$80-million expansion for hospital By Andrea Klassen STAFF REPORTER andrea@kamloopsthisweek.com

Kamloops’ Royal Inland Hospital is set to get better parking and new clinic space as part of an estimated $80-million redevelopment package. Premier Christy Clark, in the city on Wednesday, July 11, to announce the funding, said the first chunk of cash sets the stage for another $320 million in renovations at a later date, including a surgical and inpatient tower. “This is just the beginning,” she said, adding the first phase will get “fundamentals” — designing, business planning and the like — for the rest of the upgrade worked out. In the first phase of the project, the

hospital will get clinic space for its cardiology, neurology, renal and respiratory programs, more teaching space for UBC medical programs and a new parkade at its Columbia Street entrance that will also add a level access point to the hospital for people with mobility issues. The RIH master plan, completed last year, suggested the new parkade could add about 300 more stalls to the hospital’s parking stock. “It doesn’t seem like a big thing until you have a loved one that’s in the hospital,” said Clark, “and the stress of not being able to find a place to park when you’re already feeling pretty stressed about someone you love going through an incredibly tough time inside the building is really difficult.” However, a representative from the

B.C. Nurses’ Union said she is disappointed to see the hospital’s parking issues take precedence over what she said are critical staffing and space shortages. “Parking’s an issue, but this is number one,” said Tracey Quewezance, the BCNU steward for RIH, pointing to signs she and several other union reps held through Clark’s announcement. The signs read “safe staffing = safe patient case.” Quewezance said a lack of capacity has become a serious problem at RIH. As the premier made her announcement, the hospital was already about 25 patients over its capacity, Quewezance said. For her, the announcement was bittersweet. X See KRUEGER A12

A Kamloops father is on trial facing a charge of assault for what he described as a “spanking” — a smack alleged to have left his three-year-old daughter with a palm imprint on her back. The accused cannot be identified under a temporary court-imposed publication ban, aimed at protecting the identity of his daughter. The 26-year-old, who is from Nigeria, but has lived in Kamloops for five years, was arrested a week after the July 26, 2011, incident. He has been free on bail since last August. Court heard the night of the incident was the accused’s first time alone with his daughter. In an interview with police following his arrest, he described the toddler as “mischievous” during the babysitting session. He admitted to spanking the girl while changing her diaper. “I was trying . . . I was discipline to make her better,” he said in the interview with police. The girl’s mother noticed the marks on her daughter the following day and began a text-message conversation with the accused. She asked him about a “red outline of a hand” on the girl’s back and asked if he smacked her. “I said spank. I did spank her,” the accused replied. The girl’s mom then told the accused the incident left the girl with blood blisters and a large red mark. “She has to learn good and bad from young,” he replied. Testifying in court on Wednesday, July 11, the mother said the red marks on the girl’s back were visible for about a week. The trial will continue at a later date. Lawyers will meet on Monday, July 16, to determine when a publication-ban hearing will take place. KTW is considering filing an application in opposition to the ban on the accused’s name. Defence lawyer Sheldon Tate said he is waiting to see how Judge Stella Frame rules on the publication ban before deciding whether his client will take the stand in his own defence.

NDP foe says Stone hand-picked by premier By Andrea Klassen STAFF REPORTER andrea@kamloopsthisweek.com

Todd Stone says now is the time for free-enterprise proponents to decide whether they are in or out. He says he is in it to win the B.C. Liberal nomination in Kamloops-South Thompson. Andrea Klassen/KTW

Candidate conﬁdent Libs won’t be Stone cold By Andrea Klassen STAFF REPORTER andrea@kamloopsthisweek.com

His party may be down in the polls, but Kamloops businessman Todd Stone is convinced the B.C. Liberals can turn it around in the 10 months leading up to the next provincial election. The iCompass Technologies CEO announced on Tuesday, July 10, that he is in the hunt to succeed veteran KamloopsSouth Thompson B.C. Liberal MLA Kevin Krueger, who has opted to not seek re-election. Stone told a crowd of supporters at iCompass’ downtown headquarters that he doesn’t agree with the characterization of the B.C. Liberals as a sinking ship. “The polls say we’re behind . . . I say not so fast,” he said. “Ten months is a lifetime in politics. The election has not been fought and the

NDP has not won anything.” Stone said he wants to work with B.C .Conservative voters in the riding and hopes bring them back into the Liberal fold before election day, May 14, 2013. “This is a two-horse race — the NDP or the B.C. Liberal Party,” he said. “We’re not going to take anything for granted. We still have a lot of work in front of us, a lot of people to meet, a lot of people to talk to. But, if free-enterprisers stick together, we win in ridings like Kamloops.” Krueger, who was first elected in 1996, announced last month he was quitting politics at the end of his current term in the legislature to spend more time with his family. He said he’s “thrilled” to see Stone seek the Liberal nomination and has in the past suggested Stone “will be premier one day,” should he get the party nod.

Stone, a 40-year-old father of three, founded Kamloops-based software company iCompass 14 years ago. The company, which employs 30 people, creates meeting-management and record-keeping software for municipal governments and academic boards. Stone said his small-business background makes him a good candidate for the Liberal candidacy, as does his time on a number of community boards, including Thompson Rivers University’s board of governors and the Thompson-NicolaCariboo United Way’s board of directors. Rather than acting as a deterrent, the B.C. Liberal party’s struggles are part of what pushed him to run, Stone said. “It’s absolutely the right time to jump in now. People need to decide — are you in or are you out? Either you can stand up for what you believe in or not. I’m not prepared to stand on the sidelines.”

He was praised by the premier before he was even officially running for the B.C. Liberal nomination in Kamloops-South Thompson — but could Todd Stone’s close ties to Premier Christy Clark be an advantage for his opponent? “Clearly, Todd Stone has been hand-picked by the premier to run in this constituency,” said Tom Friedman, the B.C. NDP candidate for the riding. “I think he’s going to have to wear a lot of her unpopularity.” Friedman said he doesn’t buy the argument that a new face in the riding will allow the Liberals to move the conversation away from controversies like the HST in the months leading up to the election. “Todd Stone will be a formidable candidate. However, he’s going to have to be defending a series of government policies over the last decade that have really led to a lot of dissatisfaction among voters,” Friedman said. “I think it’s more like out with the old and in with the old. He’s obviously going to have a really difficult time defending what’s been a lot of mismanagement.” While voters in Kamloops-South Thompson voted B.C. Liberal by a greater margin than in KamloopsNorth Thompson in the last election, and while the south riding is generally seen as the safer seat for the party, Friedman said he thinks that’s starting to shift. “I’ve been meeting with a lot of people in the constituency and I’ve had a very positive reception from people I’ve spoken to,” he said. “And, I think they want a change.” The B.C. Conservatives, meanwhile, are getting closer to selecting their candidates for both Kamloops ridings. Regional director Alan Forseth said the KamloopsNorth Thompson Conservatives are in the process of setting up a committee to hunt for a candidate and oversee a nomination meeting, while Kamloops-South Thompson Conservatives have been working on their own nomination process for about a month. Forseth said the south riding association should announce candidates by the end of the summer. “We’re quite confident we’ll have a good candidate in place that will present the message of the B.C. Conservatives — smaller government and common sense,” he said, adding he believes the political momentum is on his party’s side. “I don’t think it will be too much longer until we eclipse the B.C. Liberal Party in the polls. “It’s looking well for us, I believe, and the momentum is just continuing to grow for us.”

Project X Theatre: X-Fest 2012 Prince Charles Park has been transformed into two completely different worlds as Project X Theatre gets ready for their ninth season of outdoor summer theatre in Kamloops. Prepare to be taken away to Verona, Italy where, over five hot days in 1958, a pair of star-crossed lovers, whose families are at odds, teach us that we must love one another, or die. Romeo & Juliet is Shakespeare at his absolute best - passionate and poetic, raw and tender, soulful and tragic. Featuring an incredible cast lead by Benjamin Wardle and Sarina Sorensen as the title characters, and directed by Bard on the Beach's Christopher Weddell, Romeo & Juliet will leave you breathless. Then, get transported to the fanciful world of James & the Giant Peach, by Roald Dahl, a quirky adventure about a young orphan who has everything taken away from him. But, thanks to a new gang of magical friends, he is able to rise above his circumstances and become the hero of his own story. Directed by Kamloops' own Melissa Thomas, James & the Giant Peach will be an inventive romp, by sky and by sea, from England to New York, with James played by Curtis Tweedie. X Fest 2012 runs July 18th until Saturday, August 11th and also features Miranda Allen, Heather Cant, Christina Cuglietta, Dustin Freeland, Kelsey Gilker, Natascha Girgis, Paul Herbert, Dušan Magdolen, Jonathan Molinski, Derek Rein, and Kirk Smith.

Russian trio returns to Kamloops court today A trio of Russian men in custody in Kamloops for allegedly committing a string of retail frauds across B.C. will return to court today (July 12). Sergey Kaspirovych, 23, Artyum Pasternak, 25, and 29-year-old Dennis Ranuk are facing one count each of dealing with an identity document without lawful excuse. They were arrested on Thursday, July 5, at Lansdowne Village shopping centre after allegedly attempting to purchase electronics with bogus credit cards bearing the names Peter Shpendelman and Maksim Ivanov. Kamloops Mounties were alerted to the incident after staff at London Drugs called in a report of suspicious activity. The men are also believed to be linked to similar incidents in the Okanagan — and possibly in other provinces, as well.

ARE YOU A PROCRASTINATOR?

NO PROBLEM... WE PREPARE TAXES YEAR ROUND! reporter@kamloopsthisweek.com

They’re munching on the green stuff , they cost less green and they themselves are green. Goats are on the job in Kenna Cartwright Park, working to rid the area of noxious and invasive weeds. The animals are being used by the City of Kamloops as a green alternative to spraying chemicals. “What can be more natural than animals consuming something?” asked Karla Hoffman, integrated pest-management co-ordinator for the city, noting letting the animals do what comes naturally does not appear to have a downside. Their cost is also very reasonable, at only $300 per hectare. “Goats are working cheap,” she said. “Yes, I was very happy to find that out.” This is the first week on the job for the hundreds of goats the City of Kamloops has put to work as part of an eight-to-12day trial, which will see

the bovids eat through 33 hectares of weed-infested land. There were 300 goats at work on Tuesday, July 10, but that’s just the starting lineup as there are 440 of the animals at the city’s disposal. As with any job, the goats have management, too. Three shepherds on horseback and three dogs — which act as security to keep predators at bay — keep the goats in line, herding them toward the weeds and away from all the other delicious items Kenna Cartwright Park offers. The main target is a yellow-flowering weed by the name of Dalmatian toadflax, which Hoffman said is an invasive species that has sprouted up in the park. The goats have been brought in as the plants flower, prior to them sprouting seeds. Even if the plants had seeds, the goats’ stomachs would take care of it, said Hoffman. “With their digestive system, they pretty much

Silver & Gold

render the seed non-viable, but we have arranged for them to be here prior to seed set on the plants, so it’s not even an issue.” Knapweed and other weeds are also of some concern, but the primary concern is toadflax because it has been getting into areas of the park relatively undisturbed by man. Erin Head, one of the shepherds keeping track of the goats, said it’s a method that is great for the environment — and good for the goats, as well. “The goats love it, they get out, they eat, they love the attention,” she said, noting the animals respond very well to the horses, who, in turn get along with the goats. “They try not to step on them all the time,” Head quipped. Though the experiment is in its infancy, Kelly Johnston, the city’s natural-resources section leader, likes what he has seen so far. “I think it’s going well,” he said. “I mean, it looks like it’s going well.”

Johnston wants to see what impact the goats have on eliminating the weeds, particularly the yellow and green toadflax, which has become quite widespread. “It’s getting into places where humans don’t usually go, whereas weeds such as knapweed stays closer to trails, he said. “The knapweed is essentially staying in places that we can predict it to be and we can manage it. “It’s still tough to manage, but it’s a little easier to manage in those areas because it’s right next to trails. This stuff [toadflax] is spreading into areas that we don’t want to be spraying — and it’s so widespread that handpicking it is quite a job.” This will be it for the goats this summer, said Johnston. The city will look to expand the project for next year, depending on the success of the trial run, budget and public input. People are advised to keep their dogs on leashes during these next two weeks when walking in the park.

Downtown’s grande dame gets a facelift By Andrea Klassen STAFF REPORTER andrea@kamloopsthisweek.com

After closing for more than six months of renovations, a downtown landmark is celebrating a new look. The Plaza Hotel shut its doors in mid-October 2011 for what general manager Shatha Al-Reihani describes as a complete overhaul. “It’s a brand new hotel, from the entrance to the lobby to the restaurant to the guest rooms,” she said. Al-Reihani said the multi-milliondollar project was a much-needed update for the hotel, which got its last refresh more than a decade ago. “It was time for it,” she said. “The last renovations were done in the year 2000, so it was nearly 11 years and, for a hotel, that as way too long.” Because the 1920s hotel is recognized as a heritage site by the Kamloops Heritage Society, designers tried to stay close to the Plaza’s roots — using deephued browns in the colour scheme and darker stone finishes on tabletops and counters. “Because of the heritage status, we kept the design more traditional, as opposed to the funky and trendy stuff,” said Al-Reihani. “So, you won’t find

any funky chairs or funky lights or something. It’s very traditional.” However, the hotel has tweaked its services in more modern ways. It’s now pet-friendly and its business centre and conference facilities have been updated. As part of the change, the hotel’s old Rocksalt Lounge has become the Fireside Steakhouse and Bar, which Al-Reihani hopes will become “the premier steakhouse” in the city. “We’re serving beef that is milk-fed and wine-finished — no hormones, no antibiotics,” she said. “It is the best meat that you can ever get in Kamloops.” The hotel had its soft reopening on May 5, while the steakhouse swung into gear in mid-June. “If you go to Trip Advisor, you will see everyone’s been raving about the new look and the renovations,” she said. “Especially local people because they’ve seen the before and the after.” The Plaza’s rooftop — once home to a tea garden that hosted the Queen of England during a Kamloops visit — wasn’t part of the project, though Al-Reihani said the hotel does get plenty of questions about it from locals and guests.

The socialist hordes are already inside the gates

F NOTHING ELSE, TODD STONE IS OPTIMISTIC. The CEO of iCompass Technologies in Kamloops is seeking to secure the B.C. Liberal nomination in Kamloops-South Thompson and succeed outgoing MLA Kevin Krueger. Based on the popularity of the B.C. Liberals in the eyes of the electorate — yesterday’s funding announcement at Royal Inland Hospital by Premier Christy Clark notwithstanding — it shouldn’t come as a surprise that Stone is already being spoken of as the candidate, even with a nomination meeting yet to be held. With every day seemingly revealing yet another poll showing the governing Liberals falling faster and faster, can a robust field of candidates be expected? Stone’s announcement that he is seeking the nomination stands in stark contrast to the roll call of B.C. Liberal MLAs who have decided to pack it in. Like a salmon returning to the spawning grounds, Stone is swimming against a mighty current — and, when he arrives, he just might find the decaying flesh of a once-formidable political party. Krueger, Harry Bloy, Kash Heed, Dave Hayer and Murray Coell all decided recently they will not be seeking re-election. Barry Penner and Iain Black have already quit, while Finance Minister Kevin Falcon and Education Minister George Abbott have yet to confirm a re-election run in the May

CHRISTOPHER FOULDS Newsroom

MUSINGS 14, 2013 vote. There will surely be more B.C. Liberal MLAs who will decide to opt out of next year’s election campaign — and that means more new faces like Stone’s on election signs provincewide. Whether that transition is viewed as an exodus or influx depends on one’s viewpoint. A more crucial point is the comment made by Stone at his announcement at his downtown office this week. He said the B.C. Liberals can prevail if free enterprisers stick together. That is the key — if they stick together. A degree in political science is not needed to understand British Columbia’s two-party system can be seriously impacted by a credible third party. With the B.C. Conservatives under John Cummins siphoning off more support every day, it is abundantly clear the so-called free-enterprise vote has already been fractured. B.C. Liberal MLAs have recited the party argument again and again — that free enterprisers need to stick

together if we are to keep the New Democrats out of power. It’s a cry that carries with it a 40-year echo, born from words that left the mouth of W.A.C. Bennett during the August 1970 election campaign, when he warned voters “the socialist hordes are at the gates of British Columbia!” (This warning was issued despite Bennett’s government engaging in some curiously socialist-style decisions — such as nationalizing BC Ferries and BC Hydro). Voters then didn’t care and ended Bennett’s 30-year hold on power by electing Dave Barrett and the NDP. The New Democrat hordes are today already inside the gates and rearranging furniture in the premier’s office, if polls are to be believed. Yes, the election is 10 months away and that can be an eternity in politics. Then again, it can also be a split second when issues like the HST, BC Rail and questionable pay raises, bonuses and severance packages are kept in the spotlight. The riding Stone wishes to represent in Victoria has never elected an opposition MLA. Will voters cast a ballot for the candidate they truly prefer or for the candidate who will be in government the morning after? Chances are, they will not be one and the same.

Who says it doesn’t pay to be a politician — even for a blink of an eye? With the B.C. Liberals in a freefall and the provincial election 10 months away, a number of MLAs have decided to leave politics. Much is made by some about the sacrifices made by politicians, of the time spent away from family, of the decision to take a break from their career passion — all to serve the public good. And, while it is always admirable to see men and women take an active part in the democratic process, make no mistake — it is indeed a decision that often pays lucrative dividends far beyond anything a working stiff will ever realize. Surrey-Tynehead MLA Dave Hayer is one of the latest B.C. Liberal to decide against seeking re-election next year. According to Canadian Taxpayers’ Federation (CTF) figures, Hayer’s 12 years in office will give him an annual pension that will start at $47,600 when he turns 65 and climb to $62,900 when he turns 80. The CTF estimates KamloopsSouth Thompson MLA Kevin Krueger will enjoy an annual pension of $87,700 when he turns 65, one that will rise to $115,700 when he turns 80. All that for 17 years in office. The MLA pension plan is indeed gold-plated as taxpayers chip in $4 for every dollar the MLA contributes. More maddening is the fact the B.C. Liberals, under then-leader Gordon Campbell, campaigned in the 1996 election against exorbitant pension plans. The NDP won and implemented a reasonable pension plan, one in which the taxpayer would add one dollar for every dollar the MLA contributed. In 2007, however, Campbell reversed his position and brought back a trough-laden pension, even going so far as to allow MLAs to buy back years lost for a song. Political pension plans at the provincial and federal levels are a disgrace and do nothing to counter the perception (which is reality) that entering the political arena is the path to setting yourself up for life, with your retirement funded well by taxpayers who can barely get by.

B.C. residents pay while large polluters get free ride

Speak up You can comment on any story you read @ kamloopsthisweek.com

A selection of comments on KTW stories, culled online

Re: Letter: How can you get experience if you need experience?: “Can’t get the job without experience; can’t get experience without getting the job. “This has been a cruel paradox from the beginning of the Industrial Revolution. “Many have solved the puzzle through volunteer work or military service.” — posted by Ron Watt

Editor: Is it a coincidence that the recent proclamation by Premier Christy Clark redefining “clean energy” for three multi-billion liquid natural-gas (LNG) corporations created unexpected wealth for a select few shareholders of Progress Energy Resources Corp.? This LNG corporation has ownership in one of the three LNG projects identified in Clark’s definition that burning natural gas is “clean”. Progress Energy Resources Corp (PRQ) traded at $11.58 prior to the premier’s announcement. One week after the announcement, the company was sold to a Malaysian purchaser for $ 20.45 per share, equating to a 77 per cent increase on the existing $11.58 share price. The total value of the sale was $5.5 billion. The one-week gain equalled $2.4 billion enjoyed by previous shareholders of PRQ. The carbon tax on gas of seven cents per litre still applies to every B.C. resident. This is a formula to ensure residents contribute $30 per tonne to the province for contributing to greenhouse-gas emissions. The three corporate LNG projects favoured by our premier will emit 20 to 30 per cent of B.C.’s total greenhouse-gas emissions by 2016

and will likely not pay anything for their pollution. If they were taxed like the general public, their release of 20 megatonnes of greenhouse gas at $30 per tonne would contribute $600 million of carbon tax per annum, which could be directed toward the research for reduction of greenhouse gas or to the health-care budget. Once again, the population of B.C. will be subsidizing multibillion-dollar polluting corporations. The explanation by Environment Minister Terry Lake is that his B.C. Liberal government can’t drive business from the province by applying the carbon tax. Lake’s claim isn’t accepted in Alberta, where that province taxes every corporation producing more than 100 kilotonnes of greenhouse gas. The tax equals $15 per tonne of greenhouse gas emitted. Alberta families driving to work or picking up necessities for their living are exempt from the emissions tax. Alberta recognizes oil and gas businesses won’t leave the province, since that is where the resources lie. This application of tax has Alberta focusing on the large polluters, not the insignificant ones. The B.C. Liberal government also

claims the carbon tax is rebated to British Columbians. Page 66 of the B.C. Budget confirms this claim is true — with the caveat that 59 per cent of the rebate is paid to profitable industries and corporations. In other words, major polluters in B.C. receive most of the carbon tax collected. Some of these are the very oil and gas businesses that aren’t taxed a dime for venting megatonnes of greenhouse gasses from their pipelines. The redefinition by the premier that possibly increased the share price of Progress Energy Resources Corp. will also help the earning potential of one of the largest corporations on the planet. Does it warm everyone’s heart that the Liberal government will not be charging Shell Oil a carbon tax on greenhouse-gas emissions? When a government makes a policy that positively affects a selected few corporations, you can expect the rest of the population and our environment to pay a heavy price. Should multi-billion dollar companies get a free ride on the backs of B.C. families? John Sternig Heffley Creek

KTW file photo While Kamloops celebrated the McDonald Park garden made possible by a donation from Scott’s Miracle Gro, KTW reader Rhonda Dieni has questions.

City of Kamloops needs to revisit its ethical standards Editor: Re: The June 26 KTW story (‘A garden grows in McDonald Park’), which details Scott’s Miracle-Gro’s donation to Kamloops newest community garden: Free money and products in these tight times are welcome, but should Kamloops take any handout without considering its source? Scott’s Miracle-Gro was convicted in March of this year of selling bird seed containing pesticides lethal to birds, a practice it continued for two years after it had been told by its own ornithologists and chemists that its product could kill the very animals it purported to help. It would seem that at Scott’s Miracle-Gro, anything is OK as

long as it makes money. This is not hard to believe, since Scott’s is the exclusive distributor for Roundup, made by Monsanto, the company that brought us Agent Orange, PCBs, dioxins and genetically modified organisms. It is unlikely that Scott’s sentence, to be handed down in the near future for this crime against nature, will cost anything near Scott’s net profit from this heinous act. Is it ethical to take a handout from a terrorist? In my opinion, Scott’s Miracle-Gro is an eco-terrorist and Kamloops should have refused its tainted money. Rhonda Dieni Kamloops

went inside. “We shared a lot of our experiences,” Liz said. “We shared a little bit of just what we do as parents of children with kidney disease.” Liz is in a rare position among parents of children suffering kidney disease — she’s a doctor. That vocation, she said, will help Stephane advance his cause. “I think I’m going to be able to get the word out to many more physicians based on my connections,” Liz said. “But, my primary role is as a parent.” Kathleen, for her part, appeared to be a little overwhelmed by the big production — literally — that overtook her family’s living room on Tuesday. “It makes me a little bit nervous,” the 11-yearold told KTW. “But, it’s a good cause and there’s a lot of people that can benefit.” Liz said Kathleen likes to stay on the sidelines. “She’s a quiet kid that likes to just observe,” she said of her daughter, who ingests 45 pills each day to keep her cystinosis at bay. “She’s doing really well. She started growth hormone in 2009 and she’s grown quite a bit.” Despite that, Liz said, Kathleen’s kidney function is continuing to decline. She’s going to need a transplant. X See SEASON 2 A11

Luckily, the family’s karma bank is full. Last summer, Liz said, her mother — Kathleen’s grandma — decided to do something about the situation. “She gave a kidney to a stranger,” she said. “Now, there’s somebody in Vancouver who has her kidney and is doing very well.” Stephane said he was excited to learn about the Roberts family — not only because of Kathleen’s cystinosis, but also because of Liz’s medical degree. “We don’t know each other, but we’ve got already lots of things in common — the lifestyle and how they deal with it,” he said. “It’s the support, that mental support, and also how do you deal with the future?” From Kamloops, the WorldRiderz and crew set off north to Wells Gray Park, then to Calgary. Their journey across North America will take them south of the 49th into Montana and across the Upper Midwest before crossing back into Canada. They will travel through Ontario and Quebec before riding down the east coast of the U.S., then traversing the country and heading north. The WorldRiderz’ tour of North America is slated to end on Sept. 6, back in Vancouver. That’s when Michael’s art will be auctioned off to raise funds for the journey. And, when Stephane and Paul’s motorbikes roll into the Lower Mainland, don’t be surprised to see a third participant along for the ride. “Dan has a motorcycle as well,” Liz said. “He’s thinking of joining them in Las Vegas on the way back.”

After a long morning of riding their motorbikes, Stephane Etienne (left) and Paul Torriero (right) enjoy a cool drink and chat with Sarah Roberts, mom Dr. Liz Ewart, daughter Kathleen and husband Dan Roberts. Season 2 of WorldRiderz — including the crew’s stop in Kamloops — is expected to air early in 2013. Dave Eagles/KTW

COVER PAGE STORY

Krueger says other $320 million on books X From A1

“There were other pieces they could have done before building that parkade,” she said. “I am disappointed we’re not going ahead with building the tower that would be addressing the capacity issue, the staffing issue. Baby steps, I guess.” Clark said the tower needs to come after the first phase, noting new clinic space will address some of the union’s space concerns. “The surgical tower and that big increase in clinical space

that comes from that can only happen once this is underway,” Clark said. “We don’t want that to remain a fantasy . . . this is the first step and we can’t get to the second step without this.” Clark said the rest of the money for the renovation is “notionally” set aside, but the rest of the funding is probably a few years down the road. It was a statement echoed by Kamloops-South Thompson MLA Kevin Krueger, who Clark praised as a “tenacious, relentless” campaigner for RIH. “The other $320 million

not being committed is on the books,” he said. “It’s not some never-neverland thing.” It’s not yet clear when construction will begin at the hospital. Kamloops-North Thompson MLA Terry Lake said the business plan for the redevelopment is still being worked out, noting there will need to be some negotiation with the city to make required upgrades along Columbia Street. Ideally, Lake said, construction will begin in the back half of 2013.

Mayor taking heat for comments he did not make Kamloops Mayor Peter Milobar is taking heat from the B.C. Nurse’s Union (BCNU) for comments he made about the parking problem at Royal Inland Hospital. There’s just one problem — the mayor said he has never voiced the opinion that has led to union criticism of him. BCNU president Debra McPherson sent out a release on July 10, taking the mayor to task because “he puts solving the parking problem at the hospital ahead of securing physical improvements to medical facilities.” Milobar said that’s not true — and media reports the union based its criticism on don’t imply that’s the case, either.

“Nowhere in that article did I say anything about overcrowding in the hallways,” Milobar said. “They somehow created that out of my quote.” However, he did say the lack of parking at the hospital has been a higher profile issue for many people. “When I open up my email or listen to my voicemail, I get more on parking than hallway medicine,” he said. Milobar said the union’s criticism of an $80-million redevelopment for the hospital misses the big picture. Without more parking, later upgrades — like a planned surgical and inpatient tower — would “exacerbate” an already difficult parking situation, he said.

MORTGAGE MATTERS

LOCAL NEWS

PAYING OFF YOUR MORTGAGE FASTER For many Canadian homeowners, one of their highest financial priorities is to pay off their mortgage as quickly as possible. Making extra payments in the early years can shorten the life of a mortgage — and dramatically lower the mortgage interest costs you’ll pay over the long haul. Those extra payments can be a sacrifice, so here are some tips to help motivate you: TIP #1: Start small - Round up your payments Try adding $10 or $20 extra per payment, the amount of interest you are saving will make a difference over time, and it’s relatively painless to part with. TIP #2: Increase your payment annually to the most you can afford Most lenders will allow you to increase your monthly payment by 10%, 15% or even 20%. Increasing your payment means you won’t have to be disciplined to save up a lump sum payment, it will be added to your payment each month, and go directly against your mortgage principle. If you find the payments are too much, most lenders will allow you to reduce your payment to the original contract rate. A small fee may apply. TIP #3: Pay a lump sum whenever possible Lump sum payments are extra payments which go directly against your mortgage principle. Now remember, your monthly payment of interest and principle was based on you making NO extra payments – so in fact, because of your payment, less interest will accrue and now more of your regular monthly payment will go toward paying down mortgage principle. TIP #4: Invest in your mortgage for tax free savings If you prepay $1000 of your mortgage balance and your mortgage interest rate is 5%, you will save about $50 per year. Now, because of income taxes (estimated at 35%), you actually have to earn $77 to make $50 in real after tax dollars. An argument could be made that your $1000 payment/investment in your mortgage, actually pays a 7.7% return per year, not just 5%. Thats more than most GICs or bonds and the savings are not taxable! TIP #5: With variable rate mortgages, keep payments the same when mortgage rates fall If the payment amount has not been a problem, try keeping it the same and pay down the principal faster. TIP #6: Raise payments in line with increased income If your income increases, consider applying at least some of the surplus toward your mortgage. The long-term benefits of becoming mortgage free faster should be a strong motivator to make an increased mortgage payment. Don’t waste your hard-earned money on interest!

Mortgage Consultant

Eva and Dennis Dornan weren’t too sure about keeping their new abode — the Y Dream Home on Visao Court at Sun Rivers they won through the annual fundraiser for the Kamloops YMCA-YWCA — but, after seeing the house, they’re starting to think it might be a great place to call home. The Kamloops couple’s lucky ticket was drawn on Monday, July 9, and they got a chance to visit their new house the next day. Michael Potestio/KTW

Local, Buy Local! Westsyde Apiaries

Westsyde Apiaries was established in 1975 and quickly became a hobby that grew into a “honey of a business.” With no prior beekeeping experience, Ian Farber had just moved to Kamloops and then decided to become a beekeeper. After a short series of evening lessons at the local bee course Ian was on his way the next spring with two beehives. Always a Westsyde resident, the name Westsyde Apiaries seemed a natural fit. By 1987, the number of hives increased to the point that Westsyde Apiaries could sell at the retail level and Coopers’ Westsyde store was the logical place. Coopers Foods readily took the product line and placed it on the shelf. Now in all four Coopers’ stores, Westsyde Apiaries is proud to be celebrating a 25 year relationship with Coopers’ food stores. “Cooper people” do care about local small businesses!

Coleman’s goal to keep raising money New head of Royal Inland Hospital Foundation arrives from Montreal looking for next big project By Michael Potestio STAFF REPORTER

reporter@kamloopsthisweek.com

The Royal Inland Hospital Foundation’s new CEO is hard at work and believes the organization can raise even more money for the Kamloops hospital. Heidi Coleman has succeeded Veronica Carroll, who led the successful fundraising campaign for the hospital’s new intensivecare unit. Carroll left to join the Delta Hospital Foundation in the Lower Mainland. Coleman moved to Kamloops from Montreal and worked as a high school teacher and co-created a school for kids in crisis — école secondary Eureka —

HEIDI COLEMAN

before taking a leave of absence to pursue fundraising opportunities. She also worked with the Old Brewery Mission and the Jewish General Hospital in Montreal. Coleman plans to pick up where Carroll left off, noting the new intensive-care unit is one of the nic-

est she has seen. “We’re going to just build on what Veronica started and work with the donors who were so passionate and generous with their donations for the ICU,” Coleman said. “We’re going to sit and find out from the head of the hospital what’s needed, what’s the next big project, but I’m also very interested in getting to know the donors and meeting with them and learning about them and why they give.” She said hospitals are insatiable as there is always some sort of need, noting she is confident the foundation can raise even more money for the hospital. Royal Inland

Hospital Foundation board chairman Jim Reynolds said Coleman is the right person for the job, but will have much to prove. “I think she has large shoes to fill with the departure of Veronica Carroll, but I certainly think she has the background and the talent to fill those shoes and take the foundation forward in the years to come,” he said.

Job done, baskets removed By Michael Potestio STAFF REPORTER

Wine

Down with Us

reporter@kamloopsthisweek.com

They put them up — and now, they are taking them down. With water levels receding, the gabion baskets lining areas along the Thompson River are being removed. Extreme Excavating set up the baskets along Schubert Drive and in Riverside Park. On Wednesday, July 11, the company finished dismantling the baskets on Schubert Drive. Their removal didn’t come without some headaches, however. Company owner Doug Macleod said there were problems with traffic control. “Hard time. It’s such a popular trail, but people don’t seem to understand the danger,” he said. MacLeod said there were several people who didn’t realize the danger posed in crossing through the area. On a positive note, there were others who thanked MacLeod’s employees for doing a good job. “That makes you feel good, when at least some people recognize it’s not that easy,” he said. Sharon Qua, who works traffic control for Extreme Excavating, said she had to deal with a jogger cutting through the road closure. He didn’t bother to stop and continued to jog on the closed sidewalk. “And, the language. Like, holy cow, we’re here to protect your

Purchasing a Great Bottle of Wine

By Lianne Milobar, Stag’s Head Liquor Store

Purchasing a bottle of wine can be an overwhelming experience, but it doesn’t have to be. As with anything, once you get informed about a subject, your fears start to dissipate.

Extreme Excavating staff dismantle gabion baskets along Schubert Drive, installed in recent weeks as flooding of the South Thompson River became a concern. Michael Potestio/KTW

homes,”she said. Quarry said for the most part, people have been co-operative. The dismantling process involved using a large excavator with hook attachments to lift the baskets off the ground. The baskets were then folded up, placed on palettes and carted away to be used by the province in the next emergency, said foreman, Zac Edgecombe. The baskets are one-metresquare cubes linked together in sets of five. The sand kept the baskets in place, essentially acting like a giant — and more convenient — sandbag, said Edgecombe. “I can’t imagine how many sandbags this stretch would be,” MacLeod said. Edgecombe said the initial

weight of each section is 15,000 pounds. The freed sand was collected by a front-end loader, deposited into the backs of trucks and hauled off. A water truck came in to wash the road and keep dust down while a bobcat with a sweeper on it swept up excess sand. As for the Schubert Drive sand itself, Extreme Excavating will be stockpiling it at Kamloops’ sewage-treatment plant for a future contract, said Edgecombe. Macleod said Extreme Excavating will be using the sand to bed pipes and electrical lines at the plant. It will be subcontractors for a a $26-million project being built by Maple Reinder, he said.

Gone are the days of walking into a liquor store and having limited bottles of B.C. Wines to choose from - in the 1980s there were only 14 wineries in B.C.! Enter the vibrantly expanding age of amazing B.C. Wine. With over 200 wineries spread through five main regions of the Okanagan, Similkameen and Fraser valleys, plus the Vancouver and Gulf Islands, your choices of wine are seemingly boundless! Check out a bottle of wine. All wine labels must display alcohol content per volume, volume of wine in the bottle and the address of the producer. Wines are also labelled three different ways - by region, grape variety or brand. Most European countries label their wines by region because they believe that some plots of land produce superior quality grapes compared to others, based on the combination of soil, slope of vineyard, climate, varietal and personal touch of the winemaker being expressed through the wine - what the French know as “terroir”. Varietal labelling is most associated with new-world counties like Australia, Canada, Chile and the United States. Varietals are the grapes: Chardonnay (shar-duh-nay), Cabernet Sauvignon (ka-ber-NAY soh-veeNYAWN), Pinot Noir (Pee-noh NWAHR), Sauvignon Blanc (soh-vee-NYAWN blahnk), etc. Brand labelling is usually associated with new world wines and include wines from “Yellowtail”, “Rigamarole”, “Fat Bastard”, etc. These wine labels stand out on the shelf and easily catch the eye of the consumer.

With new-world countries edging in on what used to be European-dominated markets, we are beginning to see a slight increase in varietal and brand labelling on European labels. Wine labels will also show the vintage year; that is, when the grapes were primarily grown and harvested in a single specified year. A non-vintage wine (seen as NV on the bottle, like most Champagne) is usually a blend from two or more years. During the early 20th century, French wine laws were created for fraud prevention and a guarantee of authenticity. That is the “AOC” on French wine bottles, DOC on Italian, AVA on U.S. and VQA on Canadian bottles. In 1990, the Vintners Quality Alliance (VQA) was introduced in B.C. to implement standards and regulations for wine made from 100% B.C.-grown grapes. Not all wineries are obligated to follows these regulations, but they will if they want to have the B.C. VQA label. Wineries not VQA designated must label their wines “Cellared in Canada” or “Product of Canada”, which means that the wine can be made from grapes that come from any part of the world. Some wines, like Pacific Breeze’s hugely popular Killer Cab, are labelled as such, since their grapes are sourced from California, Oregon and Washington, as well as B.C.. It has taken a long time for new-world wines to gain credibility and our B.C. wines should be given the chance they so rightly deserve. Ask your friendly, local liquor store staff for ideas on what to try and learn to trust your own judgment. Everyone experiences thing differently and what one person may love about a wine, you might not. That doesn’t mean that the wine is bad, or that you are wrong in your tasting experience with the wine - it just means that you might want to move on to a different style or varietal. So relax... and experience some of the best wines that B.C. and Canada have to offer! Cheers!

Westsyde history at museum By Michael Potestio STAFF REPORTER

reporter@kamloopsthisweek.com

Another piece of Kamloops history has been added to the Kamloops Museum and Archives. The Kamloops Women’s Resource Group Society and Robert Kelly, former president of the Westysde Community Development Society, have given the museum historical documents on Westsyde’s Centennial Park. The collection consists of documents dating back to 1957, when a community group was looking to establish the park. “This collection represents all the people involved in that — the trials, tribulations, the successes of getting that park established and then maintaining it, looking after it over the years and its role in the

whole Westsyde community,” said Elizabeth Duckworth, supervisor of the Kamloops Museum and Archives. “So, it’s kind of a history of Westsyde itself.” The documents include items such as correspondence, maps, plans and contracts detailing how items such as trees and playground equipment were acquired, as well as the people who were involved. “It’s really a quite detailed snapshot of the neighbourhood and the neighbours, which fills in a real gap in our archival collection because a lot of these neighbourhoods that were outside the city of Kamloops for many years until amalgamation, we don’t have a whole lot of information about the neighbourhoods,” Duckworth said.

The documents span 1957 to 1972 and Duckworth deemed it “amazing” the information — which was kept in a cardboard box — survived through the decades. Duckworth said the Women’s Resource Group Society applied for a grant to teach people how to look after their own personal archives, which prompted Kelly — who was the last keeper of the box

A21

-— to contact the group for help in sorting out the documents. Duckworth noted Kelly and the Women’s Resource Group Society organized the documents in chronological order and put them in acid-free folders. “Now somebody can come along and research the whole history of Centennial Park and the neighbourhood of Westsyde,” Duckworth said.

JOAN (PECK) MELLOWS Born: April 3, 1947 Princeton, BC Passed: July 6, 2012, Kamloops, BC After a short but bravely fought battle, we lost our much loved daughter, mother, grandmother, sister and friend on Friday, July 6, 2012.

He is survived by his loving wife of 14 years, Darla; children Jeremiah (Carrie) of Calgary, Saramarie and Deannalee Joseph of Kamloops, stepchildren Aaron (Korene) McLauchlan, Christopher McLauchlan, James McLauchlan all of Kamloops and Sarah McLauchlan (Darren) of Fort Nelson, Grandchild Gavin of Calgary, numerous stepgrandchildren, his mom Helen Carmichael of Kamloops and his dad Bob Stephens of Powell River. He is predeceased by his sister Val McKee of Kamloops. A celebration of life/memorial service will take place at 1:30 PM on July 12, 2012 at Dallas Barnhartvale Baptist Church with Pastor Don Tyler ofﬁciating. In lieu of ﬂowers, please make donations to the Kamloops Hospice Association at 72 Whiteshield Crescent South, Kamloops BC V2E 2S9.

It’s with great sadness and heavy hearts that we announce the passing of our sister and aunt. Sally Bishop. Sally passed away peacefully in Kamloops on July 3, 2012 at the age of 54. Sally was a long time resident of Kamloops and Chase, and was loved by all who knew her. Sally will be lovingly remembered by her sister and brothers; Cindy Bishop, Allan Bishop, John Bishop, Ron Bishop, and Brad Bishop, as well as numerous nieces and nephews. Also by her loving partner Christopher Locke. Sally was predeceased by her parents Mona and Ronald, and her sisters Elizabeth Ann and Arlene. Memorial Service will be held July 14, 2012 at 1:00 pm at the Kamloops Alliance Church, 233 Fortune Drive. Pastor Tim will be ofÀciating.

After graduation, Joan went to Jasper, AB where she worked at the CIBC and Scotia banks, and had the many adventures there with her friends that young people do. She met Lloyd Mellows in Jasper, and after marrying in 1970, they moved back to Kamloops to start their family. Her children Cheryl and Darryl were born here in 1972 and 1974. Joan’s every action, decision, and thought was based on what would be best for her children. When her grandson Brody was born in 1991, her focus turned to him, and then to her granddaughter Keira when she came along in 1993. Joan travelled to Japan for the births of Maya in 2009, and Kian in 2011. Each of Joan’s grandchildren had their own special bond with Grandma, and felt very loved! Joan loved dancing, ﬁshing, her beautiful shoes, drives in the Okanagan in the summertime, good times with her friends – old and new, special occasions with her extended family, and most of all, spending quiet times with her grandkids, showing them how special they were to her. The family would like to thank Dr. Gabriel and Dr. Bishop for their compassionate care of our Mom, as well as the amazing nurses of 3 West for their support.

In Loving Memory

MICHAEL J. KITTO

Joan will be fondly remembered by her children Cheryl (Shawn) of Logan Lake, BC, and Darryl (Hako)of Iwata-shi, Shizuoka, Japan, her grandchildren Brody, Keira, Maya, and Kian, her mother Dorothy Peck, her brother Don (Jackie) Peck his family, as well as her Uncles Charlie, Bob, Rudy, and Jack, and Aunts Joanne, Edie, and Elsie along with their families.

HENRY (HEINRICH) KIENZLER

Like a rainbow, fading in the twinkling of an eye, gone too soon Shiny and sparkly and splendidly bright Here one day, gone one night Like the loss of sunlight on a cloudy afternoon, gone too soon Like a castle built upon a sandy beach, gone too soon Like a perfect ﬂower, that is just beyond your reach, gone too soon Born to amuse, to inspire, to delight Here one day, gone one night Like the sunset dying, with the rising of the moon, gone too soon.

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

Behold the Baden

Keenan set to compete at junior world championships By Marty Hastings STAFF REPORTER sports@kamloopsthisweek.com

DAM KEENAN is enjoying one of the brightest periods of his young track-and-field career. The 18-year-old hammer thrower, who moved to Kamloops from Victoria last August to train with National Throws Centre coach Anatoliy Bondarchuk, is slated to compete this weekend at the IAAF World

Junior Championships in Barcelona, Spain. “Basically, I’m just learning a bit about the culture, the city itself and continuing training before the meet,” Keenan told KTW from Barcelona. “I’m here with Team Canada. The team is great . . . lots of amazing people and talent.” Keenan easily cleared the qualifying standard of 66.20 metres earlier this season, throwing 72.42 metres at the Kamloops Track and

Field Centennial Meet in May. He is scheduled to compete in the sixkilogram men’s hammer throw qualification round on Friday, July 13. The final is scheduled for Saturday, July 14. “This is a competition with a number of incredible competitors who can all throw a big one at any time,” said Keenan, Sport B.C.’s male high-school athlete of the year in 2011. “I’m confident in

myself, however, and, as far as mental issues go, I’m feeling great. “This should be fun.” Keenan was a throwing machine at the 2011 B.C. high-school championships, winning gold in hammer throw, discus and shot put with Lambrick Park secondary under the tutelage of throws coach Sheldan Gmitroski. He also placed first at junior nationals and won bronze at the Pan American junior Games in 2011. Keenan’s decision

to turn down multiple U.S. schools in favour of training in the River City is paying off. Bondarchuk is widely considered the world’s best throws coach and Keenan has improved greatly under his guidance, annihilating his personal-best throw by more than three metres at a meet in Arizona in March. Keenan’s plan for this weekend is simple: “The goal is to throw as far as I can on the day and to try and make Canada proud,” he said.

The Tournament Capital Centre will host volleyball matches featuring some of the best young players in the province today (July 12) at the Baden Cup. “The Baden Cup is a progressive, large-scale training experience for future Team B.C. athletes,” according to Volleyball B.C.’s website. “The top athletes from across B.C. will come together and train among their peers with some of the best coaches in the province.” The camp, which started on Monday, July 9, will culminate today with a tournament featuring pool play and playoffs that runs from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. There will be about 70 under-16 and under-17 players in competition. Mieke Dumont, Kathleen Leonard, Olivia MacDonald and Melissa Jackman from Kamloops will be in action on the girls’ side.

Drink from the Cup The B.C. Cup Downhill Series arrives at Sun Peaks Resort this weekend. Local downhill mountain bikers Chayse Marshall, Branden Ostoforoff and Jaide Foster are among those who will be in action. Training sessions will be held on Saturday, July 14, from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., with the main races scheduled from 11:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Sunday, July 15.

to have a full showing of the campus, facilities and the awesome baseball program they have to offer,” said Sandstrom, who will pursue a bachelor’s degree in business administration. “With two of my teammates going there as well, it is going to make it a lot easier to make the transition to university.” The Tritons are 11-29 in British Columbia Premier Baseball League play this season.

Douglas is hitting .274 with five doubles, 29 hits and two stolen bases. Tabor is hitting .248 with 28 hits, four doubles, a triple and 14 stolen bases.

Rattlers salvage silver Being active — for life and Bradley was game MVP. The Rattlers then rallied to edge eventual champion Nanaimo, 5-4. After trailing by two goals late in the game, Millan Webster scored the short-handed game-winning goal to clinch the victory. Ewert added two more goals, with Bradley and Nolan Virgo getting one apiece. Goaltender Reed Watson, who was between the pipes all weekend, was named game MVP. Kamloops went on to dump the New Westminster Salmonbellies, 9-0, and Coquitlam Bronze, 14-0. Watson earned both shutouts. Swanton had a goal and two assists to lead the Rattlers against New West, with Bradley and game MVP Dergousoff each scoring twice. Kenzie, Kinney, Ewert and Jackson Steed each singled. Dergousoff scored three goals and three assists to pace Kamloops against Coquitlam Bronze. Ewert had two goals and two assists, Campbell and game MVP Webster had two goals each, and Kenzie had a goal and two assists. Virgo, Jax Anderson, Brady McCutcheon and Justin Vinterlik also tallied, with Bradley and Ethan Hardy each getting two assists. Dergousoff earned all-star team honours for his efforts on the weekend, and the Rattlers were named most sportsmanlike team.

The Kamloops Rattlers Novice Selects won the silver medal in the A2 division at the Jack Crosby lacrosse tournament on the weekend in Burnaby. It is believed to be the highest finish ever by a Kamloops team at this top provincialcalibre tournament. The Rattlers were beaten by the Nanaimo Timbermen 5-3 in the championship final on Sunday, July 8. Harrison Ewert scored twice to lead Kamloops, with Cooper Kenzie rounding out the scoring. Caleb Campbell was named game MVP. The Rattlers entered the final riding the high of a 5-3 semifinal victory over the Ridge Meadows Burrards. Ewert scored twice, with singles coming from Trey Dergousoff, Mason Swanton and game MVP Kenzie. The win was especially sweet, since Ridge Meadows had beaten Kamloops 5-2 in round-robin play earlier on the weekend. Noah Bradley scored both of the Rattlers’ goals, and Landon Kinney was game MVP. It was a tough loss – the Rattlers had already beaten Ridge Meadows twice this season at the New Westminster Bellie Bowl tournament, including a victory in the bronze-medal game. The Rattlers’ only other loss of the weekend was an 8-3 decision to the Saanich Tigers in their opening game of the round-robin. Dergousoff scored twice, Ewert singled

Weird science begets heavy metal dale@kamloopsthisweek.com

Perhaps it wasn’t what his English teacher had expected but Sebastian Montesi took his studies of H.P. Lovecraft seriously. So seriously that the ideas that inspired the author of horror, fantasy and science fiction stayed with him. “Our lyrics are mostly based around his writing,” Montesi said of his metal band, Auroch. “Mainly the fantastical and metaphorical views of the world.” The band, which performs at Pogue Mahone’ Irish Alehouse, 843 Desmond St., on Saturday, July 14, released the first single from its first major recording earlier this week. From Forgotten Worlds is expected to drop in about two months, Montesi said, and the band — which includes Montesi on vocals, guitar and bass, Zack Chandler on drums and Paul

Ouzounov on vocals and guitar — hopes to tour to promote it. The Kamloops stop is one of 10 dates throughout the area this summer. The Lovecraft influence can be heard in the band’s earlier releases, both extended plays. Death May Die, released in 2009, and Stranger Aeons, released in 2010, draw their titles from a famous line by the weird-science author in The Nameless City: “That is not dead which can eternal lie and with strange aeons even death may die.” As for the band’s name, it is inspired both by the author and by a previous incarnation of the group. Montesi said it used to perform under the moniker Tusk “but there were a lot of bands with that name so, when we were looking for anew one, we wanted to stay with the horned idea.” Research led them to the auroch, an extinct predecessor to a bull — and an animal that might have found itself at home in some of the

worlds Lovecraft created. Auroch shares the bill with Pangaia. Admission is $10 for the 19-plus show that starts at 9:30 p.m. Vancouver-based deathmetal band Auroch is at Pogue Mahone Irish Alehouse on Saturday, July 14.

A little bit funk, a whole lot R&B and a love of music that makes you dance, the Chantrelles will be featured at Music in the Park on Saturday, July 14.

Move over, Motown By Dale Bass STAFF REPORTER dale@kamloopsthisweek.com

A lot of would-be singers get their start covering the massive discography known as Motown. That was the story of the Chantrelles two years ago, when the eight-piece band based in Victoria started to make a name for itself. Then, following a change in lead singer, the Chantrelles decided it was time to make its own music, said Erin Dwyer. So, when the band takes the stage at Riverside Park on

Saturday, July 14, sure, it will do some Motown, but it will mainly be original music. As Dwyer puts it: “Spending an evening with The Chantrelles, you’ll hear early-1970s funk bumping up against old-school twist tunes, with a late-1950s R&B-style ballad here and there. “Of course, we still mix it up with the classics you can’t dance without but, once your body’s moving, you’ll be hardpressed to tell the difference between the original hits and The Chantrelles’ own creations.”

FRIDAY NORTH SHORE MARKET

The eight — Adam Martin, Barb Merrick, Chance Lovett, Emily Kells, Andy Bishop, Alias Powell, Erin Dwyer and Scott Raddysh — are working on a seven-inch vinyl that will have one song on each side. They also have almost enough material for a complete recording, Dwyer said, something that’s also in the plans. It’s their first time performing in Kamloops. Dwyer has relatives in the River City who told her about Music in the Park’s nightly concert series. The band takes the stage at 7 p.m.

COMMMUNITY

Much to speak about at Double L 4-H Club By Alana Higgins SPECIAL TO KTW editor@kamloopsthisweek.com

HE DOUBLE L 4-H Club has had a great start to

the year. In February and March, we hosted club public speaking. February was speeches, which consists of juniors giving a three-to-five-minute prepared speech and seniors presenting an eight-to-10-minte prepared speech. Seniors were also required to give a oneminute impromptu. The results: Tristan Wintrup finished first among seniors, with Mackenna Fink coming in second. Ally Crawford was first among juniors, followed by Kate Bibeau and Kennedy Bennett. Tristan and Ally moved on to the districts, where they represented our club very well, with Ally finishing second at that level. In March, the club gathered once again for the second day of communications. Teams of two were required to present an eight-to-10-minute demonstration. In seniors, Melanie Bibeau and Katie Miller were first and Emily Balfour and Tori Brawn were second. Among juniors Alana Higgins and Emalee Higgins won first and moved on to the districts, where they finished second. This day also saw members do a speakand-show, an individual presentation of between eight and 10 minutes on an agriculture-related topic. Michelle Ogilvie finished first in the senior category, with Jordyn Brook taking first among juniors, followed by Bailey Gamache and Rebecca Curtis. It was a job well done by all our members.

April came with a judging practice, followed by the first district judging competition of the year. Yale County 4-H Club hosted a great field day at Haughton’s Corrals. The members were required to judge a class of brood mares, riding geldings and two alternates that were assigned. In junior horse judging, top marks were given to Brianne Mikulasik and second to Alana Higgins. Brianne also finished second in beef alternate and Emalee Higgins was third, while Ally Crawford was first and Eric Crawford second in sheep alternate.

May came and so did the Senior Council District Rally judging day. Thank you to the B.C. Livestock Yards for allowing 4-H to take over for the day. Members were required to judge brood mares, riding geldings and one alternate of choice. After a great day, Michelle Ogilvie took first in senior horse judging, followed by Beth Reed in second. Emalee Higgins finished first for juniors, with Ally Crawford second and Kennedy Bennett third. Emalee also won top Junior Female Aggregate judge. The success of

Free

our club and 4-H in general could not be possible without the wonderful volunteers who put time in as judges, scorekeepers, horse handlers and organizers, as well as the support from the Knutsford Community and RA Hair Studio for the help with our bottle drive. The entire Double L 4-H Club would like to thank everyone who has helped out with this wonderful program.

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.

The black-and-blue of waking to school

DONâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;T THINK OF MYSELF AS SUPERSTITIOUS. At least, I really donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want to. The superstitious, after all, have to contend with all kinds of neuroses. I have had enough of those. For example, there was the horror of walking to kindergarten, anxiously hopscotching over cracks in the sidewalks, lest my careless, walk-where-I-pleaseways, put my mother in a wheelchair. Did the curse of Step-on-a-crack-breakyour-motherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s-back include only large fissures and frost heaves, I wondered as I sidestepped and tip-toed? Or, would trodding on surface crackles cause, perhaps not a broken back, but some kind of woesome strain? Did it apply to sidewalks alone or also paved streets? Shoes, for certain. But, what about roller skates and bikes? These were the questions faced by my kindergarten self. As a result, I trespassed on a lot of lawns. In the intervening years, however, I learned to place no faith in sidewalk-based theology. I walked and ran and skipped and rode bikes over all manner of cracks. And, nary a one of them, so far as I could tell, caused anyone elseâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s spinal damage.

DARCIE HOSSACK Bon APPĂ&#x2030;TIT Except, perhaps, my own. There was a rollerskating incident that mangled my tailbone and earned me a trip to the Mennonite bonesetter (an unlicensed chiropractor whoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d gotten her start on chickens before moving up to sheep and people). For five dollars, this 100-year-old woman would correct matters of the spine in her living room/practice that smelled of liniment. Other minor back injuries have followed over the years. I slipped and fell on a rise of outdoor steps, left mounded with compact snow and ice by a new-to-Canada couple from California, who either didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have a shovel or understaning of winter. A dozen visits to a physiotherapist mostly fixed the damage. Then, last summer, while reaching into our chest freezer for a box of blueberries Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d tagged for a cobbler, I bent at the waist. I leaned over the wall of the freezer and down, down, down. I grasped the box by its edges.

I tugged with too much conviction. POP! went something in my back. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m on a waitlist to see a specialist. Meanwhile, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m marking this anniversary. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a year, now, since I became unable to carry heavy pots and small appliances or shop for groceries without a sherpa (who is sometimes my mother, whose back is just fine). Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the anniversary of when my bottomdoor fridge became the bane of my existence. The day when I stopped being able to cut cold butter into flour or beat cream cheese into hard ice cream for cheesecake sundaes. So, while itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s true Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m no longer supersti-

tious about sidewalk cracks and broken backs, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m just a little paranoid now about lifting, bending and twisting. After all, while I may have put away childish superstitions a long time ago, July

Have some avocado with your chocolate pudding

’M ALWAYS A BIT SURPRISED WHEN PEOPLE TELL ME THEY DON’T EAT AVOCADOS BECAUSE THEY ARE HIGH IN FAT. It is true a single avocado contains about 20 to 30 grams of fat, yet it is a myth that all fats are bad. The fat in avocados is primarily monounsaturated fat, a heart-healthy fat helps lower bad cholesterol. Avocados are also a good source of vitamins, minerals and antioxidants. They contain B vitamins, potassium and the antioxidant lutein, which is thought to help prevent cataracts. They are also a good source of fibre. So, despite being calorie-dense, avocados have an important role in a healthy diet and even in a weight-loss plan. Not only are they full

hocolate p

of nutrients but the fat and fibre content make you feel full. If you are trying to lose weight, you don’t want to go to town on chips and guacamole, but slicing a quarter of an avocado on your sandwich or salad will make your meal more filling and nutritious. When buying an avocado, look at the colour of the skin and the firmness. An unripe avocado is green and hard. A ripe avocado will feel firm, but a bit soft when you apply gentle pressure. An over-ripe avocado will feel loose under the skin and is very darkgreen-brown in colour. To speed up the ripening process, put your avocado in a paper bag with a banana or apple. Looking for more ways to eat avocados? Try mashing them

2 ripe avocados 1/2 cup maple syrup 1 or 2 tsps. vanilla extract 1 tsp. balsamic vinegar 1/2 tsp. low-sodium soy sauce 1/2 to 1 cup cocoa * 1 or 2 cups raspberries (fresh or frozen) Shaved dark chocolate to garnish In a food processor, blend until smooth the avocado, maple syrup, vanilla extract, balsamic vinegar and soy sauce. Sift the cocoa powder with a metal strainer to remove lumps, then add to the avocado mixture and blend until smooth. Refrigerate the pudding in a tightly sealed container for up to a week or freeze it for up to a month. Serve chilled, layered with raspberries and garnished with fresh mint and shaved chocolate. *Note: I suggest starting with one-half or two-thirds of a cup of cocoa and increasing the chocolate intensity to your preference. When trying out this recipe, I used one cup of good quality dark cocoa and the pudding came out delicious but very rich. I love very dark chocolate, but I think it would be too rich for most. I suspect the quality of cocoa you use will affect the outcome. Next time I make it. I’ll try it without the soy sauce as I’m not sure that ingredient is necessary. Enjoy!

TRAVEL

Fraser Valley Bound?

Walk the Freedom Trail By Chris Millikan SPECIAL TO KTW travelwriterstales.com

OAN BAEZ SINGING PLEASE COME TO BOSTON FIRST STIRRED MY INTEREST IN VISITING THE CITY. Later, that zany Cheers gang sparked further inducement. And then, there’s all that history! So, cruising New England aboard Carnival’s Glory, I fulfil a longstanding dream. Upon docking, excited shipmates go to Harvard, the J.F. Kennedy Library, Salem’s witch country or the Red Sox home in beloved Fenway Park; others search out burgers and beer at Cheers. And, we join history buffs aboard a bus heading for the Freedom Trail. Along the way, guide Daniel begins: “You’ve heard of Back Bay? “Well, before a huge 19th-century project filled it in to create new real estate, that’s exactly what it was — a pretty bay!” Known for beautiful Victorian brownstone homes, narrow streets and tidy brick sidewalks, Back Bay and Beacon Hill became Boston’s most-expensive neighborhoods. Our four-kilometre walk into revolutionary times begins across from the gold-domed Massachusetts State House. Daniel introduces Boston Common, established in 1634. “Puritan settlers grazed their cattle in this wonderful public park. Over 1,000 redcoats camped on the lush grass during British occupation in 1775. “Huge bonfires and fireworks celebrated the Stamp Act repeal and end of the Revolutionary War. It’s still used for celebrations and gatherings.” A familiar landmark, Park Street Church anchors Brimstone Corner, nicknamed for passionate preaching there and gunpowder kegs cached for the War of 1812. Twice daily, melodious carillon notes ring out from its elegant

steeple. At adjacent Granary Burial Ground, Daniel relates: “The first bloodshed of America’s revolution became known as the Boston Massacre; redcoats fired into a crowd of Bostonians, killing five.” Those casualties, as well as settlers ravaged by fires or plague, rest under weathered headstones bearing unusual winged skulls. Elaborate markers identify the Revolutionary War’s bestknown patriots. At John Hancock’s gravesite, Daniel reveals some not so statesmanlike behaviours. “At the Continental Congress, John Adams appointed experienced officer George Washington as troop commander, not Hancock, and Hancock never again spoke to his longtime friend! “One other patriot, John Adams’ controversial cousin, Samuel Adams, often justified violence in the name of freedom!” An eye-catching sidewalk mosaic denotes America’s first public schoolhouse; today Benjamin Franklin’s stately statue overlooks Boston Latin School site, where he, Samuel Adams and John Hancock attended. Down the block, overflow meetings of angry citizens at Old South Meeting House frequently objected to injustices in the colonies. Across the street at old Corner Bookstore, Danielsays: “And this was the literary centre of the mid-1800s. “Longfellow, Emerson, Hawthorne, Stowe and Alcott, all our greatest writers published their manuscripts here.” Near the historic dock area, we sight stalwart Faneuil Hall, built in 1742. Second-floor rooms still host meetings and gatherings. Here, between 1764 and 1774, colonists loudly challenged British rule at crowded town-hall meetings. Such fervor inspired Sam Adams to organize

Boston’s Tea Party, dumping some 342 chests of tea into the harbour, valued today at more than $4 million. To our amusement, artsy bronze replicas of market-day ‘garbage’ lie scattered across the intersection, whimsically reminding us that the hall’s ground floor market stalls have long served shoppers. As we sit in box pews inside old North Church, a docent teaches us about its pivotal role at the start of the revolution. “On April 18, 1775, Paul Revere ordered two lanterns hung in our steeple, which warned 400 countrymen of three British brigades heading for Lexington and Concord via the Charles River.” During his famous midnight ride, he informed Samuel Adams and John Hancock redcoats were marching to arrest them. This well-marked trail ends where the Bunker Hill monument memorializes the revolution’s first bloody battle. Here, colonials demonstrated that they could effectively fight trained British soldiers — if not win that day.

250-314-9923

101- 929 Laval Crescent, Kamloops

We return through Boston’s Little Italy, an area first settled in 1630. Looping through narrow streets lined with quaint cafes and bakeries, we pass Paul Revere’s home. The oldest building in this earliest neighborhood, his preserved 1680s house stands among brick apartment buildings and modern streets. Nearby, old State House housed the first colonial and state governments, including a merchants’ exchange. Now a museum, it hosts re-enactments of momentous events such as annual readings of the Declaration of Independence from its tiny balcony. Below, a cobblestone circle marks the site of the 1770 Boston Massacre. Churches, meetinghouses, burial grounds and parks along Boston’s Freedom Trail provide insights into America’s Revolution. Back aboard ship, we toast this cradle of liberty.

WEEKLY CROSSWORD

BUSINESS

Sun Peaks sees beneﬁt in daily L.A.-Kelowna ﬂights United Airlines has announced it will introduce daily non-stop service between Los Angeles International Airport and Kelowna International Airport. The new flight will begin on Dec. 19 and coincide with the Christmas ski season. “This flight will create easier connections for California-based groups and skiers and a new connection alternative for guests coming from Sydney, Australia,” said Colin Brost, director of sales for Tourism Sun Peaks, noting Australia is the resort’s largest overseas market. “Sun Peaks is likely the best connected resort in B.C.,” Brost said of the province’s second-largest ski area. The new daily flight on the CRJ700 Series, 66-passenger plane will leave Los Angeles at

6:40 p.m. and arrive in Kelowna at 9:44 p.m. The return flight departs Kelowna at 8 a.m. and arrives in Los Angeles at 10:51 a.m. Kelowna International Airport is the largest airport in the ThompsonOkanagan region. Brost noted Sun Peaks airport shuttles to Kelowna have proven important to the resort’s growth in Ontario. Guests can fly from Toronto with a one-stop to Kamloops Airport and be within a 45-minute drive of the resort. Or, they can fly into Kelowna and drive the remaining 2.5 hours to the ski hill. Los Angeles International, in addition to being the sixth-busiest airport in the world, is the third-busiest in the United States, offering more than 600 daily flights to 91 domestic cit-

ies and more than 1,000 weekly nonstop flights to 58 cities in 32 countries on nearly 75 air carriers. In 2011, the airport saw more than 61 million passengers pass through its terminals. United Airlines, which amalgamated with Continental Airlines last year to become the largest airline in the world, flies to 375 airports in 62 countries. It is a founding member of the Star Alliance network of airlines that includes Air Canada. It operates a fleet of 702 aircraft. Kelowna International Airport director Sam Samaddar said the Golden State destination is a logical addition. “California is the largest transborder market for Okanagan residents and currently accounts for 28 per cent of the outbound travel to the U.S.”

Groups get gambling-grant cash Ten organizations in Kamloops and the region will share in $251,620 in gambling grants from the Ministry of Community, Sport and Cultural Development. They are: • McArthur Island BMX Association ($5,820). • Association Francophone de Kamloops ($27,000) • Kamloops Interior Summer School of

Music ($20,000). • Kamloops Long Blades Association ($12,000). • Clearwater and District Minor Hockey Association ($20,000). • Kamloops Minor Lacrosse Association ($20,800). • Kamloops Summer Swim Club ($16,000). • Western Canada Theatre Company Society ($70,000). • Chase and District

Museum and Archives Society ($15,000). • Kamloops Aquatic Club ($45,000). Across British Columbia, 281 recipients will share $9,85 million in the latest round of grants from provincial gambling revenue. In the 2011/2012 fiscal year, Victoria handed out $135 million in gambling grants to 5,300 community groups.

Airport has them ﬂying in and out The number of travellers using Kamloops Airport continues to increase. In June, the airport recorded 21,254 travellers, a 4.4 per cent increase over the 20,322 bodies that passed through the airport in June 2011. Through the first half of the year, Kamloops Airport has recorded a five per cent rise in the number of people using the facility — 136,734 in 2012 compared to 130,273 in 2011. “As we head into the summer travel season, air carriers report that

B17

in-bound destination type travel is increasing,” said Fred Legace, Kamloops Airport’s managing director. “This increase comes as the region’s tourism product has expanded and the marketing by Tourism Kamloops has created a top of mind presence for people seeking a good value vacation stay.” Total aircraft movements this year has increased by 11 per cent (to 3,971 from 3,583), with Legace noting the addition of the Canadian Flight Center flight training school having an impact on those statistics.

FAITH

How to reverse the vanitas vanitatum of our souls My soul thirst for God, for the living God (Psalm 42:2) nlike the beloved Psalm 23, the 42nd Psalm is not exactly a congenial summer-time inspirational reading, except for the similitude expressed in the first two verses. We don’t know who the poor, wounded, sorrowing spirit was who wrote it. Commentators suggest it was David when fleeing from his own son, Absalom. But, whoever it NARAYAN MITRA was, he was a real You Gotta Have man, with a real FAITH craving, deep and strong, that nothing on earth could satisfy. And, he felt God could. Do you think thirsting for God is something peculiar to a few saintly souls here and there? No, in a real sense, I think it belongs to us all. I think that poor restless psalmist, more than 3,000 years ago, was voicing the eternal cry of humanity all the world over.

We are all thirsting. We are all craving. We all want God, if only we knew it. Just like the body, the soul has its hungering and thirsting and the only satisfaction for the craving of the soul is God, even the living God. In the Bible, the soul of man is regarded as a living, hungering faculty, wanting its proper sustenance and restless without it. The prophet Isaiah called to his fellows, restless and thirsting amid their pleasures and sins. “Come, all you who are thirsty, come to the waters. Why spend your money on what is not bread and your labour on what does not satisfy?” While on earth, Jesus seemed to feel himself in a region of famishing souls that hardly had the sense to know what they were famishing for. “I am the bread of life,” he said. Again, “My Father gives the true bread from heaven.” “He that drinks of earth’s water shall thirst again. He that drinks of the water that I shall give shall never thirst.” People find many objects (read, toys) to place before them to ease their dissatisfaction. They thirst for riches, for honours, for pleasure, for success in life — and they gain them — and still they thirst. I do not intend to paint any gloomy view

of life. Life is full of pleasant things, but the soul, made in God’s image, cannot rest in these. Hence comes dissatisfaction. Some of our most beautiful poems are expressions of this craving. One of the truest novels closes with the weary sigh: “Vanitas vanitatum. Which of us gets his desire, or getting it is satisfied?” That is the cry of a world without God. Why are we thus with restless instincts? Because God has so made us. But, again, why? It is for the same purpose as our bodily cravings. Reason alone is not enough to impel us to perform the functions of life. So also in the life of the soul. We know the soul needs God. Reason and revelation bids us seek the Kingdom of God and His righteousness. But, we are so occupied with the cares and pleasures and lusts of other things that we neglect do so. Therefore, it is God’s mercy that creates in us this dissatisfaction which can never find its fruition but in God, even the living God. As a young seagull is restless in its instinct for the sea, so is the human soul in its instinct for God. We might make our caged seagull moderately content by pleasant surroundings and appealing food.

We may make a human soul moderately content with riches and comfort and the pleasures of life but, the restless instinct is underneath. By keeping the seagull away from the sea, by keeping the human soul away from God, we may puzzle him as to what his restlessness means. But it is there. That is why the media of today tell us in graphic terms of the dissatisfaction of modern life. That is why William Makepeace Thackeray of yesteryears told us in his great novel Vanity Fair of unsatisfied desires of his society. Let’s not try to feed our famished souls with husks. Let us thank God that He has made our lives dissatisfied — not in anger, but in tenderness — to draw us to Himself. If we honestly desire to get nearer to God, we will become so, however dimly we perceive God as yet. narayanmitra@hotmail.com KTW welcomes submissions to its Faith page.
