Th e B.C. government has proposed a law to stop murderers and oth-ers convicted of serious crimes from profi ting through sales of books or memorabilia related to their crimes.

Public Safety Minis-ter Mike Morris said the legislation he presented Th ursday is a response to a book written about Robert Pickton's serial killings in Metro Vancou-ver. It was produced by a U.S. author and briefl y marketed by online re-

tailer Amazon.Th e U.S. publisher

withdrew the book in February aft er a pub-lic outcry, and Premier Christy Clark promised a law to prevent criminals from trying a similar way to make money.

Morris said the legisla-tion is similar to that of other provinces, includ-ing Saskatchewan, where a court challenge over a book by former cabinet minister Colin Th atch-er was not successful. Th atcher maintained he was wrongly convicted of murdering his wife in

1983, but later agreed to turn over profi ts from his book to the Saskatch-ewan government.

Morris said the B.C. Profi ts of Criminal No-

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

"Any arrangement that any convicted criminal makes with anybody, through an agent or through a contract, for them to make a profi t from their crime is cov-ered under this act," Mor-ris said.

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

be looking for reciprocal agreements that we have with other jurisdictions, not only in Canada but across North America to help us enforce that."

Th e legislation cov-

ers people convicted of crimes including mur-der, sexual off ences, child exploitation, kid-napping, drug traffi ck-ing or traffi cking in per-sons. Th e legislation is

retroactive to verbal or written contracts made aft er Jan. 1, 2001.

Th e constitution pro-tects the ability of any-one to tell their story, but not to profi t from it.

Telus invests $2.5 million in Hope

Signifi cant investment will connect more homes and businesses directly to TELUS Fibre, increase wireless speeds and capacity, enhance high-speed In-ternet and help deliver better health-care solutions

TELUS will invest $2.5 million in new infrastructure and facilities in Hope this year to connect more homes and businesses directly to TELUS gigabit-enabled fi bre optic network; in-crease wireless capacity to meet grow-ing demand, and to improve the reach, speed and capacity of TELUS high-speed Internet service.

Our massive fi bre optic network build in Hope is nearing completion, and many residents and businesses are already taking advantage of the enhanced Internet speeds up to 150 Mbps, said Jordon West, TELUS Di-rector of Customer Solutions Delivery for Hope.

Our work this year builds upon work weve done across the community in years past, laying the communica-

tions backbone for residents and busi-nesses in Hope to thrive now and for generations to come.

Th is signifi cant investment is part of TELUS commitment to invest $4.5 bil-lion in British Columbia through 2019 to extend fi bre optic infrastructure directly to thousands of homes and businesses in rural and urban commu-nities, further strengthen wireless ser-vice, and support key services includ-ing healthcare and education with new technologies.

By the end of 2019, TELUS will have invested $51 billion in British Colum-bia since the year 2000.

Th is is really great news. TELUS has already invested millions in Hope over the past few years and now theyre investing more, recognizing the areas present needs, but also Hopes promise for the future, said Chilliwack-Hope MLA Laurie Th roness. TELUS is a world class company that believes in the economy of Hope, and thats a very good sign.

Raeside corner

When I was growing up in the Peace country in the 1970s, old-timers used to say spring and fall last 10 minutes up there.

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

Many B.C. residents dont ap-preciate that the northeast corner is on the other side of the Rockies. Its a diff erent place economically, geologically and climatically.

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

You see snowfalls in August, dry spells, and temperatures plung-ing to 50. Premier Christy Clark happened to be in Fort St. John to speak at a rally calling for the federal government to approve liquefi ed natural gas export proj-ects, soon aft er the fi res broke out. She immediately claimed this as proof that forest fi re seasons are starting earlier every year, a human-caused disaster that could be eased by selling gas to China to replace coal.

Last years forest fi re season started early, and the now-famil-iar claims were made that it would be the worst, the hottest, etc. It also ended early and was nowhere near the worst, a point mentioned by nobody except me.

Th is springs early warm spell up north petered out within days. Now the urban media can return to fretting about undetectable

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

Forests Minister Steve Thom-son and the B.C. Wildfire Service are more circumspect. Theres no way to predict rainfall this sum-mer, and thus no brave forecast about another bad forest fire season. Professional staff em-phasize that these northeast fires dont predict anything.

Were coming off an El Nino winter that has been punctuated by claims of ever-rising tempera-tures. Th is cyclical warm Pacifi c Ocean current swings next to La Nina, a cooling trend, but you wont hear much about that.

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

them to keep on fl ying to meet-ings, and not much else. It defi es parody.

Yes, the climate is changing, as it always has. Yes, were in a peri-od of gradual warming, although the rise is nowhere near what the UNs climate models predict.

According to the environ-ment ministrys 2015 Indica-tors of Climate Change report, B.C.s average temperature has increased about 1.5 degrees from 1900 to 2013, slightly more in the north and less in the south. Thats one one hundredth of a degree per year.

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

More than 90 per cent of the

greenhouse eff ect in the Earths atmosphere is from water vapour. Antarctic ice core analysis shows that over 400,000 years, increas-ing carbon dioxide has lagged centuries behind temperature in-crease. Th is suggests that rising temperatures lead to increased CO2, not the other way around.

Conventional climate wisdom is that B.C. will see more total rainfall as temperatures warm. Th is is a matter of signifi cance to BC Hydro, which recently re-leased its latest power supply and demand forecast.

I asked BC Hydro CEO Jes-sica McDonald at a recent brief-ing, what is the utilitys climate change factor in this forecast?

Th ere isnt one.Tom Fletcher is B.C. legislature

Like it or not the internet is going to eat, digest, and regurgi-tate everything in the world.

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

Have you ever heard of the word Kumamon?

No?Not surprising. Kumamon is

the government-created mascot of Kumamoto Prefecture, a dis-trict of Japan.

Kumamon is a smiling, rotund black bear with a white face and bright red circles on his cheeks. He shows up at public events, waving and having a blast, and being photographed frequently.

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

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

The first, and most com-mon photo was a pair of im-ages of Kumamon in front of a roaring bonfire.

Th e fi rst asks Why?For the glory of Satan, of

course! answers the second, with Kumamon joyfully fl inging his arms into the air while a col-umn of fl ame rises into the sky behind him.

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

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

Ive been seeing it pop up here and there for a couple of years, and its surprising how little crossover there is be-tween Kumamon the happy regional spokesbear and Ku-mamon the meme.

Kumamons Wikipedia page has not a mention of the mas-cots other famous use, but quite a bit about his eff orts to boost tourism to Kumamoto.

Th is kind of thing is happen-ing constantly. Th ere are a dozen fl y-by-night memes generated ever day.

Dozens of people are immor-talized forever through weird video clips or awkward year-book photos, with hundreds competing to paste on the most clever/awful/relevant caption.

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

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

And some of us wont even fi nd out. Do you think the guy in the Kumamon suit knows hes Satans tool on earth?

LettersDeath on demand

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

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

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

When someone takes another persons life, it is called murder and is punishable by life imprisonment.

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

legislation on assisted suicide or doctor- assisted death.

Someone (a doctor) taking someones life is not good from where I stand.

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

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

This is not unimaginable if the commit-tee widens that opening.

Many of us imagine the scenario of mentally competent adults suffering ter-ribly at the end of their lives, and reason that doctor assisted death could be the hu-mane course of action the good thing.

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

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

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

How will this not communicate that some lives are less valuable than others? What about the physically disabled? What about the mentally challenged? What about the elderly, the substance-addicted, the lonely?

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

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

Their own moral code and/or con-science, the very oath they took to do no

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

Rather than legalizing the taking of a life, why dont we facilitate improved pal-liative care, and proactive preventative measures?

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

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

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

Doctor assisted suicide is bad.

Re: Sexual health clinics geared to youthIn regard to the article "Sexual health clinics geared to

youth" in the Apr. 21 edition of Th e Hope Standard. At the youth walk in clinic that I run, it is for ANY medical

concerns a youth may have. It is also a way for youth to get attached to a primary care provider if they don't have a doctor or feel unsure about seeing their family doctor.

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

for. I can writemost prescriptions, order tests, X-rays, ultra-sounds and do referrals to specialists.

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

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

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

Many of the youth she sees, end up coming to see me. Th e youth can learn about where to go for more help for ex-ample, to see me for acne care or sleep issues, or to see a coun-selor for stress issues. In term of medications,Kim can only prescribe birth control.

Every day presents beautiful gifts when we recognize themEvery day in life

we are presented with beautiful gift s if we are aware and recognize them! One such gift oc-

curred to me while trav-elling on a bus.

I entered a Surrey bus on my way to visit my daughter. I sat at the

front in a Seniors spot and noticed a grandma with a little grand-daughter on the oppo-site side and we smiled at each other.

At the next stop a group of four or fi ve young people got on the bus and appeared to be accompanied by a su-pervisor they head-

ed to the middle of the bus, but one young man stayed by the driver, and with one hand he hit the back of his other hand and shouted BEEP BEEP. To my amaze-ment, the bus driver beeped the horn and the lad laughed (a little too loudly) and jumped in joy. Th e young man

was about 15 and had a smile from ear to ear. Th ough he was beck-oned back to his group, he chose to sit up front and look around. His eye caught the other grandma and it was easy to realize that he want-ed to talk. He looked at her runners (yes this grandma was wearing runners and very co-lourful ones at that!)

It was then we both realized that his lan-guage skills were very limited. He pointed to her shoes and ut-tered the sound SH..., SH..., but grandma was not deterred, she fol-lowed his fi nger and said shoes. Oh my that face lit up and the smile just got bigger. He

then pointed to his own shoes SH.... SH...., and held up two fi ngers. Th e woman said two shoes and again the young man was beaming. He had now turned to me and said SW..., SW... oh dear I so wanted to reply but was not sure of what he was trying to say. He then pointed to the big green badge he was wearing and I got up closer and had a look. Oh you are going swimming? I said.

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

He laughed with joy, then showed us

his back pack and held it close, with the smile never leaving his beau-tiful face.

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

I realized aft erwards that what I had wit-nessed was a young man, living every sin-gle second to the full-est, and I am sure the grandma and myself felt privileged to have been able to share a few of his precious seconds. A gift beyond measure.

Brian MinterMinter Gardens

About fi ve years ago, vegetable gardening exploded into the more encompassing food gardening trend, and its never looked back. It happened quite suddenly for sev-eral reasons which all seemed to connect at the same time.

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

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

Th e weak economy has also nudged many folks to grow some of their own foods as a cost-saving measure. Growing a food garden provides a signifi cant saving, espe-cially if some of the produce is fro-zen or preserved.

Many young people today are quite the foodies. Th ey embrace the Food Channel, love Asian, South American and other cul-tural cuisines and want to grow some of these foods themselves. Th ese folks are also very con-cerned about the environment and strongly support locally-grown foods that are organically grown and free of harmful pesti-cide residues. Th ey also embrace heirloom varieties and are very much about fl avour and nutrition.

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

fulfi ll the need for success in grow-ing ones own food? Th e keys are knowing what types of food people want, promoting the best varieties and educating folks on how they can be grown easily, successfully and in a container. Progress is be-ing made on all these fronts.

Take lettuce for an example. Th e consumption of romaine types of lettuce has grown because of the popularity of caesar salads, as have gourmet and mesclun blends because they fi t into the category of new foods and fl avours. I am impressed with the Pan American introductions of the Simply Salad blends of lettuce. Th ey off er an Alfresco Mix, a Global Gourmet Mix and a City Garden Mix, each one creating a salad blend by itself. Th ese blends are easy to grow in a container, look fabulous and taste divine. Peppers are another exam-ple. Th e trend is towards hot pep-pers that fi t cultural cuisines. Th e innovation of crossover peppers, like Basket of Fire, Loco and Chenzo, are easy to grow both in containers or as garden variet-ies that produce early and with a beautiful display of hot pep-pers that can be harvested over a long period of time. Part of the new focus for bell peppers is for smaller and stuff able varieties.

Tomatoes round out the big three vegetables with several in-novations. Th e fi rst is easy-to-

grow varieties like Tumbler, Tumbling Tom, Tumbling Tiger and Sweet n Neat that produce early and over a long period of time in containers or hanging baskets, and they have pretty good fl avour too. Secondly, there are lots of innovations to fi t special culinary uses with varieties like Fresh Salsa and Baby Red Roma. Colour is very important as well and varieties like Sun Gold and Sun Sugar will spice up any salad.

Th e folks at Burpee have col-lected the healthy vegetables into a series called Boost. For exam-ple, Gold Standard cucumbers contain 500 per cent more beta-carotene than any other variety. Healing Hands Salad Mix has 20 per cent more lutein, 30 per cent more beta-carotene, 30 per cent more carotenoids, and 70 per cent more anthocyanins now thats just plain healthy!

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

Boomers engage in healthy living

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

Committed to safety since 1953.

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

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

An increase in safety valves along the pipeline from 94 to 126.

An increase in pipeline wall thickness in sensitive areas, such as urban locations and at river crossings.

Routing of the pipeline to avoid 22 crossings at sh-inhabited rivers including the Fraser, upper North Thompson, Albreda, Coldwater and Coquihalla.

Routing to avoid environmentally sensitive areas, such as Cheam Wetlands and three BC Class A parks.

Routing of the pipeline to minimize community impacts to the Westsyde neighbourhood in Kamloops and the Westridge neighbourhood in Burnaby.

For more than four years, weve worked together with our neighbours and local communities to hear what they have to say about our proposed pipeline expansion. By listening closely and having an open dialogue, weve been able to create a stronger, safer and more responsive project. We are working to meet all the requirements of the regulators, as well as consulting with communities, Indigenous people, government agencies and municipalities and well continue to work with them throughout development, construction and operations. We know how critical it is to get this right. Most importantly, were acting on what we hear with signicant changes to the Project.

I feel strongly that by listening to people, we are making better project decisions. - Lexa Hobenshield, External Relations Manager, Kinder Morgan Canada

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

activity that line around the edges of the Pacific Ocean.

Of those polled, 70 per cent said they have never considered buying specific earthquake coverage mainly because they dont think an earthquake will ever strike their area.

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

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

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

Elson says that damage as a result of shaking is generally not covered by a stan-dard homeowners policy.

Coverage of this type is generally pur-chased as a separate endorsement on a

policy. If your policy covers fire damage caused by an earthquake, dont assume you are also covered for structural dam-age as a result of shaking.

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

Envision Financial is a premier provider of banking, investment and insurance ser-vices for residents and businesses through-out the Fraser Valley, Lower Mainland and Kitimat regions.

Nine graduates were honoured with certifi -cates and celebration on Apr. 20.

But these graduates were the first of their kind.

Th e men and women were graduating from the Strengthening Fami-lies Together: First Na-tion edition program held at Shxwha:y Village Hall in Chilliwack.

Th e ten-week pro-gram is a B.C. Schizo-phrenia Society (BCSS) initiative that provides information, tools and support to family mem-bers and friends of in-dividuals who have a serious and persistent mental illness.

Th is pilot First Na-tions edition began in February, and it was designed to better re-fl ect and assist the Ab-original population in the Fraser Valley.

We wanted to make the program adaptable and fl exible for all com-munities, said Cindy Savage, provincial proj-ect coordinator with BCSS. Th is is a great milestone in the project.

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

Like all BCSS pro-gramming, the Strength-ening Families Together (SFT) program is family-oriented.

It provides an oppor-tunity for families to discuss the daily chal-lenges they face with others who understand; to receive reliable infor-mation about mental ill-ness, treatment options and available services; and learn about tools for eff ective problem solv-ing, coping, advocacy and communication.

As the facilitators spent Wednesday eve-nings with this dedi-cated group of people, they transformed each weeks topics into meaningful and power-ful conversations.

Sharing knowledge from her own fam-ilys experience with schizophrenia, facilita-tor Crispin revealed that the process of diagnosis and treatment is rela-tively straightforward, compared to the social hurdles.

Being labelled dif-ferently and treated

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

Facilitator Vanderhe-

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

If you dont look aft er yourself fi rst, you wont be able to look aft er oth-ers eff ectively, she ex-plained.

Working in the men-tal health fi eld for many

years, oft en with high-risk youth and adults with undiagnosed men-tal illnesses, facilitator Malloway was able to teach participants how to communicate with

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

Its a First Nations way just to help one

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

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

Its a time when mil-lions of Canadians finally get back their favourite pastime and head out on the water in their boats.

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

Many people think that a fall into the wa-ter is no big deal. They can climb back onto the dock or swim the short distance to shore, or they can right their overturned boat and get back in. If the boat cant be righted, they can put on their life-jacket and hold onto the boat until help arrives. The reality is when dealing with cold water those goals often cant be reached.

Its hard to imagine what happens should you unexpectedly find yourself in cold wa-ter. Dr. Gordon Gies-brecht, Professor of Thermophysiology at the University of Man-itoba, has experienced first-hand the effects of cold water.

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

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

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

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

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

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

for a greater length of time.

Should your boat capsize and you find yourself in the water, try to reduce the rate of heat loss by climb-ing onto the over-turned hull or any oth-er floating object such as a cooler.

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

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

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

One of the big ques-tions is whether to stay with the boat or swim to shore.

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

movement.) Keeping these con-

siderations in mind and taking proactive steps to protect against the dangers of a fall into cold water will go far towards mak-ing your boating ac-tivities safer and more enjoyable. Remember that in Canada, many of our larger bodies of water remain cold throughout the sum-mer months.

Whether you use a power boat, sailboat, personal watercraft , ca-noe, kayak or fi shing boat, fi nd more infor-mation on a variety of boating safety tips by visiting the Canadian Safe Boating Canadas website at www.csbc.ca

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

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

Th e electronic signs use radar and thermal cameras to detect animals, and soft ware developed in B.C.

EntertainmentReturn of the Harrison Arts Festival

Th e Harrison Festi-val Society recently an-nounced the lineup for its 38th Harrison Festival of the Arts.

Aft er the last six to eight months of trav-elling to conferences, writing grant proposals, preparing promotional materials, seeking spon-sors, partners, and do-nors, and attending to the kind of day-to-day problems and details that come up in an arts orga-nization, the society re-vealed what they have in store for the event that is the central purpose of the Harrison Festival Society.

Th is year I would like to highlight two themes that run through our programming: dis-covery and re-working tradition, said Andy Hillhouse, executive and artistic director of the organization. Th ese themes are there in some form every year of course but seem particu-larly relevant this year.

Roots festivals in gen-eral are about personal artistic discoveries, and about hoping to fi nd that particular performer youve never heard of with whom you resonate, he added.

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

Th e Younguns is a male vocal trio from England that sings songs about life in their corner of England, either a cap-pella or with minimal in-strumentation, and with oft en hilarious banter in between songs.

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

Th is year I encoun-tered the sizzling Cana-dian electric blues guitar-ist Cecile Doo-Kingue for the fi rst time over a total of three performances in the last 6 months, said Hillhouse.

She comes with her power trio and will per-form in a sizzling blues extravaganza double bill with Torontos 24th Street Wailers on July 13.

Also from Montreal, Haitian born Vox Sam-bou has been busy es-tablishing a reputation across the country and abroad as a captivating live performer with a strong social conscience.

In his day-to-day life

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

Th e dynamic Brazil-ian performer Flavia Nascimento comes with her quintet, and with her huge smile, playful energy, and repertoire of Northeastern Brazilian music she will motivate dancing on the beach and, in addition, bring her clowning skills to Childrens Day.

Th e society also pres-ents Yemen Blues, from Israel. Th is is funky, groove oriented middle eastern music that com-bines traditional Ye-menite singing style with west African grooves, blues-funk, and other Afro styles.

Th ere are some return-ing favourites to the festi-val as well.

Th e ever-loved 24th St. Wailers join another popular favourite, Th e Paperboys, who last played in Harrison Me-morial Hall fi ve years ago, and who will get the crowd on their feet in the hall on Saturday July 16.

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

As we are a roots mu-sic festival, the idea of re-working tradition is a mainstay from year to year, even if we dont al-ways foreground it, he said. Th is year, I am fea-turing some performers

who have made a special eff ort to research tradi-tional music in archives and old recordings, and who have re-interpreted the music they discover in their own distinct ways.

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

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

Guitarist Quinn is a true prodigy who I have known as a masterful guitarist since he was about 11 years old, and who now at the ripe old age of 20 is a force to behold, Hillhouse said. Th e duos latest album Little Hinges is based fi rmly on the idea of tra-dition and innovation.

Originally from Bow-en Island and now resid-ing in Toronto, Sarah Jane Scouten will be at the festival with her band the Honky Tonk Wingmen to sing her retro folk songs and to delve into her repertoire of B.C. folk songs from the collection of the late B.C. folklorist and col-lector Phil Th omas.

Singer Melisande presents a contemporary spin on traditional Que-becois song, dubbing her style electrotrad.

While her perfor-mance is fresh, fun, and engaging, she digs deep for her source material and honours the tradi-tional singers whose re-cordings she draws from.

Th e Estonian group Trad. Attack! has a simi-lar blend of reverence for the old mixed with a contemporary sensibility and a dynamic perfor-mance style, combining bagpipes, fl utes, and sam-pling of fi eld recordings with drums and driving

rhythm guitar.Th e Ragpicker String

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

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

Finally, banjoist Jayme Stones Lomax Project will come to the Memori-al Hall on Friday July 15.

Stone has been to Har-rison before, but this particular collaboration is getting him wider ac-claim than ever, earning him a Grammy nomina-tion and fi ve star reviews in the Boston Globe and other major publications.

He has dug into the archives and recordings of folklorist Alan Lomax and has assembled a tal-ented bunch of North American bluegrass, old time, and folk musicians including California-based singer Moira Smi-ley to perform them.

Moira was last in the village in 2014 with her vocal group VOCO.

Th is year we have some strong, young in-digenous Canadian and Hawaiian talent, Hill-house said, continuing down the list. IsKwe is an indie R and B Anis-hanaabe performer from Manitoba who has grown by leaps and bounds as a songwriter and per-former since fi rst emerg-ing on the scene just a few years ago, and is now a confi dent and uniquely compelling singer with a powerful classically trained voice.

Shauit is an Innu reg-gae artist from northern Quebec who combines roots reggae and dance-hall grooves with lyrics in his native Innu language.

From Hawaii, Kau-makaiwa Kanakaole is steeped in the ancestral spiritual and cultural traditions of her ances-tors, and honours this heritage through con-temporary songwriting and an unusually power-ful singing style.

While we bring acts from far afi eld, we also continue to support the fi nest local BC talent, said Hillhouse.

Both Saturdays in the hall will feature two of Vancouvers most popu-lar feel-good festival acts.

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

Th e Boom Booms are

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

Keith Bennett and David Sinclair are two Vancouver music veter-ans who have each ap-peared on numerous recordings and tours, from Sarah McLachlan to the Vancouver Sym-phony Orchestra, and David Boxcar Gates is a fi ne acoustic blues player from Vancouver special-izing in Delta and Pied-mont blues styles.

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

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

Th e Literary Caf this year will have a South Asian theme, with litera-ture readings by authors of South Asian heritage and a musical perfor-mance by a Rajasthani folk group, Rajasthan Josh, who is in B.C. for the Indian Summer Fes-tival in Vancouver.

Th e visual arts are on display in the festivals annual art market that stretches along the wa-terfront, and by a display in the Ranger Station featuring a group show of work in various media inspired by a trip under-taken by the artists down the Yukon river as part of the Canadian Wilderness Residency Program.

Th e organization will continue their tradition of collaborating with the University of the Fraser Valley (UFV) for theatre night as well. Childrens Day will continue un-der the direction of Janet Hutchinson, who has some fresh ideas this year, and will include storytell-ing, a theatre tent, craft s, performances by Char-lotte Diamond, Han-nah Shira Naiman, and Flavia Nascimento, and other favourite activities including the popular climbing wall.

Th e 38th annual Har-rison Festival of the Arts runs from July 9 to 17 this year. For more informa-tion, visit www.harrison-festival.com.
