Weather man says hot, dry days here By Andrea Klassen STAFF REPORTER andrea@kamloopsthisweek.com

Few people in Kamloops will be surprised to learn June was a wet month for the Tournament Capital. Just over 74 millimetres of rain fell on the city last month, more than twice what the city would normally get during its rainy season (35.2 millimetres is the average). In the 61 years Environment Canada has kept tabs on rainfall, only two Junes have been wetter. Even 1999, the last time Kamloops experienced significant flooding before 2012, was slightly drier — albeit, only by a millimetre. Where the city normally sees measurable rainfall on 11 days in June, weather data shows 18 wet days this year. The greatest downpour came on June 23, when more than 18 millimetres fell on the city, setting a new daily record in the process. It was also a cooler month for the city, with a mean temperature of 16.7 C instead of the usual 18 C. Environment Canada meteorologist Jim Steele said June is normally a cooler, rainier month for Kamloops, as upper disturbances move in from the coast bringing widespread showers. But, this month, nature went a little overboard. “We could just about name these things as they came through and have run out of names,” Steele said. “Now, we’re in July and the cold lows seem to have quit.” For the rest of the summer, Steele said the outlook returns to normal. If the weather sticks to the plan, Kamloops should see daytime highs in the high 20s in early July, rising to the 30-degree mark from mid-July to mid-August. A typical summer also includes 11 days per month of above-30 C weather and two to three days of above-35 C in both July and August. Steele said the outlook also calls for less rain than average through the summer. Even if that prediction isn’t correct, he said both months usually get “not even half of what we got in June.” The drying pattern should begin this weekend, when temperatures are expected to creep into the low 30s, Steele said. They could get as high as the mid-30s by next week. “Summer is here,” he added. “Let’s hope it sticks.”

Hungry? The Chalet will soon be open
‘Special’ trees whet interest By Andrea Klassen STAFF REPORTER andrea@kamloopsthisweek.com
By Tim Petruk
When eight milimetres of rain fell on McArthur Island Park on June 23, a staggering 100 litres of water ran down the trunk of a single American beech. That “one, crazy tree” is what Julie Taylor Schooling points to when explaining why she’s decided to spend two years studying the way 40 trees in the North Shore park intercept and funnel rainwater. “That is not a tree you’d want in a sidewalk situation or anywhere where erosion is a concern or anywhere where you’ve got unstable soils,” said Schooling, a masters student in the environmentalsciences program at Thompson Rivers University. For the past few weeks, Schooling and a team of volunteers have been measuring stemflow — the amount of water that flows down a tree trunk when it rains — on 40 McArthur Island trees of varying species. Each tree is fitted with a collar, which funnels the rain into a 17-litre bucket, placed inside a larger plastic tote. In most cases, Schooling said, the bucket has enough room to catch any rain rolling down the tree. But, in the case of the beech and a couple other high-flow species (certain types of maples and Schubert chokecherries), the extra room the tote provides has been essential. During the heavy rain on June 23, Schooling said the beech’s tote “was just bulging out” when volunteers checked in on it. Even a more recent three-milimetre rainfall saw the beech tree produce almost a full bucket of flow. “We’re looking at this tree going, what makes you so special?” said Schooling. “We’ve got some time to figure this out — is it bark, is it branches, is it leaves? It’s going to be interesting to try and tease that all apart.” She’s hoping her research, conducted in partnership with City of Kamloops, will show what trees can ease groundwater problems, and which might make them worse. “It’s a right-tree, right-place thing,” she said.

It might have been the worst-kept, saucedrenched secret in Kamloops but now it’s official — Swiss Chalet is coming to town. An official with Cara Operations — the casualdining chain’s parent company — confirmed the restaurant will be moving in to the old Tony Roma’s location on Hillside Drive. “Construction is set to begin in early August, and it’s projected to be open in late November,” said the employee, who spoke to KTW on the condition of anonymity. Swiss Chalet is a Canadian restaurant chain with more than 200 locations. The first store opened in Toronto in 1954. The restaurant is known for its chicken and rib dinners — something Kamloops residents have previously had to drive to Kelowna to enjoy — and its signature “Chalet Sauce.” The company claims its chicken dish is based on a Swiss recipe. Swiss Chalet’s move into the old rib joint, which closed in 2010, has been rumoured for months. Cara Operations also operates Milestone’s — which is in the same Aberdeen Village shopping centre the future Swiss Chalet location will be located.
New options for dinner
Julie Schooling checks on one of 40 trees on McArthur Island selected as part of studies to develop profiles to determine tree species that typically funnel rainwater to their root base or shed rainwater to the tree-canopy areas. The studies are part of urban-forest management and architectual integrated storm water management being conducted for the City of Kamloops. George Wycherley/KTW
While other researchers have studied rain-tree interactions, Schooling said most of the work has focused on forests, not individual trees in urban settings. “Compared to natural situations, people have much more control over what gets
planted in an urban situation,” she said. “This is just adding in another layer to that decision-making.” To volunteer with the project, or learn more about Schooling’s work, go online to kamloops.ca/stormwatertrees.
When Swiss Chalet’s Aberdeen location is up and running later this year, it likely won’t be alone as a new option for hungry Kamloops residents. Other eateries believed to be in the works include Original Joe’s, Browns Socialhouse, Moxie’s and Shark Club — the latter two potentially as part of the new Sandman Hotel going up kitty-corner from Interior Savings Centre. Original Joe’s is an Alberta-based chain of pubstyle restaurants. Headquartered in the Lower Mainland, Browns Socialhouse operates 13 locations in B.C. and Saskatchewan. Moxie’s bills itself as a “premium-casual” restaurant, and has more than 60 locations in six provinces. Shark Club is a chain of sports bars based in Calgary, with locations across Alberta and B.C. In recent months, Kamloops eaters have welcomed new chains including Five Guys Burgers and Fries, Cora’s, Papa John’s, Baskin Robbins, Burger King and Opa.

The City of Kamloops is working together with the RCMP and Kamloops residents to address speeding concerns in residential neighbourhoods. It’s usually neighbours, unfortunately, not strangers, who are the ones driving too fast past our homes. As part of balancing the installation of infrastructure or increasing police patrols where speeding complaints are rising, the city is trying a good neighbour approach. Based on similar programs in the Fraser Valley, the “Hey Neighbour – Please community to help inform their neighbours that driving fast within their neighbourhood is not acceptable. The success of the program is dependent on buy-in from the residents in the neighbourhood. Through the community association a block captain coordinates the campaign with the City. Residents must agree to post lawn signs calling for motorists to slow down. These sign messages are considered an awareness and educational tool for all motorists as well as local residents. In order to achieve a strong neighbourhood impact, the signs are clustered within a designated block for a period of one to two weeks. The number of signs and the short period in which the signs are installed achieve an immediate impact. The RCMP monitors areas where the signs are put up to measure driver response. In addition, the City conducts speed studies before the signs go up, while they are up and after the signs are removed at the end of the campaign. neighbourhoods and will provide all lawn signs and forms. The program is intended for properties on local and some collector roads, not for main or arterial roads. Community associations that are interested in participating in the program can contact Colleen Lepik at clepik@kamloops.ca.

Federal riding about to change Goodbye 100 Mile House — redistribution will move it STAFF REPORTER andrea@kamloopsthisweek.com
The boundaries of the KamloopsThompson-Cariboo riding are set to shrink, thanks to changes proposed by the Federal Electoral Boundaries Commission for B.C. The new version of the federal riding would no longer include 100 Mile House, which would become part of the Chilliwack-Fraser Canyon Riding. To the north, Valemount voters would
start casting ballots for the Peace River-Prince George MP. Commission chairman John Hall said the riding, like several in the Interior, was trimmed down to try to bring its population in line with the 105,000person limit set out for each riding. But, even the shrunken version of Kamloops-ThompsonCariboo is a bit higher than the standard, with a population of 111,231. That’s true of several
fast-growing ridings in the region, including Kelowna-Lake Country (proposed population 111,577) and North Okanagan-Shuswap (112,399). “All of the ridings in the Interior are a bit over the median, because we have about 50,000 people too many to keep them at the quotient of 105,000,” said Hall. “But, we don’t have enough — we would need 90,000 to 100,000 people to create a new riding.”
Survey says — Kamloopsians want to buy, eat local food By Andrea Klassen STAFF REPORTER andrea@kamloopsthisweek.com
A year-round farmers’ market and changes to zoning regulations for urban farms are two of the suggestions to come out of the city’s first survey for its agriculture-area plan. The results, released on kamloops.ca last week, look at what food producers, retailers and customers want when it comes to local agriculture. For all three groups, a year-round market was a key goal, said city planning technician Maren Luciani. “That was one of the items that seemed to come up time and time again,” she said. Luciani said the survey showed the city needs to give farmers within its boundaries more flexibility when it comes to zoning regulations. “We have the zoning bylaw and it doesn’t necessarily meet the needs of the local agricultural industry,” she said, adding some land uses allowed by the province’s Agricultural Land Use Commission aren’t supported by the city’s bylaws.
When redrawing the ridings, Hall said the commission tried to look at how communities historically interact with each other and where the lines of communication and transport are throughout the province. “Really, what you’re trying to do is have effective representation by the member of parliament,” he said. The commission also had to fit six new ridings into the province — 30 seats are being added across the country in advance of the 2015 federal election to account for increases in population — though none of them are coming to the Interior.
The commission will host public hearings on the proposed changes later this year, with a stop in Kamloops set for Oct. 11 at the Kamloops Convention Centre at 7 p.m. Those wishing to make a presentation at the hearing are asked to contact the commission by Aug. 30 with their names, contact information and a brief description of what they want to speak about. Once hearings are complete, the revised electoral map will go to Ottawa for review and feedback from MPs. For more information on the hearings, go online to federalredistribution.ca.

One way to change that might be to bring in a special farm bylaw that could deal with issues like seasonal housing, water management and buffering between farm and nonfarm properties. According to the survey, which was filled out by more than 400 people, there’s plenty of support in the Tournament Capital for local food. Of the 298 people who filled out the consumer portion of the survey, almost 80 per cent said they try to buy local and frequent farmers’ markets. Only half of respondents said they try to eat organic. Kamloops eaters said they’d also be willing to pay more to eat local, with most willing to pay between five and 20 per cent more for the privilege. Only 18 per cent of those surveyed said they wouldn’t shell out more for food produced here. Local farmers, meanwhile, said they’re mostly being supported by their neighbours and 70 per cent of growers feel their farming business is successful.

Joyriding trio has some explaining to do were called a house on Abbeyglen Way after a Dodge Charger crashed into a hydro box and rolled, landing on its side on a nearby driveway. Investigators believe the car was being driven by a 15-year-old boy — with another boy the same age riding shotgun and a girl, 13, in the back seat.
By Tim Petruk STAFF REPORTER
tim@kamloopsthisweek.com
A trio of joyriding Kamloops teens was lucky to escape serious injury after a spectacular single-vehicle crash on a quiet Aberdeen street on Tuesday afternoon (July 3). At about 2:30 p.m., emergency crews
That was no hood — just a hoodie It came in as a reported hostage-taking — a man forcing a woman, at gunpoint, down a corridor in a North Kamloops building, her hands raised above her head — and it tied up police resources for nearly two hours. The call, at about 2:20 a.m. on July 4, was from a security company in Toronto monitoring surveillance-video feeds from across Canada, including the Library Square development on Tranquille Road. Workers watching the feed called RCMP dispatch in Kelowna, which alerted officers in Kamloops. What followed was an exhaustive attempt by Mounties — some of them armed with shotguns — to locate the armed hostage taker. The investigation was slowed by the fact the alarm company did not
know where the camera was located, or that it was operating on a 15-minute delay. After an hour and a half, Kamloops RCMP got a copy of the video to see for themselves what had prompted the emergency response. What did they see? A man with a flashlight walking behind someone adjusting their hoodie. “There was, in fact, no emergency,” said Kamloops RCMP Staff Sgt. Grant Learned. “But, for about 90 minutes, we had officers tied up.” Learned said the situation lasted so long because of the convoluted process of communication — the security company speaking to a complaint taker in Kelowna, who passed the information on to a dispatcher, who was directing officers over the radio.

“They were all wearing their seatbelts, which is remarkable,” said Kamloops RCMP Staff Sgt. Grant Learned. “They all got out of the vehicle on their own . . . and they all walked away.” Police are contemplating a charge against the driver under the Motor Vehicle Act for driving without a licence. Beyond that, Learned said, any criminal charge
would require more evidence than has so far been available. He said potential criminal charges — dangerous operation of a motor vehicle and theft over $5,000 — will be looked at as the investigation progresses. “We still have to interview the registered owner of the vehicle to establish firsthand how they came to have possession of the vehicle,”

Learned said. Learned said the car belongs to the parents of the 15-year-old passenger. Witnesses told police they saw the Charger travelling at speeds as high as 120 km/h prior to the crash, which also damaged two parked vehicles. The crash also left 1,500 BC Hydro customers without power for more than two hours.

Flood watch abates By Andrea Klassen STAFF REPORTER andrea@kamloopsthisweek.com
As the city of Kamloops begins dismantling its floodprotection system, boaters can return to some sections of the Thompson rivers. RCMP lifted their watercraft ban on the North Thompson and the part of the South Thompson west of the river confluence toward Kamloops Lake. The ban on the South Thompson from the confluence east to Lafarge — essentially, to Kamloops city limits — remains. “We conducted a test in the morning and confirmed that neither our police boat nor the Kamloops Fire Rescue watercraft could get under the CN Trestle Bridge east of Pioneer Park,” said RCMP Staff Sgt. Grant Learned.
Other navigational concerns factored into the decision to keep the ban. Some of the marker bouys along the waterway are underwater and, Learned said, there is a concern some of the visible ones have shifted. Heavy rains over the Canada Day long weekend pushed water levels back up in Shuswap Lake, and that latest pulse of water is still working its way through the Thompson system. “Now, it’s just a matter of letting what’s in there get flushed through,” Learned said. While watercraft can return to parts of the river, Learned cautioned boaters to take care over the weekend. Large amounts of debris remain in the water and have built up around pilings of city bridges. Learned said RCMP don’t
plan to run patrols on the closed section of the river — one of the city’s most popular boating areas — but said those who do head into the closed waters illegally can face fines, as well as insurance difficulties should they damage their boats or run into trouble while in the area. The city is starting to unseal catch basins closed off to prevent backflow from the river. Gabion baskets installed on Shubert Drive and in Riverside Park will come down some time in the next two weeks. Starting July 9, the city is offering sandbag pickup services. Residents can place sandbags on the curb the next business day after their usual garbage collection, by 7 a.m. for pickup.
Police investigating home invasion Kamloops Mounties are looking for a pair of suspects after an armed home invasion early Wednesday morning (July 4). Just after midnight, police say, two men entered an apartment at 352 Seymour St. and demanded drugs. They were armed with bearspray, a machete and a handgun. The bearspray was discharged, but the other weapons were not used. Kamloops RCMP Staff Sgt. Grant Learned said the four occupants are not co-operating with police. Anyone with
POLICE BEAT information can call Mounties at 250-8283000 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477.

Some rough seas could be lying ahead for BC Ferries
B
C FERRIES HAS BEGUN ITS SUMMER SCHEDULE, RAMPING UP SAILINGS FOR THE VACATION SEASON THAT IS CRUCIAL TO THE FLEET’S BOTTOM LINE. It’s been rough sailing for BC Ferries this year. The corporation released its financial results in June, reporting a net loss of $16.5 million, compared to net earnings of $3.8 million the previous year. Last year’s earnings were boosted by the sale of the former corporate headquarters for $9.3 million, preventing a loss there as well. In the fiscal year that ended March 31, vehicle traffic was down 3.5 per cent and walk-on passengers were down 2.8 per cent. As a result, BC Ferries is forecasting a “small loss” for this year as well. The spring “Coast Saver” sale has just ended. That’s a 37 per cent discount offered Fridays through Mondays, May 25 to June 25, on the major runs from the mainland to Victoria and Nanaimo. The discounts allowed a foot passenger to cross for $9.95 and a car and driver for $39.95. I asked BC Ferries CEO Mike Corrigan how the sale went. He didn’t have final figures yet, but he allowed the boost in traffic was “marginal.” It’s the second year the spring sale has been offered over weekends, when people are more likely to travel. But instead of generating additional trips, Corrigan said the main
TOM FLETCHER Our Man in
VICTORIA effect has been to shift traffic from midweek to weekends. One of the primary reasons for this spring’s poor performance is the lousy weather that kept people at home. Gasoline at $1.40 a litre is another big one. Hotels and other tourism services tell the same story. Here’s another problem: Student traffic on the ferries was down by a third this spring, because teachers cancelled field trips as part of their lengthy work-to-rule campaign. The simplistic political debate about ferry service starts and ends with rising fares, with occasional fits of temper over executive salaries and ignores the other factors. Just cut the fares and increase the taxpayer subsidy, says the NDP and its local echo chambers. Of course, taxpayers are already pitching in an extra $80 million this year, bringing the subsidy to the ferries close to $200 million. That’s how Transportation Minister Blair Lekstrom sweetened the pot as he unveiled new powers for BC Ferry commissioner Gord Macatee to set service levels, as well as regulate
fares. Macatee’s task now is to travel the coast and endure the demands of island dwellers who want the rest of us to subsidize their splendid isolation. The proposition for them will boil down to this: You can pay more or you can have fewer sailings and, where the boat is a third full, you will have fewer sailings. This consultation period is an opportunity to ask some hard questions. For instance, does Saltspring Island really need three ferry terminals? And why is there no passengeronly service? Macatee’s term as commissioner started with a detailed review last year that pointed to some other ways to save serious money. But, CEO Corrigan says there are no quick fixes. FortisBC has offered an $11-million incentive for conversion of marine vessels to natural gas, which would give the fleet significant relief from spiralling fuel costs. But, a ferry conversion would take six months or more and another vessel would be needed in the meantime. Another promising suggestion is overhauling the ferry-reservation service, making reservations free and charging extra for those who just show up. Corrigan says a computer reservation overhaul is underway, but it will take three years. Tom Fletcher is legislative reporter and columnist for Black Press and BCLocalnews.com. tfletcher@blackpress.ca
Recently, a 20-year-old man from Surrey received a month in jail for his part in the Stanley Cup riots, which took place just over a year ago. Many people are hoping this sets a precedent for future sentencing, and it should. A one-month term for taking part in a riot, in which millions of dollars in property damage was done, police were assaulted, 150 were injured and the global reputation of the Vancouver area was severely damaged, is light punishment. However, it is likely that many of those charged will not receive any punishment. Their cases may well be thrown out of court because of excessive delay, due to the severely plugged nature of the court system. If a case is delayed for 18 months or longer, through no fault of the defence, it is quite likely it will not come to trial. This is unacceptable. While it says volumes about the state of the court system, something that few people pay attention to unless they are directly involved, it sends a bad message to the rioters. It tells them they should do all they can to delay the process until they are charged. And, they should not plead guilty. As a result, they may see their case dropped. The provincial government should set up a temporary court which can solely deal with riot cases. Everyone who is charged in connection with the riot should face trial, and do time if found guilty. If such a temporary court proves to work well, it could be used in other situations — such as to relieve system congestion in specific areas. If rioters are able to get off without any consequences because of a backlog of cases, the criminaljustice system needs some creative fixing. The province can do something about this — now. Authority must trump lawlessness. – Black Press

Let higher power decide the end Editor: I have been reading the various letters on the recent ruling that struck down Canada’s ban on doctor-assisted suicide. First of all, I do not believe a judge should be changing laws made by Parliament. It is not a simple black-and-white decision. There are many complications. Doctors are to do no harm; they train to save lives, not end them. However, with this law they would now be a party in assisting someone to die — and who pays the doctor’s salary? We do, so we all become a party to it. Patients become vulnerable to being subtly influenced or pressured to take this step for a variety of reasons, including inheritance.
Most insurance plans do not cover suicide, so any assisted suicide should be excluded, meaning life-insurance plans etc. are null and void — family members wanting “their share” may not be happy with that. With all advances made in medical care and procedures, a patient can effectively have their pain managed very well. I can attest to that from personal experience with family members in their endof-life issues. We also now have a valuable and effective hospice facility to help. Further, it was interesting to read a Canadian Press release regarding this subject. Gloria Taylor, who was responsible for bringing the issue to the foreground
again, said: “When it’s time, it’s God’s will or mine, and I’ll leave it at that.” It would seem to me that Taylor is speaking with forked tongue. She is saying when her time comes it will be God’s will not hers. If this is truly her belief and she accepts that, as it seems she does, then why is she pushing for a law to allow assisted suicide. She sounds like a hypocrite to me. Perhaps she would be better to find some kind of peaceful acceptance of her condition, let her medical team do their work at managing her pain and trust in a higher power who will know when it’s time.

White Buffalo hosted the event alone and saw more than 400 in attendances yet received the same minimal or minimized coverage of this community event. This year was the first year in which all four aboriginal agencies collaborated together to host National Aboriginal Day together. That was not mentioned in the article. There were more than 159 children from the school district who attended, including as far away as Clearwater. Our agencies worked hard to host this event, which saw 579 people take part. This event was only made possible by the many of the North Shore businesses that sponsored it. The level of their contribution is noteworthy. Please keep in mind that, when these children and families leave on-reserve living, they enter into the urban setting in which the four agencies I am
speaking about provide support, serve and rally around the children and families to ensure they continue to prosper and grow. The urban aboriginal population is continuing to grow and the need for urban aboriginal services will continue to be there for aboriginal children and families, as well as open to serve all people in the city of Kamloops. Today is a good day to share the celebration, the acknowledgements and hard work of our urban aboriginalservice providers: The Aboriginal Friendship Centre, White Buffalo Aboriginal and Metis Health Society, the Metis Commission for Children and Families of B.C. and Lii Michif Optimisawak Children and Family Services.

KTW ignored agencies at event Editor: I am Jeanie Cardinal, associate executive director with White Buffalo Aboriginal and Metis Health Society in Kamloops. In reviewing our advertisement our four urban aboriginal agencies purchased in your paper, it stated four agencies co-hosted the National Aboriginal Day Celebrations on June 21 at McDonald Park. On June 26, an article in KTW identified one agency out of the four at the event. There were three other agencies involved in the planning, hosting and facilitating of the event with staff who dedicated many hours to this event, along with community volunteers. It is with great disappointment the three other agencies, who worked so hard and tirelessly at pre-planning for months, setting up the event and making it happen, did not get recognized.

If you like to eat, then like the bees Editor: Here is an educational lesson for the members of city council and Tom Nevin’s neighbour — the reason you have fruit and vegetables to eat is because bees have pollinated the trees and plants when they were in bloom. We desperately need bees, lots of bees, if we want to eat. No bees equals no food. I’m shocked to see you folks don’t know this simple fact of life. So, leave Tom Nevin and his bees alone. In fact, plant yourself some fruit trees and a vegetable garden and invite Tom’s bees over. You’ll have a yard full of food like you’ve never tasted before.’And, maybe Tom will share some of his delicious honey with you, too. Sandi Mikuse Kamloops

proper lawn care Have a lawn you can feel good about. Here are three lawn care tips that will save time, money and water:
1. Mow High Leaving grass 5 – 7.5 cm (2-3”) tall, shades the roots and helps prevent evaporation. Grass grows deeper and stronger roots that can overpower weeds. Avoid cutting off more than 1/3 of the grass height.

Strike targets liquor warehouses By Tom Fletcher BLACK PRESS
tfletcher@blackpress.ca
The B.C. Government and Service Employees Union (BCGEU) launched strike action Tuesday, July 3, with a one-day walkout at liquor distribution warehouses in Vancouver, Victoria and Kamloops. BCGEU chief negotiator David Vipond said the strike action is to protest the B.C. government’s plan to sell off the three warehouses, as well as back the union’s demands. The union rejected an offer of a two per cent wage increase this year and another 1.5 per cent next year
and is seeking about six per cent over two years after three years without a raise. Finance Minister Kevin Falcon responded to the union’s strike vote by suggesting the wage offer could be withdrawn. The government describes its current negotiating mandate as “co-operative gains,” where pay increases must be financed by cost reductions in work arrangement. Vipond said the BCGEU’s proposal to raise revenue by opening more government liquor stores on Sundays was rejected. When the plan to sell liquor-distribution operations was revealed in February’s
budget, the union was told its jobs would be protected in the transition to a private operator if the Sunday opening proposal was withdrawn, he said. The BCGEU also represents deputy sheriffs, provincial jail staff, child-protection social workers, forestry and forestfirefighting staff. The union has not indicated what the next strike action may be, but has vowed not to interfere with any public-safety or emergency-service duties. Another union proposal was to expand the duties of deputy sheriffs from court security to include traffic enforcement. That was also rejected with no
ONE GIANT LEAP... IN SATELLITE BROADBAND TECHNOLOGY
explanation, Vipond said. “We can put three deputy sheriffs on the street for the price of two RCMP [officers],” he said. “They tried it in Alberta, and it was so successful they doubled the crew doing it in just a few months.”
2. Grasscycle Leave grass clippings on the lawn when mowing. Eliminate bagging and raking and reduce watering and fertilizing. 3. Water Properly Water deeply, but infrequently. This means watering 1 - 2 days per week, but when you do, give your grass about 2.5 cm (1") of water. As with mowing high, this also produces deeper stronger roots and helps the grass withstand dry periods. Other practices that will encourage a healthy lawn: Dethatching – Aerating – Topdressing – Overseeding - Fertilizing Try corn gluten meal to manage weeds. It is an organic fertilizer that prevents the germination of seeds, however, it does not control existing weeds.

Clark: Forget the HST By Andrea Klassen STAFF REPORTER andrea@kamloopsthisweek.com
Stopping in Kamloops on Friday, June 29, B.C. Premier Christy Clark made her pitch to Interior voters: Forget the HST, let’s talk about the economy. “Over the next year, what we need to do is really talk about what’s going on in the economy,” Clark told reporters. “We are having incredible economic success despite a really difficult economic climate around the world. We are the second-best job creator after Alberta. That hasn't happened by accident.” With the PST set to return to the province a month before the May 2013 election, Clark said she wants to turn the conversation away from the government’s unpopular handling of the tax. “Come next May, people are going to look around and say, ‘Do they want to gamble all of this economic growth away, do they want to put it at risk?’” she said. “Or, do they want to carry on and make sure we are pursuing the policies that mean people are able to work.” However, she insisted losing one of HST's past boosters — South Thompson MLA Kevin Krueger, who has announced he won’t be running for reelection — isn’t a bonus for her campaign. “Kevin has given a lot to this province. If Kevin had made the decision to run again I would absolutely have supported that,” she said. Clark called Krueger one of the province’s hardest-working MLAs and said replacing him will be a difficult task.
However, she pointed to Todd Stone, CEO of iCompass Technologies Inc., as the kind of candidate the B.C. Liberal party would be “proud” to see seek the party’s nomination. Stone, who hosted the premier for lunch during her Friday stop, was raised as a potential successor to Krueger’s spot on the ballot within hours of the MLA’s decision to retire from politics. “Todd, I’ll tell you, he's a great candidate,” Clark said. “He’s someone who has brought lots of jobs to the city of Kamloops. He has innovated in the hightech field, which is an area I think a lot of us would like our kids to work in, and he’s a great family man.” But, she said, she’s not endorsing any candidate at this stage, and will wait to see who else comes out in the nomination process.

Canada Day reveler gets time served By Tim Petruk STAFF REPORTER
tim@kamloopsthisweek.com
He got a little too carried away with his long-weekend revelry and a little too frisky with the officer who came to take him away — but a Kamloops man was able to escape with time served after spending a few nights behind bars. Reegan Winofsky pleaded guilty to one breach charge on Tuesday, July 3, in Kamloops provincial court. He was arrested at about 3:30 a.m. on Canada Day after partying with friends. Court heard Mounties came
across the 19-year-old while responding to a reported assault at an apartment building in the 500-block of Battle Street — across the street from the Kamloops RCMP detachment. Crown prosecutor Iain Currie said Winofsky was spotted sitting on the grass outside the building with his head in his hands. An officer asked him if he’d been involved in a fight. “He was slurring his words and he said, ‘I don’t know what fighting is’,” Currie said. When the constable told Winofsky he was under arrest, he accused her of “grabbing his ass” and then invited her to perform oral sex on him.
Winofsky was on an 18-month probation term after completing 30 days’ house arrest in April. That sentence was imposed after he was convicted on a string of charges including uttering threats and criminal harassment. In court, Winofsky said he’s changed his ways and slipped up by hanging out with old friends over the long weekend. “I’m very sorry for my actions,” he said. “I’m trying to be a better person.” Winofsky was sentenced to time served, working out to a three-day jail sentence. He remains bound by his previous probation order.
Bail breached, judge unimpressed By Tim Petruk STAFF REPORTER
tim@kamloopsthisweek.com
A Kamloops man accused of sex offences who violated his bail conditions by partying at Riverside Park on Canada Day is once again out on the streets. Raven Bebamikawe pleaded guilty to a single breach charge in Kamloops provincial court on Tuesday, July 3. He’s been free on bail since December, facing sexual interference charges stemming from an alleged incident involving a child. At about 9 p.m. on Canada Day, a Kamloops Mountie patrolling the festivities in Riverside Park noticed the 23-yearold holding a mickey of liquor under a table. The officer approached, confiscated the bottle and dumped its contents — not before noticing signs of impairment in Bebamikawe. “The officer thought he was not as fluid as a sober person might be,” said Crown prosecutor Iain Currie. “This is a serious thing — a person in his shoes, facing a sexual interference charge, breaching his bail in a park where there’s tons and tons of young people.” Bebamikawe —
who has no previous criminal record — was held in jail after his arrest and did not appear in court until Tuesday because of the holiday Monday. Defence counsel
Jay Michi said his client got “carried away with the fanfare and the spirit of the times” at Riverside Park. “These last two days have been a rather cold bath for Mr.
Shawn Stylist

Bebamikawe,” he said. Kamloops provincial court Judge Stella Frame sentenced Bebamikawe to time served — and warned him about the dangers of breaching his bail.

GRACE MURIEL JONES (Latremouille) It is with deep sorrow that we announce the passing of our mother, grandmother, great grandmother and aunt. Mom passed away June 21, 2012 at Ponderosa Lodge at the age of 96. Mom was born and raised in Little Fort (Mt. Ole) and moved to Kamloops after marrying Jack where they raised their daughters. They had years of fun at their home on the river at Dallas, boating and water skiing with family and friends. She was an avid bowler, crib player, wearer of crazy earrings and the best bread maker. Mom moved to Berwick in 2008 after Dad passed away in 1996. She loved living there and the staff was wonderful. Always kind and loving especially Ben Graham who is truly a member of our family. Her final days were spent at Ponderosa. Thank you for your kind care and thoughtfulness. Mom is survived by her daughters: Iris (Sonny) Faulkner and Lani Laviolette, grandchildren Tracey (Ed) Everett, Jayson Faulkner, Marcy (Gord) Kobylanski and great grandchildren Kirby and Luke Everett and Carter Faulkner; step children Devlin and Jorgen Hookham. Also left to mourn her passing is Emillio Qualtieri. Millie and mom had many happy times and he is a much loved member of our family.

She will be thought of as the source of emotional support for both family and friends as she was a living muse of encouragement. Brenda had a special gift with children, and they all adored her. She will be remembered for in-depth conversations on a variety of topics with anyone willing to debate.
A Memorial Tea will be held at Sagewood Community Centre at Sun Rivers from 2:00 to 4:00 p.m. on Saturday, July 14, 2012.

FRANK ANTHONY KOVAR On Saturday, June 30, 2012, Frank passed away at the Ridgeview Lodge. He was born in Moravia, Czech Republic on November 7, 1919. He is survived by his wife Elfrieda, his son Glen (Grace), his two grandchildren Xander and Isaac, his brother Jaroslava and other relatives in the Czech Republic. Frank was a dedicated employee for the Bata Shoe Company and opened several stores throughout Canada. The last shoe store was in North Kamloops in 1959, where he worked as a manager, but was not willing to relocate and after 30 years he started in the same position in Gallenkamp. When that store closed after six years he was helping out selling shoes in Corea McDonald and the Big Boot Inn, until he had to give up what he loved doing at the age of 71 due to health problems. Thank you to the caring staff at the Ridgeview Lodge, it was very much appreciated. No formal service by his request, cremation entrusted to Schoening Funeral Service.

“Music is the speech of Angels”
Her Journey’s Just Begun Don’t think of her as gone away, Her journey’s just begun. Life holds so many facets, This earth is only one. Just think of her as resting, From the sorrows and the tears, In a place of warmth and comfort, Where there are no days and years. Think how she must be wishing, That we could know today, How nothing but our sadness, Can really pass away. And think of her as living, In the hearts of those she touched, For nothing loved is ever lost; And she was loved so much. E. Brenneman

LOVE By Marty Hastings STAFF REPORTER
sports@kamloopsthisweek.com
T
HEY’RE NOT ALL FROM KAMLOOPS, BUT THEY might as well be when the Summer Olympic Games get underway in London next month. Of the five Kamloops-based athletes — shot putters Dylan Armstrong and Justin Rodhe, hammer throwers Sultana Frizell and Kibwe Johnson and mountain biker Catharine Pendrel — heading to the Games, only Armstrong grew up in the River City. But, all of them were given the same warm sendoff by the Kamloops public and local dignitaries at the Lift Off to London on Monday, July 2, at the Tournament Capital Centre. “When I first arrived here, I didn’t know what it was going to be like,” said Frizell, a Perth, Ont., product who moved to Kamloops in the fall of 2007. “I didn’t know if I’d like it or not . . . everyone’s welcomed me with open arms. “Now, I’m a Kamloopsian.” Frizell came to train with National Throws Centre coach Anatoliy Bondarchuk, as did
Johnson and Rodhe, both Americans by birth. “B.C. and Kamloops, especially, are very supportive of their athletes and you really feel that,” said Johnson, whose wife has family in the Tournament Capital. “It’s probably more of a community feeling than any place I’ve ever lived.” Johnson, who moved to the River City in 2008, will compete in Stars and Stripes in London, but Rodhe, born in Ohio, became a Canadian citizen last November. He was cleared in May by the International Association of Athletics Federations to compete for the Great White North at the Olympics. The hulking shot putter was not in the least bit surprised at the show of support on Monday. “This feels the same as the last four years,” Rodhe said. “Ever since I moved here, people have really taken me in.” “It’s nice to be able to put the flag on and go to the Olympics with Canada.” Pendrel moved to Kamloops in 2006. She was quickly adopted by the city — that’s what happens when you’re a worldchampion mountain
The sun is expected to show itself just in time for the Provincial A Cup youth soccer championships, held from today (July 5) to Sunday, July 8, on McArthur Island. Girls’ and boys’ teams in under-13, U14, U15, U16 and U18 divisions will compete for provincial supremacy. Four teams in each division will face off in a round-robin format, with the top two advancing to finals. The gold-medal tilts are scheduled for 9:30 a.m., 11:30 a.m., 1:30 p.m. and 3:30 p.m. on Sunday. Teams from Kamloops at the tournament include, on the boys’ side, a U13 side coached by Ken Monroe, a U14 team coached by Mark MacKenzie, a U15 group coached by Paul Bregoliss, a U16 squad coached by Kyle Bowman and a U18 side coached by Brady Cameron. On the girls’ side, a U13 team coached by Beth Shouldice, a U14 team coached by Chris Hansen, an Art McDonald-coached U15 group and Dave Martin’s U18 squad. McArthur Island’s nine fields open Thursday, with eight games set for 10 a.m., eight more matches at noon and four tilts at 2 p.m. On Friday and Saturday, six games will be played at 9:30 a.m. and 11:30 a.m. and four games will get underway at 1:30 p.m. and 3:30 p.m.
Sunday fundraisers for Terwiel biker — and was happy to see similar support for all of the athletes at Lift Off. “Kamoops is such an incredible sporting community and to know that there’s that many people that care and are excited for you, it really helps carry your momenutm toward the event,” she said. Bruce Davidson is a Kamloops-based physician who will serve on Canada’s core medical team at the Olympics.
Dr. Davidson caught River City fever upon arrival. “I moved to Kamloops four years ago,” said Davidson, who provides urgent care in town and works with the Sage Sports Institute. “As soon as we came to Kamloops, we fell in love with it.” Kamloopsian Steve Seibel was named a basketball official for the Games.

The Westsyde secondary graduated thanked the city not only for supporting him, but also his fellow Olympians. “It’s an awesome feeling to have the backing of the community here, but that’s no surprise,” he said. “Without their support, we wouldn’t be in this position today.”

Playoffs underway after tumultuous TOJLL season By Marty Hastings STAFF REPORTER
sports@kamloopsthisweek.com
Bad blood between Thompson Okanagan Junior Lacrosse League (TOJLL) teams likely won’t spill onto the floor in Round 1 of the playoffs. The Kamloops Venom and the South Okanagan Flames of Penticton met in Game 1 of a best-of-five semifinal series on Tuesday, July 3, at Memorial Arena in the River City. The Venom won 14-7. Kamloops was accused of forming a super-team this season when the Rattlers — the other junior B lacrosse squad in town — amalgamated with the Venom. “It was more a push from Vernon and Kelowna,” said Rob Smith, an assistant coach with the Venom. “It was really disappointing to see that Kelowna had jumped on
the bandwagon because they did exactly the same thing last year, amalgamating to one team, and no one said a word about it. “Right from the start of the season, [the Flames] were one of the two teams that weren’t involved in the politics.” The Armstrong Shamrocks, Smith said, were the other team that kept relatively quiet about the merger. Armstrong and Vernon are matched up in the other TOJLL semifinal. Kelowna finished fifth and missed the playoffs. The B.C. Lacrosse Association cleared the Venom of wrongdoing in May, but the drama did not end there. “It’s been a lot of turmoil with all the politics behind the scenes and everybody’s comments about the superteam,” Smith said, noting games early in the season were cancelled
in protest. “Kelowna won the league last year. They won the playoffs and they finished second in provincials, and yet no one said one iota about them winning. “We just wanted the same respect out of everybody and it went south in a hurry.” Competing against teams like the 2012 Venom is nothing new for Flames’ head coach Troy Ramsay. “We’re a small club and I know there’s been issues of teams combining in Kelowna before, and also Kamloops, in the past,” Ramsay said. “For our purposes, I just want our kids to play against the best competition available and just leave it at that.” Game 2 of the Venom-Flames series will be played at Kelowna Memorial Arena on Friday, July 6, starting at 7:30 p.m. The floor at Penticton Memorial
Arena has been covered with ice and McLaren Arena in Penticton is also unavailable, meaning all of the Flames’ home games will be played in Kelowna. Game 3 is slated to get underway at 7:30 p.m. on Saturday, July 7, at Memorial in the Tournament Capital. Game 4, if necessary, will be played in Kelowna on July 9 and, if the series stretches to a fifth game, the decider will be played in Kamloops on July 10. Kamloops finished the regular season atop the standings at 14-1-1, while the Flames snuck into the post-season with a 4-2-10 mark. “Despite them barely getting into the playoffs, it’s been a real good battle,” Smith said. If Kamloops and Vernon can escape the semifinals, the TOJLL championship series will likely be a heated affair.

Dedication pays off for judo club By Marty Hastings STAFF REPORTER
sports@kamloopsthisweek.com
A long season of hard work is paying off this week for Aberdeen Judo Club’s junior members — and their parents. Five of the club’s judoka are in Toronto for the Canadian Judo Championships, which run from Thursday, July 5, to Sunday, July 8. Attending the event are Andrew Iadarola, an 18-year-old black belt, Drew Ramsay, a 14-year-old green belt, Geoffrey Hanks, a 12-year-old green belt, Megan Hanks, a 14-year-old green belt, and Liam moss, a 13-year-old green belt.
“At the start of the junior season, we had a meeting with all the parents and said, ‘OK, what do you want to achieve, or what does your child want to achieve?’” club Sensei John Huntley said. “We laid out a roadmap.” The juniors have been putting extra work in outside the hours allotted for practice time at the club. Some of them started distance training, others began wrestling under the tutelage of local grappling guru Brian Dick and all of them did individual cardio workouts. Liam Moss is
also well-versed in Brazilian jiu-jitsu. “We’ve sent two or three people to nationals in the past, all of them adults,” Huntley said. “This is the first time we’ve actually sent a junior group.” “We’ve had an upward swell of youth that in the past have chosen sports like soccer and hockey.” Huntley said it’s often tough to convince parents judo is the sport for their children. “If you’re in hockey or soccer, you
know, whether you’re on the winning side or losing side, that you’re at the game for at least an hour,” he said. “In judo, it could be one throw and — bang — you’re out. “To try to explain to a parent, ‘Well, it only cost you $300 to drive to Vancouver to stay over night and your son or daughter had two 10-second matches.” It now seems like money well spent for the five families, all of whom are flying to Toronto for nationals.
Judo BC kicked in $500 for each athlete and AJC added $150 a pop to further ease the financial burden. Each of the five judoka attending nationals qualified for Team B.C. by performing well in selection tournaments and at training camps. “It takes X amount of months or years to develop competitors for the national level,” Huntley said. “These kids aren’t just doing two judo classes a week. They’re doing a lot of work on their own.”

Rattlers and Shamrocks too close to call By Marty Hastings STAFF REPORTER
sports@kamloopsthisweek.com
If Vegas oddsmakers were to set a line for the Kamloops Rattlers-Armstrong Shamrocks series, it might just be a pick ‘em. The Thompson Okanagan Senior Lacrosse League teams are facing off in Round 1 of the playoffs.
Game 1 was played on Wednesday, July 4, in Armstrong, with Game 2 set for 8 p.m. at Memorial Arena in Kamloops on Friday, July 6. Log on to kamloopsthisweek.com for the Game 1 result. The Venom and Shamrocks split the regular-season series 2-2, with each squad record-
ing one win at the other’s barn and one at home. All of the games but one — a 9-3 win for the Rattlers — were decided by two goals or less. Armstrong downed Kamloops 10-9 in the last game of the season. The victory vaulted the Shamrocks into second place, leaving the Rattlers in third.
ATTENTION:
The Kelowna Raiders, who finished in first place, and the fourth-seed Vernon Tigers are doing battle in the other semifinal. Kelowna won the title last season, taking care of Armstrong in the final. The Rattlers wound up fourth in 2011, losing a semifinal series to the eventual champions.
Lipon, Ranford of Blazers get NHL training camp calls By Marty Hastings STAFF REPORTER
sports@kamloopsthisweek.com
At least two more Kamloops Blazers will get a taste of the show in September. Forward JC Lipon will attend NHL training camp with the Colorado Avalanche, and Brendan Ranford has been invited to the Montreal Canadiens’ camp. “It feels pretty good,” Lipon said. “I’ve always wanted to go to an NHL camp, but there’s lots more work to do.” Ranford — who was drafted in 2010 by the Philadelphia Flyers, but not signed — has not yet accepted the Canadiens’ offer. “That’s where I’m thinking of going, but we’ll see,” he said on Wednesday, July 4. Ranford, should he accept, will join
fellow Blazer Tim Bozon at camp in Montreal. Bozon was selected by the Habs last month in the third round of the NHL Entry Draft in Pittsburgh. Lipon and Blazer linemate Colin Smith will get a chance to explore Colorado together in September, Smith was drafted last month by the Avs in the seventh round. “He wasn’t the reason why I chose to go to Colorado, but it will obviously be fun,” Lipon said. “When he’s there we can tour around a little bit.” Ranford is spending the summer in Edmonton, where he works two jobs — building fences and decks and teaching hockey to children.

A
NYONE WHO HAS EVER WAITED TO BE TAKEN INTO AN OPERATING ROOM AT ROYAL INLAND HOSPITAL KNOWS HOW BORING THE WAIT CAN BE. There’s not much to do beyond wonder when the nurses will come for you — and stare at the ceiling. After this week, though, the wait will be a bit brighter, thanks to some creativity by students at Beattie
School of the Arts secondary. The students were given some of the large white tiles weeks ago and given free reign to create whatever mural they felt inspired to paint. Gail Kopp, clinical educator at RIH, said most patients wait up to 20 minutes to be taken in for surgery — and the project was created to just add a bit of diversion for them. The idea came from a leadership session where Kopp and other surgical staff heard about a similar project at an Ottawa hospital. From then, it was a matter of getting it done, Kopp said.
Six tiles were removed and replaced. The six went to the school on Ninth Avenue, where art students took on the design and painting task. Five of the tiles were completed by the end of the school year and have been installed at the hospital. One more has yet to be completed. For Guy Bilodeau, seeing even the uninstalled work was uplifting. While waiting with his wife, Joyce, Guy said the students’ works were awesome, something that patients like him will appreciate. The art resonated with him for
another reason, since his children attended Beattie in the 1970s. Lesley McLeod, operating-room manager at RIH, said the works will help brighten the day for people dealing with illnesses — and also for the staff working on the floor. Maintenance staff at the hospital, who also helped with accessing and installing the tiles, are making a plaque to install in the waiting area recognizing the work the students did on the project. And, for Kopp, it may not be the end of the work — there’s also the day-surgery area and plenty of other boring white tiles in the hospital.

Plover moves festival over By Andrea Klassen STAFF REPORTER andrea@kamloopsthisweek.com
If not for a small, sandcoloured shore bird, Kelowna’s Waterfront Park would be a bit quieter this July. Last fall, Scott Emslie’s team at Wet Ape Productions had nearly sealed a deal to bring their Centre of Gravity festival — a party focused on electronica and hip-hop, but also skateboarding and beach volleyball — to Wasaga Beach, Ont. “City council was all ready to sign the papers,� Emslie remembers. But, just as the agreement was about to be clinched, the Ontario government stepped in, concerned the festival would jeopardize the endangered Piping Plovers nesting in the beach area. In need of a new idea, the group of indie-music lovers looked to their iPods to create a new summer music festival for their home base. The result was Keloha, a
tropical-themed festival that will hit Kelowna from Friday, July 6 to Sunday, July 8. The inaugural lineup is a mix of independent sounds, from the punk soul of California’s Cold War Kids to folk crooning from B.C.’s Dan Mangan. While bands from England and the U.S. are in the mix, Emslie promises plenty of homegrown talent as well, with Western Canadian acts dominating festival stages during the daytime. In all cases, Emslie says his team selected the bands that have blown them away at previous shows. “Either they’re bands I’ve seen at Sasquatch or other musical festivals or I’ve researched at what they’re like live,� he says. Getting the lineup he wanted wasn’t always easy, however. With more and more festivals cropping up across the country, Emslie says booking bands was a challenge. He’s hoping Keloha’s setting — smaller and more

intimate than mega-festivals across the border such as Sasquatch and Coachella — and its oasis-like atmosphere will set it apart from other outdoor events just starting up — and give Keloha the staying power needed to become an annual event. Between guitar riffs, the festival offers tiki kitsch — palm trees, hula girls, leis — and interactive art exhibitions, including a graffiti installation and a cutout board for taking photos. For art buyers, there’s an artisan boardwalk, while music lovers with kids can send them to the Instrument Petting Zoo to work on their guitar chops. “I think festivals aren’t just about the lineup any more,� Emslie says. “You can’t just book a bunch of bands and have them play outdoors.� For a full lineup and schedule and to purchase tickets, visit keloha.com.

Liquidating leads to TV
I have a pet, and we need a home...
Kamloops man stars in new OLN show By Michael Potestio STAFF REPORTER
reporter@kamloopsthisweek.com
Anyone watching the Outdoor Life Network today (July 5) might just see a familiar face. Jeff Schwarz calls Kamloops home — and he is the star of OLN’s new series, The Liquidator. The show premieres at 9 p.m. The docu-series follows Schwarz, owner of Direct Liquidation. ca — located in Burnaby — and his liquidation business. “I’ll buy anything from farm equipment right down to the kitchen sink kind of thing,” said Schwarz. He said unlike what people might see in similar shows from the U.S., it’s important to remember it’s not about what something is worth, but rather
what you can get for it. “You buy a bike for example, for $200 that’s worth $800, well is it worth $800 or is it worth whatever you can get for it?,” said Schwarz. He said the show is 100 per cent real and aims to give a true look at all the ins and outs of his business. Not all the deals turn out to be winners. “It’s easy, but not all that easy,” said Schwarz. Schwarz said he sells to PennyPinchers in Kamloops as well and other places like it across B.C., Alberta and Saskatchewan. Schwarz went to high school at Valleyview secondary and then spent grades 11 and 12 at Norkam secondary, studying forestry. He left Kamloops
after graduating in 1986 to attend BCIT for forestry. Schwarz said he didn’t have the money for the program and started working construction instead. Eventually, some opportunities arose for him through buying and selling at garage sales and flea markets in Vancouver. He would even come to flea markets in Kamloops — in particular ones in the old K-Mart parking lot in Valleyview. From there, he was hooked and what started out as flea markets and garage sales soon blossomed into the liquidation business he runs today. Schwarz said even when he was in school, teachers told him he should get into business and, sure enough — though he
said it didn’t dawn on him at the time — Schwarz found his calling. As far as advice for others, Schwarz said it’s key to surround yourself with a good network of friends who know the business and not to expect to strike it rich on every item. “They say that if a good buyer hits six out of 10 times, he’s doing good,” Schwarz said, “so, I like to go 10 for 10 but [it] doesn’t always work that way.” The key, he said, is to keep going and not get discouraged.
The BC SPCA believes that if landlords were aware of the significant benefits of pet-friendly housing, they would be more inclined to offer it. One of the biggest direct advantages of offering pet-friendly housing is increased rental income, since people with pets will pay 20 to 30% more for housing. People with pets also stay longer – an average of 46 months, compared to 18 months for people without pets – saving landlords from having to spend time advertising for, finding and screening new reliable tenants.

TRAVEL
Weaving through history at Colossal Cave Park By Jane Cassie SPECIAL TO KTW travelwriterstales.com
T
HE FIT SPELUNKERS SUIT UP WITH HARD HATS AND HEADLAMPS. They’re told to remove cumbersome backpacks that may hamper their maneuverability through claustrophobically confined spaces. “Does anyone feel uncomfortable crawling through dark narrow tunnels?” the guide inquires. Although sticking like glue to the neighboring group of scaredycats, my heart does a flip-flop for those heading off in this Wild Cat Cave Tour. The Colossal Cave Mountain Park situated in the Tucson valley is just an hour’s drive from our refined refuge, the Arizona Inn and, although they both share historical happenings, this jaunt to ‘down under’ also adds an element of excitement. While the agile explorers lunge into unlit passageways, our group chooses the road more travelled, where paving stones weave through illuminated limestone tunnels. Our unexpected entrance generates the flutter from at least two sets of wings and, before we can focus, they’re gone from our sight. “You’re lucky,” Mickey, our guide, declares with enthusiasm. “Not everyone is privy to bat sightings.” In spite of our good fortune, I realize my body chill has nothing to do with a drop in temperature, as this subterraneous grotto remains at a constant 70 F yearround. As well as home to almost half the bat species in Arizona, we discover the cavernous cocoon is also a regular hangout for foxes, badgers and legends of the past. “In the 1800s, these craggy interiors were a favourite hideaway for train robbers and bandits,” Mickey says.
“And, over 1,000 years ago, they were used by the Hohokam Indians for shelter.” We check out the well-preserved artifacts that bore ritual significance to the Hohokam tribe: Prayer sticks, known as Pahos, smallscale bows and reed cigarettes that once produced symbolic smoke formations. We come to a glossy limestone protrusion that goes by the name of Old Baldy and are informed to rub it for good luck. “It’s a protective measure,” Mickey jests. “After all, you wouldn’t want to fall into the bottomless pit or lose any body parts!” It’s obvious most visitors have abided by this ritualistic task, as the head of the prominence is smoother than a crystal ball. As we plod through the labyrinth of tunnels that spans six stories, our imaginations are stimulated by geological formations: A kingdom of elves, a ruling king, a
rock and roll room featuring Kermit the frog. Icicle-shaped stalagmites suspend from the cathedral room’s heavenbound ceiling and, like cave bells, create acoustics that are supposedly three times more effective than most recording studios. If all were to come to life, it would be volume overload. Instead, the rocky formations, glazed over by crystals and iron oxide deposits, emit a silence that’s golden. We discover most caverns are formed by rainwater, but not so with Colossal Cave. Hot sulfur-laden brine has percolated from below and hollowed out the passageways of this underground wonderland. Instead of burrowing deep, the tunnels recede into the mountain and are always a comfortable temperature. The cave stopped being formed about 4,000 years ago and, for the past 70, has been as
dry as a bone. The enchantment continues and, like mice following the pied piper, we are led through more of the maze. “The cave has 38 fractures and one major fault line,” Mickey imparts, “which we are standing on now.” We can clearly see the crevice that severs the rugged foundation. Feeling a sense of uncertainty, we plod on. Shimmering with splendour is the crystal forest and silent waterfall, where a dazzling display of flowstone has been frozen in time. We pass by the cave’s largest stalactite that weighs two and a half tons and appropriately goes by the name of Fang. We shimmy around Bone Crusher, a stalagmite that attempts to block our path, and we veer into the bottomless pit without letting our curiosity get the best of us. The Living Room is 70 feet below the park-
ing lot and the lowest point in Colossal Cave. According to legend, it’s also the location where the bandits set up camp when taking refuge. “It may be a dream home for fugitives, Fodor and even Disney’s seven dwarfs,” my husband mocks, “but it’s sure not the Arizona Inn!”

FAITH
Jesus can discriminate when dealing with people “Now, when He was in Jerusalem at the Passover, in the feast day, many believed in His name, when they saw the miracles which He did. But Jesus did not commit Himself unto them, because He knew all men, and needed not that any should testify of man; for He knew what was in man.� John 2:23-25
T
HE ABOVE WORDS FORM PART of the record of a set of circumstances analogous to those in which we find ourselves at times — a large company gathered round about Christ, expressing their attitude to Him and revealing His responsive attitude to them. It is a singular fact that Christ has no faith
NARAYAN MITRA You Gotta Have FAITH in some men’s faith. It is a startling consideration that many believe in Him, while He has no belief in them. It is a strange and solemn truth in its implicate of warning to every one of us, that there is a faith to which He makes no response, a professed belief in the presence of which the Lord is strangely and significantly silent. The thing to be
guarded against, not only in the present, but right along the whole of our pilgrim pathway, is that kind of socalled faith to which Jesus only responds by silence How discriminating Christ is and how characteristic this is of His entire dealings with men. He draws men, and then divides them. He wins men to a hearing of His message, and then winnows them. Jesus, wherever He is lifted up, draws all men to Him. Then, each man as he comes finds himself at a judgment-seat. No person can long be insincere in the presence of Christ. Right through His life, this quality of discrimination characterised Jesus.
For instance:“Not everyone that says to me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the Kingdom of heaven, but he that does the will of my Father in heaven.� Then again: “They brought young children to Him and the disciples would drive them back.� But, Jesus rebuked not those who brought them, but those who would exclude them. There is no realm of our being in which this discriminating power of Christ is so entirely important, not only for our notice, but for our obedience and, for the guidance of our moral and spiritual actions, as just here in the realm of faith. John, in his gospel account above, also talks about an “untrusted faith� — “but He did not com-
mit Himself to them.� Why? It has been true in every ae and it is true essentially in our own present age, that there
is in faith’s name a recrudescence of a curious seeking for signs. There are large numbers who will only
believe in Jesus today if their faith can be somehow buttressed by some visible sign. X See FAITH B9

FAITH
Faith needs an anchor X From B7
Many among us tempt Him, asking signs from heaven which, when they are granted, have little, if anything, to identify them with the simplicity that is in Christ. When we know of God’s own children being led aside into believing that physical signs could be used to support faith, it is enough to make angels weep. Anything which elevates subjective experience above scriptural expression could cause the very elect. Let us beware of anything which tends to remove us from the simplicity that is in Jesus. Let us move on from these considerations to that committal of Himself which John’s words record
as being withheld by Jesus. There is a dual committal of which the apostle Paul wrote to Timothy: “I know whom I have believed, and am persuaded that He is able to keep that which I have committed unto Him.” In the next breath he said: “Keep that which has been committed to you” — a reciprocal committal. “When I commit myself entirely in a simple faith to Christ, He commits Himself, and these words are too poor to describe the mystery of it all, Christ committing Himself to me.” Jesus commits Himself to us for the protection of His reputation in the world. We are charged with the responsibility of so living that our lives emphasize and set forth in brilliant

conspicuousness the characteristics of the Lord’s own perfect love, generosity, sympathy and understanding of men. Well does the apostle speak of it as “the high calling of God in Christ Jesus.” If He commits Himself to us, He commits Himself not only to is commencement, but to its continuance and completion. Sign-supported faith is not adequate to the life that is involved in so protecting His name, interpreting His Word and completing His work in the world. The faith which has not its “anchor within the veil,” the faith which clings not though it sees Him not, the faith supported by the merely subjective and external — such faith will not

be able to stand the shock of the world’s opposition and the devil’s malignity. The poor, broken, stained, and maimed life which has somehow come to realize itself and its Lord — to such as one will Christ commit Himself. And, what He does, it shall be for ever.

The best roasted chickpeas north of Texas
I
T WAS THE LAST DAY OF SCHOOL. Exams done. Report cards issued. A term’s worth of gum and sugary miscellanies chinked out of our desks, emptied, now of scribblers and broken pencil crayons, passed notes, constructionpaper art and balls of rubber cement. Our knapsacks were stuffed with things to take home, although most of us also required a Hefty garbage bag to help tote the overflow. Inside these bags were the physical remnants of all we’d learned and forgotten in the third grade. Memories of the friends we’d made and, in some cases, lost during the school year. In a fit of sentiment, we were suddenly determined to keep it all. To be honest, some of us had been looking forward to the last day of school since the previous September. Now, with another summer stretching out before us, we found ourselves reluctant to leave. Forgetful of math class’s Mad Minutes and wind sprints in the gym. Of diagramming sentences and being pelted with dodge balls. Today, all we remembered was making papier-mache pinatas in art class, field trips to the grocery store and police station and sledding down the schoolyard’s back slope in winter. But, the school year wasn’t quite over yet. To send us off, the
DARCIE HOSSACK Bon APPÉTIT school faculty had earlier announced a movie screening in the gym. We were told to tell our parents there’d be free popcorn and watered-down Orange Freshie (a worse-thanKool-Aid sugar drink available from the 1950s through the early 1980s). We could bring our own treats from home, as well, and my goodie bag included a bag of Old Dutch ketchup chips, which I did not intend to share, and certainly wouldn’t trade for anyone’s homespun health snacks. Those were the days. The days when a movie in the gym, sitting on the floor with necks craned into chiropractically unrecommended angles, was the height of fun. So, when it came time, the different grades filed into the gym and I sat with the other third-graders, watching as the school principal carried in two reel cases by their metal handles. Opening the first, and winding its film through the projector, he called for the lights to be lowered and the students to quiet down. From all corners of the gym, including the climbing apparatus
where the savvy sixth graders had perched, came the sound of munching. And, then, with a whir, the soundtrack came to life and a picture filled the screen. I remember, now, having told my mom about the planned-for movie day in the gym. And, I remember saying to her that I was a little nervous the picture, a horror film with Dolly Parton and Burt Reynolds, might scare me. “Well, I don’t think they’d pick something that would frighten the younger kids,” she said, sounding perfectly reasonable.
Still, I wasn’t quite convinced. And so, when The Best Little Whorehouse in Texas began to play, you might possibly understand my thirdgrader’s relief. Or my confusion. It wasn’t a scary movie, after all. But why, I wondered, was the town’s minister so upset about a chicken house? Was it really the sheriff’s job to interfere in matters of poultry? And where, by the same logic, were the chickens? Neither Burt nor Dolly seemed to have the answers. Today, my sister
called to say it’s almost the kids’ last day of school. The faculty has arranged a movie screening for them, and she’s thinking about roasting a batch of seasoned chickpeas to send with them. Personally, I’d go with the ketchup chips.

Chefs, farmers inspired by rain
Pamela Lee
Ruby Hrycenko
By Dale Bass STAFF REPORTER dale@kamloopsthisweek.com
The rain may have had homeowners along the Thompson River worried — but, for local ranchers and farmers, it’s been a boon. David Tombs, chef and owner of Terra Restaurant, said many crops, particularly leafy ones, are thriving from the recent rainfall. It’s extended the growing season for many fruits and vegetables, he said, which bodes well for the second annual Farmer2Chef event in August. Tombs is one of more than a dozen local chefs taking part in the festivities at Thistle Farm in Westsyde. It’s three hours of music, activities for the kids, displays and samples from local wineries, breweries and distillers — and bites of food.
Sponsored by the ThompsonShuswap Chef-Farmer Collaboratie, the event raises money to provide grants and no-interest loans to non-profits and farmers helping to support local-food sustainability. Last year’s event at the farm, owned by Dieter Dudy, sold out with 400 people attending. Ed Walker, who teachers in the culinary-arts department at Thompson Rivers University, said one of the goals of the event is to promote understanding of what is grown and raised in the Kamloops region. “Awareness is increasing,” Walker said, “but we’re not there yet.” As of last week, the festival will include: Accolades Restaurant at TRU, At Your Service Catering, Brownstone Restaurant, Caffe Arianna, Celista Estate
Winery, Conscientious Catering, Crannog Ales, Crush Saute and Grill, Edesia Catered Events, Harpers Trail Winery, Hoodoos at Sun Rivers, Moon Curser Vineyards, Mt. Boucherie Winery, Okanagan Spirits, Ora Restaurant, Recline Ridge Winery, Red Tree Roasting, Sanbiki Restaurant, Shuswap Chefs, South Thompson Guest Ranch, Table 24, Terra Restaurant and The Noble Pig Brewhouse and Restaurant. Participants can expect anything from lamb and beef to “every type of vegetable you can imagine,” Walker said. Each chef is partnering with a local producer to highlight a product, a news aspect to the event this year. Tombs, for example, is paired with a lamb farmer and he’s debating on cooking lamb sliders, kebabs or
maybe souvlaki. Also new is a chef’s demonstration and cooking stage, where anything can happen, Tombs said — and don’t be surprised if someone just drops some foods on the table and tells the demonstrator to come up with something magical. Entertainment will be provided by Blackberry Wood of Vancouver, an alternative country-roots band that is one part music and one part performance art, Walker said. Tickets for the fundraiser are $20 for those 12 and younger, $60 for everyone else. Ticket prices are subject to tax and service charges. Tickets are available at brownpapertickets. com/event/252351. They’re also available from participating restaurants, at the Saturday Kamloops Farmers’ Market and from Community
A messy fridge can impact diet — and more Would a messy fridge deter you from dating someone new, or maybe even be the cause to break off a relationship? In a recent survey conducted by Samsung Canada, when respondents were asked if they were starting to date someone new and they saw the person’s refrigerator was messy, the answers revealed that 57 per cent would be turned off and would say something about it — and eight per cent would even
consider breaking off the relationship. In addition, 43 per cent agreed if they can’t see something in the refrigerator, they won’t eat it, so a messy fridge can stop many people from eating better. Another 61 per cent said they forget about produce tucked away in a fridge crisper drawers because they can’t see it. According to Kelly Anne Erdman, the performance dietitian for Team Canada at the
2012 London Olympic Games, the way we visibly arrange food in our fridge can encourage us to eat better. “Taking a few moments to properly organize your fridge can make all the difference in a healthier lifestyle,” says Erdman. “Like dating, first
impressions can be important. We tend to eat what we see first when we open the fridge, so a fridge that isn’t organized for healthy eating can lead to poor food decisions.” newcanada.com

Headlines in mental health this week
K
AMLOOPS THIS WEEK CAN TAKE pride in bringing readers the absolute newest information about mental health and mental illness — and our readers know about latest advances days and sometimes weeks before other news organizations report on the story. Here are some things you will be hearing about in the next while – but you got it here first! • Large pharmaceutical company pleads guilty to fraud: On Monday, July 2, drug maker GlaxoSmithKline (GSK) agreed to pay $3 billion U.S. in fines and plead guilty to criminal charges related to marketing of its antidepressants Paxil and Wellbutrin. This is the largest health-care fraud settlement in U.S. history. The pharmaceutical based in Britain admitted to misbranding the antidepressants Paxil and Wellbutrin and marketing them for uses not approved by the Food and Drug Administration, including the treatment of children for depression and the treatment of ailments such as obesity, anxiety, addiction and ADHD. • Antipsychotic medication and pregnancy: This week, researchers found taking antipsychotic medications during pregnancy increased the mother’s risk of developing diabetes and giving birth to smaller infants. This was true even though the medication had no previous link to
metabolizing calories. In some ways, this is a positive step towards assisting women on antipsychotics to eat better and exercise more during their pregnancies. • Drug slows multiple sclerosis inflammation: Fingolimod (also called gilenya) has been found to rapidly and significantly reduce brain inflammation in people with MS — and this means the disease progresses much slower and the symptoms are less severe. • Teen sexting still on the rise: A recent study done in Texas — a conservative and religious state — found more than 25 per cent of teens engage in sending sexually explicit text messages, called sexting. New laws, regulations and educational approaches have not slowed down this dangerous trend and by far the most effective safeguard for teens is still parents who check their teens; cellphones . . . . sorry teens, privacy is important, but so is your mental and physical well-being! • Adult obesity can result from abuse as children: A study in Boston University found children who are abused have a much larger chance of being obese as adults. All the emotional and psychological reasons are not clear, but the link between mental distress and overeating is a pattern that has been talked about
B13
for decades. • Spanking linked to later mental illness: A study out of the University of Manitoba reported this week that spanking children leads to an increased risk of adult mental illness later in life — even when there are no other signs of maltreatment such as emotional abuse or neglect. The study was clear about differentiating between “spanking” and just hitting children — and the impact on kids’ later mental health is the same regardless of the intention of the parents. • And, finally, although only somewhat related to mental health, caffeine has been found to prevent one of the most common forms of skin cancer. Those of you who rely on their coffee to get the engine started in the morning will believe this is directly linked to mental health. The study linked caffeine to the cancer benefit that comes not only from coffee, but all sources of caffeine including soft drinks, chocolate and tea. If you have questions or comments about any of these tidbits of mental health news, write to us a Kamloops@ cmha.bc.ca because if it is important to you, chances are it is important to other readers too — and, besides, we always love to hear from you.

ANSWER TO LAST WEEK’S PUZZLE
WEEKLY HOROSCOPE ARIES - Mar 21/Apr 20 You can have all the inspiration in the world, Aries, but without solid financial backing, your enterprise will not find its wings. Spend your energy finding investors.
CAPRICORN - Dec 22/Jan 20 When money issues arise, the only way to remedy them is to stop spending. This could involve taking a hard look at your lifestyle and what you may not be able to afford.
TAURUS - Apr 21/May 21 You are torn between two choices, Taurus. Family matters are on one side and work responsibilities are on the other. It may take a few days to work out a decision.
AQUARIUS - Jan 21/Feb 18 Everyone expects you to dole out the advice, Aquarius, but this week you will be looking for your own. It could be because you have been tackling so many projects lately.
GEMINI - May 22/Jun 21 It’s difficult to contain all of your energy, Gemini, so instead you can choose to share some with others. Try tackling some other people’s projects until your energy wanes.
PISCES - Feb 19/Mar 20 There are few things that escape your attention, Pisces. However, this week you will be blindsided by certain news.
CANCER - Jun 22/Jul 22 Some people may view you as being selfish this week, Cancer, but you view your actions as putting yourself first for a change. Either way, it’s a decidedly “you-centered” few days.
FAMOUS BIRTHDAYS
LEO - Jul 23/Aug 23 While some people are revved up with energy, Leo, you will seem to be stuck in neutral this week. Don’t fret too much about it unless you have deadlines you need to meet. VIRGO - Aug 24/Sept 22 Virgo, these next few days you will want to do activities that put yourself first. Whether it’s a date or simply alone time, enjoy it and stop neglecting your needs.
JULY 1 Twyla Tharp, Choreographer (71) JULY 2 Bret Hart, Wrestler (55) JULY 3 Tom Cruise, Actor (50) JULY 4 Geraldo Rivera, Reporter (69)
LIBRA - Sept 23/Oct 23 Vacations tend to bring the relaxed side out in a person, and it can be hard assimilating back into your regular routine.You, however, have no problem getting back into a groove. SCORPIO - Oct 24/Nov 22 Turning a hobby into something that makes money is an admirable goal, but it will take a little work, Scorpio. Don’t give up too easily as it could take a few months to solidify. SAGITTARIUS - Nov 23/Dec 21 Sagittarius, you may be adept at finding an easy way around a difficult thing, but sometimes taking the harder road offers good life lessons along the way.

Memories & Milestones Congratulations Dennon Stein
On May 10, 2012, Aaron Matthew Kaliszewski & Lacey Jean Fontaine tied the knot barefoot and on the beach in beautiful Mayan Riviera Mexico! 41 family and friends attended and had a blast, the highlights are too many to mention!
for graduating with honours
Mr. & Mrs. Kaliszewski then headed off to Rome, Florence & Venice for their honeymoon. After 2 weeks of “the best pizza they ever had”, lots of vino, gelato and gondola rides, they returned to their pup Kyuse and their brand new home in Fort McMurray Alberta!
at Southern Alberta Institute of Technology for Broadcast Journalism.
Congrats you two, we love you to bits!!! Mom & Rob XO Rebecca Ann Campbell of Kamloops was granted a Doctor of Veterinary Medicine degree from the University of Saskatchewan at the convocation held June 7. Her daughter Roselyn Karpiak joined her in her Ànal year. Dr. Campbell is in veterinary practice in Kamloops.
Love, your family & friends
Let us help you share that
Special Moment...
