Driver not impaired Court: Jean-Paul Kowal guilty of dangerous driving causing death.
By Cavelle Layes obServer STAFF
After a weeklong trial last month, Jean-Paul Kowal was convicted Friday of dangerous driving causing death for a collision that killed 17-yearold Salmon Arm resident donovan Pippus in 2010. Kowal was facing charges of dangerous driving causing death, impaired driving causing death, and causing an accident resulting in death, after witnesses testified seeing signs of impairment moments before his vehicle hit Pippus head-on, just seven minutes from his home. While Justice dev dley found Kowal guilty of dangerous driving causing death, he acquitted him on the charge of impaired driving causing death. Throughout the trial, Kowal’s lawyer rishi Gill argued that he had not been impaired when the accident took place, but instead, consumed alcohol after the crash. He noted that rcMP, ambulance attendants, and other professionals did not see any signs of impairment while at the scene. blood tests later showed Kowal had over three times the legal lim- Donovan Pippus Killed in it of alcohol in his syscollision tem, and a nurse at the hospital reported seeing signs comparable to those of ‘sobering up.’ Kowal had been heading home to Kelowna on Sept. 1, 2010, after working a stint in Alberta. evidence presented at the trial indicated Kowal’s vehicle had been swerving, tailgating and executing a pass close to a dangerous turn. Moments later, Kowal’s vehicle drifted once again into the oncoming lane on Highway 97A, killing Pippus, who was on his way home from a friend’s place. Pippus’s family and friends were in court every day of the trial. diane Pippus, donovan’s mother, said earlier in the trial that she had hoped that their presence would show Kowal how many lives he had damaged. Kowal will be sentenced later this spring.

Approval for SmartCentres Development: Construction of phase one to begin immediately. By martha Wickett obServer STAFF
one thing led to another last week as Smartcentres fulfilled its quest to begin building a shopping centre at the west end of Salmon Arm. on Tuesday, March 5, the Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure signed off on a development permit for the shopping centre. Such a permit guides the “form and character” of a development. later that day, the city of Salmon Arm was notified of the approval. on Thursday, both a development permit and a building permit were issued to Smartcentres by the city. on Thursday afternoon, Smartcentres

replied to a request from the Observer with regard to the corporation’s plans. “Smartcentres will begin the first phase of construction including the widening of Highway 1, the development of an internal frontage road in addition to the first store,” said Sandra Kaiser, vicepresident of corporate affairs for Smartcentres. “construction is scheduled to begin immediately and is expected to be completed by the end of 2013. construction contracts have been awarded to norson construction ltd. for the work on the site and bA dawson blacktop ltd. for the offsites.” norson construction ltd. has offices in Kelowna while bA dawson blacktop ltd. is based in Kamloops. According to
norson’s website, it was established in 1983 and offers general contracting, construction management and design build services throughout western canada, serving its clients through offices in vancouver, Kelowna and edmonton. bA dawson blacktop ltd.’s website explains the company was established in 1969 and has been serving the concrete and asphalt needs of the Kamloops area for nearly 40 years. It states the company is an expert in the installation of all types of paving materials.

Anchor to be 99,000 sq.ft. Continued from front should contact the contractors directly. Although SmartCentres would say only that the anchor tenant will be announced in the next few weeks, tender documents circulated in the fall referred to a Walmart. Sources who saw the documents reported that the floor plan includes a grocery section with a deli and bakery area, as well as poultry and produce coolers, grocery aisles and grocery sales. The store also included a medical/pharmacy-type centre, and a photo centre. Initial perusal of the plans showed neither an automotive centre nor a fast-food facil-
ity, as some Walmarts include. The building permit is for the largest building on the development plan at 98,857 sq.ft. Kevin Pearson, the city’s director of development services, says the development cost charges of approximately $320,000 have been paid, and the company will be spending about $600,000 on landscaping. An amended development permit was approved by city council on Oct. 24, 2011. One of the issues that MOTI had been focusing on in the fall prior to issuing its approval of the SmartCentres development permit last week was ensuring there was a sufficient buffer between the pro-
posed structure and the Trans-Canada Highway to accommodate highway maintenance, such as snow-plowing. The ministry notes that its approval is limited to considering issues related to the safety and operation of the highway. Asked about reasons for the lengthy approval process, MOTI stated in an email to the Observer yesterday that the ministry was responsible for the timeline. It stated that upon receiving the development permit from the city, the ministry undertook a technical review which included a consultation process. “The ministry was responsible for the process and the timeline

Flood report nixed By Martha Wickett OBSERVER STAFF
The pillars holding up flood predictions for the Salmon River-Shuswap Lake areas are no longer standing firm. The engineering firm of Kohn Crippen Berger Ltd. out of Vancouver wrote to Salmon Arm Council on Friday, March 1 regarding a report and maps on flooding. It referred to the Salmon River – Shuswap Lake to Spa Creek Floodplain Mapping Design Brief prepared by Crippen Consultants in 1990 and the accompanying floodplain maps issued in 1991. The floodplain mapping documents are available on the province’s Ministry of Environment website. “Given that the design brief and the floodplain maps are more than 20 years old and that site conditions and hydrology may have changed significantly since these documents were prepared, we wish to advise the City of Salmon Arm that these outdated documents should not be relied upon for current engineering works or public safety policies,” writes the engineering firm. In response to an inquiry from the Observer, Carl Bannister, the city’s chief administrative officer, said the issue will be placed on the agenda of the March 25

Flood focus: The Salmon River Bridge is one area that has been cited for its potential for risk in the event of a large flood. meeting of city council. The Ministry of Forests, Lands and Natural Resource Operations also replied via email with the following comments: “Many of the floodplain maps in the province are more than 20 years old and some may require updating. However, the maps are marked with a very clear disclaimer cautioning users to that effect,” the email stated. “Ministry staff were not aware of the situation in the City of Salmon Arm. As a result of your enquiry, they are following up with the City of Salmon Arm...” In the meantime, the BC Real Estate Association put on a “Planning to Avoid Disaster – Floodplain Maps Stakeholder Workshop” in Vancouver last week. Salmon Arm is not alone in having out-ofdate floodplain mapping information. A workshop flyer stated: “Floodplain maps can be used as
administrative tools to depict minimum elevations for floodproofing. Minimum floodproofing requirements can then be incorporated into building bylaws, subdivision approvals and local government planning and regulations.” “Unfortunately, the language used by the province can easily be misunderstood. The term ‘200-year flood’ can easily be taken to mean one flood every 200 years, when it actually means a 0.5 per cent chance of flooding in any year.” It notes that the BC Ministry of Environment website lists 105 designated floodplain areas in B.C. and offers links to 87 associated floodplain maps. “Of those, 69 per cent are 20 to 25 years old, and the remaining maps are 14 to 19 years old — despite the recommendation of experts that floodplain maps should be updated every 10 years.”
The City is creating its first ever long-term Strategic Plan in 2013. When complete, the plan will be a guide to help City Council and Staff more effectively make decisions around infrastructure planning and implementation, prioritize projects and spending, identify revenue sources and consider taxation over the next 10 to 15 years.

Liquor store to leave downtown By Lachlan Labere OBSERVER STAFF
Word of mouth isn’t how some on city council expected to learn that Salmon Arm’s government liquor store is moving from one mall to another. BC Liquor Distribution Branch spokesperson Tarina Palmer confirmed Tuesday that the liquor store will be moving from the Shuswap Park Mall to Centenoka Park Mall. “The development of a new store will enable BC Liquor Stores to improve the selection and presentation of products to our customers,” said Palmer in an email, adding the Liquor Distribution Branch doesn’t “solicit
public input” for store locations. Regardless, at the end of their regular meeting Monday, council approved a late motion by Coun. Alan Harrison to write a letter to the B.C. Liquor Control and Licensing Branch, asking that the decision to move the liquor store be reconsidered “until consultation with the City of Salmon Arm takes place.” “The fact that I think most of us found out about the move of the liquor store on the street, or from somebody else, it seems to me that consultation piece is lacking,” said Harrison. The impact the move will have on the down-
town core is also a concern for Harrison. Coun. Debbie Cannon, an employee at Centenoka, argued the mall is part of downtown and
Debbie Cannon City CounCillor said she wouldn’t support council deciding where a government liquor store can go. “I don’t think it’s our place as council to get
involved in that. Business is business,” said Cannon. Coun. Marg Kentel took issue with the potential impact the liquor store at Centenoka might have on a neighbouring private liquor outlet. Coun. Ken Jamieson stressed the liquor store is a government service, and he agreed the city should have had some say in the process. “We’re not in that loop and I think as a city government, we should have been consulted in some way,” said Jamieson. Council supported Harrison’s letter, with Cannon and Mayor Nancy Cooper opposed.

By Tracy Hughes A scammer has introduced a slick campaign to bilk consumers under the guise of raising money for Ronald McDonald House. Salmon Arm RCMP were contacted by a resident in the area of 23rd Street NE, who had a funny feeling after making a supposed donation and receiving McDonald’s gift cards in exchange. The door-to-door scammer claimed to be representing Ronald McDonald House and was wearing a photo ID tag with McDonald’s logo and the last name
“Harris.” The scammer was well dressed, wearing a dark suit. He is Caucasian, about six feet all with dark hair. The man advised the resident that if he made a donation through his Visa card, he would be able to immediately issue a tax donation receipt. “It was very slick. He seemed to have an answer for all my questions, and this is a charity I support, so I gave him my card,” said the victim, who did not want to be named. The credit receipt appeared to be legitimate under the heading “McDonald’s Foundation.”
250-832-7192
After the man left, the man and his wife became suspicious and decided to call the local McDonald’s to check. They were informed that there was no doorto-door fundraiser in progress, so the couple went to the store to see if the gift cards were valid. While the cards were legitimate McDonald’s gift cards, they were void with no value attached. The couple suspect they were stolen or previously used cards. They immediately contacted their credit card company and cancelled their card and then phoned police. “It’s another skim-
ming operation,” said Staff Sgt. Kevin Keane of the Salmon Arm RCMP. “Last fall it was Tim (Hortons) cards.” Keane advises anyone who may have been scammed to contact them and also advised the public to be cautious with their credit card information. “These people went to great lengths to appear legitimate,” says the victim. “I was lucky and wasn’t out anything because I cancelled my card, but these people could have really gone to town. I just don’t want anyone else to get taken.”
Firefighters were able to quickly contain the blaze. There was some heat and smoke damage to the siding of the home and to a neighbour’s adjacent property; however no one was injured.

Plan ignores the obvious There are some times in this business when you just have to shake your head in disbelief. The first is when politicians announce and re-announce the same grant project trying to milk the so-called donation of taxpayer’s dollars for as much good PR as possible. This is followed closely by government officials who seem to have no clue about local issues when they devise grand plans for our community. A glaring example of this was the recent presentation of proposed upgrades to the Trans-Canada Highway between Kamloops and the Alberta border. The province has committed $650 million over the next 10 years for future widening of the Trans-Canada Highway, and the work in Salmon Arm is one of seven projects that will make up $140 million of the $650 million. The plan, which is supposed to become the blueprint for upgrades, shows four-laning a twokilometre stretch of highway from 10th Street SW to 30th Street SW. It would entail an upgrade to three intersections, construction of two new intersections, and 1.4 kilometres of new frontage roads. What’s missing? Only the most-requested upgrade that citizens have been making for more than 20 years. The Salmon River Bridge is a notoriously problematic section of the highway, the site of numerous accidents and near-misses. It is also an especially problematic bottleneck as traffic attempts to funnel through. You’d think the Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure would be well aware of this, and likely they are. So what could possibly be the reason for ignoring it in the preliminary plans? The bright light here, is that the ministry did conduct a consultation process with citizens and can no longer ignore the fact that the majority of citizens who took part want the bridge upgrade to be a priority. At Monday’s meeting, city council has also decided to send a letter emphasizing their desire for upgrades to the Salmon River Bridge conducted in conjunction with a flood assessment for the area and the addition of walkways connecting the First Nations lands with the city. Let’s hope the city keeps the pressure on. I’d like to see other organizations like the CSRD, Salmon Arm Chamber, The Economic Development Society and both our provincial and federal representatives weigh in as well. To think that it would be more than a decade before that bridge sees any improvement is simply ridiculous. In journalism circles the symbol -30- used to be written at the bottom of stories to denote the end. This often led to the joke that once you’d hit 30, you’d reached the end. Having now passed my 40th birthday, I can vouch that 30 is far from the end. My lovely co-workers were sure to point out my latest milestone both in print and on the Observer’s front window. This resulted in a wonderful number of well-wishes which made my day all the brighter. Thank you.

Editorial
Liquor store move impacts downtown Like it or not, liquor is a draw for consumers, especially at B.C. Government Liquor Stores. This is because unlike the private liquor outlets, prices tend to be lower and selection larger. This observation concurs with a report into the issue by the Consumer Association of Canada. While Salmon Arm has a wealth of private liquor outlets, there is only one B.C. government liquor store in city limits, located on Lakeshore Drive in the Shuswap Park Mall. This store has long been an anchor, not only for that development, but as a way to entice consumers into the heart of the city’s downtown core, resulting in spinoff business for the other retail establishments nearby.
So the news that the B.C. government liquor store will be moving out of the downtown core is a blow to those who have worked for so many years to keep Salmon Arm’s downtown a vibrant and economically thriving place. While private businesses are under no obligation to consider the greater good of the community when choosing their location, we believe this is a function of government. Both a majority of city council and Downtown Salmon Arm are supporting a reconsideration of the move pending consultation with the city. A B.C. liquor outlet is different from a private business, and we’d like to think they could treat our community differently than a private business might.

Accident victim identified By Tracy Hughes
OBSERVER STAFF
Police have identified the man who apparently drowned when his truck went over an embankment at Cruikshank Point and into Shuswap Lake. The body of Gurminder Singh Minhas, 30, of Grande Prairie, Alta. was discovered by an RCMP dive team submerged near the cab of the semi truck that went over an embankment and into Shuswap Lake west of Sorrento. There was no one else in the truck at the time of the crash. The body was removed from the lake at approximately 3 p.m. Tuesday, and the rig was later removed from the water. The trailer had Alberta licence
plates and the logo on the cab indicates the truck belongs to Syndicate Transport Ltd., a company based out of Calgary. RCMP investigations reveal the truck may have gone into the lake earlier than previously thought, possibly around 7:30 p.m. Monday, March 4. Police were alerted by a passing motorist who saw the trailer floating in the lake Tuesday at 6:30 a.m. The cab of the truck was submerged in 10 feet of water. Chase RCMP Cpl. Mark Skotnicki said police believe the weight shifted on the westbound truck, causing it to flip onto the barrier, where it went over the embankment and slid several metres.
The trailer, which had detached from the rig and floated downstream, was pulled from the water after Shuswap Search and Rescue crews were able to attach cables to the floating vehicle and pull it close enough to haul it out. Ministry of Environment officials assessed the site for spilled diesel fuel and other possible contaminants. A hazardous materials firm was called in and used an absorbent boom to contain diesel fuel in the area, but the ministry reports there does not appear to be an immediate environmental risk. The truck was transporting frozen meat, some of which was found floating in the lake.
Additional jail time issued for ‘Green Man’ By Tracy Hughes OBSERVER STAFF
The Salmon Arm man who gained notoriety as the “Green Man” in the Vancouver’s Stanley Cup riots, has had an additional 75 days of jail time added to his fivemonth sentence. The new jail time relates to a string of
charges based out of Calgary, where Comber also participated in a post-hockey game altercation. These charges included assault of a peace officer, mischief, theft, possession of a controlled substance and failing to attend court. These charges date to 2004 in Calgary
following a Calgary Flames game. Following his arrest for the Vancouver charges, Calgary police initiated the judicial proceedings against him, after Comber skipped out on the Alberta court dates. Comber, 38, sported green body paint and a mohawk haircut when he was alleged to have lit a stuffed bear on fire
and thrown it onto an overturned truck during the riot, which took place after the Vancouver Canucks lost to the Boston Bruins in the Stanley Cup finals on June 15, 2011. Comber was arrested in Salmon Arm in April 2012 after an investigation by the Vancouver Integrated Riot Investigation Team.

Cave remembered for service to city By Tracy Hughes OBSERVER STAFF
The man with the most experience in Salmon Arm’s local government died last Tuesday at age 86. Phil Cave spent 22 years serving on Salmon Arm’s municipal councils as an alderman, from January 1968 consecutively un-
til December 1990. At that time, Cave ran for the mayor’s position, but lost to Margaret Lund. He was noted for his common sense at the council table and his dedication to community. He was also known for his way with words. One of his memorable quotes was immortal-
ized in the Observer in coverage of a district budget meeting, “If you spend that much, you won’t have enough money left over to make leggings for a hummingbird.” While on council, Cave had a particular interest in the district’s public works and was also on the library board.

ARIES (March 21-April 19): The Universe is offering you the chance to unleash a side of you which you have kept under the rug. You are ready to let go of some unnecessary emotional burden without acting like the martyr, which will make you feel so much better. TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Renew your friendships and renew your dreams. You may uncover more meaningful qualities and a deeper bond with your pursued goals. You may want to go back to the initial plan you had once set, but not a new one. GEMINI (May 21-June 20): If you have failed in one of your endeavours or careers, this is your chance to redo it. Seek to recreate your identity that you once lost by tapping into your rooted fears. Believe in your abilities and accept yourself as you are. Success will come in most obscure ways. CANCER (June 21-July 22): If you are being nostalgic about a particular place such as your homeland, now you can revisit it. You will be reacquainted with your genuine self and a part of you which you have not dared to expose until now. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): You will be given another opportunity to resolve matters to shared money or settle an agreement over money that you once shared with someone close. Debts, loans and taxes will all come into full force this week. You may also reconnect with your past on a more soulful level. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): You are given the chance to renew your vows with your significant other. If your relationship hasn’t worked so far, you can start anew. You will long to heal your relationship and to bring it to another level of commitment that holds more compassion and acceptance of each other’s soul.

Protest against pesticides Ban sought: Salmon Arm doctor pans legislation.
By Barb Brouwer OBSERVER STAFF
More than 100 health-care providers say a licence to spray does not protect British Columbians from the harmful effects of toxic lawn and garden pesticides. Responding to the B.C. government’s proposed regulations to allow only licensed individuals to apply lawn and garden pesticides, the Canadian Association of Physicians for the Environment (CAPE) last week launched a campaign calling for a provincewide ban on the products. They say scientific studies show that people exposed to pesticides are at greater risk for cancer and neurological disease. Children are especially vulnerable and women exposed to pesticides are more likely to have a child with attention deficit disorder and reduced IQ. Endorsed by the David Suzuki Foundation and Environmental Defence, this campaign marks the first time doctors and nurses have partnered on this issue. The centrepiece of
the campaign is an open letter endorsed by more than 100 of them demanding a ban on the sale and use of lawn and garden pesticides, a letter that is appearing as a major advertisement in newspapers across the province. “The government suggests its proposed
a comprehensive prohibition was initiated in 2009 and where the law is working extremely well. Retailers are now selling non-toxic products and lawn-care firms are making good money offering pesticide-free services. Some are even creating new jobs because
Poisons don’t become benign just because the person using them has been instructed in their use.
Dr. Warren Bell AgAinst cosmetic pesticides
legislation will enhance public safety. We don’t agree,” say Gideon Forman, executive director of CAPE, and Warren Bell, the organization’s founding president, in a joint press release. “Pesticides pose very significant health risks for people and the environment – no matter who sprays them. Poisons don’t become benign just because the person using them has been instructed in their use.” Forman and Bell point to Ontario, where
organic landscaping is more labour-intensive than its chemical counterpart, says Bell. “Ontario’s ban is also proving to be very helpful environmentally,” say Bell and Forman, noting provincial research indicates that since implementation of the law, concentrations of lawn pesticides in urban streams dropped dramatically. “In some waterways, for example, the amount of 2,4-D weedkiller was down 94 per cent.”
BAG SALE
The campaign calls for the province to scrap the bill and legislate a true ban that would require both homeowners and lawn companies to use kidand pet-friendly, nontoxic products. Whether or not the Liberals are persuaded by the campaign, NDP Environment Critic Rob Fleming charged the province with ignoring science and an overwhelming desire by B.C. citizens to ban cosmetic pesticides. Fleming re-introduced legislation in the legislature last Thursday and made a promise to the people of B.C. that if elected May 14, “New Democrats will make the changes parents, physicians, cancer organizations, communities and the Union of B.C. Municipalities are calling for by taking decisive action on this serious issue.”

School property sales proceeding
By Tracy Hughes
observer sTAFF
The school district is moving forward with plans to sell eight properties within its boundaries pending approval of the Ministry of education. The board is expected to pass first readings of a series of bylaws allowing it to proceed with the sale of the properties, which include the defunct North broadview school, the current school board office on shuswap street, the former Mount Ida school, the North Canoe annex, the new Jackson annex, the south Canoe Centre, the former Ashton Creek school and vacant property at 4730 Fifth Ave. sW. Public hearings were held to explore any community concerns with these sales; however, there was minimal response. The shuswap 222 Air Cadets expressed concern as they currently lease space in the south Canoe Centre. There was also a request for the board to consider the importance of the now-defunct Ashton Creek school to that community. should the bylaws pass, the board will then forward this to the Ministry of education for approval before the bylaws can return for final readings, which are planned for April 9. At that point the properties could be put on the market.

SilverBacks face formidable Vees Playoffs: After comefrom-behind excitement, first home game versus Vees set for March 18. By winning four of their final five games – all of which were on the road and three of them in come-from-behind fashion, the Salmon Arm SilverBacks have won the right to face the defending RBC Cup national champion Penticton Vees. The ’Backs most recent results were a 5-4 overtime win in Trail where they again were behind by as many as three goals and a 5-3 win in Prince George where, for a change, they actually got out to a 3-0 lead on their way to victory. Friday’s victory in Merritt gave Salmon Arm the requisite points they needed to eliminate Trail from playoff contention. After falling behind 3-0 early in the second, Alex Jewell and Steven Iacobellis started a rally and Harlan Orr’s tying marker with seven minutes left was the one that ensured the crucial point.
“It was kind of a strange thing, to see a team going crazy on the bench when it’s a tie,” conceded SilverBacks head coach Scott Robinson. “Our bench was certainly aware; this team has been pointed at a goal for so long… to realize that goal with a tie was strange.” They didn’t have to settle for a draw though as Carter Lukenda popped the winner 30 seconds into the first overtime. Closing out the regular season against the Spruce Kings, Salmon Arm got first-period goals from Iacobellis, Josh Bowes and Orr on their way to the win. Jordan Levesque’s third-period tally proved to be the winner. “It was the exact opposite,” said Robinson of his team building a lead instead of clawing back from behind. “We played well throughout that game in what was

Off to playoffs: SilverBack Ryan Schwalbe puts the pressure on Centennials’ netminder Russell Sanderson during the ’Backs exciting 5-4 OT win in Merritt Friday. a mean-nothing game to both teams.” There won’t be any more of those with the playoffs beginning Friday in Penticton. The Vees won the season series 5-2 but five of the games were decided by one goal. Penticton did shut out the SilverBacks twice however. “They’re the defend-
ing national champions and all that comes with beating a team like that, we’re looking forward to the challenge,” said Robinson. “You can’t let them run all over you skill-wise… and not let them outnumber us on rushes. We need to keep them off the ice on the power play.” Beginning the play-
offs on the road is no big deal, says Robinson, as his team hasn’t played at Shaw Centre since Feb. 22 anyway. “We haven’t been at home for a couple of weeks, that’s fine,” he said. “Our next home game is going to be a good one. A couple more on the road won’t hurt us; we like it on the road.”
Adam Clark will start in net Friday in Penticton (7 p.m. faceoff) though Robinson is supremely confident in backup Angus Redmond should the need arise. The midseason pickup has a 2.59 goals-against average and .911 save percentage in nine games. Salmon Arm will
host Penticton Monday, March 18 and Tuesday March 19 for Games 3 and 4. Both games begin at 7 p.m. SilverBacks captain Brandon Mistal won the Bob Fenton Trophy as the Interior Conference’s Most Sportsmanlike Player. The last ’Backs player to win it was Conor Morrison in 2009.

Cooper speeds to super showing Bree Cooper shone as she represented the Shuswap Swimming Team at the Swim BC ‘AAA’ Short Course Provincial Championships in Victoria on the Feb. 28 to March 3 weekend, where more than 750 swimmers aged 18 and under competed. Cooper had a great meet, as she advancing to the finals for 15year-old girls in several events. Her swims were fast, eclipsing four team records, and she raced even faster than she did
at the Western Canadian National Championships in Saskatoon in February. Cooper advanced to the final of the 50-metre freestyle race where she placed eighth; to the final of the 200-m and 100-m breaststroke where she placed sixth and eighth respectively, and she narrowly missed the finals in the 200-m butterfly. Her time in the 200m breaststroke met the Swimming Canada Western National Qualifying time standard.

Ball paralyzes most golfers By Tracy Hughes OBSERVER STAFF
Golfers, even beginners, know what I’m talking about. You step up to the tee, especially the tee nearest to the clubhouse patio where everyone is watching. You give a few practice swings and they are smooth as silk. Then you step up to the ball – and shank it. This is where Hall Thomlinson, a CPGA professional instructor, comes in. Thomlinson is going to try and take that, albeit infrequent, nice practice swing and insert it into my actual game so that it reflects on my scorecard. So I accepted his offer to join his Ultimate Golf lessons, taking place in the Jackson gymnasium before the links are even free of snow. “Most golfers are slightly paralyzed by the presence of the golf ball,” explains Thomlinson.
“The ball-bound golfer swings to that ball, not through it. Ultimate Golf eliminates this problem, by eliminating the ball. In this way, the student has only one thought in mind – the swing.”
Indeed there isn’t a ball in sight at class. The group of us golfers, who range widely in size, shape and ability, content ourselves with sections of carpet to protect the floor from errant swings. Thomlinson points out that very few golfers swing the same at the tee as they do in practice. He also notes that
an effective swing takes 1.3 seconds to execute – too fast for the body to do a lot of planning. “The golf swing is not a thought-out process, it is a muscle reaction,” he says. Therefore, golfers rely on muscle conditioning when they swing. Condition the muscles for an effective swing and that becomes the body’s habit. Practise a bad swing (and there are a whole host of ways a swing can go wrong) and that’s the swing you will see on the course, especially when under pressure. So after a quick lesson on gripping the club, Thomlinson starts, not on our swing, but on our finish. By aiming for the perfect finish first, he rationalizes, you must have had a pretty decent swing to get there. So I attempt to channel my inner Ben Hogan, and stand posed, club raised, hips square and my mind’s eye

Exciting Midget Rec battle The stands were full and the hockey couldn’t have been more exciting. In the B final of the Midget Recreation playoffs on March 4, Salmon Arm Blackburn Excavating faced Salmon Arm Lakeside Insurance in a backand-forth contest that saw both teams take the lead twice. Both teams played with passion and pride. The game went to overtime thanks to Blackburn Excavating’s goalie Adel El Gazzar stopping a flurry of shots with less than 20 seconds remaining. Then Blackburn’s Jacob Reid scored the championship goal just five minutes into overtime for a 5-4 win. Blackburn Excavating’s players on the championship team were: Peter Weicker, Spencer Giandomenico, Jacob Reid, Dylan Dodge, Eric Brock, Wyatt Sewell, Joel Johnson Cameron Graham, Ste-
phen Kooistra, Adel El Gazzar, Chris Kovacs, Paul Matichuk, Max Barron, Jesse Ducklow (captain), Mel Charters and Nick Harrison, with coach Rick Kooistra.

Season opens on songwriters series By Barb Brouwer OBSERVER STAFF
T
he spring 2013 version of the popular Songwriter Showcase will launch Friday, March 22 at Shuswap Theatre. Well-known musicians Linz Kenyon and Gillian Cran are the hosts, who will welcome Betty Johnson and Herald Nix to the stage. Kenyon is a songwriter/playwright/performer who, as well as writing “rant and rave” songs about the state of the natural world, is a playwright for Caravan Farm Theatre. The creator of Caravan Farm Theatre’s Cowboy King and IOU Land, Kenyon is currently writing Black Horses with Caravan Farm Theatre’s former artistic director Estelle Shook, and is also working on Caravan Farm Theatre’s winter show for 2014. “I’ve never considered myself to be a political songwriter; I write rant and rave songs – but then, everything is political,” he says, reconsidering. In terms of his opinion and what he has to say in song, Kenyon looks back to a song he wrote 30 years ago, one he will perform at the songwriters’ showcase. Clearcut Trees is Kenyon’s lament to forest practices of the time, when ugly clear-cut blocks were the order of the day and garbage and oil cans were merely tossed aside or buried at the site. As a former logger and the son of one, he is not opposed to forestry, just wasteful practices that cause “absolute destruction” of the environment. Kenyon says he was surprised to discover his song had been posted on YouTube with pictures where logging has been protested. Kenyon’s partner on-stage and off, Gillian Cran, is a born-in-the-Shuswap musician, who plays cello in the Salmon Arm string orchestra and teamsters large horses at Caravan Farm Theatre. She also plays flute and sax, and has a brand new granddaughter named Charlie. Betty Johnson is known for her expressive voice and accomplished guitar playing. Her performances of acoustic jazz and blues are heightened by her songwriting abilities. Johnson is an alumnus of the George Ryga Centre where she was greatly encouraged by legends Bill Henderson and Roy Forbes to “get her work out there and don’t hold back – people want to hear your music.” She has shared the stage with Maria Dunn, Mae Moore, Ken Hamm, David Essig and rock band

Circle of song: (From left) Betty Johnson, Herald Nix and Linz Kenyon and Gillian Cran perform Friday, March 22 at Shuswap Theatre on Hudson. Chillwack. There are two words Johnson uses to describe songwriting – agonizing and amazing. Saving My Heart is her latest CD, which features Neil Fraser on guitar and Bill Lockie on bass. The CD was produced by Andrew Smith. Herald Nix has long been one of the most respected artists in the Canadian underground music scene. Years before people started talking about “alt country” and “Americana,” he was writing and playing music that drew on very deep roots. Nix’s guitar playing style is so personal it is almost impossible to categorize. Using fingers and slide together, he evokes bottleneck blues and pedal-steel styles. Like his songs, his music is simultaneously ancient and immediate. “We are hoping to build on the enthusiasm and
playing at the GRAND 100 Hudson Avenue
excitment from last year, and make this year’s series even more successful,” says creator and producer Kelly Hopkins of Silvercreek, whose intention is to create affordable, family-friendly musical events that spotlight local, professional songwriters and musicians. “The goal is to encourage and promote live, acoustic music, focusing on original songs and tunes and, in doing so, increase the local artists’ profiles and provide them with opportunities to further their careers.” Tickets to the Songwriters Showcase are $10 and are available at Acorn Music. The doors open at 7 p.m. and the showcase begins at 7:30. Refreshments are available at intermission. A portion of the proceeds will be donated to the Second Harvest Food Bank. The next two Songwriter Showcases in the spring series run April 26 and May 31.

This unique live show will take the audience on a musical memory tour. Andrea Anderson returns as Patsy Cline and two new characters, Patsy Montana and Loretta Lynn, and Adam Fitzpatrick returns as Elvis. Young Elvis is in the building first, taking the audience back to the 1950s when he first started singing. He later returns as he was in the ’68 Comeback Television Special. The show is rounded out by Roy Orbison, who will have you dancing in your seat and, always a crowd favorite, Hank Williams is making a special appearance. The Legends of Country and Rockabilly also features the talent of William Brookfield on double keyboard, guitar, banjo and vocals, Mike Melnichuk on stand-up bass, electric guitar and vocals and Gil Risling on guitar, banjo, vocals and portraying the characters of Willie Nelson and Roy Orbison. The show is written, produced and hosted by Lori Risling, who, with husband Gil, produces Shuswap Idol at the Salmon Arm Fall Fair every year. “As the original Louisiana Hayride featured up-and-coming artists, so will this show,” she says. “As a special treat, Shuswap Idol winner Jesse Mast will be performing an original song.” Mast is pursuing a career in music and has just completed recording a CD. “You will love his authentic country sound,” Risling says. “This incredible ensemble recreates one of the most influential shows in music history, transporting you back to that magical time

He will always be remembered by his camping buddies. Doug will be missed by his adoring pets Fly, Chase and Kesler the goose. Doug was a tireless worker. He was a baker for most of his life but his true passion was his family. There was never anything the family could ask of him that he would not do. This selflessness and generosity was meant for everyone, friends, family and strangers - anyone in need. Doug’s unique sense of humour kept people smiling even through the last days of his illness. On February 10, 2013 Doug rededicated his life to Jesus. He was so excited to have this opportunity to do this in front of his Lakeside Community Church family who have been such an extraordinary support to him and his family. A special thank you to Dr Plessis, Dr Black and the nursing staff at SLGH for the wonderful care Doug received. “Smiling he said as his last sigh was spent. I am so glad that for me He was sent. Whispered while low sunk the sun in the west, Lord I believe. Tell it now to the rest” For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only son, that who ever believes in him will not die but have everlasting life.

ANTHONY FRANCIS SINKELDAM April 8th, 1950 - March 3rd, 2013 With love and pride, we announce the passing of Anthony. Pride because, as a self-taught artist Anthony reached out to the world with his wonderful oil paintings, expressing his love and gratitude of and to this planet, speaking the language of his art saying to all that would but listen: “find peace here.” Through his art he has touched many lives. He left this world quietly, still knowing, even in times of pain and sorrow, beauty surrounds us. Anthony is survived by his children Jessica, Lyndon and Rodney, and, his friend and companion in life, Lee Christensen. The loss of Anthony will also be felt by many others, including friends and neighbours, some he knew for many years, some a few months and some only for a brief moment in time, when he may have offered help, a kind word or, simply his winning smile. Anthony was born in Amsterdam, Holland. He emigrated, with his family, to Canada in 1952, becoming a very proud Canadian. Upon arriving in Canada, his family settled in the Toronto area, in the Italian section, then later to the country where they became dairy farmers. Anthony enjoyed his studies; his passion was always art, which he began at age 5. His wish was to attend Art College, but times as they were, and being part of a hard-working family, upon graduation, Anthony worked at Eaton’s, where he learned the flooring installation trade. Then, being an adventurous young man, with a keen interest in the world he travelled for a year, creating and selling his paintings as he went, enabling him to see much of Europe. Later, Anthony moved to Australia where he resided for ten years. Missing Canada he returned to live in Vancouver, BC until, a one-time visit to the Cariboo convinced him the Cariboo suited him better. The following year he moved to the 108 Mile, Lac La Hache area, where he married and his children Lyndon and Jessica were born. While living in Lac La Hache he became well-known for his art. Many of which can be seen in homes and businesses in the area (as well as worldwide). Lionel’s fruit stand, in Lac La Hache bears Anthony’s beautiful painted sunflowers. Having an interest in history he took a course in building preservation and restoration, participating in the restoration of historic buildings in both, 108 Mile and Barkerville. He also enjoyed writing, short stories and poetry. He continued to reside in the Cariboo until 2009, 25 years. Anthony recently moved to Salmon Arm, BC where he once again became connected to the local “art scene”. He was happy in his new home town, enjoying the community and his new friends. He would have been pleased if you like, Google his name to see his art. Messages may be sent to northwinds@live.ca There will be no service at this time. Anthony, we wish you Peace in your new world.

Ross Street Plaza mosaic get approval but no extra cash By Lachlan Labere OBSERVER STAFF
A proposed public art project has received council’s seal of approval, but not approval for sealing. The Salmon Arm Arts Centre sought and received permission from city council to proceed with a mosaic tile mural public art installation on the
“I can do this project with what we’re applying for in grants,” said Kutschker. “What I was hoping, was that I could have this little bit of extra money to hire a local professional to do the
grouting and sealing. And that it is so that it’s easy to take care of for the next 50 years.” Coun. Chad Eliason put forward a motion to support the project, with the funding to
come form council initiatives. He suggested surplus funds might be found later. Apart from Mayor Nancy Cooper, however, the rest of council (Debbie Cannon ab-
sent) were opposed to kicking in the $1,800. Couns. Denise Reimer and Alan Harrison said they would not support the motion on principle, referring to a fee for service agreement pro-
posed by the arts centre that council agreed to at budget time. “I specifically remember asking the question at that time, at budget time, will you be back asking for
any more money for the next three years, and I was told that you wouldn’t be,” said Harrison. “I know it’s only a small amount of money, but it’s a matter of principle to me.”

According to a letter to the city from Shuswap District Arts Council director/curator Tracey Kutschker, the project is estimated to cost $14,000. A grant is being sought for $7,000, while $5,000 has been set aside in the arts council budget. Along with council’s approval to proceed with the project, Kutschker asked the city for $1,800 to go towards grouting/sealing.
Road closure
Canoe Beach Drive will be closed to through traffic between 70 Ave NE and 72 Ave NE until further notice. Rob Neiwenhuizen, director of engineering and public works, says the closure is a precaution due to signs of stress on the road from spring run-off. “There has been some signs of sloughing, so we don’t want to put vehicles on there until we complete a geotechnical assessment,” says Neiwenhuizen. “It’s typical for the area.” The geotechnical assessment will be completed later this week. Drivers are advised to choose an alternate route.
