A tragic accident resulted in an 18-year-old bull

rider’s death at this year’s Canoe Mountain Rodeo.

Makwala Derickson-Hall, one of Canada’s up and coming bull riding champions, died as a re-sult of blunt force trauma to his chest after being bucked off his bull and stomped on during the Friday Bull-A-Rama event in front of approximately 200 spectators.

Derickson-Hall was from the West Kelowna area, and recently gradu-ated from Mount Bouch-erie High School. He was also a prolifi c participant in the BC High School Ro-deo Association, and was planning to attend the Na-tional High School Rodeo Finals in Gillette Wyoming and the Canadian High School Rodeo Finals in Virden, MB as a member of BC High School Rodeo Team.

Reaction to the tragedy was swift, with media out-lets from all over the coun-try reporting the incident almost immediately. Local reaction was also swift, and everyone who wit-nessed the incident said that the qualifi ed medi-cal attendants did every-thing they could to save the young man’s life, but his injuries were just too severe.

RCMP Corporal, Ed Bur-strom, said he was incred-ibly impressed with the response from the medi-cal personnel and rodeo

organizers. “They were working on him as hard as they could, but what they were doing wasn’t going to make a difference. They worked on him for over two hours, from here to the clinic. The staff at the clinic did an awesome job as well.”

Burstrom said that he has had some experience with rodeos, and said that he has seen some people sustain pretty major in-juries before. “I’ve seen people who shouldn’t have made it make it. Accidents are bound to happen sooner or later, and this was a freak ac-cident.” He added that

there would not be any further investigation into the incident unless the coroner requests it. “We have about 200 witnesses, so there’s no doubt what happened.”

The accident sent shockwaves through the Canoe Mountain Rodeo Committee, and head or-ganizer Bob Griffi n said

A new family oriented campsite with spectacular views of the Rockies and Cari-boos has opened in the Loos-Crescent Spur area, announced with a weekend of activities July 3. About 80 people arrived for camping and the free events, which in-cluded jet boat tours, ancient cedar forest tours and wildlife discovery tours, and for sleuthing overnight campers, geo caches to be discovered across the property. The campsite has 20 spaces for now, with room to expand. It was created by Laurella and Trevor Gabert, who own The Outdoor Life Adventure Co., now in its second year of operation in the valley.

About a 10 minute drive from Highway 16 via the Crescent Spur access road and Loos Road, the campsite is open to every-one, but also gives guests coming for tours

a place to stay and relax without having to drive there and back in the same day, says Laurella Gabert. Outdoor Life Adventure is partnering with members of the commu-nity to offer a wide variety of tours. such as ancient cedar forest, wildlife discovery, and jet boating in summer. In winter, they offer guided snowshoe and ski trips, and with Adrenaline Tours, snowmobile–snowshoe excursions near McBride.

“We’re a community oriented company that’s looking to showcase the Robson Val-ley in the Crescent Spur area because it is a really special place,” says Gabert.

The campsite is built next to the Fraser River on a field homesteaded more than 90 years ago by the Leboe family, just afer the railway went through. One of the chil-dren making the move there was Laurella’s grandfather, Bert Leboe, who was later elected several times as member of parlia-ment for this riding.

About 40 people take a guided tour of inland rainforest at Loos, lead by Julie and Rick Zammuto.

Visitors enjoy a cool blast of air during a complimentary tour to Hellroaring Falls in the Morkill Valley east of Loos.

Valemount RCMP apprehended a dangerous career criminal on Sat-

urday, July 9, after they received a tip from the Clearwater RCMP.

Corporal Ed Burstrom said that he and Constable Price were notified at approximately 4:30 p.m. by the Clear-water detachment that a suspicious vehicle was heading northbound on Highway 5. “He had been travelling around fueling his travel by stealing and selling stolen goods. They were in possession of a 2003 Dodge Ram pick-up truck that was stolen out of Golden. Clearwater RCMP received numerous complaints of an erratic driver, speed-ing, stunting, they also had a com-plaint of him trying to sell marijuana and a gps watch radio and other items. They weren’t able to intercept him and we were a lot closer, so they called us and gave us a heads up that this guy was reported to be heading in our di-rection from Blue River.”

According to Clearwater RCMP, the suspect had also been caught breaking and entering a residence in Blue River, but was chased out by the owner of the building. This gave Burstrom and Price an hour to come up with a game plan, he said, and when they spotted the truck coming north past the rodeo

grounds they initiated a traffic stop. “Constable Price pulled him over, and when he was asked to put his hands outside of the window, he took off. He was waiting for Price to get up close to the vehicle so he couldn’t get back to his cruiser as fast and the suspect could get a jump on him.”

The suspect turned on to Whiskey Fill Road, obviously attempting to evade capture, said Burstrom, who headed around to try and block his progress when Whiskey Fill meets the Canoe Forest Service Road. “I doubled around because I didn’t want him to get into Valemount while Constable Price fol-lowed him at a safe distance. The sus-pect turned down the Canoe Forest Service Road and then doubled back on Bailey Road but when he turned left onto Whiskey Fill I met him right there and blocked him. That’s where we took him down. He wasn’t going really fast but he was swerving all over the road to prevent us from getting alongside him.”

Not having anywhere to go, the sus-pect drove into the ditch, where Bur-strom and Price arrested him and his female companion at gunpoint. They immediately discovered a large knife between the driver and passenger seats, which indicated they may have been in danger had they not handled the situation as well as they did.

As a result of the arrest, 28-year-old Chris Anderson and 22 year old Triana Bourassa were arrested and charged. Anderson has an extensive criminal record, said Burstrom, and will be facing at least nine charges, includ-ing break and enter and theft, posses-sion of stolen property, evading police, dangerous driving and trafficking in a controlled substance. Bourassa will be facing at least five charges, but more may come to light as other jurisdic-tions complete their investigations. “I would hope he goes away for a long time,” said Burstrom. “He put myself at risk, he put Constable Price at risk, he put how many people on the high-way between here and Blue River on a busy weekend at risk? When we sat up on the highway we did so past the rodeo grounds and we did that inten-tionally. We chose the spot because I didn’t want him to have the opportu-nity to go into the grounds. We knew he was low on gas because one of the wit-nesses saw his low gas light on when he tried to sell him something out of the truck, so we didn’t want him going into the rodeo grounds because he would have had pick of any vehicle he wanted and countless items of personal prop-erty, or even worse. If he had’ve been driving the same way and got into the rodeo grounds someone would have been killed. It could have been a major

Major accident at Moose lakeAn accident on Friday, July 9, sent

three people to hospital and closed the highway until 6:00 a.m. the next day. Valemount Corporal Trevor Prosser said that he received a call at approximately 9:00 p.m. on Friday, and immediately at-tended the scene. “The accident occurred just east of the Moose Lake spring, and involved two pickup trucks and a trac-tor trailer. The two pick up trucks were

west bound and the semi was east bound. Somehow they collided, and one pickup truck ended up in the eastbound ditch towards the lake. The other pickup ended up on the fog line in the opposite lane and a little bit further east of that was the tractor trailer that was hauling a contain-er trailer full of 2x4’s that went all over the road.”

All the vehicles involved had single oc-cupants. They were all taken to Edmon-ton for medical treatment, with the driver of the tractor-trailer being released while the drivers of the pick up trucks remain-ing in critical condition. Prosser said the investigation is continuing, and police are waiting to speak with the injured driv-ers before they speculate further on what caused the crash. “Looking at the vehicles it could have been a two or three person fatality based on the massive amount of damage. It is still too early to contemplate charges or anything but that will come out as the investigation continues.”

Prosser said that ambulance and high-way rescue personnel from both Jasper and Valemount attended the scene, as well as two doctors that happened to be travelling through the area. The traffic an-alyst arrived at 1:30 a.m. and finished up his report by 8:00 a.m. The road remained closed while he collected his measure-ments and photographs, said Prosser.

“...it could have been a two or three person fatality based

on the massive amount of damage.”~ Trevor Prosser

Check stop garners over 300 violations

An annual event put on by the Robson Valley Traf-fic Services has garnered approximately 300 vio-lations. Corporal Trevor Prosser said that the last check stop operation oc-curred last fall, and the RCMP is planning anoth-er one for this fall.

The check stops, which were set up on July 6,7,8 and 9, were a team effort between the Commer-cial Vehicle Inspectors, the North District Traffic Unit out of Prince George and members from the Valemount Detachment. “There were nine of us in total. We were check-ing every vehicle going through.” The complete total of violations hasn’t been tabulated yet, said Prosser, as the Commer-cial Vehicle inspector’s

numbers aren’t in, and July 9ths totals have yet to be finalized due to an ac-cident that they attended that evening in Mount Robson Park. “The num-ber could be over 300, but that’s our initial estimate. We handed out 244 viola-tions up to and including July 8th.”

Prosser said that a num-ber of alarming discov-eries were made during the check stop operation. Transport truck drivers driving while impaired on alcohol or drugs, ve-hicles that were not fit for the road, and a number of significant drug seizures were some of the ma-jor events that the week long blitz uncovered. “For the most part you are checking for the obvi-ous things; alcohol in the vehicle, impaired driv-ers, whether they have a license or they don’t have

a license. The commer-cial inspectors take care of commercial vehicles, and if they need police involvement they will come get one of us.”

In total, three counts of possession of drugs for the purposes of traf-ficking were handed out, said Prosser, with one of those seizures netting a significant amount of co-caine, crystal meth, acid, marijuana and miscel-laneous pills. “When you see some of the stuff that comes out of these check stops it is alarming. We put a number of vehicles out of service, both com-mercial and private vehi-cles. A lot of brake issues on trailers, and speed is still a big issue, and we weren’t even targeting speeders.”

Prosser said that the philosophy of traffic ser-vices is moving towards

what they call corridor enforcement. We want an increased presence in the areas around the border. The idea is if you’re com-ing from the east and coming into the province every so often you will for sure see a police car on the road. So you will drive according to the fear of apprehension.”

He said that this stretch of Highway 5 is well known as a main thor-oughfare between Van-couver and Edmonton for transporting drugs and other illegal materi-als, so police presence is very important. “The check stop definitely shows that we have some issues that need to be addressed, but we’re no different than other plac-es on the highway, like Clearwater or even Mc-Bride, although Highway 16 has less traffic.”

opINIoN

For a third week in a row, events in the Rob-son Valley have made national headlines.

Obviously they didn’t make the news for the same reasons, but people are really taking no-tice of this little Valley, both for our triumphs and our tragedies.

This week it was a tragedy that flew across the country. But what I think what was missed in the coverage was the exceptional response by our local medical personnel both on the ground and in the clinics and hospitals.

No one expects something like this to hap-pen, although we all know how possible it is when riding on top of those massive bulls. It is a choice each rider makes every time they mount up, but it is the risk that drives them to do it over and over again.

Bull riding is a very dangerous sport, that’s a no brainer, and the organizations that sanc-tion these events try to engage in the activity in the safest way possible. Most of the time, it works, and everyone comes away with the adrenaline rush they get from the sport.

I can only imagine what it would be like to ride on the back of one of those gigantic beasts, and the split second of terror as you fly through the air and scramble out of the ring to avoid an accident like we saw on Friday.

So that being said, I truly hope this incident doesn’t taint the whole rodeo experience for the Robson Valley. The Canoe Mountain Rodeo has had it’s ups and downs, and is still ironing out the expected hiccups that come with try-ing to put on a three day live sporting event.

It is an incredibly entertaining weekend, and it has the potential to become a real destina-tion event for visitors to our Valley. For locals, it offers them the opportunity to not only take in some of the events that early settlers did on a daily basis, but they can even compete in front of a home town crowd. Remember last year when Dale Williams and Wes Phillips rode the bucking broncos? What a treat for their friends and families that must have been. I know I en-joyed it.

So at the end of another busy weekend in the Robson Valley, this tragic event will surely be one we remember for a long time. How we let the memory manifest itself in the way we view the Canoe Mountain Rodeo, however, will be the true test of the Valley’s character.

Everyone at The Valley Sentinel wish to offer our condolences to the family and friends of the young bull rider whose life was cut tragi-cally short on Friday. Our hearts go out to you. My only hope is that the memory of Makwala Derickson-Hall will live on in the rodeo world, and his story will be used to inspire and en-courage many more generations of young ro-deo stars in the making.

A tragic event

Dear Editor;

I would like to comment on the recent media event re-garding our Valley’s wildlife photographer’s unexpect-

ed encounter with two grizzlies. First, I wish to thank Mr. Lorenz for his photography and for the hard work that it has taken to accomplish his art form. I hope his recent scare with the grizzly bear will not deter him from utiliz-ing his talent. What I have heard about his professional work is very positive. He has been a professional wildlife photographer for almost two decades, and the videos and pictures he has taken are excellent. Not only are the videos well made and edited, they show the wildlife in a totally Canadian perspective, a completely natural per-spective that is rarely seen. This perspective is also nec-essary to preserving the Canadian wildlife as it educates the public. I have rarely seen photography of wildlife that is as good as his.

With my being new to the Valley, I have had opportu-nity to hear about him over the last three years. I have heard only positive feedback regarding his videos. In his almost two decades as a wildlife photographer, he has

become an expert on Canadian wildlife and how to re-spect it. I am disturbed by some comments written on the CBC website after he successfully deterred two griz-zlies without harming either bear or himself. There were those who say it is wrong of him to take footage of wild-life. How on earth are we to learn about or respect wild-life when we cannot find any pictures or info on them? How do you think BBC’s Planet Earth was filmed? Some of it was filmed in almost the same way Mr. Lorenz does his filming, although the Planet Earth photographers ap-pear even more invasive. National Geographic regularly has incredible photography of wildlife from around the world that was not shot from the inside of their pickup truck.

I am indebted to such professionals for helping me to experience these magnificent and fascinating creatures before I was old enough to hike the mountain trails my-self. Seeing the grizzly footage has certainly helped me have a new found awe of just how fast these creatures can move. Mr. Lorenz is not a thrill seeker. He makes

Thanks for the wonderful footage Leon

every effort not to disturb the animals he films in these mountains. The fact that he had the cool not to shoot the charging bear in the face and only fired a warning shot above the animal’s head combined with the fact that for 19 years he has never fired a shot to protect himself shows his respect for these creatures. He is married with children and values his life very highly. He is an extreme-ly responsible guy. I hope that Mr. Lorenz can get more wildlife footage very soon, although I would hope that there is no danger this time. I would hope that those of us who know what the reality of living in the “wild coun-try” is truly like will support and encourage Mr. Lorenz to continue doing what he is clearly so good at.

Thanks for a great theatre seasonDear Editor;

We would like to give a year end update and shout out to everyone who supported us this past season.

The Valemount Community Theatre Committee is still made up of six members of the Valemount Arts and Cul-tural Society, and have now been presenting in the Sec-ondary School Theatre five seasons. This has definitely been a learning process and has been exciting, some-times scary, but always gratifying.

We presented a total of seven events at the theatre, with six of them being live performances. These acts ranged from folk to country to instrumental and the last show opened with music and ended with live theatre. We are committed to providing a wide variety of cultural expe-riences for our audiences, but we are also trying to find a good balance financially. The bigger names are selling well while the lesser known acts are not as well attended.

Collaboration has been strong and included coop-eration between the schools, village office, student or-ganizations, students, and members of both VACS and the community. The result of this collaboration enabled us to offer shows, school workshops, local organization fund-raising concessions, student training for sound and lights, potluck dinners, advertising and ticket sales.

For our 2010/11 season we plan to present fewer shows than last season. We will limit ourselves to four musical acts plus the Banff Mountain Film Festival. By doing this we hope to increase the attendance at the shows we do present. Our 2010/11 season includes adventure films, country music, world music, folk, and ballet. We con-tinue to seek funding to help offset costs and to keep the ticket prices affordable for the majority of the people in the community.

We have had some incredible sponsorship from busi-nesses in town including The Best Western, Monashee Springs, The Valley Sentinel, Plain and Simple, Infinity Office and Health, VCTV, and Yellowhead Helicopters.

Of course thank you would not be complete without one to our committed core audience group and to every-one who came and took in an evening of entertainment. To the school groups who supply the refreshments and keep the intermission an enjoyable community event on its own. And to everyone else who has pitched in, you know who you are!

See you in the theatre in September.

Valemount Community Theatre Committee

Dear Editor;

The first article I read in the June 30th issue of The Valley Sentinel was the RCMP plant bust.

It was the picture that really caught my atten-tion. If there is another grow around I would like to buy a bunch.

The pain I suffer from arthritis is unbearable, and nothing kills pain like marijuana.

I could take scotch, but I would get so drunk I would probably drive my car without an licence.

I’m not a dangerous driver, but I would most likely drive over a cliff and kill myself and I don’t want to die. I still enjoy my life.

Margaret McKirdyValemount

I want some of that marijuana

that everyone is pretty choked up about what happened. “It has hit the whole committee really hard. It was a terrible ac-cident. No one expects this kind of thing to happen.”

Griffi n, who was the fi rst to reach the young rider, said that he did not respond to any medical interventions although he was attended to immedi-ately after the bull landed on his chest. He said there were over 13 qualifi ed per-sonnel immediately at-tending to the young rider. “He got hit hard. It really hurts to see something like this happen. He was so young too. Our hearts go out to the family and friends of this young man.”

Although the accident was traumatic for both spectators, organizers and participants, Griffi n said all

the proper insurance was in place, and the incident shouldn’t jeopardize any future rodeos for the area. “These boys that ride, they know the risk and they like the rush. They know what they’re doing. Anything can happen though, and they say it is the most dan-gerous sport in the world. People understand the risks. They know anyone of them could get stomped on and never walk again so every time they ride they’re taking that chance.”

As of Monday, the face-book page that was set up to celebrate and remem-ber Derickson-Hall’s life and accomplishments had over 1,300 members. Der-ickson-Hall was a member of the Okanagan First Na-tion. His family requested that his name and band status be released to the public.

Tragedy at RodeoFrom front

It is that time of year again when a group of young cyclists will stop in McBride for a night

on their journey from Austin, Texas, to Anchor-age, Alaska.

The cyclists, aged 19 to 28, are members of one of two teams participating in the Sense Corp Texas 4000 for Cancer, the world’s lon-gest annual charity bike ride. The University of Texas students are pedaling over 4,500 miles in 70 days to raise money for cancer research. The two teams, the Rockies team with 27 members and the Coastal team with 26 riders, left Austin on June 5 and are planning to reach Anchor-age on August 13. The two teams will eventually meet up in Whitehorse.

The ride’s team members are chosen each year and include students of science, art, literature and engineering, and from all walks of life. Most of the riders are new to cycling. However, there are three things that bind the team together: a desire to find a cure for cancer, prevent cancer through education, and bring hope to those af-fected by cancer.

The team members started their bike training at the beginning of February, but had already been doing team runs and fundraising since last fall. Each team member had to raise a minimum of $4,500 in order to participate - a dollar per mile of the ride. All funds go to the University of

Texas MD Anderson Cancer Centre.The cyclists will pedal into McBride between

3:00 p.m. and 3:30 p.m. on Friday, July 16.“It would be great if people gathered at the

corner of 5th and Main as a welcoming commit-tee,” said main organizer Eleanor Johnson.

The team members will spend the night in McBride in the basement of the Anglican United Church, who has hosted the ride several times already. Members of the church and local busi-nesses donate food and their time to put on a feast. “Through our outreach program, we offer them a turkey dinner and dessert on Friday eve-ning, a place to shower, sleep and work on their bikes, as well as breakfast the next morning,” said Johnson. “They are always grateful. We are trying to help out the community and those in need. We are helping those that help others. It makes you feel good for helping out.”

The team gets up at 5:00 every morning, some-times even at 4:30 am, to beat the winds. Before heading out for the day, the team holds a ride dedication every morning, where every mem-ber dedicates the day’s ride to someone special in their lives. The ride dedication is followed by a haka, which is a New Zealand term for a chant, a big bonding moment for the group. “We are invited to participate in their dedication cer-emony,” said Johnson, adding that having the Texas 4000 group come to town is very enlight-ening. “All of the members have been affected by cancer. They love to sit and talk and tell their

stories. We look forward to hearing their life stories, and they are interested to hear ours as well.”

Happy "50th" Birthday Tania

You still look as cute as ever!!Love Tami & John

My name is Elijah Ka-yuki,

I am in Uganda and I am studying and learning how to sing at Siyabonga Choir Academy. I am 13 years old and I am in pri-mary five.

My life before I was se-lected to join Siyabonga was not good. I lived with my mother, brothers and sisters. I take a long time to see my father because he has some more children elsewhere, so my mother and siblings would try so hard to have enough to eat. Food was always most worrying to get because my parents have no space to grow food.

My mother works on the streets. She sells sweeties (candy) to try and keep the whole family together and fed. Sometimes I would go with her and help sell. It used to make me feel bad when people walking on the streets don’t buy from you the sweets.

I wish my mother would get a better job, so that she can buy enough food for my siblings like we have at Siyabonga. I want all my siblings to able to go to school like me.

When I was still at home, we would sometimes spend a day without food. Sometimes, we would eat only once in a day. I could see my little siblings cry-ing sometimes, but my mother had no money to buy enough food for the day.

At home, I used to be very sad many times. We go to a little church with-out a roof. The Pastor and people are kind, but they are poor also. It is fun to meet and sing, but I nev-er felt like singing before. Now I sing every day. It is a way to chase your sadness away! All our aunties and uncles at Siyabonga love us so much. At Siyabonga,

everyone is happy and even when we are playing we are singing. It makes my heart very happy.

I have food every day here. The reason I remem-ber so much is because all us kids in Siyabonga just took a visit home because Siyabonga had so many illnesses that they used up much money and they had to let us go home for three weeks. That helped me remember that God loves me and has chosen me. Maybe one day I will help my siblings to get a better life and live like me.

I never used to smile, but after living at Siya-bonga, I love to show my teeth. God made me to smile!

Thank you my sponsor for caring for me and pay-ing money for me to go to school and to have food. I will study hard so I can help others.

Elijah

Currently there are still two children at the Siya-bonga Village that are not sponsored. Irene Froese and Megan Harstad leave July 25th with the quilts and many many donated items.

Thanks so much to ev-eryone who has given. Please, if anyone wishes to put an order in for African ‘wares’= drums, jewelry, etc. they may call us as we will have empty suitcases on our return flight. And yes, we could still take good literature, any medi-cal supplies and bandages and medication. They re-ally have a lack of all of these items. Lightly used clothing and even dried seasoning or sauce pack-ages are welcome too, as well as flashlights, board games and nerf balls.

From Our Heart

to YoursCosta Rica (CR) has captured my

heart like no man ever could. Just when I think I couldn’t love it any-more, I arrive somewhere new and fall in love with it all over again.

The last two weeks have been very unfamiliar and nothing like life in the Robson Valley, which I might add I‘m beginning to miss a little. Enchanted by the beach mist, Emily Gray and I spend our days pursuing new heights of chill in “Rasta Rica,” the Reggae capital of CR. Puerto Viejo de Talamanca, where surf Mecca meets rainfor-est, is on the Caribbean coast, just north of the Panamanian border. It is a dirt road, tourist hub and one of the most affluent, commercially viable towns on the Caribbean coast.

Semi-isolated Puerto Viejo (PV), old port, is the most Afro-Carib-bean city in CR. It has had a slow modernization similar to the Rob-son Valley, which felt like the last place on earth to get cell phone service. They finished building the road connecting it to San Jose in 1979, got electricity in 1986, phones in 1996, and Internet in 2006.

PV is CR with an Afro-Caribbean twist, serving up a Jamaican varia-tion on the typical Costa Rican (Tico) cuisine. Rice and beans here are simmered in coconut milk, mixed with Jamaican jerk flavoured meats, and coconut cur-ries. There is a real world fusion feel here, with expats from nearly every country representing their culture.

Its geographic biodiversity and cultural diversity leave it lush and thick with infinite places to ex-plore, from beach breaks to jungle blazes, and countless innovative establishments to try. Each estab-lishment is immensely diverse, taking great lengths to do some-thing different; like the Internet café that also serves liquor and shows movies on a projector.

We spent our first night listen-ing to the waves break, in a tree fort at Rocking J’s, a backpackers paradise with endless colourful mosaics, hammocks and tents for just $3.00-6.00 a night. The next night we made a bit of a splurge and spent $15.00 each on a private room and indulged in the ambi-

ance and harmonious chill of the Philippean owned, Lotus Garden, with its jungle enclosed meander-ing stone pool and Zen Buddhist atmosphere. Here we contemplat-ed why anyone would ever leave this paradise, coming up with only a few reasons, such as, the pursuit of snow, four seasons, and the in-comparable heart of the Robson Valley locals. We then finished out our days, back on budget and a block from the beach at La Dolce Vita, a hostel with private rooms, free WiFi Internet and a shared kitchen.

For a town with more or less the same population as Valemount, any night of the week you can find a plethora of venues show-casing a diverse assortment of live music. Our favorite place to chill off the beach with a drink in hand, Mango Sunsets, features lo-cal bands and jam nights a couple times a week, not to mention free daiquiris between 9:00 and 9:30 daily. The owners are a real down to earth couple that also publishes a small paper, Que Paso that you can’t help but want to support.

Johnny’s Place is arguably the most awkward disco I have ever been to. Wednesday is ladies night when they feature free drinks for the ladies from 10:00-12:00. The only catch is only ladies are al-lowed in. Men are permitted to or-der drinks from outside a window, opposite the bar. From there they sit and scope out the scene, wait-ing in anticipation for the doors to open at 12:00. There is something to be said for the tactic however, as the place almost immediately fills up with people and dancing that spills out onto the beach well into the night.

Our timing was impeccable, and the first weekend here there was a local Surf Competition at Playa Cocles, the neighbouring beach. Amongst many other surf hot-spots, Puerto Viejo is host to, “La Salsa Brava“, Angry Sauce, a leg-endary surf hole atop of the coral reef. We spent another day explor-ing the vast changing coastline, Mazanillo and the rainforest, by renting a scooter for $40, for 24 hours, with only one minor inci-dent landing us both in the sand that wasn’t unlike falling off a snowmobile into the snow.

They have a wonderful local or-ganization, ATEC, the association

for ecotourism and conservation, a nonprofit group that works on preserving heritage and ecology, while promoting tourism. It is a favorite of my guidebook, Lets Go CR: Student Guide, for budget travelling, written entirely by Har-vard Undergrads. In the Beyond Tourism section of the book, they advocate not only travelling, but also studying, or volunteering, or working, and this is the place to do it. There are a number of opportu-nities to do this here, from helping to protect animals and trees, to youth and community work.

As much as I love Puerto Viejo and Costa Rica (CR), visitors are only permitted to stay here for three months at a time, and I am nearing my three-month limit. However, I will take the expat loop-hole, do a border run and return with a passport stamp. So Em-ily, JR (an American we picked up along the way, who’s friendliness and spirit for adventure might lead you to believe he was born in the Robson Valley were it not for the Southern twang in his voice), and I are headed to Nicaragua where we will meet up and travel with other Robson Valley locals Andreas Tho-ni, Steve Gray (Emily’s brother), and a Jasperite, who lived in pass-ing, in Valemount, Jason Nichol-son. Stay tuned for Nicaraguan exploration and more Costa Rican insights. Jah Bless.

ARIES - Mar 21/Apr 20

Lead and don’t follow this week, Aries. It may be difficult to go against your normal grain, but it is for the best. Keep an open mind Tuesday.

TAURUS - Apr 21/May 21

Taurus, don’t allow your confidence to wane this week. Get a morale boost from friends and family. A meeting of great importance takes place on Saturday.

GEMINI - May 22/Jun 21

Gemini, certain things that have to get done this week will be out of your realm of expertise. That doesn’t mean you can’t try to tackle them. Just have a helper on hand.

CANCER - Jun 22/Jul 22

Cancer, there’s so much that needs to get done you don’t know where to start. Making a list of your tasks will help you better cross one thing off at a time.

LEO - Jul 23/Aug 23

If you can’t laugh at yourself, Leo, it will be harder to maintain successful relationships. Things can’t always be serious; lighten up. Virgo offers a clash of personalities.

VIRGO - Aug 24/Sept 22

Virgo, give yourself a much-deserved break. You’ve been working so hard for the last few months. Now is the time for a vacation or a weekend away from everything.

LIBRA - Sept 23/Oct 23

Libra, you don’t have the answers to everything so seek help from others. Relationship woes leave you in a funk, but it’s just a temporary bump in the road.

SCORPIO - Oct 24/Nov 22

Scorpio, it will be difficult to contain your frustration but that’s what you have to do this week. Soon you may need to take matters into your own hands and face the results.

SAGITTARIUS-Nov 23/Dec21

Sagittarius, take a few days to get all of your affairs in order. There have been a lot of changes lately, and you haven’t had a chance to wrap your head around them.

CAPRICORN- Dec 22/Jan 20

Burning the candle at both ends again, Capricorn? You have to learn that this isn’t the best way to get things done. Consider the consequences and take things easy.

AQUARIUS - Jan 21/Feb 18

Aquarius, you can’t put your finger on it but something just seems out of sorts. The truth could reveal itself in the next few days. In the meantime, focus on outdoor fun.

PISCES - Feb 19/Mar 20

Pisces, fight against the current rather than give in to the situation at hand. Unexpected events arise late in the week.
