Froese expected to plead guilty to kidnapping Convicted rapist also charged with sexual assault in Nov. 24 abduction By Tim Petruk STAFF REPORTER tim@kamloopsthisweek.com

A convicted rapist accused of abducting, drugging and sexually assaulting a Kamloops woman last year is apparently ready to come clean. Jack Froese, the 31-year-old serial rapist charged in connection with an incident in North Kamloops last November, is expected to enter guilty pleas in B.C.

Supreme Court as early as next week. Froese is facing counts of kidnapping, sexual assault and administering a noxious substance. It is alleged he violently abducted a Kamloops woman on Nov. 24, 2011, from the Tranquille Road store at which she worked. Police said at the time she was held and sexually assaulted over a period of hours. Mounties also allege

she was drugged during the ordeal. Froese was arrested the following day. He is expected to appear in B.C. Supreme Court on Monday, April 30, to set a date for a guilty plea and sentencing. Froese has a long criminal record, including multiple convictions for violent sexual offences, and has served lengthy terms in federal institutions. According to parole

documents, he has refused treatment in the past. In May 2011, when Froese was released from a federal prison and took up residence with family in Kamloops, he was the subject of a rare warning from the RCMP. Police at the time released his picture, a list of some of his past offences and the conditions he was to abide by in the community. After he was arrested in November, Kamloops RCMP Supt. Yves Lacasse said Mounties checked in on Froese 146 times in the 147 days he was living in Kamloops.

Jack Froese has a long criminal record, including multiple convictions for violent sexual offences

THE FROESE FILE This background information was published in KTW and on kamloopsthisweek.com following Froese’s arrest

in November 2011: Froese has a history of committing violent sexual assaults. According to his most recent decision from the Parole Board of Canada, he also has a history of disobeying release conditions. The decision, dated Feb. 21, 2008, ordered Froese detained for the remainder of his threeyear sentence in a federal penitentiary for sexual assault with a weapon and uttering threats. In the document, the Parole Board of Canada describes Froese as “still likely to commit an offence causing death or

serious bodily harm to another person.” The three-year sentence came after a June 2004 incident in Saskatoon, in which Froese held a hotel worker at knifepoint for 25 minutes as he raped and threatened to kill her. “Throughout the sexual offence, you held a knife at her throat and threatened to kill her if she yelled or resisted your intrusive actions,” the document reads. “This action clearly demonstrated your willingness to brutally harm her if your needs were not satisfied.” X See HIGH RISK A13

Widow to speak of losing her husband By Andrea Klassen STAFF REPORTER

andrea@kamloopsthisweek.com

On the day Brian fell, Terry Woodward was at home in Penticton, recovering from a fall of her own. Woodward, who has osteoporosis, had crushed the bones in her leg after an accident on the stairs and was still getting around with a cane. Her husband, Brian, an electrician, was on a job at an auto-lube shop in West Kelowna. That day, the oil-changing pits in the shop were covered by pieces of plywood held down with screws. Though warnings to walk around the pits were written on the wood, investigators later told Woodward workers had been walking over them all morning, many without realizing. “It could have been anybody,” she says, “but it was Brian.” Around 10:30 a.m. on July 16, 2009, Brian stepped onto the plywood. It collapsed, dropping him six feet. He was killed instantly.

The Woodward family, with Brian at right and, next to him, Terry.

“For days, I was just sort of overwhelmed by everything,” Woodward remembers. After 41 years of marriage, she says adjusting to life alone remains a struggle. The company in charge of the site, Grayback Construction Ltd., was fined almost $75,000 by Worksafe B.C. in 2011 as a result of Brian’s death.

But, Woodward has since learned Grayback plans to appeal the decision. That has prompted Woodward to start sharing Brian’s story, which she’ll do in Kamloops on Saturday, April 28, during this year’s Day of Mourning ceremony. The event is one of many across the country that pays tribute to those who have lost their lives on the job or due to work-related illness. The Kamloops event begins at 6 p.m. at St. Andrews on the Square at Seymour Street and Second Avenue. Woodward wants companies to see the consequences of giving safety measure short shrift because they’re inconvenient or too expensive. “It’s devastating and it’s senseless and it’s hard,” she says. “I know that people who have a husband or a child that is sick, it’s devastating. “But, at least they get to say goodbye. They get to talk to them. “But, I never had that with Brian. He was just gone. He was there in the morning and, by noon, he was gone.”

Charge laid in fatal accident A charge has now been laid almost a year to the day in connection with a 2011 Highway 6 fatal accident that killed a Kamloops man. Randy Duncan, 22, was driving a Ford F350 pickup with a female passenger and an infant when his truck was hit by a Super B tractor trailer unit at approximately 11:30 a.m. on April 28, 2011, 40 kilometres east of Cherryville. Duncan died at the scene. His female passenger was taken to Kelowna General Hospital with serious but non-life-threatening injuries. The infant was not injured. Terrance Edward Brown of Lavington, near Vernon, is facing a charge of operating a motor vehicle in a manner that is dangerous to the public causing death or injury.

Stranger danger Aberdeen elementary warned students this week about stranger danger after a suspicious incident. An email to parents followed an incident near Pacific Way elementary on Monday evening (April 23) in which a boy was offered a ride home by an unknown man. The boy told his soccer coach, who phoned police.

Prison pillow will replace gun in bed tim@kamloopsthisweek.com

A Kamloops drug dealer who slept with a loaded .45-calibre handgun under his pillow will spend the next four-plus years in a federal penitentiary. Travis Lewis was sentenced on Tuesday, April 24, in B.C. Supreme Court, after earlier pleading guilty to a string of drug, driving and weapons charges. The 23-year-old agreed to a plea bargain for four years and two months in jail. Federal Crown prosecutor Anthony Varesi said he would have otherwise been seeking a sentence of up to five years. Lewis was arrested on July 27, 2010, when Kamloops Mounties pulled him over for driving around the North Shore with a cracked windshield. A search turned up a plastic bag containing $600 worth of marijuana tucked into his waistband. Lewis was released on a promise to appear in court. Later in the year, police received information about a drugdealing operation running out of Lewisâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Sahali Terrace townhouse.

Mounties eventually received a search warrant and conducted a raid on Jan. 14, 2011. Inside, they found nearly 1,000 grams of marijuana, 147 grams of cocaine, 100 grams of magic mushrooms and a one-pound brick of hash â&#x20AC;&#x201D; a haul of drugs, court heard, with a street value of more than $15,000. Police also found cash totalling nearly $22,000 in Canadian and U.S. currency. Under a pillow in the master bedroom, officers found a loaded .45-calibre handgun. Corresponding ammunition was found in a bedroom safe. Court heard Lewis had also set up a processing area in the townhouseâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s basement, where Mounties found a table with scales covered in cocaine residue. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Clearly, it was a high-level operation,â&#x20AC;? Varesi said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The amount of cash suggests it was very lucrative.â&#x20AC;? Lewis, who was not home at the time of last Januaryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s raid, was arrested on March 3, 2011, but was granted bail the following day. That means he will receive no credit for time served.

TRU looks to save $2.5 million tim@kamloopsthisweek.com

An anticipated drop in provincial funding mean Thompson Rivers University is going to have to slash as much as $2.5 million from its budget over the next two years, but officials hope students won’t feel the pinch. “We appreciate the constraints the government is facing and we’re going to do everything in our power to mitigate the effects on our students,” said Christopher Seguin, TRU’s vicepresident of advancement. The shortfall is expected because of anticipated cuts to socalled block funding — money given by Victoria to B.C. universities. In 2011, TRU received $78.6 million in government funding, up slightly from $78 million in 2010. The combination of government funding and tuition revenue — $58.7 million in 2011 — accounts for more than two-thirds of TRU’s operating budget.

The numbers for the 2011-2012 fiscal year have not been made public, but Seguin said the block-funding amount has remained more or less steady since 2010. That is about to change. “We’re forecasting a reduction in our block grant and our domestic fees are capped at a two per cent increase,” he said. “We’re also going into bargaining very soon with all our unions.” All those circumstances combined mean TRU has some belttightening to do — to the tune of somewhere between $2 million and $2.5 million, according to the university’s projections. “The two solutions for a reduction in budget are cost-savings and additional revenue,” Seguin said. Seguin said domestic tuition will rise by the maximum two per cent, which is only expected to bring in an additional $400,000. International tuition

could also rise by about 10 per cent over a number of years and generate as much as $3.3 million in new revenue, but Seguin said those numbers won’t be realized until at least the fall of 2013. Proposed increased parking fees for faculty, staff and students are also expected to add $700,000 to TRU coffers by the 2013-2014 school year. On the cost-savings side, the university plans to look at its computer leasing and cloud solutions, as well as travel consolidation, to save as much as $100,000 per year. In 2011, TRU spent $4.6 million on travel and $1.7 million on computer supplies and licences. Seguin said each university department will also be asked to look for potential cuts, including reviewing vacant positions, phased retirements and overtime. “We face internal costs that include progression through the scales and promotion through the ranks for

Three-dog blight? Pet owners get amnesty By Andrea Klassen STAFF REPORTER

andrea@kamloopsthisweek.com

Kamloops pet owners who have been keeping more than their share of dogs have until the end of the year to apply to keep their third pet without paying a hefty fee. The fee amnesty won’t apply to pet owners who are busted because of neighbourhood complaints,

but will give pet owners who are flagged when they buy three dog licenses from the city some relief, said Mayor Peter Milobar. This year, the city started charging $350 for variance applications to keep more than two dogs per residence, the maximum allowed under Kamloops bylaws. Milobar said the fee allows the city to notify

neighbours of the variance request and find out if there are any concerns or complaints of which council is unaware. “What’s happening in the neighbourhoods really won’t change,” Milobar said. “The only thing is the person who’s being flagged because they’re trying to do the right thing and have three licences won’t be charged for this year only,”

he said. A dozen such cases have come to the city this year and Milobar said more than one-quarter of the people involved have asked for financial assistance to cover the fees. Two councillors worried the grace period would encourage more residents to add an extra dog to their households. “I think we’ll encour-

age people that see a cute puppy to pick it up and take it home with the two or three dogs they’ve already got,” said Pat Wallace. “Lots of people are terribly sorry we allow two dogs — and you have to live by a barking dog to appreciate that.” Nancy Bepple believes waiving the fee for 2012 could force council to do the same in 2013.

“If we do it this year, we’ll be doing it next year for somebody and the year after, and we might as well just have a three-dog policy,” she said. A vote on the issue passed 7 to 2, with Wallace and Bepple opposed. Residents with three dogs will still have to pay $17 per dog this year, and $25 per dog next year for licences.

Local union president says teachers have been told to focus on classroom job By Tim Petruk STAFF REPORTER tim@kamloopsthisweek.com

It’s not an order to stop performing volunteer extracurricular duties — it’s an order to focus solely on the classroom. That’s the word from the head of the KamloopsThompson Teachers’ Association in the wake of B.C. Teachers’ Federation members voting to refrain from doing

any work over and above their classroom duties. “We’re not telling people what they can and can’t do,” Jason Karpuk told KTW. “We’re instructing people to do their job — and that’s in the classroom.” Of the 41,000 teachers eligible to vote last week on the question of adopting the BCTF’s Bill 22 action plan, 21,625 voted in favour of protest action that includes full withdrawal from extracurricular activities, work on defeating the B.C. Liberal government in the 2013 election campaign and the pos-

sibility of a full strike, pending another vote in the future. Another 7,846 voted against the plan, while about 12,000 did not vote The action plan bans union members from all extracurricular volunteering. It is mandatory for all members and those who defy it could face disciplinary action. Karpuk refused to elaborate on what that discipline might entail. “It’s nothing I would be able to discuss in the media,” he said. X See TEACHER DISCIPLINE A16

In Harper’s government, bad behaviour is more than tolerated

ELENA GUERGIS must be one angry woman. After all, she’s one of the few cabinet ministers to actually misbehave and get fired for her actions by the prime minister. Yes, all you Conservatives out there, I know she technically resigned from cabinet and then was turfed from the party — but do you really think Stephen Harper didn’t hold the pen as she wrote her resignation letter? Maybe, instead of letting her ex-MP hubby use her parliamentary office to do private business, she should have just gone to lunch with Bev Oda. Maybe take a limo to the restaurant. Or a helicopter. Pick the fanciest one in town. Heck, go big and order the most expensive items on the menu. She’d likely still be in cabinet. Instead, Guergis is in court, suing Harper, two other Conservative MPs, the Conservative Party of Canada and a bunch of other folks for defamation, amongst other claims. Harper seems to have some weird ideas about when to bring down the hammer and when to leave it at home. Defence Minister Peter MacKay used a helicopter to fly out from his Newfoundland fishing vacation to get to the airport in 25 minutes, rather than the two-hour drive it would have taken to accomplish the same thing a whole lot cheaper. But, he had work to do. He had to get to London, Ont., to share the stage with fellow cabinet minister Rona Ambrose as they smiled for a photo-op while announcing a

DALE BASS Street

LEVEL grant to a company there. He took another government plane back to the Atlantic after smiling for the cameras, just in time to make it to the Pictou Lobster Carnival. He’s not been alone in bad behaviour by cabinet ministers. Christian Paradis was actually found guilty of conflict of interest for helping — ironically — Guergis’s husband meet with bureaucrats. Tony Clement used the 2010 G20 Summit fund to pour tens of millions of dollars into his own riding. Vic Toews opened his mouth and more foolishness came out, this time likening people who were against legislation giving police pretty much unfettered access to all of our Internet records as being in favour of child pornographers. Joe Oliver called the B.C. people against the proposed Enbridge Northern Gateway oilsands pipeline a radical group trying to stop the government from diversifying national trade. Oliver must get his crib notes from Toews. Then there’s Oda, who has been found to have misled a Commons committee by having a memo altered

— after first saying she hadn’t done it and later confessing — and who has a predilection for riding in limos. The Grange St. Paul’s Hotel in London, England, wasn’t good enough for Oda, even though it was the location of the event we taxpayers paid to fly her over to so she could attend. She chose to limo herself over to the Savoy Hotel, rated consistently as one of the best in the world — and, for more than $600 Canadian a night at a best-available rate, it should be. Maybe she didn’t like the restaurants there; after all, at one, The Globe, the average amount spent per person, according to a British restaurant review site, is just $4 CDN — so you can be sure the orange juice there doesn’t cost $16 a glass, as it does over at the Savoy. She’s sorry, though. Oda didn’t realize when she was doing it that, as she said in her apology to the House of Commons, “the expenses are unacceptable [and] should never have been charged to taxpayers.” She’s paid back some of the money she spent, which included $1,995 for the three-night stay, $2,850 for chauffeur service to the hotel she could have stayed at and just walked to the conference — and that nasty $287 for parking at the Grange before she took a look and moved on. You would think there would be some sort of discipline emerging from this litany of loutish behaviour. You would be wrong — again and again and again and again . . . editor@kamloopsthisweek.com kamloopsstreetlevel.tumblr.com

These are not good times for those teachers who dedicate their time to sports teams, drama clubs and other important extracurricular school activities. It’s worse still for the students who devote themselves to these pursuits and, in them, find true enjoyment and even scholastic benefit such as scholarships to post-secondary institutions. Thanks to the B.C. Teachers’ Federation and its members who gave their voting support last week (despite a 73 per cent approval rate among teachers voting, the real numbers show, with a significant number of teachers abstaining, about 50 per cent of all teachers in B.C. agreeing with this latest action plan), the remainder of this school year is now a washout for thousands of young athletes and a wide variety of school clubs. After last week’s vote in support of the withdrawal of all extracurricular activities by teachers, even high school graduation and prom activities are in question. Parents may be able to step up and save the latter, without the participation of teachers. We sincerely hope so, since it would be an immense travesty if some students had one of the most important events of their public education experience taken from them by a union intent on twisting the government’s will to its agenda. The BCTF refrain that “it’s about the kids” rings hollow with this latest manoeuvre, which punishes kids and teachers who made a commitment to those young people at the start of the school year. Not enough can be said about the courageous few who are willing to keep running their extracurricular activities despite the vote. Every teacher should have that choice, without pressure from union or colleagues. After all, they’re volunteering on their own time, aren’t they?

Twenty-four parents and their babies participated in the event, which was held at the Southwest Community Church on Hugh Allen Way and sponsored by the Snug - Glee Bumz Diaper Service. The event was co-ordinated to take place in 350 locations in 15 different countries around the world to promote the use of reusable cloth diapers over disposable diapers. With Earth Day being celebrated the following day, the event took on even more importance for environmental awareness. George Wycherley/KTW

Council needs to show backbone in Ajax ﬁght Editor: It is apparent that our city council (with one or two exceptions) is in over its head regarding the proposed Ajax copper and gold mine south of Aberdeen. Would the councilors expect to qualify for a mortgage with just a promise to pay back the loan? And, yet, they are willing to accept the promises and assurances of one of the worst-polluting companies in Europe that no harm will come to us from its mine. Why is KGHM unwilling to provide us with a scaled model of their proposal? Why is KGHM trying to avoid a thirdparty enquiry into the effects of the operation? Do we really believe those so-called 400 jobs will be filled only with workers from Kamloops? Now the company has information on

BERT GATIEN 250-319-0227 1.888.374-3022 bgatien@telus.net

its website that talks about extending the mine to cover even more territory right up to the banks of the Thompson River. The only way we can have any protection from adverse results is legally and with full knowledge of the facts. Even then, KGHM could just withdraw quietly to Poland, leaving us with a mess impossible to clean up. Most members of our council are seemingly cowed by having to deal with big-city businessmen. They are proving themselves to be gullible, small-town innocents, easily taken in by the company propaganda and unwilling to commit themselves to anything that might hurt their chances of re-election. If our city councillors do not feel qualified to deal with the situation, they should hire unbiased knowledgeable profession-

als who can. We can’t expect any support from our provincial or federal representatives, either. They do what they are told to do by their leaders in order to to protect their generous pensions. It’s time they all started to do the jobs they were elected to do and maybe even show some backbone. If we do not insist on knowing the facts and simply accept the views of company reps, we can forget about hope for the future. We will become just another company town, used and discarded when the company is done with us. And, KGHM will be laughing all the way to the bank. D. J. Challenger Kamloops

Back alleys don’t recycle unwanted electronics Environmental

Consumers and businesses in British Columbia have an environmentally sound recycling option.You can drop off a range of acceptable products at designated Collection Sites throughout the province without charge (see “Acceptable Products” list for details). The Electronics Products Recycling Association (EPRA) is a national, not-for-profit extended producer responsibility program. EPRA has contracted Encorp Pacific (Canada) to deliver the stewardship program under the Return-It™ Electronics brand in BC. The program works to recover and recycle all regulated electronics in a responsible, cost effective manner. The Return-It system also ensures BC’s unwanted electronics are collected and recycled in an environmentally and socially responsible manner by using the Recycler Qualification Program (RQP). Since 2007, the EPRA program, previously run by ESABC, has diverted over 70.6 million kilograms of electronics out of BC landfills and illegal export, while recovering precious metals and other materials for use in future products. How Electronics are Recycled: Electronics collected in BC are sent to approved recyclers in North America. The items are broken down using various manual and mechanical processes. The remaining products are separated into their individual components for recovery. Through a variety of refining and smelting processes, the

Citizens’ arrest: ‘It can go right or wrong’ By Tim Petruk STAFF REPORTER

tim@kamloopsthisweek.com

Kamloops Mounties are praising and warning the public after residents of a North Shore neighbourhood made an arrest of their own over the weekend. Police were called to the 600-block of Alberni Avenue at about 7:30 p.m. on Sunday, April 22, for a report of a suspicious male. Kamloops RCMP Const. Bernie Ward said a resident in the area called police after hear-

ing a car alarm go off and spotting a man fleeing the scene. “The caller confronted the male at that point,” Ward said. “The culprit tried to flee on foot, but was stopped by another

person and held for police.” Ward said a subsequent search of the 28-year-old suspect turned up items believed to have been stolen from a number of vehicles in the area.

“These types of offences, the police need the public to help,” he said. “It’s important. If you see something criminal or suspicious, give us a call.” But, Ward said, peo-

ple need to keep their own personal safety top of mind. “It can go very right or it can go very wrong,” he said. “Think carefully about what you’re doing. You can really

get yourself in over your head.” In Sunday’s incident, the residents who held the suspect for police were unharmed. But, Ward said, the suspected thief assaulted a police officer after

the arrest. The suspect was released from custody on a promise to appear in court in June. Ward said police are recommending charges of theft and assaulting a police officer.

A high risk to re-offend X From A1

According to the decision, the rape — which caused “psychological damage” to the 19-yearold victim — occurred while Froese was already on strict court-ordered conditions. “Notably, you were subject to a probation order at the time as a result of a sexual assault you had been convicted of in 2003,” it reads. Saskatoon police only connected Froese to the 2004 incident after he was arrested on the campus of the University of Saskatchewan with restraint devices, condoms and a list containing the names of school cheerleaders. Two days after moving to Kamloops, Froese was arrested and charged with breaching his release condition after being caught smoking marijuana. He was later convicted. He received a 46-day jail sentence and was fined $50. “You have been assessed as presenting a high-risk for violent and sexual recidivism,” the parole document states. “That level of risk did not decrease appreciably as a result of program completion while incarcerated [at the time the decision was written].” It is unknown whether Froese completed additional programming while last in prison.

Dine out for Life and help ASK help others By Dale Bass STAFF REPORTER dale@kamloopsthisweek.com

When staff from the AIDS Society of Kamloops (ASK) visited Swaziland last year, they realized something quickly. It was not a good idea to wear different clothes every day as they went about working with families living with HIV, planting gardens, showing the people how to compost and building a two-room school. “These are people who have nothing, who have very little and they can’t comprehend being rich enough to wear different clothes every day,

said ASK communityhealth educator Kira Gosselin. “So, we wore the same thing every day. “And, we packed lunches, but ended up giving them away. There were more mouths to feed than there were lunches.” The experience was life-altering for the Kamloopsians who made the journey, Gosselin said, and the agency is now fundraising for a similar trip to Udaipur, India, from Nov. 15 to Dec. 3. This time, they’ll be working with untouchables, the lowest of the low in that country’s caste system, people who aren’t

allowed to even drink from the same wells as others. “These are people where the rest of India won’t even engage with them,” Gosselin said. Partnering with Kamloops agency Developing World Connections, which has already been working in the country, they will be building an irrigation system in one community to bring water

One fundraiser is planned for tonight (Thursday, April 26), with several restaurants in the city donating 25 per cent of their proceeds to the agency.

Valley First wants you to aid in feeding valley As part of its 65th anniversary celebration, Valley First Credit Union is challenging members and employees to donate 6,500 pounds of food to Feed the Valley by the end of 2012. The Valley First branch that gathers the largest weight contribution will donate $6,500 to its local food bank. Donations can be made at any Valley First branch or insurance location. The credit union’s branch in Kamloops is at Second Avenue and Seymour Street. During 2011, Valley First and its employees donated more than $320,000 to various charities, events and community organizations and volunteered more than 1,000 hours of their own time. Additionally, the credit union raised more than $100,000 for food banks through its Feed the Valley program.

There will be some gardening projects and likely other outreach, as well. “Really, what we will do is ask them what they want us to do and then we’ll see if we can do it,” Gosselin said.

Teacher discipline not public

“It would be handled internally,” Karpuk said, “and those discussions wouldn’t be made public.” BCTF president Susan Lambert said the action plan sends a powerful message to government that it must rethink Bill 22, which she said virtually wipes out class-size and composition limits and will lead to a $100-million funding shortfall for public education in B.C. next school year. Lambert said the decision to withdraw from extra-curricular activities was “wrenching. “Teachers struggle with this because these activities bring so much joy to our engagement with students,” she said. “We know this will mean the loss of some highly-valued activities, and we sincerely regret that. But, we have to look at the bigger picture and the longer term.” Education Minister George Abbott said the BCTF vote to ban extracurricular activities will divide teachers, punish students and leave parents overseeing functions like grad ceremonies. “It’s their personal decision,” Abbott said. “And I don’t believe it’s appropriate for the BCTF to be trying to interfere in that.” B.C. School Sports, the provincial governing body for extracurricular sports, said last week it intends to continue with the spring sports season, with many teams relying on community volunteers to stay operating. “BCSS views extracurricular activities, including coaching, as voluntary and will respect the decisions that individual teacher coaches will make on their personal involvement with school sports,” the BCSS board of directors stated. “As long as there are volunteers willing to support student athletes and facilitate the leagues, zones and provincials, our athletic programs will continue.”

Charges in armed robbery

IN SATELLITE BROADBAND TECHNOLOGY

Juniper Ridge store was held up April 18 Charges have been laid against a Kamloops man in connection with an armed robbery in Juniper Ridge last week. Derek Robert Beno WiebeRosch is facing one count each of robbery and mischief under $5,000. The 22-year-old was arrested moments after an incident on April 18 at the Juniper Market on Highland Drive.

Mounties were called to the store at about 10:40 a.m. after a man walked in brandishing a large piece of glass, police said at the time. The man demanded cash and knocked over a number of items in the store before fleeing on foot. He was located by police on a trail just off Highland Drive a short time later, having caused superficial injuries to himself.

LOCAL NEWS THANKS FOR ALL YOU DO Mayor Peter Milobar serves cake to volunteers Janet Eckland (left) and Natashaw Van Bryce during the Volunteer Appreciation Luncheon, held recently outside the Interior Savings Centre. The barbecue was open to anyone who has volunteered with any organization in the city and was held in conjunction with National Volunteer Week. Thousands of Kamloopsians put in tens-of-thousands hours helping with everything from sports and cultural events to charity functions to helping at their neighbourhood schools. Dave Eagles/KTW

BC CONSUMER ALERT: Consumer Protection BC has ordered THE CASH STORE and INSTALOANS to REFUND unlawful debit card issuance fees charged with payday loans since November 2009.

Do you have one of their cards?

Walk for peace in May Common good is the theme for the 38th annual Walk for Peace, the Environment and Social Justice. That focus was chosen to reflect the belief everyone has a collective responsibility for their community, said John Hall of the Kamloops and District Labour Council, a cosponsor of the Saturday, May 5, event. The walk begins with speeches and entertainment at 10:30 a.m. at Stuart Wood elementary and, at noon, participants will head

COMMUNITY out to walk through the downtown. “Our society is facing many challenges — poverty, resource depletion and climate change — so we need to think about long-term sustainability,” Hall said in a press release announcing the event. The Kamloops chapter of the Council of Canadians is also sponsoring the walk.

Support pipeband Magician John Kaplan performs on Friday, April 27, at Calvary Community Church, 1205 Rogers Way in a fundraiser to benefit the Kamloops Pipeband Society. Kaplan uses his family-oriented show, Abracadazzle, as a fundraising vehicle for community groups, providing step-by-step assistance to the groups to market the shows. The show starts at 7 p.m.

TOMATOES On The Vine

GET A GRIP Playing golf is all about the swing. If you have the right swing, you will develop an excellent golf game. If your swing lacks strength and purpose, your golf game will suffer. Unfortunately, this is an inescapable fact of playing golf. Learning how to swing your golf club is not just an extremely important factor in improving your golf game, it is also the hardest factor. The great majority of new golfers find they cannot just pick up a golf club and start swinging like a pro. For most new golfers, the golf club is going to feel a bit awkward at first and developing the proper swing

is going to take some time. Your hands need to work as one when you are gripping your golf club. You will be playing at your best when your hands are working together to bring about an accurate and smooth swing. There are a number of ways to grip a golf club, but you should always remember to keep your hands working together as one and you will find yourself developing a muchimproved golf game. Have you considered the type of grip you are working with and how much grip you are applying in your golf game? It’s a common mistake to hold your golf

club too tight as this diminishes the power that you should be developing in your golf game. A lighter grip will give you much more flexibility and accuracy without sacrificing power. That’s not to say that your grip should be so loose that you will let the club fly out of your hands following a determined drive, but you need to have some flexibility in your wrists during the swing. Your wrists are a fantastic source of power in your swing and this can be put to good use by any golfer. Having a lighter grip will improve your golf game in other ways as well. For example, you

will have more club face rotation, which gives you a much better chance of squaring the club. This is an essential aspect of a good golf game, so bear this in mind the next time you are taking a shot. A mid-range grip is good as this will give you the best immediate results if you are searching for a way to quickly improve your golf game. This strategy also gives you the most versatility and a high degree of flexibility. Learning to change your grip is a simple and easy technique that will allow you to play a better golf game without having to spend more money trying to find a quick fix in new clubs or other golf accessories.

HE 2012 4-H season is well underway for the Yale County 4-H Club. The Yale County Beef and Sheep Club has been operating for 15 years. The 21-member club kicked off its year with its annual speech and demonstration competition on Feb. 12. This yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s speeches were both entertaining and insightful, with seven senior members and seven junior members competing at the club level. In the senior speech category, top honours went to Meghan McGillivray for her endearing speech about an orphan calf named Lusa. In the junior category, top honour went to Emira Dempsey for her humorous take on the pros and cons of being a â&#x20AC;&#x153;hockey sister.â&#x20AC;? Both girls went on to compete at the district level, with

EMIRA DEMPSEY 4-H

HAPPENINGS Meghan winning the senior event and Emira placing third in the junior event. Meghan will move on now to compete at the regional level for 4-H speeches. On the demonstration side of the competition, two senior teams competed, with the team of Meghan McGillivray and Larissa James taking top honours for their informative demo on how to pack for a trip. The junior team of Matthew McGillivray and Dayton Gray won for their fantastic demo on how to iron a shirt.

Both teams will now move on to the district demonstration competition, which will be held in Barriere on May 11. Next on the agenda for the Yale County 4-H Club is a district field day on Sunday, April 29, at Southland Ranch, owned by Doug and Lori Haughton. This year, a senior member of the club, Montana Mills, has taken on the task of planning a judging field day for all 4-H clubs in the district. This job is Montanaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s junior leader project and is not a small task to complete. With the help of her organizing committee, Montana must plan project classes for members to judge, organize the scorecards and judges, secure a venue for the event, plan a concession and lunch for members, assign volunteer duties and make sure everything runs smoothly.

All this while keeping a record of her progress and being marked on all her planning and the actual event itself. The public is more than welcome to come out and watch and learn a little about 4-H. Good Luck, Montana! The Yale County Club has many fun events planned for the rest of the season, including rally, junior camp, Achievement Day, the Barriere Fall Fair and, of course, the biggest event being the Provincial Winter Fair in Barriere from Sept. 12 to Sept. 24. The Provincial Winter Fair is the accumulation of a season of learning and hard work for all 4-H members and usually ends on sale day with a few tears and a feeling of great accomplishment.

GALICS It is with great sadness that we announce the sudden passing of Ruth Margery Galics on Friday, April 20, 2012. Ruth is survived by George, her loving husband of 46 years, as well as her children, Jim Babcock, Loretta Buckingham, Linda Faust, Margaret Dennison, Barbara Fedora, and Michael Galics. She is also survived by brothers, Bill Sworts, and Herb Sworts, and sister, Louise Rozeck, fourteen grandchildren and eight great grandchildren, numerous nieces, nephews, godchildren and extended family. She was predeceased by ﬁrst husband Ed Babcock, daughter Sylvia Martin, parents Amy and Bill Sworts.

He was born in Sardinia, Italy on July 7, 1929. He married his wife Rosanna in 1968 and he brought her to Canada that year where they raised their family.

Ruth worked 43 years as a nurse in Kamloops at Royal Inland Hospital, Tranquille and numerous group homes. Mom was active with Our Lady of Perpetual Help Parish and she was a member of the Catholic Women’s League for 56 years.

A long time employee of BC Tel (Telus), retiring in 1994 after 25 years of service. Antonio was a loving husband, father and grandfather. Gardening, his neighbours and his handyman activities were some of his favourite pastimes.

It gave mom great joy to spend time with her Sisters in the League at Conventions and meetings throughout the Kamloops Diocese.

Prayers will be recited on Thursday, April 26, 2012 at 7:30 p.m. in Sacred Heart Cathedral. Funeral Mass will be celebrated on Friday, April 27, 2012 at 11:00 a.m. in the Cathedral.

Condolences may be expressed at www.schoenings.com Arrangements entrusted to Schoening Funeral Service, 250.374.1454.

IRWIN BERNARD JOHNSON 1920-2012 We are left with so many good memories and an empty heart over the passing of a husband, father, grandfather, and great-grandfather on April 22, 2012 at Ridgeview Lodge in his 92nd year . Irwin is survived by Marie, his wife of 67 years; daughters Karen (Bob Ritchie) and Judy (Larry Barton); granddaughters Shawna Gardham and Cheri (Rod Campbell), great-grandchildren Kenza and Malcolm Campbell; and niece Karen Old. He spent many years with the BC Forest Service from Forest Ranger to Forest Protection Officer. Later he worked in the forest industry and with R.F. Welch BC Ltd. After retiring, Irwin and Marie spent many winters going south in their RV. Dad was no stranger to adversity and never shied away from a challenge - medical or physical. Our “MacGyver” would always find a way! He was a master of crossword puzzles and jigsaw puzzles and often had many on the go at one time. Always a gentleman – patience, determination and strength are admirable qualities which have been instilled in each of us. The family is immeasurably grateful for all the professional compassionate care extended to Dad at his “homes” away from home over the last 7 years. Additionally, we cannot say enough about Dr. Sze, Dr. Du Preez, the Royal Inland Hospital staff, Ponderosa staff, and his “girls” and the staff at Ridgeview Lodge who helped facilitate his valued independence. Their expertise and friendships help us remember a very sad time with fondness. His all-time favourite, “Dr. Marie” was always by his side and never missed a beat researching all his meds and always on top of the situation as presented. In keeping with his long-standing wish, there will be no service. Should friends desire, donations to the Royal Inland Hospital Foundation or charity of your choice would be appreciated. And remember “Eat your dessert first”

MARIETTE BRENHOLEN

She will be missed deeply by all who knew her! Prayers will be recited at Our Lady of Perpetual Help Church on Friday April 27, at 7:00 p.m. Funeral Mass will be celebrated on Saturday April 28 at 11:00 a.m. Interment and a reception to follow. Friends wishing to honour her memory may do so by donation to the Canadian Diabetes Association, 1589 Sutherland Avenue, Kelowna, BC V1Y 5V7.

The Angel On Your Shoulder By Jackie Huston Lena, Wisconsin

There’s an angel on your shoulder Though you may not know she’s there, She watches over you day and night And keeps you in her care. There’s an angel on your shoulder Watching you learn and grow Keeping you safe from danger And nurturing your soul. She’ll be there through your triumphs She’ll dance on clouds with pride, She’ll hold your hand through disappointments and fears, Standing faithfully by your side. In her lifetime this angel was strong and true, And stood up for what was right. In your life you’ll be faced with decisions and trials And she’ll shine down her guiding light. Life holds so much in store for you, So remember as you grow older, There are no heights you cannot reach ‘Cause there’s an angel on your shoulder. Bereavement Publishing Inc. 5125 N.

The Kamloops Broncos have a plan in place — and it might just be central to the rejuvenation of football in Kamloops. KTW file photo

By Marty Hastings STAFF REPORTER

sports@kamloopsthisweek.com

HERE IS something very cyclical about what needs to happen for the Kamloops Broncos to be financially successful. Sponsors will find it easier to consider the Broncos a worthy investment when the team wins more football games. In order to win more games, the British Columbia Football Conference (BCFC) squad must have a good team. If they are going

to have a consistently good team, the Broncos need to develop local talent. Local talent will often first blossom in Kamloops Community Football (KCF), an organization created under the Broncos’ umbrella. The players who make their way through the minorfootball ranks will likely join Kamloops’ high-school teams. After high school, the Broncos will look to recruit the best of the bunch. Team president Dino Bernardo sat down with KTW to talk

about the path to success.

The ﬁnances The Broncos are not ready to go the way of the dodo — or the Kamloops Cowboys — just yet. “We’re not in trouble, but we’re not in a financially stable position where we feel we’re comfortable,” Bernardo said. “The last two years, we’ve had to have a line of credit, but we’re nowhere near where the Cowboys were when they folded,” he said in reference to the team that was a BCFC member from 2000 to

2003 before leaving the field under a gang tackle of debt. In 2007 and 2008, years one and two of junior football’s return to Kamloops, the Broncos were an economically viable franchise. “We were getting gaming grants and we were getting a ton of sponsors,” Bernardo said. “In Year 3, I think we took a step back. “We used to have five $5,000 sponsors. Now, we’re down to two [The Commodore Grand Café and Lounge, which Bernardo co-owns, and

entity and is run by a board of directors, of which Arthurs is the president. Registration for the 2012 season will be held on May 5 and May 6 from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. at the Tournament Capital Centre. The KCF welcomes players between the ages of eight and 15. For the children ages eight to 13, the cost to play is $240. The price for 14- and 15-year-olds is $275. The season runs from early August to the second week in November. If a team makes the playoffs, its season is extended into the first week of December. The eight- and nineyear-old age group practises twice a week and plays on Sunday. All other age groups practise three times a week and play on Sunday. Practices are held on either Tuesday, Wednesday or Thursday and usually run from 5:30 p.m. to 7 p.m. Every team in KCF plays under the Broncos’ name, unless there are enough players for two teams in one age group, in which case the second team is called the Wildcats. “Our ultimate goal is to have kids play for five years before they hit high school,” Warner said.

radio station CIFM]. “That’s a loss of $15,000 we just don’t have anymore. Also, we used to get provincial gaming grants. Well, the last two years, we’ve got nothing.” Bernardo applied for a provincial grant this year, but won’t know how much the team will receive until August. The Kamloops Blazers Sports Society (KBSS) Sports Legacy Fund is a big reason why the Broncos have been able to survive the gaming-grant cuts and sponsorship losses. X See LEGACY A31

Kamloops Community Football’s (KCF) board of directors would love the growing trend to continue. “Our first year, we had three teams with more than 70 kids,” said Leesa Warner, a secretary and registrar with KCF. “Last year, five teams and 142 families registered.” KCF started in 2008 under the Kamloops Broncos Junior Football Club umbrella. “Dave Arthurs joined [the Broncos’ board] and basically started [KCF] with Stefen Reid and Brad Yamaoka,” Warner said. Minor football in Kamloops was going strong until the late 1980s. By the time the 1990s arrived, it had disappeared completely. Reid, a Grey Cup champion with the Montreal Alouettes in 2002, is a Kamloops minor-football product. “When I was playing in the CFL, at one time there were six guys that were playing in the CFL that were from Kamloops,” Reid said. “All six of us grew up playing football in Kamloops in the years of minor football.” KCF is now its own

Legacy Fund a Bronco saviour X From A29

Bernardo said the Broncos have received about $50,000 from the Legacy Fund during the past four years. “If we didn’t have the Blazers’ sports foundation, this program probably would have folded at the beginning of last year.” The money from the KBSS has gone toward establishing a community football program in Kamloops, refurbishing the Broncos’ locker room and buying new helmets and jerseys. When it comes to overall budget, Kamloops is on the lower end of the BCFC totem pole. The Vancouver Island Raiders of Nanaimo are right at the top, along with the Okanagan Sun of Kelowna. “Nanaimo has three times our budget,” Bernardo said. “Nanaimo’s money came from one guy, [Atlas Group owner] Hadi Abassi, but I don’t think he’s funding it to where he was in the first few years. “Once you start winning some national championships, business wants to jump on board and help the program.” The Raiders have won three Canadian Junior Football League championships since moving to Nanaimo from Victoria in 2005. Abassi’s money enabled the team to recruit high-end players from the get-go and pay a full-time coaching staff. Kamloops head coach Duncan Olthuis

is the only Bronco who gets paid. He receives an honorarium that covers expenses like travel and phone-bill costs that result from recruiting. The Sun, founded in 1980, have established their reputation over time and Kelowna has become an attractive place for elite highschool prospects to play. Both the Raiders and the Sun have access to considerably more scholarship money than the Broncos. “Nanaimo’s and Kelowna’s scholarship budgets are in the $30,000 range,” Bernardo said. In 2011, the Broncos received a $2,000 donation from Morfco Supply, which was split three ways to recruit high-school prospects. That $2,000 was the entire scholarship budget.

Starting them young The Kamloops High Red Devils were a perennial provincial powerhouse, partly because of a oncehealthy minor-football program in the River City. In the late 1980s and early 1990s, minor football in the Tournament Capital all but disappeared. In 2008, it returned when Kamloops Community Football (KCF) was established. (Read story on Page A29 for more information on KCF). Its existence now is of paramount importance, considering the state of local highschool football.

“When they changed the school district to make those three junior highs into senior highs, it just spread the wealth of the talent,” Bernardo said. Multiple local high-school football programs — junior and senior teams included — were forced to fold last season due to a lack of players and coaches. The braintrust behind both the Broncos and KCF wants kids to pick up the pigskin at a young age. As a result, highschool programs should see an increase in numbers and return to prominence. High-end local players could then be scooped up by the Broncos after high school and nourished on their way to the university, college or professional ranks. “We’re just going to start seeing all of these kids who have played two or three years of minor going into Grade 9,” Bernardo said. If everything proceeds as planned, Kamloops might be able to field a team filled with homegrown talent within the decade — one the business community can get behind.

Kamloops kids can have a bridge between high school and Canadian Interuniversity Sports (CIS). That’s what I gauge my success on.” Kamloops has already sent eight players to the CIS ranks. Along with being a stepping stone, the Broncos have become a cash cow for Thompson Rivers University. “We really try and sell the university. It’s a phenomenal facility and it offers great programs.” Bernardo said the Broncos are also good for the city in general, as some graduating players decide to call Kamloops home. Surviving these lean years might be considered a success story in itself. The Broncos’ president thanked the fans who frequent Hillside Stadium on game nights for their support. “When you talk to the presidents of the other teams, they’re shocked at our fan support,” Bernardo said. “Outside of Kelowna, I think we have the best fan base in the entire league.” The Broncos average about 600 spectators per home game, despite not having made the playoffs in franchise history. “Once we start winning games, we’re going to sell out that stadium,” Bernardo said. “Kamloops likes to support a winner.” So does its business community, which Bernardo would like to see on board sooner than later.

Deﬁning success The Broncos’ ultimate goal is not to win a national championship. “Of course, we want to make playoffs, and we want to win, and we want to do well,” Bernardo said. “But, we didn’t start this to win national championships. “Our goal is that

“We’ve made a lot of mistakes that have held us back, but we’re on the right track now,” Bernardo said. “Football in Kamloops is a phenomenal thing and there’s been a lot of different things that contributed to its downfall. “We’re hoping the Broncos can help rebuild it back to what it was.”

contribute in the community. In the past, team members have taken part in activities such as serving lunch at the New Life Mission, Community Cleanup Day and the AIDS Walk for Life. X Kamloops’ junior football players are often in need of summer employment. Call Bernardo to hire a Bronco. X At least three members of the 2011 Broncos will play football at the college or

university level next season. Linebacker Mitch Day will play at Concordia University in Montreal. Offensive lineman Matt Davidson will play at Acadia University in Nova Scotia. Offensive lineman Aaron Osczevski will play at Alberta. X The B.C. Football Conference is entering its 65th season of play.

SALUTE TO THE BLAZERS!

A season to celebrate; a season to build on . . . The 2011-2012 regular season brought the Kamloops Blazers back among the elite of the Western Hockey League: •The Blazers had their best regular-season record since 19981999, winning the B.C. Division title, finishing second in the Western Conference and settling in at fourth in the WHL with a mark of 47-20-23, good for 99 points. • The Blazers had the biggest turnaround in the WHL this season, with 35 more points and 18 more wins than all of last season. • Kamloops finished the year with a league-best 22-9-2-3 road record. The 22 road wins were the most for the franchise since the 19951996 season. • The Blazers scored 290 goals — third-most in the WHL and the most tallies by a Kamloops squad since the 1998-1999 campaign. • Kamloops allowed 211 goals this season, the fifth-stingiest mark in the league. • Rookie goaltender Cole Cheveldave recorded 34 wins, the most by a Blazers’ rookie and goal-

tender since the 1998-1999 season, when Kenric Exner won 34 games. • Rookie forward Tim Bozon finished tops among rookies with 36 goals and was second in the WHL with 71 points this season. Bozon recorded the most goals and points for a Blazer rookie since Scottie Upshall recorded 42 goals and 87 points in the 2000-2001 season. • Eight players reached the 50-plus point plateau this season. The last time a Kamloops team counted eight 50-plus point players was during the 1994-1995 season, when the Blazers had eight players with at least 67 points. • Six players reached 20-plus goals this season, which was the first time that has happened since the 2000-2001 season. • The Blazers were ranked eighth in Canada in the final BMO Mastercard Canadian Hockey League Top 10 regular-season rankings. The club was ranked as high as second nationally and was included in the Top 10 for 16 of the 25 weeks.

SUPER FAN FOR LIFE: His favourite colours must be blue and orange because nine-year-old Josh Eaket loves the Kamloops Blazers. Josh is the lucky winner of the KTW/Kamloops Blazers contest that saw him take home a replica jersey and a hockey stick autographed by members of this season’s squad. Josh was among the kids reading Kamloops This Week who won tickets to Blazer playoff games this season by telling us why they love the team. Josh’s entry: “Wow! What a season. The Blazers did awesome this year! The player that did outstanding this season was Colin Smith. I love hockey. It’s my favourite sport . . . My favourite player on the team is Brendan Ranford. Kamloops Blazers vs. Victoria Royals playoff games were amazing. The stats were 4-0-0. I guess you could call me a ‘super fan’. The Blazers are a great team!”

THIS WEEK

From the street, with a beat Kyprios is about social issues and life, not big cars, bling and guns By Dale Bass STAFF REPORTER

dale@kamloopsthisweek.com

When Matt Coles discovered the musical underground in Vancouver, he likely had no idea how it would impact his little brother David. It wasn’t unusual that Matt was into music; the entire Coles family — all six boys included — were pretty musical. But Matt was the one who was drawn to underground and grunge and, when he would come back home with his music, David, himself well into writing poetry, was inspired — and hip-hop artist Kyprios was born. He’ll be performing at the Kamloops Convention Centre on Saturday, June 2. Doors open at 7 p.m. and the show starts at 8 p.m. For those expecting the stereotypical hip-hop music that tends to include lyrics about getting killed or assaulting women, they won’t find it with Coles. First, musically, he’s much different than most, travelling with a band that includes a sax player, guitarist, bassist and drummer. Three — including Coles — also do vocals. The music isn’t the four-bar-loop or sampling many hip-hoppers follow but is actual music with verses and choruses. He’s as likely to do a James Brown or Lauryn Hill cover as he is to do some of his own music, songs that are most often social commentary inspired by his own life and the things he sees going on around him. It was his personal view that led Coles to leave Sweatshop Union, the band with which he’s been most closely associated. “They’re always touring,” he said, “and I had just gotten married. It was too much strain to not have control over my schedule. X See EARTHBOUND B4

Get your dancing shoes on Cod Gone Wild ready to throw a party By Dale Bass STAFF REPORTER

dale@kamloopsthisweek.com

Andrew Mercer made the trek from St. John’s to Kelowna to sing at the wedding of two friends. The Celtic musician had written a song for the occasion, came west, sang — “and I fell in love with the Okanagan.” One he had graduated from university and finished a contract in Newfoundland, Mercer decided it was time for a change — and his thoughts went back to the trip to B.C. “One week, I decided I was going to move and, the next week, I was here,” he said. He made Vernon his home and found like-minded musicians who shared his desire to bring the music of his culture and heritage to B.C. Thus was born Cod Gone Wild. The band has gone through some member changes in the past three years but now, with its second release out — The Traveler — it has settled into a roster that includes Mercer on guitar, mandolin, bouzouki, accordion, bodhran and vocals; Anjuli Otter on fiddle and

vocals; Chad Carter on drugs, percussion, harmonica and vocals; and Roy Kawano on bass. The group is bringing its Irish Pub Night tour to Kamloops for a show on Friday, May 11, at the Kamloops Curling Club, 700 Victoria St. Mercer said the

show is full of highenergy Celtic music, with lots of dancing. The band travels with its own lighting and staging; in fact, it handles everything internally from the graphicson its posters to booking venues. It did a pub night during a winter festival in Vernon in

February “and we had 550 people out and were voted the best adult event at the festival,” Mercer said. A longtime curler, he thought the Kamloops club might be a good venue for taking the show on the road.

His brand of Celtic isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t quite the traditional style for which the Maritimes is known. Rather, Mercer said, the band has added a modern sound â&#x20AC;&#x153;with a groovy bass and some wild fiddleâ&#x20AC;? on top of all the traditional aspects. As for the name, hereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Mercerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s explanation: â&#x20AC;&#x153;Well, the name â&#x20AC;&#x201D;as is the case with many bands â&#x20AC;&#x201D; actually came from a combination of things. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Our drummer actually played in a Celtic band in Edmonton for a while before moving to B.C. and connected

with me. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The way the music feels and the style that he plays for the Celtic rhythms he calls the â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;cod slap,â&#x20AC;&#x2122; which I thought was neat and funny and wanted to have cod in the name because, letâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s face it, what is more East Coast then cod? â&#x20AC;&#x153;So, being that I was from Newfoundland and bringing this genre of music to the West Coast is where the â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;gone wildâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; part came into the picture, that and we are a very lively bunch, dancinâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; around the stage all night. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Some would say weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re flippinâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; and floppinâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; around like a bunch of Cod Gone Wild.â&#x20AC;? Doors open at 8 p.m and the show starts at 9 p.m. Tickets are $20 and available at the club.

it was a natural fit to share the billing. Along his musical journey, Coles has been nominated for several Juno awards. It was his solo recording, 12:12, that led him to the Peak Performance project, a B.C. competition with a top prize â&#x20AC;&#x201D; which he won â&#x20AC;&#x201D; of $100,000. His resume also includes opening for groups like The Black Eyed Peas, Busta Rhymes, Wyclef Jean,

The Roots, Living Legends and Jurassic Five. Kamloopsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; own Earthbound will be opening for Coles.

Unicorn, with a side of potatoes — a play in one scene

AMES AND SOME DETAILS HAVE BEEN CHANGED TO PROTECT THE RIDICULOUS, BUT THE FOLLOWING ACT IS AN OTHERWISE TRUE STORY. • Characters: Allan, sous chef, 28; Dave, saucier, 27; Crystal, server, 23. • Time: A summer afternoon. • Place: The restaurant kitchen of a busy golf course. It’s nearly time for dinner service. There are dishes stacked on the warming shelf, soups and sauces set into hot-water baths, and a general sense of controlled chaos as everything comes together. • Scene One: What’s for dinner? (Two young chefs prepare the line for the first orders of the evening. They stock the

DARCIE HOSSACK Bon APPÉTIT refrigerated drawers with items from the prep kitchen. Allan looks at the first order as it prints, then sets a strip loin on the grill while Dave drops an order of penne into the pasta cooker.) ALLAN: So, Top Chef Canada’s on tonight. Are you off in time to watch it? DAVE: Doesn’t matter. I had to cancel my cable. ALLAN: I know what you mean. I don’t even have a TV anymore. But, I get them to tune in Food Network when I’m at the gym. (Dave clicks a pair

of tongs, thinking) DAVE: The other people don’t mind? ALLAN: I go at 10. Nobody else is there. (Crystal comes into the kitchen and stands between them, crosses her arms, looks expectantly) CRYSTAL: You haven’t told us about tonight’s special yet. We can’t sell it if we don’t know what it is. ALLAN: We went over this during preservice, Crystal. Don’t you remember? (Dave glances at Allan, rolls his eyes) CRYSTAL: Oh. Well, I guess I wasn’t listening. So, what is it? DAVE: (Dave looks conspiratorially at Allan) Are you sure you want to know? You cried last week when it was lamb. CRYSTAL: Whatever. I did not. DAVE: Fine. But don’t say we didn’t warn you. Tonight’s

feature is unicorn medalions. It’s served with classic duchesse potatoes and parsley butter, seasonal veg and braised shallots. We’re cooking it to medium, but will cook to order if they insist. CRYSTAL: (Screeching) You wouldn’t!!! You just wouldn’t! It’s not even legal! ALLAN: (With a straight face) Meat is meat. It’s hypocritical to eat cow and not unicorn.

Besides, we got a great deal from the supplier. CRYSTAL: (Sniffling) You’re both horrible. I’m not telling anyone about your stupid special. DAVE: (Draining pasta and tossing it into sauce) Can you bring guests to your gym? ALLAN: (Handing Allan a dish) Meet me at 9:30. Darcie Hossack is a food writer and author

COMMUNITY

Kamloopsians recognized for community service Harvey Fraser, Lynda MacKenzie, Acacia Schmietenknop and Ruth Williams have received the City of Kamloops Distinguished Service Award for their community service. • Harvey Fraser: Fraser was first introduced to canoeing in Muskoka Country at five years of age by a First World War veteran. He travelled to B.C. in 1950 and arrived in Kamloops in 1955. In the late 1960s, Fraser and Adolf Tuffle started Interior Canoe Outfitters and did canoe tours throughout the Interior. From 1968 to 1986, French and Ferdy Wenger designed and built canoes, including the Thompson Cruiser, a Harvey Fraser canoe. In 1966, he was appointed to the B.C. Voyageur Team that raced across Canada in the 1967 centennial. His team finished second and was recognized at Expo 67 held in Montreal.

Fraser was involved in the scouting movement through Scouts Canada, teaching canoeing skills and safety. For 15 years, Fraser taught canoeing as part of the City of Kamloops parks and recreation program. He worked as a carpenter and partner with Wilson and Dalgleish Construction helping to build landmarks like Overlanders Bridge, the Woodward’s Building, Riverside Park Rose Garden, the downtown pedestrian overpass bridge and the BC Tel building on Third Avenue. He helped to create the Dick Hart Memorial Park in Heffley Creek. The Thompson River Paddle Sports Club’s annual Kamloops Canoe Race has been re-named the Harvey Fraser Marathon Canoe Classic. • Lynda MacKenzie: MacKenzie has spent a great deal of her time volunteering her time for the betterment of Kamloops. MacKenzie was the

driving force for the first Rotary Food Drive for the Kamloops Food Bank and continues to volunteer for it. She is also a member

of the food bank board. MacKenzie also helps organize and volunteers at People In Transition meal preparation at Kamloops United

This week is all about give and take, Capricorn. Do for others, and they will do for you. A special event calls for some extra-special gifts.

Some habits are hard to break, Aquarius. Look to a mentor to help and you will succeed. A fitness goal is easily achieved with a new piece of equipment.

The odds may be stacked against you, Pisces, but that doesn’t mean you won’t come out on top with a little ingenuity. A weekend endeavor requires a leap of faith.

Cast aside all doubt, Taurus. The offer is genuine and will bring you many rewards. A test of faith begins— be strong. Money woes ease.

The tiniest of changes make a vast improvement in a project. A rejection is a blessing in disguise. Be grateful for what you’re given, Scorpio.

AND IMPLEMENT COMMON RATES On April 11, 2012, the FortisBC Energy Utilities applied to the British Columbia Utilities Commission to amalgamate their natural gas utilities across the province and to implement common rates and services across their service areas starting January 1, 2014. Currently, FortisBC Energy Utilities is made up of three separate natural gas companies, operating in six service areas. The companies have their own services, service agreements (tariffs) and rates. If approved, the application would combine the three companies into one, under a single tariff, with common rates for the various regions. This Application has different implications for customers in each service area. If approved, customers in the Vancouver Island and Whistler service areas will see rate decreases, while customers in the Lower Mainland, Columbia, Inland, and Fort Nelson service areas will see an overall rate increase. PUBLIC REVIEW PROCESS The Commission is initiating a review of FortisBC Energy Utilities’ Application. To view the timetable for this hearing and the Application go to www.bcuc.com select “Current Applications” under “Quick Links” and scroll to “FEU Common Rates, Amalgamation and Rate Design.” HOW TO GET INVOLVED If you wish to participate actively in the review process, you may register as an Intervener or an Interested Party with the Commission Secretary in writing, using the contact information at the end of this notice.

Nationally, parent company Loblaw’s goal is to raise $1.2 million and 1.2 million pounds of food in 2012. In B.C. until May 5, grocery shoppers are encouraged to purchase or bring in non-perishable food items or make a cash donation next time they visit Loblaw stores. “More and more people rely on food banks as they struggle to feed their families but, with the help of programs like the Loblaw 2012 Extra Helping Spring National Food Drive, we will be able to stock our shelves year-round and continue to serve families across B.C. that otherwise would go hungry,” said Don Armstrong, president, of Food Banks British Columbia. One hundred per cent of food donated, and 85 per cent of the cash donated, will go food banks. The remaining 15 per cent of donated cash will go to Food Banks

The May 6 Kamloops Scotiabank MS Walk will start and end at Interior Savings Centre. Walkers can choose to follow routes of one, two, five or 10 kilometres.

All routes take walkers into Riverside Park, while the five- and 10-kilometre routes continue along the South Thompson River through Pioneer Park, with a turnaround at the Kamloops Yacht Club. Two rest stops are available for the two longer routes. Back at the finish area, walkers can enjoy snacks, lunch and refreshments, music and

WHAT’S IN THE CLASSIFIEDS?

Swedish artist plays the race card — wrongly — in his creation

GWYNNE DYER World WATCH ally come. Lena Adelsohn Liljeroth rolls up to the Moderna Museet in Stockholm, accompanied by several of her ministerial entourage, and is invited to be the first to cut the cake. Not just anywhere, though: She is told to cut a slice from the cake’s “clitoris.” As she does so, Linde screams loudly. Then, laughing at the surrealism of it all, Liljeroth feeds some of the “clitoris” to the blacked-up artist. He laughs, too. You will have realized by now I am not making this up. It happened in Stockholm last week and you can see several videos of it on YouTube. It didn’t make me any happier when I found out the artist himself is black. Well, not black, actually.

Linde is mixed-race, with a Swedish mother and a West African father, and he has lived in Sweden all his life. But, the fact all the participants in the event knew he was “black” made it all right for them. Well, sort of all right: If you look closely at the crowd of white Swedes in the background of the video, they’re laughing, but it is distinctly nervous laughter. They know there’s something wrong here. Indeed there was. This event has unleashed a torrent of self-criticism in Sweden, together with a great deal of abuse from foreigners about the “racist” Swedes. The smarter Swedes suspect they have been tricked into looking worse than they are by Linde, but they’re not sure quite how he did it. So, let’s help them. Linde claims to be an “Afromantic”, whatever that means. “I’m revamping the blackface into a new historical narrative,” he explains unhelpfully – and adds he had made this cake because the Artists’ Association of Sweden had put out a call for artistic cakes to mark its 75th anni-

versary. But, what he’s really doing is distorting FGM into a racial issue, because racial issues are his artistic stock-intrade. The subtext of Linde’s little game is black Africans are the victims of female genital mutilation and that, somehow, it is the fault of white people. That’s why he appears in the sort of extreme, caricatured blackface that was used by white comedians about a century ago. Except the victims of FGM are not particularly black. The ones in Ethiopia, Kenya and Nigeria are but, the last time I looked, Egyptians were not black and 97 per cent of Egyptian women have suffered female circumcision. It is generally done by the mothers and grandmothers of helpless little girls, so the perpetrators of this atrocity are almost always of the same ethnic group as the victims. They are usually of the same religion, too. The great majority of FGM victims are Muslims, but the custom is clearly preIslamic. (It was already being

NO PROBLEM!

tural relativism can excuse it, but this is not the right context for that discussion. The question here is: Why did Linde create this ugly and deeply misleading event? The answer, alas, brings us full circle. He thought it would have shock value — and he wasn’t going to let a few facts get in the way. See above.

ET’S SUPPOSE YOU ARE AN ARTIST WHO KNOWS YOU HAVE TO SHOCK PEOPLE IF YOU REALLY WANT TO GET ON IN THE TRADE. And, not being Damien Hirst yet, you should probably justify your shock tactics by claiming they serve some good cause or other. S,o which cause will it be? Children of war? Taken. AIDs victims? Even Benetton has done that. Well, then, how about female genital mutilation (FGM)? That’s more promising: FGM offer possibilities for really shocking images, if you want to go down that road. And, our artist certainly does. To work, then. Obviously, an anatomically correct sculpture of a woman about to undergo this ordeal would be ideal, but not a tedious conventional sculpture made of metal, wood or papier mache. This is high art, conceptual art, so how about we do it as a cake? Then, we could eat her afterwards. Nice symbolism. Our aspiring artist (let’s call him Makode Linde) decides his cake-woman should be black. And, since he doesn’t want to be left out of the picture, he decides the cake-woman should have a life-size body, but no head. Instead, Makode Linde will poke his own head up through a hole in the table that the cake lies on, just where the cake-woman’s head would be. He’ll be in cartoonish blackface, of course. And, he invites the minister of culture to the event, in the confident knowledge that (this being Sweden) the poor fool will actu-

HOME & GARDEN

Affordable elegance for your backyard You don’t have to spend hundreds (or thousands) on a landscape architect to add major impact to your backyard. Look at these simple — and affordable — ways to pump up the wow factor. 1. Never underestimate the power of planters. Set them around the edge of your patio to separate the space from the yard or put them right in the garden. Fill them with tall ornamental grass for added privacy as well as visual interest. For a designer touch, pick an affordable and chic-looking artisanal planter, like an authentic terra cotta pot in celebrity potter Guy Wolff’s collection, available exclusively in Canada in select Loblaw banner stores. 2. Vines can be so helpful — especially if the view of your backyard includes a chainlink fence or the side of a shed or garage. Use colourful, fast-growing vines like Honeysuckle or Virginia Creeper. If you’re beautifying a wall, you’ll need a lattice, which you can buy in sheets at the hardware store. 3. Hanging baskets always look stunning on a porch or a veranda. Choose a bright basket and use multiples to create a look of balance, such as the new PCGigantico Suncatcher Pink Lemonade Petunia featured in the 2012 President’s Choice Lawn and Garden Insider’s Report. It’s an easy way to brighten up a deck, balcony or front porch. 4. The sound and motion of water gently falling from a fountain brings serenity to your garden — and looks fantastic. Place a water feature in the corner of your patio or right in the garden bed, as long as it’s on a sturdy base. 5. Lighting adds so much to a garden. Aim a spotlight up the base of a tree into the branches for some real drama. Strings of white lights around bushes are a special touch — and you can even place them throughout topiary forms to emphasize the shapes. 6. Accessories are affordable and make a difference. Add some instant character by setting up an antique-style bench padded with comfy cushions. Or hang a mesh hammock under some shady trees and drape it with a cozy fleece blanket.

Summertime, and the grilling is easy if you have the right barbecue for your backyard needs. According to grilling experts, we should not assume bigger is better when it comes to BTUs. British Thermal Units aren’t the only indicator of how well a grill can cook. Basically, it comes down to engineering — and how you grill. First, about the BTUs: The higher the rating, the faster the gas moves; the hotter the flame, the more the hot air comes off the flame. Because hot air is moving so fast, it wants to go up, not spread out. This means grills with higher BTUs are much hotter in locations directly above the burners and cooler away from them. So, if you want intense, localized cooking and searing, buy more BTUs. If an overall cooking surface is preferable, choose a barbecue with a lower rating. If you are in the market to upgrade this season, look for a grill that meets your cooking style. For searing, you need a grate temperature, not air temperature, between 500 and 600 F. (Searing usually occurs between 450 and 500 F). Are you an everyday griller or do you barbecue primarily on special occasions with larger groups? In either case, make sure you have a large enough cooking space to accommodate your needs and the way you cook. Some of the most popular and best-rated brands — such as Kenmore, Broil King, Char-Broil and Hamilton Beach — also come with accessories such as rotisserie kits and side burners that provide greater cooking flexibility. Natural-gas models are also available, alleviating the worry of filling tanks or running out of gas in the middle of cooking. More information on choosing the right barbecue is available online at sears.ca. newscanada.com

healthy landscapes, healthy living

Xeriscaping in Kamloops Xeriscape means “water conservation through creative landscaping”. Landscapes suited to our semi-arid climate conserve water and have an advantage over pest problems. Apply these principles to any garden style and have a healthy, high quality landscape: 1. Planning and design: Group plants according to their water use. Slope hard surfaces to drain to planted areas. Avoid steep slopes – create terraces instead. Use groundcovers on gentle slopes. 2. Good soils: Organic matter is an excellent soil amendment. It improves moisture holding capacity in sandy soils and helps to loosen clay soils. 3. Appropriate plant selection: Drought tolerant plants thrive here. There are many beautiful trees, shrubs and flowers with low water needs. 4. Practical turf areas: Replace unused lawns with other plants. Use hardsurfacing for play courts, patios, and walkways. 5. Water wisely: Water deeply, but infrequently to encourage deep rooting and drought-tolerance. 6. Mulch: Apply a layer of organic matter to: protect roots from elements, enrich soil, and control weeds. 7. Proper maintenance: Your landscape will require less maintenance over time.

ADD HVAC SYSTEMS TO SPRING T0-DO LISTS

FTER 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 list 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 ac 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 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 you should call in the professionals. Identifying these issues early allows homeowners to mitigate their repair costs and save from a complete system failure. 4. Schedule your twice-yearly maintenance: Your home’s HVAC system is a major investment, with replacement costs that can add up to $10,000 and more. Protect your investment by scheduling maintenance on your system at least twice a year using a trained, certified professional, such as the technicians found in HRAI’s online database.

Atheist in a foxhole

RECENTLY RECEIVED THE FOLLOWING EMAIL. It touched me and I wanted to share it, so I am doing so with the permission of the writer: “My letter to you got me to thinking, how often do we hear us atheists talking about living with a terminal illness and what that means or does to our way of thinking? “I must admit that the moniker of terminal illness may be a little dramatic for my case. “HIV is now treatable and what was once a pronouncement of a death sentence may be mostly a thing of the past (thank you, science), “I have only known about my HIV for a year now and am still grappling with the long, slow road back to health. “Just a month ago, we may have found a drug regimen that works for me! “My viral load gets smaller and smaller and, with the latest [last week] blood draw, my doctor thinks I may be undetectable this time around!

BILL LIGERTWOOD Rational THOUGHTS “This is wonderful news as it has taken me longer than most to see results like that. “However, where most people will cleave to religion for comfort in their hour of need, such as a situation like mine, I find my atheism brings me great comfort. “This may sound like a paradox, as it does not offer me immortality at this point and time. “However, I would have to say that, knowing it is a virus — and an inspiringly clever one at that — grants me a peace of mind that comes with respect for its existence. “In some ways, the awe I feel for its evolutionary engineering and cleverness grants me an appreciation for the thing that is respon-

sible for so much of my physical suffering. “This understanding only comes through science and not dusty, sacred texts. “Another thing is grappling with the slight, however possible, chance that I may suffer a slow and agonizing death whilst being a hardcore atheist. “My atheism grants me a comfort that is rock-solid and founded upon reason and fact, which is something that religion could never offer. “Yes, I am going to die but with the enlightenment that science brings, I can truly appreciate just how lucky and wonderful it is to exist at all! “Comfort in how neat the universe is when looked at through science goggles rather than primitive bronze age beliefs. “I hear so much of what comfort and peace brings to those who are suffering. “Bullshit. How I feel for those people as they to me seem gypped out on the magic of reality and how precious their life really is compared to the clutchings of unprovable sky gods

and folk tales. “This comfort and peace that they speak of seems so eerily similar to the ‘peace’ and ‘comfort,’ I get from rooting my feet firmly in truth and reality of the scientific method. “In that light, I can’t help but admire how much they are selling themselves short of a true life experience before they inevitably have to die. “How I wake up every morning to a blue sky or a green tree know the fractal math that is involved in its patterns or in the physics of its colour. “How much more appreciation I have for these things when my knowledge goes more than skin deep. “I hope you get a glimpse of the awe and wonder and joy my atheism brings to me in my time of hardship and pain! “Jonathan J.”

FAITH

Indulging in interests — His and our own HEN THE FAMOUS BIBLE teacher Henry Ironside was young and recently married, he gave vent to his personal feelings now and then. One Sunday, having preached five times, he was on way home and sat feeling sorry for himself. When his wife said something to him, he answered her curtly. When she rebuked him, he replied: “Don’t you realize I am worn out?” She responded: “Well, if you think you have NARAYAN MITRA something to complain about, You Gotta Have look at me! FAITH “I have had to listen to you five times and am equally tired as you.” Ironside had to apologize. He realized no Christian has the right to let his personal feelings lead him to wound others in order to indulge his own selfish mood. Selfishness is perhaps the chief form of pride and the root principle of sin. Self and God are two contrasting life principles and goals.

James, chapter four is a key passage on the theme of self. It describes the inner working of the human soul. In this chapter, we see how God sees the human heart. Self-interest, rather than the Holy Spirit, regulates the lives of many. The result is not only personal frustration but discord with others. The source of quarrels and conflicts among believers is the self-pleasing that dominates members of a group. “Lust,” in this passage, refers to sensual passion, but it can also mean any strong desire for what is not God’s will. It causes unrest, divided loyalties and frustration in the lives of Christians. They complain about their lack of peace but, too often, they do not get victory because they really do not want it more than they want their own selfish indulgence. Evangelist George Mueller once said: “When I face my own heart honestly, I discover that 95 per cent of my problems are myself and my own selfish desires.” Verse 2 is a description of frustrated sinful desire. The context shows James is speaking about backsliding worldly believers. No one can find real satisfaction in sinning, but a Christian finds even less.

The reason is he has to defy the inner witness of the Holy Spirit, God’s Word and his own enlightened conscience. Instead of fighting for what we want, we ought to pray about it and accept God’s answer, whether it’s yes or no. Sometimes God does not answer our prayers because we are asking for the wrong thinga or with the wrong motive (v. 3). Our great need is to want the right things, things that will be for God’s glory and for our good. There is no prayer we all need to pray as much as the prayer that we may love what God commands and desire what He promises. In vs. 5-10, James says pride is a form of self-exaltation and is obnoxious to the Lord. That is why God is opposed to the proud. Pride tends to put self first instead of God. Getting the victory over self and its desires and getting the victory over pride are much the same things. Pride shuts us out from the help God wants to give us. Verses 11 and 12 deal with the right and the wrong kinds of judging. Christians must speak out openly against sin and evil. At times it might be necessary to say something unpleasant even if doing so hurts someone.

We must be sure that what we tell is true, that it is really necessary to tell it and that we share it with love. Unless a criticism is both true and necessary, we are to hold our tongues. Verses 13 to 16 talk about self-confidence, which must not take the place of confidence in God. When our confidence in ourselves is greater than our trust in God, we are likely to act independently of God. We ought to live so that our every plan, purpose, thought and act will be subject to God’s will. If we look constantly to God for leading throughout the day, we will frustrate the old self-life which likes to act independently of God and His will. Verse 16 speaks of boasting. Anyone who boasts about tomorrow does not understand the true nature of life or refuses to face the facts. The fourth chapter closes with a striking statement. James seems to say: No doubt you agree with the above theory. Remember that if a man knows what is right and fails to do it, his failure is sin.

TRAVEL

Plenty to see and do X From B20

Fitzwilliam Street is picture-postcard pretty: cobbled streets flanked by art stores, curios, crafts, books, and boutiques. Don’t leave town without munching on a Nanaimo Bar. At Parksville/ Qualicum, treat yourself to a spa experience at The Grotto (Tigh Na Mara Resort). Luxuriate in a sensuous massage with scented oils, thermal wraps and soothing rubs. Afterward, indulge in an epicurean meal (while wearing a cozy bathrobe) at their Treetops Tapas Restaurant. Pricey, but worth it • Day five: Drive to Coombs and check out whether the goats at the Old Country Market are still chomping the turf on the roof. Allow yourself to be diverted by funky knick-knacks on display at the adjoining arts and craft shops. For an “aah” moment, drop by the World Parrot Refuge in Coombs. Even if you don’t know a parrot from a pigeon, this is a meltyour-heart experience. The inmates’ offer a raucous welcome — they are curious and adore visitors; Wendy Huntbatch, who owns this “orphanage” for 800 sick or abandoned birds, will be happy to show you around. Call it a day in Comox — a small town with quiet charm. Be sure to explore the Filberg Heritage Lodge and Park with its rustic lodge, nine acres of flowering shrubs and West Coast cedars. Their resident deer love posing for pictures. • Day six: The scenery along the 40-minute B.C. Ferry crossing from Saltery Bay to Earl’s Cove, is sheer West Coast panorama: snow-peaked mountains, inlets threading between

humped islands glimmering in the distance. The Sunshine Coast is an enchantment of dappled glades, winding trails, secret coves and small communities along the coastline. It is also home to a variety of handicrafts: Crystal, blown glass, wood carvings, pottery, paintings, woven rugs and shawls — just follow the Purple Banner signs along the way. Splurge on a sybaritic night’s stay at The Painted Boat’s Resort and Spa. Set amongst five acres of waterfront woodland at Madeira Park, it is the ultimate in luxury. Sip your glass of wine on the deck while listening to the plaintive cry of a loon wafting on the evening air. • Day seven: Gibsons Landing’s claim to fame is the TV series The Beachcomers — and Molly’s Reach restaurant is still an iconic landmark in lower Gibsons. Marine Drive boasts curio shops like the Waltzing Whippet and elegant galleries like the Spirit of Place and Gift of the Eagle. Among the town’s trendy little restaurants is Smitty’s Oyster House, where patrons sit elbow-to-elbow at their 27-feet spruce dockside table, while tucking into fresh oysters, mussels, clams and prawns. Cindy Buis of Artworks Tours conducts walking tours around lower Gibsons and you’ll be beguiled by tales about the famous — and infamous — characters who once lived here. • Day eight: The final leg on the tour takes you back to the mainland. Catch an evening ferry and watch the lights of West Vancouver spangle the dusk as you pull into Horseshoe Bay.
