Crown wants long-term eyes on Caza By Tim Petruk STAFF REPORTER tim@kamloopsthisweek.com

Aberdeen residents Gordon Kerfoot and Joanne Swifton are among those opposed to a proposed strata project on land next to Aberdeen elementary. Kerfoot and Swifton argue the density of the multi-family development does not fit with the single-family neighbourhood. Dave Eagles/KTW

Future view elicits an ‘Ew’ By Andrea Klassen STAFF REPORTER andrea@kamloopsthisweek.com

From a driveway on Fleming Place, Gordon Kerfoot is contemplating the future of his view — and his view of the future. Above his street sits more than two hectares of wild grass and shrubs, separating neighbours downslope from Aberdeen elementary on Van Horne Drive. For the past 19 years, the site and the view have remained about the same. On Thursday, April 26, landowner Craftsman Ventures Ltd. sent Kerfoot a computerized rendering of what he can expect his view to be like should their plans for the lot proceed. In the printout, a row of beige buildings peek out from behind the rooftops

of Fleming Place — five being duplexes that will line the northern edge of a proposed 64-unit strata development headed to public hearing later this month. “I showed it to my daughter Amy. She’s 14 years old,” he told KTW. “She was like, ‘Ew.’” Together with Joanne Swifton — who lives on another street below the development — and two other homeowners in the neighbourhood, Kerfoot has been collecting signatures for a petition opposing the strata project. So far, at least one person in each of 101 homes in the area has signed. Much of the controversy surrounding the project has to do with its current zoning. For several decades, the land has been zoned for church use, though city staff have said a move to multi-family zoning is consistent with Kamloops’

Official Community Plan. Swifton and Kerfoot said many in the neighbourhood feel the densification — which includes 11 duplexes, six triplexes and a four-storey apartment building — doesn’t make sense in the area and feel the development is being unfairly sprung on them. “I don’t have the choice of deciding now whether I’d like to live next door to a multi-family development,” Kerfoot said. “If I go choose to live up in the [Aberdeen] Highlands, I know the zoning is already in place. You buy your home and know that’s going to be multifamily housing, medium density.” The two are also concerned about how the new development will affect the stability of the slope on which they live.

A notorious Kamloops pedophile who was convicted this week of possessing and distributing child pornography could be under strict supervision for up to a decade after he gets out of jail. David Caza was found guilty in B.C. Supreme Court in Kamloops on Tuesday, May 1, of two charges, but acquitted on counts of invitation to sexual touching and Internet luring. He was also convicted of one breach charge. Caza, 48, has been in custody since his arrest in January 2010, which came as part of an international lawenforcement crackdown on child pornography. During a lengthy trial that wrapped up last month, court heard police searched Caza’s Columbia Street apartment and turned up 3,500 videos and 50,000 pictures, most of them verified to be depictions of children involved in sexual acts. Mounties also found photos apparently taken from Caza’s apartment, showing children play-

ing in the snow in the St. Ann’s Academy schoolyard across Columbia Street. B.C. Supreme Court Justice Robert Powers noted the “time and interest” Caza devoted to his child-porn collection. “There is no doubt this was an extremely large and well-organized collection of child pornography, mostly involving young boys,” Powers said, describing the evidence against Caza as “overwhelming” on the possession and distribution counts. “There can be no other reasonable inference drawn.” The photos of St. Ann’s children playing in the snow were found to have been taken on Jan. 4, 2010 — six days before Caza’s arrest.

RAGE AGAINST THE CAMERA Veronica Foulds, a Grade 7 student at Aberdeen elementary, captured this photo of herself with a duckling named, appropriately enough, Rage while duck-sitting some feathered friends after school. The ducklings in Mrs. Fortem’s kindergarten class hatched recently, an annual life-cycle lesson for her students that begins with eggs under heat lamps and culminates with the little birds emerging from the shell. Soon, the ducklings will be taken to area farms to continue their journey into adulthood.

High-angle rescue needed to retrieve hikers By Tim Petruk STAFF REPORTER

tim@kamloopsthisweek.com

It took 10 firefighters 90 minutes to rescue a young couple from the steep trails of Peterson Creek Park on Wednesday afternoon (May 2), but both made it out without injury. “It was weird,” said Emily Maxfield, 18, who became stranded alongside her boyfriend, 19-yearold Devon Johnson, on an afternoon hike in the popular Kamloops park just south of downtown. “It was really weird.” Emergency crews were called to Peterson Creek at about 1:15 p.m. after Johnson used his cellphone to call 911. Maxfield and Johnson became stuck on a rock face just east of the Peterson Creek waterfall. According to Maxfield, it was their first time hiking the park. Kamloops Fire Rescue Assistant Chief Dave

McMahon said a team of 10 firefighters performed a technical high-angle rescue to get the hikers down. “They were uninjured and everybody goes home after an exciting day at Peterson Creek,” he said. McMahon advised against hikers with little experience attempting to tackle Peterson Creek’s slopes, but said the couple made the right decision calling for help. “Kudos to them,” he said. “They’re a young couple and they made the right call to 911.” After the rescue, Maxfield was happy to speak to a group of a half-dozen reporters gathered at the base of the waterfall. Johnson, who darted down a path and into the bush, apparently was not. “My boyfriend is scared of heights,” Maxfield said.

Cab company focus of two lawsuits ALL YOU CAN EAT! $50,000 sought as a result of December altercation By Tim Petruk STAFF REPORTER

tim@kamloopsthisweek.com

Two Lower Mainland men have filed lawsuits seeking nearly $50,000 from a Kamloops taxi company claiming they were assaulted by a cab driver. In separate court actions — one filed on April 27, the other on May 1 — Ritesh Mishra and Neel Kamal Sharma, both from Surrey, claim they were beat up by a Kami Cabs driver on Dec. 22, 2011, while they were in Kamloops visiting friends. The men, both 35 years old, claim the incident took place at about 2 a.m. in the parking lot outside Boston Pizza in Sahali. Mishra said the fare was about $7, and he tried to pay with a pre-paid Visa card.

“He tried it [the pre-paid Visa] but it wasn’t working,” Mishra told KTW. According to Mishra, the cabbie left the meter running while attempting to get the Visa to go through. After noticing the meter was still running, Mishra said, the men decided to pay in cash. “We gave him $20 and said give me $10 back and keep the rest in change,” Mishra said, explaining the cabbie refused. When the men got out of the cab, Mishra said, they were assaulted. Police were called, and a file was created. “There’s still an open investigation,” said Kamloops RCMP Staff Sgt. Grant Learned. “There were physical injuries incurred by everyone.” Learned said the altercation

has turned into a he-said-hesaid. “It’s one of those where we get differing accounts of what happened,” he said. “We are still gathering more information before deciding if charges can be considered.” Mishra is suing Kami Cabs for a total of $24,080. That amount includes $15,000 in pain and suffering and $9,000 in lost wages. Sharma, meanwhile, is seeking $22,553.76 — including $15,000 in pain and suffering and $7,500 in lost wages. Kami Cabs has 14 days to file a reply, beginning when they’re served with the court documents. None of the allegations have been proven in court. Calls to Kami Cabs were not returned by KTW press deadline.

Driver blows three times legal limit following crash The collision was minor, but the impairment was major. That’s the word from Kamloops Mounties after an officer on the North Shore spotted a vehicle drive slowly into a median on Tranquille Road early Wednesday morning (May 2). RCMP Staff Sgt. Grant Learned said the constable approached the vehicle and noticed the 28-year-old woman behind the wheel appeared

to be drunk. After being arrested and taken to the RCMP’s Battle Street detachment, Learned said, the woman provided two breath samples — each showing her blood-alcohol level was nearly three-and-a-half times the legal limit of 0.08. The woman was released on a promise to appear in court. Learned said it’s likely she will face criminal impaired-driving charges.

I have a pet, and we need a home... The BC SPCA believes that if landlords were aware of the significant benefits of pet-friendly housing, they would be more inclined to offer it. One of the biggest direct advantages of offering pet-friendly housing is increased rental income, since people with pets will pay 20 to 30% more for housing. People with pets also stay longer – an average of 46 months, compared to 18 months for people without pets – saving landlords from having to spend time advertising for, finding and screening new reliable tenants.

COVER PAGE STORY David Caza was living in a unit in the Uplands Apartments, at Columbia Street and First Avenue, when he was arrested and charged with possessing and distributing child pornography. During his trial, court heard Caza had in his home photos showing children playing in the snow in the St. Ann’s Academy schoolyard across Columbia Street. Dave Eagles/KTW

You’re Approved!! Bankrupt, Bad Credit, No Credit? First Time Buyer’s Program! Tired of hearing NO? You’re Approved! (O.A.C.)

Caza swapped hard drives when Mounties knocked on door X From A1

When police entered Caza’s apartment, they found an 80-gigabyte hard drive plugged into his computer. That hard drive did not contain child pornography. However, a search of the apartment turned up a 500-gigabyte hard drive that did contain child pornography. Caza swapped the hard drives when he heard police knocking on his door. Caza was convicted in 2001 of sexually assaulting three teenaged boys and again in 2005 for possession of child pornography. Prior to his arrest in 2010, he had been living on court-ordered conditions requiring he stay 100 metres away from schools and parks, and barring him from possessing “visual representations of persons who reasonably appear to be under the age of 16 years.” Crown prosecutor Bernie Ward said he plans to seek long-term offend-

er status for Caza — meaning he will be under strict supervision for up to 10 years after his release from jail. The status is one step below a dangerous-offender designation, which can see high-risk criminals jailed indefinitely. A long-term offender designation begins after a criminal is done serving his or her jail sentence and involves a long-term supervision order — as long as 10 years — in the community. Dangerous offenders are handed indeterminate jail sentences. Both designations require approval from B.C.’s attorney general before being sought. Lawyers will meet to set a date for Caza’s next court appearance before the potential long-term offender process begins. Powers said he will sentence Caza without a designation if the process of seeking government approval takes too long.

MORTGAGE MATTERS PAYING OFF YOUR MORTGAGE FASTER For many Canadian homeowners, one of their highest financial priorities is to pay off their mortgage as quickly as possible. Making extra payments in the early years can shorten the life of a mortgage — and dramatically lower the mortgage interest costs you’ll pay over the long haul. Those extra payments can be a sacrifice, so here are some tips to help motivate you: TIP #1: Start small - Round up your payments Try adding $10 or $20 extra per payment, the amount of interest you are saving will make a difference over time, and it’s relatively painless to part with. TIP #2: Increase your payment annually to the most you can afford Most lenders will allow you to increase your monthly payment by 10%, 15% or even 20%. Increasing your payment means you won’t have to be disciplined to save up a lump sum payment, it will be added to your payment each month, and go directly against your mortgage principle. If you find the payments are too much, most lenders will allow you to reduce your payment to the original contract rate. A small fee may apply. TIP #3: Pay a lump sum whenever possible Lump sum payments are extra payments which go directly against your mortgage principle. Now remember, your monthly payment of interest and principle was based on you making NO extra payments – so in fact, because of your payment, less interest will accrue and now more of your regular monthly payment will go toward paying down mortgage principle. TIP #4: Invest in your mortgage for tax free savings If you prepay $1000 of your mortgage balance and your mortgage interest rate is 5%, you will save about $50 per year. Now, because of income taxes (estimated at 35%), you actually have to earn $77 to make $50 in real after tax dollars. An argument could be made that your $1000 payment/investment in your mortgage, actually pays a 7.7% return per year, not just 5%. Thats more than most GICs or bonds and the savings are not taxable!

TIP #6: Raise payments in line with increased income If your income increases, consider applying at least some of the surplus toward your mortgage. The long-term beneﬁts of becoming mortgage free faster should be a strong motivator to make an increased mortgage payment. Don’t waste your hard-earned money on interest!

Wondering about that school? Find out about it yourself

ERE’S AN IDEA. Let’s all ignore the Fraser Institute when it decides to pontificate on education in the province. Let’s use our own common sense and make our own decisions on how well our schools are functioning, how well our students are faring and what needs to be done to improve their lot. Here’s the gauge I’ve been using since the first child entered school about 25 years ago — if they’re happy, if they are learning, if they’re even engaged and if I’m not fighting with them in the morning to go to school, that’s a sign of success. If I go to parent-teacher night and the teachers I meet with don’t look like they’re about to collapse from exhaustion, if they also seem engaged and want to talk to me about my kids — the good and the bad — that’s a sign of success. As someone who, while a young student, was subjected to a lot of tests in school, many of them to gauge my own performance in various subjects, I learned early those are not the beall and end-all of education. They’re tools, just like pens, pencils and textbooks. In fact, they’re not nearly as valuable as the real tools of the trade, because tests are so subjective. Have a bad day and your mark might be off. Have an awesome day and you might also be stunned at the mark you get. I never considered my parent’s income a factor in my educational success.

DALE BASS Street

LEVEL And, I use the singular because I come from one of those families where the mother worked in the house. Truth be told, I sometimes thought the educational levels of my parents had more of an impact on my education than the amount of money they had in the bank, the reality being neither graduated from high school, thanks to the Second World War’s ability to disrupt a lot of their generation’s hopes and dreams. I remember being in Grade 5 and needing help with my math homework. Neither mother nor father could figure it out; they got the kid next door, who was in university, to sit down and give me a hand. Had the Fraser Institute been around back then, it might have despaired for my educational future. After all, for several years I went to a three-room school in a rural area. It was a house converted to a school; the kindergarten kids were in the garage, grades 1 to 4 were in the basement and grades 5 to 8 were upstairs.

Walls had been removed to make each floor one big room. There were three teachers and a principal who dropped in throughout the week to check on us. I thrived — mainly because the teachers were fantastic. From there, it was a year at what would generously be called an innercity school, again in a poorer section of town but, once more, with an amazing teacher who challenged and inspired me. Sure, there were kids in my class who didn’t do so well and who likely were also dropouts, and there were some who just zoned out and coasted along — but that was their decision. The schools had nothing to do with it. Any parent knows, if your kid doesn’t want to be motivated, they won’t be. Maybe, if my parents had been rich and could have sent me to a private school, I might have done better than I did in the public system — but I don’t think so. I think schools are just buildings. Some are built in rich areas, some in not-so-rich neighbourhoods. Some have people who like to call themselves headmasters; others have principals. But, in the end, the best guide for each of us on how good our schools are is what we think for ourselves, what we feel in our soul. The way to know that isn’t to read the crap the Fraser Institute tries to disguise as relevant data. The way to know about a school’s success is to find out for yourself. dale@kamloopsthisweek.com

Is the B.C. electorate truly drifting to the left? The results of two byelections last month might seem to indicate a rise in support for the NDP. But, it’s just as likely to be a symptom of resistance to the rightof-centre options offered in the province today. It’s no secret the public is disenchanted with the B.C. Liberal brand. Where once the party name alone was deemed a sufficient selling point, they have been falling over themselves to remind us that they are “a free-enterprise coalition.” This past weekend’s departure of party executive director Chad Pederson and director of communications Jehnifer Benoit to pursue opportunities in the private sector — no matter how vociferous their parting good wishes — can only be viewed by a jaundiced public as further symptoms of the B.C. Liberals’ slide. The provincial electorate is angry — angry as much as anything else with a lack of leadership choices. Policy advisers should recognize that when the public blood boils, it’s not a time to expect calm or rational decision-making. Lecturing, or hectoring, the electorate will likely only raise the temperature in the kitchen. It’s not just a B.C. problem. The Occupy movement achieved traction internationally because of the unpunished excesses of a group of economic looters. Avarice — and corporate and governmental doublespeak — has led to a climate of suspicion surrounding all free-enterprise capitalism, a climate that must be overcome by responsible leadership. Many still recognize soundly based business success is crucial to the economy, the only sure source of jobs, a proper living wage and the money to adequately fund much-needed social programs. It is likely many British Columbians still support free enterprise. It’s just free-for-all enterprise they have a problem with.

Re: Dermatologist will quit practice this summer: “We are in the midst of extensive renovations of our home. “We have had a variety of tradespersons involved in the process. “Not one of them works for as little as the meagre hourly rate the province chooses to pay Dr. Christopher Sladden, who is engaged in the business of saving the lives of cancer patients. “As a former patient and cancer sufferer of Sladden’s, I can attest to the fact he is extremely conscientious in his approach to medicine and certainly not in favour of increasing his income at the expense of the quality of treatments provided to his patients. “Many of us have encountered the wham-bam-thank-youma’am conveyer-belt treatment provided by many walk-in clinics, where interview, diagnosis and treatment is completed in less than five minutes. “We need our Kamloops dermatologist. “Surely we can afford more than a pittance to keep him.” — posted by Leonard Hemming

TALK BACK

Q&A WE ASKED Do you support the rezoning proposal that would see multi-family housing built next to Aberdeen elementary?

SURVEY RESULTS

YES 56% NO 44%

Spending is way out of control at city hall Editor: What legitimate business has to continually increase rates, even though business is booming? Adding a few more plates to the dinner table doesn’t require a whole new kitchen and staff. The bottom line is city spending is completely out of control. If adding new city staff was saving taxpayers money, I would say hire lots more. But, obviously, it isn’t. In the real world, employees are asked to take up the slack when things get busy.

They don’t just go about hiring more permanent staff. I have worked with people who couldn’t manage to do a simple job alone and they were always asking for help. All it took to complete this job was a good effort for the first few hours every day, then the rest of the day was easy. The city needs to base its business model on the Kamloops-Thompson school district, rather than a big mine with endless funds, using the excuse that taxpayers don’t want services cut when, in reality, the city is increasing service level

exponentially. My neighborhood is now ruined, with a daily wailing of sirens from a new firehall and the loss of a beautiful golf course, all from city hall’s desire to expand Kamloops in a southern direction. Now we are expected to deal with huge increases in dust levels from the proposed Ajax mine. City officials are drooling as they attempt to get their hands on some extra tax dollars, which will never be enough. Kim Young Kamloops

Vancouver Canucks lose with class Editor: Although the Vancouver Canucks ended their playoff run a little earlier than expected, they lost without whining or complaining. This behaviour does not support comments made last year by Mark Recchi about the Canucks being an arroganr club.

I found Recchi’s comments to be very unprofessional for a stanley Cup winner.

G. Hamonic Kamloops

Rube Band was fabulous in RiverBend visit Editor: It is through your esteemed newspaper that I would like to draw the kind attention of the people of Kamloops. We at the RiverBend seniors community were fortunate to have a visit recently from the Rube Band.

They were fabulous. It was a red-carpet affair and their talents and humour are an invaluable asset to Kamloops. Vicki Acheson Kamloops

All cities need some industry Editor: I was born in Kamloops and I am glad those opposed to the proposed Ajax copper and gold mine were not here when our pulp mill was in the planning stages. Kamloops would have lost out on many high-paying jobs and the city would not have the benefit of a major tax base. Opponents should sell their homes and try to find a place without any industry.

While Forgie said the group is seeing interest from â&#x20AC;&#x153;young, trendy people,â&#x20AC;? the laneway project is also attracting the attention of senior citizens looking to downsize without moving out of their neighbourhoods.

Mitchell Forgie is a diehard downtowner. Since giving up the daily commute to make the city centre his home base, â&#x20AC;&#x153;I hardly ever leave,â&#x20AC;? he said. Instead, in his latest business venture, heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hoping to give more people a chance to join him. Formed earlier this year, Kamloops Laneways Builders is a partnership of local builders, architects and green-building consultants dedicated to designing and building secondary, alley-facing homes within the city. The company produces custombuilt houses meant to match the character of their neighbourhoods and helps property owners navigate city regulations and public hearings. But, Forgie said, the Laneway Builders also see themselves as public educators. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s as much a public awareness campaign, encouraging what we consider a better way to live,â&#x20AC;? he said. The goal is to build in the core downtown and North Shore areas in particular, although the houses can be built in any part of the

Although the city has approved individual requests for laneway homes in the past, City of Kamloops planner Blake Collins said itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s it only in the last year city hall has come up with specific, standardized rules for building them. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We were looking for creative ways to encourage new construction of rental housing and there werenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t many other options out there,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Purpose-built rental buildings, theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re on the decline. decline So, we were looking at other cost-effective ways of doing something.â&#x20AC;? Under the new guidelines, a laneway home can be up to 1,000 square feet and two storeys tall. Most of the homes Laneway Builders have been involved with so far have been close to that size, said Forgie, and all have had two bedrooms. The group is working on a design for a 450-square-foot, onebedroom unit â&#x20AC;&#x153;for the person who really just wants to do something simple and get somebody renting in their backyard,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;However, surprisingly, the low-cost

Kamloops realtor sanctioned by B.C. council A Kamloops realtor has been ordered to pay $2,500 in penalties and complete a remedial-education course after being found guilty of a dozen violations of B.C.’s Real Estate Services Act. In a decision dated April 24, the Real Estate Council of B.C. ordered Mona Murray to pay $1,500 in fines and another

$1,000 in costs, plus successfully complete a real-estate course at the University of B.C.’s Sauder School of Business. Murray was found guilty of publishing misleading advertising, failing to promptly deliver or deposit all trust monies, permitting improper withdrawals and not keeping proper books.

The issues arose after Murray was audited by the Real Estate Council of B.C. in 2010. The misleadingadvertising offence stems from a pamphlet incorrectly identifying one of Murray’s employees as a “certified property manager.” Murray has been a licensed realtor in B.C. since 1983.

She started her company, MCM Real Estate Ltd., in 2008. This is not Murray’s first time being reprimanded by the Real Estate Council of B.C. In 2008, she was ordered to pay a $1,000 fine and complete a different remedial-education course after being found guilty of separate offences. If Murray does not

comply with the penalties imposed last week, she could have her realestate licence cancelled.

Charges laid in multiple bear-spray attacks Two men arrested after three incidents on April 29 By Tim Petruk STAFF REPORTER

tim@kamloopsthisweek.com

Charges have been laid against two men after a brief, cough-ridden crime spree last weekend. Richard Annett-Chartier, 20, and Layton MacLaren, 19, are each facing two counts of attempted robbery and single counts of assault with a weapon and fraudulently obtaining food. MacLaren is also facing an additional charge of possessing a weapon for a dangerous purpose. Kamloops RCMP Staff Sgt. Grant Learned said the trouble began at about 8:15 p.m. on Sunday, April 29, when police were called to the Earls restaurant on Columbia Street in Sahali for a report of a dine-anddash. About 20 minutes later, while an officer was at the restaurant

Map shows general locations of the bear-spray attacks (! symbol) and the location of Earls restaurant (pin symbol).

following up on the complaint, police received a report of an attempted mugging and bearspraying in the 700-block of McGill Road, behind the Real Canadian Superstore, two blocks from Earls. Two victims were involved and both refused to hand over their wallets. One of the victims was taken to hospital to be treated for the effects of the bear spray.

Ten minutes after that, at 8:45 p.m., Mounties received another report of a bear-spraying two blocks away, in the same area of McGill Road. In that case, a man said he was approached by two men, who asked him for change. When he said no, he was hit with a blast of bear spray. Two hours later, at 10:40 p.m., Learned said, the men approached a couple outside their Grandview Terrace home in the city’s West End. After a heated verbal exchange, the suspects attempted to bear spray the couple. Annett-Chartier and MacLaren were arrested in an apartment a block away from the Grandview Terrace home. In court on Monday, April 30, Annett-Chartier was released, while MacLaren had his bail hearing set for today (May 3).

Cost of public budget meetings — $73 per resident who attended By Andrea Klassen STAFF REPORTER andrea@kamloopsthisweek.com

By swapping its meeting times from day to night, Kamloops city council tripled the number of citizens who engaged in this year’s budget process. But, for every one of the 226 people who came out to three nights of meetings, the city spent more than $73 dollars on advertising, photocopying, refreshments and recording. “That’s a lot of cookies,” Coun. Tina Lange joked when Mayor Peter Milobar threw out a per-person estimate for this year’s public consultation. The mayor’s original estimate put the cost closer to $90 per-person, but Tammy Robertson, business and client services manager for the city, said she and city finance staff recalculated and arrived at the lower $73 figure. Robertson said the bulk of the cash was spent on advertising and creating a new budget section of the city’s website that includes videos of all the meetings. She said the meetings were a “significant success” in terms of turnout, when compared with crowds the budget process previously attracted. “I was shooting for between 200 and 250, which was about three times what we’ve seen in the past,” Robertson said. “So, I was very pleased to see we were in that range and hopefully we’ll get more in future.” Robertson said the $73 per-person figure doesn’t take into account people who watched the meetings online, a statistic she didn’t have available when she spoke to KTW. Milobar said he sees the amount spent on public consultation as worthwhile. “You have to look at things on the overall scale of things,” he said. “Sometimes when we connect with the public, we do it for very low cost and, other items, I think we need to spend that money.” Milobar believes Kamloops residents were more aware of this year’s budget, even if they didn’t attend the meetings, in part because the city added more information about its finances to this year’s advertising campaign. “I think it accomplished what we had hoped in terms of reaching out to the public and getting their thoughts and better informing our deliberations,” he said. Robertson said next year’s budget-meeting costs will likely be a bit lower since some of the work done in 2012, such as building the new budget site, won’t have to be repeated.

Using TRU skills to make a difference By Andrea Klassen STAFF REPORTER andrea@kamloopsthisweek.com

It wasn’t the kind of work site for which Joel Woitas and Tawny Fortier and their classmates had planned. The plan the group of nine Thompson Rivers University students had sketched out in their heads before departing for southern Mexico had involved electric tools. But, save for some generators, the students — all part of the Electrical Foundation program — were decidedly off the grid. That was the point. While field work is a typical part of the TRU trades program, the Mexico trip was the first time field school has gone international. Student electricians who opted to take part in the pilot project spent two weeks in Mexico’s Oaxaca state, working with international development group Esperanza to install solar panels and bring electricity to a village with no utilities. “It’s one thing to be able to say I wired the dream home at Sun Rivers, but it’s another thing to say, ‘Hey, I went to a small community in Mexico and

installed solar panels and lighting for them,’” Woitas said. The students, who paid for their trips, spent their days wiring and installing the panels, which wasn’t always a straightforward process. “Here, you don’t have enough wire, you go out and buy more wire. You need a hammer, you go buy a hammer,” Woitas said. “There, the nearest hardware store is two hours away. You make do with what you’ve got.” The students also taught villagers how to care for their solar systems and spoke at a nearby university as part of the trip. “Getting to practise the trade I want to get into, out of country, was really special,” Fortier said, noting the highlight of the trip was making a connection with the villagers who hosted her group during their visit. She plans to return to the area at some point with her daughter and visit some of the friends she has made. TRU instructor Dana McIntyre said the school plans to offer another international field session in Mexico this fall. “From the school’s

point of view, these young people have just gotten new skills and their focus in acquiring those skills is to go out and get a job,” he says. “But, I think one of the things this trip offers is an opportunity for them to see how their new skills can make a difference in people’s lives.”

Summer break remains By Tim Petruk STAFF REPORTER

tim@kamloopsthisweek.com

Summer break isn’t going anywhere for students in the Kamloops-Thompson school district — not yet, anyway. Last week, the provincial government opened the door to year-round schooling, amending the School Act to allow districts to choose their own start and stop dates. Education Minister George Abbott touted the changes as a way to give school districts more ways to enhance learning. But, according to the chairwoman of the Kamloops-Thompson school board, no calendar changes will be made any time soon. “We’re at the very, very, very beginning,” Denise Harper told KTW. “It’s a long ways off.” Harper said the district will look at it, though. “We have no wish to impose anything on parents or schools,” she said. “But, we’ll do a consultation and find out what

the interest is.” Harper pointed to a Williams Lake school — Glendale elementary — as an example of the potential benefits of year-round schooling. “They’ve been on a year-round calendar for at least 20 years,” she said. “The reason they established it that way is because the parents of the students were primarily involved in the logging industry. “For them, it made more sense to have a number of shorter breaks.” Harper speculated any potential year-round school calendars in SD73 would be implemented under similar circumstances — as schools of choice. “It’s not going to be a one size fits all,” she said. “We’re going to listen to parents and staff and go from there.” Harper stressed the fact the legislation changes were just made. “We haven’t even began discussions with it,” she said. “A lot of water has to pass under the bridge.”

Young-authors story begins at TRU Writers, aspiring and established alike, will meet at Thompson Rivers University on Friday, May 4, in the annual Young Authors Conference. Gurdeep Pannu, principal of Juniper Ridge elementary and a Young Authors Conference committee member, said 150 students in grades 4 to 12 from throughout the Kamloops-Thompson school district will be taking part in the daylong event. The day will feature eight authors working

with students in various workshop stations, and Pannu said the face-to-face interaction is key to the learning process. “And, it’s exciting for the kids that they can say they met the authors,” Pannu said. The conference will begin at 8:30 a.m. in the Clocktower Theatre with an opening ceremony, followed by workshops in the International Building, culminating in an awards ceremony back in the Clocktower Theatre at 2:30 p.m.

Pannu said young authors have earlier completed narrativeand prose-writing assignments in school. Those creations will be judged by the conference’s committee members, with the Marg Van Dusen Award being given to an elementary and high school student. There will also be an honourable mention named at each school level. Last year’s Marg Van Dusen Award winners were Wade Hooper from Summit elementary and Jessica

Norman from South Kamloops secondary. The day’s studentauthor interaction will see students split into eight groups — four at the elementary level and four at the secondary level — and taking part in rotating workshops with authors. Guest authors at this year’s conference are Norma Charles, Lee Edward Fodi, Lori Sherritt-Fleming and Crystal Stranaghan (elementary) and Susan Buis, Julie Burtinshaw, KC Karen Dyer and Denise Jaden.

Sunday anniversary tea at St.Andrews on the Square The public is invited to attend the 125th Anniversary Tea of St. Andrews on the Square, the oldest public building in Kamloops. The event will take place on Sunday, May 6, from 2 p.m. to 4 p.m. at the corner of Seymour Street and Second Avenue.

Three-a-piece Hat-tricks from strikers Moraya Harrison and Courtney Morice lifted the under-16 Kamloops Blaze girls to a 6-1 victory over hometown Salmon Arm on Sunday, April 29. Dane Pedersen had a strong game in midfield and Kamloops goalie Jasmine Hanemayer was solid in net.

Hot out of the gate The under-14 Kamloops Blaze tier 2 girls had a fast start and never looked back against Shuswap on Sunday, April 29. Kamloops had a 3-0 lead at halftime — thanks to goals from Jasmine Bains, Katherine Reid and Cierra Fisher — and that was the final score. Kaitlyn Guise played well between the pipes for the Blaze (1-11), who play next in Penticton on Sunday, May 6.

Glen Mantie has been busy finishing pieces for display and sale at the Thompson Valley Potters’ Guild semi-annual show and sale at Desert Gardens Community Centre on Saturday, May 5. Dave Eagles/KTW

Clay fuels potter’s wheel of success By Dale Bass STAFF REPORTER dale@kamloopsthisweek.com

LEN MANTIE IS FOCUSING ON THE SEVEN DEADLY SINS. They’re not the traditional ones we were taught about in Sunday school or perhaps by our parents but, rather, sins of today’s world. And, in particular, he’s been considering the reality of “children having children.”

There are sketches of a young girl posted next to the workbench where the artist and president of the Thompson Valley Potters Guild works. Nearby are pieces that, when finished, will be that girl who will represent the reality in society that there are times when kids, for whatever reason, have kids of their own. It’s all for an upcoming show he and some other potters are involved in called The Seven Deadly Sins of Our Times. He drew his inspiration from a time

when he saw a young girl pushing a baby carriage and delivering papers. “She didn’t look much older than 12,” Mantie said, “and that’s where the children having children idea came from.” The pieces are slowly coming together; on the day KTW visited, the legs were wrapped to soften up so he could sculpt them. Other body parts are also on their way to being finished for the show, which is planned for the Old Courthouse Cultural Centre later in the year through the

Kamloops Arts Council. But, first, he’s finishing pieces for the spring instalment of the guild’s spring show on Saturday, May 5, at Desert Gardens Community Centre, 540 Seymour St., from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Admission is free. While he enjoys the more creative side of his craft, Mantie said he’s finishing off bowls, plates and other functinal pottery because that’s what tends to sell at shows. X See MANY B5

Hogan’s seen his own Phoenix work on Phoenix — and the irony is not lost on him as he also rises from the ashes of a medical crisis. His voice is different now, Hogan said, but it’s still strong. “And one upside of having this kind of cancer when you’re a vocalist is they can look at the vocal chords. “So, they did that and I asked if they can see any nodes and they saw none. “That’s good.” Hogan’s show is at 7 p.m.

By Dale Bass STAFF REPORTER dale@kamloopsthisweek.com

Sean Hogan lost a friend to cancer last month. The friend was two years younger than the Campbell River singersongwriter, but had the same cancer Hogan has battled in recent months. The loss hit him hard — and helped fuel his desire to help the Canadian Cancer Society. That’s why part of the proceeds from his show tonight (May 3) at the Commodore Grand Cafe and Longe will go to the society. Hogan was through treatment last fall for stage-four oral pharyngeal cancer, a condition that was dagnosed after two bouts of tonsilitis and one tonsil that just never seemed to get better. The cancer is the same one that George Harrison, Levon Helm and Eddie Van Halen had. Hogan’s tonsils came out in August and the cancer was found in one of them, as well as nodes in the area. “You go into treatment feeling pretty decent,” he said, “and then you get the radiation-induced ulcers. “I lost 30 pounds; I could only really afford to lose 10.” Hogan is glad the treatments were done in a way that avoided exposure to his larynx “so the voice is still good.” Hogan debuted his music in 1996 and was described as a blend of alt-country and modern rustic pop. He was named the Canadian Country Music Association’s independent male artist of the ear in 1997 and his next two albums were named Best Country Album at the West Coast Music Awards. In 2003, he was named the CCMA’s roots artist of the year and his next album won a handful of other awards. In 2010, he started

Mercer’s happy being a regular guy By Marty Hastings STAFF REPORTER

sports@kamloopsthisweek.com

Rick Mercer’s desire for the limelight is reserved for the stage. “I’m actually a fairly shy person,” said Mercer, who spoke to KTW from New York City on Tuesday, May 1. “The thing I hate the most is talking to people who like to draw attention to themselves. “I certainly get enough attention on a daily basis. I don’t need to draw attention to myself.” Mercer will be performing his live act — A Nation Worth Ranting About — at the Sagebrush Theatre on Saturday, May 5. The CBC star said he is happy to blend in — and it’s easier for him to do than people might think. “Being a celebrity in Canada, for a lack of a better term, doesn’t really exist,” Mercer said. “You get good service on Air Canada. That’s when you know you’ve hit the big time.” His comments were not to be taken entirely seriously — the Newfoundlander is often recognized on the street. When Mercer is noticed and approached by an admirer, there can at times be pressure on him to be funny — and that’s just fine. “No one ever put a gun to my head and told me to go on television and no one put a gun to my head and told me to go into comedy,” said Mercer, who will take the Sagebrush stage at 7:30 p.m. “If you’re lucky enough to make a living doing either of those things, sometimes people have a pre-conception about you.” Most of Mercer’s encounters with fans are amicable. He joked there are other Canadian celebrities who have it tougher than him when it comes to expectations. “I’m sure people do expect Don Cherry to launch into a three-min-

ute rant about something to do with hockey or visors or something, but they don’t seem to have that expectation of me,” Mercer said. Much of Mercer’s act — including what Kamloops residents will see on Saturday — comes from his interactions with regular-Joe Canadian people.

“I get to hang out with the people who live and work in whatever town I happen to be in,” Mercer said. “I think it’s given me a pretty good idea of how this country works and I rant about that.” So, if you see Mercer sipping on a latté at a Victoria Street café before the show,

feel free to approach him — he might be looking for new material. “I think it’s disingenuous of anyone to go into a field like I’m in and then complain about being well known,” Mercer said. “I go on TV every week, but it’s a free country. I don’t have to. I’m happy to.”

Pride swells in the kitchen — and it’s not dinner

DARCIE HOSSACK Bon APPÉTIT

T BEGAN 15 YEARS AGO WITH A TALLOW SCULPTURE OF AN ELK. Next came impossibly and increasingly intricate terrines. Micro-vegetables, meticulously trimmed, hand-turned and blanched into colourful carbon copies of one another. There were quail legs and squid bodies, stuffed with precision and symmetry so exacting that each slice looked as though it had been fashioned by a lunatic savant; institutionalized, denied paint and brushes, but allowed to play with his food. This, however, was a different, previously unheard of, kind of madness than the sorts that lead to involuntary medical holds and ears in envelopes. These were the early signs of an affliction that is all passion and no pathology. My husband, you see, after being introduced to competitive cooking back in culinary school — and then again as an apprentice — had fallen hopelessly in love with Show Food. In show season, after 10-hour shifts in the kitchen, therefore, he might spend 10 more in the show kitchen, alongside other cooks, likewise afflicted. There were days without nights. Weeks without ends. Grocery bills and nothing to eat.

Then, when it came time to be judged, he would pin his food art into styro containers (in the manner of an eccentric butterfly collector), and scrunch, along with his fellow lunatics, into two too-small cars, with their knife rolls and a bucket of show-quality gelatin. They’d traverse ice-covered, avalanche-endangered, white-outed February highways to Vancouver, Victoria, Saskatoon, Edmonton or Regina, with not enough sleep between them all to make a single wide-eyed driver. They’d collect all the prizes, leave a wake of disgruntled other competitors and return home to start again. Some years passed this way. Then, it happened. Apprenticeship was rewarded with a Red

Seal and steps up the kitchen ladder. Husband became Chefhusband. And, after all those uncounted hours, all those groceries, the concept-and-development, after trial and error, travel and trophies, there came a (proverbial) knock at the door. It was nearly 2002. Our provincial team was scouting show foodies to compete in Luxembourg that October. Would Chefhusband, they asked, like to present some ideas? Oui. Now, it must be said, as un-shut-upably proud as I was in this moment, I was, and am, an emotional eater, and a wife much smitten with her husband. So, it happened, in the solitude that followed, I became prone to sculpting mashed

potatoes into castles with gravy moats and pea-eyed moat monsters (symptomatic of a more textbook kind of madness). I also became a pathological baker, turning out trays and pans of cookies and brownies, cakes and squares, enough to fatten an entire block. For Chefhusband, there were practice trips to Vancouver. Our groceries became ever more exotic, yet we ate ever more macaroni (and cookies, brownies, cakes and squares — anything that began with a pound of butter). When October came, the team jetted off to Europe, netting a gold medal and fourth place international finish. The end — except not. Six years later, Chefhusband stepped into a management

role with the team and accompanied them to Germany’s Culinary Olympics. This autumn, he’s doing it again. Already in charge of developing and designing the kitchens, and restaurant and banquet concepts, for the Kelowna Yacht Club’s upcoming new build, Chefhusband has resumed his management role with Team B.C. and they are Germany-bound. Now, it has to be said — I’m un-shutup-ably proud. But, until it’s over, I’m going to need a lot more butter.

TRAVEL

Walking the walk — a 25-year hike in Wales frozen from the earlier cloudburst. Instead we fell onto a rock wall and asked an elderly Welshmen to take our picture. The photo shows two grinning and happily married walkers, proving I was right all along — walking Offa’s Dyke Path is just like being married. A piece of cake.

By Colleen Friesen SPECIAL TO KTW travelwriterstales.com

OESN’T A PATH SOUND LOVELY? Something you skip along to grandma’s house, past little flowery-fenced cottages in dollhouse villages. And, if that lovely path is in Wales — just a wee bit of a place tucked into that Not-So-United Kingdom — wouldn’t it be fair to believe it would all be rather diminutive? So, when my husband suggested we walk Offa’s Dyke Path in Wales for our 25th wedding anniversary, I jumped at the plan. We would stroll through the softly rolling hills, stopping for tea and waving to a sheep or two. We looked up the strange name. Offa was the king of what was then called Mercia from 757 to 796 AD. Some historians speculate he built the huge and very long earthen rampart to keep the English out. Yes, well . . . I saw us skipping hand-in-hand along that curving path as we followed Offa’s old eroding boundary. Tra la la la la. Sure, the path was almost 300 kilometres long, but we had booked 13 days to walk it. The Welsh company, Drover Holidays, would take care of all our lodgings, delivering our bags each day and promised us we would be sent off with a packed lunch after every morning’s breakfast. It had even sourced walking sticks from a company in Hay-OnWye. It would be a walk in the park. Knowing now what I didn’t know then? Well, suffice to say that, 25 years ago, I believed marriage would be a piece of cake. It started off bet-

ter than I could have imagined. Our 17th-century storybook hotel in the village of Chepstow had listing floors with windows that looked out at a crumbling castle built in 1067 AD. We ate local lamb and toasted our clever anniversary plan with a fine syrah. The next day, I found it harder to remember our smugness; it seemed to dwindle in direct proportion to my pounding feet. The unexpected sunny weather didn’t help. By the 20th kilometre, my thick woolen socks had completed the baking of my flattened soles. Not to worry. Soon, all I could think of was the stabbing pain in my left ankle — which was about the same time Kevin’s knees began to seize. We looked like Frankensteins. At the next chemist store, we bought sports tape, knee braces and jumbo-sized bottles of anti-inflammatories; continuing to drag ourselves up the sides of hills like we were climbing dirt ladders and then staggering down the other

side, only to go up and down, again and again. But, each night found us in fabulous accommodations, tucking in to local food and cozy rooms and praying for the restorative effects of a good sleep. Each day, we discovered stunning new terrain. Some mornings, we stood on mountains looking down at tiny towns we had left far behind. Other days were filled with purple fields of heather that stretched off into a hazy mauve distance. There were deep green woods and flashing rivers and then, miles of sheepfilled meadows, curious cows and even a trail through the corn. We climbed countless stiles and smooched our way through dozens of kissing gates. Then, the leftovers of Hurricane Katia rushed across the Atlantic in a concerted effort to try to smash us into those beautiful mountains. Jabbing my walking sticks with every step was the only way to not get tossed right off the trail. Somehow, between the adrenaline, endor-

phins and handfuls of ibuprofen, we made it. Thirteen knackering days later, after pulverizing our knees for seven to 10 hours each day, while being buffeted by crazy winds and just after being soaked by an epic cloud-burst, we staggered down a steep, slippery embankment into the town of

MOTHER’S DAY

Here’s how to help mom nurture herself Mothers are so busy taking care of everyone else in the family, they often put themselves last on the list. Here are some simple ideas to help busy moms nurture themselves and keep that inner spark glowing.

Diet and exercise Moms who eat right and get enough sleep experience greater levels of energy, lower levels of stress and increased selfesteem. In fact, some forms of exercise can be fun to do with your kids, so everyone can benefit.

Home spa Moms deserve pampering, but don’t always have the time or budget to get away for some spa time. Turning your bathroom into a home spa can help you enjoy the relaxation and beauty benefits of a sublime soak.

Pursue hobbies As a mother, you use your creativity when you play make-believe games or do projects with your children. But, a few hours of pure creative engagement (think art class, photography or a pottery workshop) apart from your family can recharge your batteries.

Volunteer Volunteering is another way to nurture your interests and connect you with other people. This is especially important for stay-athome moms. Find a cause you’re passionate about or get involved with a local organization like Christian Children’s Fund of Canada (ccfcanada.ca) and help improve the lives of children and mothers living in poverty around the world.

Build your support network Who’s on your speed dial? Develop a set of close connections you can depend on in a pinch — and know that you would do the same for them. As a mom, it’s important to have balance in your life. Taking care of yourself will not only give you time away from your loved ones to reflect and appreciate, but will add vitality and reduce stress. Your entire family will benefit.

Mother’s Day Specials

BREAKFAST • LUNCH • DINNER

S THE WOMAN IN YOUR LIFE A champion at juggling work, kids, partner and parents? Do you think she puts everyone’s needs first and hers last? Does she ensure everyone and everything is taken care of at any hour, despite not having enough hours in the day? If your answer to any of these questions is ‘yes,’ it may also be true that she doesn’t find time to pay attention to her own heart health. “Most women don’t know that heart disease and stroke is the number-one killer of women in Canada — more than all cancers combined,” says Bobbe Wood, president of the Heart and Stroke Foundation (founder of The Heart Truth awareness campaign). “Moms are so used to putting their families’ needs first that they often ignore their own warning signs and symptoms, so they are increasing their risk for heart disease and stroke.” This Mother’s Day, families can ensure their moms put themselves first by planning a full day of heart-healthy and fun activities, like these: • Start the day with a personalized message: Send a heartfelt message on a custom Mother’s Day e-card, which shares how you’re going to help mom make time for her heart — today and every day. • Serve her breakfast in bed: Mouthwatering breakfast burritos cooked in two minutes and served piping hot in bed could

be the perfect healthy start to her day. • Join her for yoga: Yoga improves circulation, keeps blood pressure levels in check, lowers the heart rate, and improves oxygen supply to the body — a great combination to help achieve better heart health. • Pamper her with a spa package: There is nothing like relaxing the mind and body to make her feel fitter and more energetic. And, a stress-free mind and body is good for heart health. • Treat her to a healthy family dinner: There are many heart-healthy, delicious recipes to choose from, including lamb stew with mini-potatoes, salmon BLT or just good-old homemade macaroni and cheese. • Encourage her to seek heart health information: Help your mother learn about prevention tips, warning signs and symptoms, and remind her to ask heart-health related questions of her doctor at her next check-up. And, yet, with mom being mom, she will continue to ensure groceries are bought, kids are fed and taken to swimming lessons, parents have taken their medication, and she has a stellar presentation for her next meeting. Show her you care on her special day by gifting her a healthy heart using e-cards, recipes and health information from thehearttruth.ca.

FAITH

Turn the other cheek, smile and forgive still works

HINK OF AN INDIVIDUAL, family member, colleague at work, neighbour or group of people who really get under your skin or rub you wrong way. They criticize you, talk behind your back, twist your words, lie about you or put you down. Take it a notch further — not only do you dislike them, but you detest them. They likely dislike you, as well. These things happen far too often and they develop in families, at workplaces, neighborhoods and even in churches that give lip service to God’s love. Can this unfortunate situation change? Maybe you live in complete harmony with everyone or your case is not that extreme.

KAREL SAMEK You Gotta Have FAITH However, you sense there are subtle animosities from some toward you. And, God forbid you have some of these kinds of resentments slowly growing in your own mind and, unless something changes, they may turn to animosity and hate. Perhaps you are not that kind of person. You love or like everyone and they feel the same way about you. But, are we honest?

Are we living in ideal world where everybody likes and loves everybody? Realistically, we do not like what everyone is, what and how they behave, do or what they stand for. It works both ways. There is a great difference between liking and loving, especially from the biblical point of view. God is love, the Bible says (1 John 4:8). God loves everyone in the world unconditionally (John 3:16), and that love’s effect is designed to bring change which the Bible calls salvation. Yet, it is true God doesn’t like — let alone love — what we are, do and how we treat each other. Our selfishness and what we do to one another grieves and hurts God immensely.

Yet, He loves us. In His first public sermon on the Mount, Jesus commanded His followers to love with His kind of love: Our enemies and those who treat us badly — treat them kindly, do them good, not retaliate against them and fight them, but wish them the best and pray for them. Jesus said this is what God is like, as He is kind and merciful to the most undeserving and evil. This picture of “our Heavenly Father” is much different from the picture well-meaning Christians over the millennia made of Him: “Do good and God will reward you, do wrong and He will zap you!” There is some truth that doing good carries many benefits and doing bad will, in time, bring its own consequences.

However, God has a much bigger picture in

mind — and so should we.

FAITH

Be kind, pray for others — you may get respect X From B13

He is in the business of changing human hearts, turning His enemies into friends. According to the apostle Paul, it is “the goodness [mercy, kindness, compassion, pity, long-suffering] of God that leads to our repentance [genuine inner change]” (Romans 2:4.) There is one effective way to get even with our enemies, though. Apostle Paul wrote about this in Romans 12:17-22: “If someone has done you wrong, do not repay him with a wrong . . . Do everything possible on your part to live in peace with everybody. Never take revenge, my friends, but instead let God’s [righteous] indignation do it. “For, the scripture says, ‘I will take revenge [administer justice at right time in right way]. I will pay back, says the Lord.” Instead, as the scripture says: “If your enemies are

hungry, feed them; if they are thirsty, give them a drink; for by doing this you will make them burn with shame.” “Do not let evil defeat you; instead, conquer evil with good.” When you start feeling resentments toward someone, have the courage to confront them, first in your heart and then in how you act. If it is a deepseated and long-term problem, go to your pastor, mature and trustworthy Christian friend or counsellor and, along with their counsel, and encouragement from God to change your heart and give you wisdom to deal with it. It may mean a session of counselling and with abusive situation resolving sessions with the one(s) you are in this painful deadlock. And, next time some people offend you, take God’s kind of revenge. Let Him deal with

it and them. He is both wise and kind. By you being kind, praying for them and when appropriate

Make a wish, Aquarius, and it will be granted. A run-in with a foe provides an opportunity to make amends and set things right.

Chin up, Pisces. Hope may have dwindled, but there’s still a chance to save a project. Give it your all, and you might just turn it around.

Spring flowers remind you of the work that has yet to be done outside and inside. Attack it one task at a time, Aries, and don’t be afraid to get others involved.
