Pickton book prompts B.C. ban on profits from crime Black Press

The B.C. government has proposed a law to stop murderers and others convicted of serious crimes from profiting through sales of books or memorabilia related to their crimes.

Public Safety Minister Mike Morris said the legislation he presented Thursday is a response to a book written about Robert Pickton's serial killings in Metro Vancouver. It was produced by a U.S. author and briefly marketed by online re-

tailer Amazon.

The U.S. publisher withdrew the book in February after a public outcry, and Premier Christy Clark promised a law to prevent criminals from trying a similar way to make money.

Morris said the legislation is similar to that of other provinces, including Saskatchewan, where a court challenge over a book by former cabinet minister Colin Thatcher was not successful.

Thatcher maintained he was wrongly convicted of murdering his wife in

1983, but later agreed to turn over profits from his book to the Saskatchewan government.

Morris said the B.C. Profits of Criminal No-

toriety Act is designed to recover any revenue made by anyone dealing with a convicted criminal, and distribute that money to victims of the crimes in question.

"Any arrangement that any convicted criminal makes with anybody, through an agent or through a contract, for them to make a profit from their crime is covered under this act," Morris said.

"Because the individual who was involved [in the Pickton book] was down in the States, we would

Opinion

The painful truth Like it or not the internet is going to eat, digest, and regurgitate everything in the world.

I’m mostly okay with this, but sometimes my curiosity about the process takes me to strange places.

Have you ever heard of the word Kumamon?

No? Not surprising. Kumamon is the government-created mascot of Kumamoto Prefecture, a district of Japan.

Kumamon is a smiling, rotund black bear with a white face and bright red circles on his cheeks.

He shows up at public events, waving and having a blast, and being photographed frequently.

And then those photos go into the all-powerful and ever-hungry maw of the internet.

A few years back, photos of Kumamon, stripped of all local context or identifying information, started turning up in the English-speaking internet.

The first, and most common photo was a pair of images of Kumamon in front of a roaring bonfire.

The first asks “Why?” “For the glory of Satan, of course!” answers the second, with Kumamon joyfully flinging his arms into the air while a column of flame rises into the sky behind him.

The juxtaposition of the happy (but starkly-coloured) bear and

the roaring inferno seemed to take off. Both with and without the caption, it was replicated across Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, and probably half a dozen social media sites I’m already too old too know exist.

I’ve been seeing it pop up here and there for a couple of years, and it’s surprising how little crossover there is between Kumamon the happy regional spokesbear and Kumamon the meme.

Kumamon’s Wikipedia page has not a mention of the mascot’s other famous use, but quite a bit about his efforts to boost tourism to Kumamoto.

This kind of thing is happening constantly. There are a dozen fly-by-night memes generated ever day.

Dozens of people are immortalized forever through weird video clips or awkward yearbook photos, with hundreds competing to paste on the most clever/awful/relevant caption.

It was said back in the 20th century that in the future, everyone would be famous for 15 minutes.

In the 21st century, it’s starting to look more like everyone will become a meme for 15 seconds.

And some of us won’t even find out. Do you think the guy in the Kumamon suit knows he’s Satan’s tool on earth?

Warming industry cries wolf, again B.C. VIEWS Tom Fletcher When I was growing up in the Peace country in the 1970s, oldtimers used to say spring and fall last 10 minutes up there.

It happened again this spring, with a hot wind sweeping across the prairies to bring an abrupt end to winter. A rash of dry grass fires spread into at least one significant forest fire north of Fort St. John.

Many B.C. residents don’t appreciate that the northeast corner is on the other side of the Rockies.

It’s a different place economically, geologically and climatically.

You see sudden chinooks in winter, like the one that confused actor and climate alarmist Leonardo DiCaprio in Alberta.

You see snowfalls in August, dry spells, and temperatures plunging to –50. Premier Christy Clark happened to be in Fort St. John to speak at a rally calling for the federal government to approve liquefied natural gas export projects, soon after the fires broke out. She immediately claimed this as proof that forest fire seasons are starting earlier every year, a human-caused disaster that could be eased by selling gas to China to replace coal.

Last year’s forest fire season started early, and the now-familiar claims were made that it would be the worst, the hottest, etc. It also ended early and was nowhere near the worst, a point mentioned by nobody except me.

This spring’s early warm spell up north petered out within days.

Now the urban media can return to fretting about undetectable

earthquakes in the region of the province with the lowest seismic risk, until fires spring up again.

Forests Minister Steve Thomson and the B.C. Wildfire Service are more circumspect. There’s no way to predict rainfall this summer, and thus no brave forecast about “another” bad forest fire season. Professional staff emphasize that these northeast fires don’t predict anything.

We’re coming off an El Nino winter that has been punctuated by claims of ever-rising temperatures. This cyclical warm Pacific Ocean current swings next to La Nina, a cooling trend, but you won’t hear much about that.

We’ve just seen Prime Minister Justin Trudeau join other national leaders, jetting to New York City to formally sign the meaningless greenhouse gas deal they agreed to in Paris last year. It compels

them to keep on flying to meetings, and not much else. It defies parody.

Yes, the climate is changing, as it always has. Yes, we’re in a period of gradual warming, although the rise is nowhere near what the UN’s climate models predict.

According to the environment ministry’s 2015 “Indicators of Climate Change” report, B.C.’s average temperature has increased about 1.5 degrees from 1900 to 2013, slightly more in the north and less in the south.

That’s one one hundredth of a degree per year.

The B.C. report ritually attributes this to human-generated carbon dioxide, the only factor the UN climate bureaucracy recognizes. And here lies a key problem for the global warming industry.

greenhouse effect in the Earth’s atmosphere is from water vapour.

Antarctic ice core analysis shows that over 400,000 years, increasing carbon dioxide has lagged centuries behind temperature increase. This suggests that rising temperatures lead to increased CO2, not the other way around.

Conventional climate wisdom is that B.C. will see more total rainfall as temperatures warm.

This is a matter of significance to BC Hydro, which recently released its latest power supply and demand forecast.

I asked BC Hydro CEO Jessica McDonald at a recent briefing, what is the utility’s climate change factor in this forecast?

There isn’t one.

Letters Death on demand Just to clarify, in Canada when someone, especially someone young, takes their own life, we call this suicide and it is seen as a tragedy. When it happens or is attempted in large numbers, it is called a national emergency, as in Attawapiskat, Ontario, when, in the month of March, twenty-eight young people attempted to end their lives.

Our hearts ache for such sadness and hopelessness. Tribal councils immediately called for action to be taken to help restore hope and to provide reasons for youth to live and have a meaningful existence.

At this point, in Canada, taking your own life is bad.

When someone takes another person’s life, it is called murder and is punishable by ‘life’ imprisonment.

Now the Standing Committee on Justice and Human Rights is going to do an in-depth study on Bill C-14, the proposed

legislation on assisted suicide or doctorassisted death.

Someone (a doctor) taking someone’s life is not good from where I stand.

The Committee has this before them: Does Canada continue to open the door to death on demand?

If all of those teenagers in Attawapiskat had asked to be euthanized, what would prevent them from crying for the right to ‘die with dignity’ to end what seemed like an intolerable existence?

This is not unimaginable if the committee widens that opening.

Many of us imagine the scenario of mentally competent adults suffering terribly at the end of their lives, and reason that doctor assisted death could be the humane course of action — the ‘good’ thing.

But many of the voices crying out for change on this bill are saying that it is too restrictive, too ‘conservative’ and that it

should extend to children, those suffering from mental illness, or those who want to book their demise ahead of time.

This legislation will no longer be about ending pain in dying but ending the pain of those who find living intolerable.

How will this not communicate that some lives are less valuable than others?

What about the physically disabled? What about the mentally challenged? What about the elderly, the substance-addicted, the lonely?

Once open, the door will be impossible to close on cases that should never have been considered for ‘termination.'

Doctors and private hospitals, whether or not they agree with this ‘service,' will be forced to refer patients to someone who will do it, or they may face disciplinary measures.

Their own moral code and/or conscience, the very oath they took ‘to do no

harm’ is trampled upon. How is this not a violation of chartered rights?

Rather than legalizing the taking of a life, why don’t we facilitate improved palliative care, and proactive preventative measures?

If I saw someone on a bridge, about to jump off, I would not push him off but talk him down and assist and comfort him on his journey.

Dying is part of living. No one wants to suffer or see those we love do so. Easing the pain of death has to be the priority of our care systems.

But taking a life and opening the door to offering death in more and more situations that are subject to interpretation and susceptible to abuse is a huge mistake.

Doctor assisted suicide is bad.

Re: Sexual health clinics geared to youth In regard to the article "Sexual health clinics geared to youth" in the Apr. 21 edition of The Hope Standard.

At the youth walk in clinic that I run, it is for ANY medical concerns a youth may have. It is also a way for youth to get attached to a primary care provider if they don't have a doctor or feel unsure about seeing their family doctor.

So yes, I do provide free contraception, but that is not my primary reason for being there. Youth can come there for concerns about stress, acne, bladder infections, depression, fatigue, sports injury — anything you would go to a doctor

for. I can write most prescriptions, order tests, X-rays, ultrasounds and do referrals to specialists.

This way they don't have to wait for an appointment, they can just come to the walk-in clinic on Tuesday’s and they can see me. Also, I found out the stats: 12 per cent of Hope's youth have no one to see for regular medical care.

Regional Public Health Nurse (RPHN) Kim Roberts' clinic is more specifically sexual health but she also does harm reduction (smoking cessation, needle exchange) and general health assessments. Kim's clinic becomes a good place for

youth to get referred to child and youth mental health if they have mental health concerns. For example a young woman may go there wanting birth control and Kim will see she is needing more than just contraception.

Many of the youth she sees, end up coming to see me. The youth can learn about where to go for more help — for example, to see me for acne care or sleep issues, or to see a counselor for stress issues. In term of medications, Kim can only prescribe birth control.

Though he was beckoned back to his group, he chose to sit up front and look around. His eye caught the other grandma and it was easy to realize that he wanted to talk. He looked at her runners (yes — this grandma was wearing runners and very colourful ones at that!)

It was then we both realized that his language skills were very limited. He pointed to her shoes and uttered the sound “SH..., SH..., but grandma was not deterred, she followed his finger and said “shoes.” Oh my — that face lit up and the smile just got bigger. He

He then pointed to the big green badge he was wearing and I got up closer and had a look. “Oh you are going swimming”? I said.

He bounced up and down with joy and pointed to his red shirt, and then it all made sense. “You are going swimming to the Y. with your friends?”

The next stop was his and he cheered as he joined his group at the back door. As the door closed the bus seemed to lose something, almost as though the sun had gone behind a cloud.

I realized afterwards that what I had witnessed was a young man, living every single second to the fullest, and I am sure the grandma and myself felt privileged to have been able to share a few of his precious seconds. A gift beyond measure.

The Boomer generation, who grew up on fast food, now wants to have healthier lifestyles as they age and carrots are a hot commodity.

fulfill the need for success in growing one’s own food? The keys are knowing what types of food people want, promoting the best varieties and educating folks on how they can be grown easily, successfully and in a container. Progress is being made on all these fronts.

Take lettuce for an example. The consumption of romaine types of lettuce has grown because of the popularity of caesar salads, as have gourmet and mesclun blends because they fit into the category of new foods and flavours. I am impressed with the Pan American introductions of the ‘Simply Salad’ blends of lettuce. They offer an ‘Alfresco Mix’, a ‘Global Gourmet Mix’ and a ‘City Garden Mix’, each one creating a salad blend by itself.

These blends are easy to grow in a container, look fabulous and taste divine. Peppers are another example. The trend is towards hot peppers that fit cultural cuisines. The innovation of crossover peppers, like ‘Basket of Fire’, ‘Loco’ and ‘Chenzo’, are easy to grow both in containers or as garden varieties that produce early and with a beautiful display of hot peppers that can be harvested over a long period of time. Part of the new focus for bell peppers is for smaller and ‘stuffable’ varieties.

Tomatoes round out the big three vegetables with several innovations. The first is easy-to-

grow varieties like ‘Tumbler’, ‘Tumbling Tom’, ‘Tumbling Tiger’ and ‘Sweet ‘n’ Neat’ that produce early and over a long period of time in containers or hanging baskets, and they have pretty good flavour too. Secondly, there are lots of innovations to fit special culinary uses with varieties like ‘Fresh Salsa’ and ‘Baby Red Roma’.

Colour is very important as well and varieties like ‘Sun Gold’ and ‘Sun Sugar’ will spice up any salad.

The folks at Burpee have collected the ‘healthy’ vegetables into a series called ‘Boost’. For example, ‘Gold Standard’ cucumbers contain 500 per cent more betacarotene than any other variety.

‘Healing Hands Salad Mix’ has 20 per cent more lutein, 30 per cent more beta-carotene, 30 per cent more carotenoids, and 70 per cent more anthocyanins – now that’s just plain healthy!

‘Power Pop’ tomatoes contain 55 per cent more lycopene and 40 per more carotenoids. What a great way to enjoy the healthy benefits of growing your own food. Choosing the best plants is just 50 per cent of the job. Using the best soils, nutrients and organic pest control products are the other half of the success story. It’s the beginning of a brand new growing season, so make plans to enjoy your own home-grown fresh foods this year.

About five years ago, ‘vegetable gardening’ exploded into the more encompassing ‘food gardening’ trend, and it’s never looked back. It happened quite suddenly for several reasons which all seemed to connect at the same time.

Young folks, in particular, were shocked that people could die from eating mass-produced foods, as happened during the outbreak of E. coli on spinach. The sense of having some control over the quality and safety of the food we eat, especially for our children, suddenly became far more important. At the same time, the obesity issue, particularly among young children, began to be addressed by schools where healthier foods started to replace sodas and chips.

The Boomer generation, who grew up on fast food, now wants to have healthier lifestyles as they age. Folks in this demographic are driving the health food market, and nutritious foods with high levels of antioxidants top their list.

The weak economy has also nudged many folks to grow some of their own foods as a cost-saving measure. Growing a food garden provides a significant saving, especially if some of the produce is frozen or preserved.

Many young people today are quite the ‘foodies’. They embrace the Food Channel, love Asian, South American and other cultural cuisines and want to grow some of these foods themselves.

These folks are also very concerned about the environment and strongly support locallygrown foods that are organically grown and free of harmful pesticide residues. They also embrace heirloom varieties and are very much about flavour and nutrition.

There are, however, challenges such as high density living with little or no space for gardens in sunny locations and the enormous lack of knowledge about how to grow plants. Our urbanized Canadian society is now two generations removed from the rural land, and food-growing skills are rare. How then do we as an industry help

Seismic coverage According to the most recent data on consumer attitudes toward earthquake risk, more than two-thirds of British Columbians don’t have earthquake insurance—or don’t know if they do.

The findings, from a 2014 poll commissioned by the Insurance Bureau of Canada, are concerning given that 60 per cent of British Columbians live in a region where some of the largest earthquakes occur. Coastal British Columbia is part of what seismologists call the “ring of fire,” a string of volcanoes and sites of seismic

activity that line around the edges of the Pacific Ocean.

Of those polled, 70 per cent said they have never considered buying specific earthquake coverage mainly because they don’t think an earthquake will ever strike their area.

Nearly half of those polled believe the government will provide financial assistance for earthquake-related damages.

“We often see government relief efforts in the event of a natural disasters, so it makes sense that people would ex-

pect the same for property damage due to earthquake,” says Elaine Elson, insurance services manager at Envision Insurance, a division of First West Insurance Services. “But if you’re living in an area where earthquake insurance is available, you will not qualify for financial aid in the event of an earthquake.”

Elson says that damage as a result of shaking is generally not covered by a standard homeowner’s policy.

“Coverage of this type is generally purchased as a separate endorsement on a

policy. If your policy covers fire damage caused by an earthquake, don’t assume you are also covered for structural damage as a result of shaking.”

She advises homeowners to make sure they know exactly what they’re covered for and if unsure, they should contact their local insurance broker for help.

Envision Financial is a premier provider of banking, investment and insurance services for residents and businesses throughout the Fraser Valley, Lower Mainland and Kitimat regions.

For more than four years, we’ve worked together with our neighbours and local communities to hear what they have to say about our proposed pipeline expansion.

By listening closely and having an open dialogue, we’ve been able to create a stronger, safer and more responsive project. We are working to meet all the requirements of the regulators, as well as consulting with communities, Indigenous people, government agencies and municipalities – and we’ll continue to work with them throughout development, construction and operations. We know how critical it is to get this right. Most importantly, we’re acting on what we hear with significant changes to the Project.

How feedback has resulted in a stronger, safer and better project: •

A $100 million investment in the West Coast Marine Response Corporation (WCMRC) for marine safety enhancements.

•

Community Inaugural graduates of First Nations mental health Sam Bates Black Press

Nine graduates were honoured with certificates and celebration on Apr. 20.

But these graduates were the first of their kind.

The men and women were graduating from the Strengthening Families Together: First Nation edition program held at Shxwha:y Village Hall in Chilliwack.

The ten-week program is a B.C. Schizophrenia Society (BCSS) initiative that provides information, tools and support to family members and friends of individuals who have a serious and persistent mental illness.

This pilot First Nations edition began in February, and it was designed to better reflect and assist the Aboriginal population in the Fraser Valley.

“We wanted to make the program adaptable and flexible for all communities,” said Cindy Savage, provincial project coordinator with BCSS. “This is a great milestone in the project.”

The three trained Aboriginal facilitators – Sherylynn Crispin, Phyllis Vanderheide and Glen Malloway – relate to the participants using their own experiences of caring for a loved one or working with individuals with mental illness.

Like all BCSS programming, the Strengthening Families Together (SFT) program is familyoriented.

It provides an opportunity for families to discuss the daily challenges they face with others who understand; to receive reliable information about mental illness, treatment options and available services; and learn about tools for effective problem solving, coping, advocacy and communication.

As the facilitators spent Wednesday evenings with this dedicated group of people, they transformed each week’s topics into meaningful and powerful conversations.

Sharing knowledge from her own family’s experience with schizophrenia, facilitator Crispin revealed that the process of diagnosis and treatment is relatively straightforward, compared to the social hurdles.

Being labelled differently and treated

as such is a challenge that many face when it comes to mental illness, but a heightened awareness is changing the conversation.

Facilitator Vanderhe-

ide stressed the importance of self-care. She drew comparison to the airline message that instructs fliers to apply their own oxygen mask before helping others.

“If you don’t look after yourself first, you won’t be able to look after others effectively,” she explained.

Working in the mental health field for many

years, often with highrisk youth and adults with undiagnosed mental illnesses, facilitator Malloway was able to teach participants how to communicate with

someone with a serious mental illness, and how that connection – rather than avoidance – might help the individual.

“It’s a First Nations way just to help one

another. That’s what we do,” he said. And by becoming educated through programs like SFT, participants are able to share that cycle of knowledge with others.”

It’s finally Spring.

The days are getting longer, the air carries a sweet fragrance and the ice has receded from the lakes.

It’s a time when millions of Canadians finally get back their favourite pastime and head out on the water in their boats.

The Canadian Safe Boating Council wants to remind Canadians to take a few extra precautions to guard against the dangers of a fall into Cold Water.

Many people think that a fall into the water is no big deal. They can climb back onto the dock or swim the short distance to shore, or they can right their overturned boat and get back in. If the boat can’t be righted, they can put on their lifejacket and hold onto the boat until help arrives. The reality is when dealing with cold water those goals often can’t be reached.

It’s hard to imagine what happens should you unexpectedly find yourself in cold water. Dr. Gordon Giesbrecht, Professor of Thermophysiology at the University of Manitoba, has experienced first-hand the effects of cold water.

He developed what he calls the 1-10-1 Principle to help you understand how your body will react.

You will have one minute to get your breathing under control, as there is an initial gasp response followed by extreme hyperventilation.

Ten minutes of meaningful movement before the muscles in your extremities lose

their effectiveness, and up to one hour before you lose consciousness due to hypothermia.

If you’re not wearing a lifejacket and survive the initial shock and gasp, you have very little time before yourarms and legs begin to stop functioning, preventing you from staying afloat.

Studies have shown that our bodies lose heat approximately 25 times faster in water than in air of the same temperature. If you are wearing thermal protection such as a neoprene wetsuit, paddling dry suit or a floater coat/suit, it will help keep you warmer

for a greater length of time.

Should your boat capsize and you find yourself in the water, try to reduce the rate of heat loss by climbing onto the overturned hull or any other floating object such as a cooler.

If none are immediately available, remain as motionless as possible to allow your skin to warm a thin layer of water around your body. Thrashing in the water not only disturbs this layer of warmer water but also accelerates heat loss.

If you are alone, tuck your legs and fold your arms across your chest

in the HELP (Heat Escape Lessening Position) to protect your vital organs. If you are with others, huddle together interlacing your arms and legs and pressing your torsos together to preserve body heat.

One of the big questions is whether to stay with the boat or swim to shore.

You should only consider swimming for shore if you are wearing a lifejacket, your chances for rescue are very slim and the distance to shore is manageable. (Be aware that the effort involved in swimming will increase heat loss and adversely affect muscle

movement.)

Keeping these considerations in mind and taking proactive steps to protect against the dangers of a fall into cold water will go far towards making your boating activities safer and more enjoyable. Remember that in Canada, many of our larger bodies of water remain cold throughout the summer months.

Whether you use a power boat, sailboat, personal watercraft, canoe, kayak or fishing boat, find more information on a variety of boating safety tips by visiting the Canadian Safe Boating Canada’s website at www.csbc.ca

Pilot program Tom Fletcher Black Press

A pilot program in the Kootenays is testing roadside wildlife detectors to prevent collisions by warning drivers of approaching elk and deer.

Large animals approaching the roadway at two locations on Highway 3 will trigger flashing warning signs for drivers. The systems are set up near Elko and Sparwood. The transportation ministry estimates that one in 25 crashes in B.C. are wildlife collisions, and has used fencing, underpasses and overpasses as well as static signs to avoid collisions for high-risk sections of highway.

The electronic signs use radar and thermal cameras to detect animals, and software developed in B.C.

Return of the Harrison Arts Festival

The Harrison Festival Society recently announced the lineup for its 38th Harrison Festival of the Arts.

After the last six to eight months of travelling to conferences, writing grant proposals, preparing promotional materials, seeking sponsors, partners, and donors, and attending to the kind of day-to-day problems and details that come up in an arts organization, the society revealed what they have in store for the event that is the central purpose of the Harrison Festival Society.

“This year I would like to highlight two themes that run through our programming: discovery and re-working tradition,” said Andy Hillhouse, executive and artistic director of the organization. “These themes are there in some form every year of course but seem particularly relevant this year.”

Roots festivals in general are about personal artistic discoveries, and about hoping to find that particular performer you’ve never heard of with whom you resonate, he added.

“There will be many performers coming who were new to me in the last year or two, and who I am excited to get the chance to bring to Harrison,” Hillhouse said.

The Young’uns is a male vocal trio from England that sings songs about life in their corner of England, either a cappella or with minimal instrumentation, and with often hilarious banter in between songs.

Another international vocal act the festival will be presenting on the beach is the Cuban a cappella group Novel Voz, who perform a variety of styles including Cuban son and American swing.

“This year I encountered the sizzling Canadian electric blues guitarist Cecile Doo-Kingue for the first time over a total of three performances in the last 6 months,” said Hillhouse.

She comes with her power trio and will perform in a sizzling blues extravaganza double bill with Toronto’s 24th Street Wailers on July 13.

Also from Montreal, Haitian born Vox Sambou has been busy establishing a reputation across the country and abroad as a captivating live performer with a strong social conscience.

In his day-to-day life

SUBMITTED PHOTO

The Good Lovelies, a popular female vocal trio from Toronto, will be in Harrison on the heels of their latest CD

he runs a youth centre in one of Montreal’s most socially challenged areas, and his music shifts from rap to reggae, afrobeat, and traditional Haitian rhythms within a set.

The dynamic Brazilian performer Flavia Nascimento comes with her quintet, and with her huge smile, playful energy, and repertoire of Northeastern Brazilian music she will motivate dancing on the beach and, in addition, bring her clowning skills to Children’s Day. The society also presents Yemen Blues, from Israel. This is funky, groove oriented middle eastern music that combines traditional Yemenite singing style with west African grooves, blues-funk, and other Afro styles.

There are some returning favourites to the festival as well.

The ever-loved 24th St. Wailers join another popular favourite, The Paperboys, who last played in Harrison Memorial Hall five years ago, and who will get the crowd on their feet in the hall on Saturday July 16.

Elage Diouf, originally from Senegal, was at the festival several years ago as part of the brothers Diouf. He is now a widely recognized performer on the Quebec world music scene. David Francey, who over the past 15 years or so has steadily risen to the level of Canadian folk music icon, is coming to the hall on Sunday July 10, following on a successful performance on the beach two years ago that had the office flooded for ticket requests, despite it being a free event, according to Hillhouse.

“As we are a roots music festival, the idea of re-working tradition is a mainstay from year to year, even if we don’t always foreground it,” he said. “This year, I am featuring some performers

who have made a special effort to research traditional music in archives and old recordings, and who have re-interpreted the music they discover in their own distinct ways.”

Richmond BC born Norah Rendell, now a resident of Minneapolis, reinterprets rarely heard Canadian traditional songs that she has researched, backed by the delicate string arrangements of the Back Forty.

Another locally based group now making waves across the continent is the brother and sister team Qristina and Quinn Bachand.

“Guitarist Quinn is a true prodigy who I have known as a masterful guitarist since he was about 11 years old, and who now at the ripe old age of 20 is a force to behold,” Hillhouse said.

“The duo’s latest album Little Hinges is based firmly on the idea of tradition and innovation.”

Originally from Bowen Island and now residing in Toronto, Sarah Jane Scouten will be at the festival with her band the Honky Tonk Wingmen to sing her retro folk songs and to delve into her repertoire of B.C. folk songs from the collection of the late B.C. folklorist and collector Phil Thomas.

Singer Melisande presents a contemporary spin on traditional Quebecois song, dubbing her style electrotrad.

While her performance is fresh, fun, and engaging, she digs deep for her source material and honours the traditional singers whose recordings she draws from.

The Estonian group Trad. Attack! has a similar blend of reverence for the old mixed with a contemporary sensibility and a dynamic performance style, combining bagpipes, flutes, and sampling of field recordings with drums and driving

rhythm guitar.

The Ragpicker String Band digs into the vast repertoire of acoustic blues from the interwar period and unearths some great gems of that genre.

Hannah Shira Naiman is a young banjo player steeped in Southern old time music, who writes new songs faithful to that tradition.

Finally, banjoist Jayme Stone’s Lomax Project will come to the Memorial Hall on Friday July 15.

Stone has been to Harrison before, but this particular collaboration is getting him wider acclaim than ever, earning him a Grammy nomination and five star reviews in the Boston Globe and other major publications.

He has dug into the archives and recordings of folklorist Alan Lomax and has assembled a talented bunch of North American bluegrass, old time, and folk musicians including Californiabased singer Moira Smiley to perform them.

Moira was last in the village in 2014 with her vocal group VOCO. “This year we have some strong, young indigenous Canadian and Hawaiian talent,” Hillhouse said, continuing down the list. “IsKwe is an indie R and B Anishanaabe performer from Manitoba who has grown by leaps and bounds as a songwriter and performer since first emerging on the scene just a few years ago, and is now a confident and uniquely compelling singer with a powerful classically trained voice.”

Shauit is an Innu reggae artist from northern Quebec who combines roots reggae and dancehall grooves with lyrics in his native Innu language.

From Hawa’ii, Kaumakaiwa Kanaka’ole is steeped in the ancestral spiritual and cultural traditions of her ancestors, and honours this heritage through contemporary songwriting and an unusually powerful singing style.

“While we bring acts from far afield, we also continue to support the finest local BC talent,” said Hillhouse.

Both Saturdays in the hall will feature two of Vancouver’s most popular feel-good festival acts.

Opening on July 9 is The Boom Booms from East Vancouver, and The Paperboys are playing the following Saturday.

The Boom Booms are

just releasing their third album this Spring, and have developed a large local following for their good vibe and soulful music influenced by styles as diverse as Al Green, Brazilian samba, and reggae.

Keith Bennett and David Sinclair are two Vancouver music veterans who have each appeared on numerous recordings and tours, from Sarah McLachlan to the Vancouver Symphony Orchestra, and David Boxcar Gates is a fine acoustic blues player from Vancouver specializing in Delta and Piedmont blues styles.

The closing evening of the festival at the hall on July 17 will feature The Good Lovelies, a popular female vocal trio from Toronto who are touring on the heels of their latest CD and will appeal to fans of acts like The Be Good Tanyas or the Wailin’ Jennies.

Moving on from the beach and evening hall shows, the festival will continue with the multidisciplinary aspects it is known for.

The Literary Café this year will have a South Asian theme, with literature readings by authors of South Asian heritage and a musical performance by a Rajasthani folk group, Rajasthan Josh, who is in B.C. for the Indian Summer Festival in Vancouver.

The visual arts are on display in the festival’s annual art market that stretches along the waterfront, and by a display in the Ranger Station featuring a group show of work in various media inspired by a trip undertaken by the artists down the Yukon river as part of the Canadian Wilderness Residency Program.

The organization will continue their tradition of collaborating with the University of the Fraser Valley (UFV) for theatre night as well. Children’s Day will continue under the direction of Janet Hutchinson, who has some fresh ideas this year, and will include storytelling, a theatre tent, crafts, performances by Charlotte Diamond, Hannah Shira Naiman, and Flavia Nascimento, and other favourite activities including the popular climbing wall.

The 38th annual Harrison Festival of the Arts runs from July 9 to 17 this year. For more information, visit www.harrisonfestival.com.
