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.

LASS praised for effective efforts in a short time frame Continued from front ernmental organizations) and businesses in each province and territory. LASS has brought many programs to the Shuswap community that have benefits in most of these areas. Some of their accomplishments include the Coyote Cafe, where young aboriginal students can strengthen their reading abilities through play, puppet shows, group and oneon-one reading, among other methods. Coyote Cafe has just ended their pilot year and work is already underway towards expanding the program for next year.
Other programs run by LASS are Unplug and Play Family Literacy Week, which has close to 1,300 participants take part each year, Save/Spend/Share Financial Literacy Program, 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 involves 200 community volunteers in 13 different schools. “Literacy is a gateway every individual must pass through if they are to become fully engaged citizens,” said Minister of Education George Abbott in a press release. “Groups like LASS
help create the opportunity for everyone, no matter what their background, 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 outstanding 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 providing literacy opportunities for those in need – from babies to seniors – in the large geographical region (8,500 square kilometres), which is the North Okanagan-Shuswap.”

Workshops yield magic Like a patchwork quilt, Roots and Blues Festival 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 potential of creating new styles,� he says, noting that Urban 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 urban fusion,� Adham Shaik. “Traditional music, like the Celtic of Cape Breton is highly guarded and Indian ragas have strict structures,� says Rampen. “Let’s throw that all out the window and let them create music that has traditional roots but is allowed to fuse and mix into a multi-cultural cocktail with an urban feel.� On the Barn Stage Saturday Watch Us Watch You runs 10:30 a.m. Long before social media, songwriters have provided the medium 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 infiltrate 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 flavour of powerful horns and urban pop, with a hint of world fusions. Spice it up with DJ zest and have an incredible 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 examine the different approaches to songwriting. The process is unique to the person as will be highlighted by four incredible and unique songwriters – Buckman Coe, Taj Weekes, Cuff The Duke and Demetra. On the Shade Stage Saturday 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.’ Week Final our for
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 brilliantly conveys her urban experience while Cold Specks explores the connection between foreign environments and spirituality. Raleigh’s songs express deep emotional landscapes while Buckman Coe’s music speaks of his experiences studying the eco-psychological 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 Shuffle Demons. On the Blues Stage Saturday 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 boyhood 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 influence of jazz and big band. This is a no-holds-barred blues journey with three of the most interesting contemporary world/blues fusion 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 workshop, 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 incomparable 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 outfit that will have everybody up on the dance floor. 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.

Friday, July 27, 2012 Shuswap Market News
OPINION Will MLA retirements help the Liberals? It’s natural for a political party to see several of its sitting members retire shortly before an election. 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, realistically, 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. -Prince George Free Press

The lure of B.C.’s open roads 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 sometimes. Especially if I’m driving around and they happen 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 photographer Liz Bryan’s book, Country Roads of British Columbia. “The country roads in Country Roads of British Columbia traverse the province’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 readers to come along and experience British Columbia’s scenic heartland by explore the amazing landscapes that make up the province of British Columbia. Through
THE GREAT OUTDOORS James Murray 18 picturesque rural and backcountry journeys, mostly in the Interior between the Rockies and the Coastal Mountains, Bryan takes readers through some of the most diverse and beautiful scenery on the planet. Winding through sagebrush and forest, grassland plateaus and mountain valleys, beside river canyons, lakes and multi-coloured volcanic rocks, the 18 different road trips outlined in Bryan’s book reveal the rich variety of both the province’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 backcountry roads that criss-cross this geography have provided Bryan with ample material 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. Journey to their villages under the great ridge of the Rocher Deboule range into a magical landscape of mist and memories, deep forests and high, snow-covered mountains. 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 homesteaders 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 Country Roads of British Columbia provide excellent back-
ground information, descriptive 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 invaluable travel guide that any smart traveller should have beside them on the front seat when they head out to explore the amazing landscapes and breathtaking beauty that make up the province. As a photographer, I cannot help but admire the photographs in Country Roads of British Columbia. As an itinerant soul, however, I cannot help read Liz Bryan’s words and understand even more what John Denver 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.

Brass an inspiration to many Maureen Brass never had an opportunity to see her efforts come to fruition as a leader organizing the centennial celebrations for the Sorrento community. Her spirit remains strong though, as her work is evident in the planning and entertainers for a family celebration planned for September, which will include 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 Canada and spent a year in Toronto. After moving to Calgary, Brass noticed a nurse posting in the North West Territories. Thinking she was heading for northern Alberta, Brass spent 18 months in Cape Dorset on Baffin Island serving the Inuit. She returned to Alberta, eventually finding work at Foothills Hospital before taking a position with the Stoney Nakoda First Nation at the Morley Health Clinic. Brass was given the Indian name “Lucy
OUT AND ABOUT Lynda Hooper 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 inoculations. “The mountains were not the reason she spent so much time in Canmore,” son Elliot said in his eulogy, which was read by longtime friend Gladstone Friesen. Elliot explains guests would come to visit and comment 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 Governor General’s Award for being an outstanding Canadian. Brass was known for her sense of humour and her Scottish brogue, which became more prominent the more excited she became. With a zest for life, and a hard-working attitude, Brass moved to Sorrento to be closer to her twin sons living on the Coast. Retired from nursing, she immediately got involved with the Beautify Sorrento Community project, but Shuswap Hospital Foundation Director Jackie Morrison said Brass continued her caring for people, organizing a health fair and blood pressure clinic. Leader of the Scottish 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 background. 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 memorial with inspiration from this special woman, “Don’t do anything half brassed.”

Abbott weighs his options By Barb Brouwer MARKET NEWS STAFF

And, despite the rumours, 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 declared last week. “I am hoping to get vacation time to figure out whether I wish to continue 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 five years in opposition and 12 in government. “I will be enjoying my 33rd anniversary of elected office in September,” 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 enjoys the Ministry of Education, a portfolio he says comes with many puzzles to be solved.
“I’ve enjoyed them, but they do wear you,” he says, noting that, until three weeks ago, he was so immersed in negotiations with the province’s teachers he didn’t have time to think about broader issues, or the wide criticism aimed at his government. He does not believe changing 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 extraordinarily awkward and unfortunate way we introduced 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 office I was looking for,” he adds. “That was unsuccessful, so you move on.” Abbott says he is eyeballing involvement in public policy development in his future – particularly in the fields of health and education. “I do need to think about whether I want to devote another four years to what is inevitably 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.”

Berlusconi’s return: curse of the undead
GLOBAL VIEWS Gwynne Dyer 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 dictum is irrelevant to modern Italian politics. In a democratic country 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 political power. Silvio Berlusconi is making a comeback bid. Only eight months after the disgraced politician left the prime minister’s office by the back entrance to avoid the jeers of hostile crowds (they sang “Hallelujah” instead when they heard he was gone), he is talking about a return to politics before the elections next spring. And he could actually win. Even six weeks ago this seemed preposterous. “Berlusconi is so dead he doesn’t even wear his makeup any more,” said comedian Beppo Grillo, and the various trials that Berlusconi faced for bribery, 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 political zombie, he is one with lots of luck and plenty of money. In February the bribery case, in which Berlusconi was accused of paying British lawyer David Mills to lie under oath in corruption trials in 1997 and 1998, ran out of time under the statute of limitations. (Mills was convicted 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 limitations.) And who shortened the time available to complete a prosecution? Why, Prime Minister Berlusconi, that’s who. Indeed, some people argue that Berlusconi first went into politics in 1994 to avoid conviction in various criminal 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 prosecutions 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 legal 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 obviously misses the limelight. So he has started talking about a political comeback – and the circumstances are looking quite promising for him.
“So he has started talking about a political comeback – and the circumstances are looking quite promising for him.”
He was forced out of office last November because other European leaders were fed up with his embarrassing antics (at European Union summits they were going to comical lengths to avoid being 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 economy was going down the drain. So Berlusconi was pushed out, and the non-political technocrat who became prime minister in his place, Mario Monti, was given the task of reining in spending and avoid-
ing a default on Italy’s huge debts. At first Monti enjoyed 80 percent support in opinion polls, but as his spending cuts and tax rises began to bite his popularity 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 leadership, it would win 33 percent of the votes in an election. “We are all asking him to run and I believe that in the end he will decide to lead the party,” said Angelo Alfano, the current leader of the Freedom People party, last week. Indeed, many people believe that Berlusconi chose the colourless and unpopular Alfano as his successor precisely because it would make a comeback easier. Berlusconi is still being 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 administrations. 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 thirdlargest economy in the euro zone, so that could bring the whole currency crashing down, but what does that matter so long as Silvio Ber-
Shuswap Branch Saturday, September 8, 2012
lusconi is doing well? The man is a scoundrel, 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 By Richard Rolke BLACK PRESS
Results are out on elementary school tests, but teachers suggest sending them to the shredder. The provincial government 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 Association. “The results are from a very stressful set of tests taken over several days. At the best, it’s a one-time snapshot assessment.” Bader says teachers are more focused on day-to-day assessments 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 random sampling assessment.” Education Minister George Abbott disagrees with the teachers on FSAs.
“...I believe the more information parents have, the better able they are to support and help to improve the learning of their children.” - George Abbott
“They give parents, teachers, school districts and schools a snapshot of how students are doing in the core skills of reading, writing and numeracy,” said the Shuswap MLA. “Parents want this information, and I believe the more informa-

Mats great cover-up for mistakes 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 continues 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 hostas. Now this water-gobbling hassle of a teenager is a real pain. Not only is it miles from a convenient water source, but it’s stupidly unconfined and the uncontrollable root system is spreading out into the paths and surrounding garden beds. Before I knew better, I constructed rock walls

without a grass barrier beneath them, which now requires continuous weeding both along the edges and out of the beds they contain. The list of my mistakes goes on and on (sigh). My first and steepest learning curve, however, has been my blackberry vine. I grew up on the Coast and picking those delicious blackberries was going to be something I thought I was going to miss out on. When I moved up to the Shuswap however, I was delighted 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 duplicate 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 particular time of my life, I was preoccupied with child, chores and everexpanding 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 counter-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 approximately 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 underneath and deprived the ground of life-giving rains, so it wasn’t without 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 scissors) 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 machines such as my chippers and power wagon. And, of course, they work the best for my temporary (and sometimes out of pure desperation – permanent) weed control mea-

Getting the dirt on organic produce LIVING WELL People often ask me if they should buy organic fruits and vegetables. Some of the common questions I get include: “Are organic foods better for you?” “Are they worth the extra 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 reduced risk of heart disease, cancer, diabetes and other health problems. The benefits of consuming adequate amounts of fruits and veggies outweigh the risk of pesticide exposure. 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 vegetable or half a cup chopped. However, if you are looking to reduce your exposure to pesticides and it’s within your budget to purchase organic, then I think it’s worth it. It’s even better if you can purchase your organic food from a local source. Choosing local foods and buying organic when possible supports a more sustainable food system and allows the industry to grow. We are entering the time of year where local food is becoming abundant in our province, 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 treated 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 little or no treatment. You can significantly lower your pesticide intake by limiting the most contaminated 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 consider this as a general guide, as pesticide levels on foods can vary depending 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 studies tested produce after it had been rinsed or peeled. To view the extensive list of foods and a downloadable shoppers guide visit www. ewg.org/foodnews/ summary/. - Simone Jennings, is a registered dietitian with Interior Health

CROCKER, RICHARD It is with sadness that we announce the sudden passing of Richard Crocker at Royal Inland Hospital in Kamloops, BC on July 23, 2012 at the age of 49 years. Richard was born June 25, 1963 in Vernon, BC to Randel and Flora Crocker. Richard, with his family, moved to Canoe, BC in 1972 where Richard completed high school. Richard remained at home with his parents for a great deal of his life and on May 20, 2006 he married Sharel Elliot. He and Sharel purchased a home in Salmon Arm where they have lived together till his sudden death. Richard loved to read, and paper back western books were his favourite. He was a huge fan of the Canucks and very rarely missed a game. He collected Cd’s and coins and at one time had a very large collection of them both. He loved to play games on the computer and Face Book kept him up to date on his large family. Richard had a carefree attitude and enjoyed just being Richard. Richard is survived by his wife, Sharel; stepdaughter, Crystal Elliott, stepson, Kelly Elliott both of Kelowna; his oldest sister, Dorothy (Cliff) Polichek of Ottawa, his sister Linda (Ron) Brown of Smithers, BC, his sister Roberta (Doug) Brown of Smithers, his brother Robert (Linda) Crocker of Salmon Arm, BC, his brother, Bruce (Bea) Crocker of Vernon, BC, his sister Donna (Gordon) Davies of Salmon Arm, BC and many nieces and nephews. Richard also leaves behind his precious dog of 16 years Poncho. Richard was predeceased by his father Randel in 1991, his mother Flora in 2004 and his brotherin-law Toby Besner, nephews Bobby and Ronnie Besner, Timmy Crocker and his niece Teena Crocker. Words cannot express how much Richard will be missed by everyone who knew him, he touched the lives of many and our lives were enriched by his presences. There will be a Celebration of Life for Richard held at his parent’s previous home in Canoe on Saturday, July 28th, 2012 at 2:00 pm, 5421 71th Ave. NE, Canoe, BC. Cremation with interment to follow in the family plot in Mt. Ida Cemetery, Salmon Arm.

Predators match offer for Weber By Lachlan Labere MARKET NEWS STAFF
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 Philadelphia Flyers that would see him earn upwards of $110 million over the next 14 years. NHL insiders speculate Philly is on the offensive to replace d-man Chris Pronger, and in turn create one of the stronger defensive lineups in the league. Flyers general manager Paul Holmgren says he did not expect Nashville would come to the table with a counter-offer. “I learned at about 3:15 yesterday afternoon, and the initial reaction was disappointment, but I guess we move on,” Holmgren said in a Wednesday
morning news conference. “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-andcoming 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 Weber is expected to lead the team for the next 14 years. Weber, a restricted free agent, made headlines last year when he came out of an arbitration decision with a $7.5 million (US) oneyear award, making him the highest paid defenceman 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 probably 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’ offer did not surprise Sicamous 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
Shea Weber soul of that team,” said March. “They’re starting to build a good franchise 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 million with the hope that no one, including Nashville, would be able to match it. “Good for him – I think that’s awesome,” said March. News of Philadelphia’s deal with Weber began making headlines last Thursday, less than a week after the Sicamous Shootout, Weber and Franson’s
inaugural golf tournament/cancer fundraiser at Hyde Mountain. During the tourney, Weber thrilled attendees 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 enthusiastic cheering Weber’s good fortune on the Eagle Valley News Facebook 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 deserves this, it’s Shea! I’m so proud of him.”

REBUILD OR REMAN? Part 1 of a 2 part series any general repair shops are getting into the transmission repair business by offering to install “reman” transmissions. What is a reman? A reman is a transmission that’s been remanufactured 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.
M
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 transmission. And, if your car doesn’t need a new transmission, you shouldn’t pay for one. 2560 Trans Canada Hwy. SW • 250-833-1889

THE SALMON ARM
SILVERBACKS SPOTLIGHT The Silverbacks will have several new faces in the line-up this season, including a defender who is well known in BCHL households. Kelowna native Brayden Sherbinin was acquired as part of a futures deal with Cowichan Valley last season, along with former Silverback Brandon Mistal. Sherbinin; who stands 6 feet tall and is armed with a lefthanded shot, will bring another offensive presence to the Apes blue line. The 19 year old says that after moving around last year, he is elated to have a new home in Salmon Arm “We’re all looking for a new beginning with a new coach and things are really looking up for the program.” Sherbinin is not only a former Cowichan Valley Capital but a one-time Westside Warrior as well, a rivalry he’s looking forward too “I don’t think the two teams like each other very much so it should be a lot of fun.” With 47 points in 108 BCHL games, it’s easy for Brayden to describe his style of play “I’m an offensive defenseman, definitely a skater who likes to move the puck and jump up in the play.” Not just feet and hands, this Okanagan product sports his thinking cap as well, he’s committed to Quinnipiac University after this season, “It’s going to be a great time, I’ve heard lots of great things about college hockey and how exciting it is to play so it will really be a great experience.” Brayden and the rest of his SilverBack teammates will kick-off Main Camp on August 23rd at the Shaw Centre. Stay tuned for next week’s feature on returning forward Brandon Mistal and his thoughts on new Head Coach Troy Mick and another go round in Salmon Arm.

The sound system is excellent, very much like a movie theatre, surrounding the audience 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 compare versions, a review of perspectives a way to further explore the story. The book was: written 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.

#Little Shuswap Indian Band’s Ralph McBryan regales the audience with traditional stories. even more prominent on screen. A PG-13 rating was issued and so there were a number of younger viewers in the room. Personally, I found the movie a bit over the top for violence, and left the hall feeling a bit overstimulated for the drive home. Fortunately by the time I was ready for sleep, the images had mostly left my psyche, with no nightmares resulting. Kylie Schmidt, who had read the Hunger Games, was in the audience July 19, and put things into perspective. “The special effects 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,” Caillen 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-anda-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.

and reeled to the sounds of Birchbark. Promoting and supporting opportunities for education, interpretation and conservation of the cultural and natural 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 encourages higher levels of education, preservation and understanding of our environment. Organizer Blair Acton recognized an opportunity for educating members of the public who reside seasonally in the Shuswap, along with tourists. An interpretive facility has been developed to help visitors appreciate and understand the ecology of the salmon and the environment. The interpretive centre plays an important role in the regional economy by attracting people to the area and providing recreational opportunities that enhance the quality of life for residents and visitors. Storyteller Ralph McBryan, of the Little Shuswap Indian Band, held his audience spellbound 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 written down but passed from generation to generation in the form of stories. Storytelling, he says, is his gift from the Creator, and he is prepared to pass his stories 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, anytime. Getting up in front of a crowd is no problem at all.”
Shuswap Community Association Hall in Celista, there was a showcase of works called the Great Shuswap Pottery Sale. Pottery was featured in many forms, including a huge collection of whimsical characters, hanging fish, and of course ceramic dishes in all shapes and sizes. Stained glass, weaving, metal works, sculptures, and a large selection of paintings were also shown — something to suit any tastes in decorating and the variety was tremendous. 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.highcountrypotterysale.com for details. An art show and sale opens at 10 a.m. Aug. 18 and 19 at the North Shuswap Community Hall.

Schut and one other SAR volunteer spent 20 hours helping Vernon 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 private 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 tattered rain jacket. “I’m still bagged,” said Schut, Sunday evening.

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 Wednesday afternoon and arrived 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 sitting 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 extrication 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 being transported by ambulance to Vernon for treatment. Schut says the extrication 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,

STADNYK, WASYL ALFRED (Bill) Wasyl Alfred Stadnyk {Bill} aged 79, passed away at his home in Cache Creek, BC on Sat., July 14, 2012. Bill was born at home near Canora, Sask. on Sept 21, 1932. He was predeceased by his parents, Nickolas and Sandy and his wife, Martha. Bill leaves behind his sister, Jean Kissick of Edmonton, his Daughter, Dianne {Mike} Golinski of Salmon Arm, BC, his granddaughters Marcia and Melissa {Karl}, many nieces and one nephew, as well as his special friends Joan and Angela and so many other very good friends. Bill was passionate about his accordions and at the time of his passing owned more than 135. He played them, repaired them, collected them, displayed them and just would talk to anyone about them. He knew the story and worth of each one. Of course to keep up with this hobby he did have to go to the casino in Kamloops on Saturdays. He was a good person who hated conflict and would just walk away. He spoke with his sister every morning at 6:30 am and often in the afternoon. The discussions were many and varied. Bill was capable of repairing nearly anything that was broken and was always helping people out. The memorial service was held for Bill at Chum’s in Cache Creek on Sat, July 21, 2012, 3:00 p.m. where he spent so much time visiting, drinking coffee, fixing stuff and just being Bill to everyone. Fischer’s Funeral Services of Salmon Arm and Thompson Valley funeral home of Ashcroft handled the arrangements and cremation. Donations to the heart and stroke fund would be appreciated as both Bill and Martha passed away from stroke or cardiac problems.

HAYMAN, JULIA MAE June 29, 1918 - July 15, 2012 “Julie” passed away peacefully at Piccadilly Care Centre, just a few weeks after her 94th birthday. Julie was predeceased by her husband, Jim, in 1980. She is survived and will be missed by her daughter, Marsha Miller (John) of Blind Bay, son Mike (Milvia) of Quesnel, four grandchildren and five great-grandchildren. The family would like to thank the devoted staff at Piccadilly Care Centre for their tender care of Julie during her four and a half years there. She was fortunate indeed to find such a good home. We also appreciate the dedication of the staff at McGuire’s Seniors Residence, where she lived previously. There will be a gathering for family and friends at Courtenay Civic Cemetery in September. In Loving Memory of WEED, CECIL LEROY December 8, 1929 - July 16, 2012 It is with heartfelt sadness that we announce the passing of Cec Weed of Sorrento, B.C. Cec was born in Melford, Saskatchwan. At the age of 13, he travelled to BC to start building his dream. At age of 24, he married Doreen Thom in May 1954. They had a long and happy marriage. They were true soul mates. Cec spent most of his life in the trucking business. He partnered up with a long time friend and started a successful trucking company in the lower mainland. When he decided it was time to retire, his three sons took over the business and have done him proud by making it very successful. Cec moved to Sorrento in 1999, where he and Doreen enjoyed working around the yard and enjoying each others company. Many people knew him as the man who loved to talk. He had many stories to share with those who would listen. We all knew him as a loving caring man, who would give you the world if he could. He will be sadly missed by all that knew him.

ith 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 first berries to find 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 flavour 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 fibre content is the raspberry. When served with cereal and yogurt, it is incomparable for aiding digestion.
Berries are the stars in many kitchens, especially during the summer months.
