STRAUSS CLAIMS VICTORY By Jeremy Deutsch STAFF REPORTER

jeremy@kamloopsthisweek.com

It may only be a simple-eight digit number but, for a popular natural health-product maker in Kamloops, it’s a lifeline. After battling federal regulators for seven years, Strauss Herb Company has won a major victory for its most popular product — Strauss Heartdrops. Health Canada has given the product a thumbs-up and, more importantly, a much needed Natural Product Number (NPN). Bill Carey, vicepresident of sales for Strauss Companies, said the NPN for the drops now allows the company to sell the product in major chains across the country. Previously, the drops were sold in smaller

independent stores and online, but the big chains were reluctant to stock the product without Health Canada’s seal of approval. “It opens the door to all the people that said no,” he said. Though pleased the drops, which make up 90 per cent of Strauss’s business, have been approved, company vice-president Brian Kettle is frustrated with the amount of time it took and the treatment received by Health Canada. The company applied for an NPN in 2005 following the introduction of new federal natural health-product regulations, However, after years of testing, Health Canada, through the Natural Health Products Directorate, turned down the application on sev-

eral occasions. The final decision from Health Canada came down in December. It was the last straw for Strauss Companies, which had filed a lawsuit against the federal agency.

Then, inexplicably, Health Canada relented and, on March 1, the Kamloops company officially received the NPN. Kettle said it remains unclear as to why the drops were under so much scrutiny while

other natural products from competitors were quickly approved. He noted Health Canada had only received three complaints about Strauss Heartdrops, due to rashes, in 10 years. But, the NPN couldn’t have come soon enough for Strauss Companies. Kettle said the company spent nearly $7 million over the years on testing, legal fees and the application. X See DENIAL A10

It’s been talked about for years and now more details have been released on a Telus data centre planned for the Tournament Capital. The communications giant announced on Monday, March 5, that it plans to start construction on the data centre later this year, with the $75-million facility opening sometime in 2013. The centre will be built on former School District 73 land near Thompson Rivers University. “In these economic times, investments of these types aren’t common at all, so it’s very significant,” said Josh Blair, executive vice-president of human resources for Telus. In total, the company is expected to invest $100 million in Kamloops during the next three years. The data centre will employ 200 people during the construction phase and another 75 once complete. The facility is being described as a giant centre filled with bays of equipment to store all kinds of data, from health information to business and banking data. It will be one of

two Telus data centres in the country, the other located in Rimouski, Que. It’s expected the two centres will back each other up in case of a problem. Blair said Kamloops was chosen because of its access to talent at TRU, its proximity to other locations within the Telus infrastructure and the city’s lack of seismic activity. Telus will also be spending another $25 million to extend its 4G LTE network in Kamloops and to extend its Optik TV coverage area in the city by 6,000 households. The company said the 4G LTE is the fastest wireless technology in the world. Telus is also calling the facility one of the greenest data centres in the world, noting it will be built to LEED Gold standard. Mayor Peter Milobar called the centre a “significant shot in the arm” for the local economy. He said the centre sends a strong message to the investment world that Kamloops is a good place to do business. The project is part of the company’s larger $3-billion infrastructure investment recently announced for B.C.

TIB, city want CN to help bridge river gap By Jeremy Deutsch STAFF REPORTER

jeremy@kamloopsthisweek.com

It’s been 200 years since the fur traders who settled Kamloops first came in contact with the First Nations that lived in the area. Two centuries later, politicians on both sides of the river are hoping to bridge the two communities literally — with a walking span across the Thompson. The idea to build a walking bridge from Tk’emlups Indian Band land to Riverside Park — in an effort to keep people off the CN Rail bridge — has been in the works for years. But, after little movement on the project, both the City of Kamloops and the TIB have agreed to use their political muscle to pressure the railroad to build a pedestrian crossing. At a meeting at Sun Rivers between Kamloops city council and TIB on Monday, March 5, the two governments

agreed to write a joint letter to CN Rail outlining their interest in construction of a bridge. Tk’emlups Indian Band Chief Shane Gottfriedson said the bridge is an issue of safety for his people, noting many use the CN Rail bridge as a shortcut. He urged Kamloops city council to work with the band to pressure the railroad into building the structure. “I don’t understand why it’s so hard for it to happen,” Gottfriedson said, suggesting a bridge could cost up to a halfmillion dollars. Mayor Peter Milobar agreed CN Rail needs to join the project, but added the city has no budget to pay for a bridge. Milobar said CN Rail has embarked on similar projects in smaller communities where a crossing is a safety issue. “I don’t understand why a larger centre should be treated differently than a smaller centre from a CN [Rail] corporate point of view,” he said.

Horses trotting off and into history Though one major Tk’emlups Indian Band project is slowly picking up steam, a longtime tradition appears to be scratched. The TIB has hired a consultant to help redevelop the Kamloops Exhibition Association grounds. The plan effectively puts an end to horse racing in Kamloops. “I don’t see horse racing happening this year,” Gottfriedson said. He said the band has been subsidizing the grounds for between $100,000 and $200,000 a year, noting its current operation is not economically viable. Gottfriedson didn’t specify exactly what the land would ultimately become once redeveloped. The city and band are also working to finalize transit service to the reserve. The two sides will meet with BC Transit on March 19 to confirm routing and scheduling. The TIB is expected to receive 3,540 hours of conventional service, with the band and BC Transit picking up the $235,000 tab. Meanwhile, the TIB is working on plans to upgrade and realign the intersection leading to the Chief Louis Centre. The project is expected to cost $1.5 million and is part of a major redevelopment of the area near the centre.

LOCAL NEWS Silver & Gold

Unwelcome squirrels arrive tim@kamloopsthisweek.com

They might look cute and harmless, but don’t be fooled — an invasive squirrel species new to the Kamloops area could mean bad news for the local ecosystem. The eastern grey squirrel has recently found its way to the Tournament Capital and that has a Thompson Rivers University wildlife and ecology professor concerned. “We’re dealing with an invasive species that is notorious around the globe for its ability to establish itself in different places and different ecosystems,” Karl Larsen told KTW. “The big concerns potentially, if we look at what they’ve done elsewhere, they’ve displaced local wildlife, they’ve spread disease, they’ve damaged crops and they will eat other wildlife.” Eastern grey squirrels are distinctive in a few ways, Larsen said. For starters, they’re big — about twice the size of the native red squirrels Kamloops residents are used to seeing around the community. The other giveaway — as the name would indicate — is their colouring. “Eastern grey squirrels can be either grey

or black,” Larsen said. “I always explain it to people that it’s like black bears — they can be either black or brown.” Red squirrels are also much more territorial than their eastern grey counterparts, meaning the invasive species is more likely to be seen congregating in large groups, while red squirrels generally go about their business on their own. That trait, Larsen said, also poses problems because it could mean much denser squirrel populations in a given urban environment, leading to any number of ecological impacts. Larsen said it’s still unclear how the unwanted newcomers showed up in Kamloops, but it was likely by way of Vancouver, where they’ve been established

for some time. Native to the eastern part of North America, the squirrels are believed to have arrived in B.C. initially as a gift given by the City of New York to the City of Vancouver. They first established themselves in Stanley Park, but eventually spread outward across the Lower Mainland. From there, Larsen said, it would have been easy for a group of the squirrels to hitch a ride aboard a truck or trailer to the Interior. In addition to Kamloops, eastern grey squirrels are also making their presence known in Kelowna and on Vancouver Island. Larsen said he believes the squirrels’ numbers in Kamloops are lower than those in Kelowna and Victoria, but that could change. And, if it does, it could be big trouble for other local wildlife. “They’ll predate on songbirds and songbirds eat insects,” Larsen said. “There are all kinds of problems that could come from that and get more elaborate.” The invasive rodents are also known to eat fruit — something that poses a larger risk for farmers in the Okanagan, but could still create problems in and around Kamloops. According to Larsen, an example of what

could happen if the squirrels are left to run free is playing out right now in Europe. “In Italy, they’ve impacted a lot of the agricultural products,” he said. “They let it go for too long and the population became too large — and now they can’t eradicate them.” Larsen is asking local residents to keep an eye out for eastern grey squirrels and to notify researchers of any sightings. “Eventually, we’ll

get an idea of how many there are and where they are,” he said. “Then, a decision will have to be made higher up [by government officials] about what to do.” Anyone who spots an eastern grey squirrel in or around Kamloops is asked to call 1-866-INTRO-SQ (1-866-468-7077).

Kamloops MP Cathy McLeod wants to wait for the conclusion of an Elections Canada investigation before deciding on whether to use in the future the company involved in the robocall scandal embroiling Ottawa. The KamloopsThompson-Cariboo Conservative MP acknowledged she used the services of RackNine Inc. during the last federal election campaign, but said she is unaware of any issues in the local riding. McLeod said she used the company during the first week of the campaign to call people to ask for support and volunteers on her campaign. “This is a fairly effective way to get out a lot of calls in a short period of time,” she told KTW. According to Elections Canada’s campaign-financing summary for the rid-

ing, McLeod spent $328 in the May election for RackNine’s services. She said only a few companies have the technology and capacity to do the work.

The issue of robocalls came into the spotlight in recent weeks after residents in a Guelph, Ont., riding complained of misleading robocalls, which directed them

to the wrong polling station. Since then, it’s been reported Elections Canada has had more than 31,000 complaints from as many as 70 ridings across the country. When KTW asked McLeod why she didn’t use local volunteers to do the calling, she said she did use some, but the robocall service was a cost-effective way of reaching thousands of households in the riding. She explained RackNine has the technology to deliver the phone calls, but it was her message recorded on the calls and sent out to residents. She said she has heard from some supporters who weren’t happy about receiving the robocalls, but added it is up to each candidate during a campaign to weigh the value of engaging in the practice. The MP said she supports the Elections Canada investigation, adding if anyone is

Some high-school students in Kamloops took part in a walkout on Friday, March 2, to support teachers in their labour dispute with the provincial government.

Debate could last two weeks Unless teachers violate a Labour Relations Board ruling and extend their strike beyond Wednesday, March 7, the debate on legislation ending their withdrawal of service could stretch into next week before becoming law, according to B.C. Liberal house leader Rich Coleman. In weekend interviews, B.C. Teachers’ Federation president Susan Lambert wouldn’t rule out teachers staying off the job beyond three consecutive days this week granted by the LRB ruling on essential services.

The LRB ruling also allows for one day off the job in following weeks. Coleman said as long as the teachers’ union follows the LRB ruling, he sees no reason to accelerate passage of Bill 22, which carries the threat of heavy fines for further strike action by teachers once it is passed. NDP house leader John Horgan said opposition MLAs will hold up passage of Bill 22, which would extend the current BCTF contract terms and permit the appointment of a mediator in the

year-long dispute. NDP MLAs expect to speak for the maximum 17 hours they are permitted, which would likely extend the debate into next week. Education Minister George Abbott said the three-day strike allows teachers to “vent” their hostility toward the government before returning to classrooms. Abbott says Bill 22 is complex and deserves a full debate. The legislation changes the rules for hiring teachers as well as dealing with class size and special needs support.

B.C. Teachers’ Federation is indoctrinating schoolchildren

ERHAPS THE SINGLEmost ridiculous stunt in the lead-up to this week’s teachers’ strike was pulled at an elementary school in Victoria. A teacher gave her Grade 1 class an assignment for Anti-Bullying Day: Take crayons in hand and write to Education Minister George Abbott, demanding he stop bullying their teacher and address class size and composition. This North Korea-style political indoctrination of six-year-olds was a mistake, according to the local teachers’ union boss, who vaguely indicated the unnamed teacher would apologize to parents. Is this self-serving abuse of teacher authority an isolated incident? My experience as a parent and journalist suggests it is not and recent events support that. By Friday, students across B.C. were skipping class in solidarity with their teachers, led by budding campus radicals suddenly conversant with B.C. Teachers’ Federation talking points about Bill 22. This left-wing groupthink pervades the education system from public schools through taxpayer-supported colleges and universities. After a couple of generations of this indoctrination, almost everyone “knows” government under-funding is at the heart of every school problem, standardized testing is an assault on the fragile self-esteem of students and reducing class size is the top priority for improving educational outcomes. All of this is glaringly false union propaganda, reinforced in classroom “current affairs” discussions.

TOM FLETCHER Our Man in

VICTORIA Don’t believe me? Google “Study: Class size doesn’t matter” for the latest on a growing stack of scientific evidence that shows you and your children are being force-fed lies. B.C. Teachers’ Federation president Susan Lambert announced the strike on live TV with a remarkable string of rhetoric about the “Orwellian” legislation that will soon put an end to this teacher tantrum. The government needs to negotiate “clearly, rationally and respectfully,” said the boss of union representatives who have spent the last year insulting the taxpayers’ negotiators by telling them to “go back to your masters” and get a couple of billion more. Clearly? It was the BCTF that announced its work-to-rule plan for the fall and then took the summer off. It was the BCTF that didn’t even present its outrageous 16 per cent wage increase demand until January, a full 10 months after formal negotiations began, and accompanied it with a false costing. Orwellian? At a sparsely attended

rally on the legislature lawn, local teachers’ unions marched out their most strident tame trustee to demand the government “come to the table” with billions. One teacher in the crowd held up a large sign adorned with three mug shots: Premier Christy Clark, ex-premier Gordon Campbell and Benito Mussolini, to illustrate a multiple-choice question about “fascism.” This teacher should be assigned to write an essay about the Italian dictator’s formative years and his schooling in particular. In Vancouver, a protesting teacher got big media play, holding up a sign proclaiming that “it’s not about a wage increase, it’s about classroom conditions.” This, too, is a lie. The BCTF trotted out its standard “children-first” rhetoric, then tabled its breathtakingly out-of-touch benefit demands. It doesn’t take a math teacher to see what its $2-billion wage and benefit fantasy would actually do to classroom conditions. For his part, Abbott started out pretty keen about students and parents heading down to occupy their local school and replace striking teachers with volunteers for a couple of days. But, he changed his tune after the support-staff union started grumbling about parents colouring too close to their craft lines. One fight at a time, I guess.

In a labour dispute, reason and sensibility are often the first casualties. That’s certainly been the case with the teachers’ dispute, which escalated into a full-blown strike this week. The two sides have been bargaining, perfunctorily, for close to a year. Far apart at the beginning, they have made little progress, partly because the B.C. Teachers’ Federation has never agreed that its members should be subject to the net-zero mandate which the government has applied to other labour negotiations. This dispute shouldn’t be about wages. Teachers have some very strong arguments in their favour — n including a B.C. Supreme Court ruling — that point to serious problems with class size and the number of special needs students in classrooms. Liberal government commercials heralding the establishment of new funds for such items seem to overlook the fact that it is money it previously took away. Both sides should be willing to give up something to improve class size and composition. It goes to the heart of whether students are actually progressing while in school. The BCTF went on a two-week illegal strike in 2005 over it and enjoyed a fair amount of public support. This time around, support is more muted. Even though class size and composition remain as important issues, the demands for 15 per cent wage increases and other additional benefits have turned off some members of the public. Without doubt, this strike is punishing students, many of whom have already faced challenges because of the lack of report cards and lack of consultation with parents. At the same time, teachers are punishing themselves. They will lose three days’ pay, which they are unlikely to make up. There is no need for a six-month cooling off period, as the government proposes. Both sides should be locked in a room and made to come up with a settlement, and soon. Unfortunately, the BCTF appears to love knockdown, drag-out fights. It’s happened so many times in the past that no other interpretation is possible. Governments, too, relish such fights. Meanwhile, one fact remains incontrovertible. Students and parents are caught in the middle, and B.C.’s oncevaunted reputation as a place of excellence in education is taking a beating.

Re: Bass column” Dear son: I’m sorry my job as a teacher has affected you: “I’m sorry this teacher feels sorry. There are many out there in the workforce who feel the same as he does. “Pick any sector and you will find those burdened with work, with not enough pay and with little time to spend with family. There are many out there who work hard, only to find there’s little to put toward furthering education for their children. “There are many who work all hours of the day with little, if any, vacation pay — especially for those who own their own businesses. He’s not alone. “So, he may not be able to change his pay for the job he does (and I’m not saying it’s an easy one, it’s not). He can, like the rest of us, change his outlook. “Most of the time, it’s recalibrating within ourselves why we chose to do the job in the first place. “Neither the government, nor the union, can change his relationship with his family, but he can. “Be grateful for what you have! “All of us could be more so. Easier said than done, but true nonetheless.” — posted by Lori Hansen Quinton

How can learning second language not be good? Editor: Re: The Feb. 28 letter from H.W. Druskee regarding the French immersion program in School District 73 (‘Neighbourhood schools for neighbourhood kids’): I do not need to justify my decision to educate my children in the French language to anyone — ever. However, I do believe it is a good opportunity to educate the fools who think there is something wrong with the French language. My husband and I agonized over what was the best school to put our first child into last year. We were fairly certain we wanted her to attend French immersion, but did not take the decision lightly. In doing some research, we found that, because she will be fluent in French, she will most likely earn a higher wage due to having an extra language. Why on earth wouldn’t I want that for her?

The English school system does teach French, but the children by no means graduate fluent in the language. If that were the case, everyone in this country would be bilingual and we know that is not true. Why do people have such a bad feeling toward learning the French language? No one has ever complained to me or had me justify my decision to put her in skating, swimming, soccer or dance classes. Why is it such a big deal that I would like her to learn an extra language? My husband travels for work and he spent a lot of time in Algeria, where they assumed he spoke French because he was Canadian. It didn’t bother him, though, because he was in another country. When he was in Quebec and had to get the guy behind him in line to order his coffee, he was upset that he could not speak the language in his own country. Our girls will be able to travel anywhere

in Canada and order a coffee or get help wherever they are because we chose to give them the gift of another language. As for them struggling with another language, that is just not the case. We are blown away by the amount of French our five-year-old already knows. I am going to have to take a French class to keep up with her. I am willing to do that because I love her and want the best for her. I called the school-district office and asked how much more it costs to send my child to French immersion. The answer? It doesn’t. They get the same funding per child regardless of whether it is a French or an English school. Even if that were an issue, Druskee fails to recognize we also pay taxes and have every right to educate our children as we see fit. Michelle Blundell-Dunkerley Kamloops

A week in the life of a ‘lazy’ and ‘greedy’ teacher Editor: If you are listening to the media, you have heard B.C. teachers are greedy and lazy. This must be true, because the provincial government says so. I am a B.C. teacher, so let me tell you how greedy and lazy I am. I am so greedy that I buy books (numbering in the hundreds), seasonal decorations and posters for my classroom with my own money. I’m also so greedy that I buy small gifts for my prize box for children when they show exemplary behaviour or when they have their birthdays — also on my own dime. In fact, I’m so exceptionally greedy that I stock up monthly on snack packs (tuna and crackers) and juice boxes for the students in my class who regularly

come to school without a lunch. I am so greedy and lazy that I show up to work at 6:30 a.m. and leave at 4 p.m. each working day (8.5 hours a day, 45 hours a week). I am so lazy that I give up three lunch hours a week to make sure students at my school get to participate in enrichment activities, such as Battle of the Books and science fair, or just so they can have a quiet place to work. I am so lazy that most of the other lunch hours and recesses are spent helping students with difficult material or sorting out social problems between students (that bumps it up to 9.5 hours a day, 50 hours a week). I am so lazy that I attend extra professional-development sessions and workshops than the ones required so I can improve my teaching.

I am so greedy and lazy that, at report-card time, I send my husband and two small children away to my inlaws (in a different city) so I can spend 20-plus hours (on top of my regular nine-hour school day) to write quality feedback that will tactfully and effectively inform parents about how their child is performing and how they can improve. I am so lazy and greedy that I am fighting for improving (or, heck, just maintaining) classroom conditions — for my children and yours. The provincial government and some other individuals have a pretty interesting definition of “greedy” and “lazy”. Christine Miller Kamloops

The company also saw its sales plummet â&#x20AC;&#x201D; to $1.6 million annually from $8 million annually prior to 2005, due to competition from other products on the market that have an NPN.

One of the ingredients in the Strauss Herb Company Heartdrops is the festive plant. But, depending on where it comes from, it could contain toxins. There are two types of mistletoe â&#x20AC;&#x201D; a North American and a European version. The one from this side of the pond is considered toxic, while Europeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s plant is deemed safe. The drops contain mistletoe from Europe, but Strauss Companies had to prove the safety of the

ingredient for seven years as part of an application to have the product get full Health Canada approval. That application led Strauss to embark on two studies related to the plant. The first was developing a photo essay of the two varieties of mistletoe, which now helps to easily distinguish between the two types. The company said every batch of mistletoe used in Strauss Heartdrops is tested to ensure its European authenticity. The second involved a study that ultimately determined there are no toxins in the European version of mistletoe. In some European countries, the plantâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s extract is used to treat cancer.

Miller out but under restrictions Controversial student barred from campus at night By Tim Petruk STAFF REPORTER

tim@kamloopsthisweek.com

Adrian Miller is out of jail. After more than a week behind bars, the Thompson Rivers University studentpolitician was released on strict bail terms on March 2, including an order barring him from going near campus at night. The 26-year-old was arrested on Feb. 23 for charges alleging he breached his bail by sleeping in TRU computer labs. He was under conditions ordering him to let his probation officer know where he would be living. The court heard Miller told the probation officer he was staying with a friend at Upper College Heights, but the address he gave turned out to be fake. He then told Kamloops provincial court Judge Stephen Harrison he was confused, but had been couch-surfing with friends at the nearcampus student apartments. TRU security, however, alleges Miller was found numerous times sleeping in cam-

pus computer labs — including a midnight to 7:30 a.m. stay on Feb. 21, all of which was apparently caught on video surveillance. It turns out Miller was actually staying with an acquaintance at a Holt Street address in North Kamloops — something that never came up during his original bail hearing. Crown prosecutor Catriona Elliott said the friend-of-a-friend eventually kicked him out. “She wanted him to leave,” the lawyer said. “He was on her couch and she had to drive him everywhere,

and she was glad to get rid of him.” Miller is facing a number of charges, including multiple breach counts for separate offences and five additional charges relating to the alleged theft of jewelry from his previous landlords. The Crown has said Miller pawned the jewelry. Court documents filed at the Kamloops Law Courts also show Miller was interrogated by police following an armed robbery at a North Shore pawn shop earlier this month. Harrison agreed to release Miller on bail,

Diane Schuetze was one of three TRU athletes named to an all-star team last week.

No three stooges By Marty Hastings SPORTS REPORTER

sports@kamloopsthisweek.com

Three members of the TRU WolfPack have been named to all-star teams. Diane Schuetze, a 6-foot-3 post player with the WolfPack women’s basketball team, was named a Canada West first-team all star. “It has been an amazing season,” she said. “Making playoffs for the first time as a team and now this. It’s amazing.” Schuetze is the first WolfPack woman to be named a first-team all star since TRU joined the Canadian Interuniversity Sports ranks seven years ago. “We are all very proud of Diane,” said Scott Reeves, head coach of TRU’s women. “Diane would be the first to tell you she didn’t get this award on her own and she is very appreciative and thank-

ful to her team for making this happen.” Schuetze was the third-best rebounder in the conference, averaging 8.9 boards per game. She was third in offensive rebounds with 3.2 per game and fourth in defensive rebounds with 5.8 per game. Meanwhile, Justin King of the WolfPack men’s basketball team was the first secondteam all star in that program’s seven-year history. The Las Vegas product led the Canada West in scoring, appearing in 16 games and scoring 370 points (23.1 per game). He was also the best free-throw shooter and defensive rebounder in the conference. “It’s nice for Justin to be recognized for the amount of work he has put into basketball in high school, college and university,” WolfPack head coach Scott Clark said. Finally, Brad Gunter

was a bright spot in a forgettable season for the TRU men’s volleyball squad. He was named to the CIS All-Rookie Team at an awards breakfast held at Queen’s University. “Brad had a great year,” TRU head coach Pat Hennelly said. “He was injured in the second half of the season. Before that, he was exceptional against a good Stanford team in January and I thought he was poised to have a great second half. He was our best outside hitter for long stretches of the first half through some very tough weekends.” The 6-foot-7 Courtenay product became the fifth WolfPack player to be named to the AllRookie Team. He follows in the footsteps of Robin Schoebel, Gord Perrin, Josh Boruck and Kevin Tillie. — With files from TRU

Handball club invades Abbotsford “I didn’t know what to expect in this game,” KTHC coach Peter Hilton said. “Our women’s team has only been practising with our men’s team and it was difficult to gauge their development but, especially on defence, they were very strong.” Flo Simon and William Malme led the Kamloops A men with three goals each, while Jesse Buswell, Mike Eibl, Nemo Mat, and Peter Hilton added singles. The men’s B team, comprised mostly of players new to the sport, was led by Nicholas Ernst, who scored six goals.

Adam Rainey, Lyndon Morrow and Mixon Madland had two goals apiece, while Sean Duffee and William Brazil added singles. “We were up 9-6 at halftime, but were down 13-14 with less than a minute left,” Hilton said. “Goalkeeper Dan Bott made some key saves for us down the stretch. I think a tie was a fair result.” Kamloops is hosting Vancouver on March 31 at noon in the Thompson Rivers University Gym. Fans get in free. Call Hilton at 250-314-4050 for more information about the club.

In Loving Memory of

Edna Hellen Molett Apr. 6, 1937 - Feb 26, 2012

Mrs. Edna Hellen Mollett passed away at the age of 74 at Royal Inland Hospital with her family at her side in Kamloops on Feb. 26, 2012. Edna was born on Apr. 6, 1937 to Frank and Agnes Clemes. She grew up in Spences Bridge with her older sister Donna. She married Mr. Louie Molett on Dec 24, 1979 and were happily married for 30 years. She worked in the laundry at RIH for 26 years. She enjoyed all the girls down there and making each day a happy one for everyone. When Edna wasn’t working she enjoyed spending her time with her family and close friends camping, fishing, hunting, and travelling. She had a great love for her family and kept a positive attitude for life no matter what happened. She had a big heart with room for everyone that loved without exception. Edna is survived by her sister Donna, son Harold, grandchildren Mandy, Derek, and Sean, and great grandchildren that brought her so much joy in her later years. She is pre-deceased by her husband Louie Molett, in 2009. Goodbye my family, my life is past. I loved you all to the very last. Weep not for me, but courage take Love each other for my sake For those you love don’t go away They walk beside you every day.

By son Harold and Crystal Mom will be sadly missed. At Edna’s request there will be no service. Internment will occur at a later date. Donations can be made to the S.P.C.A. And thank you to all the girls in dialisis for looking after her!

1922-2012 Albert Sangster (Al) Davidson passed away peacefully at home on Sunday, February 26, 2012 in his 91st year. He was predeceased by his beloved wife, Jeanne. He will be sadly missed by his son, Jim of Kamloops, daughter, Jacqueline White (Graham) of Parksville, grandchildren Tracy Loewen and Matthew Loewen (Danielle) and three great grandchildren Reese, Spencer and Autumn. Al was born in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan on January 28, 1922. He and Jeanne were high school sweethearts and they were married in Saskatoon on May 6, 1944 while he was home on leave from the Royal Canadian Navy. Al served his country during World War II in the North Atlantic, the Mediterranean and Esquimalt. After the war, Al and Jeanne moved to Vancouver and then to Chilliwack. In Chilliwack, he was very involved with the Masonic Lodge, serving as Worshipful Master, and with the Order of the Eastern Star, where he was Worthy Patron. In 1966 the family moved to Blue River where Al and Jeanne operated the Davidson Motelodge until 1971 when they moved to Kamloops. Al then began a career in real estate – both in sales and appraisals. Al loved sports both on television and playing them. He was what you would call a sports fanatic, even watching the most obscure sports when his favourites weren’t on TV! He was an avid golfer and curler and played in seniors’ slow pitch, playing these sports as long as his health permitted. No service at his request. Cremation and arrangements were handled by Kamloops Funeral Home. In lieu of flowers, please send donations to the Royal Inland Hospital Foundation, 311 Columbia Street, Kamloops, B.C. V2C 2T1 or the charity of your choice. Arrangements entrusted to Kamloops Funeral Home 250-554-2577 Condolences may be emailed to the family from www.kamloopsfuneralhome.com

GWENDELINE (GWEN) OLIVE MILLER In the early hours of Tuesday, February 28, Gwen Miller passed away peacefully in her sleep. She had been admitted to Royal Inland Hospital a couple of days earlier after a fall and was under observation. Gwen was 95 years old at the time of her passing. Gwen is survived by her loving children, Jack (Verna) Miller, Christine (Joe) Kenward, and Elizabeth (Dwayne) Burdeniuk; grandchildren Anthony Miller, Dustin (Virika) Miller, Joey Kenward, Nicola (C.J.) Baker, Alyson (Jeff) Van Humbeck, and Michael Burdeniuk; and great grandchildren, Annika Miller and Ross Miller. She is also survived by sister-in-law Rhona Baker of the Hamlets and many nieces and nephews. She was pre-deceased by husband Wilson Miller, Brother Sid Baker, sister Renee Carswell and her parents Louis and Gertrude Baker. Gwen was born in Winnipeg, Dec.26, 1916, but because her father was an Engineer for the CNR, she spent much of her early childhood moving west, eventually arriving in Kamloops in 1927. She attended Stuart Wood Elementary School and later Kamloops High, graduating from Grade 12 in 1936. She attended Vancouver Normal School, completing the requirements for a Teaching Certificate and took up her first teaching position in Lytton in 1938. She met her husband Wilson while in Lytton. They were married in Kamloops in 1941, and then moved east when Wilson joined the RCAF during WWII. After the war, they returned to Lytton, where they purchased a general store, which they operated together until the late 1960’s. Gwen went back to teaching in 1963 and was thrilled to return to the career she loved. They made many life-long friends while in Lytton, and Gwen touched the lives of many children during her time teaching there. In 1969 they moved to Merritt where Gwen taught until her retirement in 1980. In 1994 Gwen moved into a condo where she lived until she made the decision to move back to Kamloops to Cariboo Manor in 2004. She spent her last years in the Hamlets, enjoying an active and enjoyable life. Over the years Gwen was a Guide leader, very active in the Anglican Church, the Rebecca Lodge, and as a member of the Retired Teachers Association. She loved to sing and play the piano and continued to do so in her final years at the Hamlets. A Memorial Service will be held at 11:00 am on Friday, March 9, 2012 at St. George’s Anglican Church, 308 Royal Avenue in North Kamloops, BC, the Reverend Isabel Healy-Morrow officiating. There will be no interment. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the St. George’s Church Sunday School, sent to St.George’s Anglican Church Sunday School, 308 Royal Avenue, Kamloops, BC, V2B 3P5. Arrangements entrusted to Kamloops Funeral Home 250-554-2577 Condolences may be emailed to the family from www.kamloopsfuneralhome.com

FREDRICK FRANKLIN (FRANK) CLARK Frank passed away February 22, 2012 at Royal Inland Hospital, Kamloops. Frank was born January 17, 1938 in Winnipeg, Manitoba. He grew up and went to school in Kamloops, and inherited his love of music and of animals from his parents. He was predeceased by his parents Dr. George Maurice and Carrie Elizabeth, his sister Georgina and his brother Maurice. He is survived by his sister-in-law Margaret Clark, his nieces Catherine Robertson (Stan), Karen Robertson (Ed), Debbie Doudiet (Lyn), and nephews Alan Clark and Carmen Robertson. He is also survived by many relatives in Manitoba. Frank had brilliant careers in dog breeding, showing and judging, winning many awards, and in teaching and performing as a professional figure skater, travelling throughout the United States, Europe and the far East. Over the years, he enjoyed singing in several choirs in Kamloops.

A reception and social time with refreshments will follow. Interment of Frank’s cremated remains will take place with those of his Mother and Father near Cypress River, Manitoba.

One Final Gift Scatter me not to restless winds, Nor toss my ashes to the sea. Remember now those years gone by When loving gifts I gave to thee. Remember now the happy times The family ties we shared. Don’t leave my resting place unmarked As though you never cared. Deny me not one final gift For all who come to see A single lasting proof that says I loved... and you loved me. Author Unknown

Harry Kiyoshi Tabata August 9, 1921 - February 25, 2012 Harry Tabata, devoted husband, father, brother and friend to many passed away peacefully at home on February 25, 2012. Survived by Hannah, his loving wife of 61 years, daughter Joy Voykin, son Les (Colleen) of Kamloops, grandchildren Dean Voykin (Jess) of Calgary AB, and Spencer Voykin, Nicola and Aiden Tabata all of Kamloops. Also left to mourn are brother Saburo (Nobue) Tabata of Burnaby, and numerous nephews and cousins in British Columbia and Japan. Predeceased by father Seijiro and mother Masae Tabata, sister Fumiko Nakano, brother Takao and son-in-law Stan Voykin. Harry was born in Steveston, BC in 1921. His family moved to Kelowna when Harry was a child. Subsequently, the family relocated to Japan where Harry attended elementary school. Accompanied by his grandfather, Harry returned to Canada as a teenager and later found employment at Britannia Mine. In 1942 Harry was uprooted from the west coast of British Columbia and was required to relocate to the BC interior for remainder of the Second World War. After the War, Harry was employed at a sawmill in the Kamloops area. Harry and Hannah were married in Montréal in 1950 and settled in Kamloops, BC. Daughter Joy arrived in 1953, followed by son Les in 1956. Harry was unable to continue as a sawmill worker due to a workplace injury. After a period of rehabilitation, he re-entered the workforce as a custodianengineer with the then School District 24 (now SD 73). His friendly nature and work ethic endeared him to students and staff alike. Harry retired in 1984 after 27 years of service. Spending quality time with the family was always a priority. Treasured memories include camping trips and sightseeing adventures in western Canada and the United States. Harry was one of the founding members of the Kamloops Japanese Canadian Association when it formed in 1977. He went on to serve on the KJCA board of directors for many years, including two years as President. He received the National Merit Award from the National Association of Japanese Canadians in 1992 for exemplary community service. Harry and Hannah travelled extensively throughout North America, the Caribbean Islands and Southeast Asia, including several trips to Japan. Although they travelled afar, they always considered Kamloops their home. Harry also enjoyed life’s simple pleasures including fishing, gardening and tending to his bonsai trees. He faced many personal challenges during his lifetime with courage, determination and faith. How he lived his life is an inspiration to all who knew him. He will be dearly missed and fondly remembered. Special thanks to Drs. Simon Treissman, J. Waller and D. Ottem for their compassionate care of Harry. A Celebration of Harry’s life will be held on Friday, March 9, 2012 at 2:00 pm in the Schoening Funeral Chapel, 513 Seymour Street, Kamloops, BC, with Captain The Reverend Isabel Healy-Morrow officiating. If friends desire, donations in Harry’s memory may be made to either the Kamloops Japanese Canadian Association, 160 Vernon Avenue, Kamloops, BC V2B 1L6 or the Royal Inland Hospital Foundation, 311 Columbia Street, Kamloops, BC V2C 2T1.

Welcome Message Lace up your running or hiking shoes and get ready to explore our parks this spring and summer. Parks provide a range of activities such as soccer and football, hiking and mountain biking, wildlife and bird watching, having a picnic or playing with your dog at one of the off-leash dog parks. These activities improve quality of life and positively impact the citizens of our community. The City of Kamloops has developed an exceptional parks system in keeping with the Parks, Recreation and Cultural Services vision: To provide the opportunity for an outstanding quality of life for its citizens. Parks bring a sense of community and interaction for our citizens to enjoy. Parks Operations maintain our parks and always keep in mind sustainability and reducing our carbon footprint. Last year we upgraded our irrigation system on fields 4 and 5 at MacArthur Island and completed xeriscaping on our medians on Columbia Street. These combined initiatives saved our city over 1 million gallons of water last year. Another initiative that helped reduce our carbon footprint was improvements to our recycling program in the parks. At special events and tournaments you will notice more blue recycling bins, as well as wire baskets attached to garbage cans in many of our parks. Our parks staff strive to ensure our citizens have the best possible experience in our parks. It is important that our citizens feel proud to have an outstanding parks system in Kamloops. Whether you are playing with your children, walking your dog or hiking, be sure to get outside and enjoy our beautiful parks this spring and summer.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION Our goal is to promote safe and positive aquatic experiences. Please be familiar with all posted safety rules and report to a lifeguard if you need assistance or injure yourself. Admission Policy: Children 6 years of age or under must always be accompanied in the water and be within arm's length of a parent or other person 16 years of age or older. Ratio of children 6 years or under to parent/guardian must be no greater than three to one. Hot Tub, Steam Room, and Sauna: Children 12 years of age and under must be accompanied by a parent or guardian (16 years or older). For the enjoyment and safety of all, please abide by the posted rules. Wellness Centre and Weight Room: Youth ages 12-17 must complete an orientation prior to using the weight room. Upon completion of an orientation, youth ages 12-14 MUST be directly supervised by a paying adult. Dry shirts, shorts, and close-toed shoes are required.

Diving Boards: Children must be 7 years of age or older to use the 3 m or 5 m diving boards. See posted rules for full details.

Aquafitness Aquafit is exercising through movement in water. Water generates natural ‘resistance’ which facilitates a full-body workout at your own pace and intensity. Buoyancy promotes ‘low impact’ movement by decreasing the shock transmitted through your bones and joints. Aqualite: For beginner to experienced exercisers looking for low intensity, low impact class in shallow water.

Aquafit: For all levels of exercisers looking for a low impact, high intensity class in shallow water. These classes feature full body strength, flexibility and cardio training. Deep Water Aquafit: For intermediate to experienced exercisers looking for a no impact, high intensity class in deep water. These classes feature full body strength, flexibility and cardio training and require flotation belts which are provided.

Schedules

Waterslides: Children under 42 in. (1.07 m) in height are not permitted on the waterslide. Children 6 years of age and under who meet the height restriction must be closely supervised by an adult. Single riders only - no chains or multiple riders allowed, including parents with children. See posted "Water Slide Rules" for full details.

Be Water Smart this Summer!

For many Canadian families, summer includes activities such as boating and swimming. But each year, tragic and avoidable water-related fatalities occur across Canada. Water Safety Tips

Water Safety Education

•

• • • •

Always watch children actively around water—even if they can swim. Encourage requiring all non-swimmers to wear a lifejacket to assist you while supervising. Backyard pools are especially dangerous for small children. Ensure adequate barriers are in place and empty portable toddler pools after each use. Diving head ¿rst into water should be avoided unless the individual is properly trained and is sure that the water is deep enough. Never underestimate the power of current. Swimmers or waders can be swept away in an instant, particularly if non-swimmers or weak swimmers get caught by current in rivers.

• •

Learn to swim this summer – learning the basics can save your life! May 17 – National Lifejacket Day: an annual campaign to encourage and promote the use of lifejackets and PFDs among boaters. July 21-28 – National Drowning Prevention Week: check our website for list of activities promoting key safety messages at your local pools.

Children Dance for Health

Movers and Groovers

As a parent, you may be wondering what the best way is to channel your child’s boundless energy. While traditional team sports are a good way to get your child physically active, it may not be the right fit for your child. Dance classes are a great alternative to team sports, and participating in dance classes can be beneficial for children of all ages.

Get into the dance moves with this upbeat introduction to hip hop dance techniques. Each lesson will take you through a choreographed dance sequence. Before you know it, you will be dancing like a star!

Improved Physical Health Dancing is a highly physical activity where participants achieve improvement in their overall physical health; increased flexibility, range of motion, physical strength, and stamina. The repetitive movements involved in dance can improve muscle tone, correct poor posture, increase balance and coordination, and improve overall cardiovascular health. Socialization Benefits In addition to being a physical activity, dancing is also a highly social activity. Children improve their social and communication skills, learn how to work as part of a team, develop a greater sense of trust and cooperation, and make new friends. Educational Benefits Becoming a skilled dancer requires practice, discipline and focus; skills that can be useful in other areas of your child’s life. Dance lessons can help spark creativity in young children and help them to develop an appreciation for the arts. Improved Self-Esteem As children adjust to the movements and postures required in dance, they begin to get a better sense of their bodies. As they become more comfortable in their own skin, their confidence and selfesteem also improve.

Reuse: Recycle water to use for other applications: don’t dump a half empty glass of water down the drain; put it in a pet bowl or plant, reuse water from washing off fruits and vegetables to water plants, collect rainwater in a barrel for watering your plants and lawn. Reduce: Use less water – Turn off the tap while brushing your teeth or shaving, fill a jug of water and keep it in the fridge instead of waiting for water to get cold from the tap, do not use your toilet as a trash can, sweep your driveway instead of hosing it, water your lawn only when it needs water Retrofit: Install watersaving devices – a low-flush toilet can save you up to 14L each time you flush, install low-flow shower heads and tap aerators that create water savings.

This allows me to enhance my Abs and Booty, Power Yoga, and Dance Your Buns Off classes.

They are participating in healthy practices, and I get to see it every day at TCC.

Personal Safety

Offenders often target people they perceive as vulnerable. If you appear confident and self-assured, a good majority of threats are not likely to occur. Use strong and confident body language; maintain an erect posture and direct eye contact and move with a sense of purpose. •

•

Be aware of your surroundings so that you can anticipate potentially risky situations. Carry only what you need; less is better. Where possible, avoid a purse or wallet altogether. Keep money, keys and ID in an inside pocket.

•

Don’t carry large sums of cash.

•

Never leave your purse or wallet unattended.

•

Avoid flashy and expensive jewelry or other belongings that attract attention.

•

Carry medical and emergency contact information with you, as well as personal identification AT ALL TIMES.

•

Carry a whistle or personal alarm and know how to use it.

•

Plan your route and know where you are going.

•

Change your route often and avoid short cuts.

Share The Road Under the Motor Vehicle Act, cyclists are vehicle operators and have the same rights and responsibilities as motorists. When motorists and cyclists follow the same rules, the roads become safer and more predictable for everyone. Cyclists: •

and stop signs. •

Use recognized hand signals to indicate stops and turns.

•

Don’t ride on the sidewalk, or in a crosswalk.

•

Wear a helmet.

•

Always ride on the ride hand side of the road, travelling with traffic.

•

Be visible. Wear brightly colored or reflective clothing and after dark, use a front white head light and a rear red reflector/tail light on your bike. Be aware of the traffic around you.

Motorists: •

Scan for cyclists on roadways and at intersections.

•

Reduce your speed when approaching cyclists. Don’t blast your horn – you could startle them and cause a crash.

•

When following cyclists, don’t tailgate and be prepared to stop quickly.

•

When passing a cyclist, do so slowly and leave at least one metre of passing space between your vehicle and the cyclist. Check over your shoulder before returning to your lane.

Kids p Cam

with Tiger Martial Arts HERE ARE 6 REASONS TO READ THIS RIGHT NOW... A recent study of 3,255 Korean students revealed this powerful information about children and martial arts (Sook Jin Kwan). The test was split with non-martial arts trained children and compared with those trained in Martial Arts: *Martial Arts improved their IQ by 5% or more *Martial Arts improved their grades and focus in school *Martial Arts taught them to respect their elders *Martial Arts gave them higher bone density (thicker is better!) *Martial Arts improved their balance, coordination and selfconfidence *Martial Arts showed them how to develop their passion and independence.

This new and exciting summer camp is designed for kids that love dogs. Each child will be assigned a dog when they arrive. We have dogs of all ages and sizes. If you have a dog, want a dog or need to learn how to care for a dog this is the camp for you. Field trips will consist of Vet visitation to learn about health care, feed stores to learn about Nutrition and our own special groomer Lynda Miller who will be on location to work with each and every child to teach doggy hygiene. Each child will receive a T-Shirt when they arrive and will leave with a doggy bag!

Location: 5657 Beaton Rd. Kamloops, BC Price: $250.00 per week per child + HST Time: 8:30AM - 5:00PM Bring lunches, swim suits, towel and lawn chairs each day!

These dogs at the camp are the sole property of Linda Cline. Each counsellor has done a police check and taken first aid to assure that your child is in the best of care at all times.

Gem of the Shuswap ...

THE ADAMS RIVER

Nestled in the trees between Adams and Shuswap Lakes lies this pristine river which is fully protected within the boundaries of Roderick-Haig Brown Provincial Park. Haig-Brown, an avid fisherman and conservationist, had the foresight to protect this valuable but fragile resource. The Pacific Sockeye Salmon industry depends heavily on the Adams River, as it has the largest Sockeye spawning population in the world. Heavy use of the river for transporting logs was decimating the salmon stocks. Thanks to conservation efforts the Sockeye return every fall to spawn; most prevalent every four years when the river teems with over 2 million red colored fish. The Adams River is also a wonderful playground

for whitewater enthusiasts. Keep in mind though, that while the many sweepers and logjams are ideal for spawning beds, they pose a dangerous hazard to the inexperienced. The class II and III rapids oﬀer great fun for kayakers and rafters. In summer the water is warm and inviting. The nozzle like “Gorge” is always a rush!
