Roots & Blues gets electric start By Barb Brouwer

MARKET NEWS STAff

An air of optimism followed Friday night’s electric start to the 23rd annual Roots and Blues Festival. This, despite the fact attendance was down by 2,000. Roots and Blues numbers were 6,500 people Friday night, 7,400 on Saturday and 6,900 Sunday for a total attendance of 21,000.

Salmon Arm Folk Music Society chair Lody Kieken said Friday’s thunderstorm is believed to be a big factor in the drop in overall sales. Kieken said his initial gut reaction to Friday night’s smaller audience was, “this is a disaster.” But he had a quick word with himself and acknowledged that in light of what goes on in the world in terms of real disasters like fires and floods, this was not a disaster.

As Kieken and many others who attended Friday night sensed, the electric energy went far beyond lightning, with performers and festivalgoers bent on having fun regardless. “I thought Oysterband should have been given an award for carrying on despite the rain, wind and a half-empty field,” he said. “They gave an outstanding performance.” He concurs with office manager

Cindy Diotte, who believes people who usually attend Friday night and buy three-day passes gave this Friday night a miss along with the extended passes. As to the financial outcome, Kieken said that would come later. “I think it might be a break-even year,” he said. “We were really agSee Performers on page A3

Bringing the Best to Your Table B.C. Bartlett Pears

Continued from front gressive over the year, cutting the budget wherever we could without cutting the experience.” Acknowledging staff and volunteers who worked so hard to make the festival a success, Kieken gave a special nod to production manager David Gonella’s site enhancements, organization and calming influence. “Cindy (Diotte) broke her leg and ran everything out of her house,” he said of the office. “She has done phenomenal work, she just leads the festival.” Kieken also expressed appreciation for new volunteer co-ordinator Jeff Topham’s efforts – something that was echoed by many volunteers, who said they were very happy with their experience this year. As were the RCMP, whose report Monday morning was almost glowing. “Overall the crowd appeared to have a wonderful time: There were no major police incidents associated directly with the festival,” wrote Staff. Sgt. Scott West. “The RCMP did see an increase in call volume associated with having a lot more people in town but from a policing perspective everything went well and the interaction with volunteers and staff was positive.” Bard member and festival cultural committee head Elaine Holmes described this year’s festival as much more relaxed. “The process of putting the festival together was so smooth because everyone was onboard and really positive,” she said. “Friday night was crazy with the pyrotechnics and brought people together in a shared experience. You can’t buy shit like that.” Board member Joyce Kenoras called the last year exciting but challenging, with a diverse board that has taken the opportunity to make some

In charge of the Folk Music Society’s Outreach Committee, Kenoras would like to expand First Nations and local talent opportunities at the festival. “I would like them to have their own place here, maybe a bit like the Shuswap Idol,” she said. “We’re such a community driven festival and I would like to make them a part of the festival.” Kenoras, who has been a volunteer with the festival for many years, says it is hard to express the depth of her gratitude to the many volunteers who make the festival run smoothly. That attitude of gratitude shone through artistic director Peter North’s Monday morning festival recap. Night and day! “A year ago today, I was despondent and angry about some of the abuse the festival took,” he said of some behind-the-scenes administrative issues. “Today is just a totally different feeling.” Frustrated (happily) like many festivalgoers with running back and forth between stages and having to miss

hearing some performers in favour of others, North said he felt a sense of jubilation Sunday night. “The response from the musicians was over the top,” he said, maintaining festival success comes from having really talented musicians who are also really nice human beings. “And that’s what we had. Nobody wanted to be on the bus hiding away; everyone was collaborating, they all wanted to see each other and I saw them in the merch tent buying each other’s CDs.” North says that before going onstage Sunday night, John Oates told him we have a beautiful festival and that it is refreshing that everyone on the site just wants to listen to music. “Him, Marty (Stuart) and Cyril (Neville) talked about how the big, cool American festivals have become huge corporate brandings, with too much alcohol, while this one has such a great vibe,” says North. Like board chair Lody Kieken, North is pumped by production manager David Gonella’s return to the festival after a two-year hiatus and his successful improvements in making the site more com-

fortable for patrons. He also had high praise for busking co-ordinator Roxy Roth, whose organizing went beyond musical artists to include puppets and stilt walkers, which helped turn the event back into a folk roots festival. “It was nice having so many artistic directors from other festivals here offering their advice and getting a feel for what this festival is like,” he says. “They hadn’t been here for 15 years and they sensed we’re on a really good road.” North says there was a great deal of interest in and questions about where he found artists like Hanggai and Amadou Fall, with other directors saying we’ve got to get her (Naomi Wachira). On the business side, North says organizers have to go out and find more sponsorships. “We remain fiscally responsible and I think we did a lot with what we had. I am proud of the lineup,” he says, noting organizers budgeted for the numbers to be down a bit. “But we have to keep dealing with the reality that this is a destination festival and we have to find ways to deal with accommodation issues.”

Residents campaign for channel dredging By Lachlan Labere

MARKET NEWS STAFF

Unless the Sicamous channel is dredged, the community may see some of its tourism economy slip away. This was part of the message delivered to District of Sicamous council by Mary-Ann Easton and Bill Anderson, who served as a delegation representing stratas for the Riverside and the Narrows. With the low water in the channel, marinas for the two condominium complexes have seen their number of usable boat slips reduced by 57, while a total of 173 boat slips throughout the channel, including those in business and residential marinas, are now unusable. As Easton explained, the reduction in usable slips is a result of a low snow pack, little rainfall and the subsequent rapid drop in water levels as of late throughout the Shuswap. Exacerbating the matter for Easton and other Riverside owners is the fact their marina’s dock is constructed to current federal govern-

ment standards, requiring a 1.5 metre water depth (at low water) beneath. As a result, half the moorage at Riverside is now suspended about three feet above the water. Anderson said the foreshore lease for the Narrows is coming up for renewal in about three years and residents there are concerned they could find themselves in an even worse situation regarding the availability of usable slips, if and when their dock is reconstructed to today’s standards. But neither Easton nor Anderson were upset with the standards, designed to protect fish habitat. Instead, they are focused on getting the channel dredged, which they say could locate all the slips in water greater than the 1.5 metres, benefitting boaters, fish habitat and the local economy in general. Anderson noted that fish are nowhere to be seen around the docks and shoreline in the channel as the temperature at the shallow depths is uninhabitable. “The other factors considered is that with the increas-

ing sediment, milfoil and grasses in the channel, it decreases the flow and heightens the potential for flooding issues as seen in 2012,” said Anderson. It could be said Easton and Anderson were preaching to the converted. Prior to their delegation, council had discussed the need for dredging, and asked staff to come back with a report on the possible options. Coun. Todd Kyllo provided some background, noting a study on dredging options completed in 2003, paid for in part by businesses and stratas on the channel, shows how dredging would make the channel better for fish. “Basically, what’s happening is the channel is silted in with a black sediment which, when the sun shines on it – it’s like tinfoil underneath the water… It heats the water up too high so fry don’t even want to go there,” said Kyllo, adding the study also showed higher numbers of fish were found in dredged areas. “So basically, the study… showed it could be more environmentally friendly for

Because of low water, 173 boat slips can’t be used. the fish, and it would create the economic setting that drives the channel today, and yet DFO (Fisheries and Oceans Canada) is still sitting on it.” Coun. Jeff Mallmes confirmed that while the provincial government has long been amenable to dredging, the federal government, particularly Fisheries and

Oceans, has been reluctant to support dredging, placing priority on the protection of fish habitat. However, Mallmes said he’s been in discussion with consultant Barry Penner, B.C.’s former environment minister who was influential in getting approval for a dredging project in the lower Fraser River. Mallmes said Penner’s ser-

vices could cost the district up to $30,000, but the end result might be worth the investment. “Thirty grand could get it to the point where maybe it could be dredged. It’s a tough road that one,” said Mallmes, who said a community effort may be needed to get the federal government onboard.

Chamber takes election questions By Tracy Hughes

MARKET NEWS STAFF

Federal election candidates will need to think on their feet during the Salmon Arm All Candidates Forum hosted by the Salmon Arm Chamber of Commerce. While each candidate will be given a chance to craft an opening and closing statement, much of the time will be devoted to public questions that the candidates will not have heard beforehand.

“We want the responses to be spontaneous. It is not our practice to give the candidates the questions in advance,” says Corryn Grayston, general manager of the chamber. That being said, there will not be an open microphone for those in attendance to ask questions. Instead, the chamber is accepting questions from the public. The questions will be compiled into categories and condensed into as suc-

cinct a format as possible. The board of the chamber will review and select the questions based on the submissions received. This is to save time and make the question period run smoothly. Questions can be submitted through the chamber’s website at www.sachamber.bc.ca. The forum will take place on Thursday, Sept. 17 at the SASCU Recreation Centre auditorium from 6 to 8 p.m.

Election: Politicians pitch to parents By Tom Fletcher BLACK PRESS

Parents are spending the money and feeling the love like never before from parties contesting the Oct. 19 federal election. Prime Minister Stephen Harper expanded his favoured approach of direct payments, increasing the Conservative government’s child care benefit plan that has been compared to the former Family Allowance. The increase was set up to produce bonus cheques to eligible parents in July, retroactive to the start of the year. Payments went up from $100 to $160 a month for each child under six, with a new $60 payment for those aged seven to 17, payable to families re-

gardless of income or method of child care. Liberal leader Justin Trudeau responded by promising a modified version that would phase out the benefit for high-income families and increase payments for the rest. Building into its calculations a proposed income tax cut for middle and low-income people, the party estimates a two-parent family with an income of $90,0000 and two children would receive $490 a month tax free, compared to the Conservative program of $275 a month after taxes. The Liberals calculate that a single parent with $30,000 income and one child would receive $533 a month, up from $440 under Con-

servative child benefit and tax rules. NDP leader Thomas Mulcair has offered to retain the Conservative payments and expand Quebec’s subsidized daycare program across the country, with a maximum payment of $15 a day and a longterm goal of creating one million new spaces across the country. Green Party leader Elizabeth May is also offering a universal federally-funded child care program, including support for workplace daycare through a direct tax credit to employers of $1,500 a year. The Green Party also wants to appoint a national children’s commissioner to advise government on policy.

Action needed on climate change

Kim Campbell was infamously quoted (or misquoted) as saying that a 47-day election was no time to discuss serious issues. Fortunately, we are in the early days of an election campaign that is almost twice that long. It’s also unusual to have an election campaign during the height of summer, when the weather is often top of mind. So let’s have a debate about global warming. Not whether or not it exists, which has been thoroughly established. There is a worldwide scientific consensus, and every major political party accepts that it is happening, whether grudgingly or not. There is also ample anecdotal evidence in the form of temperature records that have fallen by the score across B.C. We also have the raging wildfires and water restrictions – though not as severely here as in other regions – to show us what global warming will mean for us on a local level. Climate change is real. We now need to determine what the best course of action is towards change of our own. There are dozens of options, including changing the way we generate power, increasing energy efficiency, tax incentives, more spending on public transit, and changes in urban planning. Depending on how we choose to proceed, we could find ourselves in a future with electric cars springing up everywhere, as in Norway, and with solar farms popping up across the Prairies. Wind farms are another option. Or we could simply hunker down and concentrate on using less energy and using what we do create more efficiently. Any of those options is better than our current course, which is barely better than nothing. Our major opposition parties may be willing to attack the government on the environment, but they are still following rather than leading the debates on energy and climate change. As usual, it’s up to Canadians to push for the changes we need in Ottawa. –Black Press

OPINION

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

Turn your eyes to the night sky On the evening of Aug. 14, along with countless others in North America, I stood beneath a new moon looking up at the night sky, watching as it came alive during the Perseid meteor shower. Since then, I have received a number of emails from readers of this column wanting to learn a little about astronomy. Well I’m the right person to ask when it comes having a ‘little knowledge’ of astronomy. I most certainly do not claim to know a heck of a lot, but here’s what little advice I can pass along. Start by reading any basic book or magazine that you can get your hands on about astronomy – even if all you do is leaf through some of the articles that catch your attention or simply look at all the pictures. You will be surprised at how many facts and tidbits of information you pick up. Visit your local library and browse through the astronomy section. You can also surf the Internet for information under astronomy. You’ll discover a vast array of information,

THE GREAT OUTDOORS James Murray as well as be able to look at some pretty amazing photos. The problem with looking for information on the Internet is that it can be very scientific in nature and hard to fully understand if you don’t know the terminology. I started out by looking through someone else’s telescope. I asked a few questions and then decided to spend what little money I had on a subscription to an astronomy magazine. There are a number of periodicals that cater to amateur astronomers. I subscribe to SkyNews simply because it is a Canadian publication. This particular magazine provides monthly calendars and star charts, a wealth of

sky watching tips, amazing pictures and up-to-date information on new products and discoveries. You can also subscribe to an astronomy podcast, such as What’s Up in Astronomy, StarDate or SkyWatch that are free. You can search for them in iTunes and a number of other podcast directories. One thing you will have to purchase in order to get started in sky watching is a star chart or ‘map of the sky,’ which will enable you to determine what you are looking at while gazing up at the night sky. Again, you can download star charts free from the Internet. Once you’ve equipped yourself with a map/star chart, you will need to find some place that is dark enough to begin observing the sky – some place far enough away from light pollution and the glare of city lights. It is certainly not necessary to buy an expensive telescope right off the top because you can see a great deal with the naked eye. By observing with only your eyes, you will really get a

true feeling of how the ancient astronomers studied the night sky. I know it may sound sort of strange for a person my age, but sometimes I just like to lie down on the grass and look up. The night sky takes on a whole other dimension from this position. It sort of gives you a feeling of being all alone, drifting across a vast universe filled with planets and stars. Locate the North Star and then begin to follow your ‘map of the sky’ across the night sky. (Make sure you have the correct star chart to coincide with the date and location.) If you can, try to get your hands on a pair of 10x50 binoculars. You can see a lot through simple binoculars. Once you look through a telescope, however, everything changes – a whole new world literally opens up, right there in front of your eyes. Events such as the Perseid meteor shower are but a glimpse of what’s out there to see. There is a whole cosmos to explore in the deep, dark depths of the night sky.

VIEW POINT

Proportional representation more fair In reference to letter 7 August, “Our voting system has a history of success,” it is too bad Mr. Schalm’s idea of parliamentary success is based on a history lesson that he missed. British democracy did not look similar to present day democracy until after women’s suffrage – approx. 1919. So, to say Britain was a bastion of democracy in the time of Henry

VIII is stretching it a bit. At the turn of the 20th Century both in Canada and Britain, only male land owners could vote, or about one in seven people. It appears with Mr. Schalm’s ideology, he would prefer that period in history, when the bullying minority subjugated the majority to its will. Quite frankly, much as it is to this day with the Harper gov-

ernment. We haven’t progressed past this medieval form of parliament. Due to human nature, the party that wins (sometimes with as low as 35 per cent of the common vote), never wants to lose power; hence, no change. This system is open to moral corruption as in the Conservatives’ socalled ‘Fair Elections Act,’ that is only fair to

Conservatives. It is up to us the electorate, to push for proportional representation, which hastens co-operation between adversaries rather than contempt. It is obvious Mr. Schalm is deceiving the public with his misinformation and Conservative agenda. Jim Hauser

Raising minimum wage a slippery slope A recent letter to the editor advocating for increased minimum wages in B.C., as a means of lifting children out of poverty, is a red herring. Citing statistics from a youth advocacy group which claims widespread poverty, the writer says the solution is to raise parents income through an increase in the minimum wage. A rising tide lifts all ships and that is the intended result of advocacy groups, whose sole intent is to put more immediate dollars in their pockets with no regard for the downstream consequences, which can be devastating for small business. More than 400,000 small businesses in B.C., defined as em-

ploying fewer than 50 people, employ 1.1 million British Columbians. These are, to a large extent, family owned and operated, and work in an extremely competitive environment, rife with government red tape and taxes. A significant increase in the minimum wage would very likely lead to a decrease in employment as the owners struggle with overhead. Further up the food chain, key longtime employees making significantly more than minimum wage will expect to keep their advantage over minimum wage earners with a significant wage increase of their own. The only way to fund these demands is to increase business rev-

to statistics such as the minimum wage as they demand more from the public purse. The letter writer suggests there is nothing to be afraid of when considering the issue of raising minimum wages in B.C. Wages and prices are part of the natural cycle of supply and demand in the market economy we enjoy in this civilized country. Legislating any part of that equation is the slippery slope toward more government and less freedom which I would suggest is indeed something to be afraid of. John Trainor

enue by raising prices, or lowering overhead by reducing service or laying off lower earning workers. Few of these activists live in the real world and think nothing of indebting the future to satisfy their current demands. Most of us have worked for minimum wage or less in our lives with summer student jobs, or early in careers where the skills learned carry us on to our adult careers. I don’t know that anyone should expect a minimum wage job is going to allow them to live comfortably in today’s world, anymore than it did decades ago. Many of these poverty activist groups however are a cog in the wheel of the public unions which look

SOUTH SHUSWAP Festival is finger-pickin’ good Take a lowbacked lawn chair and a sun hat and enjoy a wonderful, family friendly day of bluegrass and old-time music at beautiful Sorrento Centre this Saturday, Aug. 22. NimbleFingers is a music-lovers’ festival, where an international lineup of stellar oldtime and bluegrass acts take the stage, this year with music from noon to 9 p.m. Bookended by a weeklong music workshop, the festival has the good fortune of drawing upon the incredible talent of their world-class faculty for their lineup of performers on two stages. This year NimbleFingers is thrilled to welcome the smokin’ bluegrass sounds of Jeff Scroggins and Colorado, and Canadian folk star Old Man Luedecke, The New Reeltime Travellers with their high-energy, as well as the simple and beautifully crafted new-old country and bluegrass duets of Seattle-based Cahalen Morrison and Eli West. The NimbleFingers Allstars! will be doing a classic bluegrass set midafternoon. Vancouver Island-based bands Annie Lou as well as The Cumberland Brothers will take the stage, along with

the oldtime sounds of Toronto’s Lonesome Ace Stringband and the haunting ballads and crankies of southwest Virginia’s Anna and Elizabeth. Last but not least, Seattle-based The Tallboys Trio, and Albertabased Kayla and Matt Hotte and Victoria’s Pennyless Duo will take the stage. Besides the fantastic music, organizers have made a commitment to sustainability at the festival. This year, both stages will be powered by bike and solar power. Yes, there will be bikes to jump on to keep the music rolling. As well as music, the festival features delicious food vendors and artisans, along with vendors offering mandolins, guitars, ukuleles, bows, picks, books and lots of other musical paraphernalia. There will be a vintage record vendor and a couple of handmade instrument makers, original letterpress posters, gorgeous handmade jewelry, NimbleFingers T-shirts, and a whole lot more. There will be a super-creative, all-ages craft area, and delicious produce available grown by the Sorrento Centre in their own organic farm.

Forest stewardship plans failing By Tom Fletcher BLACK PRESS

The B.C. government’s forest stewardship plans for Crown land are unenforceable, lack measurable results and are not producing innovative forest management, according to an investigation by the Forest Practices Board. The board reviewed 43 stewardship plans from all regions of B.C., prepared under provincial law by tenure holders including forest companies and communities. There has been “no improvement” in problems identified by a similar review in 2006, said Forest Practices Board chair Tim Ryan. The investigation found that many of the plans cover “vast and overlapping areas of the province, and were written using legal language that makes them very difficult for public understanding or review.” The five-year plans are supposed to be approved after measurable and verifiable results and strategies are established and public input is obtained. Many have been extended without further public review and more are due for extension or renewal in the next year, the board says. The board conducts

independent investigations of Crown forest licences. Its reports and results of the latest province-wide investigation can bee found at www.bcfpb.ca.

Southern B.C. to lead growth

B.C.’s economy will grow at a “modest” 2.7 per cent this year, then accelerate above three per cent as major projects in northern B.C. get going in late 2016, according to the latest forecast by Central 1

Credit Union. Low interest rates, a low dollar and recovering demand in the U.S. will help the Vancouver and southern B.C region’s export and service industries most this year, said Bryan Yu, senior economist with the trade association for B.C. credit unions. Manufacturing, tourism, TV and film and agriculture are expected to lead the way. Slow global demand, particularly from China, is expected to dampen growth in northern B.C.

and the Kootenays, where mining and resources are key drivers. “Northern B.C. is poised to grow at a faster rate in late 2016 onwards with the start of one liquefied natural gas terminal and pipeline, the Site C dam and other major projects,” Yu said. While B.C. residents working in the oil sands are at greater risk, low oil prices are generally positive for the B.C. economy, with lower costs for businesses and consumers.

INFORMATION DESIGNED TO PROMOTE AND ENHANCE YOUR WELLBEING

No ifs, and or butts Look down - way down. What do you see when you visit businesses, shopping malls, parks, beaches or walking trails? We are often greeted by cigarette butts littering our communities, our pristine forest trails and our sandy beaches. We also see butt litter near grassy road sides or slowly trickling down to our water drains. Cigarette butts are ranked as one of Canada’s leading causes of litter. Cigarette filters are made of plas-tic so they can take up to fifteen years to bio-degrade. That means there are cigarette filters hanging around today that may even be from the 90s! Filters contain 160 toxic chemicals of which 60 can cause cancer and when they get wet those toxins can leach into our natural environment. Our hot, dry summers in combination with a forested landscape

make us especially vulnerable to forest fires that destroy much of our pristine wilderness and put our communities at risk. Province wide, since January 1, 2015 there have been a total of 279 fires attributed to smoking materials with total losses at almost $2.8 million. Are all fires caused by cigarette butts carelessly flung from a hand? No, but many have been caused by discarded cigarettes. The Barriere fire in 2003 is one example of fire caused by a cigarette - seventy homes and

twenty six thousand hectares of forest were destroyed. It’s concerning that some people continue to throw their still glowing cigarettes out of car windows or toss butts on the ground. So how can we address this and change the way we think and dispose of ciga-rette butts in a responsible way? If you are a smoker and you are not ready to quit then the next best thing you can do is be responsible with your butts. There are safer ways to dispose of cigarette butts. You

Bear-proof bins sought in Old Town By Lachlan Labere

MARKET NEWS STAFF

The District of Sicamous may soon be putting a lid on bear attractants in Old Town. Council has directed staff to look into the cost of replacing two existing waste containers in the Old Town development site with bear-proof bins. As Coun. Gord Bushell explained, the current bins are doing

a good job of attracting bears but not keeping them out. “I spend a lot of time walking out in Old Town Bay and the odd time I see a bear running across the road. There’s two garbage containers out in Old Town Bay and they’re always either broken or the tops ripped off of them and there’s garbage all around them from bears or

dogs,” said Bushell. Council noted Old Town Bay is currently being used by campers, houseboaters and others, and the garbage cans are being well used. “I think, because of the excess traffic out there, we have to put forth a resolution to direct staff to look into the cost,” said Coun. Jeff Mallmes. “Not the cheapest bear-proof

bins, the ones that actually work…” Recently, a Saskatchewan woman camping in Old Town ran into one of the bears. Sicamous resident Kelly Dick was flagged down by the terrified woman, and drove her back to her campsite. While on route, they spotted the bear loitering around a litter barrel.

“We didn’t get far into the Old Town gates there, when we spotted the little bugger with his head stuck in the garbage can, scrounging around for something to eat,” Dick told the Market News. “Not sure why there aren’t any bear-safe refuse containers out there instead of these ones that the bears are able to access.”

Furniture back at home

History: Family donates original items to new owner. By Lachlan Labere

MARKET NEWS STAFF

For the 38 years Shaffer has owned her Salmon Arm residence, she’s always thought of it as the Ball family home. Nestled in the remnants of an orchard in the 1600 block of Second Avenue NE, on what’s historically known as Merton Hill, the Ball home has obviously undergone some changes and updating over the past century. But much of it remains as Darcy Ball remembers it, when the home belonged to his grandparents Maud and William Ball. This includes some of the furniture within, which he and wife Mona recently returned to the old home – to Shaffer’s surprise and delight. “I’ve loved this house since I first laid eyes on it…,” said Shaffer. “I filled the house with antiques because that’s what I love, but to have the original pieces back is just the most incredible thing I can imagine.” Among the pieces returned are a sewing machine, two chairs, a rocker and a china cabinet, which once again sits in the dining room, exactly where it did when Darcy came to visit his grandma. “You know, when I look at it where it is, like the china cabinet in the dining room, it just belongs there,” said Shaffer. “And when I look at the two chairs in the parlour, it’s like the men have come home because they’re very masculine chairs and they’re just right there.” Darcy says as far as he knows, the heavy wood furniture is all locally made. “It’s not really exotic sort of stuff – It’s just something that came from the family, from the house, and I wanted to get it back there because I don’t need it and I can’t think of a better place for it.” William and Maud Ball bought the Merton

n Maureen Shaffer enjoys an afternoon of reminiscing and stories with Darcy and his wife Mona Ball, who recently gave Shaffer several pieces of furniture, including the chairs they’re seated in. They belonged to Darcy’s grandparents William and Maude Ball when they owned Shaffer’s home in the 1600 block of Second Avenue NE. Hill property in 1910 (it had been homesteaded by someone else). The couple had been living in Brooks, Alta. but, on William’s doctor’s advice, had chosen to move to Salmon Arm for a climate that was less severe. The two immediately bought materials to renovate the bungalow-style home, though William is said to have regretted this decision, believing the home should have been torn down and a new one built. Included in those renovations were the addition of a bathroom and a kitchen, which currently serves

as Shaffer’s kitchen. Seated in that kitchen, on one of the returned chairs, Darcy, with Mona on an adjacent antique bench, shares tea with Shaffer and stories about the house as he knew it. “It’s just a place of fond memories,” said Darcy, explaining how he was surprised, when he first started visiting Shaffer about a year ago, to find the old sidewalk running around the side of the house. “I thought, ’It’s still there! Why in the world would they ever keep an old sidewalk like that? But I’m glad they did because I learned

to ride my tricycle on it. I was maybe three or four at the time. I said, ‘Why didn’t you have that torn up and rebuilt?’ I was told (by Shaffer) whoever touches that is going to get shot.” Through her relationship with Darcy and Mona, Shaffer has been able glean much of the colourful history behind her home – and the new/old furniture it once again contains. “’I’ve always thought of it as your home, it’s the Ball House, you know,” Shaffer tells Darcy, “And we’ve had the honour of living in it and taking care of it.”

This year, participants in more than 30 communities throughout the province will walk to raise funds to help animals in need across British Columbia. The Scotiabank & BC SPCA Paws for a Cause walk to fight animal cruelty and benefitting the Shuswap SPCA Branch will begin at Blackburn Park in Salmon Arm on Saturday, Sept. 12, from 9:30 a.m. The participants will walk in the Salmon Arm Fall Fair Parade starting at 10:45 a.m. Come out to see friendly faces and wagging tails! “This is the largest single event to help fight animal cruelty in British Columbia,” says Krista Constantineau, BC SPCA manager of fundraising events. “We are overwhelmed by the participation each year – it’s so great to see thousands of people come together across the province to help B.C.’s most vulnerable animals – and the great news is, this year, registration numbers are up! Our amazing supporters not only raise essential funds, the events are so much fun for two-legged and fourlegged participants.”

Fair entry deadline set for Saturday Get your entries together for the Salmon Arm Fair, and be sure to get registered before the deadline. Registration blitz days are on now at the Fair office, in the SASCU Memorial Indoor Arena on the fairgrounds, Aug. 20 and 21 from 1 p.m. to 7 p.m., and Saturday, Aug. 22 from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. Call 250-832-0442, or drop in at the fair office, at the front of the arena.

Photography entries

There are some major changes to the entry procedures for the A5 Photography Division at the Salmon Arm Fair, running September 11 to 13. Although most classes remain the same, (with the addition of new Selfie and Birds of Flight classes), the entry procedure will be quite different this year, more compatible with the majority of other indoor divisions at the Fair. To register in the Photography Division, return a completed entry form only (no photos yet) and payment to the Fair Office at the Memorial Arena August 20 and 21, 1 to 7 p.m., or Saturday, Aug. 22, 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. A Shuswap Photo Arts Club representative will be available for questions Aug. 20 to 22 to help with classes and other explanations, but not to receive entries. Your actual mounted photographs will be dropped off on Wednesday, Sept. 9, between the hours of noon and 7 p.m. The one-time exhibitor fee for adults is $15, with youth to age 17 at $10. This allows you entry for all three days of the fair. Each photo entered still is only 50 cents an entry. It is very important that photographs be

mounted securely on a stiff backing or with a mat and a stiff backing. More details on this, the sizes allowed and other rules are in the fair prize book, or go online at www.salmonarmfair.com. On the home page, click on Classes, and then scroll down to A5 Photography, where you can choose Classes, Entry Form and Judging Standards. For more information on the photography division at the fair, contact convener Henry Schnell at hatschnell@xplornet. com, or 250-675-3136. Two new Selfie categories have been added to the A5 Photography Division at the Salmon Arm Fair. Open to all level of competitors, photos will be judged by the public during the run of the Fair. Winners of each class receive $25. The two classes are: a photo of an individual person, yourself, in an identifiable North Okanagan/ Shuswap setting; and a photo of you and a group of your friends, in an identifiable North Okanagan/Shuswap setting. To enter the Selfie competition only, email, by Aug. 31, your photo (one megabyte or less) in jpg format to myselie@ shuswapphotoarts.com including your name and age. All qualified photos will be digitally displayed during the Fair. No professionally shot photos. For further rules and details, please see the Fair Book or go to the Fair website www. salmonarmfair.com, and follow the Classes link to the A5 Photography Division.

Celista cultural centre of North Shuswap

Jim Cooperman Since Scotch Creek is deemed the commercial centre of the North Shuswap, then it would be best to describe Celista as the cultural centre. Home to the North Shuswap Elementary School, the North Shuswap Community Hall and St. David’s Church, Celista is where local residents often come for educational and cultural activities. It was once called Fowler’s Landing, as North Shuswap’s first settler, Harry Fowler, had a floating workshop and home there. Fowler first arrived in Scotch Creek where he cut ties for the CPR and firewood for the sternwheelers. In 1891, he began homesteading up in the Meadow Creek valley where there were natural meadows. A skilled carpenter, Fowler began a boat building business along the lakeshore, while also helping new settlers find land and build homesteads. He organized the building of the first school in 1910 with the help of volunteers from the community and he supervised the construction of the road to Scotch Creek when the ferry service began there in 1914. In the early days, Celista was a farming community, with most of the residents living on homesteads on the hillsides above the lake. Created in the early 1900s, the Celista townsite was an early attempt to create a denser community that included the foresight to set land aside for a park and a hall. More research is needed to adequately describe the

n The North Shore Community Hall has been a community focal point since its construction in the 1930s. fall fairs. Once again, it was Harry Fowler leading the effort and supervising the construction by volunteers. The steep roof of the large building is itself an architectural marvel, as it was built using small diameter, lightweight cedar pole rafters, braced together to form trusses. Today, after many additions and renova-

tions, the well-loved pioneer hall and the surrounding parkland serves as the focal point for the entire community. In addition to concerts, dances, meetings and special events, there are zumba and nia dance classes held during the week and a popular monthly coffee house that attracts musicians and audience members

from far and wide. Perhaps one of the best times to visit the scenic lakeside hamlet of Celista is on Wednesday morning in the summer, when the well-attended farmer’s market is held next to

the hall. In just four years, this event has grown from 10 vendors to more than 40 who sell, in addition to delectable vegetables and fruits, a wide variety of crafts, eggs, preserves, free-range chickens, honey and baked goods. There is also live music, face painting and art activities for the kids. The market organizers donate a portion of the proceeds to the Stephen Lewis Foundation to help support African children. Another attraction for visitors is the new Celista Estate Winery, now North America’s most northern grape winery. Although it just opened in 2009, Celista wines, made with their own winter hardy grapes that began to be planted in 2002, have

already garnered numerous awards. They have a wine tasting patio complete with gourmet cheeses, breads, crackers and chocolate that is open daily and they offer public tours on Wednesdays and Saturdays. Over the years, the economic driver of the North Shuswap, as throughout much of the Shuswap, has transitioned from farming to forestry to tourism and retirement income. In Celista, vacation homeowners likely outnumber the yearround residents and when summer ends so does the traffic. As climate change is negatively impacting food production elsewhere, the potential exists for Celista to once again become a farming community.

history of the townsite. When the post office was set to open in 1908, which was the first on the North Shuswap, a new name was needed. While viewing a map, the Postal authorities found the name, Celesta, of a creek they mistakenly thought was close to Fowler’s Landing. Celesta was chosen, but due to an error in reading the handwritten name it became Celista. This creek, which flows from Humamilt Lake to Albas, was either named after a well-known Shuswap ancestral name, Selestra, or after Okanagan Chief TxElaxi’tsa’s son John Celestin (Salista’). In the early days, schoolhouses also served as community halls, but by the early 1930s, it became apparent that a larger facility was needed to provide space for dances, weddings, meetings and the popular

Asian demand for LNG expected to double

MLA report Greg Kyllo MLAs returned to Victoria last month for a rare summer sitting of the Legislature. The reason was the introduction of Bill 30, the Liquefied Natural Gas Project Agreements Act, which gives the B.C. government the authority to enter into LNG project development agreements. On July 13, the first day of the session, I was proud to speak to this bill that will set the stage for what I believe is a game-changer for the economic future of our province. Bill 30 is a vital element in creating the LNG industry in B.C. It

enables Pacific NorthWest LNG to move ahead with its plans to invest $36 billion US in our province – the largest private-sector investment in B.C. and Canadian history. The Pacific NorthWest LNG project at Port Edward on the north coast will create 4,500 construction jobs, 330 direct long-term jobs and 300 local spinoff jobs. Total new tax and royalty revenues for the province are projected to be about $8.6 billion in the next 15 years alone. Over the next five years, Asian economic growth, combined with the switch to a cleaner-burning fuel, will almost double Asia’s demand for liquefied natural gas. Fortunately, our province has a natural gas supply that is estimated at 2,933 trillion cubic feet – which could support domestic and

export markets for the next 150 years. That is why I am so excited about the possibilities for LNG development in B.C. LNG will be a pillar upon which the northwest and northeast regions of the province can build their future – but the same can be said for every region in B.C. – from Atlin to Enderby, from Armstrong to Zeballos. As Parliamentary Secretary for the B.C. Jobs Plan, I have travelled to these regions, and people are filled with genuine optimism about a flourishing LNG industry and what it will mean to their families and their communities. Developing the LNG sector in a responsible and prudent manner means thousands of jobs will be created in every region of our province, particularly in the trades and skilled labour. From construc-

tion trades labourers, steamfitters and pipefitters, welders, concrete finishers, heavy-equipment operators, gas fitters and a host of others, we need the people and their skills to get the job done. This is an exciting time for British Columbians who will soon be entering the workforce. It is a tremendous opportunity for all of them, and we are committed to maximizing the potential that this sector will bring to B.C. so they stand to benefit and have an even better quality of life than we enjoy today. The added pressure of the demand for skilled labour will be heightened as investments by LNG proponents continue in B.C. Without a plan such as the Skills for Jobs Blueprint, there would

be a significant shortage of skilled labour, especially in the northern regions of our province. This is why our government created the blueprint, to ensure that all of these jobs in all regions of B.C. are filled, so we can keep our economy moving forward. The potential of LNG in British Columbia is staggering. The prospect of just five of 14 LNG operations that are looking to be constructed in B.C. would result in upwards of $100 billion in industry investment over the next decade alone. For thousands of British Columbians, including many in the Shuswap, an LNG industry will be more than a game-changer. It will be a life-changer – and I’m looking forward to the journey.

Providing help with invasive plants The Thompson-Nicola Regional District’s Invasive Plant brochure explains assistance program offerings for rural landowners. The brochure is available online at tnrd.ca, at all TNRD refuse sites and offices, as well as at the Southern Interior Weed Management Committee offices in Kamloops. “Working together is critical to stop the spread of invasive plants,” said Ken Gillis, Electoral Area “L” (Grasslands)

Director and Chair of the Invasive Plant Committee. “These non-native and aggressive plants cause serious damage to our natural ecosystems and cost thousands of dollars in treatment.” One way to report invasive plants is through the Report-AWeed website (reportaweed.bc), which allows residents to report weeds either directly to the website or through a free downloadable app. The Invasive Plant brochure includes information about bio-

control agents, which are now available for select weeds free of charge by calling the Southern Interior Weed Management Committee at 250-819-1699. Biocontrol insects are available on a first-come, first-served basis. Landowners are also reminded that disposal of invasive plants is free when using specially marked disposal bags. These bags are now available at all operating TNRD refuse sites with supplies limited to five bags per request.

Dilma Rousseff and the Peter Principle GLOBAL VIEWS Gwynne Dyer Protesters thronged Brazil’s cities on Sunday demanding the impeachment of Brazil’s President Dilma Rousseff, narrowly elected to a second term just last October, but not one of them made any reference to the Peter Principle. But if Rousseff were a senior manager in any bureaucracy, public or private, it would surely have been noticed by now that she has been promoted to her “level of incompetence.” We owe the insight that “managers rise to the level of their incompetence” to Dr. Laurence J. Peter, who pointed out half a century ago that people are promoted on the basis of their success in their last job, not their aptitude for the next one. Eventually, inevitably, they are promoted into a job they are not equipped to do well. Even if they are not your conventional kind of manager. Dilma Rousseff was a success as a leftwing guerilla fighting Brazil’s military

regime in the 1980s. Captured and tortured for three days, she never said a word. She was a success as the chief-of-staff to Brazil’s first working-class president, Luis Inacio “Lula” da Silva, in 2003-2010. She was a political success in getting elected as Lulu’s successor in 2010, and was re-elected in a tight race last year. But being a president herself is not part of her skills set. Two years ago, Rousseff had an approval rating of 66 per cent. According to the most recent Datafolha poll, only eight per cent of the population now gives her a positive assessment, while 71 per cent disapprove of her performance. Indeed, two-thirds of those polled believe that Congress should impeach her and remove her from power. Part of the problem is the economy. Since it peaked in 2010 at seven per cent, Brazil’s economic growth rate has plunged. This year the economy is predicted to shrink by two per cent. It’s not all Rousseff’s fault: the worldwide collapse in commodity prices has hit Brazil particularly hard. But in practice, the government in power at the time gets the blame. Moreover, the austerity measures that she has imposed to deal

with the fall in government revenue have hurt her own electoral base among poor Brazilians. So far she has not touched the groundbreaking “Bolsa Familia,” a modest cash handout that has lifted 36 million people out of extreme poverty, and she promises to go on raising the minimum wage, but pensions and unemployment benefits

“But if Rousseff were a senior manager… it would surely have been noticed by now that she has been promoted to her level of incompetence.”

have already been cut. An even bigger problem for Rousseff is the legal investigation code named Lava Jato (Car Wash). The biggest corruption scandal in Brazil’s rather impressive history of such things, it involves an estimated $22 billion in ‘suspicious contracts’ going back for almost two decades involving Petrobras, Latin America’s largest oil company. Some of it involved graft for personal enrichment, but most of it appears to be money skimmed off government contracts to pay for election campaigns

and other party political activities. Since the governing parties for most of this period have been Rousseff’s Workers’ Party and its parliamentary coalition partner, the Brazilian Democratic Movement, several dozen senior politicians from both parties have been arrested. Worst of all, Dilma Rousseff was the chairwoman of Petrobras from 2003 to 2010. It was not her primary job, and she denies knowledge of any of the corrupt transactions. The investigating officers also say there is no evidence linking her to corruption. But people are looking for somebody to blame, and support for her impeachment is strongest in the poorest areas of the country. On the other hand, there is no charge against Rousseff that could justify an impeachment. Even in the absence of such a charge, a two-thirds majority in Congress could theoretically impeach her, but no such majority can be achieved in the current Congress. So Rousseff can just tough it out, and so far she has done just that. Sunday’s big demos were mostly attended by white, middle-class people who probably never voted for her anyway. Her own constituency of poorer

Brazilians, although angry about her austerity measures and rising inflation, have not yet come out in the streets against her. That could change if the economic situation gets even worse. A major slowdown in China, Brazil’s biggest export market, could spell big trouble for Rousseff. So long as no evidence emerges that clearly links her to the corruption at Petrobras,

support victims affected by catastrophic wildfires raging that summer in the province. “Families have been separated and many people are seeing their hardearned homes and businesses destroyed,” said Coralee Oakes, minister responsible for liquor. “I applaud the Red Cross, BC Liquor Stores and our fellow British Columbians for coming together to make sure the people impacted by these fires have the support they need…” Since a fire ignited in

Rock Creek on Aug. 14, hundreds of people in the Rock Creek and Oliver communities have been evacuated, and more than 30 homes destroyed. An unusually warm summer has left B.C. forests extremely dry, and officials are concerned there is potential for more aggressive wildfire activity in these communities and others throughout the province. Since Aug. 16, the province has battled more than 1,600 wildfires this year.

Starting this week, customers can make donations of $2 or $5 – or multiples thereof – at checkouts in 196 BC Liquor Stores provincewide. BC Liquor Stores customers and employees have supported Red Cross disaster relief for humanitarian crises at home and abroad since 2003, when stores first collected donations to

eyes of poor Brazilians, would have coped any better with the economic headwinds that Rousseff has been struggling with. But he would still be popular, and she is definitely not. She tries hard, but it just doesn’t work. She has been promoted to her level of (political) incompetence, and it is going to be a long three years for her and for Brazil.

Liquor stores step up for fire victims As wildfires continue to destroy property and force residents from their homes in Rock Creek and Oliver, B.C. Liquor Store customers can now support Red Cross relief efforts for fire victims by donating in stores throughout the province. To help those impacted by wildfires, the Red Cross asked BC Liquor Stores to join their relief efforts. This includes providing evacuees with immediate needs such as blankets, food and water, reuniting residents with family members, and as-

however, she can probably stay in office until her term ends in 2018. What she cannot do is restore popular confidence in her leadership. She doesn’t lack the intelligence or the experience to be an effective president, and most of the time she gets her economic and social priorities right.

NANCY KATHLEEN McADAM Nancy Kathleen McAdam, 70, passed away peacefully August 10th, 2015 at her home in Salmon Arm, British Columbia. A memorial service was held for family and friends on Saturday August 15th at Bowers Funeral Home. Born July 23, 1945 in Victoria, Nan was the daughter of the late Allan and Kathleen McAdams. She will be remembered by her beloved children and their families: son Jonathan Witt and wife Anu of Saskatoon, their children Mira, Sona and Ashwin; daughter Heidi Grogan and husband Mike of Calgary and their children Aidan and Abby. She is survived by her sister Sue Reddick, brothers Gordon and Ian McAdam and their families. Nan will be deeply missed by the countless friends with whom she shared life. Nan grew up in Nelson and loved life at the lake in the summers and skiing in the mountains in the winters. After leaving Nelson, she moved to Vancouver and graduated from UBC with a nursing degree. In her career as a nurse, Nan served the community in Salmon Arm with dedication and care. In her retirement, Nan cherished all her times spent with her children and grandchildren. Much of her life in Salmon Arm was reflected in her large garden, rows of canned peaches, stunning and intricate quilts, her cook-stove and farming. In recent years, she loved nothing more than being on the Shuswap Lake with her beloved dog Danny. Nan leaves her friends and family a testament of courage and determination to live fully -- whatever your age. Our lasting memory will be of her as mother, grandma, sister, friend taking to the road in her RV to enjoy what life had to offer her in the present moment. Online condolences may be sent through Nan’s obituary at www.bowersfuneralservice.com

Shuswap air cadet earns pilot wings Flight Sgt. Deverick Clingwall from 222 Shuswap Royal Canadian Air Cadet Squadron (RCACS) in Salmon Arm, studied, practised, and achieved his Transport Canada Private Pilot Licence and received his Cadet Pilot Wings in a ceremony in Comox on Aug. 14. “Thirty five cadets, ages 17 and 18, were

enrolled in the seven week Power Pilot Scholarship Program, which started June 29. Cadets were trained on either the Cessna 152, or the Cessna 172 single-engine aircraft,” said Major Wayne Heal, Power Pilot Scholarship supervisor. Clingwall, 17, was applauded for his dedication in successfully

completing the course. “This is a course I have dreamt about for a long time and fulfilling it is one more step towards a career in aviation,” said Clingwall, At his squadron, Clingwall takes part in many activities such as drill team, rifle team, ground school and spends many weekends at his local gliding site.

Patients could join trials for new Alzheimer drug Medical Arts Health Research Group CEO, Donna Benson is announced their Kamloops Research Team, along with the UBC Brain Institute, has been selected as the only two sites in B.C. which have been awarded a study for a new drug treatment for Alzheimer’s. To better understand why Alzheimer’s occurs and develop potential treatments, scientists and researchers found that brain tissue for someone with Alzheimer’s has far fewer nerve cells and synapses (junction between two nerve cells) than a healthy brain and plaques appear to build up between nerve cells. Plaques are formed when protein pieces called beta-amyloids get sticky and clump together. “We are thrilled to be selected to be a clinical site for this important trial and to be able to bring this opportunity to Kamloops,” said Benson. “Dr. Miranda Du Preez will be working with us on this study along with a strong team of nurses, doctors and co-ordinators. Since travel and accommodation costs will be reimbursed, we expect to be able to enroll patients from all over the Interior, from Logan’s Lake, Merritt and Salmon Arm.” If you or a loved one have concerns with

memory, or have already been diagnosed with memory loss, there are still spaces available for volunteers to participate in this new study. Participants will have access to the support of a specialized

team of health-care providers, who will closely monitor health and may give patients access to new treatments before they’re widely available. Participants do not have to leave their current doctor.

“As in all medical trials, eligible participants will receive comprehensive studyrelated medical care, monitoring and study medication at no cost while participating.” said Benson. To find out if you or a

loved one is eligible to participate in the study or for further information, call 1-888-4904320 or visit the web at HealthResearch.ca.
