Murder confession at assault trial Mark Lindsay says he killed ex-girlfriend

THE

FLAME GAME

By Tim Petruk STAFF REPORTER

tim@kamloopsthisweek.com

An Edmonton man has admitted in a Kamloops courtroom to killing his ex-girlfriend, stabbing an undercover police officer and blinding his cellmate at Kamloops Regional Correctional Centre — but he said he had no other choice. Mark Lindsay took the stand in his own defence on Wednesday, Aug. 15, in the second day of his aggravatedassault trial, describing in detail a group of “serial killers” he thinks has been trying to kill him for more than three years. The 25-year-old was arrested on Sept. 21, 2011, after attacking an undercover Mountie in Barriere. At the time, Lindsay was the target of an elaborate undercover RCMP Mr. Big operation. The operation began just days earlier. Undercover officers were attempting to find out if Lindsay had anything to do with the disappearance of his exgirlfriend, 31-year-old Dana Turner. Turner had vanished a month earlier, shortly after Lindsay — the son of a former Edmonton police chief — got out of jail following a 50-day

There’s no set pattern and no obvious cause, but Kamloops is catching ﬁre far more often than it did in 2011

sentence for stabbing her in the head. In his testimony, Lindsay admitted to killing Turner. But, he said, he was acting out of selfdefence. “I killed her and I panicked,” he said. “I didn’t want to go back to prison, so I covered up the body and everything.” Lindsay said Turner was part of a group of serial killers who had been threatening him for years. He said she was sending him threatening “psychic communications” in the moments leading up to the murder. “She wanted to kill me,” he said. “I was very certain of that. “She told me she was going to kill me and a lot of other people. I was in a panic. “This sounds crazy, but she was a powerful witch and she could communicate with me psychically,” he said.

“I didn’t feel bad because I knew she wanted to kill me, but it was traumatizing. It was traumatizing to kill a woman like that.” Wendy Yurko, Dana Turner’s mom, told KTW following Lindsay’s admission: “My thoughts are so complicated about my daughter. “I don’t have any faith in our system. “The only thing that will make me feel better is if he would die the way he killed my daughter. “It’s like we live in an alternate universe. “This is not our life, this is somebody else’s life and we just happen to be in it.” Turner’s body was discovered in a farmer’s field near Red Deer in October 2011. Lindsay said he left Edmonton after killing Turner and headed to Vancouver. “It was just to get out of the city,” he said. “I was still in shock from what I had done.” On a Greyhound from Vancouver to Edmonton, Lindsay met SM — an undercover Mountie whose name is protected by a court-ordered publication ban. SM offered Lindsay work and he accepted.

AN RE PL FUTU ANSIT BC TR

BC Transit ﬂoats pass linked to property-tax hike By Andrea Klassen STAFF REPORTER andrea@kamloopsthisweek.com

It would mean paying more than $200 extra in property taxes per year, but BC Transit thinks a new funding formula that treats transit more like police and fire services could be the way of the future. But, it needs one community to “take leadership” and volunteer for a pilot project, BC Transit spokeswoman Maribeth Burton told KTW. “And,” she said, “it would be really neat if it were Kamloops.” The Community Pass Program is part of BC Transit’s Transit Future Plan and, Burton said, a particular passion of the company’s president and CEO Manuel Achadinha. A potion of the

property-tax bill is already funding transit operations — Burton estimated it’s about $80 per household in Kamloops — but taxpayers who want to use the bus still pay to ride The Pass Program would shift that model somewhat. Taxpayers would contribute about $318 per year (a gas taxbased discount could bring that number down somewhat) to transit services and receive a yearly pass transferable to any member of the household. “We all pay for fire and police service, but you don’t get a bill if you should happen to use those services,” Burton said. “So, if you happen to use transit, why are you being billed?” “People would feel

like they’re getting value from contributing their property taxes to BC Transit.” The program will likely be discussed in depth this fall by the BC Transit board — of which Kamloops Mayor Peter Milobar is a member — and it will be up to a city to agree to take part in the pilot program. Burton said Kamloops is a community the transit authority would be excited to partner with because the city is already an industry leader. A report to Kamloops council last month showed the

city’s transit service has the lowest cost per ride of any Tier 1 city in the province. (Transit outside Metro Vancouver’s Translink system falls under BC Transit’s authority. The systems are divided into three tiers, with Tier 1 comprising the largest communities. Kamloops is one of seven Tier 1 transit systems.) “There are only a few Tier 1 cities for BC Transit and it’s the one that sees year-over-year increased ridership,” Burton said. BC Transit is also drawing up Community Pass funding formulas

for other larger centres, including Victoria and Kelowna. City of Kamloops transit planner Erin Felker said the idea isn’t one city staff have investigated, but noted she has had a few councillors pitch similar ideas to her in the past. However, before the transit department takes a closer look at the pitch, Felker said she would need council to show an interest in it. “It would have to be something they would like to pursue,” she said. Coun. Donovan Cavers said he would be interested in bringing the Pass Program to Kamloops and called the tax increase a “bargain” when compared to the cost of a yearly bus pass.

“If every household had an annual bus pass, I think a lot more people would try the bus,” he said. “Cost is definitely a barrier and, when the weather is like it is now, I’m sure a lot of people who’ve never used the bus would try it out.” But, Cavers conceded the program would probably spark some backlash. “I’m sure there’d definitely be some resistance. People never want to pay more taxes,” he said. That higher tax bill is also an issue for Coun. Pat Wallace, who called the Community Pass Program a “nice idea,” but one not suited for to the Tournament Capital. To make the program work, Wallace

believes the city would require a major service expansion with more buses and better hours. “I don’t believe the majority of people want to stand and wait for a bus or sit and wait for a bus that isn’t direct,” she said. However, Wallace added, taxpayers cannot shoulder the expense of a bus system that will suit the needs of all. Wallace does think the program might work somewhere like Vancouver, where taking transit can save time that might otherwise be spent sitting in traffic. “I think it’s a nice idea and I think it sounds ideal,” she said. “Unfortunately, I think it’s idealistic for Kamloops. “Larger cities have a better shot at it.”

Judge to decide fate of relationship tim@kamloopsthisweek.com

The fate of a former Kamloops school-bus driver’s relationship with a teenaged girl he met on his bus route — a relationship that cost the 59-year-old his job — is now in the hands of a judge. Evidence and submissions wrapped up on Tuesday, Aug. 14, in Kamloops provincial court for Merv Hanson, the ex-bus driver, the Ministry of Children and Family Development and the girl, now 16, whose name KTW has chosen not to publish. Hanson was fired in March after a threepronged investigation by the Kamloops-Thompson school district, the Kamloops RCMP and ministry social workers. The girl, who was 15 at the time, ran away from home in March and, for a time, moved in with Hanson, during which he gave her music lessons, according to his earlier testimony. Hanson then agreed to stop spending time with the girl. However, after they had further contact, court heard, he was placed on an order by social workers to stay away from her. He’s been fighting that order in court for more than two months. In court this week, Hanson and ministry lawyer Tom Weiss were at times yelling at each other during cross-examination. Hanson took exception to much of what

the ministry entered as evidence throughout the three days of hearings, stretching back to June. Court heard about dysfunctional relationships in Hanson’s past, prior ministry involvement in his family life and a serious criminal allegation levelled against him by his 17-year-old stepdaughter in 2009. The girl told police Hanson attempted to sexually assault her as she slept. She said she woke up and fought him off. Both were left with injuries — the stepdaughter with bumps and bruises and Hanson with a cut lip. The stepdaughter later moved away from Kamloops and the police investigation stopped. During cross-examination, Weiss pressed Hanson on “the optics” of his relationship with the girl from his bus route. “Do you understand how all of this is being perceived around you?” the lawyer asked. “Yeah,” Hanson replied. “It’s sad the way they view it.” “The optics of this situation are unsettling, would you agree?” Weiss asked. “Yeah,” Hanson replied. “For some twisted people.” Hanson has not been charged criminally for anything relating to his relationship with the teen. However, court has previously heard he is under investigation by police in Ontario for the alleged harassment of a

girl who used to ride on his Kamloops bus, but later moved east. In his closing submission, Hanson said he’s not the bad guy the ministry has made him out to be. “I can sympathize with the parents — I can

understand what they think they lost,” he said, turning to look at the girl’s family seated in the courtroom gallery. “But, I never took it away from them. You people brought this on yourself.” The girl remains in foster care, refusing to return home. Kamloops provincial court Judge Stephen Harrison said he will need 30 to 60 days before handing down a decision. A date has yet to be set. At the conclusion of the hearing, Hanson’s request to have the interim order removed pending Harrison’s decision was denied.

TIB ﬁles suit for day scholars They were not included in an earlier residentialschools settlement with the federal government By Andrea Klassen STAFF REPORTER andrea@kamloopsthisweek.com

A class-action lawsuit seeking compensation for students who attended residential schools in Kamloops and the Sunshine Coast as day students has been filed with the Federal Court of Canada. The lawsuit, filed by the Tk’emlups and the Sechelt Indian bands in Vancouver on Wednesday, Aug. 15, seeks damages from the federal government on behalf of students who attended residential schools on both reserves, but who didn’t live at the institutions. While students who resided at the schools received “commonexperience” payments from the Canadian government through the $1.9-billion Indian Residential Schools Settlement in 2006, students who only attended during the day did not.

Gottfriedson estimates there are 220 TIB members who were day scholars. Gottfriedson said the bands are seeking compensation for students’ loss of their traditional culture and language because of the program of assimilation in place at the schools, where students were taught

their native heritage was sinful. The claim states that Canada’s residential-schools pro-

gram was designed to forcibly assimilate aboriginal people and, “through this policy, Canada ripped away the foundations of identity for generations of aboriginal people and caused incalculable harm to both individuals and communities.” Gottfriedson called filing the claim an important first step. “It’s two communities from a grassroots level that are advancing the initiative,”he said. “It’s no political organization. It’s two bands that partnered together to seek justice for our people.”

These really are hazy days of summer Fires in Siberia, California affecting air quality in Kamloops area By Andrea Klassen STAFF REPORTER dale@kamloopsthisweek.com

There are a few possible suspects, but the fires that originally produced the haze that has hung over the Tournament Capital are almost certainly Siberian, according to a provincial air-quality expert. Meteorologist Ralph Adams said fires in California, as well as a string of burns across northern B.C. and Alberta and the territories, are also considered possible sources. “Because the smoke can move and then stay somewhere for a while and build up, and then swirl and get blown back over where it originally came from, it gets very complex,” he said. “There's lots of smoke around, but we are confident that it’s long-range transport because of the nature of the smoke.” In this case, it’s the even nature of the haze that points to a Siberian origin, Adams said. “When you look at it, you can't see

any layers that are thicker than the others,” he said. An even haze over an extremely wide area — on Monday, Aug. 13, the haze stretched from Quesnel to the U.S. border — also points to a longdistance fire. A more localized haze would vary in thickness as smoke would spread out from the blaze. But, in the case of smoke coming from another continent, “the atmosphere’s had time to even it out,” Adams said. While measurements taken on the morning of Tuesday, Aug. 14, at monitoring stations in Brocklehurst and the downtown core showed a high amount of very fine particulate in the city’s air, Adams said no air-quality advisory was issued because, as expected, changes in the weather push out the worst of the particulate matter on Tuesday, Aug. 14. However, the return of high temperatures this weekend could also herald the return of the haze.

healthy landscapes, healthy living

Xeriscaping in Kamloops Xeriscape means “water conservation through creative landscaping”. Landscapes suited to our semi-arid climate conserve water and have an advantage over pest problems. Apply these principles to any garden style and have a healthy, high quality landscape: 1. Planning and design: Group plants according to their water use. Slope hard surfaces to drain to planted areas. Avoid steep slopes – create terraces instead. Use groundcovers on gentle slopes. 2. Good soils: Organic matter is an excellent soil amendment. It improves moisture holding capacity in sandy soils and helps to loosen clay soils. 3. Appropriate plant selection: Drought tolerant plants thrive here. There are many beautiful trees, shrubs and flowers with low water needs. 4. Practical turf areas: Replace unused lawns with other plants. Use hardsurfacing for play courts, patios, and walkways. 5. Water wisely: Water deeply, but infrequently to encourage deep rooting and drought-tolerance. 6. Mulch: Apply a layer of organic matter to: protect roots from elements, enrich soil, and control weeds. 7. Proper maintenance: Your landscape will require less maintenance over time.

RCMP boss must be seen to be enacting real change

F I WAS BOB PAULSON right now, I think I’d be looking for some serious public-relations assistance. Because, other than a whole lot of public pronouncements about how he’s going to clean up the RCMP he has been leading since last year, Paulson hasn’t really done much to change a lot of minds about the folks in red serge. Not that he’s got an easy job. If there was ever an organization on the precipice of implosion, it’s the RCMP. Maybe I’m just impatient — OK, likely I am impatient — but, when the guy in charge of the federal police force says things are really bad and need a major shake-up, it might help to hear something that indicates that shake-up will happen eventually. Granted, things move slowly. For reasons that escape me, the federal government has to enact legislation to change the way the RCMP handles internal disciplinary matters. And, since a lot of the bad press has come from truly bad behaviour by officers, I guess it’s fair to give Paulson a bit of a pass on that one — although, given the Stephen Harper government’s tough-on-crime mantra, one might think they’d do something to help those who are supposed to be getting tough on crime. Paulson has presented a draft policy requiring that supervisors and their subordinates who have started intimate relationships must report them immediately. I’m surprised they didn’t have one in the first place.

DALE BASS Street

LEVEL Good business practices would have required it, one might think. A decision with an impact on Kamloops came when Paulson stopped payment for the defence lawyers representing three RCMP officers accused of watching two female inmates have sex in the city’s jail cell. The decision flies in the face of pervious situations where the RCMP has paid the legal bills — but we have no idea why he made the decision because he hasn’t explained it. Hence the need for some PR help, I think. If ever a moment cried out for him to speak up, it came just a few weeks ago when the officer in charge of recruiting in B.C., Supt. Maria Nickel, said, in response to the ongoing nightmare of female officers suing for harassment, that they need to rely on their “inner strength” to cope with the inevitable harassment. In other words, suck it up, baby, you really haven’t come a long way. Yup, that would have been a great time for Paulson to call Nickel up and tell her she’s a throwback and needs to stop rationalizing truly bad business behaviour, and then to go public and

tell all of us that Nickel’s statement does not reflect the RCMP he wants to create. In 2012, there are still women in positions of power who think it’s OK for boys to be boys — nudge, nudge wink, wink. Pathetic. As much as I feel for those women who are taking the RCMP to court, I also empathize with the average Mountie who gets up every day, dons his uniform and goes to work knowing many members of the public he encounters see him and think of Monte Robinson, the ex-Mountie in charge of the Robert Dziekanski mess at Vancouver International Airport, among some other PR crises that included his name in the press reports. And, that’s not fair. There are really good Mounties out there, more of them than of the really bad ones and they’re all getting tarred with the muddy brush because Paulson, for all his pronouncements, isn’t doing enough publicly to restore our faith in the RCMP. Whoever is counselling Paulson needs to tell him that, in order to effect broad change, one must be seen to be enacting broad change. One must use all the words possible to look like something’s being done. It’s not enough to have it happening in the backrooms. The RCMP is not much more than a headline waiting to happen — and it can only be countered by a commissioner who understands we have to believe what he says‚ if he’d just say it.

Alberta Premier Alison Redford doesn’t seem to understand what the fuss is about. She has been feuding with B.C. Premier Christy Clark over the Northern Gateway pipeline, ever since Clark suggested B.C. does not get enough benefits from a pipeline that would be operated by a company with a spotty safety record in recent years. In addition, the pipeline would traverse many environmentally sensitive areas and would supply tankers that would travel along B.C.’s northern coast — which means additional risks to B.C. Redford was in Vancouver this week and reiterated that she doesn’t plan to share any of Alberta’s oil wealth with B.C. She added there needs to be a national energy strategy — something that seems a bit odd coming from Alberta, given its white-hot hatred of the National Energy Program 30 years ago. Redford’s position on sharing energy royalties isn’t unreasonable. B.C. doesn’t share resource revenues with Alberta or any other province. But ,Redford doesn’t seem to fully comprehend that B.C. is taking the major portion of the risk this pipeline will bring, with little to show for it. Yes, it would be good to have additional markets for oil. At the same time, Canadians (including Albertans) need to ask what value there is, in the long term, in shipping vast quantities of raw materials overseas. It’s the same question many Vancouver Islanders ask about the continued shipment of raw logs to China. The export of logs creates a few jobs, but most of the added value from the product is gained in China — not in B.C. This doesn’t seem like a good way to boost the B.C. economy. Redford and her fellow oil barons need to understand a few facts about B.C. First and foremost, almost all First Nations along the proposed route oppose this pipeline. They have sufficient legal rights to tie up this project indefinitely in court, if not stop it entirely. Second, B.C. residents do not oppose exports. Ports provide many good jobs here. But they, like most Canadians, also value the environment. B.C.’s environment is a major attraction to many of us, and a big oil spill would be completely unacceptable. Redford needs to be just a little less hard-nosed and more understanding of her neighbours.

A selection of comments on KTW stories, culled online

Re: Trial begins less than year after cop stabbed, inmate blinded: “Thank you, KTW, for being the only paper in the country with the guts to follow Dana’s story.” — posted by Michayne PeeveyLovell “She will never be forgotten. “It took me a while to figure out why she looked so familiar to me, as did her first name, but not her last. “She was a great person.” — posted by Kate Mackinnon

Re: An independent life: “Connie Meyers was well known and loved throughout the Kamloops region. “I miss the stories that he would tell me of his youth on the farm and in the construction industry. “There was no end to the tales he could recount as he had an amazing memory. “We all at the back shop and the volunteers on the train miss him dearly. “Connie, you will always be remembered.” — posted by Arthur Styles

Higher taxes have coincided with more city staff Editor: Re: (‘City sees nothing wrong with size of staff,” Aug. 9): Apparently, the City of Kamloops sees nothing wrong with having more than 650 employees, even though this is almost 10 per cent more staff than other communities of similar sizes. A current city advertisement to hire a engineering technician notes the city

has more than 700 employees, so I am not sure which number is correct. Maybe our city council needs a dose of reality. While most other levels of government (federal and provincial) have had to tighten their belts to make ends meet, Kamloops has seen an increase of more than 250 employees in the last six years (assuming I have my

numbers correct). This is equivalent to an almost 50 per cent increase in employees. Has the city population grown by this amount over this period of time? Definitely not. No wonder our taxes are going up. P. Hinds Kamloops

A reverse question on proposed mine Editor: Re: The Aug. 2 edition of KTW, featuring letters on the proposed KGHM Ajax copper and gold mine south of Aberdeen (‘Ajax on our mind’): I should certainly hope so! We are not talking about a weekend carnival here, nor the imaginary view from an uncertain Kamloops 25 years from now. We are talking about instant disruption of life as we now

know it — starting the moment Ajax might be given an OK. For even more serious concerns, check out Erin Brockovich on the Internet for her take on cadmium, asbestos and arsenic. It is all very well to make silly jokes about the fish and birds having to move over a few feet; our concern is for human beings — who can’t move over — trying to think, breathe, learn, concentrate and live life.

Once the fox takes over the henhouse, our baby chicks are endangered, not to mention the rest of us old hens and roosters. The town of Logan Lake makes an excellent mining statement. Once the Highland Valley Copper mine had found its home, its bedroom community was established — 16 kilometres away. It’s a good parameter for Ajax. Might Kamloops become the hub of

mining for B.C.? Why not? Mining is an honourable business that requires wise leadership. It seems to me Kamloops leaders need to be guided by only one reverse question: If the Ajax mine was already here, how far away from its operations would we build our city? Colleen Carbol Kamloops

That would be nice, but I think not. I think the mayor, city council and citizens of Kamloops should be alarmed that KGHM Ajax is just moving in with, no doubt, the view to taking over. Help! Is this what we want for our fair city? Last week, I heard on the CBC an advisory of poor air quality in Kamloops.

Editor: I am so impressed by the improvement in the quality of published obituaries in Kamloops This Week. Thank you for your efforts. Now, if you would just stop publishing colour photos of any war, I’d be a happy camper! Dolly Bach Kamloops

Can we imagine how the air would be compromised, including all the other environment changes, because of a mine within the city limits? What does it take to stop KGHM Ajax from moving into Kamloops before it is too late — or is it too late already? Johanna Walters Kamloops

COVER PAGE STORY

Fires increase, reason unclear By Andrea Klassen STAFF REPORTER andrea@kamloopsthisweek.com

There’s no set pattern and no obvious cause, but Kamloops is catching fire far more often than it did in 2011. So far this year, Kamloops Fire Rescue has responded to 10 more structure fires than it did in the first six months of 2011, Chief Neill Moroz told KTW. Moroz said the department has responded to 300 structure fires, 46 of which were significant — causing enough damage to require reporting. That’s compared to 67 significant structure fires overall in 2011. “Ten more halfway through the year is a significant number of us. “We don’t like that number,” Moroz said, noting it’s not clear why the numbers are suddenly on a rise. According to KFR’s year-end reports, the number of significant

Significant fires in all of 2011: 67: structure 78: vehicle 56: wildland/ interface 33: garbage/ recycling 12: chimney 108: other structure fires has been dropping during the past few years, with 90 reported in 2009 and 84 cited in 2010. While the fire depart-

Smoke alarms are crucial to saving lives In March, B.C. Attorney General Shirley Bond and Len Garis, president of the Fire Chiefs’ Association of B.C., launched a smokealarm campaign intended to ensure every home in B.C. has a working smoke alarm. The campaign is part of a broad initiative to reduce fire-related deaths and injuries. Research done by Surrey Fire Services, in partnership with the University of the Fraser Valley, shows almost 70 per cent of houses that caught fire did not have a functioning smoke alarm. The research predicts working smoke alarms could reduce annual fire deaths by as much as 32 per cent. The research findings also indicate the province’s most vulnerable populations — such as children and the elderly — face the highest risk of dying in a residential fire.

ment is still dealing with a rash of arsons on the North Shore and in the downtown core, Moroz said those fires — about 75 during the past year and mostly focused on garbage cans, recycling bins and backyard sheds — are a separate issue. The structure fires aren’t suspicious, have started for a variety of reasons and are not limited to any particular area of the city. “We have no idea on the structure fires,” Moroz said. “Other than those fires downtown and on the North Shore, where we know we have someone lighting those fires, there’s no set pattern to the structure fires.” Building are not the only place the department is seeing an increase. Moroz said vehicle fires to date are about double last year’s numbers, while wildland fires have tripled. KFR is not sure what

to make of the increase in vehicle fires, but Moroz said hotter, drier weather and people tossing cigarettes into grasslands both play a role in the increase in wildland blazes. Within city limits, nearly all wildland fires are human-caused, he said, often because someone tossed a cigarette butt from a moving vehicle. “It just floors me that with all that’s going on and how dry it is out there, that people continue to do that,” Moroz said. “I don’t understand that one, when it’s such a preventable thing.” Moroz said the department has already stepped up its fireprevention efforts to try to combat the rising numbers. He is also reminding people to keep their smoke alarms in good working order to ensure a fire is detected as soon as possible.

“That gives us that fighting chance to save their property,” he said.

REGIONAL NEWS

Common grave for Merritt’s forgotten dead Burial of remains of 54 Merritonians agreed to by city council in Nicola Valley town By Jade Swartzberg MERRITT HERALD newsroom@merrittherald.com

Merritt city councillors have agreed to allow the burial of nearly 54 Merrittonians’ unclaimed cremated remains in a common grave. The Nicola Valley town’s council has authorized a variance to the bylaw that would allow the remains to be buried in one grave site at the Pineridge Cemetery. Council also agreed to forgive the cost of the plot ($450) and the administration fees associated with the burial. Paul Wright, former owner of the Merritt Funeral Chapel and Schoenings Funeral Home Services in Kamloops, said he was prompted to make the unusual request after his family sold the local business to a large organization. “The new owners are not willing to take responsibility of the unclaimed cremated remains, so it’s our responsibility to deal with them,” Wright said. The funeral home has held the remains — some of them for up to 40 years — waiting for a family member to claim them. The Schoening family inherited most of the remains from the previous owner when it

purchased the business in 1988. Wright said it is not common for cremated remains to sit unclaimed, but added it happens more often than people might think. “In 1995, we buried close to 300 unclaimed remains in a common grave in Kamloops,” he said. “Frankly, I can’t believe it myself.” Under the agreement with the City of Merritt, Wright will pay for the opening and closing costs of the grave and provide a liner and a list of names in the order the remains are placed in the box, a cost of about $2,000. Technically, though, Wright doesn’t have to incur the cost of burial. The B.C. Cremation, Internment and Funeral Services legislation specifies a funeral provider may dispose of unclaimed cremated

remains as long as the remains are unclaimed for at least a year and the operator has provided sufficient notice. The Merritt Funeral Chapel advertised twice in the Herald and waited 30 days before proceeding. However, Wright said, he preferred to deal with the remains respectfully. “We could scatter them or get rid of them, but we’ve chosen to bury them at our expense,” he said. “We’re going to have a minister there who will deliver a committal service, so we’ll do it very respectfully,” Wright said prior to this week’s ceremony. None of the councillors opposed the motion to authorize the onetime variance, although Coun. Dave Baker questioned whether it would set a precedent. “This is a highly

unusual circumstance — it’s a once in 40-year deal,” said city CAO Matt Noble, noting the City of Kamloops had set a precedent for allowing common burials in similar circumstances. Mayor Susan Roline said it would have been a shame for locals to be buried outside of Merritt. “I know a lot of the people on the list from growing up and from my years in the bank,” she said. “In many cases, they were the only ones left in their family. “Now, if someone comes looking for them, they’ll be able to find them.” The remains were initially scheduled to be buried at Hillside Cemetery in Kamloops on Wednesday, Aug. 15. Instead, they were buried in Merritt’s Pineridge Cemetery on

the same day at 2 p.m. If next of kin were to come to reclaim an

individuals’ remains, the city would recover the remains for a fee

Pellet-gun shooting downtown He was shot in the chin with a pellet gun and an 18-year-old male may face charges — but, as of Tuesday morning (Aug. 14), the 19-year-old victim continued to tell Mounties he had no idea who shot him, or why. Kamloops RCMP Const. Bernie Ward said a passerby called police at 8:45 p.m. on Monday, Aug. 13, after coming across a man in the 500-block of

POLICE BEAT Columbia Street who had a wound in his throat area. Mounties responded and found the victim, who was taken to Royal Inland Hospital, where the pellet was removed. The injuries he suffered were not lifethreatening.

When spoken to by officers, Ward said, the victim was unable to give any sensible details of what had happened to him. Further investigation resulted in a weapon being seized and police recommending charges be laid against an 18-year-old Kamloops man. Ward said the general public is not at risk as the shooting was not a random event.

Missing teen found and is safe A 16-year-old Kamloops boy being sough by police has been found — safe and sound.

Dylan Lawrence Ginther hadn’t been seen since July 28, but Kamloops Mounties say he has now been gound and left his downtown home voluntarily.

COVER PAGE STORY

‘Serial killers’ a threat Lindsay claims he was targeted by menacing group X From A1

gas station in Barriere. Court had heard previously the weapon was a carpet knife, but Lindsay maintained that was not the case. SM jumped out of the window of the truck and Lindsay took the vehicle and headed south toward Kamloops. He was arrested by Kamloops RCMP near McLure. Lindsay said he was attempting at the time to turn around and drive to Edmonton. Lindsay also admitted to stabbing his KRCC cellmate, Michel Fougere, during a game of Scrabble about a month after his arrest. According to Lindsay, Fougere’s father was part of the group of serial killers and had at one time lived in an apartment beneath him in Edmonton. “I started feeling a really strong feeling of panic — like impending doom,” Lindsay said. “He looked at me and said, ‘I put a spell on you.’ “While we were playing Scrabble he was saying things like, ‘I’m going to kill you, I’m going to kill a lot of people, I’m going to kill the world.’

But, before long, Lindsay said he started to believe SM was part of the group of serial killers. Lindsay said his first warning came the day he met SM, when the two were in the lobby of a downtown Edmonton hotel. “When we were checking in, he said, through a psychic conversation, ‘If you’re not a killer, we’re going to kill you,’” Lindsay said. But, court heard, he tried to “keep a relationship” with SM and his associates in the hopes that they would become friends and his life would be spared. So, as the two drove from Edmonton to Kamloops on Sept. 21, 2011 — ostensibly as part of a “job” — Lindsay attacked SM. “The closer we got to Kamloops, the more dark and kind of foreboding he seemed,” Lindsay said, describing the situation as “fight or flee.” “I was certain that he wanted to kill me. It just got to the point where I couldn’t take it anymore.” Lindsay said he took a pen he had in his pocket and stabbed SM as the two men pulled away from a

“It was like, if I didn’t attack him he was going to kill me.” Lindsay said he never wanted to hurt anybody — let alone murder his ex-girlfriend and stab two others. “The only reason I would attack somebody in violence is if my life was threatened,” he said. “And, on all three occasions, I felt my life was threatened.” Under cross-examination, Crown prosecutor Will Burrows asked Lindsay if he was insane. “Absolutely not,” Lindsay replied. “I know for a fact everything was existing. “I understand that my actions might not have been the best actions, but at the time I was just — I was scared.” Crown prosecutor Will Burrows has applied for a psychiatric evaluation of Lindsay. B.C. Supreme Court Justice Dev Dley will decide today (Aug. 16) on the request. Next week, Lindsay is slated to stand trial on the KRCC stabbing charge. In January, Lindsay’s preliminary inquiry on one count of second-degree murder is expected to begin in Alberta.

Loneliness can be productive

OTHER TERESA once wrote: “Loneliness and the feeling of being unwanted is the most terrible poverty” — yet it is one of the most commonly shared attributes of successful writers, scientists, entertainers, inventers and business tycoons. It would seem loneliness may be a bit of creative fuel. Do you remember the 1998 movie Patch Adams, starring Robin Williams? Based on a true story, it tells how Hunter “Patch” Adams, who suffered from depression, was hospitalized in a mental institution in the 1960s. While in hospital, he became acutely aware of two important observations: Doctors were trained to treat diseases, rather than people, and the best treatment for most conditions included laughter and relationships. Adams left the institution and entered medical school at the University of Virginia in 1969 — or, as he would refer to it: “Out of one institution for the mentally ill and into another one that is the factory for mental illness.” Back in the 1970s, Adams worked in a free clinic and saw firsthand how ill-equipped many doctors were at being actual healers. He noticed many were detached, clinical and made little or no meaningful contact with their patients. Adams started a clinic he dubbed the Gesundheit Institute to Provide Personal and Compassionate Care for All. Humour and relationships were the cornerstones of medical treatment there. Patch believed antidepressants are, in his words, “anti-loneliness pills — and there is no suffering on earth that rivals the pain of loneliness and its slow erosion of the soul.” He came to believe loneliness, while surrounded by people, was

A19

SALE UP TO

the worst pain of all. As one person described it: “He found that quality of life improved when people were medicated with love and laughter.” The need for closeness and love has long been identified as one of the four critical human-psychological needs to support life. As Adams said: “People crave love as if it was an essential amino acid.” Science and research has shown this statement to be true. If you suffer from loneliness, there is a good chance you will not find healing in a medical system that is over-taxed and designed to treat patients in vol-

ume, rather than with compassion. This exists through no fault of the many physicians who care deeply about their patients and the suffering they see. The only way to defeat loneliness is to find ways to interact with and grow closer to people. This seems easy, but is more difficult than it seems and difficult for people with social anxiety. Remember, it is possible — and you are not as alone as you think. The first step is always the same: After admitting you are lonely, be determined to do something about it, because only you can.

It is amazing how many successful and competent people who appear to have it all suffer from loneliness. Famous examples include Johnny Carson, Lily Tomlin, Amelia Earhart, Ernest Hemingway and even Albert Einstein, who commented: “It is strange to be known so universally and yet to be so lonely.” If you have something to say about loneliness — or anything else related to mental health — email us at kamloops@cmha. bc.ca, because your views are important to us and shape the subject matter of future columns.

Northern Trailer will be busy building for Alberta A Kamloops company’s workforce is expected to increase by more than 100 employees in the coming months to make good on a large contract from an Alberta oilsands company. Northern Trailer will construct 750 dormitory units for a work camp in Fort McMurray — a contract worth $140 million. Work will begin at Northern Trailer’s Kamloops location later this year, with completion slated for 2014. Northern Trailer has 450 employees in Kamloops. But, according to parent company Horizon North Logistics, that number will increase by 25 per cent while the dorm units are under construction.

Kamloops Airport stays busy Kamloops Airport continues to be a busy place, with 22,427 travellers passing through it in July. That number is up 5.5 per cent from the same month last year, which saw 21,254 people use the airport. It’s also fairly consistent with the yearto-date figures, which show 159,161 people travelling to or from Fulton Field, up 4.8 per cent from the same period in 2011. Airport managing director Fred Legace attributed the July bump to travellers taking advantage of convenient routes and destinations offered from the airport.

Celebration of Life for SARAH MARY LITTLE

One night a man had a dream. He dreamed he was walking along the beach with the Lord. Across the sky ﬂashed scenes from his life. For each scene, he noticed two set of footprints in the sand: one belonging to him, and the other to the Lord. When the last scene of his life ﬂashed before him, he looked back at the footprints in the sand. He noticed that many times along the path of his life there was only one set of footprints. He also noticed that it happened at the very lowest and saddest times in his life. This really bothered him and he questioned the Lord about it. “Lord, you said that once I decided to followed you, you’d walk with me all the way. But I have noticed that during the most troublesome times of life, there is only one set of footprints. I don’t understand why, when I needed you most, you would leave me.” The Lord replied, “My precious, precious child, I love you and I would never leave you. During your times of trial and suffering, when you saw only one set of footprints, it was then that I carried you.”

Margaret Fishback Powers

May tender memories soften your grief, May fond recollection bring you relief, And may you ﬁnd comfort and peace in the thought Of the joy that knowing your loved one brought For time and space can never divide Or keep your loved one from your side When memory paints In colors true The happy hours that Belonged to you.

Soccer tournament raises race issues

Phil and Grace Hiom are in the process of turning their love for the outdoors into full-time work.

By Marty Hastings STAFF REPORTER

sports@kamloopsthisweek.com

HIL AND GRACE HIOM get their feet dirty for a

living. The couple has been growing their business — the North Face Dirty Feet Trail Series — since arriving in Kamloops two-and-ahalf years ago. “We’re building exactly what we wanted — a big community of like-minded people who enjoy running, biking and snowshoeing through the winter,” Phil said. “We’ve now got it up to 12 events for this

year and we plan on adding a few more next year.” The series features races across the Okanagan, including Penticton, Kelowna, Vernon and Kamloops. Next up on the series is the Mountain Run at Sun Peaks Resort on Saturday, Sept. 8. The Hioms — who have worked in outdoor retail for more than a decade — are still in the process of making Dirty Feet a “full-time thing,” Phil said. When the couple moved to the River City from Cow Town, they wanted to start their own business, but discovered Kamloops had

plenty in the way of outdoor retail. “There wasn’t a lot of local racing offroad throughout the Okanagan,” Phil said. “We race on dirt all the time and we decided, if there’s not a lot of it going on, we should start up and see if we can get people out here having fun in the dirt. “The response has been great and there’s been so many people coming out.” The best place to learn more about Dirty Feet is online at dirtyfeet.ca. Phil can be reached at phil@dirt4life.com, Grace at grace@dirt4life.com.

Mountain Run The Dirty Feet Trail Series will feature a five-kilometre fun run and a 16-kilometre course for the more experienced. Runners who choose the five-kilometre race will traverse crosscountry trails and paved paths in the city. “You’re still getting to know what trail running is all about, but you’re not having to run up a mountain,” Phil said. The 16-kilometre race will follow the

same five-kilometre course, used as a warmup of sorts, before heading up the mountain. There will be 45 switchbacks (hair-pin turns) on the course, which will take runners to mid-mountain. It costs $30 to enter the five-kilometre, which starts at 10:45 a.m., and $40 to enter the 16-kilometre, which gets underway at 10 a.m. Register online at dirtyfeet.ca. The next Dirty Feet race in Kamloops — with five-, 10- and 21-kilometre options — is slated for Sept. 23 at Kenna Cartwright Park.

“We absolutely love what racing is and the community it brings together,” Phil said.

A race-related sports issue in Surrey has made its way to Kamloops, where the Indo-Canadian Soccer Tournament (ICST) will be held this weekend. Nationwide attention has been given to a youth boys’ soccer team — the under13 B.C. Tigers of the United Summer Soccer Association (USSA) — banned from official tournament play because it had too many “import players,” which, in practice, means too many non-Indo-Canadian players. Rules written by the Indo-Canadian Soccer Association, the USSA’s governing body, state teams in the under-13 division are allowed a maximum of four import players. The Tigers had seven and, when an opposition coach filed a protest, the club was ruled ineligible for a recent tournament final. Debbie Christiansen, whose son is a Tiger, told several media outlets the rule is discriminatory. “Our whole team, even our Indo-Canadian players and their parents, were flabbergasted,” Christiansen told the National Post. “What sort of mes-

sage does this send to our kids? Not a very good one, I don’t think. What about tolerance and respect?” The tournament this weekend in Kamloops enforces a similar rule, according to organizer Onkar Gill. Each team is allowed three import players, referred to as guest players. Never once has the tournament had issues with discrimination or racism, Gill said, noting guest players “love playing in the tournament.” There is nothing illegal about the import or guest-player rules. According to the B.C. Human Rights Code, a non-profit social organization can give “preference to members of [an] identifiable group or class of persons” if that organization “has as a primary purpose the promotion of the interests and welfare of an identifiable group or class of persons characterized by a physical or mental disability or by a common race, religion, age, sex, marital status, political belief, colour, ancestry or place of origin.” Import rules are not exclusive to IndoCanadian leagues and tournaments.

There are Christian soccer leagues, for example, that only allow a certain number of nonchurch-attending players on their squads. While it might not be illegal, some experts say that doesn’t make it right. David Eby, executive director of the B.C. Civil Rights Association, questioned

the USSA’s rules. “There’s clearly a discrimination happening here based on race,” Eby told The Province. “Is that the thing we want to promote in Canada?” He suggested the Code be reviewed. “It’s hard for me to imagine any justification for this,” Eby told the Post, noting the Code must be changed “because of this failure

to link a legal justification to the discriminatory practice itself.” The ICST will be played on McArthur Island’s soccer fields, owned and operated by the City of Kamloops. Jeff Putnam, the city’s sport development and business operations manager, is familiar with the guest-player rule. “Here in the Tournament Capital, we’re as inclusive as you

can be as a municipality,” Putnam told KTW. “What we don’t do is we don’t micromanage tournament organizers and how they want to run their tournaments. “[The guest-player rule] has been a part of the tournament for a long time. “Our focus is on making sure they have the best facilities possible and that’s why they keep coming back.”

Major changes The B.C. Major Midget League (BCMML) is creating two more playoff

spots for the 20122013 season. “The addition of two playoff spots will create a much more focused attention to the development of players and less on winning,” said Randy Henderson, BCMML chairman. “The league’s mandate is to develop all players to play at a higher level of hockey.” Eight teams will make the playoffs next season, as opposed to six last season.

THIS WEEK

In years past, among those taking part in the annual salsa competition held at Gargdengate Training Centre were Geordie Macleod (far left), public relations and marketing with Training for Health and Employment Opportunities (THEO), the precursor of Open Door, which operates the centre now, who sampled one of the dishes in 2005. Past winners of the popular vote, with their the South Hills Sunsational Salsa, were Joyce Wiebe and Rodney Jackson (left) who then served up their successful creation in 2010. KTW file photos

Learning — spiced up Gardengate Training Centre hosts its annual salsa competition today — but the facility does so much more By Dale Bass STAFF REPORTER dale@kamloopsthisweek.com

Head on over to Southill Street around lunchtime today and you’ll have the opportunity

to sample some spicy salsa. It’s part of Gardengate Training Centre’s annual competition, in which teams will take fresh produce and whip up their own batches of the Mexican

dish, all vying for titles including People’s Choice, Chef’s Choice and Team Spirit. There will be entertainment and games as well, along with a sale of some of the produce that is grown at the facility — and that’s where the true recipe for success for Gardengate can be found. Created in 1999, Gardengate was envisioned as a place where people living with mental-health issues could learn to garden on the 2.8 acres, produce food, gain confidence and learn some practical vocational skills. Supplementing the program In 2008, Frank Khadikin (left) and Clara Irvin served up their Kitchen Sink Salsa with Marilyn Olson. The annual competition is being held today (Aug. 16) at Gardengate, 915 Southill St. KTW file photo

A&E co-ordinator: Dale Bass dale@kamloopsthisweek.com Ph: 374-7467 Ext: 220

are horticulture workshops, cooking classes and education in organic-farming practices, canning and preserving. Since its creation, Gardengate has donated 90 tons of organic produce to Kamloops charities. Along the way it’s provided education to “Oh, wow, a whole lot of people,” said its activity co-ordinator, Robert Wright. It’s a year-round program, taking advantage of its greenhouse in the winter mlonths to start preparing seeds to take root again when warm weather arrives. People come to Gardengate in many ways, Wright said, from referrals through other social organizations and community mental-health workers to just showing up and asking if they can join.

The salsa competition requires the 13 teams from local groups and agencies to use fresh ingredients. Tomatoes are essential, said event organizer Matthew Klassen, but, after that, it’s up to the cooks to decide if they’re adding more onions, some jalapeno peppers or some other fresh food. The judge will come from Fiesta Mexicana Restaurant on Notre Dame Drive. Entertainment will be provided by local musician Dave Fields and staff from Kamloops Hot Yoga will hold a couple of classes. And, in addition to the salsa, there will be baking — in particular pies made from fruits in Gardengate’s orchard, Klassen said.

BBB says be prepared Le français before you purchase au CSF, School is just around the corner and students are rushing to take advantage of back-to-school deals on everything from computers to clothing. The Better Business Bureau (BBB) has some back-to-school basics to keep in mind. “Whether shopping for new clothes, pens and pencils or electronic items, it’s important to be prepared and have a plan,” said Danielle Primrose, president and CEO for the BBB serving Mainland British Columbia. “It will keep you on budget, save you money and avoid getting stuck with an item you don’t want.” The 2012 Huntington Backpack Index estimates back-to-school costs for students in kindergarten through high school are expected to increase by as much as six per cent this year. A child in elementary school could cost a parent up to $548 in shopping costs. Consumers need to sharpen their own pencils and take out their calculators to factor in whether they are getting a good deal. The BBB has these tips to help you be a savvy backto-school shopper: • Plan ahead — Set a realistic budget and stick to it. First, check what you have from last year’s supplies, which could be reused, then make a list of the items you need to purchase to avoid buying on impulse. Be sure to check with your child’s school for a list of required to avoid return trips. • Ask about returns and refunds — Shopping

for new clothes, accessories, and electronics is one of the highlights of going back to school. Ask the store about their return policy and always keep receipts. In B.C., stores are not legally required to exchange an item or give a refund. Ask about restocking fees as some merchants charge a restocking or openbox fee — sometimes as high as 20 per cent of the original cost — for returns of electronics products or large-ticket items. Ask if that is the policy so you know before you buy. • Shop smart online — Find out the physical location and phone number of the merchant. Read the refund and return policy, have in writing any warranty or guarantee details, be familiar with delivery/shipping costs and time schedules, feel comfortable the merchant is reliable and not the subject of consumer complaints

Sabrina future Minister of the Environment

and be able to trust that any information you submit to complete the sale transaction (such as credit-card number) will be treated with the proper care. • Know the true cost of what you are purchasing — You might be moving out for the first time and buying new furniture. If you are buying an item on credit, make sure you are aware of not only the interest rate being charged, but any additional fees and costs associated with purchasing on credit, including late-payment charges. If you engage in crossborder shopping, factor in the cost of gas, duty taxes and any other additional costs associated with getting your goods back home. • Go online and do some comparison shopping — There are now smartphone applications that help you to do price checking for a variety of products. Lastly, check out a company’s rating with the BBB online at mbc.bbb.org.

Back-to-school spending tips from Valley First Here is some insight from employees of the Thompson/Okanagan credit union

ITH THE SUN STILL high and hot, many families are more focused on leisure time than lessons. But, as summer holidays near an end, thoughts will soon turn to school and the expenses that go with it. According to Ernst & Young, back-to-school spending will increase by 2.5 per cent this year. And, with the average family forking out about $500 on clothing, school supplies, electronics and shoes last year, costs can quickly add up. As one of the Interior’s oldest and most wellknown credit unions, Valley First is well positioned to provide advice on saving. Here, some Valley First employees who have experience as financial experts and parents share how they manage back-toschool spending:

“I never wait until the week before school to shop,” she says. “If I know my daughter needs something, I will buy it when I see it on sale. “Also, last year, I bought some supplies in bulk. “This year, my bill will be about a quarter of what it has been in the past.”

Re-use and recycle Jason, a father of two school-aged children, says a terrific way to beat the bills is to re-use and recycle. “If our oldest doesn’t need something any more, whether it’s a school supply or clothing — and in good condition — we’ll re-use it with our younger child,” says Jason. “We also borrow from and loan to friends and family. “There are times when we only need something for a short period, so it makes little sense to buy new.”

Only pay for what you need With her own children many years out of school, Muriel often helps with the back-to-school expenses of her granddaughters. While she says “it costs a lot,” those costs can be pared down by only buying what is needed. “The school has a set list of what each child needs and they charge accordingly,” says Muriel.

Border hop when you shop

“We can also see the supply list online and at some of the bigger retailers. “This means we are only buying what our granddaughters really need.”

Don’t wait until the last minute For Kelly Rae, a mother of one, back-to-school shopping is an annual exercise.

With the Canadian dollar hovering near par and recent changes to dutyfree shopping, Carole — a mother of one — says cross-border shopping is a good option. “Shopping in the U.S. is not just about milk and cheese,” she says. “When we cross the line, we always check out

The ABCs of stepping back into the classroom After a long, hot summer, it can be tough to get kids back into a routine and focused on homework. However, homework is a key part of your child’s education and it’s important they not only complete it, but also understand what they’ve learned. Studies show that children’s achievements in school improve with increased parent involvement in education. So, get involved in your kids’ schoolwork — you might even learn something new! ABC Life Literacy Canada offers 10 tips on how to make homework part of your daily routine: 1) Develop a daily routine by setting aside a specific time each day/evening for homework. 2) Provide a quiet, well-lit place with basic school supplies. 3) Understand your child’s style of learning as this will help you develop a personalized homework plan for your child. 4) It’s not uncommon for kids to get overwhelmed with big assignments or projects. Help them break the project down into smaller steps. Work on pieces throughout the week and do the hard parts on the weekend. 5) Talk with your child’s teacher and be aware of their method of teaching. Help your

child by using familiar terms and examples. 6) Don’t reserve learning to homework hour. Make learning a part of daily life. 7) If your child gets frustrated or distracted with their homework, allow them to take a short break. If this frustration continues, talk with your child’s teacher to determine if a tutor might be needed. 8) To reinforce comprehension and memory skills, take 10 minutes to talk about the stories you’ve read together. 9) Show your child that the skills they are learning relate to real life. If your child is learning math, for example, balance your cheque book or have them count out change for you. 10) Teach your child to be independent. Offer to help them with difficult homework challenges, but then let them complete the remainder on their own. For other family literacy tips and activities, go online to FamilyLiteracyDay.ca.

EFORE NOVA SCOTIA CAN BE SEEN BENEATH THE BELLY OF OUR PLANE, CLOUDS REACH ACROSS THE PROVINCE LIKE A SWATH OF GIFT WRAP. Instead of from the air, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll see the province when, corner by corner, we get on the ground and begin to peel back the tape. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 10 p.m. by the time we pick up our rental car and, having crossed four time zones by travelling west to east, while our appetites suggest itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s suppertime, Halifax is closing down, door by door, with the exception of several downtown pubs, from which the sounds of revelry bubble like froth on a good pint of ale. The Toothy Moose and Foggy Goggle are there to set the scene, letting us know weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re no longer in Kansas. With literal fog stitched down to sidewalk level, we walk through warm mist that lays over our skin like a veil.

Eighteen years after our wedding and last real vacation, this mist feels like a baptism, a moment which seems to call for quiet. We walk back to our hotel and dial for pizza. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a mistake â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and

entirely ours. When the pizza and garlic sticks arrive, tasting of the cardboard delivery box â&#x20AC;&#x201D; with dip that is not dip but actually vanilla frosting â&#x20AC;&#x201D; we know weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve missed our first oppor-

tunity to acquaint ourselves with a Halifax experience. And, with a sandwich from Torontoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s airport still sitting like stale sea sponges in our stomachs, we call an end to Day Zero and

fall into bed to wait for morning and a view of the harbour. In the morning, the harbour does not disappoint. Seen from a wrap of windows, there are sailboats and cargo ships.

Together with tour crafts and military vessels, all skim the water where, once, the most forceful explosion the world had ever seen nearly swept the city into the sea. This is our first-ever

sighting of Canadaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Eastern seaboard and, for Chefhusband and I, Prairie kids with fathoms-deep ocean yearnings, we are smitten at first sight. X See MARITIME B14

out of the car, breathe in deep lungfuls of salt air fresh as cucumbers and there encounter our first lighthouse. Standing in its shadow, I stop to suppose I’m hardly the first writer-type who ever wanted to be a lighthouse keeper. Easily romanticized and with the promise of much solitude, writing and late-night lightkeeping seem a natural pairing. And, so, it happens that, before lunch, but after buying a grouper-skin change purse from Wharf Hags, an artisan co-op surrounded by fishing shanties and lobster pots, I focus my lens, find my inner lighthouse keeper and take her picture.

The parking area at the trailhead has also been cleaned of broken glass and nails. The alliance has worked closely with BC Parks, which provided some core funding for tools. The trail starts at a parking area on the north side of Frederick Road in the Dewdrop Range and climbs to the top of Red Plateau. The trailwork completed this week covers the first part of the established trail. The alliance plans to upgrade more trails in the future.

TRAVEL

Lure of Lomi lomi — and other things Hawaiian By Karoline Cullen SPECIAL TO KTW travelwriterstales.com

EELING AS THOUGH I AM IN THE MOVIES, I BRACE THE GUN MORE FIRMLY ON MY SHOULDER AND YELL “PULL!” A small sporting clay zips in an arc above the trees. As instructor Frankie directs, I point, wait and fire. Frankie cheers as the disk shatters — and I can hardly believe it has. I would not have bet on me hitting a barn door. I am on the island of Lana’i, a 45-minute ferry ride from Maui. While on both these islands, the aim, pardon the pun, is to seek beyond sand and surf for Hawaiian experiences novel or cultural. Under Frankie’s patient tutelage, this rank beginner hits clays at more than one station on the range. I contemplate my new sharp-shooter status as I swagger back to the Lodge at Keole. Tucked at the end of a driveway lined with stately Norfolk pines, the lodge, with its croquet courts, pagoda, pond and orchid house, resembles an English country manor. There is a sister retreat oceanside only a 20-minute drive away. Passing through the scrubby, red rock

landscape, it is hardly evident the island was once Hawaii’s largest pineapple plantation. Bumpy dirt roads make for great jeep exploring and we detour to untrammeled spots with exotic names like Shipwreck Beach and Garden of the Gods. Stopping at Lana’i City, we browse art galleries, restaurants and shops. Our trip to the coast continues along a winding road edged with pines lined up like an honour guard. At the Four Seasons Manele Bay, perched above the enchanting curve of white sand along Hulopoe Beach, I wander through lush themed gardens. In the oceanside spa tent, the relaxing sound of waves is all I hear, while Amy begins a Hawaiian Lomi lomi massage. It is an ancient technique she learned from teachers on Maui; the name means “to break down the tissues.” With long, flowing strokes of her hands and forearms, she reduces me to a state of contented butteriness. Lomi lomi is not the only Hawaiian I hear this trip. At the Ka’anapali Beach Hotel, Rance starts his cultural garden tour with a low, sonorous chant to the gods. The ancients knew the beneficial effects of plants: Ginger as a natural antibiotic, mamaki for cleansing teas and naupaka leaves to treat jellyfish stings. Pride gleams on Rance’s face as he

shows us the traditional canoe standing in the garden. Built by the employees as a cultural project, it is named for a young child who pointed to a tree in the forest and asked his father to build a canoe from it. The child has since passed away but the canoe bears his name. After a departure chant to the gods and the gift of a traditional kukui nut lei, we meander over 59 one-lane bridges along the winding road to remote Hana on the east coast. The lush green hills contrast a deep blue sky and the black lava coastline. We pass cliffsides covered with ferns, waterfalls pouring down, taro plantings and a black-sand beach. Installed in a spacious Sea Ranch Cottage at the Travaasa Hana Hotel, we watch horses graze ocean side as the sunset paints the sky pink and purple. The view alone is a lush relaxation treatment. Despite myriad wellness and cultural choices, ranging from yoga to lei making to the art of the cocktail, another Lomi lomi massage beckons. Relaxing on a teak lounge in the spa’s garden overlooking the ocean is an ideal preface to my massage. An hour later, I am blissfully “tenderized.” Getting to know this Hawaiian stuff is addictive!

Fasting’s fastidiousness

113th Annual

HE MONTH OF RAMADAN, WHEN Moslems fast from sunrise to sunset, is about to end. In addition to a designated period, fasting is one of the five pillars of faith in the Moslem tradition. In the Bible, fasting is encouraged, though not regularly commanded. There is only one fast commanded under Old Testament law, on the Day of Atonement, or Yom Kippur. The Israelites added other fasts on their own and made them traditional and important. By Jesus’ time, the Pharisees were fasting twice a week. NARAYAN MITRA There are appropriate occasions for Christians You Gotta Have to fast. FAITH In Matt. 6:16, Christ said, “When you fast,” assuming we do. In Acts 13, we read of the leaders of Antioch church ministering to the Lord and fasting. In Acts 14, we find the church fasting when they selected elders. Christian leaders throughout centuries have emphasized the place of fasting for people of God. Bible commentator Mathew Henry said:

WEEKLY CROSSWORD

FAITH

Fasting shows love of the Lord X From B19

“Fasting is a laudable practice and we have reason to lament it, that it is so generally neglected among Christians.” Commenting on the practice, theologian John Wesley said: “Christians who take heed unto their ways and desire to walk humbly and closely with God will find frequent occasions for private seasons of afflicting their souls before their Father which is in secret.” And reformer Martin Luther opined: “It was not Christ’s intention to reject or despise fasting . . . it was His intention to restore proper fasting.” The purpose of fasting is more important than the act itself. It is often said fasting acts as a method of self-discipline. While fasting can help, self-discipline is something we are supposed to do all the time as we keep our bodies under control. On the other hand, fasting is for occasions when we feel a special

need or especially led by the Lord to do so. There should be times when we should call for a fast as a church. God will be gracious to us in dealing with us and in revival of the church. Far from being routinely mechanical, real fasting results through the prompting of the Holy Spirit. Of course, fasting should never be undertaken to obligate God to answer our prayers or to obtain blessing. Fasting is not to be viewed as a part of righteousness produced by works. It demonstrates to the Lord the depth of our love and sincerity in that we are willing to keep seeking Him and keep knocking on His door. narayanmitra@hotmail.com

Antique but unique. Somewhat worse for wear, but has a few good years left Hinges get creaky when left parked too long and often needs a good push to get going. Runs out of gas quickly and needs regular vacations to restore youthfulness. Like most antiques has become less useful but more valuable with age!
