The Kamloops Old Time Fiddlers are gearing up for a big weekend of performance and competition when it’s their turn to host the BC Fiddle Championships alongside their own 29th annual Old Time Fiddle Contest this Friday and Saturday.

The weekend’s event kicks off with a concert featuring BC-born multi-instrumentalist and former BC Fiddle Champion Daniel Lapp. Since learn-ing his first fiddle tune at the age of nine from his “fiddling, farming grandfather,” he has spent the last 20 years as an innovator, mentor and staple of the West Coast music scene. Daniel has collected over 1,000 origi-nal tunes by over 100 B.C. compos-ers and no doubt he will be playing several of these when he performs. His work on the fiddle has garnered him praise from folk critics around the world and this weekend’s show promises to get audiences members twitching in their seats.

“Fiddle music is so lively,” says Florence Tellier, co-chair of the week-end’s event and a long-time volun-teer with the Kamloops Old Time Fiddlers. “Over ten years ago my hus-band and I went to one of the dances and we were immediately hooked.”

The following day the stage will go to fiddlers of all ages from all over the province, where they will compete in several categories, from novice to twin fiddle, and under-9 to over-65.

“I’m really looking forward to the competition,” says Clark Hiles, the Kamloops chapter’s music director and a new student to the fid-

dle. “This will be my first time in the competition, so I’ll be competing as a novice. As we progress through the learning of a new instrument it’s always good to find ways to set the bar a little higher. And there’s always a great camaraderie amongst all of the competitors.”

The organizers bring in very com-petent judges for the event, but they are kept behind the scenes, evaluat-ing the sound alone and leaving the stage to the musicians, making it a great spectator event for music lov-ers. Preliminaries begin at 11:00am and the evening finals will commence around 6:00pm, with a dance follow-ing the presentation of the awards.

“Oh there are Saturday nights (of the monthly Old Time Fiddler danc-es) that we are tired and don’t feel like going out, but once we get there, the music is so uplifting and energizing,” says Florence, encouraging everyone to come see for themselves.

All of the events will take place May 3 and 4 at St. John Vianney Church Hall, located at 2826 Bank Road in Westsyde. The concert will begin at 7:30pm on Friday and the old time fiddle competition will take place on Saturday starting at 11:00am.

Tickets for all events can be purchased (cash only) at Coopers Foods, (Lansdowne Village location only) at Bookland, in Fortune Shopping Centre on the North Shore, or at the door.

For further information, call 250-372-2809 or 250-376-2330, or visit bcfiddlers.org. Rebecca Stewart

Cathy McLeod, Member of Parliament for Kamloops- Thompson- Cariboo was pleased to promote a call for projects that will increase opportunities for women in non-traditional roles, as part of a call for proposals to increase economic opportunities for women in Canada.

"Through Budget 2013, our gov-ernment is committed to creating a strong economy and women are key to Canada's economic suc-

cess," said McLeod. "This call for proposals, will allow more women to succeed and prosper in non-traditional jobs."

The new call for proposals launched today by Minister Ambrose is entitled Opening Doors: economic Opportunities for Women. This Call for Proposals will help communi-ties create new economic oppor-tunities for women in three the-matic areas.

Advancing Women in Non-Traditional Occupations will engage key stakeholders - insti-tutions, employers, sector and professional organizations and communities, etc. - in sector-specific efforts to advance women in non-traditional occu-pations.

Increasing economic Options for Women will address insti-tutional barriers and other fac-tors that limit local efforts to

advance the economic security and prosperity of women in communities across Canada.

Improving Prosperity for Immigrant Women will address institutional barriers and other factors that limit the capacity of community organizations to respond to immigrant women's economic needs.

Applications under this Call for will be accepted until 11:59pm Pacific Daylight Time on May 31, 2013. eligible orga-nizations must address a number of predetermined criteria in their responses. More information about this Call for Proposals is available at women.gc.ca.

It’s mosquito control time

Thompson-Nicola Regional District (TNRD) Mosquito Control Crews began early-sea-son larval treatments last week.

The season’s first larval treat-ments were planned for the Iron Mask, Pritchard, Pinantan, Barnhartvale, Paul Lake, Knutsford and Logan Lake areas. They will be monitored as grassland ponds and runoff become infested with larvae. In early to mid-May, efforts will shift to monitoring the North and South Thompson rivers as they begin their annual freshet and standing water is left in oxbows and fields alongside these rivers. All treatments will be made with a bacterial larvi-cide with the active ingredient Bacillus thuringiensis var israel-ensis; this granular product will be applied by hand, backpack, blower and helicopter. This product is highly effective at controlling mosquito larvae, while being non-toxic to other invertebrates, fish, birds and mammals.

Further information about the TNRD Mosquito Control Program or to report a potential mosquito habitat please visit the TNRD website at http://tnrd.ca/content/mosquito-control-overview or call the Mosquito Advisory Line at 250-372-5700.

City gets support for Transportation Plan UpdateThe City of Kamloops is the

recipient of $100,000 in funding from the Government of Canada through the Gas Tax Fund trans-fer to support its Transportation Plan Update.

Using these funds, the Kamloops Travelsmart Transportation Plan will be updated to review sustainable targets such as increased transit ridership and reduced vehicle ownership, and evaluate the desired level of service versus the 'triple bottom line' analysis.

The five key objectives of the

Transportation Plan Update are:1. Achieving the Sustainable

Kamloops Plan transportation targets;

2. Determining the effect of transportation on all components of the Sustainable Kamloops Plan, such as GHG emissions and air and water quality;

3. evaluating the desired level of service versus the ‘triple bot-tom line’ (environmental, social, and economic impacts);

4. Integration with the Official Community Plan (OCP) update and other relevant plans; and

5. Completing a robust public participation process.

As a result of this project, the City aims to achieve the transpor-tation targets in the Sustainable Kamloops Plan which include: 30 per cent sustainable modes to work by 2020; transit rider-ship increased by 50 per cent by 2020; and vehicle ownership reduced to 0.6 vehicles per capita by 2020. The update will also support the targets of the other sustainability components such as air, energy, GHG emissions and natural environment.

The ECHOASKS YOU

A comedy of mannersKamloops Players venture into the

dark side of comedy with the Tony award winning God of Carnage, play-ing at the Stage House Theatre, 422 Tranquille from May 3 to 11.

The story, originally written in French by Yasmina Reza and translated by Christopher Hampton, revolves around two couples, parents of a pair of 11-year-old boys who have had an altercation during which one of the boys has lost 2 teeth. The parents gather with the best of intentions to discuss the matter. A civilized evening quickly descends

into name-calling, tantrums and tears. This sharp-edged comedy about modern life and parenting is the winner of the 2009 Tony Award for Best Play and is hilarious, outrageous and savagely entertaining.

The show plays May 3, 4, 9, 10 and 11 at 8:00pm with a matinee on May 4 at 2:00pm. Tickets are avail-able at Andrena’s Books, the enchanted Teacup, Kamloops United Church and at the door. For more information con-tact Pat Zogar at [email protected] or by phone at 250-682-2164.

Actors illustrate the lack of civility that is sure to induce laughter at the Stage House Theatre when the Kamloops Players stage God of Carnage this May.

The Kamloops Arts Council is looking to fill three arts instruc-tor positions for its new Crossing Bridges program. Crossing Bridges is an interactive multi-disciplinary collaboration among the arts community, social service agencies and the at-risk commu-nities they serve. The program will deliver high-quality visual and performing arts workshops to individuals at risk and in crisis - the clients of New Life Mission, the YWCA Women's Shelter, and Phoenix Centre. Workshops will take place May 27 to Dec. 20.

Crossing Bridges provides adults living in at-risk situations a chance to build self-confidence through creative expression, with a goal of reintegration into the commu-nity. Crossing Bridges will employ local artists, giving them the opportunity to share their knowl-

edge while working on tangible issues in their community.

Full details on duties, respon-sibilities and how to apply can

be found at kamloopsarts.com. Application deadline is Friday, May 3.

Arts instructors sought for creative new program

To the editor,The policies proposed by our political

parties during the current election campaign that are associated with community food security are of great interest to me and my colleagues on the Kamloops Food Policy Council.

Our provincial government has the ability to develop programs and policies that strengthen, at a community level, the growing and processing of food as well as our capacity to prepare food and manage food waste.

In my professional practice as a planner and agrologist, I have learned that communities with strong local food systems are also desirable places to live. In my research on climate change impacts, I see how the increased frequency of extreme weather events and the outbreak of new pests in food producing areas make our current food system increasingly vulnerable.

One of the best ways to foster a sustainable community is to strengthen the food system. During the election campaign I hope there will be wider discussion on this topic.

letter to the editor

In the last 50 years, immunization has saved more lives in Canada than any other health intervention. Interior Health reminds you that we can all play an important role in stopping the spread of vaccine preventable diseases.

When most people are vaccinated for a disease, it makes it harder for that disease to spread from person to person. When people stop immunizing, diseases come back and that becomes especially risky for those who may be more vulnerable like young children, seniors, and people with certain medical conditions or compro-mised immune systems.

“This year we saw an increase in cases of whooping cough (pertussis) here in Interior Health and some parts

of our province experienced significant outbreaks,” said Dr. Rob Parker, Medical Health Officer with Interior Health. “This is an important reminder that we need to keep our immunization rates high to help prevent out-breaks like this from happening.”

Factual vaccine information can help people make informed decisions about their health and the health of their families. It is very important to make sure you get vaccine information from reliable and credible sources. The ImmunizeBC website immunizeBC.ca or your local public health nurse are excellent sources of information about vaccinations. For more information: immunizebc.ca.

Protect yourself, protect others, get immunized


eaglepoint Golf Course man-agers Ian eggleton and Brett Martin spent most of their spare time on the golf course as teen-agers and know it’s a great place for kids to spend their summers. Golf is a social sport that teach-es respect and self-discipline and becomes a lifelong activity for those who catch the bug.

That’s why the pair made a deci-sion to have eaglepoint invest in young golfers by sponsoring all of the Junior and Senior high school golf teams in Kamloops.

“We are donating team golf shirts that are being printed in each team’s school colours,” says general manager Ian eggleton. “Team members will also get free range balls until the end of the school year and a reduced rate of $12 after school on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays.”

Sa-Hali teacher and golf coach Andrew Gurney is grateful for

the strong support.“In the past, one of the things

that has limited a large group like ours to carry forward has been the difficulty of getting so many students out on a course at the same time. Many courses in the city have limited high school golf teams to only 2 tee off times,” says Andrew, who coaches a team of 21 junior golfers. “eagle Point Golf Course has been accommo-dating, allowing multiple groups of students to play at a low cost. Students are golfing with friends and family on the weekends at eagle Point and will continue to play there in the summer and beyond. Our experience has been so positive we are calling eagle Point our home course.”

eaglepoint golf pro Brett Martin ran the junior program at Aberdeen Golf Links, before it closed its doors.

“We had a program with over

200 juniors and I’d like to contin-ue the tradition at eaglepoint,” explains Brett, who is often kicking around in the evenings offering free instruction to the junior members. “I started at that age and have had so many opportunities through golf. If I can share knowledge and con-nect with new young golf lovers I’m happy to do it.”

Alongside the high school spon-sorship they are running an after-noon special where any adult can bring a child (18 and under) and the junior plays for free, and they are offering junior memberships for just $225 a year year.

“It’s a great value for your child’s summer entertainment. If we have enough interest we would like to set up junior golf camps for the summer,” Ian adds.

Call the Pro Shop at 250-573-5547 for more information.

Kamloops conservation officers recognizedTwo conservation officers from Kamloops have

been awarded the Peace Officer exemplary Service Medal for their continued hard work and dedication to protecting the environment. The Peace Officer exemplary Service Medal recognizes peace officers who have completed 20 years of exemplary ser-vice with organizations that employ peace officers, including the Conservation Officer Service.

Tobe Sprado is a recent recipient of the Queen's Diamond Jubilee Medal for over 20 years of experi-ence with the Conservation Officer Service. His post-ings include the Lower Mainland, New Hazleton, Smithers, Atlin, Castlegar and now Kamloops. He is currently on the sergeant list for a promotion.

An expert in predator attack investigations, Kevin Van Damme is a leader on the Conservation Officer

Service Predator Attack Team. As a conservation officer of over 20 years, Van Damme has worked in Surrey, Clearwater and now serves in Kamloops.

“I want to congratulate Kevin Van Damme and Tobe Sprado on receiving this award for their dedi-cated service to Kamloops. This medal reflects both your courage and excellent work ethic,” says Kamloops-North Thompson MLA Terry Lake.

The Ministry of environment’s Conservation Officer Service is the Province’s primary responder to human-wildlife conflicts where there is a risk to public safety, conservation concerns, or where sig-nificant property damage has occurred.

The Conservation Officer Service’s Provincial Investigations Branch also conducts large-scale industrial or commercial crime investigations.

This is one way to get new life out of a vintage vehicle that will never move again!

Mix-up at the flower shop

That’s home cooking!

Vegetable soup

Clear indications that you have too much zucchini

A new business was opening and one of the owner's friends wanted to send him flowers for the occasion. The flowers arrived at the new business site and the owner read the card: "Rest in Peace." The owner was annoyed, and called to complain.

"Sir, I'm really sorry for the mistake, and sorry you were offended," said the florist. "But even worse, somewhere there is a funeral taking place today, and they have flowers with a note saying, "Congratulations on your new location."

The elementary school cook prided herself on the healthy meals she provided with lots of vegetables and fruits. When the power failed one day, the cook couldn't serve a hot meal in the cafeteria, so at the last minute she whipped up great stacks of pea-nut-butter-and-jelly sandwiches. As one little boy filled his plate, he said, "It's about time. At last, a home-cooked meal!"

Checking the menu, a restau-rant customer ordered a bowl of vegetable soup. After a couple of spoonfuls, he saw a circle of wetness right under the bowl on the tablecloth. He called the waitress over and said, "It's all wet down here. The bowl must be cracked." The waitress said, "You ordered vegetable soup, maybe it has a leek in it." u Your neighbor finds them every morning in

his mailbox. u You are eating it for breakfast, lunch, and din-ner, snacks too.

u You have a flute made out of a Zucchini. u The stores pay you to take some off their shelves.

u even the field mice stop eating it. u You till under the Zucchini plants, but still have more today than you had yesterday.

u Nightmares about a giant Zucchini wakes you in the night.

u Your kids are using it for building blocks. u You spray your zucchini plants with sugar water to attract insects. But, they won't bite.

TAURUS (Apr 21- May 21) Beware of colleagues who don't have your best interests in mind. You can pick up some overtime this week. If you can include them in your plans, do so. Don't be critical or overly opinionated with dislikes; it could cause disapproval and unwanted opposition. GEMINI (May 22-June 21) Don't be afraid to pursue unfamiliar grounds. You must not let others talk you into doing things that will probably limit you financially at a later date. Make plans to do something special with the one you love. CANCER (June 22-July 22) You should consider getting into self improve-ment endeavors. You can make money through your own creative efforts. You can accomplish a great deal. You'll stay out of trouble if you pick proj-ects that will benefit the whole family. LEO (July 23-Aug 22) Deception will play an important factor in relation-ships. Do things with your children and avoid situations that make you feel as if you've neglected the ones you love. Spend a quiet day with the one you love. You may have been too nice to a friend who just wanted to take advantage of you.VIRGO (Aug 23 -Sept 23) Hard work will bring rewards. Children may cause limitations. You could receive recognition for a job well done. You will be emotional with regard to your personal life. LIBRA (Sept 24 -Oct 23) Don't get involved in joint ventures. Be prepared to have relatives or close friends introduce you to new and exciting indi-viduals. Your partner may make you feel jealous and unloved. The answers can only come from within.SCORPIO (Oct 24 - Nov 22) You can learn a great deal if you listen to those who are older or more experienced. Take time to make physical im-provements that will enhance your appearance. Try not to be so demonstra-tive. Travel will result in new romantic attractions. SAGITTARIUS (Nov 23 -Dec 21) You should spend your day trying to get things completed at work. You will have difficulties spreading yourself between your work and your home. Try to make arrangements with close friends or relatives to spend a few days away. Be sure to spend time helping children with projects that are too difficult for them to accomplish alone.CAPRICORN (Dec 22- Jan 20) Get involved in creative groups. Don't put your professional reputation on the line. You should not be concerned with coworkers who insist on spreading rumors. Don't let your emotions get out of hand.AQUARIUS (Jan 21 -Feb 19) Family outings or a quiet stroll through the park will lead to stimulating conversation and a closer bond. Changes in your home are apparent, and you must be willing to bend if you don't want to find yourself alone. Your best efforts will come through investments con-cerning your home. You will find your personal partner taxing this week.PISCES (Feb 20-Mar 20) Someone left a real mess for you to sift through. Be careful when using machinery or electrical equipment. If you can't trust someone, question the connection. You're eager to learn.ARIES (Mar 21- April 20) Being unappreciated by your boss could make it hard to do your work effectively. Take the time to help old friends or rela-tives who have had a stroke of bad luck.
