HE ONLY BOOKS WERE the ones on the shelves — and they weren’t being used. As Lynda Hall’s Grade 8 English class roamed around the J.P. Library at South Kamloops secondary on Tuesday, May 29, learning about poetic devices, the real lesson might have been in the devices the students were using. The class broke down into groups of two or three and were given school tablet computers. With them, they snapped pictures of QR codes — those high-tech square barcodes popping up on everything from billboards to business cards —
each of which was attached to a question. For instance: “What is a metaphor using ‘like’ or ‘as’?” The student writes down what she thinks is the answer, holds her tablet up to the QR code and the answer is read aloud over the device’s internal speaker: “Simile.” A stick of chalk might as well be a chisel. Hall said the students are embracing the technology. “They think it’s the best thing ever,” she said. One of those students is Emily Youd. “I think it’s fun,” the 13-year-old said. “It’s a new, fun way to learn.” Youd said she would describe herself as “technologically savvy,” but Tuesday’s English-class exercise was
the first time she had used QR codes. “It’s different, but it’s fun,” she said. “It’s better than pen and paper.” When the QR code assignment was done, many of Hall’s students put the Android tablets to use studying for their finals, using a flashcard app called Kaka Flashcards. Jane Arthur said she uses the app outside of school as well. “I even have it on my iPod,” the 14-year-old student said. “It’s a lot easier than just looking at the paper.” For Hall, the tablet use is the next step in the evolving presence of technology in her classes. “I dabble in a whole bunch of stuff,” she said. “There’s not a day you could come into my room and we’re not using technology of some sort.”

Compared to the rest of the country, Kamloops has a few more grey hairs. According to the latest 2011 census data released by Statistics Canada this week, the percentage of people over 65 in the Tournament Capital is slightly higher than the national average. Across the country, seniors make up nearly 15 per cent of the population, a record high for Canada. In Kamloops it’s 15.6 per cent, or 13,350 people. That’s in line with the rest of B.C., where the provincial average is 15.7 per cent. At 41.5, the city’s median age — the point where exactly half the population is older and half is younger — is also slightly above the national norm of 40.6, and similar to B.C.’s overall median of 41.9. But, while it may look like a seniormagnet compared to the rest of the country, Kamloops’ population is younger than many of its neighbours. In Kelowna and Merritt, over-65s make up 19 per cent of the population.

In Vernon and Salmon Arm, seniors account for 23 and 24 per cent of people, respectively. The province in general has a higher population of older people than the country as a whole. It’s also the only Western province where two large cities (Kelowna and Victoria) have a higher percentage of seniors than the national average. A list of the 10 communities with the highest populations of seniors also includes seven B.C. places. Qualicum Beach, where 47 per cent of the population is over 65, tops the charts. According to Statistics Canada, the number of seniors in the population is rapidly catching up with the number of children, because of low birth rates and increase life expectancy. The 2011 census also showed an aging working population, with 42 per cent of the population between 45 and 64 — another record high for the country. Here, Kamloops fared a bit better than the nation as a whole. Only 30 per cent of city’s the population is the 45 to 64 bracket.

THIS WEEK
On Monday, May 28, firefighters (above) doused a wildfire in Peterson Creek Park, the second blaze in the area within a week. On Wednesday, May 30, firefighters (right) were called to battle a wildfire in the hills above Dairy Road in Westsyde. The fire, which may have been sparked by lightning, was estimated at 3.5 acres as of press deadline on Wednesday afternoon. Michael Potestio (above) and Dave Eagles (right) photos/KTW
Yet again, the heat is on By Tim Petruk STAFF REPORTER tim@kamloopsthisweek.com
After two suspicious grassfires within a week in Peterson Creek Park, Kamloops Mounties are probing the possibility of a firebug in the area. If they are on the right track, don’t be surprised to see police pull out all the stops to make an arrest. On Monday, May 28, a small but pesky blaze scorched nearly two hectares of earth in the downtown Kamloops park, burning for more than an hour. Kamloops Fire Rescue called in provincial firefighters, who sent a helicopter to help battle the flames
from the air. Investigators believe it was human-caused, but have yet to definitively label the fire an arson. It followed a similarly suspicious fire in the same area last week — and that has investigators concerned. The last time an arsonist went to work in Peterson Creek Park, the fires didn’t end until police set up an elaborate old-school stakeout — including undercover officers armed with night-vision scopes, a police-dog unit hiding in the hills and firefighters on standby. In that instance, in July 2009, David Glenn Hurst was taken into custody after Mounties covertly followed him and watched as he set fire to a tree.
New Patients Welcome
The 52-year-old was charged with two counts of arson and was eventually labelled a long-term offender in B.C. Supreme Court. Kamloops RCMP Staff Sgt. Grant Learned said he couldn’t give away any potential police tactics if it’s determined an arsonist is back at work in Peterson Creek, but he wouldn’t rule anything out. “All investigative avenues are open,” he said, describing Hurst’s arrest as “a rare case” when it comes to an arson investigation. “They watched him come into the park, they watched him set the fire and they arrested him trying to leave. “The more common occurrence is there’s some physical evidence and some circumstantial evidence
• Family Dentistry • Implant Dentistry • Conventional & Implant-retained Dentures • Emergency Appointments Accepted
and that’s put before a judge.” Hurst, 53, has a long criminal record, including multiple arson convictions. He was responsible for a string of car fires in the Lower Mainland in the 1990s, which caused $1 million in damage. Last spring, Hurst was sentenced to seven years in jail. As part of his long-term offender designation, Hurst will also be bound by a 10-year supervision order once he is released. Learned said the investigation into this week’s blaze at Peterson Creek Park — which burned to within 200 feet of a seniors’ housing complex — is ongoing. “We can’t even say it was arson conclusively at this point,” he said.
“It’s a suspicious fire and it’s the second in a week in that area. “It gives us more depth to trying to pursue this.” Learned said investigators seized some evidence after Monday’s fire. “A couple of items were pointed out to our members on the scene by officials at Kamloops Fire Rescue,” he said. “They thought it might have a bearing on the origin of the fire.” According to Learned, those items have since been passed on to the Kamloops RCMP’s forensicidentification section. Anyone with information about the Peterson Creek fires can call Kamloops Mounties at 250-828-3000 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477.

Seniors face rate hike at Heritage House DEALS HE By Andrea Klassen STAFF REPORTER
andrea@kamloopsthisweek.com
Senior citizens packed the gallery at Kamloops city council’s Tuesday, May 29, meeting, but a show of support from the users of Heritage House wasn’t enough to keep the building’s hourly rate fixed at $5 an hour. Council voted to raise the fee for renting the city-owned building to $8.40 per hour, beginning on Friday, June 1. In 2007, the hourly rates at the building were frozen at $5 for five years back, following a protest from 11 groups that had chipped in $80,000 for a major renovation of the building four years earlier. The groups felt the city had promised them the Heritage House rental rate would stay at $5 in perpetuity. Byron McCorkell, the city’s director of parks, recreation and cultural services, told council delaying the hike was meant to give groups at the house time to adapt their fee structures to get ready for the increase. But, just as fees were set to rise, Heritage House users — mostly seniors — asked the city to keep the $5 fee in place permanently. “Seniors are on a reduced
budget and even more so lately,” said Pat Crema, president of the Kamloops Happy Choristers seniors choir. Crema said raising Heritage House’s rental rates would mean increasing her group’s membership fees, noting some members would struggle to pay even an additional $10 a year. However, Coun. Nancy Bepple said groups that helped update the space have already had 10 years of low rental rates. Bepple argued it wasn’t fair to keep the rate artificially low for one group, when others in the city have also helped fix up spaces they use. “If groups want to fundraise and help to make the community better, that’s wonderful,” she said. “But, to then come back and say our group needs to get special treatment forever and ever in the future, we have to look seriously at how we treat groups in our city.” Coun. Pat Wallace, who was on council during the previous rounds of Heritage House negotiations, said she doesn’t believe the city ever made a deal to hold the rent at $5. “I think it’s unfortunate there’s hard feelings for a dollar a week,” she added. “When you think of a dollar, that’s really unfortunate.
Dunes gets council nod A plan to build multi-family residential units on The Dunes at Kamloops golf course got another green light from council. At a public hearing on Tuesday, May 29, council voted to rezone a portion of the course as urban to allow for a 317-unit multi-family housing development, with only Nancy Bepple opposed.
“Our youth, sports groups, other seniors groups pay a lot more than a dollar a week.” But other councillors said they believed the city had miscommunicated its rate plans and, as such, users deserved another five-year freeze or a permanent $5 rate. “I guess it comes down to a question of honour,” said Coun. Marg Spina. “I think these are the people that built Kamloops. They have really given of their volunteer hours and their time.” “I don’t want to see the city be the bad guy in this,” added Coun. Arjun Singh. “From my perspective, we should try to figure out a way to make as many people happy on this as possible.” Coun. Tina Lange also wanted to see the seniors given another five-year rate freeze, but thought rates in other parts of the building, which are rented on a monthly basis, should be revisited and possibly raised. The rate hike passed 5-4, with councillors Lange, Spina, Singh and Donovan Cavers voting against it. Mayor Peter Milobar and councillors Bepple, Wallace, Ken Christian and Nelly Dever voted in favour.
North Core Developments plans to build the units on a portion of the course now in use as a driving range, between the existing 18-hole course and a planned nine-hole addition. Bepple argued the city should preserve agricultural lands. For the project to proceed, the Agricultural Land Commission must approve the developer’s application to withdraw seven hectares from the Agricultural Land Reserve. North Core has said it will convert five hectares of Dunes land into nut and fruit orchards.

The three Kamloops Mounties and one city jail guard facing criminal charges after an alleged cellblock sex scandal two years ago will return to court next week. Cpl. Rick Brown, constables Stephen Zaharia and Evan Elgee and city employee David Tompkins are each facing a charge of breach of trust by a public officer. It is alleged they watched two female prisoners engage in a sex act via closed-circuit TV in the holding cells at the Kamloops RCMP’s Battle Street detachment on Aug. 18, 2010. Brown, Zaharia, Elgee and Tompkins were charged after a lengthy investigation. In a brief hearing on Nov. 3, 2011, the men elected trial by B.C. Supreme Court judge alone.
Three Kamloops Mounties and one city employee are accused of watching via closed-circuit TV a sex act between two women who were locked in one of the detachment’s cells. The alleged incident occurred in August 2010.
Four Kamloops Mounties and five city employees were originally implicated. Initial reports also indicated one of the women was HIV positive — a claim that hasn’t been confirmed by police. One of the women believed to have been involved is now suing the RCMP, the City of Kamloops, the provincial and federal governments, seven city employees and the other woman. In her statement of
claim, the woman said she was too intoxicated to consent to the sex act. The criminal charges are being prosecuted by the Surrey Crown counsel office. The officers alleged to have been involved were each suspended from duty after the incident was reported. It is believed the four Mounties have all since been assigned to administrative duties. Brown, a 20-year RCMP veteran who was watch commander
at the time of the alleged incident, had been suspended with pay until recently. Tompkins’ employment status isn’t known. According to the Criminal Code of Canada, breach of trust by a public officer occurs when an official, “in connection with the duties of his office, commits fraud or a breach of trust.” It is punishable by a maximum of five years in jail. The men are slated to appear for a pre-trial conference on Tuesday, June 5. Their preliminary inquiries are slated for the week of Sept. 24. A preliminary inquiry is a hearing at which a judge determines whether there is enough evidence for the Crown to proceed to trial. Preliminary inquiries are covered by mandatory publication bans.

Ben’s epilogue By Dale Bass STAFF REPORTER dale@kamloopsthisweek.com
Pat DiFrancesco spent the past several months getting people ready for the inevitable — Ben was going to die. Normally, you don’t need to do that for a dog, but Ben wasn’t just any dog. He was the At Second Glance Bookstore dog, a fixture for a dozen years, a little fluff of white fur that would greet people as they wandered into the Victoria Street store. Some, Pat said, weren’t visiting to look for a book. They were there to see the dog and what Pat’s family called
Ben’s wife, a poodle named Molly. Ben had his favourites, people who would regularly come through the doors, and he’d run to greet them. It’s a dog thing, Pat said, and dog owners know what she means. They just know who will be a friend and who just won’t set those tails a-wagging. Ben had a heart condition and wasn’t up to the daily trips to the store, to lounge on the couch at the back or take his more customary perch near the door, watching the downtown world go by. Sometimes, Pat said, he’d venture out into that world. One day, years ago, for exam-
ple, he took off and wasn’t found for several days. A North Shore couple came across Ben, took him home and later called after Pat and her family plastered the area with “Dog Missing, Reward Offered” posters. Other times, Ben would just head out to visit. So well-known was he that people would usually just re-direct him back to the bookstore. But, as almost always happens when one’s pet is getting older and ill, the day came that the decision had to be made. It was about quality of life, Pat said. Ben may be gone but, like the place he called home, his story remains.

Helping seniors in any way possible is smart thing to do
D
OES ANYONE ELSE see the irony that, on the same day we learn seniors are a growing part of the city’s population, our local politicians raise the rental rate at one of that sector’s favourite locations? Maybe going from $5 to $8.40 an hour isn’t really that onerous, but it’s the optics of the boost. Haven’t our seniors already paid enough to our society? OK, I’ve got a slightly vested interest, given I’m just a bit on the south side of the official golden years and spending a fair amount of time contemplating retirement. But, it just seems it’s something that could have been tempered somewhat. After all, even at that rate, Heritage House isn’t a major money-maker for the city. A while ago, I floated the idea of offering free bus rides a couple of days a week to seniors, something other Canadian communities are starting to offer, but that didn’t seem to gain any interest. It seems like a smart thing to do, even if it’s just, say, Tuesdays from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. It might introduce some seniors to the bus service, help get more people out into the community spending and contributing to the economy — or it might just be a way of thanking our seniors for all they’ve done for us. When the census information from Statistics Canada was released earlier this week, my co-workers — each of them younger, some of them way younger than me — noted there are
DALE BASS Street
LEVEL about 6,000 Canadians who have passed the century mark. They seemed surprised by that fact. I’m not. It’s not just a saying that 50 is the new 30 and 60 is the new 40 — which I guess makes 70 the new 50. We’re starting to live longer. In my family, the women have always done that. My great-grandmother was 99 when she died, my grandmother was 97 and, had she not smoked all of her life, my mother might have made it past 75 because, until her lungs gave out, she was an active, spry, otherwise healthy senior. The census information shows that, in four years, Canada will have as many seniors as it does children. In Kamloops, the stats show, that reality already exists, with 15.6 per cent of the population representing both seniors and kids. It was good to see the number of toddlers is increasing in Kamloops, something our school system could use since its numbers have been decreasing in recent years. That’s an area I’ve already defied statistically, having gone way beyond
the 1.5 average number of children per family to five kids. It was interesting to note there are fewer working-age people in Kamloops from the 2006 census. It’s a modest decrease, just four per cent, but it still represents about 3,000 Kamloopsians who have moved on to other communities. I’m looking forward to the rest of the information StatsCan will be releasing, areas addressing family makeup, languages spoken, immigration and ethnic origin, levels of education, income earned and other minutiae that, when viewed in its totality, will give us a better idea of what — and who — Kamloops is today. • On a side note, because it’s too soon for a full column, I sure hope that nasty, dictatorial, controlling side of Vic Toews comes to the fore as he drafts new legislation to deal with the RCMP. Call me a hypocrite, but it would be nice to see that same Draconian attitude he’s been showing for months fuel legislation that finally gives the head of the national police force the ability to actually discipline officers who, so far, just get the occasional slap on the wrist and a relocation to another detachment. I don’t see why the politicians should have any say in this, since every move they make up in the House of Commons is controlled, calculated and done to promote themselves but, if it’s necessary they have that say, it would be nice to see them delegate real power to the person who they say is in charge of the force. dale@kamloopsthisweek.com
The provincial government has done a good thing in scaling back BC Hydro rate increases. The way it is doing so, however, raises more questions than answers. On Tuesday, May 22, Energy Minister Rich Coleman announced the government was cancelling a B.C. Utilities Commission hearing into BC Hydro rate increases, which have already been scaled back from the 50 per cent premium increases which were initially proposed about two years ago, under former premier Gordon Campbell. At that time, the rate increases were suggested to allow for introduction of the smart-meter program, purchase of private power under long-term contracts and major capital expenses, including turbine installation at several dams and other upgrades. When Coleman was named energy minister under Premier Christy Clark, she asked that he review BC Hydro’s plans. The review said the smart-meter program should stay and that other projects should proceed, but also said rates didn’t need to go up as steeply. BC Hydro then asked for an eight per cent increase in 2012, a 3.91 per cent hike in 2013 and a 3.91 per cent rise in 2014. Planned increases were 9.73 per cent each year. Last week, Coleman said BC Hydro received an eight per cent increase in 2011 and a 3.91 per cent increase in 2012, along with a rate rider of five per cent. The government is now saying it wants a 1.44 per cent increase in 2013, making the rate increase 17 per cent over three years. There was no word of what is planned in 2014 or beyond. It all raises these questions: Why is there a B.C. Utilities Commission if the government can simply override its mandate and role? Is this all politics, in preparation for the 2013 provincial election? Is the 2013 rate increase being kept artificially low on the expectation the NDP will win government, as polls suggest?

Re: Higher beer prices predicted: “I worked in the liquor industry in Alberta before and during the privatization of their liquor distribution and I later moved onto a career in drug detox. “The privatization of liquor distribution only reduces selection and will greatly reduce wages, while at the same time prices will rise and the sale of booze will be motivated by one thing — profit. “This is no good for anybody. “It’s odd that, during a time when there is still government resistance to end the drug war to maintain prohibition of marijuana, which does not kill, the government is placing the most deadly and addictive drug (alcohol) in the hands of profit-motivated business. “This makes no sense.” — posted by Bruce Dean

Editor: Re: The front-page story in the May 24 edition of KTW (‘Up the creek in Robbins Range’): The rerouting of Robbins Creek involves two separate events. The first was a natural diversion that occurred in the mid-1970’s from a very large run-off, in which Robbins Creek, above the now-Lindelauf property, left its very small creek bed (one- to two-feet deep) and created a new, very large creek bed (10 feet deep). It then headed straight downhill until it met up with an existing pond-sized lake in the field on the Lindelauf property. This lake and its creeks existed before the First World War, when 10 homesteads settled along their banks. Before this natural diversion, the lake was fed by two creeks from the east,

creeks that have disappeared. The creek bed above, which was abandoned, is very shallow, filled with more than a foot of loam, densely overgrown and often separates into smaller creek beds, all of which would be incapable of dealing with the large volume of water coming from the clearcut above. The second event was a man-made diversion about a kilometre downstream from the lake, at a place where the lake creek and a now much smaller Robbins Creek come within 100 feet of each other. The lake creek had a natural split in which the branch on the north side swung around to the east, while the branch on the south side joined Robbins Creek. In the early 1990s, someone filled in this joining of the south branch. This is when the Campbells noticed their water was diminishing.
WHAT’S YOUR TAKE?
The government plans to change the natural diversion above the Lindelaufs and let the creek choose its own path. This could likely cause a flash flood event over eight properties, making a new 10-foot-deep channel, with every expectation it will not join up with Robbins Creek, as the government hopes. It would also dry up the lake and creek for the birds, ducks, fish, endangered spade foot toads and the properties that have had this creek for more than 100 years. The simple, least intrusive and inexpensive solution to the Campbells’ request is to simply re-open the man-made diversion. This would give the property the same creek waters it had for at least 100 years. Azriel Kowtek Robbins Range
Speed a major problem at corner in Cherry Creek Editor: Last week, we were given what we were promised several months ago — an increase in the speed limit on the Highway 1 west of Kamloops, from 90 km/h to 100 km/h. Unfortunately, we also received what we did not ask for — a fatality within sight
of one of the new signs. The corner at Cherry Creek has been the scene of many accidents stemming from vehicles trying to negotiate the sudden curve at the end of a long downhill stretch, even at 90 km/h. Usually it is a truck dumping a load of goods as it turns on its side.
It has been a while since we have had a loss of life and we don’t need more. Roads designed in the 1950s and built in the 1960s for travel in the cars of the 1970s are dated. Revenue from gas taxes did not go into upgrades or re-design. The money went into
general revenue to help keep pace with medical costs. At least it is there to repair the broken bodies from car accidents that end up in the hospitals. Barrie Lockton Kamloops

Music fans upset with promoter Mountainfest cancellation leaves many unable to get refunds By Jade Swartzberg MERRITT HERALD newsroom@merrittherald.com
Usually, Langley resident Leah Carlson buys four reserved seats and two campsites valued at over $1,500 to attend the Merritt Mountain Music Festival. This year, however, she went with her gut and only reserved two seats. Despite her caution, Carlson is still out $624 that Active Mountain Entertainment has not refunded, although the company announced on May 22 it had scrapped the festival. A cancellation notice posted on the festival website and emailed to those, like Carlson, who purchased tickets directs customers to contact their credit-card providers for a refund. “When I read that it said contact your credit-card company, I knew something was wrong,” said Carlson. “Usually, when a show is cancelled through Live Nation or Ticketmaster, the money is automatically refunded.” On Ticketmaster’s website, it states if an event is cancelled, customers will get an automatic refund for tickets bought online or by phone. Tickets purchased at a retail location can be returned at the same location for a refund.
Instead of phoning her credit-card company, Carlson phoned Active Mountain to request her refund, but the representative insisted she call her credit-card provider. When she called Visa, Carlson was told cardholders had 90 days to dispute a charge and, after that, there was nothing they could do. “The representative I spoke to allowed me to dispute the charges anyway but, since it’s passed 90 days, I have no guarantee,” she said. A customer-service representative from the RBC Royal Bank gave the Merritt Herald a similar response. He said in this situation, Active Mountain is responsible to authorize a refund, otherwise customers need to dispute the charges — and there is no guarantee that will be successful. Carlson is not the only disgruntled ticket holder looking for a refund. On the Merritt Mountain Music Festival Facebook page, several people have posted comments expressing frustration with the company, updating each other as they continue to get what they consider to
be a runaround. Some people said they were told Bean Stream, an electronic payment-processing company, was holding the money but, when Carlson phoned the company, she was told it is only a payment gateway. “They were shocked that he would say they have the money — they don’t have authorization to offer refunds,” said Carlson. “It’s just a bunch of lies like last year when [Active Mountain Entertainment] said the headliner [Montgomery Gentry] cancelled because of plane troubles — and there’s a lot of people out of money.” During the 2011 country-music festival, organizers announced the headline act wouldn’t be able to make it because of mechanical troubles with an airplane. Later, Montgomery Gentry posted a note on its website that its performance was cancelled because of financial trouble with the festival. That was enough for some diehard festival fans to think twice before purchasing tickets this year. “My cousin has been going since the
WE’VE MOVED! 2nd Floor 467 St. Paul Street
beginning, but she didn’t buy tickets this year,” said Carlson. “It’s a shame. It could have been a great thing.” Organizers cited low ticket sales for the cancellation, but Carlson said they could have sold more tickets if Active
Mountain had slashed the prices and marketed the festival as a rebuilding year. Instead, tickets prices were the same as last year. “What it boils down to is that we’ve been lied to,” she said. Mountainfest co-founder Claude Lelievre refused to answer media inquiries. Instead, he told the Merritt Herald to call back next week “when the dust had settled.”

Bylaw boo-boo OKs third dog andrea@kamloopsthisweek.com
Another Kamloops dog owner will be allowed to keep all three of her pooches — in part, because a city employee told her it was OK to have an extra dog. Grewn Kreps said when she purchased her two-year-old lab-cross from the city pound, she was told having a third dog was fine as long as none of her neighbours complained. That didn’t happen but, when she went to license her pets this year, Kreps was flagged by bylaw enforcement for having more than the permitted number of dogs. “I don’t see any reason why I shouldn’t be able to have them,” Kreps told city council May 29. “They’re never loose, they’re never a nuisance to anybody.” Community safety and enforcement manager Jon Wilson confirmed a new staff member at the city pound had steered Kreps wrong and there had been no complaints about her dogs. That, coupled with the fact one of the dogs is 17 years old and near the end of its life, led council to sign off on the variance request.
Staff use their mem-brains Call it bargain hunting on a major scale. City staff are celebrating an agreement with General Electric
CITY HALL that will allow for the purchase of new membranes for the Kamloops Centre for Water Quality for $1.8-million less than budgeted. Public works and sustainability director David Duckworth told council Kamloops will get a big discount if it purchases the membranes by June 1, because the order will keep General Electric’s European manufacturing plant from shutting down for the summer. The city was planning to replace the membranes in 2014, when they reach the end of their lifespan, and has the cash for the purchase in its equipmentreserve fund. Duckworth said because the replacement parts are cheaper — and will also reduce the water centre’s energy bill by about $32,000 — council may be able to reduce water fees when it plans its 2013 budget.
another 114-room hotel block. The type of zoning the developer is seeking would allow several kinds of developments other than a hotel, including restaurants, small manufacturing plants and car and RV lots. But, in this case, city planner Blake Collins told council the rezoning would include a restrictive covenant so the property can’t be turned into a car or RV sales lot if the hotel plan falls through, because staff don’t think it’s an appropriate use of the high-visibilty spot. Collins said staff will be working with the developer to make sure he can meet a city bylaw restricting long-term stays to 30 or
Councillors hear another energy line The Kamloops chapter of the B.C.

She’s hoping to encourage more people to air dry their laundry by hanging it either indoors or outside. To get more people involved in its Solar Laundry Project, the association is giving

Mom says court case is little more than family feud By Tim Petruk STAFF REPORTER
tim@kamloopsthisweek.com
A Kamloops woman is speaking out about an arrest warrant issued for her last week after she failed to show up to court to testify against her son. “The whole thing is a family feud blown out of proportion,” Fay Pickering told KTW. “It was between a mother and her son — and I don’t want to lose my son over this.” On Friday, May 25, Pickering’s 49-year-old son, Rodney, was slated to stand trial on one
count each of assault and uttering threats. In both instances, the crimes were alleged to have been committed against his mom. Fay Pickering didn’t show up in court for the trial and it was postponed. A witness warrant was also issued for her arrest, but Mounties couldn’t locate her in time. Now, Pickering wants the charges against her son dropped. “I’m recanting,” she said. “We got into an argument and things
were said [to police] that shouldn’t have been said. “They’re making a big deal out of nothing.” Pickering said her son doesn’t deserve to be facing criminal charges. “He wasn’t really physical with me,” she said. “He gave me a shove once. But, I mouthed off to him, so I’m to blame, too.” The court date has been re-scheduled for Aug. 24. Pickering said she’s not going to show up.
Langley man dies in car accident A Langley man has been identified as the victim in the May 25 single-vehicle accident in Cherry Creek. Lee Evan Cleaveley, 52, succumbed to injuries suffered
when his Mazda pickup truck lost control on a corner and left Highway 1. The cause of the accident remains under police investigation.
“I’m not going to go,” she said. “They can come and
take me to jail. But, I’m not going to go against my son.”

Despite the emphasis on the greying population, Statistics Canada noted the country is still one of the youngest G8 nations, with one of the highest shares of working-age people.
The number of children under 14 in the city, meanwhile, has stayed static since the last census in 2006. However, across the country, there was a surge in the number of children under four counted in the census — a trend also in play in Kamloops. Here, the number of very young

EAGLE EYES
A story published in the Thursday, May 24, edition of KTW regarding the Timeraiser art auction stated the maximum number of volunteer hours that can be bid for art is 1,200. The figure should have read 100 hours.
Photographer Allen Douglas has made a point of checking in on this eagle family off Highway 5, just north of Kamloops. The babies are growing fast and have come to recognize the sound of Douglas’ vehicle as he approaches. “When I give them a particular whistle, they pop their heads up and give me a grin,” Douglas said. “I’m sure it’s not a grin, but it looks like one!”

Miltimore up for award Canadians can now vote for Guitar Star, the innovation project proposed by Lee’s Music, one of eight finalists competing for the $100,000 Business Development Bank of Canada (BDC) Grand Prize for Innovation. Mike Miltimore has applied the experience gained in his family music business to designing a better guitar with an adjustable neck joint. “The new patent-pending design
we conceived fixes issues around tension and tuning that guitar players want fixed,” he said. “It’s a better-sounding guitar and more robust.” Voting runs to June 19. People can vote through Facebook at BDC Entrepreneur or at bdcyoungentrepreneuraward.ca/ index.php. The winner and runner-up will be announced on June 25.

LOCAL VI EWS
Ruled and fooled
D
URING one of the excellent presentations at the recent Imagine No Religion 2 conference in Kamloops, an image suddenly popped into my mind. It was the old IWW poster depicting the pyramid of capitalism. It shows how the ruling class in society, aided and abetted by organized religion and the legal system, and ultimately relying on its control of state force, lives high on the exploited labour and production of the mass of ordinary working people. Although it was published 100 years ago, the message of the old Wobbliesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; poster would still be relevant at any recent Occupy demonstration. With some disappointment, I realized this coercive aspect of religion received virtually no critical attention at the conference. As far as I can recall, there were only two references to the issue. Given the broad range of topics addressed so well at the conference, my observation is in no way a criticism of either the conference or the presenters. Rather, it has become the impetus for me to comment on the neglected issue. In virtually all societ-
BILL LIGERTWOOD Rational THOUGHTS ies with marked disparities in power and wealth between their social classes, the ruling class is empowered and enabled by religion. Sometimes the nexus between rule and religion is direct, as was the case in the era of the pharaohs of ancient Egypt and the statemandated Christianity of Constantineâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s imperial Rome. This cosy relationship between church and rule continued to flourish under the guise of the divine right of kings in feudal Europe. More recently, albeit in a mutated form, the combination of ruler and faith can be seen in the totalitarian quasi-religions of Adolf Hitler, Joseph Stalin and the dynastic Kims of North Korea. The theocratic regime in Iran is an extreme contemporary version of the close linkage between religion and power in much of the modern Islamic world. And, despite the fact it

is a little more difficult to discern, it is still in effect in many contemporary, ostensibly democratic societies living under modern capitalism. Karl Marx famously observed religion acted as a numbing drug for the masses of ordinary people, blunting the pain of their exploitation. Fifty years earlier, Napoleon Bonaparte, who was no stranger to the exercise of power himself, noted religion was very successful at â&#x20AC;&#x153;keeping common people quiet.â&#x20AC;? Ruling classes throughout history have come to recognize versions of these two observations and, accordingly, have tried to ensure the existence of appropriately supportive religious institutions. In some modern Western societies, particularly the U.S. and, to some degree, Canada, issues originating with religion are often used to keep the population in a constant state of distracted tension. Some have described these so-called wedge issues as part of a larger, sophisticated, conservative strategy involving news, media, entertainment and sports, all designed to distract ordinary people from critically examining their society. Peopleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s religious
sentiments are often used to garner support for rightwing politicians in favour of the establishment status quo, even though this support may be antithetical to their own class position and interests. Even though religious devotion of the most powerful leaders of corporate capitalism is no longer evident, they have found allies in the leaders of many religious institutions, especially fundamentalist Christians. The term panem et circenses described the tried and true imperial Roman method of appeasing public discontent. In presentday corporate, capitalist societies, this bread and circuses approach has been updated. Wedge issues, popular sports, entertainment and news media continually bolster and advance the most conservative view of society. From Tim Tebowâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s genuflections, to Mel Gibsonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Passion of Christ, to Fox News, ordinary people are fed a rich diet of distracting religious ideology. The state of being fooled comes all too easily these days and, along with it, comes its corollary â&#x20AC;&#x201D; a privileged ruling class that, in no small way, relies on that befuddlement.

Losing weight has never been easier
LOCAL NEWS
After suffering a back, knee, and hip injury, I had given up all hope of losing the excess weight that I had put on in the past 8 years. When Powertone opened, I was excited that I could finally do some form of exercise which didn’t further aggravate my injuries and cause me more pain. I was very confident that this would work for me because I knew Irene from her health studio in Richmond and had been a steady client of Margaret hers for over 15 years. She is very professional, Very satisfied customer knowledgeable, and customizes the exercise program to achieve the best results for every individual. She also combines specialized body treatments for spot reduction. I was not disappointed! I started going to Powertone Health Studios twice a week, followed a healthy nutrition plan, both of which fit easily into my busy schedule. In 2 months, I had lost over 40 lbs*, went down 3 sizes and feel fantastic! I have more energy and a zest for living that I never thought possible. I don’t find myself bored with Powertone and actually looked forward to it because not only did it firm my body, but I feel really good afterwards. I highly recommend everyone to try Powertone……it can give you a new lease on life! *Results will vary depending on body type and meal plan.

Senior and master hunters from the Kamloops Gun Dog Club took to the hills of Knutsford on the weekend to demonstrate their retrievers in action. Included among the participants were Dean Audet of the Luckyshoes Retrievers Dog Training Academy of Kamloops and his chocolate retriever Tick. Tick is said to come from hunting royalty, with the father being one of the highest-ranking chocolate males in the U.S. and the mother being one of the highest-ranked in Canada.

Zero down payment mortgages – Having trouble raising enough money for a down payment? The zero down mortgage offers buyers the chance to use only the lender’s money to buy a home. The bank expects the borrower to have good credit and good employment to qualify. This type of product may allow you to buy now and stop paying high rents. 5% cash back mortgages – Can’t afford that truck payment plus a mortgage? If you have a down payment, but can’t afford to use it for both bill reduction and buying a home, then the cash back mortgage is an option. You can use the 5% for anything you want – home renovations, pay off bills, add to savings. Purchase plus improvements – Can’t find anything in your price range you like? The purchase plus improvements mortgage allows you to increase your mortgage by up to 15% of your purchase price to renovate your home. This way, you can buy a less expensive home and renovate it the way you want – all included in your mortgage. This program does not cover pools and hot tubs, but roofs, walls, kitchens, bathrooms are fine. Purchase plus improvement mortgages are available at very competitive rates. Equity Mortgages – Has the bank said “no” because of your income, but you have strong equity in your home? There are lenders who will take into account the equity you have built up in your home and lend on that instead of income. 50% (50% ownership) and 65% (35% ownership) loan to value percentages are often acceptable to lenders. The lender will always ask for an appraisal and will expect the borrower to have excellent credit. Whether you are a first-time homebuyer, up for renewal or refinancing, there are many unique and competitive products available on the market today. For more information about qualifying for a mortgage or if you have questions about your specific situation, please call 250 682 6077 or e-mail steve.bucher@migroup.ca or check out my website at www.mortgagebuilder.ca

MICHAEL BENJAMIN (BEN) KIRKEY
(nee Cornish) of Kamloops BC.
July 13, 1986 – May 27, 2012
March 31, 1938 – May 26, 2012
On May 27, 2012, Michael Benjamin (Ben) Kirkey passed away at Royal Inland Hospital, Kamloops, BC, as a result of a tragic vehicle accident the prior evening.
Wilma was the youngest of ten children of John and Mary Cornish. She was born in the farming community of Willkie, Saskatchewan and grew up in a very close and loving family. Wilma moved to Vancouver, BC to finish school, got her teaching degree and taught school. She met and married John Thomas and they started a family. Wilma and her family moved to Kamloops, BC in 1962 and raised her four children. Wilma was a devoted wife, mother, an avid gardener and a seamstress. She was involved in everything she could be to ensure her family’s happiness and success. Single at 40, this hardworking woman struggled to finish raising her children. Wilma worked as a Care Aide to the disabled until her retirement. Wilma loved to dance. She loved to travel. Her quirky humour was appreciated by many. Wilma was so excited to be a grandmother and envisioned a retirement full of friends, family and travel. Wilma became a brave spokesperson and champion of the Alzheimer’s Society winning honor and awards. Alzheimer’s eventually stole her future as a lover, friend, sister, mother and grandmother. A thank you to the entire extended Cornish Clan for being the warm, loving and supportive family who were always there for me. And an especial loving thanks to my closest and favourite sister Mary. I give much love to my children; Ann, Catherine, John (and Jonah) and Rob and to my wonderful grandchildren; Michaela, Josef, Gregory and Austin. I am sorry I missed out on being there. And last, but definitely not least, a special thank you to my long term friends; Gerry and May. You stuck with me despite the ravages of Alzheimer’s as true friends. To you all, even though I could not tell you, I love you. A memorial will be held on Saturday, June 2, 2012 followed by a luncheon. Call 250-332-5912 or 250-554-3523 for further information. Please make any memorial donations to the Alzheimer’s Society of BC.
Ben was an active, athletic man who loved many activities including snowboarding, wakeboarding, and golf. His brand new Harley Davidson motorcycle was his pride and joy.
Friends wishing to pay their respects by viewing are invited to do so Friday evening from 7:00 to 9:00 pm in the Schoening Funeral Chapel, 513 Seymour Street. Online condolences may be expressed at www.schoenings.com

The Lord replied, “My precious, precious child, I love you and I would never leave you. During your times of trial and suffering, when you saw only one set of footprints, it was then that I carried you.”
Everyone is invited to a celebration of Ben’s life on Saturday, June 2, 2012 at 2:00 pm at the Bible Truth Church, 1099 Fraser Street, Kamloops.
ROYSTON (ROY) LEWIS HAWKINS
May God keep you safe in his arms till we meet again.
This really bothered him and he questioned the Lord about it. “Lord, you said that once I decided to followed you, you’d walk with me all the way. But I have noticed that during the most troublesome times of life, there is only one set of footprints. I don’t understand why, when I needed you most, you would leave me.”
Ben’s family is very proud of his many accomplishments in life, in school, and in his work. He touched many people with his smile, his infectious zest for life, his energy, his sense of humour, and his generosity to others. He was an ambitious and amazingly hard worker who always strived for perfection in his every endeavour.
Ready and Willing to live life to the fullest!
It’s been one long year since you left us and you are missed each and every day. Roy, you were the love of my life and I was so honored to be your wife. The days and years that we spent together will live with me in my heart forever. You hold a very dear place in all of our hearts where we have so very many loving memories. You made our lives so very special just like the person you were, a true gentleman who was loved by many. We will always love and miss you but also feel so blessed to have had you in our lives.
When the last scene of his life flashed before him, he looked back at the footprints in the sand. He noticed that many times along the path of his life there was only one set of footprints. He also noticed that it happened at the very lowest and saddest times in his life.
Ben was born July 13, 1986 at Milton, Ontario. He moved to Kamloops with his family in 1992, where he attended Juniper Ridge Elementary (1992-1999) and Valleyview Secondary School (1999-2004). His graduation with a Bachelor of Business Administration from Thompson Rivers University was to take place on June 15, 2012. Ben had already begun in a management training position with Cintas Corporation, Kelowna, BC, and was planning to move to Kelowna on June 1, 2012.
Should friends desire, donations to the Dr. E. Murakami Centre for Lyme Research, Education & Assistance Society (www.murakamicentreforlyme.org/donating.htm) in memory of Ben would be appreciated.
In loving memory of a much loved husband, father, grandfather and friend
One night a man had a dream. He dreamed he was walking along the beach with the Lord. Across the sky flashed scenes from his life. For each scene, he noticed two set of footprints in the sand: one belonging to him, and the other to the Lord.
Ben will be sadly missed and forever loved and remembered by his mother and father, Jacquie and Bernie Kirkey, and his younger sister Tara, all of Kamloops. Ben will also be lovingly remembered by his grandparents Muriel and Lloyd Owen (Waterloo, ON), his aunts and uncles, Sandy Higgins (Collingwood, ON), Barry and Mary Lynn Kirkey (Englehart, ON), John Higgins (Markham, ON), Kathryn and Corrie Oukes (Nobleton, ON), Randy Kirkey (Dayton, OH), Barbara and Maurice Pollett (Kitchener, ON), Elizabeth Kirkey (Exeter, ON), his great-aunt Flora Sloski (Milton, ON), his many cousins and countless friends. Ben was predeceased by his grandparents, Dr. John Higgins (2005) and his wife Catherine Higgins (1996) and Eugene Kirkey (1988), all of Englehart, ON.
Papabear, It’s been five years since you left us. We weren’t ready to let you go, but you were in pain and we understand why you did. Life has changed, and continues to change so rapidly since you were here. Every day we come across situations where we wish we could call and ask for your support and advice. We take the lessons you taught us while you were here and apply them to the situations we face today.

Life Is Like A Butterfly Life is like a butterfly, Softly, softly . . . One never
Though we cannot hear or see you anymore, we can feel you guiding us in the right direction and protecting us. Know that you are thought of often. We love you always, and will never forget. We knew that morning That God would call your name. In life we loved you dearly In death we do the same; It broke our heart to lose you But you did not go alone, For part of us went with you The day God called you home. You left us beautiful memories, Your love is still our guide, And although we cannot see you, You’re always by our side. Our family chain is broken, And nothing seems the same, But as God calls us one by one, The chain will link again.

We miss you so much, your stories, your laughter, your caring gentle ways, and yet they are with us every day. Loving memories last forever. Always in Our Hearts, Dolly, Julie, Bonnie, Lisa & Families
DAD, There isn’t a day that goes by that I don’t think about you and what a great man you were. Thank you for being you and being the best human being a person could ever look up to. Keep watching me, ‘cause I need that sharp eye looking down on me. You keep me on the right path. Thanks Dad Liz xoxo We miss you so much Grandpa. Jessica, Joseph & Pat

Wally Buono is no longer the head coach of the B.C. Lions — and he’s looking forward to focusing on his duties as the Leos’ GM. KTW file photo
Wally slides into new role By Marty Hastings STAFF REPORTER
sports@kamloopsthisweek.com
Where’s Wally? That’s the question B.C. Lions general manager Wally Buono would like asked of him when the CFL team’s training camp gets underway in Kamloops on Sunday, June 3. “In fairness to everybody, Mike needs to be visible and I need to be invisible,” said Buono, who handed the headcoaching reins to Mike Benevides after leading the Leos to their sixth
Grey Cup championship in November. “If I wanted to be the head coach, then I should be the head coach. I don’t want to be looking over Mike’s shoulders. I don’t want to be visible in that respect.” Buono, who was the Lions’ GM and head coach from 2003 to 2011, is moving into a new stage of his football life — a stage with less limelight, which is just fine with him. “If I felt like I was
going to be missing something, then I don’t know that I would have moved aside,” Buono said. “Coaching is always about enjoying the challenges, the relationships, the competitive nature and the commitment. “But, there’s also the emotional commitment and the emotional damage that coaching puts onto you.” The winningest coach in CFL history must have endured
some testing emotional times last season when the highly touted Lions started 0-5, spurring plenty of calls for his head. Benevides will be first in the line of fire when B.C. struggles this season. Buono’s responsibility is to make sure the Lions field the best team possible when the Winnipeg Blue Bombers fly into B.C. Place Stadium for the Leos’ home opener on June 29.
He plans to quietly go about his business at Hillside Stadium until camp wraps up on June 20. “My position is to be an overseer, a mentor and an advisory person,” Buono said. “I’m going to be very happy more in the background as a guy who’s trying to evaluate the personnel and trying to make sure that we’re picking the best players. “It’s a different role, but I think it’s a role I’m quite ready for.” X See LIONS A31
The Sa-Hali Sabres have had a terrific season and, thanks in large part to a group of community volunteers, it will continue when the senior girls’ AA provincial high school soccer championship gets underway on McArthur Island today. “A group of parents have stepped forward and taken over the organization of it,” said tournament director Chris Whettell, whose niece, Taylor MacDonald, is on the Sabres’ squad. “Everybody has been amazing.” The ongoing labour dispute between the teachers’ union and the B.C. government has led to the cancellation of several provincial high school championships. Whettell was quick to thank Sa-Hali’s teachers for doing everything they could under the guidelines set by their union to help with the tournament. The host Sabres proved they deserved to be at provincials by winning the Okanagan zone championship, defeating
Okanagan Mission of Kelowna in the tournament final on May 16 in Penticton. Sa-Hali did not lose a game at the eight-team championship. “Mary Bartucci, who has historically been the teacher-coach of the team, fully expects [the Sabres] to finish in the top four [at provincials],” said Whettell, noting Sa-Hali’s junior girls’ soccer team and about 20 parents have stepped forward to volunteer for this week’s tournament. Danya Mitchell, Braeden Burrows and Jason Burrows — all Sa-Hali alumni — handled the Sabres’ coaching duties this season. Among the tournament favourites are St. Thomas More Collegiate of Burnaby, Lambrick Park of Victoria and Burnsview of Delta, along with the Sabres. The tournament wraps up on Saturday, June 3. Log on to kamloopsthisweek.com for the schedule. “I just think the kids deserve to have this amazing experience,” Whettell said.
Spences secure awards The Spence family’s trophy cabinet got a little bigger at the British Columbia Speed Skating Association’s annual general meeting in Burnaby on the weekend. Tori Spence was named the national long-track skater of the year, while her sister Josie was named the provincial long-track skater of the year. Both are members of the River City Racers.

Kamloops denied junior Pan Am Games, awarded NACAC event By Marty Hastings STAFF REPORTER
sports@kamloopsthisweek.com
Judy Armstrong and the committee that bid on the 2015 Pan American junior track and field championships were let down and subsequently picked up on Tuesday, May 29. Athletics Canada gave the Pan Am games to Edmonton, but appeased Kamloops by awarding it first rights to the 2014 Under 23 North America,
Central America and Caribbean (NACAC) Championships, also an International Association of Athletics Federations-sanctioned (IAAF) event. â&#x20AC;&#x153;After all is said and done, I think itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s positive,â&#x20AC;? said Armstrong, president of the Kamloops Track and Field Club. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They said it was a very, very hard decision, and I really believe that.â&#x20AC;? Both Edmonton and
Kamloops put forth fantastic bids, said Athletics Canadaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s chief executive officer Rob Guy. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Edmontonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s budget was bigger, but I was totally comfortable in both of them that, with the budgets they had, they would be able to put on a first-class event,â&#x20AC;? Guy said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It just came down to we had to pick one.â&#x20AC;? Edmonton hosted the 2001 IAAF world track and field champi-
onships and â&#x20AC;&#x153;as a result of that, built up a fair legacy fund that put some money into the [Pan Am games] bid,â&#x20AC;? Guy said. Up to two athletes from each of the 31 attending countries are allowed to compete in each event at the NACAC championships, meaning between 500 to 700 athletes, coaches and team staff will visit the River City in 2014. Many of the ath-
letes will be aspiring to compete in the 2016 Olympics in Brazil. Countries in the NACAC zone include Anguilla, Antigua and Barbuda, Aruba, Bahamas, Barbados, Belize, Bermuda, British Virgin Islands, Canada, Cayman Islands, Costa Rica, Cuba, Dominica, Dominican Republic, El Salvador, Grenada, Guatemala, Haiti, Honduras, Jamaica, Mexico, Montserrat,
Netherland Antilles, Nicaragua, Puerto Rico, St. Kitts and Nevis, St. Lucia, St. Vincent and The Grenadines, Trinidad and Tobago, Turks and Caicos, the U.S. and the U.S. Virgin Islands. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We are excited to get the chance to
work with Athletics Canada and showcase Kamloops to the NACAC and look forward to a fantastic event in 2014,â&#x20AC;? said Byron McCorkell, parks, recreation and cultural services director for the City of Kamloops.

How predictable, Kings and Devils in Cup final
M
Y RECORD
as a prognosticator is not good. Back in 1963, I remember telling friends that those four lads from Liverpool had a pretty good beat and great haircuts, but would never make it big with a silly name like the Beatles. The Leafs, I predicted, would win at least five Stanley Cups in a row after taking the top prize in 1967. There would be long-lasting peace in the Middle East, I remember saying. The Internet? It’ll never catch on was my 1994 assertion. So, it comes with great surprise that, on the eve of the Stanley Cup final between the New Jersey Devils and Los Angeles Kings, I harken back to a column written in mid-October last year, as the NHL season was just beginning, when the
BRUCE PENTON From PRESS ROW prediction was there in black and white — you can look it up — that the L.A. Kings would win the Cup. “Kings poised for NHL crown” was the headline on the Oct. 17 column. The words posited a logical scenario where the goaltending of Jonathan Quick, the improving defence led by Drew Doughty and a passel of offensive stars, led by Anze Kopitar and the summertime acquisition Mike Richards, would allow the Kings to finally put it all together.
“ . . . the biggest blockbuster hit in Hollywood [next June] could be Stanley himself on parade down Wilshire Boulevard,” was how the column ended. So, how did that work out? For most of the season, it looked — as usual — like a prediction about as accurate as the ones detailed in paragraph one above. The Kings were so-so all year, scaring only their coach, Terry Murray, who was eventually fired mid-season while the Kings sat in the middle of the Western Conference pack — or lower — for most of the year. But, after Darryl Sutter took over as coach just before Christmas, the Kings started looking like a contender. In the final week, they squeezed into the final playoff spot in the West
and then started playing like the Habs of 1959 or the Oilers of 1983. Now, here they are in the Cup final and playing the sixth-best team from the Eastern Conference, the Devils. How predictable, right?
“QUOTE, UNQUOTE” • Comedy writer Jim Barach: “Tiger Woods says he can win on the PGA Tour into his 50s. The only question is whether he can do it in his 30s and 40s.” • R.J.

Shake, rattle and roll away — please
O
This rattlesnake showed up on the doorstep of Nicole Chiasson’s home in Westsyde on Monday, May 28. Chiasson reacted as most would — she closed the door and grabbed a camera to get a photograph of the unwelcome visitor.
N THE AFTERNOON OF MAY 28, AN UNEXPECTED VISITOR DROPPED BY NICOLE CHIASSON’S HOME. Chiasson had been walking her dog around her Country Trailer Park home in Westsyde. When she got back to her trailer, she noticed her dog was missing his name-tag. When Chiasson stepped outside to look for it, she came across her surprise visitor. It was resting on the bottom step to her home — a two-foot-long rattlesnake. “It was quite the shock,” Chiasson told KTW, noting the sight of the serpent scared the “you know what” out of her. She was stuck in her trailer, as the snake was essentially blocking her front entrance. Chiasson then closed the door, grabbed her cameraphone and snapped a picture of the slithering squatter. For about the next 40 minutes, Chiasson watched the rattler from her window, concerned it might slide under her trailer. She waited for the reptile to move, but it wouldn’t budge. “I saw one of my neighbours walk past, so I opened my door and yelled at him, ‘Oh, my God! There’s a rattlesnake!’” said Chiasson. Her neighbour, Jerry Yantz, suggested calling the SPCA or city bylaws, but the SPCA was closed and bylaws directed her to another number. That’s when another neighbour, Nick Ostoroff, drove by and offered to help. Ostoroff and Yantz came to her rescue and captured the rattler. They managed to place a small garbage bin over the snake, slide a board underneath it and flip the bin over, trapping the rattler within. “He was not happy,” Chiasson said. “You could hear his tail rattling a lot.” Ostoroff then took the snake and released it far from their community. Chiasson has two children, a three-year-old daughter and a newborn baby boy. She showed her daughter the snake to ensure the girl knows what they look like in case another rattler decides to drop by again. She also recommended the website bcreptiles.ca/more_rattlers.htm as a resource to help people figure out what to do if confronted with a snake situation. If you know where to look — or, if they pay you a visit as one did Chiasson — you will realize Kamloops is home to six species of snakes. X See HERP B7

Dolls take aim at Kamloops By Dale Bass STAFF REPORTER dale@kamloopsthisweek.com
First, the obvious question: Why is the band called Shotgun Dolls? There’s no fascinating story behind it, said bassist Mike Badmington. “We’ve got a song called Shotgun Love and we just put Dolls after it.” But, it’s a name that works, that’s catchy, that’s memorable, the Calgary musician said of the “stroke of luck” putting the two random words together created for the trio. The Dolls have been through
Kamloops before and are returning for a Saturday, June 9, show at The Dirty Jersey, 1200 Eighth St. Anyone who has heard the Dolls before might notice a different sound this time. While the band used to have a punk sound, it’s gone straight into rock and roll, “more like Deep Purple,” Badmington said. And, it’s touring with a new drummer, having added Ty Gogal earlier this year. Gogal’s there because he can tour; the original drummer is still in university and can’t hit the road yet. Originals Badmington and
Turner Midzain have known each other since elementary school, but didn’t form the band until three years ago. Badmington said his first inspiration to be a musician came when he was just 12 and saw Angus Young of AC/DC singing. “That’s the whole reason I wanted to play. A new single, From the Roots, should be released next month and the band is still working on another CD, as yet untitled, to follow up its debut EP and second release, Where the Wind Blows. Opening for the Dolls in Kamloops is another Calgary band, Mancub.

Herp Day a time for search X From B1
The northern Pacific Rattlesnake, the lone venomous snake in the Kamloops areas, is the one that stopped by Chiassonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s home. Others include the gopher snake, the rubber boa, the yellowbellied racer â&#x20AC;&#x201D; who, as his name indicates, is NASCAR-fast â&#x20AC;&#x201D; the Western terrestrial and the common garter snake. Snakes have long been feared and hated, but there are people working to dispel that reaction in people. B.C. Bear Aware provincial co-ordinator Frank Ritcey is one of those seeking to present the truth about snakes. He said the reptiles have suffered from 2,000 years of bad press, but the truth is, they are important to the health of their ecosystem. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I always say, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Snakes are people, tooâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;,â&#x20AC;? Ritcey said. To help keep snake awareness slithering along, Ritcey and friends Loyd Bishop and Peter Sulzle created the website interiorsnakeden.com last summer. The site focuses on educating people about snakes. It also aims to dispel fears and negative ideas people have developed. Take, for example, the belief snakes are slippery and greasy. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not slippery. If they were slippery, they wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be able to go anywhere,â&#x20AC;? Bishop said with a laugh. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s their muscles in their skin that actually propels them along.â&#x20AC;? He said they want people to understand they donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t need to be afraid of snakes â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and they can still enjoy watching them. The rattlers are the most dangerous because of their venom and the other five can bite but, if left in peace, they pose no real threat. Videos, photos and written descriptions of the Kamloops snakes can be found on the website.
Jerry Yantz (left) and Nick Ostoforoff capture a rattlesnake in a garbage bin. Ostoforoff later released the reptile away from the Westsyde trailer park.
Visitors can post comments and share photos, experiences and questions about snakes. They can also follow the siteâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s blog, which includes posts from snake specialists. In an effort to increase awareness and understanding of snakes, the three have started what they call International Herp Day, set for Sunday, June 3. The term herp comes from the word herpetology, which is the study
of reptiles and amphibians. On Sunday, the three will set out to find and photograph herps in the Tranquille Creek area. Bishop and Ritcey do videography and Sulzle is a professional wildlife photographer. They plan to spend the day looking for herps. From around 5 a.m. to midnight, they will look for all six species, along with a variety of other herps. The Northern alliga-
tor lizard and Western painted turtle are two particular herps they want to find, along with any other reptiles and amphibians they can come across. â&#x20AC;&#x153;So, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got our hit list of animals weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re looking for and weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll probably spend the entire day out there,â&#x20AC;? Ritcey said. He expects theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll start and end in the dark as many of the snakes are nocturnal hunters. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not like thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a snake behind every sagebrush,â&#x20AC;? Ritcey said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got to work really hard to get all the species and we put in a lot of kilometres walking when we are out looking for our subjects,â&#x20AC;? He said they welcome people sending photos of snakes they may come across on Herp Day, along with a note on the general area in which they were found. However, as Ritcey cautioned, people should keep their distance, ensuring they do not disturb the snakes. A good idea would be to go with people who are trained in dealing with snakes and other herps. For more information about the group or Herp Day, go online to interiorsnakeden.com.

10 ways to test your mental health
T
HIS IS THE LAST COLUMN FOR MAY, WHICH is Mental Health Awareness Month, so we have to take this opportunity to ask our readers: What did you do to improve your mental health this month? Remember, mental health is not a yes or no proposition; health of all kinds is always a range from awful to extremely good. There is no such thing as perfect health or mental health, so there is always room for improvement. If you want to score yourself to see how well you cared for your mental health this month or if you know you were negligent and want to make up for your lack of attention to your mental health, here is a checklist of 10 ways to help you sort it out: 1. Did you get outside and get some sun — a tremendous boost to our mental health when precautions are taken to avoid sunburn? 2. Did you spend time with people you enjoy and care about? 3. Did you stay physically active and keep your body mov-
ing at every possible opportunity (like parking at the farthest end of the parking lot and walking from the office to lunch?) Exercise improves circulatory and respiratory systems, which makes for a healthier brain — see point number eight to know why! 4. Did you put healthy things in your body: Healthy foods, healthy beverages, moderate alcohol or caffeine amounts? 5. Did you get at least seven hours of sleep every night?
6. Did you laugh heartily often? More than once a day is best; laughing until you have trouble breathing or standing is ideal. If you are literally laughing so hard you are rolling around on the office floor, you will be amazed how much laughter you encourage in others. 7. Did you behave in a way of which you are proud? Nothing destroys
self-esteem (and, subsequently, our mental health) more than acting in a way that is contrary to your values and beliefs. 8. Did you use your brain with mental exercises like crossword puzzles and Sudoku? A healthy brain is good for mental health as the brain is the key organ to your mental health. 9. Did you volunteer your time or do
nice things for people you know? These types of activities increase our connectedness, remind us that we are better off than many others, and improve our overall outlook about the world and most importantly, about ourselves. 10. Did you focus on the positives, and on things within your control? The sure way to create depression in yourself or others is to dwell on the negatives, the downers and the things we cannot control. Mental health is created by the positive, the uplifting and the encouraging messages we give and get.
Thanks for reading our column and for contributing your questions to Kamloops@cmha. bc.ca because we always love to hear from you — and your interest is good for everyone’s mental health!

Making dining out just a little bit easier It is now easier than ever to make healthy choices when dining out with the recent launch of the Province of British Columbia’s Informed Dining program. Featuring more than 300 restaurant outlets in British Columbia, the program publishes nutritional information and allows diners to view the information in a format similar to that of a nutritional guide on products at the grocery store. All you have to do is look for the Informed Dining logo at participating restaurants. “British Columbians have made it clear they want information to help them make informed choices about what they and their families are eating,” says B.C. Minister of Health Mike de Jong. “With Informed Dining, we are partnering with B.C. restaurants to help make the healthy choice the easy choice.” Some of the participating restaurants include chains such as The Boathouse, De Dutch, A&W and Little Caesar’s, and stand-alone restaurants such as H.A.V.E. Cafe in Vancouver, Mountain Eagle Books in Smithers and Joseph’s Coffee House in Victoria. With people in British Columbia eating a meal in a restaurant approximately 10 per cent of the time, it’s never been more important to be able to source out healthy options. With the new program, calorie and sodium information is prominently highlighted for all regular menu items, while other nutrients, including carbohydrates and fat, are also noted. The program also gives advice on daily calorie and

Excess weight can increase the risk for type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular diseases and various cancers, so caloriecounting is an important part of a healthy diet. Eating too much sodium contributes to high blood pressure, stroke, heart disease and kidney disease, making sodium another important piece of the healthy eating puzzle. “Healthy eating is a critical element in living a long and healthy life and avoiding cardiovascular disease,” says Gavin Arthur, vice-president of research and health promotion for the Heart and Stroke Foundation of Canada. “The Informed Dining program takes a positive step forward in providing people with information they can use in making informed choices while dining out.” The program is voluntary, but the provincial government is
encouraging every restaurant to join the initiative and make such information available. “We want to be part of the solution in making healthy choices, easy choices in B.C.,” says Vice-President of the Canadian Restaurant and Foodservices Association Mark von Schellwitz. “This program has the potential to help restaurant patrons become more conscious about what they are eating – it also shines a light on those establishments already providing menu nutrition content while encouraging other restaurants to follow suit.” The provincial government has been working on this program since 2010, and has given restaurants several options for disclosing nutrition information, including a menu insert, a poster or a brochure. “I am proud that we have about 300 outlets across the province signed up to participate in this important program,” says Ian Tostenson, CEO and president of the B.C. Restaurant and Foodservices Association. “I know that other business will continue to learn more about Informed Dining and sign up – this information is what our customers have been telling us they want, and it is our responsibility to provide it.” The initiative is part of the Healthy Families BC campaign, created by the Province to promote healthy lifestyles and prevent chronic disease.

Kamloops SPCA volunteers spent time on the weekend serving up hot dogs, drinks and chips to hungry shoppers at Sahali Mall as part of fundraising for the annual month-long SPCA City Challenge. The competition pits the Kamloops SPCA against the Prince George SPCA in a battle to determine which agency can raise the most money. Despite falling behind early, Kamloops roared back and, entering the final day of competition today (May 31), had raised $29,000, compared to Prince George’s $22,000. Helping with the victory were little Nevaya Slater, mom Donna Slater (right) and Dean Burwash. Serving up the food were (in the background) SPCA volunteers Lynda Jones (left), Adak Gruver and Ya-Ting Chang. George Wycherley/KTW

An ode to a lasagna-noodle epiphany
I DARCIE HOSSACK Bon APPÉTIT
N THE BEGINNING, WE PEERED AT EACH OTHER’S AVATARS ACROSS A QUIET CHAT ROOM. No one — everyone, it seemed — wanted to be the first to write. It was January 2006 and we were all new enrollees in the Humber School for Writers’ mentorship program by correspondence. We had each been paired with CanLit veterans and, for my part, I
had been stress-eating every since receiving my acceptance letter. My classmates were similarly on edge. And, while we each were working to somewhat different schedules on wildly varying manuscripts, most were expected to deliver 30 pages every two weeks for the next six months. “Hi. My name is Darcie and I think I’m going to need a 10-step program for getting through this,”
I wrote, reaching into the back of my desk drawer for the Christmas chocolate hidden there. “Who does everyone have for mentors?” someone asked, provoking a list of names, but few illustrations, fearing our teachers might be looking over our shoulders, sorting the sheep from the goats. “Anyone want to share their writing bios, just so we know who’s who?” wrote one student — in answer to which the names of a
few journals began to appear I typed into a text balloon: “I’m studying fiction, but write a food column for newspapers.” “That has to be the best job ever!” several chimed in. They weren’t wrong. And, so, it happened that we students, mostly women, became an unlikely flung-across-the-country-and-overseas kaffeeklatch. X See SHARING B14

Sharing ideas — and recipes Looking for some meal X From B13
(Sorry to say, but the two men who showed up didn’t want to exchange recipes and eventually left the conversation.) We chatted, almost equally, about workshops for writing—

and baking. We shared ultrasecret recipes for raspberry white-chocolate scones, mashed potato cinnamon buns and Caribbean squash soup, while discussing how to flesh out believable characters.
sa g na Makes two
7 cups tomato pasta sauce 1 large farmer’s sausage, diced 600 grams lean ground beef 1 tbsp. chili powder 5 sprigs fresh oregano leaves, finely chopped 2 tbsp. canola oil 7 large white mushroom, sliced 1 1/2 large onions, diced 475-gram container ricotta cheese 170-gram bag baby spinach 6 sprigs fresh basil leaves 1 sprig parsley leaves, finely chopped 300 grams mozzarella 120 grams cheddar Kosher salt/fresh ground pepper Lasagna noodles In a large skillet over med-high heat, brown beef. Add chilli powder, fresh oregano, salt and pepper. In a separate skillet, wilt spinach. Season. Transfer to a bowl (do not drain) and set aside. Wipe skillet dry with a paper towel, add one tablespoon oil, set over high heat, and sear mushrooms until golden. Season. Set aside (do not drain). To the skillet, add the second tablespoon of oil. Reduce heat and caramelize onions. In a large pot, combine sauce, beef, onions and farmer’s sausage. Heat until hot. Into each of two lasagna dishes, spread a generous amount of sauce. Layer with uncooked lasagna noodles, breaking to fit where necessary. Cover with more sauce and swirl in ricotta. Top with mushrooms and spinach (and their liquids). Sprinkle with cheeses, top with basil and a sprinkling of parsley, followed by a second layer of noodles, then remaining sauce. Top with cheese and parsley. Bake at 350 F for 40 minutes.

TRAVEL
Enjoy B.C.’s bounteous backyards By Margaret Deefholts SPECIAL TO KTW travelwriterstales.com
“You’ll find your happiness lies, right under your eyes, back in your own backyard,” warbled Sammy Davis Jr. How true. We travel abroad in search of adventures, often forgetting that, tucked into our own British Columbian “backyards,” are rugged wilderness trails, cruises along the spectacular West Coast waters, restaurants offering distinctive West Coast cuisine paired with local wines and markets with uniquely crafted treasures. Here are some suggestions: • Days One and Two: Catch the Tswwassen ferry to Swartz Bay and spend a day and night in Victoria. Stroll the sunsplashed waterfront, chow down a meal in Chinatown or take a cruise around the harbour. Drop by the Royal B.C. Museum to explore its special exhibitions and take a tour of the Butchart Gardens — at dusk, the grounds are a fairyland of miniature lights. • Day Three: Drive up the Malahat on Highway 1. Visit the First Nations’ Quw’utsun Cultural Centre in Duncan and listen to Cowichan Band elders spinning intriguing legends and folklore during an hour long tour. Don’t miss the B.C. Forest Museum — kids and adults alike get a

kick out of riding the train as it chugs along a narrow gauge line through wooded glades bordering Somenos Lake. Peek into vintage logging bunkhouses and dip into B.C.’s yesterdays as displayed in archival photographs. Enjoy Chemainus’ vast outdoor art gallery — the town’s heritage is proudly emblazed on the walls of its streets and commercial buildings. Take in a performance at the elegant Chemainus Theatre before turning in for the night. • Day Four: Stroll Nanaimo’s waterfront walkway and pop into the renovated museum, where the first Nanaimo Bathtub Race bathtub is on proud display. Fitzwilliam Street is picture-postcard pretty:
Cobbled streets flanked by art stores, curios, crafts, books and boutiques. Don’t leave town without munching on a Nanaimo Bar. At Parksville/ Qualicum, treat yourself to a spa experience at The Grotto (Tigh Na Mara Resort). Luxuriate in a sensuous massage with scented oils, thermal wraps and soothing rubs. Afterward, indulge in an epicurean meal (while wearing a cozy bathrobe) at its Treetops Tapas Restaurant. Pricy, but worth it • Day Five: Drive to Coombs and check out whether the goats at the Old Country Market are still chomping the turf on the roof. Allow yourself to be diverted by funky knick-knacks on display at the adjoining arts and
craft shops. For an “aah” moment, drop by the World Parrot Refuge in Coombs. Even if you don’t know a parrot from a pigeon, this is a meltyour-heart experience. The inmates offer a raucous welcome — they are curious and adore visitors. Wendy Huntbatch who owns this “orphanage” for 800 sick or abandoned birds, will be happy to show you around. Call it a day in Comox — a small town with quiet charm. Be sure to explore the Filberg Heritage Lodge and Park with its rustic lodge, nine acres of flowering shrubs and West Coast cedars. The resident deer love posing for pictures. • Day Six: The scenery along the 40-minute
B.C. Ferry crossing from Saltery Bay to Earl’s Cove, is sheer West Coast panorama: Snow-peaked mountains, inlets threading between humped islands glimmering in the distance. The Sunshine Coast is an enchantment of dappled glades, winding trails, secret coves and small communities along the coastline. It is also home to a variety of handicrafts: Crystal, blown glass, wood carvings, pottery, paintings, woven rugs and shawls —just follow the Purple Banner signs along the way. Splurge on a sybaritic night’s stay at The Painted Boat’s Resort and Spa. Set amongst five acres of waterfront woodland at Madeira Park, it is the ultimate in luxury. Sip your glass of wine on the deck while listening to the plaintive cry of a loon wafting on the evening air. • Day Seven: Gibsons Landing’s claim to fame is the TV series The Beachcomers — and Molly’s Reach restaurant is still an iconic landmark in Lower Gibsons. Marine Drive boasts curio shops like the Waltzing Whippet and elegant galleries like the Spirit of Place and Gift of the Eagle. Among the town’s trendy little restaurants is Smitty’s Oyster House, where patrons sit elbow-to-elbow at their 27-foot spruce dockside table, while tucking into fresh oysters, mussels, clams and prawns. Cindy Buis of
Artworks Tours conducts walking tours around Lower Gibsons, and you’ll be beguiled by tales about the famous — and infamous — characters who once lived here. • Day Eight: The final leg on the tour takes you back to the mainland. Catch an evening ferry and watch the lights of West Vancouver spangle the dusk as you pull into Horseshoe Bay.
