BC Hydro says mine would not get cut rate By Andrea Klassen STAFF REPORTER andrea@kamloopsthisweek.com

BC Hydro says residential ratepayers in Kamloops don’t have to worry that they will be subsidizing the cost of power at the Ajax mine — if it is approved. The Kamloops Area Preservation Association (KAPA) raised the question this week in a post on stopajaxmine.ca. Their issue is a portion of the Ajax mine’s feasibility study that suggests the proponent would pay 3.5 cents per kilowatt hour

(kWh) for its power, compared to the residential stepped rate of 6.8 cents and 10.19 cents for the same. “Our concern is the fact that they are paying less for the power than it costs to produce that power,” said John Schleiermacher, spokesperson for KAPA. “You and I pay over 10 cents per kWH. They’re paying 3.5 cents.” But, BC Hydro spokesman Dag Sharman said the 3.5-cent figure isn’t an accurate reflection of what the mine would have to pay for power.

Under the electric tariff, which sets out the utility’s rate schedules and terms and conditions for power distribution, a new, large mine would likely pay an energy charge of 3.6 cents per kWh under current rates, Sharman said. However, the mine would also pay a number of other fees set out in the tariff each billing period, including a demand charge and a rate rider. “The energy charge is only one component of the cost of electricity supply and not an indication of the amount paid, as there are a number of factors that go into

determining the industrial customer’s bill,” he said. Sharman said the tariff is set up so each class of customer is paying BC Hydro enough to cover the cost of the power being created and used — and no class subsidizes another’s power consumption. “It’s to recover the cost of their power,” he said. Sharman said BC Hydro is working on an interconnection study in relation to the mine. The mine’s proponents would also have to complete a number of other studies to hook up to

the utility’s transmission system, which would identify what upgrades would be needed to supply it power and how much those would cost. Ajax would also have to provide security or make a capital contribution toward any upgrade costs. Mine proponents would also cover the cost of tapping into the BC Hydro system, building a substation to step down the voltage so it’s useable for the mine, and building a distribution system to deliver power on site, as well as operational costs.

Sensational Survivors Sensational Survivors is a goal-oriented exercise program dedicated to working with women in all stages of cancer to empower, strengthen, and challenge in a safe and fun environment. The program begins with an initial one-on-one assessment to look at physical abilities and review goals and conditions. This is followed by a second one-on-one session to go over an individualized exercise program, after which participants will begin supervised group sessions on a weekly basis. The program includes 12 supervised group sessions which take place at the Tournament Capital Centre twice a week. There is also a graduate program where participants can continue attending the group exercise sessions by purchasing a TCC track pass. This program focuses on movement, physiology, and physical activity and is taught by fitness professionals. Instructors communicate with other health professionals to identify the individual needs of the clients and tailor an exercise program to the participant. It is a doctor and self-referral program. Extensive research has been done on the benefits of exercising before, during, and after cancer treatment including improved physical functioning and quality of life, decreased nausea and fatigue, and strengthening of bones. “When the oncologist told me that studies showed a heathy and physically fit body was less likely to grow cancer cells, it was the push that I needed to get started. Life had become very sedentary for me after chemo. He suggested Sensational Survivors, and it was the inspiration that I needed. The flexible and individual programing at a very reasonable cost works for me. I try to make those two classes a week a top priority in my life,” commented participant Bev Corbet. The City of Kamloops has been running this program since 2008 with many women completing the program and continuing on with the “grad” program. For more information and to pick up the assessment package please contact 250-828-3742.

Sensational Survivors is an exercise program for women in all stages of cancer.

Science centre will attempt world record

“Fresh, Healthy, Local”

Water will be flying and balloons will be swinging as Kamloops’ Big Little Science Centre becomes the stage for a world-record attempt on Friday, Oct. 12. Starting at 10 a.m., about 75 students from Bert Edwards Science and Technology School will conduct two experiments at the centre during a 30-minute period. Other children will do the same across Canada in an attempt to set an official Guinness World Record for the largest simultaneous science lesson in multiple venues. The experiments will examine ways materials react due to moving fluids. In one, students will use lengths of straws to create a breath-powered water mister. In the other, they will make balloons “kiss” by blowing between them. Both experiments will demonstrate Bernoulli’s Principle, which states an increase in air speed (like blowing) leads to a decrease in pressure (making balloons move towards each other, for example). Instructions for conducting both experiments at home are available online at science.gc.ca, along with an explanation of the science behind them. The attempt is being staged by the federal government as part of National Science and Technology Week. The event will be documented and recorded at each school or centre participating. The government’s science and technology team plans to create a video of the attempt using footage from the various schools and science centres involved.

Further job action may disrupt classes at university By Tim Petruk STAFF REPORTER

tim@kamloopsthisweek.com

The head of the union representing 600 support workers at Thompson Rivers University won’t rule out potential job action that could disrupt classes. “It’s something that, when we’re considering action, we’re trying to have the least effect on students as possible,” Lois Rugg, president of CUPE Local 4879, told KTW. “But, there might be some point where we’d have to do that.” Unionized support staff at TRU walked off the job on Thursday, Oct. 4, after serving 72-hour strike notice earlier in the week. At issue is job security, inflation protection and wage increases. The union and the university are not slated to meet for bargaining again for two weeks. Between now and then, Rugg said, campus should be prepared for escalating job action. “We do have [negotiation] dates for Oct. 18, so we’re hoping the employer will come to the table with a reasonable deal,” she said.

“In the meantime, we do have the ability to do some form of strike action.” The TRU Faculty Association has a policy barring members from crossing picket lines, so any striking workers set up outside buildings where classes take place could cause a disruption for students. Last week’s picket line began outside TRU’s facilities building and eventually moved to the area of the Clock Tower building. “We had a few administrators cross, but we expected that,” Rugg said. Christopher Seguin, TRU’s vicepresident of advancement, said the university is not anticipating a disruption for students. “We don’t expect classes to be disrupted and TRU will not be cancelling classes,” he said. “We look forward to a sustainable and fair agreement, and that’s what we’re working towards. “I believe both sides hold students in the highest regard and want to minimize the effect on them.” Rugg said there are no firm plans for what future job action will look like.

Be cool: One click a day and good deeds are on the way

ARLIER THIS MONTH, before voting online was in effect, KTW ran a story with local projects crying for money from the Aviva Insurance Community Fund. Last year, the People in Transition meals program at Kamloops United Church won in its category, giving it needed money to buy new equipment to help the many volunteers feed more than 100 homeless, marginalized and at-risk people every Sunday. The program, known more commonly as the PIT Stop, got a muchneeded boost toward the end of the final round of online voting when the folks at the Pavilion Theatre, also in the running, realized they had no chance of winning and urged all their supporters to vote for feeding the hungry. So, of course, this year the organizers of the PIT Stop have asked all their supporters to vote for Pavilion Theatre and its project to upgrade a facility that is showing signs of age. Its condition — and the announcement of Aviva’s annual competition — led one Kamloopsian to call last week, wondering why the theatre company is having to resort to the generosity of an insurance company to fix up a building that is owned by the city. This was news to me, so I checked with Barbara Berger, the city’s culture and heritage manager, who confirmed the ownership. Lest anyone think the city has allowed the building on Lorne Street to languish, Berger explained the deal between Western Canada Theatre and the city, made decades ago, gives the thespians the place for $1 a year.

DALE BASS Street

LEVEL The caveat to that deal is WCT is responsible for repairs and upkeep. And, as anyone who has ever bought a decades-old house knows, through the years, things start to fail. However, the arts have seen massive cuts to funding from the government, so that makes it hard to stage plays and still have money to keep the theatre in tip-top shape. That’s why my votes have been going to the Pavilion project. There are three other projects in the city vying for some of the Aviva cash. In the same category as Pavilion — grants in the $50,000 to $100,000 category — is a project by the Child Development Society to create an area for kids to play and interact with nature. The folks there do amazing work. Our youngest went there for a couple of years and the incredible dedication and skill of the staff, two in particular — Kelly and Anne — helped him learn so many of the basics we take for granted that autistic kids just don’t get. In the $50,000 to $100,00 category are two projects — a mentor program at the Pregnancy Care Centre of

Kamloops and the Westsyde water park for kids. I’m rarely in Westsyde, but I know how incredible Centennial Park is and am keenly aware that area of the city could use some more public play areas for kids. And, a water park? How cool would that be? I’ve done a few stories on the pregnancy-care centre and have changed my mind about it. When Shirley Bosman first talked about her plans to create the centre, my initial reaction was that it would be nothing more than a pro-life front. Wrong. They do some great work there helping women deal with issues surrounding pregnancy that a lot of us have never had to confront. The mentor program would provide a new volunteer opportunity for those of us in what our kids refer to sarcastically as the golden years, while helping at-risk youth learn skills to create stronger families. They’re all worthy projects but, right now, none has a chance of making it to the second round of voting. This is where you all come in. It doesn’t take long. All you have to do is go to the company’s fund website, avivacommunityfund.org, register with your email address, find the project you want to support and click the “vote now” button. Once you’ve done it once, it takes even less time the next day. One click a day and you could be helping your community — and that’s cool, too. dale@kamloopsthisweek.com

If one was a conspiracy theorist, one might suggest the B.C. Conservative Party of 2012 is nothing more than a dummy political party created by the B.C. Liberal Party to lure back disenchanted voters who are not quite ready to cast a ballot for the B.C. NDP. It is as good as any explanation for the dog-and-pony political show that continues to play out in front of our eyes, with just seven months until the provincial election. The B.C. Liberals implode and are seen as being done in time for the May 2013 election. The B.C. NDP is the only viable alternative. Along comes a B.C. Conservative Party with some notable names and growing poll numbers. The party lures a B.C. Liberal MLA and all seems on course for the Conservatives to replace the Liberals as the Liberals replaced the Socreds as the Socreds replaced the Conservatives/Liberals in opposition to the NDP/CCF. However, with poor showings in two byelections; with that recruited Liberal MLA not onside with the party leader and deciding to quit the party he had joined only months before; with one of the two byelection candidates jumping to the Liberals only weeks after saying nasty things about them; with a leadership convention resulting in 70 per cent of voting members supporting the leader; with dissidents nonetheless still calling for that leader’s dismissal; with the leader then demanding all traitors to leave by high noon yesterday (Oct. 10) or else; with the leader then jumping into action at high noon by issuing a press release declaring party finances in good shape; and with dissidents announcing a press conference for late yesterday . . . well, such craziness can only be the work of some Machiavellian political machine looking to save itself, can it not? Seriously, there is no possible way such Looney Tunes hijinks could be the result of an upstart party actually inadvertently shooting itself in the foot, again and again and again and again and again and again. Is there?

Let’s not trade our quality of life for Ajax mine Editor: I’ve lived in this city of rivers since 1962 and I can’t believe people here are so calmly accepting of the prospect of a huge, leaking pit on the edge of town. After all, for most people who choose to live here, money isn’t everything or even the main thing. And, what about our downstream neighbours — human and otherwise? KGHM Ajax proposes to dig a pit the size of mounts Peter and Paul turned upside down, and, after closure, allow it to fill with water spiked with acid mine drainage and heavy metals. We’ll be left with a toxic lake forever. The proposed pit will also bisect two major aquifers — the Sugarloaf and Peterson Creek, altering their drainage and threatening the Thompson River. This, plus incessant noise, regular groundshocks from blasting and clouds of ore dust for the next 23 years. The company wants Kamloops to accept all this in exchange for some tax benefits and a few hundred jobs.

Myriad public costs may offset even these limited perks. A tailings pile visible from anywhere in Kamloops will make us a laughing stock as a so-called Tournament Capital and tourism will also be affected by the loss of part of Jacko Lake and all of Inks Lake, popular recreation areas in winter and summer that bring millions to our region. And, who is going to want to live in Aberdeen or Pineview, with a noisy, thumping, belching mine a mile or so away? KamPlan chose the southwest sector for major residential expansion and the city has already sunk millions into infrastructure there, including expensive water-pumping stations and slope-stability measures. Are we going to just walk away from all that? Maybe we won’t have to worry about Kamloops needing more space to grow if the Ajax mine is approved. After all, who would want to live in

We can do better than this. Please don’t trade our quality of life in perpetuity for this limited offer. We can say no. It’s not a done deal. It’s just a company. It can go elsewhere. It doesn’t have feelings. Ultimately, it won’t care. And, that, perhaps, is the point.

Editor: The vote by B.C. municipal leaders to lobby the federal government to decriminalize marijuana is a step in the right direction. There is a big difference between condoning marijuana use and protecting children from drugs. Decriminalization acknowledges the social reality of marijuana and frees users from criminal records. What’s really needed is a regulated market with age controls. Separating the hard and soft drug markets is critical as the marijuana plant is relatively harmless. Marijuana prohibition, on the other hand, is deadly. As long as drug cartels and biker gangs control marijuana distribution, consumers of the most popular illicit drug will come into contact with hard drugs like cocaine, meth and heroin. Marijuana prohibition is a gateway-drug policy. Robert Sharpe policy analyst Common Sense for Drug Policy csdp.org Washington, D.C.

Krueger wants truck ban Data, however, shows crashes down on 5A

Look Good, Feel Good TOONIE TUESDAYS! PHYLLIS

By Tim Petruk STAFF REPORTER

tim@kamloopsthisweek.com

This time, it was two truckers. Next time, it could be “a school bus full of children.” That’s the word from Kamloops-South Thompson Liberal MLA Kevin Krueger in the wake of a fiery doublefatality on Highway 5A last week that has renewed his call for a ban on big rigs on the secondary route between Merritt and the Tournament Capital. “I think everyone in their hearts knows this is going to happen again,” Krueger told KTW. “It might be worse and it might be tomorrow.” On Friday, Oct. 5, two trucks collided head-on near Stump Lake, about 40 kilometres south of Kamloops. Both truckers were killed and the ensuing blaze sparked a sizeable wildfire. The BC Coroners Service has identified one of the drivers as 59-year-old Gary Joseph Miller of Kamloops. The identity of the other trucker has not yet been made public. Krueger has been calling for a big-rig ban on Highway 5A since 2010, but last week’s wreck brought the issue back to the top of his priority list. “I think my constituents have the right to argue this particular highway must not be subject to this kind of danger,” he said. “I’m determined. I’ve got half a year left [before retiring from politics] and this is going to be a major push from me. I’m going to do it.” However, not everyone agrees with Krueger.

Louise Yako, president of the B.C. Trucking Association, said the ban Krueger is pitching would create new problems on area highways. “Notwithstanding the fact Friday’s incident was quite tragic, we don’t think closing the highway to truckers is a viable solution,” she said, explaining many truckers save time, fuel and maintenance costs by choosing 5A over the Coquihalla Highway. “For those truckers that are using it, it’s the most logical route for them to use,” she said. “Causing trucks to move to another route will result in other unintended consequences.” Those consequences, Yako said, would include increased emissions and potentially longer travel times for haulers. The traffic displacement could also create delays on other highways — notably the Coquihalla. “Essentially, you’re moving the problem,” she said. “I’m not saying do nothing. I’m saying what we do should be based on clear evidence.” But, according to Krueger, the only thing left to do is to ban big rigs. “We’ve done all the engineering stuff that can be done there without creating another Coquihalla through that little valley,” he said, referring to Highway 5A as “a little country road. “Why would we do that when we have the Coquihalla sitting there, just over the hill?” Krueger said he will be bringing the issue up in Victoria, but said he’s not sure how a ban might come into place. One option, he

said, would be for the municipal governments in Kamloops and Merritt to pass laws — with the support of the province — banning non-local semis on the highway. “In Merritt and in Kamloops are where the highway starts and stops,” he said. “They could do bylaws closing that route to truck traffic and we’d have what we want.” In the past, Krueger said, when he’s called for a ban on big rigs on Highway 5A, the result has been a flurry of angry calls and emails from truckers. “I want it very clear to all of those guys in the industry that I’m not backing off,” he said. “They don’t have to send me emails telling me

to because I’m not going to. I’m going to fight for this until I’m no longer elected, and even after that if I have to.” According to ICBC, the number of crashes and injuries along Highway 5A has been generally in decline dating back to 2006. In 2010, there were 25 accidents along the highway, resulting in 28 injuries. That was an increase from 2009, in which there were 18 crashes involving 14 injuries. In 2008, there were 33 crashes and another 18 people injured. In 2007, officials recorded 30 crashes injuring 22 people. In 2006, there were 47 accidents on Highway 5A injuring 32 people.

Province’s cash welcomed by TRU law students By Tim Petruk STAFF REPORTER

tim@kamloopsthisweek.com

More than $7 million in provincial funding to complete the facelift of the Old Main Building will go a long way to improve conditions for students in the law school at Thompson Rivers University. John Yap, B.C.’s minister of advanced education, was at TRU on Tuesday, Oct. 9, to announce the province’s $7.4-million contribution to the project, which is expected to be completed in time for the start of the 20132014 school year. “This is significant when you consider we’re in difficult fiscal times,” Yap said after the announcement. “We still need to make the important investments in postsecondary education.” TRU’s law school just began its second year of operation. Since opening, the school has been housed temporarily inside the Brown Family House of Learning (HOL) building on TRU’s campus. Second-year law student Jay Michi said the setup has been less than ideal. “We’ve actually been really lucky because we landed in a pretty nice brand-new building, but HOL was never designed to house the law school,” he said. “HOL is a learning commons. The way it’s designed, it can be a little loud. “It gets very frustrating, especially around exam times.” Michi said students are looking forward to having their own space. “Law students can be quite territorial,” he said. “It has been an issue. But, once the space [Old Main] is completed and configured, it will be essentially dedicated to law students.” The Old Main redesign will include classroom, office and common space for the law school on the third and fourth floors. The first phase of

building — construction of a wavy roof line and increased squarefootage — is nearing completion. “This is going to be one of the most beautiful educational facilities

in Canada,” said Alan Shaver, TRU’s president, calling the building “a functional piece of art. “It’s going to transform the Old Main building into the New

Old Main building.” Chris Axworthy, dean of TRU’s law school, said the faculty is looking forward to the move as much as the students are. “Nothing compares

to being able to know that we have . . . a world-class facility,” he said. “The students deserve that and it will happen with this new building. “My only fear is that

we’ll all be looking out the windows instead of doing our work. “We look forward to building a law school that is the envy of British Columbia. We will do that together in this fine building.”

The total cost of the overhaul to Old Main — which was built in 1971 — is expected to be nearly $20 million. The renovations will add more than 40,000 square feet over oneand-a-half storeys.

Coyne will also be meeting for dinner with Liberal Party of Canada members and supporters at the Shanghai Mandarin restaurant on Summit Drive. Coyne’s visit has been organized by the Liberal party’s Kamloops-ThompsonCariboo constituency.

Upon Trudeau’s leadership announcement, candidates Dominic LeBlanc, a

New Brunswick MP, and Shane Geschiere, a paramedic in Manitoba, stepped down to pledge their support for Trudeau. Coyne is a lawyer, professor and public servant with experience in a wide range of endeavours. Educated at Osgoode Hall and Oxford, she is a prolific writer and has held appointments to the Ontario Insurance Task Force and the Ontario Human Rights Commission. Coyne has also taught at the Toronto Law School, has worked in the Prime Minister’s Office, has been a constitutional activist and co-founded the Canadian Coalition on the Constitution.

Kamloops rent bank set to open next year The Kamloops Homelessness Action Plan has developed a rent bank to help prevent homelessness in Kamloops. The community project, created with action plan partners and members of the community, is slated to begin in 2013

Dufferin Park decisions The City of Kamloops is hosting an Oct. 25 open house regarding the future planning and development of cityowned parkland on Copperhead Drive, immediately north of Dufferin elementary. The open house will give the public an opportunity to contribute to the planning process. The open house will be held 5 p.m. to 7 p.m. in the library at Dufferin elementary. City staff will be on hand to share ideas and consider input on the future development of the 3.4-hectare green space. Public input will help city staff formulate concept drawings that will be brought back to the public for final review. If residents would like to have a say in how the green space is utilized, they are invited to attend the open house or call 250-828-3750 for more information. Residents unable to attend the open house, but who would still like to provide input, can email mdoll@ kamloops.ca or fill out a comment form on the parks, recreation and culture section of the City of Kamloops website at kamloops.ca.

and is looking for funders. The Kamloops Rent Bank will assist families in crisis by providing small, low-interest loans to keep people in stable rental housing or to pay utilities that are in arrears. Rent-bank loans

are for people who have been in stable housing, but who have been challenged by an emergency situation. These loans will be for people who do not qualify for other types of funding; people who would otherwise be left

to fall through the cracks and enter the cycle of homelessness. To date, the rent bank has received the support of the United Way of the Thompson-NicolaCariboo ($3,000 to support research and development of

the Kamloops Rent Bank business plan); the Interior Savings Centre Community Investment Fund ($6,928 to support the start-up of the rent bank, with office needs and administrative supplies) and the Kelson Group ($5,000 to provide

loaning capital to support families in crisis). In-kind support has come from Changing the Face of Poverty, The Elizabeth Fry Society, Kamloops Foundation, United Way and Interior Savings Credit Union. “Community

is about working together to help each other be successful. It is also the backbone of credit-union values,” said Kathy Conway, Interior Savings CEO. For more information on helping, call organizers at 250571-9665.

Drug deal catalyst for shooting By Tim Petruk STAFF REPORTER

tim@kamloopsthisweek.com

An attempted drugdeal extortion gone haywire preceded a shooting in a downtown Kamloops apartment last year that landed a 51-year-old man in hospital. The Crown opened

its case against Brandon Schell in B.C. Supreme Court in Kamloops on Wednesday, Oct. 10. The 28-year-old is standing trial on charges of extortion, discharging a prohibited firearm and aggravated assault. He was also charged with attempted murder, but the Crown is

Trevor Taylor, 27, was also arrested and charged following the shooting and was slated to stand trial alongside Schell. However, Taylor accepted a plea deal and pleaded guilt earlier this week to one count of obstructing justice. Crown prosecutor Don Mann said the two men — Schell, known by the nickname “Cheddar” and Taylor, going by “Tre” — showed up at an apartment at 352 Seymour St. in the early-morning hours of Nov. 5, 2011. Mann said they put pressure on people inside the apartment to buy drugs. Burley, a friend of the people who lived in the apartment, showed up later, Mann said. “Mr. Burley took

B.C. food banks serving up safety The B.C. government, Food Banks BC and Aboriginal Affairs and Northern Development Canada (AANDC) are supporting a provincial campaign to help ensure B.C.’s most vulnerable families have working smoke alarms in their homes. As part of its support, AANDC will be matching an earlier commitment from manufacturer Kidde Canada to give 2,500 free smoke alarms to on-reserve aboriginal families, whom research has shown to be at elevated risk of fatality in residential fires. B.C.’s 93 food banks have also Murphy’s

made the commitment to join forces with fire services across the province to make free smoke alarms available to interested individuals and families whose accommodation lacks a working smoke alarm — one of the most essential tools to save lives and property in the event of fire. In March, Justice Minister and Attorney General Shirley Bond and Surrey Fire Chief Len Garis, president of the Fire Chiefs’ Association of BC, launched a smoke-alarm campaign intended to ensure every B.C. home has a working smoke alarm. Research by Surrey Fire Services

and the University of the Fraser Valley shows almost 70 per cent of homes that caught fire lacked a functioning smoke alarm — and that households in low-income areas, in rural communities and on First Nations reserves face greater risk of fatality from residential fires. Information about the smokealarm campaign is online at fcabc.ca. The study by Surrey Fire Services and the University of the Fraser Valley is online at www.ufv.ca/Assets/CCJR/ Reports+and+Publications/Smoke_ Alarms_Work$!2c_But_not_Forever. pdf.

Plan the Perfect Party!

Vittorios has been voted Kamloopsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Best Banquet Hall & reception restaurant!

Reserve early & have a great Christmas! If you are in charge of organizing a Christmas party for your family, a group of friends, your company, or just a romantic dinner for two, do yourself a favour and reserve early â&#x20AC;&#x201D; that means right now! Why the rush? Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s true that there are still a few weeks before all those Christmas parties begin, but there are plenty of reasons why you shouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t procrastinate on this. By looking now for the ideal restaurant, bar, pub, reception hall, or hotel for your party, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll have many more possibilities to choose from as you search for a place that will suit your needs. Another advantage of making early reservations is that youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be able to choose the nicest room or the best-placed table, an undeniable privilege during this busy time of year when places are snapped up quickly. If you get on the ball now, you wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t end up with the table that no one else wanted, like the one next to the main entrance or the kitchen. Either one of those scenarios are enough to ruin the party mood, whether itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a romantic dinner for two or a huge reception. If you reserve now, you are more likely to be treated well, as a good customer. One last reason to get busy: if you reserve early, the success of the party is sure to earn you a ton of compliments!

RELAY FOR LIFE

Pinker to give President’s Lecture at TRU He has been named one of Time magazine’s 100 Most Influential People in the World. On Friday, Oct. 12, Kamloopsians can meet him. Steven Pinker will be in the Campus Activity Centre’s Grand Hall at Thompson Rivers University on Friday, Oct. 12, to deliver the latest lecture in the school’s President’s Lecture Series. Pinker’s lecture, The Better Angels of Our Nature: A History of Violence, will look at violence through the ages and explore whether ancient history was more violent than even the atrocities occurring today. Pinker contends that, although

human nature hasn’t really changed, the methods of dealing with the inner demons that fuel violence has evolved. This evolution has come through improved negotiation, the spread of government, trade, cosmopolitanism and more. The following is from Pinker’s website and is an abstract for his book, The Better Angels of Nature: “Thanks to the spread of government, literacy, trade and cosmopolitanism, we increasingly control our impulses, empathize with others, bargain rather than plunder, debunk toxic ideologies and deploy our powers of reason to reduce the temptations of violence.”

Pinker asks questions about the human mind, then boldly sets out to answer them. One of the world’s leading cognitive scientists, Pinker translates his groundbreaking research into articles and books that are accessible to the general reader. His books include The Blank Slate and How The Mind Works, both bestsellers and finalists for the Pulitzer Prize. His acclaimed “language” series includes The Language Instinct, Words and Rules and The Stuff of Thought: Language as a Window into Human Nature. Pinker’s lecture is free and begins at 7 p.m.

Noted playwright to speak at university Nationally recognized playwright and Thompson Rivers University alumnus Kevin Loring will give a special presentation at the university on Friday, Oct. 12. Loring is a member of the Nlaka’pamux First Nation and last appeared in Kamloops in 2009 in the role of Jamie Paul for Western Canada Theatre’s production of George Ryga’s The Ecstasy of Rita Joe. Loring received the 2005 City of Vancouver Mayor’s Arts Award, Emerging Theatre Artist; Artist in Residence, the Playhouse Theatre

Company in 2006; and Playwright in Residence,the National Arts Centre, in 2010. Loring’s Where the Blood Mixes won the Governor General’s Award, the Jessie Richardson Award for Outstanding Original Script and the Sydney J. Risk Prize for Outstanding Original Script by an Emerging Playwright. The Western Canada Theatre production of the play is running until Oct. 20 at Sagebrush Theatre. Loring will speak at noon in room OM2621 in the university’s Old Main Building.

ICBC plans another job action Unionized ICBC workers have issued 48-hour notice for their next job action. Canadian Office and Professional Employees Union, Local 378 (COPE 378) has three times engaged in day-long job action as it seeks to reach a contract settlement with ICBC. The next job action will be a return to claims-centre adjuster workload levels as established in a 1996 workload study — the most-recent completed by the Crown corporation. “Workload is a very big problem at ICBC, especially at claims centres,” said COPE 378 president David Black. “Our members are struggling under caseloads that are, on average, double the levels set out in the 1996 workload study. “This is about customers, too. When our adjusters are overworked, they don’t get the time to give drivers the service they deserve.”

As a result of this job action, ICBC customers may have to wait longer to get a claims-centre appoint-

ment, which Black said will not be as rushed. The job action affects 42 ICBC

claims centres in British Columbia, including the Battle Street location in Kamloops.

COPE 378 members at ICBC have been without a contract for over two years.

Calendar raises cash, gives prizes

The Kamloops Sexual Assault Counselling Centre has launched its first lottery calendar. The centre has helped victims of violence for the past 30 years. All profits from calendar sales will stay in Kamloops to help those the centre sees each year. Many local businesses and photographers have contributed to the calendar, from which two or three prizes are drawn each month.

For example, the Kamloops Blazers, Canada Games Pool, B.C. Wildlife Park, Treetop Flyers Ziplining, Boomers Auto, Hairitage Salon, Holistic Physical Therapy, Strong Picture Framing, North Shore Dairy Queen, Manny Tan, Kamloops YMCA-YWCA and artist Cathy Tetarenko have all contributed monthly prizes worth $100 or more. Fifteen other local businesses and restaurants have each contributed $25 gift certificates for the

monthly draws. Each person who buys a calendar is entered to win prizes throughout the calendar year of 2013. Photographers who contributed photos for the calendar include Kent Simmonds, Shirley Mainprize, Kevin Morgan, Marilee Davis and Kris Dorman. For more information, call the centre office at 250-372-0179.

He was predeceased by his parents, Hermann and Marta. Claus was born in Germany and emigrated to Canada with his parents in 1951. They eventually settled in Kelowna BC, where Claus graduated from Kelowna Senior Secondary. After attending Okanagan College, Claus moved to Calgary, Alberta where he began a lifelong career of commercial and residential painting. Claus returned to school, attending the University of Victoria in the Honours Chemistry Program. It was during a portion of his co-op program that he discovered Kamloops and he loved the area so much that he stayed on permanently. Claus’ main passion was buying and restoring antique radios. He spent many hours at garage sales and swap meets looking for them. Claus is now at peace and can spend all his time listening to the sweet music from his radios. The family would like to offer special thanks to Claus’ friend and employer Alan Watkin, Emergency Personnel, Dr. Tim Schmidt and the wonderful nurses at Royal Inland Hospital for their amazing care and kindness. Memorial donations in Claus’ memory may be made to the Royal Inland Hospital Foundation, if friends so desire. A Private Funeral Service will be held at a later date.

ROBERT FRED BATES I’M NOT GONE Don’t cry for me, now that I am free. Just look around anywhere and that is where I’ll be For I am the daylight when the sun starts to rise. I’m the bright rainbow you see with your eyes. I’m the tiny raindrops that sprinkle in the wind. I’ll always be here with you, for there really is no end. I’m the dew that’s on the ground, and the quietness all around. Yes, I am so very happy with this new life I have found. I’m the peaceful summer breeze that flows softly through the trees. I’m the bluebird in the sky that sings with such ease. Yes, I am so very happy, so happy to be free. Understand, my family and friends, and don’t you cry for me. Love from Bill and Family

Remembering

Nov. 21, 1929 ~ Oct. 12, 2007

It’s been 5 years since I’ve seen you last. I thought of you with love today but that is nothing new. I thought about you yesterday And days before that too. I think of you in silence I often speak your name, All I have are memories and your picture in a frame. Your memory is my keepsake With which I’ll never part God has you in His keeping I have you in my heart.

Morris runs roughshod over Broncos STAFF REPORTER

sports@kamloopsthisweek.com

Greg Morris put the Westshore Rebels of Victoria on his back, scampered into the record books and ran the Kamloops Broncos out of the B.C. Football Conference [BCFC] playoff picture on Saturday, Oct. 6, at Hillside Stadium. The Rebels’ running back set a Canadian Junior Football League record for rushing yards in one game — with 405 of them on 24 carries — and Westshore beat Kamloops 37-22 in front of more than 400 fans. “It was just heartbreaking for everybody,” said Darryl Chow, the Broncos’ general manager. “From the rookie players to those of us dinosaurs who have been here from the beginning. “Tremendous credit to a heck of an athlete, though, in Greg Morris.” Morris finished the

game with four touchdowns, one of them a 91-yard scurry with 38 seconds on the clock in the fourth quarter. If Morris can rack up a paltry six yards on the ground against Vancouver Island of Nanaimo on Saturday, Oct. 13, he will move into second all-time on the BCFC’s single-season rushing list, passing B.C. Lion Andrew Harris, who ran for 1,476 in 2009. The league record belongs to Matt Medwick, who tallied 1,592 yards in 2000 with the Valley Huskers. It was a must-win game for Kamloops, which has not qualified for the post-season since joining the league in 2007. The 2-7 Broncos will finish their schedule with a mean-nothing game against the 0-9 Chilliwack Huskers this weekend on the Lower Mainland. When asked what must be addressed this off-season, Chow was

adamant the Broncos’ indiscipline can no longer be tolerated. “I know we sound like a broken record, but the unsportsmanlikes, the yapping . . . maybe it’s just me being too old school, but you should just keep your mouth shut,” he said. “Some coaches are forgiving of that, and not that there’s a controversy, but I guess I’m just too old school, in that those [penalties] are not forgivable. “I know the coaches have tried to address it. I know it’s pervasive throughout the league. It seems that’s sort of what kids do nowadays. I don’t care. You don’t do that.” Turnovers and penalties plagued Kamloops all season, and Morris’s

ability to run almost at will is evidence enough the defence needs to get better. There were strides made offensively, but the Broncos will again finish near the basement in the league’s points-for category. The loss will likely be toughest to swallow for the seven Broncos — Dan Hodges, Tyler Lee, Shayne Arthurs, Derek Apps, Mike McMaster, Brennan Plante and Adam Nesbitt — who will not be eligible to play next season. “Boy, we sure wanted to win that game for them,” Chow said. “Players like Ty lee and Shayne Arthurs. “They gave their hearts to our team. You just can’t say enough.”

Junior Kamloops RiverDogs come up just short The junior Kamloops RiverDogs took second place at the Big League Experience Best of the West bantam tournament, held on the weekend in the River City. Kamloops dropped a 7-6 nailbiter to White Rock in a Thanksgiving Day final. Brendan Coulter took the hill in the final, fanning seven over six innings of work before being pulled due to pitch count. The RiverDogs gave up a pair of runs in the seventh and final inning to fall short of the championship.

TOURNAMENT CAPITAL SPORTS

Lance Martin, Samuel Avila and Ben MacDonald each had a pair of hits, while Riley Jepson, Trey Chisholm and Connor McKenzie joined the hit parade. Coulter was named Kamloops’ player of the tournament. The ‘Dogs went 2-1 in the round-robin to secure a spot in the semifinal, opening with a 9-3 win over Pro Baseball Force of Calgary.

Game MVP Vincent Daley tripled and called a strong game behind the plate, Martin doubled and singled, Brendan Coulter singled twice, and MacDonald, Blaise Brewer and Rhys McKenzie chipped in with hits. Bryant Jameus pitched four strong innings, striking out seven, with MacDonald and McCoy Pearce-Orr each playing an inning on the mound in relief. Game MVP Martin threw four innings, and doubled and singled, pacing Kamloops in an 18-1 win over Okotoks Baseball Academy 2.

Avila added 3 hits, MacDonald doubled twice, Coulter tripled and singled, Chisholm and Brewer each singled twice, Connor McKenzie doubled and Jameus singled, with Daley mopping up in a scoreless inning of relief. Okotoks 1 bested the locals 9-6 in the roundrobin finale. Game MVP Chisholm threw three-plus innings in relief, Jameus singled twice, while Martin doubled and Avila and Coulter each added hits. Avila, Daley and Connor McKenzie also pitched.

The ‘Dogs bounced back to take the rematch, earning a 16-6 win over Okotoks 1 later the same day. Game MVP Coulter struck out four in three shutout innings and doubled twice to drive in three runs. MacDonald and

McKenzie each doubled and singled, Martin singled twice and Jepson added a hit, while Daley pitched the final two innings in a game shortened by the mercy rule.

WolfPack offer taste of old-time hockey By Marty Hastings STAFF REPORTER

sports@kamloopsthisweek.com

Hockey fans who are sick of rich players bickering with rich owners can breath easy — the TRU WolfPack is back. “I’ve always wanted to re-visit the collegiate ranks,” said WolfPack head coach Don Schulz, back for a second season behind the bench. “I really have a soft spot for collegiate players. They play the

game for the purest of reasons — for the love of the game.” TRU opened its B.C. Intercollegiate Hockey League regular season with an 8-6 win over the Trinity Western University Spartans in Langley on

Saturday, Oct. 6. The WolfPack return to venerable Memorial Arena on Friday, Oct. 12, when the defending-champion Victoria Vikes come to town. Puck-drop is slated for 8:30 p.m. No squabbling about revenue sharing, no whining about the salary-cap floor and damn sure not a mention of escrow payment. Instead, it’s an old rink, with a beer gar-

den cordoned off by yellow tape, a slew of rowdy fans harassing opposing goaltenders and a group of players who are playing, as Schulz said, for the love of the game. “They’ve all had successful junior careers and now they’re moving on to the next segment of their lives, but they still want to learn and compete hard,” Schulz said. “They gotta eat, they gotta do laundry,

they have a full course load and then you throw hockey on top of that. “It’s a major crash course in time management. They do it willingly and you really have to respect that.” Schulz has fond memories of coaching alongside Terry Bangen throughout the 1980s, leading the Cariboo College Chiefs of the Totem

Wildcats devoured by Lions The peewee Kamloops Wildcats fell prey to the host Kelowna Lions, losing 24-8 in Community Football play on Sunday, Oct. 7. Quarterback Carsen Day targeted receivers Cameron Treadwell, Mattias Nelson and Thomas Dyck for 100 combined yards, including a 53-yard strike to Treadwell to open the scoring. Day, along with running backs Ben Prokopetz, Marcus Kyle, Adam Buholzer and Michael MacDonald, accounted for an additional 100 yards on the ground to round out the offensive attack. Nick Berry led the defensive stand with seven solo tackles, while Mathew Stanhope, Callum Gorman, Denzel Marican, Hudson Williams, Victor

Church and Jake Toms combined for 15 more. Sean Smit account-

ed for an interception and Colby Griffiths recovered a fumble. The Wildcats take

their 2-5 record to Salmon Arm to play the Colts on Sunday, Oct. 14.

Wenger: A Thanksgiving cleanse

’M NOT SURE what I was thinking starting a cleanse the week before Thanksgiving but, as it turned out, it wasn’t a bad idea after all. I always find poor eating to be a bit of a slippery slope. A few bad choices turn into habits and pretty soon the sometimes foods are showing up on a daily basis. After a spring and early summer of cycling events, where carbs and sugar were my best friends, I forgot about weaning myself off in August and September. Being the survivor I am, it didn’t take long to see the results. When the word “cleanse” came up in conversation, I was quick to jump on the bandwagon. And, doing it with a friend is even better because the accountability factor is so much bigger. Even though I think it would be just as effective to take the food “do’s” and “don’ts” list and follow that, I find buying the actual kit keeps me more solidly on track. If I spend money, I’ll follow through. It’s pretty basic stuff. No sugar or sweeteners. No dairy. No wheat. Lots of vegetables, whole grains and lean proteins. It’s not rocket science, but I’m amazed at how much more preparation it takes. I have to plan my

SHAWN WENGER Fitness For MORTALS week, shop for vegetables constantly and pre-cook my proteins. I can’t just grab convenient foods from the cupboard and shove them into my lunch bag before rushing out the door. And, on really busy fitness days, I have to be very careful not to go too far into a calorie deficit and make my body think it’s starving. It takes a lot of healthy foods to get enough calories some days. Nuts and seeds are my friends on busy days. I have been really committed, taking two days off for Thanksgiving, but confident that I would be back on track again Tuesday, knowing that the cleanse will keep me from sliding back into the bad habits for a few more days and floundering to get back on track each day. I’ve fallen into that trap so many times — “I messed up today. Tomorrow is a new day and I’ll get back on track.” It happens day after day after day. It like anything . . . find the strategy. In my case, put

some money out and find a friend to support me. My family, even though they tease me sometimes, is really amazing as well. I actually did an overnight backpacking trip and stayed on track. My husband said, “You can’t seriously be bringing rice cakes into the mountains.”

I’m feeling better. My stomach was pretty unhappy with my Thanksgiving cheat day and I’m reminded why eating clean is a better way to go most of the time. I believe in treats and cheats, but sometimes the cravings get a little overwhelming and it’s time to clean the slate and

Pint-size inventors eye new robotics By Andrea Klassen STAFF REPORTER andrea@kamloopsthisweek.com

HE ROBOT WHIZZES ACROSS THE FLOOR OF THE BIG LITTLE SCIENCE CENTRE AND PLOWS STRAIGHT INTO A WALL BEFORE TURNING 90 DEGREES AND CONTINUING ON ITS WAY. This is not your typical Lego. Starting Friday, Oct. 26, the centre’s robotics club will kick into gear for another year. During the course of three four-week sessions, kids ages 10 and up will learn to build and program their own bots using Lego robotics kits. Hunter Galbraith, 11, and Ryan Watson, 10 — who have attended previous clubs — are already planning their next creations. Hunter has his eye on a complicated truck design where the front wheels can move independently of the rest of the vehicle. “I’ve never actually been able to accomplish it, but I’m definitely going to try,” he says, pulling up a design schematic on a laptop. Ryan is thinking of something more sci-fi. “A Star Wars walker,” he says. “That is an awesome one,” Hunter agrees. And not, it turns out, all that difficult to make — the trick is getting the robot stable enough that it can balance on one leg while the other is in motion. “You can do anything with robots,” Hunter says. “That’s what’s great about robots. You can just let your imagination run free.” Building a bot is done in two stages. To make the body, club members use Lego gears, claws, wheels, motors and other pieces, which are attached to “the brain” — a small grey box that looks a bit like a thermostat. Builders can also use a number of different sensors, which link into the brain. These can detect pressure, weight, temperature, sound and light, to name just a few. Once the bot is built, the brain is plugged into a laptop and programming begins. The robot that turns when it runs into walls uses only a couple of commands, Ryan explains. It’s programmed to move forward until it hits something, turn and keeps going on an infinite loop. X See FROM INSPIRATION B2

Other designs can take several screens of input. There’s not much limit to what the robots can do, says the science centre’s executive director, Gord Stewart. Past projects in the club have included a working crane, a carddealing robot and “an alligator that just sat there and did nothing until you got to a certain distance. Then, it would rush out and grab you.” For the most part, the club is free-form. Kids build out of their imagination or by using pre-designed plans, then tear down and rebuild as soon as they’ve got their current creations fine tuned. Sometimes they’ll compete, trying to make robots that can move faster or get through mazes quicker. A club favourite is

the sumo ring — where members try to keep their robot in the ring while shoving a competitor’s creation out. “Once we get them to do that, it’s pretty hard to get them to do anything else,” Stewart says. The sumo-ring challenge led Galbraith to build his favourite creation so far. “I made a destroy-

er,” he says, as though he’s announcing the bot’s name at some sort of battle royale. “It drove up to a robot, picked it up, drove over and dropped it outside of the sumo ring. So, it crushed it while it drove. It was pretty cool.” His source of inspiration? NASA’s Mars Rover. The Big Little

Abuse revealed, play celebrates moving on Amid the humour lies a serious story of children’s lives destroyed Stories by Dale Bass STAFF REPORTER dale2kamloopsthisweek.com

Caig Lauzon (left) is Mooch and Lorne Cardinal is Floyd in Western Canada Theatre’s production of Where the Blood Mixes by B.C. playwright Kevin Loring. The pair previously starred in Thunderstick, part of WCT’s 20010 season. Dave Eagles/KTW

ITH AGE COMES WISDOM — AND ALSO KNOWLEDGE. And, knowing what happened in the former Kamloops Residential School was disturbing to the cast and crew of Where the Blood Mixes as they walked its halls heading to a rehearsal hall, said its director, Bradley Moss. The play, written by First Nations playwright Kevin Loring of Lillooett — formerly known as Kumsheen — tells the story of two school survivors who, as adults, are grappling with the demons spawned by abuse at the school. “It was kind of painful, to be honest,” Moss said of the time they spent at the former school. “You can feel the pain in the halls. “It’s great to have new life there now, but the realization, for me, of how many stories are there and knowing Kamloops’ [residential school] was one of the worst in the country, well, there’s an ocean of sadness there and the depth of it gets to be unbelievable.” That sadness permeates Where the Blood Mixes but never overwhelms it, Moss said. “It’s about trying to move on but having all the wrong tools. It tells a story that needs to be told but it is also a super-funny play.” The story is of the friendship between Mooch and Floyd. Set during the salmon run, the pair’s existence — fishing and drinking — is disrupted by news Floyd’s daughter, taken into care by the government adoption as a child, is coming to Kumsheen to learn about her family. “She’s the catalyst for them to look at their lives and move

forward,” Moss said, as the daughter, in asking questions about the past, forces the pair to confront where they came from. Craig Lauzon is Mooch and Lorne Cardinal is Floyd, both reprising roles they have performed before with Moss as director. The pair also starred in Thunderstick at Pavilion Theatre two years ago, another play directed by Moss. In fact, the Edmonton-based director said, it was Cardinal who brought the Loring play to his attention just after it was published in 2008. “He said to me, ‘It’s going to be great. You should do it’,” Moss said. The production, which includes Robert Benz as George, the bartender and only white character, SeraLys McArthur as the daughter, Christine, and Michaela Washburn as June, Mooch’s wife, will hit the road after its Kamloops performances, heading to Edmonton and Hamilton early next year. It will also be taken to Vernon, Kelowna and Penticton. Loring’s play, which won the Governor General’s Award, has a history with WCT. The theatre received a grant from Arts Partners in Creative Development in 2008 to develop the script. It did this by touring the play in a workshop model, with the late David Ross, a former artistic director at the theatre, in the role of George. The play opens today (Oct. 11) at Sagebrush Theatre, 821 Munro St., for preview, with the official opening on Saturday, Oct. 13. The run continues to Oct. 20. Tickets are the Kamloops Live Box Office, 1025 Lorne St., 250-374-5483, kamloops live.ca.

FAITH

Outreach ministry is a special moment in time

AS IT REALLY BEEN THREE years since my times in hospital to face the most difficult challenge thus far in my fight against Crohn’s disease? It seems like not that long ago the burden was put upon me to share my innermost feelings and write an article entitled From the Other Side to encourage other people to taste something of the importance of the outreach-care ministry. What has happened in the journey with God since that time in my life and what have been some of the joys of this ministry? Nothing has touched my spiritual life so deeply as that period of deepest and darkest need. There has not been

JOHN NOAKES You Gotta Have FAITH a day go by that I have not prayed for the doctors and nurses who cared for me in hospital. I remember their voices and I see their faces. I pray God will bless them and that His Spirit will minister to them and lead them unto salvation; that daily walk of grace and knowing a life of forgiveness. There have been so many moments in time that God has allowed me to have in life.

Never a day has passed that I am not thankful for having been given a second chance. Oh, if I could only pass on that message and feeling to others. Those moments in time have been etched in my mind. What comes to mind are those moments of visitation and chapel services with the elderly, the sick and sometimes, yes, the forgotten people who live in retirement homes and care facilities. Has there been a sacred trust and a covenant with God to bring the message of hope and salvation to these people whom He loves? Yes, some moments in time have brought smiles and laughter to those who seldom smile or laugh. Some of those moments in time have

brought the kindness seen in the eyes of a senior with whom a bond of trust has been formed. Some of the moments in time have been ones marked with tears. “God, Oh God, what would you have me do?” One of my places of ministry takes me to a beautiful little chapel. I love that place. It is hard to imagine what spiritual battles have been fought there. I’d like to think some have given their lives to Christ in that place. Maybe they had heard those old hymns some time before in life and have always thought there would be a better time and a better place to meet with God. Maybe that short message and a sincere invitation was all it took

to finally bring them to the place where God became real. A special moment in time happened when I thought the Sunday chapel service was just going to be another service. We had sung our songs and had heard a message about the rich ruler from the account recorded in Luke chapter 18. I was getting my guitar, my music stand and my books together when I looked down to see a solitary person sitting in a wheelchair. She was waiting to be taken from the chapel and outside to be with the others. I went and knelt on one knee beside her. I held her hand and the warmth reminded me of my mother’s hand. As we talked, she

began to cry. I knelt on both knees as my eyes filled with tears. “God,” I whispered under my breath, “If only I had the gift of healing to heal this woman.” Such a special moment in time that God had granted to me — to us. I asked if I could pray with her and, after doing so, we talked a while longer. Then, I helped take her out of the chapel to be with the others. As I left that day, I felt God had placed me where He wanted me to be for His purposes. What more could we ask, as His servants? From the side of giving to others, then from the other side of being in such need and now, back to a place where God’s hand has

been upon our community care ministry, there have been many special moments in time. “To live as one forgiven” — what a beautiful message in song by Gloria Gaither. May I be reminded of the God of all comfort (2 Corinthians 1:3-4) when I find myself placed by God to bring the message of hope and comfort to another person in need.

LOCAL NEWS

After 36 years, TRU vice-president to retire With the addition of two more highlights to top his 36-year career at Thompson Rivers University, Cliff Neufeld has announced his retirement. Recognized recently as a Fellow of the Society of Management Accountants of Canada, and having overseen the nearcompletion of the transformation of the Old Main Building, TRU’s vice-president of administration and finance will retire on March 1, 2013. “Cliff Neufeld has constantly built this university through the application of the highest standards of planning, conceptual design and execution,” said Alan Shaver, TRU president and vicechancellor.

“To say that TRU has been fortunate to have such a student-centred leader is a huge understatement.” Shaver noted there is no finer cap to Neufeld’s legacy as a campus builder than the transformation of the campus’s oldest and most utilitarian building into an architectural icon not only for TRU, but for all of Kamloops. First hired as the assistant controller of Cariboo College, when 1,500 students attended classes in a collection of cinderblock buildings bordering the city landfill, Neufeld has been instrumental in the growth of TRU to encompass more than 23,000 learners on campus and by distance. As vice-president, his portfolio has

grown to include overall leadership, strategic planning, development, implementation, administration and evaluation of units including finance, budget development, human resources, information technology, institutional planning, international, regional campuses, facilities, ancillary operations, athletics/recreation and environmental sustainability. “The continual growth, change and challenges that have confronted Cariboo College, University College of the Cariboo and Thompson Rivers University in its evolution is impressive and notable,” Neufeld said. “This institution has provided me with a job that was meaningful, stimulating, creative and re-inventive.

“At the end of the day, it has been a fulfilling and satisfying journey and I am confident that TRU will continue on a path of innovation and excellence.” Neufeld led the vision for campus development and the city’s southwest district that re-invented a dusty, vacant area of the city into a vibrant community at the heart of Kamloops, while maintaining a reputation throughout the postsecondary sector for setting a high fiscal standard. A tremendous asset to senior leadership in the matters of building, government relations and finances, Neufeld plans to remain in Kamloops and continue his interest and involvement in TRU.

TRAVEL

Bermuda shorts and pink sand in paradise By James Ross SPECIAL TO KTW travelwriterstales.com

ARK TWAIN ONCE WROTE: “YOU GO TO HEAVEN IF YOU WANT. I’LL STAY HERE IN BERMUDA.” I concur. I’ve had a longstanding love affair with the beautiful island, under her spell ever since my parents settled there for eight years in the 1980s, my clergyman father tending over the charming congregation of a pastel pink Presbyterian church on the hillside of Hamilton. I would visit, roar about on my scooter and explore every narrow lane, roundabout and pink-sand beach. I swam in her crystal-clear waters, dove her wrecks and black corral and visited her rum-laden hangouts, introducing myself to rum swizzles and Dark ’N Stormies. They say good things come in small packages. Only 21 miles long and two miles wide, Bermuda is a loosely linked chain of islands with lush, rolling hills, beautifully tended gardens and ocean views everywhere you look.

It is a welcoming place from the cheerypolite locals, the caring service and the sophisticated ambiance, to the nightly chorus of the peeping tree frogs or the resident Fairmont Southampton rooster who walks the gardens and offers up his daily morning wake-up call. The pastel colours of the buildings, with their brilliant, white, sloped, terraced, rain-collecting roof tops, complement

the pink-sand beaches and the inviting iridescent turquoise waters beyond. Travellers often think of Bermuda as a tropical island, but it is situated well north of the Caribbean-island chains, far out in the Atlantic Ocean off the coast of North Carolina. Bermuda’s impeccable location means the island is warmed by the Gulf Stream and the sun’s rays, but free of the tropic’s relentless heat. Visitors find a rich island history, beginning when a Spanish sea captain, Juan Bermudez, spotted the uninhabited islands in 1505. The British arrived a century later. Bermuda began in the Town of St. George, which was its capital for 200 years. Steeped in history, this UNESCO World Heritage Site is the oldest continuously occupied town of English origin in the New World. This is a good place to get a sense of history as you stroll the narrow streets and discover St. Peter’s Church, built in 1612, as well as a replica of the shipwrecked Sea Venture and Fort St. Catherine, built in 1614. The capital was

moved to Hamilton in 1815. My wife and I spent three nights at the Fairmont Hamilton Princess. You can spend a day here exploring the parks, museums, and British-style pubs, seafood restaurants and eclectic shops. We hopped on the ferry for a scenic trip to Somerset, site of the Bermuda Maritime Museum and Dockyards, with restaurants, a craft market, galleries and a wonderful dolphin show inside the 19th-century Dockyard Keep. For the remaining four nights of our week’s stay, we found the best of Bermuda at The Fairmont Southampton. The palatial pink hotel crowns the 100acre resort, surrounded by an executive golf course. An efficient trolley delivers you to a spectacular private beach. Adjacent to the Fairmont’s beach club is stunning South Shore Park and famous Horseshoe Beach, considered one of the top 10 beaches in the world. We walked for two miles along a labyrinth of coral caves and cliffs that jut from the satiny pink sand.

You will find this walk necessary, or perhaps the 185-step climb up nearby Gibb’s Hill Lighthouse, because of the fantastic island dining. Make sure you experience the Bermuda fish chowder liberally laced with sherry pepper sauce and black rum at the Frog and Onion in Hamilton, rockfish at the Barracuda, curriedconch stew at the Black Horse Tavern at St. George’s and a rum swizzle in the original Swizzle Inn at Bailey’s Bay, a carefree familyowned landmark. Our final night at the Waterlot Inn was our most-memorable meal. Located in a dockside cottage established in 1670, this charming restaurant can’t be surpassed for history, local charm and quality of food. Upscale but still friendly, it has an impressive seafood menu and wine cellar. A visit to Bermuda seduces your senses, delights, rejuvenates and inspires, just as it had inspired Twain long before — it is a little piece of paradise.

COMMUNITY

Big difference between teasing and bullying nology, cyber-bullying has become a common tool used to hurt a victim. Cyber-bulling involves the use of a cellphone, computer or any similar communication device to spread harmful, embarrassing or threatening information about a person. Sometimes a cyberbully will even create fictitious websites, email accounts or social-media pages in order to post embarrassing photos, comments or emails about the victim. According to Public Safety Canada, 25 per cent of people who bully others in elementary school will go on to have a criminal record by the time they are 30. Bullies are bullies for a number of reasons. Some think it makes them more popular. Some do it for revenge and some even do it as a means of defence — in other words, a bully can actually be someone who is being bullied or has been bullied. Some bullies feel inferior to others and use bullying as a means of gaining attention or acceptance amongst their peers. Still others bully because they feel less inferior when they harm

or scare someone else. It really doesn’t matter why a bully does what he or she does — what matters is bullying is dangerous and wrong. If you are a victim of bullying or if you know someone who is being bullied, talk to someone about what is happening.

OST OF US HAVE BEEN TEASED AT ONE TIME OR ANOTHER IN OUR LIVES. Teasing is usually shortlived and not intended to hurt the person, though the person being teased may not always see it that way. Bullying, on the other hand, is intended only to hurt the victim either physically or emotionally. Even though neither action is desirable, it’s not unreasonable to assume we will be subjected to teasing every now and then. However, we should never, ever be bullied. Bullying can be defined as the repeated use of words or actions for the sole purpose of hurting someone else. Bullying can be physical, like spitting, punching, kicking someone or damaging their belongings. It can also be verbal, taking the form of persistent teasing, name-calling, putdowns or using threats of violence. Sometimes the bully will use the victim’s friends or social group to make the victim look foolish, unintelligent or unworthy of friendship. With the rapid advancement of tech-

being bullied, try to offer your support. If they are willing, talk to them about what has been happening and suggest they share that with their parents or someone they feel can help. If you are being bullied, but are unsure about coming forward, document what has been happening with as much detail as possible. If, at some time you want to talk to the

police or someone in authority on what has been happening, this documentation will be extremely valuable. There are many resources available to victims of bullying and even to bullies themselves.

LOCAL VIEWS

Mob mentality can happen anywhere

ANCOUVER POLICE HAVE INDICATED THEY ARE ANTICIPATING CHARGING AT LEAST 200 MORE PEOPLE FOR THEIR INVOLVEMENT IN THE STANLEY CUP RIOTS IN 2011. What is wrong with people and how can this happen? If you think you are immune to the pressures and pulls of a mob mentality, think again. Many people who are in legal trouble for their participation in the riot never broke the law before in their lives. For those watching on television or reading about it in the news, it seems incomprehensible and defies logic that “normal” or “everyday” people would do such things. And, yet, that is exactly what happens when a mob mentality forms and, given this is the case, what is the psychology behind mob mentality? According to social psychologists, when people are part of a group, they often experience de-individuation — a loss of self-awareness — and they are less likely to follow normal restraints and inhibitions and more likely to lose their sense of individual responsibility and identity. One’s emotions can start to run wild and a sense of excitement and adventure kick in — and this is a powerful and pleasant experience for some people. When we feel emotions strongly — be they positive or negative — our ability to think or reason decreases. The larger the size of the group, the greater the feeling of being anonymous and, with that comes the belief a person can get away with behaviour they would never consider doing at other times or when alone.

Every September, Shoppers Drug Mart® stores across Canada set up a Tree of Life in support of women’s health, with 100% of all proceeds going directly to women’s health initiatives in your community. Over the years, you’ve contributed over $17 million and we’re hoping you’ll help us make a difference again this year. Visit your local Shoppers Drug Mart between September 29 and October 26 and buy a leaf ($1), a butterfly ($5), an acorn ($10) or a cardinal ($50) to help women’s health grow in your community. To find out which women’s charity your local Shoppers Drug Mart store supports, visit shoppersdrugmart.ca/treeoflife.

When part of a very large group, people experience a shift of responsibility from themselves to the group and this can lead to a feeling of lowered inhibitions. How can they trace this back to me? Some people report a belief they cannot be held responsible for violent behaviur when part of a mob because they perceive the violent action belongs to the group (as in, “everyone was doing it”). Although it is true some situations and personality types are more likely than others to become involved in a destructive mob, all of us are susceptible to behaving this way. Yes, all of us, including judges, police officers and mental health experts. Our look into this issue reveals the scary truth that group violence is most likely to occur when the group is large, people believe they are able to remain anonymous and when people experience a belief responsibility is shared among the group rather than held personally.

Certain situations can also play a huge role, such as when we are surrounded by like-minded people, or when emotions are aroused, like the situation of the Vancouver Stanley Cup riots. Just because you are a kind, thoughtful and law-abiding person day in and day out does not mean you are immune to the pressures of a group or that you will remain on the outside of a mob mentality starting to foment.

A great deal of bad behaviour and human misery is caused through the mistaken belief we have been wronged and we are entitled to get our revenge.

WEEKLY HOROSCOPE ARIES - Mar 21/Apr 20 Aries, reﬂect on happy times and then try to recreate that feeling when you are experiencing moments of stress this week. This might offer some welcome relief.

SCORPIO - Oct 24/Nov 22 Big plans are in the works that will require your supreme organizational skills, Scorpio. Others actually look to you to plan all of their events because of your talents.

TAURUS - Apr 21/May 21 Taurus, a conﬂict of interest leads you on a wild goose chase to ﬁnd something that everyone will agree upon. Opinions are strong so don’t expect this to be easy.

SAGITTARIUS - Nov 23/Dec 21 Sagittarius, baiting someone into an argument seems to be your modus operandi this week. This is certainly no way to win favors with anyone. Think this tactic through.

GEMINI - May 22/Jun 21 Gemini, success takes lots of hard work and you need to recognize you can’t please everyone. But it is a good goal to work toward for the next few days.

CAPRICORN - Dec 22/Jan 20 Capricorn, save some time for romance and relaxation. A special someone could be feeling neglected lately and will need some quiet time with you.

CANCER - Jun 22/Jul 22 Rethink your plan of attack, Cancer. While the idea has merit, there are some big gaps between ideas that can lead to too much confusion. Go back to the drawing board.

AQUARIUS - Jan 21/Feb 18 Accept help graciously, Aquarius. Such help is not always easily offered. There will be a few hectic moments this week, but otherwise the next few days will be calm.

LEO - Jul 23/Aug 23 Leo, step back from a difﬁcult situation and you will get a better idea of the bigger picture. Things are not as important as you once believed. Time for fun arrives on Thursday.

PISCES - Feb 19/Mar 20 Pisces, a remarkable insight comes to you and you cannot contain your elation over it. Spread the word ... fast!

VIRGO - Aug 24/Sept 22 Virgo, shopping strictly for the best bargain might not be the best approach. The deal actually could be too good to be true. Factor in all the information. LIBRA - Sept 23/Oct 23 Sometimes you don’t think before you speak, Libra. Avoid blurting out the ﬁrst thing that comes to mind. Friends and family may forgive you, but coworkers might not.
