Bus driver fired for trust breach By Tim Petruk STAFF REPORTER
tim@kamloopsthisweek.com
A male Kamloops school-bus driver has been fired for breach of trust after allowing a 15-year-old female student to spend nights at his house — and the 59-year-old is now fighting in court to keep in contact with the teen. Two weeks ago, Merv Hanson was named on a protective-

intervention order issued by the Ministry of Children and Family Development, barring him from having contact with the teen, who had been a regular passenger on his Sahali bus route. In court on Wednesday, June 13, the one-time Kamloops city council hope-
ful sought a judge’s approval to have the order overturned. Court heard testimony from social worker Dean Moore, who said he became involved in the situation on Feb. 24, 2012. “They [the girl’s parents] were concerned with Mr. Hanson’s relationship with their daughter,” Moore said. “The concern was that their daughter had met Mr. Hanson on the school bus and she started to spend more and more time with him.” Moore said the girl told him she was visiting Hanson for music lessons, which she said took place at Hanson’s house. “I asked her about the music lessons and how long they are,” Moore said. “She said sometimes they’re eight hours long. I was shocked that the lessons were that long.” The girl also admitted to Moore that she had spent the night at Hanson’s house. “At one point, I asked if she was involved in a sex relationship with Mr. Hanson,” Moore testified.

Kamloops cat killings mirror Lower Mainland mutilations Coquitlam, more than a dozen felines have died under suspicious circumstances since the beginning of May — many of them mutilated, some cut in half. “We are documenting anything of concern,” Kokoska told KTW. “We don’t want people to jump to any conclusions, but be vigilant.” Atlanta-based forensic veterinarian Melinda Merck has been brought in by the BCSPCA to help with the Lower Mainland investigations. Kokoska said he will be sending her evidence from the Kamloops incidents. “We’re still looking for further informa-

Investigators from the BCSPCA are looking into a pair of recent cat mutilations in the Tournament Capital — incidents similar to a wave of gruesome deaths in the Lower Mainland. SPCA Const. Kent Kokoska said the most recent discovery was made this past weekend in Valleyview, following a similar find in Aberdeen two weeks ago. It is believed both animals were cut in half.

tion,” he said. “Certainly, we would compare it to other investigations that are occurring.” Generally, Kokoska said, cat mutilations are a rarity in Kamloops. “It’s more common for unsightly incidents with natural predators,” he said. “Right now, we can only advise the general public to be vigilant with keeping their cats inside.” Kokoska said it’s also important to have a way of identifying pets — whether it’s through microchip or tattoo. He said neither of the animals found locally had identification.

Second public hearing for proposed strata project in Aberdeen By Andrea Klassen STAFF REPORTER andrea@kamloopsthisweek.com

Grisly discovery under motel floor The body of a Kamloops man missing since March has been found — and police say foul play is not suspected. A worker at the Tournament Inn in Valleyview found the body of Balwinder Singh Dhillon in a crawl space at the motel.
The 49-year-old was last seen on March 23. Investigators initially believed he’d fled to Surrey. The discovery was made over the noon hour on Monday, June 11, as a worker repaired flooring at the motel. Dhillon’s family operates the Tournament Inn.
When contacted by KTW, they asked for privacy. Kamloops RCMP Staff Sgt. Grant Learned said foul play has been ruled out in Dhillon’s death, but a cause of death has not yet been determined. The investigation is now in the hands of the B.C. Coroners Service.
Long-closed Tranquille Road overpass reopens today After more than a month of closure, the Tranquille Overpass was set to re-open to traffic this morning (June 14). The overpass at the north end of Overlanders Bridge was shut down on May 11 when an excavator being hauled by a truck clipped and cracked the concrete. At 7 a.m. today, city staff were to remove concrete barriers blocking access to the overpass, reopening it to morning commuter traffic. Getting the roadway open has taken

longer than expected because the city has filed a claim for the repair costs with ICBC. Contractors hired for the project also had some equipment troubles, which pushed back the opening date from Tuesday, June 12, to today. Retro Specialty Contractors needed more time for concrete used in the repairs to cure and reach the strength needed to bear the weight of traffic. Repair costs are just over $37,000, but the city may be recompensed by ICBC.
Just a week after the accident closed the overpass, businesses in the Tranquille Market shopping district along Tranquille Road told KTW sales were down. The overpass feeds traffic directly into the area. To help traffic access Tranquille Market without being forced north to the intersection of Tranquille Road, Fortune Drive and Eighth Street, city crews had removed left-turn restrictions for northbound vehicles at Fortune Drive and Fort Avenue and added a left-turn arrow.

A strata project next to Aberdeen elementary is getting a second shot at rezoning, following an appeal to Kamloops city council this week. Developer Craftsman Ventures wants a two-hectare lot at 2171 Van Horne Dr. rezoned from church to multi-family residential in order to build a mix of duplexes, triplexes and an apartment building. The previous version of the plan failed to get approval at a public hearing last month due to council concerns about its effect on slope stability in the area. It wasn’t popular with those living in the neighbourhood, either. More than 100 people attended the public hearing to protest the design, which they felt didn’t fit the character of the neighbourhood and would lead to people in the complex looking down into the backyards and bedrooms of those living downslope. However, Rob Gobelle of TRUE Consulting, who spoke on behalf of developers, showed council a new design for the project, which he said addresses both council and community concerns. Three triplexes in the northwest corner of the property have been axed altogether, while two other units originally set on the northern edge of the plot have been moved away from the homes below. Gobelle said the changes should make for a “much less imposing view for the people down below.” The closest property is now 29 metres away from property lines, instead of eight. The new plan will also include more screening and fencing and should allow developers to save some of the large trees at the edge of the property. “We feel these changes should address the neighbours’ concerns about setback distances and respectful buffering,” he said. With fewer units on the site, Gobelle said developers have reworked their storm- and groundwater systems for the site, using a more standard design. “Any concerns about surface runoff doing damage to houses down below, it just won’t happen,” he said. “These are standard tried-and-true methods to dealing with storm water.” Council voted unanimously to grant the project a new public hearing, which will likely be held in July. Had council not reconsidered its decision, Craftsman Ventures would have had to wait six months to reapply for rezoning.

Appeal for $50K fails Council rejects funding bid from seniors’ centre STAFF REPORTER andrea@kamloopsthisweek.com
An appeal to Kamloops council wasn’t enough to secure a seniors’ group $50,000 in funding that it says is critical to keeping its activity centre in the Brock Shopping Centre open for the rest of the year. Members of the Centre for Seniors Information asked council this week to reconsider what they said would be a one-time grant application. Alan Robertson, centre president, and director Ryan Scorgie said the group opened its new activity centre in February and is seeing 40 to 50 visitors per day. However, renovating the space used up much of the centre’s private donation fund, which hasn’t yet been replenished. In addition, some provincial funding the centre was expecting wasn’t renewed. While the centre has applied for a gaming grant from the province, Robertson said the group has to deliver a year’s worth of programming at the activity centre before it qualifies.
Money from the city would help cover rental costs until that funding kicks in. “We’re just asking for funds to be able to get to that position,� he said. While there is a reserve fund for the activity centre, Robertson said the group is hoping to use that money to develop more programs for users, rather than for rent. Robertson said the centre was designed based on seniors’ requests and has proved popular in part because it’s viewed as more independent than activity centers attached to seniors’ housing complexes. He also argued the centre is of value to the city because seniors who are social live longer and are more resistant to dementia. �Dignity is a lot more than money. It’s having a sense of purpose, It’s about people connecting to people,� he said. “It takes a place, a centre, to make that connection possible. “And to have that place requires funding.� Many councillors said the worth of the project wasn’t the issue. “We don’t have $50,000 in our budget to
bail out any operation, no matter how worthy they are,� said Tina Lange. “I think they have to come down with a different ask. “Maybe a smaller about of money.� Pat Wallace said the group should be encouraged to apply to the city next year before budget talks wrap up, with more information on how it plans to finance the centre. However, Wallace added, the centre will have to get through 2012 without city help. “I’d like to do something nice for them but, other than use my money out of my own wallet for them, I can’t,� she said. “They are worthy and it would be a wonderful facility, but we don’t have any money.� Ken Christian, one of several councillors who sits on the service agreement committee that rejected the centre’s initial grant request, said he hadn’t seen a “business case� for the centre, noting its initial application didn’t include enough information. Christian agreed with Wallace that the group should apply again next year.

LOCAL NEWS The Kamloops Showcase Community Garden is almost ready for local gardeners to begin sowing seeds in McDonald Park.

Old McDonald (Park) had a garden . . . By Andrea Klassen STAFF REPORTER andrea@kamloopsthisweek.com
It’s not every party that the hosts want you to play in the dirt. But, that’s the aim of an event being put on by Kamloops Communities in Bloom to celebrate the launch of the new Kamloops Showcase Community Garden. The new garden, located in McDonald Park, features plots for individual growers as well as a demonstration garden that will be used to teach the public — kids in particular — how to grow their own food. The first lesson comes on June 22 from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m., during the opening ceremony. “The garden will be partly planted, but part of the idea is to have it planted that day with all the children from the local schools,” explained Glenn Grant, Kamloops Communities in Bloom chairman. “So there will be a lot of planting going on when they get there. They’re going to see some ready-prepared garden beds that they’ll be planting all of the vegetables in.” The opening ceremony will also feature a barbecue, bicentennial games and activities. Food grown in the demonstration garden will go to the food bank, Interior Community Services and other organizations, said Grant. While Riverside Park was also considered to host the new garden, Grant said it ended up in the area where there’s
a greater need for fresh food. “It was the best fit,” he said. “I think most of the need for the produce that’s going to be grown in the garden is in that area.” Much of the funding for the garden came from Scotts Canada Ltd.’s Gro1000 campaign, which aims to fund the construction of 1,000 community gardens in North America
and Europe as part of the gardening product manufacturer’s 100-year anniversary. Kamloops is receiving the largest grant possible through the program ($5,000 in cash and the same amount in products). Scotts representative Karen Stephenson said that’s because of the city’s commitment to healthy green spaces and the emphasis
Communities in Bloom is placing on young gardeners. “I think it helps [kids] understand where their food comes from, understand the issues of a secure food source and be able to grow something themselves,” she said. To register for one of the new community garden spaces, contact Interior Community Services at 250-554-3132.

Stepping in when a brood of brats harasses a gaggle of geese
A
N ANIMAL LOVER called recently, upset about what started as a simple, single incident, but which has since morphed into a story that goes in many directions. There are many lessons to be learned from it, so it makes sense to share the tale. This woman was at Pioneer Park, one of many people enjoying the early-season sunshine, when she saw a group of kids throwing rocks and buckets and other things at a flock of geese. The gaggle of geese was trying to escape this brood of brats, albeit unsuccessfully, when the woman decided to intervene. She confronted them, told them their behaviour was inappropriate and ordered them to stop. Said bunch of brats — and I am not using the term loosely, as you will soon see — ran off in the direction of some adults who had been watching all of this unfold. The next thing the woman knows, one of the adults, a hulking male, confronts her, threatens her and yells at her that his kids can do whatever they want in the park. Here is where the lessons begin. First, what is wrong with a parent who sees nothing wrong with animal abuse? Next, not one other adult watching this scene stepped up to help the woman. Eventually, another younger woman came over and shared her ground in the face of the angry dad. A few days later, the woman, this time out with her young son biking
DALE BASS Street
LEVEL along the trail in Riverside Park, again came across a group of young teens throwing things at the geese there. Unfazed by her earlier experience, she again stopped and intervened, telling these punks to stop. This crew didn’t need big bad daddy to step up for them. They lipped off at her themselves, telling her what she could do and where she could go. Now determined to deal with this, the woman called the city’s bylaws department. Makes sense; they can roust homeless people out of Riverside Park, so they must be able to do something to remove animal abusers. Not their job, she was told as they redirected her to provincial conservation officers. The call went to the Victoria office, where she was told it wasn’t their problem. She was told to call the Canadian Wildlife Association. She called, this time reaching a sympathetic ear in the association’s Vancouver office who said there wasn’t much they could do about it
and told her to keep a log of the incidences and give it to the local RCMP. I had also suggested calling Kamloops Mounties police but, since I sit next to a police monitor every day and hear the time delays between calls being received and officers being sent to investigate, it’s likely a rescue-geese-from-teens call might not see the cruisers rolling immediately. I emailed the city’s parks, recreation and cultural services director, Byron McCorkell, to ask if having people sitting in our crown-jewel park watching thugs-in-the-making try to kill geese wasn’t bad for the tourism image. He was at a city council meeting, but had Jeff Putnam, who oversees the parks, call me back. Putnam said the geese are an issue and a wrangler had been hired to try to remove them — but, the reality is there will always be geese around. Putnam did say if he was ever in the park and saw what the woman had seen, he would step up and try to stop it, too. Which brings us to the final lesson: Lots of us go to waterfront parks. We must see this happening. Next time it does, don’t leave it to a short, slight woman to take a stand on her own. Teach these kids the lesson their parents apparently won’t — while they can still be taught.

The Conservative government is set to pass Bill C-38, an omnibus budget bill that includes amendments and changes to many statutes. This has prompted a massive backlash from a number of groups, notably environmental groups. One aspect of their protest was the voluntary blacking out of a number of websites on June 4. While some of their rhetoric is overblown, it is puzzling why a majority Conservative government feels it needs to proceed in this way. If it wishes to amend specific statutes, why not do so, without packaging a huge variety of changes in one bill? The Conservatives got used to doing this in their five years GUEST as a minority government. It was one way to keep at least one opposition party on side — put something in the budget bill that they wanted and they would vote for it. It was an understandable tactic. The government had to compromise to the degree it would propose legislation that one of its opponents would back. In fact, the Conservatives did have to go to the polls in 2008 and 2011 after it became clear no opposition party was willing to back them any longer. Now there is a majority government. No longer does the government have to keep one opposition party on side. And, that’s fine. The parliamentary system is an adversarial one, with government and opposition on different sides of almost every issue. That’s why such omnibus bills don’t seem to make sense. All they do is hamper the public from paying closer attention to what the government’s plans are and, at the same time, raise fears which, in many cases, are exaggerated or non-existent. If the government doesn’t want to spend too much time on any given bill, it can invoke closure. There is no longer any stigma about doing so and the public recognizes the need for the government to be able to enact its plans after there has been reasonable time for debate. It seems that, with some moves like this omnibus budget bill, the Conservatives are deliberately provoking their opponents. While there may be a desire for political vengeance, they need to remember their majority was granted to them by voters in 2011, only after a five-year testing period. That majority can easily be taken away by voters in the next election.

City needs to take overpass crash as a sign Editor: As Tranquille Road is a designated truck route, why has the Tranquille Road overpass never been marked with a height sign? It has been hit before and will be hit again, but a height sign would inform truckers. On other traffic matters, at Highway 5 and River Road is a sign
marking River Road and Lorne Street as a truck route. I’m waiting for the day in the near future when an out-of-town truck gets down to Third Avenue and Lorne Street, only to discover it’s not truckfriendly. I wonder how long before the city takes down that sign?
Local truckers know not to use it. There have been several discussions about this at city council Also, when is the city going to put a fence down the centre of the Summit Drive connector by Thompson Rivers University? International students may be academically smart but, prob-
ably because of the culture in their countries, they need lessons in traffic navigation. They are flirting with injury or death by crossing the connector away from crosswalks. I am also wondering how many more decades we will have to wait before the Ministry of Transportation deems it necessary to add a
second lane from where Highway 5 southbound meets Highway 1 westbound. Presently, the right lane exiting only into the city is causing a lot of confusion for nonresidents who, at the last second, have to cut into the left lane to continue west. Dennis Vollans Kamloops

So many items to make one shake their head in wonder Editor: I want to touch on a few topics covered in recent editions of Kamloops This Week. Thank you for your insight and for your words of wisdom, from top to bottom. On news that a disgraced Mountie has been transferred to B.C. from Alberta, I sometimes wonder what were they thinking. Why is B.C. good for their outcasts and why are we not refusing this transfer? There are RCMP officers suspended for years from work. They are having a holiday and a very long one, too, yet they
Peril in filter pre-purchase proposal?
are getting paid. How crazy is that? Someone please explain this to me. Last year, an escort in Kamloops gave the RCMP a very good tip about a pedophile. She set up the meeting and the pedophile was caught red-handed, visiting a motel room in which he believed a child was waiting. Yet the powers-that-be ruled her word was not good enough for testimony. Hello! What better way to get information from the street, as in that case? I want to thank her for caring. I agree with KTW’s editorial of June 5
Editor: The city has decided to pre-purchase replacement filters for the water-treatment centre. Taxpayers refitted our near-new garbage trucks several years ago to save money over purchasing new ones, only to find they wouldn’t work and we had to buy new trucks anyway. I can see so many troubling potential issues with the plan to prepurchase replacement filters.
(“RCMP completes another bad move’). There are honest, good and brave men and women in the RCMP and we know it. We thank them for the work they do. Meanwhile, Riverside Park is so beautiful, but unsafe. How about putting up security cameras? Remember the little boy who was taken a few years ago while playing in the park? His parents were close by and the boy was saved. Keep an eye on the little ones this summer. Alvida van Zyl Kamloops
I doubt it’s worth the risk to taxpayers. If, two years from now when the filters go into service, they leak, don’t fit or don’t perform properly, there would likely be no warranty and taxpayers would be out of pocket to replace them again. Council needs to look to the past when trying to save money. Kim Young Kamloops

King Street has been a royal model By Tim Petruk STAFF REPORTER tim@kamloopsthisweek.com
A recently opened North Kamloops clinic aimed at helping people hampered by mental-health and substance-abuse issues is being looked at as a potential model for future facilities across B.C. Since it opened last November, the King Street clinic has seen more than 700 clients pass through its doors — patients who speak with doctors about issues ranging from
rehabilitation to chronic-disease management to smoking cessation, among others. A joint venture between the Interior Health Authority and the Thompson Region Division of Family Practice, the clinic helps clients who would otherwise struggle to receive health care. “The process has included collaboration between psychiatry, the Division of Family Practice and Interior Health’s mental-health and substance-use program staff,” said
Back by popular demand for 2012
Shirley Sze, physician lead for the Thompson Division of Family Practice. “It is the enthusiasm of all the parties involved that have made King Street a true multi-disciplinary clinic serving patients who may have never received primary care.” The King Street model — touted as a “collaborative, multidisciplinary clinic” — is now being looked at for other B.C. communities. “This is a great example of integration at work,” said Norman
Embree, the Interior Health Authority’s board chairman. “The staff and physicians involved have developed a diverse range of services to make sure we are providing the right care at the right time and in the right place.” The King Street clinic is staffed by a general-practice physician. There are also weekly sessions with a street nurse. In addition, clients can access life-skills education, counselling and pharmacy services.
It is, in effect, a communal family doctor for people with mental-health and substance-abuse issues. “We know that a large proportion of this population don’t have a family doctor they can turn to for care,” said Kamloops-
North Thompson Liberal MLA Terry Lake. “We also know that, for a for a variety of reasons, many of them have complex health needs that really require consistent monitoring and management.”

THEM’S THE BREAKS — YET AGAIN City water crews work to repair a water main break on Pacific Way at the corner of Howe Road on Wednesday, June 13. The failure shut off water to homes and the trailer park west of Pacific Way for up to 12 hours. It also meant no fire protection during that time. The water-main break is the second in the area in the past seven months, as a November incident led to vehicles sliding on icy streets caused by the ruptured line. City crews are working to determine why the incident has occurred in the same place twice Dave Eagles/KTW

Hanson has not been criminally charged X From A1
“She said no, she wasn’t,� Moore testified, noting he spoke with RCMP and officials from the Kamloops-Thompson school district. Court heard the school district’s report on Hanson was completed on March 2. According to Moore, the girl said she felt neglected by her father. But, he stressed, no allegations of abuse were made by her regarding her family. Moore said the girl’s parents contacted Hanson prior to the involvement of the authorities, asking him to stop having contact with their daughter. “I don’t think he agreed to stop,� Moore said. KamloopsThompson school district superintendent Terry Sullivan said he couldn’t talk about Hanson’s file, but confirmed “the person with that name is no longer employed by the district.� Sullivan said the district has no code of conduct policy in place for bus drivers. “We couldn’t possibly list all the behaviours,� he said. “What we do is if somebody alleges that a behaviour is inappropriate we would investigate, and what action we took would be based on what was uncovered in the course of our investigation.� In an interview with KTW, Hanson said no sexual allegations had been made with respect to the 15-year-old student. He said she stayed at his house for about four nights. He did, however, say he has previously been accused of sexual misconduct with a youth. He would not go into detail. In court, the
15-year-old girl sat with Hanson throughout the proceedings. When court took a break, Hanson asked the judge if the girl could go with him for lunch. The judge said no. Hanson ran unsuccessfully for a spot on Kamloops city council in 2008. At the time, he told KTW he volunteers extensively with youth. The hearing in Kamloops provincial court ran past KTW press time. Both Hanson and the 15-year-old girl are expected to take the stand. Hanson has not been charged crimi-
nally. Go online to kamloopsthisweek.com for updates.
FLASHBACK In April 2011, another KamloopsThompson school district bus driver in Clearwater was charged criminally after a student claimed she was molested. He was suspended by the district, but not fired. After a trial in provincial court, he was found not guilty. A district investigation cleared the driver and he was allowed to return to work.

The wheels are slowly beginning to turn on one of last election’s campaign promises. Kamloops council agreed this week to strike a mayor’s task force to study the feasibility of building a new performing-arts centre in the city. The centre was one of Mayor Peter Milobar’s campaign plans during the November municipal elections. At the time, he told media he envisioned a 1,100-seat venue in the $40-million range, possibly built in North Kamloops or in the downtown area.
City signs new transit agreement The cost of transit in the city is going up again, but city staff say the changes coming with the costs should benefit riders. Kamloops city council has signed off on a new operating agreement, as well as a nine-year contract with transit provider First Canada ULC, which will see two new transit supervisors added to its staff. City transit planner Erin Felker said the supervisors will work with drivers on customer service, hear rider complaints and

CITY HALL make sure buses are arriving at and leaving stops at their scheduled times. In case of a breakdown or traffic congestion, they will also be able to reroute buses on the fly to keep the system running. The new contract adds another $17,000 to this year’s transit budget, which will be paid out of last year’s surplus, $115,000 more in 2013 and $300,000 more in 2014. Council has also agreed to extend evening service on routes 10 and 16 and increase handyDART hours to 10 p.m. to accommodate renal patients at Royal Inland Hospital.
Cost at Mac Isle gets an unwanted lift The City of Kamloops will have to shell out nearly $400,000 more than budgeted to replace the sanitary lift station at MacArthur Island Park this year.

Father’s Day walk for Prostate Cancer expected to be busy Organizers are hoping for a big turnout for the fifth annual Safeway Father’s Day Walk/ Run for Prostate Cancer, taking place on Sunday, June 17, at the B.C. Wildlife Park. Park general manager Glenn Grant said registration will open at 8 a.m., with the run/ walk itself kicking off at 9 a.m. “It’s just going to be a fun event to raise money and awareness for prostate cancer,” he said. Radio NL’s Peter Olsen will also be on hand to present a cheque to the Prostate Cancer Foundation of B.C. Olsen, himself a prostatecancer survivor, has been raising money in recent months with his Peter’s Pennies for Prostate campaign on NL’s airwaves. Grant said the event has grown in recent years.
R U O Y FOR K O LO
“We started out with about 40 or 50 [participants] and last year we had 90,” he said. “This year, I hope it’s substantially more “It’s slowly getting better as the years progress.” Participants will complete six laps of the park’s paved loop, working out to five kilometres. Also at the B.C. Wildlife Park on Sunday, Grant said, will be the annual Father’s Day celebration featuring a barbecue, bouncy castles and paintball target shooting, in addition to the regular wildlife encounters and miniature train rides. “Even though it’s Father’s Day, all the events are geared toward kids,” he said. The Father’s Day celebration, sponsored by Surplus Herby’s, is slated to kick off at 9:30 a.m. Grant said the walk/run should be over at about 10 a.m.

LIBERTY APPY HOUR
SMILE! YOUR PAD IS ON GOOGLE MAPS The Google Street View car has been seen throughout Kamloops this month. Google Street View is a technology featured in Google Maps and Google Earth that provides panoramic views from positions along many streets in the world. It was launched on May 25, 2007, in several cities in the United States and has since expanded to include cities and rural areas worldwide. Google Street View displays panoramas of stitched images taken from a fleet of specially adapted cars. Areas not accessible by car, such as pedestrian areas, narrow streets, alleys and ski resorts, are sometimes covered by Google Trikes (tricycles) or snowmobiles. On each of these vehicles are nine directional cameras for 360-degree views at a height of about 8.2 feet (2.5 metres), GPS units for positioning and three laser range scanners from Sick AG for measuring of up to 50 metres 180 degrees in the front of the vehicle.

One more day for Pennies for Prostate Radio NL and sister stations The River and Country 103 have teamed up with CIBC and The Prostate Cancer Foundation of B.C. for Peter’s Pennies for Prostate — and the fundraising event ends on Friday, June 15. Radio NL morning host Peter Olsen is a prostate-cancer survivor. Residents of Kamloops and the region are being asked to donate their pennies before they go out of circulation to a CIBC branch in Kamloops or any area branch. All donations will go to the Prostate Cancer Foundation of B.C. to create awareness about the disease, to assist those with prostate cancer and to help find a cure. Prostate cancer is the second-leading cause of cancer death in Canadian men, behind lung cancer. It is the secondleading cause of male cancer deaths, with a fatality rate of about 25 per cent. Prostate cancer afflicts men 45 years of age and older, with the incidence increasing with age.

Sleep is exercise for the brain
I
N THE PAST two weeks, a number of new findings about the importance of sleep have been announced, and the sheer number of research results all coming out at this time — the longest days of the year — seem to saying “Pay attention!” So, here is a summary of what we learned just this week: If you get enough sleep — six hours or more — researchers have found you are more likely to pass up unhealthy food choices the next day. For some reason, sleepy people use a much poorer judgment in their food choices. An experiment using healthy volunteers shows people who are deprived of sleep experience changes in their brains that make them more likely to eat a cheese-
burger than healthier foods. When these people have enough sleep, it is like their “healthprotection” section of the brain wakes up and the subjects made better choices. If you want to lose weight and be healthier — sleep! Even scarier, those who habitually sleep less than six hours a night seem to be at risk of developing symptoms that predict future risk of a stroke, according to researchers at the annual meeting of the Associated Professional Sleep Societies. In the experiment, participants with normal body-mass indices who slept less than six hours a night had a 4.5-fold increased risk
of having stroke-like symptoms, compared to similar individuals who got 8 to 9 hours of sleep a night. So, if lack of sleep causes people to gain weight, make unhealthy food choices and increases the risk of diabetes and stroke, what is next? Well, it seems nighttime noises in hospitals that contribute to the poor sleep patients often report seems to hurt healing in the patients who need it most. In a laboratory sleep study, recorded hospital sounds of overhead paging, IV alarms, squeaky carts and the like disrupted sleep and raised heart rates, one of the signs of increased anxiety and stress.
Electronic sounds such as ringing phones or IV alarms were the most potent in arousing sleepers. These beeps, buzzes and tones disrupted the normal sleep brain-wave patterns more than half of the time, even when set at their quietest settings. At the same time, hospital-staff conversations and voice paging at a level of 50 decibels (which is quieter than a normal conversation) disrupted sleep half of the time. The modern hospital can be bad for your health in many, many ways, and the general public often perceives short hospital stays after surgery as a sign of bad health care, whereas in reality, the shorter the hospital stay — only as long as necessary — shows better outcomes. Responsible doc-
tors who care about patients get them out of hospitals as soon as safely possible; doctors who keep patients for longer than average terms are often motivated by factors other than their patients’ health. In any event, hospitals are bad for your sleep and, as we have seen from three studies released in the last few days, poor sleep is very bad for your health. This kind of news can make you grateful for a boring sermon, lecture or friend — we are always looking for the silver lining. Thanks for caring about your mental health and for taking care of it, too! If you have questions or comments, write to us at kamloops@ cmha.bc.ca because it is always great to hear from you.

Airport busier, more colourful Passenger traffic at Kamloops Airport continues to increase. The airport reported a six per cent jump in the number of bodies passing through the terminal in May, compared to May 2011, with 20,777 travellers compared to 19,474 in May of last year. Through the first five months of 2012, Kamloops Airport has seen 115,840 travellers use the facility, a five per cent increase from the 109,951 travellers who passed through to the end of May 2011. “Growth continues in both business and leisure travel sectors, with a new type of traveler for Kamloops — the migrant worker,’ said Fred Legace, the airport’s managing director. “People are choosing to live in Kamloops and work in Alberta. With good connectivity, this is a growing group as well.” Legace added that new planters installed by Lyons Landscaping have added colour to the airport, while incorporating a reservoir system to help the plants survive city summers.

How can timber supply in BC’s central interior be increased? Forests make up nearly two thirds of the province and are an important economic, social and environmental resource in the lives of many British Columbians. Over the last 13 years the outbreak of mountain pine beetle has affected an estimated 18.1 million hectares of forest throughout BC. The effects of the infestation continue to present major challenges to the forest industry and communities in BC’s central interior. The all-party Special Committee on Timber Supply was appointed by the Legislative Assembly of British Columbia to examine and make recommendations to address the loss of mid-term timber supply in the central interior. Specifically, the committee must consider recommendations that could increase timber supply. A discussion paper describing the issue and outlining possible options is available online to inform and focus public input. The committee will be holding a public hearing in Kamloops on Thursday, July 12. British Columbians may also participate by sending a written submission, or a video or audio file. The deadline for public input is Friday, July 20, 2012. For more information, including meeting dates, locations and times of public hearings and to view the discussion paper, please visit our website at: www.leg.bc.ca/timbercommittee OR CONTACT:

GLOBAL VIEWS
Once again, we are all (yawn) doomed!
T
HE forthcoming United Nations Conference on Sustainable Development in Rio de Janeiro (Rio+20), from June 20 to June 22, has brought out the usual warnings of environmental doom. They have been greeted with the usual indifference; after all, there are seven billion of us now and we’re all still eating. What could possibly go wrong? The UN Environment Program published its five-yearly Global Environmental Outlook (GEO-5), noting significant progress has been made on only four of 90 environmental goals adopted at the Rio Earth Summit in 1992. “If current patterns of production and consumption of natural resources prevail,” warned UNEP head Achim Steiner, “then governments will preside over unprecedented levels of damage and degradation.” Yawn. Meanwhile, a team of respected scientists warn that life on Earth may be on the way to an irreversible tipping point. Sure. Heard that one before, too. This month, one of the world’s two leading scientific journals, Nature, published a paper, Approaching a state shift in Earth’s biosphere, pointing out that more than 40 per cent of Earth’s land is already
GWYNNE DYER World WATCH used for human needs. With the human population set to grow by a further two billion by 2050, that figure could soon exceed 50 per cent. Here’s how bad it could get: The scientific consensus is that we are still on track for 3 C of warming by 2100, but that’s just warming caused by human greenhouse-gas emissions. The problem is that an extra 3 C is well past the point at which major feedbacks kick in — natural phenomena triggered by our warming, like melting permafrost and the loss of Arctic sea-ice cover, that will add to the heating and that we cannot turn off. The trigger is actually around 2 C higher average global temperature. After that, we lose control of the process as end ing our own carbondioxide emissions would no longer be enough to stop the warming. We may end up trapped on an escalator heading up to plus-6 C, with no way of getting off. And, another 6 C
gives us mass extinction. There have been five mass extinctions in the past 500 million years, when 50 per cent or more of the species on Earth vanished. But, until recently, the only people taking any interest in this were paleontologists, not climate scientists. They did wonder what had caused the extinctions, but the best answer they could come up was “climate change.” Why would a warmer or colder planet kill off all those species? The warming was caused by massive volcanic eruptions dumping huge quantities of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere for tens of thousands of years. But, it was very gradual and the animals and plants had plenty of time to migrate to climatic zones that still suited them. There had to be a more convincing kill mechanism than that, and paleontologists found one when they discovered a giant asteroid struck the planet 65 million years ago, just at the time when the dinosaurs died out in the most recent of the great extinctions. So, they went looking for evidence of huge asteroid strikes at the time of the other extinction events —

and found none. They discovered there was indeed major warming at the time of all the other extinctions — and that the warming had radically changed the oceans. The currents that carry oxygen-rich cold water down to the depths shifted so they were bringing down oxygenpoor warm water instead. Gradually, the depths of the oceans became anoxic and deep waters no longer had oxygen. When that happens, the sulfur bacteria that normally live in the silt (because oxygen is poison to them) come out of hiding and begin to multiply. Eventually, they rise all the way to the surface over the whole ocean, killing all oxygen-breathing life. Don’t let it worry you. We’ll all be safely dead long before it could happen again. The earliest possible date for a mass extinction, assuming the theory is right and we continue on our present track with emissions, would be well into the next century. The only problem is things like this tend to become inevitable long before they actually happen. Tick, tock.

ANTONIO “TONY” IADAROLA It is with heavy hearts that we announce that Antonio Iadarola passed from this world to the next on June 10th, 2012, with his loving family at his bedside. He is survived by his devoted wife Rosa, and his children Osvaldo “Ozzie” (Darlene) Iadarola, and Maria (Russell) Cundari. Antonio always took great pleasure in his grandchildren: Nicholas (Vicky) Iadarola, Laura Cundari (Kinji Bourchier), Daniel Iadarola, Nick Cundari, Jenny Cundari, and Andrew Iadarola. He is also survived by his only brother Cresenzio “Chris” Iadarola and many nieces and nephews. Antonio was predeceased by his mother Maria Iadarola. Born on May 29th, 1928 in Fragneto Monforte, Benevento, Italy, Antonio led a hard life which made him determined to achieve a better life for himself and his family. In 1951, at 23 years of age, without any knowledge of English and only a small wooden suitcase, he crossed the Atlantic to what he hoped was the promised land of Canada. A job with the CPR awaited him at Albert Canyon, a little hamlet outside of Revelstoke in one of the most dangerous stretches of rail in Canada. With snow so deep that he often dug tunnels from his home to get to work, the wilderness and weather of Canada did not deter him from learning English, being promoted, and eventually saving enough money to marry and bring his lifelong spouse Rosa to Canada. Their love was enduring and would have reached 59 years of marriage this August. Remembering his own difficulties, Tony helped bring over many relatives to this country and helped them with language, technical issues such as getting a drivers’ licence, finding jobs and even settling family problems. Antonio was respected and trusted because of his intelligence and unwavering views of right and wrong. He had little use for those who took liberties with the law, and was intensely proud of his Italian heritage. Always ambitious, Antonio left the railway and purchased his first store in 1963. Eventually he built a large supermarket on Tranquille Road. Everyone knew Tony’s International Supermarket as a place you could buy the best deli meats and cheeses, grapes for wine, imported foods, music and gifts. His store quickly became a meeting place for many Italians and other European immigrants. He was always generous and loyal to family and friends. He extended credit to many families who had difficulty getting started, by simply writing their name on the sales slip and putting it in a drawer. Even after he retired in 1993, to his comfortable home overlooking the meeting of the rivers and downtown, he continued to maintain a keen intellect and read widely on health, nutrition and current events.

JOHN DEER (BEAUCHAMP) It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of our Dad and Nampa. On Monday, June 11, 2012 John Randolph Deer (Beauchamp) with loved ones by his side passed away peacefully at the Royal Inland Hospital, Kamloops at the age of 69 years. He is survived by his three sons Darryl (Beverly) Beauchamp and Ryan (Rolanda) Beauchamp both of Kamloops and Neil (Rhonda Mobley) Beauchamp of Kelowna; five grandchildren Jamie-John, Tristen, Connor, Emily and Aaden; his brother George of Montreal and two sisters Jean and Nicole better known as Nikki of LaSalle, QUE. and many nieces, nephews and friends. John was born on August 25, 1942 in Kahnawake, Quebec to parents Henri and Margaret. John and his wife at that time Judy along with sons Darryl and Ryan decided in 1969 that the west coast was the place to be and packed up and moved to Vancouver, a real pioneer move you might say. Almost immediately dad began his city bus driving career with BC Hydro in Vancouver and later in Kamloops, a career that span 35 plus years. We have all heard that John was a natural at his job because of the joy he got from talking, joking and laughing with any friendly rider he picked up even if it was the first and only time they were to meet. In retirement John enjoyed his time with friends having coffee and visiting. Also riding his bike and going for a walk. Dad was a fun loving; simple and uncompromising man that did not live life as it owed him anything and for better or worse lived his life on his own terms. We will miss him dearly everyday until the day comes when we can join him and once again share in his infectious laughter. The family wishes to express their gratitude towards the nurses and doctors at the Royal Inland Hospital for their honesty, care, patients and above all compassion in caring for John and his family during their time of need. A Celebration of John’s life will be held on Saturday, June 16, 2012 from 1:00 to 5:00 p.m. at 2532 Sandalwood Drive (250 – 579 – 9749)
Condolences may be expressed at www.schoenings.com
In lieu of flowers should friends desire, donations to the Heart & Stroke Foundation, 203 – 635 Victoria Street, Kamloops, BC. V2C 2B3 in memory of John would be appreciated.

FEW WORMBURNERS won’t break Roger Sloan’s concentration. The 25-year-old Canadian Professional Golf Tour sharpshooter from Merritt is looking forward to joining forces with lesser talent at the Sun Rivers Resort Pro-Am, which gets underway today (June 14). “It’s not a distraction, it’s just a different element you have to get used to,” said Sloan, who is coming off a 10th place finish
after KTW’s press deadline. The pro-am teams will compete among each other in a betterball format. The amateurs will also be going head-tohead individually, with prizes on the line for low-net and low-gross winners. Sloan’s season has been highlighted thus far by a win at the Bay Oaks Golf Open, an Adams Golf Pro Tour Series event that wrapped up on May 26 in Houston. The Merritt secondary graduate pulled in about $12,000 for his play. He also placed second at the eGolf
at the Times Colonist Island Savings Open in Victoria last weekend. “It would be a different story if you’re playing a regular tour event, but you know what you have to deal with.” This week’s pro-am is listed as an unofficial stop on the Canadian Tour. The prize money on offer for professionals — there is a total purse of about $10,000 in the 36-hole stroke-play championship — will not count toward their Canadian Tour winnings. Each pro was paired with one amateur at a draw held on Wednesday, June 13,
Professional Tour’s season-opening event, the Palmetto Hall Championship in South Carolina. Second-best in that event paid $15,105. “I’ve actually been quite excited about my season,” said Sloan, who placed fifth on the Canadian Tour’s Order of Merit last season, raking in $49,788.93. “I had a lot of success last year and it’s easy to become complacent with some of your practice routines, but I’ve been really dedicated to improving.” Golf fans in Kamloops will remember Sloan’s win last summer at the Western
ur Get Yo ts Ticke Now
Championship, a nowdefunct Canadian Tour event held at Rivershore Estates and Golf Links. Perhaps another taste of 45-minutesfrom-home cooking will spur the local favourite to victory. Sloan, who is playing Sun Rivers this week for the first time since he was a junior, is looking forward to a test he likely wouldn’t get on tour. “It brings more of a resort flare, with different shots out there you normally wouldn’t see on a typical tournament golf course,” he said. “It looks a lot different with all the residential community, but it’s a great track.”

The British Columbia Intercollegiate Hockey Leagueâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s (BCIHL) annual general meeting earlier this month in Castlegar produced some big changes, many of which affect the TRU WolfPack. League governors decided to ditch the playoff-tournament
format and implement playoff rounds consisting of three-game series. Also nixed are regular-season tie games, which will now
The paddle in Seattle The Kamloops Canoe and Kayak Club sent several of its members to the Ted Houk Memorial Regatta in Seattle earlier this month.

Keiffer Johnson earned five gold medals and one silver medal in menâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s open and juvenile-junior division racing. Brook McLean won four gold medals, two silver and one bronze.

Mark Klevinas racked up three gold medals, one bronze and one silver in the menâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s open division.
Red Sox beaten The Kamloops Minor Baseball Association bantam Red Sox travelled to Kelowna on Saturday, June 9, losing 11-10 in a nailbiter. Mathew Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Laney started on the mound for the Red Sox. Relief pitchers Marcus Pratt and Nick Heinemann shut Kelowna down, allowing one run over
be decided via 4-on-4 overtime or, if needed, a shootout. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The adoption of a playoffs and the addition of overtime and shootouts are exciting developments for our fans and athletes,â&#x20AC;? BCIHL president Kim Verigin said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was positive to see our teams working together to overcome a number of logistical challenges and move
forward with these changes.â&#x20AC;? League governors also approved a rule that allows BCIHL squads to have junior B affiliates. Junior B clubs, such as the Kamloops Storm of the Kootenay International Junior Hockey League, can loan players to BCIHL squads, such as the WolfPack, for up to four games.

The junior B players that suit up for their affiliate club must be enrolled in at least one course at the affiliate clubâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s institution, said Chris Hans, the WolfPackâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s general manager.

‘Dogs going to all-star game Three Kamloops RiverDogs have been selected to play in the B.C. Minor Baseball Association midget AAA all-star game. Outfielder James Arko, middle infielder Blayne Halland and catcher Dylan Luison
The Kamloops Classic Swimming team was dynamite at the 20th annual Kamloops June Classic, which wrapped up on Sunday, June 10, at the Canada Games Aquatic Centre. Kamloops won the meet, picking up 69 medals. Highlighting the day for the Classics was the performance of Dylana Milobar, who won gold medals in the 50- and 100-metre breaststroke events, setting club records in the process. Her times in those swims, both in the girls’ 15-and-over category, were good enough to cement her place at the senior national championships in July in Edmonton. Megan Dalke, in the 14-and-under girls’ division, won gold medals in the 200- and 400metre freestyle races and set club records in the 50-metre fly and 400-metre individual medley, finishing second in both events. Ben Branchflower won the 50-metre freestyle eliminator and qualified for the Canadian Age Group Championships (CAGC), held in July in
Calgary. He also qualified to compete at the CAGC in the 100-metre fly. In the 14-and-under boys’ division, Carel Ackermann won the 50and 200-metre breaststroke races, establishing a club record in the 50-metre breaststroke. Colin Gilbert, in the 14-and-under boys’ division, won three silver medals and three bronze on the weekend, setting a new club record in the 200-metre butterfly. The 10-and-under girls’ freestyle and medley relay team, composed of Sarah Koopmans, Ashley Bagabuyo, Julia Jensen, Keana Smart and Meghan Neilson, swam to a first-place finish in the medley relay with a time of 2:54.88, falling just short of a longstanding Classic record. Koopmans placed first in the 10-and-under girls’ 50-metre butterfly, tying a club record with a time of 39.22. Marina Ellison won a gold medal in the 200-metre freestyle and a silver medal in the 200-metre fly. Paetyn Freeze won bronze medals in the
100- and 200-metre freestyle races. Joshua Ogilvie earned a bronze medal in the 200-metre individual medley. Austin Phillips won a gold medal in the 100-metre freestyle and silver medals in the 50-, 100- and 200metre fly races, and the 200-metre individual medley. Olivia McKay achieved a AAA provincial qualifying time, while Tanner Douglas and Natasha Harris reached AA provincial qualifying times. The provincials will be held in Victoria from June 22 to June 24.
be comprised of 14 players. Game time is 3 p.m. A talent identification camp for a midget AAA select team that will represent B.C. at nationals in Quebec City in August will be held on Saturday
morning. Jordan Kealty, Kyle Pouncy and Tyler Cousineau of Kamloops will be in attendance. Sean Wandler, head coach of the RiverDogs, is one of Team B.C.’s coaches.

Encarnacion a slugging surprise
I
F YOU’RE A Major League Baseball player with a need for career rejuvenation, the Toronto Blue Jays might be the team to join. Edwin Encarnacion is slugging his way to MLB fame with the Blue Jays in a fashion similar to how Jose Bautista in 2010 suddenly became one of the game’s most feared sluggers. This year, Encarnacion is following a similar script. With a fairly decent career behind him with the Cincinnati Reds, Encarnacion never had a season home-run total exceeding 25. So far in 2012, he is among the American League leaders in fourbase clouts and is on pace to surpass 50 — Bautista country. Is it something in the Toronto water? Whatever the reason, Blue Jays’ fans are enjoying the turnaround by the Jays’ designated hitter. Toronto is extremely competitive in the A.L. East, a few games over .500 in late May and involved in a terrific division battle involving all five teams. Pre-season previews of the Jays rarely even mentioned Encarnacion. Pundits raved about the team’s pitching, led by Ricky Romero, and the offense led by Bautista and Canadian Brett Lawrie, who was entering his first full season. Suddenly, enter Edgar. Boom! Crash! Wham! John Lott of the National Post said Encarnacion made two swing changes of consequence since last year. He keeps both hands on the bat during his follow through instead of letting go with his left hand. And, wrote Lott, he has tried to eliminate the high leg-kick he once used to set up his swing. Encarnacion hit 38 homers in the two seasons prior to 2012.
BRUCE PENTON From PRESS ROW The Jays say they thought he had enough pop in his bat to be a 25- to 30-homer guy. Even they were shortchanging their expectations. The 29-year-old Dominican might cool down as the season goes on, but the same things were said about Bautista during his breakout year, too. At the end of May, Encarnacion was tied for second in A.L. homers with 17 and was second in runsbatted-in with 43. Surprises are always part of professional sports teams. The Jays have had the bad (Adam Lind, who slumped so badly this year the Jays released the veteran first baseman) and they’ve definitely had the good (Bautista two years ago and now Encarnacion). For the Jays, it just might add up to an exceptionally nice surprise this October. • R.J Currie of sportsdeke.com: “The NY Post reports Rex Ryan has lost 90 pounds. But enough about his ego.” • Dwight Perry of the Seattle Times, on all the MLB injuries this year: “Carl Crawford ... Jacoby Ellsbury ... Roy Halladay ... Chipper Jones ... Matt Kemp ... Evan Longoria ... Mariano Rivera ... Troy Tulowitzki ... Jered Weaver ... So who will trot out the most impressive All-Star lineup come July 10 — AL, NL or DL?” • Mike Bianchi of the Orlando Sentinel: “Three things I’d rather watch on TV other than the Dolphins on ‘Hard Knocks’: (1) WNBA draft (2) PBS documentary on Al Gore
A35
(3) The Pirates-Brewers replay. • Comedy writer Jerry Perisho: “Former Major League pitcher Mike Boddicker testified he saw Roger Clemens being injected in the buttocks with vitamins. And that, my friends, is the reason Clemens never got scurvy while pitching in the big leagues.” • Comedy writer Jim Barach: “Johan Santana pitched the first no-hitter in New York Mets history. Apparently he was able to do it by imagining he was pitching against the Mets.” • Another one from Currie: “Pau Gasol reportedly wants out of L.A. to join Chicago. Not the only Spaniard to want to run with the bulls.” • Currie again: “Dominik Hasek, 47, reportedly wants back into the NHL. When (MLB pitcher) Jamie Moyer heard about it, he said ‘Give the kid a chance.’ “ • Scott Ostler of the San Francisco Chronicle: “If you are a person who whines, ‘C’mon, refs, let the players decide the game,’ next time you are the victim of a crime, don’t call the cops. Work it out with the criminal.” • Jeff’s Rule, from Ostler’s column: “No TV announcer may use the phrase ‘New York football Giants.’ By now all of us are pretty clear that the New York baseball Giants moved to San Francisco.” • At TheOnion.com: “Quaint English village bulldozed to make room for quaint English Olympic village.” • Brad Dickson of the Omaha (Neb.) World-Herald, on Barry Bonds’s desire to work for the Giants in some capacity: “Baseball executives said Bonds will be welcomed back with open arms, just as soon as the commissioner can find jobs for the 1919 Chicago Black Sox.” Care to comment?

Art lives in Beattie classrooms X From B1
The school at 1390 Ninth Ave. has about 200 students in grades 8 to 12. A tour of it is fascinating. I saw students participating in an English class illustrating this non-standard approach to teaching a decidedly standard subject. Broken into smaller groups, some were working through their assignments by writing songs, some creating sculptures and others doing drawings — yet all relating back to the assigned topic. I saw students getting their daily exercise in a dance class rather than running laps in P.E. And, why not? It looked like a lot of fun and a good work out. One of the key elements Beattie’s methodology is teaching students to think independently. They are encouraged to develop skills that will put them on the path of self-discovery and
independent study. Self-regulation skills are also emphasized with the goal that the students will in the end be self-motivated and be able to work independently. Principal Barb Hamblett said: “I think that anything that really promotes you to talk about how you feel and how you view the world builds confidence, which is something that we can all use. “It really promotes taking risks, to try something different, to go to someplace different, to try new jobs, to think about something else that no one else has thought about and to present those ideas.” During a break, I chatted with Grade 11 student Jamie Oetter. “I chose Beattie because it’s fun to integrate the arts throughout the day,” she said. “So, instead of doing science work reading the textbook, I get to sing songs about science and it helps me memorize it a lot better.” Jamie still remem-
bers singing a song in the science lab that helped her remember all the rules they had for the safety regulations. Phys-ed wasn’t her favourite class, so now she dances for exercise. Beattie School of the Arts is situated on
two campuses. For more information on the school, go online to its website at beattie.sd73.bc.ca. Karla Pearce is the owner of the Karla Pearce Art Gallery in downtown Kamloops.

Cloran said he was “really excited to see the reaction to it, not just critically, but the letters and emails from people who saw it.” He noted subscriptions for the upcoming season have been selling well, with many people saying they were impressed by the season — and, in particular, Ubuntu — and want to see more. “Our primary audience and responsibility will always be Kamloops,” Cloran said, “but we’re also getting the WCT name out around the province and country. He’s also brought colleagues from other theatres into Kamloops and said the WCT family has been excited “to be working with some of the best from around the country” who have not made the trip to the Interior before. For example, Michael Walton, lighting designer for last year’s Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat, “fit us in between ending
his season at Stratford [the Stratford Festival] and heading to the New York Met.” Colleagues he has brought in have returned to their hometowns praising WCT, Cloran said, again adding to

Daryl Cloran learned of Western Canada Theatre’s existence while sitting in an audience in Toronto in 2010, waiting to see Where the Blood Mixes. Just months later, the Toronto-based director had been hired as WCT artistic director and, in that capacity, he is determined to continue to boost the theatre’s national profile. Ironically, one of the ways that will happen is through the Kevin Loring play he was watching, one that WCT was involved in creating, but has never produced. It’s on the schedule for the 2013 season — and, once it’s been staged in Kamloops, it will be sent out to Vernon, Kelowna, Chilliwack, Edmonton and Hamilton. Cloran is particularly delighted the play will be seen at Theatre Aquarius in Hamilton, one of the biggest theatres in the country. “To have a play by a First Nations playwright from our area seen there, that’s such a vote of confidence for what we are creating,” Cloran said from Toronto. Where the Blood Mixes will also be seen in other communities in the province and The Importance of Being Earnest, also part of the upcoming WCT season, will be going to Edmonton’s Persephone Theatre, a new partner for WCT. Cloran is in Ontario, heading to a theatre near his hometown in the southwestern part of the province, where he will direct For the Pleasure of Seeing Her Again, a play that was part of the WCT 2011-2012 season. Ubuntu: The Cape Town Project, is another production Cloran was deeply involved in, creating it with a South African theatre group. After bringing it to Kamloops earlier this year, it was also sent on the road, being produced in Vernon, Chilliwack and Burnaby. Before coming to

MORTGAGE MATTERS Credit Score and Home Buying Part I Does living a debt-free lifestyle make you the best candidate for a mortgage? You manage your money well and you purchase only what you can pay cash for. You have no credit cards or loans of any kind! You must be what every lender dreams of when it comes to obtaining a mortgage, right? Well, not so fast… Let’s take a look at one of the key aspects of lending: your credit score. When applying for a mortgage, your credit score weighs heavily when it comes to the mortgage rates you will be offered, the lenders who will work with you or whether you will be denied in your search for a loan. In essence, it can make or break your mortgage application. By definition, a credit score is simply a measure of your proven habits of repaying debt. For that reason, you must repay something to have a positive score, like credit card payments, car payments and small bank loans to name a few. People who do not have or use credit cards and insist on paying cash for everything are often surprised when they are refused for a mortgage because they believe their habit of paying cash should reflect “good credit”. Credit scores are rated on a point system, ranging from 0 (no credit), to a maximum of 900 (perfect credit), with the general minimum credit needed for a mortgage sitting at around 600 points. A person who pays cash for all things will likely have a 0 credit score because they have zero history of repaying debt. So what does this mean to a first time homebuyer? Do your credit card repayment patterns reveal good things about you? As a rule of thumb, a person should use two credit cards regularly and pay them off each month to build a positive credit score. A repayment for a bill as little as $10 will build your score and produce a proven habit of repaying debt. There are two major credit score suppliers in Canada: Equifax and Transunion. Each has a credit education center for those who would like to do further reading: www.equifax.com/home/en ca • www.transunion.ca Equifax offers a free mailed copy of your credit report at www.equifax.com/contact_us/en_ca.

On Camp Day, which was held on June 6, owners of more than 4,000 Tim Hortons restaurants in Canada and the United States — including those in Kamloops — donated all proceeds from coffee sales to the Tim Horton Children’s Foundation (THCF) and held numerous fundraising events to raise even more money for the camps. Last year, the popular event raised $9.9 million and contributed significantly to sending kids from local schools and community groups to year-round camps. “A big heartfelt thank you goes out to absolutely everyone in Canada and the United States who helped make this year’s Camp Day such a huge success,” said Dave Newnham, vice-president and executive direc-

TRAVEL
History and lore in
a i n a v l y s Tran
By Irene Butler SPECIAL TO KTW travelwriterstales.com
I
HAVE LONG been intrigued by Romanian folklore. The very word ‘Transylvania’ sends a shiver down my spine with blood-curdling images of haunted castles and fanged creatures. I am ready to find the historical threads in the lore. Leaving by train from the capital Bucharest, I wend my way through the verdant foothills of the Carpathian Mountains and arrive in the medieval city of Brasov, with vestiges of Austro-Hungarian Empire, Saxons and brief Ottoman rule. The wide pedestrianonly promenade Str Republicii is lively and colourful. On the umbrellas of the many sidewalk cafes is written, “Possibly the Best City in the World.” I chuckle and think, “Perhaps it is.” Brasov flaunts the narrowest street in all of Europe: Rope Street (Strad Sforil), dating to the 18th century, is just over a metre wide and can be walked along touching both sides. Black Church (Biserica Neagra) towers in dusky beauty. Built in 1385, it was called St. Mary’s — until renamed in 1689 after its outer stone walls were blackened by the Great Fire that levelled most of the city. Inside, 100 Persian rugs are hung from the walls (given to the church by Saxon merchants returning from shopping sprees to Ottoman lands). In 1839 a 4,000-pipe organ was installed. I tremble with delight as its chords thunder the air waves. With taxi driver Maxim, my sights are set on the early 14th century Bran Castle. My first spine-tingling glimpse is its looming russet-roofed, white-
walled citadels and towers jutting from the side of a cliff. I leave Maxim to chat with his cronies and start up the winding path towards the castle. The light sprinkle of rain becomes a winddriven drenching downpour halfway up, which only serves to enhance the tale of this being Dracula’s castle in Bram Stoker’s 1887 novel. Bran contains a Bram Stoker Room, recounting how Stoker’s book brought fame to the castle, and how his fictitious Count Dracula may have been inspired by the historical figure Count Vlad III Dracula (a.k.a Vlad Tepes). Vlad III was the ruling prince of the Romanian state of Walachia from 1456 to 1462 and from 1476 to 1477. His moniker Dracula, meaning Son of Dracul (dragon), was inherited
250-314-9923

from his father, Vlad II Dracul, who belonged to the Order of the Dragon, established to preserve Christianity. Although not a vampire, like Stoker’s Dracula, he was dubbed Vlad Tepes (Vlad the Impaler) for his bloodthirsty dealings with enemies; namely skewering them on wooden stakes in such a manner that the victims suffered excruciating pain for up to 48 hours before their last breath. It is improbable that Vlad Tepes ever set foot in this castle. Bran was mainly a fortress over the centuries to protect Romanian borders. In the early 20th century, the town of Brasov gave the castle to Queen Marie of Romania. She loved each of its 57 rooms, turning them into a summer retreat for her six children and King Ferdinand.

FATHER’S DAY
Looking for Father’s Day gifts? Father’s Day arrives on Sunday, June 17, and dads are high on many shopping lists. The Better Business Bureau (BBB) serving Mainland British Columbia wants to help families avoid some of the common last-minute shopping pitfalls. “Father’s Day should be about celebrating and spending wisely when shopping for the perfect gift for dad,” said Danielle Primrose, BBB president and CEO. “Before you buy a gift, know the refund and exchange policies of where you are buying from.” Popular gifts and things to consider when Father’s Day shopping include: • Gift cards and gift certificates: Check terms and conditions of any gift card or certificate before you buy it. Gift cards and gift certificates (pre-paid purchase cards) issued or sold in British Columbia are not allowed to have expiry dates or fees. However, if you buy a gift certificate from a daily-deal website, it may be allowed to expire if you do not buy the product at face value. Also, ask if the gift card can be used online or only in a store. • Electronics: If you decide to buy a camera, GPS system, cellphone, music player or another electronic device, be sure you keep it in its original packaging. Encourage dad to look it over carefully before opening it. Some stores may not accept returns if the
packaging has been opened or removed. Ask about any warranties on gadgets. • Recreational rentals: If you want to rent campers, boats or other recreational equipment for dad, be sure you get a written contract that details the cost, insurance and time restrictions. Inspect the rental and get written proof of existing damage before renting the equipment. • Guides, tours and classes: Fishing, sightseeing, skydiving and golf lessons can be a fun way to spend time with dad. But, you will need to get the details in writing in advance of the trip or class. Make sure you clarify the following: * Are reservations required and, if so, by when? * What are the total costs and features? * What services and equipment are included? * Are taxes, tips or other charges added? * Are there any restrictions or special time requirements? * Are there cancellation fees or refund penalties or policies? • Clothing or personal items: Despite our best intentions, sometimes there may be a problem with the item or it may not fit. If you don’t know what size or color your father prefers, make returns easy by getting a gift receipt. For more consumer tips like these, visit the Better Business Bureau website at mbc.bbb.org.

FATHER’S DAY
Fatherhood is the “Love and fear. Everything the father of a family says must inspire one or the other.” — Joseph Joubert “A father is always making his baby into a little woman. And when she is a woman he turns her back again.” — Enid Bagnold “My father used to play with my brother and me in the yard. Mother would come out and say, ‘You’re tearing up the grass.’ ‘We’re not raising grass,’ Dad would reply. ‘We’re raising boys.’ — Harmon Killebrew “He didn’t tell me how to live; he lived and let me watch him do it.” — Clarence Budington Kelland “A truly rich man is one whose children run into his arms when his hands are empty.” — author unknown

“If the new American father feels bewildered and even defeated, let him take comfort from the fact that whatever he does in any fathering situation has a 50 per cent chance of being right.” — Bill Cosby “Sometimes the poorest man leaves his children the richest inheritance.” — Ruth E. Renkel “A father carries pictures where his money used to be.” — author unknown “My father, when he went, made my childhood a gift of a half a century.” — Antonio Porchia, Voces, 1943, translated from Spanish by W.S.

FAITH
Walk of faith as fathers and children
O
NE OF the great hymns, Faith of Our Fathers, celebrates not only faith in God but also the mood of patriarchal piety. A part of the lyric goes: “Faith of our fathers living still/ in spite of dungeon, fire, and sword/how sweet would be their children’s fate/if they, like them, could die for Thee.” It’s a picture of the deep relationship between regard for parents and regard for the faith which they have given us. It is indeed sweet to have a faith we could die for. Sadly, those who are willing to die for their faith easily become willing to kill for it. When we try to understand what the Bible has to say about faith in the family, we should be careful to understand it in the biblical sense and not
NARAYAN MITRA You Gotta Have FAITH in a sense of uncritical adoration of parents or their faith. There is a trend of thought today that says that submission to parents is part of an authoritarian age which has passed away. Certainly, the most conservatives of us have no desire to return to the concept of “father” in ancient Rome or Germany. In ancient Rome the father had right, without incurring any legal penalties whatsoever, to kill his children if they displeased him. The right of life and death over the children was held by dads.
Fortunately, this is not a Christian concept. As a matter of fact, such patriarchal authoritarianism must never be confused with piety. Let us not undermine the biblical teaching with unbiblical reactions. A reaction to excessive authoritarianism is found in the current attack upon the family. In recent times, some sociologists have told us that we must totally reorganize our society because children today know more than their parents do. Their education is much better and knowledge is changing so rapidly that it is ridiculous for parents to assume that they have the right to tell their children what to do! It is imperative to know that the Bible does not subscribe to such total authoritarian picture of family relationships. As an almost teen,
Jesus went to the temple at 12 and apparently forgot about his parents. They left for home, missed him and started a search. When his mother finally found him in the temple disputing with the scholars, she scolded him. His reply, “I must be about my Father’s business,” hardly sounds like slavish submission to parents. St. Paul could, in one sense, never have sung “Faith of our Fathers.” He left the faith of his father and repudiated it in one sense. He was not one who submitted to a belief just because his parents did. One of the commandments from the scriptures is: “Honour your father and your mother, that your days may be prolonged in the land which the Lord your God gives you.” At times, in order
to obey God, we may have to go against our parents’ wishes. But, there is no time when we may dishonour them. In the case of unworthy parents, there is the honour due them as persons, as those who have sacrificed something for us even though we might have suffered wrong at their hands. It is true that St. Paul repudiated the Jewish orthodoxy of his parents for the Christian religion he embraced. But in defending himself before Governor Felix he said, “I do serve the God of our fathers...” His conversion was not total repudiation but a fulfillment. It’s as if he was saying, “I’m really going back to the true religion of the fathers.” Many of the secular attacks on the family today are without justification. Underlying so
much of the talk we hear today is the idea that because they are young, the youth know more and they alone achieve. It is certainly true that many great things have been accomplished by young people both today and in the past. But, let’s not forget that Moses was an octogenarian when he led the exodus out of Egypt. Let us forget the business of the old and the young, and walk together the path of parental and filial piety. Respect is due every human being. Young people’s incapacity to accept this fact in regard to their parents will destroy their capacity to relate to anyone else. They cannot have a lousy relationship with their parents and have a good relationship with everyone else. Even the worst parent is worthy of respect
as a person. The biblical standard of honouring and obeying parents does not mean that children are without recourse. The church does not endorse carte blanche everything the parents do or say. Thankfully, we do not live under the Roman law today. The laws of the land say parents are denied the right to do certain things to their children. Let us remember, above all, the example of Jesus because “He learned obedience from the things which he suffered” (Hebrews 5:8). When the Father asked him to die, he said, “Father, save me from this hour.” There wasn’t any voice, but he knew there was an answer to which he replied, “Not my will but yours be done.” narayanmitra@ hotmail.com

HERE COMES A time when the flotsam that followed you from your last six moves, when the towers of cardboard and Styrofoam, the forgotten keepsakes, unrelinquished memories, unwanted inheritances and unfortunate collectorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s items, has to go. There comes a time when you have to make room in the garage for the car. And, so, after several months of saying we would, after tripping over the Christmas tree one
too many times, and having had it with bushwhacking our way to the freezer, Chefhusband and I began what will hence be known as The Great Sort of 2012. As an expedition into the nether corners of our home, The Great Sort of 2012â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s purpose was to search out places to reclaim for our own. Somehow, however, it felt an awful lot like a rerun of the Great Sort of 2009, at which time, apparently, it still seemed prudent to keep eight white dinner plates, so heavy that setting
the table with them required advance chiropractic conditioning and/or operational knowledge of forklifts. For a moment, we stood at the threshold of our clutter, bewildered by our own ability to retain and acquire. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Be merciless,â&#x20AC;? we said. Which was easy enough when the next item added to the MustGo heap was an antique toaster oven â&#x20AC;&#x201D; a contraption/fire hazard that someone thought might come in handy one day.
for the salad: Toss dressing together with your favourite salad ingredients. Today ours included all of the following: Mixed greens grape tomatoes, halved raw yellow beet, peeled, processed in turning slicer, raw purple beet, peeled, processed in turning slicer, raspberries (or blackberries or quartered strawberries), pecan halves, salted and toasted, crumbled feta or chevre, flaked kosher salt and fresh ground pepper to season Notes: If you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have a turning slicer, use a mandoline to make long shreds of the beets. Soak shreds in water for several minutes to minimize colour transfer. Store leftover beet strings, refrigerated, in water to keep from drying out. Serve slices of cake, each drizzled with the lemon syrup.

uity and monstrous proportions, after which we thinned our coffee mug collection down to the number of people we know by name. By the end of two days, we’d banished enough items to fill three pickup trucks and, with those items, clogged the sorting yard of the nearest neighbourhood non-profit shop.

When I first got involved with wine and attended a seminar I was a bit abashed to follow the actions of my fellow attendees, but there they were holding their glasses up and squinting into the light, swirling the wine around and sticking their noses deep into the glass, taking a mouthful and swishing the wine around before swallowing. It took me awhile to join in, I admit, but when I overcame my reluctance I learned the logic in this pretentious procedure. It is not necessary to squint, swirl, swish and gurgle to enjoy wine. But using the following low key steps will help you appreciate the wine you drink. A glass of wine can bring a lot of pleasure to life. Here is a simple strategy to enjoy the taste of wine and put your senses to full use. Look at the wine – Grasp the glass by the stem. You want to see the wine clearly and you don’t want to warm it up by letting the bowl of the glass sit in the palm of your hand. Some wine geeks hold the glass by the base. I think that’s a bit much. Hold the glass up to the light so you can see the wine’s colour. Whites can vary from colourless to straw-coloured. Reds can range from deep ruby to pinkish. Colour is an important aesthetic impression wine can make – just like appetizing food tastes better than a poorly presented dish. As an example a deep ruby-coloured wine can seem richer and more flavourful than a pale one. Smell the wine – Just as every rose has its own scent, so does almost every wine. Good wine smells wonderful. Its fragrance is called the bouquet or nose. With a little bit of experience you may find hints of plum, apple, strawberries, pepper, or chocolate to name just a few. After you have inspected
Taste the wine – Take a sip and swirl it around in your mouth, over your tongue, around the sides of your mouth. Suck some air in and gurgle (don’t do this at the dinner table). This seems silly but it puts more of the wine in contact with the air and brings out delicious flavours and sends flavours up toward your olfactory bulb, which is behind the top of your nose. It’s the spot where you get a headache when you eat ice cream too fast. You will likely recognize sensations of sweetness and acidity. Is the wine crisp, with acidity balancing out the sweetness or fruitiness? How does the wine feel in your mouth? Do you like the taste and feel of this wine? Try to describe it to yourself. Then swallow. The finish – Don’t tune out the moment you swallow. Some sensations remain in the mouth for a relatively long time which creates the pleasure of drinking them. Some wines have very little finish which doesn’t mean they aren’t good wines, just that a long finish isn’t their style. But the finish should be pleasant and clean tasting. Turn on your senses. As you drink wine over time, your senses will become more attuned to the subtle aromas and tastes, and you’ll become more confident about deciding what you like. Winemakers aren’t satisfied to simply make wonderful wines and have them sit in bottles. Winemakers are only truly fulfilled when appreciative people open the bottles and savour a glass or two. “That which we call a rose by any other name would smell as sweet,” said Shakespeare’s Juliet. But why are roses grown in vineyards? The same diseases that afflict grapevines will more quickly register on the less resistant rosebushes, giving me the grape grower a chance to eradicate them before they do any lasting damage. And for my gardener wife Marg it adds aesthetic beauty to our vineyard.

WEEKLY HOROSCOPE ARIES - Mar 21/Apr 20 Aries, your ambition will take you to new places this week. Channel your energy in a constructive method to make the most of this renewed vigor.
CAPRICORN - Dec 22/Jan 20 Capricorn, though you can see quite clearly what you need to do this week, you may have to refrain from taking any action for some time. Try to be patient a little longer.
TAURUS - Apr 21/May 21 Taurus, now is the time to do slow and steady work, rather than experimenting with new methods.You’ll have time for fun and some trial and error later on.
AQUARIUS - Jan 21/Feb 18 Aquarius, things have been going your way and you are getting more and more excited about the future. This influx of enthusiasm is just what you need.
GEMINI - May 22/Jun 21 Gemini, for some reason you feel compelled to get started on something new in the next few days. This may be a job or a relationship -- only time will unveil the secrets.
PISCES - Feb 19/Mar 20 Your big ideas are highly valued, Pisces. Let others know what you are thinking and don’t be surprised if others ask for your advice.
CANCER - Jun 22/Jul 22 Cancer, you will need to take an intellectual approach to solving what has been troubling you recently. Lists and careful consideration might be necessary.
FAMOUS BIRTHDAYS
LEO - Jul 23/Aug 23 You have to approach someone who hasn’t been doing his or her share of the work, Leo. Tread gently because there could be a very good reason why this person has been floundering. VIRGO - Aug 24/Sept 22 Open yourself up to a new line of thinking,Virgo. There are many different possibilities that you may have overlooked before now. Try to expand your horizons. LIBRA - Sept 23/Oct 23 Embrace spontaneity this week, Libra. It could turn out to be something exciting and fun, which is just what you need at this time in your life. SCORPIO - Oct 24/Nov 22 Scorpio, take a step back and allow an upset family member a little breathing room this week. It’s best not to add fuel to the fire in this particular situation. SAGITTARIUS - Nov 23/Dec 21 Get out and try to meet some new people, Sagittarius. Constantly add to your collection of networking contacts, because you never know when you’ll need to call in a favor.
