THE RIVER RISES RAPIDLY By Tim Petruk and Andrea Klassen STAFF REPORTERS tim@kamloopsthisweek.com/andrea@kamloopsthisweek.com
City of Kamloops officials have taped off large swaths of Riverside Park and the Interior Savings Centre parking lot as water levels continue to rise. “We don’t see this very often,” said Jon Wilson, the city’s community safety and enforcement manager. “I know the [city’s] senior-management group has met just to make sure everything’s covered off for now.” As of Tuesday night (June 19), city bylaws officers had taped off the north and
northwest sections of ISC’s parking lot and the entire beach of Riverside Park — all of which is under water. Wilson said the tape is a precaution, put up because some onlookers were getting too close to the water and “tempting fate.” In some parts of the park, the water has spilled past the benches near the beach. The B.C. River Forecast Centre has issued a flood watch for South Thompson and Shuswap Lake and a high streamflow advisory for the North Thompson, though a centre spokesperson said that river could be back on flood watch next week. The South Thompson River at Chase is expected to produce flows of at least 1,400
cubic metres per second, increasing to between 1,400 and 1,600 cubic metres per second. The river’s rise is expected to continue for the next five to 10 days. By comparison, flood levels in 1999 were 1,430 cubic metres per second and the record flood of 1948 reached 1,620 cubic metres per second. The amount and rate of rise and ultimate peak level will depend on the weather over the next two weeks. David Jones, an Environment Canada weather specialist, said more rain is expected to hit the city Saturday and a series of storms and heavy rains could rattle through the region for the next week.

Benches in Pioneer Park show how far the South Thompson River has travelled inland. Water is so high that the city has closed the pier at Riverside Park, with the liquid lapping at the structure. Dave Eagles/KTW

KATEBOARDERS ACROSS the world — and right here in Kamloops — will celebrate the annual International Go Skateboarding Day today (Thursday, June 21). International Go Skateboarding Day began as a day for skateboarders to have fun, to raise awareness about helmet safety and to show the world what skateboarding is all about. The City of Kamloops and Oronge Board Shop are celebrating the day at McArthur Island Skateboard Park from 3 p.m. to 5 p.m. The Kamloops Brain Injury Association summer safety co-ordinators will be there to raise awareness on helmet safety and to give away helmets as draw prizes. The Kamloops Graffiti Taskforce will also be at the skateboard park to meet and talk to youth about safe places to play. Everybody is invited to drop by for free entertainment and free hot dogs — and to learn a bit more about skateboarding. For more information, go online to goskateboardingday.org.

With the water levels on the Thompson Rivers expected to further rise, longtime River Street homeowner Alanna Westman (right) talks to neighbour Denise Harvey (left) and friend Jane Winters outside her home, where she has lived since she was one. Westman’s parents built the house in 1947, moving in mere months before the big flood of 1948. The house has a sump pump in the basement that is ready to start pumping the water that inevitably will seep into her house. Dave Eagles/KTW

The city is asking boaters to stay off the water over the next few days as the North and South Thompson rivers continue to rise. Public works and sustainability director David Duckworth said the city closed its boat launches on Wednesday, June 20, and is discouraging the use of watercraft in an effort to prevent further erosion of dikes and beams on the waterway. “We’re experiencing a one-in-10 year event, with a chance the river levels could get up to a one-in-20 year event,” Duckworth said. Duckworth said there have been some reports of “seepage” into basements on low-lying properties in the city, but mostly in areas with a history of flooding. “Those properties largely know who they are and what needs to be done,” he said. The city has delivered sand bags to River Street, the 3700block of Overlander Drive, the 7200-block of Furrer Road and the Heffley Creek Trailer Park — low lying areas with a history of flooding — and is looking for volunteers to fill and place the bags. Sand and bags are also available for free from all Kamloops firehalls, where they can be picked up around the clock, and at the city’s Public Works Centre on Concordia Way from 7 a.m. to 4 p.m. Seniors and residents with mobility issues can get help with sandbagging from the Seniors Outreach Society Snow Angels by calling 250-828-0600. According to the B.C. River Forecast Centre, the South Thompson River at Chase is approaching 20-year flow levels, with uncertainty over the timing of the river’s peak. Typically, the South Thompson reaches peak levels toward the third week of June; however, the combination of a delayed onset to the snowmelt season and a wetter than usual June may push the peak to the end of June or early July.

INTELLIGENCE
High-risk sex offender arrested Eight months ago, he was the subject of a warning from the province. He had arrived in Kamloops and was deemed a high-risk, untreated sex offender. This week, 48-yearold David Bruce Jennings is behind bars, accused of breaching court conditions by contacting two children under the age of 16. Jennings faces two charges of breach of recognizance and remains in custody pending a court appearance on Thursday, June 21. His court conditions include no direct or indirect contact with children ages 16 or younger or who reasonably appear to be 16 or younger. On June 8, Kamloops RCMP allege, Jennings and a male friend tried to start a conversation with a 14-year-old girl after buying a pizza for her. The girl was standing by the curb in the 1900-block of the East Trans Canada Highway in Valleyview, wearing a business costume and waving a placard advertising Domino’s Pizza. Police say Jennings and his friend went to Domino’s and told staff that he want to pur-

chased a pizza for the girl. Jennings reportedly wanted to give the pizza to the girl directly, but he left after staff became suspicious and said they would deliver the pizza to her. Police say Jennings and his friend then went to a nearby bank, bought a promotional stuffed animal and gave to a crying three-year-old girl, who had been in the bank with her mom. Police say the woman then walked to her parked car, where she had three other children under the ages of seven waiting. It is alleged Jennings and his friend followed her to the vehicle, had her roll down her window and began speaking to her about her daughter and the stuffed animal that had been given to her. Jennings was arrested

on June 14 and has agreed to remain in custody until his June 21 court appearance. Jennings has a criminal history including sexual offences against boys and girls, including failing to comply with conditions prohibiting contact with children. He was sentenced in May 1999 for the assault of a nine-year-old Kamloops girl. He was also found guilty in Alberta in 1992 and 1996 of sexual inference against a five-yearold boy and a four-yearold girl. Police say Jennings’ method of operating is to befriend families with children in order to gain access to their children. He has also offered babysitting services and sought volunteer positions where he can gain access to children, including positions with church youth groups. His target victim group includes boys and girls between the ages of three and 11. Jennings was being supervised by the community corrections division of BC Corrections. The initial high-risk warning was issued in October 2011.

Council talks about talking By Andrea Klassen STAFF REPORTER andrea@kamloopsthisweek.com
As its five-item workshop this week stretched past the three-hour mark, with half the agenda still to go, Kamloops council got introspective. “The problem is not the policy,” declared Coun. Ken Christian. “The problem is us.” In theory, councillors were discussing whether to end meetings at 10 p.m. rather than 11 p.m. to combat some days of talks and public hearings that have stretched from 9 a.m. to midnight. In either case, meetings could still be extended past that time by a majority vote. But, most council members said they didn’t want to end up cutting contentious public hearings short because of the smaller time allotment
and offered each other some advice instead — talk less. “We won’t be there until 12 a.m. if we watch how many questions we ask and how many times we say the same thing,” said Coun. Pat Wallace. “How many times do you have to burden your colleagues with the same comment?” Since Kamloops’ current council was elected in November, Mayor Peter Milobar said meetings are getting longer — and not because more policies are coming to council. “I haven’t seen thicker agendas and I haven’t seen more meetings scheduled,” he said. “What I have seen are much longer conversations and much more going around the table. “We’re our own worst enemies.”
Coun. Nelly Dever suggested council place limits on how many times each person at the table speaks, or enact a requirement that prioritizes councillors with differing view points. “I’ve often sat here and listened to seven people say the same thing, just with a different choice of words,” she said. Coun. Marg Spina suggested councillors “not think out loud” and instead speak only when they know what point they want to make. However, Coun. Tina Lange said longer meet-
ings may be helping council’s image. Lange said when she sat on past councils where there was less debate “the citizens had the feeling we’d had all our discussions somewhere else.” She said she has also changed her mind on how to vote several times during the third round of a debate. “What’s this going to gain us, maybe a half hour here and there?” Lange asked. “Not worth it because what I hear from the public is they like this a lot better.”

Join Dix’s campaign and help save some lives
I
DON’T LIKE TO TALK WITH politicians. It’s hard not to wonder what the motivation is behind whatever it is they’re calling about. Is it to further their own career? Did their political keepers hand out new talking points to disseminate? Are they trying to put out a media fire? None applied when Adrian Dix, leader of the provincial NDP, called recently to chat. Rather, it was the result of a conversation I had had with one of his staff, who was promoting a photo-op Dix had planned in Kamloops on his new, deeply personal campaign to see more of us tested sooner for colorectal cancer. It was during that conversation I mentioned my husband had recently undergone a procedure to rule out that particularly nasty cancer, so she didn’t need to go into the details about what exactly Dix wants to see more of us able to access sooner. For Dix, the personal link was his mother’s brush with the cancer that, this year alone, will affect 1,600 men and 1,250 women in B.C., according to the Canadian Cancer Society. His mom’s cancer wasn’t found early because screening isn’t one of those required tests for people but, Dix said, her primary physician moved quickly once it was diagnosed. That reality — and a conversation with a friend in 2006 who had lost someone to colon cancer and was angry it hadn’t been detected earlier — has led the NDP leader to take on as his personal goal the campaign to raise public-awareness about the need to
DALE BASS Street
LEVEL be checked for colon cancer if you’re between the ages of 50 and 74. Dix noted recent Statistics Canada figures show the largest segment of the Kamloops population is that targeted 50-to-54 age group and that the group over 65 years of age is expected to grow by 24 per cent in the next three years. Ideally, Dix would like to see B.C. follow Ontario’s lead. In 2007, that province introduced a colorectal cancer-screening program for people most at risk after being lobbied for years by cancer experts and patient-advocacy groups. The program allows people 50 and older to get screening kits for doctors and pharmacists to do tests at home. The test checks for blood in the stool, often an indicator of polyps that can become cancer. An abnormal test would provide that person with a priority ranking for a colonoscopy to look for — and remove, if necessary — any of those pre-cancerous polyps. Ontario is spending $193.5 million for the five-year program but, Dix noted, early detection will reduce health-care costs.
Find it quickly, treat it quickly and the expensive cancer treatments required when the disease has taken a much stronger hold on the body might not be necessary. My husband didn’t have a long wait after a screening test ordered by his doctor came back suspicious. It was just a few months, but every single day was stressful, just waiting and wondering. The mind naturally goes to the worst-case scenario — at least mine often did. Hearing the surgeon tell us after the procedure that my hubby had dodged a bullet was scary, but reassuring. Dix believes an easily accessible home-testing program would help other folks avoid that kind of stress, worry, anxiety — and maybe increase the number who also manage to dodge a bullet. A recent study in Vernon showed 43 per cent of patients with tumours in their colons or rectums were diagnosed in the hospital’s emergency room. Each was experiencing advanced stages of the disease. Right now, only Penticton, Powell River and some parts of Vancouver have screening programs people can readily access to be tested for colorectal cancer. We were lucky — our doctor is cautious and thorough. He believes one you pass 50, you need more screening for those nasty surprises that show up in middle age. Not everyone even has a doctor to make that decision. I hope Dix succeeds in his campaign — everyone will be better for it. dale@kamloopsthisweek.com
As in any non-decisive battle between implacable foes, both sides are claiming victory after a Labour Relations Board decision. LRB vice-chair Ritu Mahil ruled the B.C. Teachers’ Federation didn’t authorize an illegal strike by directing members to refrain from “activities which occur outside of class time/instructional hours and are truly voluntary and extra-curricular.” The decision, which means teachers’ participation in field trips and coaching duties are not mandatory, means teachers “have the right to withdraw their participation in voluntary extra-curricular activities,” the union noted in a news release. It’s a win for teachers, said BCTF president Susan Lambert, because it clarifies the distinction between voluntary and non-voluntary extracurricular activities. Summoning the wisdom of Solomon in the middle of an especially tense B.C. labour-relations showdown, Mahil also ruled that teachers have to participate in afterhours things that are part of their work duties. This includes parent-teacher interviews, district committee meetings, school-based team meetings and Ministry of Education initiatives. So, it’s also a victory for the B.C. government and the B.C. Public School Employees’ Association, which filed an LRB complaint claiming the union struck illegally. Of course, if both sides partially won, they also partially lost, but let’s not dwell on the semantics and optics of the public relations spin cycle. There are more important issues at stake. One of them is a contract mediator Charles Jago is still trying to broker while the BCTF is attempting to have him removed from that role. Another issue, related tightly to the contract, is what to do with a new school year that is only three months away. The LRB ruling helps, but to avoid the uncertainty and disruption that plagued this school year, both sides must remember to do what’s best for students.

SURVEY RESULTS
Welcome to the Dandelion Capital of Canada Editor: As stated by one of our very intelligent councilors — “Dandelions are people, too.” Well, if they are, why aren’t they paying taxes? Pesticides may not be the best way to keep our city beautiful, but until a workable alternative comes along, it is all we have. When used properly after reading the instructions, pesticides and herbicides can
be administered safely. City bylaws officers still give tickets for having too many noxious weeds or unkempt lots. Without dandelion control, soccer fields would look like flower beds. Council needs to focus its many talents on building another bridge to keep traffic flowing and stay out of my yard. I don’t like dandelions and the seeds make me sneeze. Just look at all the yellow on the
Dandelion Mile from Summit Drive to Columbia and Sixth. The city should be ashamed of the amount of weeds on that strip. Planting marigolds in the median must be to take our attention away from the neglect on either side. Council is using our tax dollars, so it better do something useful or its gravy train will pull into its last station. Jay Barlow Kamloops

Kamloops could learn something from Kalgoorlie Editor: I did some open-pit mining research and found an incredible photo online at this website address: http:// earthobservatory.nasa.gov/ IOTD/view.php?id=42763. It shows Australia’s largest open-pit mine with an excellent aerial view, which would indeed closely represent our issue in Kamloops, of close proximity to that of the proposed Ajax open-pit copper and gold mine south of Aberdeen. The Australian community of Kalgoorlie is located direct beside the open-pit mine shown on the website. Kalgoorlie is a bustling community economically and even offers stunning views of this mine, while it
BERT GATIEN 250-319-0227 1.888.374-3022 bgatien@telus.net
is in operation seven days a week, via a visitor centre that overlooks the mine. The mine blasts at 1 p.m. every day, unless winds would carry dust over the town. Their mine is expected to be productive until about 2017. At that point, it is planned to abandon it and allow the groundwater to seep in and fill it. It is estimated it will take about 50 years to fill completely. Kalgoorlie has a semiarid climate just like that of Kamloops, and it, too, has hot summers along with the cool winters. Although Kalgoorlie is not an exact duplicate
of Kamloops geologically, it certainly shows Kamloopsians how that community has successfully co-existed with its mining neighbour — and economically, as well. In fact, they have built a visitor centre overlooking this mine and charge outsiders for the stunning views (smart thinking). Maybe such a visitor centre is not possible for Kamloops, but here is the biggie — Kalgoorlie has an acceptable end game plan in mind after this mine closes in 2017. Apparently, just 50 years later, their future generations will be enjoying a natural lake which, no doubt, will be considered prime real-
estate value. We all know that lakefront properties in the Kamloops area are considered prime locations. And, if I am wrong? It’s better to be looking at a natural lake, useable or not, I believe, as opposed to a big hole from space. I believe Kamloops, has a lot of water in its underground areas. It certainly lets us know in Kamloops how Kalgoorlie, Australia, has handled its similar situation, doesn’t it? If they can get along with their mining neighbor, then why can’t we? Les Evens Kamloops

Non-profits could be billed in 2014 By Andrea Klassen STAFF REPORTER andrea@kamloopsthisweek.com
Non-profit organizations in Kamloops with permissive-tax exemptions could get a bill for a portion of their property taxes in 2014. The exemption waives property taxes for groups such as the Kamloops Christian School, the New Life Mission and Interior Community Services. But, there’s a cap on how much tax revenue the city will forgo, which is based on an average amount of exemptions granted in the last five years.
The last time the cap was set in 2010 (each cap is for a three-year period), the city realized at the last minute it would be asking non-profit groups to pay 14 per cent of their tax bills with no prior notice and agreed to waive the full amount until 2014. Council took another look at the cap at a policy workshop this week. While the new cap won’t be set until next 2013, Mayor Peter Milobar said he wants non-profits to have a “heads up” about whether council plans to continue covering their
full property tax bill. So far, that’s not looking likely. “They’re all worthy, they’re all wonderful, they all do great work,” said Coun. Pat Wallace. “But, there’s only so many times the taxpayers can dip into their wallets.” Councillors Nancy Bepple and Donovan Cavers, however, argued non-profits should get a full tax exemption because their services help the city. “I think without these groups our taxes would go up,” Bepple said. Several other coun-
cillors expressed concern with some of the groups that qualify for the exemption, noting they would rather pare down that list than remove the cap. “I don’t know why we have the trap and skeet club in the same list as the Kamloops Food Bank,” said Coun. Ken Christian. Coun. Tina Lange wasn’t sure why groups such as the Pinetree Riding Club and the Children’s Circle Childcare Society receive exemptions. “It’s a business,” she said of the latter. “I think we just
need some tighter rules around who we give our money to.” However, should the cap fall short by more than 10 per cent again in the future, councillors said they would like to see discussion about it automatically come back to council chambers.

a matter of explaining the rules,” he said. The city could change to a noisemetering system, in which technicians are sent out to monitor noise levels when there is a complaint. But, Wilson said, that type of enforcement is pricey — meters cost about $4,000 each and require specialized training — noting other communities using that system “aren’t overly satisfied.” Coun. Ken Christian said he’s happy to see the noise-complaint process stay the way it is.

At a policy workshop this week, Jon Wilson told city council the bylaw is enforced by collecting witness statements when complaints are made and requires corroborating statements from people besides the original complainer. “We talk to the people complaining about it and we go talk to the people creating the noise and often it’s

One man’s trash . . . Council will not limit vehicles on private property By Andrea Klassen STAFF REPORTER andrea@kamloopsthisweek.com
A plan to clear vehicle clutter off residential lots isn’t getting Kamloops city council revved up. At a policy workshop this week, staff floated amendments to the city’s zoning bylaw that would limit the number of vehicles — including trailers and other recreational vehicles— per residential lot to five, limit the number of derelict autos on a lot to one or two and require inoperable cars be parked somewhere other than the front lawn. Another potential change would set limits on how much of a front yard can be paved for parking. Jon Wilson, the city’s manager of community safety and enforcement, said staff are seeing more and more people pave their entire front yards for cars, which detracts from curb
appeal. Restricting vehicles based on their size and weight relative to the size of a homeowner’s lot was also proposed. But, many councillors said five vehicles isn’t an unreasonable number, noting a limit would penalize many property owners whose vehicles aren’t a nuisance or an eyesore. “I think we’re opening ourselves up to a war with this,” Mayor Peter Milobar said. “Once we deal with this, it’s going to be overgrown shrubs next.” Coun. Tina Lange said she didn’t want to see people with “boats bigger than their neighbour’s” penalized by the city. “I don’t really want more rules and regulations that say if your trailer is this big or your boat is this big you have to go buy storage,” she said. However, councillors said they were willing
It’s not clear how many complaints the city fields about unsightly vehicles and clutter. Wilson said the city had 1,600 complaints about illegal parking in residential areas in 2011, but the percentage of those complaints stemming from residents with no room left to park on their lots is unknown.
to look at new restrictions on derelict vehicles being kept in yards. “I can see where your neighbour has pulled in one, two, three, four project vehicles and they start to change the character of the neighbourhood from quiet residential to body shop, it would be grating,” Coun. Ken Christian said.

Three males are in custody after Barriere RCMP, acting on a tip about attempted thefts of quads in the area, found four ATVs stolen from Kamloops. The vehicles, valued at $20,000 each, were taken from Leading Edge Motor Sports, 701 Tagish St. The theft was reported on Monday, June 18. A truck from the adjacent U-Haul outlet was also taken — and found by Barrier officers. Three males between the ages of 17 and 19 were arrested by the Barriere officers and remain in custody. The owner of a second truck located at the same time has yet to be identified. The origin of the second truck has not yet been determined.

“Fresh, Healthy, Local”
Housing proposed for land north of TRU By Andrea Klassen STAFF REPORTER andrea@kamloopsthisweek.com
A plan to build homes with “dramatic views” overlooking the downtown and the North and South Thompson rivers is making its way to city council. Planning and development manager Randy Lambright said the city has received an application from TRUE Consulting to amend Kamloops’ official community plan to allow for urban residential development on crown, private and university lands north of the TRU campus and west of the Summit Drive connector. A rezoning application for a portion of private land in the area was also submitted. Lambright says the application could see 250 to 500 units built in the area over time. The first phase of construction would be upwards of 20 single-family homes. “Their second, third and subsequent phases on the property will be multifamily — and, what’s envisioned on the crown and well as the TRU property is predominantly multi-family,” he said.
SPECIALS JUNE 21 - 27
The area’s land use designations are mainly agricultural and single-family residential, Lambright said. The area is also home to a gravel pit. “It’s not currently in our growth management strategy, which is why it needs to go through an OCP amendment. It wasn’t envisioned as a future growth area.” Lambright said there are some challenges with the site, including traffic and topographical issues and the movement of wildlife through the property. The property is for sale and listed with Vancouver-based real-estate agents Avison Young. An online brochure describes the four-hectare “Taylor Homestead” as a multi-family residential development property with “spectacular views over the North and South Thompson River.” The land is being offered in three parcels: 25 single-family lots at the north of the property for $5 million, a $1.5-million half-hectare parcel suggested for townhomes and another 1.3 hectares suggested for multi-family use, with no listed price. The pitch will most likely come to council in two to three months.

Rural communities and small cities cannot avoid natural disasters, but their impacts can be reduced by proper planning and having appropriate support systems in place beforehand. A new study spearheaded by Julie Drolet of Thompson Rivers University will develop recommendations and strategies aimed at helping communities be more resilient to the impacts of wildfires, floods, hurricanes, tsunamis and other natural disasters — all of which can have long-term and far-reaching economic and social implications. The three-year study, titled Rebuilding Lives PostDisaster, will bring together researchers, government departments and community partners from Canada, the United States, Australia, India and Pakistan. Disasters will be looked at from a 360-degree perspective of before, during and the rebuilding afterward. By analyzing international case studies, researchers will glean best practices, emerging better practices, innovative solutions and more. “The challenges we all face due to disasters are enormous,� said Drolet, project founder and associate professor of social work at TRU. “There is a lot to learn about building community capacity, empowering individuals, creating long-term
economic and social change and challenging existing systems of exclusion and discrimination.� Funding for the $199,938 study comes from the Partnership Development Grant of the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council of Canada. Partners who have given commitments of support include the Canadian Association for Social Work Education, Council on Social Work Education, International Association of Schools of Social Work, Canadian Red Cross and partnering non-governmental organizations. This project is a continuation of Drolet’s research looking at rural communities and small cities and how climate change has affected their social and economic well-being. “The project is significant because it provides a range of community perspectives on sustainability, equity and livelihoods post-disaster of interest to stakeholders such as emergency service volunteers, emergency managers, educators, social workers, community practitioners, and the social sciences, particularly in the relationship between the social construction of disasters, climate change adaptation and mitigation, the environment, and sustainable development,� said Drolet.
Plenty of booze — and an assault — at big party Kamloops RCMP are investigating a reported incident of assault with a weapon that took place at a large bush party at Tree Flats on the Scuitto Lake Forest Service Road on Monday, June 18. Mounties heard about the party and brought in six extra officers who checked 500 vehicles carrying 1,200 students
to the site, destroying plenty of liquor during the in the process. In many cases, there were designated drivers or parents dropping children at the party. At about 2 a.m., a number of girls assaulted and attacked an 18-year-old woman, with one suspect actually striking the victim in the head with a hard liquor bottle.
An officer was on scene and called for an ambulance to take the victim to Royal Inland Hospital. She was released with injuries to her face and head. As officers were investigating the assault, one of their own vehicles — a police truck — sustained several hundred dollars’ damage to the mirror.

Showdown champions Mayor Peter Milobar will be at Beattie School of the Arts elementary campus today (June 21) to congratulate Ms. Bouwmeester’s class, which excelled in the Climate Change Showdown. The students, working with their families over a four-week period, achieved a 28.6-tonne reduction in greenhouse-gas emissions by driving less, eating local foods, taking shorter showers and turning off the lights. They will celebrate at noon with a pizza party. The BC Sustainable Energy Association (BCSEA) offers the Climate Change Showdown program to students in grades 4 to 7 throughout British Columbia. In Kamloops, the program is presented in partnership with the City of Kamloops.

COMMUNITY
Summertime can really go to the dogs The BC SPCA is offering week-long summer camps for kids at it Kamloops branch, 1211 Eighth St. One of the main goals of the camps, said Paula Neuman, BC SPCA’s humane-education manager, is to help children develop empathy by teaching them to regard the world as a shared space with other living beings, not only pets, but farm animals and wildlife, too. “The highlight for many of the kids is the time they spend every day interacting with, and learning about, animals such as cats, dogs, rats and other small furry creatures,” Neuman said. All dogs participating in the camps have been temperamenttested. Camp spaces fill up quickly and early registration is encouraged. Register online at bcspca.ca or by calling 250-376-7722. Camps will run
COMMUNITY Mondays through Fridays at a cost of $150. Dates are July 9 to July 13; July 23 to July 27; July 30 to Aug. 3; and Aug. 13 to Aug. 17. Camps run from 9:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. and are open to children ages seven to nine or 10-12, depending on the week. Kids can be dropped off as early as 9 a.m. and picked up as late as 4 p.m.
The free skates will take place at Brock Arena on Thursday, July 21, and Wednesday, Aug. 18, from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. Skating has great aerobic and cardiovascular benefits but does not have the joint impact that other activities such as running or jogging have.
Skating also tones muscles, promotes weight loss, increases mental control such as alertness and is terrific for building self-esteem and confidence.
Program addresses sex abuse Little Warriors, a national charitable organization that teaches adults how to prevent child sexual abuse, is offering the researchbased Stewards of
Children training in Kamloops. The three-hour session focuses on how to help prevent, recognize and react to child sexual abuse. More information can be found online at littlewarriors.ca/prevention/the-preventionprogram. The session iis sponsored by the North Shore Community Centre and will take place on Saturday, June
30, at 1 p.m. Cost is $30 per person or $25 per person for groups of two or more. Register online at register.littlewarriors. ca/prevention_program/ schedule.html by selecting Kamloops.
Feeding the valleys Less than five months into its yearlong Feed the Valley food drive, Valley First Credit Union has surpassed its 2012 target of

Assad’s Russian defenders — why? GWYNNE DYER World WATCH
troops to intervene in either of these giants. Paranoid fears cannot be dissolved by the application of mere reason. The Russian and Chinese vetoes on the Security Council give them complete protection from foreign military intervention, but they still worry about it. And, they look with horror at the phenomenon of non-violent revolutions that have been removing authoritarian regimes with such efficiency, from the ones that overthrew communist regimes in Eastern Europe and almost overthrew the Chinese regime in 1989 down to the Arab ones of today. Moscow and Beijing have convinced themselves there is a Western “hidden hand” behind these uprisings, even though Western actions (like the U.S. backing for Egypt’s President Hosni Mubarak that continued until almost the last minute of the revolution) and Western interests both argue otherwise.
your own country when you don’t have to, but both President Vladimir Putin’s elective dictatorship in Russia and the Communist Party in China fear one day they might face foreign intervention themselves. There must, therefore, be no legal precedent for international action against a regime that is merely murdering its own people on its own sovereign soil. In reality, there is one kind of justice for the great powers and another for weaker states and neither Moscow nor Beijing would ever face Western military intervention even if they were crushing non-violent protests by their own people, let alone drowning an armed revolt in blood. But, we are dealing here with the nightmare fantasies of regimes that secretly know they are illegitimate. They never acknowledge it in public and they don’t discuss it directly even in private, but they know it nevertheless and they understand illegitimacy means vulnerability. It doesn’t matter that Russia or China can simply veto any UN resolution directed against them. It makes no difference that no sane government in the rest of the world would commit the folly of sending
Now, in Syria, they see both of these threats coalescing. First, for eight months, they watch strictly non-violent protests — despite some thousands of killings by the Syrian state — undermine the Assad regime. Then, when some protesters start fighting back and the regime responds with even greater violence, bombarding city centres and committing open massacres of villagers, they hear the Western powers begin to talk about their “responsibility to protect,” with the (deliberately misleading) implication they are contemplating direct military intervention in Syria to stop it. So, Russia and China will veto any Security Council resolution that condemns the Assad regime and certainly any resolution that hints at military intervention. Assad must survive, not because he buys a few billion dollars worth of Russian arms and gives Russia a naval base in the

HE UNITED NATIONS STABILIZATION MISSION IN SYRIA HAS SUSPENDED ITS PEACE MISSION. “The observers will not be conducting patrols and will stay in their locations until further notice,” said the commander of the 300-strong multinational observer force, Norwegian Gen. Robert Mood. This decision by the observer force is fully justified: Its observers were being prevented from visiting massacre sites by the Syrian army and their mere presence created the false impression the international community was doing something. So, now the international community will be under even greater pressure to “do something” else about the Syrian tragedy. That means military action against the Assad regime — but the Russians will veto that. Russian diplomacy is not usually so clumsy. None of the Western great powers will actually send troops to intervene in Syria: The Syrian army is too strong and the sectarian and ethnic divisions in the country are far too messy. So, why don’t the Russians just promise to abstain in any UN Security Council vote on military intervention? No such vote will happen anyway and Moscow would expose the hypocrisy of the Western powers that are pretending to demand action and blaming the Russians (and the Chinese) for being the obstacle. It’s stupid to bring such opprobrium on

SAEMEROW 1926 ~ 2012 Mona Juanita Saemerow of Kamloops, BC passed away on June 16, 2012 at 85 years of age. She is survived by her loving children Nels (Helen) Saemerow of Kamloops, BC, Brenda (Jim) Wiss of SedroWoodley, WA, grandchildren Kelli (Steve) Garber of Stanwood, WA, Jason (Karen) Garrood of Mukilteo, WA, great grandchildren Trevor and Macy Garrood and Jeffrey Garber, sisters-in -law Helen Saemerow of Kamloops, BC and Sophie Saemerow of Knutsford, BC
Blanche was born on September 17, 1928 in Willowbrook Saskatchewan. She moved west as a young girl with her family and took up residence in Heffley Creek. Following graduation from Kamloops High School, Blanche worked as a bookkeeper at the Bank of Montreal, cook at the Waymark Cafe, but her biggest job was raising her 4 boys.
Mona was predeceased by her husband Melvine Saemerow and her brother Norman Chester.
They had four boys who will deeply miss their mother. Dawayne (Karin), Hal (Cheri), Don (Maureen), Brad (Deanna). Blanche had nine grandchildren and five great grandchildren whom she adored and loved to spend time with.
Mona was born September 21, 1926 to Bertrand and Elizabeth Chester at Copper Creek. She grew up on the family farm at Red Lake. She married Melvine Saemerow on September 18, 1946. Their son, Nels, was born in 1947, followed by their daughter, Brenda, in 1950. Their early years were spent in the Kamloops area, primarily at HefÁey Creek, then they moved to New Westminster in 1956.
Everyone has a craft, Christmas ornament or recipe from Blanche. She loved going to the meat draws at the ANAvets on Sundays and keeping in touch with her friends. She liked to watch hockey and her favorite baseball team the Blue Jays. She enjoyed watching her family playing ball at the Heffley ball diamond. You would often find Don and Blanche listening to the hometown Blazers on the radio.
In her role as wife and mother, Mona spent countless hours serving on the PTA at the schools of her children. Mona’s very creative talents were turned to needle work Àrst, then she started making miniatures and became well-known for her work. She served as president of Miniature Club of BC, was a National Association of Miniature Enthusiasts member and frequented Mini conventions and meetings throughout the US and Western Canada. In addition to the miniature-making, she was a talented teddy-bear maker working as the Every Bear Different Company. After Mel retired, they moved back to Kamloops in 1987, Mona continued her creativity and at the age of 80, took up writing. She has three published books and a fourth will be published soon. Family was important to her, as were her many treasured friends.
You never left Blanche’s home with an empty stomach. Mum had the biggest heart in the world and she will be greatly missed and never forgotten.
The family would like to give a special thank you to her niece Sally and to all the health care professionals.
Many thanks to Dr. Paul Yanko and the kind nurses and staff on 5 North at RlH.
Memorial donations may be made to the Royal Inland Hospital Foundation.
Don was in the Air Force so Blanche and Don got to see a great deal of Canada and numerous countries in Europe. They lived overseas for a few years, moved to Edmonton for a few years then back to Heffley Creek in the early seventies. Blanche and Don later moved closer to town and lived in Rayleigh before moving onto Westsyde. No words can describe the love she had for her family. This was her number one interest but other interests included playing softball in her younger years, camping and fishing with family and friends, making crafts.
A Celebration of Blanche’s life will be held at 1:00 pm on Saturday, June 23, 2012 in the chapel of Kamloops Funeral Home, 285 Fortune Drive. In lieu of flowers, kindly make a donation in Blanche’s memory to the Heart and Stroke Foundation, which would be greatly appreciated. Condolences may be emailed to the family from www.kamloopsfuneralhome.com

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. 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. 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.” 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.” Margaret Fishback Powers

Kamloops coach, parent involved in physical altercation By Marty Hastings STAFF REPORTER
sports@kamloopsthisweek.com
A
HEATED discussion between peewee Kamloops Rattlers assistant coach Doug Clark and a parent is alleged to have become physical outside NorVal Arena in Armstrong on Friday, June 15. “It started on the edge of the players’ box and it did go out-
side,” North Okanagan RCMP spokesman Gord Molendyk told KTW. “There is some indication that it went from a heated discussion to perhaps punches being thrown. “The police became involved and my understanding is that they are looking at charges being laid against a parent.” Clark, also head coach of the junior B Kamloops Venom
of the Thompson Okanagan Junior Lacrosse League, and the parent — whose child plays for the 11and 12-year-old peewee Rattlers — were interviewed by police in Armstrong on Friday. “The parent was released and is expected to appear in court,” Molendyk said. The B.C. Lacrosse Association (BCLA) has suspended Clark pending an internal investigation.
“B.C. Lacrosse’s coaching association is responsible for the investigation,” BCLA’s vice-president Ron McQuarrie told KTW, noting a three-person panel was to conduct a hearing last night (June 20) or today (June 21). McQuarrie said Clark’s actions were out of character. “I’ve known Doug for many years,” McQuarrie said. “Doug is a tremendous person. It’s
unfortunate Doug was involved in this. This was a disturbing incident.” A witness told the Vernon Morning Star a parent became upset after a child was hit in the throat with a stick. It is believed the parent wanted Clark to question the referee as to why a penalty was not called. The parent’s name has not been released by RCMP, as charges have not yet been laid.

Pro baseball possibility in Kamloops By Marty Hastings STAFF REPORTER

West Coast League (WCL) president Ken Wilson said Kamloops is a suitable location for a professional baseball franchise.
“Our league is very interested in having a team in Kamloops,” Wilson told KTW. “A few years ago, I would contact the city with some frequency and got responses that they were committed
to the Golden Baseball League (GBL) and, once, that they were interested in talking, but they never answered my inquiries,” Wilson said. The GBL has since merged with the
United Baseball and the Northern leagues to form the North American Baseball League. Victoria became the WCL’s 10th member city earlier this month. The team has not yet

been named. Wilson “had a potential owner for Kamloops pop up in the last week,” but pursuing a team in the River City is not high on his agenda “unless the city folks have some interest.”

SPECIAL COMMITTEE ON TIMBER SUPPLY Chair: John Rustad, MLA (Nechako Lakes) Deputy Chair: Norm Macdonald, MLA (Columbia River–Revelstoke)
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:

Penalty-kick heartbreak
g
Losing in the playoffs is bad enough without being eliminated on penalty kicks. The under-14 Kamloops Blaze tier 2 boys were heartbroken after losing in a shootout to Penticon on the weekend in TOYSL playdown action. The game was scoreless after regulation and extra time. Kamloops will attend the Baker Blast tournament in Bellingham on the weekend.
Pest Treatment Options Have a landscape you can feel good about: Preventing pests initially is the best way to maintain plant health. However, pests and plant diseases do exist and sometimes need to be managed. Choose pest control methods that are least hazardous. Try the following strategies:
. .. .
Companion Planting Techniques to Manage Pests in Your Landscape Use host companion plants like Nasturtiums and small flowered plants to attract beneficial insects. Use companion plants as traps to distract or draw pests away. Rose gardeners use Geraniums. Use repellent companion plants like Marigolds to drive pests away.
.. .. .. .
Other Alternatives Replace pest-prone plants with pest-resistant varieties. Prune out infestations. Install pest barriers and sticky traps. Wash aphids and spider mites off your plants with a strong stream of water. Try a Btk spray (natural occurring bacteria) for caterpillar pests. Buy ladybugs to prey on pests like aphids, spider mites, mealybugs and other pests. Try an acetic acid spray for weeds in patios, pathways, and sidewalks.
Heading to the show The under-16 Kamloops Blaze earned a spot at the Youth Provincial A Cup championships. Kamloops beat hometown Prince George 3-1 on Saturday, June 16, and tied Prince George 1-1 on Sunday, June 17, to earn a spot at provincials. Logan Zimmerman, Zach Hanghofer, Austin Alentejano and Cole Belland score for Kamloops. The Blaze will compete at the Baker Blast tournament in Bellingham this weekend before the provincials in Kamloops, held from July 5 to July 8 on McArthur Island.

Smith taking different approach to draft day STAFF REPORTER
sports@kamloopsthisweek.com
There won’t be confetti on the ready and champagne on ice at the Smith household in Edmonton on Friday when it’s time for the NHL Draft. Colin Smith, a forward with the WHL’s Kamloops Blazers, had friends and family over for the big day last year, but his name was never called. “We pretty much watched the whole thing,” said Smith, who turned 19 on Wednesday, June 20. “I had some cousins come over. That was a bad decision.” The diminutive forward had a fantastic 2011-2012 campaign on a line with JC Lipon and Tim Bozon, both of whom are eligible for the draft, which runs on Friday, June 22, and Saturday, June 23, in Pittsburgh. Smith racked up 85 points, 35 of them goals, in 72 regularseason games and tacked on 10 points in 11 playoff games. The Edmonton product also led all forwards in plusminus at plus-31. Only shutdown D-man Tyler Hansen was better at plus-38. Smith said those numbers can’t hurt his draft stock, but, one year older and one year wiser, the playmaking centre is not getting his hopes up. “They’re usually looking for the prototypical player, like
a taller, bigger guy, but I’m not really that, so I don’t know . . .,” said Smith, who stands 5-foot-10 and weighs 172 pounds. “It’s a little different this time around because I understand more that it’s not really about the draft, it’s about what you do after.” Make no mistake, Smith will be watching TSN on Friday and following along on Saturday like many other hockey lovers. “It’s in the morning,” he said. “You’ve really got nothing better to do.” He just won’t be inviting his pals over for popcorn and, name called or not, he’ll be back in the gym — and perhaps the yoga studio — on Monday. “Monday to Friday it’s workouts and three times a week, yoga,” Smith said. “I’ve got really tight hips, like extremelty tight hips. It’s all about flexibility.” Blazers’ GM Craig Bonner advised the rest of his team to stay loose during the draft. “That’s a long day to sit through and wonder what’s going on,” Bonner said. “With technology today and social media, you’re going to find out. Maybe just get away and do something else.” For more on the draft, including a Q and A with Blazer forward Tim Bozon, turn to page A34.

STOP HAIR LOSS
Dr. C. Hammoud, Ph.D. recommends:
DEVILISH INTENTION
To reduce or stop hair loss for men and women
#77
Super advanced formula #77 Has been used successfully for many years KING SIZE - 2 months supply
All Natural Ingredients
With powerful DHT block, the recognized #1 cause of hair loss. Unique combination of ingredients make it a guaranteed superior product. Helps to rejuvenate your hair for a fuller and thicker appearance. Early prevention of baldness for those that have a family history. Pattern baldness (Androgenic Alopecia) is caused by an oversupply of hormones DHT (Dihydrotestosterone). It damages hair follicles over time unless preventive action is taken. #77 feeds the roots of the hair by supplying them with the best hair nutrient ever discovered. Help for people who are on radiation or chemo therapy or taking other drugs that cause hair loss. Read testimonials on the Bell website with names, phone numbers and email addresses: “My hair has stopped falling out...and my hair looks shinier and healthier.”; “After 30 days use I noticed I am losing less hair! My hair now looks fuller and the texture has improved.”; “Hair loss was noticeably reduced with first bottle!”; “After using Bell Stop Hair Loss #77 for 2 weeks my hair was not as thin anymore and at the end of the treatment of 2 months my little bald spot on the back of my head was growing over with little hair. This product helped to restore my youthful look.”
SNORING?
SLEEP APNEA?
As recommended by Dr. Gifford-Jones M. D. Often snorers also have sleep apnea which causes being tired all day, high blood pressure, heart attacks, strokes, irregular heartbeats (per FDA website). Millions suffer needlessly and can stop their nightly ordeals.
Kyle Sandulescu — seen here attempting to steal second against the Northwest Honkers — and the Kamloops Sun Devils are in Pacific International League baseball action this weekend at Norbrock Stadium. The Sun Devils are playing Langley twice on Saturday, June 23, at 1 p.m. and 4 p.m. Kamloops is hosting Burnaby on Sunday, June 24, with games at 11 a.m. and 1:30 p.m. George Wycherley/KTW
To my surprise, after taking Bell Snoring & Sleep Apnea Relief #23 I really didn’t snore or gasp for air anymore. I sleep through the night and feel rested and refreshed in the morning. Mark Wilson, 40, Hudson, NH Sleep apnea capsules worked first night! For last 15 years I had sleep apnea and my doctor made me buy a CPAP machine, which I could not use. Finally Bell #23 helped the first night and every night thereafter. Like a miracle. Unbelievable. Karen Braun, 67, Glace Bay, NS For 20 #23 years I was waking up frequently gasping for air. During the day I would start napping every time I would sit down, because I was tired. Since taking Bell #23 sleeping 6 hours is heaven. It made a substantial change in my life. Mary C. Myrick, 62, Jackson, MS It is such a joy not having to use the CPAP machine. I have had sleep apnea for 10 years. Using Bell#23, my wife says there is no more snoring or stoppage of breathing. It is such a joy to be able to roll to left or right with no hose or mask to deal with. Thank you Bell for a great relief. I suggest anyone with these problems to try it. You will be overjoyed with the results. Wayne Burse, 63, Beamsville, ON. Lost my husband because of sleep apnea in 2011. I had sleep apnea, too. I was scared to go to bed and have an heart attack like my husband. After taking Bell #23 I can now sleep for 5-6 hours peacefully without gasping for air. A blessing.

ACNE
By Dr. C. Hammoud Ph.D.
#60 Guaranteed better than all others they used say dozens of delighted users with full names and towns on the Bell website. Works by cleansing blood inside rather than attacking skin from the outside and leaving the actual cause untreated. Here are a few examples:
Eczema Psoriasis Rosacea Rashes
I had terrible Acne for 3 years and tried Benzoyl Peroxide, Proactiv, Aloe Vera and others. After 4 days taking the Bell natural product #60 it started to clear up my skin. My skin changed from terrible to beautiful. Mylene Theriault, 19, Sorel-Tracy, QC In 2 days my son’s face completely cleared up of acne. My son is 15 and suffered for 3 years. We used many products like laser, Clean Clear, Neem that did not work or burned his skin. Veronica Marden, Seminole, TX Unbelievable acne free beautiful skin Last couple of years I had acne and tried every product like Murad, Proactiv and antibiotics. Results with #60 were unbelievable. Thanks for giving me beautiful skin and my self-esteem. Nelisa Royer, 28, Doral, FL Within 6 days eczema cleared up completely. I believe #60 addresses the cause internally instead of the symptoms. Latifa Boutshik, 43, North York, ON I had severe psoriasis over 95% of my body. Last 5 years I have stunned every doctor and dermatologist. I spent tons of money on remedies. After I got Bell #60, I’ve never seen anything work as fast in my life. Within 2 days I saw my skin clearing up. I’m speechless. It was inexpensive compared with what I spent before. Jessica Shantz, 25, Dawson Creek, BC All statements made on the Bell website are sent by delighted users. All are real people. Most have listed phone numbers and can be called for advice. No money is paid to them. Their reward is the relief they are getting. All say #60 works within days not months, not years. It’s more effective than what they used before. It is less expensive (some acne suppliers ship monthly and charge monthly, which may amount to large sums yearly). No side effects were reported on #60. No need to make claims. Bell relays 100% truthful user’s free speech. No money is paid for it. No questions asked guarantee.

Bozon banter KTW caught up with Kamloops Blazers’ forward Tim bozon via email on Wednesday, June 20, two days before the NHL Draft in Pittsburgh. Bozon was asked how he plans to spend the big day and how he is feeling about the whole experience. Where are you watching the draft? — “I’m going to watch the draft live. I leave Thursday morning to Pittsburgh.” Which family members are going with you? — “I’m only going with my dad because the rest of my family is busy moving houses.” How are you feeling? — “I feel really good. I’m very excited and a bit nervous, but that’s normal. It’s gonna be something that I won’t forget and it’s something that I have been waiting for for so long . . . a dream come true.” How do you think you will react when your name is called? — “I will be really happy. I know I expect to be picked by a team now, but I will have emotions. I don’t want to say I’m going to cry, but I will be really happy and proud no matter which team picks me.” How was the NHL Draft combine (May 28 to June 2 in Toronto)? — “The combine was a really, really good experience. I had fun there with 18 interviews with NHL teams and, in total, I spoke with 22 teams during the year. I had a good feeling with them and I learned from the test that if you want to be a top player, you have to be prepared for that.” Did they ask you any weird questions? — “No, not really. It was really cool. It was funny and not really serious. They didn’t try to make me scared. I didn’t get bad questions. Only one team asked me how my girlfriend in Kamloops is doing. That was funny because I don’t have a girlfriend.”
Blazer draft notes X Bozon is a virtual lock to be taken in this year’s NHL draft. He will likely be picked in the second or third round. X Brendan Ranford was not signed by the Philadelphia Flyers, who selected the Blazers’ forward in the seventh round of the 2010 draft, and he will re-enter the draft this year. X Smith, his linemate Lipon, forwards Dylan Willick and Jordan DePape and defencemen Brady Gaudet, Marek Hrbas and Tyler Hansen are receiving draft buzz, but don’t be surprised if none of them are taken. X Forwards Aspen Sterzer and Brock Balson and defencemen Tyler Bell and Landon Cross round out the draft-eligible Blazers.

s p o o l m a K Idol Canada Day showdown for city’s best vocalists By Andrea Klassen STAFF REPORTER andrea@kamloopsthisweek.com
Karaoke heroes and amateur singing sensations take note: Kamloops is on the hunt for its next idol. The annual Kamloops Idol contest is back for its fourth year and auditions to select the 30 to 40 contestants who will vie for the top prize begin next week. Organizer Alan Corbishley of B.C. Living Arts said he’s expecting about 100 people to audition for a spot on the Canada Day stage, with performers of all ages signing up to show their stuff. “We’ve had people from our minimum age requirement, which is 14, up to people in their 70s,� he said.
“It ranges. It’s pretty much everyone. Anyone who enjoys doing it or karaoke or just singing in general. There is no real particular candidate, really.� South Kamloops secondary student Claire Carlson-Mitton, 14, is one local singer primed for the competition. While she hasn’t decided what she’ll sing during tryouts, Lady GaGa is high on the list. “I thought that would be kind of cool to do,� she said. “I like taking poppy songs and trying to make them more acoustic, so I might do some of that.� A performer since age 11, Claire has busked and performed around the city, lending her voice and acoustic guitar to the
Relay for Life and the Kamloops Central Business Improvement Association’s Live at Lunch series. “When I was in Grade 5, I listened to a lot of Taylor Swift and I liked her story,� Claire said. “She started off just playing guitar, so I thought I’d learn how, too.� Those who make it through the Idol auditions will offer up their takes on pop, rock and country favourites over the course of this year’s Canada Day celebrations, with the final winners announced at about 7 p.m. In past competitions, singers have received private feedback after their sets but, this year, Corbishley is considering letting the audi-
ence in on the judges’ thoughts, so long as the contestants agree. Singers can triumph in two categories — audience and judges’ choice — though past winners have sometimes taken home both trophies. “I just want to have a fun time,� said Claire. “I think it would be really fun just to play on stage and it’s probably good exposure if I do make it past the auditions. The exposure would be really great.� This year, auditions
will also open to a new group, with the introduction of Kamloops Mini Idol. The competition for eight- to 13-year-olds, includes a semifinal showdown at Aberdeen Mall on Saturday, June 30, along with a morning competition on the day of the main Idol show. “We would always get people calling to ask if their daughter or son could do it and they were always below the age requirement,� said Corbishley.
“We’d always wanted to include a category for younger people and just never got the opportunity to do it.� Auditions for Mini Idol are at McGowan Park elementary on Monday, June 25; Arthur Hatton elementary on Tuesday, June 26; Beattie elementary on Wednesday, June 27; and David Thompson elementary on Thursday, June 28. All are at 3 p.m. Tryouts for older singers go at the Aberdeen Mall on
Thursday, June 28, and Friday, June 29. Pre-registration for both events is encouraged to ensure an audition timeslot. Go to kamloopslive. ca to enter (mini idols can register through the school where they plan to audition). Registration fees are $10 for mini idol and $20 for regular competition. For more information on audition times, locations and contest rules, go online to bclivingarts.ca.

Mainstage brings best of community theatre to Kamloops By Dale Bass STAFF REPORTER dale@kamloopsthisweek
The curtain may be drawn on Western Canada Theatre productions for the summer but 10 of the best amateur productions in the province will take over the stage at Sagebrush Theatre next week. The 79th annual Mainstage will bring about 200 actors, technical staff, directors and others involved in creating theatre — as well as their family and friends — to Kamloops for the week-long festival. Vance Schneider, executive director of Theatre B.C., which sponsors the annual event, said Mainstage is what all community theatre groups are aiming for when they perform. The province is divided into 10 zones, Schneider said, and theatre groups in each compete at that level for a chance to move to the provincial stage. The River City is in the Okanagan zone and the Kamloops Players sent its production of Dearly Departed to the zone finals, losing to Vernon’s Powerhouse
Theatre production of The Woman in Black, which will wrap up the festival. Vancouver-born actor and singer Jeff Hyslop is the adjudicator for Mainstage and will perform several functions during the festival. He’ll address the audience after every performance, giving it a bit of insight into the production just seen. He’ll also take part in critiques the following day that are open to the public, where Hyslop will review in more detail the play and talk about the things he liked and didn’t like. The critiques will be held at the Old Courthouse Cultural Centre at various times; details are available online at tbcmainstage. ca/node/54. Theatre-related workshops will be held throughout the week at Pavilion Theatre on aspects ranging from acting and directing to technical and costume design. Among those heading the workshops are Christopher Weddell, Sherri May, Ross Nichol and Alan Corbishley.
The festival kicks off on Saturday, June 30 at 6 p.m. with a reception at Sagebrush Theatre, complete with entertainment, a silent auction and refreshments. The reception is open to all ticket holders, registrants and their guests. There are also greenroom socials every night after theatre for actors, crew, audience and volunteers. The week ends with a banquet and awards cremony at the Kamloops Convention Centre theatre on Saturday, July 7. This is where 16 Thespian awards — bronze and copper statues — wll be presented in 16 categories. Schneider said he’s working on providing
an online simulcast of the awards presenta-
tion for those who are unable to stay through
to the end of the festival.

Art-market sales are red-hot

HINA, INDIA, HONG KONG AND, YES, CANADA ARE SETTING RECORDHIGH PRICES WHEN IT COMES TO BUYING ART. Wrapping up their spring auction, which included works from artists like A.Y. Jackson and Lawren Harris, Emily Carr and Daphne Odjig, as well as Quebec’s Jean-Paul Riopelle, Jean Paul Lemieux and Paul-Émile Borduas, Heffel Auction House in Vancouver sold 168 lots, for a staggering $14.6 million, far exceeding organizers expectations by more than $4 million. Heffel’s success has not only promoted the work of Canadian artists to local collectors, it has also expanded the profile of Canadian artists on the world stage.
JANN BAILEY Guest SHOT As an industry leader, Heffel holds more than 60 per cent market share of worldwide Canadian art-auction sales, generating more than $260 million in sales since 1995. In addition to Jean Paul Lemieux’s La plage américaine selling for $1.8 million and Emily Carr’s Eagle Totem going for $1.6 million, five new auction records were established during Heffel’s Spring 2012 Auction. • JEH MacDonald’s Early Autumn, Montreal
River, Algoma created a bidding war and sold for $526,500, well beyond the expected $80,000 to $100,000 and setting a record for a sketch by MacDonald. • Christopher Pratt’s artwork Landing sold for a record price of $198,900. • E.J. Hughes’ After a Movie, on Kiska, 1943 set a record for a drawing and sold for $52,650. • Walter J. Phillips’ Karlukwees, BC sold for $40,950. • Alexander Colville’s Study for Woman, Dog & Canoe, sold for a record $46,800. • Odjig’s Awakening of Spring sold for $70,200; the anticipated sale price was $20,000 to $25,000. On the international scene, the sale that had the most-recent attention was that of was Edvard Munch’s iconic

Edvard Munch’s The Sream sold for $120 million recently, setting a record as the most-expensive piece of art sold at an auction.
painting The Scream, which sold for approximately $120 million — becoming the most-
expensive artwork ever sold at auction. Less than a week later, Mark Rothko’s
Orange, Red, Yellow sold for nearly $87 million. From 2003 to 2007, the fine-art market grew faster than subprime housing in the U.S. and the auction world felt it had reached the pinnacle of a global bubble. However, other than a brief decline at the beginning of the economic crisis, it has continued to grow. Eleven of the 20 highest prices ever paid at auction worldwide have occurred since 2008, during a time when the global economy has all but buckled. In 2003, for example, sales at Christie’s Hong Kong totalled $98 million; last year, they were $836 million. In the art world, we are accustomed to prices shifting up and
down and keenly follow fluctuations in fair market value. However, this unprecedented growth is extraordinary and is partially driven by collectors who clearly have investment in mind. Most people who create, trade and collect art do it for a much simpler reason. They just like it! As most in the field will tell a new collector, always look at the painting before the price — and only buy what you like and can afford. Collecting is its own reward.

TRAVEL
Sensational safaris on a shoestring By Julie Ferguson SPECIAL TO KTW travelwriterstales.com
S
OUTH AFRICA IS VERY PRICEFRIENDLY — BUT SAFARIS NOT SO MUCH. My travelling companions and I sought two contrasting safaris that also permitted use of our rental car for game drives. We discovered two little-known national parks that are below most tourists’ radar — both proved just as breathtaking as the more-famous Kruger National Park to the north and were malariafree. The HluhluweImfolozi Reserve is the oldest park in South Africa (est.1895) and once the hunting grounds of Zulu kings. Located 240 kilometres north of Durban on an excellent highway, its name is pronounced “sh-shluey,” preferably with a spit! The thatched Hilltop Lodge offers all the amenities of a good hotel and serves huge breakfast and dinner buffets. Our two-night, three-day adventure package included the buffets, four guided game drives and a two bedroomed-cottage for $402 each. The Vervet monkeys were free. The game drives set out at dawn and dusk, so meals had to fit around them. It made for long days, late dinners and short nights. A nap in the heat of the day while animals sleep was essential; so were insect repellent, sunscreen, snacks and water. At 5 p.m., we excitedly scrambled onto a high seat in the back of a 10-passenger Land Rover — an open vehicle that delivers excellent viewing above tall grasses and shrubs. For three hours, we wound along rust-red trails over hills covered with lush vegetation and through treed valleys with rushing

streams. January means summer rains; May to August is drier and a better time to visit. Abruptly, the ranger stopped and pointed out an endangered black rhino grazing alone not 50 feet away. (Hluhluwe has the largest number of rhino of any park in Africa). We turned another corner and nearly ran into giraffe and zebra. After that, the game appeared thick, fast and close until the sun set. But, the best came after dark, when we disturbed a lion in the middle of the trail. He hightailed into the bush but stopped and, with the aid of a spotlight, I counted his teeth when he yawned. Over the next two days, Hluhluwe never stopped thrilling — at dawn, seven white rhinos on a hilltop and two cuddling in a wallow, an elegant male Impala with his harem in a sun-dappled glade, owls and vultures peering from trees, a crocodile half-submerged in a stream, huge herds of jet-black cape buffalo, and one spotted hyena scavenging a lion kill. We quickly learned where and how to spot game and used our rental car to do a final drive through the reserve’s southern section. We never saw leopards or elephants in Hluhluwe, but the latter were to come.
After a 75-minute flight south to Port Elizabeth, we drove 60 kilometres to Addo, a small African village. Although Addo Elephant National Park offers a variety of good accommodation, we choose a B&B for about $50 each per night in a cottage. The next morning dawned hot and humid at Addo, where greygreen scrub covers dry hills — quite a change from Hluhluwe’s lushness. Instead of a guided drive, we opted for our air-conditioned car and drove a dirt road to a
ridge overlooking the park. There we saw an enormous herd of elephants below us. Kicking up a plume of dust, we hurtled down into the valley. Two hundred strong, the wild herd surrounded us, rumbling and grunting. “This herd’s thriving,” Fred, the biologist, pointed out, never lowering his binoculars. “Look at all the newborns and juveniles.” Babies slid into a big mud hole and disappeared underwater; up came their trunks
like periscopes. They emerged glistening in the noonday sun. This muddy waterhole is their swimming pool and each family group took a 30-minute turn cooling down in it. On the right was their drinking hole, where the elephants stood carefully on the edge. It was steamy in the car with windows open and, after two hours, we headed for lunch. Afterward, we sought different game at Addo’s other waterholes. We found red hartebeest, Egyptian geese, ibis and warthogs by the pools and several regal kudu in the bush. We were drawn back to the elephants at day’s end. Juvenile males sparred and mothers hummed to their babies. Dung beetles scurried across the road, maneuvering their balls between grey feet that are constantly moving. At sundown, we dragged ourselves away, marvelling at an experience of a lifetime that only cost $20 each. The memories of Hluhluwe and Addo still fill my dreams —
Africa captured my heart.

Pattern of harassment needed for peace bond to be issued
P
EOPLE SEEK PROTECTION ORDERS FOR A VARIETY OF REASONS AND IN A VARIETY OF SITUATIONS. Orders may be sought to prevent violence or damage to property by a coworker, a neighbour or a relative other than a spouse. While the greatest number of these orders are issued by the courts to women seeking protection from their male partner or ex-partner, they are also available to same-sex couples or to men who need protection from their female partner or ex-partner. There are two primary types: Peace bonds and restraining orders. Due to the complexity of the topic, we will only cover peace bonds in this article. A peace bond is a court order made by a provincial-court judge. The bond requires the defendant to keep the peace, be of good behaviour and comply with other specified conditions for a maximum of 12 months. Other conditions may include no contact with the applicant directly or indirectly; a no-go order for a location or radius; to abide by a curfew; to surrender all firearms and weapons; to abstain from alcohol and drugs; and to submit to police requests for breath demands. In order to be eligible for a bond, an applicant must show a genuine fear for their life, their children’s lives or their property is in danger.
There must be a documented pattern of past violence or harassment against the applicant. To apply for a peace bond, applicants must provide a statement to police outlining the circumstances under which a peace bond is required. An officer will conduct an investigation and note the cause for the peace bond. If the officer determines the criteria for a bond has been met, the officer will prepare a report to Crown counsel for consideration. The Crown counsel will review the report and either approve or decline the request. If the request is approved, a hearing date will be set in provincial court. Both applicant and defendant will be required to go to court. The defendant may hire counsel for
court representation as the applicant will be represented by Crown counsel. Both sides will present their cases to the judge, who will make the decision whether the peace bond will be granted or declined. If the bond is granted, the defendant will not receive a criminal record unless the court order is breached. If the defendant fails to comply with the peace bond, a further court date may be set to deal with the matter. While protection orders are not failsafe, they provide people with another level of personal security. For further information about peace bonds and restraining orders, phone the Kamloops RCMP Victim Service Unit at 250-828-3223 or drop by 560 Battle St. The preceding is part of a series of informational articles aimed at increasing public awareness about the services provided by the Kamloops Victim Services Unit. The unit offers a variety of information and services, at no cost, to any victim or witness of crime or trauma. All members have received specialized, comprehensive training in victims’ issues, the criminal justice system and crisis intervention techniques. The Unit is at the main Police Detachment at 560 Battle Street. Victim Services operates 24 hours a day, seven days a week and may be accessed by calling 250-828-3223.

A main project of the Kamloops Communities in Bloom Committee is to enhance the Red Bridge as it symbolizes the history being celebrated during this Bicentennial year, Two Peoples, Two Rivers, 200 Years. The Lorne Street entrance now has a xeriscape garden, and both a heritage recognition plaque provided by the City of Kamloops Heritage Commission and a bench donated by Kamloops KIA are installed. Improved signage and kiosks with the 125 year history of the first Kamloops bridge are being prepared for the Lorne St. entrance and Pioneer Park. A final goal is to illuminate the bridge at night with red solar powered LED lights enhancing the panoramic view of Kamloops from the ground and the air. The Committee is now seeking public donations to complete the Red Bridge Enhancement Project. The Heritage Legacy Fund of British Columbia provided a grant for panels on two kiosks describing the bridge’s history. Another grant from the Canada Heritage: Building Communities through Arts and Heritage will partially fund one kiosk but more funds are needed to build another kiosk and light the Red Bridge. The project is supported by City Council, Parks Department, Kamloops Museum and the Tk’emlúps te Secwepémc Band. Consultation with the Area Bridge Manager is ongoing as the bridge is owned and maintained by the Province. The Red Bridge is a vital part of Kamloops’ history. Before the first Red Bridge was built in 1887, ranchers transported their cattle and grain on a dangerous raft pulled by a canoe. Why was it necessary to build a second bridge in 1912 and the third and current bridge in 1936? Why is it called the Red Bridge? Why was the bridge saved from demolition in 1968? These and other questions will be answered on the kiosks attracting both locals and tourists to the downtown area.
Everyone can help by becoming a Friend of the Red Bridge.

Is coconut oil a cure-all? SIMONE JENNINGS Healthy HELPINGS
more than just fat. They also contain antioxidants and other nutrients, so their overall effects can’t be predicted just by changes in cholesterol. Yet, he still recommends using sparingly. My thoughts are, if you use coconut oil, choose a virgin oil and use in moderation, along with a variety of heart-healthy fats like olive oil, nuts and avocados. I have coconut oil in my cupboard next to a variety of other plantbased oils. I think coconut oil tastes delicious, has a longer shelf life than other oils and is good for cooking at high temperatures. I sometimes use it when making a stir fry or add it to my rice or oatmeal to give a yummy coconut flavour. I’ve even used it when making stove-top popcorn. It also works well for moisturizing dry skin. A cure-all? I need more proof, but versatile and tasty? Yes! Simone Jennings is a registered dietitian in Kamloops.
Safe and delicious: The way salads should be With warmer days finally on the horizon, who isn’t looking forward to preparing a crisp, summerfresh salad made with delicious leafy greens? While the Canadian climate doesn’t allow for home-grown greens throughout the year, we can find healthy and safe leafy greens from a sunny state south of the border — California. With more than 86 per cent of the total U.S. lettuce exports going to Canada, it’s not an exaggeration to say Canadians are important customers to California. Since fresh summer salads are a Canadian favourite, here are some helpful tips on how to safely store and prepare your leafy greens: Check: • Make sure the leafy greens you buy are fresh and not damaged; • Do not buy packaged salads and leafy greens that are not refrigerated at the store. Chill: • Refrigerate all cut or cooked leafy greens within two hours. • Throw away leafy greens that have not been refrigerated within two hours of cutting, peeling or cooking.
Clean: • Wash hands with warm water and soap for at least 20 seconds before and after handling fresh leafy greens. • Clean with hot wataer and soap all surfaces and utensils that will be or have been in contact with fresh greens before and after food preparation. • Remove and throw away damaged portions of leafy greens when preparing to cook them or before eating them raw. Separate: • Separate leafy greens from household chemicals and raw foods such as meat, poultry and seafood in your shopping cart and in grocery bags at the checkout counter. • Keep leafy greens separate from raw meat, poultry or seafood in your refrigerator. Throw away: • Cook or throw away greens that have touched raw meat, poultry, seafood or their juices. • When in doubt, throw away leafy greens that have been sitting in your fridge for a long time or have been in contact with raw meat, poultry or seafood. newscanada.com

saturated fat is created equally. Our bodies metabolize the fat from coconuts differently because it is high in something called medium chain triglycerides (MCTs). MCTs are transported directly from the intestines to the liver, where they are burned as fuel and cause a slight rise in metabolic rate. This has given coconut oil the reputation of promoting weight loss. Unfortunately, there are few studies done on coconut oil and weight loss and significant benefits have not been seen. Maybe more research is needed? Or, maybe we can’t count on a single food to melt away the pounds. The big question is: If we know it is high in saturated fat, will add-
ing coconut oil to the diet do more harm than good to heart health? Coconut oil increases both good and bad cholesterol levels. We know increasing bad cholesterol increases the risk for heart disease, but it is not clear if increasing good cholesterol at the same time will counteract or lower that risk. This is why many major organizations, including the World Health Organization, American Heart Association and Dietitians of Canada still recommend against using significant amounts of coconut oil. However, I cannot ignore the fact fresh coconuts and unrefined coconut oil have been part of traditional diets in tropical countries around the world for many years. When studies were done in the Polynesian islands, where people consume most of their fat from coconuts, there were no findings heart disease was a significant problem. A physician from the Harvard School of Public Health points out plant-based oils, including coconut oil, contain

OCONUT OIL HAS GAINED A LOT OF ATTENTION IN RECENT YEARS. It has a reputation of being the new super food, protecting against cancer and heart disease, improving digestion, curing Alzheimer’s disease, promoting weight loss — the list goes on. Yet, major health organizations are not on board with the claims as they are not well supported by scientific studies. Why the hype, then? I thought I would dig a little deeper into the topic to better understand why health professionals are at odds with popular Internet health claims. What makes coconut oil unique? First, it is about 90 per cent saturated fat. In comparison, butter contains about 64 per cent saturated fat, olive oil 13 per cent and canola oil seven per cent. Saturated fat is considered the bad fat that increases risks for heart disease and is primarily found in animal foods. It turns out not all

Greatest coronation is coming, by and by
T
HE QUEEN’S DIAMOND CORONATION JUBILEE IS JUST OVER, BUT THERE’S A CROWNING DAY COMING FOR THE GREATEST OF ALL MONARCHS. We measure things pretty much by time and calendars. Clocks and calendars revolve around the sun —but there is to be a new day, the crowning day of One that is coming by and by. This old earth of ours has had some remarkable coronation scenes — that of the czars in Russia, the kings and queens of Europe and even the installation of innumerable democratically elected presidents and prime ministers. But, these coronations, famous as they have been, pale into
NARAYAN MITRA You Gotta Have FAITH insignificance in comparison with the day that is coming, the crowning day of the King of kings when “There shall be upon His head many diadems” (Revelation 19:12). Have you noticed the choruses in the book of Revelationa, the revelation of Jesus to John and through John? Those who love music ought to turn occasionally to Revelations. It is the music book.
It is the story of Christ crowned, which includes the chaining of the pretender prince. The music begins in the bit that is marked off as chapter one. John has begun to write down the story of what came to him at Patmos. All at once, he gets a vision of the face of Jesus and he bursts out in a ringing solo, in the major key, “Unto Him that loved us and washed us from our sins in His own blood.” Then we turn to chapter four. There is a quartet called the quartet of the living creatures. Iin chapter five, there is what I might call the sextuple quartet – six times four. The 24 leading men take up the song of the quartet. We can hear the quartet still singing
back yonder. Then, swinging into the front is the sextuple quartet of leaders, taking up the same song, singing back and forth. As their music softens away in the distance, though we still hear it, there is the angel chorus. John, who was fairly well up in mathematics, tried to count them. He counted 10,000 and he had to multiply that by 10,000. Then, on to the creation chorus in chapter five. Here, in heaven, all creation takes up the song. By and by, they soften away as a new chorus swings in; the minor note is deep here and touches your heart. In chapter 14, there is the virgins’ chorus, the chorus of the pure ones, those who have
been washed and made pure. They sing the song nobody else can sing. Back and forth they sing until the very vaults of heaven seem shaken by the music of the pure ones. Finally, in chapter 19, we get the combined chorus. It is the Hallelujah Chorus — the solo, the quartet, the sextuple quartet, the angels, the creation, the martyrs, the pure ones — all together. What are they singing? There are variations in the music, in the words, but the undertone of the strain throughout is this: “Crown Him, Lord of all!” Who is this to be crowned? Jesus, the Saviour, the King of kings, the One who was so scarred
with the thorns, but now is glorified. Hush your heart. Look yonder — a stable, the cattle, a young mother, a baby in a manger, born as no other before or since. Look again, the olive grove and the Man so human that He longed for human fellowship. But He must go on alone. There could be no fellowship with Him in what He is going to do on the morrow. He is on His knees, on His face and already, some drops of blood of the Son of God are fertilising the soil of the earth. On the morrow after Gethsemane, He hangs on the cross, done to death, by His own choice, for all men. It is He! In Joseph’s tomb, buried in the earth.
But, lift your hearts, the tomb is sheer empty. One other word. Who will have part in the crowning? Who will have share in that gracious, wondrous, coronation day? Those who crown Him now Lord of all will have a share in that wondrous crowning day by and by. We do not really crown Him Lord at all until we crown Him Lord of all. We can take Him as Saviour and also economize our time on earth by crowning Him as King in our lives. It can be one transaction. Who will have share in that great coronation day? Those who crown Him now. narayanmitra @hotmail.com
