Astronaut thrills kidsSalmon Arm West: Chris Hadfield answers students’ questions via Skype.
Innovative canadian astronaut chris Had-field has spoken to one of the widest audiences possible – the planet earth – but he narrowed that focus considerably last Thursday.
Hadfield, former commander of the In-ternational Space Sta-tion and well-known for his down-to-earth space talks and Tweets, agreed to a Skype meet-ing with teacher Holly Kallie’s Grade 4/5 class at Salmon Arm West el-ementary school.
This was thanks to Kallie’s enthusiasm about space as well as the help of Salmon Arm resident Bruce Ai-kenhead, former aero-space engineer who
was director-general of the canadian Astronaut Program and instru-mental in such projects as the Avro Arrow and the nASA space shut-tle’s canadarm.
With his characteris-tic affable style, Had-
field answered the first question posed to him by explaining he had brought along a hel-met simulator – and popped a lampshade

District cancels recess due to job action
JAMES MurrAy/OBSeRVeR
School district #83 students will return to class today to the news that they won’t have a recess break, but will be getting out of school 15 minutes early.
due to job action by the Bc Teachers Fed-
eration, teachers will be initiating phase one of strike action which includes withdrawing supervision duties.
School district #83 superintendent Glenn Borthistle says to en-sure student safety without teacher super-vision, the school dis-trict made a decision
to cancel recess for elementary and middle school students.
High school students do not have scheduled recess breaks and won’t be affected.
Students will be dis-missed from class 15 minutes earlier and bus

next to him onto his head.
This brought gales of laughter from his ex-cited audience.
The question student Emily Thomas had asked was, although she knows it wouldn’t be possible to breathe if astronauts took off their helmets, does space have a smell?
Hadfield explained that after they go out-side for a space walk, astronauts return to a room where a valve is opened, letting in the air from the space sta-tion. It’s there, between the space ship and space, “when you can smell sort of the linger-ing smell of space.”
He said it smells like a trace of gun powder or cordite, something you might smell if you were to go to a police shooting range. Or if you were cooking on a barbecue, “maybe a wisp of something caught on the coals, a sharp, lingering smell.”
Other questions the students had prepared included: • Are you able to tell what sea-son it is in a country from space? • While you were on the Inter-national Space Station, was it ever hit with meteorites? • What’s the most amazing thing that humans can do in space? • Was there anything in space you weren’t prepared for? • Would you ever want to
go to the Earth’s low-est point, the Mariana Trench? • What do you think is your most sig-nificant contribution to Canada so far?
Hadfield said be-cause he was on the space station for half a year, he went halfway around the sun, so was able to see all the sea-sons change around the world.
The space station was, indeed, hit by meteorites, he said –constantly. It has al-most “an umbrella of armour” on it, however.
“The meteorites are going 30 kilometres a second. As soon as they hit the umbrella, they vaporize. It’s like a bug hitting your wind-shield.”
He added that the Earth gets hit by about 100 tons of meteorites every day, but most burn up in the atmo-sphere. He also said that’s where the world came from – planets are formed by pulling in hundreds of tons of meteorites.
Hadfield said his ex-perience and training prior to heading into space meant there was nothing he wasn’t pre-pared for.
“Nothing that was a complete surprise, more like a puzzle we had to solve.”
The most amazing thing humans do in space, Hadfield said, is they’ve moved to space, they’re living there, and have done so for the past 13-and-a-
half years. “To me that’s a really
big step,” he said, tell-ing Tristan Wood who asked the question, that, he, too, has the op-portunity to live on the space station. “You as a Canadian.”
Hadfield answered all the questions with kindness and support for the children, en-couraging them to pur-sue their own dreams.
When student Dylan Bland asked if Hadfield has ever wanted to go the Mariana Trench, Earth’s lowest spot, Hadfield said he would love to go down as far as James Cameron did.
“You have to decide what you want to do, Dylan, where you want
to stretch your mind and your life…”
Asked about his most significant contribution to Canada, Hadfield said he thinks it was be-ing one of the first Ca-nadians to fly in space,
doing things that hadn’t been done before.
“Opening the door to people like you, Brayden,” he said to student Brayden Priebe who asked the ques-tion.
“I think one of the best ways to be signifi-cant is to open doors for other people… Now because you’ve done it, other people can do it more easily.”
Afterwards, the stu-dents expressed their delight with Hadfield’s visit.
“He was really fun-
ny, he was nice. I can’t believe he’d do it with a small school like us,” said Emily Thomas.
“I’m thinking about space more now,” said Rod May.
“I think it was a once-in-a-lifetime opportu-nity…,” said Ethan El-som. “We’ll remember it over and over again.”

A Salmon Arm man charged after being linked to the November 2008 murder of Tyler Myers has had the case against him dropped by the Crown.
Justin James Doussept, 22, was accused of ac-cessory after the fact to murder and obstructing justice related to the death of Myers, whose body was found on a trail adjacent to Bastion Elemen-tary School.
Twenty two-year-old Myers was shot on a trail adjacent to the school yard.
Doussept was scheduled to appear in Salmon Arm Court on April 17, but at that time, the charg-es against Doussept were stayed.
Doussept was the only person named in con-nection with the case, as he was an adult at the time the alleged offence was to have taken place.
A man and woman are facing first-degree mur-der charges in connection with Myers’ death, but they cannot be identified because they were juve-niles at the time of the killing.
The pair were arrested in 2012, with police say-ing they believe it was a planned murder.
The male suspect recently appealed a decision to deny his bail application; however, the appeal was not granted and he remains in custody pend-ing a trial.
The female suspect was released on bail and is living in Salmon Arm under a series of court-imposed conditions.
A hearing to set a trial date is scheduled for May 28.
Headed for hospitalA BC Air Ambulance emergency transport was required for a woman who attempted to cross the Trans-Canada Highway on April 16 and was hit by an oncoming car on the highway at 50th Street SW. Witnesses told RCMP the woman walked into the path of traffic. The woman sustained severe injuries and was taken to Royal Inland Hospital for treatment. Information about her condition is not being released.

Maureen Mosie, 33, was last seen in Salmon Arm in 1981 and was later found murdered in Kamloops.
Her killer has never been found.
RCMP are hop-ing some additional public attention to the case might bring new information to light to help find and arrest her killer.
Mosie lived in Ed-son, Alta., but was last seen alive in Salmon
Arm apparently hitch-hiking on May 8, 1981. The next day her body
was located south of the intersection of High-way 97 and the Trans-Canada Highway.
Multiple tracks were found in the area, but one set in particular is believed to belong to the killer.
A witness helped po-lice create a sketch of Mosie getting into a car in Salmon Arm a day before her body was discovered. The man in the car was described as late 20s or early 30s
with black or brown hair and a beard.
At the time of her death, Mosie was wear-ing beaded moccasins and she was carrying a tan-coloured canvas handbag.
If you know any de-tails about this case or remember seeing Mosie in 1981, call po-lice.

Boy’s 911 call prompts rescue effort
It was not the ending that Shuswap Search and Rescue members were hoping for.
The team was called out Saturday afternoon in response to a 911 call from a 10-year-old boy who reported he and his grandfather were snowmobiling in the Fly Hills area, when the grandfather suffered
a medical emergency and was unconscious. Four Shuswap Search and Rescue (SAR) members responded including search man-ager Rob Udy, who brought in the team’s rapid response base RV unit, and volunteers Gordon Bose, Michael Thomson and Hiapo Poirier who participat-ed in the effort, taking their snowmobiles into the site.
An air ambulance was also dispatched to the scene. Due to the terrain, the helicopter had to land some dis-tance away; however, paramedics were able to hike in to the scene.
When the paramed-ics and SAR members arrived, the grandfather was deceased.
“It was really sad for the boy, it’s a pretty traumatic experience,” says John Schut of
Shuswap Search and Rescue.
SAR members were then able to escort the boy’s father to the scene to pick up his son, as well as RCMP officers and the coro-ner.
RCMP are conduct-ing an investigation; however, there is no indication of anything suspicious.
A cause of death is still to be determined.

schedules will be ad-justed accordingly.
All schools will con-tinue to be open with regular classes operat-ing during this phase of job action and in-struction will proceed as usual. Buses will be running their normal routes.
Borthistle says school-based admin-
istrators will be as-sisted by district-based administration, man-agement and staff to provide before- and af-ter-school supervision.
“It is our information that teachers will con-tinue to participate in voluntary extracurricu-lar activities they are currently involved in,” he added.
Negotiations be-tween the BCTF and the government are
continuing, and union representatives say a decision to move to phase two of the job action will depend on progress at the bargain-ing table. Phase two would involve one-day rotating strikes. Should the situation escalate to a point where a full walk out is being con-sidered, another vote of the teachers union members would be nec-essary.

A Shuswap Indian Band chief said the B.C. Liberal govern-ment’s embarrassing about-face on remov-ing ski resorts and nearly all natural-gas plants from environ-mental review is an-other example of its failure on environmen-tal issues.
Late Wednesday, April 17, B.C. Min-ister of Environment Mary Polak said her government would re-scind orders-in-council exempting destination resorts and the major-ity of gas plants from review by the environ-mental assessment of-� ce.
The changes were done quietly and with-out consultation, an-gering First Nations and environmental groups.
“Our government is committed to a strong, respectful and produc-tive relationship with First Nations,” Polak said in a statement.
“That’s why we will rescind the amend-ment that would have removed the require-ment for an environ-mental assessment for sweet-gas facilities and destination resorts, un-til we have undertaken discussions with First Nations.”
Neskonlith Indian Band Chief Judy Wil-son said the move so
angered chiefs meet-ing during a summit on liquid-natural gas that they kicked out provin-cial representatives.
Wilson is part of the executive of the B.C. Union of Indian Chiefs.
“They said it really jeopardized discus-sions with First Na-tions on LNG,” she said.
NDP Leader Adrian Dix called the � ip-� op “not just embarrassing, but incompetent.
“And it’s the pre-mier’s personal incom-petence here.”
Dix said the failed removal of ski resorts and gas plants from review was an attempt to do a backroom deal
with industry.“You can make these
kind of deals in a back-room, which the pre-mier wants to do, and not defend them pub-licly.”
Wilson said the epi-sode is the latest in a number of failures by both government and industry to properly consult with First Na-tions, something it is legally required to do.
She noted a recent announcement by Sun Peaks Resort it will ex-pand its skiing area this winter was done with-out consultation.
The Neskonlith and Adams Lake Indian bands have long op-posed development of the ski resort and cre-ation of a resort mu-nicipality.
“We’re looking at what the resort is talk-ing about,” she said.
“We haven’t been consulted on further expansion... People wonder why there’s tension there. Proper processes aren’t being followed.”
Wilson also said government acknowl-edged several years ago bands were not consulted when the ski resort was taken over by a Japanese corpora-tion and expanded to a modern operation with real estate develop-ment in the mid-1990s.

For Diana Altschul, the issue of small me-dicinal marijuana grow-ers possibly being shut down is not a theoreti-cal one – it’s one that would affect her life in a big way.
Altschul acquired a licence to grow mari-juana in 2008, when her spouse was dealing with the effects of can-cer and she was living with chronic pain from a hit and run that broke her back and shattered her foot.
The licence was re-newed each year and, after her partner died and she had to move to low-cost housing, it was transferred to a desig-nated grower.
“To legitimately find a legitimate honourable person to cultivate your number of plants is very hard to come by,” she says, noting she grew about 25 plants per year that produced about four pounds of pot.
“I make a lot of it into a butter; it’s quite eco-nomical,” Altschul says, noting it allows her to eat, sleep and fight de-pression.
“I am a certified herb-alist, I didn’t want to associate with the black market,” she says, not-ing that she had devel-oped designer strains to knock out chronic pain and nausea, and was working on depression.
Altschul competed
in the 2013 Launch-A-Preneur program where her plan for a business, Trans-Herbalcooks, which would produce hemp and cannabis products for medici-nal uses, earned fourth place out of 17 teams.
“I have tried to cul-tivate my own medical cannabis because it’s so beneficial to me. I’m resentful and tak-ing this quite person-ally,” she said in March of the federal govern-ment’s new Marihuana for Medical Purposes Regulations, initially set to come into effect April 1, that would have allowed only large commercial operations, and no personal-use production licences, to grow medicinal mari-juana. Small growers who didn’t destroy their plants and seeds and dismantle their grow-ops would be breaking the law.
Since then there has been an about-face, due to a legal challenge to the regulation. A Fed-eral Court judge ruled on March 21 that any-one already licensed to grow marijuana may continue to do so, until a legal challenge goes to trial. Altschul is part of that class-action suit.
Altschul noticed room for improvement in the application pro-cess from day one.
She thinks small growers of medicinal pot should have been required to have the au-thorization of a special-ist, not simply a general practitioner, before be-ing provided a licence, a stipulation she believes would have eliminated those who were doing it for monetary gain.
“That would have ruled out a lot of the gangs and criminal ele-ment… That’s what ru-ined it,” she says.
She’s concerned she won’t be able to afford marijuana produced by large operations.
When the Observer asked Health Canada about the proposed change to allow only large growers, a return email stated that the previous system was open to abuse.
“The risks of diver-sion to the illegal mar-ket will be significantly reduced,” it stated, add-ing that mould and elec-trical hazards would also decrease.
It emphasized that Health Canada doesn’t support marijuana as medicine.
“Marijuana has not gone through the scien-tific and safety review process required for pharmaceutical drugs. Smoking marijuana has not been approved or endorsed by Health Canada as a medical treatment.”
Pot growers in limboMedicinal marijuana: New federal regs challenged.
Economical remedy: Diana Altschul is fighting for the ability to produce the herb which she says makes her life more bearable.

Editorial
It’s about time we put a price on fires. The Shuswap has been inundated over the past
few weeks with citizens who are all too pleased to be getting out the matches and gas cans in an effort to clean up their properties by burning grass or other wood and garden waste. Unfortunately, some of these people have also conducted these fires without having the proper equipment on site or taking the proper precautions. And that has ended up in calls to 911 when the fires get out of control.
This results in dispatching fire trucks and emer-gency personnel, many of whom operate on a volunteer basis and must take time away from their regular jobs, to head out to extinguish a blaze that was primarily caused by a lack of common sense.
Proponents of open burning argue that alterna-tive costs of getting rid of organic waste are pro-
hibitive, even though residential garden waste can be taken to the landfill and disposed of for free at certain times of the year. Yes, there can be a cost to getting rid of this waste, but it’s high time there be a cost to burn waste as well.
If someone requires an emergency call out due to an out-of-control bonfire or grass burn, that prop-erty owner should be forced to pony up the costs of the fire call. Maybe citizens would think twice about taking the proper precautions if they knew a bill would be coming directly back to them. Maybe it might make people think twice about burning willy-nilly at all, and instead look at options other than burning, which can cause air quality concerns for many Shuswap residents.
If you burn, you should be prepared to take financial responsibility for your actions.
Time to put a price on open burning
Aren’t there other options?Listening to David Black speak in Kelowna this week, it was
hard not to get behind his idea of a made-in-B.C. oil refinery that would create thousands of jobs for the hard-done-by communities of Kitimat and Terrace, sparking the B.C. economy and bringing in millions, if not billions of dollars from China.
Black, who owns this newspaper and hundreds of others in communities around B.C., spoke about the differences between refined oil and crude oil. He said refined oil and its products of gas, and diesel, would evaporate in an ocean spill, while crude oil would sink and damage coastal ecosystems beyond repair.
He spoke of the money ($32 billion) that it would cost to build a refinery and its related pipeline and the tanker fleet needed to ship the oil to China. He said if we don’t build a refinery, China will, adding his refinery would use Canadian technology and would produce half the greenhouse gasses as a Chinese-built refinery.
He said China will loan us all of the money to build our made-in-B.C. refinery and the workers there would make great wages, as much as $80,000 to $90,000 a year and our kids wouldn’t have to go to the tar sands in Alberta to make big money. He said so much money would be coming in, the loans from China would be paid back in as little as six years. And he spoke of building such a refinery for B.C. as a newspaperman, as opposed to one of the major oil companies – conglomerates without B.C. ownership and little care for our environment. A made-in-BC solution, he said, is much better. And to that end, I agree.
But what he didn’t mention were any of the impacts of con-tinuing to rely on an oil-based economy. There was no mention of global warming and its disastrous effects on the world. There was no talk about alternative energies or a need to find new ways of doing things. The choice that Black laid out to a pro-business crowd at the Kelowna chamber (you could hear the ‘wows’) came down to two things: Oil or oil.
But is it the only way to go? The answer is no.There are other options. There are innovative ideas, new ways
of moving forward, new technologies that can take us away from the oil-based economy the United Nation’s top scientist are warn-ing against. Canada should be leading the way in this regard, not following the all-powerful dollar.
Our reliance on oil and the dangerous emissions it puts into the air have put us on a collision course with disaster.
As a newspaper reporter in Black’s stable of papers, it’s my duty to ask questions, raise concerns and let the public decide for themselves. I believe in this paper and its ability to tell people’s stories and provide more depth to the news than what is currently being generated in this age of what could be called surface-jour-nalism. And there are no bigger, no more important questions that need to be raised: Is this the way to go? Can we stop global warm-ing? Can we stand up and make a difference?
The answers aren’t as easy to find. But we all need to start ask-ing these questions.

The oil industry wants to export Alberta bitu-men to Asia via tankers. Under no circumstanc-es should we allow that to happen. A bitumen spill at sea could destroy our coastline, together with the fish and wildlife that depend on it, for hundreds of years.
Bitumen, even if it is diluted, does not float in sea water if there is sediment present. This has been proven many times, most recently in a thorough Environment Canada study published on Nov, 30 2013. Page 51 of the study provides graphic evidence of sunken bitumen. Given that there is an abundance of sediment along the B.C. coast, the bitumen will sink rapidly and there will be little chance of recovering any of it if there is a spill. By Northern Gateway’s own admission, the likelihood of a bitumen spill at sea is over 10 per cent over the next 50 years. Others say that it is much higher. We are in agreement with the position taken by the Coastal First Nations that even the slightest risk of a spill of bitumen at sea is unacceptable.
The grounding of the Exxon Valdez in Alas-ka in 1989 is often held up as an example of how bad an oil spill at sea can be. However, a spill of bitumen at sea would be much worse. The Exxon Valdez carried light crude and lost 250,000 barrels, one eighth of a tanker load. The light oil floated and could be removed from the beaches. Even so, after four years of work with up to 11,000 workers and 1,400 boats in-volved, less than 10 per cent of it was recov-ered. Roughly 200,000 birds and many kinds of other wildlife were killed. Approximately 1,300 miles of shoreline were affected and the fishery has yet to fully recover. Bitumen is very different. It would harden up on shore and much of it would sink to the bottom, making it
unrecoverable and killing virtually everything with which it came in contact. Imagine if we lost a full tanker load.
Some say that, with GPS-based navigation and double hulls, spills such as Exxon Valdez are not possible today. They are wrong. Dou-ble hulls do not prevent hull fracture if there is a collision at speed, only if there is a gentle scrape. As for the GPS claim, most marine ac-cidents are caused by human inattention, not by a lack of knowledge about position. All ships carried systems to indicate their location be-fore GPS came along. The Exxon Valdez crew could have glanced at their instruments to de-termine their location but they didn’t, neither did the crew on the Queen of the North. Marine disasters regularly occur and a quick search of the Internet shows human error is most often the problem. Undoubtedly there will be many more marine accidents in future. Our grand-children will not thank us if we willingly risk the destruction of the B.C. coast on our watch.
Fortunately there is a solution that is benefi-cial for all concerned: all we have to do is build a refinery at Kitimat. The refinery will convert the bitumen to gasoline, diesel and jet fuel which float and evaporate if they are spilled. Often little or no spill remediation is required. These refined fuels simply do not cause the habitat destruction of conventional or synthetic crude oil, or anywhere near the devastation caused by bitumen.
The second part will run in the next issue. It will discuss the enormous value-added benefits and environmental advantages of a modern green refinery. The pipeline from Alberta and the tanker fleet to export the refined fuels will also be considered.
Let me declare my biases. I am for creating thousands of good permanent jobs in B.C. I am for creating billions of new tax dollars for gov-ernment coffers. I am for reducing the planet’s greenhouse gas emissions. I am for building an oil pipeline that will never leak. I am for build-ing a modern tanker fleet that carries only re-fined fuels that float and evaporate if spilled. I am against shipping bitumen in tankers.
If you agree that we should not put bitumen in tankers, please contact your local MP and say so. The Canadian government makes a de-cision on this next month.

Refinery would alleviate threat from tanker transport
Some inconvenient truths for Earth Day
VICTORIA – Earth Day 2014 will likely go down in B.C. history as less exciting than last year’s event.
That was the day when, in the heat of the election campaign, NDP leader Adrian Dix announced in Kamloops that he doesn’t support the expansion of the Trans Mountain oil pipeline to its Burnaby terminal, because Vancouver shouldn’t become a “major oil port.”
As of this Earth Day, it has been an oil port for exactly a century, since Im-perial Oil began work on B.C.’s first refinery in 1914, in what is now Port Moody. There were no pipelines then, so crude was moved by rail or tanker.
For 60 years, Trans Mountain has supplied the Chevron refinery in Burna-by that is southern B.C.’s last source of fuel. Some of the Alberta crude is piped south to be refined into fuels and some of that product is barged back up to B.C. to keep our traffic moving.
Today the proposal to expand and upgrade that pipeline, and to build new oil and natural gas pipelines across the north, dominate B.C.’s political scene.
In keeping with the educational as-pect of Earth Day, here are some things you may not know about energy and the environment.
• A recent National Geographic re-port summarizes the main sources of oil in the oceans around North America. Media coverage focuses on tanker and pipeline spills, but they only account for eight per cent of the total.
Fully 60 per cent of the oil load in North American waters is from natu-ral seeps, where oil leaks from seafloor rock. One of the world’s largest is off Santa Barbara, California, where 20 to 25 tons flows out each day. It’s mostly consumed by oil-eating bacteria that have adapted and proliferated.
The next biggest source is leakage
from cars and trucks, which collects on pavement and is flushed to sea when it rains.
• Earth Day is now preceded by Earth Hour, during which we are encouraged to turn out our lights to join a world-wide gesture of conservation. Many people use the occasion for a candle-light dinner.
Given that B.C.’s power is nearly all from renewable hydroelectric sources, and the paraffin used to make candles is derived from petroleum or coal, this feel-good ritual produces an increase in greenhouse gas emissions.
David Suzuki is now promoting the idea of Earth Month, an expansion of the symbolic effort designed to “raise awareness.” This is a popular notion in the climate change industry, which to date consists mostly of government officials and activists flying around the world to conferences in exotic locations to sign agreements that lead to, well, not much so far.
• Unlike Earth Hour, B.C.’s carbon tax on fuels actually appears to be help-ing to reduce emissions.
An update to provincial data is due this year, but what we have shows a 5.7 per cent decrease in carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases between 2007 and 2011.
Environment ministers have conced-ed that some of this is due to the reces-sion that struck in 2008-2009. But since the economy has recovered and begun to grow again, emissions have contin-ued to decline.
• There are simple things anyone can do, without gimmicks or govern-ment programs. One would be to stop protesting increased housing density in your community.
By far the largest source of green-house gas emissions in B.C., not to mention old-fashioned pollution, is transportation. By living closer to where we work, shop and play, we can exercise our legs instead of just our gas pedal foot to get around.

LIFE & TIMES
Bechara Saab’s travel hopes are out of this world.
The neuroscientist is among the 200,000 people who applied to take a one-way trip to Mars in a settlement program that is expected to begin in 10 years.
The 34-year-old made the � rst cut and is now competing against 999 other people across the world.
“I want to get the ball rolling on a whole new society, a new way of do-ing things; something that can only be done when you’re far away from the in-stitutions here,” he says. “I don’t think we’ll have a Utopia, but we could have a chance to get something right.”
Establishing human life on the red planet is the mission of Mars One, a not-for-pro� t foundation that maintains current technologies make life on Mars possible.
“I got a bit of backlash from the fam-ily, but once we discussed it more my siblings came on-board and Mom’s sort of onboard,” says Saab. “And Dad’s started to take it seriously.”
The enthusiastic scientist spent two weeks in March in a Mars habitat, known to rotating crews as “the hab.”
Run by the non-pro� t Mars Society, the Mars Desert Research Station is a laboratory for learning how to live and work on another planet.
“Essentially it’s individuals around the world who advocate the human exploration of Mars,” says Saab of his time as a member of Crew 138. “The terrain is very Mars-like – no buildings around, no roads, isolated, all the rock has a high iron content, the clay is red, the dust there is extremely � ne. There is no water around, no vegetation, just little bits of cacti.”
The hab is a two-storey, 1,200 sq. ft. building with six sleeping cubicles, along with a kitchen/living area on the second � oor. A laboratory, washroom
and two airlocks occupy the bottom � oor.
Outside there is a greenhouse and an observatory.
Teams of two or more sometimes go outside on extravehicular activities (EVAs), usually to hike or undertake repairs around the hab. Before leaving, they don simulated space suits before exiting through an airlock.
Saab’s work included setting up standardized EVAs that would burn calories in order to see if he could offset some of the de� cits induced by strenu-ous activity.
Muscular and cognitive fatigue takes a toll on the body and one cannot sim-ply sit down and have a cup of coffee in the middle of the � eld, says Saab, noting one option might be ingesting something prior to going out.
“Other people were doing work with NASA, studying the ef� ciency of EVAs. A geologist was examining the ef� cacy of satellite technology when exploring an unknown area, a member from Peru was examining electronic components outside in the desert and there was an exercise scientist from NASA doing logistical studies on ex-ercising in a con� ned environment,” he says.
Health and Safety of� cer for Crew 138, Saab collected data frequently throughout the day on his glucose and ketone levels, measured his physical movement and wore a heart monitor around his chest that constantly mea-sured his heart rhythms.
An iPad was used to play cog-nitive games and Saab monitored reaction times, spatial reference memory and performed other cogni-tive tasks.
“I had a computer for analyzing data and to score mental affect – basically how I feel,” he says. “I used the kind of tests given to people potentially depressive or suffering from a mood disorder.”
Saab, who “had a blast” at the re-search station, says that, if accepted on the Mars mission, he would take few possessions – his guitar, printed photos of family members, The Great Gatsby and music of all kinds.
But it’s not as if Saab will have noth-ing to fall back on if he doesn’t ful� ll his dream of celebrating his 50th birth-day on Mars.
The gifted young scientist, who de-fended his doctoral thesis on molecular genetics and neuroscience, has received a grant from the Swiss National Science Foundation to open a new lab, with a focus on exploring brain circuitry.
“It captured my imagination and I can now get in and � nd out which part of the brain and which neurotransmit-ters are involved in the desire to learn new things – curiosity,” he says. “One part of the lab will be focusing on why people with depression are less curi-ous. Nobody has ever really looked at in controlling the circuitry, can you affect depression or other mental illness-
es?”

Shuswap sees four fires in four days
The rain may have dampened some spirits at the start of the Easter long weekend, but tired Tappen/Sunnybrae fire-fighters were relieved.
Members of the paid on-call volunteer fire department had been called out to fight hu-man-caused fires four days in a row.
Despite calls from fire officials to be care-ful when burning, fire-fighters were on the run.
Around 2 p.m. Sun-day, April 13, Tappen Sunnybrae firefighters had responded to an out-of-control grass fire on Bolton Road in Tap-pen.
There was little rest as the hall was dis-patched to Recline Ridge Winery at 12:34 p.m. Monday, April 14.
“The owners were burning clippings and the wind picked up, caught them and blew them into the grass,” says Tappen/Sunnybrae Fire Chief Kyle Schnei-der, noting four burn piles were involved. “The fire went up the hillside towards their house and was just on the fence line when we got there.”
Schneider says he was concerned that, with the strength of the wind, the fire might jump to the other side
of the road where the Orica fuse plant is lo-cated.
“As we pulled the line off the truck, the wind died down,” he says. “We really got lucky. But it was a little more difficult because in the beginning we had lim-ited manpower – only three of us.”
Schneider called for mutual aid from the White Lake Fire De-partment, but called back to ask them to stand down when five more of his own showed up.
“We’re tired, very tired, a little frustrated and happy to see this rain,” he said last Thurs-day. “We’ve got a small crew of retired people and the rest are able to leave their jobs. We have some really nice employers.”
Another slash-grass burn on Tuesday around 1:30 had White Lake firefighters hopping.
“The burn in the 3300 block of White Lake Road got away
and was moving up the mountain side,” says Columbia Shuswap Regional District Fire Services Co-ordinator Kenn Mount. “We did advise forestry and had assistance from the Tappen/Sunnybrae De-partment.
“It got about an acre into the bush and the in-cident commander did tell me we had some trees candling.”
Mount says the Kamloops Fire Centre was informed when the fire reached two hectares in size.
Forestry threw some guards around the fire to make sure it didn’t spread and crews were back in quarters by 4:15 p.m.
Another potentially dangerous fire occurred on Wednesday and was extinguished quickly but caused real concern.
Schneider says his firefighters were called out at 2:35 p.m. April 16 for a brush fire near the Tappen Co-op on the Trans-Canada Highway.
“They handled it quick; they were on it really fast,” he says, noting the suspicion is the fire was caused by a discarded cigarette. “They were on it within 10 minutes and had it out within 45 minutes.”
Schneider says the fire grew to about 10 to 15 square metres, with
smoke blowing across the highway.
“It gave us a scare initially because it was moving toward the gas station and the park-ing lot was filled with smoke,” he says. “The wind was blowing like crazy. We got behind the fire and there were also hydrants back there, which helped a lot.”
Like Schneider, Mount was delighted to wake up to wet weather on Thursday.
“I had a smile on my face, I was actually
happy and relaxed,” he says, offering kudos to the electoral Area C South Shuswap fire de-partments whose fire-fighters are proving to be adept at switching from structural to wild-fires.
In the meantime, Mount and Schneider are asking residents to make sure they get a burn registration num-ber from bcwildfire.ca, follow provincial fire regulations and advise their local fire depart-ments when they are going to burn.

Attempts to improve the city’s clearing of ice and snow last year re-sulted in some piling up of expenses and a depletion of the city’s snow con-trol reserve.
From January through December 2013, the city’s snow control pro-gram tallied an $826,600 bill, about $150,000 over the five-year average of $675,414.
While the 2014 budget will be in-creased to $770,000, which more closely reflects the actual costs of prior years, the money to cover the extra costs in 2013 will come from the snow and ice control reserve – $100,000 – and $30,000 from an in-surance reallocation. That will nearly deplete the reserve, which stood at $105,866 at the end of 2013.
Monica Dalziel, the city’s chief fi-nancial officer, explained that council will have to consider replenishing the reserve as part of the budget process in November 2014.
In 2012, she said, council increased the maximum amount for the reserve from $200,000 to $300,000, but that amount was never reached because the actual costs of snow removal did not come in under budget – there was no extra.
Dalziel said it’s happened at least once, in 2006 or ’07, that the reserve was depleted and then replenished over time.
“It’s like a safety net.”Rob Niewenhuizen, director of en-
gineering and public works, told the city’s April 7 meeting of the planning and development services committee that an increased use of salt and liq-uid magnesium chloride, as well as a change in shifting, were responsible for the bulk of the increase.
He said best practices for snow and ice control include the use of liquid magnesium chloride prior to snow-falls as an anti-icing agent to prevent black ice and to reduce snow bonding to the road. They also include using salt instead of sand to get roads back to bare pavement during or within a few hours of the snowfall.
Regarding the change in shifting, it involved adding two more staff, from 12 to 14, to provide 24-hour cover-age six days a week, from Monday through Saturday.
For Sunday, one member of the crew works an on-call shift from 11 p.m. Saturday to 11 p.m. Sunday, re-ceiving two hours of pay per day at straight time (for being on standby) and a minimum of two hours double time to do an early morning road check or, when needed, to respond to snow or slippery roads. Employees called out on the weekend or called out prior to their scheduled shift are paid double time until their normal shift starts.
Niewenhuizen said modifications in 2014 to reduce costs will include a shorter shifting schedule, and more selective application of salt and liquid magnesium chloride.
Coun. Debbie Cannon emphasized her wish for seven days per week cov-erage.
“Have we looked at contracting out on Sunday so we don’t pay double time?” she asked, adding she knows lots of unions that work Sundays.
Niewenhuizen said the options are to pay a premium for one person to be on call, or to hire two more people – who might not have enough work – to be on shift for the four months needed.
Coun. Denise Reimer said she would look forward to looking at the numbers.
“We would probably find paying someone overtime would be less than paying for two new staff members.”
Coun. Alan Harrison said he thinks staff did a really good job keeping the roads safe this past winter.
“I think a lot of residents don’t know snow removal is such a science. A lot of thought is going into seeing we use our dollars the best we can.”
Niewenhuizen explained that the plowing and sanding routes total ap-proximately 500 kilometres of driving lane (both sides of the road), plus an additional 100-km of miscellaneous access roads and back alleys that must be cleaned for garbage and recycling pick-up.
Winter costs: This winter saw the city fork out $150,000 more than the five-year average for snow control on roads and sidewalks.

Maybe the third time will be the charm.
The City of Salmon Arm will be putting out a request for quotations to buy a 4x4 half-ton pickup truck.
This will be the third time the city has put out an RFQ on this purchase.
At its March 24 reg-ular meeting, council gave staff approval to purchase a truck from a Kamloops dealer-ship. While a local dealership had offered a truck at a lower price, the quotations included estimated fuel costs over 200,000 kilome-
tres, which gave the Kamloops vehicle the economic edge.
Last Monday, how-ever, council learned the Kamloops dealer-ship had to withdraw its bid as the city had missed the April 1 or-der deadline for the 2014 model.
“We now are in a situation where we can re-tender this, and that is what staff feels is probably in the best interest,” commented city engineering and public works director Rob Niewenhuizen.
Council’s approval was sought to send out a new request for quo-tations that would once again take into account
long-term fuel costs. But Coun. Alan Har-rison asked that it � rst be amended so that the RFQ be based solely
on purchase price. He argued there are many variables that can af-fect value, and this
“muddies the RFQ” process.
Couns. Chad Elia-son and Denise Reimer supported the amend-ment, but suggested a policy is needed in or-der to move the city to-wards a “cleaner � eet” of vehicles.
Only Mayor Nancy Cooper opposed the amendment, explain-ing this vehicle would be used daily to move people and small equipment, “so look-ing at fuel ef� ciency in this particular case I think is very relevant.”

Affordable daycare yes, $10 a day, no.
City council will be writing to the B.C. Ministry of Education advocating for afford-able childcare and early childhood education funding.
This followed a re-quest from the city’s social issues commit-tee, asking that council endorse a $10 a day child-care plan, as pre-
sented to council in March by Early Child-hood Educators of BC executive director Em-ily Mlieczko.
Coun. Chad Eliason reported to council that a resolution to support the $10-a-day plan would be presented at this year’s Union of B.C. Municipalities convention, noting that UBCM has avoided proposing “specific program designs such as $10 a day, in order to not limit the range
of possible solutions for affordable child-care.” However, he said UBCM has consis-tently supported reso-lutions favouring af-fordable childcare and access to early learning, and he is in favour of council writing a letter to the province doing the same.
“I think it’s just an-other way we can show our support for help-ing childcare with as-sistance, because the positive externalities
that would come from a small investment in this are unquantifiable at this point,” said Elia-son.
Council voted against the endorsement, but agreed to write a less specific letter using the word “affordable.”
Coun. Marg Kentel, however, warned that no matter what hap-pens, someone would be stuck with the bill, noting the $10-a-day plan was estimated to cost $1 billion, which
she couldn’t support.“I’ve been a work-
ing mom all through my years and it would
be nice, often, to have better financial avenues behind you to support day care,” said Kentel. “But, to me, if we were spending that kind of money… I would rath-er see it somehow go where moms can stay home and be with their kids rather than have them be in day care.”
Coun. Alan Harri-son could support “af-fordable,” but not the $10-a-day plan, siding with Kentel, stating the cost would be exorbi-
tant and unrealistic. “While I have some
strong ideas for fund-ing things like early literacy and early in-tervention, that kind of funding is not com-parable to the amount we’re talking about for this plan,” said Harri-son.
Coun. Ken Jamieson also supported the let-ter, and noted that while an affordable childcare program may come at a high cost, the benefits would be worth it.

Free hazardous waste disposal
The Columbia Shuswap Regional District (CSRD) will be conducting a Household Hazard-ous Waste Round-up event in Salmon Arm on Sat-urday, April 26 to collect a backlog of hazardous household material.
“This is an opportunity for residents to get rid of materials that are toxic, corrosive, reactive or ignitable,” says waste reduction facilitator Car-men Fennell. “There are so many items that pose potential hazard to human health, such as anti-freeze and adhesives, glues and pool chemicals.”
The regional district offers residents the oppor-tunity to dispose of materials that cannot go into the landfill free of charge on this specific day.
The Salmon Arm Hazardous Waste Recycling Fair will take place from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. at Bill’s Bottle Depot.
For more information on this event, visit www.csrd.bc.ca, or send an email to [email protected].

Business
Salmon Arm can get ready for mouth-water-ing steaks, tasty chick-en and tender chops, as the new owners of the former Mino’s Restau-rant are preparing for a May opening.
Now renamed the Heritage Chop House, David Courtney and his wife Bette are bus-ily cleaning, repairing and prepping the his-toric home, which has housed a number of restaurants over the past two decades, including incarnations as Minos and the Orchard House.
“It’s a beautiful old place, with a lot of his-tory and a great loca-tion,” says David. “But it has been closed for 17 months, so we’ve got our hands full getting everything cleaned up and in shape for operat-ing.”
David promises a unique dining experi-ence, modelled after a traditional Chicago steak house. He has sourced suppliers for local beef, chicken and pork, and notes entrees will all come with vege-tables, as well a unique and wide-ranging vari-
ety of side dishes for the diner to choose from including scalloped po-tatoes, mac and cheese or sautéed mushrooms. This will be comple-mented by the diner’s choice of an array of sauces from sweet to spicy to savoury.
“Things can be mixed up, so every time you come in, you can pick a different flavour, even if you choose the same basic meat dish. As far as I know, there won’t be another restaurant like it in the whole Okanagan Valley.”
After more than 30 years as a chef, David is deeply familiar with what it takes to make a restaurant a success.
He and Bette wanted to move to the area from Calgary after pre-viously owning two establishments in Cal-gary and one in Trail. But the couple have also known life in the Okanagan when, years ago, David was a chef at the Delta Lakeside Penticton.
While an exact open-ing date has not yet been determined, the couple are certain that in May, there will be diners digging into full plates of food.
“It’s all coming to-gether and we are anx-ious to get the doors open and start serving the people of the Shus-wap.”
Menu planning: Bette and David Court-ney, accompanied by their dog, Ozzie, re-view the offerings planned for the Heritage Chop House when it opens in May.

YOUR HEALTHPresident’s own story: 15 years ago I started to have arthritis, prostate, kidney,snoring and sleep apnea problems, which were all helped quickly with natural
health products. I made it my life’s purpose to help others. Nick A. Jerch
Source of calcium for the maintenance of good health. Helps to relieve joint pain associated with osteoarthritis.Truthful actual experiences from real people:< For 40 years I had injections and drugs and finally Bell Shark Cartilage spared methe endless torture I suffered day and night. Pat Laughlin, Coldwater, ON <My hip is 95% painfree. Pain killing drugs mask and Bell Shark Cartilage heals. Rebecca Hite, Oroville, CA<I triedanother brand and pain came back. 2 weeks on Bell and pain is gone again. Gert Dupuis,Hanmer, ON<I suffered for years. I tried everything and finally after taking a specially processedshark cartilage I was pain free in 2 weeks. After this experience I realised I could help many of those5 million Canadian that suffer every day and night and I started to sell this same type of sharkcartilage and helped hundreds of thousands of men and women to have less pain or no pain at all.Nick A. Jerch, President of Bell Lifestyle Products. <Many people on our website write: “Canwalk again for hours”;”Can climb stairs without hanging on to railing”;”First time in 15 years cansleep at night” Arthritis Pain in joints down 90%, same for my sister…hundreds of testimonials
all with full names and towns. Shark bones/cartilage was a previously thrown away by-product of the food industry. No sharksare caught for their cartilage. Don’t let any activist confuse you.

Do you need a Handyman?
West Martin-Patterson’s name is well known around the Interior ten-nis circuit as he and his men’s dou-bles partner, Jeremy Bell, were un-defeated in the 2013 outdoor tennis season. His ratio of wins to losses on the singles and mixed court is an impressive 12:3.
The secret behind his competitive edge is just that – his competitive-ness.
“I drive myself to get better at things.”
This whole attitude began at the age of 12.
“I was into everything – bas-ketball, running, snow-boarding, mountain biking. I wanted to be re-ally good at one thing and I picked tennis one day – randomly.”
At the time he was living in Ab-botsford. Someone had given him an old wooden racquet and he went to the tennis court.
“I hit against the wall for a few months before I had anyone to play with. It was just me and the wall. The wall remains undefeated,” he jokes.
That first day, some senior ladies were playing.
“One of the ladies told me to stick with the sport because I had a knack for it.”
That simple remark was enough inspiration. Martin-Patterson would ask anyone who happened to be around to play with him. Occasion-ally people gave him pointers, but, for the most part, he was self-taught.
“I watched a little bit, I read up on it a little bit, I just kind of became a student of the game. I learned by trial and error.”
He focused on becoming a well-rounded and mentally strong player.
“This is an individual sport; you have to be mentally strong. If you let up for a little, you let the match slip.”
He moved to the West Kootenay three years later. For the next few
years, without as much opportunity, Martin-Patterson didn’t play as of-ten. When he was 19 he started to travel to the Okanagan and Slocan to play in tournaments, both men’s doubles and singles.
“I like them both equally. There’s a little different strategy. My friend, Jeremy Bell and I have been play-ing together for four to five years. We complement each other’s styles. Jeremy is a tall guy and he’s got a long reach. Both of us pack a lot of power.”
He and Bell, a Vernon resident, play against each other as well: “We go to war on the court and then we’re friends when we shake hands.”
How do they fare against each other?
“We’re pretty close, I have a slight edge, I beat him in two tournaments last year and he beat me once.”
Martin-Patterson, his wife Li-sa-Marie and their two daughters moved to Salmon Arm last year from Sicamous. He is the new recre-ation and volunteer co-ordinator for the Good Samaritan Society (Hill-side Village and Pioneer Lodge) and coach of the Salmon Arm Second-ary tennis team.
This year he plans to do the local circuit again, and that competitive spirit is apparent in his pre-season training.
“I was travelling to Kamloops and Kelowna when there was no snow on the courts. I was mostly going to Vernon. I was playing there on Jan. 5th, it was -5. Anything colder than that is too cold. ”
SportsDriven to improve, excel
Dedicated: Above, West Martin-Patterson, who has excelled in the Interior circuit, both in singles and doubles play, practises his game. To right, he tunes up with his doubles partner, Jeremy Bell.

Salmon Arm just hosted some of B.C.’s best young hockey players.
The U16 Male BC Cup was held at the Shaw Centre from Thursday, April 17 to Monday, April 21.
Among the players was defenceman Ja-son Herd from Salmon Arm.
Four regional camps were held across the province between April 4 and 13, where players took part in practices, games and athlete prep-aration topics. Then, based on their perfor-mance and evaluation at the regional camps, 160 players were cho-sen to attend the Male U16 BC Cup. The Salmon Arm-hosted event was a jamboree-style tournament which mixed the players to make eight teams.
Out of the BC Cup, 40 players – two teams of 20 – will be chosen to attend the U16 Pro-vincial Camp in early July. Half of them – 20 players – will be cho-
sen in November to be a part of Team BC.
From there, Team BC will compete at the 2015 Canada Winter Games to be hosted in
Prince George from Feb. 13 to March 1, 2015.
Coming up on April 23 to 27, more of B.C.’s best.
The 2014 Female U18 BC Cup will be held at the Shaw Cen-tre. Players were iden-tified throughout the 2013-2014 season by
evaluators and asked to attend the U18 BC Cup.
Hailey Haskell from Salmon Arm will be participating.

TED tops DrillersTED United’s soccer season started well on April 15. In the first five minutes, keeper Cathy Bartsch tipped a rocket shot over the crossbar. TED’s first goal of the season came from Kyla Sherman as she ran past the midfield players and blasted by the defender to gracefully place the shot at the bottom right of the goal. The second goal was scored by Bonnie Kelly, who broke away from her defender and scored a beautiful-ly-placed left-foot shot on the ground, past the Goplin Drillers goalie. No scoring in the second half, but there were two shots by Kim Turner and a header from Sherman that all hit the cross bar. Final score was 2-0 for TED United.

The birds are singing, the flowers are budding and the golfers are golf-ing.
Spring has arrived at local golf courses, with all three in the closest radius to Salmon Arm up and running.
The Canoe Creek Golf Course at 6015 Shaw Rd. opened on Friday, April 18, featur-ing the 18-hole Dave Barr-designed course, the driving range and chipping practice area.
“The course is in ex-cellent shape,” says pro shop attendant Marty Szetela. “People have been commenting on how well the greens have wintered.”
New head pro Mike Loewen comes to the course from Kelowna, where he split seven years between Preda-tor Ridge and Sunset Ranch. He’s pleased to be at the Canoe Creek course.
“It’s definitely in my top five in the area. I’ve always enjoyed playing here in the past so now I get to work here and enjoy it even more.”
Loewen is also im-plementing a new rate structure to make it more attractive for lo-cals to play.
At Club Shuswap
Golf and RV, 5751 Trans-Canada Hwy. NE in Canoe, the course opened later than nor-mal this year because of the weather – but is in good shape.
“The greens are look-ing wonderful; ours wintered very well. We’re happy with that,” said owner Noreen Barnard. She says last weekend a lot of Alber-tans came to play and were wearing shorts – “it’s like summer here compared to what they left” – while local resi-dents were still bundled up in sweaters and long-sleeves.
Club Shuswap has an 18-hole course, Lakev-
iew Greens, with a view of Shuswap Lake, as well as the nine-hole Coyote Ridge. There’s also an 18-hole putting course on real greens, a driving range with all the practice facilities, and pickle ball.
“The pickle ball is doing really well – that’s new for us,” she says, explaining the courts opened partway through last season.
At the Salmon Arm Golf Club, 3641 Hwy. 97B, the nine-hole Heritage course, created with its historical layout in 1928, opened last Fri-day.
“Things are looking great, the greens are
in great shape, every-thing’s fine,” said Tim Kubash, masters super-intendent at the club.
“It was a long cold one, but golf courses seem to like that. Good snow cover is a good in-sulating blanket. We’ve wintered quite well this year.”
The driving range is also up and run-ning, while the 18-hole Champions course will be opening Wednesday, April 30 at 10 a.m.
Coming up is the Zone 2 Junior Open on May 3 and the Spald-ing Cup Tournament on May 24 and 25, the longest-running best ball tournament in B.C.
Pickle fun: Donna Harper, Linda Brown, Jiri Safeek and Colleen Luco are among the players enjoying a game at the Pickle Ball courts beside the clubhouse at Club Shuswap on the Trans-Canada Highway near Canoe.
Golf courses winter well
Set for spring: Salmon Arm Golf Club head teaching profession-al Jesse Crowe chips one onto the green on the Heritage Course which opened April 18. With the warm, wet weather, Crowe says the Champions course will soon be in fine shape. It’s set to open Wednesday, April 30.

ARTS & EVENTSWriters Fest brings out the best
Acclaimed playwright Carmen Aguirre’s � rst book, Something Fierce, evolved in her head for 20 years before making it to print.
But Aguirre promises participants in her master class at the Shuswap Writers’ Festival will walk away with the beginnings of a their own memoir.
In her workshop, Something Fierce; Memoir And Monologue, Aguirre will explore the art of memoir writing through voice, theme, structure, tone and character development.
In the second part of the session, Aguirre, an accomplished actor, will take students to another level by guiding them through the process of writing a monologue based on a personal story.
And Aguirre has a lot to draw on, having been introduced to the world of political activism as a very young child.
In September 1973, a violent coup replaced democratically elected Salva-dor Allende with the repressive regime of Augusto Pinochet.
Thousands were arrested, tortured and killed.Soon after the coup, six-year-old Aguirre and her younger sister � ed the
country with their parents for Canada and a life in exile.In 1978, her mother and stepfather answered a call by the Chilean resis-
tance to return to South America. As their mother and stepfather set up a safe house for resistance members
in La Paz, Bolivia, the girls’ own double lives began. At 18, Aguirre herself joined the resistance. With conventional day jobs as
a cover, she and her new husband moved to Argentina to begin a dangerous new life of their own.
Back in Vancouver for the past 24 years, Aguirre says her book, which won Canada Reads in 2012 and became a No. 1 national best-seller, ex-plores two themes: living in a state of terror and the tension between politi-cal commitment and personal desires.
“It’s a coming-of-age tale set against the backdrop of a political thriller,” she says. “Coming of age, where the theme is commitment clashing with desire. I think everyone can relate, which is why the book is doing well.”
Asked about coming to terms with the terror inherent in her own early life, Aguirre says she is grateful for the experiences that have provided fodder
for many of the 20 plays she has written and co-written.“I feel if I had not suffered what I had, I also would not have been able to appreciate the light…” says Aguirre, noting she is
not alone in having to overcome terrible experiences. “This country is full of people who have survived that, as have the
First Nations. It’s beyond sick.”But Aguirre will not be talking about her book in her master class, focusing instead on helping par-
ticipants to probe their own memories.Aguirre has more than 60 � lm, television and stage acting credits, and is currently
appearing as Alcina on Showcase’s Endgame.
Aguirre is also a theatre director, acting teacher
and a Theatre of
the Oppressed workshop facilitator, working with communities around British Columbia.
Aguirre’s workshop will consist of theatre exercises, writing and feedback. Participants are advised to wear comfortable clothing and to take writing tools, preferably a laptop.
Presented by the Shuswap Association of Writers, Word on the Lake takes place May 16 to 18 at the Prestige Harbourfront Resort and registration at re-duced prices ends April 25.
This year’s presenters also include Gail Anderson-Dargatz, Ann Erickson, David Es-sig, Diana Gabaldon, Gary Geddes, C.C. (Chris) Humphreys, Shelagh Jamieson, Ur-sula Maxwell-Lewis, Carolyn Swayze and Howard White.
Following Friday evening registration, participants are invit-ed to a coffeehouse at 7 p.m. at Shuswap Theatre, hosted by the Shuswap Writ-ers and featuring an evening of readings by festival present-ers.
This event is open to members of the public. Ad-mission is $10.
Saturday morn-ing sessions be-gin with a key-note address by best-selling author Diana Gabaldon, followed by workshops and presentations, which wrap-up at 4:15 p.m. with a ceremony to announce the winners of the Kidswrite con-test.
New this year, a banquet and entertainment gala will take place at 7 p.m. at the Prestige on the Sat-urday night.
Sunday’s session, which takes place at Okanagan College, will begin with breakfast at 9, a keynote address by author and biologist Ann Eriksson, followed by presen-tations and a wrap-up at 1:30 p.m.
For more information on festival, visit www.saow.ca.
First class: From the top, acclaimed writers Gail Anderson-Dargatz, Carmen Aguirre and Diana Gabaldon will present workshops at Word on the Lake.

If it becomes apparent that something is not as it should be with your body, don’t ignore it.
Do something.This is the message that will be shared at a Health
Information Forum, to be hosted by the Rotary Club of Salmon from 6 to 9:30 p.m. Thursday, April 24 at the Salmar Classic Theatre.
While all ages are welcome, the forum will deal with health concerns for young and middle-aged adults.
An interactive health display will be available for viewing in the theatre foyer from 6 to 7 p.m. Local dentists will be present, along with local pharma-cists to answer questions within their � eld of ex-pertise during the Interactive Health Display. Other health related displays will be featured, and infor-mation packages will be distributed that will include printed material from the Canadian Cancer Society, Heart and Stroke Foundation, Canadian Diabetes,
the BC Lung Association and other health-related organization. This will be followed at 7 by three keynote speakers who each will speak about their area of specialty followed by a question period.
Drs. Darren Lorenz, Scott McKee and Chris Main will address the issues of high blood pres-sure and heart disease, diabetes and cancers such as prostate, colon, breast and testicular cancer, and how to recognize the early symptoms that may lead to the detection of these diseases.
The presentations will have an emphasis on the importance of self-examination to both men and women, the importance of regular medical check-ups and the need to seek help immediately, particu-larly when there are concerns with breathing, colon, prostrate and testicular cancer and heart disease be-cause their early signs are often ignored.
Although the forum is free, Rotary will welcome a donation to help defray the cost the event.

Willy Gaw Quintet on Jazz Club menuTo say that Willy
Gaw is a gypsy jazz enthusiast is an un-derstatement. He is a fanatic practitioner of the Gypsy Jazz rhythm (or “la pompe”), says booking co-ordinator Jordan Dick.
“Willy has been in-strumental in introduc-ing and promoting gyp-sy jazz in Salmon Arm over the past 10 years,” he says.
Gaw has also per-formed with many great musicians and groups, including Jake Verburg, Richard Ow-ings, Gadjology, Neil Fraser and Darrin Hert-ing.
Enjoy the music of the Willy Gaw Quintet tomorrow night, April 24, at the Jazz Club, in-cluding Gaw on guitar and vocals, Pam Gaw on vocals, Darrin Hert-
ing on mandolin/guitar, Bill Lockie on bass and Dick on guitar.
Music fans won’t want to miss a special homecoming Jazz Club performance by Sandy Cameron and his group Aged to Perfection on Thursday, May 1.
The band was formed three years ago to perform for Pentic-ton’s Pentastic Hot Jazz Festival. The music is a collaboration of group improv, with the pow-erful, rhythmic piano stylings of Don Ross (Kelowna), the virtuo-sic foundation of string bassist Brian McMa-hon, the solid, rock-steady percussion of drummer Doug Grant (Enderby), with a front-line horn section that includes Donnie Clark (Kootenays), Bob Rog-ers (Revelstoke) and
Sandy Cameron.“Our mission in the
music is one, to swing, two, to entertain and three, to have fun,” Cameron says. “Most of us are ‘of an age,’ save for the still work-ing Bob and Brian, both school music teachers.”
Clark is the most widely travelled, most experienced, most well -known member of the band. He has done it all: CBC radio and TV music director/trum-peter, symphonic play-er with the Vancouver Symphony Orchestra, sideman and leader of many jazz bands tour-ing around the world and adjudicator in sev-eral B.C. school music festivals.
Cameron was one of the founders of the Jazz Club, and his single ef-forts propelled the club
from a small, well-kept secret to the vibrant, often sold-out concert series it is now.
Jazz Club concerts begin at 7 p.m. in the banquet room at Shus-wap Chefs Restaurant. Doors open at 6:30 and a tapas menu is avail-able. Dinner is avail-able at the restaurant by reservation.
The Jazz Club is a non-profit group that has concerts on the sec-ond and fourth Thurs-days of the month. Ad-mission is by donation, with that money being used to pay musicians.Gypsy at heart:
The Willy Gaw Quintet, featuring the Gypsy jazz rhythms of guitarist Willy Gaw, performs Thursday at the Jazz Club.

The festival may still be four months out, but organizers are anxious to give fans a taste of Roots and Blues through film and with live performances by several talented home-town artists.
Live Music & Cine-ma Night takes place at the Salmar Classic The-atre Friday, April 25.
Doors open at 7 p.m. and the pay-what-you-can evening begins with a 7:30 screening of Boo-gie on Blues, director Jim Elderton’s sequel to last year’s Backstage on Blues.
In Boogie on Blues, Elderton follows British boogie-woogie player Ben Waters and his madcap entourage of 25 friends on the artist’s third visit to the 2013 festival –one stop on a worldwide tour.
Elderton films Wa-ters at his arrival and throughout the festival weekend, as he per-forms solo and in work-shops with artists such as the Harpoonist and the Axe Murderer, Kel-ley Hunt and Sherman Doucette.
Following the 40-minute film, Routes and Blues presents a musical evening from four of the Shuswap’s finest musical acts:
• Blu and Kelly Hop-kins: Blu was awarded the Okanagan Music
Award for Bluegrass Artist Of the Year in 2007, and the BCIMA Award for Bluegrass Band Of The Year in 2008. He has been nominated 12 times in various categories.
Kelly is an accom-plished multi-instru-mentalist and songwrit-er, her songs ranging from rollicking and fun to heartfelt and poignant
ballads. Kelly is a great acoustic bass player, and her mandolin com-positions are traditional sounding yet fresh tunes that are delighting audi-ences and other musi-cians everywhere.
Her warm harmonies combine nicely with Blu’s smokey baritone voice for a wonderful, relaxed sound.
• Alan Bates and Sue Kyle have been playing
and singing together in the Shuswap for 39 years. Seven years of travelling and perform-ing with the now leg-endary horse-drawn Caravan Stage Com-pany fostered a passion for playing live acoustic music.
Over the years, they have continued to sere-nade campfires, coffee-houses and festivals as a duo, and as half of the local band, Birchbark.
Sue is a multi-instru-mentalist and is an ac-complished songwriter. Her songs are an infec-tious mix of folk, blue-grass and Celtic influ-ences. Alan plays both guitar and bouzouki.
• While he was grow-ing up, Jesse Mast learned to sing and play a variety of instruments by immersing himself in the music of the mas-ters of country – from the guitar and banjo pickers to the amazing entertainers and vocal-ists, exploring the pio-neers of country up to more modern icons.
He has won many awards for his songs, including three at the recent North American Country Music Asso-ciations International Competition in Pigeon Forge, Tenn.
• When Richard Se-vigny and Dale Bush joined forces as the Sa-loonatics for the 2013
Roots and Blues Festi-val, the motivation was to have fun.
Combining toe-tap-ping acoustic musical styles and comedy cre-ates a bond with the au-dience and leaves them wanting more. From reggae to rocking blues, they always have some-thing up their sleeves – their arms!
Evening offers early taste of Roots & Blues
Boogie on: Canadian blues harmonica legend Sherman Doucette and British boogie-woogie piano player Ben Waters jam together at the 21st Annual Salmon Arm Roots and Blues Festival. Waters is featured in the documentary, Boogie on Blues.

Time OuTARIES (March 21-April 19): You will personally initiate changes with yourself and through others and this will have an impact on your career and home life. There will be a sense of re-visiting the past in order to move yourself forward. It could possibly be that you are physically changing homes to create more of a harmonious situation for you and your career at this time. Every action you take will be observed by others and karmic lessons will come back to you to find a proper balance with others.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Those on your daily routine and at work will initiate a change for you on a deep level. This will have you re-thinking the actions you take that create chaos or clarity. It is beneficial for you to take their wisdom at this stage in the game. They will help you move towards your aspirations and the dreams you have set out for yourself. Past relationships will pop up in your daily routine and they teach you a karmic lesson on how not to trip yourself up in the future.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Romantic interests and past circumstances regarding children will have you evaluating your fears, aspirations, and your personal worth. Now is the time, if ever there was one, to take that step forward and move towards that which makes you happy in this world. The more intense you feel about your fears, the closer you are to releasing them and stepping forward into the future. Let friends lead the way, they are initiating changes that you will want to follow, the best time is now!
CANCER (June 21-July 22): Re-working your home life to find balance at this moment in time will be extremely beneficial for you in the long run. Surprises will likely occur for you on a public level and this will trigger a very optimistic outcome in the long run. Joint ventures are very successful for you now and they will go a long way to improving your sense of self in this world. Friction will be felt with trying to balance everything at once. Relax and take it one day at a time, change is on its way!
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Past actions are now having a significant effect on your daily routine and with work and are instigating changes to your current perspective on life. Past issues with health might re-emerge so that you can finally deal with them appropriately, so do not delay with putting off what you can do today to improve your health and work life. You thoughts will naturally go over what has been in order to change the future outcome, this will be the driving force to let go of past fears in your life.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): This will be a week when you will review the actions you have taken with those close to you, and perhaps even business partners. When retracing your steps, you might actually be surprised by what you find. You will have to clear karmic debris and fears along the way, you could even be surprised by what you find, but you will be optimistic about the future now, as you should be.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): The unpredictability of others and those significant relationships in your life will now set you into forward motion. Make sure not to exhaust yourself with trying to do too much at once. Transformation in your home life will help with the expansion happening within your career and public life now. If you find you are tired this week, simply take more time for yourself.
SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): All the activity in previous weeks has led you to want to retreat and rest, take the time if you need it now. It is time for you to work out a plan that better suits you and your busy daily work and work life. A breather will give you a new perspective on life that will allow you to approach each problem with greater insight now. Re-address the past and look to the future.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Re-visiting old friendships and group environments will help you let go of the past and clear karmic bonds with past romantic relationships which caused you pain. Now is the time to release the old and embrace the new with new romantic blooming and your personal value on the rise. There is no doubt that your personal finances will rise as well. Consider yourself fortunate to have experienced hardship, it has taught great wisdom that you will soon put to good use.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Major shifts within your career and for you personally are in store this week. Revisiting past mission statements will help you keep on track and move forward now. If you are in doubt of any actions you have taken, communicate with your higher ups - they are very empathic and want to see you succeed now. Others in your life are reflecting back to you the karma you need to release. Find truth in that statement - you are way ahead of the gang now!
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): The ongoing changes with your family life and home have you re-analyzing those steps you taken. The karmic dues the matriarch in your family has paid for you to be where you are right now will be obvious to you. This will provoke major changes in your life that will forever transform your personal beliefs about your health, work life, and daily routine. The past cannot be changed, but stepping forward with this new perspective will help you feel renewed.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Your values are in the process of changing and those close to you might become surprised as the truth about you emerges. New romantic interests might be causing this new perspective right now. There are changes with and a re-working of your savings now in order to push you towards your aspirations. Make sure to see another’s point of view at this time, their advice is priceless. The journey towards your ultimate fulfillment will be long in coming but it is starting to pay off.

Gus passed away on April 14th at the age of 69 years, with his work boots on and as always, on the go.
Gus was born on December 2,1944 to Amedee (1912 to 1984) and Eva (1913 to 1999) Ouellet at the family farm in La Corey, Alberta. He was also predeceased by brothers Jean-Noel, Gregoire, Joseph and sisters Ginette, Marie.
Gus is survived by his loving wife Verna of 45 years, their children Annica (Peyton, Cheyenne, Alexander), Gregoire and daughter in-law Trina (Nicholas), his brothers Jess (Marie), Gary (Julliet), Gilles (Marylyn), Reno, Mario (Darlene), and sisters Gheslain (Charles), Gaetane (Raymond), Georgette (Paul), Gloria (Andre), Gemma (Alan), Rachel (Mike), many nieces and nephews, friends and of course his dog Laddie.
Gus married Verna after a short courtship that was initiated when she jumped out in front of his 64 NewYorker and thankfully was successful in flagging him down. From that point they were destined to experience life’s many adventures together as one.
Gus attended college in St-Boniface, worked in the Thompson Mines, the logging industry in Hinton Alberta and Malakwa British Columbia, and a short stint back to his farming roots driving a combine. Upon semi-retirement (no one could ever slow him down) when not living as a Snow Bird he and Verna were immersed in the lives of their loving grandchildren as well as their family and friends. Gus will be remembered as a devoted husband, caring father and Bubby, an avid gardner, amateur boxer, fisherman, pilot, straight shooter, hard worker and by most a loyal friend.
A memorial service at the Sicamous Bible Church on the corner of Hwy 97A and Kappel St will occur at 2pm on Saturday, April 26, 2014. In lieu of flowers, donations accepted to the Heart and Stroke Foundation of Canada.
Arrangements entrusted to Fischer’s Funeral Services & Crematorium Ltd., Salmon Arm (250) 833-1129. Email condolences and share memories through Gus’ obituary at www.fischersfuneralservices.com.

Agreement on agricultureMemo: Okanagan College partners on educational opportunities.
A seed that was planted
two years ago is on its way to
bearing fruit – or vegetables,
or all things agricultural.
It was smiles all around Fri-
day at the Salmon Arm cam-
pus of Okanagan college, as
Okanagan college President
Jim Hamilton and university
of the Fraser Valley (uFV)
President and Vice-chan-
cellor Mark evered signed a
memorandum of understand-
ing. The agreement formal-
izes the initiative to have the
two institutions work togeth-
er, particularly on opportuni-
ties associated with uFV’s
new British columbia Agri-
culture centre of excellence,
now being built in chilliwack.
“This is a great day for us,”
said Jim Barmby, Okanagan
college’s dean of the Shus-
wap-Revelstoke region, as he
explained the idea came from
Margaret Hardy two years
ago when she was working as
downtown community cam-
pus co-ordinator. It was also
two years ago that Barmby,
Hardy, farmers John Mcleod
and Richard Bell, and leslie
Bogula of the college trav-
elled to uFV to tour the cam-
pus, look over the agriculture
programs offered there and
explore opportunities for
partnerships.
Hamilton told the gather-
The Shaw centre will be the recipient of
$50,000 towards arena upgrades after placing
fourth overall in the Kraft Hockeyville contest.
Announced just before 9 p.m. Saturday,
Salmon Arm generated a total of 847,193 votes
while Sylvan lake, Alta. pocketed 1,563,797
votes to win the western berth into the top two.
The eastern winner was Kingston, nS., who
registered 1,472,836 votes, more than central
Bedeque, P.e.I, who notched 1,403,259 votes.
Voting in the contest opened Saturday,
March 15 and continued for 48 hours until 9
p.m., March 17.
Sylvan lake, Alta. and Kingston, nS. will
both net $100,000 in prize money, while vot-
ing between the top two has now taken place to
see who will win the Hockeyville crown, which
includes hosting an nHl pre-season game and
a feature on cBc.
