Literacy group earns accoladeThe Shuswap gets an ‘A’

in literacy.The Literacy Alliance of

the Shuswap Society (LASS) was announced by Premier Christy Clark as the recipient of the 2012

Council of Federation Lit-eracy Award earlier this week. One award is issued in each province. Dave Witt, Superintendent of Schools, nominated the alliance for the B.C. recipient earlier this year.

The award was given to LASS for the immense

amount of work the organi-zation does in the commu-nity.

“Virtually every citizen in the North Okanagan-Shus-wap has benefited from the variety and quality of the programs that LASS has developed and nurtured,” said Clark during her an-

nouncement of the award. “An enhanced regard and enthusiasm for literacy has been woven into the fabric of these communities under their guidance.”

The Council of the Fed-eration Literacy Award cov-ers the entire spectrum of the field, including family,

aboriginal, health, work-place and community liter-acy, and is given to recog-nize the excellence of edu-cators, volunteers, learners,and community organiza-tions (including non-gov-

ernmental organiza-tions) and businesses in each province and terri-tory.

LASS has brought many programs to the Shuswap community that have benefits in most of these areas.

Some of their accom-plishments include the Coyote Cafe, where young aboriginal stu-dents can strengthen their reading abilities through play, puppet shows, group and one-on-one reading, among other methods. Coyote Cafe has just ended their pilot year and work is already under-way towards expanding the program for next year.

Other programs run by LASS are Unplug and Play Family Litera-cy Week, which has close to 1,300 partici-pants take part each year, Save/Spend/Share Financial Literacy Pro-gram, a program which provides students with the chance to learn about the importance of setting financial goals and One-to-One Children’s Literacy Program, which in-volves 200 community volunteers in 13 differ-ent schools.

“Literacy is a gate-way every individual must pass through if they are to become ful-ly engaged citizens,” said Minister of Educa-tion George Abbott in a press release.

“Groups like LASS

help create the opportu-nity for everyone, no matter what their back-ground, to achieve that goal,” says Abbott.

Witt is delighted the value of his nomination was recognized by the panel.

“I am thrilled for the recognition this award brings to the outstand-ing work being done by the Literacy Alliance of the Shuswap Society,” says Witt. “LASS is an amazing volunteer group, which, in two short years, has proven to be a force in provid-ing literacy opportuni-ties for those in need – from babies to seniors – in the large geograph-ical region (8,500 square kilometres), which is the North Okanagan-Shuswap.”

LASS praised for effective efforts in a short time frame

(Above) The crowd watches as Frankie Lyons pushes a beer keg with her bike. The event returned to a new Silver Creek property after being cancelled last year, and drew about 1,500 people on the Saturday night. While organizers dubbed the event “complaint-free,” CSRD officials were upset the group did not abide by the pre-set midnight curfew on music.

Final Week

for ourSale Ends

Aug. 6

Like a patchwork quilt, Roots and Blues Festi-val artistic director Hugo Rampen pieces together workshops – often with magical results.

“When I start to create the workshops, I look for similarities or complimentary styles, or the poten-tial of creating new styles,” he says, noting that Ur-ban Trad, which runs at 12:05 p.m. Sunday, Aug. 19 combines Cape Breton’s the Beatons, Ethiopia’s the Krar Collective and Canada’s “grandaddy of ur-ban fusion,” Adham Shaik.

“Traditional music, like the Celtic of Cape Breton is highly guarded and Indian ragas have strict struc-tures,” says Rampen. “Let’s throw that all out the window and let them create music that has tradi-tional roots but is allowed to fuse and mix into a multi-cultural cocktail with an urban feel.”

On the Barn StageSaturday

Watch Us Watch You runs 10:30 a.m. Long before social media, songwriters have provided the medi-um to inform the global community about issues of importance. This is a workshop about writing music that makes a difference and includes Taj Weekes, Alex Cuba, The Boom Booms and Shred Kelly.

Scratch This at12:55 p.m. looks at the world of the scratch DJ, who can infi ltrate musical genres like no other contemporary musician. Whether it’s a playful sonic embellishment, or a driving bass line, DJ’s like Kid Koala handle vinyl with amazing virtuosity. Add renowned banjo artist Jayme Stone and Ethiopia’s Krar Collective to the mix, and you get a multi-cultural mashup that will take audiences on an incredible trek from Appalachia to the deserts of Eretria to downtown Montreal.Sunday

Summer Harvest Jams and Preserves runs at 10:30 a.m. and is a workshop with a full-bodied fl avour of powerful horns and urban pop, with a hint of world fusions. Spice it up with DJ zest and have an incred-ible summer jam with Adham Shaikh (didgeridoo, and percussion), Hollerado (rhythm section) and the amazing horns of Five Alarm Funk.

Songwriters Workshop at 12:55 p.m. will exam-ine the different approaches to songwriting. The process is unique to the person as will be high-lighted by four incredible and unique songwriters – Buckman Coe, Taj Weekes, Cuff The Duke and Demetra.

On the Shade StageSaturday

Johnny Cash may be the granddaddy of songs of Hurt & Sorrow, which runs at 12:05 p.m., but Cold Specks travels a similar road with her ‘doom soul.’

Fellow performer Raleigh explores the darker side with cello and harmonies, and Declan O’Donovan can serve a strong drink of reality with his whisky voice and smoky bar piano.

Musical Environmental, which rolls out at 4:05 p.m. examines how musicians are inspired by their environment. Hilary Grist’s Tall Buildings brilliant-ly conveys her urban experience while Cold Specks explores the connection between foreign environ-ments and spirituality. Raleigh’s songs express deep emotional landscapes while Buckman Coe’s music speaks of his experiences studying the eco-psycho-logical effects of globalization. Sunday

Live life large with incredible Latin grooves and sax-driven jazz in the Latin Jazz workshop that plays out at 4:05 p.m. Turn your brain off and let your body ‘do its thang,’ to the music of Alex Cuba, Septeto Santiaguero and the Shuffl e Demons.

On the Blues StageSaturday

Playing out at 11:50 a.m. Take Me Home to the Place I no Longer Know looks at how the blues are about sadness, storytelling and catharsis. This workshop is inspired by the story of blues maestro Floyd Lee and his journey back to his long lost boy-hood home. Sit a while and rediscover what ‘home’ means with Lee, Blackie & the Rodeo Kings, Super Chikan and Kelly Joe Phelps.

The Blues Family Tree at 2:30 p.m. explores the origin of the blues in Africa, its evolution via slave culture, and the infl uence of jazz and big band. This is a no-holds-barred blues journey with three of the most interesting contemporary world/blues fu-sion artists – Hazmat Modine, Markus James & the Wassonrai and Bombino.Sunday

I Did It My Way at 11:50 a.m. combines the unique, different, unconventional, the extraordinary talents of the Floyd Lee Band, Super Chikan and Hazmat Modine.

Continuing with the third edition of this work-shop, which brings Canadian musicians together for a Blues session extraordinaire, 12 Bars North of the 49th - Part 3 plays at 2:30 p.m. Hear the incom-parable Serena Ryder alongside two fabulous new bands from the West. No Sinner is mindblowing with their saucy, slide-driven delivery and Boogie Patrol is a fun lovin’ funk/soul outfi t that will have everybody up on the dance fl oor.

There is no extra charge for the workshops. Get your tickets for the 20th annual Roots and Blues Festival online at www.rootsandblues.ca, or call 250-833-4096.

Workshops yield magic


Have you ever felt like just getting in your vehicle, filling up the gas tank and heading out on the open road?

That’s how I feel some-times. Especially if I’m driv-ing around and they hap-pen to play a song like John Denver’s Take Me Home, Country Roads on the radio. That was also the way I felt after reading author and pho-tographer Liz Bryan’s book, Country Roads of British Columbia.

“The country roads in Country Roads of British Columbia traverse the prov-ince’s heartland, where the landscapes are always lovely and sometimes breathtaking. Interwoven with strands of yesterday that lie along the highways and byways, the B.C. tapestry has become a lyrical fusion of landscape and history.”

This is a quote from the introduction of Bryan’s book in which she invites read-ers to come along and ex-perience British Columbia’s scenic heartland by explore the amazing landscapes that make up the province of British Columbia. Through

18 picturesque rural and backcountry journeys, most-ly in the Interior between the Rockies and the Coast-al Mountains, Bryan takes readers through some of the most diverse and beautiful scenery on the planet.

Winding through sage-brush and forest, grassland plateaus and mountain val-leys, beside river canyons, lakes and multi-coloured volcanic rocks, the 18 dif-ferent road trips outlined in Bryan’s book reveal the rich variety of both the prov-ince’s geology and natural history. She also shows how the strands of human history are closely interwoven with the land – how First Nations people, fur traders, explorers, gold miners, ranchers and homesteaders have all left

their mark on the land.The many highways,

country roads and back-country roads that criss-cross this geography have provid-ed Bryan with ample mate-rial for this interesting and visually stimulating book.

As you turn the pages, you learn about the history of the First Nations people that is carved into the totems of the Gitxsan people. Jour-ney to their villages under the great ridge of the Rocher Deboule range into a magi-cal landscape of mist and memories, deep forests and high, snow-covered moun-tains. Stand with Bryan at Mile 0 of the Goldrush Trail that begins at the top end of Lilllooet’s Main Street, cross the Bridge of the 23 Camels, and head north with her on the back roads to Barkerville.

Read where and how First Nation people and home-steaders alike lived and died. See what they built and the remains of what they left behind – see the landscape through their eyes.

The 18 chapters in Coun-try Roads of British Colum-bia provide excellent back-

ground information, descrip-tive details and guidelines for many a trip.

Along ghost trails to ghost towns, across desert badlands and beside raging rivers on up into the high country, this book is more than a beautifully-illustrated history book, it is an invalu-able travel guide that any smart traveller should have beside them on the front seat when they head out to ex-plore the amazing landscapes and breathtaking beauty that make up the province.

As a photographer, I can-not help but admire the pho-tographs in Country Roads of British Columbia. As an itinerant soul, however, I cannot help read Liz Bry-an’s words and understand even more what John Den-ver meant when he wrote the lines, “The radio reminds me of my home far away. And drivin’ down the road I get a feelin’ that I should have been home yesterday.”

I find myself going back to this book, time and again, to read and enjoy it, and to ponder what it might be like just to head out on the open road.

It’s natural for a political party to see several of its sitting members retire shortly before an elec-tion.

Most recently Dave Hayer announced he will not be seeking re-election in May. He joins Kash Heed, Kevin Krueger and Harry Bloy on the list of MLAs not returning, and Barry Penner and Iain Black who have also resigned from office. Plus, there’s rumblings from pundits that Kevin Falcon, George Abbott and Rich Coleman may join that list.

Depending on which side of the political fence you’re on, you either view the departing MLAs as having the foresight to get out while the getting’s good or, in the case of some, deciding after a long political life to let someone else in. If the latter is the case, it makes sense to announce now so there is time to get a good candidate in place prior to next May’s election.

Hayer’s announcement, however, came one day before a new poll suggested MLAs’ motivation might be the former.

An Angus Reid online poll of 801 British Columbians suggested that 45 per cent of decided voters and leaners (-5 since May) would support the NDP candidate in their constituency in the next provincial election. The BC Liberals are still at 23 per cent, while the BC Conservatives have gained three points (22 per cent). The BC Greens are fourth with eight per cent (+2).

That kind of support would put the NDP in power with a healthy majority. Even though the BC Conservatives are gaining ground, realisti-cally, holding the balance of power in a minority government would be a crowning achievement. However, even that may be out of reach.

The election is nine months away, however, and in politics, that’s a lifetime.

Stay tuned; it’s going to be an interesting year in British Columbia politics.

Will MLA retirements help the Liberals?

Maureen Brass nev-er had an opportunity to see her efforts come to fruition as a leader organizing the centen-nial celebrations for the Sorrento community.

Her spirit remains strong though, as her work is evident in the planning and entertain-ers for a family celebra-tion planned for Sep-tember, which will in-clude her son Cameron, a member of Lillix.

Brass’ life began on a farm in the Orkney Islands in Scotland. She moved to the mainland when she was three, then to Aberdeen where, at 16, she trained as a nurse.

Brass continued her education in Glasgow, becoming a midwife/ nurse practitioner, but never forgot her roots as an Orcadian.

The adventurous sort, she moved to Can-ada and spent a year in Toronto. After moving to Calgary, Brass no-ticed a nurse posting in the North West Ter-ritories.

Thinking she was heading for northern Alberta, Brass spent 18 months in Cape Dorset on Baffin Island serv-ing the Inuit.

She returned to Al-berta, eventually find-ing work at Foothills Hospital before tak-ing a position with the Stoney Nakoda First Nation at the Morley Health Clinic.

Brass was given the Indian name “Lucy

Left Hand” as she was affectionately known as in the community.

In 1973, Brass found her way to Canmore where, for 35 years, she stayed put. She was known for helping many a new mom, teaching prenatal classes, and calming little ones with her toy stuffed seal as she administered inocu-lations.

“The mountains were not the reason she spent so much time in Canmore,” son El-liot said in his eulogy, which was read by longtime friend Glad-stone Friesen. Elliot explains guests would come to visit and com-ment on the natural beauty of the Bow Valley, to which Brass would respond, “I don’t like the mountains. They almost make me claustrophobic.”

“What my mom loved about Canmore was the people,” read Friesen.

Margo Friesen and Brass had been best friends for 35 years.

A Memorial Tea organized in Sorrento by the Friesens was standing room only; the

same was reported at the service held earlier in Canmore to honour their friend.

Throughout her time in Canmore, Brass was also a tireless volunteer, which in part helped her to be recognized in 1995 with the Gover-nor General’s Award for being an outstand-ing Canadian.

Brass was known for her sense of hu-mour and her Scottish brogue, which became more prominent the more excited she be-came.

With a zest for life, and a hard-working at-titude, Brass moved to Sorrento to be closer to her twin sons living on the Coast. Retired from nursing, she immedi-ately got involved with the Beautify Sorrento Community project, but Shuswap Hospital Foundation Director Jackie Morrison said Brass continued her caring for people, orga-nizing a health fair and blood pressure clinic.

Leader of the Scot-tish Country Dancers, Wendy Dean talked about how much fun it was to have Brass around. She was known for her G-force arm in the dance swings, a strength attributed to her true Orcadian back-ground.

Brass lived her life as if each day was her last. Her philosophy. ‘You are judged by the difference you make in the life of a child,’ car-

ried through the caring of all she met in the community. Gladstone Friesen ended his me-morial with inspiration from this special wom-an, “Don’t do anything half brassed.”

Charity fundThe Shuswap Com-

munity Foundation is accepting donations in memory of Maureen Brass.

Brass’ family will be establishing a fund with the SCF to honour her memory.

Details of the fund are still being discussed. Those who wish to honour Maureen can do so by sending their donation to the Founda-tion and, on the memo line, put ‘In memory of Maureen Brass.’ This money will be put into a fund and the princi-pal generated will be used to give out a grant in honour of Maureen. This is a wonderful way to ensure the spirit of Maureen lives on in our community now and forever.

More information about the Founda-tion and how to make a donation online can be found at www.shuswapfoundation.ca. Cheques can be mailed to PO Box 624, 450 Lakeshore Dr. NE, Salmon Arm BC V1E 4N7. Cash donations can be dropped of at the office on Lakeshore Drive. Official receipts for Income Tax purpos-es, will be issued.

Brass an inspiration to many

George Abbott is casting his eye on fi sh-ing and family fun this summer.

And, despite the ru-mours, the minister of education and Shuswap MLA says he has not made up his mind about his future in politics.

“I have never spoken to him, nor do I intend to do that,” Abbott de-clared last week. “I am hoping to get vaca-tion time to fi gure out whether I wish to con-tinue in the political world.”

Abbott’s political engagement began in 1979 when he became a trustee for the Sicamous Waterworks District.

He joined the Colum-

bia Shuswap Regional District board in 1980 and took on the role of Shuswap MLA in 1996, serving fi ve years in opposition and 12 in government.

“I will be enjoying my 33rd anniversary of elected offi ce in Sep-tember,” he said. “Even for a youthful guy like me, it’s getting to be a long time.” Agreeing his party is facing tough issues, Abbott says solutions are always much more obvious on the opposition side of the house.

Abbott, who served three terms as minister of health, says he en-joys the Ministry of Ed-ucation, a portfolio he says comes with many puzzles to be solved.

“I’ve enjoyed them, but they do wear you,” he says, noting that, un-til three weeks ago, he was so immersed in ne-gotiations with the prov-ince’s teachers he didn’t have time to think about broader issues, or the wide criticism aimed at his government. He does not believe chang-ing the party’s name, something that will be debated at the party’s October convention, is a wise move.

“I think our problems go way beyond a name change,” he says. “I think our challenges go back to the extraordi-narily awkward and un-fortunate way we intro-duced the HST. We’re still living with that.”

Should he run in the

next election and should his government win, Abbott says Education would be his ministry of choice.

“The run for premier was the offi ce I was looking for,” he adds. “That was unsuccess-ful, so you move on.”

Abbott says he is eye-balling involvement in public policy develop-ment in his future – par-ticularly in the fi elds of health and education.

“I do need to think about whether I want to devote another four years to what is inevita-bly a roller coaster ride in politics,” he says. “Politics has driven me for a long time and I have to decide if it will drive me for another four years.”

Abraham Lincoln was right: You can fool all the people some of the time, and you can fool some of the people all of the time, but you cannot fool all the people all the time. Unfortunately, his dic-tum is irrelevant to modern Italian politics. In a democratic coun-try with a number of different parties, like Italy, you only have to fool about one-third of the people all the time to get and keep politi-cal power.

Silvio Berlusconi is making a comeback bid.

Only eight months after the disgraced pol-itician left the prime minister’s office by the back entrance to avoid the jeers of hos-tile crowds (they sang “Hallelujah” instead when they heard he was gone), he is talk-ing about a return to politics before the elec-tions next spring. And he could actually win.

Even six weeks ago this seemed preposter-ous. “Berlusconi is so dead he doesn’t even wear his makeup any more,” said comedian Beppo Grillo, and the various trials that Ber-lusconi faced for brib-ery, fraud, tax evasion, and paying for sex with a 17-year-old girl were taking up most of his

time. But if he is a po-litical zombie, he is one with lots of luck and plenty of money.

In February the brib-ery case, in which Ber-lusconi was accused of paying British lawyer David Mills to lie un-der oath in corruption trials in 1997 and 1998, ran out of time under the statute of limita-tions. (Mills was con-victed of accepting the bribe and sentenced to four and a half years in jail, but his sentence was cancelled on final appeal because of the same statute of limita-tions.) And who short-ened the time available to complete a prosecu-tion? Why, Prime Min-ister Berlusconi, that’s who.

Indeed, some people argue that Berlusconi first went into politics in 1994 to avoid con-viction in various crim-inal cases. He changed the law on accountancy to escape conviction for false accounting, and so far his changes to the statute of limitations have let him escape from six separate pros-ecutions for corruption, embezzlement and tax fraud. His most recent escape was last week, when a judge dismissed more tax-fraud charges against him because of the same statute of limitations.

That left only one set of charges relating to financial matters and the case alleging that he paid for sex with a minor at one of his famed “bunga bunga” parties. But she denies it happened, and also denies that his gifts to her of jewelry and money worth $300,000 had anything to do

with that denial. So the 75-year-old billionaire is confident that his le-gal problems are under control.

He would be even safer, however, if he were back in office and able to rewrite the laws whenever necessary, and besides he obvi-ously misses the lime-light. So he has started talking about a politi-cal comeback – and the circumstances are looking quite promis-ing for him.

He was forced out of office last Novem-ber because other Eu-ropean leaders were fed up with his embarrass-ing antics (at European Union summits they were going to comical lengths to avoid be-ing photographed with him), and because the financial markets had lost all confidence in his government.

His main tactic in politics has always been to bribe the voters with their own money, and the Italian econ-omy was going down the drain.

So Berlusconi was pushed out, and the non-political techno-crat who became prime minister in his place, Mario Monti, was giv-en the task of reining in spending and avoid-

ing a default on Italy’s huge debts. At first Monti enjoyed 80 per-cent support in opinion polls, but as his spend-ing cuts and tax rises began to bite his popu-larity sank. Besides, he has promised not to run in next year’s election anyway.

Berlusconi’s party, People of Freedom, has fallen on hard times politically during his absence. By mid-June, however, the polls were saying that if he took back the leader-ship, it would win 33 percent of the votes in an election.

“We are all asking him to run and I be-lieve that in the end he will decide to lead the party,” said Angelo Al-fano, the current leader of the Freedom People party, last week. Indeed, many people believe that Berlusconi chose the colourless and un-popular Alfano as his successor precisely be-cause it would make a comeback easier.

Berlusconi is still be-ing coy about his plans, but he is talking like a candidate. If he were in power, he hints, he would reverse Monti’s tax rises and revive the lavish spending pattern of his previous admin-istrations.

That would cause Italy to crash out of the euro, the common European currency, of course, but he had an answer for that: Italy should go back to the lira anyway.

Italy has the third-largest economy in the euro zone, so that could bring the whole curren-cy crashing down, but what does that matter so long as Silvio Ber-

lusconi is doing well? The man is a scoun-

drel, but a charming and very clever one, and that is something that Italians cannot help admiring. You can’t fool all the Italians all the time, but you can clearly fool a third of them forever.

School districts pan student testing results

Results are out on elementary school tests, but teachers sug-gest sending them to the shredder.

The provincial gov-ernment has released the findings of the Foundational Skills Assessment. It looks at student achievement in reading, writing and numeracy in grades 4 and 7.

“Parents should pay little or no attention to the results,” said Kevin Bader, president of the Vernon Teachers As-sociation.

“The results are from a very stressful set of tests taken over several days. At the best, it’s a one-time snapshot as-sessment.”

Bader says teach-ers are more focused on day-to-day assess-ments over a period of time instead of on how a student does on one particular day or with one test.

“Teachers are not against tests. FSAs are long and unreasonable and we would hope the government would work with us on a ran-dom sampling assess-ment.”

Education Minister George Abbott dis-agrees with the teach-ers on FSAs.

“They give parents, teachers, school dis-tricts and schools a snapshot of how stu-dents are doing in the core skills of reading, writing and numera-cy,” said the Shuswap MLA.

“Parents want this information, and I be-lieve the more informa-

tion parents have, the better able they are to support and help to im-prove the learning of their children.”

For the Vernon School District, the FSA show 60 per cent of Grade 4 students were meeting expecta-tions in reading while there were eight per

cent exceeding expec-tations. For writing, it was 61 per cent meeting and 16 per cent exceed-ing while it was 61 per cent meeting numeracy expectations and six per cent exceeding.

In Grade 7, 57 per cent were meeting reading expectations and there were nine

per cent exceeding. For writing, it was 67 per cent meeting expecta-tions and eight per cent exceeding and 55 per cent meeting expecta-tions in numeracy and four per cent exceed-ing.

In the North Oka-nagan-Shuswap School District, FSA results show 58 per cent of Grade 4 students were meeting reading ex-pectations while there were seven per cent ex-ceeding.

There was 64 per cent meeting and three per cent exceeding for writing, and 62 per cent meeting and five per cent exceeding in nu-meracy.

In Grade 7, 49 per cent of students were meeting expectations in reading and seven per cent were exceeding.

There was 66 per cent of students meet-ing and three per cent exceeding in writing and 47 per cent meet-ing and 14 per cent ex-ceeding in numeracy.

Now it’s time for a commercial break to bring to your attention a good product I use to successfully put out my “garden fires.”

I, like many of us I’m sure, have made a number of big garden foo-foos over the years, and the fallout of some of these blunders con-tinues to remind me of it year after cursed year.

There’s nothing like learning the hard way, and these unintentional problem areas are the last thing I need to deal with when there’s so many other tasks to keep me busy in the yard and garden. Take, for example, the time I stuck a baby gunnera down in my woodland garden where I thought it would eventually look great towering over the ferns and hos-tas.

Now this water-gob-bling hassle of a teen-ager is a real pain. Not only is it miles from a convenient water source, but it’s stupidly unconfined and the un-controllable root sys-tem is spreading out into the paths and sur-rounding garden beds.

Before I knew better, I constructed rock walls

without a grass barrier beneath them, which now requires continu-ous weeding both along the edges and out of the beds they contain.

The list of my mis-takes goes on and on (sigh).

My first and steepest learning curve, howev-er, has been my black-berry vine. I grew up on the Coast and pick-ing those delicious blackberries was going to be something I thought I was going to miss out on. When I moved up to the Shus-wap however, I was de-lighted to see that there was a huge wild patch growing near me. But it was on a steep bank and most of those black beauties were difficult, if not impossible, to pick.

I had seen a yard on the Island that had a very controlled and

fenced-in blackberry patch, whereby the owner could easily mow any vines that were making a run for it across the lawn.

I attempted to dupli-cate this little patch of heaven, but my big boo-boo was to plunk it into a big soil space with lots of soft ground to root into. At that par-ticular time of my life, I was preoccupied with child, chores and ever-expanding gardens, so it quickly became an non-tameable garden beastie.

My dreams of big, juicy blackberries hanging over the fence like a fruity waterfall quickly turned into a nightmare, and I couldn’t seem to get rid of it.

My means of coun-ter-attack was annually cutting it right back and digging out the root balls. But eradicating the pop-ups continually stymied me. Layers of cardboard didn’t work either, and using any poisonous substances wasn’t an option. I needed to bring in the big guns, and they turned out to be these Dinoflex rubber mats, which are approxi-mately three by three

feet in size, and pretty skookum in weight. I overlapped the mats all around the entire area to totally suffocate the remaining suckers that may be lurking under the ground and left them for a couple of years. It worked. Of course, I also killed off the living soil under-neath and deprived the ground of life-giving rains, so it wasn’t with-out some sacrifice. But like they say, desperate times require desperate measures.

Now I have all kinds of creative uses for the mats and I keep some stockpiled in case I come up with more ideas. They can easily be cut into the right sizes (with strong scis-sors) for weed barriers, so I use them around the base of my rock walls. They work great for lids and skirts for my compost bins, and I use them to cover up and protect my piles of organic materials, as well as for the ma-chines such as my chip-pers and power wagon. And, of course, they work the best for my temporary (and some-times out of pure des-peration – permanent) weed control mea-

sures.The company is lo-

cated in the industrial park near the SPCA in Salmon Arm and every year, now until Aug. 1 through the weekdays, they have a big parking lot sale with all sorts of recycled rubber prod-ucts.

I also see these mats at Canadian Tire now (and possibly other hardware stores), and they’re all about $3 each. For the truly un-ruly garden emergen-cies, slap a mat on it to buy you some time.

In the meantime, grab a lemonade, sit back and do what Scar-let O’Hara always said: “I won’t think about it today, I’ll think about it tomorrow.”

New recruit# Const. Micah Chan and Yvette, one of Salmon Arm’s newest additions to the K9 Unit, were out and about meeting local chil-dren earlier this summer. The pups are allowed to be petted up un-til six months in age, at which point their full training as a RCMP member begins.

People often ask me if they should buy organic fruits and veg-etables. Some of the common questions I get include: “Are organic foods better for you?” “Are they worth the ex-tra cost?” or, “I want to reduce my exposure to pesticides; which fruits and vegetables have the most residues?”

I always start by ensuring people that a diet high in plant-based foods has many health benefits, including re-duced risk of heart dis-ease, cancer, diabetes and other health prob-lems. The benefits of consuming adequate amounts of fruits and veggies outweigh the risk of pesticide expo-sure. So regardless of whether you choose conventionally grown produce or organic, the main goal should be to get a minimum of 7 to 10 servings of fruits and vegetables each day. One serving equals one piece of fruit or veg-etable or half a cup chopped.

However, if you are looking to reduce your exposure to pesticides and it’s within your budget to purchase or-ganic, then I think it’s worth it. It’s even bet-ter if you can purchase your organic food from a local source. Choosing local foods and buying organic when possible supports a more sustain-able food system and allows the industry to grow. We are entering the time of year where local food is becoming abundant in our prov-ince, so take advantage of your local farmers markets. The thing I love about the farmers market is you can talk directly to the person who grows your food! You can inquire about their farming practices and use of pesticides (if any). Some foods tend to be more heavily treat-ed as they are difficult to grow without getting bugs in them (if you

have a cherry tree you probably know what I mean). However, other fruits and vegetables tend to be more naturally bug free and require lit-tle or no treatment. You can significantly lower your pesticide intake by limiting the most con-taminated produce (or buying them organic) and eating more of the least contaminated fruits and vegetables.

The Environmental Working Group has recently released the 2012 Shoppers Guide to Pesticide in Produce. The guide can help you determine which fruits and vegetables have the most pesticide residues. It is important to consid-er this as a general guide, as pesticide levels on foods can vary depend-ing on where and how they are grown. The list was created based on studies done in the U.S. on local and imported fruits and vegetables. Nearly all of the stud-ies tested produce after it had been rinsed or peeled. To view the ex-tensive list of foods and a downloadable shop-pers guide visit www.ewg.org/foodnews/summary/.

A phone scam that ranked number one last year for the Bet-ter Business Bureau of Mainland BC (BBB) is back in B.C. again. Callers claim that the person’s computer is

compromised and they are requesting access in an attempt to bilk con-sumers out of dollars, while at the same time giving them access to personal data.

“The virus fixing

scam was particularly rampant across Canada last year and we are having similar reports again,” says Danielle Primrose, BBB Presi-dent and CEO.

Consumers who

have contacted BBB to report their experi-ence say that the scam always starts the same way: the phone rings at their home, and the caller asks for the householder, quoting

their name and address before stating that there “was a report from your Internet service pro-vider of serious virus problems from your computer.”

In order to “fix” it,

the computer owner is directed to a website and told to download a program that hands over remote access to the computer. And then comes time to pay a fee for a subscription to

this preventive service. The catch: there was never anything wrong with the computer. BBB advises the public to treat all unsolicited phone calls with skep-ticism.

SPORTSPredators match offer for Weber

It looks as though the Nashville Predators will be keeping their star defenceman Shea Weber.

The Nashville NHL franchise has decided to pony up and match an offer sheet Weber signed with the Phila-delphia Flyers that would see him earn up-wards of $110 million over the next 14 years. NHL insiders speculate Philly is on the offen-sive to replace d-man Chris Pronger, and in turn create one of the stronger defensive line-ups in the league.

Flyers general man-ager Paul Holmgren says he did not expect Nashville would come to the table with a coun-ter-offer.

“I learned at about 3:15 yesterday after-noon, and the initial re-action was disappoint-ment, but I guess we move on,” Holmgren said in a Wednesday

morning news confer-ence. “The chance of them matching was always there however hopeful we were of them not, it was always there, and they did. Now we move forward and see what we can do. We like our team; we think it’s a good, up-and-coming young team, and we will continue to try and add to it and make it better, which is what we tried to do with the offer sheet. We’ll move forward.”

For Nashville, matching Philly’s offer represents the largest contract offer they’ve ever put on the table. It’s stated in a Predators news release that We-ber is expected to lead the team for the next 14 years.

Weber, a restricted free agent, made head-lines last year when he came out of an arbi-tration decision with a $7.5 million (US) one-year award, making him the highest paid de-fenceman in the league.

In response, fellow Sicamous product and NHL blueliner Cody Franson suggested the decision may have been low.

“”I still think he might be underpaid at that price…,” said Franson. “I’m biased, maybe because he’s a good friend of mine and I’ve known him for a long time, and I think very highly of him. I think if you go around the league, there’s prob-ably 20 other teams that would have paid him that dollar, if not more. I don’t think you can say a guy is overpaid or not worth that when there’s that much want for him out there.”

That Predators would match the Flyers’ of-fer did not surprise Si-camous Eagles general manager Wayne March. With the team already having lost Ryan Suter, March says Weber, an Eagles alumni, is the man holding the team together.

“He’s the heart and

soul of that team,” said March. “They’re start-ing to build a good fran-chise there and the fan base is coming back and if they lost him, as far as I’m concerned, it would just go down hill.”

March figures Philly offered the $110 mil-lion with the hope that no one, including Nash-ville, would be able to match it.

“Good for him – I think that’s awesome,” said March.

News of Philadel-phia’s deal with Weber began making head-lines last Thursday, less than a week after the Sicamous Shootout, Weber and Franson’s

inaugural golf tourna-ment/cancer fundraiser at Hyde Mountain.

During the tourney, Weber thrilled attend-ees and local volunteers when he announced he would donate $50,000 of his own money to a disaster relief fund set up to help residents of Sicamous who suffered in the recent flooding.

Sicamous residents appear to be enthusi-astic cheering Weber’s good fortune on the Eagle Valley News Fa-cebook page.

Chris Fraser writes: “Not too shabby for a local boy. One of the top defencemen in the NHL! I hope Nashville matches the contract. Ugh to see him in a Flyers uniform.”

Shauna Ploentzke writes: “If anybody de-serves this, it’s Shea! I’m so proud of him.”

REBUILD OR REMAN?Part 1 of a 2 part series

Many general repair shops are getting into the transmis-sion repair business by offering to install “reman” trans-

missions.What is a reman? A reman is a transmission that’s been re-

manufactured in a factory setting, and shipped to the repair shop to be installed as a complete unit.

Is it okay to buy a reman? That’s a pretty broad question. The answer depends on the quality of the reman itself. Some are very high quality; others less so.

More important than the reman itself, however, is the shop or technician performing the diagnosis. Remember: Many cars with transmission problems don’t actually need a new trans-mission. And, if your car doesn’t need a new transmission, you shouldn’t pay for one.

Tops in team tennisA total of seven Salmon Arm teams headed

to Kamloops last Friday, July 20, to compete in a three-day 2012 Miele Interior Regional Playoffs, with one team earning a berth at provincials.

In the 4.0/4.5 women’s event, SATC #1 came in third overall, with Loree Boyd, Eliana Viner, Mari-etjie DuPlessis, Shannon Hecker, Sue Ford, making up the teams members.

The 3.0/3.5 women’s event had Nostra Squadra winning third place in a round robin. With Karen Hoover, Diana Inselberg, Linda Brown, Chris Me-lin, DeeDee Shattock and Indira Greenhough mak-ing up the team roster. This was the first team event for five members of this group.

The 3.0/3.5 women’s event saw the Racquet Scientists placing second place also overall in the seven-team event. Marianne VanBuskirk, Deb-bie Harrison, Supha Phonchiangkwang, Shannon Qiodravu, Carol Ross made up the players of this team, with Harrison and VanBuskirk also compet-ing in the doubles team and winning all eight of their match sets over the weekend.

The 4.0/4.5 men’s event saw SATC#1, with Ken Hecker, George Kocsis, Jim Kocsis, Doug Rawson and Winston Pain taking first place overall. The Kocsis brothers won all of their matches dur-ing the weekend. The 4.0/4.5 men’s event had the Salmon Arm Grinders taking second place overall. Kevin Pearson, Solo Qiodravu, Robin Wiens, De-tlef Doose and Alan Harrison made up the team’s roster. Only two teams entered this event, both be-ing from Salmon Arm. As a result, one combined team will be representing the Salmon Arm Tennis Club in the provincials.

The 3.0/3.5 men’s event brought the Salmon Arm Hackers into fifth place. Players Mick Ford, Don Henry, Keith Brown, Eugene Ogino, Don Ross, faced difficult opponents throughout the weekend. The 3.0/3.5 men’s event also had the Salmon Arm Steve’s Team winning second place overall. Team members Steve Bradwell, Ian McHarg, Malcolm Shattock, Chad Hare and Bruce McFadden had been tied for first place. However, due to rain delays and time restrictions the team made the difficult decision to concede.

Chase OptometricChase OptometricCentre Ltd.Centre Ltd.

After 27 years of practice in Chase, Dr. Deane Gerry and Dr. George Ujimoto will be retiring from the Chase location as of July 31, 2012. The practice will now be in the capable hands

of the Shuswap Optometric Centre.

A sincere thank you is extended to our patients and the community for their continued support.

Chase Recreation staff have popcorn, pop, and other goodies available during Mov-ie Nights, held each Thursday evening at 7 p.m. in the Chase Com-munity Hall during the summer months.

The sound system is excellent, very much like a movie theatre, surrounding the audi-ence with sound has an engaging effect.

Hunger Games was the feature shown July 19. As I had recently read the book, this was an opportunity to com-pare versions, a review of perspectives a way to further explore the story.

The book was: writ-ten by Suzanne Collins, and the final screenplay version was created by Suzanne Collins and Gary Ross. The Hunger Games was filmed in various locations, all in North Carolina.

The book holds ap-peal for boys and girls over the age of 12, but the violent content was

even more prominent on screen. A PG-13 rating was issued and so there were a num-ber of younger viewers in the room. Person-ally, I found the movie a bit over the top for violence, and left the hall feeling a bit over-stimulated for the drive home. Fortunately by the time I was ready for sleep, the images had mostly left my psyche, with no nightmares re-sulting.

Kylie Schmidt, who had read the Hunger Games, was in the au-dience July 19, and put things into perspec-tive. “The special ef-fects were the best part, though overall the book was way better.

Chloe Hassler said, “I enjoyed the movie, though there were parts missing, it wasn’t as good as the book.”

“The movie was re-

ally good, but not as good as the book,” Cail-len Anderson agreed.

I wasn’t able to speak with anyone who had seen the film version, without having read the book. I did wonder as I watched the movie, whether the story was as well understood to someone who hadn’t read it. Though the film was longer, at two-and-a-half hours, I had to agree with Hassler there was much more to the story in the book.

Patrons of the CRS Movie Night have solved the problem of less-than-comfortable seating by bringing their own lawn chair. There is popcorn and other snacks, with pop available at reasonable prices – as is the $2 admission.

Celebrating salmon in stories, songsand reeled to the sounds of Birchbark.

Promoting and sup-porting opportunities for education, interpre-tation and conservation of the cultural and natu-ral values of a healthy, natural environment is the mission of ARSS.

In October each year, the society celebrates the world famous Salute to the Sockeye and en-courages higher levels of education, preserva-tion and understanding of our environment.

Organizer Blair Ac-ton recognized an op-portunity for educating members of the public who reside seasonally in the Shuswap, along with tourists. An in-terpretive facility has been developed to help visitors appreciate and understand the ecology of the salmon and the environment.

The interpretive centre plays an impor-tant role in the regional economy by attracting people to the area and providing recreational opportunities that en-hance the quality of life for residents and visi-tors.

Storyteller Ralph McBryan, of the Little Shuswap Indian Band, held his audience spell-bound as he told two traditional tales, Where Salmon Came From and How the Bear Lost His Tail.

McBryan explained that in his culture, knowledge is not writ-ten down but passed from generation to gen-eration in the form of stories. Storytelling, he says, is his gift from the Creator, and he is prepared to pass his sto-ries along to a younger member of the band.

When I asked McBryan how he came to realize his talent, he laughed, “It really helps to be a good BS’er. I can talk to anyone, any-time. Getting up in front of a crowd is no prob-lem at all.”

Pottery SaleThe Shuswap is an

area where artists draw inspiration. On July 21 and 22 at the North

Shuswap Commu-nity Association Hall in Celista, there was a showcase of works called the Great Shus-wap Pottery Sale.

Pottery was featured in many forms, includ-ing a huge collection of whimsical characters, hanging fish, and of course ceramic dishes in all shapes and sizes.

Stained glass, weav-ing, metal works, sculp-tures, and a large selec-tion of paintings were also shown — some-thing to suit any tastes in decorating and the variety was tremen-dous.

If you missed out, the High Country Pottery Sale on Aug. 4 and 5 at Sorrento Memorial Hall will run from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. See www.high-countrypotterysale.com for details.

An art show and sale opens at 10 a.m. Aug. 18 and 19 at the North Shuswap Community Hall.

If you need more information contact Ed or Allison at 250- 955-2588 or check out www.northshuswap-communityhall.ca.

Chase CornStock The Chase area corn

is sweet and delicious, worthy of celebrating with a festival.

Chase CornStock will take place Satur-day Aug. 11 from noon to 10 p.m.

The day will be full with music, children’s activities, farmers’ mar-ket, food vendors, beer gardens, and of course – corn.

The CornStar stage will feature perfor-mances by musicians from throughout the province.

The CornField Mar-ket will offer a selection of produce and products from local farmers and crafters, and the Little Kernels Zone will be home to an assortment of crafts and activities for children.

For more informa-tion and a schedule of the event, check out the website at www.ChaseCornStock.com or e-mail the committee at [email protected].

Breaking a leg may not seem very lucky.

But the outcome could have been much worse when a man from Alberta jumped into Celista Creek above Albas Falls.

Shuswap Volunteer Search and Rescue was called out to the North Shuswap last Wednes-day afternoon and ar-rived at the scene to discover the young man had managed to get out of the water.

“He had jumped into a pool and his leg got caught between two rocks and snapped his ankle,” said SAR search manager John Schut.

Along with nine SAR members, including a stretcher team, Coast Guard Rescue Boat #1 out of Sicamous and an ambulance crew were also dispatched.

“We found him sit-ting on a craggy rock,” said Schut.

“We extricated him, splinted his leg and had just done splinting him when the ambulance

crew came along and looked after his vitals.”

Schut says extrica-tion was a challenge in the “boiling heat.”

“It was a bit of a hike to get him out; he was a big fellow, a well-built young man over six feet tall,” Schut said. “We packed him up from just above the falls to a bridge and then across to a road.”

From there, the man was taken in a B.C. Parks truck to the lake and transferred to the rescue boat, before be-ing transported by am-bulance to Vernon for treatment.

Schut says the ex-trication took about 90 minutes and volunteers were out on the call for about four hours.

“He was a very good patient and it all worked out really well,” he said. “Between SAR, the ambulance, Parks and the boat people, there was really good team work. It all fell together nicely.”

Schut says the water is still high and people should be cautious.

In another incident,

Schut and one other SAR volunteer spent 20 hours helping Ver-non SAR find a hiker, who became lost in the mountains north of Sugar Lake last Friday.

The mountain was shrouded in mist and cloud Saturday. A pri-vate helicopter and RCMP helicopter helped with the search and the mist lifted enough to spot the man, who was wearing shirts and a T-shirt, and tat-tered rain jacket.

“I’m still bagged,” said Schut, Sunday eve-ning.

FROM FARM TO TABLE

Berries are such a goldmine for fl avour. Whose mouth wouldn’t

water at the thought of wild berries dipped in chocolate, berry sorbets, upside-down cakes, and bowls of berries and cream. Good thing it’s summertime!

Berries are the stars of the show in many kitchens, especially during July and August. Everyday cooks are magically transformed into gourmet chefs, skilfully turning local produce into mouthwatering delights for their guests or concocting sinfully delicious treats just for themselves.

Even though recipes are as numerous as they are varied, you could still search the many gourmet Internet sites in order to fi nd ideas that will make your taste buds explode with pleasure. Another great source for deliciously original recipes is popular cooking magazines or, if you really want to spoil yourself, a magnifi cent recipe book with photos on every page.

To make your mouth really water, browse the pastry counter at your local bakery, where glazed berry tarts and pies will inspire you to get out your wallet and splurge!

Cooking with berries

Berries are the stars in many kitchens, especially during the summer months.

With a wide variety of berries available in stores year round, we really are a priviledged bunch!

Strawberries, with their high vitamin C content, are the fi rst berries to fi nd their way onto grocery store shelves in early summer. There are several different types of strawberry, including late-harvest varieties that enable us to enjoy their juicy, fresh fl avour right through to the fall.

Blueberries are little jewels packed with antioxidants. They are delicious fresh, frozen, and cooked into blueberry sauce with just a bit of water added. Another great berry with a high fi bre content is the raspberry. When served with cereal and yogurt, it is incomparable for aiding digestion.

Be sure to include the amazing little blueberry in your diet, as it can actually help to improve your eyesight!
