwe, Deljit Dhariwal (WCB), Merritt Home & Community Support, staff of Gillis House and Don Ashley. Thank you also to Dave’s friends Barry, Sandy, Stewart, Steve, Kerwin, Jimmy and Morris for keeping him smiling right to the end. In lieu of ﬂowers, memorial donations in Dave’s name may be made to the Canadian Cancer Society, BC & Yukon Division, Attention: Donor Services, 565 West 10th Ave, Vancouver, BC V5Z 4J4 or online at http://www.cancer.ca/British Columbia-Yukon/How you can help/BC-Make a donation.aspx On-line condolences may be expressed at www. schoenings.com Service arrangements entrusted to Schoening Funeral Service, telephone 250-374-1454.
