BEEF RECALL LARGEST EVER IN CANADA The Canadian Food Inspection Agency is in the midst of the largest recall of beef in Canadian history, a recall that covers a variety of stores in every province and territory in the country, 40 of the 52 U.S. states and Puerto Rico. The recall is connected to possible E. coli contamination in beef products produced in the XL Foods meat-processing plant in Brooks, Alta. The CFIA’s recall has affected 1,500 beef products as of this week. See the Canadian Food Inspection Agency website at inspection. gc.ca for a full list of recalled products or call 1-800-442-2342 for more information. There have been illnesses in Alberta linked to tainted beef from XL Foods, while a number of E. coli cases in Saskatchewan may be linked. No E. coli cases have been reported in B.C. The CFIA is warning consumers to not eat the meat involved in the recall. Stores and restaurants are not to sell or serve the products, which were manufactured at the XL Foods plant on Aug. 24, Aug. 27, Aug. 28, Aug. 29 and Sept. 5.

Strike could impact classes By Tim Petruk STAFF REPORTER

GETTING SET FOR A GHOULISH RIDE Kamloops Heritage Railway volunteer Liz Ekering, also known as the Black Widow, haunted the Kamloops Farmers’ Market this week, carrying her character’s husband’s head inside a hat box. The Black Widow is just one of myriad spooky characters who make the annual Ghost Train one of the most-popular Halloween-season events in Kamloops. The train will leave on the nights of Oct. 13, Oct. 14, Oct. 20, Oct. 21, Oct. 27 and Oct. 28 from the Kamloops Heritage Railway office on Lorne Street. The rides sell out quickly. To book passage on the ghoulish journey — and to find out what happened to the body that belongs to the head in the box — email info@kamrail.com or call 250-374-2141. Dave Eagles/KTW

If unionized support staff at Thompson Rivers University decide to walk off the job, it could mean no classes on campus. That’s the word from the president of the university’s faculty association, which has sent out memos to its membership outlining its strike policy. Jason Brown, president of the TRU Faculty Association, said members are aware of the association’s policy to not cross picket lines. “If there was a fullblown strike, then it’s possible there would be no classes,” he said. “But, if it’s localized to one or two buildings, then it may not affect campuswide.” CUPE Local 4879, which represents 607 support workers on TRU’s campus, served 72-hour strike notice on Monday, Oct. 1 — meaning they could walk off the job as early as today (Oct. 4). The union represents filing clerks, janitors, cafeteria aides, research assistants and book buyers. In August, 68 per cent of local membership voted 83 per cent in favour of strike action. The issues, the union says, are job security, inflation protection and wage increases. CUPE workers on the

campus of the University of Victoria issued strike notice last month and have been conducting escalating job action — including overtime bans and some building closures — since the start of the fall semester. In addition to TRU’s unionized support staff, CUPE workers on the campuses of Simon Fraser University of the University of Northern B.C. also issued strike notice on Monday. Christopher Seguin, TRU’s vice-president of advancement, stressed there have been no interruptions for Kamloops students as of yet. “Currently, there are no interruptions to classes and services at TRU and we remain hopeful that the parties can reach an agreement without disruptions,” he said. “It’s important to note that negotiations have never stopped, and we’re extremely optimistic.” Seguin said the university is working hard to come to a resolution. “We’re going to do everything we can within our mandate to come to a fair settlement and minimize any disruptions to our students,” he said. Brown echoed that sentiment. “No one wants a labour dispute ever,” he said. “Hopefully, the parties can resolve their issues.” The two sides are slated to meet again on Oct. 18.

Trudeaumania 2? Justin Trudeau’s decision to seek Grit leadership has created a national buzz, but MP McLeod won’t comment By Andrea Klassen STAFF REPORTER andrea@kamloopsthisweek.com

It’s not Trudeaumania yet, but Kamloops members of the federal Liberal party are largely happy to have Justin Trudeau in the hunt to lead the venerable organization. After months of speculation, Trudeau, the 40-year-old MP for Montreal-Papineau, has officially launched his campaign for the Liberal leadership. Bob Rae has been interim leader since the party was devastated in the 2011 federal election, which saw thenleader Michael Ignatieff lose his seat and step down. While Trudeau is the most prominent party member seeking the position so far, Kamloops-Thompson-Cariboo riding association president Murray Todd is hoping to see a full slate of “engaging” candidates by the time the campaign officially begins on Nov. 14. But, he said, Trudeau’s bid does bring excitement to the party’s third such race since 2006. “He’s popular, we certainly can’t deny that, can we? He’s energetic, he’s a sharp guy and he’s dedicated. He would be a good candidate,” Todd said. Chris Wilkinson, riding association treasurer, is still making up his mind about the candidate, but said there are aspects of Trudeau that are attractive for the party. “I think we need the youth of Justin Trudeau,” he said. “Definitely, the infusion of some your will help us along.” However Ben Gayfer, chairman of the Young Liberals in Kamloops, said he needs to see more from Trudeau than youth before he’ll throw his support behind him. “I’m waiting for policy from him more than anything,” Gayfer said. “He’s obviously a very influential person because of his name and he’s made a name for himself also in his

Will Justin Trudeau rejuvenate the Liberal Party of Canada? Tell us why or why not by sending your thoughts to editor@kamloopsthisweek.com. writing. But, I think waiting to see what he has to say for national policy would be the first thing, really.” Gayfer said finding someone with charisma and an ability to connect with voters will be key — as will finding someone who has the skills to better organize the party. “Someone maybe who doesn’t necessarily have a top-down approach, but can embrace the grassroots.” Trudeau’s biggest Kamloops booster so far may be a former colleague of his father. Len Marchand, Sr. served in Pierre Trudeau’s government as Liberal MP for Kamloops in the 1960s and 1970s and was appointed to the Senate by the senior Trudeau in 1984. “I don’t know what some people have, but he seems to have a charisma that is very much like his father’s,” Marchand said. “I remember when his father came here in ’68 the first time. We had about 9,000 people turn out in North Kamloops. I don’t know what makes that go, but he does have that charisma.” When contacted by KTW, Trudeau’s Kamloops colleague in the House of Commons declined to share her thoughts on her fellow MP. Conservative MP Cathy McLeod said through her assistant that the Liberal leadership is an “internal process” and it wouldn’t be appropriate for her to comment. The election of the next Liberal leader will take place on April 14, 2013.

Topping Trees is a ‘Growing Problem’ STOP TOPPING TREES

RESULTS OF TOPPING

The tree retaliates by producing an unruly crop of weakly-attached watersprouts, prone to disease and breakage. Disease enters via the stub ends, making the tree a short-lived and potentially dangerous one. The tree ends up looking even bulkier than before; it soon needs re-pruning.

1. Remove dead, damaged, or diseased branches. 2. Remove suckers and watersprouts. 3. Remove badly placed branches: t $SPTTJOH PS SVCCJOH FBDI other t (SPXJOH JOUP DFOUSF PG USFF t (SPXJOH JOUP XBMLXBZT SPBEXBZT or buildings 4. If desired, trim slender branch tips a few inches, to a bud or a parent branch.

Stub ends are a sign of poor pruning. This kind of pruning destroys the health & beauty of the tree.

Prune It Right! Four easy steps:

Prune It Right! Here’s how: Make mostly thinning cuts (removal of branches right back to the parent branch or trunk). Avoid creating stub ends. Make your cuts just outside the branch collar (a slight thickening where the branch joins its parent branch or trunk). Flush cuts destroy the tree’s defense zone. Remember: remove no more than 20% of the green.

Now stand back and admire the great pruning job. Your tree will look airy and graceful, and your pruning job will stay done much longer than stub-end pruning. Trees add beauty and value to your home. Protect your investment with proper pruning. Attend our workshop #199432 Pruning Fruit Trees, Ornamentals, and Shrubs on October 24, 2012. To register call 250-828-3500

Many faces to homelessness By Andrea Klassen STAFF REPORTER andrea@kamloopsthisweek.com

While a count of Kamloops’ street homeless is due later this month, the Kamloops Homelessness Action Plan (KHAP) is putting the spotlight on those in the community grappling with homelessness in less-obvious ways. As part of this year’s Homelessness Action Week, which runs from Oct. 8 to Oct. 12, the group is asking people who spend 30 per cent or more of their household income on housing to donate their faces to a new awareness campaign. “Homelessness isn’t just about one type of housing,” KHAP co-ordinator Tangie Genshorek said. “It’s about a whole bunch of different

types of people, all the way from street homeless through to the working poor. So, we really want to try to convey that range of people in need.” To get involved, submit a close-up digital photo online at kamloopshap.ca. The campaign runs until Nov. 15, at which point the images will be used in a video due out in December. Genshorek said Kamloops’ homelessness situation isn’t that different from other cities across the country. Homeless counts have typically found about 100 street homeless people living in Kamloops (though last year, that number was down by more than half) and studies by the Social Planning and Research Council of B.C. estimate there’s a hidden homeless popu-

lation of just under 1,200. “There’s a lot of people that are staying with friends temporarily or even moving home temporarily,” she said. “Sometimes people don’t picture that as homelessness, but it is. “If you don’t have the ability to maintain your own housing, then you are hidden homeless.” Genshorek said she’s not sure how many people in Kamloops would be paying more than 30 per cent for housing — the line at which housing crosses from affordable to not, according to the Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation. While the organization is looking at census data for a study it’s conducting with the Kamloops Housing Board, it’s not always

clear how many people are sharing a home and what kind of income they’re bringing in. “This is going to be kind of an interesting way of getting a quick snapshot of what’s happening in Kamloops,” Genshorek said. To round out the week, KHAP is also planning a street party for Kamloops’ homeless and those at risk of homelessness in Spirit Square on MacKenzie Avenue on Friday, Oct. 12. Genshorek said the goal of the party is to connect those in need with organizations in the city that can offer support in “a public, sort of non-threatening location.” The event will include a free barbecue, live band and DJ. Interior Health Authority street nurses will also offer free flu shots.

Volunteers needed for count The Kamloops Homelessness Action Plan and several other city organizations will be undertaking the annual homeless count on Thursday, Oct. 18 and Friday, Oct. 19. The goals of the count include expanding the supplies offered to the homeless and increasing the number of volunteers and the involvement of local shelters and institutions serving homeless people. The end result will be a comprehensive report that will be available to the public and policymakers. The first count in Kamloops took place in 2005 and was performed by TRUE Consulting and sponsored by the City of Kamloops. This year, the count process will be expanded, using the Counting Homelessness — Guidelines for a Standardized Method for BC Communities, produced by the province. Service Canada is providing fed-

eral funds under the Homelessness Partnering Strategy to address housing and homelessness in the community. The city is giving $5,000 to ASK Wellness, in partnership with the Homelessness Action Plan, to conduct the count. Also taking part in the count are the Kamloops Alliance Church, Kamloops Community Safety, the Tk’emlups Indian Band and the United Way Thompson Nicola Cariboo. People interested in volunteering can attend a free training session at ASK Wellness Centre, 433 Tranquille Rd., on Friday, Oct. 12, or Monday, Oct. 15, from 5 p.m. to 6 p.m. Pre-registration is not required. The complete reports on counts in Kamloops and Merritt will be available in early November, through the HAP website at kamloopshap.ca and the ASK Wellness website at askwellness.ca.

Mounties seek teenagers POLICE BEAT Kamloops RCMP Staff Sgt. Grant Learned said Catherine Jane Martin and Keenan Warren were last seen in North Kamloops at about 8:30 p.m. on Oct. 1. “The two did not attend school as planned and they did not attend cadets as scheduled,” he said. “While there has never been any problem with the behaviour of the two, the actions seem to be out of character.” Learned said Martin and Warren have been dating for about a year. Martin, who turned 14 on Monday, is a white girl, standing five-foot-10 and weighing 120 pounds, with a slim build. She has shoulder-length brown

Bank account set up for accident victim A family friend of a woman seriously injured after being struck by a car while crossing a North Kamloops intersection

last month has set up a bank account to accept donations for the victim’s family. Chloe Ardiles, 20, was hit as she crossed Fortune Drive at Fort Avenue on Sept. 7. She has been in a medically induced coma since. Police have performed a mechanical inspection of the vehicle, which was being driven by an 84-yearold Kamloops man, but are awaiting a final report. Kamloops RCMP Staff Sgt. Grant Learned said investigators are also awaiting a report from an RCMP traffic analyst. No charges have been laid against the driver as of yet. Family friend Diane Czyzewski said she has opened an account at the Bank of Montreal in Ardiles’ name (transit 07200, account 3974130).

Crash dumps man into police probe Kamloops Mounties think alcohol was to blame for a singlevehicle crash involving a dump truck on the Trans-Canada Highway on Monday, Oct. 1. RCMP Staff Sgt. Grant Learned said emergency crews were called to Highway 1 near the Lafarge exit just before 8 p.m. Witnesses reported seeing the vehicle — a dump truck hauling a trailer — “drift off the road and into the ditch,” Learned said. The crash caused significant damage to the vehicle and the driver — a 53-year-old Westwold man — had to be extricated from the truck’s cab. Police will have his blood tested to determine alcohol content. Charges have yet to be laid.

Police are looking for a pair of Kamloops teens who haven’t been seen since the night of Monday, Oct. 1.

Fire, train collision connection? Kamloops Mounties are probing whether there is a link between a grass fire in Dallas and an incident in which a man on a mountain bike was hit by a train. A grass fire, believed to have been intentionally lit, drew firefighters to the 7500-block of Dallas Drive at about 1:30 p.m. on Wednesday, Oct. 3. About 90 minutes later, emergency personnel were called to a rail crossing east of the fire, where a man on a mountain bike had been hit by a passing train. RCMP Cpl.

Witnesses near the fire reported a man had left the area while riding a bike At the scene at 4 p.m., the man, believed to be about 50 years of age, was concious and talking as he was being prepared for transport to Royal Inland Hospital. He had suffered head injuries. The grass fire was doused before it could grow to any significant size.

Study to probe Ajax’s impact on city’s image STAFF REPORTER andrea@kamloopsthisweek.com

A member of Kamloops’ Community Advisory Group (CAG) on the proposed Ajax mine said the group is planning to act together even after its role in the environmental-assessment process ends. Tony Brummel said it’s still not clear how long the group will be meeting and giving input on the assessment process. “We will be sticking together as a group and we will be doing whatever we need to do, officially or otherwise, in regards to that application,” he said. The group — whose meetings are closed to reporters — met on Tuesday, Oct. 2, for what environmentalassessment office (EAO) project direction Scott Bailey described as an update for about 20 members. Over the summer, the group examined proponent KGHM Ajax’s responses to 1,400 issues raised during a public-comment period last winter. “Those 1,400 issues, the proponent is required to respond

to each one of them, and the CAG helped us determine whether or not the proponent’s answers are adequate,” Bailey said. The EAO is still working on a list of application information requirements — information Ajax proponents will have to supply through studies.

Bailey said the community group will likely meet at least once more before that list is complete, though the next meeting date isn’t set. Brummel said the group also heard from the firm that will be conducting a socioeconomic study on the mine, an area he feels the community advisory

group has done much to raise public concerns. Brummel said the group was told the study will look at Kamloops’ public image and the mine’s potential to impact it, effects Ajax could have on air transport and “the subliminal impact from nuisance emissions like dust and noise.”

Clark’s desperation grows as provincial election approaches

ON’T GET TOO excited about Premier Christy Clark’s promise to widen the Trans-Canada Highway from Kamloops to the Alberta border. It will never happen. There are so many reasons why it won’t happen. First, the province can’t even get some roadwork done in an area just east of the city that everyone knows is a danger. Politicians have been talking about it since we moved here in 1999, but it never happens. The cost alone of such an ambitious project — Clark has added $509 million to the $141 million already in the budget to take the highway to four lanes all the way to the Rockies — is well beyond prohibitive. There’s no money there. We all know there’s no money there for health care or education or disabled folks. So, for Clark to think she can find the money to widen the highway is laughable. It was just a desperate ploy and the fact Clark didn’t give the rest of us enough credit that we would see right through her is almost as annoying as her pronouncement. Ditto for scrapping the privatization of the provincial liquor-distribution system. There is no way Clark did that because she listened to the union representing the workers. More likely, she added up the headlines of stories questioning the oh-so-close relationship between Clark, the company that has been lobbying for the change to happen and Excel’s lobbyist, the guy who happened to run Clark’s campaign for the B.C. Liberal

DALE BASS Street

LEVEL Party leadership. He also ran a campaign or two for Gordon Campbell, so his status as a card-carrying Liberal is pretty well established. I don’t even need those reasons to know there’s no way I could support Clark having another term. Just knowing she allowed her former chief of staff to continue as the boss of a female worker he allegedly harassed — and that’s a generous description — while an investigation took place is stunning. Such lack of compassion and understanding — I know, innocent until proven guilty, but really? Can you imagine being on either side of that situation? Somehow, just days after others in her cabinet told us all there’s no money for anything, Clark also managed to find another $200 million to allocate for projects that, she must be thinking, voters will love. Again, I doubt if that money is there and will be spent. I really like the government announcing all those charging stations for electric cars — eight will be installed at Thompson Rivers University — just

days before Toyota announced it isn’t going ahead with its latest planned electric car, with the company’s president saying electric cars really don’t work well in today’s society. Even this week, after saying she doesn’t know what kind of financial impact the proposed Enbridge pipeline will have in B.C., she called it chump change while sparring again with Alberta Premier Alison Redford about the Northern Gateway project. It’s one or the other — unknown or known and chump change. It can’t be both. Frankly, the next provincial election can’t come soon enough. It’s painful watching someone who is fundamentally a lame-duck premier afraid to call the legislature to order — and not too welcome in Victoria anyway, given how she described politics there as a sick culture. That doesn’t mean what comes next will be any better, but it will at least — if the polls are right — be a bit different. We’ll have a whole new cabinet to watch, question, criticize and, most likely, wish out of office in a few years. It’s the one thing I was told by friends when we were preparing to move to B.C. “The politics are strange there,” my friends said. “They go from far right to far left every few years and they’re always trying to put their premiers in jail.” At least Clark’s been spared that kind of judicial overview — although the B.C. Rail scandal is still sitting out there, with all the questions that still surround it. dale@kamloopsthisweek.com

Last night (Oct. 3), all eyes were on the first of three presidential debates in the United States as Democratic President Barack Obama squared off against Republican challenger Mitt Romney. Obama being far and away a much better speaker, with the ability to transfix viewers in a way Romney cannot hope to equal, the consensus among pundits was that Obama had the most to lose from making a significant mistake, but Romney had the greater challenge in endearing himself to voters — especially the 47 per cent he may have disparaged in May at a small fundraiser. Whether last night’s debate did anything to move the polling numbers (Obama led entering the debate in Denver) remains to seen. And, with two more debates and a month before the election, there remains time for the candidates to sway undecided voters. Meanwhile, in Canada, many eyes have been on Justin Trudeau as he this week announced he will be seeking to lead the Liberal party, which is tied so deeply to his father, Pierre Trudeau. The name alone is enough to elevate Trudeau’s leadership bid far beyond that of previous aspirants. But, compared to the brief and utterly woeful tenures of Stéphane Dion and Michael Igantieff, the possibility of a young, handsome and articulate Trudeau reaching down to rescue the once-proud party only adds to the pizazz factor his bid creates. Yes, politics is much more than style over substance (though some elections have been won via the former, not the latter) and Trudeau’s celebrity will only carry him so far. Speeches laden with clever lines will need to be augmented with policy beliefs and his vision of where Canada is going in the next decade. That challenge is also Obama’s. As fine an orator as he is, voters battered by a dismal economy during the president’s first term know full well pretty words in a splendid speech mean nothing the morning after, when jobs remain scarce and the future looks as bleak as a winter landscape on the Prairies.

THIS WEEK

Pot production should remain with mom-and-pop operations

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

A selection of comments on KTW stories, culled online

Re: Foulds column: A question for prohibitionists: If pot illegal, why not alcohol?: “Good column summarizing the futility of drug prohibition. “The kicker is, governments know the truth about cannabis. They just use prohibition for their own ends politically and, at the same time, it helps give police the tools to pluck people they/we don’t like from society. “Like in Britain when gin (the drink of the poor) was criminalized and whisky (the drink of the rich) was not. “Cannabis prohibition has nothing to do with public safety and everything to do with money, markets, control and the politics of fear.” — posted by Tony Kennedy

Re: Letter: Know the dangers of genetically modiﬁed foods: “There is no need for concern about organic seeds. “Apples are not grown from seeds. “They are grafted onto rootstocks using cuttings from the desired variety. “Just as a row of fujis planted next to a row of galas isn’t a problem, a planting of these new apples will not affect any others.” — posted by Steve Savage

An illegal walkout? Editor: Along with other union locals, CUPE 4879 at Thompson Rivers Union gave 72-hour strike notice on Monday, Oct. 1. This union, which represents support staff (anyone who doesn’t teach) at TRU, will be in a legal position to strike today (Oct. 4) at 10 a.m. I do not intend to debate the merits of their right to strike, so on that I can’t comment. However, after this news broke on campus, many of my professors have vowed to cancel class because they won’t cross the picket line. Although it’s admirable that these professors have a sense of kinship with CUPE 4879, it leads me to ask a fairly serious question: If the teachers cancel class because they will not cross the picket line, does that not amount to an illegal walkout on their part? It isn’t illegal to cross a picket line (regardless of your moral stance on it) and these university teachers have not conducted a vote on job action, so on what legal grounds can they withdraw their services and cancel class? Further, if this was deemed to be an illegal walkout, would they be opening themselves to legal action? Could an enterprising student or the university pursue damages against them? Justin Greek Kamloops

Editor: Re: Christopher Foulds’ column of Oct. 2 (‘A question for prohibitionists: If pot illegal, why not alcohol?’): Grass creates a lot of income for a lot of people. Many growers and plenty of dealers do not want pot to be legal because it would, in fact, take away their livelihoods. Yes, it is true gangs and other organized crime depend on the sale of weed to finance their many other illeagal enterprises — such as cocaine, heroin, meth and ectasy, which always seem to be on the streets — but there are also many mom and pop growers who also fund their lives by growing and selling marijuana. If government wants to get in on those sales, it will have to issue licences to these people and create some kind of quality-control board to make sure there are no chemicals in the products If government makes it so the products these people grow are not legal, government is actually stealing livelihoods, which is wrong. Treading carefully is what is needed. Why take their lives from them? Is

there a way we can legalize pot and not hurt these people? I challenge govenment with the task of finding a way to police an industry in which all types of people grow pot in order to make ends meet, without cutting its own head off. Can it be done without hurting these people while getting nasty gangs and morally bankrupt people, who also sell other drugs, out of the picture? This is not a prohibition like that of booze last century, when illegal alcohol was run by some very nasty gangs alone. It’s a question of how we would make it so the little people still have a right to grow and sell their product without letting nasty people do the same. The questions on how it can be done are numerous and the issue is very real. These people do not deserve to fall in with the nasty gang people and it would be unjust if they lost their living. Glenn Powell Kamloops

Reading into why too many of us still cannot read Editor: Close to one-third of Canadians cannot read these words. Why? Briefly put, when it comes to teaching reading, the keystone for academic and life success, three things are perfectly clear: • First, we must be doing a lousy job when millions of adult Canadians have such low levels of literacy that they can not even read the headlines in a daily newspaper. According to Statistics Canada, nearly half of working-age Canadians have some difficulty with reading materials encountered in everyday life. In B.C., more than 40 per cent of adults struggle with low literacy skills, according to Literacy B.C. Their big problem was grade school. Literacy skills are to a large extent acquired in school, according to the Organisation for Economic Co-operation

BERT GATIEN 250-319-0227 1.888.374-3022 bgatien@telus.net

and Development. Yet, according to Shirley Bond, the province’s former education minister, one in three B.C. adults struggles to read a restaurant menu or a bus schedule Attrition begins early. Nearly 30 per cent of our third-graders provincially are failing to read at a basic level, which means they are unable to read and understand a simple paragraph from an age-appropriate children’s book. Even among those who finally do finish high school, 20 per cent lack sufficient literacy skills to access post-secondary learning. • Second, today we do know what works for almost all children — research-based, planned, linguistic/phonetic instruction delivered directly. Through the use of teaching methods scientifically proven to work, virtually any child can master the mechanics of reading within a year of having learned to speak the language.

• Third, we also know what the problem is — the trendy whole-language philosophy with all its incarnates, including balanced reading and reading recovery. This reading-by-the word-guessing game, in which reading skills are expected to blossom spontaneously, is unfortunately a fad that is sweeping the country. Because of it, untold number of adults are handicapped readers. Remember this fact: If kids don’t learn to read well by the third grade, they’re educationally dead. Fortunately, the goal of all children reading proficiently by the end of third grade is well within our grasp. However, if we always do what we’ve always done, we’ll always get what we’ve always gotten. Lal Sharma Chilliwack

LOCAL NEWS NOTICE OF PERMISSIVE PROPERTY TAX EXEMPTION

CITY HALL

Pursuant to Section 227 of the Community Charter, Council will consider a by-law to provide property tax exemptions on October 16, 2012 at 1:30 p.m. in Council Chambers at City Hall, 7 Victoria Street West, Kamloops, B.C. V2C 1A2

Three-dog right could be approved A family whose application to keep three dogs on their Barnhartvale property was shot down last month by city council will get a second chance to argue their case. Kamloops council this week agreed to allow Otto Duczak to appeal the decision. He will make his pitch on Oct. 16. In a 5-4 vote on Sept. 18, council decided to not allow the Duczaks to keep three dogs because of the family’s history of dog-at-large complaints.

Spina suggests senior speed zones A Kamloops city councillor is pushing for a pilot project that would see new reduced speed zones created in areas with large populations of seniors. Marg Spina has asked the city’s traffic planners to look at creating what she calls “senior speed zones.” The suggestion comes after resident Errol Borsky wrote to council to complain about safety conditions on Desmond Street in Brocklehurst, where pedestrians and vehicles are separated by a painted line, rather than an elevated sidewalk. Borsky said he and his elderly mother, who is a resident of Riverview Lodge, are often startled by vehicles while walking on the street, with cars sometimes swerving at the last minute to avoid them. Spina said Desmond Street could be a good location for a speed-zone pilot project. “I think it would be a very low-cost thing that we could try,” Spina said. “There’s only one thing worse than having something fail — and that’s not to try anything.”

Public to have input on development idea A proposed Westsyde subdivision across from the Dunes Golf Course is headed to public hearing. Kamloops council has voted unanimously to hold a hearing on the rezoning of 4000 Westsyde Rd. from agricultural to country-residential. The move would allow owner West Pince Development Ltd. to split the nine-hectare parcel into six lots (the smallest lot size allowed under its current zoning is eight hectares). Development and engineering services director Marvin Kwiatkowski told council the property does have some rockfall issues due to steep cliffs on the site’s southwest corner, though the hazard is considered very low. To address that, city staff are asking that portions of the parcel that aren’t developable be zoned as open space.

The proposed exemptions are described in the following table. Proposed by-law is for a one year (2013) exemption only: Estimated Value of Tax Exemption 1/3rd Exempt 2/3rd Exempt 100% Exempt 2013 2014 2015

LOCAL NEWS Requirements imposed by the city have stopped the owner of the lot on West Victoria Street (left) at the former Whiteway Cleaners site from turning it into a public parking lot. A parking lot just west of the Kamloops YMCA-YWCA (below) will also be closing to the public at the end of the year due to city bylaw requirements. Dave Eagles photos/KTW

city staff to determine what else it can do with the lot. “I think the property is more valuable for the community longer term for something other than a parking lot,” he said. “Should the Y ever want to redevelop or add on, having the property zoned for those purposes is probably of more value to us than having it zoned as a parking lot.” Under the city’s bylaw, a landowner can get a temporary use permit for a maximum of six years, in two threeyear terms. Impark operations on the lot will end on Dec. 31, 2012. Reid said it’s not clear yet what the lot will be used for, but it may be used exclusively for YMCA member

parking in the short term. Plans for a different temporary lot also stalled earlier this summer. Impark’s Maria Wetterstrand said the owners of the former Whiteway Cleaners site on West Victoria Street had asked the company to set up a parking lot on the vacant land. Monthly parking would have cost $25. But, when the owner was told by the city he would have to do landscaping and other work on the lot, he balked, Wetterstrand said. “So, he now has a weed-infested lot and people park there anyway for free. So, that was, I guess, the better alternative.” She said it’s frustrating, given the parking

crunch in the downtown, but there’s not much her company can do. “It’s not my fight, unfortunately. We work for owners. We can only do so much.” City planning and development manager Randy Lambright said staff tried to work with the lot owner, but the city has design standards that must to be met. “We provided them with some options — we didn’t say no. We said it would have to go through some kind of a process. “In other words, pave it, drain it, landscape it or whatever, right?” he said. “To just have a dirt lot there is not in keeping with the standards of the city-centre plan.”

More than 40 parking spaces available for monthly and hourly use will be disappearing from the downtown stock at the end of 2012. The off-street lot, managed by Impark and owned by the Kamloops YMCA/YWCA, is located next to the YMCA’s Battle Street facility. For about seven years, it’s been covered by temporary-use permits from the city, which allow a different use for the property without requiring a permanent zoning change. However, Colin Reid, chief executive officer of the Kamloops YMCA/YWCA, told KTW the latest temporary permit has expired and city policy doesn’t allow for another renewal. To keep the parking lot operating as it is, the YMCA would need to have the lot rezoned for that use. Reid said that’s not an option that interests the YMCA at this time. Instead, the organization is working with

Tristan Fernandez was arrested on April 17 — five days after fire gutted a home on Clearwater Avenue and killed a family pet. The 15-year-old will spend another year behind bars before being placed on a three-year probation term. The blaze was one of more than 50 suspicious fires in Kamloops in the last year. Police would not comment on whether they believe the 15-year-old is responsible for any other arsons.

Pot and more from UBCM conference ter James Moore said UBCM’s other vote on marijuana — to decriminalize it — won’t sway the federal government. “We’re elected on a platform that very explicitly said we are not interested in legalizing marijuana.”

“The federal government is encouraging us to go across the border and increase our spending,” Castlegar Coun. Dan Rye said. But, the motion was defeated after Creston Coun. Wesly Graham opposed it and said Ottawa should simply tighten the current lax collection of duties and taxes by Canadian border guards.

Cities push B.C.-wide shark-ﬁn ban

Thumbs down on casino beneﬁt reform

UBCM

UBCM delegates voted by a wide margin to ask the province to outlaw the possession or sale of shark fins that Chinese restaurants turn into coveted bowls of shark-fin soup. Activists have been going from city to city in Metro Vancouver, convincing councils to impose local bans, but North Vancouver City Coun. Craig Keating said a provincial ban is preferable, along with a federally imposed ban on shark-fin imports, to combat the “inhumane and wasteful” practice of harvesting sharks for fins.

tions are pitting communities against each other,” he said. “It’s creating an injustice between local governments around the province.” Port Coquitlam reps said they didn’t intend for host cities to lose money, suggesting the province could keep them whole while providing a per capita share of gaming profits to the have-nots — a scenario many at UBCM considered unlikely. Other delegates said have-not cities made their choice in the past not to have a casino – or the local costs and impacts that sometimes accompany them.

Thursday, October 18th!

Cross-border cash drain debated The cash drain on local businesses from cross-border shopping inspired one UBCM resolution that generated debate. Castlegar council proposed a resolution to lobby the federal government to rescind its recent loosening of overnight duty-free limits, which significantly increased the value of goods Canadians can bring back after trips of at least 24 hours.

concerns about how it would work. Advocates said the current system in which only host cities get 10 per cent of gambling profits divides cities into winners and losers and should be reformed to spread the wealth. Port Coquitlam Mayor Greg Moore said most patrons now are registered through player cards so the B.C. Lottery Corp. can easily estimate how much money is spent at a given casino by people who live outside that host city, allowing benefits to be apportioned equitably to other municipalities. “The current regula-

B.C. civic leaders have called for tighter controls on Health Canada-licensed medical-marijuana growers, citing public safety and nuisance issues. The vote came during the same Union of B.C. Municipalities convention that saw delegates vote to support decriminalization of marijuana. “We need to find a way to know where these are so we can provide some regulatory control,” North Cowichan regional district director Al Siebring said. He said most busts of pot grow-ops turn out to be licensed by Health Canada, but are growing “far, far more” than permitted and are increasingly linked to organized crime. The Surrey-sponsored resolution calls on the federal government to force medical-marijuana growers to first get a municipal permit or licence showing the grow site complies with local bylaws and electrical, fire, health, building and safety regulations. It’s the first time UBCM has actually approved the demand. It came to the convention floor in the previous two years, but was tabled each time amid concerns from some civic leaders that a crackdown would breach growers’ privacy and reduce medical-marijuana access. Ottawa is already moving to phase out the current individual licences to grow medical pot and instead direct authorized users to buy from permitted commercial growers. Senior B.C.

Are they out of their minds?

UNICIPALITIES in B.C. want the federal government to decriminalize pot. Are they out of their minds? This was a question posed to us when it was announced that B.C. municipal leaders at the annual Union of B.C. Municipalities had voted in favour of a resolution calling for the decriminalization of marijuana Decriminalization is not quite the same as legalizing pot. When you legalize something, you make it totally acceptable. When you decriminalize it, you reduce the punishment or change the restrictions regarding it — two very different things. At this stage, we are not going to take a stand for or against decriminalizing marijuana because, like so many issues, there are no clear right and wrong approaches. The current method of handling marijuana distribution and use has some strengths and a great many weaknesses — and this makes it tempting to jump on the decriminalization bandwagon, which also has some strengths and a great many weaknesses. Any substance that alters your brain and changes your mood should be considered suspect and potentially dangerous — and that includes medicines. There are so many factors to consider in a decision such as this that it may be fair to say one position cannot fit the needs of the whole community, the entire society or even all individuals. So, in the absence of a position for or against decriminalization of marijuana, what are the best statistics we have? According to Health Canada, this is what we know: • Among Canadians

15 years and older, the prevalence of past-year cannabis use decreased to 9.1 per cent from 10.7 per cent in 2010.• The prevalence of cannabis use decreased since 2004 to 12.2 per cent from 18.2 per cent among adults and to 21.6 per cent from 37 per cent for youth ages 15 to 24. •Among youth ages 15 to 24 years, use of at least one of five illicit drugs (cocaine or crack, speed, hallucinogens excluding salvia, ecstasy and heroin) decreased since 2004 to 4.8 per cent from 11.3 per cent. The bad news is that the rate of drug use by 15- to 24-year-

olds is much higher than that reported by adults 25 years and older. Cannabis use by youths is three times higher and the use of any one of five drugs is five times higher. • Seventy-eight per cent of Canadians over 15 years of age drank alcohol, which is unchanged from past years. But, 25 per cent of Canadians exceeded the guidelines for safe amounts of alcohol use, putting them at either chronic risk or acute risk of damaging their health or being involved in an accident. So much for citing the decriminalization of alcohol as a

reason to do the same for marijuana; in fact, alcohol remains one of the most dangerous and socially damaging drugs in our culture. These are the statistics and one side or the other will warp them to fit their arguments. The key to good mental health is to remember that developing brains (under 24 years of age) respond differently to drugs than do brains in older adults, and brain development is easily impacted in people under 25 years of age. We need to stress that moderation — even for good things — is always healthier than excesses. Until next time, thank you for asking us this question and keep those questions coming to kamloops@ cmha.bc.ca because we love to hear from you.

Credit Score and Home Buying Part I Does living a debt-free lifestyle make you the best candidate for a mortgage? You manage your money well and you purchase only what you can pay cash for. You have no credit cards or loans of any kind! You must be what every lender dreams of when it comes to obtaining a mortgage, right? Well, not so fast… Let’s take a look at one of the key aspects of lending: your credit score. When applying for a mortgage, your credit score weighs heavily when it comes to the mortgage rates you will be offered, the lenders who will work with you or whether you will be denied in your search for a loan. In essence, it can make or break your mortgage application. By definition, a credit score is simply a measure of your proven habits of repaying debt. For that reason, you must repay something to have a positive score, like credit card payments, car payments and small bank loans to name a few. People who do not have or use credit cards and insist on paying cash for everything are often surprised when they are refused for a mortgage because they believe their habit of paying cash should reflect “good credit”. Credit scores are rated on a point system, ranging from 0 (no credit), to a maximum of 900 (perfect credit), with the general minimum credit needed for a mortgage sitting at around 600 points. A person who pays cash for all things will likely have a 0 credit score because they have zero history of repaying debt. So what does this mean to a first time homebuyer? Do your credit card repayment patterns reveal good things about you? As a rule of thumb, a person should use two credit cards regularly and pay them off each month to build a positive credit score. A repayment for a bill as little as $10 will build your score and produce a proven habit of repaying debt. There are two major credit score suppliers in Canada: Equifax and Transunion. Each has a credit education center for those who would like to do further reading:

GLOBAL VIEWS

Might this be Hugo Chavez’s swan song?

T IS IMAGINABLE — not certain, but certainly possible — that Hugo Chavez, Venezuela’s strongman ruler since 1998, will lose the presidential election on Sunday, Oct. 7. The most recent opinion polls showed his challenger, Henrique Capriles, has closed the gap between them to only five per cent or less of the popular vote. If Chavez loses, would he actually hand over power peacefully? He says he would, of course — but he also says it’s an irrelevant question since he will surely win. “It is written,” he tells his supporters reassuringly. But, it is not. Chavez really could lose this time as 30 opposition parties, ranging from the centre-left to the far right, have finally

GWYNNE DYER World WATCH chosen a single candidate for the presidency. Moreover, Capriles is no Mitt Romney. He knows the votes of the poor matter. In previous elections, the Venezuelan opposition railed against Chavez’s “socialism” and Marxism and lost. Capriles, by contrast, promises to retain most of Chavez’s socialwelfare policies, which in the past 12 years have poured almost $300 billion into programs to

SONJA EDITH PETERSON

It is with great sorrow that we announce the passing of Sonja Edith Peterson, of Kamloops, on October 1st, 2012 at 68 years of age. Sonja is survived by her daughter, Tanya (Ken) Campbell of Kamloops and will be remembered lovingly by all that knew her. She is predeceased by her daughter, Laura Driemel, and her parents, Taimi and John Peterson. Sonja was born in Princeton, BC in 1944 and graduated Similkameen Secondary School in 1962. She graduated The School of Psychiatric Nursing in 1964. She worked in various facilities in the Lower Mainland, Merritt and the Okanagan until settling in Kamloops in 1983 with her daughters. Sonja continued to work until retiring in the late nineties. Her compassion, humor and strength will live on in her daughter and all she shared her life with. A Graveside Service for Sonja will take place at 11:00 on Tuesday, October 9th, 2012 at Hillside Cemetery with Chaplin Mary Widmer officiating.

improve literacy, extend high-school education, improve health care, build housing for the homeless and subsidize household purchases from groceries to appliances. Capriles can make those promises because, like Chavez, he can pay for them out of the country’s huge oil revenues. He has to make them because poorer Venezuelans — and most Venezuelans are poor — won’t vote for a candidate who would end all that. However, Capriles says he will spend that money more effectively, with less corruption, and a lot of people believe him. It would not be hard to be more efficient than Chavez’s ramshackle administration. Capriles also has the advantage of being 18 years younger and a lot

fitter than the incumbent, who has been fighting cancer for the past 15 months. Chavez says it is cured now, but physically he is clearly not the man he was. Some of his own supporters suspect he is not long for this world — and, while they still love Chavez himself, they neither love nor trust the people around him, those who might seize power when he was gone. Moreover, though Chavez’s rule has benefited the poor in many ways, they are still poor. Venezuela’s economy has grown far more slowly than those of its big neighbours, Brazil and Colombia, even though it has enjoyed the advantages of big oil exports and a tenfold rise in the world oil price. Indeed, almost all the growth in Venezuela’s economy since Chavez

took power is due to higher oil prices; most other parts of the economy have shrunk. And, while oil revenues have been big enough — $980 billion during Chavez’s presidency — to sustain subsidies at their current level, they will never be enough to transform the entire economy. You can work it out on the back of an envelope. There are almost 30-million Venezuelans. Even if all of that $980 billion had been shared among them during Chavez’s 12 years in power, they would only have realized about $3,000 per person, per year. Since oil revenue also had to pay for everything from defence to road construction, the real number was more like $1,000 per person, per year.

That’s nice to have, but it’s not going to transform lives. In fact, many people now feel that they are sliding backward again, for inflation has been about 1,000 per cent since 1998, 10 times worse than in neighbouring countries. Meanwhile, the shelves in governmentsubsidized food shops are bare most of the time. It’s like the old Soviet Union. When a shipment of some basic commodity finally arrives, it is snapped up instantly and then there is nothing until the next delivery. Nationalization and central planning didn’t do the old communist states of Europe any good and it has not worked in Venezuela, either. Something radical must be done to get the real, non-oil economy growing at a decent rate. So, even Chavez loy-

alists can be tempted by a politician who promises to keep subsidies, but to scrap antique Marxist dogmatism that cripples the economy. Capriles is exactly that politician and, therefore, he really might win the election. What then? What would probably happen is a grudging, but peaceful, hand-over of power to the newly elected President Capriles. And, for all his bluff and bluster about defending the “Bolivarian revolution,” he may actually respect a democratic vote that goes against him. Whether his colleagues and cronies would feel the same way is another question, but they could hardly reject an outcome that Chavez himself accepted. This thing could still end well. gwynnedyer.com

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

Laying in weight By Marty Hastings STAFF REPORTER

sports@kamloopsthisweek.com

OLE ULLY has added mass and increased the weight of the Kamloops Blazers’ offensive attack early in the 20122013 WHL season. After four games, the 160-pound forward from Calgary — who hovered around the 150-mark last season — has three goals, tied with Swiss forward Tim Bozon for the team lead, and four points. “I tried to eat lots and do stuff to gain weight in the offseason,” said Ully, who trained this summer in Cow Town at Crash Conditioning, along with several NHLers, including Jordan Eberle and Mike Green. “It’s not just about weight, but strength. I got a lot stronger and a lot faster, too. It helps a lot.” Kamloops is hosting the Seattle Thunderbirds on Friday, Oct. 5, and the Medicine Hat Tigers on Saturday, Oct. 6. Puck-drop both nights is scheduled for 7 p.m. at Interior Savings Centre.

When the Blazers drafted Ully in the second round of the 2010 bantam draft, they knew it might take him a while to develop. “He was a player that was smaller and would take a little more time to adjust to playing against bigger and stronger players,” said Matt Recchi, Kamloops’ director of player personnel. “We felt by 18 he would be a real contributor to our team.” Ully, who turns 18 on Feb. 20, racked up nine goals and 20 points in 55 games last season as a super-welterweight. Yes, it is just the dawn of a new WHL campaign, but the babyface forward — now a middleweight — is on pace to dwarf his 20112012 numbers. “My confidence is pretty good right now,” Ully said. “I’m playing with some good players in Needs [Matt Needham] and Souts [Chase Souto].” Needham, drafted by Kamloops one round ahead of Ully in 2010, is also off to a good start, with two goals and three points in

four games. Recchi compared Ully to diminutive Blazer forward Colin Smith, who exploded as an 18-year-old last season with 35 goals and 85 points. “He’s got real slick hands. He can shoot while in stride. He’s got deception. He can look off players and move it the other way,” Recchi said of Ully. “You expect him to take that next step in terms of his strength because his skills and hockey sense and skating ability are already there.” Ully reported to training camp at 165 pounds, but quickly dropped five, thanks to the rigours of fitness testing and frequent practices. “I’m not quite where I want to be, but that’s just what happens at camp,” Ully said. “You lose weight.” If the Blazers score four or more goals and win this Friday, it’s Teen Burgers on the house from A&W for those in attendance. Kamloops fans might consider leaving their ticket stubs at willcall for Ully.

Must-win football The biggest game in franchise history. That’s what Kamloops Broncos’ president Dino Bernardo is calling this weekend’s must-win tilt against the Westshore Rebels of Victoria. Kickoff is scheduled for 7 p.m. on Saturday, Oct. 6, at Hillside Stadium.

The Broncos’ hopes of clinching their first post-season berth since joining the B.C. Football Conference in 2007 will be dashed with a loss. A win, however, and a first-ever playoff game is likely. The Okanagan Sun are holding the fourth and final playoff spot

with games against the 0-7 Chilliwack Huskers and the 6-1-1 Langley Rams remaining on the schedule. Kamloops needs to beat the Rebels on Saturday and the cellardwelling Huskers in Chilliwack on Oct. 13 and hope Okanagan loses one of its remaining two games.

The Broncos have lost both their meetings with the Rebels this season, 34-21 on Aug. 12 and 48-41 on Sept. 16. Both games were played on Vancouver Island. Tickets for the game cost $5, with a donation to the Kamloops Food Bank.

Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t feel sorry for NHL players

WO THINGS are evident in this sorry mess that is the National Hockey Leagueâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s lockout of its players. 1. As far as finances go, you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have to feel sorry for either side. 2. The vast majority of fans are sick and tired of hearing about negotiations, preferring the â&#x20AC;&#x153;call me when itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s overâ&#x20AC;? approach. This whole squabble is about splitting revenues. Before the Playersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Association contract with the owners expired on Sept. 15, players had been receiving 57 per cent of revenues. The owners thought that was too much, considering that revenues in the last couple of years have ballooned to $3.3 billion. So, the owners offered the players 43 per cent, knowing full well it would spark a revolt, which it did. But, it was merely a starting point in negotiations. Eventually, the two sides will settle. Everybody knows that. Neither the owners nor the players want to see revenues go down to near zero, which is what will happen if no hockey is played. No tickets will be sold, no parking stalls will be filled, no hot dogs will be eaten or beer consumed, no television contracts will be honoured. Some revenue will still flow in from sales of NHL merchandise because, after all, Christmas is Christmas. But, donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t feel sorry for the players if they finally settle for 47 per cent, or 48 per cent, and the owners gleefully walk away with 50-per-cent-plus of the revenues. While the players deserve to be handsomely paid, considering they are among the best 600 of their craft in the entire world, they make enormous amounts of money,

BRUCE PENTON From PRESS ROW astronomically in excess of an average Joe or Jane. The average NHL player last year made $2.4 million. The average wellpaid Canadian working in an office or a factory might pull in $40,000 or $50,000. Some managers might make in the $80,000 to $100,000 range. The Canadian who has made $40,000 for most of his adult life would have to work for 60 years at that rate to accumulate $2.4 million, the average oneyear NHL salary. The stars, who make $5 and $6 million per year, or more, might be asked to play 19 to 22 minutes per game. An ordinary Canadian would have

to work for 100 years at $50,000 a year to make $5 million. So, donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t feel sorry for the players if they end up the â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;losersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; in this NHL fight. Millions of Canadians would love to â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;loseâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; like that.

Kamloops paddlers crack national-development team By Marty Hastings STAFF REPORTER

sports@kamloopsthisweek.com

Brook McLean (pictured) and Zach Morgan of the Kamloops Canoe and Kayak Club received great news this week.

Two Kamloops Canoe and Kayak Club paddlers are one step closer to their Olympic dreams. Brook McLean and Zach Morgan, both 16, were named this week to the CanoeKayak Canada Junior National Development Program. “It’s like a pyramid and this is the base of the pyramid,”

said Mike McLean, Brook’s grandfather, a director with the local club, which calls Shumway Lake home. “From here, you go to training camps, then you go to trials in June and, if you succeed at trials, then you’re on the [junior national] team.” The Canadian junior squad competes at events across the globe, including the world championships, held next August in

Finding sports equipment that’s right for you

E HAVE become gear snobs. I realized it last year when my son’s bike was stolen on our way across Canada and he was lucky enough to borrow his cousin’s bike for our bike trip up the west coast of Newfoundland. He realized how lucky he was to have a road bike when he was riding the heavy borrowed bike. When I first started road racing, I had an entry-level road bike. It served me well until finally I was able to upgrade to a lighter road bike with race wheels and I realized what I’d been missing. I can only imagine what a really expensive bike would feel like. It will have to remain a fantasy because there is a limit. Lately, I’ve been riding my son’s mountain bike. My full-suspension,

SHAWN WENGER Fitness For MORTALS light mountain bike is in the shop and I haven’t wanted to cancel my riding dates. I have enough of a challenge keeping my bike on the trails in Kenna Cartwright without going back to a hard tail, not to mention one that’s just a little too small for me. Add to that the extra weight and I’m feeling my legs from all the uphill riding. Plus, I’ve repeatedly almost dropped it on my head loading it on the top of my car. When I get my bike back, I’m going to kiss it. It doesn’t matter

what kind of gear you get, there is always something lighter, faster and prettier. Skis, canoes, kayaks, paddles, trail runners, backpacks, trekking poles . . . you name it and there is a low end and a high end. Most of us can’t afford to have the best of everything, so it’s a balance between function and finances. It’s better to have a heavy, starter mountain bike than no mountain bike at all. I also think having had the lower-end gear first gives me an appreciation for my upgrades. If I didn’t know what it’s like to ride the heavier version, I wouldn’t fully appreciate the lighter version. It’s a matter of choosing which gear is worth upgrading. For me, it’s been my bikes. I’ll put up with heavier skis and skiswap boots, but I have an addiction to my bikes.

Sure, I drool over some of the $10,000 bikes at the grand fondos, but I’m pretty happy with one step up from what I had in the beginning. And, I’ve also been very careful not to ride one of those bikes, so I have no idea how it would feel. I’ve talked to a few people who have been hesitant to get into a sport until they could buy the quality gear, but I believe it’s better to start somewhere and work up rather than miss another day of trying something you want to try. Besides, it’s tough to be a gear snob if you don’t know what you were missing to begin with. Shawn Wenger is a BCRPA-registered personal trainer and weight-training and group-fitness instructor.

Welland, Ont. McLean and Morgan earned spots on the development program’s canoe team primarily through their results at the Canadian Sprint CanoeKayak Championships, held in August in Dartmouth, N.S.

A pair of silver medals, won in the midget women’s C1 200- and 1,000-metre races, highlighted McLean’s trip, while Morgan grabbed bronze in the midget men’s C1 1,000m. “If you medal at nationals, that puts you in the elite of

Canadian paddlers at that age,” the Kamloops club director said. There are nine paddlers on both the men’s and women’s junior national development canoe teams. Morgan and McLean are the only two from B.C.

WolfPack on track for No. 1 seed By Marty Hastings STAFF REPORTER

sports@kamloopsthisweek.com

The Pacific Western Athletic Association (PWAA)-leading TRU WolfPack soccer women head into this weekendâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s action looking to preserve a five-game unbeaten streak. TRU will play the Douglas College Royals in Coquitlam on Saturday, Oct. 6, and the Kwantlen Polytechnic Eagles in Surrey on Sunday, Oct. 7. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We played and beat Douglas in the first game of the year, but we know winning that easily wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t happen again,â&#x20AC;? said WolfPack head coach Tom McManus, whose charges are 5-2-1 with six games remaining on the regular-season schedule. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They have improved a great deal as the sea-

son has progressed and I am expecting a very hard game from them. They are a very good team who have had some excellent results as of late.â&#x20AC;? TRU followed its 4-0 win over Douglas in Week 1 with a 4-1 thumping of Kwantlen one day later. Both games were played at Hillside Stadium. Part of the reason for TRUâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s success this season is its firepower up front, with seven players among the leagueâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s top20 scorers. Courtney Daly leads the Pack with three goals, while Taylor Miller, Vanessa Zilkie, Alanna Bekkering, Blair MacKay, Kelsey Martin and Marlie Rittinger have two apiece. McManus switched to a 3-4-3 formation in a game on Sunday,

The members of Kamloops North Rotary Club would like to thank the many individuals who bought tickets on their Sports and Culture Weekend in Vancouver RafďŹ&#x201A;e. This is the main fund raiser for the club and we appreciate the publicâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s support.

Sept. 30, against UBC Okanagan. Zilke scored in the 78th minute to salvage a 1-1 draw and keep TRUâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s unbeaten streak intact. Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be surprised if McManus tests the new formation this weekend. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have so many very strong attacking players that this gives us some extra opportunities,â&#x20AC;? he said.

The WolfPack return to Hillside on Saturday, Oct. 13, when the Quest Kermodes of Squamish are in town. If all goes well this weekend for McManus, TRU â&#x20AC;&#x201D; the fourthranked Canadian Collegiate Athletic Association team â&#x20AC;&#x201D; will be playing to solidify the No. 1 seed heading into the PWAA post-season.

Anyone whoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s driven by the building-formerly-knownas Maloneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s on 8th will have noticed its facelift seems to be coming along nicely. Its new red exterior is not

just window dressing, either. The North Shore facilityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s new incarnation â&#x20AC;&#x201D; No Limits Fitness â&#x20AC;&#x201D; could be open by December, according to partowner Maria Maywood. Included in the plans for the 20,000-square-foot fitness hub are a gym, yoga and Zumba studios, a spa and wellness cen-

tre, seniorsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; activities, beginner weightlifting classes, a coffee, juice and supplement bar and two squash courts, one of which will double as a racquetball and wallyball court. Maywood told KTW a squash-only membership will be offered at No Limits.

The quest for local hard-court supremacy There were four Kamhoops Menâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Basketball League tilts on Sunday, Sept. 30. The Sun Devils defeated The New Guys 81-42.

shorter distances than the rest of the field, according to a press release from Karen Willies of the Kamloops Ridge Runners. The race was meant to be 10.6 kilometres, but “who knows how many ran longer routes (up to 12 kilometres),” the press release said. Finishing first overall with a time of 41:59 was John Machuga of Kelowna. The top female was Deborah Buhlers, also of Kelowna, who crossed the finish line in 46:54.

Thankful for a summer saviour By Carole Rooney 100 MILE FREE PRESS newsroom@100freepress.net

S WE APPROACH THE Thanksgiving weekend, there are myriad things for which to be thankful. For one B.C. man, however, his thanksgivings will be directed to a Kamloops girl whose quick actions on a summer day saved his life. Seventy-four-year-old Lorne Barber was on a boat in Sheridan Lake near 100 Mile House on July 24 when he fell into the water and began calling for help. Fortunately for Barber, Kristen Morgan, a 14-year-old girl from Kamloops camping at the lake with family, was nearby and sprang into action. While her friend, Ezara Severn, ran for help, Kristen jumped into the lake to save a floundering Barber. “Me and my friend were ready to go on this big, blow-up boat and we saw him leaning off his boat,” Kristen said of the momentous day. “At first, we thought he was just leaning to grab something . . . but then the whole boat tipped.” Kristen and Ezara were two docks away and ran to the wharf nearest Barber. “He started yelling, ‘Help me!’, so I jumped in and my friend went to get help,” Kristen said, noting she waded out to assist him as the water was not over her head to get within reach. “I grabbed his arm and just helped

him because he was kind of drowning. He couldn’t hold himself up.” She said Barber’s head kept sinking underwater, so she held him up by both of his shoulders to keep his head up. Kristen eventually walked Barber to the edge of the lake, where adults helped him until he could catch his breath and get on shore, where emergency personnel arrived. Interlakes Volunteer Fire Department (IVFD) Chief Doug Townsend said Barber later explained he began feeling “disorientated and weak” after his boat tipped over. He just overbalanced and over he went.” Townsend noted Barber wasn’t wearing a life-jacket and was “more or less on his tiptoes” trying to keep his head out of the water. Townsend said fire-department members arriving to a reported neardrowning callout were relieved to see Kristen already had Barber on the shore. “It was a brave decision of hers, for a young girl to go out and assist [a much larger man] in coming to shore.” Kristen said Barber later expressed gratitude for her role in saving him. “He thanked me and he said if it wasn’t for me, he could easily have drowned.” Her parents had a fright when the on-shore panic started, she added, when they initially thought the girls were in peril. Now, Kristen said, they only have praise for their daughter. “They said I was a hero.”

Quick-thinking 14-year-old Kristen Morgan of Kamloops saved the life of 74-year-old Lorne Barber this past summer while the pair was at Sheridan Lake near 100 Mile House — a rescue that can only trump any other thanks to be given this weekend. Gil Vidler photo

WEEKLY HOROSCOPE ARIES - Mar 21/Apr 20 There’s no easing the tension between two people in the house, Aries. The constant bickering is leaving you weary, but the best you can do is vacate the premises. TAURUS - Apr 21/May 21 Taurus, just when you thought you had everything worked out, someone throws a monkey wrench in all of your plans.You will just have to quickly adjust. GEMINI - May 22/Jun 21 Gemini, it’s hard to ﬁght through all the clutter and excess in your life, but now is the time to weed through what you have and start thinning out the unnecessary stuff. CANCER - Jun 22/Jul 22 Cancer, discretion is advised when you are presented with a situation that is outside of your usual circle. Tread lightly on tricky ground for the time being. LEO - Jul 23/Aug 23 Leo, you might ﬁnd yourself in a pickle this week unless you act quickly and authoritatively. Swift action makes it possible to contain the potential damage. VIRGO - Aug 24/Sept 22 Virgo, you can only coast along for so long. Sooner or later you will have to put some real effort into your future plans. Start thinking about it.

Turkey diaries Dear Diary: I am carried in a warm pocket from the place of my laying to a surrogate nest. Here, I spend 28 days in the solitude of my egg, reflecting on the nature of existence. When I hatch into the world, damp and confused, I discover I am not alone. Another turkey is my brother. And, when the chicken who hatched us tries to teach us to scratch and peck, we suspect she is not our mother. Dear Diary: We are taken from our surrogate to a new home, where we live under the care of a man named Chef. It’s clear to me that the ducks and chickens, the strutting peacocks and even the migratory snow geese on the other side of this fence are the ruling class in this land. And, if I’m to judge by the way Chef gently settles us into a fresh box of hay under a warm lamp, we, the only turDARCIE HOSSACK keys in a land of lesser Bon fowl, are their gods. APPÉTIT Dear Diary: My nestmate was carried off by an owl and I now rule alone. I have grown from ganglechick into splendid being, with brown-black feathers and a glorious head of bald wattle that empurples by the day. A new season is upon us and, as I strut the yard, I can’t help but feel the upcoming holiday of Thanksgiving has been created in my honour. Paper and ceramic idols crafted in my image have begun to accumulate on a shrine. And, having been raised on food delivered from the finest restaurant in the region, I look forward to this feast. Dear Diary: It is Thanksgiving Day and I spend some time watching the feast preparations from outside, not wanting any of the giblet gravy to sully the fan of my tail. Then, bored with the spectacle, I depart to survey my empire, leaving the basting of a plucked and trussed lesser turkey (a sacrifice in my honour) to he who is responsible for my dinner. Now, once again ready for adulation, I peck at the glass until Chef lets me in. He and other humans gather around the altar upon which my sacrificial cousin has been laid. X See IT’S TIME B8

It’s time for the turkey X From B7

But, when they incline their heads to pray, I note with some dismay they are not praying to me. When I am offered

Plu

a plate on the floor, followed by meagre crumbs of plum cake for dessert, I begin to suspect a silent coup has taken place. Dear Diary:

m cornb read

2 cups corn meal 1/2 cup pastry flour 2-1/2 tsp. baking powder 1 tsp. salt 2 tbsp. sugar 1-1/2 cups milk 2 large eggs 5 tbsp. butter, melted 1-1/2 cups chopped ripe prune plums Butter and line a nine-inch-square baking pan with parchment paper. Whisk together dry ingredients. Combine wet ingredients and gently fold into dry ingredients. Fold in plums. Pour batter into pan and bake at 400 F for 25 to 35 minutes.

After five Thanksgivings in this world, I have come to believe this holiday is, in fact, the anniversary of my great luck. If my observations are correct, I am not a god, go merely a king and, therefore, all my farmth yard ya subjects fall under my m protection. Coyotes and raccoons prowl nightly at co our ou fence, which cannot keep ke out the cleverest of these th beasts, nor Chef and an his cooks, who routinely tin steal the ducks’ eggs. eg Because of this treachery, I now stand tr on guard, with a fierce gobbling at the ready at go all al times. Dear Diary: Last week, a neighbourhood dog came bo over ov the fence and took two tw of my chickens. It was a terrible fright and I confess to fr being be shaken by it, even now. no I may never forget

the shower of feathers and the terrible barkbark of the dog as it lunged and I flapped back with my wings. Since then, I’ve begun to think about departing this cruel world. Chef doesn’t want to see this at first but soon he understands it also and, when morning comes, I am ready. I, Turkey, hatched by a chicken, king of the lesser fowl, am ready to go to my rest.

Three tips to help you with healthy eating The Canadian Health Food Association (CHFA) has designated Nov. 12 to Nov. 18 as Natural Health Products Week — a time for Canadians to take stock of what they’re consuming, from food to products alike. The CHFA suggests these top three ways to boost your health from the inside out: • Enjoy more whole foods:

Convenience is entrenched in the modern lifestyle, which sometimes means grabbing fast, processed food and snacks on a regular basis. It’s just as convenient to eat whole foods and a healthier option. Whole foods are typically unprocessed or unrefined. Nuts, seeds and fruits are good examples of healthy ready-to-eat foods.

• Learn which natural health options improve your health: Stop by your local specialty retailer where knowledgeable staff can share helpful information and health tips with you. • Go organic: Certified organic foods have been grown and handled according to strict procedures and without persistent toxic chemical inputs.

Wine

Down with Us End of the Growing Season Author: Jake Ootes ~ Celista Estate Winery

September/October is the season to pick grapes. But this is also the time when I lose sleep over the conflict of wanting to get on with the harvest, the need to make the best possible wine and the vagaries of the weather. At one time the decision to pick the crop was based mainly on Brix (sugar level) alone. When the grapes passed 20 Brix (as measured with a refractometer) the pickers were called in and the harvest began. Emphasis is now paid to a number of additional factors -- factors which could fill a two-inch thick book. But let me encapsulate and say that grapes go through flavour changes during the last few weeks of maturation, and this is when attention is now focused on PH, Titratable Acid as well as Brix. Visual clues are employed. When the lower leaves on the vines turn pale and yellow the vines have reached maturity and they start to shut down for the winter. Another indicator is seed ripeness which changes from a pale colour to a brownish blemish. One more indicator is the drying out of the plant shoots and darkening of old growth. Tasting the grapes is an important element in analysing grape readiness. In this sensory assessment the grapes are tasted for flavour. Go into the vineyard in early August and taste the small green grapes and your mouth will pucker because the grapes are tart and acidic. Pre-harvest tastes are described as grassy, asparagus and bell peppery, whereas when the grapes reach maturity

in September and October the red grapes tend toward red berry flavours - strawberry, raspberry, cherry, black current and black berry, with a stewed fruit flavour during an extended hang time. White grapes tend toward tree fruit flavours like apple and pear and with extended hang time more tropical flavours like mango, pineapple and leechee nut. For the vineyards in the Shuswap this growing season started on a discouraging note – daily downpours of rain throughout the month of June, resulting in tremendous growth of green shoots but delayed berry development. Then July, August and September turned to be the best in my memory – optimum amount of sunshine and warm weather, euphoria for grape growing. We are in the middle of harvesting our white varieties. Filling our bins and capsizing them into our crusher and wine press. This is a conflicting time – do I give the reds another soaking of sunshine to build the sugar levels, lower the acid and create a balance with PH. Or, am I being empty-headed and risk the possibility of frost, resulting in an overabundance of ice wine. Foul weather which we hate at this time of year, will interfere with the quality of the harvest. Rain just before harvest will swell the grapes with water, diluting the juice and making thin watery wine. The growing season is just about down and out, and the wine-making season upon us. Now we crush the grapes, press them off the skins, ferment the juice and transform this wonderful tasty nectar into enchanting, elegant wines, a process not ingeniously simple but when complete elicits a satisfying sense of achievement.

TRAVEL

Desert safari heads to the Dead Sea By Chris McBeath SPECIAL TO KTW travelwriterstales.com

AMELS CAN BE MIGHTY DISAGREE-

ABLE. But, when you’re riding one to cross Israel’s Negev Desert to the Dead Sea, their tempers dissipate under the sweltering sun and you both settle into an awkward, rhythmic sway. For the curious mind, it’s not long before you also come to appreciate the finesse of a camel’s engineering.

Camel quirks and other contradictions For example, camels urinate backwards to cool their hind legs. Areas of dead skin enable them to sit on scorching 40 C sands while their bulbous joints raise their bodies just enough to let oncoming winds cool their torso. Their iconic humpy backpacks keep them fed and watered for up to a month, after which they’ll drink a 45-gallon fillup in a mere 10 minutes.

But, camels have an irritating hangup. They simply refuse to go over ditches, forcing camel trains to take long and winding detours from a simple A-to-B route. So, for safari purposes, you’ll need to trade up to an all-terrain desert vehicle of the motorized variety. The ride isn’t necessarily any more comfortable, but a jeep will get you to places that camels fear to tread — across ditches and through the crevices, canyons and plateaus of the Negev Mountains. Like the country itself, these desert landscapes are a study in contradictions. They are still home to a handful of Bedouin tribes whose black tents and sheep herds hint of their nomadic authenticity. The Negev is where you’ll find the simple homestead of Ben Gurion, Israel’s founding father, as well as Sde Boker, one of Israel’s few remaining kibbutzum and secondcentury Bezantyne stone-walls, colonies of desert snails and, not infrequently, spent shells from army train-

ing exercises — the Israelis practice only with real ammunition. However you explore the desert, the topography promises the unexpected.

Crater expectations Ramon Crater is such a place. Measuring 40 kilometres in length and up to 10 kilometres wide, it is the largest of three Negev craters and contains fascinating geological formations and a rock-strata found nowhere else in the world. Some sculpted outcrops are 200-million years old, which strut their stuff at every sunset with brilliant hues of salmon and cinnamon, pink, orange and various hues of hazy blue.

Barren beauty Crossing the desert mountain plateau is a rough ride. Except for the occasional free-roaming camel, Nubian ibex (mountain goat) or furry hyrax that resembles a rabbit without ears, the sunbaked, hard-edged vistas of craggy slopes, dry riverbeds and fractured earth are endless.

FOR COATS Folks Not everyone in our community can afford a warm winter jacket. This is where you can help through The River’s Coats For Folks program. Drop off your gently used winter coat by October 15th at any McCleaners in Kamloops for cleaning.

It’s a starkly beautiful part of Israel few visitors experience. Although the almost vertical descent to the Dead Sea is a shade hair-raising, the prospect of floating one’s (now sore) backside in the sea’s soothing, mineral laden waters makes the entire adventure worthwhile.

Lowly delights Until you’ve tried to defy its buoyancy, the reality of the Dead Sea is hard to comprehend. But, as the earth’s lowest land elevation, 423 metres below sea level, the uber-briny waters are as much a tourist attraction as they are an economic resource for magnesium. The sea is, however, diminishing at an alarming rate. In the last 50 years alone, the level has dropped about 40 metres, leaving behind crystallized, salty-mud flats that are quickly transformed into visitor-friendly beaches — sand is an easy import. Then there’s the mud — the same glorious mineral-rich mud

that Cleopatra daubed all over her body and that today is packaged into expensive mud therapies. The do-it-yourself slathering technique is a fraction of the cost and way more fun.

Masada magic Nothing, however, quite prepares you for dawn atop the Masada. Spread over a 9.3hectare plateau on a singular mountain bloc that rises straight up for 450 metres, this palatial fortress includes the remnants of a three-storey, cliff-clinging palace, as well as residences, storerooms, baths, terraces, vast water cisterns and a synagogue. Built by Herod the Great in 67BC, the genius of architecture is undisputable. And, as the last bastion of Jewish freedom fighters who chose suicide rather than submit to Roman attackers in AD73, its mythology is the stuff of legends. The western gate is still reached via the Romans’ original siege ramp path and, as the sun casts its morning glow across the Dead

FAITH

Living out our gratitude daily

PHRASE FROM PSYCHOLOGY — hostile dependence — describes a state when someone is dependeont on someone else, but doesn’t like that fact. Many missionaries dislike fundraising for the same reason. Though they appreciate the donation, they dislike their dependence on the donors to carry on the ministry. The only alternative to hostile dependence, especially toward a loving benefactor, is grateful dependence. And, it is the essence of Thanksgiving. Unfortunately, many believers in God try to walk the fine line between hostile and grateful dependence, convinced non-hostility toward God is the same as gratitude.

NARAYAN MITRA You Gotta Have FAITH Nothing could be more antithetical to the spirit of Thanksgiving. We need to develop thanksgiving into a wholesome and active philosophy of living. The general definition of thanksgiving is “a conscious joyful emotion toward unearned blessing.” Christian thanksgiving would extend that into “an awareness and expression of personal dependence on the ultimate Giver of all good things.”

Thanksgiving, then, would be intentional, not a default stance in Christian living. A grateful person is aware of joyful emotion in receiving unearned favour. The more unearned your gift is the more thankful you are. It is expressed by: • Thanks-feeling: “A happy emotion, a gladness to have what is given,” says one dictionary in describing thanksgiving. You must experience a glad feeling of thanks to a giver. A critical or complaining spirit would hardly accompany feelings of gratitude. Remember the thankful Pharisee who used the right verbal formula for having done the right thing? His feelings of selfrighteous self-congrat-

ulation were not those of thanks at all (Luke 18:11). There was pride, rather than gladness, in his heart for his abilities. • Thanks-saying: Feelings of thanks are better expressed by saying and doing thanks. In the book of Psalms are found many genres of thanksgiving. “It is good to give thanks to the Lord,” opens Psalm 92. It’s really by thankssaying that the Psalmist clarifies the virtue of public thanksgiving. We say thanks to God in public because God is good, but also because thanksgiving in itself is good. • Thanks-doing: Gratitude not only identifies the donor as giver and generates the appropriate attitude, but also motivates actions that will please the giver.

There is grateful conduct toward the donor and the grateful use of the gift. Conduct motivated by thanks is easier to execute than those motivated by rewards. God uses both kinds of motivations in our obedience. Since we are clearer about blessings already received, we can be better motivated by God’s grace than by future rewards to be obtained by our good works yet. • Thanks-living: Year-round, lifelong thanksgiving then is thanks-living. “Let your lives overflow with thanksgiving for all he has done” (Colossians 2:7). Thanks-living comprises thanks-feeling, thanks-saying and thanksdoing 24/7/365. Indeed, all eternity will resound with your

thanksgiving as you understand the “of course” of all circumstances and experiences in your life and in all reality. We have a choice between hostile or grateful dependence on God, our Creator, Redeemer and Sustainer. After Thanksgiving is not Christmas. That’s a calendar view of existence. After Thanksgiving comes thanksgiving, which precedes thanks-

giving. Let’s thank God for all we have by thanksgiving and trust Him for all we need by thanks-living. narayanmitra@ hotmail.com KTW welcomes submissions to its Faith page.
