Coroner’s jury has six recommendations Suggestions come in wake of fatal police shooting of Wilbert Bartley they were attempting to speak with Bartley about the return of a seized computer. The inquest jury delivered a list of six recommendations — five to the RCMP and one to the B.C. Coroners Service. The jury wants the RCMP to use the Bartley incident as a training tool for law enforcement “to improve and promote best practices when engaging in effective use of lethal-force training.” The jury also recommended the force install surveillance cameras in all unmarked police vehicles, have its officers complete eight hours of lethal-force or communication training each year, use mail or the phone to contact people about returning seized items and partner junior officers with senior officers. To the B.C. Coroners Service, the jury recommended all officers involved in police shootings be required to attend in-person for inquests. While Kronebusch testified at the inquest — and was peppered with questions from jurors afterward — Freeman did not.

In the mid-morning hours of commuting across Overlanders Bridge, some motorists are experiencing a 10-minute crossing, from backed-up traffic on the Summit Drive connector, to merging with West Victoria Street motorists, until finally breaking free of the bumper-to-bumper crawl at the intersection of Leigh Road and Fort Avenue. Some Tranquille Market companies say business has been affected by the closure of the Tranquille Road overpass since last week, when a semi-truck hauling an excavator damaged the span.

Damaged overpass, damaged tills By Dave Eagles STAFF REPORTER dave_eagles@kamloopsthisweek.com
For some local businesses on Tranquille Market, repairs to the damaged Tranquille Road overpass leading to the North Kamloops business district can’t be completed soon enough. Some stores contacted by KTW say sales are taking a direct hit due to the road closure. The overpass will remain closed for at least another week after it was struck on May 11 by an excavator being hauled by a semi-truck. In an attempt to help traffic access Tranquille Market without being forced north to the intersection of Tranquille Road, Fortune Drive and Eighth Street, city crews have removed left-turn restrictions for northbound vehicles at Fortune Drive and Fort Avenue. Crews have also added a controlled left-turn arrow, timed with the green light. However, for those businesses in the 100- to 400-blocks of Tranquille Road, it comes as a small consolation, as they have already seen evidence of a drop in business.
Bruno’s Cold Beer and Wine manager Tricia Bertin said the store was affected on the day of the accident. “It definitely made a difference in our sales.” Bertin said. “The warm weekend weather helped bring in lots of thirsty people, which helped, but it’s slowed things down a bit once more.” Butler Auto & RV owner Joel Butler, whose business is well-established and located just off the overpass, said the closure immediately impacted his sales in a big way. “Since last Friday afternoon [May 11], we’ve been dead. We’ve now got better deals, but we’re not getting any new business, just from our previous purchasers.” Butler remains frustrated by what he views as an unnecessarily long time to get repairs underway on the structure. Further down Tranquille Market, front-desk associate Nathan Fitch at Northbridge Hotel and Suites pointed to the street from the window of the hotel’s front desk, noting the normally busy noon-hour flow of vehicle and pedestrian traffic is now reduced to a trickle.

Throughout the two days of testimony this week at the coroner’s inquest looking into the death of Wilbert Bartley, a framed picture of the 50-year-old sat on a desk inside Courtroom 5D at the Kamloops Law Courts. The image sat facing the jury — made up of three women and two men — depicting a happy Bartley mugging for the camera. Just after 5 p.m. on Tuesday, May 15, after the jury returned with its final recommendations, Catherine Bartley clutched the framed photo of her son in her arms as she exited the courtroom. The Bartley matriarch stood looking out a fifthfloor window and held the frame tight to her chest as she broke down in tears. Wilbert Bartley was shot and killed by Kamloops RCMP Const. Clay Kronebusch on July 30, 2010, in the parking lot of a North Shore gas station. Kronebusch testified he thought Bartley was trying to run him over with a vehicle. Kronebusch fired

Scientist warns Ajax will worsen city weather STAFF REPORTER andrea@kamloopsthisweek.com
JUSTICE BY THE BOOK Kim Webster shares a fun family moment with 11-month-old daughter Justice Webster-Janicki during a recent visit to Riverside Park. The weather last weekend was fantastic and, despite a cooling trend through the middle of this week, the mercury is expected to return to the mid-20s through the Victoria Day long weekend. Dave Eagles/KTW
A former Environment Canada scientist is concerned the proposed Ajax copper and gold mine will change Kamloops’ weather for the worse if it proceeds. Robert Schemenauer spoke at city council’s Tuesday, May 15, meeting. He believes the mine will result in an increase in fog and haze and a loss of sunlight in the Tournament Capital. Schemenauer, an atmospheric physicist who has studied the effects of air pollution on soil and forests, said the large amount of water pumped into the Ajax site, combined with dust generated by the mine, will lead to more fog, which can reduce the amount of sunshine reaching the ground. That, in turn, could have negative effects on vegetation and lead to ice and snow problems on highways as roads fail to warm up in winter as they have in the past, Schemenauer said. “It’s probably going to mean a less pleasant city to live in if it’s
hazier, duller and foggier, but it also could mean it’s cooler in the mornings, for example, in Pineview Valley and upper Aberdeen,” he said. Schemenauer said it’s also not clear what would be in the dust that will enter the city from the mine site, but at other mines he’s looked at (which were not copper and gold mines) particulate has included lead, arsenic, iron and aluminum. He said city council should request a study of the chemical composition of dust created at copper and gold mines already in operation, to get a better idea of what chemicals could be spread into the surrounding area. “There’s many things we don’t know. We don’t even know the composition of the dust,” he said. “We have to begin to think and ask the right questions.” Schemenauer said he is not sure how great the weather-pattern change would be — it could be a major or a minor shift — because there isn’t enough data about what the Ajax mine would release into the air. He said most of the

effects of the mine that worry him wouldn’t be an issue if the site was more isolated, instead of being a few kilometres south of Aberdeen. “I think mining in general is fine and I think this mine is not appropriate for being in the City of Kamloops,” Schemenauer said. “I think a large, openpit mine on the upper side of the city, any city, isn’t a good idea.” Schemenauer already submitted his concerns to the Environmental Assessment Office during a public-consultation period that was conducted earlier this year. Council agreed to follow up and make sure they are questions the Ajax proponents will address as part of the application information requirements process.

Lacrosse Rattlers mourn one of their own Dave Bannister, a forward with the Kamloops Rattlers of the Thompson Okanagan Senior Lacrosse League, died of a heart attack on Tuesday, May 15. The 41-year-old was on work assignment in Kelowna when he collapsed in a hotel room.
“He was a great guy,” said Mark Jurista, the Rattlers’ captain. “Everybody liked him on the team. “He definitely fit right in.” The Rattlers cancelled their scheduled home game last night (May 16) against the Armstrong Shamrocks.
Bannister was new to the Rattlers this season, but not a new face to some of his teammates, as he spent many years on the Kelowna Raiders’ roster. He scored a goal in his final lacrosse game, a 21-9 Rattlers’ win over Vernon on Friday, May 11.

Stick ‘em up! Thanks — here’s a tip for your troubles By Tim Petruk STAFF REPORTER
tim@kamloopsthisweek.com
At least he’s a good tipper. A Kamloops man who robbed a North Thompson Valley gas station at gunpoint earlier this month gave the frightened clerk a $20 tip, according to court documents. Jesse Pete pleaded guilty on May 10 to charges of armed robbery and wearing a disguise with intent — less than a week
after being arrested by Kamloops Mounties in Rayleigh. On May 4, the 19-year-old stole his grandfather’s Ford Escort, drove north and — armed with a sawed-off antique shotgun — robbed the Barriere Esso of about $1,000. He was handed a five-year jail term after pleading guilty. Court documents state Pete, in an interview with police after his arrest, was asked if he thought about the stress the robbery might
have caused for the Barriere Esso employee. “That’s why I slipped him a twenty,” Pete replied. After the robbery, Pete said, he drove around and counted his money. He was arrested about three hours after the robbery. In addition to the five-year jail term, Pete will also be bound by a 10-year firearms prohibition once he’s released from jail.
Summer is coming — and so is an increased police presence on city roads. Starting on Friday, May 18, local Mounties will roll out their summer road-safety blitz, focusing on problem intersections and distracted drivers, in addition to the usual speed and seatbelt
ATM and another $417 cashed with a phoney cheque in Vernon. Both scams are similar to an incident in Penticton last month, in which two men claiming to be from Starbucks went door-todoor with a PIN pad, soliciting donations for charity. Police are warning wouldbe philanthropists to be careful when donating money. Anyone with information about these or similar incidents is asked to call police at 250828-3000 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477.
checks. The crackdown is slated to run all summer, with the goal of decreasing crashes and ultimately preventing injury and death. Police plan to target intersections along Columbia Street, Tranquille Road and Fortune Drive, among others.

Close vote nixes Aberdeen project By Andrea Klassen STAFF REPORTER andrea@kamloopsthisweek.com
They railed against the loss of views and privacy, the increased traffic and the renters. But, in the end it was a history of spongey lawns and basement flooding that narrowly convinced Kamloops city council to reject a rezoning application for a strata project in Aberdeen. Many of the 100-strong crowd had headed home by the time council reached its decision late Tuesday (May 15) evening — many walking out when three councillors came out in favour of rezoning the 2.2-hectare lot for multi-family use. Councillors Tina Lange, Nancy Bepple and Arjun Singh said the Van Horne Drive development provided necessary density in a neighbourhood made up of single-family homes. The 64-unit project would have included a mix of duplexes, triplexes and a four-storey apartment building on a lot zoned for church use. “We’re here today to decide on land use,” said Lange. “Is this a good piece of land for this type of development. And it is. Yes.” It was an argument those already living in lower Aberdeen had spent hours trying to rebuff. Gavin Lawrence, whose Fleming Place home is directly below the proposed development, said he was concerned about a loss of privacy. Residents in the duplexes would be able to look down into his backyard, he said.

“I am not prepared for people to be looking directly into my backyard and my bedroom window,” he said, adding a development that dense would diminish the character of the neighbourhood and cast shadows over his property for much of the year. He suggested developers eliminate the apartment building and push other units back toward Aberdeen elementary — a thought echoed many times by other residents. Peter Lee said he purchased his Farrington Court home because the Van Horne lot was not zoned for multi-family use. “We said no way, we don’t want that in our backyard,” he said, worrying about area property values. Others, like Hal Peterson, said they would be willing to see the lot developed for single-family homes. Another group of neighbours suggested moving a planned public walkway to the north face of the lot to provide a greater buffer between the strata and their houses and a less-disruptive view for properties below the lot. Glenda Carlson worried about increased traffic from the development in an area she said is already dangerous for children walking to school. Gordon Kerfoot was one of many presenters to raise concerns about the project’s effect on slope stability in an area that already grapples with water problems. Project developers have designed a system of liners and cisterns to deal with excess water, but Kerfoot said the sys-
How-To-People
tem isn’t proven and worried if it would be maintained and what would happen if it failed. Many in the area reported pools of water in their backyards, spongey lawns, frost heaves or water damage in their basements, and were concerned the existing problems would be exacerbated by the new development. This argument appeared to resonate most with council. “If I had water in my yard and my neighbours did, too, and the neighbours beside them, I’d be very worried,” said Pat Wallace, who noted she almost never votes against rezoning applications for developments. “That’s been my issue and really my only issue from the beginning.” Mayor Peter Milobar said he also had concerns about leaving a complex drainage system under the strata’s control, even if a series of maintenance and reporting restrictions were placed on the property. “If we have to layer restrictions on land use to the point where we’re acknowledging we may have to go in and fix things, that’s a concern for me,” he said. Marg Spina and Nelly Dever also cited water-related concerns, though Dever said she also thought the development could have been more sensitive to the existing neighbourhood. The rezoning failed by a vote of five to four, with Ken Christian, Bepple, Singh and Lange voting in favour and Milobar, Dever, Spina, Wallace and Donovan Cavers voting against.

MORTGAGE MATTERS Renters!! Are you ready to buy? People rent for very good reasons, and you may have many of them...but have you ever wondered if you are ready to buy? Here are a few considerations to review when deciding if you are ready to buy. 1) The Rental Market – What are the rents projected to be in the near future, how much
are you paying compared to similar rental units, what could your rental dollar do if it was put toward a mortgage payment? 2) Employment – How safe is your employment, are you committed to the work force or considering school, is your income showing signs of stability/ increase/ or decrease, are you happy with your job? 3) Happiness – Is your current home meeting all your needs today, will your needs change in the near future, can your home suit your future needs? 4) Rate Trends – Low interest rates can mean your payment dollar can go further. Taking advantage of periods with low interest rates can put you in a higher value home for the same monthly payment as a less expensive house with a higher interest rate. What are the interest rates expected to do? 5) Inventory – Perhaps most importantly...what is available for sale in your price range, in the neighbourhood you prefer and in the style of home that you desire? A premature step into something that is only second best for you and your family begs a “for sale sign” in your future. Get it right the first time. Shop the market and be prepared to take a break if what you see doesn’t make you happy. 6) Down Payment – Down payment is not always an obstacle if you are ready to buy. Some lenders will provide the downpayment as well as the money for the house. However, in most cases, lenders like to see a 5% downpayment and 1.5% closing costs. This can come from a gift from family, savings, RRSP withdrawal etc. 7) Nobody Moves Nobody Gets Hurt – Staying exactly where you are involves the least amount of work, least amount of change and least amount of money out of your pocket...in the short term. Preparing yourself for home ownership is something that can start today and gets you set up for the long term. A trip to your mortgage broker is part of that plan.

If nothing else, Kevin Krueger is a reporter’s dream
I
T’S BEEN MORE THAN a week since Kevin Krueger erupted — and it’s already gone from the news cycle. That’s unfortunate, but not surprising, since Kamloopsians are predisposed to forget some of the truly inane comments that come out of the veteran MLA’s mouth. Maybe his mother never taught him that, if you can’t say anything good about someone, don’t say anything at all. We all know Krueger gravitated to a media scrum last week with no other purpose but to dump all over his former political partner, John van Dongen, provincial NDP Leader Adrian Dix and B.C. Conservative Leader John Cummins. It’s not the first time Krueger has dumped on a colleague who disagreed with him. When Prince George-Omineca Liberal MLA Paul Nettleton criticized his government in 2002 for having a secret plan to privatize BC Hydro, Krueger — then the government whip — said his colleague was making a “cynical attempt to set himself as a crusader and get favour with supporters.” In 2004, when Surrey Liberal MLA Elayne Brenzinger left caucus and criticized then-premier Gordon Campbell, Krueger intimated she was unstable, called her a “highmaintenance” MLA who was overly ambitious. When former Liberal energy minister Bill Bennett criticized Campbell, Krueger had no qualms about not only firing the MLA from
DALE BASS Street
LEVEL cabinet, but dumping on when he spoke out, saying Bennett’s comments were false and he was “acting way outside the parameters of a person serving on a cabinet.” Earlier this year, Krueger heckled Delta South independent MLA Vicki Huntington while in the legislature, explaining afterward to reporters: “I don’t know if you read it [her speech], but comparing oranges to olives and all this ridiculous Greek stuff and the Parthenon — just like creative writing, not like parliamentary debate. “She wouldn’t stop because she has nothing to say.” Not content with confronting Huntington, Krueger turned his nastiness on Alberni-Pacific Rim NDP MLA Scott Fraser, venting more spleen. Most recently, Krueger accused van Dongen of having “delusions of grandeur,” no integrity and of being a “little man with his jealousy and his self-serving behaviour.” As for Dix, Krueger — who defended Campbell after his drunkdriving charge, saying he told his
then-leader that “we cared about him, we’d pray for him to come home and we’d work through this together” — railed about Dix forgetting to buy a SkyTrain ticket and accused him of winning the party leadership with bags full of 10-dollar bills. Last year, Krueger said Dix “shouldn’t put his head up to get it shot off — as the soldiers refer to it.” But, then, what can we expect of a man who has compared health-care workers to overpaid toilet cleaners? Who said the increasing number of people using food banks has little to do with the state of the economy? Who called a group of socialwork students from Thompson Rivers University interviewing him about his government’s policies on women’s issues “poverty pimps?” Who labelled as selfish a mom criticizing the government for cutting funding to parent-advisory councils in half? Who was in favour of a potential lease of the Coquihallla Highway to a Spanish consortium? I could go on, but you get the point. The fact Krueger has justified his heckling, baiting and bullying as part of the political game is shameful. But, my mother did teach me that old saying at the top of this column — and I really do have something good to say about our KamloopsSouth Thompson Liberal MLA. He’s a reporter’s dream. dale@kamloopsthisweek.com streetlevel.tumblr.com
Free cradle-to-grave public education would be a great idea if we could afford it. Education is expensive and, in some cases, students should be expected to pay for it. No one would quibble about the benefits of free public K-to-12 education and post-secondary school should be subsidized to guarantee a well-educated and skilled workforce. But, there may be times when free tuition doesn’t accomplish the goals set out by the citizens who have to pay for it and, after experimenting with the Education Guarantee, the B.C. government has figured this out. After four years of providing free tuition to graduated adults seeking to upgrade their high-school education, the province is now whittling down the number of courses it will offer at no charge. More specifically, the province has determined it will only pay for literacy, math and competency courses for students learning English as a second language and English 12, Biology 12, Math 11 and 12, Chemistry 11 and Physics 11. The idea is these are courses that are most sought after by students seeking to upgrade their education. Students who wish to take history, law or accounting, which could be seen more as electives than core academics, will now have to pay for them. The province has also moved to withhold partial funding unless courses are completed and, while we don’t know all the details — and there could be some costly fine print for school districts unless attention is paid to this issue — the principle is sound Taxpayers should only pay for courses that people complete. Adding English 11, Communications 11 and 12, Physics 12, and Chemistry 12 to the list of free core courses is also a good idea because they, too, are needed for university or college. But, until educators are prepared to work for free, students will have to contribute in some way to their own education.

While the city continues work on upgrading the Marigold Mile median on Columbia Street, KTW reader Jay Barlow says heads should roll at city hall for the non-decision to halt work and open all lanes on the major thoroughfare to accommodate increased traffic rerouted due to an accident on the Summit connector. “A competent person would have delayed the work to relieve traffic,” Barlow writes. “Obviously, the city does not employ such people.” Dave Eagles/KTW
Dubious decision by city at ‘Dandelion Mile’ Editor: May 15 will remain a day that will burn in the hearts of taxpayers An accident closes the Summit Drive connector, diverting all traffic from the North and South shores to Columbia Street. The city’s public-works department scheduled work for the Dandelion (Marigold) Mile, work that closed one southbound lane of Columbia just past First
Avenue. Traffic was lined up all the way to Overlanders Bridge and as far back on Columbia as Fifth Avenue. I called city hall and the public-works department, only to be told the city has a permit to close one lane of Columbia so work can be done on the Dandelion Mile. How could they predict an accident would close the connector?
A competent person would have delayed the work to relieve traffic. Obviously, the city does not employ such people. The Summit Drive connector was closed from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m. Heads should roll faster than the traffic was moving. Jay Barlow Kamloops
Clearly, the minutes of time saved are worth the risk of being hit by fast-moving vehicles of all sizes. Women in high heels trotting across the pavement, men laden with briefcases and coffees having conversations while courting death — and everything in between. And, it’s always worse in the winter, when the snow is blowing and roads are icy, for drivers and pedestrians. These people are breaking provincial and municipal traffic and by-laws but, more alarmingly, how have these seemingly intelligent and professional individuals forgotten the elementary school lessons parents, teachers and safety officers taught them? I fear that, one day soon, a city employee will be killed by an otherwise careful driver, leading to the emotional destruction of many, demand for more (and unnecessary) traffic control in a very busy intersection and another sad, but quickly forgotten, roadside memorial under a tree in the road island maintained by the city. If anyone from the city reads this, especially someone of authority and responsibility, there is only one way to stop this — by stopping this. Laws for personal safety on the road are in place for a reason. Who best to remind the community of them than those in the employ of the community to enforce them? Yanni Giftakis Kamloops

City needs to enforce traffic laws — before someone dies Editor: Traffic awareness, municipal laws and personal safety are missing for city employees who work in the Kamloops City Hall building at First Avenue and Victoria Street. Working downtown, I often walk for business reasons or just to get some sun and fresh air, and I use the crosswalks across Lansdowne and Victoria streets at First Avenue. Most drivers are very cautious of pedestrians, but I’ve seen the occasional vehicle drive through a red light or not stop at a crosswalk. I remember the “stop, look, cross” rules of my youth as I am the best person to take my own well-being in hand. Unfortunately, if I happen to be walking in the area early in the morning, at lunch or at the end of the day, I see a number of people tempting fate by running the gauntlet of traffic on Lansdowne and Victoria at First. They jaywalk across these streets between the parking lot south of the railroad tracks and the front door of city hall and associated buildings, walking casually as though invisible crossing guards are protecting them, while traffic has to unpredictably slow down or stop abruptly. I realize that to do it safely would require these people to use one of four nearby crosswalks.

Bepple wants art at city hall By Andrea Klassen STAFF REPORTER andrea2kamloopsthisweek.com
Fine art could be on its way to city hall. The City of Kamloops is looking at hosting some of the Kamloops Art Gallery’s holdings in its buildings, at the suggestion of Coun. Nancy Bepple. Bepple said the city is a major supporter of the gallery, as well as one of its sources of funding, and showcasing some of its collection would further that partnership. “Lots of levels of government have art on display,” she said. Council voted to have staff begin talks with the gallery and report back at a future meeting.
LED lights coming High-tech streetlights will come to several neighbourhoods, after council agreed to spend $365,000 to upgrade 1,000 lights with LED and adaptive-dimming technology. While $415,000 of the project is covered by grants, the city needed to use some of its 2011 surplus to cover the rest of the costs of the upgrade. David Duckworth, the city’s public works and sustainability director, said the lights will save the city $59,000 annually in
CITY HALL power and maintenance costs. The new lights, which are hooked into the cellular network, can be dimmed remotely and, instead of having to wait for a public complaint, city technicians will be alerted when one goes out. Dimming the lights will also cut down on light pollution, but shouldn’t make much difference to pedestrians and drivers, Duckworth said. “Really you can’t even tell the difference, he said. “It’s not that noticeable. If you have adequate spacing, the dimming shouldn’t be an issue.” The city plans to donate the 1,000 old streetlights to a community in a developing nation. Duckworth said he hopes to see all the city-owned streetlights in Kamloops switched to LED technology in the future, but there’s no set timeline for when that would happen and it could depend partly on whether the city picks up more grants for further retrofits.
of more than 80 B.C. mayors in Penticton for the first B.C. Mayor’s Caucus, which runs until Friday, May 18. Speaking to media before he left, Milobar said while he thought the outcome and direction the meeting would take were “still up in the air,” the event would likely be a good place for municipal leaders to share concerns about downloading from the province and lack of localgovernment consultation. It is styled after events such as Canada’s Big City Mayor’s Conference and the European Union’s Summit of Mayors. Items on the agenda include “a new deal for B.C.’s economy” and ways to build the provincial economy.
Free buses July 1 In an effort to
increase ridership and deal with a parking shortage, Kamloops will offer free citywide bus service on Canada Day. City transportation planner Erin Felker said ongoing construction in the Lorne Street area will put parking “at a true premium” on July 1 and getting more people to use transit will cut down some of those issues. She said it’s also a good way to reach out to people who won’t otherwise try the bus system. ‘We need to promote transit and here’s a great opportunity to get people on transit, maybe for the first time,” Felker said. The free transit will cost about $3,500 in lost fares, according to city estimates. A shuttle to transport people with mobility issues from Riverside Park to the Lansdowne Village transit exchange will also be set up for the day, at a cost of $750 to the city.

Chamber ready for award nominations The Kamloops Chamber of Commerce is calling on residents to reward their favourite companies, as nominations open for this year’s Business Excellence Awards. There are 16 categories and anyone can submit a nomination. The business doesn’t have to be a member of the chamber, but must be located in the Kamloops area. Businesses that have taken top honours at the awards in the last three years can’t be re-nominated in the category in which they won previously. This year’s categories recognize green business practices, technological innovation and community service. There are also awards for retailers, manufacturers and service providers of varying sizes, as well as home-based and First Nations-owned businesses, and young entrepreneurs. A full list of categories and criteria is available online at kamloopschamber.ca/2011-awardscriteria. Nominations are open until June 30 and can be made online at kamloopschamber.ca or in person at the chamber office, 1290 West Trans-Canada Hwy., and at TD Canada Trust branches throughout the city. This year’s winners will be honoured at an awards gala on Oct. 13.
Tranquille plan heads to public hearing A land-use plan for a major housing development proposed at the site of the former Tranquille sanatorium is headed to public hearing. Kamloops city council agreed at its May 15 meeting to send an updated neighbourhood plan for the up-to 2,000-unit development to the public. Staff will also send it to nearby First Nations and the Thompson-Nicola Regional District for consultation. The plan includes
a working farm, boat launch and park, but nixes an 18-hole golf course. City planning and development manager Randy Lambright said the idea is to make the neighbourhood a sustainable community that won’t require residents to make trips into the rest of the city. Coun. Pat Wallace said she liked what she’s seen of the project. “That area had fallen virtually to rack and ruin until this developer stepped up,” she said.

Bartley family says jury ‘right on the money’ X From A1
Instead, the jury was shown a pre-recorded video of his questioning by lawyers representing the RCMP and the Coroners Service. That meant there was no opportunity to question him about his version of the events. Kamloops RCMP Staff Sgt. Grant Learned said the recommendations made to the RCMP will be considered by brass in Vancouver and Ottawa. “We respect the recommendations that the jury put forward,” he said, noting decisions about policy aren’t made at the local level. “The recommendations would have an impact on the RCMP as a whole. It’s far greater than just the Kamloops RCMP detachment.” Bartley’s family — three of whom travelled to Kamloops from Ontario for the inquest — was happy with the jury’s recommendations, but remains upset criminal charges were not laid. “I think they’re right on the money,” Wanda Doubt, Bartley’s sister, told KTW after the recommendations were read. “But, if this were a jury in a criminal trial, he’d [Kronebusch] have life in prison.” Anne Cochrane, another sister of Bartley’s, was emotional after the jury read its recommendations. “Look at her holding her son,” she said, gesturing toward her mother, still grasping tight the framed photo. “All the recommendations in the world don’t bring Wilbert back.”

This Kidd needs a good home Remember the Charlie Chaplin movie The Kid? The one where the tramp cared for an abandoned child? He loves the kid, cares for the kid, loses the kid, but is eventually reunited with him. Thompson Rivers University has its own Kidd looking for someone to love. This Kidd is a 10-month-old bordercollie cross, one of the many animals students in TRU’s animal-health technology program have worked with these past months as they learn to be paraprofessionals in veterinary medicine. The program brings 20 cats and 12 dogs into the building every semester to help the students work. While they spend a lot of their time
GREEN PEPPERS
CORN ON THE COB
with the students learning to be social and being trained, they also receive full health checkups, are spayed or neutered, tattooed, vaccinated and have a microchip installed. At the end of the semester, they’re put up for adoption — and, right now, Kidd’s still waiting for a home. Kidd is an active dog, loyal, playful and smart. He plays well with other dogs, but isn’t quite sure about cats yet. Teachers in the program say Kidd should be in a home that can keep up with his energy and would be interested in taking him to obedience or agility classes. The adoption fee is $50. For more information about Kidd, call 250-8285174.

The dream-home lottery with the most advantageous odds is back. Those willing to plunk down $100 will have a one in 10,000 chance of winning the Kamloops YMCAYWCA Dream Home — and chances to win an assortment of other prizes. The 2,900 squarefoot, $767,000 Tuscanstyle home is located in Sun Rivers. It has three bedrooms, three bathrooms and a den, with the master suite and living areas on the main floor. Don’t feel like climbing all those stairs? Don’t worry. The Y Dream Home comes with an elevator. The house contains five Energy Star appliances — a fridge, stove, dishwasher, washer and dryer. The kitchen comes equipped with a wine closet and there’s a fireplace out on the patio. The house has been built to green standards, boasting a platinum-
level Built Green rating. Darcy Harris, communications and funds development manager at the YMCA-YWCA, said the Y Dream Home helps support many programs the organization offers. “The Dream Home is a really important fundraiser for the Y, in the sense that it provides some base support for the programs that we run in the community that provide huge benefits to the lives of families, children and youth,” Harris said. Construction of the home was completed by the Thompson Rivers University School of Trades and Technology and the Canadian Home Builders AssociationCentral Interior. The luxury abode can be found at 3001 Visao Ct. at Sun Rivers, with an open house running until July 1. People can check it out on Saturdays and Sundays between 11 a.m. and 5 p.m. and on Wednesdays, Thursdays and Fridays between 1 p.m. and 5 p.m. The Y Dream Home Lottery tickets go for $100 a pop, but are in
Five Buying SILVER Star & Jewelry GOLD Exchange 778-470-5588 & Loan
short supply. Half of the tickets have already sold, leaving just 5,000 available, while the value packs have sold out. The draw will take place at 9 a.m. on July 9, at the home. For more information on the home and lottery, and to take a video tour of the house, go online to ydreamhome.org, where you can also buy tickets online.

Fitch said businesses closer to the damaged overpass are being impacted more than those farther north on Tranquille Market. “Our Friday and Saturday business at the bar [The Duchess] was definitely way under on our daily take,” Fitch said, noting traffic flow normally coming down Tranquille Market from the overpass is like “a mouth that is feeding businesses with people from the driveby bridge traffic. “The opportunity for these businesses to get the stop-in customer is definitely reduced.” At Yew Street and Tranquille Road, a main intersection farther north on Tranquille Market, Donut King and Coffee manager Twee Nguyen said the closure has not impacted sales. “Tuesday was very busy.” Nguyen said. “I haven’t noticed a difference at all.”

A Kamloops resident is a recipient of a 2012 provincial Child Care Award of Excellence. Linda Roth, who works at Kamloops Montessori Preschool/ Kindergarten in Aberdeen, received the honour that goes to child-care professionals, organizations and local governments that have demonstrated outstanding service to children and families. In her letter of support for Roth, Kamloops Montessori Preschool/Kindergarten director Holly Schafer wrote: “Lin is a true professional in our field. She has created wonderful relationships with her students and parents alike. “I have seen her continually advocate for children, always being a liaison with supports in our community when needed by the individual child and his/her family.”

‘You could only take what you could pack’ By Michael Potestio STAFF REPORTER
reporter@kamloopsthisweek.com
In North Kamloops, a memorial is being created to commemorate a dark period in Canadian history. Roy and Betty Inouye, directors at the Japanese Canadian Cultural Centre, along with centre members, are working on a display to commemorate the 70th anniversary of the expulsion and internment of Japanese-Canadians in B.C. during the Second World War. “You could only take what you could pack,” said Betty. “What you could carry,” added husband Roy as the couple described artifacts, including a noodle-making machine, to be used in the exhibit. “Now, why did they take a noodle machine? That’s how important it was to them,” said Betty. “Lift it,” she said to a KTW reporter. “It’s heavy. “Whatever was important to them, they took — and you think, ‘What would you carry if you had to leave and you could take whatever you could carry, that’s all?’” She said the artifacts on display are items people took with them during the expulsion in 1942. They come from the cultural centre’s members. A rice cooker, luggage, musical instruments and antique dolls are just a few of the items they have amassed so far. Last week, the provincial government formally apologized for its involvement in
the internment of Japanese-Canadians during the war. Roy said the apology has brought a certain amount of closure, but added it should be recorded in history that this event took place and that B.C. politicians adamantly wanted Japanese-Canadians out of Canada. “We shouldn’t just let it go with an apology, but there should be something done so that it’ll go down in history and remind people that something like this should never happen again,” he said. One way this could be achieved, Roy said, is to have all internment-camp sites marked, perhaps with plaques, stating what happened and why JapaneseCanadians were interned in those areas. Roy said most affected by the internment have since passed on. Most of the survivors who are alive today were young children during the war, kids who enjoyed the fact they got to miss school, meet new friends and play together. “And, some of them said they had a jolly good time,” said Roy. “But, [for] most of the people that were out in the sugarbeet fields, no, that was a different experience altogether.” Young people didn’t realize the hardships their parents went through, Roy noted. During the internment and expulsion, their parents would endure the harsh reality of losing their assets, their belongings and being unemployed. Now, 70 years later, the display to be created at 160 Vernon Ave. aims to com-
memorate and remind people of the injustices the Japanese-Canadians experienced. The exhibit is set to open in September. During the war, Roy said, it disturbed his 10-year-old ears to hear the government call all Japanese-Canadians “enemy aliens.” “And, the other thing that really hurt me was people whom I thought were friends turned against me.” Roy’s father was able to support his family by working in a sawmill he helped build in Spuzzum, the tiny Fraser Canyon community located outside the 100-mile restricted zone from the Pacific Ocean. The rest of the family was forced to leave its berry farm in Mission and was given the option of going to a B.C. internment camp or to a sugarbeet farm on the Prairies. The family chose to head east to Manitoba, but was placed in an immigration home, which Inouye described as a semi-prison type setting. When Roy’s father was unable to find work on one of the beet farms, the B.C. Security Commission rented the family a house outside of Winnipeg, where they stayed from 1942 to 1946. The experience on the Prairies, Roy said, forced him to grow up quickly. Betty was only seven when her family was relocated. Her father was a doctor and was sent to look after Japanese-Canadians in camps at Bridge River and Lillooet — and the family went with him for the duration of the war.

Moderates will win Egypt
A
FTER 11 demonstrators were killed outside the Ministry of Defence in Cairo earlier this month, Mohammad alAssaf, a member of the Supreme Council of the Armed Forces (SCAF), expressed his astonishment anybody might suspect the military of wanting to rig the forthcoming presidential elections in Egypt. “The armed forces and its Supreme Council are committed to handing over power at the scheduled time or even before June 30,” he said. State television, still controlled by supporters of the old regime, explained the people who attacked the demonstrators were local residents of the Abbassiya district who had grown sick of continued demonstrations. What could be more understandable than that? It’s so easy to imagine the men of Abbassiya spontaneously rummaging around in their houses for pistols and shotguns, determined to end the nuisance that made it almost impossible to get to the new metro station. Then they gathered at 2 a.m. in two separate groups and simultaneously charged the demonstrators from two different directions, as random mobs of disgruntled citizens so often do. Nine of the 11 dead demonstrators were killed by head shots, a sure sign amateurs were at work. Only a diedin-the-wool conspiracy theorist would suspect the attackers were the same old gang of thugsfor-hire the old regime turned to when it wanted to use deniable but lethal violence on crowds of
GWYNNE DYER World WATCH demonstrators. Oh, all right then, have it your way. The Supreme Council of the Armed Forces, which has been Egypt’s transitional government since the revolution of Feb. 11, 2011, was indeed behind the murders — or, at least, some people very close to the SCAF were. That’s why the soldiers and police watching all this did not intervene for six hours. So, the question is: What did the senior military hope to achieve by doing this? Partly, they were just being their usual clumsy, brutal selves. But, they were also defending their policy of removing all the radicals from the race. Most of the demonstrators in front of the defence ministry were protesting against the disqualification in mid-April of their presidential candidate, Sheikh Hazem Abu Ismail of the Nour Party. He was a front-runner in the presidential race, two of the others being Khairat al-Shater of the Muslim Brotherhood and the old regime’s intelligence chief, Omar Suleiman — both of whom were also disqualified. Abu Ismail was disqualified because the new parliament passed a xenophobic law demand-
ing the parents and grandparents of any candidate must be Egyptian and nothing else. The Nour Party had voted for that law — but it turned out Abu Ismail’s late mother had also taken American citizenship before she died. Or so the junta-appointed Higher Presidential Election Commission claimed, although it denied it. The result of the military’s machinations is that 10 of the 27 candidates for the presidency have been removed, including all the more extreme ones with any serious prospect of winning the election. The frontrunners among the remaining 13 are two Islamic candidates and two secular ones, none of whom could be called extremists. Mohammad Morsi of the Muslim Brotherhood, who took the place of the disqualified Khairat al-Shater, has all the charisma of a cabbage. He may even win fewer votes than Abdel Moneim Aboul Fotouh, a former Brotherhood man who is running as an independent. On the secular side is Amr Moussa, a former Egyptian foreign minister and ex-head of the Arab League, and former air force commander Ahmed Shafiq, who was briefly prime minister in the last days of the Hosni Mubarak regime. All are moderates. It’s impossible to predict who will win because the election on May 23 and May 24 will only produce two frontrunners, who will then face a run-off contest in mid-June. What can be said with confidence is the man

the armed forces finally hand power over to at the end of June will not be a radical. Disappointed? You wanted Egyptians to conduct a radical political experiment you would never want to see tried in your own country? Tough. In 1998, there was a similar non-violent democratic revolution in another big Muslim country. The dictator who was overthrown, like Mubarak, was a former general who had ruled his country for more than 20 years. The first elected president was the leader of a prominent Islamic organization, which frightened the country’s 10 per cent Christian minority. Islamic parties also gained a dominant position in the new parliament and the more excitable observers predicted national disaster. However, Indonesia today is a stable democracy with one of the world’s fastest-growing economies. Indonesia is far from perfect. The military still has enough clout to ensure defence spending stays high and the police are more corrupt than ever. But, the mainstream Islamic parties have stopped demanding Sharia law and MuslimChristian violence has practically ended. The place is a genuine but deeply imperfect democracy — like India, say, or the United States. Nobody in Indonesia wants the former dictator Suharto back, and already almost nobody in Egypt wants Mubarak back. It will get better in Egypt, though more slowly than most Egyptians hope.

Is the Mental Health Act working?
T
HIS IS MENTAL HEALTH AWARENESS Month and we have been focusing our attention on encouraging better mental health and the prevention of mental illness, rather than talking about symptoms and treatments. At the same time, the higher focus on mental health this month appears to have encouraged a number of our readers to come forward with concerns they have about mental illness and their treatments — and a theme is apparent. In several cases, people are supporting a family member with a mental illness — and there is little they can do to be heard in the system. If the patient is relatively high-functioning and can “hold it together” while with their medical practitioners, the severity of the illness and the impact of the symptoms go mostly unnoticed by the medical community. One reader told us she called, wrote and did all she could to communicate concerns and observations to her son’s medical practitioners, only to be com-
pletely ignored — not mostly ignored. Phone messages were never returned, calls were never put through to the physician and letters went unanswered. It may be a growing concern that, with our privacy legislation and the desire of the Mental Health Act to empower people with mental illness in their own treatment, the system has disempowered families and supports that assist the patient in getting and staying well the other six days and 23 hours of the week they are not spending with a mental-health clinician. Has the pendulum swung too far? Are the systemic attempts to provide patients with more control to better mental health having the opposite effect? Based on the number of people in our area who are concerned about the growing number of headline cases in this community, people are wondering if those with mental illness are getting

the attention and treatment they need. They ask us about slow diagnoses and treatments, about an ineffective system and about why doctors and police can’t do more to prevent these high-profile incidents that come with mental illness attached to them in the media. We have always defended our psychiatric services and the RCMP in Kamloops as being among the most progressive and supportive of mentally ill cases in the province. At the same time,
is such that we need to work with government and health practitioners to adjust regulations, policy and even legislation where it is evident it is not protecting the public or the patient. We hope we can help policy makers, treatment personnel and law enforcement learn more, even though we know they are already doing a great deal. Thank you to the many hurting parents, siblings, spouses, friends and co-workers who have shared your concerns with us.

incidents like the assault on Bishop David Monroe, the conviction of Allan Schoenborn for the murder of his three children, the Taser death of Robert Dziekanski in the Vancouver Airport, and, most recently, the second-degree murder charge laid against Jaipreet Singh Toor for the stabbing death of his father in March all point to a problem.

TRISHA MARIE MOFFATT 1976 – 2012 It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of our beloved daughter Trisha Marie Moffatt. Trisha was born on March 10,1976 at the Royal Inland Hospital in Kamloops, BC. She has left us on May 13, 2012 to be with her Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ.

She is survived and missed by her parents Bruce and Darlene Moffatt, sister Coralea (Ron) Saunders, niece Jaime Saunders, Grandfather Ray Stratton, Grandmother Ruth Moffatt, numerous aunts, uncles and cousins but mostly by her beloved dog Tess. Trisha battled with Juvenile Rheumatoid Arthritis since she was eight years old. She had some of the best physicians in the field of arthritis who had worked with her trying to find a drug or treatment that would give her relief from chronic pain and allow her to have a pain free existence. Through out the years there were some months where she had some relief but it was always there. Trisha graduated from Kam-Hi in 1994. She enjoyed music and singing through out her high school years and also developed a great love for photography. Over the years Trisha worked in many different fields. She worked for Erwin’s Bakery, Canadian Airlines, RCMP Dispatch, The Arthritis Society, Kamloops Surgical Center and most recently Royal Lepage in Kamloops. Trisha also had taken on working for Avon and enjoyed the one on one with her “special” clients and fellow representatives. The family would like to thank the many physicians that worked with her to try and give her a better life. Also a special thanks to our family and friends who have helped us during this difficult time.

HE INJURY bug can really start to get on a guy’s nerves. Just ask Scott Nabata, who will compete in the junior men’s high-performance category at the Canadian gymnastics championships in Regina next week. “When I broke my finger the first time, it was like, ‘OK, stuff happens, it’s alright,” said Nabata, 16, who trains at Kamloops Gymnastics Trampoline Centre (KGTC).
“A couple days after I came back, I broke my hand and then I was like, ‘OK, this is not going well right now. I’m really mad.” The high-flying gymnast has the right to be angry. Nabata broke his back (T12, L1 and L2 vertebrae) two years ago, then his finger and hand earlier this year. Shortly after returning from the broken hand, he sprained his ankle, which turned out to be the injury that cost him the most time away from training, broken back included. The ankle sprain happened in February,

Nabata said he would like to earn a top-five all-around finish in Regina to close out his junior career. “These years, 16, 17, 18, are when everything changes,” he said. “It’s either you get really good or you can stay at the same level.

World U17 Challenge By Marty Hastings SPORTS REPORTER
sports@kamloopsthisweek.com
Kamloops is in the running for the 2014 World Under-17 Hockey Challenge. “We think, from a hockey standpoint and being a hockey town, this is a fantastic opportunity to bring this level of hockey to Kamloops,� said Jon Pankuch, chair of the Kamloops bid
committee, which submitted its proposal to Hockey Canada about two months ago. “We’re working very closely with the city and we’ve got a great supporting cast of people to get this bid to be No. 1.� Hockey Canada has not yet confirmed which cities are competing for the tournament, but it’s rumoured Abbotsford, Sydney, N.S., and
Kamloops are in the running. The tournament is comprised of 10 teams in two divisions, five teams from Canadian regions — Pacific, West, Ontario, Quebec and Atlantic — and five international teams. The U.S., Finland, Russia, Germany, Slovakia, Sweden and the Czech Republic have participated at the tour-
ney in the past. Pankuch, the president of the Kamloops Minor Hockey Association and a local Tim Hortons store owner, was not sure when the winning bid would be announced, but said on Wednesday (May 16) it might happen within the next 30 days. “This would be good for the economy and the city,� Pankuch said.

Rattlers undefeated The Kamloops Rattlers 1 are still unbeaten at 6-0 after weekend play in the Thompson Okanagan
novice lacrosse league. The Rattlers picked up a weekend victory over a shorthanded Nicola Valley team in Merritt on Saturday, May 12.

The highlight of the day for Kamloops was a pair of goals by Izaak Hart — his first-ever lacrosse goals in three years of play. Ethan Hardy, Landon Kinney, Noah Bradley, Trey Dergousoff, Jarrod Semchuk, Harrison Ewert, Kaden Giles and Mason Swanton also tallied, with Reed Watson in the Rattlers’ net. Dergousoff was awarded the hardest-

It’s just another Saturday night By Dale Bass STAFF REPORTER dale@kamloopsthisweek.com
Before there was ever Andrew Lloyd Weber or Tim Rice, there was Stephen Sondheim. Described by the New York Times once as “the greatest and perhaps best-known artist working in musical theatre,” the multiple-award-winning composer created some amazing works: Sweeney Todd, A Little Night Music, Into The Woods — and Marry Me A Little. The two-person musical is the final production of the season for B.C. Living Arts (BCLA). Starring Sheanna James and Frederick Robert, it’s the story of two apartment-dwellers, one unit directly above the other, on a Saturday night.
Throughout the evening, they start fantasizing about relationships, said BCLA artistic director Alan Corbishley. Their separate apartments become one, they interact, confront emotional conflicts, dream and fantasize, all to some Sondheim’s music that was originally written for other shows but never used. The set list includes music written for Follies, A Funny Thing Happened On the Way to the Forum, Saturday Night and A Little Night Music. Together the songs take the audience from the beginning of Saturday Night through to the realization, courtesy of songs originally destined for Follies, that It Wasn’t Meant to Happen. Or has it? X See SONDHEIM B4
Frederic Robert and Sheanna James star in Marry Me A Little, being presented at the Black Box Theatre at Thompson Rivers University. The play opens tonight (May 17) and continues to Sunday, May 20. George Wycherley photos/KTW

There are a couple of people out there somewhere who may never know how they inspired Paul Filek. They’d likely be stunned, to be honest, because one threw pennies at him during a performance and another floated a paper airplane, with a $5 bill attached, up on stage. Opened up, the airplane had a simple message: Please stop. “Most of the feedback I get is positive,” said Kamloops-born, Vancouver-base singersongwriter Filek. “But, sometimes you get something else. “So, I kept the money and it went
toward the album.” He’s now touring to promote his five-song EP, Paper Planes and Small Change, and will be at The Blue Grotto on Thursday, May 31. Opening for him will be another Vancouverbased performer, David Blair. Filek said the EP “was a long time coming.” He had hoped to have it out last year but, for a variety of reasons, didn’t make it into the studio to finish recording until earlier this year. Longtime Filek fans may find a different sound from the man known best, perhaps, for such songs as ToeTapping Love Song and My Mom Thinks I’m Cool, may find the new
release a bit different. “It’s a bit more poppy and commercial,” Filek said of the EP. He wrote all of the songs, some with cowriters. Since he left Kamloops a few years ago to make music his full-time career, Filek’s criss-crossed the country, built up a strong fan base in many locations — but he’s also had some down times. “You never want to but sometimes you have to take some time,” he
said. Despite the occasional struggles, it was the right decision, he said. “Oh heck, yeah. It’s been awesome. It’s crazy. “You know, I just keep thinking that if you want something, you just keep reaching. “And, it is so rewarding and amazing.” For more information on Filek, go online to paulfilek.com.

Heartburn Reflux
AT THE GALLERIES
By Dr. Chakib Hammoud, M.H.,PhD.
The USDA now recommends to eat 50% alkaline food (vegetables, legumes, salads, fruit). Health professionals suggest 80% alkaline food. Unfortunately, North American people eat 90% acidic food (meat, pasta, rice, bread, pastries, sweets, junk food). If you cannot change your diet to USDA’s 50% or closer to 80% alkaline food, consider to supplement with a natural health product that helps to increase your pH alkaline level close to a healthy #7. Ask for Bell Acidic Stomach/Alkaline Balance #39. It’s inexpensive, has no side effects and may eliminate the need for anti-acid pills many people take. As a bonus, an alkaline balanced body prevents many illnesses. See guarantee printed on box.

A tale of birds and broth and veggie burgers DARCIE HOSSACK Bon APPÉTIT Day 1: Today is the day — the day I stop believing the dryer shrunk my favourite jeans. The day I accept that banana bread is actually cake. The day I stop blaming my job for leading me into temptation. And, so, because wherever five or six pounds are allowed to gather, another 10 will quickly follow, I measure one-third cup of oatmeal into a bowl. I add water and microwave for 95 seconds (who’d get out a pot for so little?). I stir, add another 30 seconds, add a pinch of brown sugar and a drip of milk. And, that is breakfast. Exactly as sad as it sounds. Day 2: After another thimble of oatmeal, I spend much of the morning hungry, crabby and redacting an old library of Weight Watchers’ program books from the late 1990s. To begin, I draw
the nib of a thick black marker through cooked beaver, carob and non-fat cheese. I say no to chicken liver, melba toast, opossum and popcorn of any kind. No, also, to brown bear, raccoon, opossum, squirrel, tripe
and coffee substitute. Day 3: By lunch, I’m almost too weakened by despair to lift the high-fibre loaf of bread from the fridge, but I manage to pile sprouts onto one toasted slice (fibrous as asphalt shingles) and spread the other with
an invisible schmear of cream cheese. I add cucumber and tomato, sprinkle it all with flaked kosher salt, chew until my jaw hurts, then resume my workday with an anguished growl in my stomach. By suppertime, I
stare morosely into a custard cup of pasta with marinara and three shreds of cheese, then retreat upstairs to weep. Weeping, I estimate, is worth 20 minutes of jogging, so I check the exercise box on my chart and go to

There are days when comfort food is vital X From B9
It’s not the juicy beef burger, topped with melting cheese, fullfat mayo and smokey bacon that interrupted last night’s dreams. But, it is near enough to the craving to quiet the voice in my head: The madwoman in the attic who’s begun to speak of sabotage. Day 6: Today, I begin to think long term. All the way into next week. Which means I need something in the fridge that is as close to guiltfree and as close to satisfying as possible. Day 7: Today is the day. I’m in the kitchen and on the simmer is a pot of miso soup. The broth began as dried, fermented, smoked shavings of skipjack tuna. And, into the broth went seaweed, miso paste, tofu and scallions. Miso soup, though I’m unmoved by its ingredients, is nevertheless my “chicken noodle.” The soup I reach for when sick or sad. And, if my favourite jeans don’t fit soon, I’m

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.

HOME & GARDEN
Before you roll out the wallet, think about what household projects are likely to provide the best return on your investment. There are myriad outdoor home improvements, but some provide better resale value for your home than others. Be sure to invest your time, money and resources in a project that is going pay back when it comes time to sell your home: 1. Build a deck or patio. This project not only adds visual interest to the exterior of your home, it also gives you a chance to enjoy your outdoor living space to the fullest. During the spring and summer, patios are spaces for entertaining guests, barbecuing and leisure time. Whatever your motivation, building a deck or patio will encourage you and your family to get outside and enjoy summer. 2. Install a sprinkler system. On average, homeowners use 50 per cent more water than necessary on their lawns. Automatic lawn -sprinkler systems are designed with busy homeowner lifestyles in mind. Installing a sprinkler system allows proper irrigation through timing and even water distribution. Although initial installation can be pricey, you may end up saving money in the long-term. 3. Landscape your yard. Landscaping is the simplest way to add visual interest to your outdoor living space. Whether through gardening, building a pond or installing a fence, landscaping is a sure way to create a return on your investment. However, you should always elicit the guidance of a trained professional before tackling a landscaping project. If you are looking to sell your home or simply enjoy it more, use the summer to make exterior improvements. More summer home improvement ideas can be found online at royallepage.ca.

HOME & GARDEN
Create your own
Veggie Village Whether you have a large plot or just a postage stamp, planting an edible garden is a deliciously rewarding culinary adventure that will have the whole family asking for seconds. Save yourself a trip to the produce aisle with these tasty ideas from the experts at The Home Depot’s Garden Centre: • Planting for taste and more: There is nothing like going out to the garden for dinner — whether it’s for a few lettuce leaves, a cucumber or a handful of cherry tomatoes to toss into a salad. Growing local and savouring the fresh flavour of fully ripened fruits and vegetables is rewarding and something the kids will definitely enjoy. Go ahead and explore your local nursery for edible options that will add variety to your garden and dinner table. • Planting for looks: You can have your garden and eat it, too, by incorporating edible plants into your ornamental landscaping. Flowers like red bee balm, roses (petals only), pansies and chamomile can be used in

beds to add delectable colour — just make sure to confirm edibility with your local garden centre. Berry bushes like raspberry and blueberry can also work as hedges and ground cover. And, don’t forget the greens — kale cabbage and herbs add texture and taste to pathways and decorative urns. • Planting for size: For a small garden that produces a lot, try planting beans, peas, Swiss chard, a variety of tomatoes and lettuce mixes. These can be potted in a container on a balcony or in a small green space in the front or backyard. If you have more space, squash, pumpkin, cucumber, zucchini, carrots and leeks are good options that need a bit of room to grow. And, if you plan to stay in your home or tend an allotment garden for a few years, edible perennials such as asparagus, rhubarb and strawberries will deliver every year.

RECYCLING
Done with the device? Recycle it! Getting a new cellphone probably means saying goodbye to your old one. A recent survey found that many Canadians (43 per cent) will store their old cellphone because they are unsure of how to easily and safely dispose of it. The wireless industry is working to make sure there is a green solution. Recycle My Cell is a free national program that lets users find out where and how to properly dispose of their cell phones and other wireless devices. The program, which incorporates numerous recycling initiatives across the country, is organized by the Canadian Wireless Telecommunications Association in conjunction with cellphone carriers, handset manufacturers and processors. Since the online launch of recyclemycell.ca in 2009, more than 875,000 cellphones have been recovered across the country. Many different items are accepted
Lorne Street Bottle Depot
for recycling, including smartphones, pagers, wireless air cards, batteries and accessories. Surprisingly, approximately 96 per cent of a typical cellphone is recyclable. All phones recovered are recycled or refurbished appropriately and in accordance with international e-waste laws. The website allows consumers to simply enter their postal code to find the drop-off location closest to them where their devices will be accepted, regardless of brand or condition. With more than 3,500 locations across Canada, most neighbourhoods will have one, but if you are unable to visit a drop-off location in person, the program provides free postagepaid labels to use for mailing. In addition, recycling your old phone helps numerous national and local charities who benefit either from direct re-use of phones, or from sales of recyclable parts and materials. newscanada.com

long weekend. Sites with substantial remaining reservable campsites are Gladstone, Green Lake, Red Bluff, Strathcona, Wells Gray and Wasa Lake provincial parks. To see which campsites are still available, go online to discovercamping.ca. The most popular parks are Haynes Point, Bear Creek, Rathtrevor Beach and Okanagan Lake South. If you want to visit a park, but there is no reservable space left, check out the first-come, first-served availability tool on the Discover Camping website. For the 2012 season, campsites in 95 BC Parks can be reserved. Also new this year is the ability to make up to three reservations in one transaction. Parking is now free in BC Parks. “When you see these kinds of numbers with BC Parks reservations, I think that speaks to the quality experience peo-
ple have come to expect in our parks,” Lake said. “We continue to provide British Columbians with the best value and lots of options for outdoor fun.”
Park facts: • In 2011, enhancements to the reservation system included adding group camp and picnic sites, the Bowron Lake Canoe Circuit and the Mount Robson Berg Lake Trail. • In 2011, BC Parks brought in a new Smartphone application that allows campers to make, change and cancel a reservation while on the road. • Even though the Smartphone interface was developed for ease of access while on the road, you do not need a Smartphone or Android to access the mobile system. You can use any computer. More information is available online at www.env.gov.bc.ca/ bcparks/things_to_ do.html.

TRAVEL
Enjoying a day of sights in regal Seville By Rick Millikan SPECIAL TO KTW travelwriterstales.com
Leaving Cadiz aboard a motor coach with fellow shipmates, guide Maria confirms our keen interest in exploring Spain’s fourth-largest city. “Seville best represents Iberian culture and sophistication. It’s a pleasure to share a slice of its rich history with you! “We’re now passing through Europe’s most ancient city,” she notes. “Phoenicians founded Cadiz in 1100 BC, then producing highly prized royal purple dye extracted from sea snails. “Hannibal later made it his headquarters when conquering Iberia. “The Romans ultimately defeated him, making Cadiz their naval base.” Over 1,000 years later, Christopher Columbus launched his second and third voyages to the New World from Cadiz, which became homeport for Spanish treasure fleets. The countryside outside Cadiz proves to be a golden, blue-skied province dotted with red-roofed farmhouses. Its dry terrain supports flocks of sheep grazing on barren hillsides and unexpected cotton fields blooming amid olive groves and vineyards. Crossing a new bridge over Seville’s famed Guadalquivir River, our coach crawls through modern traffic into the historic heart of the city. Here, Maria leads us through narrow winding streets to the first of two palaces. Casa de Pilatos is said to be a copy of Pontius Pilate’s Palace in Jerusalem. Completed in 1540, it features walled gardens and lovely tile-floored courtyards typical of many Mediterranean homes. Surrounded by jasmine and orange trees, their blossoms infuse adjoining rooms with sweet perfume and natural light.
Plaza Espana Sevilla, built for the 1992 World Expo, represents Seville’s enduring charm. Chris Millikan photo
This royal mansion reflects the Mudejar style found in the Alhambra: Lavish moulded-stucco borders and arched Arabic doorways and windows. Lustrous, floralinspired ceramic tiles, ‘azulejos’ embellish the walls. Our walk resumes toward Lebrija Palace. Its distinguished history began only a century ago, when the Countess of Lebrija restored this family mansion in an extraordinary fashion. Greatly interested in archaeology, this learned Sevillian woman became involved in fortuitous discoveries in a nearby grove of olive trees adjacent to the Roman ruins of Italica. She moved these treasured pieces to her palace and rebuilt rooms to accommodate these mosaics, statuary and other archaeological artifacts. We feel like we’ve been transported to a Roman villa. Outside, our group gathers around an hombre roasting hazelnuts. We snack on these aromatic treats from small paper cones and proceed further into the old city. In a refurbished shopping area, a heritage bakery presents cornucopias of tasty looking pastries. As the centre of Spain’s Flamenco dancing, many shops display brightly coloured,
ruffled, bodacious and bodily curvaceous dresses. Entering a rustic tapas bar, we relax around small wooden tables covered with redcheckered clothes. Setting small dishes before us, waiters begin serving traditional tapas: Platters of regional cheese, sausage, slices of baguettes, olives, sauteed potatoes, roast bull’s tail, famed paella and creamy flan. Sipping Spain’s robust red rioja wines, we savour every bite.
Our tour proceeds through the huge plaza of the world’s largest gothic church. Initially a mosque constructed upon an existing Roman foundation, builders used its columns and other elements to construct Seville Cathedral, converting its former minaret into the iconic Giralda bellower. Today, we simply take in its soaring beauty and enjoy the haunting arpeggios of the classic Spanish Romance played exqui-
sitely by a guitarist seated in the shade of a flying buttress. On a former trip, we had entered this cathedral and admired its lavishly decorated interior that included a vast carved retablo depicting scenes from Christ’s life and the sculpted

Many of us remember Seville’s 1992 Expo, celebrating the 500th anniversary of Columbus’s first voyage. After a short bus ride, our day in regal splendour concludes ambling through its monumental Plaza de España, where we delight in the modernista architecture of the Spanish Pavilion. Designed in early 20th-century style, this immense public palace displays each region’s past glories with arrays of tile work. Filled with intriguing history and sensuality, Seville is well worth a day of exploration.

tomb of Christopher Columbus. On that same past venture, we visited the nearby Alcazar. With King Carlos IV in residence, today this famed royal Andalusian palace is closed to the public. Yet, we recall its extraordinary Mudejar artisanship and Navigators’ Chapel, where La Virgen de los Mareantes hangs. This memorable painting depicts the Virgin Mary blessing a golden-caped Columbus and his brother, Pinzon. Strolling onward through Santa Cruz Quarter — the old Jewish sector — Maria points out two monuments in this labyrinth of alleyways: The ancient comedy playhouse and splendid ironwork cross standing above buried ashes of famed 17th-century baroque painter Murillo.

FAITH
The role of ‘salt’ in the promised land N MATTHEW 5:13, JESUS SAID SOMETHING VERY POWERFUL THAT IS SOMETIMES LOST IN FAMILIARITY: “YOU ARE THE SALT OF THE EARTH.” Christians have been hearing that since they were children, but I am not sure we really take it seriously. I think we have been duped! We are getting trampled a lot and we don’t know why. I must confess I am a news buff and read the paper every day. First, I read the front page, then the local news and then the rest. The newspaper can be to a Christian what a fishing report is to a fisherman. Some just like to go out and throw a line in the water — but, not so
I
NARAYAN MITRA You Gotta Have FAITH my friend Arthur. From the daily fishing reports, he wants to know where the fish are biting and what time of the day. You see, Art is a catcher, not just a fisher. The newspaper can be a “fishing report” for the Christian. It tells us where people are biting and for what they hunger. Our problem is that we, as believers, are not relevant. We’ll go, throw a pimento cheese sandwich
in the water and then wonder why the fish don’t bite. The other day, I was reading an article about the alarming rise in the number of gangs in inner cities. There was something about poor education and how SAT scores keep going down among students — and no one knows how to correct the problem. There was talk of partisan politics and how we don’t have statesmen any more who care about the country, just their parties. In general, I could sum up the news that day by saying our society is in a system failure. The economic and political systems are all failing, leading to a rotten society. Ever since the fall of man in Eden, society has an inherent bacteria that causes it to rot.
When man sinned, sin became inherent in society. If we put a piece of meat on our doorsteps on a hot day, none of us would be surprised to find it had spoiled. Yet, it seems to be a shocker when our society rots for lack of salt to preserve it. We don’t have to be in the majority to preserve society. An elderly man once told me that it takes only five pounds of salt to preserve 100 pounds of meat. If we would just get involved, it would surely help preserve society for good. There is also an escapism mentality prevalent. This type of mentality says: “Jesus is going to come back before we can change things anyway. So, let’s just let things get
worse, so He can return quickly.” In other words, this teaching of basic dispensationalism would have the physical world operate on its own, get all the salt together and put it in a saltshaker. Then, as soon as the world rots, Jesus will take the “salt” out of here. That doesn’t make a great deal of sense, does it? The church has bought a lie when it bought into this escapism mentality that says we are to sit back in our own little conclaves and let the world go to hell. This is not what God sent His Son to do or put the church here to do. This mentality has produced a generation that does not know how to raise kids, handle money or affect society. They just wait for
Jesus to come back. It hasn’t been a very smart way to look at things. We can never become the salt of the earth until we overcome the obstacles and become true disciples. We must help each other reach that goal. To truly disciple you, I must first help you hear God. I cannot give you the ability to hear God; that’s something God has already done. He said: “My sheep hear my voice.” If you are a Christian, you can hear Him. There may be some obstacles and I may be able to coach you in different ways to help you hear Him. After we learn to hear God, we can find out what to do on our own. We are not supposed to go to church to hear
some pastor tell us what God said for us to do. We’re supposed to hear God for ourselves. Individually and corporately, we need to renounce the victimization mentality forever. We are not here to survive, we are here to preserve. Jesus said to occupy till He returns. Greater is He that is in you than he that is in the world. Get involved where you are. Sometimes we get these big grandiose ideas. But, if we just start where we are and talk to one person, it won’t stop there. That`s the Kingdom principle. God has already dropped a blueprint in our heart. Get involved and become the salt of the earth.
