Victim calls sentencing circle ‘appalling’

”

Mountie was almost run down by aboriginal gang member with 60 convictions on his record By Tim Petruk STAFF REPORTER

tim@kamloopsthisweek.com

One of the police officers involved in a dangerous incident last summer during a vehicle pursuit calls a planned aboriginal sentencing circle for the offender “appalling.” Douglas Jensen is slated to take part in a sentencing circle on the Tk’emlups Indian Band reserve on Sept. 20, after being convicted earlier this year of assault with a weapon and assaulting a peace officer. In July 2011, Jensen nearly ran over a Kamloops RCMP constable during a high-speed chase. The 35-year-old Jensen is on the Kamloops RCMP’s prolificoffender list and has 60 convictions on his criminal record.

The Crown has in the past identified Jensen as a member of the Redd Alert, an Alberta-based native street gang with members in Kamloops. Jensen was also banished from Tk’emlups land in 2010 after racking up a string of criminal charges. One of the officers involved in last summer’s incident — who no longer works at the Kamloops detachment and spoke to KTW on the condition of anonymity in fear of being reprimanded for speaking out — said he was not consulted by the Crown at any point in the decision to pursue a sentencing circle for Jensen. “They say that it’s an opportunity to present himself and face his victims but, at the same time, nobody’s asked me any-

thing,” the constable said. “Basically, the officers involved in the file, none of us were consulted.” According to the Tk’emlups Indian Band, one of the main objectives of circle sentencing is to hold the offender accountable to his or her victims and the greater community. The constable said he has been invited to the sentencing circle ceremony, but refuses to attend because he would have to pay his own way to Kamloops. “How is it fair that you’re going to face your accusers, but none of your accusers are going to be there?” he asked. “I’m banging my head against the wall. I’m asking for answers.” RCMP Staff Sgt. Doug Aird, head of the Kamloops

rural detachment, which oversees policing of the Tk’emlups Indiand Band reserve, said he has been told none of the officers involved in last summer’s incident are willing to attend. Aird said he is attempting to set up a meeting with Crown prosecutor Iain Currie, the lawyer handling Jensen’s file, to discuss the sentencing circle from the RCMP’s perspective. KTW unsuccessfully attempted to contact Currie for comment. Kamloops RCMP Supt. Yves Lacasse said he was unable to comment on the sentencing circle. An information meeting regarding the sentencing circle is slated for Wednesday, Sept. 19, between 6 p.m. and 7:30 p.m. at the Tk’emlups Gymnasium.

One-day strike may be followed by more By Andrea Klassen STAFF REPORTER andrea@kamloopsthisweek.com

Liquor stores went dark and the pavement in front of government offices took a pounding on Wednesday, Sept. 5, as about 1,000 members of the B.C. Government Employees Union (BCGEU) and the Professional Employees Association (PEA) took part in a provincewide one-day strike. Doug Kinna, a member of the BCGEU’s provincial executive, said about 900 of the 1,100 union members in the Kamloops area took part in the job action. The rest were deemed essential-services providers. “We don’t want to put anybody at risk with us doing a job action, so all of child protection is in, income assistance, probation, the jail is fully

staffed, the commercial-vehicle safety enforcement and the scale are all operating at 100 per cent,” Kinna told KTW. “We’re trying to focus our action against the government, trying to get their attention.” The union’s contract expired on March 31 and workers have been under provisions of that contract ever since, with wages being the main sticking point in negotiations. While the government has offered a 3.5 per cent pay raise over two years, the union is seeking a 3.5 bump in the first year and a cost of living raise in the second year. Kinna said the union has also put forward two proposals that could result in $300-million in cost-savings and extra revenue for the government, which he said would more

than pay for the wage increase. Both were rejected. “I can’t understand why they don’t pick up that money,” he said. “They don’t have to increase taxes. They don’t have to increase the deficit. It’s just money that’s there and they’ve turned their backs on it.” Walking the picket line at the Northills Liquor Store, Local 505 chairman Karl Wolfe said he doesn’t think the demand is unreasonable. “What I think is the most remarkable is that the public coming in for the last week or two, they understand,” he said. “We haven’t had a wage increase in years. We’ve fallen behind times.” “The general public seems to be on our side,” Kinna added. “We’re getting support. And, I think they

understand we’re not trying to inconvenience them. We’re not trying to push on the public.” Kinna, who also sits on the BCGEU’s bargaining committee, said members will meet again next week to plan their next step. “We’re hoping this is enough to get the government to come back to the table and negotiate fairly,” he said, adding more strike action could come “if this doesn’t get their attention.” But, Kamloops-South Thompson MLA Terry Lake doesn’t think the strike is likely to change the government’s position on wages. “I would not expect that to happen,” he said. “The economy is in a fragile state. We’re doing well here, but we can’t take our eye off the ball here,

which is to get a balanced budget and provide affordable government for British Columbians.” Lake believes the current offer from the province is “reasonable” and, while he hasn’t examined the union’s money-making propositions, he said he’s skeptical there is much extra cash to be found. “I think the average British Columbia would say we are all in this together and we have to keep the price of government affordable for families,” Lake said. Along with the BCGEU, 119 PEA members were also on the picket lines. The union represents foresters, engineers, mine inspectors and other licensed professionals working for the province. Like the BCGEU, its members last had a pay raise in 2009.

After a soggy start, summer finished up hot and dry in the Tournament Capital. According to weather data from Environment Canada, August brought only two days of measurable rain to the city — a major downpour that saw some areas of the city get up to 15 millimetres of rain on the 23rd and a 1.2-millimetre sprinkle on the sixth. But, while rain was down, temperatures were up. The average daily high for the month was 30.5 C, compared to the usual 28 C. The month’s average daily low and mean temperature were also higher than is usual for this time of year. August’s real scorcher came early in the month, when temperatures hit nearly 38 C on the fifth — a new record high for that date and the hottest temperature recorded all summer. The coldest recorded temperature wouldn’t come until the 25th, when Kamloops cooled down to just under 11 C overnight. Overall, it was the fifth-hottest August on record in the city and a relatively dry one as well, with the city getting less than 40 per cent of its usual monthly rainfall. However, the summer as a whole is still wetter than average, thanks to heavy rainfalls in June. The city received 134 millimetres of rain during the last three months, compared to 94 millimetres on average. But, it was also a slightly hotter-than-average summer, with temperatures climbing above 35 C for 10 days (the average is six) and above 30 C for 38 days, compared to the usual 26 days.

Venture Kamloops on hunt for new leader By Tim Petruk STAFF REPORTER

tim@kamloopsthisweek.com

After three years at the helm of the City of Kamloopsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; economicdevelopment arm, Dan Sulz is stepping down. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m going to take some time and look at some further career opportunities for myself,â&#x20AC;? the outgoing executive director of Venture Kamloops told KTW. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been a great organization to work for.â&#x20AC;? Sulz, who was hired by Venture Kamloops in 2009 after a career in banking, wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t offer any hints about what those â&#x20AC;&#x153;career opportunitiesâ&#x20AC;? might be. â&#x20AC;&#x153;All I can say is Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got some irons in the fire,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m really, really excited about moving forward and I feel good about what we [Venture Kamloops] accomplished as a team.â&#x20AC;? Kamloops Mayor Peter Milobar said Sulz got a lot done in his time heading Venture Kamloops. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think Danâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s done a good job reorganizing Venture and getting it back on track,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He was always willing to chase down any lead.â&#x20AC;? Venture Kamloops is funded primarily by the City of Kamloops. Last year, taxpayers contributed $546,255 to its budget. Sulz said the three main goals of the organization are to encourage business start-ups and entrepreneurialism, support existing businesses

and attract new businesses and people to Kamloops. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a really exciting job in the sense that itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s always evolving,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;One of the benefits Kamloops has is we have jobs available where people can live and work in a close proximity.â&#x20AC;? Sulz said he represented Venture Kamloops at a number of national and international job fairs and immigration tours. One thing he kept hearing â&#x20AC;&#x201D; in Canada and overseas â&#x20AC;&#x201D; was that families are tired of being separated for weeks on end while one of the parents goes off to earn a paycheque. â&#x20AC;&#x153;What these families are looking for is non-camp situations,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We look at Highland Valley Copper, New Gold and the other projects that may be in the works, and we have a lot of great opportunities here.â&#x20AC;? Sulz said he hopes to remain in the Tournament Capital after his time at Venture Kamloops is up. Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll stay on as executive director until the role is filled by someone else. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I gave them enough notice so they can find a new replacement,â&#x20AC;? he said. Sulzâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s three-year term was in marked contrast to previous Venture Kamloops CEOs, two of whom â&#x20AC;&#x201D; M.J. Cousins and Gail Scott â&#x20AC;&#x201D; were fired from the position, prompting the city to bring in Jeff Putnam in an interim basis until Sulz was hired.

Jobfest arrives in city on Sept. 27 The B.C. government is rolling out a rock-themed road show to encourage young people to find training and work â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and the show will land in Kamloops on Sept. 27. The Jobfest tour has all the trappings of a concert tour, including T-shirts, souvenir drumsticks and guitar picks, and two inflatable tents

that look like giant amplifiers. Stops in 50 B.C. communities will include a rock band, local community performers and speakers, with the tents serving as mobile career resource centres. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going into some of the smallest communities in the province, First Nations communities, non-

aboriginal communities to really share with the youth of the province what sorts of careers are available to them,â&#x20AC;? said Jobs, Tourism and Innovation Minister Pat Bell. Jobfest in Kamloops will take place at the Campus Activity Centre at Thompson Rivers University, from 2 p.m. to 8 p.m.

The executive directorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s chair at Venture Kamloops will once again be home to a new body following Dan Sulzâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s three-year tenure in the historic Inland Cigar building downtown. KTW file photo

After 35 years at City Hall, it’s reﬂection time for Hrycan By Andrea Klassen STAFF REPORTER andrea@kamloopsthisweek.com

Through the windows of his ground-flood office at City Hall, Len Hrycan has a daily view of one of his proudest accomplishments. “You really do get to influence what the city ultimately looks like,” he said. “Things like the downtown core and the fact that it’s a vibrant and incredibly attractive downtown core for municipalities of our size, you know you influenced all those things.” But, after 35 years and three departments, the city’s director of community and corporate affairs is getting ready to hand the influence over to someone else. He’ll retire in less than a month, his last day set for Oct. 4. “I think it was time,” he said. “You look at the kind of energy that you pour into

things and after 35 years it was time to go and explore some things for myself.” Hrycan said he plans to spend the next year relaxing with his wife, who also recently retired from her teaching position. “I think we’re going to just enjoy not having to be anywhere in particular or having to make any specific decisions,” he said. “It’s a big world out there and there’s lots to experience.” Though he’ll end his time with this city as the overseer of bylaws, fire services and the city side of Kamloops RCMP operations, community and corporate is Hrycan’s third department. Originally hired as a design draftsman in the city’s engineering department in 1977, he also has spent more than a decade in city planning, and briefly headed up the development and engineering services

Home of the $5 Watch Battery (Taxes & installation included)

section when the now-retired Randy Diehl moved up to CAO. In 2004, he switched it up again, moving to his current role. “It’s not very often you can have three sort of independent careers and yet stay with the same employer,” Hrycan said. “I think what I brought over that transition is that wellrounded perspective of the organization and how all the pieces fit together.” Despite its police and fire links, Hrycan said making the switch to his new role meant leaving behind the adrenaline rush, “the high-paced urgency component you typically get when you’re dealing with land development.” And, when it comes to listing accomplishments, things from those planning and engineering years are the first to come up. Helping pioneer the mapping system that’s become

“a cornerstone” for staff, shaping the city’s infrastructure and, yes, making downtown look nice. More recently, he said he’s pleased with the progress the city’s made with its relationship with the RCMP, and the greater focus on crime reduction. While Hrycan’s retirement may set off a shuffling or merging of top-level positions, he does have some advice for whoever succeeds him in the role. “Be happy at work,” he said. “It’s important. You go through your ups and downs, but you have to take solace in the fact that the people you work with are tremendous. “The people that I’ve worked alongside with over the years are all soundly committed to making Kamloops a great community, and I think you can’t lose sight of that.”

Reﬂecting on sensational support during a life in school

BOUT 14 YEARS AGO, a well-meaning pediatrician back in our Ontario hometown told my husband and I not to expect much for our youngest child. He was about two at the time and had experienced a noticeable slowdown in his development. The doctor told us if we worked hard, we might be able to get him to talk, but that he would always need a lot of help to get through life. Fast forward to this past Tuesday and our six-foot-tall, 16-year-old theatre-arts major spent his first day in Grade 12. I was a bit weepy that day. Then again, I was in full-fledged weepiness at his brother’s graduation last June. It has something to do with babies becoming young adults and mom feeling both overwhelmed with pride but also in conflict with the reality the babies aren’t anymore. Sean came home somewhat blasé about school — first days are old hat by the time it’s your last first day, I guess — but he was delighted to tell me he had met a new school support worker at Beattie School of the Arts. “She was my teacher in kindergarten,” he said. How perfect is that? The woman who spent every day at Stuart Wood helping our son, still struggling with the realities of autism, to get through that year, to learn and to make friends, is there to see his transition out of school into whatever comes next. We’ve been lucky throughout Sean’s education. We have always had the most amaz-

DALE BASS Street

LEVEL ing support workers. Carman-Anne Schultz was our first gift, the woman who will now watch as that little boy finishes Grade 12. She quickly calmed all this mom’s worries about how kindergarten would go. She was fun, creative and infinitely patient and gave Sean the perfect start to his education. Then came Claire Byfield, again the absolutely perfect person as half-day school gave way to Grade 1 and the need for more structure and attention. Claire moved to another school and we got Sue Mauro and, oh my goodness, what growth Sean experienced with her assistance. Even now, years later, it amazes me how much growth he went through with Sue. Sean moved to Beattie elementary and we were assigned Frank Plastina. His challenge was easing the transition from a traditional elementary-school environment to the uniqueness of the fine-arts system. Again, he was the right support worker at the right time and the two years on McGill Road went so great. Off to Beattie secondary, where we were greeted by Arlene Fauteux, the woman who has been helping and,

now, more watching and counselling Sean since. It’s as much a credit to her as it is to our son that these last grades have seen the greatest growth in so many ways for Sean. None of this is to ignore the role the teachers have had; we have had the most amazing educators also working with Sean. But, the reality is that, all too often, school support workers are often overlooked — and definitely underpaid. The simple fact is we sent our little guy, overloaded with the challenges and realities of autism, into a system that is filled with similar kids — and we trusted it to work magic. And, there were problems. Not every educator we’ve dealt with has really understood autism or readily got on board with how we wanted Sean’s education to proceed. It’s easier sometimes to just accept the limitations and not always see the potential. But, the five support workers we’ve been blessed to have on Sean’s journey got it. They simply understood and then they went with the game plan. In a few months, my husband and I will again be at Calvary Community Church and I’ll again be trying to stifle tears as the last of the five kids graduates. We plan on inviting those support workers, along with the other therapists who have worked with Sean. His success has also been theirs and it’s just right to share it with them — just as it’s so right that Carman-Anne is there at the end. dale@kamloopsthisweek.com

Shuffling the deck chairs before the ship goes down? Or shuffling the deck and possibly coming up with a full house in time for the May 14, 2013, provincial election? How you view the shuffling of the B.C. Liberal cabinet this week depends entirely on how you view the fortunes of the beleaguered governing party. If polls are to be believed, most voters would view the B.C. Liberals as a listing ship whose demise into the murky waters of political history is inevitable. This camp could also point to the dizzying number of MLAs — cabinet ministers included — who are jumping ship, deciding now not to go down with the captain next spring. At this point, it would be quicker to list the incumbent Liberal candidates who are seeking re-election. Those who may insist the end is not nigh for the party — and they could very well be limited to the incumbent MLAs and the men and women seeking to replace the outgoing among those incumbents — constantly herald the new blood and point to faulty polling in recent Alberta and Ontario elections to bolster their defence. What is interesting amid the cabinet shuffle is the appointment of what may be the first doctor to the Ministry of Health portfolio. Margaret MacDiarmid writes on her web page that her time as a family doctor in the B.C. Interior and in Vancouver prompted her to run for the MLA seat in Vancouver-Fairview. How MacDiarmid tackles the monster that is health care, coming at it from perspectives as a doctor, a patient and a politician, will be fascinating.

Pool should replace McArthur Island Youth Centre Editor: In response to your request for suggestions for a replace for the McArthur Island Youth Centre (‘When youth yields to old age,’ Aug. 30), I believe an indoor pool should be considered. Once the Brock and McDonald Park outdoor pools close, North Shore residents must go to Westsyde, to the downtown Y or to the Tournament Capital Centre in the university district to swim. With the residential numbers, schools and senior facilities, the North Shore could

more than support an indoor pool, swim club and programs specific to identified groups in the area. We have arenas, soccer fields and baseball diamonds, but it is not every family that can afford these sports. However, I do believe we (the North Kamloops/ Brocklehurst/Westmount/ Batchelor Heights area and, eventually, Tranquille) have a population (which includes a large group of youth at risk) that would greatly benefit by having a local indoor pool providing affordable recreation.

It would also be another drawing card to encourage new businesses, development and residents to the North Shore. We should consider the impact of family and friends accompanying individuals who attend the many events on McArthur Island who would use the facility year-round if we had one. Yes, I would support a pool at this location to add to our Tournament Capital facilities. Susan Petrovcic Kamloops

Indoor pool would beneﬁt community, NorKam school Editor: We really would like to see an indoor-pool complex for the North Shore. There are so many multi-family residences and senior complexes to ensure good use of such a facility. Regular fitness for families and seniors would benefit the community. Such a facility could include courts for badminton and pickle ball, which have certainly caught on as usage of the present

courts show. NorKam secondary would be able to have water programs, as Westsyde secondary does, without busing students. The parking is already there and this addition would make McArthur Island a four-season playground, therefore assisting North Shore businesses with continual traffic year-round. Darlene and Bert Malfair Kamloops

City should consider badminton courts at youth-centre site Editor: Your article mentions a racquet club for squash and racquetball players. Very nice but, as usual, the world’s fastest racquet sport, badminton, is once again ignored. Badminton is a hugely popular sport in most of the world and has grown rapidly in North America. In the Vancouver/Richmond area, three new badminton-only venues have been built to cater to the increasing demand for this sport. I am a senior and have played twice a week for the last seven years at the youth centre. If a racquet-sports facility is to be constructed, badminton

courts should be included and they should be of such quality that Kamloops could be considered for such events as Canadian, North American and world championship tournaments. After all, we are called the Tournament Capital of Canada. I would hate to see the McArthur Island Youth Centre disappear because other venues, including school gymnasiums are not really adequate for proper badminton play. Please consider this wonderful, fast-moving and entertaining sport in your deliberations as to what, if anything, will replace the venerable facility. Wayne and Lynette Fullerton Kamloops

Tournament Capital will have them returning next year Editor: Our family recently spent a few days in Kamloops courtesy of Tourism Kamloops and several local businesses that supplied the activities and accommodations we won through a contest called Nana & Papa’s Grandkid Extravaganza Getaway in Kamloops. Like most families, when summer approaches, we start to plan our annual vacation, usually travelling to one or two different places during summer break from school. One destination that truthfully does not make it onto our vacation list is the

B.C. Interior. Well, we just came back from sunny Kamloops and we are already planning a return trip for next year. Our time in the Interior included meeting many friendly people, enjoying the less-stressful environment and hospitality of a smaller city and great weather. In contrast, we arrived home to Vancouver’s overcast skies and congested traffic. Our family would like to thank Tourism Kamloops and the following businesses that made our summer

vacation a fun and memorable experience: Kamloops Mounted Patrol, Scoopz Ice Cream Parlour, Kamloops Heritage Railway, Jandana Ranch, Secwepemc Museum, Coast Kamloops Hotel and Convention Centre and B.C. Wildlife Park. We know next year’s vacation list will be topped with a return to Kamloops and we will do our best to relive the great things we did just a short while ago — and maybe a few new things as well.

JCS has received reports that a build-up of steam in the water reservoir can force the brewing chamber to open and expel hot coffee grounds and water, posing a burn hazard. Please see London Drugs customer service for product returns or for more information.

London Drugs regrets any concern or inconvenience this may cause.

Subway casual comes to Kamloops The signs have been up for a few weeks, but the doors to a new option for sandwich seekers opened this week across the street from the campus of Thompson Rivers University. Kamloops’ first Subway Cafe — the popular sandwich joint’s coffee-shop hybrid — opened for business on Wednesday, Sept. 5. “It’s a Subway store with a cafe option,” said owner Grayden Flanagan. “So, you can go in there and get a sandwich, but you can also get an espresso or a cappuccino. “It’s another option that’s available.” The Subway Cafe is located in the Landmark development, at the corner of McGill Road and University Drive. Flanagan said that location — walking

distance for students — was chosen for a reason. “You’ve got lounges and fireplaces and wi-fi,” he said, describing the departure from the New York City subway-map wallpaper of older-generation Subways. “It’s another option that’s available.” And, Flanagan said, expect to see more Subway Cafes in Kamloops in the near future. “We’re currently working on getting one in the Dallas Town Centre,” he said. Subway started in 1965 as a lone sandwich shop in Bridgeport, Conn., opened by a 17-year-old named Fred DeLuca and his partner, Dr. Peter Buck. Today, the world’s largest sandwich chain has more than 34,000 locations worldwide.

Construction still booming — and about to get better By Andrea Klassen STAFF REPORTER andrea@kamloopsthisweek.com

One of the biggest-ticket construction projects in the works should be on the city books by October. Chief building inspector Kundan Bubbar said the city expects building permits for the multi-million-dollar Telus data centre to go out some time this month. The approximately $35-million project alone would push the city’s permit value for the

year into the $150- to $170million range — the forecast for construction values in 2012. August marks the first time since March construction values for the month were lower than they were during the same month in 2011, with $16.6 million in permits going out compared to more than $28 million last year. While the number of permits issued for single-family homes is almost the same yearto-year, construction value fell to $2.7 million

from $3.4 million. “People are being more careful with what they are building,” said Bubbar. “They don’t want to overprice the house for selling.” Overall, residential value was down from $7.6 million last year to just over $4 million for 2012. As usual for 2012, the two highest-value projects to get permits this month were commercial developments: A $6.5-million store renovation on Columbia Street and a $2.7-

million industrial building on Peerless Way. But, at just over $10 million commercial numbers were also below 2011, when construction value was nearly $19 million. Bubbar said the city is on track to meet its value projections for the year, however, and is also hoping to reach its forecast for the number of dwelling units added to the city stock this year. The city has projected it will give out permits for 300 units. So far, it’s at 263.

Paramedics and RCMP responded and the man was taken to Royal Inland Hospital by helicopter with serious, but not life-threatening,

Runaway rig A runaway rig led to a parking-lot chase, but only minor damages, at the Versatile Truck Stop on Aug. 31. According to Kamloops RCMP, a 55-year-old Maple Ridge man left his truck and trailer in neutral with the

Lake doesn’t shift in cabinet shufﬂe Premier Christy Clark shuffled the deck today, after many key members of her cabinet recently decided not to run in the upcoming provincial election. Kamloops-North Thompson MLA Terry Lake remains environment minister. He has also been named deputy government house leader, under government house leader Michael de Jong, the province’s new finance minister. In addition, Lake is vice-chair of the cabinet environment and landuse committee and a member of the cabinet priorities and planning committee and treasury board. Lake told KTW he is excited to be on the planning and priorities committee. “It’s probably the

most influential cabinet committee, so that’s some extra responsibility,” he said. “So, I’m happy about that.” Kevin Krueger, the Kamloops-South Thompson MLA who will not seek re-election in the May 2013 election, was named as a member of the cabinet committee on open government and engagement. Some key moves: De Jong slots in as the new finance minister; Margaret MacDiarmid moves to health, Mary Polak to the transportation ministry; Don McRae in as new education minister; while Rich Colman will stay as energy minister. MacDiarmid’s appointment as health minister is believed to be the first time in B.C.

LOCAL NEWS

Kamloops SPCA on lockdown in wake of ringworm outbreak WORK BETWEEN PLAY. CHINESE SKATERS ON MCARTHUR Rottweiler will be put down after elderly woman bitten Parts of the Kamloops branch of the SPCA is closed to the public due to an outbreak of ringworm. The closing has affected the area that houses cats and small animals. The area hous-

doned and surrendered animals,” said Dr. James Lawson, chief animal health officer for the BC SPCA. “It is especially challenging for shelters at this time of year because we receive so many

ing dogs is still open for adoptions. “Unfortunately, cases of ringworm are inevitable and, when diseases occur in the community, they are brought into the shelter through aban-

abandoned and surrendered kittens who are particularly susceptible to ringworm.” Lawson said the affected animals are being treated at the shelter and it should reopen soon.

A dog attack that left an elderly woman’s arm in tatters on Sunday, Sept. 2, is still being investigated by Kamloops bylaw services. Kamloops Mounties say the Rottweiler was tied up outside the McDonald’s on Fortune Drive at about 1:30 p.m. on while a friend of the owner’s who was dog-sitting went inside to get food. The dog broke free of its leash, however, and knocked 84-year-old Mary Gurl to the ground. The animal then bit Gurl’s left arm down to the bone, tearing her flesh. Kamloops RCMP Staff

Sgt. Grant Learned said this is the second time the dog has clashed with someone this summer. In June, a Canada Post worker also reported being bitten by the dog. Learned said it will be up to the city’s bylaw enforcement team, but the dog’s owner will likely face a fine. An initial investigation by the RCMP found no grounds for criminal charges. As of press deadline, the dog was last reported to be housed at the city pound, although it was expected to be put down as early as yesterday (Sept. 5) afternoon.

Choosing the right daycare for peace of mind Caregiving for the youngest members of society, babies and toddlers, is growing in scope and possibilities. In addition to a safe and nurturing environment, parents looking for daycare services may want much more for their childâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s first crucial years of development. Once they decide what they want from a daycare, parents should shop around for the right place for their child. One of the best ways to find a daycare is by a referral from someone who is satisfied with their daycare provider. If thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not possible, the community health unit may have lists of local daycare providers. Daycares can be public or privately owned. Parents should visit a daycare in person to see the facilities,

and ask about licences, daily routines, programs and activities for the children, snacks and meals, discipline and rewards policies, and how first aid and emergencies are handled. Is a trial period possible? Other parents who use a daycare can provide good feedback about the quality of services offered. If the daycare discourages such discussions between parents, this is a good sign to look elsewhere. Communication is an essential ingredient to monitoring the needs of the child. There should also be a good communications policy between parents and the child care provider.

School’s back in session — time to sleep

S THE SCHOOL BELL starts ringing, parents who have allowed their kids more latitude in bedtimes and waking times are now trying to restore a regular routine to give their kids the sleep they need. Sleep is an essential aspect of school performance and for good mental health — and is crucial for a child’s good health, development and behaviour No one really knows how much sleep a child needs; each child has their own unique requirements, based on their metabolic rate, activity level and other factors. Some pediatricians say if your child is healthy and not sleepy during the day, you have noth-

ing to worry about unless your child has noisy breathing during sleep. If you child snores, breathes loudly or stops breathing momentarily during sleep, it could be something to be concerned about and you should discuss it with your doctor. The Canadian Medical Association (CMA) offers advice to help children get better sleep — have a consistent bedtime seven days a week and try to encourage eight to 10 hours of sleep. It suggests a calming nighttime routine with a bath or story. Have older kids stop watching televi-

sion or doing homework a half-hour before going to bed. If your kid has a cellphone, have it charged somewhere else in the house so they are not tempted to be texting when they should be sleeping. Kids with a TV in their room get fewer hours of sleep. Most studies show a fairly consistent 9.25-hours sleep requirement for teenagers, meaning that for most, there is a huge gap between what they get on an average school night and what they require. An adolescent’s biology bears some of the blame for this sleep problem.

As teens progress through puberty, unprecedented growth occurs in body and brain that requires a lot of sleep. Part of the changing teen body is thow melatonin — the brain chemical that makes us sleepy — is produced. As a teen progresses through puberty, melatonin is released later and later in the evening, making it much more difficult to sleep until later in the evening. One teen-sleep specialist advises light is a “drug that promotes wakefulness” in much the same way darkness promotes sleep. It’s helpful to dim lights in the later

evening and ensure a teen’s room is not lit up with computer screens, television or other electronic lights. Encourage good sleep habits, even if it is hard to do for the first few days, as the reward will be a healthier, more attentive and happier youth. Until next time, sweet dreams and thank you for all your suggestions and messages about the issues that are important to you. Keep writing to us

EMMA DURIGAN (née MATTIUZZO) October 26, 1932 to August 31, 2012 It is with the great sadness we announce the passing of Emma Durigan, who is now reunited with her husband (Tarcisio) of 48 years. She will be missed deeply by her family and friends. Emma is survived by her children, Ermes and Rosanna (Peter) and her grandchildren, Marina and Alexander who have lost their beloved Nonna. She will also be missed by her sister in-law Eliza, niece Lucia (Steve and Thomas), Mario (Carmen and Liza) along with numerous relatives in Italy and Australia. Emma was predeceased by her parents Rosa and Giovanni; her brother Elio and brother in law Sergio. As a young bride, Emma immigrated to Canada in 1956 from Italy to build a home and raise a family. She enjoyed many years of happiness with family and friends in Kamloops especially the many Sundays spent with the Picnic group, camping or simply taking in the view from the side of a lake. Emma also enjoyed visiting relatives and friends on trips with her family to Italy and Australia. She was a long standing member of teh Little Flower Society and will be fondly remembered for her strength and sense of humour. A special thank you to Giovanni Durigon for his regular visits and hours of friendship he gave Emma during her lengthy hospital stay. Prayers will be recited at 7:00 p.m. on Thursday September 6, 2012, and a Mass of Christian Burial will be celebrated at 11:00 a.m. on Friday September 7, 2012. Both services will be held at Sacred Heart Cathedral at 255 Nicola Street, Kamloops B.C. Interment will follow at Hillside Cemetery. Should friends desire a donation to The Arthritis Society or The Heart & Stroke Foundation would be appreciated in memory of Emma.

MARION MARTHA GARAY On Saturday, September 1, 2012 Marion Garay of Kamloops passed away at the age of 74. She was born in Mapes, B.C. on October 11, 1937 to Wilfred and Olive Rhindress. She is survived by her husband and best friend Joe Garay, her six children Marianne (Ross) Pettigrew of New Zealand, Joe Garay of Fernie, Sandra (Carl) Ryan of Okotoks, Cathy Garay of Kamloops, Darlene Garay of Kamloops and “adopted sons” Allen Layng of Calgary and Bob Wilde of Quesnel, and grandchildren Kayleigh Bosnick of Coquitlam, Bodhi Ridsdale of Kamloops, Brandon and Madison Ryan of Okotoks, Olivia and Fraser Pettigrew of New Zealand, Faith and Grace Garay of Calgary. She also leaves to cherish her memory her brother Jim (Angeline) Rhindress of Kamloops, sisters Jean Dick of Kamloops, Viola Tucker of Kamloops, Evelyn (Dennis) Seevers of Kamloops, Charlene (Rod) Bosnick of Tsawwassen and Elsie Dillman of Kamloops and good forever friend Flora Baker. Marion was predeceased by sister LilyBell Wilms. Mom came with her family to Kamloops in 1947 and spent the rest of her life here. Mom and Dad were married in 1960. Mom worked at Royal Inland Hospital in the Dietary Department until her first child was born, then remained at home to raise her family. Thank you to Dr. Julian Waller, Marisa, Dr. Wiltshire and all the doctors and nurses at 3 West, for the good care while mom was sick. Also a special thank you to the Kamloops Hospice staff. Prayers will be recited on Friday, September 7, 2012 at 7:00 p.m. at Our Lady of Perpetual Help Church. The Reverend Father Peter Nguyen will celebrate the Funeral Mass in the church on Saturday, September 8, 2012 at 11:00 a.m..

Pennies From Heaven I found a penny today, Just laying on the ground But it’s not just a penny, This little coin I’ve found. “Found” pennies come from heaven, That’s what my Grandpa told me He said angels toss them down; Oh, how I loved that story. He said when an angel misses you, They toss a penny down Sometimes just to cheer you ou up, Make a smile out of your frown own So don’t pass by that penny, When you’re feeling blue It may be a penny from heaven That an angel tossed to you.

Manhandling at McDonald Kevin Engelland hoists a car at the 2011 Kamloops’ Strongest Man competition. Similar feats of strength will be on display at this year’s edition of the event on Saturday, Sept. 8, at McDonald Park. “These are more than just gym exercises,” event organizer Robin Wright said. KTW file photo

By Marty Hastings STAFF REPORTER

sports@kamloopsthisweek.com

HERE WILL be no shortage of power on display at the eighth annual Kamloops’ Strongest Man (KSM) competition. The B.C. Extreme Athletes’ event — featuring truck-pull, log-press, tire-flip, walking-medley, Atlasstone and keg-deadlift competitions — will run from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. at McDonald Park on Saturday, Sept. 8. “These are more than just gym exercises,” event organizer Robin Wright said.

“When you manhandle something, there’s a lot more than just your biceps working.” Wright expects about 20 powerhouses to compete for the overall points title, given to the strongman who posts the best combined score after all six events. “You are completely wiped out when you’re done,” Wright said. The truck pull will see harnessedin competitors pull a 25,000-pound Cobra Contracting rig about 80 feet. In the log press, participants will lift steel logs over their heads. It’s a single-lift, maxweight event — who-

ever presses the most weight wins. The tire flip will see athletes flip 800 pounds of circular rubber across a 100-foot course. There will be three different implements — farmers’ walk, yoke walk and Conan’s wheel — in the walking medley. Each requires the musclemen to walk varying distances while carrying massive amounts of weight in different positions. The Atlas-stone competition has the brutes roll massive boulders up their bodies and place them on top of a four-foot barrel. Whistler Brewing

is supplying the kegdeadlift equipment. This one’s not complicated — lift upward of 750 pounds of beer as many times as possible in 75 seconds. Wright said the general public might be surprised by the physiques of those who enter KSM. It’s not always the bodybuilding-type frames that fare best. “We had a mover flip the 500-pound tire 22 times in 75 seconds one year,” Wright said. “The bodybuilder struggled to flip it five times. “It was just because of the functionality of the muscles. The mover guy was moving pianos

around and the bodybuilder was static in the gym.” There is no cost to attend the event, but Wright is asking spectators to bring nonperishable items, which will be donated to the Kamloops Food Bank. In a new wrinkle this year, there will be a vehicle-smash station. With a cash or food donation, members of the public can relieve some stress by bringing a sledgehammer down on a vehicle, donated by Mike’s Auto Towing. “This is a great event for the public,” Wright said. “It’s also great for the food bank.”

JC Lipon certainly isn’t overlooked on a line featuring Tim Bozon and Colin Smith, but he might not get the credit he deserves. That could change this season. The Regina product came into training camp in great shape and led the Kamloops Blazers in goals, assists (tied with defenceman Brady Gaudet), points and penalty minutes after two WHL exhibition tilts. (Kamloops played its third exhibition game last night against the Vancouver Giants at Interior Savings Centre. Log on to kamloopsthisweek.com for a recap.) Yes, they were just two pre-season games, but combine the early production with his statistics from last season — 19 goals, 65 points and 111 sin-bin minutes in 69 regular-season games — and Blazer fans have the right to get excited. “I just tried to get better defensively and, obviously, offensively, because I’m playing with pretty skilled guys on my line, just trying to keep up with them,” Lipon said. “So far, it’s been a bit of a confidence booster, putting the puck in the net and contributing.”

The six-foot, 181pound right-winger spent much of the summer at home in Regina staying in shape, working and wakeboarding. He trained with local fitness guru Rod Flahr, along with NHLers Brooks Laich and Jaden Schwartz, and went to an elite hockey camp in Minnesota, where the likes of T.J. Oshie and Scott Hartnell could also be found. His day jobs, if they’re even worthy of being called that, were a little slack. “I poured concrete for my dad’s buddy,” Lipon said. “It’s two hours to go wheelbarrow and he paid me for six.” He also had a parttime advertising gig. “I just go to events and give good-looking girls stuff.” The dog days of summer are past, though, and Lipon is chuffed to be back in the River City. Did it bother him last season that Smith and Bozon, both of whom in June were drafted to the NHL, received much of the credit for the line’s success? “No, I’ve always kind of had it the hard way,” Lipon said. “I wasn’t drafted to the WHL and I wasn’t drafted to the NHL, but I’m still getting an opportunity.” X See LIPON A28

Lipon itching for regular season X From A26

The ISC faithful would no doubt like to see Lipon carry his pre-season form into the regular-season opener against Kelowna on Sept. 21. He would be more than happy to oblige. “This is part of the process, exhibition games and everything, but I think everyone is pretty ready to get the season started and do things for real.”

Ben Prokopetz of the peewee Kamloops Wildcats escapes the grasp of a would-be Salmon Arm tackler in community football action at Hillside Stadium on Sunday, Sept. 2. Kamloops won 18-0. Susie Anderton photo

There were three Kamloops Community Football matchups at Hillside Stadium on Sunday, Sept. 2. In the first game, the atom Kamloops Broncos earned a 21-0 default victory over Salmon Arm, which did not field enough players. The peewee Kamloops Wildcats won the day’s second game, blanking the Salmon Arm Colts 18-0. Solid offensiveline play from Matteo Viani, Jagger Reid and Matthew Stanhope allowed quarterback Carsen Day to throw for 87 yards. Mattias Nelson and Cam Treadwell were on the receiving end of the passes. Ben Prokopetz rushed for 144 yards, including a 15-yard touchdown scamper, while Marcus Kyle punched in two TDs of his own. Adam Buholzer rounded out the groundgame numbers with 21 yards rushing. Jacob Graf, Denzel Marican, Sean Smit, Dayton Tomlin and Jimmy Gustaffson led the defence with 22 combined tackles, while

Isiah Lunot recovered a fumble late in the fourth quarter to preserve the shutout. The Wildcats travel to Kelowna next Sunday to play the Dragons. In the third game of the day, the junior bantam Kamloops Broncos fell 38-18 to Salmon Arm. Jeremy Strachan led the way for the Broncos with three rushing majors, including two of 50 or more yards.

A walk in the park The 21st annual Walk in the Park Ultra Race went off without a hitch at Kenna Cartwright Park on Sunday, Sept. 2. Participants chose between 18-, 36- and 54-kilometre loops. Mel Bos of Kelowna established a new female course record, finishing the 54k in 5:04. Logan Baulieu of Edmonton was the first male finisher at that distance with a

time of 6:01. The lone 36k runner was Geoff Blunden of Kamloops, who finished in 5:06. In the 18k, Ian Robertson of Kamloops was the first male finisher with a time of 1:43. Two minutes later, the fastest female, Jennifer Elfenbein of Kamloops, crossed the finish line. Sandra Pasmen of Kamloops finished all three loops in 9:30, winning the event’s traditional last-place prize, a lawn chair.

“

WHAT ABOUT THIS ONE?” I SAY, HOLDING UP A NOT-QUITEWIDE-OPEN SHELL, SOOT-BLACK AND GLOSSY WITH CURRIED CREAM. “Dead before the pot? Or after?” We’re seated on the secondstorey balcony of a downtown Charlottetown pub. Jazz notes are rising from street musicians on the street below. DARCIE HOSSACK The air is comfortably cool and Bon I’ve just ordered APPÉTIT my first-ever bowl of mussels (to share). When it comes to a love of seafood, I’m a late bloomer. Having grown up on mostly land food, I went from farmer’s granddaughter and butch-

er’s stepdaughter, to spending my teenage years on the other side of my family tree, as a Seventh Day Adventist vegetarian. If I did eat seafood, Levitical-type attention was paid to whether, in life, the fish had swum with fins and scales. Therefore, my longstanding aversion to bi-valves and crustaceans has deep and twisty roots. Now, as I stick a slender fork between two halves of shell and finagle an orange oval of flesh from its once home, I swallow an upwelling of panic and open wide. “P.E.I. mussels are renowned for having the highest meat counts in the world,” a reader will later tell me. And? Because I’d put off trying West Coast mussels every chance I’d ever had, I have nothing with which to compare. But, these mussels are sweet and pleasing to the bite. They are meaty, yes, and I conclude I rather like them. Given the right setting, I could even see myself acquiring a hankering.

Maybe. But, more importantly, this shellfish novice suddenly feels ready to move on from the safer waters of haddock and ahi that started off our week in the Maritimes and consider other things. Having eaten mussels, maybe raw Malpeque oysters from Raspberry Point will be next. Perhaps even something with an exoskeleton and pincers and alien-like eyes suspended on waving sticks — like the lobsters that seem to follow us everywhere we go. And, I do mean everywhere. Including, we’ll later discover, the departures area of the Halifax airport, where one can have a live lobster packed up to take home in a cardboard carrier that is essentially a pet caddy packed with ice. For now, however, as we drive toward our next meal, a sign under a set of golden arches makes pull a U-turn. “McLobster is Back!” the sign proclaims. While this certainly will not be where I will encounter lobster for the first time, we stop, click and post photographic evidence on

Facebook for all of our friends in the West. Later, it’s in a salt box of a seaside restaurant in Cavendish, P.E.I., where I finally work up an appetite for something the Maritimes is famous for: A lobster roll. Mounded on a soft pretzel bun, the crustacean meat is tossed in a light mayonnaise dressing and is firm and sweet and everything (I imagined) it should be. A perfect lunch in a perfect place. So that, before we board our flight home later in the week, I’ll take a good long look in that tank in the Halifax airport, considering whether I want to travel with a giant sea bug by my feet. And whether, once I get it home, I’ll be able to dispatch it into a pot. I’ll look at Chefhusband, who will fix me with an are-you-kidding look that lets me know he’s not interested in a lobster pet. And, when we take off, we’ll already be planning when to come back — and what to eat when we do. nicefatgurdie.wordpress.com. onepotato2potato@shaw.ca.

Noted Shuswap environmentalist dies John Coffey, a wellknown environmentalist in the Shuswap area, died on Saturday, Sept. 1, from cancer. Coffey was a cofounder of the Shuswap Trail Alliance, lead trail steward, route finder, naturalist and guide. He was a member of the Shuswap Naturalists, Shuswap Outdoors, the Kamloops Outdoors Club and the Larch Hills Nordic Society. Coffee was recognized as a friend, mentor and advocate for the Shuswap area’s environment and the groups that focus on it. His legacy of trails includes the Larch Hills Traverse, Reinecker Creek, Scotch Creek Hlina, Hyde Mountain Lookout, Cedar Circle, Raspberry Hill, the Larch Hills Snowshoe

trail system and the new Rubberhead trails, to name a few. Coffey monitored all the major alpine routes in the region — Joss, Skyline, Gorge, English, Queest, Eagle Pass; worked with biologist Jeremy Ayotte to create the Environmental Adaptive Trail Monitoring program; and helped to set up the new Shuswap Trail Stewards program. He also worked protecting the Mara Meadows Ecological Reserve as a volunteer warden with BC Parks. Perhaps his mostbeloved project is the Anstey Highland Traverse — a sevenstage ridgeline mountaineering route along the eastern spine of the Shuswap. During a six-year

period, Coffey carefully explored, documented and connected the proposed route in its entirety, including potential hut sites and environmental assessments. It is a body of work that will continue to be carried forward by the

Shuswap Trail Alliance. A few weeks ago, Coffey was asked what his friends could do for him. His immediate response was: “Get out and build trails, and take care of the trails.” He loved to see peo-

ple outdoors, using and caring for trails, and observing things along the way. A celebration of Coffey’s life will be held on Friday, Sept. 7 from 2 p.m. to 4 p.m. at the family’s home in Salmon Arm.

TRU faculty talk about Ajax, activist tours it The Thompson Rivers University Faculty Association’s human-rights committee is hosting a public forum on the proposed Ajax copper and gold mine. The forum will be held on Sunday, Sept. 9, at 2 p.m. in the university’s Clocktower Building. The Ajax mine is proposed to be devel-

oped immediately south of Aberdeen, with some of the mine within City of Kamloops boundaries. The forum is the first in a series at TRU dealing with mining-related issues in Kamloops, Canada and other countries where Canadian mining companies are operating.

Those wishing to speak at the event can call 250-828-5244. • Meanwhile, after more than a month off, a tour tackling the “emotional impacts” of the proposed Ajax copper and gold mine will resume on Sunday, Sept 16. Ajax opponent and former miner Tony Brumell will mount his approximately three-

The garden, which features three varieties of kale, beets, sage and other edibles, is a pilot project by the city to show how landscaping with edible plants — or foodscaping — can improve public spaces. Produce from the garden will go to the Kamloops Food Bank, community kitchens

Scotiabank AIDS Walk for Life Saturday September 22, 2012

ZUMBA WARM UP

FREE BBQ! GREAT MUSIC!

The Scotiabank AIDS Walk for Life will be taking place this Saturday September 22th, 2012, and we hope to see you there! Bring the kids and join us for a Zumba warm up, The WALK, amazing silent auction, a free BBQ and great music by DJ Kudos!!! Remember this walk plays a critical role in increasing community awareness and raising the much needed funds for people living with HIV and AIDS. 100% of all proceeds raised from the AIDS Walk will stay in the Kamloops community and assist people living with HIV/AIDS.

Among recipients of B.C. Arts Council grants is Project X Theatre, which mounted a successful and popular production of James and the Giant Peach in the summer at Prince Charles Park. KTW file photo

Arts groups receive grants Four local performing-arts organizations have received operational grants from the B.C. Arts Council (BCAC). Western Canada Theatre is receiving the largest amount at $125,000, up from the $106,000 it received last year. WCT general manager Lori Marchand said they were delighted to get the larger amount and see it as reflecting the confidence of the council in the artistic direction of the theatre. Theatre B.C. will receive $70,800, slightly more than last year, said its executive director, Vance Schneider, and the money is definitely welcome as the organization continues building. The Kamloops Symphony Society is receiving $28,500. Symphony general manager Kathy Humphreys said the grant is the same amount received last year and makes up about three per cent of its budget. “But, it all helps,” Humphreys said. “It’s just another little piece of the puzzle” of financing a symphony and annual concerts. Project X Theatre will get $12,500. Its director, Derek Rein, said: “We’re

thrilled to have the B.C. Arts Council aknowledge the vitality of an event like X Fest with their generous support. And, while we are coming off our most well-

attended festival ever, the funding provided by the B.C. Arts Council is necessary to help offset production and personnel costs associated with X Fest 2012.”

It is not too late to collect pledges! Download a pledge form from the link below or stop by A.S.K Wellness at 433 Tranquille road and pick one up! Every little bit helps this important cause. If you are not able to make the walk or collect pledges a small donation on our website will make a great difference.

COMMUNITY CATCHING SOME OF THAT LAST-MINUTE SUMMER AIR

Wine

Down with Us Sauvignon Blanc

By Lianne Milobar. Stag’s Head Liquor Store

Sauvignon Blanc (soh-vee-NYAWN blahnk) is an aromatic white grape variety that originates from the Bordeaux region of France, but it is the New Zealand style from Marlborough’s Cloudy Bay that created a furor back in 1985 that still turns many consumers’ heads. Here’s a bit of wine geek information to start with: DNA profiling has established that Cabernet Sauvignon is the child of Sauvignon Blanc and Cabernet Franc. While the original home of Sauvignon is Bordeaux, it is the Upper Loire Valley vineyards that have the best growing conditions for the varietal - soils that consist of chalk, gravel, loam or flint that are located in a cool but sunny climate. The appellations of Pouilly-Fumé (pwee fume-ay) and Sancerre (sawnSAYR) produce some of the most elegant Sauvignon Blancs in the world. Remember in my first article, I explained that in Europe, wines are labelled by region, so look for a Sancerre or a PouillyFumé in the French section, not necessarily a Sauvignon Blanc.

John Makowsky of Prince George made a point of stopping in Kamloops on Saturday, Sept. 1, to enjoy the bike and skateboard facilities at McArthur Island. The 20-year-old demonstrated his talent at jumps, 360-degree airborne turns, crossovers and other manoeuvers. A student of digital arts and new media graphic web design at Selkirk College in Nelson, the stop was brief as he headed back to Nelson with his parents. George Wycherley photos/KTW

These wines are commonly blended with Sémillon (say-mee-YOHN) providing structure and body, are typically elegant, grassy or herbaceous, have a gooseberry aroma, and contain a subtle minerality or flint. New Zealand experienced so much success with Sauvignon Blanc since the first plantings in the ‘70s, that the country has dedicated more vineyards to this grape than Bordeaux or the Loire Valley. According to an article from the Journal of the Geological Association of Canada from 2009, New Zealand had eleven viticulture regions and more than 22,000 ha of vineyards - Sauvignon Blanc accounted for approximately 40% of land under vine. The New Zealand style of Sauvignon Blanc is more intense and fruity than the French style, with aromas of gooseberries, passionfruit, asparagus, or sometimes ... cat’s pee! (Sounds disgusting, but it’s popular!)

ALL! M I L A H SA

From the 1970’s on, Sauvignon Blanc has been successful in California, due to Robert Mondavi’s renaming the varietal ‘Fumé Blanc’, giving it a glamourous makeover. Don’t expect to find ‘Fumé Blanc’ in France, though! Napa or Sonoma Sauvignon Blancs may add a little oak to their wines, making it rounder and richer, but not in a California Chardonnay style. Russian River Sauvignons are more subtle, like a Bordeaux style. Our very own BC produces many wonderful Sauvignon Blancs that are typically grassy with grapefruit and gooseberry characteristics that are fresh and crisp, some blended with Sémillon, and some barrel fermented to add complexity. The Sauvignon vine grows vigorously and can prove troublesome for growers if the vines get out of hand. This can cause the grapes to not reach full maturity, creating an herby, rank wine. This can be prevented by proper canopy management and a lowvigour rootstalk. Sauvignon Blanc is also susceptible to powdery mildew and gray rot, with the gray rot helping to make some of the world’s most sought-after dessert wines. But, we’ll save that for another time. Stainless steel fermentation and early bottling is the main way Sauvignon Blanc wines are made. This allows the natural character of the grape to shine through. Sauvignon Blanc is pale yellow in colour, and in cool climate wines will have a slightly greenish tinge. If this varietal is aged in wood or comes from a warm climate, the colour will be deeper. Naturally high in acid, Sauvignon Blanc is light to medium bodied and crisp. Enjoy these dry wines well-chilled (refrigerate for 40-50 minutes), and while they are young within two years, although some Bordeaux wines have ageing potential. Try Sauvignon Blanc with goat cheese, chicken, fish, salads, oysters, seafood, and vegetarian cuisine. Cheers!

OPENING SOON! Enjoy the largest & best BC VQA Wine selection in town as well as a great import wine section!

Victims Services: Don’t be a Pal to online scammers

OU’VE decided to put an item for sale on one of the popular websites, such as Craigslist or Kijiji. Soon you receive an email from an interested buyer who wants to buy it — sight unseen. They ask you for your PayPal account information so they can deposit the money into your account. This is a scam! The ruse works like this: The scammer wants your item and is more than willing to pay the price you are asking; sometimes they even offer more. The scammer tells you their shipping agent will come for the item, but will need to be paid in advance. The scammer is willing to cover the shipping costs. Next, the scammer asks for your PayPal information so he or she can deposit the funds into your account. You are informed that PayPal will email you when the funds have been deposited and will hold those funds until you have shipped the items. Once the items are received, the funds will be released to you. The scammer will make a “deposit” to your PayPal account and ask that you pay the shipping agent from the deposit. Most often, the

scammer does not put anything in your account and emails you confirmation the money has been deposited and is being held for you. This ‘confirmation’ looks very much like it came from PayPal and may even include a link that appears to be PayPal. This link is fake and takes you to a site set up by the scammer solely to trick you into believing the transaction is legitimate. The following variations may happen next. You pay the shipping agent and wait for the confirmation. The confirmation never comes because the deposit was never made. You are out the shipping cost for your item. Sometimes the scammer deposits too much money into your PayPal account and then asks you to ship the item and send the overpayment back. You then find out that the deposit was never made and you are out the value of the overpayment and have given your item to the scammer. The third variant has the scammer deposit the payment into your PayPal account with a stolen credit card or account. You ship the item, then learn of the issue when PayPal advises you the payment was fraudulent.

ALL! M I L A H SA

Depending on the situation, you may very well be liable for refunding the money. PayPal is a very safe and reliable option for people who wish to purchase items online safely and securely. PayPal does not ‘hold’ funds until some sort of confirmation is made, so any reference to

money being held until shipment is made is completely untrue. Legitimate buyers will want to see the item or arrange for someone to see it prior to the purchase. When selling items online, it’s best to deal with people in person and in cash. The Kamloops RCMP offers a Scam

Information Line where you can report potential scams and receive information about this and other scams. Call the information line at 250-8283266 or email silk@ rcmp-grc.gc.ca. The preceding is part of a series of informational articles aimed at

increasing public awareness about the services provided by the Kamloops Victim Services Unit. The unit offers a variety of information and services, at no cost, to any victim or witness of crime or trauma. All unit members have received specialized comprehensive training in victims’

issues, the criminaljustice system and crisis-intervention techniques. The unit is located at the main Kamloops RCMP detachment at 560 Battle St. in the downtown core. Victim Services operates 24 hours a day, seven days a week, and may be accessed by calling 250-828-3223.

GLOBAL VIEWS In the Tuesday, Sept. 4, edition of KTW, global-affairs columnist Gwynne Dyer wrote about the Arctic from a strategic viewpoint now that navigating the north has become easier with the ice melting.Today, Dyer looks at the melt from a climate impact.

The unknown unknown Examining Arctic sea ice and its connection to climate

T’S NO surprise we will have a record minimum of ice cover in the Arctic Ocean at the end of this summer-melt season. It’s already down to around four-million square kilometres, with a least another week of melting to go, but this is what you might call a “known unknown”. Scientists knew we were losing the ice cover fast; they just didn’t know how fast. I’m no fan of Donald Rumsfeld, who helped to lead the United States into the disastrous invasion of Iraq when he was George W. Bush’s defence secretary, but I never had a problem with the distinction he made between “known unknowns” and “unknown unknowns” when discussing the intelligence data. He was brutally mocked in the media for using such jargon, but there really is a difference. A “known unknown”, in the case of the Arctic Ocean, is how long it will be before the entire sea is ice-free at the end of each summer. The last report of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), published in 2007, talked about that happening some time in the second half of this century, but it couldn’t be more specific. The IPCC usually underestimates the rate of climatic change, but even the pessimists didn’t think we would get there before the 2030s. I did encounter one maverick at the National Ice and Snow Data Centre who thought it might happen in this decade, but

GWYNNE DYER World WATCH nobody actually knew — a “known unknown” in other words. There were also some assumptions about what would happen next in the Arctic. At first, the ice would return each winter, although it would be thinner and less extensive than before. However, as time passed, the ice-free period would get longer. A frozen ocean reflects sunlight back into space, but open water absorbs it and turns it into heat, so the ocean itself would now be getting warmer. The warmer water would inhibit the growth of ice even in winter and, eventually, the Arctic Ocean would be ice-free all year round — but nobody knew when this would happen. As for the impact an ice-free Arctic Ocean might have on climates elsewhere, it would obviously accelerate the global-warming trend but, beyond that, there wasn’t much to go on. This was the territory of the “unknown unknowns” — big things might happen to the complex atmospheric system of the planet when a major chunk of it suddenly changes, but nobody knew what. Now we begin to see the consequences. The polar jet stream, an air current that circles the globe

in the higher northern latitudes and separates cold, wet weather to the north from warmer, drier weather to the south, is changing its behaviour. In a paper in Geophysical Letters last March entitled Evidence linking Arctic amplification to extreme weather in mid-latitudes, Jennifer Francis of Rutgers University and Stephen Vavrus of the University of Wisconsin-Madison offered a hypothesis that may explain why world grain prices have risen 30 per cent in the past four months (and are still going up). First, a warmer Arctic reduces the temperature gradient between the temperate and polar zones. That, in turn, slows the wind speeds in the zone between the two and increases the “wave amplitude” of the jet stream. The jet stream flows around the planet in great swooping curves, like a river crossing a flat plain, and those curves — Rossby waves, in scientific language — are getting bigger and slower. The bigger amplitude means the Rossby waves reach farther down into the temperate zone than they used to, and the slower winds means the waves take more time to track across any given territory. The weather north of the jet stream is wet and cold (even warmer Arctic air is still pretty cold) and to the south it is dry and warm — and now many temperate regions of the planet are stuck in one kind of weather or the other for much longer periods. This is a recipe for extreme weather.

In the old days, the Rossby waves went past fast, bringing the alternation of rainy and sunny weather that characterized the midlatitude climate. Now they hang around much longer and generate more extreme weather events. There are droughts and heat-waves, or prolonged rain and flooding, or blizzards and long, hard freezes. The temperate zone has been seeing a lot of that sort of thing in the past couple of years — much more than usual. It’s cutting deeply into food production in the major breadbaskets of the planet, like the U.S. Midwest and southern Russia, which is why food prices are going up so fast. And, this was an “unknown unknown” — nobody saw it coming. All the scenarios the military of various countries were working with assumed climate change would hit food production very hard in the tropical and subtropical parts of the world, and that is still true. But, the scenarios also assumed the temperate regions of the planet would still be able to feed themselves well (and even have a surplus to export) for many decades to come. If Francis and Vavrus are right, that may not be the case. It’s a most unwelcome surprise — and it may be the first of many.

Help RIH get in focus for centennial One hundred years ago, on Sept. 14, 1912, Royal Inland Hospital opened at its current location on Columbia Street. To help mark the centennial, Royal Inland is planning a large-scale time-exposure photo shoot, dubbed The Big Picture. Staff, physicians, volunteers and the public are invited to bring a flashlight or photo flash bulbs to the hospital on Friday, Sept. 14 at 8 p.m. to help light up various parts of the hospital’s exterior, visually painting the building with light. Members of the Kamloops Photo Arts Club will be shooting from a nearby roof for a 60-second time exposure. The resulting photo will be available to participants digitally as a keepsake and will be framed and displayed in the hospital.

For more information or to register, call 250314-2100 (ext. 2230). On-site parking will be free from 7:30 p.m. to 9:30 p.m. for this event.

COMMUNITY On Monday, Sept. 10, World Suicide Prevention Day events will take place across Canada and around the world to promote suicide awareness and prevention. This year, the Canadian Association for Suicide Prevention (CASP) has chosen the theme All Together— Promoting Resilience in Families and Communities to mark World Suicide Prevention Day.

Suicide Prevention Day nears In Canada suicide claims the lives of more than 3,500 people each year. In 2010, more than 450 deaths in B.C. were attributed to suicide. Hospitalization due to selfharming and suicidal behaviours is even more common. In 2010 and 2011, there were over 2,800 self-inflicted injuries that required hospitalization in B.C., with some involving children as young as 10 years old. Not only are the emotional impacts of suicide widespread affecting millions of Canadians, including family, friends and communities, the financial impact is also significant. In the 2010-2011financial year, the direct health-care costs associated with suicide and suicide attempts in B.C. were more than $20 million. “There are many things communities can do to prevent suicide,” said Jenny Turco, community health facilitator with the Interior Health Authority. “Recognizing the signs of

suicide and creating suicide-safer communities are key to helping people at risk.” On Monday, Sept. 10, World Suicide Prevention Day events will take place across Canada and around the world to promote suicide awareness and prevention. This year, the Canadian Association for Suicide Prevention (CASP) has chosen the theme All Together – Promoting Resilience in Families and Communities to mark World Suicide Prevention Day. The theme All Together is both an invitation and a challenge for every segment of society to become involved and work together to support suicide prevention at home, in the community and in the workplace by encouraging open conversation. The CASP has resources available online at suicideprevention.ca to support suicide prevention. “It’s important communities address the issue openly so that people at risk feel comfortable speaking up and seeking help from someone they can trust,” Turco

said. The launch of the Interior Crisis Line Network this past year means all Interior Health Authority residents now have around-the-clock access to telephone support when they need assistance managing personal concerns. The toll free number is 1-888353-CARE (2273). CARE stands for: • C — confidential telephonebased crisis line services; • A – accessible across the Southern Interior every hour of every day of the year; • R — resources for you, in your community; • E — empowering support for all concerns. Help is also available for those who are feeling suicidal through local mental-health and substanceuse services, family physicians and hospitals. Many communities also offer suicide survivor-support groups. Websites such as crisiscentre. bc.ca and youthinbc.com are also available.

MORTGAGE MATTERS Planning a Purchase? Know the FIVE C’s of Borrowing Money Purchasing a home is a major decision; it represents the single largest purchase a family will ever make. So when it comes to qualifying for home ﬁnancing, what should you know? Here are the 5 C’s important to the bank: Capital – How much do you have to put down for the purchase of your new home? The larger the down payment, the less risk you present to the lender. 5% is the normal down payment required to purchase a home in Canada. However, if your credit is good, there are a few lenders who can gift you the down payment in return for a higher mortgage interest rate. Having no down payment is not always a limitation. Capacity – Is your income sufﬁcient to support the repayment of the requested loan amount? Most lenders will allow about 40% of your income to go towards housing costs and debt. The housing and debt calculation looks like this: monthly debt payments plus housing costs plus heat plus ½ strata fees if applicable must be under 40% of gross income. Be aware: Monthly debt payments includes: car loan, credit card, lease payments, etc. Housing costs include mortgage and taxes for all your properties Heat is usually estimated between $85 to $100 per month

Credit – Is the financial institution confident that you will pay them back? Credit is the evaluation of your habits when it comes to borrowing. If you have never taken out a loan or used a credit card, you may be surprised to find out you have no credit rating at all! A credit check reports your credit history and provides a numerical score based on your habits of borrowing and repaying debt (0 to 900, 900 is best). Collateral – Will the real estate purchase offer suitable collateral to the lender? In the event of a default, the lender will sell your collateral to recoup their loan plus foreclosure expenses. So, lenders will do their homework to ensure the property is in good condition with good resale value. They may not always agree with your purchase price. In some cases, lenders will require an appraisal. Character – What kind of impression do you make? Character is your reputation and reliability. The bank may not have had prior dealings with you, so how do they determine your character? The lender will often look at your: •Assets/ Debt/ Net worth – How have you spent your earnings? What do you have to show for it? •Educational background and work experience People with a transient job history or address history are seen as less reliable than someone who has been in a home or job for 20 years.

THIS WEEK

By Dale Bass STAFF REPORTER dale@kamloopsthisweek.com

There were little things that made Patricia Ballentyne wonder. She would sometimes have trouble walking up the stairs. Sitting on the floor, playing with her grandchildren, she’d have trouble getting up again. There was a slight tremor in her face and, later, a bit of a droop on one side. And, there was the knowledge her mother had been diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease when she was 80. Parkinson’s isn’t easy to diagnose; there is no definitive test for it. Ballentyne was seen by a neurologist who started by removing some of the medications she was on for other ailments because they could mimic Parkinson’s symptoms. At first, the tremor and movement challenges started to go but came back again. Eventually, about 18 months ago, she was given the diagnosis. It’s a degenerative disease that has no cure and progresses slowly. Basically, it attacks receptors in the brain that control movement, Ballentyne said — she’s now sure she had it for several years and confident at least half of the affected brain cells had been destroyed before she was diagnosed. She’s in the early stage of the disease

and finds that “sometimes the messages [from her brain] go through and sometimes they don’t.” She can go for a walk and all seems normal but, then, she’ll get pain in her legs and her gait slows substantially. Her right leg drags and her foot pronates inward and her right arm doesn’t move as it should. Through it all, Ballentyne said, she tries to face each day positively. “If I walk slow, so what?” Fuelling her attitude is a deep faith in God and a belief that she has a role to play because of the disease. It’s just another dimension to her life, she said, and a way to reach out to others. It’s why she’s agreed to be the honorary Superwalk Walker for the Kamloops fundraising event this weekend. “I’m an ambassador for a group of people struggling with a disease that has such an impact on their lives,” she said. Ballentyne takes two drugs to combat the symptoms of the disease — and it was a struggle to find the right medications. One she was prescribed left her sleeping most of the time, while another left her nauseous daily. At first, she was reluctant to get involved with a Parkinson’s support group that meets monthly because “I didn’t want to see where I was going,” but now, she’s attending them. X See CAREGIVERS C5

Cadets, ﬁreﬁghters help at walk involved when her fatherin-law was diagnosed, said she senses there is more interest in the disease, perhaps because of the attention it has received since actor Michael J. Fox was diagnosed. An estimated 110,000 people have been diagnosed with it in B.C., Dymond said, “so there are plenty of people here in Kamloops who have it.” A key component of the walk is a silent auction, an

KAMLOOPS

aspect that was introduced last year to attract people who may not want to or be able to walk. Items include spa and golf packages, as well as art by local artists. The Kamloops Mounted Patrol and firefighters from Firehall 1 will be in attendance, and members of the Black Maria cadets will help people who need assistance doing the walk. Registration is at 10 a.m., and the walk starts at 11 a.m.

ARTS & ENTERTAINMENT The Jezabels have left their hometown of Sydney, Australia, to embark on a Canadian tour that includes a show in Kamloops on Monday, Sept. 10.

Jezabels use music to look at ‘self’ Australian band The Jezabels makes a stop in Kamloops on Monday, Sept. 10, for a show at the Blue Grotto, 319 Victoria St. The indie-pop band, which has been compared in sound to Arcade Fire and Cyndi Lauper, says its influences include David Bowie, The Killers and Shakespeare’s Sister. KTW contacted the band members, Hayley McGlone (vocals), Heather Shannon (piano) Nik Kaloper (drums) and Sam Lockwood (guitar), by email for a bit of information about it. McGlone replied. • Tell me a bit

about how the band was created. How do you know each other? Heather and I met in primary school and started writing folky/ emo acoustic songs together in high school. When we moved to Sydney. we started rehearsing with Sam and Nik, which made it more of an ‘indie’/band sound. Our first show was the Sydney University band competition, in which we came second. I guess that was enough encouragement to persist and, eventually give up our day jobs. • What can people who attend the show

expect? We will play some of our songs, probably dressed in black with a decent amount of emotional sincerity. We will not be taking requests. • What is the thread that links your three EPs? A rather dramatic, slightly satirical exploration of gender and other kinds of oppressive, sometimes intangible structures in one’s life. For example, the ‘self’. • Where did the name come from? It is a contemporary feminist reclaiming of the name of a queen of Israel, who may have

been misrepresented in Judeo-Christian and patriarchal history since the Old Testament and who is known now, generally, for lending her name to women of the night and associated establishments. This, like some of the other answers I have given, sounds like a bit of a wank. Perhaps it is, but it is also true. • I’m guessing winning the $30,000 Australian Music Prize earlier this year came along at a good time? There is never a bad time for awards and cash. We continue to be

grateful for the AMP and welcoming of any other awards or cash people may wish to send our way. Opening for the band is Wake Owl, an indie folk band from Vancouver. Admission is $10 at the door.

Back to school with his new lap top!

STUDENT OF THE MONTH “I began selling Student 1st chocolates 6 months ago. The youth program has helped me with better communication, being more conﬁdent with people in face to face scenarios. It has also helped me gain a grade point in school because of my new math skills. Since starting I have enjoyed spending money as well as learning to manage money. It felt great buying gifts for my family last Christmas without asking help with cash. Having a new laptop is awesome and I believe it will enhance my learning in school. I am very grateful for the job skills I have aquired selling Student 1st chocolate and I feel that the experience gained here will help me in life. Thanks for the opportunity and I am very gratefull for the awesome new laptop. I think Gary has been a great role model for young people.”

“You go through a grieving process and that’s normal,” Ballentyne said, “but, you can learn from others, too.” The group meets on the third Wednesday of each month at 1 p.m. at Desert Gardens Community Centre, 540 Seymour St.

The mother of four girls and grandmother to seven, Ballentyne said she’s not sure if her children have thought much about the genetic component to the disease. Her daughters and her husband are her caregivers, a role Ballentyne said often goes unheralded, but is vital.

“They have a huge role. They have a draining role. “Often, they are watching their loved ones deteriorate.” Her family is willing “to walk alongside me through this. “As time goes on, you realize it’s a dayby-day process,” she said, “and I have to take it one day at a time.”

TRAVEL

From Newfoundland to France, by ferry By Karoline Cullen SPECIAL TO KTW travelwriterstales.com

“

After our week in Newfoundland,” I tell friends “we’ll take the ferry to France.” They nod enthusiastically and then confusion clouds their faces. “A ferry to France from Canada?” they ask. Absolutement! The French islands of Saint-Pierre et Miquelon are a short ferry ride from southeast Newfoundland. How French are they? We are about to find out. On a bright morning, we sail from Fortune, N.L., on the M.V. Arethusa. Ninety minutes later, with passports stamped and Euros in our wallets, we are in France. Jacques Cartier claimed the islands for France on his second voyage in 1536. The first settlers arrived in the late 1600s and fishing has been the mainstay ever since.

However, during American Prohibition, another industry blossomed. Large stocks of Canadian whiskey, legally exported and warehoused on SaintPierre, were bought by American rum-runners, including Al Capone. Hundreds of thousands of cases were sold each month and it was a prosperous time for the islanders. In the main square are benches, a fountain and a merry-go-round. Its cheery colours are only outdone by the vibrant paint combinations on some houses. Immediately, we feel an atmosphere reminiscent of Brittany in northwest France. We dodge a few French-made, not available in Canada Citroen cars zooming around the square and head uphill to our hotel. Our base camp is the Nuits Saint-Pierre, a boutique hotel run by the engaging Patricia, a sixth-generation SaintPierrite. Down the hall from

our elegantly appointed room is a kitchen for guests and a basket of croissants beckons. In short order, we have emptied steaming cups of tea and have a tabletop littered with crumbs from the flaky buns. Thus fortified, we set out to explore. As in so many European villages, wandering and absorbing the atmosphere is highly satisfying. Guarding the harbour is an arc of cannons, relics from years of conflict between the British and the French. Les Salines, a row of colourful sheds used to store fishing equipment, runs along the water. The church has door handles in the shape of fish and its bell tolls regularly. Cats languidly guard their doorsteps. Most of the small yards are festooned with yellow blooming weeds which, being French, still manage to look good against brightly painted houses. The viewpoint over-

The main square of Saint-Pierre is a quaint reminder of France. BELOW: One of the semi-wild horses that can be seen on the island. Karoline Cullen photos

looking the town offers a panorama of the marina, the harbour and densely packed houses hugging the coastline. Hotly contested games of boules are played in a gravel square. Shop signs are in French. While fresh foods are mostly imported from Canada, staples and goods are brought over from France. Having worked up appetites, we happily discover dinner menus are much more varied than what we saw in rural Newfoundland. The cooking is definitely French and holds up well to the standards set in the Mother country. And, that brusque attitude for which French waiters are famous? There’s a bit of that here, too. The next day, I am on a ferry, squinting through the fog at the shoreline. I am going for a day trip to the neighbouring islands of Miquelon and Langlade with Marie and Jacques, a couple of ardent wildlife photographers. The ferry quay buzzes with activity as we disembark. Miquelon has a small town centre where we stop for picnic provisions before checking out a couple of viewpoints. The landscape is

treed up in the hills, but scrubby brush covers the lower hillsides. A long isthmus connects Miquelon to Langlade and the road seems in danger of being overtaken either by sand or sea. Langlade is a sparsely populated summer retreat. We take a zodiac out on a lagoon to photograph lounging grey seals. Hiking over grasscovered dunes, we spot wild flowers, bird watch and pass groups of semi-wild horses. They range over the island most of the yea, but are housed and fed in the winters. Speaking of being fed, is there anything better than a French picnic? With a view over the marsh, we contentedly munch our baguette sandwiches, sip some wine and savour the solitude. Besides baguettes and cheese and wine, the French do tea very well. In her tea salon, Lés Delices de Joséphine, Patricia’s joie de vivre comes through as she greets customers. Named for the woman who constructed the building in 1939, the salon has a casual flair in a contemporary setting. We can attest to the deliciousness of the pastries. Both the food and

the ambience of SaintPierre et Miquelon definitively settle the question of how French these islands are. The answer is very!

FAITH

Evangelism encompasses all — and all of life

ESUS WAS NOT ONLY GODCONSCIOUS, BUT GODPOSSESSED. He saw people — the poor, the enslaved, the blind and the oppressed — as God saw them. He felt for them as God felt. He dedicated himself to do for them what God would do. From this stance came the noblest evangelism mission in history. We ought to be wary of any evangelism that in manner, method, or spirit contraNARAYAN MITRA dicts what Christ You Gotta Have said or did. FAITH We ought not to be content with any that omits what he said and did. The evangelism of Christ was all-encompassing. Its concern was with all classes. It had a message for the rich and the poor, the cultured and the uncouth, the exploiter and the exploited. The common people heard him gladly, for sure, but the uncommon could not ignore

him either. The rulers did not follow him up and down the dusty roads of Galilee but, seated on their political or ecclesiastical thrones, they knew he meant them and confronted them with an inescapable choice. It was evangelism for all ages. The organization Youth for Christ did not begin in Indiana, neither did Inter-Varsity Christian Fellowship in Toronto, but across the Sea of Galilee, when some self-important adults tried to steer children away from Jesus. He reached out his arms and bade them come. Hobbling ages also felt the spell of his message and responded. Evangelism of and by Jesus was for all areas of life. It not only taught men to pray with reverence, but rebuked them when their rapacity preyed upon their fellow men. No stronger words were ever spoken about justice than were incorporated in Jesus’ memorable utterance in Matthew 23:23: “Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you tithe mint and dill and cumin, and have neglected the weightier provisions of the law: justice and mercy and faithfulness. “But these are the things you should have done without neglecting the others. Who can ever forget his story of the unjust judge and his arresting question: “Will not God bring about justice for His

elect who cry to Him day and night, and will He delay long over them?” (Luke 18:7) No fair interpretation can evade the social implications of such language. To assume Jesus was concerned with souls only and not with systems and practices which tortured souls is to reveal a blindness that refuses to see what is obvious to anyone who will open the eyes of his mind. It was an evangelism of bread and butter, as well as of the spirit. It was concerned with men’s bodies, with their aches and pains, as well as their aspirations. It spoke to men’s minds with a clarity and insight that centuries has not dimmed. It spoke to men’s hearts with warmth and understanding. The human heart was never in such safe hands as when Jesus was near. It spoke to men’s wills. It was not an orgy of emotionalism, not a futile sentimentalism, but a pattern and preparation for action. Here are the ways of true Christian evangelism. By Christ are we in this confused and confusing era summoned to a new breadth of concern and appeal. True evangelism recognizes that both the “drop-outs” and the “upwardly mobiles” need the gospel.

Some of the loneliest and most wretched people in the world are in the upper-income brackets. For the most part, we are not reaching them with the gospel. Sometimes we seem not to care for them. Sometimes we think them beyond the reach of our message. When we are in their presence our tongues seem to be palsied. We tend to talk about everything else but Christ and his message of love for them. We are overawed by the glamour of the external and fail to sense the internal famines from which they suffer. What is worse, we have not intelligent strategy for reaching them. Too frequently, our method has been flight rather than quest. We have not evangelized; we have evaporated and disappeared. Unless we are as broad as human needs are, we are too narrow for Christ’s cause. narayanmitra@hotmail.com KTW welcomes submissions to its Faith page. Columns should be between 600 and 800 words in length and include a headshot of the author, along with a short bio on the writer. Submissions can be sent via email to editor@kamloopsthisweek.com.
