IRONMAN RACING TO KAMLOOPS?

THURSDAY

The city is vying with Kelowna and, possibly, Vernon, to be the new home to the world-famous Ironman Canada triathlon. The event — which sends the top 100 finishers to the Ironman World Championship in Hawaii — was for years held in Penticton, but the South Okanagan city has decided to partner with another triathlon group, beginning next summer.

A century later, time capsule reveals . . . By Andrea Klassen STAFF REPORTER andrea@kamloopsthisweek.com

Royal Inland Hospital employees Robyn Woods (left), Sherri Morrish and Cindy Teufele hold artifacts from a time capsule on display during the annual staff appreciation barbecue on Wednesday, Sept. 19. The time capsule — with material from 1911 and 1980 — will have several new items added to it before being reinserted in the hospital wall behind the 1911 cornerstone, for future generations to discover in the coming decades. RIH turned 100 years old this month. Dave Eagles/KTW

When maintenance staff cut away the wall behind the Royal Inland Hospital’s cornerstone, they weren’t sure what they would find. For a couple of weeks, Interior Health communications officer Erin Toews had been working to track down a time capsule installed when the hospital was first being raised on Columbia Street in 1911. Though the capsule had been opened once before — back in 1980, when a new seven-storey tower was added to the building — the hospital hadn’t kept track of where it was being kept. An old newspaper article had suggested the cornerstone as a possible location and turned out to be correct. “We were filled with anticipation,” Toews said. “Really, we were. It’s this big, old, metal box and we had no idea what was going to be in it.” While there was no medical equipment in the box, the capsule’s origi-

nal creators added a program of local events in 1911 held in honour of the coronation of King George V, which included a five-mile marathon with a top prize of $10. Also in the capsule was a list of the hospital’s board of directors, medical officers, members of the Ladies’ Auxiliary and others involved in its operation at the time, all written out in neat calligraphy. Sixty-nine years later, in 1980, a similar list was added — but typed, this time — along with a Kami the Fish commemorative coin and pictures of former mayor Mike Latta and the remaining portions of the original building, which have since been demolished. When the capsule is re-sealed and tucked back behind the stone in a couple of weeks, it will contain its first pieces of medical technology. Going in along with the hip prosthesis and other tools are short descriptions of each item, which Toews imagines will be obsolete should the box be cracked open again in 2112.

GoSango leaves city retailers with ﬁnancial losses By Tim Petruk STAFF REPORTER tim@kamloopsthisweek.com

A number of Kamloops businesses burned by the collapse of a Kelowna-based group-buying website are encouraging their clients to seek compensation through creditcard companies. “I think the worst part is trying to be diplomatic about it with my customers and trying to keep them happy,” said Angela Veltri, owner of the Kamloops location

For now, Veltri said, she plans to honour the certificates regardless. “It’s $100 they spent,” she said. “I’d like them to get their services.” That’s not the case with other Kamloops businesses left holding the bag after GoSango’s collapse. “I don’t think it’s fair that we should have to honour it,” said Mia Sheldon, office manager at Pogue Mahone Irish Alehouse. “But, I feel bad for

the whole situation.” Like Kix 4 Chix, Sheldon said Pogue Mahone is encouraging GoSango customers who bought their twofor-one gift certificates to seek compensation through their credit-card companies. While she wouldn’t put a number on it, Sheldon said the pub’s losses were nowhere near the $5,000 claim by Kix 4 Chix. “It’s not significant enough to worry about,” she said. “But, we’re left holding the bag. It’s just a bad thing. To me, it smells like fraud.” Last week, GoSango owner Michael Minor announced the company’s business assets had been purchased by Smart Betty, another Kelowna-based company. Minor also said the businesses waiting for payment from GoSango would “be paid out in trust by our law firm over the coming weeks.”

GoSango ended up selling more than 100 of the packages, bringing in more than $10,000 — money that was supposed to be split down the middle with Veltri. That puts her out $5,000.

THIS WEEK At Second Glance Books owner Pat DiFrancesco explains the reasons behind the store’s upcoming closure during a press conference at the well-known downtown used bookstore on Wednesday, Sept. 19. Dave Eagles/KTW

Sport Mart to close, re-open with new brand By Tim Petruk STAFF REPORTER tim@kamloopsthisweek.com

Final chapter for popular used bookstore By Dale Bass STAFF REPORTER dale@kamloopsthisweek.com

Things have happened in Pat DiFrancesco’s life that have changed its course. Like planning to leave her home in Perth, Ont., to visit her daughter in Vancouver. That led to sending out emails to people asking if they’d be interested in showing her around the province. Which led to her meeting David DiFrancesco, who she married six days later. It helped that, when inviting her to stay at his house the night she arrived, he slept on the couch. “So that was big brownie points,” Pat said. It also helped that the marriage commissioner she called had the same first two names as Pat does. After moving to Kamloops, Pat went into Avalon Books on the North Shore. She called David to pick her up and, when she told him where she was, he said: “I just had a flash of you owning a bookstore.” It was an image Pat could also see, she said this week as she announced she will be closing At Second Glance Books within the

next two months. “Blame it on Nancy Drew,” she said. “I was a military brat and we moved a lot, so books were my friend. And, as the oldest of five kids, they were my escape.” She found an empty storefront in the 200block of Victoria Street and, to figure out the viability of a store, she sat at the patio of Kelly O’Bryan’s restaurant and counted the number of people who walked by. “If there were 10 people, I figured two would come into the store and one would buy something, so that’s how I decided,” Pat said. The first incarnation of the store — it later moved to the 400-block of Victoria — had one row of bookshelves cutting the 1,000 square feet in half. On one side was the area for stock, on the other is where she would display the books. That was the first stumbling block. “When I started, I didn’t have any books,” Pat said this week, surrounded by what she estimates is more than 100,000 of them. “I put signs up on the window with little tear-offs with my phone number asking for books. Someone at Kelly O’Bryan’s had a friend with a basement full of books she wanted to get rid of.

“That was about 6,000 books.” A man from Merritt with a similar basement full of books wanted to pare down his collection and, half a U-Haul later, another 20,000 tomes joined the inventory. “And, I went to every yard sale and secondhand store and flea market,” Pat said. But, after contemplating it for the past couple of years — and more seriously in recent months — Pat said she realizes the world is changing. “I do it, too. There was a time when you wanted to find out something and you’d go to a book but, now, you open a browser and you have more information than you know what to do with.” So it is with books and electronic readers, she said. There’s no definite timetable for shutting down, other than a goal of the end of November. In the meantime, there will be sales — “two for one, three for one, four for one, five for one, whatever it takes,” she said. Then the doors will be closed and Pat will have time to do something she hasn’t done much in the 13 years At Second Glance has existed. “I’ll finally have time to read some books myself.”

A sporting-goods retail chain that got its start in Kamloops nearly three decades ago is shutting down for good — but don’t expect the company’s extinction to leave a void in the equipment market. Sport Mart, originally owned by the Jardine family, opened its first store in Kamloops in 1984. The chain quickly grew across B.C., Alberta, Saskatchewan, Manitoba and Ontario, and was purchased by the Alberta-based Forzani Group in 2001. Last year, Forzani — which also operated Sport Chek, Atmosphere and Athlete’s World — was purchased by Canadian Tire. Two months ago, the Canadian retail giant announced “an accelerated growth strategy” focusing on expanding the Sport Chek and Atmosphere brands. Sport Mart’s stores across Canada will be shut down, but many — including the Kamloops location at Columbia Street and Summit Drive — will be rebranded as either a Sport Chek or Atmosphere standalone location. Sport Mart’s Kamloops location employs 18 people, four of them full-time. In 2006, the store moved to Summit Centre after spending a decade inside Sahali Centre Mall. Prior to Interior Savings Credit Union purchasing the naming rights in 2005, Interior Savings Centre — originally Riverside Coliseum — was known as Sport Mart Place. The Kamloops store’s fulltime staff is expected to be retained.

NE WS & NOTES FROM CIT Y HALL

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

Westsyde could see new pipeline route By Andrea Klassen STAFF REPORTER andrea@kamloopsthisweek.com

While Kinder Morgan wants its expanded Trans Mountain pipeline to follow its current route as much as possible, Westsyde is one place where it could make an exception. Greg Toth, project manager for the proposed expansion, appeared before Kamloops city council this week to discuss the company’s plans to more than double the pipeline’s capacity by 2017. The current 1,150-kilometre line carries up to 300,000 barrels of heavy and light crude oil, gasoline and diesel from Alberta to B.C.’s coast per day. If the expansion goes ahead, that would increase to 750,000 barrels per day. An application for the project has yet to be filed with the National Energy Board and Toth stressed the project is still in its early stages. But, he said, the company is aware Westsyde residents have concerns about the expansion of a pipeline that already runs through their backyards and across The Dunes Golf Course. Toth said there are a number of spots on the Trans Mountain route that have been built up since the original pipeline was laid in the 1950s, and in those areas the company will try to impact landowners as little as possible. “The Westsyde area is an obvious one, where the pipeline was constructed and development has taken place around the pipeline,” he said. “So, we’ll be looking at options won’t impact the residents.” Other local concerns include installing pipe under the Thompson River without disturbing the environment and

the line’s proximity to the proposed Ajax copper and gold mine. Toth said Kinder Morgan has been in talks with the mine’s proponents and will need to see how blasting plans and vibrations from the site would impact the line. While exact routing will come later, Toth said the general plan for the Kamloops area is to re-activate a small segment of pipe north of the city, then install new 30-inch pipe starting at Black Pines and running through the city. Kamloops would also get a new pumping station and twin pumps would be added at Black Pines. He estimated the expansion would see the city receive more than $1 million extra in taxes — about doubling what it gets now — and would also see Kamloops benefit from economic spinoffs over the two years the new line will be built. Construction, estimated to cost $4.1 billion ($2.6 billion of which would be spent in B.C.) would require about 3,200 workers, Toth said. “Kamloops I see as a central hub. We haven’t evolved our construction planning very far yet, but we will need service support,” he said, noting the company spent about $40 million at local businesses during its last expansion project in the Jasper area in 2008. The company hopes to have an application to the National Energy Board in 2014 and is planning community-information meetings across the province leading to that. Kamloops will likely get an open house some time in November and, as with the Enbridge’s Northern Gateway review, part of the official hearing will likely take place in the city, Toth said.

Land Conservancy gets tax exemption An undeveloped grassland is one of four properties gaining permissive-tax exemption from the City of Kamloops for a threeyear period, beginning in 2013. The city normally requires non-profit groups to own and occupy the land in order to get an exemption, but revenue and taxation manager Marlie Worrin said that policy is in place to prevent tax breaks from going to land intended for resale. In the case of 501 Todd Rd., the lot is held by The Land Conservancy of B.C., which acquires land of ecological, cultural or recreational value in

order to protect it. City council also agreed to grant exemptions to the Kamloops Cariboo Regional Immigrant Society for its Tranquille Road building, the Canadian

Mental Health Association for its property at 207 Victoria St. and the Kamloops Elks Lodge No. 44 for the administration and meeting spaces in its 784B Victoria St. space.

Agencies join to provide seniorsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; housing By Andrea Klassen STAFF REPORTER andrea@kamloopsthisweek.com

When Kamloopsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; newest emergency shelter opened in the former Rendezvous Hotel, Canadian Mental Health Association (CMHA) executive director Doug Sage wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t sure women would want to stay there. While Emerald Centre contained more beds for women than the CMHA had offered in past â&#x20AC;&#x201D; up to 12 from eight â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Sage said he thought the siteâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s history as a strip joint and gang hangout might drive women away. Instead, there are arriving at the centre than ever, Sage told the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s co-ordinated enforcement task force at a meeting this week. And, lately, more are seniors. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a trend he expects to continue and one he and the Kamloops Seniors Outreach Society (SOS) are looking to do something to solve.

The two groups are in negotiations to take over operation of Westsydeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Cariboo Manor to offer housing to low-income and at-risk seniors. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s housing thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s supportive so, for seniors who can manage somewhat on their own, but they get the supports of meals and housekeeping,â&#x20AC;? said SOS executive director Suzan Goguen. Housing services for at-risk seniors is a relatively new part of SOS programming, but the society already uses two CMHA suites to provide emergency housing to its clients. While the new plan isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t finalized yet, Goguen said the organizations hope to be running Cariboo Place by October. From there, they hope to expand services on the site, which currently offers housing for up to 12 residents. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a large piece of property so, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re hoping to add to what is there to meet the need in the

community,â&#x20AC;? she said. Sage said a lack of affordable housing is the chief reason seniors end up at Emerald Centre. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not about drug addiction or sex-trade work. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s just simple economics,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t afford the housing theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re in, especially if they are stay-at-home wives their whole lives â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and that generation frequently has been. Their husbands die and they lose pension benefits and they lose income and they canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t sustain themselves.â&#x20AC;? While he couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t speak to specific numbers, Sage said the number of seniors using CMHA shelters is about double what it was a few years ago. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a trend thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going to continue as the population ages and as also seniors canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t afford the housing theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re in,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Their incomes are static, but their costs are going up.â&#x20AC;?

Homeless count happening in October Kamloopsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; annual homeless count will take place on Oct. 18 and Oct. 19 â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and, this year, it will be done a bit differently. The protocol to be used will be based on the one the province uses to try to standardize counts throughout B.C., said

Homelessness Action Plan co-ordinator Tangie Genshorek. That means a count in shelters one night and a count at other locations the following day, followed by a comprehensive report to the three levels of government and the public.

The last time a full report after the count was completed was in 2005, she said. Last yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s count found only 45 homeless people in the city, a number ASK Wellness Centre executive director Bob Hughes called remarkably low. Previous counts had

put the number closer to 100. Genshorek said the count has also brought in new partners, including the Kamloops Alliance Church, Kamloops Community Safety, the Tkâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;emlups Indian Band and the United Way Thompson Nicola Cariboo.

RCMP adds mental-health program, unit As RCMP Insp. Jennie Latham puts it, there are some Kamloopsians who â&#x20AC;&#x153;you could pretty much put their name on a cell because they visit us every week.â&#x20AC;? But, a new program launched by the Kamloops RCMP aims to get those repeat offenders to visit less often. Latham told a city police committee meet-

ing this week the social chronic-offender program will target people frequently picked up by police for incidences such as being drunk in public. Latham said those people tend to have underlying addictions or mental-health issues, which the program would work to address. So far, the RCMP has identified four who would qualify and

Latham thinks the list could grow to about 100. The RCMP is also rolling out a community partnership with Interior Health Authority to deal with mental-health issues. The mental health and crisis team will be composed of one Mountie and a mentalhealth nurse. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hoped the team will cut down on red tape and hours-long wait

times officers often face when they bring someone with mental-health issues to Royal Inland Hospital. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There will be somebody that will be there to provide appropriate care for these people,â&#x20AC;? Latham said. The team will also run internal education programs to get other members of the RCMP up to speed on mentalhealth issues.

Bookstore’s demise a symbolic moment in time

LSEWHERE IN THIS edition of KTW is a story on the demise of an iconic business in downtown Kamloops, a place that, if you love books, always made you feel at home. At Second Glance Bookstore will be closing its doors later this year, probably before the end of November. A fixture in Kamloops for 13 years, owner Pat DiFrancesco said it’s time. Books with that weight and feel and smell are finding it harder to compete with the digital world. Even DiFrancesco acknowledges that, if she wants to find information now, she’s more likely to call up a search engine than open a book. Listening to her talk about the impending closure made me feel a bit guilty, though. I’m not alone in this complicity, though. There are plenty other Kamloopsians out there who have bought Kindles, Kobos and other e-readers. We’re reading books online, listening to them on our MP3 player — all the while hammering one more nail into the coffin that holds the private bookstore industry. Now, truth be told, I still buy books. In fact, I’ve got paperback and hardcover versions of books I also have on my Kindle. I’ve got multiple copies of some books, the result of publishers repackage novels and me not being smart enough to remember that I bought that one and read it about 15 years ago. In fact, if you came into our house, you’d find a stack of books at the

DALE BASS Street

LEVEL top of the stairs, waiting to be taken downstairs to the shelves that are piled three and four levels high with books. There’s another stack in the middle of the kitchen table, books I just read — or, in many cases, reread — in the past couple of weeks. When we moved to B.C. from Ontario, the company hired to lug the belongings this family of seven were stunned to see the number of boxes of books to be transported. Apparently, our move was ranked as “way heavy.” The first trip we took to Vancouver after moving here was spent hunting down and then luxuriating in used bookstores. There are books on the shelves in the basement that I bought in high school — and I graduated years before Bill Gates got together with Paul Allen to come up with their first computer. So, why did I get a Kindle? The answer is simple. I love books and using a suitcase to lug them to the cabin every summer — a suitcase that was bigger than the one holding my clothes for the trip —

just seemed kind of dumb. It’s so much easier to have this wonderful electronic marvel that can hold dozens and dozens of books. I can head down to the dock at the lake with my sunscreen, my deck chair and my Kindle and spend hours reading. Yes, I know in doing so I’m just adding to the millions and millions of bucks sitting in the bank account of Amazon creator and CEO Jeff Bezos. That’s got to be a sizable chunk of change, given Amazon’s revenue last year was more than $47 billion. I’m going to miss At Second Glance. I’ll miss walking through the stacks and stacks of books with my head at a 45-degree angle, reading the titles. I’ll miss wandering into a section of books on a topic I’d normally not be interested in or about which I know little — and finding gems. I’ll miss bumping into friends there or just shimmying around other book lovers as we make our way around all those pages, trying not to trip on the stools and chairs scattered throughout the store. Local author Marg Archibald was in the crowd that gathered as DiFrancesco announced her intentions. Another book lover, she was a bit teary, even though she had heard days before of the closure. It was a symbolic moment, she said later, one of those moments when the world has changed so much and some things are over. That they’re gone — and that it is very sad. dale@kamloopsthisweek.com

The B.C. Liberals may be far behind the opposition NDP in the polls, but there are a few factors bubbling along — mostly under the surface — that may change their fortunes for the better by election day next May. The Liberals still face an uphill battle in getting re-elected. The NDP is polling well, getting roughly twice the support the Liberals are getting in recent polls. However, the most recent poll, which was published last week, showed the Liberals gaining a small amount of support, with the NDP slipping slightly. This is simply one poll and polling results are becoming less and less reliable, as the Alberta and Quebec elections this year have illustrated. However, the Liberals will do even better if the B.C. Conservatives, who have taken a significant amount of support away from them, falter. The Conservatives are holding a meeting this Saturday in Langley, and one item on the agenda is a confidence vote on John Cummins’ leadership. Should he not receive the backing of almost all the membership, the Conservatives will be thrown into chaos. While such a scenario seems unlikely, the Conservatives have a history of internal revolts and leadership dissatisfaction. If there is a significant split at the meeting, the Liberals will only gain. A third factor is Premier Christy Clark herself. While Clark has taken plenty of heat, she has a good ability to campaign and communicate and is an effective match for NDP leader Adrian Dix. This will be a significant factor as people make their minds up. Another factor is that Dix and his party have been in the lead (in the polls) for a long period. The NDP is releasing almost no policy information and this gap in information is causing more and more questions to be asked about the party’s actual agenda. Should this lack of information about what an NDP government would be likely to do continue into the winter months, the Liberals may see their fortunes rise even more. It is very likely that, by next spring, the BC Liberals and NDP will be much more competitive than they are at present.

Questioning Ajax’s suitability Editor: Every decision involving municipalities and their citizens across B.C. should directly reflect a clear understanding of what the potential risks are to the local environment. Short-term and long-term environmental implications must be taken into consideration as they will have an irreversible effect on the quality of life we take for granted, residing in one of the most beautiful locations in Canada. If environmental damages are a real threat, the negative economic effects will show through the lack of tourism revenue, including golfing, that is generated annually in this jurisdiction. Every citizen in Kamloops and the greater surrounding small municipalities should be granted the opportunity to answer and vote on the following two questions: 1) Is the establishment of the Ajax copper and gold mine necessary to ensure the economic stability and consistency of this municipality? 2) If found absolutely necessary,

are the environmental costs, short and long term, worth the job security (to the entire community) this mine would provide? I suspect the costs (recognized and unrecognized at present) to our beloved community would outweigh the small number of jobs this mine would create. Either way, environmental experts need to provide their expertise clearly and concisely before we move forward in either direction. As letter writer C. Schimpf stated previously, this is a foreign enterprise (Polish) eager to open this mine on city property. This is not where their executives send their children to school. This is not where their city parks exist. This is our home. Are we prepared for the consequences, be it positive or negative, this mine will bring? These are the questions that need to be discussed, validated and debated by every citizen living in the Kamloops area. Brenda L. A. Walsh Kamloops

Blazer boosters offer thanks to all Editor: A big thank you to Cooper’s Foods in Lansdowne Village for its wonderful contribution to our hotdog sale during season-ticket day at Interior Savings Centre on Sept. 14. A huge thank you also to the boys at Kal Tire — Cam, Steve, Doug and Rod — who brought the company’s

barbecue to ISC, cooked the hot dogs and served them to all the hungry Kamloops Blazer fans. It was a very successful event, held to raise money to help us purchase hampers for Christmas. Eileen Boelke On behalf of the Kamloops Blazers Booster Club

Editor: Has anyone been watching what’s going on in Ottawa lately? Does anybody care? The extreme fundamentalist Christian right is in the process of dismantling the Canada you know and love — right before your eyes. We now have the absurd situation of oil-sands developers — 70 per cent of which, by the way, are foreign-owned — deciding our environmental policies. Now we have the spectacle of our foreign policy being decided by Israel. I’m quite sure the Iranians are quaking in their boots at the thought of being disengaged from Prime Minister Stephen Harper and his blind defence of the apartheid Israeli state. However, we should all be quaking in our boots at Harper’s apparent infatuation with Israel. He just keeps pushing the buttons with the apparent desire to see some sort of response. That would put us squarely in the camp of mosthated nations and give him even more of an excuse to relieve you and yours of even more of those pesky rights, which you are just barely hanging on to. And, if you’re lucky, Harper may even let you sacrifice your son or daughter to prove his machoman image. We were a nation of peacekeepers once, remember? Today, we are fast becoming a warrior nation. Harper makes so-called trade deals and sells weapons to the most barbaric and violent countries on the planet. China and Columbia come to mind. It’s nice to see at least some in the Canadian media have figured it out. The attack on reason and science is not an accident. It is part of a religious ideology and dogma that says the rich are rich because God wants it that way. If you’re not very well off, it’s because God has decided not to bless you. Harper is in power because God wants him to be, so no need for the inconvenience of fairly run elections. The oil sands are there because God has blessed us with them and, if a pipeline leaks or a tanker leaks, don’t worry — it’s all a part of God’s plan for us. But, most importantly, Jesus can’t return until Israel holds power over the entire Middle East. I can hardly wait for that one. It’s the resurrection of the medieval heresy of antinomianism, the belief that, since I am saved, I can think or do no wrong, that my Christian faith cleanses me from sin whatever I choose to think or do. Is this really the Canada you want, a nation run by the Canadian version of the Tea Party? Bill Ligertwood director Kamloops Centre for Rational Thought kcfrt.com

YOUR OPINION

Big-box stores to beneﬁt the most Which is why I oppose the city’s business-licence reduction plan businesses, why should they get a reduction on all of their secondary licences? Because they operate all of their businesses under one roof? Well, if that’s the case, maybe we should extend this discount to all businesses under one roof in our malls. For example, every small shop in Aberdeen Mall would get to pay a secondarylicence fee rate. Or, maybe we could go a step further and reduce the fee for any business with another business next door. In that scenario, all of the downtown and North Shore Tranquille Market-area businesses would now be eligible to pay the secondarylicence fee rate. But, to be serious, it’s not the amount that matters here — it’s the principle. Why support a measure that makes things easier for (mainly foreign-owned) big-box stores, from which profits to their shareholders leave Kamloops? I would rather patronize and assist local entrepreneurs who are committed to the long-term sustainability of our community and who, in turn, spend their own hard-earned money here in Kamloops.

Kamloops wants to be home to Ironman Canada By Andrea Klassen STAFF REPORTER andrea@kamloopsthisweek.com

Kamloops is facing off against Kelowna again — this time in the race to take over hosting of Ironman Canada. Organizers of the long-distance triathlon are looking for a new Canadian home for the event, after longtime host Penticton parted

ways with the Ironman Canada organization this summer. Kamloops made the decision to enter a bid in a closed council meeting on Tuesday, Sept. 18, said Mayor Peter Milobar. If successful, the city would sign a five-year contract with the World Triathlon Corporation, which Milobar estimates would bring about $15 million worth of economic activity to the city.

The race typically attracts 3,000 participants, who Milobar said will spend the better part of a week in Kamloops. From that field, the top 100 finishers qualify for the Ironman World Championships, held annually in Hawaii. “It’s very major,” Milobar said. “A lot of them will want to get that competitive edge, so they’ll come six months out to train.”

The Ironman race includes three legs — a 3.86-kilometre swim, a 180-kilometre cycling route and a marathon-length, 42-kilometre run. On Monday, Sept. 17, Kelowna announced its intention to bid for the event, while Vernon’s council is expected to make a decision on Friday, Sept. 21, whether to join the two cities in vying to be host. While Milobar declined to say

what a Kamloops Ironman route might look like, or offer any specifics about the bid, another city councillor has offered his own incentive to bring the triathlon to the Tournament Capital. “If it comes to Kamloops, I’ll do it,” Coun.

Installing eight chargers for electric vehicles at Thompson Rivers University is a lot like the chicken and the egg story, according to Kamloops-North Thompson MLA Terry Lake. “Remember back in the 1980s and they were promoting propane for cars and people were doing that, but there was nowhere to fill up?” said Lake, who is also the province’s environment minister. “We want people to take up this technology so we’re trying to provide that infrastructure for it.” Thompson Rivers University is actually receiving money for 10 stations, with two stations going to its Williams Lake campus. The money comes from the $2.7-million Community Charging Infrastructure Fund and has so far seen 71 organizations approved for money to install 286 stations throughout the province. The fund provides 75 per cent

of the cost of the stations, up to $4,000 each. Christopher Seguin, vicepresident advancement for TRU, said: “There will be an increasing number of electric vehicles on the road in the future and TRU is a providing leadership in setting up infrastructure to encourage that trend, which will reduce global warming. “The electric-vehicle industry has two components: The vehicles themselves and the charging facilities necessary to service them. “By providing the charging stations, the university is making it more attractive for people to purchase electric vehicles and reduce our carbon footprint.” Lake said he expects faculty at the university to be the target for early adopters of electric cars. Seguin said the university doesn’t have statistics on the number of electric-powered cars on campus and Lake said he would be surprised if there are many because that type of alternative-

energy vehicle has just recently entered the Canadian auto market. Seguin added: “The idea is not only for our staff, etc., but visitors and community members attending events. “A reliable provincewide network will encourage people to purchase the vehicles knowing that they can recharge them at places like TRU.” Lake drives a hybrid Chevrolet Volt powered by gasoline and electricity. In the two months he has owned the Volt, Lake has been thrilled. “I plug it in at night and, in the morning, I can go 70 kilometres on electricity before it switches over to gas,” he said, noting that is something the car does for trips outside of Kamloops. “But, since I got it, I’ve been to Portland, to Vancouver, to Clearwater, to Lac Le Jeune and all over Kamloops and, in those two months, I’ve maybe spent $200 on gas.”

Wells Gray mass murderer denied parole By Kathy Michaels KELOWNA CAP NEWS editor@kelownacapnews.com

The man behind one of Canada’s most notorious mass murders will remain behind bars. The National Parole Board determined during a Tuesday, Sept. 18, hearing at Bowden prison, north of Calgary, that David Ennis is still a risk to society after 30 years of incarceration and not ready for release. Ennis, who was known by the name David Shearing when he murdered six members of the Johnson Bentley families in Wells Gary Provincial Park near Clearwater 1982, expressed regret and “shame” about his crimes, but was told he’d have to take programs aimed at rehabilitating violent sex offenders if he’s to gain release at his next hearing, which could be as early as two years from now. Although the verdict was what friends and family of the slain Westbank residents had been working toward for months, it wasn’t really cause for celebration. “It was a very emotionally draining day, but there was a huge sigh of relief at the end,” said Tammy Arishenkoff, a childhood friend of one of the girls that Ennis sexually assaulted and killed and a driving force behind the most recent effort to keep him behind bars. Around 20 advocates for the Johnson Bentley

families attended the hearing and were escorted to a chapel on the prison grounds where it took place. “We took our seats, and he was brought in,” Arishenkoff said, noting he never looked at them, but they did see his face as he passed. “He sat maybe 10 feet away from where we were . . . It’s the first time I’ve seen him, it’s not what I thought it would be.” Ariskenkoff, who was one of many who read a victim impact statement, has said Ennis’s violent act forever changed the way she and many other Westbank residents saw the world, and she dreaded seeing him in person. What she imagined and actually experienced, however, were two very different things. “It’s almost surreal. For 30 years we’ve had this picture of him, which came from that same file footage of him from 30 years ago…That man with black hair and a big nose,” she said. He still has the big nose, she said, but he’s 53 years old, so he wears the time that’s passed and he doesn’t have all the earmarks a childhood bogeyman may. “When he speaks, it’s not the voice that you’d expect a monster to have. He sounds like a soft-spoken, normal person,” she said. “And it was surreal seeing him do normal gestures, like scratching his arms. I kept thinking, these are the hands that brutally killed six people, these are the hands that did horrible, awful

things to my friend and her sister.” Arishenkoff said

she and the family also found it difficult to listen to him answer questions

about the crime he committed all those years ago.

In 1984 Ennis pleaded guilty to six counts of second-degree murder

and was sentenced to life in prison with no chance of parole for 25 years.

B.C. Conservative rivals square off at AGM By Tom Fletcher BLACK PRESS tfletcher@blackpress.ca

The B.C. Conservative Party annual general meeting this weekend is heading toward a showdown over leadership. The party, which laboured in the political wilderness for years, gained traction after former Delta MP John Cummins became leader in May 2011, rising as high as 20 per cent in recent opinion polls. Now, some party members want to challenge Cummins’ leadership. They are running as a slate for party executive positions, headed by Ben Besler of Chilliwack, who ran for the party in the 2009 provincial election, when it was led by Wilf Hanni. A pro-Cummins slate headed by director-at-large Al Siebring, a North Cowichan councillor, was announced in response. Siebring calls his slate the A Team and it includes supporters who billed themselves as Friends of John Cummins in a series of news releases responding to calls for a leadership review. Siebring said Cummins’ leadership is being questioned by “a few noisy individuals” who have damaged the party’s credibility at a critical time in preparation for the election

next May. Siebring said only four of 26 board members are backing a leadership review and he expects it to be voted down easily at Saturday’s (Sept. 22) meeting in Langley. Cummins said he isn’t too concerned about detractors within the party, calling it “the normal course of events” in any organization. “The job after the weekend is to make sure that everybody’s onside and move forward,” Cummins said. Party members are voting on whether his leadership should be reviewed, with ballots mailed to all B.C. Conservative members. Party treasurer Lambert Leung of Richmond, who is standing for re-election with the A Team slate, said some members mailed in their ballots and others are bringing them to Saturday’s meeting, where the results will be tabulated and announced. Cummins is scheduled to address the membership at 12:30 p.m. and results of the vote for executive positions will be announced Saturday afternoon. With Belsey running for party president, the dissident slate includes John Crocock, a former regional director for the Burnaby-Coquitlam region, Betty Newton of New Westminster,

Kamloops Conservatives heading to Langley More than two-dozen Kamloops-North and South Thompson constituency members will be attending this weekend’s annual general meeting of the B.C. Conservative Party in Langley. Included from Kamloops-South Thompson will be constituency president Fernando di Lorenzo, vice-president Peter Sharp, treasurer Jacquie Hilton and secretary/regional director Alan Forseth. Those attending from Kamloops-North Thompson include riding president Ed Fehr, treasurer Naomi Fehr, financial agent Carl Hagen and board member Max Lentz. The AGM will be held on Friday, Sept. 21, and Saturday, Sept. 22, at the Langley Events Centre, 7888 200 St.

currently the deputy financial agent, Burnaby North constituency president Ariane Eckardt, Surrey regional director James Ram, VancouverKingsway constituency president Milan Kljajic and Maple Ridge-Pitt Meadows constituency president Robbie Armstrong. The pro-Cummins slate is Siebring for president, Jim Sutherland of Kelowna for vice-president, Leung for treasurer, Linda Bellamy of Langley for secretary, and director-at-large candidates Dan Denis of Vancouver, Daniel Brooks of Vanderhoof, Doug Machan of Kelowna and Dennis Belliveau of ParksvilleQualicum.

B.C. Conservative Party members will decide this weekend in Langley whether John Cummins will face a leadership review.

Last year’s taste has left Blazers with hunger By Marty Hastings STAFF REPORTER sports@kamloopsthisweek.com

HE THIRST around town for regular-season WHL hockey will be quenched this weekend when the Kamloops Blazers begin their quest for Ed Chynoweth’s mug. Many Blazer fans believe a Blue and Orange concoction might flow from the Western Hockey League’s championship trophy in May, while some critics think Kamloops backers have let similar-hued KoolAid affect their judgement. Blazer GM Craig Bonner made no bold predictions this week in an interview with KTW, but there was plenty of confidence emanating from the corner office at headquarters on Mark Recchi Way. “I believe we’re going into this season as strong as anybody in the conference,” said Bonner, whose team bowed out of the

playoffs in Game 7 of Round 2 last season, losing to the Portland Winterhawks. “We’re going to win a lot of games if we’re playing the right way.” The first test comes at Interior Savings Centre on Friday, Sept. 21, when the Kelowna Rockets are in town. Kamloops will raise the 2011-2012 B.C. Division banner — its first in 10 years — before the 7 p.m. faceoff. The feeling among those close to the organization was much different at this time last year than it is now. “Going into last season, on paper, I thought we had a good group but, coming off a year where you didn’t make the playoffs, you’re a little hesitant,” said Bonner, now in his fifth year as the club’s GM. “We turned the corner, so this year is obviously a lot easier and less stressful going into the season.” Kamloops is returning a strong group of veterans — forwards Brendan Ranford, Colin

Smith, Tim Bozon, Dylan Willick, JC Lipon and Jordan DePape, along with defencemen Tyler Hansen and Marek Hrbas and goaltender Cole Cheveldave, to name a few — and might get a huge boost if Columbus Blue Jackets’ rearguard Austin Madaisky is returned to the club. “Going into the year, I realistically thought we had a 50-50 chance of getting him back and, the way things look right now with the [NHL] lockout, it might be swaying in our favour a little bit more,” Bonner said. “He could be that one piece that puts us over the top.” Bonner guessed early November might be the earliest Madaisky could suit up for Kamloops, after the Jackets’ American Hockey League affiliate team, the Springfield Falcons of Massachusetts, gets a look at the blue-liner in exhibition and perhaps regular-season AHL play. If Madaisky comes back, Bonner has two

Kamloops Blazers’ general manager Craig Bonner is entering his fifth season at the helm of the storied Western Hockey League club — with the Blue and Orange entering the 2012-2013 season as one of the favourites to win the Western Conference crown. Dave Eagles/KTW

weeks from when he arrives to decide which one of the four over-age players — Madaisky, DePape, Willick or Ranford — will be leaving. Bonner, named last season’s Western Conference executive of the year, was with the Vancouver Giants during the 2004-2005 NHL

lockout, so he has an idea what to expect this time around. “Selfishly, it will help our attendance and exposure because there’s no NHL to watch,” he said. “And, there will be some players in our league that weren’t anticipated to be here.” Shaw Cable is set to broadcast 32 regular-

season WHL games, along with a host of playoff games, in Western Canada, but it might not be the only network on board if the lockout continues. “There is a CHL [Canadian Hockey League] agreement with Sportsnet already,” Bonner said. “I wouldn’t be

surprised if you saw Sportsnet ramp up their coverage of the league.” The Blazer brass is expecting big things this season from a few of its less-experienced players — Matt Needham, Aspen Sterzer and Cole Ully up front and Tyler Bell and Landon Cross on the back end. X See THIS YEAR A21

Kamloops Blazers’ goaltender Cole Cheveldave produced a stellar 34-11-5 record last season and will need to be strong in the crease again if the club is to repeat the success of the 2011-2012 campaign, which ended just one win shy of advancing to the Western Conference championship series. KTW file photo

“Sometimes, those are the guys that can make the difference to your team when they exceed expectations,” Bonner said. “For example, JC Lipon was one of those guys for us last year.” The Regina product racked up 65 points, 19 of them goals, playing right-wing on a line with Smith, a centre, and left-winger Bozon, who was named the Western Conference’s rookie of the year. That unit combined for 221 points, including 90 goals, so don’t expect the trio to be split up. Bozon was selected by the Montreal Canadiens in Round 3 and Smith by the Colorado Avalanche in Round 7 at the NHL Entry Draft in June. It’s tough to consider Smith, Bozon and Lipon a second line, but that’s the case, with the 20s — Willick playing centre between Ranford and DePape — expected to hop over the boards first. The biggest question heading into last season was between the pipes. Cole Cheveldave nailed down the job early and quickly established himself as the undisputed No. 1 guy in front of Cam Lanigan, now a Winterhawk. The Calgary product was named to the Western Conference’s second all-star team, finishing 34-11-5, with a 2.62 goals-against average and a .909 save percentage. Taran Kozun is second on the Blazers’ depth chart. After missing the playoffs in the 2010-2011 campaign, Kamloops might have caught a few teams off guard last season, but Bonner knows those days are long gone. “This year, teams are going to be gunning for us,” he said. “The most dangerous thing for us is getting complacent and being satisfied. Looking at our group, I don’t think we’re like that. “They got a taste of going to the playoffs and having some success. The players are hungry.” So is the club’s fan base — and parched, longing to sip from championship hardware.

CRUNCH TIME: Kamloops Blazer Brady Gaudet takes out Victoria Royal Logan Nelson during regular-season action at Interior Savings Centre on Feb. 22. The Blazers won the game 6-3 while wearing special Tk’emlups Indian Band uniforms on First Nations Night. Kamloops took seven of eight games from the Royals in the regular season. KTW file photo

The Kamloops Blazers are gearing up to defend their B.C. Division crown. The 2011-2012 regular season brought the Blue and Orange back into the elite of the Western Hockey League: •The Blazers had their best regular-season record since 1998-1999, winning the B.C. Division title, finishing second in the Western Conference and settling in at fourth in the WHL with a mark of 47-20-2-3, good for 99 points. • The Blazers had the biggest turnaround in the WHL last season, with 35 more points and 18 more wins than all of last season. • Kamloops finished the year with a league-best 22-92-3 road record. The 22 road wins were the most for the franchise since the 1995-1996 season. • The Blazers scored 290 goals — third most in the WHL and the most tallies by a Kamloops squad since the 1998-1999 campaign. • Kamloops allowed 211 goals last season, the fifth-stingiest mark in the league. • Rookie goaltender Cole Cheveldave recorded 34 wins, the most by a Blazers’ rookie and goaltender since the 19981999 season, when Kenric Exner won 34 games. • Rookie forward Tim Bozon

finished tops among rookies with 36 goals and was second in the WHL with 71 points this season. Bozon recorded the most goals and points for a Blazer rookie since Scottie Upshall scored 42 goals and 87 points in the 2000-2001 season. • Fourth-year forward Brendan Ranford led the Blazers in goals with 40, in assists with 52 and in points with 92. Ranford was the first Blazer to score 40 goals and reach 90-plus points since Erik Christensen had 54 goals and 108 points to lead the WHL in scoring during the 2002-2003 season. • Eight Blazers reached the 50-plus point plateau last season. The last time a Kamloops team counted eight 50-plus point players was during the 1994-1995 season, when the Blazers had eight players with at least 67 points. • Six Blazers reached 20-plus goals last season, which was the first time that has happened since the 20002001 season. • The Blazers were ranked eighth in Canada in the final BMO Mastercard Canadian Hockey League Top 10 regularseason rankings. The club was ranked as high as second nationally and was included in the Top 10 for 16 of 25 weeks.

What is W C Critical Illness Insurance? ce? e?

LOCAL VIEWS

What factors cause mental illness?

HIS WEEK, WE ARE ANSWERING A QUESTION FROM A READER FROM OUTSIDE KAMLOOPS. Thanks to the online publication of Kamloops This Week, we get comments and questions from all over North America — even a couple from Europe. So, what really does cause mental illness? Knowing the answer to this question means we can prevent it, right? Actually, it is not that easy. There are a few issues experts agree contribute to the onset of mental illness and there are many about which they disagree. We compiled a Top 10 list of causes for mental illness from various sources — our favourite is Harvard Medical School, but we left no stone unturned to put this list together. • Biological factors: Physical health of the brain such as an imbalance of neurotransmitters that help brain cells to communicate with each other appears to be one cause for mental illness. We know all physical illness contributes to anxiety, depression and other symptoms of mental illness. • Genetics: Some mental illnesses appear to run in families. There is still debate if the actual condition is rooted in a family’s genetics or if the susceptibility to mental ill-

ness is genetic. Many researchers are looking to see if it is not the genes but the family’s powerful ability to teach poor coping strategies from an early age that is the reason mental illness runs in some families. Most likely, it is a combination. • Infections: Some infections have been linked to brain damage and this can lead to mental disorders. High fevers can cause brain damage; people need to seek medical assistance if their fever is high or does not subside relatively quickly. • Brain injuries: Some mental illnesses have developed after head injuries, including car accidents, sports injuries and abuse from family violence. • Prenatal damage: Pregnant women have to be careful with diet, exercise, sleep, trauma and avoiding alcohol and drugs to give their unborn child the best mentally fit environment to develop. • Toxins: Things like lead can lead to mentalhealth issues. There are many substances that appear to affect the centralnervous system, some of them affecting the lining of neurons that affect or distort the transmission of infor-

mation between brain cells. • Psychological factors: Traumas, important early losses, neglect, poor relationships, stresses, death or divorce can lead to serious mental illness. The more that happen, and the more severe they are, the more likely mental illness becomes. But, even one of these issues combined with a person’s inability to cope can have the same devastating impact.

• Social environmental factors: Death or divorce, dysfunctional family, poverty, low self-esteem or substance abuse can all lead to mental-health issues, especially when combined with other factors above. • Substance abuse: We added this issue separate from toxins to differentiate between what we unknowingly ingest and what we do for recreation and fun. There are no safe drugs, be they recreational or medicinal. All chemicals have impacts on the body and every drug or medicine has its downside that must be measured against the benefits.

• Foods: This, of course, is under debate and we will not enter it. We have added food to our list because it may contain toxins (pesticides and other chemicals) and much has been genetically altered. Eat lots of clean fruits and vegetables, take fish oil supplements, eat brain-healthy foods and your mental health will benefit We hope we have done justice to your question in a relatively shortened format.

Three-dog plight for Barnhartvale family By Andrea Klassen STAFF REPORTER andrea@kamloopsthisweek.com

SE SA VI PT H SIT EMAL U S B IM A ER A T 15 LL –3 0

A Barnhartvale family will have to find a new home for one of their pets after Kamloops city council turned down a request to keep three dogs at their Uplands Drive home. Though the Duczak family brought in letters of support from more than half of their neighbours — including Kamloops South-Thompson Liberal MLA Kevin Krueger — a long history of bylaw visits and tickets did more to sway council this week. According to a report by bylaw services, the Duczaks’ dogs have been the subject of 18 complaints since 2005. In many of the cases, the dogs were found roaming the streets. However, Otto Duczak told council, many of the issues in the report involved a dog no longer living on the property. He said the current three-dog situation is temporary. Two of the dogs belong to his daughter, Juliana, who plans to move out of the house once she has saved up the money to do so.

While he admitted the dogs have wandered off the unfenced property in the past, Duczak said he has trained them not to do so now and sometimes chains them to the garage. “I’m a responsible person. I try to do the best I can,” he said. “I’ve complied most of the time. I’ve paid every fine.” Several councillors said they would be willing to support the application — but only if the Duczaks agreed to build a fence or get a dog pen. “I think that would solve almost 100 per cent of your problems,” said Coun. Arjun Singh. But, Duczak said, that isn’t something he’s willing to do. “My wife completely refuses to fence her yard. And, I refuse to fence my yard because of the price,” he said, putting the cost at about $20,000 for the large lot. “It would take a lot of money. And, I think it’s different being out in a rural community. It’s not like having a dog in downtown Seymour Street here.” Duczak said if council approved the application, he

would keep the dogs chained more often and try to keep a closer eye on them when they are outside. However, that wasn’t enough for many on council. “All I heard in terms of the presentation is that he would be happy to continue to pay the fines for any bylaw tickets we gave him in the future,” said Coun. Nancy Bepple. “There is a solution there and Mr. Duczak continues not to take it,” added Coun. Pat Wallace. “He would prefer to continue to feel that the bylaw people are after him.” Singh suggested council agree to the variance, but attach a condition that the family must build a dog pen, a run or a fence. But, by the time that solution was raised, a motion was already on the table to deny the family’s request. That passed by a vote of 5-4, with Singh, Mayor Peter Milobar and councillors Donovan Cavers and Marg Spina opposed. Those in favour of denying the request included councillors Bepple, Wallace, Ken Christian, Nelly Dever and Tina Lange.

City roads getting million-dollar facelift Sections of Summit Avenue, Victoria Street and two other Kamloops roads are headed to rehab as city council has agreed to award a roadwork contract for more than $1.4 million to BA Dawson Blacktop Ltd. The contract covers surface milling and repaving, as well as some utility repairs, on Summit Avenue between Columbia Street and Springhill Drive, on Victoria Street from First to Fifth avenues, on Oriole Road from Frontage Road to Valleyview Drive and on Nicola Street from Fifth to Sixth avenues.

Council seeks cost-saving measures in advance of budget talks They won’t hold themselves to a flat tax rate, but Kamloops city council has agreed to hold a workshop to look for cost-saving measures in advance of preparing the 2013 budget. The motion came from Coun. Arjun Singh, who had originally proposed a workshop to look at how the city could keep next year’s tax increase at zero per cent. However, Mayor Peter Milobar suggested council not start with a specific number in mind, to keep staff from getting caught up trying to hit a certain target. Coun. Nancy Bepple said the city needs to look at what money it has set aside for future instrastructure projects and other long-term concerns. “It may be that we’re not putting enough money away,” she said. “So, we can go into this workshop and look for ways to find cost savings, but we have to be realistic.” That was fine with Singh. “I’m not stuck on zero,” he said. “I just want to have some sort of discussion about these issues.”

CITY HALL

Kamloops wants Ottawa to ensure long-term plan Kamloops council has signed on to a Federation of Canadian Municipalities’ campaign to make sure federal funding for infrastructure projects is in line with what communities actually need. Council passed a resolution this week, calling on the federal government to ensure a long-term plan for funding road, water, sewer and drainage improvements is in place when the Building Canada Plan expires in 2014.

Father on trial, accused of sexually assaulting toddler daughter By Tim Petruk STAFF REPORTER tim@kamloopsthisweek.com

Royal Inland Hospital’s chief of pediatrics gave disturbing evidence this week in B.C. Supreme Court, where a Kamloops father is on trial on allegations he sexually assaulted his three-year-old daughter last year. Dr. Denise Chapple took the stand in the trial of the 43-year-old, who cannot be named due to a court-ordered publication ban protecting the identity of his daughter. The father is charged with one count of sexual interference of a person under 16, dating back to last spring.

Chapple told court she twice examined the girl, who was then just shy of her fourth birthday, in April 2011. The doctor said she found an injury — described as “a hematoma” — inside the girl’s vagina. That injury, court heard, matched the story the girl’s mother had relayed to Chapple prior to the exams. The mother told Chapple the girl’s father had sexually assaulted the three-year-old. Crown prosecutor Will Burrows pressed the doctor further about the injury. “Would there be pain typically associated with that?” the lawyer asked.

“There would be,” Chapple replied. Earlier this week, testifying by closed-circuit video from another room at the Kamloops Law Courts, the girl, who is now five years old, said the assault “felt like a knife.” Burrows asked Chapple if that description would be appropriate given the injuries she saw during her examination of the girl. “I think it would,” the doctor replied. The trial, before B.C. Supreme Court Justice Miriam Maisonville, began on Monday, Sept. 17. It is slated to wrap up on Friday, Sept. 21.

Yale County has 12 sheep members and seven beef members who will be showing their various projects at the Provincial Winter Fair. They will be competing against members from other 4-H clubs in the district and against each other in classes such as showmanship, market, trim and fit, groups and round-robin. All 4-H members are required to prepare their animals for

their classes assisted only by other 4-H members. This requires the club members to really work as a team and creates a great sense of mentoring and friendship. The annual Provincial Winter Fair is sure to be a busy and fun-filled weekend and will end with a bittersweet feeling for some 4-H members.

IN WITH A BANG New Gold hosted a public open house on Sunday, Sept. 16, to show the Kamloops community what’s going on at the New Afton Mine site west of the Tournament Capital

There was no ribbon-cutting ceremony as New Gold held an open-house celebration at its newly operational New Afton Mine west of Kamloops, but mine staff did set off a large explosion (above) to mark the affair, which also featured New Afton fire crews — the mine has its own private department — performing a public training exercise (above right). Robert Gallagher (below), president and CEO of New Gold, also addressed the crowd at the event, which took place near the old Afton pit (right) — which dwarfs the New Afton operation.

NORMA IRENE FOWLER

FULTON, JOYCE ISABEL (née FILL)

(MCCLAIN)

It is with profound sadness that we announce the peaceful passing of Norma Fowler, just two months short of her 95th birthday. Norma was born in Monarch Alberta November 25, 1917. She is pre deceased by her father and mother Date McClain & Myrtle McClain(Green), her brothers Bud (Glenn) McClain, Charles McClain, Sisters Icele Craig, Grace Atherton, Helen Cyr, and her husband Albert (Wayne) Fowler in 1970. She is survived by all 7 of her children, Norma (Ken) Williamson, Charlene Zappone, Ken (Lois) Fowler, Gary (Lorraine) Fowler, Cal (Bonnie) Fowler, Shelli (Mike) McHugh, Glenn (Sue) Fowler, along with 14 Grandchildren and 13 Great Grandchildren.

Norma moved to Kamloops in 1993 and spent her remaining days here living at the Cottonwood Manor and Bedford Manor where she had many friends. She spent her last two years at Ponderosa Lodge, and remained there until the Angels came for her.

Handy Andy heads again to the Hall By Marty Hastings STAFF REPORTER sports@kamloopsthisweek.com

NDY Clovechok of Kamloops will complete his hall-of-fame hat trick tonight in Vancouver. “Imagine that, eh?” said the 89-year-old Clovechok, one of two surviving players from the original 1945-1946 Vancouver Canucks. Those Canucks, along with nine individuals, make up the B.C. Sports Hall of Fame’s Class of 2012. Clovechok is already in the Kamloops Sports Hall of Fame and the Alberta Sports Hall of Fame, as a member of the 1947-48 Edmonton Flyers who won the senior men’s Allan Cup. “I’m looking forward to this one because that’s where I started in 1945-46 and it’s been a long time,” said Clovechok, who lives in the Tournament Capital with his wife, Molly. “There’s only three of us left.” Handy Andy, as he was known back when, will attend a banquet tonight at the Vancouver Convention Centre, along with Ernie Dougherty, the other surviving Canuck from the 1945-1946 roster. One of the team’s stick boys, Marvin

Storrow, will also be in attendance, marking the first time the trio will be re-united since 1946. Storrow became one of Vancouver’s mostrespected lawyers. The Vancouver Giants will wear replica 1945-1946 Canuck jerseys — royal blue with red and white trim and a white V on the chest — in honour of the induction during their season-opening WHL tilt against the Victoria Royals on Friday, Sept. 21, at Pacific Coliseum. All three surviving members will be in attendance. The Giants’ current home is a stone’s throw from Clovechok’s old stomping grounds — the 5,000-seat PNE Forum, still standing at the corner of Hastings and Renfrew. Vancouver has slashed ticket prices in an attempt to attract fans to the Coliseum during the NHL lockout, but won’t come close to reaching Canucks-of-old standards. “Prices ranged from 75 cents along the blue-line (bench seating with a wooden backing) to 30 cents for standing room,” wrote Jason Beck, curator of the B.C. Sports Hall of Fame, for Canucks. com. “If you wanted a cigarette for a quick smoke at a Canucks game in 1945, you

didn’t need to head for an exit during intermission. Packs were sold at every concession.” Clovechok was paid about $60 a week during the Canucks’ inaugural season, in which he won the Pacific Coast Hockey League (PCHL) scoring title with 56 goals and 103 points. He was given a $40 raise for his exploits. Vancouver bested the PCHL’s Southern Division-winning Hollywood Wolves 4-1 in the best-of-seven final series and was crowned 1945-1946 champion. That same year, the Canucks won the United States Amateur Championship, beating the Eastern Hockey League champion Boston Olympics in Game 7 of a thrilling series played at the Forum. “We did have an advantage,” Clovechok said. “We were an older team, guys were just coming back from the service and all the games were played in Vancouver.” A win is a win, though, and the party was on. “Beer was only $2.10 a case back then,” said Clovechok, who at the time lived with several players in a house beside a brewery. Born in Slovakia,

Andy Clovechok is making a habit out of being inducted into halls of fame. The 89-year-old Kamloops resident — seen here holding a picture of the 1945-1946 Vancouver Canucks (he is third from left, top row) after winning the U.S. Amateur Championship — is part of the B.C. Sports Hall of Fame’s Class of 2012. He will be inducted tonight (Sept. 20) in Vancouver. Clovechok is already a member of the Alberta and Kamloops sports halls of fame. Dave Eagles/KTW

Clovechok moved to Rosedale, Alta., with his mother when he was five. His father was already there, working in a coal mine. In 1942, Clovechok joined the military service and eventually found himself in Lethbridge, where he played for the Bombers. After a stint with the Sea Island Seahawks in Vancouver, he attended training camp with the Canucks in 1945. X See A BLAZER A33

SPORTS WOLFPACK WEEKEND

MORTGAGE MATTERS Save your home! Don’t sell your home unless you want to! Bills, household expenses and poorly structured mortgages can wreck havoc on the family ﬁnances. If this sounds like you, there are options to explore, and you often don’t have to sell your home unless you want to!

Mike Hawkins (right) and the TRU WolfPack men’s volleyball team are hosting Argentina’s junior national team at 7:30 p.m. tonight (Sept. 20) at the Tournament Capital Centre. The Argentinians are in B.C. for the inaugural Under-23 Pan American Cup, set for next week in Langley. WolfPack athletic director Ken Olynyk and men’s volleyball coach Pat Hennelly pounced on the chance to host the squad. “I expect the level to be very high and it to be a good test for our guys,” Hennelly said. “This is an excellent opportunity early in the season to be exposed to world-class competition.” Tickets are $5 for adults and $2 for students and seniors, while children under 7 get in free. The WolfPack men’s baseball team is hosting a golf tournament at The Dunes at Kamloops on Friday, Sept. 21, and its annual alumni and 100-inning games on Saturday, Sept. 22, and Sunday, Sept. 23, respectively. Log on to the Pack’s website for more information. KTW file photo

Bills and high housing costs can sometimes be addressed by looking at three things: 1. Amortization For years, many lenders have been advising clients to choose 20 or 25 year amortizations so the client doesn’t have to pay as much interest over the life of the mortgage. Good idea right? Well, the problem is that sometimes the payments are so high that the client ends up putting emergency expenditures, vacations and other expenses on high interest credit cards. The result is that people end up paying off 3%, 4% and 5% mortgage debt and building up 9%, 19% and 29% credit card debt. The high credit card interest can become unbearable and force the sale of your home. 2. Reﬁnancing In some cases, we can use the equity from your house to payoff credit card bills, car loans, etc. This means we pay off high interest debt with low interest debt. We can’t always change how much money you owe, but we can change how much interest you get charged on it.

3. Cashback Would a cashback mortgage work for you? In this type of mortgage, you receive a lumpsum of 2% or 5% at closing which you can use to reduce bills etc. The extra money can reduce overall household monthly payments or can be used to payoff closing costs or mortgage penalty. The mortgage payments are higher for this type of mortgage. If you are struggling with month to month bills or know someone who is, call me BEFORE you miss a payment. Once you have missed payments reported on your credit bureau, lenders are less likely to approve your mortgage change. Whether you are a first-time homebuyer, up for renewal or refinancing, there are many unique and competitive products available on the market today.

Penton: Take advantage of NHL lockout

N PAR WITH TIM HORTONS running out of coffee or Internet access going down, Canadians are almost certainly going to face one of those “Oh, no!” situations when the National Hockey League goes dark. So, while the lockout is on and NHL rinks are gathering dust, what are looniespending, Maple Leafwaving, coffee-drinking, Justin-Bieberloving Canadians supposed to do with time formerly spent in front of their TV sets or — if they’re lucky enough to live in an NHL city — in the stands cheering on their favourite team? Here are a few ways to fill in that time and

BRUCE PENTON From PRESS ROW feel good about yourself at the same time: X Go for a nightly walk, but not to the neighbourhood bar. X Be the Good Samaritan on your block to shovel snow from the driveway of the little old lady down the street. If you’re one of two Good Samaritans and both of you arrive to do your good deed at the same time, do not drop the shovels and

settle things with fisticuffs. Share. Do half each. X Embrace the exciting Canadian Football League. (*Manitobans exempt from this suggestion.) Regular season and playoffs will keep your sporting interest until late November. X Volunteer with your local Christmas Cheer Board, or

local equivalent. Almost every community has an agency that raises money and collects toys for those less fortunate. Swell your heart and help your community by saying “what can you find for me to do?” X Visit your local arena and watch some of the squirts, peewees, bantam and midgets —

the future of our game. — play hockey for the fun of it. X Organize street hockey games in your neighbourhood, just as you did when you were 10 years old. Best part? The postgame hot chocolate is now a cool, refreshing beer. X Buy a dartboard. Find enlarged photos of Gary Bettman and

“Vancouver had been without a true out-and-out fully professional team since the 1926 departure of the Patrick brothers’ Vancouver Maroons (latter incarnation of the 1915 Stanley Cup champion Millionaires, Vancouver’s lone claim to hockey’s Holy Grail),” Beck wrote. Clovechok moved to Kamloops in 1951 to play for the senior Elks and has been here ever since. He bought a carpet and upholstery business in 1955 and became involved in Kamloops

minor hockey for decades to come, serving as a coach, referee and director. In 2009, Clovechok, a longtime member of the Kamloops Blazers’ board of directors, was inducted in the builders’ category as a Blazer Legend. There will be about 20 members of the Clovechok clan enjoying tonight’s ceremony in Vancouver, none more tickled by the honour than Handy Andy himself. “This is special,” he said. “I’m looking forward to it.”

The Blazers Dylan Willick (right) and the Kamloops Blazers are poised to make a run at a second-consecutive B.C. Division title. Allen Douglas/KTW

Thomson might be the Blazers’ most promising new face. The club’s first-round pick in the 2011 bantam draft had an excellent training camp and pre-season. The Blazers acquired F Rob Trzonkowski from Calgary in May. He racked up 200 penalty minutes in 111 games with the Hitmen. Of interest: Forwards Matt Needham and Cole Ully, both 17, are not listed as key returnees, but they might be exactly that. They are both expected to take the next step this season. Josh Connolly of Prince George is the younger brother of Brett, the former Prince George Cougar who plays with the Tampa Bay Lightning. The younger Connolly is a highly skilled blue-liner with tremendous offensive upside and will be used on the power play. Hunchak would like to see Connolly be more reliable and less unpredictable in his own zone. Chase Souto had a great pre-season. He might be more than just an energy guy this season. Did you know: Graduated Blazers Maschmeyer and Schaber joined the St. Francis Xavier men’s hockey team in Antigonish, N.S. The X-Men compete in Canadian Interuniversity

Sport’s Atlantic University Sport conference. Former Cougar G Drew Owsley, Spokane Chief F Steven Kuhn and Medicine Hat Tiger F Cole Grbavac also joined the X-Men this off-season. The prognosis: Kamloops has the necessary tools this season to make a run at the Western Conference championship and challenge for the Ed Chynoweth Cup. The Blazers are deep up front and on the blue-line (especially if Madaisky returns) and Cheveldave looks to be the real deal between the pipes. Expectations in town are higher than they have been in more than a

decade. If the Blazers can cope with the pressure and avoid key injuries, look for them to be hanging around deep in the post-season. — Marty Hastings, Kamloops This Week

The Giants Last season: 40-262-4, second in B.C. division, fourth in the Western conference, lost in six games to the Spokane Chiefs in the first round. The coaches: Head

coach Don Hay (eighth season, 14th in WHL); assistant coaches Glen Hanlon (second season), Yogi Svejkovsky (seventh season); and goaltending coach, Paul Fricker (second season). The 20-yearolds: D Wes Vannieuwenhuizen, F Taylor Makin and D Joel Neibrandt. Key returnees: Besides the 20-yearolds, Cain Franson, D David Musil, F Marek Tvrdon and F Dalton Sward. Key losses: F Brendan Gallagher, F Jordan Martinook, F James Henry, G Adam Morrison and D Neil Manning. X See LOSING A35

Last season: 47-202-3, second in Western Conference, first in B.C. Division. Swept Victoria Royals in Round 1 of playoffs before losing in Game 7 of Round 2 to the Portland Winterhawks. The coaches: Head coach Guy Charron (third season, hired midseason in 2009-2010 campaign); associate coach Dave Hunchak (second season); assistant coach Ed Patterson (second season); skills coach Mike Needham (second season); and goaltending coach Dan De Palma (fourth season). Key losses: F Chase Schaber, D Bronson Maschmeyer and F Brandon Herrod, all aged out of junior hockey. D Austin Madaisky, who signed a three-year deal with the Columbus Blue Jackets, would be a key loss, but he might be back in Kamloops, depending on the NHL lockout and whether he catches on with the Springfield Falcons of the American Hockey League. The 20-year-olds: D Madaisky, F Dylan Willick, F Brendan Ranford and F Jordan DePape. WHL clubs are allowed only three overage players on the roster. If Madaisky is returned to Kamloops, Blazer GM Craig Bonner has a decision to make. The imports: F Tim Bozon (Switzerland) and D Marek Hrbas (Czech Republic). Key returnees: F Ranford, F DePape, F Bozon, F Willick, D Hrbas, D Tyler Hansen, D Tyler Bell, D Madaisky (if he is back), G Cole Cheveldave, F JC Lipon and F Colin Smith. New faces: Jordan

Losing Gallagher hurts New faces: D Joel Neibrandt, G Liam Liston, G Tyler Fuhr. Important: Slovakian import Marek Tvrdon scored 31 goals, 74 points in 60 games last season. Up front: The Giants lose three of their top-five pointgetters from last season, including 40-goal men Brendan Gallagher and Jordan Martinook, who combined for nearly a third of the team’s goals. Returning to carry the offensive load are 19-year-olds Tvrdon and Cain Franson. On the blue line: Led by newly appointed captain Wes Vannieuwenhuizen, the Giants have five rearguards back from last season, including NHL prospects David Musil and Brett Kulak, both of whom possess two-way ability. John Murphy’s

CHOPn BLOCK

Niebrandt comes from Kootenay, where he won a WHL championship in 2011. In net: The Giants acquired 19-yearold Liam Liston from Lethbridge to assume starting goaltending duties from the departed Adam Morrison, who won 35 games in 55 appearances last year. Liston has 29 wins in 68 career games with the Hurricanes and Brandon Wheat Kings. Tyler Fuhr, 17, looks to have the back-up role locked down. Prediction: A dip in production without Gallagher, who was a game-breaker last year, but still a playoff team. Look for the defence to drag the team into one of the last playoff spots in the Western Conference. — Travis Paterson, Victoria News X See COUGARS A36

SPORTS

The Cougars Last season: 24-460-2, 10th in Western Conference, fifth in B.C. Division, missing playoffs for the third time in five years. The coaches: Head coach Dean Clark (fourth season, 16th overall); assistant coaches Jason Becker (fourth season) and Brent Arsenault (eighth season). Key losses: Overage goalie Drew Owsley was an obvious choice for Team MVP of the 2011-12 campaign. The Cougars were consistently outshot over the course of the season and it was Owsley who held them in games and gave them an opportunity to win. Owsley played 64 games while back-up Devon Fordyce, who’s been battling Brett Zarowny for the 20122013 starter’s position, saw action in 14 contests. Last season’s other overagers were F Spencer Asuchak and D Cody Carlson. With the Cougars’ talent up front, it may be Carlson the Cougars miss more than Asuchak this season. F Greg Fraser, who would’ve been battling for one of the three 1992-born overage positions, opted to drop down and join the B.C. Hockey League’s Nanaimo Clippers. Asuchak and Fraser were serviceable forwards for the Cats, but neither was a major offensive threat. D Jesse Forsberg played with an edge and his physical play may be missed. He was dealt to the Seattle Thunderbirds in an off-season move for forward Colin Jacobs. The 20-year-olds: F Brock Hirsche, D Dan Gibb and D Dallas Ehrhardt. Gibb may turn into the Cougars’ most important player this season. Although he’s not an offensive defenceman, Gibb has often been given the assignment of covering the opposition’s top forwards. While the Cougars will encourage their forwards to back

check, it’ll be up to the more experienced Gibb and Ehrhardt to mentor the team’s young blue liners. At 194 games, Gibb has dressed in more regular-season contests for the Cougars than any other member of this season’s team. The import: The Cougars enter the season with only one import on their team, 1994-born Latvian defenceman Rinalds Rosinskis. Key returnees: G Fordyce, D Gibb, F Troy Bourke, F Alex Forsberg, F Daulton Siwak, F Chase Witala, F Jordan Tkatch and F Hirsche. New faces: A couple of forwards, Jacobs (from Seattle) and Jari Erricson (from the Everett Silvertips) joined the Cougars in deals with other organizations. Erricson became property of the team after a bantam draftday move on May 3. F Zach Pochiro joins the organization after skating with the Wichita Falls Wildcats of the North American Hockey League. Watch for: More offensive production. If everything falls into place, this team could see its goals-for total increase by as much as 100. That noted, last season’s team was the lowest scoring in the 22-team WHL, with only 166 goals in 72 games. There appears to be nowhere to go but up. There isn’t an established superstar in this group, but there are several players capable of 50 points or more. There’s no shortage of options up front. Of interest: Eligible for selection in the 2013 NHL Entry Draft, Alex Forsberg will be looking to have a breakout season to raise his stock value. The Cougars used the first-overall selection in the 2010 WHL Bantam Draft to select Jesse Forsberg’s younger brother and, in his rookie campaign in 2011-12, Alex recorded 40 points (15 goals and 25 assists) in 51 games. Bourke led

the team in scoring in 2011-12 with 18 goals and 38 points for 56 points in 71 games and, after getting selected by the NHL’s Colorado Avalanche (third round, 72nd overall) in June, he’ll look to make an even greater offensive contribution. Did you know: The Cougars’ records show only one player in the franchise’s 18-year history has recorded 100 points in a season. Quinn Hancock, a 1977-born forward, reached the century mark in the 1997-98 campaign when he collected 54 goals and 112 points. His goals and assists totals were also single-season team records. Prognosis: As of Tuesday, the Cougars’ 25-man roster had 11 1995-born players. Furthermore, only seven players on that list were

born in either 1992 or 1993. While much of the 1995-born class saw a lot of ice time as rookies last season, let’s not kid ourselves — this team is still young and, as a result, mistakes are going to happen as players learn the game. The Cougars have a lack of WHL experience on defence and between the pipes. Fordyce and Zarowny put up respectable numbers in the pre-season, but now they’ll start facing shots from the opposition’s top forwards more regularly. As long as the back end holds up and the goalies challenge each other, the Cougars should have no problem returning to the playoffs, but they won’t be among the conference leaders.

Royal subjects X From A36

The Royals Last season: 24-413-4, seventh in Western Conference, fourth in B.C. Division. Swept by Kamloops Blazers in the first round of the playoffs. The coaches: Dave Lowry (first season); assistant coaches Enio Sacilotto (third season), Ben Cooper, (second season) and Geoff Grimwood (first season). Key losses: After guiding the Royals through the transition from Chilliwack to Victoria, coachGM Marc Habscheid stepped down in June. Habscheid held the post for three years and traded it in for an advisory role within RG Properties. As for the players, F Kevin Sundher, D Hayden Rintoul and F Robin Soudek all graduated. Twenty-year-olds F Mike Forsyth and G Keith Hamilton were released during the pre-season. Returning 18-year-olds F Zane Jones and D Kade Pilton were traded — Jones for Alex Gogolev and Pilton for prospects. Rather than tempt fate and challenge for a 20-year-old spot in the WHL, D Zach Habscheid is playing for the junior A Sioux Falls Stampede of the U.S. Hockey League. The 20-year-olds: D Tyler Stahl, F Jamie Crooks, F Gogolev. The imports: F Gogolev (Russia) and G Patrik Polivka (Czech Republic). Key returnees: D Stahl, D Keegan Kanzig, D Jordan Fransoo, F Steven Hodges, F Brandon Magee, Logan

I A D N U Y H GE

THE

A ADVANT

13 0 2 Nelson, F Jamie Crooks, New faces: Lots of them. GM Cam Hope and coach Dave Lowry inherited a team of full of assets, but one that’s been missing that winning feeling. Already they’ve shaved the edges of the team while adding Russian import Gogolev, a premier left-winger in the WHL, and goalie Patrik Polivka. Watch for: Leftwingers Gogolev and Crooks to lead a high-powered Royals offence. Crooks should hit 40 goals, if not 50, after potting 37 last year and a hat trick in the playoffs. The two lead a solid top six with Nelson, Magee, Hodges and a beefedup Ben Walker. Rookie netminder Polivka has been lights out in the pre-season. Of interest: Carolina Hurricanes’ prospect Stahl missed most of last season due to a concussion suffered in the fourth game. It hasn’t softened Stahl, who starts the season serving a six-game suspension for a check to the head against the Kelowna Rockets on Sept. 7. Prediction: Forty wins and a playoff exit in seven games. Last year’s win total of 24 was the second-lowest in the team’s history. It will take Lowry all season to rebuild the team’s chemistry. — Travis Paterson, Victoria News X See KELOWNA A38

Kelowna still young, but not without experience X From A37

The Rockets Last season: 31-314-6, sixth in Western Conference, third in B.C. Division. Swept by Portland in opening round of the playoffs. The coaches: Ryan Huska (sixth season, 11th on staff); assistant coaches Dan Lambert (fourth season), Kim Dillabaugh (10th season) and Kim Gellert (eight season). Key losses: F Brett Bulmer (turning pro), G Adam Brown (graduated) and C Spencer Main (retired, injury). The 20-year-olds: D Mitchell Chapman, F Dylen McKinley and F T.J. Barnett. The imports: F Filip Vasko, 18 (Slovakia), and Henrik Nyberg, 18, (Sweden). Key returnees: F Colton Sissons, F Zach Franko, D Damon Severson, D Myles Bell, D Madison Bowey and

G Jordon Cooke. New faces: F Ryan Olsen, 18, acquired from Saskatoon in the Shane McColgan deal; goaltender Jackson Whistle, acquired in a trade with Vancouver; defenceman Mitchell Wheaton, 17; McKinley and Barnett, a pair of overage forwards acquired in trades during the pre-season; and three 16-year-old rookies, including top draft pick Rourke Chartier. Of interest: The Rockets were hoping centre Main would fill one of three overage spots, but the 20-yearold North Vancouver native was forced to retire during the preseason due to recurring concussion symptoms. Did you know: D Bowey won a gold medal with Team Canada at the Ivan Hlinka Memorial U18 world championship in Slovakia.

Bonded, Insured & Licensed

The prognosis: Much like last season, the Rockets head into 2012-13 with a relatively young lineup. However, with 15 returnees and a pair of 20-year-old vets acquired in trades, the club does have more game experience and more size than a year ago. With Severson, Bell, Bowey and Jesse Lees, Kelowna could have one of the league’s more dynamic defensive corps. The ques-

tion mark is how much offence the Rockets will be able to generate from the forward positions, with a scoring-by-committee approach likely to be employed. If Kelowna can find a way to score on a nightly basis, then 35 to 40 wins and a secondplace finish in the B.C. Division shouldn’t be out of the question. If not, look for a third- or fourth-place showing.

Pooches promote reading By Dale Bass STAFF REPORTER dale@kamloopsthisweek.com

There’s just something about Mollie. You take one look into those big, dark eyes and your heart melts. You want to hug her and sit with her — and, hopefully, read to her. That’s the goal of a new program at the Kamloops Library that will see Mollie and other therapy dogs with St. John Ambulance taking part in story time. The idea is simple, said librarian Susan McCowan. There are plenty of kids out there in the early stages of learning who aren’t comfortable with it, who might struggle with it and who find it a challenge. Put them together with Mollie and a book and, research has shown in other areas with similar programs, the kids will relax and start to see reading as something fun to do. The program is geared to elementary-schoolaged children who can sign up for 15 minutes with Mollie on Wednesdays between 3 p.m. and 4 p.m. They’ll share the storytime room with a librarian but it’s really “one-on-one with Millie, 15 minutes to read aloud or just relax and associate reading with relaxing.,” McCowan said. “That’s half the battle right there, helping to make reading enjoyable.” Millie, a golden retriever who will be nine years old in November, has worked as a therapy dog before, mainly in seniors’ homes, said her owner, Bridget Jensen. “She’s a natural for the program,” Jensen said. “She’s so lovable. She attracts people.” X See NOT ALL B2

Not all dogs suitable for therapy program

â&#x20AC;&#x153;We need to talkâ&#x20AC;?

X From B1

Jensen, who spent much of her working life as a nurse, said having a therapy dog is like an extension of her career. Dogs must be at least two years of age before St. John Ambulance staff will consider evaluating them for the program, said Liz Barlow, facilities liaison with the organization. Dogs go through an orientation program and, if they succeed, the owners are asked for a commitment to the program and what areas theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d like to work in. That can include seniors, adults with special needs, children or hospital patients, Barlow said. If they opt to work with children, there is additional training for the dog and owner team. For example, they canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be intrusive and must be predictable. Barlow said the best way to describe the nature of the ideal dog is if it can walk through the Saturday Kamloops Farmersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Market in the early morning and not react to any-

up-to-date but that, in the vetâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s opinion, the dog is suited to the work. There are 17 teams in Kamloops, although not all are active. An upcoming intake should see many more dogs being considered, Barlow said. The library program starts

WEEKLY HOROSCOPE ARIES - Mar 21/Apr 20 Aries, if you’re seeking fun in the sun, make the most of the last few days of summer or hop a plane to a tropical paradise. This could be a time for romance.

SCORPIO - Oct 24/Nov 22 Scorpio, sometimes you have to step away from the problem to ﬁnd its solution. Spending all your waking hours obsessing over the problem won’t help.

TAURUS - Apr 21/May 21 Taurus, take some time to relax. Keeping up this momentum is only going to cause burnout down the road. It’s time for some well-deserved relaxation.

SAGITTARIUS - Nov 23/Dec 21 Lay low for a while, Sagittarius. Things are happening around you that can lead to trouble if you become involved. It’s safer if you keep a low proﬁle.

GEMINI - May 22/Jun 21 Make a list of all your expenses and see what you can trim, Gemini. It’s time to get your ﬁnances in check and knowing what you’re working with is a ﬁrst step.

CAPRICORN - Dec 22/Jan 20 Capricorn, consider hiring some help around the house in the coming weeks. There’s a lot on your plate and a few extra helping hands can make it easier to manage what lies ahead.

CANCER - Jun 22/Jul 22 Cancer, after doing the same thing week after week, you are certainly ready for a change. Use this opportunity to try one of your “bucket list” ideas to drum up excitement.

Mitchell receives Queenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s medal By Richard Rolke VERNON MORNING STAR richard@vernonmorningstar.com

Longtime Kamloops resident Bill Mitchell received a Queenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Diamond Jubilee Medal from Sen. Nancy Greene Raine during a ceremony at Vernon City Hall on Sept. 12. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m proud of my career working with children and others,â&#x20AC;? said Mitchell, 64. Mitchell was a registered nurse for 32 years and it began by helping troubled youth in Edmonton and Calgary. In 1979, he took up duties

at Royal Inland Hospital in Kamloops. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I worked with student nurses as a mentor,â&#x20AC;? said Mitchell, who specialized in emergency nursing. He has also been involved in the army reserves for more than 30 years and has taken a keen interest in youth cadets. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s where our future leaders are. If they are good productive citizens in their teens, they will be good productive citizens as adults,â&#x20AC;? he said. A diagnosis of Parkinsonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s disease has led to involvement

Mitchell moved to the Vernon area in March. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I certainly plan to get involved with the cadets in Vernon and I have contacted the local Parkinsonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s group,â&#x20AC;? he said. Greene Raine says the contributions of individuals like Mitchell are critical to community. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a great example of a giver,â&#x20AC;? she said.

Classic time at Sun Peaks Vintage cars en route for popular show n’ shine The streets of Sun Peaks’ pedestrian village will once again be lined with vintage cars glinting in the autumn sun this weekend. On Saturday, Sept. 22, Kamloops and area classic car clubs and individual collectors will join the Vintage Car Club of Calgary for a public show n’ shine at the mountain resort 45 minutes from the city. This is the second consecutive year the Vintage Car Club of Calgary has chosen Sun Peaks for its annual event. The Calgary club will take part in a number of events, including wine and tapas tasting. “We had such a good time last year,” said Sylvia Heikamp, organizer for the Vintage Car Club of Calgary.

“The facilities, the food and the hospitality are all reasons we are returning this year.” Most of the vintage cars from Calgary will drive the scenic 600-kilometre journey to Sun Peaks along the TransCanada Highway via Rogers Pass. “The drive is a huge part of this event,” Heikamp said. “We are also going on a driving tour of some wineries in the region on Sunday.” To date, almost 50 cars have registered for the event. The Calgary club will be joined by members from the Kamloops Street Rod Association, the Old English Car Club of Kamloops and the Ford Nuts Cougar Club, as well as by individuals from the surrounding region. Interested classic-car own-

a place for everyone

ers wishing to attend can contact Louise Bermudez at 778-689-5912 or by email at salesmanager@sunpeaksresort. com. “It’s great other clubs are joining in,” Heikamp said. “We are all coming together with a common bond and interest. “Most of our cars are European, so it will be great to see some Detroit Steel American classic cars, too.” The show n’ shine will run from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. on Saturday, Sept. 22. Everyone is welcome to attend. Masa’s Bar & Grill will be offering a barbecue-burger special from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m., featuring a $5 burger, a $4.75 draft beer and buckets of beer for $20.

Hopping home to bake a cake

N ONE OF THE LAST FARMERS’ MARKET weekends of the summer, I step out my front door, hatted, sunscreened, eyes shaded behind a pair of Hollywood-huge sunglasses. It is not a long walk, but the sun is hotter, much hotter, than I expected after a week’s worth of cool afternoons, watching as leaves, reddened by near-frosts, begin to uncouple from their branches and sail to the ground. I count 10 grasshoppers as I walk. Small.

DARCIE HOSSACK Bon APPÉTIT Not worth fearing, though my hopperphobic heart quickens at the sight of each one, harkening back to the Prairie plagues that were the genesis of this panic. “It’s more afraid of you than you are of it,” says a voice in my head.

A voice I silence by telling it a metaphor. “The smaller the pepper, the hotter it is,” I say out loud, stopping to wait for grasshopper No. 5 to do its worst. In parallel terms: “The smaller the grasshopper, the more concentrated the evil.” Nevertheless, from where I stand, frozen in front of this sidewalk-grey insect, I am grateful it isn’t one of its fat-as-a-thumb cousins. I stomp the concrete, it hops into the grass and I give it a wide berth. When I reach the

market, the grounds thrum with a better kind of swarm. People carry reusable shopping bags, which they fill with bright carrots, purple beans, fingerling potatoes and pint baskets of plums. Families are crowded around the Little Doughnut trailer. Home-canning types pull crates of peaches on little red wagons or balance them on shoulders while sipping icy cupfuls of freshly squeezed lemonade. Without a car parked nearby, I’m mostly here to wander and, when I don’t find

a particular jeweler I came to speak with, I turn my attention to what’s ripe. With a lemonade of my own, I nudge my way through the shoppers and the families, through the canning crowd and their wagons and select just enough nectarines to eat out of hand, with enough left over for an end of summer cake. And plums, for a galette recipe I’ve been saving since last year. Then, as vendors begin to collapse their tents, I rinse a nectarine with water from a bottle, and begin the

In a small pot over medium heat, melt butter. Add brown sugar and cook, stirring constantly, for two minutes, until sugar is melted and caramelized. Pour sugar mixture into a 10-inch-square cake pan with straight sides; spread carefully and evenly over bottom of pan using an offset spatula. Arrange the nectarines in rows, covering the bottom of the pan. Set aside. For the batter, in a small bowl, whisk together the flour and baking powder. In a large bowl, using an electric hand beater, cream together the butter and sugar for two to three minutes, until light and fluffy. Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Add vanilla and cream; beat until combined. Gently stir in the flour mixture until just incorporated. Spoon batter evenly over the peaches, spreading with an offset spatula. Place pan on a baking sheet and into a 350 F oven for 65 to 70 minutes, until the top is set and springs back to the touch, and a tester inserted in the centre comes out clean. Let cool on a wire rack for 10 minutes before turning out of pan, upside down, onto a plate. Allow to cool before serving.

LOCAL NEWS

Germs may lurk in lunchboxes Canadian moms earn top marks when it comes to knowledge of proper hygiene practices, but greater precaution is needed to protect against bacteria hotspots at school, according to a new twopart study conducted by Lysol and the Global Hygiene Council. While 88 per cent of mothers said they teach their child goodhygiene practices like

hand-washing after using the washroom and coughing into the sleeve, less than half clean and disinfect their child’s lunchbox regularly. “A lunchbox is supposed to keep kids’ food safe but, in some cases, the lunchbox can do the exact opposite,” said Donald Low, microbiologist-in-chief at Mount Sinai Hospital in Toronto.

“If lunchboxes are not cleaned daily, small spills and crumbs can lead to bacteria growth and spread to readyto-eat food, potentially causing children to get food poisoning or sick with diarrhea.” Improper storage of packed lunches can also cause foodborne illness. Less than half (43 per cent) of Canadian moms said they refrigerate their child’s lunch

after preparation. Improper food storage puts kids at an increased risk of coming into contact with bacteria such as E. coli and salmonella, which could cause serious illness and force kids to stay home from school. Considering 35 per cent of Canadian moms said doing well academically is their biggest worry when their child

goes back to school, these findings may be especially significant. Parents should refrigerate their child’s lunch box after preparation and consider using a freezer pack or cool bag to help keep your child’s lunch chilled. More information is available online at hygienecouncil.com, or at lysol.ca.

Learn more about non-browning Arctic apple Do we really need an apple that doesn’t brown? Enzymatic browning affects the bottom line of the entire apple supply chain and a non-browning apple can provide key benefits: • Growers will lose fewer apples to bruising; • Packers will have more apples of higher grade to sell; • Fresh-cut apples for retailers and food service will have a decreased cost and improved quality; • Juice processors will have clearer

juice for more product opportunities; • Consumers will eat more apples. Are there any nutrient differences between Arctic apples and conventional or organic apples? Essentially, Arctic fruit is identical to other apples, with two main differences: • Arctic apples don’t brown when bruised, bitten or cut; • Browning consumes some healthpromoting anti-oxidants; Arctic apples retain all of those anti-oxidants; Are Arctic apple trees an environ-

mental threat to conventional or organic apple trees? No. Apple trees don’t escape and grow in the wild like other plants. Apple blossoms are pollinated by bees, not by the wind, so the risk of “gene flow” from an Arctic to a conventional or organic orchard is extremely low. Arctic grower standards will require buffer distances between Arctic apple orchards and other orchards to virtually eliminate any risks. newscanada.com

TRAVEL

Netherlands home to hidden treasures of Hague By Rick Millikan SPECIAL TO KTW travelwriterstales.com

ost North Americans fly to Schiphol Airport, then onward to other European destinations or catch trains into fascinating Amsterdam. An express takes us south to Netherland’s less-visited capital, the Hague, to view its many art treasures. On a walking tour, we soon find The Hague represents both lofty art and high ideals. “King Willem II’s brother-in-law, Tsar Nicholas, initiated the first international peace conference here,” our guide Henrik recounts. “This initiative inspired philanthropist Andrew Carnegie to fund this beautiful Peace Palace. “Completed in 1913, it didn’t prevent World War I, yet led to the World Court and 150 international-law organizations working here to resolve future conflicts.” Beside a wroughtiron gate, an eternal peace flame burns amid a mosaic with an array of minerals representing each nation. The classic Noordeinde Palace and public royal garden encompass one square block. An equestrian statue of Willem II faces the main entrance in a park. Henrik notes: “Separated from his aristocratic Russian wife Anna, Willem never entered this palace. When their great-granddaughter Juliana became queen, she often left that regal home, pedalling a bicycle, waving gaily to her admiring public!” On a street lined with shops, a nondescript gate leads into a floral courtyard surrounded by rowhouses. Chatting with friendly residents, we hear how wealthy employers constructed this rectangle of cozy dwellings for elderly servants and how similar almshouses existed for the unfortunate since the Middle Ages. Departing, we’re handed tasty Koffee candies.

This 13-century castle in The Hague is surrounded by the parliament buildings. Rick Milliken photo

Strolling into a shaded promenade, Henrik explains: “The fashionable elite once sipped and spilled coffee in their carriages while slowly circling the boulevards. A nobleman replaced these hot drinks with Koffees invented when his maid overboiled a brew into a sugary mass.” Dutch East Indies planters built mansions here. Some serve now as embassies, another a museum displaying Escher’s optic art. One party palace became the elegant East Indies Hotel. A canal-like moat surrounds the original city, as early rulers disliked the esthetics of walls. Inside, this rich imperial capital presents baroque, neo-classic and art-nouveau buildings reflecting old world splendour. Gothic Protestant churches soar heavenward. City hall, adorned with red shutters and step-gable roof, stands in the centre. Even the Pizza Hut boasts an ornate interior. The Netherlands’ parliament stretches alongside the former court pond and, surprisingly, encloses the city’s earliest structures, the count of Holland’s hunting lodge and adjoining 1248 palace. From the courtyard, one gateway opens onto today’s glassy legislative building; another exits toward the grand threestorey Mauritshuis.

Prince John Maurice built Maurice-House in 1641 on the edge of the royal court. It evolved into a prestigious art museum displaying an extraordinary Dutch Golden Age collection. These masterpieces typically convey delightful, insightful stories. Rembrandt’s Simeon’s Song of Praise depicts an uplifting biblical tale, while Jan Steen’s works warn against wanton behaviors. We grin at Steen’s portrayal of ensembles of citizens receiving

comeuppance for silly debaucheries. All admire Vermeer’s Girl with a Pearl Earring, considered northern Europe’s Mona Lisa. Yet, on the opposite wall, his lesser-known View of Delft overwhelms us with unsurpassed technique. Suspected of setting up a camera obscura inside a riverside pub, Vermeer captured Delft at a crystal-clear moment amid white clouds, rippling cobalt blue water and golden shore. Another nearby museum contains an unfamiliar masterpiece. Beyond an array of watercolours and oil paintings, stairs lead us into a sunlit rotunda. Here, Mesdag’s amazing 14-metre-high, 120-metre circumference panorama magically presents North Sea activities swirling around an 1881 village with The Hague rising in the distance. A tram whisks us back to our hotel. After extolling Dutch art, we ask the desk clerk about The Hague appearing more spacious and green than other cities in Holland.

LUXURY GETAWAYS & SCENIC DESTINATIONS

She says: “Old nobility estates were utilized to create large parks and greenways. “Our city is also greener in another respect! Buildings feature eco-friendly designs, such as our own lowenergy radiant heating. And, guests can use our bicycles!” Thus, pedalling along bikeways through prim neighbourhoods and leafy parks, we’re soon visiting Mesdag’s

fishing village. The depicted neoclassic royal pavilion and 1886 Hotel Kurhaus remain on a beachside knoll. Now, one of The Hague’s two popular beach resorts, millions come here yearly to frolic. Viewing open-air restaurants, kiosks and a long, two-level pier, we merrily roll along the esplanade. Off the wide 11-kilo-

metre stretch of shoreline families create sand castles, couples picnic and kite-boarders sail through the surf. This off-the-beatentrack capital has long promoted art, world harmony and wholesome lifestyles. We now realize The Hague itself is a world treasure.

FAITH

You need to be on the list to get into heaven “Not everyone who says to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven” (Matt. 7:21) Some strange things happen because of mistaken identity. Many years ago, it was reported a gas-station operator was present at a meeting in the White House at which the president briefed NARAYAN MITRA officials You Gotta Have on the FAITH subject of energy and security. It happened an employee in a U.S. senator’s office gave the White House staff the name and address of the operator by mistake. He received the invitation meant for a union vice-president with the same name who was a well-known visitor to the White House. When the station operator left

the important policy-making meeting, he commented to the reporters that he had received information “just like the big shots.” Television cameras covered his arrival and departure from that famous Washington residence. Someone told him he had become a celebrity, to which he responded: “Just for today. Tomorrow, I am right back from where I started from.” Human judgment is continually subject to errors like that. But, when we stand before the judge of all the earth, there will be no slip-ups. 2 Timothy 2:19 says, “The Lord knows them that are His.” We can be assured the only people who will be allowed into His presence are those on His “guest or residency list.” One of my friends used to say: “There will surely be some surprises in heaven — some will be there we did not expect. And, some others will be missing we thought would be present.” No “big shots” will enter there, no not even for a day, but only sinners saved by grace.

In the same passage, Jesus told of a parable of two houses — one built on solid rock and the other on deceptive sand and their fate in the face of severe storm and deluge. He said of the house that was built on rock that “yet the house did not fall, because it had its foundation on the rock” (Matt 7:25). Man’s most serious problem is not political or economic, it is spiritual. He is a rebel against the King of kings, and all other problems are but the results of this rebellion. The heart of every problem is still the problem of the heart and that problem can never be solved apart from faith in the Saviour. Whether it is a problem at home, or in a nation (like what has gone on in Syria for so long) — is a projection of individual unrest. A true Christian can weather any storm in life and still keep standing. If we are grounded upon the rock (Jesus), we need not collapse. Children, if they are surrounded by love, faith, godly example and scriptural teachings, will never stray but grow up normal in an

abnormal society. The economy might get worse, but it cannot blot out the promise of Matthew 6:33 which says: “First seek the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all other things will be added to you.” Someone has defined a North American today as one who “knows the price of everything and the value of nothing.” In earlier generations, thank God, that definition scarcely applied. People knew what things cost and learnt what they were genuinely worth. Moses made his decision to leave Egypt on the basis of spiritual values that were important to him. We, too, need to learn real values — the things that matter most. These values are given in the Word of God. Nehemiah built walls of Jerusalem in troubled times. David wrote many of the psalms when Israel was in turmoil because of inefficient leadership of King Saul. The prophet Jeremiah wrote his great book when the Babylonians

were encircling Jerusalem, preparing to destroy the city. Daniel and John wrote their books while in exile. A crisis reveals what we are really made up of. The family or the person who fall apart because of a crisis cannot blame the economy or the socialists — they can only blame themselves. We who call ourselves people of faith must live by faith. If the latest news about recession or inflation make us tremble, we need to ask ourselves, “Where is our faith?” God is shaking things up before our eyes these days so “that those things that cannot be shaken may remain” (Heb. 12:27). 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.

In Loving Memory of MARY HELEN (ELLA) GALLAHER September 17, 1923- September 14, 2012 It is with great sadness that we announce the peaceful passing of our mother Ella; just three days shy of her 89th birthday. Ella was predeceased by her father and mother John and Margaret Doig, her loving husband Harvey, her brothers John and Dave, and sister Margaret. Ella will be lovingly remembered by her three children Bob (Debbie), Jack, and Elaine (Larry); grandchildren Sheila, Rob, Greg, Ryan, Jeff, Angela and Aaron; great grandchildren Curan, Cooper, Mira, Daelan, Kale, and Brody, as well as many nieces and nephews. Ella started dancing when she was 6 years old, and started highland dancing a few years after that. She was the second dancer to be registered with the B.C. Highland Dancing Association at the age of 16, and competed for many years throughout Western Canada, the United States, and Scotland, winning many championships along the way. Ella channeled her skill and passion for dancing, and combined that with her boundless energy to teach Highland, Tap, Ballet, Jazz, and dozens of Ethnic Folk Dances to countless students for over 60 years from her home studio in Vancouver. In addition to her teaching career and raising a wonderful family, somehow she managed to Ànd the time to give back to the community even more through countless volunteer hours with the MACTE Service Club, the Collingwood Concert Party, and the Vancouver Folk Festival. There are literally thousands of folks who have been entertained over the years by watching Ella’s pupils perform their choreographed dance routines at Lower Mainland schools, hospitals, veterans facilities, extended care facilities, correctional institutions, community stages, as well as the Queen Elizabeth Theatre and Kitsilano ShowBoat. In Ella’s later years, she really enjoyed her 5 Pin Bowling League, as well as a few rounds of any type of card game … especially cribbage. Always a good cook, she continued to make her special shortbread and canned jams until very recently, which her children scrambled to get Àrst dibs on. After growing up and living in Vancouver for most of her life, Ella had moved with Harvey to Kamloops in 2001. The family would like to express our warmest thanks and gratitude to all the wonderful staff at the Overlander Extended Care Hospital in Kamloops. Thank you! A Celebration of Ella’s life will be held in the Chapel at Schoening Funeral Service 513 Seymour Street, Kamloops B.C. on Saturday September 22, 2012 at 2:00 pm. The family requests that any expressions of sympathy take the form of donations to the Alzheimer’s Society of B.C. 543 Battle Street, Kamloops, BC (250) 377-8200.
