Community Trauma on the jobsite awakens talent of the artistic variety Jim sinclair WKA Editor

A special showing of unique art works will serve to illustrate the versatility of the human spirit, and the determination of a tradesman from Thrums. The art show is one of the highlights of the events commemorating June as Brain Injury Awareness Month, and it’s coming up this Saturday at the Waneta Plaza featuring a selection of creations by Stewart Sutherland. Stewart’s story is a compelling one. Born in Scotland in 1950, he emigrated to Canada in 1969 having just completed an apprenticeship as a mechanical fitter. A career as a millwright attracted Stewart who was very happy in his work until a couple

of workplace accidents, the first in 1998, would spell the end to his chosen vocation. He hit his head on a steel beam, suffering a brain injury that robbed him of his balance and manual dexterity. The injury also caused him to have occasional blackouts. In the years since, Stewart has successfully fashioned a second career, that of an artist. “With These Hands Metal Work” is the name of his enterprise, and he keeps very busy. Stewart’s work can be seen all across the Kootenay’s: from the metal rails on the Balfour Ferry to the railings around Common Grounds Coffee House in Castlegar and the many pieces at the Waneta Art Gallery. In spite of the suc-

Stewart Sutherland contemplates his next artist move.

cess he continues to work hard to maintain, Stewart is well aware of the ongoing challenges brought about by his injuries. Stats show that brain injury survivors lose up to 90 per cent of

their relationships in the time following their accidents. He continues to work, although he also lives with pain. When it intensifies he can be out or action anywhere from

an hour to a month. Back to the start of his artistic odyssey – he was freshly out of his familiar working environment and had taken to spending a fair bit of time in his home shop.

“I realized some of the acquisitions I’d made as a millwright would lend themselves to some artistic applications,” said Stewart by phone on June 7. It was with “quite

a bit of joy” that he made the discovery. Stewart says the subjects of his creations depend on the client who may be commissioning the work, or his own ideas. “If there’s a slack time between clients, I just look around my plethora of found objects and find one that tickles my fancy that particular day.” Stewart Sutherland is an engaging and charming man. He was eager to discuss his art and his past during a Friday interview. Stewart is quite pleased to have the June 15 exhibition set up for the Waneta Plaza.

Sports Piranhas move from pool to coaching Karl Yu West Kootenay Advertiser

Grand Forks Piranhas Swim Club coaches Robyn Van Ek (head coach), Hannah Holitzki and Ross Merry (asstistants) have come full circle. The former swimmers, now impart their wisdom on other Piranhas. Merry swam for 13 years and says it’s all about family, participation and team spirit. “Experience is a big part of it. You learn the ropes as you go along and that’s a big part of it. I’ve only been a coach for the last two years but the swimming beforehand has taught me techniques and how to train,” he said, adding that the leadership comes from watching older swimmers, as well as friends and family.

ATTENTION SERIOUS FISHERMEN Something NEW Coming to Jones Boys Boats.

From left: Robyn Van Ek, Hannah Holitzki and Ross Merry have gone from swimmers with the Grand Forks Piranhas Swim Club to coaches.

“Going from being a swimmer to a coach, I find myself repeating what coaches in the past have told me, so the experience as a swimmer has helped me have sympathy for swimmers,” said Holitzki, who has been with the club as long as Merry. “I see a kid doing something in the water and I remember exactly what my coach told me when I was 10 or 11 years

old. It’s really cool actually, to remember that when you see the same mistake happening and what the coach told you seven years ago,” explained head coach Van Ek, who joined the Piranhas in 2007. The Grand Forks Piranhas took first place at a home swim meet last Saturday and for Van Ek, coaching the team is something she enjoys immensely.

Karl Yu

“I’ve been coaching two years as a position coach and a couple of years beforehand as a junior coach and I think each year we’ve just taken on more responsibilities and leadership roles,” Van Ek explained. “We’re just having fun with it and it’s a huge part of my life, a huge part of my summer and I can’t imagine spending the summer not coaching. I pretty much live at the pool.”

Shoppers pack Trail Market debut Valerie Rossi West Kootenay Advertiser

The Trail Market along the Esplanade has kicked into gear, attracting not only more vendors but also shoppers. “I think it’s going spectacular,” said Trail councillor Eleanor Gattafoni Robinson, enjoying a tasty popsicle from Starsicles, one of the nearly 50 vendors to set up shop at Friday’s opener. A “record crowd” of over 650 people took a stroll through the market, eyeing up some of the wares and indulging in some of the region’s locally grown or produced wares. “It’s a place to meet, it’s a place to socialize, it’s a place to come and sit down and enjoy,” added Gattafoni Robinson. The market is also perfect breeding grounds for a small business interested in gauging whether there is buyer interest, according to Dan McIlmoyle of Kootenay Spice.

Fifteenth in a semi-alphabetical series on West Kootenay-Boundary place names There’s a street sign in Blewett, the residential area adjacent to Nelson, that reads Bedford Road. It almost certainly should say Belford Road, the name by which Blewett was formerly known. The Belford post office opened on October 1, 1911 but its etymology is a mystery. No one by that name lived there, though it may have been christened by someone from Belford, Northumberland, England. The prime suspect is Collingwood Gray (1867-1955), a Bonnington Falls fruit rancher who immigrated to Canada from Belford in 1909. In Granite Road Memories, Mabel Atkinson (nee Sharpe) recalled the community was already known as Belford when her family arrived from England in May 1910, but the earliest reference yet discovered in the Nelson Daily News is dated January 4, 1913. During the latter year, the Belford school opened on land donated by postmaster A.J. Laviolette. The post office closed on December 31, 1918 following Laviolette’s death, but reopened in an adjacent lot on May 1, 1923. It was then called Blewett, honouring storekeeper and postmaster William John

Bedford Road in Blewett: should it read Belford?

Blewett (1870-1953). In the Daily News of May 1, 1953, historian R.G. Joy described Blewett as a Cornish blacksmith who sharpened steel in the early days of the Silver King mine and also worked at mines in Rossland and elsewhere. “He told me that he prospected in Montana and Idaho. He founded Blewett and later supervised the delivery of His Majesty’s mail from the store ... His store burned down later [so] he went home to Cornwall for a time for he was heir to a shoe store; he sold this and was in good financial standing for some time after ... Old-time miners gave him the title BABPM; maybe it stood for Blewett, a Blacksmith and Post Master.” Blewett died in Rossland at 83. For a while, Blewett and Belford were used interchangeably. Social notes with a Belford dateline were published into the 1920s and the community appeared in civic directories as

late as the mid-1940s. Eventually, however, Blewett became firmly entrenched, although the post office closed on May 10, 1958.

Social notes with a Belford dateline were published into the 1920s and the community appeared in civic directories... Belford was perpetuated only through the school, which burned down on January 3, 1960 — thanks in part to its name. According to the Daily News, due to a misheard phone call, “Fire department and school officials rushed to Balfour instead of Belford. Chairman R.A. Phillips remarked that the two names could easily have been confused. By the time the fire department realized its mistake, and reached Belford, the school was a smouldering ruin.” The school was re-

built in 1962-63 and may have still been known as Belford in the planning stages, but as of September 1963, the name was officially changed to Blewett elementary. After that Belford fell out of use, although it remained on the books until 2001, when the BC Geographic Names office finally rescinded it. In the last decade Belford has inadvertently appeared three times in Nelson newspapers. Twice in 2005, interviewees for The Express’ Street Talk column gave their hometown as “Belford, BC.” A caption in the Daily News of May 14, 2008 also claimed: “This photo was taken near the ferry dock looking back towards Belford.” Presumably Belford should have read Balfour. The late Freda Mawer insisted Bedford Road was a highways department error, and should read Belford, but oldtimer Dave Norcross suggested it was just a coincidence.

THE BENEFITS OF PRUNING TREES AND SHRUBS

runing trees and shrubs is necessary to ensure they maintain their health and vigor. Trees and shrubs should be inspected annually to determine if they need to be pruned. Mature trees typically do not need to be pruned as frequently as young trees, which need pruning to establish branch structure. Trees and shrubs that go years without pruning can become overgrown and weak. In addition to promoting tree and shrub health, pruning pays a host of other dividends. * Pruning removes dead or diseased branches. Pruning helps a tree or shrub maintain its shape and vigor by removing broken, dead or diseased branches that can be unsightly and make it more difficult for the tree or shrub to stay healthy. When broken, dead or diseased branches are removed, trees or shrubs look healthier and add aesthetic appeal to a property. * Pruning trees and shrubs promotes growth of other plants. Trees and shrubs that go years without being pruned become overgrown, making it difficult for plants underneath or adjacent to them to grow in healthy. For example, grass beneath an overgrown tree might not get adequate sunlight, which it needs to establish strong roots so it can grow in lush and healthy. Pruning allows plants beneath the tree and shrub and even those next to the tree and shrub to grow in nicely.

* Pruning reduces risk of accidents. Overgrown trees can interfere with power lines, increasing the risk of accidents and power outages. In addition, overgrown trees tend to have larger, weaker limbs, which can prove hazardous and cause property damage during storms. Pruning overgrown trees reduces the risk of such accidents.

* Pruning adds curb appeal. A property littered with overgrown trees and shrubs hurts a home’s curb appeal, giving prospective buyers the impression that homeowners might have been careless with regard to maintaining the whole house and not just the lawn. But trees and shrubs that are pruned and well-maintained can add to a home’s curb appeal, something that goes a long way toward impressing prospective buyers.

* Pruning can sometimes bring plants back to life. Shrubs that have gone years without being pruned can sometimes still be salvaged. In some instances, pruning such shrubs can restore natural and healthy growth.

Water infrastructure upgrade for part of Robson JIM SINCLAIR WKA Editor

A step-up in terms of waterworks is done and certain Robson residents will likely be sold on the the results. Clean, new pipes, three times the di-

ameter of the ones they replace, were installed last week along a sizable portion of a secondary avenue. “The full water main is behind the properties on the north side of Charleston,” said Robson Raspberry Improvement District

spokesperson, water operator Wendy Settle on Friday, June 7. “This is just the replacement of a very old 2-inch galvanized pipe with a new sixinch line.” The job was at the clean-up stage as of Friday following the

installation of 534 feet of pvc pipe. This upgrade serves Townsite residents along Charleston Avenue from Donald to Francis Streets. The work represented two weeks and a capital outlay of about $28,000 according to Settle. The final remedial work is expected to be completed in the fall. Meanwhile, according to Settle, the issue of the quality of the Robson water supply is likely to be resolved with treatment facility, reservoir, IHA approval and infrastructure, all having been put in place by next spring.

Project was mostly wrapped up in a two-week period.

Boaters urged to use lake responsibly KIRSTEN HILDEBRAND West Kootenay Advertiser

Boaters are being reminded to operate their pleasure craft safely and responsibly after residents in the Balfour area expressed concern. RDCK Director Ramona Faust says people in Area E are worried that boats are travelling too fast for conditions as well as creating wake that is damaging the shoreline and its structures. “High speed puts boaters at risk of hitting logs and other

debris that results from freshet and the rising lake level,” she says. “It can be a dangerous thing to be going too fast this time of year.” Faust believes a reminder that spring run-off brings with it debris that ends up in the lake is prudent. And as the lake level starts to rise, water picks up rubble beached along the shore. Boaters are also urged to reduce the wake from their watercraft near developed shorelines as

She says she didn’t know that damage caused by boats’ wake was an issue. “I thought if I don’t know then probably others didn’t know either,” she says. She’d like to see more people informed, locals and visitors, especially leading up to the July long weekend.

the powerful wake can negatively impact docks, moored boats and fishing activity, says Faust. “Wake is the ripple effect that the boat makes but it can be a lot more than a ripple, especially if it’s made by a big boat travelling at high speeds,” she explains. While wake can cause damage to structures at the shore, the force of the water can also erode the shoreline itself. “For environmental reasons, we have shore spawners and

Cabinet ministers were given “mandate letters” itemizing their priorities in the new government. Among those is one to new Education Minister Peter Fassbender, instructing him to seek a 10-year agreement with B.C. teachers, whose current contract expires June 30. Clark also emphasized that the “core review” of government programs would be a key task for all cabinet ministers.

Regional briefs Lake search for Trail man suspended Staff Trail and Grand Forks

The RCMP have made the decision to suspend the search for a missing Trail man presumed drowned in in Little Wilson Lake. RCMP were searching for 32-yearold Michael Guthrie who went missing when his boat capsized during a weekend fishing trip on May 25 near Rosebery. Sgt. Darryl Little of the Kootenay Boundary Detachment said in a press release that the search has covered a majority of the area. An extensive sonar search of the remote alpine lake earlier in the week by the RCMP Underwater Recovery Team and a search of log jams at the outlet of the lake by the members of the Slocan Lake and Nelson Search and Rescue Swift Water Rescue Team, provided no sign of the missing man. The RCMP decided to conduct a final aerial search at some point Thursday before calling off their efforts. Little added that the search will be suspended unless more information becomes available, which would then re-institute the search. The RCMP and

SAR will continue to monitor water levels in the lake over the coming weeks in order to re-assess any further search efforts. Slim down time in Trail

And this summer, the City of Trail is willing to help with the diet. It is not a traditional diet aimed at losing pounds, instead the Kootenay Energy Diet (KED) is meant to reduce energy consumption in your home, and hopefully reduce the dollar amount on your Fortis bill. As an incentive and challenge for residents to lighten their energy load, last week Trail council passed a resolution to support the “ener-vention” by paying $25 toward the $60 fee for the first 100 residents who sign up for the program. “If ever there was an opportunity to improve the energy efficiency in your house, this is the perfect time,” said Coun. Gord DeRosa. He said that his 36year old house is not as cozy as it should be, so he has already signed up for an energy assessment on the Fortis BC website. “This winter I had an energy bill that was $748,” explained DeRosa.

“I thought, how am I going to sustain myself in this house as it is today,” he said. “I need to learn what new technology is out there to make my home more toasty and comfy while I reduce those costs.” Fortis BC will host its official Trail launch of the KED on June 11 from 7 to 9 p.m. in the Trail Cominco Gym. That night, the public is invited to listen to the KED presentation; meet tradesman qualified to complete home upgrades; ask individualized questions; and register homes for an energy-audit. Each home assessment is very thorough and can take up to two to three hours, explained Patricia Dehnel, program manager, PowerSense Fortis BC. Boundary depts. team up Grand Forks Fire Rescue and the Midway Volunteer Fire Department are involved in a mutually beneficial deal for equipment and training. The department in Grand Forks will sell its fire water tender (ground water tanker) on behalf of the rural fire protection district, four breathing apparatuses and fire hose to Midway

and in return, Midway Fire Chief Walt Osellame will come in to provide training to Grand Forks firefighters at no cost to the department. Flour mill returns to the valley

While Grand Forks may not be an epicenter of wheat rye and triticale, fresh ground flour has been milled in the valley for decades. In an effort to revive the Pride of the Valley Flour Mill, which first began operation in 1915, the Doukhobor Milling Heritage Society and the Boundary Museum Society have joined forces to manage and operate the mill which is capable of producing 90 kilograms of wheat per hour. Event listing Multi-Agency Project session

Anyone with questions relating to the Habitat for Humanity Boundary, Whispers of Hope and Boundary Emergency and Transition Housing Society Multi-Agency Accommodation Project (MAAP) is asked to attend a public information meeting at the old vet building (7212 Riverside Drive) on June 27 at 7 p.m.

The 1st Warfield Beavers hosted the annual Beaveree on June 1 at Camp Tweedsmuir in Fruitvale. A Beaveree is a gathering of all the local “Beaver Colonies” for a day of fun activities. The 2nd Rossland, 1st Nelson, and 1st Beaver Valley Beavers were all in attendance. Al Richardson from the Sinixt First Nation was on hand for a stick and drum ceremony demonstration. A representative from Teck Trail Operations gave a well received presentation on insects. The Beavers enjoyed investigating the bug population in several buckets of water from different local waterways. There were various activity stations that the youth rotated through including: a watchtower and zipline; a climbing wall; leather stamping; homemade fishing hooks; and wooden toy boat building. Of course, there was the traditional gourmet Scout lunch of hotdogs, veggies, and juice. The tired Beavers went home after a busy day of building.

Provincial Concept of self-help fundraising for the arts expands in B.C. submitted

Ministry of Community, Sport and Cultural Development VICTORIA - The B.C. government is investing $300,000 over two years in artsVest, a non-profit program helping small and mid-sized arts organizations help themselves through effective private sector fundraising, Community, Sport and Cultural Development Minister Coralee Oakes said recently. Organized by Toronto-based Business for the Arts (BftA), Canada’s only national association of business leaders in support of the arts, artsVest provides training workshops and incentive funds. Workshops teach relationship-building and fundraising with the private sector. Incentive funds match money raised by participating arts groups. In 2012, BftA expanded artsVest across Canada, including a Vancouver launch last June, supported by $150,000 from the B.C. government and $200,000 from the Government of Canada. ArtsVest Vancouver proved very successful, with 48 arts and culture organizations sharing $275,000 in matching incentive grants. This year, artsVest BC is expanding operations through

workshops in Campbell River (June 1), Cranbrook (June 9), Greater Victoria (June 11), Kelowna (June 13) and Castlegar (June 22). Future workshops will also be delivered for First Nations arts and cultural groups on Vancouver Island, the Okanagan and in the Columbia Valley through the First Peoples’ Cultural Council, a First Nations-run B.C. Crown Corporation. ArtsVest BC partners contribute to incentive funds and help cover program costs. In addition to B.C. government support, the program is receiving: * $500,000 from the Government of Canada over the next two fiscal years. * $50,000 from the City of Kelowna. * $50,000 from TELUS. * $30,000 from the Columbia Basin Trust. * $20,000 from the Capital Regional District. Since starting in Ontario in 2002, artsVest has dispersed approximately $1.7 million in grants to over 600 arts, cultural and heritage or-

ganizations in Canada. Nearly 1,000 Canadian businesses have supported the program. Currently, artsVest operates in British Columbia, Saskatchewan, Ontario and Nova Scotia. “ArtsVest offers an outstanding opportunity, particularly for small and medium-scale arts organizations striving to make the most from limited resources,” added Minister Oakes. “As a successful self-help approach to sustainability, artsVest creates important benefits for the arts community, including stronger finances and closer connections to local business.” Declared Neil Muth, president and chief executive officer, Columbia Basin Trust - “ArtsVest provides an opportunity for our local arts, culture and heritage organizations to learn how to approach and connect with businesses, and to establish and grow their funding relationships. This in turn strengthens the sector and contributes to the diversity and well-being of the Columbia

More than fried bread, drumming and pow-wow dancing Living well Interior Health Authority

Don’t get me wrong, fried bread, drumming and powwow dancing are all good things, but this Aboriginal Day (June 21) there are many other exciting events to celebrate. In 1996, the first Aboriginal Day was established through the combined efforts of the sacred assembly and Elijah Harper, a respected elder and speaker who left for the spirit world May 17, 2013. Aboriginal Day is a time of celebration in many Aboriginal and Metis communities. Anyone is welcome to join in and celebrate the accomplishments of First Nations people both in the past and as we move towards the future. Many positive changes are appearing in Aboriginal communities as the people reclaim their

pathways to health. Aboriginal health is seen as a combination

of spiritual, emotional and physical well-being which is different

from western models. First Nation Healthy Authority was estab-

lished and is poised to reflect the collective knowledge of First

Nation people by embracing the traditional practices of the past

Sculpture Talk

2012

Welcome to our new regular feature introducing the artists behind the sculptures in this year’s Castlegar SculptureWalk.

Kuhl has created a muscular yet stylish work: large spoked metal wheels anchor it front and back while menacing exhaust pipes flow gracefully from the angled barrel body, the skin of a seat (actually an old tractor seat) behind it. A thick coil on the front forks acts as suspension, offsetting the bold and prominent headlight achieved by riveting two kitchen pots, one copper one stainless steel, inside one another. It is all tied together by tubular metal leading to the curved handlebars; bits and pieces simulate the engine within the triangular frame.

Al Kuhl

‘Rough Rider’ (recycled metal) First time Sculpturewalk participant Al Kuhl has created a sleek and sexy work that will grab the attention of those who long to savour the wind in their hair, dream of future road trip adventures or recapture the glory of past youth. ‘Rough Rider’ pays homage to the classic motorcycles of the 40’s and 50’s – Harley Davidsons, Nortons and Indians – using reclaimed metal. The sculpture beguiles and invites viewers to physically interact with it, to sit astride the lowslung beast and grasp the handlebars while letting their imagination run wild.

Although he has been sculpting for about 30 years, Kuhl still considers it a hobby first and foremost. “I’ve done garden pieces and the like for family and friends for years now,” he says with a chuckle. “I’ll see an old set of pruning shears or something similar and think to myself, ‘That could be a nice bird’s beak, or maybe its legs at a certain angle.’ Often, it ends up not being a bird at all by the time I’m finished, but something else entirely.” Displaying a number of his sculptures at a ‘Made In Canada’ arts and crafts fair held on Canada Day in Kelowna’s Riverfront Park a couple of years ago made him realize his hobby could turn into

town C a s t l e g a n w o r

art tends to go the other way. I create large pieces that have a central feature and multiples expanding from it to provide contrast and diversity.”

full time work once he retires from his nine to five job. “I sold a number of pieces there and got a lot of positive feedback, so you never know,” he allows. “Right now it is something I do in my spare time, but I enjoy it, so…” He leaves the thought unfinished deliberately. ‘Rough Rider’ was originally created for the local Gallery 2 Spring Art Exhibit, although the piece has been in Kuhl’s mind for some time. “I’ve always loved bikes, especially the older bomber style ones,” says Kuhl. “They are basic in their structure but have great lines, and I’ve tried to capture that in this work.” He has succeeded admirably. ‘Rough Rider’ looks as if it is ready to accelerate from its pedestal, which invites the viewer to climb aboard for a photo opportunity. Whether astride or viewed traditionally, Kuhl’s piece is beautifully constructed. Its elegant, simple lines are masculine and strong, capturing bikes of another era by using pieces from the present with flair and imagination. SPONSORED by

Carl Schlichting ‘Tree of Light’ (steel/halogen bulbs) Winlaw sculptor Carl Schlichting always thinks big. Last year he gave us the twelve foot QR, a massive vertical steel pipe bursting volcano-like at the top end, spewing replicated fragments above it. That work was purchased by the City of Nelson and installed in the refurbished Railtown section at the west end of Baker Street. This year is no different in the scope and size of his installation. “Fine, exact detail isn’t really my style when sculpting,” he says chuckling. “For a living, I produce very exacting mounts and fixtures for art and museum fixtures, so my

‘Tree of Light’ is ambitious, in keeping with Schlichting’s creative style. He’s taken fire-twisted steel I-beams and angled and shaped them to emulate the trunk and main branches. From this starting point, he has attached spring steel whip ‘branches’ and festooned them with ‘leaves’ created from chrome car bumpers. Burnt out halogen lights, the bulbs removed so that they resemble blossoms, are interspersed with the leaves along the lighter flexible branches, providing movement and contrast. The entire work is approximately twelve feet squared, set on a contrasting piece of stone. The finished effect is magical, impressive in its presentation and presence; a tree of light that dances, sways and shimmies. Schlichting’s background – one of a number of prairie-raised siblings all blessed with artistic talent, in addition to a distinguished career as a museum artifacts conservator – is the nurturing point at the heart of his creative talents. It is obviously in the genes. This year will see his daughter Simone display her own sculpture at the event.

“We are stylistically quite different,” he says straightforwardly. “Her art as a jeweller is on a smaller scale, delicate with strong lines, but she’s a real talent and I’m very proud of her.” Inspired by his siblings in part, Schlichting moved to the west coast to study art at Langara College. He transferred his knowledge into an artistic career, treating and mounting artifacts at numerous museums and galleries in Canada, the United States and at stops overseas. Now, he is content to stick close to home in his Slocan Valley studio, reworking reclaimed steel and metal into imaginative sculptures. ‘Tree of Light’ is exactly that, a flowing, flexible work that incorporates movement and static elements. It displays Schlichting’s vision and ingenuity well in developing largescale, expansive steel-based works that stem from his love of working in his favourite medium. The addition of other materials adds to the overall effect. His entry here personifies his creativity and dexterity in thinking and sculpting writ large. SPONSORED by

Horoscope Michael O’Connor

for the

Week

June 14, 2013

Tip of the Week: This last week of Gemini is the handoff to solstice and the turn of the season. Here in the Northern Hemisphere the season of summer is about to begin while in the Southern it is winter that looms nigh. So, which is it, summer or winter? Why… it is both, no lie. This is one of the many dualities of existence which seem contradictory yet paradoxically both are true. This is a characteristic reflection of Gemini, the sign of variety and spice, of naughty and nice where the word ‘and’ buries ‘or’ forevermore. The question of nature or nurture is a good example because the better choice of words is ‘and’ replacing ‘or’. Yes, the answer is both: nature and nurture. How could it be otherwise? The notion of nature is of course derived from ancient psychology which is better known as Astrology. And since astrology is natural psychology, how can it go out of style? Yes, like nature it is timeless and pervasive. After all, what aspect of existence has no nature in it? Answer: None. Even the most artificial features of modern civilization, and there is a fair share, contains, is derived from and/or is processed by forces of nature. Earth (matter) Air, (gases) Fire (friction, ignition) and Water (liquids) are the basis of life. Regarding Gemini, the twins, it or shall I say they, symbolize(s) dualities of all sorts, or is that polarities, and such examples as the two sides of the body including the two hemispheres of the brain and right down to neutrons and electrons illustrate this archetype. Not surprisingly, Gemini is also symbolic, at its deeper reaches, of the duality of perception itself. This gives rise to all sorts of riddles and tricks of the mind. Are you dizzy yet? Say hello and goodbye to Gemini! Happy Solstice, summer, winter… however it is for you. (P.S. Solstice this year occurs on June 20, 10:40 pm PDT)

ARIES (MAR 21 – APR 20)

LIBRA (SEP 22 – OCT 22)

TAURUS (APR 20 – MAY 21)

SCORPIO (OCT 22 – NOV 21)

GEMINI (MAY 21 – JUN 21)

SAGITTARIUS (NOV 21 – DEC 21)

CANCER (JUN 21 – JUL 22)

CAPRICORN (DEC 21 – JAN 19)

There is reason to say something new and wonderful is stirring in your life. A very fruitful energy pattern is portrayed in the planetary line-up. It is all a part of a much deeper theme of change. How you respond to it is an important factor. It does indicate change, even of the revolutionary sort. With awareness it could produce a bounty of beauty.

The time has come to diversify your interests and focus. This includes stimulating new potential streams of income and/or accessing untapped talents and resources. At least all your creative wheels and juices will be turning and flowing. Yet risk and commitment are required. It is important that you assert, push and dig to uncover fresh creative reserves.

Last week’s New Moon seed in your sign will be bearing flowers now. And these are the kind that bears fruit, not simply a pretty bloom. Still, you must tend to your garden with deliberate focus; the tendency to scatter it is strong these days. Yet, the time is right to expand and to increase your creative interests and earning potential.

You are in a cycle that calls for inner work. Confronting and clearing doubt demons, accessing deeper reserves of faith and building upon your core strength of character, are examples. Our ego tends to be wilful and impatient and of itself does not understand the deeper realities of consciousness and evolutionary cycles that are ever operative. Appreciating these constitutes another example of this inner work.

LEO (JUL 22 – AUG 23)

An active outreach to increase the scope and quality of your network is the message in the stars now. This includes learning and innovation linked to original ideas and concepts. For the sake of future progress and success it is important that you enter into new negotiations and that you establish fresh and healthy diplomatic dialogue.

VIRGO (AUG 23 – SEP 22)

Much activation in your professional and/or public life were seeded by the New Moon in Gemini last week. The two main keys requiring your implementation now are your willingness to take new leads and to do the work to learn new skills and strategies. These will have a transformational effect on you. You will not be the person you were, you will be better!

Contact Michael O’Connor for a Personal Reading

G A M E S

You may feel pregnant with new perceptions, beliefs and philosophies altogether. The actual birth of these may require a couple more weeks at most. These may be directly related to money and other resources, yours and those of others. At a deeper level, deciphering what these are truly worth to you is a question you must answer, soon.

A variety of lingering questions regarding choices and actions to take have come down to the final crunch. Circumstances will push you to decide, this week! Perhaps it is short-term gain or advantage versus long-term investments that require deliberate discernment. Perhaps you can strike a deal that allows you to have a bit of both. You decide!

Death and rebirth are like alpha and omega, while they seem poles apart they are actually the closest of neighbors. One day ends only for a new one to begin that very moment. This is true of every aspect of life. In the wider sense, endings in your overall lifestyle are the sign of new beginnings. It could be the routine, the rhythm or the pace or D, all of the above.

The returns of previous actions, choices and investments are steadily rolling in. These are highlighting the quality of prior activity. Since the point of power is ever in the present moment, whatever the results and consequences of yesteryear you have the opportunity to make new and perhaps better choices now. Focus on improvement.

AQUARIUS (JAN 19 – FEB 19)

How much fun can you have? Creative activity is just as likely as play, and it can be work…. At a deeper level yet, a deliberate dissolving of your previous status quo, which is still lingering, requiring the activation of news modes of self-expression, is the game plan. In turn, this requires fresh perspectives, especially how you perceive and define yourself.

PISCES (FEB 19 – MAR 20)

A good deal of shifting and shaking and sifting and sorting is underway close to home. Focusing on your talents is emphasized. To this end you must clear the way. But it is not solely cleaning and organizing your living space that it is required, you are undergoing a metamorphosis. This requires faith and patience. The good news is until now you have crawled but soon you will fly!

These activities also provide physical exercise for all ages and being out in nature helps improve mental and emotional wellbeing. Most importantly, these practices help teach the next generation to respect

that may sound like day to day activity, it also brings communities and generations together to practice healthy living. Walking and hiking in the mountains and fields; whether to hunt, fish or gather food, teaches many valuable skills. Hunting and fishing camps give their first kills to the community and help feed their elders

So, when you join the Aboriginal Day festivities on June 21 and admire the drumming, dancing and bead work as well as the occasional treat of fried bread, remember there is so much more to celebrate.

La Dolce Vita

No island, no elephant, just amazing wine Submitted

Nestled down near the east shore of Okanagan Lake is a winery that never fails to surprise. And it is one sure to convince all but the most determined of wine snobs that all good things do not come from grapes. Elephant Island Orchard Wines captured our imaginations on our first visit a decade ago and hasn’t failed to impress since then. Not having visited the winery for a few years, we were reintroduced to its fruit wines at a Naramata Bench Winery Association tasting in Calgary a few months ago. Guests were presented with a glass of pink bubbly upon arrival and it was a real treat. Murmurs could be heard around the room when it was announced that the Pink Elephant was made from apple, not grape, juice. Then, on our last trip to Naramata, we were royally entertained at the Naramata Heritage Inn, where the new owners’ grand opening celebrations were kicked off with the sabering of sparkling wine. A series of brave volunteers sharply slid the blade of a sabre along the neck of the bottle, which snaps off the heavy ring of glass at the top. The pressurized contents then shoot the cork and glass ring a considerable distance, and also eject any tiny glass shards. It’s an exciting way to start a celebration, and the wine did nothing to lessen the momentum of the evening. Elephant Island Orchard Wines was founded in 1999 by

Miranda and Del Halladay, in partnership with Miranda’s grandmother, the architect Catherine Chard Wisnicki. Wisnicki had purchased the property against the advice of her husband, who was convinced the investment for retirement would turn into a White Elephant. He referred to the property as his wife’s Eye-land, because of what he perceived as her obsession for the aesthetic. So visitors shouldn’t be surprised when the road down to the winery doesn’t take them over a bridge and onto an island. It does, though, lead to a remarkable selection of wines, a couple of which are even made from grapes. First to the Pink Elephant. Fermented from the juice of Granny Smith apples, the wine is made with the methode champenoise, like traditional Champagne from France. Before being corked it gets a dosage of Cassis, which lends a beautiful pink colour to the end product. We have served it with the addition of Okanagan Spirits black currant liqueur to make Kir Royals which, with the addition of a preserved hibiscus flower in the bottom of a glass, results in a very exotic drink that bumps up any celebration a notch. Another sparkling wine, The Little King, is named in memory of the Halladays’ son, Rex. All proceed to go a pediatric nursing education fund at the BC Children’s Hospital. To date more than $70,000 has been donated. Four fruit wines are available, from pears, cherries, black-

berries and black currants. The dessert wine line-up includes fortified versions from black currants (Cassis) raspberries (Framboise), apricot and crabapple wines and a Port-style wine, too. Two grape wines, with tongue-in-cheek names, Naysayer (Cabernet Franc) and I Told You So (Viognier), acknowledge that the Halladays can handle fruit from vines, too. In fact the Viognier (which has a touch of Sauvignon Blanc added for acidity) was named the best in its category in the Okanagan Spring Wine Festival, a testament to Del’s skill in the winery. If Elephant Island was just a novelty among BC wineries, it would be a good one. But it’s much more than that. We still smile when we remember reading, on our first ever visit, a newspaper article talking about how someone managed to slip an Elephant Island cherry wine into a Pinot Noir tasting in Vancouver.
