Ajax-produced 3D video dubbed ‘insulting’ Councillors Dever and Cavers and Mayor Milobar hoping for better-quality 3D model By Andrea Klassen STAFF REPORTER andrea@kamloopsthisweek.com

A new 3D-video rendering of the proposed Ajax copper and gold mine south of Aberdeen won’t soon be elbowing aside Avatar in the popularity department. Kamloops Mayor Peter Milobar said he doesn’t mind dealing with a computerized model — but noted he didn’t get the answers he was looking for from the video. “I think it’s a very wellproduced informational video for stock promotion, but not really what I was expecting for an informational,” Milobar said. Ajax project manager Jim Whittaker said the new video, released on YouTube and on the company’s website was, in part, meant to answer some concerns from Kamloops city council. “They were very interested in seeing the mine at full development from several points in the

city,” he said. “So we set that up inside of the model and showed renderings of if you could see the property from the location, or how high in the air would you have to be to see the property.” The rendering shows how the mine’s north and east dump hills will appear from six locations once Ajax is in operation: Knutsford Hill Road, Coach Hill, Aberdeen elementary, Dufferin, Pineview and Batchelor Heights. At most of these locations, according to the video, more than 10 stories of elevation will be required to spot the dump piles, although it will be visible from about ground level at Knutsford and Coach Hill. “People don’t understand how high that hill on the back side of Aberdeen is,” Whittaker said. “What we’ve shown in the video is you have to be very high up in the air before you would be

able to see the mining property, even after 23 years of operation.” Besides the views, the video also offers an overhead view of the mine during the first year and 15 and 23 years into its operation and shows the proposed locations of access roads, power and water lines, buildings and collections ponds. A graphic map also shows the mine site in relation to the Kamloops city boundary. A second marker simply labelled “Kamloops” appears to be set at the city’s downtown core, some 10 kilometres from the mine site. Whittaker said KGHM Ajax had originally hoped to show the video at an open house in February, but renderings weren’t up to par in time. While there is some discussion about building a physical scale model to show the public at later open houses, Whittaker said “there

haven’t been any commitments made.” That’s disappointing to Kamloops Area Preservation Association vice-chair Donna Sambolec, who hopes to see a noncomputerized model of the site. “There are a lot of people that are not Internet-capable,” she said. “There are a lot of seniors in Kamloops whose lives will be affected if this project goes ahead and I think they deserve the respect of the company by giving them something they can access.” Whittaker said he feels putting up the video online is the best way to get the information out to a wide range of people. “Most of the seniors I’ve spoken to, they’re a lot more connected than most people think,” he said. Others on city council were, like the mayor, less-than-impressed with the video. “I though it was not all that

helpful, to be honest,” Coun. Donovan Cavers told KTW. “For most people, actually being able to walk around a physical model that includes both the mine and the city to get the perspective of the size, I think that would be really helpful.” Council has already sent a letter to KGHM Ajax, asking for a better-quality model, Coun. Nelly Dever said, adding she found the level of information in the video “poor and insulting.” The proposed mine is in the middle of an environmentalassessment process, the public comment period of which ended last month. If approved, the mine is expected to produce 109-million pounds of copper and 99,000-ounces of gold annually over its 23-year lifespan, while creating an estimated 350 full-time jobs. The video can be viewed online at ajaxmine.ca/video.html.

COVER PAGE STORY

THE KTW SURVEY: COUNCIL’S STANCE ON AJAX

Most remain undecided Cavers and Lange opposed to proposed mine STAFF REPORTER andrea@kamloopsthisweek.com

While two have made up their minds, most Kamloops city councillors are still on the fence regarding the proposed Ajax copper and gold mine south of Aberdeen. When contacted by KTW, only Tina Lange and Donovan Cavers offered a definitive stance on the copper and gold mine: No thanks. “We spent the last 30 years overcoming the image of Kamloops as a dirty, stinky mill town,” Lange said. “I don’t think that Kamloops, with an open-pit mine within its boundaries, is the image that will take us where we really want to go.” Cavers agreed, calling the project a “clash of image” for the Tournament Capital. “I don’t think it’s the economic vision we’ve had for Kamloops for the past 10 years — and one that’s been quite successful,” he said. However, other city councillors said they don’t feel they can form an opinion until the mine’s environmental assessment is completed and more information comes to light. Nelly Dever said that, while she opposed the project before she was elected in November, she tries to keep an open mind now that she has a seat at the council

table. “I’m trying to be as patient as I can and stay level-headed through the whole process,” she said. “I think if I form an opinion, it closes the door on gathering some of that information, depending on which side you’re going to choose.” Marg Spina and Pat Wallace are both waiting for a response to an 11-page questionnaire council sent to KGHM Ajax last July, the answers to which they said are key to helping them make up their minds. “It’s not a case of being undecided, it’s a case of waiting for responses to the questions,” Wallace said. “Personally, I have to wait until we get the answers and then do the evaluation together with council and our staff.” Arjun Singh and Ken Christian also said they don’t have enough information to yet take a stand on the project. Singh, however, said the work the company will do for its environmental assessment may give him what he needs to make the call. “If I do that, and I think I will, I want to do it at a time when the most information is available,” he added. Mayor Peter Milobar also expects to weigh in on the project at some point — “no one’s trying

to step away from that at all” — but also needs more data to make a decision. “I’m still wanting to get answers,” he said. “I can understand people that are pro or con are very entrenched in that way of thinking, and probably nothing either side says will ever change their mind. “That’s fine. They have that luxury, being citizens of having that position already.” One councillor won’t be making a public declaration about the mine at all. Nancy Bepple’s partner sits on the board of a mineral exploration company with mining rights inside the Ajax footprint. The financial conflict of interest requires her to excuse herself from council discussions on the project. Bepple also owns shares in Ajax. “I’d be willing to sell my shares,” she said, “but I’m not willing to give up my partner.”

April 24 date with the EAO A delegation from the province’s Environmental Assessment Office is headed to Kamloops city council’s regular meeting on April 24. The presentation will cover the Ajax mine and offer information about the environmental review the project is currently going through.

Mountie asked to have name hidden By Tim Petruk STAFF REPORTER

tim@kamloopsthisweek.com

Kamloops RCMP Const. Ryan Sheremetta arrives at the Kamloops Law Courts on Wednesday, April 11, for his sentencing hearing. Sheremetta pleaded guilty to obstruction, a charge stemming from an original assault allegation. The sentencing hearing continued past KTW’s press deadline. Check online at kamloopsthisweek.com for the updated story. Dave Eagles/KTW

A Kamloops Mountie committed a “serious” offence when he tried to talk a rookie co-worker into writing a fake police report about a drunken fight he was involved in, a judge heard yesterday (April 11). Kamloops RCMP Const. Ryan Sheremetta pleaded guilty in B.C. Supreme Court to one count of obstruction of justice stemming from an incident in the early-morning hours of March 7, 2010. Court heard Sheremetta, who was a seven-year veteran at the time, was involved in a heated yelling match with two other men on the corner of Third Avenue and Victoria Street when a rookie constable, Daniel Bray, happened upon the scene in his patrol car. Bray pulled up with his lights on and got out of the vehicle. That’s when one of the men, later determined to be Sheremetta, punched another man in the face. Court heard Bray grabbed Sheremetta, at which time he recognized him. The two had worked previously on the same watch. Bray, who had been a Mountie for six months at the time, placed Sheremetta in the back seat of his cruiser, but did not arrest him. He then asked Sheremetta where he lived and offered to drive him home. During that eight-minute drive, Sheremetta asked the rookie cop to falsify his report on the incident to leave his name out. Crown prosecutor Sheryl Wagner read from a statement given by Bray to a senior Mountie days after the incident. “He wanted me to write the file up in a way that would leave his name out,” Wagner read, explaining Sheremetta asked Bray to say “three unknown males” were involved. “I told him I wasn’t going to do that,” the statement continued. “He really did not want me to

include his name in the file. He made that very clear.” After dropping Sheremetta off at his house, Bray went directly to his watch commander and told him what happened. Court heard Sheremetta followed up the conversation with a Facebook message the following evening. “Hey dude, so I was pretty wasted last night,” it reads. “Did my name appear in a file? Just wondering if I’m gonna get in shit for this. Thanks for the ride home.” Sheremetta was then barred from speaking to Bray, but remained on active duty. Despite that, Sheremetta continued to attempt to contact Bray via Facebook. Wagner said Bray was put in an awkward position, given the fact he was a rookie officer at the time. “He said it made him feel uncomfortable,” she said. “He was surprised by the comment, and also a little bit disappointed.” Wagner asked B.C. Supreme Court Justice Robert Powers to place Sheremetta on a two-year probation term, with orders he perform 50 to 100 community-service hours and write a letter of apology to Bray. He would also be required to report regularly to a probation officer. Defence, meanwhile, was seeking an absolute discharge — meaning Sheremetta would not have a criminal record. Sheremetta was initially charged with assault in addition to obstruction of justice, but the assault charge was later stayed. He was suspended with pay in February 2011. That suspension was lifted last August. Sheremetta is now on active duty in the Kamloops RCMP’s traffic section. The incident is not Sheremetta’s first time in the public eye. In 2004, he shot and killed a robbery suspect while working in Vanderhoof. Following a high-profile investigation, he was eventually cleared of any wrongdoing.

LOCAL NEWS Sahali secondary teacher Justin Devries works with digitalgame design student Chelsea Dick to create code and some background art for a side-scrolling shooter game. In September, area high school students will have the opportunity to spend an entire semester studying nothing but video-game design. Dave Eagles/KTW

Video-game design taken to next level By Tim Petruk STAFF REPORTER

tim@kamloopsthisweek.com

The Kamloops-Thompson school district is taking its video-game design curriculum to the next level. What started as a summer-camp program in 2007 and grew into a limited course offering last year is set to assume full-course status — meaning area high school students will have the opportunity to spend an entire semester studying nothing but video-game design. The program, which the school district is calling its Technology Academy, is a partnership between the school district, Thompson Rivers University and The DigiPen Institute of Technology, a Redmond, Wash.-based four-year college recognized as one of the world’s leaders in training game designers. “The students that took the elective courses this year, they were only taking one course elective with DigiPen,” said Greg Howard, SD73’s district principal for trades and transitions. “Now, kids will come in, they will take four courses back to back. It’s 540 hours, all in the same semester. So, that’s all they’ll do.” The academy will be based out of Sa-Hali secondary, but will be open to all district students at a cost of between $100 and $150 per semester. Howard said the partnership means the Technology Academy will leave students with no shortage of opportunities. Not only will the semester count for 16 credits toward high school graduation, but students will also receive 12 computer-science university credits from TRU. “And, there’s of course the opportunity to attend DigiPen,” Howard said, adding Venture Kamloops is also involved in the partnership. “They’re trying to get the industry coming to Kamloops,” he said. “They’re looking at maybe making Kamloops a destination for the industry.” The limited offering of DigiPen courses this school year has been successful, Howard said. “They had one course in the first semester and one in the second and it was an overwhelming success,” he said.

“They’re giddy up there.” Sa-Hali’s video-game design course — called Digital Game Design — is taught by Justin deVries, who shares Howard’s enthusiasm for the program. “This year, Sa-Hali had about 55 students that went through and took the beginning level courses,” deVries said, explaining those students will then feed into the higher-level offerings beginning in September. “They enjoy the classes. I enjoy the classes. Everybody enjoys the classes. “Everybody looks forward to them. When that class is over, it’s like, ‘Oh, we have to do real school now?’” Make no mistake about the DigiPen curriculum, though — it is real school. Heavy in math and computer science, the DigiPen Institute of Technology has been recognized in the past by the Princeton Review as one of the top game-design colleges in the U.S. Howard said he believes the Kamloops-Thompson school district’s partnership with DigiPen and TRU is the first of its kind in Canada. And, he said, the deal with DigiPen is exclusive among B.C. school district’s — meaning any other school in the province looking to start a similar program has to pay for the rights. “It does help the bottom line,” Howard said. “But, for the students, if this partnership takes off, I see this as being a real lead-in for our kids.”

Proven formulas for those fed-up with the rat race

How Average Canadians Are Creating and Protecting Their Wealth...

Do you believe one person has the same chance of being wealthy as the next? Or do you honestly think that most people who end up rich, got that way because of special circumstances? My name is Darren Weeks and I know from the bottom of my heart that everyone has the same chance. I am an average Joe. I grew up in a middle class family. I had no special breaks, and didn’t know any famous people who gave me my start. I definitely didn’t win any lottery. But I have done very well for my age... ...and I have shown thousands of Canadians how to copy my formula for financial independence. My company, the Fast Track Group, has been ranked among Canada’s Fastest Growing Companies for two straight years now. Last year, we finished 40th on PROFIT Magazine’s list. In 10 years, I have taken it from 5 employees in one tiny office, to over 100 employees and 12 offices. More than 350,000 Canadians have now attended Fast Track events. All our success has enabled us to support people that inspire us. The Fast Track Group is the title sponsor of Canada’s Luge team and we support them to the tune of over $1 million.

No, they took action and realized that... ...turbulent times like this are where most of the wealthiest 1% made their biggest gains. One of my star students was a tradesperson who was fed up with trying to make ends meet every month. Rob Chaulk was a hard worker that knew his job wasn’t going to make life any easier. He also dabbled in some businesses along the way in the restaurant and towing business. But he didn’t become financially independent until he mastered the money game. I was fortunate enough to be the one who showed him how. He has quit the trades, and now owns multiple businesses and has millions of dollars in cash-flow-positive real estate properties. One simple shift in the way he thought about money, a solid action plan to move forward, and he now never again needs to worry about money or paying bills. I personally grew up in a middle class family with no special advantages or opportunities. The difference for me though was a significant desire to be and have more. It wasn’t about all the fancy toys... for me it was about putting an end to the time for money trap I saw everyone else falling for. It was about seeing more of the world. It was about raising a young family in an environment that was positive about money, and the opportunities abound that created more money for those with initiative. I immersed myself in the “Rich Dad” philosophies, and ultimately worked directly with Robert Kiyosaki to teach Canadian’s these same philosophies and how to take control of their financial future. I began investing in real estate. I started up businesses that supported my new money mindset. I tried to find others in Canada who I could talk to about this drive I had. It was difficult to find people who thought about money like I did... Don’t get me wrong, there were lots of successful Canadians out there, but I found it difficult to get them to sit with me and talk one-on-one about their own strategies for wealth creation. So I sought out those who wanted greater wealth in their own life.

On top of providing FREE financial education to all Canadians, my company is able to offer better returns and tax savings to our investors thanks to our partnerships with multinational Companies. We are not some “fly-by-night corporation.” All this growth has put me in the spotlight – I’m a contributor for Canadian Real Estate Magazine and made countless TV appearances on stations such as BNN, CTV and City TV. It’s been a heck of a ride. Now it’s time to teach you how I did it, and how you can do it too! My greatest pride in all of this? Seeing my clients, students and peers succeeding and thriving in the current economy. They didn’t listen to the masses and lock themselves up in a dark basement, while waiting for things to “turn around”.

Then I systematized what I had personally done to create wealth, and shared it with them for their own personal use. Those who had the drive to follow my system, ended up making millions. They became friends. They became peers. They became my inner circle mastermind partners. And they encouraged me to take my system bigger and share it with more people in Canada. So I did. I have spoken to thousands of people from every corner of our great country. I shared with them my formula for creating wealth, starting from nothing, or starting with a solid base. My system worked for those who applied it. I travelled far too much and started to burn myself out. I stopped traveling and started leveraging. I built a team of 100 of the most passionate people in the country. They helped me get my message out to those who wanted out of the rat race. We pulled in our best students and success stories, and had them share their own examples on the road.

The best part? My STAR student will pass on the knowledge to you. The formula that I taught continued to work for others who I had never personally taught. My system worked for anyone who understood it and applied it, whether or not I taught it to them directly or through my students. Is it your turn to master the money mindset? ...Most people are broke, and will stay that way for the rest of their life. My company has organized an event coming up in your city and we would like you to join us. There is no cost to attend, but you do need to commit to being there.

We don’t just show you what to do... you get the formula to go as fast as you like, and can handle. Most seminars share the what – not the how. We show you both, with specific examples, formulas and resources to get you there on your own pace. Don’t go it alone! Bring a friend or family member with you and enjoy the journey to wealth as a team. When you reserve your seat at this event, just mention who you want to bring and we will also give you a CD that sells for $39.95. Nothing good is ever FREE... right? Wrong. I know you may be sceptical because we aren’t charging you for this event. Think about this. Each one of my wealthiest students and clients started off at a free event just like this. They heard about an event just like this put on by my company. They attended and absorbed every ounce of information shared, and took MASSIVE ACTION. Each of them is now financially independent and able to live life on their own terms.

What should you do next? Pick up your phone and dial 1-877-742-4236 or visit our website at www.BCFastTrack.ca and reserve your seat there. Find one or more friends or family members who want out of the rat race like you do... and get them a seat booked as well. Last? Don’t let anyone discourage you or get in your way. Real independence starts when you learn to ignore all the negative people in your life who don’t want you to succeed. Make sure you show up, take lots of notes, and immediately start putting these ideas into action. If I can show completely unknown individuals how to become financially independent in 5 years or less... why can’t you? This is the real deal and I have gone from $0 to $100 million in revenues in just 10 years using these strategies... my students are proof that my techniques work everywhere, for anyone who is willing to take action. Stop what you are doing right now and get your seat booked. Dial 1-877-742-4236 or visit our website at www.BCFastTrack.ca and reserve your seat there. PS: Don’t be that person that has everything it takes to live free of financial worry, yet chooses to follow the path of financial devastation. There is a way for you to start creating the lifestyle you want, right here and now. The definition of insanity is “doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results!” Your success demands an investment of your time and money... and I am handing you a grand opportunity to improve your odds of success many times over.

$12.8-million facelift begins By Andrea Klassen STAFF REPORTER andrea@kamloopsthisweek.com

Partway through the Easter Sunday service at Kamloops United Church, the entire congregation got up and left the sanctuary. They won’t return until this fall. Instead, worship is moving to another building on the grounds as the first phase of the downtown church’s $12.8 million redevelopment begins. “The mood was just bordering on giddiness,” said Jennifer Keim, co-chair of the church’s redevelopment committee. “Our congregation has really spent a lot of time thinking about this project, working on this project, and we’ve really done it together. “Everyone is a piece of this project and I think they really felt that sense of ownership on Sunday when we said, ‘OK, that’s it, we’re moving.’” This Saturday (April 14), the church will celebrate the start of construction with an official ceremony at 10:30 a.m. at Fourth Avenue and St. Paul Street.

The first phase of construction will see the current sanctuary and its basement expanded to create preschool and meeting-room space, a new hall and kitchen, along with a new streetlevel entrance to the church. Keim expects the work will be completed around November. Following that, the church plans to demolish its interim meeting space and get to work on a 61-unit affordable housing complex it is building with B.C. Housing. Keim said the design for the complex is close to completion and the public should get a first look at the plans for the units this summer.

GAME

Plans for the building will also go to the city, which needs to rezone the property. Originally envisioned as a retrofit of the 60-year-old Christian Education Centre on the church’s grounds, Keim described the seven years of planning it took to get the project to construction as “a long labour of love. “Everybody’s just really, really excited that this is it — we’re doing it, it’s going to be done one way or another.” Kamloops United Church will also roll out a community fundraising campaign for the project, most likely in May. “Some of the space we’re building in the new

building, particularly around addictions support, the new kitchen, lends itself to either groups or individuals that want to really support that very important community work,” Keim said. The congregation has raised $900,000 and the church picked up another $80,000 for new kitchen equipment from the Aviva Community Fund in January.

Ready to have a ball with the men and women in red serge

FEW YEARS AGO, RCMP Insp. Yves Lacasse called me at work. He wasn’t happy with

me. Apparently, many of his fellow officers down on Battle Street weren’t happy, either. I can’t remember the specific column, but I had written something about police, Tasers — likely the name Robert Dziekanski was included — and expressed my view that, maybe, police should use their words when dealing with a person before they reach for their weapons. Lacasse can be a forceful orator when he’s unhappy with a person. Looking back on it now, it seems so ironic Lacasse was using his words to make his point to me about a column in which I suggested police try using their words to make their points before pointing their weapons. It wasn’t the first time a member of the force called me up to get mad at me — and it likely won’t be the last. I tell you this because, on Saturday, April 14, I will be attending the local RCMP’s regimental ball at the Colombo Lodge. It’s a swanky affair — formal dress, apparently, which means my daily jeans-and-sweater garb just won’t cut it. Now, the folks with whom I work here at KTW have found this the source of a lot of laughter. So have family members and friends. It’s been food for some pretty funny remarks, many having to do with being the wrong person in the

DALE BASS Street

LEVEL wrong place at the wrong time. The reality is I was invited to take part in this event, a fundraiser for the United Way. And, much to my husband’s chagrin — formal wear is just not his thing — we’re going. I figure he can redirect the conversation at the dinner table should I start to feel the need to express my opinions. After all, he had relatives who worked in police forensics and one who was chief of police in Toronto for many years. He can do cop-talk. I’m hoping that attending the event accomplishes a couple of things. First, just as with the RCMP’s Jailand-Bail fundraiser for the United Way — in which I also took part — it helps with a charitable organization that does great work in the city and region. That’s a good thing to support because, through it, a lot of great works get done in the city. Second, it might help show some of the officers that someone can criticize their actions on the job — doing her own job — and it’s not personal.

Perhaps one of the best things that will come from this gala affair, however, is the public-relations boost the police will receive. Heaven knows the men and women in red have had a lot of shots taken at them in past months from more columnists and reporters than me and, sometimes, all that bad press can make it seem like everything about the RCMP is bad. That’s simply not true. The local police understand that and know they are not only there to police the community, but to be part of it, as well. It’s something that was prioritized during recent meetings held with the public and it’s something the officers are putting into practice. They were at the recent — and historic, for this city — Pride Parade at Thompson Rivers University and, while you can bet they were there to watch for any problems, they were also in attendance to show their solidarity for the cause of equality for all. So, on Saturday, they will be all spiffed up in their regimental reds, I bet, ready to celebrate and support their city. I’m betting plenty will be writing some big cheques at the end of the night when the winners of the silent auction items are announced. They’ll say it’s all for a good cause — the United Way. But, really, it’s for two good causes — those super folks who raise money to support agencies in the city and those other super folks who are willing to take on opponents — even those who use words as their weapons.

The Canadian Society for Exercise Physiology wants children to move more and sit less — essentially so they won’t become fat. The group wants them to grow up healthy and has released what it says are the first guidelines for the early years. Not surprisingly, the group calls for less screen time — TV, laptops, iPods and smartphones. No doubt, kids today spend a lot of time staring a such screens — watching videos, playing games, browsing and texting. But, many are also active — walking to and from school, playing sports and taking part in track and field, martial arts or dance. They ride bikes, run and skateboard. Still, many are overweight. The main reason isn’t so much screen time as what they put into their bodies — sugar and fat. And, it’s not just pizza and pop, hamburgers, chips and cookies. So-called sport drinks can contain as much sugar as a slushee. Specialty coffees and hot chocolate are loaded with calories. We consume such products despite healthy-eating programs devised and promoted by our provincial government, even though we know better. We do so out of convenience and because many items that aren’t healthy taste good. So, have a little, not a lot — and not often. Buy more fruits and vegetables, whole grains and lean meats. Grow lettuce and berries in pots on your deck. Turn off the TV and the videogame console, take away the iPods and cellphones. Cook and eat together, as a family, even if only once or twice a week. It’s a good habit to get into. People are busy, but they can also be lazy. Start by setting a good example for your kids and, hopefully, they’ll develop the healthy habits the Canadian Society for Exercise Physiology so desires. All it takes is will. Consider it a gift to your kids — their health.

Re: No word yet on why meter went wonky: “One confirmed failure out of a million installed so far is a 0.0001 per cent failure rate. “Some of the other investigations led to entertaining results: http://www.el.bchydro. com/mediabulletins/bulletin/system_facilities/ high_bill_concerns_ results_of_investigations. “I particularly like the people who complained about being ripped off by their smart meters, only to discover their smart meter hadn’t been installed, yet their consumption has actually decreased. “Pity that BC Hydro doesn’t name the individuals.” — posted by Rick Jonker “There are many people receiving bills with usage increasing many times over, with no new appliance. “One woman who wrote me has bills going back 14 years. Her average daily usage over the last year was 15-20kWh. “After the smart meter was installed, it jumped to 100 kWh. “Nothing else has changed.

Editor: Re: Ken Barry’s letter of March 15 (‘Where is net-zero in government salaries?’), in which he detailed the pay raises many government employees have received since 2006. Barry’s letter mentioned no less than 15 deputy ministers, bureaucrats and their

assistants and/or associates and their pay raises since 2006. These salary increases ranged from eight per cent over one year to 62 per cent over five years. I find it extremely repugnant that government can find money for such hefty raises for its own people, while telling teachers, nurses and

the many other government employess there is no money for them. I have a very simple solution to this provincial problem. First, all MLAs and all their deputies, assistants, associates and bureaucrats would have their salaries clawed back to what they were making in 2006.

The next step would be to implement a new system of pay increases in which the percentage of pay raise the MLAs give themselves is the same percentage of pay increase given to teachers, nurses and other “lesser” government employees who have, up to now, been told to accept the

net-zero mandate. That would certainly avoid the blatant twotiered pay-raise system that exists in B.C.. I dare the B.C. Liberal government to enterain this idea. How about it, Premier Christy Clark? Hillary Rockvam Kamloops

Plenty to fear about fracking as practice gains attention JOHN VAN DONGEN

RICH COLEMAN

Advice for van Dongen Editor: Before disparaging his ‘friend’ John van Dongen further, B.C. Liberal house leader Rich Coleman should read chapter 3 of Tom Berger’s One Man’s Justice, in which Berger recounts how he and his client, George Jones, sued Socred premier W.A.C Bennett for slander by disparagement. Bennett had told a crowd and two reporters: “I am not going to say anything about The Jones Boy. But, I could tell you lots. I want to assure you that the position that the government has taken is the right one.” There’s no difference between Bennett’s attempt to discolour Jones by dark implication and Coleman’s attempt to smear van Dongen by trying to explain away his resignation by implying van Dongen quit the B.C. Liberal Party as the result of emotional and personal problems. What’s more, if Coleman is implying that questioning the BC Rail deal is the sign of an overly emotional mind then, he must believe B.C. voters are starkraving nuts. Why? Because we, too, want to know the details of the BC Rail sale and we, too, want to know why Dave Basi and Bob Virk got off so lightly, and we, too, want to know why we ended up footing their $6-million lawyers’ bill, and we, too, want to learn in great detail about our current premier’s role in that sordid mess. And, while Coleman is reading chapter 3, van Dongen should call up Berger for a chat about suing his “friend” Rich for slander by disparagement. Greg J. Edwards Delta

Editor: The controversial practice of fracking (hydraulic fracturing) is facing mounting opposition across Canada. Fracking is a contentious method of extracting unconventional natural gas, primarily from shale. The technique involves the injection of sand, millions of litres of water and thousands of litres of unidentified chemicals underground at very high pressure to create fractures in rock formations to extract the trapped gas. In the U.S., groundwater contamination has been documented in several areas, including Pavillion, Wyo., northeastern Pennsylvania and upstate New York. There have also been occasions of earthquakes near fracking sites, including in Oklahoma and Ohio. Fracking wastewater at numerous sites in the U.S. is too radioactive for water-treatment plants to cope with in a safe manner. In Canada, there is no federal legislation on fracking, while regulations on water and drilling permits vary from province to province. Oil and gas wells are exempt from the national pollutant release inventory. Companies do not have to provide details of the chemicals they use. As a result, municipalities cannot obtain a list of possible contaminants in order to test to ensure the chemicals are not present in

drinking water. Environment Canada reviewed chemicals used in the process in Quebec and the U.S and found approximately half did not meet the chemicals management plan criteria for further investigation. But, fracking is rapidly expanding in almost every province. This ignores the opinion of the majority of Canadians as an Environics Research poll commissioned by the Council of Canadians found 62 per cent of Canadians (and 67 per cent of British Columbians) support a moratorium on fracking for natural gas until all federal environmental reviews are complete. Council of Canadians members have been at the forefront of local campaigns to stop this dangerous industry and protect their local water sources from toxic chemical and methane contamination. The council has launched the Fracker Tracker, a web map that will help track fracking threats across the country. The Council of Canadians is urging people to go online to canadians. org/fracking and sign the petition to stop fracking. Meetings of the Kamloops chapter of the Council of Canadians are held on the second Wednesday of every month at 5:30 p.m. at the Smorgasbord Deli, 225 Seventh Ave.

LOCAL NEWS TAX SEASON IS APPROACHING!

Fire season has arrived By Tim Petruk STAFF REPORTER

tim@kamloopsthisweek.com

The heat is on. That’s the word from Kamloops-area fire officials, who have been kept busy in recent weeks battling spring wildfires in and around the city. “What we’re seeing is lots of dead materials on the ground,” said Kamloops Fire Rescue (KFR) Capt. Sheldon Guertin. “Because we get high winds — and we haven’t had any precipitation, so we haven’t had that green-up — we can see some grass fires.” And, see grass fires they have. On April 3, what started as a small spot fire quickly grew into a seven-hectare grass fire near the G&M Trailer Park on the north side of the Thompson River, burning at one point to within 25 feet of homes. During the Easter weekend, firefighters responded to a 10-hectare blaze near Knutsford. The G&M blaze is believed to have been sparked by kids playing with matches, while the

Knutsford fire began accidentally as an area rancher worked on his farming equipment. Guertin said KFR’s bush trucks have been back in service for the summer season since last month and crews are constantly monitoring weather forecasts to decide how to respond to calls. At the B.C. Forest Service’s Kamloops office at Fulton Field, provincial staffers are also keeping a close eye on Mother Nature. Fire information officer Lindsay Carnes said provincial crews have so far responded to a 14 wildfires this year in the Kamloops Fire Zone — the largest of which was a 10-hectare blaze near Lillooett in the Fraser Canyon. “Around this time of year, because most of our fires come from backyard burns, it’s really important to be diligent when burning,” Carnes said. “We’re in a window between the snow melting and the grass greening up, where we’re in a risk for grass fires. “Once green-up has occurred, then we’re out of that window a little bit

until summer.” Guertin also urged landowners to use caution when burning — and, of course, to get a permit. “If you’re going to have a fire of any type in the City of Kamloops, you need to have a permit,” he said. “Bonfire, cooking fire, controlled burn — if you don’t have a permit, you’re going to have a $500 fine. “And, if the fire gets away from you, you’re going to be responsible for all the extra costs.” Guertin said permits are granted by KFR, but require a property size of at least one acre. Carnes, meanwhile, said it’s tough to predict what the fire season will be like until summer arrives. “Until then, we’re gearing up as if it will be a busy season,” she said. “But, only time will tell.” To get real-time updates on wildfires in British Columbia, go online to http://bcwildfire. ca/hprScripts/WildfireNews/ OneFire.asp.

CHARGED UP By Andrea Klassen STAFF REPORTER andrea@kamloopsthisweek.com

Want to drive a fully electric car in Kamloops? Then, with a few exceptions, there’s a trip to the Lower Mainland or the U.S. in your future. The B.C. government has announced it will spend $2.74 million to install public car-charging stations around the province over the next year. The 570 chargers will be stationed in cities and on major highways and can bring an electric car back to full power in about 20 minutes. At the moment, however, there are few vehicles on the market for local drivers to plug into. Last month, Rick Wourms became possibly the first person in Kamloops to own a Chevrolet Volt.

The Volt is a fully electric car with a backup gas engine for trips over 85 kilometres and retails for a little under $42,000 (it’s also eligible for a government green-car rebate of up to $5,000). “I hate fuel companies,” Wourms said with a laugh. “Gas prices are so ridiculous, I always wanted to get something else.” Because the Volt hasn’t yet been introduced in Kamloops, scoring the car involved a road trip to the Lower Mainland. “When we phoned here, they said it will be two, three months before they’re actually set up to have them. But, we were ready to get in a new car right now,” Wourms said. Though the Volt has a gas engine, Wourms hasn’t had much use for

it so far. Driving the car home, he didn’t touch the fuel. Three weeks of commuting later, the tank is still full. Smith Chevrolet Cadillac Ltd. salesperson Mark Weiler confirms the Volt is expected to hit the city this summer but, like many electric-car options, it was first rolled out in larger markets. Even in the Vancouver area, Wourms said the cars aren’t that easy to locate. The dealership in Surrey that sold him his vehicle had three in stock. “But, I think a lot of the other dealers didn’t have them,” Wourms said. “There’s not a lot around. It’s crazy. I don’t know why people don’t want them.” X See NISSAN A12

Jeanine Wourms takes her turn driving the Chevy Volt to work on Wednesday, April 11. The electric car has recently been added to the Wourms family’s roster. Jeanine and husband Rick had to travel to the Lower Mainland to by the Volt as electric cars are not yet common in Kamloops showrooms. “There’s not a lot around. It’s crazy,” Rick said. “I don’t know why people don’t want them.” Dave Eagles/KTW

Nissan Leaf has fallen on city X From A12

Locally, there is at least one electric car on a lot. River City Nissan fleet manager Derek Deneef said his dealership has sold one Nissan Leaf and has another in stock. The no-gas vehicle, which starts at slightly more than $38,000, has only been available in the Tournament Capital for about four months. “They’ve been focusing on the bigger markets first, the metro areas,” he says. “So, it’s still quite new to us.”

Ford has its own allelectric option, the Focus Electric, but it hasn’t yet been introduced to Canadian dealers. Jennifer Scheps, marketing director for Kamloops Ford Lincoln Ltd., said there’s a possibility the car may make its way into the country around September, but there’s no concrete information yet. As more options become available in the city, Wourms hopes to see more people consider the electric option. “I think people, they

What do B.C. Liberals drive? As the B.C. Liberal government rolls out its latest upgrade for green drivers, KTW asked MLAs in the region about their own driving preferences: • Terry Lake, MLA for KamloopsNorth Thompson and environment minister: The Lake family uses a 2004 Volkswagen Passat, but Lake said the family is in the market for a new car — and he’s hoping to test out the all-electric Chevrolet Volt, once the car reaches local show

rooms this summer. “I’ve test-driven one in Vancouver and it’s a really nice vehicle, but I want to see how it does on the hills and highway around here,” Lake said. • Norm Letnick, MLA for Kelowna-Lake Country: Letnick drives a SmartCar, which he purchased in 2007. • George Abbott, MLA for Shuswap: Abbott drives a 2011 Toyota Camry hybrid.

don’t understand what the electric car is all about. They think they’re going to have to give up something,” he said, adding many of his friends are surprised by how normal the Volt looks. “They’re expecting a SmartCar or a little rinkydinky thing. And, it’s a four-door car. It’s just a normal car and it drives like a normal car.” The government’s planned charging stations will be faster than home options. When plugged into an average wall socket,

Deneef said the Leaf takes up to 16 hours to fully charge, at which point it’s good for 150 kilometres. A 220-volt “washer-dryer sort of plug” will get it up to speed within six hours. Quick-charging stations, which get the job done in less than 30 minutes, are an option at home. “But, it’s a very expensive charging station and I would be very surprised if anyone put one of those in their homes, because it’s about $7,500,” Deneef said.

• Kevin Krueger, MLA for Kamloops-South Thompson: Krueger drives two vehicles, a Chevrolet Impala, which he said gets “tremendous” mileage, and a Ford pickup truck. While Krueger has considered hybrid and electric vehicles, he said they don’t seem like they would fit into his lifestyle, which includes weekly drives down the Coquihalla Highway. • Steve Thomson, MLA for Kelowna-Mission: The Thomson family shares a 2008 Subaru Impreza, though Thomson noted he makes an effort to take hybrid cabs or

walk when he’s at the Legislature in Victoria. • Ben Stewart, MLA for Westside-Kelowna: Stewart’s son recently took over his diesel SmartCar, which Stewart hopes to replace with Smart’s new all-electric model when it becomes available in Canada. He also owns a truck for farm work.

HOME & GARDEN

How to achieve that near-patio perfection

S THE weather gets warmer, Canadians move outside — literally. Our patios and backyards suddenly become al fresco extensions of our homes. With innovative and stylish fabrics and decorative elements available at affordable prices, design experts are increasingly being asked to create outdoor living and dining rooms. If your patio lacks panache, this is the season to learn to love your outdoor spaces. But, where do you begin? Sears offers a quicktip guideline: 1. Start by analyzing how you actually use — want to use — your outdoor space. Is it where you gather with friends to socialize, or to cook, to

eat, to play, or all of the above? These questions will determine the layout and needs for your space. 2. Creating a lovely and livable outdoor space means taking care

of your yard. Take a look at the advanced technology in mowers this year. The Craftsman EZ platform mower has a convenient push-button start, with right and left hand controls, plus a

one-hand bag removal. Let this new technology clip hours from your monthly lawn care chores. 3. Seating: Choose easy-to-clean “sling” seating for patios that serve primarily as

din ing areas. For lounging, deep cushion seating is luxurious and gaining in popularity. Just be sure the frames are made of sturdy steel to protect your investment over

the years. 4. Rugs are a hot, new trend that truly bring the indoors out. Some of the best indoor/outdoor rugs are reversible, made of durable and water resistant polypropylene

and come in a variety of colours and patterns. 5. Barbecues are a must for perfect patio entertaining. Choose one that suits your lifestyle — and your space. For urban backyards, think sleek and stylish, like the 75,000 BTU Kenmore, which is ideal for everyday cooking. 6. Finishing touches are where you allow your personality to shine. The better home and garden centres offer gazebos to keep the bugs out, umbrellas made for the shade and even heaters and fire pits to warm up those late, late summer evenings and extend the life of your outdoor living space.

Volunteer Kamloops is here to help you Agency has dynamic website and new office to connect groups with those hoping to pitch in Looking to volunteer? Looking for volunteers? Look no further than Volunteer Kamloops. “We work for community agencies who need volunteers,” said Margaret Durnin, the organization’s executive director. “We help them recruit volunteers.” Volunteer Kamloops is the middle man, so to speak, but Durnin said the group works hard to ensure the connection

between volunteers and agencies goes as smoothly as possible. That often means doing nothing at all — just letting the two sides meet via the magic of the Internet. “With our website, people can look at it and get all the information right there,” Durnin said. “We don’t try to get in the way too much.” Volunteer Kamloops’ website allows agencies looking

for volunteers to post wanted ads stating exactly what they need. Prospective volunteers scour the posts, take down the information and connect with the group on their own. Because of that hands-off approach, Durnin said, it’s tough to know exactly how many volunteers are set up with agencies in any given month. But, she said, the website receives upwards of 500

unique visitors each month. In addition to the Internet service, Volunteer Kamloops also does things the old-fashioned way — in its Seymour Street office. “Out of our office, we will refer about 60 people a month,” Durnin said. Volunteer Kamloops employs three staff members and charges organizations a modest membership rate of $50 per year. The service is free for

volunteers. Durnin said Volunteer Kamloops, which also receives funding from B.C. gambling revenues, will likely embark on a fundraising drive in the near future. For more information about Volunteer Kamloops, visit the website at volunteerkamloops. org or call 250-372-8313. The office, located at 705 Seymour St., is open Tuesdays through Fridays from 9 a.m. until 4 p.m.

Thank you to all those who give so generously of their time and talent

teering, you might even develop a new hobby or passion. • Learning outside of the classroom: Volunteering teaches about global and local issues. For example, involvement in activities, such as World Vision’s 30-Hour Famine, shows there are people in the world who are not as fortunate, but there are simple ways to make a difference. Information on the 30-Hour Famine can be found online at famine.ca. • Building relationships: You will build relationships where you volunteer. You might meet new friends or create longtime contacts for the future. Parents and kids might consider choosing the same organization so they can spend quality time together. newscanada.com

City expects rise in residential construction this year By Andrea Klassen STAFF REPORTER andrea@kamloopsthisweek.com

Commercial construction bolstered building permit numbers in 2011, but the city’s building department is expecting a swing back to residential activity in 2012. “It’s that see-saw,” said David Freeman, the city’s assistant director of development and engineering services. “You get a couple years of strong commercial, the commercial gets going and the community looks more attractive for residential and people build more houses.” The city issued 54 residential permits in March, up from 34 in March of last year, though the construction value of the projects was less — $7.1 million to 2011’s $12.7. Freeman said the drop in value is largely due to a lack of permits issued for multi-family projects — and one major project wasn’t included because the developer hadn’t come in to pay for his permit before the end of the month. “We have a 38-unit permit sitting at the front counter for pickup so, if he’d picked that up last week, we’d be right on track,” Freeman said, adding the permit department is already dealing with plans for

more than 200 multifamily units worth about $16 million. The number of mobile-home permits is also up for the year, with seven issued in March and nine issued overall, compared with none at all by this time last year. It’s a rise Freeman expects will continue, thanks to two new mobile-home parks in the city that developers have indicated will likely be full by this winter. Commercial permits held steady at 20, dead even with 2011, with permit value rising to $5.8 million over $3.4 million last year. Overall, the city handed out $13.3 million in permits in March, which Freeman said is about what the department expected. April, however, will likely be a stronger month for the city. While Kamloops issued 12 single-familyhome permits in March, Freeman said 10 new applications were already under review five days into the month. Several other large projects are also in the works or expected to come to the department in the near future, including a $10-million upgrade of Thompson Rivers University’s Old Main Building, a 30-bed assisted-living

Arrest in Benchlands A Kamloops-area man will likely face a string of charges after pointing a firearm at a police officer over the weekend. Mounties from the Kamloops Rural RCMP detachment were called to an incident on Benchlands Road in Skeetchestn at about 9 p.m. on Saturday, April 7, for a report of a man high on drugs and trashing a house. When officers found the 22-year-old man, he pointed what appeared to be a gun at them. Police told the man to drop the weapon, which he did. He was arrested, after which officers realized the weapon was actually a pellet gun. Kamloops RCMP Const. Michelle Kerpan said police will be recommending a charge of pointing a firearm be laid against the man. He was held in custody until sober, then released on a promise to appear in court at a later date.

Easter crime spree Easter was not happy for a number of Kamloops motorists who fell victim to long-weekend crooks, police say. Kerpan said Mounties received multiple reports of vehicle break-ins over the weekend, in Upper Sahali and on the North Shore. Items stolen included bags, wallets, purses, cash and credit cards. Kerpan said a number of the vehicles were left unlocked, meaning easy access for criminals. She said the thefts should serve as a reminder to remove valuables from plain sight and lock car doors.

It appears as though Adrian Miller is ready to come clean. The Thompson Rivers University student senator, behind bars since being denied bail last month, is expected to plead guilty to all of his outstanding criminal charges in a Kamloops courtroom on Friday, April 13. During a brief appearance in Kamloops provincial court on Tuesday, April 10, a lawyer acting on Miller’s behalf told the court the 26-year-old plans to enter guilty pleas to all of his charges. Miller, who was elected to TRU’s senate and board of governors in December, is facing 11 criminal charges

Three of the breach charges are from last fall, while the other two offences are alleged to have taken place in February. Also in February, Miller was arrested and charged with multiple counts of theft and possession of stolen

property, as well as mischief. The Crown alleges Miller stole electronics and jewelry from his Pineview Valley landlords, pawning a number of the items and hiding others in his basement suite. The mischief charge stems from an incident just prior to Miller’s arrest, in which he is alleged to have made a false burglary report to police. The most recent charge, one of fraud under $5,000, dates back to March 11. On that date, Miller is alleged to have entered the Real Canadian Superstore on Columbia Street in Sahali and returned for refund items he had not purchased.

Status as student at university remains unresolved X From A24

The expected guilty pleas come as a surprise, given Miller’s persistent insistence — both in court and in interviews with KTW — that he is innocent. Miller has attended one meeting as a member of TRU’s senate. He has yet to be sworn in as a member of the school’s board of governors. The university has said officials there will wait until his legal matters are sorted out before deciding how to proceed with his status as a student and an elected representative. In November, Miller ran unsuccessfully for a seat on the Kamloops-Thompson school district’s board of education. Many of his breach charges stem from a mischief conviction last year in Prince George. In that instance, Miller trashed an apartment he had been living in while he was in the process of being evicted. Miller is also in the process of suing TRU, alleging the university has been negligent in its dealings with him as a student. In January, days after Miller’s election to the school’s senate

WOOD IS GOOD... & IT’S GETTING BETTER

Today’s wood stoves have much improved technology than old stoves; Secondary air injection re-burns the smoke before it enters the chimney, reducing particulate and toxin emissions to practically zero.This increases the combustion process, practi– cally eliminating chimney ﬁres when properly used, and as an added bonus,reduces fuel consumption by a min 1/3. As a result, wood heat is enjoying a Renaissance revival in old fashioned reliability and comfort as wood is carbon neutral and now even safer and cleaner, and can be installed in any existing or new construction home economicaly. I also offer chimney cleaning services, brick repair, and WETT inspection for insurance company compliance.

out of school for nonpayment of funds. Miller took the matter to an emer-

gency hearing in B.C. Supreme Court. He lost, but was able to come up with

$539 — the amount he was owing on tuition charges — and remain enrolled.

We wish we could see you one more time come walking through our doors But we know that is impossible. We hear your voice no more and know you can feel our tears though you don’t want us to cry yet. Our hearts are broken because we can’t understand why someone so precious had to die. We realize your life on Earth is through but we’re thankful for all the memories. Seeds of love, planted in our hearts, by a woman whose life was so honest and true! In precious memory of Iolanda Guido who walked through Heaven’s gate April 14, 2011.

Mom, you are dearly loved and missed by your family

She Walks in Beauty She walks in beauty, like the night Of cloudless climes and starry skies; And all that’s best of dark and bright Meet in her aspect and her eyes: Thus mellowed to that tender light Which heaven to gaudy day denies. One shade the more, one ray the less, Had half impaired the nameless grace Which waves in every raven trees, Or softly lightens o’er her face; Where thoughts serenely sweet express How pure, how dear their dwelling place. And on the cheek, and o’er that brow, So soft, so calm, so eloquent, The smiles that win, the tints that glow; But tell of days in goodness spent, A mind of peace with all below, A heart whose love is innocent!

TRAVEL

Cruising Turkey like millionaires By Andrew Renton SPECIAL TO KTW travelwriterstales.com

RUNCH TIME! “I’ve booked our “gulet” and need to send a deposit right away. “You’ve all given your OK and I am going ahead on that basis.” This red-tagged email from our trip organizer appears in my in box on a wet November day. The time for planning over copious bottles of plonk is over. No more “Whatif’s.” Too bad if Fred breaks his leg playing hockey or Jane gets laid off, or the old furnace blows just before the May departure date. All 18 of us are on the hook! A gulet began as a traditional, Turkish, two masted wooden schooner. An ideal design for fishing, sponging, cargo moving — even plundering the odd Greek Island way back when. Today, the word “gulet” conjures up images of lolling around on richly upholstered deck cushions, sipping bubbly under a relentless Mediterranean sun and pigging out on delectable meals, served up on white tablecloths by impeccable, unobtrusive staff. The only stress may come from choosing activities for the day.

Perhaps a quiet bay for lunch? A swim? A nice snooze while the captain steams into a small village for a touch of carpet trading? Does that sound like an ad for “Freedom 55” or “Yikes, ma, we’ve just won the lottery”? Smart Turkish boatbuilders from around Bodrum and Marmaris spotted cruising potential back in the early 1970s. With the promise of pristine islands, untramelled beaches and secluded bays a mere pitcher’s toss away, tourists began looking for boats to charter. Before long, master craftsmen were beavering away with hammers, saws and chisels at beach-side shipyards to fill the demand. Monster vessels with shining wooden decks and luxurious en-suite, air-conditioned cabins started rolling from slipways into the sea, each requiring a year or more to construct Today, we arrive in the small South Western Turkish port of Gocek in dribs and drabs. Some had chosen to add side trips along the way. To get nine couples to commit to a date for a dinner party is formidable enough, never mind a commitment for 10 days on a boat, seven months previously and thousands of kilometres away.

Surely a nonstarter? Unless you have a skilled, no-nonsense, organizer — as we do. Fast forward to May 24. Our gulet Cemre 4, all 30 metres of her, sits at the dock gleaming in the sunshine. Her chef is wheeling the last of the supplies up the gangplank. Two boatboys are already fluffing up her cushions and polishing rails. Captain Hayati Arabali has just finished checking the cabins and greets us with a warm Turkish smile. Two major issues have already been settled. Firstly, a lottery for the choice of cabins. Secondly, following extensive wine and beer tastings at the local supermarket we settle on the “poison” of choice. After all, cruising is thirsty work. To avoid total inertia, it was decided we would make two shore excursions each day and spend the eve-

nings at anchor in a perfect bay. For 10 days, we explore the Lycian tombs at Myra, join the pilgrims at the Church of St. Nicholas — where the bones of “Santa Claus” have lain since his death in AD 343 — sing lustily in the ancient ruins of the theatre in Kas and buy enough carpets to open a scad of stores back home. We eat scrumptious dinners in deserted bays and share empty white sand beaches with goats. We celebrate birthdays, wedding anniversaries and toast our persuasive leader, without whom this experience would surely never have happened. The cost for 10 days of living like millionaires? About $100 per person per day. The verdict? “Where to next year?” Travel Writers’ Tales is a newspaper syndicate that offers travel articles to newspapers.

Siblings scale new heights By Marty Hastings STAFF REPORTER

sports@kamloopsthisweek.com

WO OF Canada’s best indoor climbers are right here in the River City. Robert and Alison Stewart-Patterson, the brother and sister duo that trains at Cliffside Climbing Gym, are both shoo-ins to make Canada’s youth team. They’ve both been scaling structures for a long time. “My brother climbed out of his crib when he was not even a year old,” said Alison, an 18-year-old South Kamloops secondary student. Robert won a gold medal in speed climbing and a bronze medal in lead (difficulty) climbing in the 16- and 17-year-old boys’ division at the Western Canada Regional Open and Youth Climbing Competition, held in Saanich from Friday, April 6, to Sunday, April 8. He set a Canadian record in speed climbing in the process, scampering up a 15-metre wall with a five-degree overhang in 10.17 seconds. That’s not even his best time — Robert climbed the same wall in 9.817 seconds outside of official competition. Alison, competing

in the 18- and 19-yearold girls’ division, took home bronze in both lead and speed climbing. Both siblings will attend the Youth and Open National Championships, held in Montreal from May 19 to May 21. Their results from that event will be combined with the recent results from regionals. If their scores are among the top four in Canada in their respective divisions, they will qualify for the national team, which will compete in Singapore at the Youth World Championships this summer. Both siblings are hoping to make the semifinal round — which would secure a top-26 finish — at the world championships. The StewartPattersons are no strangers to the youth national team. Alison has been a Team Canada member for four years. During that time, she has attended world championships in Australia, France, Scotland and Austria. Robert was too young for the Australia trip, but toured on the Canadian team with his sister on all the others. Climbing is not an Olympic event and it is mighty tough to make a

SPORTS SCENE THIS WEEK Rattlers slither into regular season The Kamloops Rattlers open their Thompson Okanagan Senior Lacrosse League (TOSLL) season against Vernon at 8 p.m. on Friday, April 13, at Memorial Arena. Kamloops had a strong pre-season, with its biggest win coming against last year’s league champions, the Kelowna Raiders, at an icebreaker tournament in March. Vernon and Armstrong, along with Kamloops and Kelowna, make up the TOSLL. Tickets are $5 for adults and $2 for children. Season tickets are $20 and will be available at the door. Minor lacrosse players who wear their team jersey and are accompanied by an adult get in free. The Rattlers are scheduled to play six regular-season home games this season.

Plenty of action in the water Water polo is coming to Kamloops. The under-12 and under-14 Evergreen Invitational Championships will be held at the Canada Games Aquatic Centre from Friday, April 13, to Sunday, April 15. There will be about 200 participants on 14 teams from B.C. and Alberta vying for gold. The tournament gets underway on Friday afternoon. On Saturday and Sunday, the action runs all day.

One last stand for WolfPack Alison and Robert Stewart-Patterson are climbing up the national ranks. Dave Eagles/KTW

living through the sport. There is a senior World Cup circuit, which Robert has aspirations to compete on, but it’s not an easy road. “You can compete on the world circuit and make your living, but there’s not much of a living to be made,” he said.

“It’s kind of a smaller sport right now. “And, I’d have to put in a huge amount of training just to get to that level.” When the StewartPattersons age out of the junior ranks, they won’t be too upset if climbing doesn’t pay the bills. The sport has already

given them enough. “I’ve been to world championships, a World Cup event, lots of national championships and regional events,” Alison said. “Along the way, I’ve met so many people to share the passion with and I just love the sport.”

Norbrock Stadium is the location for the TRU WolfPack baseball team’s last homestand of the season. The WolfPack (5-6) are hosting two games on Saturday, April 14. At noon, the Pack will play Okanagan College. At 6 p.m., TRU is hosting Vancouver Island Baseball Institute (VIBI). On Sunday, April 15, the Pack will host VIBI at 10 a.m. before squaring off with Okanagan College at 3 p.m. TRU is hosting the Canadian College Baseball Conference championship tournament from May 10 to May 13 at Norbrock.

The announced attendance for Game 3 of the Western Conference seminal series with the Portland Winterhawks was 3,712. In no way, shape or form am I saying the lack of fans had anything to do with the Blazers’ 5-2 loss, which gave Portland a 3-0 series lead. I don’t want to lay blame at anyone’s feet for the small crowd, either. I just want to get my opinion out there — it was embarrassing for the team and the city. The players noticed the empty seats. Here are a few of their comments. Kamloops forward Jordan DePape: “It

MARTY HASTINGS The Reporter’s RAMBLINGS would obviously be nice if the arena is filled with fans, but that is out of our control. “When it comes down to playoffs, we can’t think about that.” Blazer forward Tim Bozon said Portland’s crowd had a big hand in influencing the outcome of Game 1. “Yeah, the difference was maybe this,” he said, noting the 6,000-plus fans helped shift momentum when Portland scored its second goal en route to a comeback victory on Friday, April 6, in the Rose City. Bozon, like all the

Blazers who spoke to KTW, thanked the people who did show up on Tuesday. “I don’t want to say anything about the fans. They do what they do and they try to be loud, but it’s only 3,000 or something.” There were 6,445 fans at Memorial Coliseum in Portland for Game 2 on Saturday, April 7. Kamloops D-man Austin Madaisky said a Portland-Kamloops comparison is unfair, given the American city’s population of more than 580,000. The defenceman did say it would be nice to see more fans out for Game 4 at ISC on Wednesday, April 11. “It’s a little bit surprising,” he said on Tuesday. “Hopefully we see a couple more fans out [on Wednesday].” Winterhawk forward Brad Ross, who scored four goals on Tuesday, talked about what he

saw — or didn’t see — in the ISC stands. “I know it wasn’t sold out tonight, which I’m sure is a little disappointing for the players because, when we’ve got 6,000 fans, it’s an adrenaline rush. “When they’re screaming and we’ve got the pressure on it kind of gives us a second wind.” Professional fan Cameron Hughes, who was hired by the Blazers to do his thing in games 3 and 4, was firing up the crowd on Tuesday. Hughes said he thought the barn would be packed. “I thought it would be full, yeah,” he said. “I don’t know, maybe it’s because it’s Tuesday night.” The Blazer players were careful with what they said on record, as they should have been, but I’m willing to bet they were far less political behind closed doors.

Injured Kamloops netminder Cole Cheveldave retweeted this KTW tweet: “3,712 is embarrassing for this city.”

I don’t care how long it’s been since the Blazers produced in the post-season. This year’s team won the B.C. Division

and made it to the second round of the playoffs after sweeping Victoria. The players deserved better.

Three athletes have joined the TRU WolfPack ranks.

Ron artfully deﬁes the doctors Karla Pearce The Creative EDGE

EETING RON CHERTKOW IS MEMORABLE. He’ll greet you with a smile and handshake, ask your full name, repeat it and then store it away in his brain. He won’t ever forget it. Chertkow has autism and is on the savant part of the disorder’s spectrum, giving him some unique skills, not the least of which is remembering names — and pretty much anything else he commits to those memory cells. He can also speak 13 languages. Many Kamloopsians, however, know him for his remarkable artwork. This wasn’t the story doctors had originally crafted for Chertkow when he was a child. Instead, recognizing the many other characteristics that define autism, they told his parents he should be institutionalized. The Chertkows weren’t about to do that. X See NO B2

Ron Chertkow will again be at the Canada Day Art in the Park with his many creations on display and for sale. Chertkow, who has autism, has developed a unique creative style that combines an youthful exuberance for colour with technical perfection. Each piece of art starts with a blue background — and the colours grow from there. Karla Pearce photos

No artistic touchups for Chertkowâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s works X From B1

Instead, they worked with their son, helping him adapt to the world and explore his gifts. One of his first art teachers was Trish Sellmer, who started by showing him how to work with chalks. Chertkow hasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t looked back since moving on to other media. He starts his paintings by covering his canvas in a shade of blue, establishing a cool background. He builds up his subject â&#x20AC;&#x201D; usually either floral or landscape â&#x20AC;&#x201D; with clean linear brushstrokes, defining shapes. Chertkow then paints with increasingly warmer colours and finishes by putting on the lightest

touches of warm tones and highlights. The approach is the same every time. He never returns to a piece of art to make corrections â&#x20AC;&#x201D; likely because he doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t make mistakes. Chertkowâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s paintings are bold with colour and have a child-like quality expressed with the skill level of an advanced painter. He has no idea how many pieces of art he has created, but itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s in the hundreds. Chertkow has shown his paintings at the Kamloops Arts Councilâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Juried Art Show, the Downtown ArtWalk and the Canada DayArt in the Park, where he will be

again this year, selling his paintings and art cards. Karla Pearce is owner

and director of Karla Pearce Art Gallery in downtown Kamloops.

Cat’s collecting CD cash By Dale Bass STAFF REPORTER dale@kamloopsthisweek.com

Fresh off a Maple Blues Award for best new artist, Sabrina Weeks and Swing Cat Bounce are eager to get back into the studio. The band’s first recording, Tales From Lenny’s Diner, took the Kamloops band to Toronto for the prestigious awards and has been getting plenty of radio airplay. Weeks and partner Mike Hilliard have been busy writing for the next recording. They’ve got seven songs roughed out, another three well on their way to perfection and an August goal to hit the studio again. There’s only one problem — money. Weeks said the band needs about $8,000 to create a sophomore recording that will let it use the studio it wants to use — Jack Lavin is in mind to produce, as he did with Lenny’s — and a plan to add some background vocals. As with many bands working to get its names known and its music heard, Swing Cat doesn’t have that kind of cash sitting around — so the group

has turned to one novel fundraiser and one tried-and-true. The novel? Social media and, in particular, an online fundraising website, kapipal.com. It’s basically an Internet site where people can donate money and, so far, the band has collected about $1,200 through it and from friends just sending cheques. The link for the band is kapipal.com/8424d9 3a835444de8a7ef4c99b 37e6b4. The tried-and-true? Weeks and bandmates are taking to the stage at the Kamloops Convention Centre theatre on Saturday, April 28, for a fundraising concert. They will showcase their music, draw for some prizes and, hopefully, add to the recordagain bank account. Tickets for the show are $20 in advance and $25 at the door. Tickets are available through swingcatbounce.shawwebspace. ca or by email to swingcatbounce@shaw.ca. Weeks said ideally, the band would like to have the new CD in time for its first Ontario tour, scheduled for midSeptember.

Sabrina Weeks, Mike Hilliard and the rest of the members of Swing Cat Bounce are raising money to record a new CD. The group has opted for two methods, an online donation site and something that’s old hat for the band — performing for Kamloopsians. KTW file photo

Singing for supper So, whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s in an nine-course meal? The one being served at the Kamloops Art Gallery includes: Course 1: Chefs charcuterie family style, housemade prosciutto, chicken-liver pate, smoked hock and quail terrine, strawberry pepper gelee roast garlic confit and lamb jerky; Course 2: Frothy six-onion soup; Course 3: Braised pork belly with balsamic fig reduction; Course 4: Crab and avocado salad with cucumber, marinated cherry tomatoes and sherry vinaigrette; Course 5: Foie gras carpaccio with fingerling potatoes and truffle; Course 6: Salmon fresca angel-hair pasta; Course 7: Guiness-braised beef short ribs; Course 8: Fruit salad caviar; and Course 8: Ice wine-poached pear with maple butter, vanilla-bean ice cream.

By Dale Bass STAFF REPORTER dale@kamloopsthisweek.com

Somehow, it just doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t seem fair. Neil Harnett will be providing the entertainment at a nine-course dinner at the Kamloops Art Gallery â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll likely just get a doggie bag to take home with him. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m going to be playing during the meal,â&#x20AC;? Harnett said from his White Rock home, â&#x20AC;&#x153;and then Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m doing a set, so I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know when Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m going to get time to eat.â&#x20AC;? He can probably get away with complaining about it, though, since the caterer for the 48-seat dinner is his son, Shawn Harnett, of At Your Touch Catering.

Having dad perform ‘a no-brainer’ for caterer X From B4

Neil Harnett will be featured at a special dinner to raise money for the Kamloops Art Gallery and Kamloops Brain Injury Association.

She is still recovering, Neil said, and the goal is to someday help her find her way to living on her own, with supportive care in place. For now, she lives at home and continues therapies to recover from the life-altering accident. “She has made incredible progress,” Neil said. “We’re really proud of her.” His desire to raise awareness of and money to help with brain injuries led the musical Harnett to try out for Canada’s Got Talent. “I thought it would help me get a profile,” Neil said, “and it was a wonderful event. “The judges absolutely loved me. We had a great story, Amy’s story, and some of them were holding back tears. “They loved my music, they said — but they didn’t move me on to the semis.” Looking back, Neil

said, he thinks the producers are more interested in finding budding talent than someone at his level — having been nominated for a Juno Award a few years ago for best new male artist. He lost to Daniel Lanois. Now, Neil said, he’s writing songs, working on a new collection, learning more about the role social media plays in exposing younger demographics to music— “just working on the next step.” He’s equally proud of Shaw, who moved to Kamloops just a few years ago and recently celebrated his fifth anniversary as a caterer in the River City. The official caterer for the art gallery, he’ll be hosting the dinner there on April 19. It includes eight courses of food, five glasses of wine, other beverages and refreshments, hors d’oeuvres, a

Van Django’s gypsy roots fuse with country and classics By Dale Bass STAFF REPORTER dale@kamloopsthisweek.com

Budge Schacte (left) and Cameron Wilson, two of the members of Van Django, perform in Kamloops tonight.

Invite the whole community to your next brownie meeting, hockey game or gala evening with a couple of clicks.

When Van Django takes the stage tonight, it won’t be an evening of gypsy jazz. In fact, those who know the group might wonder what happened to it as it will be just Cameron Wilson and Budge Schacte preparing to play. It’s a new incarnation of the Vancouver band, one that’s heading out for the gig tonight (April 12) and another one in Quesnel before heading back to the Coast and the quartet configuration (Finn Manniche and Brent Gubbels round it out) with which most fans are most familiar. Wilson, the violinist, said the music he and his longtime friend will be playing will also be different; there will still be the gypsy melodies, but there will be some tango, some country —even a little Bach — on the playlist. “We’re paring down for this

one,” Wilson said, “and it will be more eclectic.” The four-member Van Django — Schacte plays guitar, Manniche is on cello and Gubbels on bass — is known for its punchy, rhythmic music that draws much of its influence from the jazz heard in France in the 1930s. Their sets are as likely to have Beatles songs as they are Stephane Grappelli — the jazz violinist who fuelled that French jazz scene in the ‘30s and a performer Wilson saw play when he was barely in his teens and still looking for the musical genre that would influence him. Tonight’s show is at the Stage House Theatre, 422 Tranquille Rd. at 7:30 p.m. Tickets are $25 and available at the Kamloops Live Box Office, 1025 Lorne St., 250-374-5483, kamloopslive. ca There may also be some tickets available at the door.

Don’t count on it, Taurus. Just because someone says they will do something doesn’t mean they will. Have a backup plan just in case. A phone call results in a flurry of activity.

WE, THE undersigned armed terrorist groups, hereby promise to stop all violence in Syria and surrender all our weapons to the Syrian regime. We will no longer carry out the orders of Israel, the United States, Turkey, Qatar and Saudi Arabia, who have been financing our campaign of armed terrorism against the Syrian people. Love, the terrorists of the Free Syrian Army.â&#x20AC;? As soon as Bashar al-Assadâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s regime in Syria gets â&#x20AC;&#x153;written guaranteesâ&#x20AC;? from â&#x20AC;&#x153;armed terrorist groupsâ&#x20AC;? to surrender, announced the Syrian foreign ministry on April 8, it will comply with its promise to withdraw its tanks and artillery from rebellious Syrian cities. Sorry, no, thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s more. The regime also wants â&#x20AC;&#x153;guarantees of commitment by the governments of Qatar, Saudi Arabia and Turkey to stop financing the armed terrorist groups.â&#x20AC;? The United Nations and the Arab League thought they had a deal. The Syrian government had promised the mediator, former UN Secretary-General Kofi Annan, that it would remove all its heavy

GWYNNE DYER World WATCH weapons from urban areas by April 10, and accept a complete cease-fire by the 12th. But then Damascus announced the international community had been â&#x20AC;&#x153;mistakenâ&#x20AC;? to think that it was really going to pull its troops out. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Kofi Annan has until now not furnished to the Syrian government written guarantees about the acceptance of the armed terrorist groups to stop violence in all its forms, and their readiness to surrender their weapons so that state authority can spread on all territory,â&#x20AC;? the statement said. In other words, as soon as the prodemocracy side surrenders unconditionally, â&#x20AC;&#x153;peaceâ&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x201D; i.e., the tyranny of the Baath regime â&#x20AC;&#x201D; will be restored.

Assad has no fear of outside intervention try willing to use military force against Syria they had no leverage whatever. If Assad really pulled all his troops out of Syrian cities, they would then immediately fall into the hands of the opposition, so he wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t going to do that. The senior people at the UN and the Arab League who approved the deal were hoping at least to put an end to the Syrian regimeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s use of massive force against civilians. Assad was obviously not going to meekly give up power, but many innocent lives would be saved if he could just be persuaded to stop using tanks and artillery against cities. He would probably continue killing his opponents on a retail basis, but the wholesale killing would stop. However, Assad only agreed to the UN proposal in the first place because Russia and China needed some diplomatic cover if they were to go on vetoing any action against Syria by the Security Council. But, it turns out no country is willing to pay the price in lives of a military intervention in Syria anyway, so it doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t really matter what the Security Council says â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and moving to a lower-profile strategy would have a significant cost for the regime. Suppressing the uprising one murder at a time, with the regimeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s intelligence services and â&#x20AC;&#x153;special forcesâ&#x20AC;? operating in hostile urban areas, would cost them a lot of casualties. The regime calculated the likelihood of foreign military intervention, concluded it was zero and reneged on the deal. It was worth trying to de-escalate the conflict, but it isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t going to happen. X See ATTEMPTED B13

An attempted revolution X From B12

Shelling cities with tanks and artillery is a highly inefficient way of restoring government control over them, but it keeps the casualties down on the regime side. So, has the Assad regime won despite the deaths of 9,000 protesters? Probably. Non-violent resistance to tyranny is a powerful tool, but no political technique works every time without fail â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and Syriaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Baath Party was always a hard target. It is a single-party regime that is dominated by and mainly serves the interests of a minority, the Alawites (only 10 per cent of the population), who fear catastrophic revenge by the majority if they lose power. However, it also has significant support from other minorities, nota-

bly the Christians and the Druze. Most of the people in these groups have swallowed the guff about â&#x20AC;&#x153;armed terrorist groups,â&#x20AC;? and they are all terrified of majority rule, which they are convinced would hand power to the Sunni Muslims (70 per cent of the population). That was not the goal of the original protesters, who genuinely believed in a non-sectarian Syrian democra-

cy, but the Assad regime is adroit at the game of divide-and-rule. The prospect of a non-violent transition to a democratic Syria that commands the loyalty of all the countryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s religious and ethnic groups has vanished. The people who tried to make that happen were astoundingly brave, and they kept their protests entirely peaceful for seven months despite extreme regime violence, but

now most of them have either been killed or they have taken up arms. The remaining options are both bad. If Assad succeeds in suppressing all resistance, Syria will be an even more oppressive and unjust place than it was before. If he only partially succeeds, it will open the way to an all-against-all civil war like the one that devastated Lebanon from 1975 to 1990. There is no plausible third option. Am I saying an Assad victory is Syriaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s best remaining option? No, I cannot bring myself to say that. But, I think I am writing the epitaph of Syriaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s attempted nonviolent revolution. Gwynne Dyer is a London-based journalist whose articles are published in 45 countries.

BC HOMESHOWS: April 13, 14, 15 - McArthur Island Sports Centre

Interiorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s largest home show returns If last weekendâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s glorious sunshine wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t sign enough spring is here, then a trip to McArthur Island this coming weekend will confirm Old Man Winter has been turned away for good. This weekend marks the return of the annual spring edition of the Kamloops Home and Leisure Show, which rolls into McArthur Island Sport and Event Centre for three days â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Friday, April 13, Saturday, April 14, and Sunday, April 15. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We are the Tournament Capital of Canada, but we are also the Home Show Capital of Canada,â&#x20AC;? said organizer Jim Rice, who created BC HomeShows in 1998.

This weekendâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s spring-show hours are Friday (5 p.m. to 9 p.m.), Saturday (10 a.m. to 6 p.m.) and Sunday (10 a.m. to 4 p.m.). As usual, admission is free. This weekendâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s event features more than 180 exhibitors set to show their wares to the thousands who will visit McArthur Island. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s still the best place to come for ideas on building plans, renovation, landscaping, leisure â&#x20AC;&#x201D; just about anything that has to do with your home,â&#x20AC;? Rice said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There will be lots of new products and services. Consumers have a great opportunity of selection.â&#x20AC;? Exhibitors from throughout

B.C. and from across Western Canada will take part in the Interiorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s largest home show. A word of advice for those wishing to attend. Since the home show is extremely popular and can be busy, Rice said the best time to attend is right when the doors open. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You miss the rush and you get good parking,â&#x20AC;? he said, noting parking has improved at the McArthur Island Sport and Event Centre. BC HomeShows Ltd. has been staging home shows for 14 years and serves the communities of Kamloops, Kelowna, Merritt, Penticton, Salmon Arm and Vernon.

BC HOMESHOWS: April 13, 14, 15 - McArthur Island Sports Centre

Keep cool under the sun — and with costs After a long winter indoors, spring is a popular time for Canadians to refresh their space with a deep, thorough cleaning. As homeowners make their to-do lists this spring, they should remember to include their indoor-comfort systems. Taking care of your home’s heating and cooling system will help create a comfortable environment while saving money for your family. This spring, the Heating, Refrigeration and Air Conditioning Institute of Canada (HRAI) is offering tips for homeowners to refresh their indoor environments, while taking control of the maintenance and efficiency of their home’s valuable HVAC system: 1. Get rid of dust: A dirty filter reduces air flow, forcing your HVAC system to work harder. By simply replacing the furnace filters on a regular basis, energy use can be reduced by up to 15 per cent. Eliminating dust build-up in the aircirculation system (including vents) is also important — and don’t forget to clean the exhaust fans in bathrooms and kitchens, which can have an effect on the efficiency

of air flow throughout the home. 2. Commission a home-energy evaluation: Audit can seem like a scary concept, but when it comes to a home-energy evaluation or audit, the results can be very beneficial. By engaging a certified professional, homeowners will learn where energy is being lost and can realize significant cost savings on home energy bills, often up to 30 per cent, while improving the resale value of the home. In many provinces, government rebates are offered for this important service. 3. Pay attention to a/c noise levels: For many homeowners, spring cleaning is the first time in the season their home’s thermostat makes the switch from ‘heat’ to ‘cool’. When first utilizing air conditioning this spring, there are some telltale signs that your system is in need of immediate maintenance or repair. Excessive levels of noise from the fans or compressors or vibration from the cabinet unit, are indications that you should call in the professionals. Go online to hrai.ca for more information.

Light up your life… with a sunroom, that is. Experts say it’s the one home addition that can bring the best of outdoor living indoors, year-round. More comfortable than an outdoor deck that’s often too hot, too cold and besieged by bugs, a sunroom can bring natural, invigorating light into your life, whatever the season. The best, most energy-efﬁcient sunrooms and Englishstyle conservatories add value to any home, while also providing your family with the most beautiful, open, bright living space in your home. “If you’re thinking of putting an ordinary, stickand-stones addition on your home – think again!” says James Ruppel, marketing director at Four Seasons Sunrooms.“There is an extraordinary alternative!” “Our new sunroom lets us live in a winter wonderland with the illusion that we are sitting in a glistening wintry forest – but without the cold winter wind!” says Frank Humphrey of Oak Hill, VA. “The most important consideration for anyone considering a glass room addition is to ensure

you get the most energy-efﬁcient glass available,” Ruppel said.“The wrong glass can make a room too hot in summer and too cold in winter, putting you right back where you were with your patio or deck.” Some tips to help you see your way clear to choosing the right glass: Check the R-Value: The higher the R-value, the greater the insulating effectiveness, the lower your energy costs and the greater your comfort. Look for an R-value of at least 4.0. Relative Heat Gain: High Heat Gain values indicate a room that will be unbearably hot or expensive to keep cool. Look for a glass that has a Relative Heat Gain number lower than 40. Warranty: The best indicator of the quality of the glass in your sunroom may be its warranty. Look for a warranty of 20 years or more. “Now our sunroom is the most used room in the house,” said John Ostrominski of Niceville, Fla. “Our only regret is that we didn’t purchase our sunroom many years earlier.”

Create an outdoor ‘room’ with a view Imagine your own little garden getaway. You may want a spot for entertaining friends, or for a cozy retreat to curl up with a book. A good trick is to think about the elements of your favourite room and then find ways to recreate them outside.

The perfect spot Decide where your little outdoor getaway will be located. It could be the patio, the front porch, a balcony or a cozy corner of the yard. You’ll probably be spending more time there than anyone else, so make sure the area is as sunny or shady as you like it.

Deﬁne your space You’ll need to put up “walls” to make it feel

just like a room. Use part of your fence, big potted plants, a trellis — or simply arrange furniture to create privacy and separation. Also, lay down patio tiles or an outdoor rug to define your “floor” and further separate your room from the yard.

The lived-in look When it comes to furnishings, consider old patio furniture or weather-resistant indoor furniture. If pieces are mismatched, all the better — the point is to go for an eclectic, casual look. Benches and rocking chairs are a great touch and very affordable. Add outdoor cushions in vivid colours and prints to all the seats.

Set the tables Old tables can be easily adjusted to better suit your outdoor area. Table legs can be cut down and lowered to a

more comfortable height for playing games or enjoying refreshments. Plastic tables can be draped with a pretty floral tablecloth and wooden tables can be unevenly sanded

to create that great distressed look.

Lighten up Proper lighting is essential for entertaining on summer evenings and

for creating the perfect ambience in your garden getaway. Light from candles, lamps or illuminated planters make a big difference with a splash of colour.

Very popular this year, for example, are the affordable President’s Choice solar illuminated multicoloured planters. More tips on creating a room with a view are available online at pc.ca.

Gazebos add to your summer pleasure

O YOU DREAM of a peaceful gazebo for your back-

yard? Do you desire an attractive little pavilion where you can relax, hide

from the sun’s midday heat or dine with friends, al fresco? Whether you imagine it to be circular, square

e th ! t a w ou sho y e e Se om H

or hexagonal, nothing is stopping you from creating the gazebo you’d love to have. Just head out to the Kamloops Home and Leisure Show this weekend, get some advice and

pull out your saws and hammers. A gazebo is relatively easy to build as there are no walls involved — and

straightforward plans and gazebo kits are readily available in stores. If you decide to go for a personalized design, your biggest challenge will be in cutting the framework to size. However you approach this project, you should always check Kamloops building regulations before getting down to work. Once you have obtained a construction permit, prepare the ground with a layer of limestone gravel compacted with a roller. There are many architectural styles from which to choose, ranging from simple to extremely complicated. Four, six, or eight sides, closed or open — it all depends on what you will use it for. To guide you in your choice of style, remem-

ber that a gazebo can be enjoyed as much by the children as by their parents. You might want to make it big enough to include a play area, a place for family meals or

a relaxing corner for reading. Think about adding trellises or mosquito screens on the sides, as well as double doors or an up-andover opening to ensure your gazebo is as user-

friendly as possible. Landscaping around the gazebo is also an important element of this project. Once it is covered in vegetation, the gazebo will blend beautifully into your backyard.

Homeward bound — with some new food ideas

ATERLOO, DAY 3. “Several months ago, when Hildi first asked me to step up to this stage,” I began, “I knew I had to say yes before taking any time to think about today when I’d actually stand here in my size seven shoes, in the footsteps of giants, the floor still warm from the feet of a Giller Prize winner.” Last night, in front of an audience of about 75, I’d just stepped up to a chapel lectern and in front of a video camera that had already, over several Wednesdays, recorded some of Canada’s finest writers and scholars. I arranged the notes I’d spent five weeks obsessing over and began an hour-long presentation about how my life informs my work. “If I thought about it right now,” I continued, “I can tell you DARCIE HOSSACK that the marrow in my bones Bon would wobble like the jelly salad APPÉTIT at a Mennonite potluck and one of you would have to scurry up here with a handful of paper napkins to scoop me up.” Facing this audience, mostly made up of Mennonites from Kitchener/Waterloo, there was nothing to be except authentic. Even about being a fraud. “I’ve heard a few things I think you should all know about Darcie Friesen Hossack,” I said. “Like, that she pulled up her Mennonite roots when she

was 13 years old and spent more than a decade as a Seventh Day Adventist. “Or, that she didn’t know the name of a single Mennonite author until she was almost 30. “And more, she’s Mennonite on her mother’s side only, and is therefore not really entitled to the name Friesen.” And yet: “Even while I am a prodigal daughter, I am Mennonite.” Throughout the hour, I read from my short stories in Mennonites Don’t Dance and debuted an excerpt from a novelin-progress (where Seventh Day Adventists will join the narrative), while silently thanking my mother for years of music lessons. Dozens upon dozens of solo performances in various churches now serve me well when I have to speak in public. Although, last night was not quite like any other. Even though this is only my second trip to Ontario, speaking to this audience was a homecoming of sorts. When it was over — once the questions and congratulations went quiet and I’d signed my last title page — Hildi and Paul (whose lecture will conclude the series next week) ferried me back to their home, where they arranged a cheese board, opened a bottle of wine and a jar of rhubarb jam I’d brought as a gift from home. I thanked them for all they’d done, for gathering me under their umbrella. Now, it’s noon on my final day in Waterloo and only a few hours remain before my return flight home. Before a late lunch, Hildi takes me to an Italian market, where she shops for a few ingredients and I busy myself picking out presents for Chefhusband. A jar of blackcurrant curd and a promising new pizza cutter.

C re

am of brocc oli so up

1/2 medium onion, diced 2 tbsp. butter 5 cups chopped broccoli florets 4 cups chicken stock 1 cup cream kosher salt/freshly ground pepper In a large pot over medium heat, cook onion in butter until translucent. Stir in broccoli. Add stock and simmer 15 to 30 minutes, until broccoli is very tender. Transfer into a blender. Puree until smooth. Return to pot and heat gently. Season with salt and pepper. Stir in cream. A ceramic urn for holding wooden spoons. The urn will fit our modern townhome and its clean lines. But, when I get it back to Hildi and Paul’s, I can’t help but compare it — and all my plain white dishes — to the cupboards and shelves full of artisan plates and bowls, platters and cups, in earthy shades of blue-green, collected from local potters and from around the world. In them, over the last few days, I’ve been served delicate arctic char, breakfasts of homemade granola, freshly pulled Americanos and, now, as Hildi takes a pot off the stove, a satin-smooth cream of broccoli soup that will send me on my way. nicefatgurdie.wordpress.com onepotato2potato@shaw.ca.

FAITH

The effects of Resurrection weekends

OW THAT ANOTHER EASTER, OR RESURRECTION, IS OVER, WHAT’S NEXT? How did the celebration of last weekend affect our lives or will this weekend and beyond? I thank God for the resurrection of Jesus from the grave and what it means to us. The Bible tells us clearly that one day all shall be resurrected (1 Cor. 15:22). Psalm 16, the “mystery psalm,” gives one of the fullest explanations in this regard. NARAYAN MITRA David wrote therein: “You will You Gotta Have not leave my soul FAITH in the grave, nor will you allow your Holy One to see corruption.” But King David’s body did decay. What did he mean by those words? There’s something puzzling about it when we read it in the context of the life of David. In Acts, chapter two, the mystery is unfolded. On the day of Pentecost when the Church was born, Peter quoted Psalm 16 and revealed its mystery in verses 25 to 28.

He spoke to the crowd in Jerusalem about the death and resurrection of Jesus which must have happened just a few weeks earlier. The subsequent verses 29 to 32 clear up the mystery. Psalm 16 is speaking not of the death and potential resurrection of David but of the Messiah, the Son of David, Jesus. The power of Resurrection is the central message of the psalm. Paul knew well about this power (Phil. 3:10). He goes on to say, “For our citizenship is in heaven” (vs. 20,21). Over and over again, the Bible speaks of this power in it various aspects. Only Almighty God can raise our body from dead. Jesus Christ is the resurrection and the life and, if we believe in Him, we will live forever even though we die. It’s fascinating David would say the goodness of his life is nothing apart from the Lord. The Bible teaches all our righteousness is like dirty rags in God’s sight. We might think that we have done some good thing in life - may be we have — but it is not our goodness that saves us. It’s the goodness of the Lord. But, David also expresses his delight in those who are believers, the saints, “the excellent ones.” When someone knows the Lord, he takes

delight in others who do likewise. I have come to find Christian friends are dearer and more loved than even my extended family members who do not know the Lord. I am always concerned when I run into a Christian who doesn’t like another believer. I wonder if he has thought about the problem of seeing the other person in heaven. May we better get used to liking each other down here if we are going to spend an eternity together! I have never seen a day in which people need stability like they do now. More people are going for psychiatric help and counsel than ever before. Last year, more people were addicted to alcohol and drugs than in history. In spite of all the blessings, people are disturbed, unhappy, and there’s much violence and hostility in our homes and communities. Peace has not come to human hearts. We are restless. We are after something and we don’t know what it is. The power of resurrection of Jesus Christ brings stability into our lives that the world knows nothing of. There are two things upon which this stability is based: • God’s constant presence. David said: “I have set the Lord always before me.” Some of us might be trying to run away

from God or to hid from Him. Maybe we are hoping He does not exist. But, according to the Bible, He is as close as our right hand (Deut. 31:6). When we can’t cope with life anymore, the Word of God says: “The Lord is always at our right hand.” He would never leave us. He is not a dead Christ. He is alive and His presence is real. • His mighty power. Stability is based not only on His constant presence but, upon His power to sustain us when we can’t take another step. I love to visit mortuaries; they fascinate me. The furniture is always dignified and somber. The colours used in decor are muted. Dealing constantly with death also produce a certain seriousness in the morticians,. I have often thought it would be great to have some triumphant music at a funeral, especially if the deceased was a believer. In contrast to a gloomy scene comes David’s wonderful promise: “You will not leave my soul in the grave.” But, very often the funeral-home scenario tells us the dead person is still in the body. If Jesus Christ was not raised from the dead, I have no desire to keep attending church or to continue preaching. We might as well “eat, drink and be merry, for tomorrow we die.” Narayan Mitra is a chaplain at Thompson Rivers University.
