CSRD supports White Lake concerns Logging: Ministry plans to proceed with harvesting plans approved in the ’90s. By Barb Brouwer MARKET NEWS STAFF

White Lake residents got support from directors at last week’s Columbia Shuswap Regional District board meeting but were angered the BC Forest Timber Sales officials were also allowed to speak without being on the agenda. White Lake resident Alf Davy spoke on behalf of the local association, explaining the group’s outrage at

Ministry of Forests, Lands and Natural Resource Operations plans to move forward with a logging plan that was originally approved in the late 1990s without communicating with the community. Davy said he had recently met with Forest Minister Steve Thomson, who agreed there should have been some communication and asked him to call after the board meeting to relay the board’s response.

“They don’t want to stop logging, but they want us to have some input,” said Davy of Thomson’s reaction. “I hope the board will at least say to us that they support us.” Board chair Dave Raven advised Davy the regional district does not have any role other than to offer moral support. But Area A Rural Revelstoke director Loni Parker said she believes it’s important for people to be made

aware of what’s happening in their own communities. “It may not be our jurisdiction, but I think their interests need to put forward,” she said. “I would like to support White Lake residents and if that requires a letter from us I would like to move that we send one.” Area D director René Talbot seconded the motion, which received unanimous agreement. Although not scheduled to appear before the board,

BC Timber sales woodland supervisor Colin Johnston was then permitted to address the board. He explained that while the cut blocks originally appeared in 1997, they also appeared in subsequent development plans in 2002. “They were open to public response at any time during that period and then again in the forest stewardship plan in 2006,” he said.

Plans consistent with LRMP

Shuswap Idol

“I think we have a pretty good sense of community feelings with regards to these blocks.” He says the community responded before the ministry had a “clear plan in mind” to take to the community. “We met with six representatives of the community, who purported to represent community interests,” Johnston said, noting the plan was to give these reps a questionand-answer document to take to the wider community. “Any comments generated from that were to come back to us and we would go to community meetings or go to individuals with concerns.”

“I agree the LRMP was a long process, but there was supposed to be monitoring and it is not happening.” -Rhona Martin, CSRD director

He said the ministry has tried to “make a light touch” into this operating area, meeting visual quality objectives sanctioned by the government and that it is part of the working forest as identified in Land and Resource Management Plan (LRMP) approved in 2001. Jeff Fukumoto, BC Timber Sales acting manager, described how the five-year process was sanctioned by the province to deal with resource conflicts. He said many groups representing all facets of the forest were involved in the process – environmental groups, fisheries, parks and recreation, trails and habitat protection, among others. “It was a long and arduous process to determine where forestry would take place,” he

galvanizing as clear-cut logging in front of one of their viewscapes,” she said. “I think both parties need to come together and I hope other ministries hear that communities need to have a voice.” Area C South Shuswap interim director Jack McInaly also criticized the lack of engagement with community. “This came out of the blue,” he said of the logging plans. “It’s only by accident the community found out about it.” Given the opportunity to have the last say, a visibly upset Davy expressed his anger. “We had no idea they would be here to make a presentation today that rebutted ours,” he said. “We did not come prepared for that.” Davy said the six people that attended the meeting referred to

by Johnston did not represent the community. He said the first meeting was devoted to dealing with private trespass issues and the second was supposed to include maps of the planned cut blocks. “They came out with outdated maps and they refused to have a public meeting because public meetings get too rowdy and rambunctious,” said Davy angrily. “We had our own public meeting and invited representatives from

tree sales and they refused to attend.. and they have given us misinformation.” Davy says White Lake residents assumed that when logging was not undertaken during a planned five-year period and nothing more was said, the cut was no longer in the plan. “I am actually offended they would come here today and give information that is false and misleading,” he said pointedly. White Lake resident

Hal Dyck, who applied to appear before the regional district, says the group was very happy with the board’s reaction. “Euphoric would be a good word – after Alf’s rebuttal. We were happy about CSRD passing a motion to write a letter of support to the ministry,” he said. “We were good with everything that happened, but we’re continuing to go to higher levels of government.”

Camping took a turn for the worst for a Pitt Meadows couple last Thursday. A man, a woman and a dog were driving from Seymour Arm on what they thought was the road toward Scotch Creek, says Shuswap Search And Rescue search manager John Schut. “Their pickup had a mechanical problem, went off the road and rolled a couple of times,” says Schut. “They managed to get up bank and walk down to where they could get cell phone service.”

They called an ambulance because the woman had sustained a neck injury. “The ambulance couldn’t find them,” says Schut, noting SAR got the call for help at 10 p.m. Thursday, Aug. 16. “We went up Scotch Creek Forest Service Road and found them quite quickly.” Schut says the ambulance had headed up the road past Adams Lake Lumber. “The ambulance got lost, we had to look for them but they found themselves and radioed back to headquarters,” says Schut. “In their defence, their cell

phone had a GPS co-ordinate that put them on the northeast end of Adams Lake.” Schut says the eight SAR members who responded to the call were heading to the same location, but took the south approach up the Scotch Creek Forest Service Road. SAR members called another ambulance, which transported the couple to hospital in Kamloops. “We put a cervical collar on her and did our best to stabilize her,” says Schut. “The call finished at about 3 a.m. and one of the members is looking after their dog.”

Gallery celebrates 75 years By Cavelle Layes MARKET NEWS STAFF

The Salmon Arm Art Gallery Association threw a 75th birthday bash to commemorate the years they have been serving the city and the Shuswap. Toronto resident, Ann Gotfryd, was in Salmon Arm visiting a friend when someone suggested she go check out the celebration at the local art gallery. “It is just such a lovely idea to celebrate the building and the people in the community together,” she said. “The artwork is fantastic, just absolutely inspiring.” Salmon Arm resident John Maxwell has been to just about every event the gallery has hosted over the last few years. “Mostly because my wife is an artist and I

don’t have a choice,” he joked. Despite being a veteran in the art scene, Maxwell says he thoroughly enjoyed the artwork. “The display is very, very impressive – a special getaway,” he said “We have a lot of very talented artists in the Shuswap.” The event attracted numerous people who seemed very pleased with the displays. Refreshments were provided as well as a birthday cake to mark the occasion. As a continuation of the 75th birthday theme, all guests in attendance who had, or were yet to celebrate their 75th birthday this year received a gift of their own. Piano music filled the gallery as visitors mingled, sharing stories of past show-

THE SALMON ARM

SILVERBACKS SPOTLIGHT A boy playing with and against men, often the story of the average 16 year old rookie in the BCHL; and this past season it was no different for SilverBacks forward and Vernon native Alex Gillies. The now-17 year old forward who carries a huge grin as often as he does a hockey bag says muscle has been the focus of his off-season “I’ve been on the ice 2-3 times a day over the last month and before that I was building muscle and adding weight with a trainer. I’ve also been doing some boxing - it’s a lot of fun.” Gillies’ view of this SilverBacks roster can be broken down with a few words “Depth; we should be a strong team, especially from the back end up.” Ten goals and eighteen points were the break-down of his inaugural season of Junior ‘A’ hockey and, while Gillies was pleased with his “Work ethic, I was willing to do whatever the coach needed from me.” Gillies says if he could go back a year and give himself some sage advice, it would be to, “Play with conﬁdence; it helps so much to have conﬁdence.

OPINION Fire risk fuels need for extreme caution If you’re having a hard time keeping your lawn from frying in this heat, just imagine how fire crews feel trying to battle flames roaring through forests and fields. It’s obviously hot and everything is dried out, making for some extreme conditions. Fire ratings across the Kamloops Fire Centre are high, with spots of extreme. So it’s no surprise that a campfire ban has been issued effective today. The ban comes just days after a small grass fire spread rapidly up the hillside next to The Rise Tuesday, threatening a couple of homes. And it also follows last Wednesday’s fire in Becker Park. Anyone witnessing the fires, especially The Rise blaze, knows how much manpower went into them. It wasn’t just one fire department, but three, plus wildfire crews from across the region who came in to lend a hand. Day one of the fire saw 22 firefighters, three helicopters and two air tankers. Overnight, 20 firefighters continued to snuff it out and 40 took over for them the following morning. The ban serves as one more avenue to help keep firefighting resources from being spread too thin. Crews are needed to respond to naturally-caused fires, not careless human-caused ones. In this day and age, with all of the knowledge we have around fire safety, and particularly with the 2003 wildfires in mind, there is no excuse for human-caused blazes. Sadly, they are still a reality. On average, 40 per cent of the province’s fires are human-caused. That is exactly why campfire bans are necessary. So if you were planning on cuddling around the campfire this summer and are now a little soured by the ban, remember, it is our own carelessness that caused the ban. -Vernon Morning Star

The government needs to make time (Part one of a two part series) It is hard to turn on the television, listen to the radio or open a newspaper these days without someone going on about the proposed Enbridge oil sands pipeline. The Northern Gateway Project, as it is formally referred to, is an estimated $5.5 billion mega-project that would ultimately involve the construction of two parallel, 1,150-kilometre pipelines across our province, from the tar sands in northern Alberta to Kitimat. Proponents of the pipeline point out that the project would add an estimated $270 billion to the economy of the nation (over 30 years), while opponents are equally quick to point out that the northern coastal waters of B.C. present an extremely risky environment for tanker traffic. Then there’s the threats to the environment arising from air pollution, ballast discharge, potential terminal accidents during loading and discharge, and most significantly, risk of oil spills from accidents involving tanker

THE GREAT OUTDOORS James Murray ships. It should be noted that approval of the project would require lifting a 34-year-old federal moratorium on crude oil tanker traffic in BC’s inside passageways, and that transportation would involve as many as 10 tankers per week travelling 100 kilometres through B.C.’s inside passage and then another 140 kilometres up a fjord to Kitimat. One certainly has to wonder if all the risk is worth the gamble. The federal government has stated that risk to the environment will be assessed by a three-person Enbridge Northern Gateway Project Joint Review Panel which, according to a press release from the National Energy Board, will provide “an open and transparent forum for all

hearing participants to make their view known.” While Prime Minister Stephen Harper has said the fate of the proposed Enbridge oil sands pipeline will be based on science and not politics, one must then wonder about how easily any environmental assessment can be achieved in light of the recent cuts to the Department of Fisheries and Oceans. Documents filed with the National Energy Board show that the environmental review panel assembled to study the Northern Gateway Project has asked the DFO for risk assessments for all bodies of water crossed by the proposed pipeline. DFO responded to these requests with a five page letter (dated June 6, 2012) stating that they “have not (yet) conducted a complete review of all proposed crossings,” and “are unable to submit a comprehensive list as requested… however, this work will continue and, should the project be approved, our review will continue into the regulatory permitting phase.”

The real problem here lies in the fact that the federal government recently sent out letters to 92 habitat staff members in British Columbia telling them that their positions will be cut – 32 of them will be laid off outright – effectively reducing the department in B.C. to half the staff it had a decade ago. On top of that, all but five of the province’s fisheries field offices are being eliminated, including the offices in Prince George and Smithers, which would have likely taken the lead in monitoring the effects of the pipeline. Even former federal fisheries minister David Anderson questions the DFO’s ability to provide adequate scientific information, especially given the Dec. 31, 2013 deadline. “Department scientists simply don’t have time to complete any substantial scientific study of the project” says Anderson. “You can’t do these studies on the spur of the moment. It takes time.” Maybe the government needs to find the time.

B.C. VIEWS Tom Fletcher VICTORIA â&#x20AC;&#x201C; The B.C. governmentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s emergency committee on timber supply has produced its report, but it leaves many of the big questions unanswered. Can the Burns Lake sawmill, destroyed by fire last winter, be given enough timber to rebuild? Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s likely, committee members concluded, if areas that are currently considered â&#x20AC;&#x153;marginally economicâ&#x20AC;? are harvested. With nearly half the pine in that region dead from beetle infestation, and much of the better timber already cut, that means harvesting areas that would produce only about two thirds of the volume that is currently considered economical to log. Will eight more sawmills have to close once the beetle-killed timber becomes too degraded to cut in the next few years? Committee members hold out hope that

extending the cut to less economic timber stands can reduce this impact as well. But with the current cut far above historical levels to maximize beetle-kill harvest, some industry contraction seems inevitable. All this depends on adequate forest inventory and investment in replanting, fertilizing and provision of additional roads and power lines that would allow access to timber and potential bioenergy development. And that is where the political fight lies ahead. The timber supply committee delivered a unanimous report, despite the harsh divisions between the B.C. Liberal and NDP members who serve on it. NDP forest critic Norm Macdonald, vice chair of the committee, agreed it did good work during the seven months it has toured affected areas of the B.C. Interior. But he said the roots of the problem go back a decade, to when the B.C. Liberals started reducing support for forest health just as the beetle epidemic was spreading. Ten years ago the government removed the obligation for the province to reforest areas affected by disease and fire. This was not

only at the peak of the epidemic, it was one year before devastating wildfires raced through the Interior in the summer of 2003. â&#x20AC;&#x153;In 2002, the government removed its obligation to replant those areas, and cut the budget by 90 per cent,â&#x20AC;? Macdonald told me. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The three-year budget thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s in front of us is keeping on the downward slide, and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not what people in communities are saying is the answer. So that has to change.â&#x20AC;? The opposition, the auditor general and various forest experts have been blasting the government for the degraded state of the timber inventory, at a time when environmental changes have been sweeping. Steve Thomson, minister of the newly amalgamated forests, lands and natural resource operations ministry, points to the urgent efforts to upgrade the governmentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s detailed picture of the state of the forests, so it can consider new cutting, planting and fertilizing efforts. But thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s no denying that he came to the job in a crisis that will take more spending in the future, and he will have a hard time finding it as Finance Minister

Kevin Falcon looks to balance the books for the 2013 election. If nothing else, the pine beetle epidemic has forced the B.C. government to consider some of the intensive forest management that we hear about in Scandinavia, one of those places that supplies B.C. with wood furniture. And it has prompted renewed interest in offering new forest tenures to aboriginal communities with unresolved resource claims. Under current law, the government can only direct award new forest tenures to aboriginal communities. So part of the committeeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s proposed solution is to â&#x20AC;&#x153;expedite negotiationsâ&#x20AC;? with the Burns Lake First Nations to give them a chance to harvest some of the marginally economic forest areas that remain.

Survey gathers input on palliative care By Barb Brouwer MARKET NEWS STAFF

Just one week remains for members of the public to have their say on palliative/ end-of-life care in the Shuswap. A multi-agency team is looking for ways to improve care and is asking residents to complete a survey now and attend a public forum to be held in November. Recommendations that result from this process will be assessed by a regional group comprised of Interior Health, the Division of General Practice North Okanagan (a physicianâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s group) and the prov-

ince before being forwarded to the Ministry of Health for possible funding. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Palliative care has been identified as an issue in the Shuswap,â&#x20AC;? says Dr. Adele Preto, a member of the local group. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They asked us to isolate where the problems are and where improvements can be made.â&#x20AC;? Preto says that includes assessing the level of care, finding the gaps and getting input from everyone involved â&#x20AC;&#x201C; doctors, nurses, hospice workers and members of the public â&#x20AC;&#x201C; to arrive at best-care palliative practice. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We need to know

what we do right and we also need to know where we can improve and come up with an action plan,â&#x20AC;? she says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The goal is to help people and their families live as well as possible until death.â&#x20AC;? President of the Shuswap Hospice Society, Preto serves on the local working committee with GP Joan Bratty, Renee Roberge, Interior Health manager community integrated health services, Sharon Whitby also from Interior Health, Hospice Society board member Claire Scott and Tracy Kirkman, secretary of the Divisional General Practice North Okana-

gan Shuswap. Preto says good palliative care can be given anywhere and people need to come on-board now. The survey to assess community opinion is available in local doctorsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; offices, the outpatient lab/community care office at the top of Tank Hill and online at www.surveymonkey. com/s/shuswappcare. There is an opportunity to express both kudos and concerns regarding hospice care, to present suggestions for improvements and to get involved in a community forum. The deadline for survey completion is Aug. 31.

The numbers were down, but if smiles, energetic dancing and wild applause were any indication, those who attended this year’s Roots and Blues Festival got their money’s worth. Some 25,581 walked through the festival gates on the weekend, compared to 2011’s gate of 27,405. As usual, Saturday’s crowd was the largest, with 9,114 in attendance. Some 8,042 showed up for Friday night’s slate and 8,425 attended Sunday. “Almost every performer has come up to me to say they’ve never been to a better festival than this one,” said Hugo Rampen, artistic director. “I can’t remember which one it was, but I asked one of them what we could do better, and he said ‘nothing, you’re cutting edge; everyone else has to catch up to you.’” Pleased the festival rocked the same good vibes as last year, Rampen said Roots and Blues has developed into a full-family festival, with everything from infants carried in their parents’ arms, to the elderly slowly making their way about with canes or walkers and a number of people in

wheelchairs. And Rampen’s satisfaction with how the event unfolded extended beyond the fairground site. “I am incredibly happy with the Routes and Blues and the Music Crawl,” he said of both highly successful pre-festival outreach programs. “The venues were full and people were enjoying themselves – they’re important events for the community.” It was congratulations all round as the Salmon Arm RCMP praised the event. “(We) wish to congratulate Roots and Blues organizers for a well-run event,” says Staff Sgt. Kevin Keane, head of the Salmon Arm detachment. RCMP responded to approximately 20 calls for service directly related to the festival, which included minor theft, a missing person, assisting security in removing some unruly patrons, fireworks and some youth issues.

in the crowd was good – lots of smiling faces and great acts.” Kieken said he is always happy to hear the rave reviews the army of more than 900 volunteers receive from the performers. “I think that’s one of our assets,” he said. “That’s about eight per cent of our population.”

Cuff the Duke fuses country and rock By Cavelle Layes MARKET NEWS STAFF

Cuff the Duke brought some countryrock flavour to the stage at the Roots and Blues festival. The Ontario-based band is just over a month away from releasing their latest album Union, a companion album to Morning Comes which was released almost one year ago. Due on the stand Oct. 2, Union has a few new twists, says Wayne Petti, the groupâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s lead singer. However, he ensures that their same signature sound, best described as a sort of country/rock fusion, is still strongly present throughout the album with a few major differences. One of these changes is that the group has left behind the acoustic sounds heard in Morning Comes and have replaced them with a little more of an electric mix. The theme of the album has also transformed into something much different, says Petti. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Our last recordâ&#x20AC;Ś was sort of a little more doubtful, a little more retrospective, a little more uncertain in its lyrical themes. This

one is a little more optimistic in looking forward and having accepted a lot of things that we were questioning in that last record. Just sort of a continuation of that. That is why we called it Union as well. It kind of felt like it was sort of a coming-together of the band. â&#x20AC;&#x153; The band has also connected the albums through their artwork, making the transformation visible. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The previous album cover was kind of abstract,â&#x20AC;? says Petti of the illustrations by band bassist Paul Lowman. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The art on Union, however, is much more neat and simple. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It is just a nice way to unify the albums visually as well as sonically.â&#x20AC;? The band has transformed much over the years, but many of their influences remain the same. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We listened to a lot of music our parents did. We all really like The Byrds and that era,â&#x20AC;? says Petti. â&#x20AC;&#x153;That kind of music with good songs and great playing is something we all gravitate to and, I guess, try and emulate as much as we can.â&#x20AC;? Petti describes writing a song that starts off sounding country

# Cuff The Duke band members Wayne Petti and Francois Turenne ponder questions during an interview. and will come out the other end something completely different after everyone else had their hands on it. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Everyone brings their own elements and I think that for us is what ultimately is the greatest influence to the songwriting,â&#x20AC;? he says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If I recorded it on my own, it would sound nothing like it does after the guys play on it.â&#x20AC;? The band arrived in Salmon Arm on Friday to take in the Roots and Blues festival as well as perform a set of their own Sunday night. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We were able to walk around and check everything out. It was greatâ&#x20AC;? says Petti, who was particularly taken by the water spritzers. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Every festival should

have them, they should be made mandatory.â&#x20AC;? The group took part in the songwriters workshop Sunday at the Barn Stage. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We were exposed to some awesome singers that we never heard before, they had some really nice voices so that was cool.â&#x20AC;? says Turenne. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It is not everyday that Cuff The Duke performs with a reggae band. Petti, who has taken part in workshops of this sort before, agreed that everything went great, saying they were able to take a lot away from the session. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Sometimes they just go really well from a musicians standpoint, where everyone is just getting along and everyone plays when they should. Today was

a great example of that. Where people felt comfortable they would come in and play, and if they didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t they just sat out.â&#x20AC;? It is unclear what direction the band will take in the future, says Petti, who believes as long as they continue to challenge themselves and keep their goals in mind, theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re heading in the right direction.

DJ breaks new ground with every project By Martha Wickett

cut up anything I could find – my dad’s classical albums.” And what about the

MARKET NEWS STAFF

Trained in classical piano, trained as an elementary school teacher, he might seem an unlikely candidate for a scratch DJ. But, not so. Since 1996 when he became the first North American Artist signed to UK label Ninja Tune, Kid Koala’s fame and accomplishments just keep growing. The creative dynamo performed at the Salmon Arm Roots and Blues Festival this past weekend, drawing an appreciative high-energy crowd to the Barn stage Saturday night. Salmon Arm was just one stop on a hectic tour that took him to San Bernadino, Calif to perform with Deltron 3030 immediately following Roots and Blues, then on to England, back to California and then to New York City, all before the end of this month. His September and October bookings are just as busy. Some of the gigs are solo DJ sets, some are with Deltron 3030, the group which includes rapper Del the Funky Homosapien and producer Dan the Automator. The fall schedule is mostly his Vinyl Vaudeville Tour to promote his new “12 bit Blues” album, which features “Kid Koala and his Incredible Dancing Machines.” Always breaking new ground, Kid Koala’s promotional material describes the show as a “one-of-a-kind spectacle featuring: • Puppets: Be amazed by the brand new state-of-theart robotic back up singer puppets. • Dancing girls: Be mesmerized by the sultry fan dances of Kid Koala’s dancing girls. • Music: Hear Kid Koala classics as well as new tracks from the 12 bit Blues being performed live by Kid Koala on 2 x SP1200s (drum machines) and 3 x turntables. • Robots: See the almost life-size articulated Nufonia

Kid Koala tag? That started from a sugary drink his mother used to buy, he says. Because of

the empty bottles everywhere, his friends started calling him Koala Kid – and it stuck.

Kid Koala’s projects, tours and music can be found at http://kidkoala. com/.

#Scratch DJ artist Kid Koala performs on stage during a workshop at the 20th annual Salmon Arm Roots and Blues Festival held over the weekend. Must Fall and Space Cadet robots dance to the beat. • Giant cardboard turntable: Watch the crew assemble a giant cardboard working gramophone on stage right before your very eyes. • Parlor games: Win prizes by playing 12 bit Blues bingo. And the funky roulette wheel of awesomeness.” Just as wildly creative, Kid Koala’s previous big project was his Space Cadet graphic novel, which was awarded a gold medal by the Independent Book Publishers. With another unique approach, he presented it on a sold-out tour as the Space Cadet Headphone Concert and Gallery. Sitting in inflatable ‘space pods’ in a kind of pop-up planetarium, the audience listens to the show through individual headphones, while Kid Koala brings it to life via several turntables and a piano. One of his focuses and favourite things these days is writing film scores. He is honoured to have been working with director Rian Johnson; most recently he did tracks for the new futuristic thriller, Looper. Kid Koala – or Eric San offstage – grew up in Vancouver but has lived in Montreal for 20 years. He and his spouse Corinne, a set designer and model maker, design his shows

together. They’ve also created two daughters, Mabel and Ruby. Although his music and illustrations appeal to younger audiences as well as old, they’re not meant for children. He describes his first two books as heavy-handed, melancholy stories. “Musically, I enjoy stuff that speaks to any generation – people don’t give kids enough credit,” he adds. Saturday night’s Blues stage audience – mostly adults – loved Kid Koala’s remix of the Yo Gaba Gaba children’s show theme song. At one time Kid Koala wanted to work on the Muppet Show, but his mother suggested he study something with more of a fall-back plan. He studied elementary education, but music remained key. His formal musical education began at age four when he began taking piano lessons. At 12 he learned about scratching, which involved experimentation, not instruction. “That’s the thing with scratching – it’s always been a release for me. If I’m feeling angry, go scratch it out. If I’m sad, go scratch it out... Try to tell your story.” His comfort zone or “ground zero” is the turntable, he says. “These days I have a record cutter in my studio. In the old days I’d

It’s salsa season

Bulten, holding her son Bjorn – in ear protectors, listens to the music during the 20th annual Roots and Blues Festival held over the weekend at the fairgrounds.

WELL For me a fresh tomato off the vine is one of the best parts of summer. This time of year tomatoes are in abundance, and one of my favourite ways to use them is in salsa. Salsa made with fresh, locally-grown ingredients is so much tastier than the store-bought variety and it can be a nutritious snack. Tomatoes are low in sugar and calories and are a good source of vitamin C, potassium and fibre. They are also a great source of the antioxidant called lycopene, which is thought to help prevent prostate cancer. Lycopene is more readily absorbed from cooked tomatoes, so cooking and canning salsa is a good way to preserve tomatoes for the winter months. The one nutrition downfall to salsa is that it can be high in sodium, but if you’re making your own you can control the amount of salt you use. Fresh herbs and spicy peppers provide so much flavour that excess salt is unnecessary. Here is a fresh salsa recipe that makes a great appetizer or can be served on fish or chicken: • Two cups fresh roma tomatoes, diced; • One red pepper, roasted and diced; • One cup black beans (optional); • 1/2 cup red onion, diced; • 1/3 cup cilantro, chopped; • Two limes, juiced; • ½-1 jalapeño, seeds removed (use jalapenos as per your heat preference); • 1 tsp cumin, salt to taste. Roast the red pepper by placing under the broiler. Allow the skin to blacken and crack, using tongs to turn frequently. You want to blacken the skin but not burn the flesh. When the pepper is black on all sides remove from the oven and place in a paper bag or a bowl and cover with plastic wrap. Allow the pepper to sit for at least five minutes before peeling off the blackened skin and removing the core and seeds. Chop the cooled pepper and the rest of the ingredients and combine with cumin and salt to your taste. Don’t feel like making salsa but need a quick way to use up extra tomatoes? You can try roasting them with garlic, onions and a little salt and pepper. Small tomatoes such as cherry or grape, can be roasted whole. Larger tomatoes can be halved or quartered. Place washed tomatoes on a baking sheet covered with tin foil, drizzle with olive oil and roast at 450˚ F for twenty to forty minutes, until the tomato skins have popped and are browning. Serve as is with fresh herbs on pasta or put in the blender and puree into a sauce (drain off some of the excess liquid first).

SPORTS Big journey to learn from idol By Sarah Kyllo MARKET NEWS STAFF

Without a doubt, 11-year-old Isak Thilander travelled the farthest to attend the Sicamous Hockey School this summer. All it took was a halfhour drive to Stockholm from his home in Sigtuna, Sweden, a nine-hour flight to Chicago, a two-hour flight to Calgary and a sixhour drive to Sicamous. The reason for this arduous journey to participate in the hockey school: it offered an opportunity to finally meet his hockey idol – Nashville Predators’ star defenceman and Sicamous’ own, Shea Weber. Travelling with his mother, Jane, father, Claes, and sister, Vilma, this was Isak’s first trip to Canada, and one the up-and-coming defenceman will never forget. “It felt strange, but it is a big thing for me. A great thing,” says Isak of meeting Weber at the camp last Wednesday, adding that he will likely have some jealous friends back home. He didn’t, however, forget to grab an autograph for his good friend Adam.

Isak says the Olympic gold medalist was not like he expected, commenting that Weber was very humble and easy to talk with. “He was much nicer and he spent more time with the players,” he says, laughing when he recalls Weber giving his best shot at Swedish, saying “huré läget?” or “what’s up?” Weber says meeting a player like Isak is a rewarding experience for him as well. “It’s special to get to meet an aspiring hockey player who wants to play in the NHL and has come all this way,” says Weber. “It obviously means a lot to Isak so I hope this is a good experience and he wants to come back again someday.” If there is any advice Weber can give to Isak, or any young player, he says it is to “work hard.” “Obviously, all the kids here love to play hockey and if you work hard and stay determined, you never know what can happen,” he says, adding the Sicamous Hockey School is an outstanding camp to attend. “The instructors are great, the players get

this experience for a long time,” he says, adding that it was “awesome” to take shooting tips from one of the best. “He said you have to practise a lot before you can get good at it,” says Isak of Weber. And what else will Isak take away from the camp? Claiming the title of “hardest working player” on Wednesday and the very hockey stick Weber played with out on the ice. When he talks about this, he simply grins ear to ear.

Council refuses to waive city’s tax penalty By Lachlan Labere MARKET NEWS STAFF

A single mother’s appeal for forgiveness of her municipal tax penalty failed to sway city council. At their Aug. 13 meeting, council received a letter from Wanda Matys, who had attempted to pay off her municipal taxes this year on the July 3 deadline, but in the process was told her debit card payment had been declined. “I immediately drove to the bank to clarify the matter, and I received the required amount in cash,” writes Matys. “I quickly returned to city hall; unfortunately, I was five minutes late and was not allowed to enter the building to pay.” Matys was subsequently charged the 10 per cent late fee, push-

ing her bill up $300 to just over $2,600. “As a single mother, I value very penny and feel that it is unfair to pay such a huge penalty,” says Matys. Coun. Denise Reimer said the city is in the customer service business and, in this case, should make an exception to the rule. She made a motion for council to refund Matys the 10 per cent. But city administrator Carl Bannister strongly recommended against this. He explained the city advertises the tax deadline date extensively, and that each year there are people in various circumstances whose taxes are late. Come this year’s due date alone, there was $1.7 million in outstanding taxes, said Bannister, with $36,000 in tax-

es found in the city’s mail box the day after the deadline. “So staff would not recommend that course of action be taken either because we feel it’s not a city error in this case and we need to be concerned about equity to the taxpayers in general, all taxpayers,” said Bannister. Not supporting the motion, Coun. Debbie Cannon said everyone knows when taxes are due and residents have to plan ahead. Coun. Alan Harrison noted that if council forgave Matys’ penalty, the difference would have to be shouldered by the rest of the taxpayers. “I don’t think all the rest of the taxpayers should be subsidizing the predicament this person finds herself in,” said Harrison. “As a tax-

S A V E

payer, because this person is late, along with many others, I don’t think others need to be responsible for that.” Reimer’s only supporter was Mayor Nancy Cooper, who focused on the fact Matys had made the attempt to pay and returned to city hall with the money. But a majority of council upheld the city’s position. Later in the meeting, during answer and question period, Matys approached council to say she was very disappointed with their decision. She reiterated that she is a single mother who struggles like many, living from paycheque to paycheque. “I was hoping you would make an exception to the rule,” said Matys, “that you would take the human factor under consideration.”

TRANSMISSION FLUID EXCHANGE SERVICE: YES IT’S A REAL SERVICE Part 2 of a 2 part series

ver time, the little “hooks” in the oil wear out, through a process known as shear. When shear occurs, the transmission will begin to slip and generate huge amounts of heat. It won’t be long before the transmission is damaged from excessive temperatures. When you have the transmission serviced normally, it replaces only a part of the worn-out fluid. The rest is left in, which can allow the transmission to slip and wear. A fluid exchange service replaces nearly all of the fluid in the transmission, which helps the transmission clutches hold tigher. This reduces heat, and can keep the transmission working for years to come. The best type of transmission service includes both the basic filter replacement and a fluid exchange service. The filter replacement service allows the technician to examine the material in the sump, to identify potential problems and make educated recommendations for your transmission. Then the fluid exchange replaces the worn fluid, so your transmission can have a reasonable chance to last for many years. In fact, most technicians will readily admit that if you have your cars automatic transmission serviced every two years or so, you’ll probably never need the transmission rebuilt, as long as you own your car. That’s a worthwhile service investment by any standards!

Chase projects in focus

School District No. 73

Village: Several improvements under consideration.

School Bus Drivers, Chase BC

Village of Chase administrative officer Joni Heinrich gave an update recently on village projects in the works. Public works supervisor Pat Regush says one project in particular which has been years in the planning is the water treatment plant. The long-awaited approval of the Screening Level Environmental Assessment report that Western Economic Diversification, the federal funding partner, required for the well portion of the project, has been received. This is considered by staff a big step toward funding the project. Originally, water was going to be taken only from the river and treated, but it was deemed important by the village that it should also be able to access water via a well that draws water from an aquifer in case the surface water source were at risk. Because of the scope change between the two intake systems, the federal government required preparation of a screening level environmental assessment report. The well would have to be approved and drilled before the plant itself could be constructed. With approval on the federal side, village engineers are moving

ahead getting quotes for well drilling and finalizing the design of the plant. Manufacturing the components which make up the membrane part of the plant requires a lot of lead time prior to placement in a newly constructed building. Tender documents will be prepared for the construction of building.

Free WiFi? A proposal for the village to provide free WiFi in both Memorial and Centennial parks was considered by council. It was agreed, with staff’s recommendation, that more than one quote should be sought for the service. More research is required to determine whether the provision of the service would be a significant contribution to bringing more people into the community.

Cottonwood Street Council wishes to proceed with upgrades to Cottonwood Street; however, due to the expense of upgrades estimated at more than $700,000, funding must be planned. If council wishes to proceed in 2013, the village will have to borrow funds to pay for the project. It’s considered an important project for a

couple of reasons, as increasing the size of the water lines on Cottonwood will ensure better water flow for fire fighting if a major fire were to occur at either of the schools. In addition, it is the intention of the village to install a sidewalk on one side of Cottonwood for children walking to and from school. Proper storm water management would be installed (underground pipes), in addition to the sidewalks, with repaving also a necessity. Council will be discussing this project again in September to see if there is still the appetite for borrowing the funds to proceed with the project in 2013. Elector approval would have to be sought to borrow substantial funds to be repaid over a long term.

Beach volleyball Cost estimates for beach volleyball continue to come in. It is

likely that the costs would prevent the project from being done in 2012, and that it will be deferred to council’s 2013 budget deliberations.

Community hall The village has applied for a $439,000 grant through the Gas Tax Agreement’s General Strategic Priorities Fund. The funding will be needed to upgrade Chase Community Hall to current standards. An application decision is expected this September after the Union of BC Municipalities conference. In the meantime, council had budgeted some funds in 2012 for small upgrades to the hall. Staff is gathering quotes on various small projects such as lighting upgrades, exterior doors, flooring in the downstairs kitchen and one other meeting room.

#Tai Chi is practised at the Chase Community Hall on Mondays. Lessons begin Thursday, Sept. 13.

It takes discipline to learn any new regime, but Chase Tai Chi instructor Judy MacKenzie assures that it is possible to learn the 108 move-set of Taoist Tai Chi in three to four months. A group practises Tai Chi weekly at the Chase Community Hall. Thursdays are for beginners to learn the 108 moves that make up a set. Mondays are for those who know the moves, wanting to practise what they have learned. Tai Chi is learned by doing. Instructors demonstrate a move, repeat the move with the whole group, then watch students as they repeat it. Anyone can learn, no matter their age or physical condition. There is no special type of clothing, just loose fitting for comfortable

A way to cultivate body and mind is provided through the flowing movements, serving as a moving meditation that reduces stress. Even those with advanced chronic conditions or those confined to a wheelchair, can practise Taoist Tai Chi. Regular practise of the set and associated exercises has been shown to improve numerous illnesses. Developing balance and coordination are part of the learning process and the benefits of practice.

LONGDO, DOROTHY GENEVIEVE With deep sadness we announce the passing of our beloved mother and wife, Dorothy Genevieve Longdo, in Shuswap Lake General Hospital on August 10th, 2012 with her loving husband at her side. Born in Ribstone, Alberta on August 14th, 1928, Dorothy lived a full and rewarding life; she is remembered for her great outlook on life and the love of her family. She will be remembered as a dedicated teacher who was passionate about her young students. Dorothy is survived by her husband, Vernon Longdo of Salmon Arm; her daughter Lianne Longdo of Salmon Arm; her son Blair Longdo and wife Jennifer of Calgary; her granddaughter Gracie Longdo; and her three grandsons Evan, Dominic and Conrad. Dorothy was the second oldest of eight children born to Richard and Dorothy Tennant (Young). Dorothy was predeceased by her parents and all of her siblings: her oldest brother Eugene (Joe); younger brothers Vernon, Elvin (Stu), Alton, Wayne; and younger sisters June Grasdal and Lois Johnston. Dorothy graduated from Teacher’s College in Saskatoon in 1951. She taught school in Saskatoon and Edmonton prior to marrying Vernon Longdo in 1957. Vernon’s mining career took them to Elliot Lake and Labrador where Dorothy taught as well. They returned to the West in 1962 where they lived in Penticton and Vancouver. Dorothy continued to teach until 1964 when their son Blair arrived. With Lianne’s arrival in 1966 the family moved to Calgary where they lived from 1967 to 1986. Dorothy and Vernon moved back to BC for their retirement and have been part of the Sorrento, Blind Bay and Salmon Arm communities ever since. During their retirement they have enjoyed travelling , curling and golf. Dorothy did extensive volunteer work for the Canadian Cancer Society in both the Blind Bay and Salmon Arm areas. However, Dorothy’s greatest passion has always been her immediate and extended family which both Dorothy and Vernon have guided and supported generously throughout the years. A memorial service officiated by Reverand Fred Duck, followed by a reception to celebrate Dorothy’s life and memory, will be held at First United Church in Salmon Arm, Monday, August 27 at 1 p.m. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the Shuswap Hospital Foundation, Box 265 Salmon Arm, BC, V1E 4N3. The family of Dorothy Longdo wishes to thank Dr. Meggyesi for the care she gave Mom during her final years. The family would also like to thank the staff of the Shuswap Lake General Hospital who went out of their way to make Dorothy comfortable this past year.
