JAMES MURRAY/MARKET NEWS

Developer buys West Beach siteA North Shuswap property, which

was the subject of a failed attempt to turn it into a 160-unit RV park, has now been sold to another develop-er.

The property, formerly known as the Cottonwoods Campground but renamed West Beach Village, had been under creditor protection after Mike Rink, the previous developer, went into receivership.

The final sale of Cottonwoods Campground was confirmed by court documents, which list the new owner as a numbered company with Greg Darroch as the principal.

Darroch, who could not be reached for comment before press time, has developed other properties in the Shuswap.

The Columbia Shuswap Regional District denied Rink the zoning for the development, which was to fea-ture 199-year leases on properties

within the West Beach Village de-velopment. This was later chal-lenged in B.C. Supreme Court, but in January the courts upheld the CSRD’s right to deny the proposal.

News of the sale comes as a blow to community members and envi-ronmental activists who were at-tempting to have the property, lo-cated at the mouth of the Adams River, added to Roderick Haig Brown Provincial Park.

“The Cottonwoods property al-

ready went through a lengthy and costly rezoning application process, which was wisely turned down by our local government leaders,” ex-plained Jim Cooperman, president of the Shuswap Environmental Ac-tion Society. “It would be a signifi-cant waste of time and taxpayer’s money to consider another develop-ment on this property as it is clear that it would be strongly opposed locally, provincially, nationally and internationally.”

Sorrento residents are upset over the pro-posal to install a Telus Mobility cell phone tower that will stand 60 metres high, just be-yond their living room window.

Marilyn and Phil Clark, Sorrento resi-dents, say they are not opposed to the tower itself, but the location.

The 0.24-hectare piece of land located at 1043 Dilworth Rd. is directly off the Clarks’ front lawn.

This has created a concern for the Clarks regarding what the view from their quiet home may be in a few months.

Shawn Hall, Telus spokesperson, says none of the proposed plans are concrete at this point, explaining that the company is still listening to con-cerns and considering suggestions.

The report that was presented to the Co-lumbia Shuswap Re-gional District board on March 23 states that the tower is expected to be 196.85 feet high and will include a small building to house equipment as well as a fence that will surround the area.

“The tower is be-ing put in, in response to local demand,” says Hall, explaining that those using the high-way are tired of losing cell reception.

Says Phil: “If it is highway users that are benefiting from it, then stick it by the highway where they have to look at it.”

Both Marilyn and Phil say they under-stand the need for the tower, and the benefits it will provide to the area.

What they disagree with is simply its place-ment.

Phil explains that the land is part of the Agri-culture Land Reserve and is heavily used for this purpose. It also has very few trees to pro-vide any sort of blind to minimize the visual impact and some of the trees that do stand in the area will be cut down in order to make room for a road that will run off Rabie Road.

Marilyn had sug-gested moving the tower to the other side of the street, an area that was suggested as an alternative location by Telus staff them-selves in the report that was presented to the CSRD.

That site is located on the same parcel

and, while it is still part of the ALR, it has not been used in more than 50 years, if ever, ex-plains Marilyn.

The area, she says, is covered in trees which will help provide an ex-tra blind at no extra cost to Telus and will mini-mize the visual impact for nearby neighbors.

Marilyn and Phil say they would not be opposed to the tower if it made the move to the other side of the street, moving it closer to the highway, and out of their line of view.

The Clarks wrote a letter to Telus to ex-press their concerns and to suggest moving the tower to that lo-cation, or to a parcel of Crown land located nearby.

The letter was re-sponded to on July 23 by Harvey Schmidke, manager, real estate at Alcatel-Lucent Canada (a contractor for Telus). In the email, Schmidke explains that when tow-ers are being planned for an area, four main factors are considered: Does the location pro-vide acceptable ser-vice and coverage? Is it constructible? Will it minimize impact? and What are the land-use issues?

Schmidke says mov-ing the tower to Clarks’ suggested locations would be challenging for a number of rea-sons.

“In this specific case, the fact that the land is not currently be-ing used for agriculture is immaterial,” states Schmidke in response to the unused land on the other side of the street.

However, the main alternative Telus had suggested to the pro-posed site is the same one which the Clarks are suggesting.

The board report presented to the CSRD states, “In spite of the negligible impact that this small site repre-sents, significant other areas on the property exist that would be less of an impact on the overall agriculture use of the property, should this facility be consid-ered to be located else-where.”

Phil says he wishes the CSRD had con-sulted with residents before approving the tower.

Residents had not been made aware of the plans for the towers un-til after they appeared before the regional district, when Telus themselves sent out an information package to all homeowners in the area and gave them a month to voice their concerns,

Hall, however, says Telus is still listening to concerns and no of-ficial plans have been made at this point.

“We are looking at options right now; if you would like to con-tribute further you can do so now,” says Hall. “We are reviewing all the feedback that has come in.”

Addressing the con-cern some locals have regarding the cellphone tower going up without

a blind of any kind,Hall says he would be willing to work withthe locals to createsome sort of solution.

“We have done many things in the past including painting a tower brown to matchthe fire hall locatednext door.”

“We have had plentyof demand for this tow-er,” says Hall. “We areprepared to make a sig-nificant investment tomeet these requests.”

Travelling to Vernon or Kamloops to the shel-ters there is one possi-bility, while some peo-ple choose to find a spot under the stars. It’s this option that concerns residents such as Sandra Seale, who enjoys Little Mountain Park regular-ly. She says she noticed someone had been camping in a secluded area of the park, so she requested that city staff ask him to move, mainly because of the fire haz-ard.

“We can’t have open fires burning in our park, and the littering is also unacceptable.”

City staff cleaned up part of the mess, said Seale, and then she and a few residents went in last weekend to pick up what was left.

“Empty tin cans thrown around the near-by woods mainly. Also old newspapers, a butch-er knife, some tent poles. This person was not a ‘leave only footprints’ kind of guy.”

City public works manager John Rosen-berg said a fire pit was in the area but it was unused. He said young people build makeshift shelters in the park, but camping is more unusu-al. However, it does happen sometimes, he

says, in Coyote Park, in an area just west of Pe-ter Jannink Park and, at Little Mountain.

“I don’t believe there’s

any way to prevent it from happening,” he said. “If we’re made aware of it, we certainly investigate.”

Fearing for park safety

Prime Minister Stephen Harper’s response to ques-tions about the proposed Enbridge Northern Gateway Project was that the fate of the pipeline will be based on science and not politics. If only that were true.

The Enbridge Northern Gateway Project is an es-timated $5.5 billion mega-project involving the con-struction of two parallel 1,150-kilometre pipelines across our province. While its Proponents point out that the project could add an es-timated $270 billion to the economy of the nation (over 30 years), those who oppose the project point out that the coastal waters of BC pres-ent an extremely risky en-vironment for tanker traffic, not to mention the estimated 400,000 to 1,000,000 barrels a day of crude oil that would be moved by pipeline.

While it is hard to wrap one’s mind around such enormous figures, it is not all that hard to focus in on the potential impact such a project could have on the environment.

The federal government’s response to people’s concerns

about risk to the environment was the establishment of the Enbridge Northern Gateway Project Joint Review Panel which, according to a press release from the National En-ergy Board, will provide “an open and transparent forum” for all hearing participants to make their view known.

The problem as I see it, is the continued fallout from Bill-C38 in the form of all the recent cuts to the Department of Fisheries and Oceans. The federal government sent out letters to 92 habitat staff members in British Colum-bia telling them their posi-tions will be cut, thus reduc-ing the department in B.C. to half the habitat staff it had a decade ago. This begs the obvious question of how all these cuts will impact the

DFO’s ability to effectively supply facts, figures and other relevant information to the Joint Review Panel in a timely manner?

“Heavy workloads and staff reductions at the DFO could jeopardize the feder-al government’s ability to protect Canadians from the negative impacts of indus-trial projects,” says an in-ternal government document obtained under access to information laws. “Continu-ity of DFO team members throughout the process is critical to providing clear, consistent, and defensible advice, positions, and per-mits.”

Of course Enbridge has always asserted that if there were, indeed, unacceptable environmental risks posed by their Northern Gateway Project, the Joint Review Panel would simply stop the project from proceeding by enacting regulations under the Canadian Environmen-tal Assessment Act and the National Energy Board Act. The fact remains that the federal government’s envi-ronmental assessment sys-tem has only ever found an

unacceptable environmental impact in three cases of the more than 10,000 they have had to consider since 2003.

Bill C-38 introduced, repealed and/or amended a significant number of federal laws including amendments to the Navigable Waters Act, the Fisheries Act, the Species at Risk Act, the Canada National Parks Act, the Canada National Marine Conservation Areas Act, the Parks Canada Agency Act and the First Nations Land Management Act.

And don’t forget that lost in all of the government’s double-speak were a number of more subtle changes that remove previously existing regulations prohibiting “pol-lution or harm to fish habi-tat” and replaces them with new provisions that would prevent “serious harm” to specific types of fisheries considered to be “of com-mercial, recreational or ab-original value.”

Wouldn’t it be nice if the Prime Minister would make a statement that the fate of the environment would be based on science, not poli-tics.

The BC Liberals have completely mishandled ICBC.

The proof came out on Aug. 16, when a govern-ment review showed the Crown corporation has been hiring boatloads of senior managers and paying them more each year — with the Liberals apparently oblivious.

There are 32 per cent more managers than in 2007, and they are paid (as a group) 70 per cent more than managers received in 2007. Fifty-four of them made more than $200,000 each in 2011.

The Liberal government insisted, on taking office in 2001, that ICBC didn’t need to be priva-tized, nor did there need to be complete competi-tion in the auto insurance sector. They have also insisted, especially in recent years, that substan-tial dividends from ICBC go back to the share-holder — the government. This means that all of the Crown corporation’s customers – and that’s everyone who owns a vehicle – are paying addi-tional insurance premiums to boost government revenues.

It’s a tax grab, hidden in the guise of insurance costs.

The government has now, very belatedly, said ICBC meeds to cut its management costs and manager compensation.

At the same time, the B.C. Utilities Commis-sion approved an 11.2 per cent rate increase for basic insurance, starting December.

The simple fact is this: ICBC is being used by government for all sorts of purposes that are far afield from its ostensible role as a public car insurance company. This isn’t new — the NDP did this with ICBC back in its earliest days. But it certainly points out that the Liberals are just as good as the NDP at mismanaging Crown corpo-rations and sticking taxpayers with extra costs.

After decades of de-sire, we finally made the nearly four-hour drive up to Tumtum Lake to camp, canoe and ex-plore the area. Upon first sight of the lake its beauty astounded us, as its deep turquoise colour and alpine mountain backdrop reminded us of Lake Louise.

In some ways it was better to have waited this long to make the journey, as for years I have heard how the area had been devastated by clearcut logging and now, at least, the logged-over landscape is filled with mostly healthy, fast-growing planta-tions. However, we did drive by two areas that had been planted with lodgepole pine that ap-peared anemic, as this species is not native to this Interior wetland ecosystem.

In the 1990s, I par-ticipated in the Kam-loops Land and Re-source Management Planning process, which was the first one for the province. Through in-tense negotiations with the forest industry, we were able to create the 5,733 hectare Upper Adams River Provincial Park that includes Tum-tum Lake, along with a strip of land along the entire stretch of the river between the two lakes.

Despite its park sta-tus, not a dime has been spent to improve the two former forestry rec-reation campsites, and we could not even find a park sign. We chose to camp at the lower site, where there are some trees and one old, worn picnic table, as the other site is a large open area with no amenities. It took us only three hours to canoe around the lake, keeping close to the shore to avoid any sudden dangerous, rough water from the frequent winds. At the far end, where the upper, Upper Adams River en-ters the lake, there is an enormous sand bar that forms a perfect beach.

Although the lake is

very picturesque, it is far from pristine and there are actually two cabins. One, a very small log building, is next to the campsite and belongs to a trapper who still uses it every winter. A hunting guide built the other log cabin and the lease was grandfathered when the park was cre-ated and now a family uses it as a summer cot-tage. We learned from the cottage owner how the small glaciers that can be seen from the lake, and are the source of the glacier silt that colours the water tur-quoise, have melted sig-nificantly over the last 10 years.

Back at the camp-site, we were intrigued by the constant roaring sound of rushing wa-ter. The next day, we paddled to the east side of the bay and found a short trail that leads to the approximately 12-foot high waterfall at the outlet of the lake. It is this roaring sound that likely gave the lake its name, which is a Chinook jargon word for “the pulsing of the heart.”

Prior to the logging, there was once an ex-

tensive ancient old growth cedar/hemlock rainforest surround-ing Tumtum Lake and extending up the val-ley and along the tribu-taries. The provincial park now protects small remnants of this more than 1,000-year-old for-est, although these trees are not as large as old growth found elsewhere due to the lack of soil richness. A few kilome-tres to the north of the lake is another small, 286-hectare park.Orega-na Creek was named by famed B.C. lichenolo-gist, Trevor Goward for a rare type of oce-anic lichen found there. Goward has developed the term “antique” to describe B.C.’s rare old growth Interior rainfor-ests, that indicate these forests are far older than the oldest trees in them.

Since Tumtum Lake does not have a Secwepemc name, it is possible the Shuswap people did not have settlements there. How-ever, the 1904 diary of English settler, Spencer Tuck, who spent two winters trapping and gold panning along the Adams River 20 miles north of Adams Lake,

describes the remnants of a settlement, “there is every indication of this having been a large In-dian camp at sometime, as there are remains of old sweat houses and wigwams all around.”

Interested in tapping into your inner cre-ativity or wishing to

further yourself in a pre-viously discovered art form? You’ll be happy to learn that FACES is opening in the South Shuswap on September 7th.

FACES, Fine Arts Community Explora-tions in the Shuswap, welcomes everyone to their Grand Opening event on Friday Sep-tember 7th from 630 to 830. The public is in-vited to come down and tour the new studios, meet the teachers and indulge in a refreshment or dessert. The studios are located on the lower level of the Blind Bay Marketplace Mall, next to the space Field’s used to occupy.

FACES has four studios to serve the community with plans to expand, adding a second dance studio within a year. Classes are offered for all ages from tots right through to seniors and all levels, introductory to advanced.

Area residents Karen Brown and Claire Bur-goyne had a vision to bring a studio of this na-

ture to the community and now it’s fi nally here. “The residents of this area have chosen to live here for a variety of rea-sons. Whether raising a new family or entering mid-life or approaching their twilight years, they recognize that there is no place in our province that is more beautiful.” says Brown. “Resi-dents know how to em-brace the lifestyle here whether it’s pursuing outdoor activities in the warmer months or tak-ing up new hobbies like an art form in the cooler months. They are up for anything for themselves or their children and we’re hoping that they can explore something new at FACES”

Adds Brown “It could have been very easy to start this fi ne arts pro-gram out of an existing centre or hall however part of our plans were to create a space that the residents of the South Shuswap could call their own when it came to pursuing art, dance, mu-sic, voice or theatre.”

And that has become their mission state-ment. To the left of the entrance doors reads a

sign “At FACES our goal is to provide our community members with a place to gather while exploring their creativity”.

Walking through the doors, one fi rst fi nds a beautiful, bright art studio where one can take drawing, painting, sculpture, clay, fabric & fi bre art and collage, just to name a few of the course offerings. Across the hall, there are two private sound-proofed studios where one can take up voice or music lessons. And lastly, toward the back, is the dance studio, complete with a clean air exchange system and a free-fl oating sprung fl oor, both installed to keep the dancers and teachers comfortable.

“It is very important for students to be danc-ing on a sprung fl oor. It not only enhances performance, it greatly reduces chance of injury as well. When we were designing the studios, the dancers’ safety and future health was at the forefront, therefore put-ting in the sprung fl oor system was a must.”

And the quality of the

studio design is matched by the quality of teach-ers stepping forward, all eager to teach within its walls. One such teacher is Claire Burgoyne.

During her sixteen years as an educator, Claire has worked with children and youth in both public and private education. She led nu-merous community arts events while teaching in Penticton and Nanaimo

and has enthusiastically worked with young art-ists to assist youth in discovering their own creativity. She holds a BFA in Visual Arts, teaching credentials from the University of Victoria and is currently completing a Master of Education Technology degree. Claire is pas-sionate about seeing various projects such as student gallery show-

ings and dinner theatre come to our area. She will offer her services to teach a number of visual arts classes at FACES.

Throughout the year, FACES will welcome guest teachers in to hold day-long workshops teaching anything from oriental brush painting to the art of bellydance. And beginning next summer, children will be welcomed to enrol

for weeklong camps or daycamps in a variety of fi ne arts. FACES is certainly shaping up to be a fi ne arts centre serving all of our com-munity.

Registration forms can be downloaded or com-pleted online or you can obtain more information by calling Karen at 250 515 3276.

The Shuswap Trail Alliance is going to be hosting recreational trail access planning public information and input sessions in the re-gion this fall.

Sessions are as fol-lows:

• Wednesday, Sept. 5, 7 to 9 p.m. at Malak-wa Community Hall.

•Tuesday, Sept. 11, 7 to 9 p.m. at Falkland Community Hall.

• Wednesday, Sept. 12, 7 to 9 p.m. at Blind Bay Hall.

• Wednesday, Sept. 19, 7 to 9 p.m. at Celis-ta Community Hall.

Everyone is invit-ed. Watch for additional sessions to be posted.

The agenda will in-clude a short informa-tion presentation on the Regional Recreational Access and Trail plan-ning process at 7 p.m.,

followed by an oppor-tunity to help update the regional recreational access routes and trails inventory, and high-light those areas that should be considered a priority for improved management.

As well, individual submissions are invited and can be submitted through the new trail report hotline at [email protected]. Send comments on the following: What are the recreational trails and routes that you consider a prior-ity for improved ac-cess management? And why?

The Shuswap Recre-ational Access and Trail Management Planning process will include an inventory of existing and proposed recre-ational trails through-

out the watershed, an environmental audit of those trail systems, First Nations reviews, community participa-tion to establish man-agement priorities, and the creation of a Shus-wap Trails Protocol to give direction to future planning and manage-ment.

The process has been initiated by lead-ership from the Shus-wap Lakes bands of the Secwepemc First Nation, the Shuswap Trail Alliance, Colum-bia Shuswap Regional District Parks, Shus-wap Tourism, and the provincial Recreational Sites and Trails Office.

Local organizations are invited to assist with the Recreational Access and Trail Management Plan. To get involved, call 250-832-0102.

Cadets of Salmon Arm’s 222 Shuswap Royal Canadian Air Cadet Squadron earned their wings after grad-uating Aug. 17 from the Regional Gliding School (Pacific) at CFB Comox.

Cadet Andrew Stoney received his glider pilot wings and a Transport Canada glid-er license along with Cadet Jackson Calvert, who also received his power pilot wings and private pilot’s license, on the final Wings Graduation Parade, in recognition of their ac-complishments.

Stoney was one of 45 other air cadets from across B.C. who spent six weeks learn-ing to fly the Schweizer 2-33A glider to Trans-port Canada’s licens-ing standards. He was awarded the Harry As-toria Memorial Gliding

Award for being the first runner-up glider cadet who displayed a high degree of fly-ing skills, airmanship, maturity and self-dis-cipline.

“The course took a lot of hard work to complete, but was definitely rewarding,” Stoney said.

As a grade 10 pi-anist working on his third concerto, Stoney is accustomed to work-ing hard and being dis-ciplined. It is perhaps the reason he also loves to do drill, and coached the drill team last year.

Calvert was among 37 other cadets trained at one of the three flight centres hosting the Power Pilot Schol-arship Course in B.C. this summer. He trained for seven weeks on the Cessna 172 at the Vic-toria Flying Club.

Like many who

go on the Power Pilot Scholarship Course, Calvert already had his Glider Pilot license through the cadet pro-gram. Calvert will be entering Grade 12 at Salmon Arm Second-ary, and plans to apply to the Royal Military College to become a doctor in the Canadian Forces.

“These young men and women have worked very hard this summer to become licensed pilots, and we are all very proud of their accomplish-ments,” said Lt.-Col Tony Appels, Com-manding Officer of RGS (Pacific).

The Air Cadet pro-gram is a co-educa-tional organization for youth between the ages of 12 and 18.

ne’s life.

We may not live on the sea, but living on the shores of Shuswap Lake provides ample reason for young people to head out on the water.

Now a Silver Creek man is attempting to start a Seafarers group of the Adventurers Association of Baden-Powell, which is a traditional Scouting association, with the addition of a water-based component.

Ron Long has more than 24 years of Sea Scouting experience and is looking to start a group in Salmon Arm. It would be open to boys ages of 7 to 11 in the Timberwolves category, and 11 to 18 in the Seafarers.

Members would learn many Sea Scouting skills including swimming, sailing, canoeing and power boating, as well as camping and woodcraft. Although the group expects to start weekly meet-ings in September, the sea scouting year would not shut down for the summer. Instead, the an-nual cruise onboard the group’s flagship boat, The Brownsea Isle, offers the chance to put seaman-ship skills into practice.

Sea Scouting would also provide the neces-sary training to meet and exceed the standards of obtaining a Pleasure Craft Operator card, which is required by all boat operators on the lake.

The organization is a traditional scouting asso-ciation, and is run completely by volunteers. This allows membership fees to be kept low and are intended only to cover the insurance package. For more information, contact Long at 250-833-1972, or by email at [email protected]. Adult volunteers are also encouraged and must be pre-pared to pass a police records check.

As of Sept. 4, Dr. Cornel Barnard will be the latest doctor to set up practice in the Chase Medical Clinic.

The new physician plans to begin working at the clinic three days per week with hopes of increasing his clinic days over the next six months, announced In-terior Health.

Barnard will be ac-cepting new patients who are not already in the care of Dr. Gursha-ran Gill or Dr. Sandeep Sharma and will be pro-viding much-needed support at the Chase Emergency Depart-ment.

Since April of this year, Interior Health has issued more than 29 temporary closure no-tices for the Chase ER,

which compares to a to-tal of 16 closure days throughout 2011.

Bryan Redford, com-munity area director for Interior Health, explains that in order to keep the Chase Emergency De-partment open, at least three physicians are needed at all times.

Redford says Interior Health tries to avoid closing down the centre whenever possible, and works until the last min-ute to try to fill the gaps.

“Sometimes there is

just nothing else we can do,” says Redford.

The lack of adequate health care has many residents in the area concerned and sparked a protest on Aug. 14.

Val Donnelly, Chase resident and one of the protest organizers, would like to see more than three doctors in Chase, explaining how the area once had six physicians working out of the village.

Donnelly plans on or-ganizing more protests in the future, with the

hope of getting the at-tention of the govern-ment and getting help for her community.

Her goal is not to sim-ply attract more doctors to Chase, as she agrees that the Interior Health Authority does a good job doing this, but to convince them to stay once they are here.

“Too many of them move away to other ar-eas,” says Donnelly. “We need to figure out why they do not stay here and find solutions to fix this problem.”

Whenever the Chase ER is closed, residents must get emergency ser-vice at hospitals in Salmon Arm or Kam-loops.

Interior Health ac-knowledges the hard times that Chase resi-dents have been facing recently.

“We would like to thank residents for their ongoing patience, rec-ognizing the recent changes in our physi-cian group and the re-sulting impact on ER hours of operation dur-ing the spring and sum-er,” says the Interior Health in a press re-

lease. “We anticipate the arrivals of Dr. Barnard and Dr. Gill will bring stability to our ER ser-vices in the long-term.”

Interior Health also credits the Chase mayor and council for their hard work in assisting with the recruitment of physicians to the area.

CHASE

Thanks to rain, the campfire ban in the Chase, Kamloops, Salmon Arm, Merritt and Lillooet fire zones was lifted at noon, Aug. 24.

A campfire ban re-mains in place in all of the Okanagan, includ-ing the Vernon and Penticton fire zones.

Open burning con-tinues to be prohibited throughout the Kam-loops Fire Centre, which includes Salmon Arm. This prohibition applies to open fires larger than a half-metre high by a half-metre wide, fires with a burn registration number, in-dustrial burning, fire-works and burning bar-rels.

The open burning

prohibition covers all BC Parks, Crown and private lands, but does not apply within the boundaries of local governments that have forest fire prevention bylaws and are serviced by a fire department.

Anyone found in vi-olation of an open fire ban may be issued a ticket for up to $345. Anyone who causes a wildfire through arson or recklessness may be fined up to $1 million, spend up to three years in prison and be held accountable for associ-ated fire fighting costs.

The open burning prohibition will remain in place until the public is notified that it has been rescinded.

For the latest infor-

mation on current wild-fire activity, burning restrictions, road clo-

sures and air quality advisories, go to: www.bcwildfire.ca.

Prairie Roots musicians come to town

Song of the Prairies, a concert with Darrel and Saskia, is coming to Chase.

On Thursday, Sept. 13, Darrel Delaronde and Saskia, also known as the touring band of Gary Fjellgard, will come to the Chase Creekside Se-niors Centre, across from the legion, at 7:30 p.m. They bring a wonderful collection of songs with folk, roots, Celtic and country flavour, along with fabulous harmonies and stunning musicianship.

The fact that Saskia & Darrel often tour with Canadian music icon Gary Fjellgaard speaks vol-umes about their abilities as musicians and song writers. Fjellgard is well known throughout the music industry as being very “fussy” about his sound and the integrity of his show. This dedica-tion to excellence is one of many lessons learned by this dynamic duo from their years on the road with him.

On their own, they are a powerful presence in their field; winning Top 5 people’s choice awards, hitting the #4 spot on MSN Radio’s National Top 30 Countdown, and being nominated for Album of the Year, Aboriginal Artist of the Year (times three), as well as Songwriter of the Year in Sas-katchewan. Saskia and Darrel remain a perennial favorite on the Indy Euro stations. Their music is blithely described as “Prairie Roots.”

Tickets are available at the door for $10. For more information, call Denise at 250-577-3857. Partial proceeds to support the seniors centre.

# Popular musicians Darrel Delaronde and Saskia will be playing on Thursday, Sept. 13 at the Chase Creekside Seniors Centre.

TOMPKINS, FLOYDDecember 8th, 1923 – August 17th, 2012

With heavy hearts we announce the passing of a real cowboy, Floyd Tompkins. He was predeceased by the love of his life Eileen of 40 years. He is survived by his brother Lewis, and predeceased by brothers Eddie, Earl, Russell and sisters Eva and Edna, also predeceased by grandson Harlen. Floyd is survived by his children Harley (Glenda), Echo (Murray), Bonnie (Oliver) andWayde (Rhonda), his eight grandchildren and ten great grandchildren, and his numerous nephewsand nieces. Also, by Eileen’s children Ken (Shirley)deceased, Bob (Barb), Roberta (Will), Allan (Jean)and Susan (Doug), ten grandchildren and thirteengreat grandchildren.

Floyd was the last of 13 children born to Charlesand Annie Tompkins in Chilliwack, B.C. At a veryyoung age he left for the Cariboo via horseback.He met up with his brother, Earl, and together theyran wild horses and cows. They built log homesand corrals in remote areas to capture theseanimals. They would then ‘head and tail’ them toKamloops to sell. In the late 50’s Floyd venturedto Kamloops/Chase area making a living as acowboy and big game outfi tter to the Americansand Europeans. He was a true gentleman in thesense that there would be no swearing aroundwomen, he tipped his hat, opened car doors andwalked on the proper side of the lady with theexpectations that these traits be carried on by hischildren and grandchildren.

In 1972 Floyd met Eileen Harrison at a Pritcharddance which was the beginning of their 40 yearslove affair. This love extended to both families.Also with loving hearts they reached out to all.They spent 14 years traveling as snowbirds. Dueto health problems their travel was limited however;they still continued to venture to Alaska twice,once by motorhome, which Floyd always said theydid not give themselves enough time, and once byship. In their travels they saw the Grand Ole Opry,Graceland, and all family throughout the country.He always dreamed of visiting Australia.

Floyd never missed the opportunity to play aprank, or a joke on any innocent victim. Thetwinkle was always in his eye. His passion for lifelead to the writing of 2 books: The Mad Hunt for Those Ruby Eyes, and Honest Memories of OneMan’s Life.

The families would like to thank Dr. Avanessian,the special girls at the Cancer Clinic and atParkside, and the kindness and exceptional care atthe Marjorie Willoughby Snowden Hospice Home.

The rights that workers have today such as a 40-hour work week, minimum wage, parental leave and paid holidays were hard fought for in times when labourers had few benefits, no voice and worked in perilous conditions. Many of the protections and rights that today’s employees have exist because of unions. Labour Day is celebrated on the first Monday of every September and this year on September 3 it will be in a show of solidarity for working people across the country and beyond. The origins of this national holiday are rooted in the history of the Canadian labour movement that began in the time of Prime Minister Sir John A. Macdonald. From a bold stand by a group of Ontario printers in May of 1872 grew the most

important legislature to impact workers in the following century. Union pioneers petitioned their employers for a reduction in the number of hours worked - asking that their workweek be reduced to six, 9-hour days. They formed an organization dubbed the Nine Hours Movement and argued that reducing working hours would benefit both workers and society as more time would be spent with family and community. Employers scoffed at their claims and rejected their demands. At the time it was a crime to be member of a union in Canada yet in a

courageous act of defiance, the Toronto Typographical Union went on strike to secure the nine-hour workday. A parade was held which drew some 10,000 spectators. The workers went on strike. Many lost their job and were forced

to relocate. Their employers brought in replacement workers and used this so called ‘conspiracy’ to have 24 members of the movement arrested and jailed. On June 14, 1872 Macdonald passed the Trade Union Act that legalized union activity, freed the workers and endeared

him to the working class. The Toronto printers strike paved the way for unions across North America to demand a 54-hour workweek. Canadian trade unionists have ever since, celebrated this day that has been set aside to honor ‘those who labour.’ The first

Labour Day parade was held in Winnipeg in 1894, and was two miles long.Today approximately 30 percent of BC’s workforce is covered by a collective agreement.

As Labour Day has evolved it remains a day of celebration, solidarity, speeches and recreation. The issues facing workers have also evolved. Today’s labour unions negotiate on behalf of a changing workforce in an ever-evolving workplace. British Columbians have different

challenges to deal with, whether it is record-high housing prices, increasing levels of debt and living longer. Minimum wage, overtime, working conditions for farmworkers, health and safety and access to affordable daycare are all important labour issues.

This Labour Day, take a moment to reflect on the history and significance of

the day.

For many British Columbians, Labour Day may simply mean the last extended weekend of the summer. It is important to remember it is a day to celebrate working people and the contribution they make to our province and the quality of life we enjoy.
