An unfortunate accident in

Mount Robson Park on Thursday has sent all three in-volved to hospital.

Valemount RCMP Constable Ron George said that the accident oc-curred around 2:30 pm, at the intersec-tion of Hargreaves Road and High-way 5, when an RV driven by a couple from Australia was t-boned by a tractor trailer unit heading west on Highway 5. “Based on wit-ness information the motor home was crossing the highway and is be-lieved to be turn-ing eastbound on the highway, mak-ing a left hand turn, and got t-bond by a tractor trailer who had locked up his brakes coming down the hill. They both tried to swerve to avoid the colli-sion but they both kind of went in the same direction.”

The tractor-trail-er unit hit the mo-tor home on the driver’s side, push-ing the vehicle across the road, through the Robson Meadows informa-tion sign and into the tree line, said George. The driver of the RV, a 67-year-

old Australian man, was taken to hospi-tal in Jasper along with the driver of the tractor trailer, while the passenger of the RV, an Austra-lian woman in her 60’s, was airlifted to Prince George before being trans-ferred to Vancou-ver. “The woman had to be extricated from the vehicle. She has severe head trauma, and that was from being pushed through a large wooden and concrete sign into some trees be-ing she was on the leading edge of all of that.”

George said that a traffi c reconstruc-tionist came out from Prince George to investigate the incident. “He took care of measur-ing the scene and he will do calcula-tions on speed. He is looking at seizing the data module out of the tractor to get information from it. At this time we don’t know if speed was a factor for the truck. We have witness state-ments but we’re trying to see if they line up with the evi-dence.”

At this time, no one has been charged, but

Long-time McBride resident and physician Dr. Geoff Cowburn was honoured by being in-

ducted into the Northern Medical Society’s Hall of Fame at the Dr. Bob Ewert Memorial Lecture and Dinner recently.

Dr. Cowburn said he found out about the hon-our three weeks before the event, which was held at the Prince George Civic Centre. “I was surprised and honoured when I found out and thought it was pretty kind of them,” he said.

Dr. Cowburn was born in Lancaster, England and brought up in Dorset, England. He moved to McBride in November 1967 and has been a doctor in the community ever since.

Each year the Dr. Bob Ewert Memorial Lecture and Dinner features a lecture as well as inductions into the Northern Medical Society Hall of Fame.

There were three inductees this year: Dr. Cowburn of McBride, Dr. George Magee of Burns Lake, and the late Dr. Joe Sidorov of Prince George. “The in-duction took place before the dinner theatre,” said Dr. Cowburn. “We were each given a plaque. Mine reads: ‘Northern Medical Society, Hall of Fame, Dr. Geoff Cowburn, In recognition of your outstand-ing dedication and care to the patients of the Rob-son Valley, B.C., 1967-2010 and beyond.’ I like that it says ‘beyond’.”

Dr. Cowburn said he also received a hand-writ-ten note from Minister of Health Kevin Falcon and a hand-written card from MLA Shirley Bond.

The keynote speaker at this year’s event was Charles Keating, who presented “I and I: The Sense of Self,” a one-man show reflecting on aging and wisdom. “I don’t know if he chose this presen-tation because of me or not,” joked Dr. Cowburn.

Keating is an Emmy Award-winning, classically trained English actor, who has appeared in count-less dramatic works from Brideshead Revisited to the American soap opera Another World.

The sixth annual Dr. Bob Ewert Memorial Lec-ture and Dinner is a fundraising event in support of the Northern Medical Programs Trust and the Dr. Bob Ewert Memorial Lecture Endowment, which is held by the Prince George Community Foundation. Dr. Bob Ewert was the first specialist surgeon in Prince George in 1961 and the son of Dr. Carl Ewert, who was the first licenced physi-cian in Prince George, arriving by paddlewheeler in 1913. The Dr. Bob Ewert Memorial Lecture and Dinner is presented by the Northern Medical So-ciety, the Prince George Community Foundation, and UNBC. The Northern Medical Programs Trust is a partnership involving more than two-dozen local governments and UNBC for the purposes of supporting recruitment, training and retention of health care professionals in northern communi-ties. To date, about $6 million has been invested in the trust.

The Adopt-a-Highway program in McBride start-ed up this year with drinks and snacks at the Sun

Valley Restaurant on April 28 and a first clean-up on May 5 and another one on June 2.

Close to 35 people participated in the program last year and continue their support in 2010, howev-er, more participation from the public is needed be-cause there are areas that still need to be ‘adopted’. “During our first clean-up we collected over 45 bags of garbage, mostly plastic,” said Economic Develop-ment Officer Margaret Graine. “We continue meet-ing once a month during the summer, five times in total, to keep our adopted areas clean. The Village is developing an amazing riverside park which will bring visitors to our town. This year we started with cleaning up this whole section to reduce the gar-bage on the park development site.”

The Adopt-A-Highway program covers 22 sections in total along Highway 16 between Mountainview east to Lamming Pit Road. Five to six sections are still available for adoption. “For now we want to fill the space that is vacant, but it would be nice if other communities joined us and we could extend this all the way to Highway 5,” Graine said. “We need more volunteers to cover the town and I am hoping that someone will come forward so we can continue. There are a number of organizations in town who could use the free promotion along the highway and the work is not that difficult.”

For this year the plan is to meet for clean-up on July 7, August 4 and September 8 from 6:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. at the Village office parking lot. “Participants come at 6:00 p.m. to pick up garbage bags and/or additional safety vests as well as to report items that are unsafe to pick-up, such as tires or heavy items which the LDM crew picks up,” said Graine.

All participants are insured by the Ministry of Transportation for injury or loss of life at no cost but they have to be registered to be insured. The Ministry of Transportation also provides road signs (“Adopt a Highway Litter Control”), safety vests and garbage bags as well as installing an Adopt Highway sign with the organizations or individuals’ name in recognition along the adopted segment of the high-way. Participants are also provided with written guidelines and a safety video.

If any business or individuals would like to par-ticipate in the Adopt-A-Highway program, they can contact Graine at 250-569-7556 or Beryl Hagen at 250-569-3225.

The 2009 – 2010 Adopt-A-Highway group is made up of Margaret Graine, Beryl Hagen, Stan Graine, Darrell Hagen, Mike Moseley, Karen Andrews, Jean Moseley, Desiree Andrews, John Moseley, Melody Andrews, Darrell Roth, Pat Andrews, Diane Roth, Anna Christison, Mark Roth, John Christison, Mathew Roth, Clara Appleby, Jim Harte, Linda Mon-roe, Leonard Dovich, Christine Monroe, Glen Stan-ley, Mellany Ford, Elsie Stanley, Keri-Lynn Morrison, Kristy Warner, Stacey Pleasants, Ted Warner, Susan Morris, William Hryhirchuk, Tania Gaiesky – Blixad,

Sabrea Lipke, Matthew Wheeler and Courtney Lipke. Mike Moseley is also looking after the clean-up of the pull-outs. “I would like to say thank you to all volunteers for their commitment,” said Graine. “Let’s get together and keep Highway 16 clean and welcoming.”

The Adopt-A-Highway program is a roadside maintenance and enhancement initiative intended to encourage local stewardship of public highway rights-of-way. The program offers both non-profit and for-profit organizations opportunities to con-tribute to their community and province. The pro-gram is aimed at promoting community pride and a means of publicly recognizing the organization’s efforts.

So the greatest sporting event in the world is happening right now. The FIFA World

Cup touched down last week in South Af-rica, the first time in the storied history of the tournament that it has occurred on the African Continent.

It is a truly historic event, and it only comes around once every four years. But does anyone in North America care? I find it funny, how everywhere in the world, except for Canada and the United States, soccer is infused into every aspect of a person’s life; and for the next month the world will be liv-ing and breathing the sport.

In a similar way that we in North Amer-ica are isolated from the world’s sport, we in the Robson Valley live in isolation from much of the province, and the rest of Can-ada. Policies that make sense in other areas of the province or country just don’t seem to work up here. We are a unique culture, and we have our own struggles and our own dreams.

The recent presentation from Jeannette Townsend to Valemount Village Council il-lustrates this uniqueness perfectly. A zip line for Canoe Mountain. Sounds like fun doesn’t it?

For many, the mention of any develop-ment on what was supposed to be the great Canoe Mountain Gondola brings skepti-cism, and rightfully so. We were strung along the garden path for a decade, regardless of if the developers themselves knew the project would ever reach the light of day. They say the gondola was their goal, so I take them at their word, but it’s all water under the bridge now.

So they have returned with a new idea. Why not use the already cleared right of way as a zip line? Great idea! I have often won-dered, standing at the top, what it would be like to zip down that mountain, or across the lake. It would be a pretty exciting trip, that’s for sure.

As is with any proposal for this area, I have already heard people grumble about the idea, and it seems that they are grumbling more at what happened in the past, as op-posed to what is proposed for the future. I for one would rather see something devel-oped on that property as opposed to keep-ing it vacant. A zip line may not be as grand or flashy as the original proposal, but it could be the beginning of something much greater. More variety means more visitors, right?

World cup of ideas

Dear Editor;

I just walked out of a “meeting” sponsored by the Village of McBride, regarding the recent survey about the McBride Community Forest. I had not heard any

concrete examples of the Community Forest wasting money, but I sure got an eyeful of that practice tonight.

For $40,000 ripped from the sides of our mountains, we were treated like kin-dergarten pupils and asked to repeat exactly the same exercise the recent sur-vey asked us to do: namely list the qualities we needed to see in the Community Forest Board and rate them 1, 2 and 3.

And when I asked the facilitator if these weren’t the very same questions and lists we answered on the survey, she said if I didn’t like it I could leave. So I did.

Of course, the choices offered on the papers taped to the walls did not in-clude education in the subject, independence from interference or knowledge of community forests. Nor would they include all the little extras the facilitator was squeezing out of a confused and reluctant audience.

The Community Forest can be proud to have shown so clearly how they can throw away money in these economically tough times, while refusing to allow local taxpayers to buy our own wood at affordable prices.

This has to be the biggest waste of money since the Hazard Land “survey” attempted by the Regional District some years ago. No wonder people criticize the Community Forest board and management.

Dorothy SimpsonMcBride

Waste of money

Dear Editor;

Once again the annual Vale-mountain Days Quilt show

was a big success, with one of our largest displays of quilts ever.

We want to thank everyone for the support they showed us, by buying raffle tickets, and donating to our silver collection jar at the door, which gave them a chance to win one of the many door prizes we had.

We had 84 people who chose to judge the quilts, and many more who said it was just too hard to make up their minds which ones they liked the best, but just want-ed to walk around and admire them all.

This year we had three guest quilts, two made by Elice Black-man, and one by Ishbel Cochrane, also a couple of quilts and pillow cases made by two little girls, one eight and the other ten, who are taking sewing lessons from Terri Dammann.

Pat Bennett had her sewing ma-chine set up, and was working on a quilt, so people could see the cut-ting, piecing, and sewing of a quilt in progress. This generated quite a bit of interest. Thanks Pat for that. Our raffle quilt was a Dresden Plate pattern, and was won by Tra-cy Dryden; we know you will enjoy it Tracy. We had 13 door prizes, all donated by members of the Guild, and they were won by Bonnie Markland, Jody Newham, Emma Gallop, Ruth Zimmerman, Hel-en Hansen, Maureen Brownlee, Chris Zimmerman, Bridget Kiv-ell, Barbara Zimmerman, Christy Balle, Sharon Darragh, Charlene Kroohman, and Bob Beeson.

The money made from selling the raffle tickets, and the silver collection will be used to buy fab-ric for the backing, the batting, and the quilting for the charity quilts (cancer and fire) made and donated by the Guild.

The regularly sched-uled meeting for the

Village of Valemount was held on June 8. Act-ing Mayor Murray Cap-stick, Councillors Bobbi Roe, Cynthia Piper Rita Tchir, CAO Tom Dall and Deputy Director of Cor-porate Services Sandy Salt attended. Mayor Bob Smith was absent.

Canoe Mountain Zip Line

Jeannette Townsend made a delegation on behalf of the Terracana Ranch Resort request-ing that the Mayor and Council write a letter of support to the prov-ince for the installation of a zip line through the area where the gondola was going to be built. There is currently a pro-vincial restriction pre-venting this installation. Townsend described the economic benefits of this venture and explained that the owners of the resort would dismantle the zip line if financing came through to proceed with the gondola project. Council carried a motion to bring the request to staff to write a letter of support for the project.

UNBC/Canada West Athletics Association

Council carried a mo-tion to write a letter of support for UNBC to the Canada West University Athletics Association (CWUAA). The CWUAA recently decided to deny UNBC membership.

Village Water and Sewer Extension to 17th av-enue

Council received two requests from property owners on 17th avenue who wish to connect to Village water and sewage systems. One of the ap-plicants, Giovanna Gis-limberti, also requested an extension of the Vil-lage boundary to in-clude her property, and expressed a willingness to make an adequate personal contribution towards the boundary expansion costs. Council carried a motion to re-fer the matter to staff for further consideration.

Outdoor Events at Vale-mount Visitor Centre

Council received a re-quest from Wendy Dy-son to organize some outdoor events at the Valemount Visitor Cen-tre such as community markets and art events. Council carried a mo-tion to refer the matter to Village staff to look into considerations such as possible locations and times as well as what kind of licenses might be necessary for such events.

Affordable Seniors’ Housing

Council received a joint news release from the Columbia Basin Trust and the Province of BC announcing a part-nership between the province and the CBT to construct 114 afford-able housing units for seniors and people with disabilities in eight com-munities throughout the Columbia Basin, includ-ing Valemount. CBT has committed $425,000 to-wards a total of 114 units in the eight communi-ties, while the Province

will provide $8,550,000 in cash equity. The hous-ing projects will be man-aged by local non-profit societies.

Video ConferencingCouncil carried a mo-

tion to approve the sign-ing of a contribution agreement with the Co-lumbia Basin Trust in or-der to install video con-ferencing equipment in the Council Chambers. The CBT has approved $12,240 for the pur-chase of this equipment through the Community Development Fund.

Prison Task ForceCouncil received a let-

ter from CAO Tom Dall seeking Council’s sup-port to establish a Select Committee to investigate the potential for a prison in or near Valemount. Council carried a mo-tion approving a Mayor’s Select Committee com-prised of Chris Torger-son, Ken Starchuk, Silvio Gislimberti, Murray Cap-stick and Holly Blanch-ette. The task force will look into questions such as whether federal and provincial governments are currently building new facilities, where such facilities are likely to be built, whether Vale-mount would be a com-munity of interest for the building of such facilities and what the land and infrastructure require-ments would be. The task force has two months to report back to the Coun-cil.

Saas Fee Development Inc.

Council carried a mo-tion to send a letter of support to Saas Fee De-

velopment Inc. for their Village Resort and Spa project in Valemount. The letter will be sent by Saas Fee to the lend-ers to show them that the Village still supports the project.

Strategic Plan UpdateCouncil received a

report from CAO Tom Dall which provided an update on the Strategic Plan. In accordance with Dall’s recommendation, Council carried a motion to remove three items from the active list, to be pursued later. These items are: affordable housing; the Kinbasket Weir; and the West Side Sewer Extension.

Downtown Revitaliza-tion Completion

Council received two reports from Economic Development Officer Sil-vio Gislimberti concern-ing outstanding tasks to complete the downtown revitalization project. There are several items for which no money has been allocated in this year’s budget, including an entry sign to down-town, street painting on Cedar Street and some street signs. Council car-ried a motion to refer the matter to Village staff to consider alternative funding, or deferment until next year’s budget, for these tasks.

Hydro Service ConcernsCouncil received a

report from Economic Development Officer Silvio Gislimberti about a workshop held in Mc-Bride on May 21 with representatives of BC Hydro to discuss con-cerns about BC Hydro

services to McBride and the Robson Valley. Coun-cillor Roe informed the council that there will be a similar meeting in Vale-mount on June 23rd.

Greenhouse Gas Reduc-tion Bylaw

Council carried the first and second readings of the amendment to the Official Community Plan to cover the Greenhouse Gas Reduction Plan as required by the Prov-ince. The amendment includes a statement that the Village will work towards a measurable reduction in greenhouse gases by 2015, with fur-ther reductions by 2020, through the following measures: supporting a wood stove exchange program; encouraging residents not to let their vehicles idle unneces-sarily; encouraging long haul truckers to turn off their trucks, weather permitting; promoting energy efficient build-ing; promoting alterna-

tive energy options; and where feasible, to choose low emitting and energy efficient options when buying vehicles for the Village.

Public CommentsWith respect to Terra-

cana putting in a zip line, Andru McCracken com-mented that he feels Ter-racana has failed to live up to its responsibilities to the community, and that he would like to see the Village show a great-er commitment to sup-porting local business initiatives. Jeannette Townsend vigorously disagreed with McCrack-en’s characterization of Terracana, which she considers a local busi-ness. John Grogan ex-pressed concern that the public hasn’t had more opportunity to comment on the proposed zip line before the Council de-cided to write the letter of support for the proj-ect.

The regularly scheduled meeting for the Village of McBride was held on June 8.

Mayor Mike Frazier, Councillors Loranne Martin, Irene Rejman, Mike Mosely, Rick Thompson, CAO Eliana Clements and Deputy Treasurer/Administrator Danielle Smith attended along with 16 members of the public.

PresentationResident Allan Frederick addressed

council with regards to the community forest controversy, as well as the Take back the Forest group currently challenging the community forest board and council. Fred-erick said that the information provided at the recent public meeting was very helpful and informative, but it is a shame the Vil-lage had to budget up to $36,000 to “try and satisfy some community members who, in my opinion, do not represent the majority of the overall community but only a small number of the public.” He also said he was disappointed in the way some members of the public interrupted the very people who were trying to provide answers when it “appeared that the person asking the question wasn’t going to like the answer being given.” Frederick then asked Coun-cillor Loranne Martin where the list of 44 issues raised by the Take Back the Forest Group was, and if she had submitted them to the board of to council. He then asked her “are you acting in the best interest of the Village population who elected you by withholding these issues and not bringing them forward? Are the forms that you were asked to sign to be able to be on the MCFC Board not similar to the oath of Municipal Office that you swore when elected to the Village Council?” Frederick went on to re-mind Martin that she was elected by citi-zens of the Village and not those outside of the Village boundaries, as those in the community forest footprint but outside of Village boundaries vote for and elect a Regional District Rep. Frederick continued by stating that he is concerned about the negative impact the current conflict with-in the community has had on future eco-nomic development. “I am aware of two individuals who would look at businesses within the community but are now holding off.” Frederick also cautioned the public to be wary of the Take Back the Forest group as they have only one goal, “takeover of the

Community Forest. If ever elected, they may be overwhelmed by properly taking care of the business of running the Village of McBride affairs in the best interests of the Village citizens.” He then stated that he would be willing to form a counter group that will show support for the community forest board.

Legion grant Council carried a motion to provide a

grant in aid to the McBride Legion in the amount of $457.80 which represents the general municipal portion of their 2010 tax notice. (Councillor Irene Rejman left the room out of a possible conflict of interest for this decision).

Slow pitch Council carried a motion to grant a beer

garden application for the Loaded slo-pitch team from June 18-June20 for Pio-neer Days. (Councillor Loranne Martin left the room out of a possible conflict of inter-est during this decision).

McBride Council briefs; June 8Joshua [email protected]

The Valemount Visitor Centre has kicked off its 2010 season and

the staff is very excited about show-casing everything Valemount has to offer, as well as helping visitors with travel plans for the entire Province. “We hope to see more locals come in to the Centre to take advantage of our services as well,” said super-visor, Viral Patel. What services are they offering, one might ask?

Through the Visitor Centre one can book local recreation activities, as well as adventure recreation and sightseeing tours throughout the Province. The Centre can also pro-vide discounted tickets for a wide variety of attractions; anything from general admission to Barkerville, Vancouver Aquarium tickets or lift tickets at mountain resorts is avail-able. “It’s not the variety of bookings that visitors care about; it’s the sav-ings they get. I plan on using it my-self this summer,” said Patel.

The Visitor Centre can also make accommodation reservations throughout the Province as well as Northern BC Ferry bookings. It is a B.C. freshwater fishing license ven-dor as well. So if you’re planning on exploring the Valemount Area or travelling in B.C. this summer it might be well worth dropping by the Visitor Centre first.

This year at the Visitor Centre you will also find more local crafts by ar-tisans in the Valley. What started out as a small section with local sou-venirs has now expanded signifi-cantly, said Patel. “It’s great to have work by local artisans in the Centre

because it gives people a chance to buy something you cannot find anywhere else and more important-ly because it supports the commu-nity.” Currently the Centre is host to local works by: Forest Felters, Mountain Pottery, Fox Den Vintage, Valley Mountain Wear, Glen Stanley, and Darwin Patton. The Valemount Arts and Culture Society’s Art Gal-lery will be in the Centre as of June 10, with an official open house tak-ing place on Friday, June 18th from 6:00 p.m. – 8:00 p.m.

George said that could change in the future. “As a general rule, a driver has the obligation to give right of way to those that already have it. If you’re at a stop sign you are obligated to stop until it is safe to proceed, whether the other guy is coming fast or not.” George

said that due to the location of the crash, and where the vehicles fi nal-ly came to rest, highway traffi c only experienced very minor disrup-tions, which he feels might have saved subsequent accidents on that busy stretch of highway. “We were fortunate for the location that

we had no traffi c interruptions. We were able to route westbound traf-fi c through Robson frontage road and eastbound traffi c took the westbound lane. We didn’t have to stop traffi c which saved a lot of time for people and the risk of sec-ondary incidents.”

Three seriously injured in crash (From front)

A recent theft of a sign on Loos Road has land-

owners scratching their heads. Julie Zammuto, who along with her hus-band own 200 acres along both sides of the Loos Road near Crescent Spur. “It’s vacant land but it is on both sides of the Loos Road and it runs about half a km stretch and then there’s someone else’s property and then it goes for another half a km.”

The missing sign said “No Hunting for 2 km, report poachers, reward” with the Zammuto’s phone number under-neath, she said, and was put up as a joint effort with the other land owner along that stretch of road. “It’s a 4’ by 3’ sign, and was six feet tall. The reason we put it up is because there have been hunting issues in this community over the years.”

Zammuto said there are a lot of very responsible hunters in the area, but there are also those that do not follow the rules.

“There have been issues. We have had people hunt-ing on our land before and they have been charged. We just wanted to let people know that we don’t want any trouble.” Every landowner has the right to enjoy their property how they see fi t, and for Zam-muto, she would prefer that people do not hunt on their land. “We know the majority of hunters are law abiding and do the right thing and want to do the right thing and they give no one any problems. We truly respect that. But there are a few that don’t, like with anything.”

The sign cost approxi-mately $300.00, she said, and they will be offering a reward for anyone who provides information that leads to the recovery or proof of who took it. “We just want our property back. I don’t know why anyone would trespass onto someone else’s land and steal private prop-erty.”

If anyone has any infor-mation on this incident, please contact The Valley Sentinel or Julie Zammuto.

For a sixth year, the Robson Valley Music Festival is ready to go for August 20-22. Coordinator Shara Gus-tafson said that submissions for this year’s lineup tri-pled from last year, making the selection process even harder then in years past. “Last year we had about 120 submissions and this year we have almost 400. It’s been through word of mouth and it was just overwhelming.”

The current lineup for the festival includes, as always, an incredibly diverse cross section of international, na-tional and regional talent, spanning a variety of genres, ensuring there is something for everyone. “We’re really excited to have Papagroove here. We have been trying to get them for three years. They found us on MySpace and we have been trying to get the mamas and the pa-pas together ever since.”

Other headlining acts include Kinobe and Soul Beat Africa, who are considered the new voice of Ugandan music. “They play on all hand made instruments. I saw them at the Duncan festival last year and the crowd was awestruck. They sat there with their mouths open.” Other headliners this year include Linda Mcrae, Aurora Jane and Massive Change, Brian Macmillan, Fish and Bird and the F-Holes, just to name a few.

Local acts will include Peter Allan, Jos and Joan Hughes, Bob Matchet and Pam Moul, a number of lo-cal kids and of course, Mamaguroove.

Last year’s attendance was around 1,200 people, said Gustafson, and this year they will be capping the num-ber of tickets at 1,500. “It seems to grow by three or four hundred every year, but there are only so many people we can fi t on the property.”

As always, there will be a variety of vendors selling everything from food to djembes, she said. This year they will also be adding a local vending tent, which

will be dedicated to any and all artisans from the Valley who will be working in it together to sell their creations. “We also have more children’s performances this year, as well as more workshops to accommodate more people.” Some of the topics to be explored in the work-shops include politics and music, ladies in the round, percussion, Ugandan traditional dance and song, yoga, belly dancing and independent cd production.

Tickets have been on sale for a while, said Gustafson, and are available at Infi nity in Valemount, Steadmans in McBride, the Dunster Store, Books and Company in Prince George, Pocos Café in Jasper and Blackbird Mu-sic in Edmonton. Tickets cost $65.00 up until August 1st, said Gustafson; afterwards they will cost $80.00. “We are still the cheapest music festival out there.”

More and more locals are catching on to the good time too, she said, as the crowds have been steadily growing over the years. “There are lots of people that come from Alberta. Lots and lots from Jasper, Hinton, Edmonton and Grand Prairie. There are more locals getting excited about it than the last couple of years, which is good to see, but I would still say that the ma-jority of the people are from out of town. Many stores in McBride and Valemount say that they have a huge boost that weekend.”

There is still a need for volunteers, however, so any-one interested in helping out with the little festival that could are asked to call Alaina Chapman at 250-968-4300. “We need volunteers in all areas. You can never have enough volunteers, so anyone interested can con-tact us. If they put in eight hours over the weekend or before or after they get a free pass, and if they put in over 16 hours they get to eat at the kitchen through-out the weekend. We will start having work bees in August.”

For a second year, the Canoe Mountain Gallery is opening to the public. Located in the Vale-mount Visitor Information Center, the gallery is dedicated to show-casing local artist’s creations and making them available for sale.

Currently, there are seven local artists being represented in the gallery, but more are expected as word spreads about the space. “It’s a VACS initiative,” said Vale-mount Arts and Cultural Society (VACS) member Pam Cinnamon. “We have been wanting a place for a gallery for a long time so this

space has been made available to us and we are very grateful.”

Currently there are only paint-ings being displayed, but the se-lection committee is open to any and all mediums and forms of art, said Cinnamon. “We do have requirements, because we want a certain standard of appearance, but we don’t want that to intimi-date anyone into not submitting their work.”

The works are also for sale, and visitors can purchase artwork from the staff at the visitor centre, with 25% going to the info centre and 10% going to VACS.

The Gallery will have an offi cial opening celebration on June 18,

from 5:00 p.m. – 8:00 p.m. Refresh-ments will be available, and the artists will be there to meet and greet the public.

If anyone is interested in having their artwork shown in the gallery, they are asked to call Pam Cinna-mon at 250-566-4674. “We have had really positive feedback from locals, and the visitor center staff. The idea is about exposure and providing something else for tour-ists to enjoy.”

Currently the gallery is showing works from the following artists:

ARIES - Mar 21/Apr 20

If someone has a fit this week, don’t let it ruin your days. Remember, it’s their issue and not yours. Move along with what you have planned, Aries.

TAURUS - Apr 21/May 21

Taurus, this week is one of those rare occurrences where everything falls into place and the stars are aligned. Use it to your advantage and have some fun.

GEMINI - May 22/Jun 21

You have been doing a lot of hard work at your job, but this may not be the time to ask for a raise, Gemini. Bide your time for another few days and think up your strategy.

CANCER - Jun 22/Jul 22

Friends and family are what get you through the days, Cancer. They’re of the utmost importance, so connect with some loved ones this week and reap the rewards.

LEO - Jul 23/Aug 23

Trust your powers of intuition, Leo. They rarely steer you in the wrong direction, especially this week. You finally tackle that to-do list that has been hanging on the fridge.

VIRGO - Aug 24/Sept 22

You can earn a lot of brownie points by showing others you are receptive to their feelings, Virgo. Make the focus more about them than you for the next few days.

LIBRA - Sept 23/Oct 23

You deserve better, Libra. Now go out and get the things you want and desire. Fight for yourself.

SCORPIO - Oct 24/Nov 22

Home is where the heart is, but that doesn’t mean your heart can’t be in a new space soon, Scorpio. Put all of your effort into finding that dream place.

SAGITTARIUS-Nov 23/Dec 21

The stars point to serious budgeting this week, Sagittarius. If need be, hide your wallet and your credit and debit cards and keep your purse at home. You need to save, save, save.

CAPRICORN- Dec 22/Jan 20

Don’t bottle up your feelings, Capricorn. It isn’t healthy to let all of those emotions grow stagnant inside of you. Talk with family and try to make some new friends.

AQUARIUS - Jan 21/Feb 18

Don’t take too long with chores this week, Aquarius. You simply need to get them done quickly and then move onto other obligations. Ask for help if need be.

PISCES - Feb 19/Mar 20

Get outside and socialize with other people, Pisces. You will find that chatting with others will boost your spirits.
