Performers earning raves

Attendees are invited to dress up in funky hats and clothing to add colour to the sense of fun. Don’t be scared off if there’s rain in the forecast. That happened last year and the weather actually was ideal. And if it rains, so what! Bring an umbrella and enjoy.

Continued from front timeline, Kruz’s recollections are a celebration of the resiliency of Woodstock-era arts and culture. Stoked about the lineup, North recently saw four of this year’s festival entries at a festival in Canmore, Alta. “Hanggai got two standing ovations; they tore the place up, they’re something else,” he says of the traditional Mongolian band, whose undeniably gorgeous music has been winning many fans. “I saw Oysterband (award-winning U.K. folk-roots) on the main stage on Monday and they were very impressive.” North was also impressed with how The Small Glories and Kat Danser resonated with the crowds on the workshops stages. “It’s nice to see them getting the kind of response you hope they’re gonna get here,” he says. “I was at the Calgary Blues Festival the same weekend and Geoff Muldaur and Amos Garrett sounded as good as they did 35 years ago.” North reminds festivalgoers of the free pancake brunch hosted by Downtown Salmon Arm and Salmon Arm Folk Music Society from 9 a.m. to noon Saturday, Aug. 15 at the Ross Street Plaza. Daybreak Rotary members will be flipping pancakes and serving them with sausages, fruit juice and coffee. Diners will first be entertained by Prairie balladeer Scott Cook, which will be followed by a blues jam. And speaking of

And what could be better than great music and delicious food? Ask production manager David Gonella and Cultural Committee lead Elaine Holmes. Festivalgoers should be considerably more comfortable this year. “Made in the shade,” says Gonella, who is pumped about additions and improvements being made to make the site more visually inviting and comfortable. And that includes shade. Lots more of it. At the Blues Stage, 12 30-ft poles have been installed by Salmon Arm company Glenn Power. A successful campaign netted Gonella 500 pairs of blue jeans, which have been hung to provide about 3,000

square feet of shade and some cooling movement if there’s a breeze. Ten poles have been installed at the Shade Stage and will be hung with shade cloth to provide about 7,000 more feet of shade. The wine lounge will be at one end of the Shade Stage this year so folks will be able to enjoy a glass of wine while watching Shade Stage performances. “For me, it’s gonna be fantastic; I am so excited for this and the whole event, personally,” he says. “The biggest thing is we have a new group, a cultural committee, which has been adding decorations and off-stage busking. The plan is that everywhere you look, there is some type of activity – fire dancers, buskers and more.” Gonella says board member/musician/artist/actor/teacher Elaine Holmes has been adding activities and a sense of fun.

Bringing the Best to Your Table

By Barb Brouwer

MARKET NEWS STAFF

Are they late, or are they not coming? This is a quandary Fisheries and Oceans Canada is facing with the early summer sockeye stocks which spawn in Scotch Creek and Seymour River. On Friday, Aug. 7, The Pacific Salmon Commission and the Fraser River Panel reduced initial estimates of a probable run in the neighbourhood of 837,000 early summers to 424,000. “Through test fisheries and sampling of DNA they construct a run size and run timing estimates,” says Stu Cartwright, acting area director of the federal Fisheries and Oceans Canada for the B.C. Interior. “The DNA confirms their origins.” Cartwright says during the first seven to 10 days of the run, scientists were predicting almost double the number of salmon heading to the Shuswap. “The bottom line is, they are now more confident there will be at least 424,000 and we’re not sure it will bump up again,” he says, noting more test fisheries and DNA sampling this Friday should provide a clearer picture. “They could be seven to 10 days late, or they may just not be there.” An observer at Hell’s

n Fisheries officials have reduced their initial predictions on the size of the early summer sockeye run. Gate Canyon recorded a steady stream of sockeye passing the observation point last Friday. On the same day, DNA analysis in a test fishery at the approach of Juan de Fuca Strait north of Victoria toward Port Renfrew showed approximately 13 per cent of early summers still present as they have been in varying numbers since testing began in mid July. Eighty-six per cent were summer run sockeye and only one percent was late-run sockeye, which means they are a bit late in congregating offshore. Cartwright says that out of the 424,000 early summer sockeye estimated to be in this year’s run, it looks like the early Thompson

component (Scotch Creek and Seymour River) is the group that seems to be significantly less abundant. On Aug. 6, the Fraser River discharge at Hope recorded streamflow of 2,530 cubic metres per minute, which is 36 per cent below average discharge for that day. The water temperature at a site near Yale was 18.7 C, approximately .7 degrees higher than average for this date. “So we’re taking a precautionary management approach due to the higher-than-average temperatures and river conditions that continue to be less than ideal for migrating sockeye,” Cartwright says, noting that fisheries officials are hoping to see more precipita-

tion and cooler temperatures later this week. But he cautions, even half a degree in temperature can affect sockeye. And while it’s a bit early to estimate, Cartwright says officials are hoping the picture for the later summer sockeye stocks will be better.

“That’s where we’re hoping the strength of the run will be,” he said Monday. “But we don’t know at this point in time whether they will be here, weaker or stronger.” At this time salmon fisheries remain closed other than First Nations food, social and ceremonial fisheries.

Gas prices stubbornly high despite oil’s dive By Jeff Nagel BLACK PRESS

Gas prices remain stubbornly high in B.C. despite the slide in crude oil prices, and motorists are feeling gouged. Gasoline is down only slightly from $1.40 a litre a year ago, while crude has plunged more than 50 per cent from around $98 a barrel to less than $44 in early August. But petroleum industry analysts say it all boils down to supply and demand. Crude oil accounts for less than half of the end cost of a litre of gasoline, with government taxes and refining charges the other big factors. “I wish there was a simple explanation,” said Jason Parent of the Kent Marketing Group. “There isn’t much of a relationship on a day-today basis between crude oil and retail gasoline.” Expecting gas to move in lockstep with crude oil is somewhat akin to expecting house prices to follow lumber prices, without recognizing scarce land or an influx of buyers might have an influence. Parent said crude and gas prices can go in different directions for different reasons, and gas prices in B.C. can diverge from what other Canadians pay. Most of the difference between B.C. prices and the rest of the country is explained by the higher 17-cent-alitre TransLink tax in Metro Vancouver as well as B.C.’s carbon tax. Motorists are paying just over $1 in Alberta, a few cents more in Saskatchewan and Manitoba, and $1.10 to $1.20 in most of Eastern Canada. But even after taxes are factored

out, Vancouver prices are five to 15 cents a litre higher than most other cities across Canada. The reason, Parent said, is that Vancouver-area prices follow those along the U.S. west coast, where the wholesale gas supply has been constricted by refinery problems in California, driving prices up. “Wholesale prices have been high there relative to the rest of the U.S. for a month now,” Parent said. Some gasoline comes to B.C. through the Kinder Morgan pipeline, but the rest comes from Washington State or other U.S. refineries. If prices were sharply higher in Vancouver than cities to the south, Parent said, gas would flow back to the U.S. – resulting in shortages here – or wouldn’t be shipped north in the first place. Another “huge” factor behind why Canadians in general aren’t yet seeing much relief at the pumps is the drop in the loonie over the past year. Crude and wholesale gas are priced in U.S. dollars, so Canadians are paying with a devalued currency that simply doesn’t go as far as it did a year ago. So who is profiting from the persistently high pump prices? “Right now, refiners are the big winners,” Parent said. They’re running close to capacity, demand is up because of lower gas prices and therefore refiners can charge more than usual. If crude oil prices get even cheaper – potentially as sanctions against Iran end and more oil pours onto the world market – there’s no guarantee gas prices will follow because of the refining constraints in North America.

Medical approach better than jail

In the past 17 months, the work undertaken by Dr. Ian Mitchell and public-health nurse Kirsten McLaughlin at Royal Inland Hospital has saved three lives — and perhaps more. The duo’s commitment in distributing medical kits designed to reverse the effects of an opiate drug overdose is a prime example of what the focus of Canada’s health-care system should be. It is a proactive, preventive attack, rather than a reactive stance that fails to address the root problem and which costs society far more — in terms of lives and dollars. Mitchell and McLaughlin hand out naloxone kits and teach addicts how to properly inject the drug that has, quite literally, brought people back from the dead. With the rash of dealers adding deadly amounts of fentanyl to all manner of drugs — including marijuana — the number of fentanyl-related deaths and overdoses has risen this summer. Fentanyl is a synthetic opiate 50 to 100 times more potent than morphine. Another aspect of the work being done by Mitchell and McLauhglin and the staff at RIH is that it is a harm-reduction initiative. In other words, drug use — and the dangers that come with it — is treated from a health-based, harmreduction viewpoint, rather than from a criminalcode mindset. Treating drug use and those ensnared in its talons as a criminal manner has proven to be a futile approach that tends to simply add bodies to jail cells while doing little to attack the real issue. Look south of the 49th parallel for ample proof of the absurdity of such an outdated stance. There is much to be learned from the work being done out of RIH — the first hospital in Canada to dispense such kits from its ER — and from the offices of other health-related agencies in Kamloops. –Kamloops This Week

OPINION

Published by Black Press Ltd. 171 Shuswap Street NW, Salmon Arm, B.C.

Fishing more about the moment A very wise man once told me it’s not the number or even size of fish you catch, but being out on the water that matters. My father was right. Fishing is a lot more than the simple catching of fish. It is being able to get away from everything, sitting on a lake somewhere in your boat, breathing in the cool, crisp morning air and sensing all the sights and sounds that surround you. It’s listening to nature as it whispers in your ear and being right there to witness the metamorphoses of an insect – being there as it emerges from its watery depth to experience flight for the first time. It’s hearing the sound of an osprey as it shrieks high above, or seeing a flock of geese winging their way south and sensing the changes that are about to come with a wind that’s blowing in from the north. It’s watching the sun set at the far end of a lake and hearing the call of a loon as it cries out across the water. It’s the rustle of leaves in the fall and the sound of water

THE GREAT OUTDOORS James Murray lapping against the hull of your boat. It’s the warmth of the sun on your face as you watch and wait for the mist to rise from the surface of the water like time lost in a shroud of its own making. It’s the sense of peace and tranquility that wraps itself around you like a familiar old, red Hudson Bay blanket. Yes, fishing is more than catching fish – it is each and every moment between fish. Last week, I found myself standing on the banks of the St. Mary River (here in the East Kootenays), casting my line to fish that may or may not even be there – hoping to catch but

a glimpse, that momentary glint of silver moving through the runs and riffles of a holding pool that stops the breath and stirs the heart. How many times that day did I tell myself ‘this is what fishing is all about,’ just being there, casting my line on the waters? All I know for sure is that when I was standing there, knee-deep in the fastflowing waters of that river, I felt happy and content and, when I did finally get a fish on, the whole world stopped for a few brief, wonderfully exciting moments. I never have to remind myself of how many hours I have spent casting to little more than shadows, with little more than a glimmer of hope. But when I set my hook into the power and fury of what felt like a runaway locomotive, I was truly lost in the moment. Granted, I have probably lost as many battles as I have won over the years, but, win or lose, won or lost, I have to say I have enjoyed each and every mo-

ment spent just being out there on the water. I remember the last time I went fishing with my father. Looking back, I think he knew it would be our last fishing trip together. He wasn’t much older than I am now, but he was tired from having worked hard all his life. I was probably responsible for aging him more than I should have, but he was happy that day, just casting his line on the water. He still had a good strong cast, far better than mine, then and now. I think he was just happy being out there. He was content. Many times I have longed to find that kind of contentedness in my life. Maybe it comes with age. I don’t know. But I do remember watching him cast his line upstream from me, and realizing just how much I owed that man. So it was last week, as I stood casting my line on the St. Mary that I wished I could be just a little more like that man who cast his line upstream from me so long ago.

Prospects for LNG investment

B.C. VIEWS Tom Fletcher VICTORIA – Now that the political backand-forth is over, there are two questions left about the Petronas-led proposal to make the biggest private-sector investment in B.C. history. Will it actually happen? And is it a good deal or a bad one? Premier Christy Clark ducked the first question on the day the project agreement for Pacific Northwest LNG was approved by the B.C. legislature. “After many predictions about the Canucks and the Alberta election, I don’t make predictions any more,” Clark said. “But I can say that this project has gone farther than any of our critics said that it would.” For what it’s worth, my prediction is on record: it will go ahead. The latest evidence is the company’s continued, costly effort to gain federal and local approval for a suspension bridge to Lelu Island to minimize

the marine impact. Lax Kw’alaams Band members could not have had details on that change from an underwater pipeline when they voted to oppose the project in May. Is it a good deal? The mayors of Prince Rupert and Port Edward have made their views clear – they see it as a lifeline for an area that has struggled for years with a faded forest and fishing industry. The B.C. NDP is also now clear, having voted against the project agreement in the brief summer session of the legislature that concluded last week. Whether the project proceeds or not, this will be a key election issue in 2017. NDP leader John Horgan and other MLAs made much of the lack of job guarantees, pointing to similar projects in Australia. Natural Gas Development Minister Rich Coleman issued a statement with excerpts from the state of Western Australia’s agreement for the Gorgon LNG project. The so-called guarantees contain qualifiers like this: “... except in those cases where … it is not reasonable or economically practical to do so, use labour available within Western Australia.” Obviously there

were no job guarantees, which could only exist in a command economy, in other words a communist dictatorship. Everyone agrees specialized trades such as welding alloys for low-temperature operation will be brought in. And LNG processing trains will be shipped in pre-fabricated from places like South Korea, as they have been in Australia and elsewhere.

“But I can say that this project has gone farther than any of our critics said that it would.” - Premier Christy Clark on LNG

Pacific Northwest LNG is on record with federal regulators that in the latter stages of construction, the use of foreign labour for the project could reach 70 per cent. Does that make it a bad deal? Perhaps B.C. could attempt develop this expertise from the ground up. It seems to me that was tried with aluminum ship fabrication, and it didn’t work out too well. For David Keane, president of the B.C.

Grades K-12

LNG Alliance, the question is how many large LNG projects, pipelines and all, can be managed at the same time as the Site C dam is being built. It was skilled labour shortages, and particularly a shortage of supervisors, that caused Australia to lose some of its proposed projects. Keane said all LNG proponents here want to use as much local labour as they can, because it’s less expensive and it builds local support. And he disagrees that B.C. is a sweet deal for the industry. Among other things, pipelines have to be built across two mountain ranges. Not only that, B.C. producers would pay an LNG income tax, which is a first in the history of the industry. Add to that PST, GST, payroll taxes, municipal taxes and federal and provincial corporate income taxes. Add aboriginal revenue sharing, and we have a deal. -Tom Fletcher is legislature reporter and columnist for Black Press. Email: tfletcher@blackpress.ca.

Faces Studio looks forward to fall The Arts Council for the South Shuswap has taken over the Faces programming for art, dance and music in the area. Arts council administrator Karen Brown says she is pleased that Faces has now become one of four key areas of the arts council under a non-profit format. “Under the arts council’s wing, the fine arts programming in the area will grow under a fresh vision of the board of directors,” says Brown. “This is integral to the healthy growth of the arts council to ensure that the needs of the community, both young and old, are met.” Returning to teach are songwriters, recording arts and musicians Larry Stephenson and

Sylvain Vallee, teaching music with a variety of instruments. A new children’s choir will also be struck under the direction of Vallee. Heading the art department is local artist and teacher Lynn Crin, who will continue to share her funky and eclectic style with art class participants. New to the Faces family last year was Storm Dafoe, who will continue to head the dance department. “Ms. Dafoe’s dance background is extremely impressive and the arts council feels very fortunate to have her as part of their teaching faculty,” says Brown. Dafoe began dancing at the age of four, studying ballet, lyrical, jazz, musical theatre, character, modern,

ballroom and hip-hop, but always particularly loved ballet. Dafoe trained with the Van Dance company in Lethbridge, Alta. before travelling to Toronto, where she continued to train. Back home, Dafoe was invited to audition for the Saskatchewan tour with the Moscow Ballet Company’s Swan Lake, and was cast with 11 other girls in the corps de ballet. She made a second appearance with the Moscow Ballet company at age 16 when she was cast as a soloist and danced the Spanish Variation in The Nutcracker. Until 2012 Dafoe participated in competitions in Saskatchewan and Alberta. In her senior year, she received

the Dance Saskatchewan Ambassador Scholarship. This spring she created competitive pieces for the Backstage Dance Company and choreographed two solo pieces. Her modern solo piece Coralia received four chore-

ography awards in the 2014 competition season. Dafoe is studying at Thompson Rivers University and is looking forward to teaching ballet, jazz, modern, lyrical, hip hop and musical theatre at Faces Studio this fall.

Arts council gets new digs

Carlin Hall will be getting much more action as part of an exciting collaboration between two non-profit organizations in the region. Effective Sept. 1, the Arts Council for the South Shuswap will move from Faces Studio to the lower level of the Carlin Hall. “We are very excited about the many possibilities a partnership with the arts council entails,” says Carlin & District Recreation Association president Larry Stephenson. “Bringing these two very like-minded nonprofit associations together will not only help to preserve our community’s existing arts and cultural activities, it will also encourage growth as instructional programming becomes more accessible and opportunities for involvement from all age groups are provided.” Rhys Laug, an arts council director says one of the key mandates for the arts council is to collaborate with other community groups. “We are very excited to be presented with this opportunity to work on this long-term joint project,” he says. The story of the Carlin Hall is much the same as most community associations in the area, says arts council administrator Karen Brown. “Their board works very hard fundraising to meet operational costs for the hall each year,” she says. “Their mandate is to serve as

file photo

n Volunteer Joan O’Brien works in the kitchen at Carlin Hall, a place long known for its association with arts in the community. a multi-purpose facility that can welcome community and family events and provide the public with cultural opportunities such as music concerts and monthly coffee houses.” By moving to their new home at Carlin, the arts council will cut its budget for rent, utilities and insurance by over 60 per cent, allowing the council to focus more of its energy and finances on program expansion. One such arts council initiative this summer has been the creation of the Music in the Bay series, a weekly music concert that takes place on the waterfront in Blind Bay on Thursday nights at 6:30 p.m.. The series has featured Cod Gone Wild, The Elk Tribe, Margit Skye Project, Jesse Mast and others who have shared their talent with residents and tourists. ‘The sense of community on Thursday nights on Centennial Field is fabulous,” says Brown. “It’s truly heartwarming to see grandparents dancing with their grandkids,

fathers and sons tossing a football or frisbee around and young kids joining in on the parachute fun with other children, while the crowd enjoys two hours of complimentary music.” One of the arts council board members was approached recently by a woman at a concert. She asked if ‘things like this always went on here and would these concerts continue.’ Yes was the reply: “It is certainly our focus to initiate or assist events such as these to occur.” The woman then shared that she and her

husband were scouting out the area and after spending the evening in the South Shuswap, a relocation to the area was now in their plans. “This is what arts and cultural activities can do for a community,” says Brown. “When prospective residents see infrastructure and programming in place and take in a community event, it can enhance their wish to move here thereby resulting in community growth.” So that answers the question as to what arts and culture can do for one’s community, but why Carlin for this collaboration? “It was rather serendipitous actually,” says Laug, pointing out the Carlin Hall board was looking for a way to broaden the hall’s programming to expand use of the hall. “The arts council shared that vision so collaboration moving forward seemed natural.” With the addition of the arts council pro-

A helpful primer on the election GUEST SHOT Roger Knox So. The ruling Conservatives went and did it. By it, of course, I mean call one of, if not, the longest federal election campaigns in Canadian history. A grand total of 78 days for politicos and political parties to say why their party and candidates are the best and why we, the voting public, must vote for them on Monday, Oct. 19. From what I’ve read, federal election campaigns have to run at least 37 days. As a reporter who has covered a number of federal elections, I can tell you that 37 days feels like 67. So I can only imagine what this campaign is going to feel like by that Monday in October. The writ has been dropped and I, being the helpful guy that I am, have provided a helpful guideline for you leading up to the vote. Why is the election campaign so long? Well, from what I can muster, this is a smart ploy by the ruling Conservatives, who are loaded. And by loaded I mean with money, not booze. The Tories, who receive millions in donations, changed a law that imposed a maximum spending limit of around $25 million on election campaigns, adding about $700,000 for every day beyond the minimum 37 days of a campaign. It is believed that law change

will severely impact the campaigns of the other parties. Is Stephen Harper still prime minister? From what I can gather, in a conversation with veteran federal election reporter Richard Rolke, it’s a definite maybe. Media are referring to him – Harper, not Rolke – as “Conservative leader.” It seems as if once a federal election is called, we have no prime minister. But if there was an emergency of epic proportions before Oct. 19, say, a death of a fellow world leader and Canada was to be represented at the funeral, or, God forbid, an attack on our country, then, yes, Mr. Harper would be prime minister.

“Well, from what I can muster, this is a smart ploy by the ruling Conservatives, who are loaded. And by loaded I mean with money, not booze.” Is Stephen Harper the most hated man in the world? In the world, no. That would be that Minnesota dentist who shot Cecil the lion trophy hunting in Africa. Mr. Harper, if you believe social media posts, would be the second most hated man in the world. I mean, I saw one post where some woman in this country died and in her obituary, she encouraged people to honour her last wish and vote Harper out. Enough said. Is Justin truly not ready to run the country? Aren’t those the worst TV ads you’ve ever seen, and a com-

plete waste of money? In my opinion, if Justin Trudeau can lead the Liberal party he can lead the country. Is our riding still called OkanaganShuswap? No. Once the election was called, our riding became North Okanagan-Shuswap. We will have a new MP, right? Right. Colin Mayes, the former Salmon Arm mayor, is resigning after decades in political office. Who will replace him? Well, that, of course, is up to voters. This riding, even before the name change, has long been a Conservative stronghold. Before Colin Mayes, the MP was Spallumcheen’s Darrel Stinson. The Conservative candidate is Mel Arnold, a resident of Salmon Arm, which goes against the North Okanagan-Salmon Arm candidate pattern. Who are the other candidates in our riding? Those that have been declared – and parties have until Sept. 28 to declare a candidate – also includes Cindy Derkaz, Liberals; Chris George, Green Party; Jacqui Gingras, NDP. There will be all-candidate forums throughout the riding, a chance for you to get out, meet the candidates and hear their platforms. Trust me, over the next 73 days, you’ll hear plenty, including in this newspaper. If you want change in this riding and this country, you have to make it happen. Voter turnout is critical. Cast your vote on Oct. 19. -Roger Knox is a reporter with the Shuswap Market News’ sister paper, the Vernon Morning Star.

You’re invited to Peace in the Park. On Saturday, Aug. 29, the Salmon Arm Chamber of Commerce, Downtown Salmon Arm and representatives from the yoga community will be holding the first of what’s expected to be an annual community yoga event. “Peace in the Park is an open invitation event for everyone to join us in celebrating yoga health and wellness by participating in a morning yoga session, crystal singing bowl and meditation,” states a news release. Jim Kimmerly, president of the chamber, explains the yoga event is part of a plan to utilize beautiful Marine Park more often. “The long-term goal is to create a real topquality social gathering place,” he says. “If people have relatives in town, they’ll be able to say, ‘Let’s go to Marine Park – there’s always something going on.’” The Aug. 29 event begins with a community, all-level yoga class at 10 am. For those who are new to yoga, there will be a variety of poses and stretches geared towards all ages and levels of experience. The morning will finish with crystal singing bowls and the remaining time will be dedicated to meditation. “By 12:30 p.m. you’ll be feeling incredibly refreshed and ready for the rest of your day,” predicts the news release. Peace in the Park is free, but participants are asked to consider bringing a non-perishable food donation for Second Harvest as the charity of choice for this year’s event. Also useful would be a yoga mat, sun protection and water. Visit www.sachamber.bc.ca, www.salmonarmdowntown.com or any of the local yoga studios for more details.

Oates taps back into Delta blues

Friday, August 14, 2015 Shuswap Market News

JULIE

Elder: Once a new guy in music, Oates now mentors newcomers. By Dale Bass BLACK PRESS

John Oates is quite content being “the old guy.” “It’s a great place to be,” he said. “It’s the place where a lot of creative people and musicians would like to be, where I can indulge myself, still being respectful to the music. But it’s fun.” With a ranch full of rescued animals — a passion fuelled by his wife’s farming roots — a pilot for a new television series in the can and plenty of music still to be sung, Oates said his life is full. There’s still time, though, to head out alongside the other musician who soared to the top of the charts with Oates — Daryl Hall — and bring back memories of the days when the two of them were first singing Sara Smile, Rich Girl, Private Eyes and Kiss On My List. It’s still fun, several decades later, performing those songs with Hall, Oates said, and some of those hits will find their way to the set list when Oates performs at the Salmon Arm Roots and Blues Festival, which runs from Aug. 14 to Aug. 16. He’s got an acoustic version of the song he said remains special to him to this day – She’s Gone, a song released 42 years ago – “because that’s the one that put us on the map. It defined us and it has such an enduring quality.” It’s part of a body of work that saw the pair inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame last year. These days, Oates is more likely to be found belting out the blues, rhythm and blues, the Delta blues. “Now I’ve got an opportunity to tap back into that,” he said. “It’s fun for me. There are so many sides in that genre, real Americana. It’s open for everything.”

PHOTO CONTRIBUTED

■ Part of one of the most successful duos in rock history that sold more than 82 million albums, John Oates has released five albums of his own since going solo in 1999. He performs on the Shade Stage Saturday at 4:30 and closes the Main Stage Sunday night. His love of the blues started early, he said, “because it felt like a good home for me.” It’s the inspiration for the pilot he’s made for Good Road to Follow, a series he hopes will find a home. It’s all about hopping into his old red Ford pickup and heading out on the roads less-travelled, looking for unique characters, interesting stops and music that needs to be heard. Unlike Sonic Highways, the television series the Foo Fighters made — which he said was filmed with the sole goal of creating an album — Oates developed his concept “with a historian point

of view.” Much like music historian Alan Lomax, he’s looking for the real roots music, songs and singers who do it for the love and have never been recorded. The plan is to make that music available for download after each episode. Oates said he’s looking forward to the Salmon Arm event, one he’s never been at before, because it brings him back to B.C., a province he loves to visit — albeit usually in the winter when he hits the slopes. One of the reasons he agreed to the festival was because he saw his friend Marty Stuart is heading here as well,

and he’s looking forward to making some music with Elephant Revival, a Colorado band known for its Americana/folk sound. Once the new guy on the musical block, Oates finds himself mentoring young musicians. One band he’s particularly keen on is Paper Bird, a folk/pop band in Denver. While he loves being able to work with upand-coming musicians, Oates said he’s also frustrated because the business has changed so much since Hall and Oates released their debut album in 1972. “[Music] companies are just looking at the bottom line,” he said. “They’re not welcom-

ing for young musicians. I love being inspired by these young artists but I feel bad at the same time.” He doesn’t dwell on it. Life’s pretty good for him right now, he said. There are all the animals back on the ranch — alpacas, llamas, emus, puppies — he’s working on new projects and still making music with his friend Hall. “I get to travel, I’ve got a great band,” he said. “This is the perfect time now.” Oates shares his talent and love of the blues at 4:30 p.m. Saturday on the Shade Stage and again on the Main Stage Sunday at 10 p.m.

FIRST RESPONDERS SAVE LIVES.

When it comes to saving lives, minutes—and even seconds—are critical. The South Shuswap First Responders and the North Shuswap First Responders are highly-trained volunteers who live in our communities and are on-call 24 hours a day, seven days a week, to provide vital, life-saving interventions, often up to 15 minutes or more before ambulances are able to be dispatched to the scene of a motor vehicle accident or medical emergency. Because of this, and because they receive only limited operational funding from government, Copper Island Fine Homes is proud to support their work by designating them the recipient of the first annual Copper Island Charity Classic Golf Tournament.

Skyler Sampolio was last seen in Kamloops on Aug. 1, and had reportedly gone missing during the Kamloops Pow Wow. Kamloops RCMP confirmed on Aug. 9 that Sampolio’s body had been discovered in the South Thompson.

At about 7:30 a.m. on Aug. 1, Kamloops RCMP received a report that someone had jumped from the Yellowhead Bridge into the South Thompson; however, police and other emergency services personnel who conducted a subsequent search were unable to locate anyone. A service for Sampolio was planned for Aug. 13 at the Adams Lake Indian Band spiritual centre.

Author seeks witnesses to UFO sighting By Martha Wickett

MARKET NEWS STAFF

Massive, grey, saucer-shaped. Unusual air traffic is reported to have entered the skies of Salmon Arm in April of this year. And a New Westminster man would like to hear more about it. Rod Drown is writing a book on Unidentified Flying Objects – or UFOs – in B.C. dating back to 1890s. He noticed what he describes as “one of the most dramatic sightings I have ever heard of” when he was looking over the National UFO Reporting Centre website. There he found the description of a UFO sighting which occurred April 2, 2015 at 5:30 p.m. It was reported on May 3 and posted to the site on May 8. Its location was Salmon Arm, its shape was listed as ‘disk,’ and the duration of the sighting was 20 minutes. The posting reads as follows: “Massive grey saucer shape, low altitude, moved towards me. “I was inspecting a new lake lot we bought and were building on when I saw what looked like snow on the mountain. It soon became clear it was not snow and the saucer object with a large deep belly was moving towards my position. It was still sunny but there was no reflection. “The craft was massive and grey like concrete. Made no sound and left no visible trails. Hovering at 600-1000

feet. About the width of two football fields. No details like doors or markings could be seen. I chose to leave before it got closer. “People near Glen Eden, or across the tracks downtown must have saw something.” Drown would like to hear from the author of the post or anyone else who might have witnessed the spectacle. He is writing his book because “UFOs to me are the greatest mystery of modern times” and he thinks a book dedicated exclusively to sightings in B.C. would be a valuable addition to existing literature on the topic. Drown estimates there are dozens of good sightings in B.C. in an average year and offers a number of websites which list them. For sightings in B.C., he suggests: http://ufobc. ca/, or, in Canada: http://www.canadianuforeport.com/survey/ UFOsOverCanada.pdf. The April sighting from Salmon Arm is not the only one in the Shuswap reported by a newspaper. In January 2004, the Eagle Valley News in Sicamous reported sightings by Mara Lake residents, Darryl and Lisa Schwartz. They had been seeing unidentified objects in the skies from their home throughout November of 2003, but one night during a snowmobile trip in a nearby mountain, Darryl reported seeing a multi-coloured disk hovering above the trees about a mile away.

n Author Rod Drown is seeking information regarding a UFO sighting that is reported to have occurred on April 2 in Gleneden. He watched the object for about 15 minutes. At that time he described it this way: “It didn’t look like anything I’ve ever seen. It was diamondshaped with a cluster of lights and was the size of a three-storey house. It hovered like a helicopter...” He became frightened and left. On Dec. 26, the couple saw another strange object from outside their house. It was zipping back and forth, at tree line, with many

multi-coloured lights visible. Lisa recorded the disk-shaped object on video, and also called the police. A constable who was quoted in the newspaper confirmed that he saw “a bunch of lights” unlike anything he had seen before. If you happened to have witnessed the April 2 unexplained sighting in Salmon Arm this year, you can contact Drown via email at: rpdrown@hotmail. com.

Kids Oral Care Tips for the Summer (NC) School’s out for the summer, which means kids are ready to run wild and enjoy the freedom. From summer camp to fun-filled days of activities, it can be a challenge to stick to a routine during those busy “off schedule” months. Good oral care has a direct link to improved overall health. Here are some tips and tricks to ensure kids are practicing good oral care, while they’re on the go. 1) Encourage kids to drink plenty of water to quench thirst, rather than sugary drinks like juice and pop that can harm teeth and potentially lead to cavities. It’s important to stay hydrated, especially during the hottest months of the year.

2) For playdates, picnics or summer school, pack your kids healthy snacks like veggie sticks and dip to avoid snacking on junk food like candy and chocolate bars. When too much sugar is consumed and teeth are not brushed properly and regularly, plaque can build up. Plaque contains bacteria, which can contribute to tooth decay and gum disease. The acid produced by bacteria in the plaque attacks the enamel which leads to tooth pain and sensitivity. Acidic foods and drinks like fruit juice and soda also demineralize and soften the tooth surface, making it more susceptible to erosion and loss of enamel. 3) To ensure those pearly whites stay clean and strong,

Try an electric toothbrush with elongated bristles that allow for greater access to ensure a deeper clean. 2) Give your teeth an extra boost, because let’s face it, teeth aren’t always naturally white. There are several

tooth whitening products that can help achieve goals of a whiter smile. For example, the Arm & Hammer Truly Radiant Rejuvenating Toothpaste is clinically proven to whiten teeth in just five days. 3) Make your brushing count. Many people don’t brush their teeth for long enough, which can lead to plaque buildup. Try humming your favourite song while you brush for two minutes to blast away unwanted plaque. It’s

PEDERSON, GLEN RONALD AUGUST 18, 1930 – JUNE 23, 2015 Glen passed away peacefully with family at his side on June 23, 2015 at Bastion Place in Salmon Arm at the age of 84. Glen was born in hospital in Salmon Arm on August 18, 1930 to Hazel and Mathius Pederson. He lived in and around the Shuswap as a boy until he was 8 then moved to Vancouver. At 17, he started work for the railroad out of Beavermouth until he transferred to Revelstoke. Glen married the love of his life, Margo, in 1950 and started work in the sawmill business first in Chase, Smithers, Maple Ridge and finally out of Sicamous. He loved to fish, play golf and watch hockey, football and especially the Blue Jays baseball. We are blessed with so many fond memories of going up the Shuswap Lake in the boat that he built. Glen enjoyed trips to Reno, Las Vegas and the horse track for the races. He loved to play his guitar, sing songs and was known to have the “odd cold beer”. Glen was a hard-working, caring man and loved having his family and friends close to him. Glen was predeceased by his mother Hazel, father Mathius, brothers Clayton and Ted, sisters Olive and Evelyn. He is lovingly remembered by his loving wife of 64 years, Margo, son Ronald (Theresa) Pederson, daughter Roxanne (Lou) Nish and grandchildren; Matthew, Shelley, Dawn, Keith, Lorraine, Traci, Connie, Jeff, Tara and a multitude of great grandchildren. He is also survived by his brother John (Donna) Pederson. A celebration of life in honour of Glen will be held at Shuswap Lake Community Center, 2504 Centennial Drive, Lower Level, August 22 at 2:00pm. Service to be followed by BBQ with family and friends. On line condolences may be sent to Glen’s obituary at www.bowersfuneralservice.com If so desired contributions in memory of Glen may be made to the Canadian Lung Association and would be greatly appreciated.

Goodbyes are not forever, goodbyes are not the end. They simply mean I’ll miss you until we meet again. Knowing she’ll be standing with open arms to welcome us to a new life. But until then; so long and we will see you later. Cindy is survived by her husband Neal, her daughter Kelsey, her parents Maurice and Mae Serink, her brother Lorne, sisters Debbie (Doug) Titosky, Valerie (Dave) Stuart and Sherrie (Bob) Moulton as well as her nephew Trevor, niece Nadine and cousin Rose.

Coming Events STEP UP FOR HOSPICE

Until September 2015 Shuswap Hospice Society is promoting a community fundraiser event, Step Up for Hospice. The Hospice is a non-profit organization that provides our community with compassionate support during the dying and grieving process for individuals and their family and friends. Registered Walkers wear a pedometer to keep track of daily steps and have friends and family sponsor them. It’s an easy and fun way to challenge yourself and others by walking more and taking the stairs instead of the elevator! You’re also encouraged to hike the local trails marked with distance markers to help track your steps. Alternatively, you may choose to be a Sponsor and pledge funds to a Registered Walker(s). The pledge can be a lump sum or based on the number of steps a Walker completes for this period of time.

We thank all applicants for their interest in our organization; however, only short listed applicants will be contacted.

New way to help SACL By Barb Brouwer

MARKET NEWS STAFF

It’s all about the bin. Shuswap Association for Community Living (SACL) is launching a new logo and a new fundraising venture. The association is partnering with Inclusion BC (formerly BC Association for Community Living) and Value Village in a new provincewide donation bin program. Eleven B.C. communities are participating in this new initiative. SACL will have three bins placed throughout Salmon Arm, which will display logos for the three partnering organizations – in the parking lots of both Askew’s Foods stores and Outlaws Saloon. “We are grateful to all our community partners in this new fundraising venture,” says SACL executive director JoAnne Crawford, noting individuals who unload the donation bins will be paid the minimum wage and will be supported by SACL staff to empty and transport the donations initially to a storage site donated by AAA Mini Storage. Donations accepted include clothing, including bathing suits, books, CDs, DVDs, records, books, shoes, glassware, pots and pans, sleeping bags, small appliances, sporting gear, stationery supplies and table linens. Once a month the donations will be transported to Value Village in Vernon using courte-

sy vans donated by two local real estate companies. “Our new logo is made up of two individuals shaking hands, and in the background is a house with a window to the community,” says Crawford. SACL supports persons with intellectual disabilities through several programs, including Community Employment Services,

a health, wellness and life skills program, individualized support for clients within the home and community and supported living services to people who are living on their own and semi independently. As well, the Personalized Support Initiative supports people who have been diagnosed with fetal alcohol/autism spectrum

disorder in developing and maintaining independence. “As with all government funded non-profits, we are being asked to do more and more with less and less,” says Crawford of the extensive services SACL provides to clients. “The funds made through this partnership will be used to assist us in the provision of the services we provide.”

YOU WORK. YOU DRIVE. REGARDLESS OF CREDIT HISTORY Society is now bombarded with ads directed at credit challenged or “BAD CREDIT” individuals because the reality is that over 26% of consumers in BC are suffering with some form of credit challenges, in most cases by no fault of their own. If you have a job and believe you can afford card payments but are tired of being turned away at the car dealerships call 1-888-545-7281 or check us out online www.vernonkia.ca and let Dionne go to work on securing you auto financing that is affordable for you.

One by one, the empty boxes in the Drake Equation are being filled in with actual numbers, and it’s looking good. So good that Yuri Milner is spending $100 million of his own money over the next 10 years to fund the search for non-human civilizations orbiting other stars. But it’s a pity that the Philae lander from the European Space Agency’s Rosetta mission didn’t have more time to look for life on Comet 67P/ Churyumov-Gerasimenko. Yuri Milner is a Silicon Valley billionaire who was working on a PhD in theoretical physics at the Russian Academy of Sciences before he moved to the United States and got rich. His money will buy thousands of hours of radio-telescope time each year to look for radio transmissions from other star systems. This represents at least a tenfold increase in the amount of work being done on finding intelligent life elsewhere in the galaxy, and Yuri Milner is no fool. Why does he think it’s worth spending this money now? Probably because the Drake Equation is finally coming into its own. It has seven terms, and American astronomer Frank Drake could not give a value to any of them when he first wrote it in 1961. It was just a formula that would let us estimate the number of civilizations in the Milky Way galaxy when the relevant data eventually became available. To fill in the first three terms, we needed

proposed by astronomers Sir Fred Hoyle and Dr Chandra Wickramasinghe in 1974. Dissatisfied with the notion that Earth was unique, they suggested that not only organic compounds but actual microbes and viruses could travel through interstellar space, dormant but still viable in the liquid water that they suspected was present in the interior of many comets. It sounds weird, but it is just as plausible as the rival hypothesis of an independent origin of life on Earth. Comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko was the firstever opportunity to see if this hypothesis holds water (so to speak). The Philae lander did detect 16 different organic molecules as it bounced along the comet’s surface, but it ended up in the shadows without power to pursue its investigations further. Pity, but there’ll be another comet along in a while. And if it turns out that Hoyle and Wickramasinghe were right, then most of those 144 billion planets will have life on them. The history of evolution on earth tends always to greater complexity, so a fair proportion of them would have intelligent life on them. How many of them have high-tech civilizations on them at the moment, of course, de-

We don’t yet know the answers to any of those questions, but we do know that organic compounds are common even in interstellar space, and that they are continuously raining on our own planet. So the standard assumption is that they somehow combined on Earth to form the first single-celled creatures, and evolution did the rest. But if it were easy for those organic compounds to combine into complex microbes and viruses, then you would expect it to have happened here a number of times. There would be several or many unrelated genetic lineages on Earth – and there aren’t. All life here has a common ancestor. So it must be very rare for life to develop spontaneously. If it actually happened here, it would mean that we are a miracle, and pretty much alone in the galaxy. But maybe the miracle happened on another of those 144 billion planets, billions of years ago, and life has been spreading through the galaxy ever since – not as alien beings on starships, but as microbes and viruses on meteorites and comets. This is the “panspermia” hypothesis, first

to know how many stars there are in the galaxy, how many of them have planets, and how many of those planets are in the “habitable zone” where liquid water can exist. In 1961 the estimate was 100 billion stars. Now it is 400 billion, of which 300 billion are essentially similar to our Sun. Until 1992, we didn’t even know if other stars had planets circling them. Now we can estimate that at least 40 per cent of them do, although the real answer may be almost all of them. (We still cannot detect planets much smaller than Earth.) As for how many planets are in the “habitable” zone, not too close or too far from their parent star, the answer is probably one or two per star. Using the data acquired in the past 20 years, NASA now estimates that there are 144 billion habitable planets in our galaxy. Not all of them will harbour life, of course, but that is a very encouraging number. Other questions remain, however. How many “habitable” planets will actually have life on them? On how many of those planets will an intelligent species appear? How many of those intelligent species will build civilizations that use electromagnetic

Even if you don’t have a green thumb, there are many fruits and vegetables that are easy to grow. Start small with one or two patio pots with cucumbers or tomatoes and go from there. Ask friends or neighbours who garden for some tips. • Sign up for a plot at your local community garden or start a community garden if you don’t have one close by. • Consider joining a local gleaning program.

Attitudes towards animals

Margo Westaway

“The greatness of a nation can be judged by the way its animals are treated.” -Mahatma Gandhi The thrill of the hunt was and still is the blood sport of kings, the aristocracy, the fat cats and the ones that can occasionally spring for it. Karen Blixon from the movie Out of Africa, was of the old ‘glory days,’ when the vast plains teemed with so much wildlife that any animal, reptile or bird was considered fair game. In her letter of 1914, she writes: “I have just spent four weeks in the happy hunting grounds and have emerged from the depths of the great wide open spaces, from the life of prehistoric times, today just as it was a thousand years ago, from meeting with the great beasts of prey, which enthrall one, which obsess one so that one feels that lions are all that one lives for. “I shot 44 head of game - 20 different kinds – deer, zebra, leopard, wildebeest, eland, dik-dik, marabou, jackal, wild boar, one lion, one leopard and a number of large birds.” It was a killing freefor-all, with no boundaries, conservation, legal repercussions or public protest to worry about, but times have changed. Fast-forward to the recent news of an American dentist who had just ‘bagged’ a well-known and photographed lion named Cecil. That trophy-worthy old soul not only was lured from the safety of the game reserve

transport and slaughter them in inhumane conditions, when you know they are all sentient beings? When will you stop using animals for conflicts, cruel sporting events, zoos, heavy burdens, experiments and sex? Why do you still allow useless culling and the killing for aphrodisiacs, ivory, rituals, religious purposes, rugs, trophy heads, ashtrays and whatever else you think you need and want? Why do you conPLEASE READ THE FINE PRINT: Offers valid until August 31, 2015. See toyota.ca for complete details on all cash back offers.

GAIA GARDENING

and shot, but also suffered for 40 hours after the guy’s arrow failed to make a ‘clean kill,’ Then, once the dispatching was done and photo ops over, his noble head was severed and shipped home for his man cave. Judging by his media profile, he clearly took pride in his hunting prowess – just as Karen did back then - except now this modern-day ‘mzungu’ has royally shot himself in the proverbial foot, and he was swiftly made to stand trial in front of the legal, social and talk show firing squad. Yep – his was a bit of a big game hunter blunder, but don’t come crying to me. The worldwide uproar over Cecil’s slaying has once again ignited a public debate about trophy hunting and the psychoanalyzing by behaviorists peering into the ‘belly of the beast,’ but perhaps Cecil might’ve had a pretty good scope on things regarding our actions and attitudes towards animals, and I wonder what his thoughts were (if we could have asked), as he stared at that camera – at us – before he drew his last breath? I think Cecil might’ve said that some of our species have come a long way since the caveman days, but we’ve sure got a long ways to go yet. He’d probably ask us some pretty pointed questions too, such as why are we still pussyfooting around the fact that the earth’s ecosystems are collapsing at an alarming rate – along with a mass extinction event – and why aren’t we doing more to stop it? Why do you turn a blind eye to those that treat animals as though they’re dumb beasts devoid of emotions or feelings of pain, deprive them of basic needs and comforts, force them to exist in tiny, crowded cages and enclosures and

tinue to encroach onto what little space we have left to survive and why do you still pollute and poison the air, water and soil when we all depend on it to live – including you? Cecil might feel that his death would not be wasted if it triggers a massive shift in conscientiousness and a recalibration of our mentality around how we care and share our lives with animals, and that changing our human nature is going to be a long shot, but it’s still within range.
