Some on council think wood stoves should go By Andrea Klassen STAFF REPORTER andrea@kamloopsthisweek.com

It likely won’t happen in this decade, but city councillors have indicated they would like to see wood-burning stoves snuffed out in Kamloops homes. The city’s new airshed-management plan, a draft of which came to council this week for a policy workshop, doesn’t set out to ban wood

stoves, but targets problem burners — people using improper fuel or those with older, high-emitting appliances. “The idea is to properly manage those wood-burning appliances,” sustainability and environmental services manager Jen Fretz told council. “So if a neighbour is complaining that they’re getting smoked out, we would have some teeth in educating this person on proper burning practices.”

it might be time for the city to look at slowly phasing out the appliances. “At least you would put people on notice that, 15 years from now, you’re not going to be able to burn wood in the city,” said Coun. Ken Christian, who suggested the city eventually make it a requirement that homeowners remove wood-burning stoves and fireplaces from their residences before selling them. X See MAYOR A7

WHAT IS YOUR MOTHER TONGUE? English remains the predominant mother tongue in Kamloops-area homes, according to language data released this week by Statistics Canada. Based on the 2011 census, the numbers show 89.3 per cent (86.980) of residents in the Kamloops census area — which includes the city, the Tk’emlups Indian Band, Chase, Logan Lake, Sun Peaks and parts of the Thompson-Nicola Regional District — reported English as their mother tongue. French was next, at 1.2 per cent (1,185), while non-official languages accounted for 8.6 per cent (8,410) of the Greater Kamloops population. A remaining one per cent of respondents cited multiple languages as their mother tongue. The three mostcommon mother tongues, other than English or French, in the Kamloops region are German (1.4 per cent; 1,385), Punjabi (1.3 per cent; 1,255)

and Italian (1.1 per cent; 1,045). The percentage of the Kamloops-area population that knows how to speak English and French is 5.2 per cent (5,095). The 2011 census numbers on language in the Kamloops area are very similar to data collected in the 2006 census, to within percentage point across the board. Nationally, the census found more than 200 languages were reported as a home language or mother tongue. The number of people who reported speaking Tagalog, a Philippinebased language, most often at home increased the most (64 per cent) between 2006 and 2011. Nearly 279,000 people reported speaking the language at home, compared with 170,000 in 2006. In 2011, 17.5 per cent (5.8 million) of the Canadian population reported speaking at least two languages at home. In 2006, 14.2 per cent (4.5 million) did so.

Despite cost to maintain, ‘tot lots’ will stay STAFF REPORTER andrea@kamloopsthisweek.com

Coun. Ken Christian has a legacy project in mind for city council. However, in the words of one city staffer, if they tried it, “we’d all get hung.” As council offered suggestions for the city’s updated parks master plan at a workshop on Tuesday, Oct. 23, Christian suggested it might be time for the city to sell off its “tot lots” — tiny neighbourhood green spaces — and use the money to create a parkland-reserve fund.

Teen Tasered after standoff

PEEVED ABOUT PROPOSED PIPELINES

By Andrea Klassen

The small neighbourhood parks are expensive to maintain, Christian said, and he doesn’t think they’re as well utilized as they were back in the 1970s, when they were all the rage in city planning. “I don’t think people are sending their kids to a lot any more,” he said. “There are certainly little pieces of property all around the city that we are responsible for maintaining that are really under-utilized.” Christian’s pitch didn’t find much support around the council table. “I cannot disagree more with Coun. Christian on

small parks,” Coun. Donovan Cavers said. “I think small parks are very important, especially given our lofty goals for density and infilling.” Cavers would like to see the city make more of an effort to add small parks to areas of high density. City parks planner Mike Doll said the current plan is to get away from building tot lots because of the high cost of maintenance — but not to eliminate that practice completely or give up green spaces that already exist since it’s difficult to find land to build

new parks in established neighbourhoods. “I think if we ever tried to get rid of them, we’d all get hung, so it’s not a direction we’re looking at,” he said. Overall, Doll said, the city is in good shape when it comes to the amount of parkland it has. For every 1,000 people, the city has more than four hectares of parkland, about double the amount on offer in Kelowna — and that figure doesn’t include nature or provincial parks. However, Doll added, the city will need to secure new park space in develop-

ing neighborhoods such as Batchelor Heights and Juniper Ridge. The public is also clamouring for more waterparks, more off-leash dog areas, more picnic spaces and safer park spaces. While Doll said he wasn’t surprised to find some people don’t always feel safe in the city’s larger parks — something the parks department plans to address with more lighting and other design tweaks — he said he was surprised to find some residents have the same problems in smaller neighbourhood spaces.

Police used a Taser to subdue a Kamloops teen who had allegedly threatened to shoot his mother before holing up inside his Sahali home on Tuesday, Oct. 23, triggering a standoff with police. The incident began at about 6 p.m. in a townhouse in the 1400-block of Springhill Drive, when Mounties were called to a reported dispute between a 16-year-old boy and his mom. Kamloops RCMP Const. Bernie Ward said the teen told his mother he had a gun and threatened to use the weapon on her and himself. For an hour, traffic on Springhill Drive was shut down as police attempted to determine if the boy had access to firearms. When officers entered the home at about 7 p.m., Ward said, the teen was wielding a wooden board. “It presented itself [as a weapon] to the point where the members used the Taser,” Ward said. The boy was held at Royal Inland Hospital for a psychiatric assessment. Ward said criminal charges are likely, given the serious nature of the alleged threats. “At this point, I’m not going to get into what kind of charges could come,” he said. “The first this is threats, obviously, but there’s going to be more investigation here.” No firearms were found inside the home.

Quartet ‘overdoses’ to protest homeopathy By Tim Petruk

Ray Blessin did not appear the least bit tired as he spoke with reporters on a Seymour Street sidewalk on Tuesday, Oct. 23, moments after ingesting a bottle full of homeopathic sleeping pills. One of four Kamloops residents taking part in a “mass overdose” on homeopathic remedies, Blessin appeared unaffected by the pills — called Calms Forte. “I think this homeopathic so-called medicine is bad science,” he said. “They mislead people into thinking the remedies will help them, so it’s dangerous.” Bill Ligertwood also took part in the demonstration, “overdosing” on belladonna. “We’re doing this to show and prove there’s nothing to these remedies,” he said. “We know that.” Homeopathic remedies are heavily diluted concoctions often made with dangerous ingredients, Ligertwood said. He said the wouldbe active ingredients are undetectable by the time the dilution process is done. The danger, he said, is in people taking homeopathic remedies thinking they’re getting medicine. “There is harm if they’re actually sick and they take this thinking it’s going to cure them,” he said. The demonstration was held in front of the office of Dr.

Accident leaves driver on life support By Tim Petruk STAFF REPORTER

tim@kamloopsthisweek.com

Kamloops Mounties are looking for information from witnesses after a Tuesday, Oct. 23, single-vehicle collision on the Trans-Canada Highway in Sahali left a man on life support in hospital. RCMP Staff Sgt. Grant Learned said emergency crews were called to an area near the Columbia Street exit from Highway 1 shortly after 7 a.m. Police believe the

22-year-old man behind the wheel of a 1999 Chevrolet Cavalier lost control and left the road, rolling down a 30-foot embankment before coming to a stop near the intersection of Columbia Street and Notre Dame Drive. Learned said ambulance and fire crews provided first aid on the driver before he was rushed to hospital with severe chest and head trauma. Slick roads likely played a role in the crash, Learned said.

Motorists line up as work continues along Summit Drive in preparation for paving crews. The roadwork will see the westbound exit from Highway 1 to Summit Drive closed on Sunday, Oct. 28. Dave Eagles/KTW

Snow leaves, detours linger While an early snowfall has pushed back paving dates, major roadwork on Victoria Street and Summit Drive is still expected to wrap up within the city’s targets. Capital-projects manager Kristen Meersman said snow kept crews from completing planned paving work on Summit last weekend. They’ll make a second attempt starting Friday, Oct. 26, and will shut down the west-

bound exit on Highway 1 on Sunday, Oct. 28. While half of Victoria Street was paved on Monday, Oct. 22, another dump of snow held up the project again for a day, although the rest of the downtown paving work was expected to be finished by the end of Wednesday, Oct. 24. Meersman said brick crosswalks on Victoria Street will be refilled by the end of next week.

Despite the delays, Meersman said the project — which saw rutted roadways ground down and resurfaced — is still on track to finish on time. “We generally try and strive for the end of the month when it comes to road and paving projects, so our schedule did get thrown off a little bit with the snow, but we’re still working towards the same dates,” she said.

Mayor wants any action on stoves to be gradual X From A7

Coun. Tina Lange said the city’s first step should be to stop issuing permits for new wood stoves if it’s going to look at an eventual ban. Fretz said staff had looked at the option of an outright ban on wood stoves, but had decided against bringing one in now since many people still use them to provide at least some of their heat. Mayor Peter Milobar said whatever action the city takes should be gradual to avoid sparking a backlash and that wood-stove education is a good first step. “It’s similar to the

dogs in a way. We don’t tell people no one in the city is allowed to have a dog; we target the people who have a problem with their animals,” he said. “The people who are doing things properly with their wood stoves, why tell them that they can’t have a wood stove?” Fretz told KTW wood-burning appliances were a major point of contention when city staff consulted the public for the plan, with equal numbers of people defending the stoves and complaining of health issues caused by the smoke. However, she said,

it’s difficult to determine how much of an effect the stoves are having on the city’s overall air quality. “Overall, do we see impacts of wood stoves on the technical readings from the instruments? Not really,” she said. “But, if you live next door to somebody who has poor burning practices, I would think that air quality is greatly impacted by it. It’s kind of a tough question to answer.” The draft airshed plan also calls for the city to trade in its older vehicles for low-emitting models and to set higher fees for burning

permits. Staff will also look at stricter regulations around drive-thrus, though there are no plans to ban them outright, despite some suggestions from the public to do so. The city is also working with the provincial Ministry of Environment to better measure Kamloops’ air quality and will set up a system to track airquality complaints from residents neighbourhood by neighbourhood. The draft plan will come back for further debate and adoption at a later date after staff make tweaks based on council’s suggestions.

Khadr was a child whose childhood was denied him

“I

N THE TECHNICAL sense of the word.” Only Vic Toews could defy fact by uttering those seven words. In the mind of our country’s public-safety minister, Omar Khadr was technically not a child soldier when, as a child, he was involved in the war in Afghanistan and killed Christopher Spear, a 28-year-old U.S. army medic. Technically, Omar was a child. Technically, he committed the act of a soldier. Seems to make perfect sense to me but, in this case, hindsight isn’t 20/20. It instead gives Toews and Layne Morris, another American soldier who is speaking out about Khadr, some sort of deluded idea the boy was acting of his own free will. The two of them need to do some basic research, starting with a study done by doctors at Boston’s Children’s Hospital and the Harvard Medical School. The physicians have been studying the adolescent brain and their observations have been succinctly put this way: “The teenage brain is not just an adult brain with fewer miles on it,” one of the doctors said. “It’s a paradoxical time of development. These are people with very sharp brains, but they’re not quite sure what to do with them.” Studies have shown the adolescent brain develops slowly with the frontal lobe — that’s the part that controls reasoning, planning and judgment — not fully developing until about age 25.

DALE BASS Street

LEVEL Omar didn’t hit 25 until last year and by then, had been held for eight years in the abomination that is the prison in Guantanamo, Cuba. The teenaged brain is also influenced by its environment, researchers have discovered — a fact they could have figured out by just asking almost any parent. Consider the environment in which Omar grew up, with a father who was closely tied to the mujahideen and the top echelon of alQaeda. Nine years ago, Ahmed Khadr took his family from their home in Canada back to Pakistan, where he went back to work at an NGO — but where his co-workers discovered the man who once was seen as a humanitarian had become a fervent Muslim who believed in martyrdom. Now, imagine growing up in that environment, with a brain still developing, still mightily influenced by everything going on around it. Think of it as a variation of Stockholm Syndrome. The children in that family were subjected to a specific lifestyle and

beliefs constantly. It had to affect them. So, for Morris to talk about how Omar had an hour — one entire hour between entering the conflict area and throwing the IED that killed Speer — to come to his sense would be laughable if it wasn’t so tragic. One hour can’t undo 15 years of indoctrination. And, let’s not forget the “trial” where Omar was supposedly convicted, a military tribunal later ruled by the U.S. Supreme Court to have been illegal. That led to another trial by a U.S. military commission — the legitimacy of which was thrown into question when Salim Hamdan, Osama Bin Laden’s driver also convicted of crimes by a commission, saw his conviction overturned and the legitimacy of the commission questioned by the Supreme Court. This is not to say Omar should have been spared accountability for the life he took. Justice can and does every day deal with child criminals, recognizing the fact that, while they have done some heinous things, they are still children and, if we believe the underpinining of our legal system, they can be rehabilitated. The sad part of this column, however, is that, while arguing Omar was a child in age, in body and in brain function when he killed Speer, that very childhood that is the crux of the viewpoint was denied him as he sat for years in Guantanamo. dale@kamloopsthisweek.com kamloopsstreetlevel.tumblr.com

Learning an additional language opens so many doors at so many levels. Those who can speak more than one language can attest to this, as can parents who have children who are immersed in learning a language other than English. Be it for future career opportunities or for better travel experiences, there simply is no downside to adding languages to one’s intellectual repertoire. Statistics Canada this week released language data from 2011 census and it shows, to the surprise of nobody, Kamloops remains an English-dominant community. In fact, the breakdown of languages spoken in homes in Kamloops has not really changed since the last census in 2006. However, it is interesting to note about one in almost nine people in the Kamloops census area cite a language other than English or French as their mother tongue. After English and French, the languages of German, Punjabi and Italian are most-commonly spoken in the city, followed by Chinese languages and Arabic. While not representing as rich a dialect domain as is encountered on the Lower Mainland, the fact 1,200 people in the area cite French as their mother tongue and another 8,400 speak one of an assortment of other languages does show the Kamloops region is not as linguistically bland as, perhaps, some may believe. From French immersion schools to an array of language electives available in our high schools, exercising the tongue and brain while expanding our communication skills can only enhance our lives.

We have to understand what really happened Editor: One day, a young girl made one mistake that sent her life spiraling out of control. As she lost control in her life, she turned to drugs and alcohol to ease the pain. In the end, she decided to end her life. Today, we are going to talk about Amanda Todd — not the media sensation, but the girl behind the story, taken from her own words. The only way to stop a repeat of this tragedy is to understand what actually happened in this girl’s life. Amanda went looking for attention in an Internet chat room, as many people do. She suffered from low self-esteem and wanted to feel better about herself. However, what she found was a coldhearted sexual predator. He built up her confidence to the point she was willing to do whatever he wanted. In a moment of weakness, she exposed herself on a web cam. She thought she was in an anonymous situation and no one would ever find out. A year later, the predator was back to exploit Amanda again. As she refused to show him more, he posted a picture of her everywhere, including on Facebook. One simple moment in her life changed everything. The media have done an incredible job of dehumanizing Amanda.

Through this process, Amanda is seen less and less as a person and more as a fictional character. The more we hear this story, the more we become desensitized to it. By turning this story into an anti-bullying campaign, the media have been able to win over public opinion and keep this story in the news. All the interviews with her closest friends are examples of how her story has been manipulated. The message Amanda died to get out has been lost. The online attacks have continued even after her death. The comments you can read

online about Amanda are disturbing. Most of these individuals are making the exact same mistake Amanda made — they assume an online identity gives them anonymity. These comments seem to be more of a contest to see who can post the worst possible attack. These individuals have to learn the simple lesson Amanda learned: Once it’s online, you can’t take it back. Clearly, in order to prevent a repeat of this tragedy, we have to understand what actually took place. A troubled young girl trying to escape her emotional abyss lost everything. She called out for help for three years, to no avail. In a final attempt to take back control of her life, she wrote her story on cue cards and made another webcam video. Amanda committed suicide shortly after posting her story online. To bring an end to her pain, she went back to where it all started — on her webcam. Imprisoned by loneliness and silenced by her peers, Amanda hoped the world would understand her final message. Wayne Mernickle social-work studies Thompson Rivers University

From the Kamloops Food Bank: Thank you all Editor: Thank you, Kamloops-North Thompson Liberal MLA Terry Lake, for providing a wonderful reason for me to thank this entire community. You nonchalantly walked into the Kamloops Food Bank without fanfare, but with a thoughtful donation. This random act of kindness gave me an opportunity to pause and think about how often this happens in our small miracle of a community. Kamloops ensures on a daily basis we can feed each person who comes to our door. We are able to do this with compassion and respect because Kamloopsians make certain we can.

Our politicians — Lake, Conservative MP Cathy McLeod, Kamloops-South Thompson Liberal MLA Kevin Krueger, Mayor Peter Milobar, among many — have each visited the food bank without media in tow and with the desire to listen and understand. They are busy professionals who always make the time. Service groups also help us feed the hungry. The twice-a-year Rotary food drives ensure we have enough food to fill hampers each month. The Elks, Kinsmen, Kiwanians and Lions bring their barbecue skills, sorting and truckfilling skills to us all the time. School children also

help with their own time as volunteers, through their own fundraisers and with their understanding of the value of the work they are helping us to do. There are so many people out there who create their own fundraisers to help us, collect food and money and then call us up. They do this without any fanfare — they simply want to help.

Local businesses donate their close-dated produce, bread and dairy products each day to help feed 7,000 people — many of them infants, toddlers, youth and seniors. Forty community agencies that make meals for those who are struggling also benefit from this ongoing help we receive at the food bank. Employee groups who gather donations, pay to wear jeans and encourage awareness and understanding, all the people who put yellow bags on their doorstep, fill the bins in the grocery stores, volunteer at our events and advocate for goodness — all help us with our work. The media who consistently remind everyone of what we do and why

we’re here — they help us. Our volunteers work tirelessly every day to sort food, make hampers and offer hope and smiles to our clients. Our staff — compassionate, generous, funny, hard-working and respectful — make this place even better by their presence. Then there are our clients, who remind me daily of the power of hope and resilience. It takes a small village to raise a child and a generous, compassionate, kind, thoughtful and caring community to ensure none of them go hungry. Thank you, Terry, for this opportunity to be grateful.

CUPE head expects contract ratiﬁcation By Tim Petruk STAFF REPORTER

tim@kamloopsthisweek.com

Labour strife is no more for Thompson Rivers University’s 600 unionized support workers. The school and the CUPE Local 4879 have reached a tentative deal that will see two per cent wage hikes in two consecutive years. Though technically a four-year contract retroactive to 2010, the deal will expire on April 1, 2014. “We were able to create this agreement through co-operative gains — cost savings and additional income,” said Christopher Seguin, TRU’s vice-president of advancement. “Those are the changes we’ve been making over the last couple of years, like finding efficiencies, travel changes, parking fees.” CUPE Local 4879 president Lois Rugg said the bargaining process was prolonged by red tape, noting any item that included a monetary element had to be sent to Victoria for approval. As an example, Rugg said granting bereavement leave for the death of a grand-

child was denied because it was considered a monetary item by the government’s Post Secondary Education Council. “We’re not happy with how the process went but, at this point, we feel it’s the best deal we could get at this time,” she told KTW. “It’s been a long time, so it’s nice to get this process behind us.” According to Seguin, TRU had to keep Victoria in the loop. “We’re a public institution with a provincial mandate that we stay within,” he said. “But, I think we came to a fair and sustainable agreement.” The deal came after three weeks of job action, during which time workers walked off the job more than once. However, classes were never disrupted. Rugg believes union members will be happy with the deal. “We won’t know for sure until we do have the ratification vote, but we do have a deal we think the members will accept,” she said. A date for the ratification vote has yet to be set, though Rugg said she hopes to see it held early next week.

Murder suspect back in court next month By Tim Petruk STAFF REPORTER

tim@kamloopsthisweek.com

A Kamloops man accused of murdering his common-law wife during a domestic dispute last weekend isn’t expected to appear in a courtroom until next month. Gerald Raymond Peters, 48, is facing one count of seconddegree murder in the death of 48-year-old Deborah Anne Joseph. On Saturday, Oct. 20, emergency crews found Joseph’s

lifeless body inside a home in the 600-block of East Shuswap Road on the Tk’emlups Indian Band reserve. Initial reports indicated she had been stabbed, but police have yet to confirm that. Court documents show Peters has a history of domestic violence. Earlier this month, he was sentenced to an 18-month probation term after pleading guilty to assault causing bodily harm. That charge dated back to an incident on July 2, 2011. In June 2008, he served

two weeks in jail after breaching the terms of his probation stemming from a previous assault conviction. An autopsy was performed on Joseph’s body on Monday, Oct. 22. Police have said they will not be releasing any more information about the circumstances surrounding her death. Peters, who has been in custody since his arrest shortly after Joseph was found dead, is expected to appear in Kamloops provincial court on Nov. 8.

A fully finished and fully paved Rivers Trail is one of the highlights of a set of plans calling for Kamloops to spend an extra $500,000 per year on its trails and pedestrian pathways. Under the new pedestrian and trails master plans, Kamloops would spend

list of high- and lowerpriority projects, with additions and improvements to the Rivers Trail at the top of the list, including improvements to the Tranquille Road segments of the pathway and a route from the city centre to Campbell Creek. “The public have told us in no uncertain terms they want to see it finished. It is the spine of the trail net-

a “shopping list” that includes those projects featured in more than one of the documents and have tried to spread the upgrades throughout the city. The list includes space for pedestrians on Todd Road, a pedestrian overpass on Summit Drive and a bike path for Tranquille Road. That last item had a few councillors concerned, however. “When I’ve cycled out that way, I avoid Tranquille,” Coun. Nancy Bepple said. “I feel much more comfortable on Fleetwood or one of the other streets and I think that maybe we want to look at not developing Tranquille as a bike corridor. We have the big semis going down the road. It’s a very busy street.” However, Coun. Donovan Cavers said the road is already a bike corridor, whether council likes it or not. “I know a lot of people that use that as a direct commuter path and most cyclists want a path that is as direct as possible, like most motorists,” he said. If council agrees to the $1.6 million figure — which Felker said could mostly be funded primarily with gas tax cash, grants, development cost charges and gaming money — they could get through the high priority list in about 10 years.

said, adding he’s also heard strong support for the plan. “I had just as many people saying. ‘Why isn’t the Westsyde dike paved?’ as people saying, ‘Why would you pave it?’” A full build-out of the trail system would cost about $17 million and Doll said it’s the single-biggest expense in the new plan. The trails plan

Happy trail$? $1.6 million each year on sidewalk and pathway construction, up from the current $1.1 million. Mike Doll, the city’s parks planner, told council at a workshop on Tuesday, Oct. 23, that there’s a major demand from residents for more trails and better amenities on those that already exist. According to an Ipsos Reid survey completed for the plan, nearly 50 per cent of city residents walk for exercise, with another 15 per cent hopping on bikes and 13 per cent running — and, Doll said, public consultation backed up those findings. “In a nutshell, it was, ‘We like what we have, but please give us more’,” he said. The plan includes a

work,” Doll said. However, he admits the current plan isn’t without some controversial elements. Attempts to pave sections of the trail in the past have met community resistance. In Westsyde, residents near the Oak Hills dike portion of the Rivers Trail rallied against paving efforts in 2010, citing concerns about skateboarders and the effects of hot pavement on dogs. The trail remains unpaved in that area. But, Doll said, full paving remains the city’s end goal. “That’s always been the intention of the Rivers Trail, so that no matter your mode of transportation you’ll be accommodated,” he

would also see the city start using provincial classifications for its trails — green circles on relatively easy routes, black diamonds on more difficult paths — and add more garbage cans, signage, benches and washrooms to trail routes where possible. On the pedestrian side, the plan focuses on adding more sidewalks, pathways and pedestrian shoulders in the city. Because there’s overlap between the two plans, as well as the city’s recently adopted bicycle master plan, transportation planner Erin Felker said staff have created

NEVER TOO TIRED TO WAIT Kamloopsians are experiencing long lineups as motorists are rushing to have their winter tires put on their vehicles following the surprise early snowfall this month. Although this Kal-Tire shop on Notre Dame Drive in Sahali takes appointments, it is booked into November. For everyone else, it is first come, first served at 7:30 a.m. weekdays and 8 a.m. on Saturdays. When does the shop close? When the final lugnuts are tightened, which makes for long days for the busy crew at Kal-Tire and other tire shops. Dave Eagles/KTW

Association welcomes justice changes By Tom Fletcher BLACK PRESS

tfletcher@blackpress.ca

Samiran Lakshman, president of the B.C. Crown Counsel Association, said he welcomes changes to a justice system that has prosecutors in some communities overwhelmed. “Not every courthouse has a delay problem,” Lakshman said. “We have acute delay issues in the busiest courthouse in the province, which is Surrey, as well as places like Fort St. John, Nanaimo and Richmond.” Attorney General Shirley Bond was in Kamloops this week to launch a new court-management system designed to improve efficiency and cut down the backlog of criminal cases. The changes are based on a review of the system conducted by lawyer Geoffrey Cowper, which analyzed a “culture of delay” that resists change. Cowper concluded the problem is partly

because there is an incentive, particularly for defence lawyers, to delay cases, and no system for enforcing timely hearings of evidence. “During the review, there was a general sense that judges and lawyers have their own, insulated sense of what constitutes timeliness and responsiveness,” Cowper wrote in his report, released in September. Bond announced the first phase of changes, including the establishment of a new oversight organization. “The Justice and Public Safety Council will be asked to publish performance measures and we’re going to look at designing and determining what those measures are, and there will be targets attached to them,” Bond said. In Surrey, Lakshman said, it now takes 14 months or more to schedule a half a day for a brief trial. Defendants who have waited 18 months or more can apply for

and often receive a stay of proceedings because their case has taken too long. Both Lakshman and NDP justice critic Leonard Krog have repeatedly pointed to a reduction of 16 provincial court judges since 2005. Lakshman said the recent imposition of a government-wide hiring freeze has slowed the replacement of prosecutors, sheriffs and court clerks because each new hire requires approval from the head of the public service. Bond has questioned why waiting time in courts increases even when the crime rate and the number of new cases declines. She said it should not take an average of seven appearances in court before a criminal case goes to trial. In his report, Cowper

noted 98 per cent of criminal cases end with a guilty plea or a stay of proceedings, but the system treats all cases as if they are going to trial. He said the number of new cases dropped sharply last year as most impaired-driving charges were replaced with roadside suspensions and are now at the same level as the early 1990s. “The current rules were the result of a wholesale change made over a decade ago to involve judges more actively in the pre-trial phase of proceedings to encourage early resolution and reduce the high proportion of cases that collapse on the first day of trial,” Cowper wrote. “Neither prosecutors nor defence counsel changed their practices in order to realize the potential of the new rules.”

Public gets another say on parking

2012/13 Early Bird Memberships on sale now! Purchase Winter Membership early and play October and November FREE!*

Issue matters to more than just downtown businesses, Kamloops Voters Society says By Andrea Klassen STAFF REPORTER andrea@kamloopsthisweek.com

The Kamloops Voters Society will present a parking discussion forum tonight (Oct. 25), one night after the Kamloops Central Business Improvement Association (KCBIA) hosted its open house on the subject Brad Harrison of the Kamloops Voters Society said the group was approached by a number of business owners and members of the public who wanted to have more say on changes proposed for parking in the downtown core. Among the options on the table is a meterrate hike to $1 an hour on most downtown streets and up to $1.50 an hour on Victoria Street — with the extra cash going to fund new parking in the area and better management of existing stock. Parking meters would also be replaced with credit-card friendly terminals and the 24-hour discount

rate on parking tickets would rise to about $10. The ideas were pitched to the city by the KCBIA and workshopped at city council earlier this summer. Society member Chris Ortner said he recognizes the association put a lot of volunteer work into its plan, “but it’s from the point of view of the downtown business association. “No one stopped to ask the public or the seniors or the churches or the social agencies or anybody like that what they want to see.” “This began with people asking the individual directors of the society when they were going to get to say their two bits’ worth — and the fact is they might not have if someone hadn’t organized something.” The forum will begin with a panel discussion including, among others, city CAO David Trawin, community safety and enforcement manager Jon Wilson, Peter Pietramala of the KCBIA, Movie Mart

Seeking the Great Pumpkin — or, at least, some good pumpkins during a trip to Tranquille Farms were one-year-old Sienna Lieuwen (above) and the motherand-daughter team of Leigha Whynacht and Callah Dougherty. Those seeking a spookier Halloween experience can drive farther west along Tranquille Road to Tranquille on the Lake, where, on Saturday, Oct. 27, and Sunday, Oct. 28, from 5 p.m. to 9 p.m., the corn maze will be buzzing with activity in the dark.

We Can Work With You To: • GUARANTEE premiums IMMEDIATELY upon approval. • Provide coverage that NEVER DECREASES with each payment. • Coverage can NOT be CANCELLED unless requested by you in writing. • Provide you PREMIUMS often LOWER than banks.

At the TRU Foundation’s annual fundraising campaign breakfast on Oct. 18, the Fawcetts pledged another $100,000 toward student awards, bringing their total gift to student awards to $155,500.

Research theme of TRU Foundation By Tim Petruk STAFF REPORTER

tim@kamloopsthisweek.com

Nearly 400 people turned out last week as the Thompson Rivers University Foundation held its annual campaign-kickoff breakfast. “It went really good,” said Karen Gamracy, director of advancement at Thompson Rivers University. “It’s about just exposing people to what the foundation is all about and what we do — what our campaign is and the need for private donations.” This year’s theme is research. The keynote address was delivered by science professor Wendy Gardner, who spoke about mine reclamation. Attendees also heard from fourth-year science student Tamara Bandet. “At TRU, undergraduate students do get the opportunity to do research,” Gamracy said. “At a lot of universities, they don’t. So, I think the community enjoyed hearing about that.” The Oct. 18 breakfast was not technically a fundraising event, Gamracy said, but the TRU Foundation was accepting donations. More than $330,000 was raised at the event, including large donations from the Stollery Foundation, Ron and Rae Fawcett and TB Vets. Gamracy said the TRU Foundation routinely doles out more than $1 million annually to students. Last year, she said, that number was about $1.25 million. The TRU Foundation’s next event is an awards presentation in November, followed by its annual gala dinner on Feb. 2.

Fireworks now permitted The City of Kamloops has followed the lead of the Kamloops Fire Centre in lifting the fire ban — which is good news for fans of fireworks as vendors will be able to sell their wares in time for Halloween night. The citywide fire ban was rescinded this week due to the favourable weather conditions and the wildfire danger rating being reduced to moderate. Open burning for the purposes of yard clean-up will be permitted from Nov. 1

to Nov. 30. Permits may be purchased at Fire Station No. 1 at 1205 Summit Dr. from Monday to Friday, from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. Cost of the permit is $50 — cash or cheque only. Farm, hazard mitigation (pine beetle) and land clearing permits will be available from Nov. 1 to March 31, 2013. These permits require a site inspection. The sale and discharge of consumer fireworks will be permitted until Nov. 1.

As a reminder, any open burning within the City of Kamloops and Tk’emlups Indian Band requires a permit. Anyone burning without a permit will be subject to a minimum fine of $500. The city wants to remind residents that the wildland urban interface areas are still dry and to take precautions when having an open fire. For additional permit information, call 250-3725131 or go online to kamloops.ca/firerescue.

LOCAL VIEWS

Of discrimination and mental illness Mental health No. 1 cause of disability in Canada; 500,000 unable to work weekly

EFORE WE begin, thank you for all the notes we received about last week’s column on bullying. We received many positive and supportive messages and one person who felt the article focused too much on what the “victim is doing wrong.” We appreciate and value all of our readers’ comments and we look forward to writing more on the topic of bullying as it is truly complex and there is no easy way for our limited space to do justice to more than one aspect at a time. Until then, today’s topic relates to bullying in the sense that many adults with mental illness find they face discrimination or that they are treated differently than other people — or differently than before their mental illness was disclosed. In many senses, this is a form of bullying, too. For example, last week it was announced a study found 79 per cent of people with depression reported they had experienced some form of discrimination. The research covered more than 1,000 subjects in 35 countries. The discrimination took the form of avoidance and shunning from others, avoidance of close relationships and avoidance of work application in the fear of discrimination. The study focused primarily on depression, and revealed 71 per cent of people wanted to conceal depression from others tending to prove the suspicion that people avoid treatment because of a fear of discrimination. One outcome from

the research was that many people who anticipated rejection or discrimination from close relationships or work found this did not happen. About 45 per cent of the time, the fears of the depressed person turned out to be incorrect. The fear of negative consequences for admitting symptoms of depression is hurting our society and our economy. By avoiding the symptoms, people are absent from their jobs more often and for longer blocks of time. By delaying the onset of treatment, the depressive episode is more debilitating and lasts longer — and this only feeds into the perception that people with depression or other mental illnesses are not good employees. Like all mental illnesses, depression ranges in severity and impact. According to Centre for Addiction and Mental Health in Toronto, the Canadian stats are staggering: • Mental illness is the second-leading cause of disability and premature death. • On any given week, at least 500,000 are unable to work due to mental illness, including approximately 355,000 disability cases due to mental and/or behavioural disorders plus approximately 175,000 full-time workers absent from work due to mentalhealth issues. • Mental health is the No. 1 cause of disability in Canada, accounting for nearly 30 per cent of disability claims and 70 per cent of the total costs • $51 billion is

the estimated cost of mental illness to the Canadian economy in terms of health care and lost productivity. • $34 billion is the cost of mental illness

and addictions to the Ontario economy alone. • According to the World Health Organization, depression will be the single-biggest medical burden on health by 2020. Are the stats on depression depressing?

arper

Not at all! Information is power and this should be a wake-up call for employers and individuals to own up to signs of depression and to be supportive to those who disclose it. With openness comes better outcomes.

Until next time, thank you again for your notes and suggestions and you can continue to send your thoughts to Kamloops@ cmha.bc.ca because we love to hear from you.

GLOBAL VIEWS

Funneling fuel from the air

TOCKTONON-TEES, a small city in northeastern England, has only one claim to fame — the first railway tracks were made and laid in the city in 1822 and the first-ever train ran on those tracks in 1825. But, it might one day have another claim, also related to transportation — a locally based startup company called Air Fuel Synthesis has just produced the first gasoline from air and water. It isn’t a lot of gas — five litres in two months — but Peter Harrison, the company’s chief executive, hopes that, within two years, they will build a larger plant producing a tonne a day. He envisages refineryscale operations within 15 years. “We’ve taken carbon dioxide from air and hydrogen from water and turned these elements into petrol,” Harrison told a conference at the Institution of Mechanical Engineers in London. Since the carbon dioxide that goes into the air when this fuel is burned equals exactly the amount that was taken out of the air when it was fabricated, it is a carbonneutral fuel. Provided, of course, the electricity used in the process comes from renewable sources. No wonder people who worry about global warming are excited about this breakthrough

GWYNNE DYER World WATCH — but they should get excited slowly. The question was never if you could create a complex hydrocarbon like gasoline from just air and water, but how much it costs to do it compared to just pumping oil out of the ground and refining it. The answer in the past has been far too much. Splitting water molecules to get hydrogen is expensive in terms of electricity required. Carbon dioxide is easily available as the byproduct of burning coal or oil, but using that CO2 as the feedstock for artificial gas only postpones the moment when it gets into the atmosphere by a few days or weeks. If you want a truly carbon-neutral fuel, then the carbon dioxide you use must come straight from the air. Prototype machines have been built (by Klaus Lackner of Columbia University and David Keith of the University of Calgary) that can extract CO2 from the air in industrial quantities, but the price per tonne at the moment is about $600.

That’s far too much but, as Lackner points out, the cost of any new technology plunges steeply once it goes into volume production. And, the cost of getting hydrogen from water may also drop dramatically. Daniel Nocera of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology has developed a catalyst made from cobalt and phosphorus that can split water at room temperature. Harrison is cagey about his current production cost per litre. At the proof-of-principle stage, everything costs a fortune. But, as he told the Independent in a recent interview: “You’re in a marketplace where the only way is up for the price of fossil fuel. “At some point, there will be a crossover where our fuel becomes cheaper.” David Keith sees it the same way. “You’re selling this fuel and they’re burning it, putting carbon in the air, but then you’re recapturing the same amount of carbon and selling it to them again. “That’s a business model that could conceivably take a whack at the global transportation market, which is the hardest part of the climate problem to attack.” Maybe Harrison’s process will not win the race to capture that market. Maybe the cheaper option will be to grow green algae in waste

water or salt water, crush it to extract the oil from it, then refine the oil into gas, diesel and so on. (Exxon-Mobil is currently spending about $100 million a year to develop that process.) But one way or another, the petrol we put in our vehicles in 25 years’ time will probably not come out of the ground. An entire industry employing millions of people, the national budgets of entire countries and much of the military planning by the world’s great powers all rest on the assumption this will never happen. Of course it will. The pressure to cut greenhouse-gas emissions will grow as the temperature rises — and the desire for energy independence will only get stronger as oil prices rise. Back in the 1890s, it was still unclear whether the new horseless carriages would ultimately be powered mainly by gas, steam or electricity. But, it was already clear to those with any understanding of the interactions between markets and technology that the day of the horseand-buggy was over — and the smart money was already getting out of buggy whips.

PACKING HEAT

Katarina Osadchuk and the men’s and women’s TRU WolfPack volleyball teams are back in action this weekend. Andrew Snucins/TRU

By Marty Hastings STAFF REPORTER

sports@kamloopsthisweek.com

HE TRU WOLFPACK men’s and women’s volleyball teams had very different results after the 2011-2012 Canada West campaign was in the books, but both programs would like to end up in the same place this time around — the Canada West postseason. Both teams open their seasons at the Tournament Capital Centre on Friday, Oct. 26, against the UBCOkanagan Heat. The women get underway at 6 p.m., with the men to follow at 7:45 p.m. For the first time in

franchise history, head coach Keith Lundgren and the WolfPack women made the playoffs last season, while for only the second time in his seven-year tenure as the men’s coach, Pat Hennelly was unable to lead his team past the regular season. “It left a bad taste in our mouths,” said Hennelly, whose team finished 3-17, last in the Canada West men’s ranks. “I don’t think anyone wants to be last place again.” For Lundgren, a second-straight berth in the playoffs would be a real accomplishment considering the number of young players on his roster. “We’re girls playing

against women,” said Lundgren, who’s entering his third season as the Pack’s bench boss. “We’ll get back [to the playoffs], I’m just not sure when. “The goal is to get to a national championship. This is Day 1.” Katarina Osadchuk, a 6-foot-3 middle from Brisbane, Australia, is the only returning player who logged meaningful minutes last season. She is looking forward to finding out how the new recruits react to regular-season competition. “It’s always nice to have fresh, young talent,” said Osadchuk, whose team finished 9-11 last season. “We’ve got new fire,

new fight and new competitiveness.” But, will it be enough to get them back to the post-season? There were supposed to be several veterans returning to the fold, but outside hitters Brianne Rauch, from Kimberley, and Morgan Kolasa, from Calgary, are out indefinitely with injuries. Carly Nelson, an outside hitter from Victoria, is a secondyear player, but she did not often see the floor as a rookie. The WolfPack men were not likely as bad as there record indicated last season, as they lost all six fifth-set matches they played. Among TRU’s key returnees is Brad

Gunter, a 6-foot-5 rightside from Courtenay who has an 11-foot-6 vertical reach. “It’s internationalcalibre,” Hennelly said. “And, he is starting to get his man strength.” It showed last weekend, when he sprung for 19 kills against the host UBC Thunderbirds in Vancouver at the Thunderball tournament, which TRU won. The matches on Saturday will give both coaches an idea where their teams stand at this early junction. “Friday night is going to be a great experience, just to feel the intensity and the anticipation leading up to it,” Lundgren said.

The Kamloops Blazers are aiming for a sellout as they return to Interior Saving Centre to host the Brandon Wheat Kings. As of 3 p.m. on Tuesday, Oct. 23, the Blazers had sold 3,590 tickets to the Friday, Oct. 26, game against Brandon. Puck-drop is 7 p.m. If ISC is sold out that night, breast-cancer research will be the winner as Blazer coowner Mark Recchi has pledged to donate $1,000 to the cause, while Blazers Cole Cheveldave, Dylan Willick and Colin Smith will chip in $100 each. In addition, as part of the fourth annual Kamloops Safeway Breast Cancer Night and Jersey Auction, the club will donate $1 for every fan at the game if the contest is sold out. Capacity at ISC is 5,464. The last time ISC sold out for a Blazer game on a non-rain check night was Jan. 26, 2007, when Kamloops beat Vancouver 2-1 in a shootout. On Friday, the Blazers will be wearing special-edition jerseys now up for auction, with bidding ending at 9 p.m. on Friday. Proceeds will be donated to the Canadian Breast Cancer Foundation (CBCF).

PRICES AS LOW AS THEY CAN GO!

Since beginning this endeavour four years ago, the Blazers have helped raise more than $30,000 for the CBCF. For more information on the game, the auction and the plethora of other activities that will take place at ISC, visit blazerhockey.com. The Blue and Orange is returning home following a five-game road trip to Alberta in which it went undefeated, rattling of five straight wins. Kamloops has a nation-best record of 12-0-0-1 and is the No. 1-ranked major-junior team in Canada, while four Blazers — JC Lipon (32 points), Colin Smith (28), Tim Bozon (21) and Brendan Ranford (21 points) — are ranked among the Western Hockey League’s top five scorers. In addition, Smith is the latest WHL player of the week, while Lipon garnered WHL and Canadian Hockey League player-of-theweek honours in the two weeks before Smith’s accolades.

Bosher commits to Denver University Jeremy Bosher of Kamloops, one of Canadaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s best young field-lacrosse players, has committed to play for the University of Denver starting in the fall of 2014. A NorKam secondary student, Bosher has been a member of the Calgary-based ELEV8 Elite program for three years. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is a very exciting time for Jeremy, his family and the ELEV8 Program,â&#x20AC;? ELEV8

president Geoff Snider said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We are proud of the choice he has made as a student-athlete and we are looking forward to watching his career further develop with ELEV8 over the next two years. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He is a natural leader on and off the field and will be an influential cog in helping Denver obtain an NCAA Championship.â&#x20AC;?

Keeping ﬁt through the winter

S THE WEATHER COOLS and mornings and evenings get darker, it becomes more and more tempting to curl up on the couch and hibernate. It takes tenacity to exercise consistently through the shoulder season. Last weekend, I saw a lot of tenacious people when I was out mountain biking above Batchelor Heights. Everyone was bundled up and taking advantage of trails that are still perfectly dry. The secret is clothing. Having the proper clothes to keep from getting too cold or sweating too hard under layers that don’t breathe is the answer to enjoying the cooler fall temperatures. Of course, there is always a risk of rain or storms, so carrying an extra layer in your pocket can make the difference. Last week, we went for a ride and got hit by a localized storm, complete with thunder,

SHAWN WENGER Fitness For MORTALS lightning and freezing cold rain, surrounded on all sides by blue sky. It wasn’t comfortable but, by keeping moving and having toques under our helmets and gloves, long underwear and wool socks, we made it home and into the shower without incident. Once snow becomes the norm, getting outside gets easier, especially if you’re a skier or snowshoer. Precipitation in winter doesn’t usually get you quite as wet. I’m hearing a lot of people lately who are getting excited about going out to play in the snow. I’m resisting. But, I guess I’d better stop it and get my snow tires on. I can’t ignore

it forever. Let’s face it: Not everyone likes to exercise outside. Some like to be able to wear warm-weather gear all year round. The gym is a warmweather environment where we can cycle, run, swim, row, walk, strength-train or take a class without having to layer up or worry about getting caught in a storm or slipping on the ice. I’m seeing numbers increase in the gym as the fall weather settles in and transitions toward winter. It was pretty quiet during our extended summer, but I guess it was asking too much for that to continue forever. The strategies to regular exercise remain the same. Schedule it into your life like any other important appointment. Get enough sleep and nutritious food to maintain optimal energy. Reduce or learn to process stress more effectively. Learn to say no once in a while. It’s easy to take on

too much and sacrifice self-care. Call a friend. Set up a social exercise session. Whether you’re inside or out, you’ll get a chance to catch up and push each other through a workout you might not do alone. Or, maybe you just need some quiet time away from everyone to ski or run with your own thoughts for company or some good music to keep you motivated. It’s not always easy to fit exercise into a busy schedule on a regular basis, but once it’s there and you start feeling the benefits, it’s easier to keep going. As the seasons change, try something new. It might be just the ticket. Shawn Wenger is a BCRPA-registered personal trainer and weight-training and group-fitness instructor.

The undead walk among us again By Andrea Klassen STAFF REPORTER andrea@kamloopsthisweek.com

HORDE OF SHAMBLING, GROANING, BRAIN-HUNGRY ZOMBIES IS SET TO SWEEP THROUGH DOWNTOWN KAMLOOPS ON SATURDAY AFTERNOON. But, don’t start stockpiling on canned goods and ammo or making apocalypse survival plans just yet. These particular zombies are just looking for a bit of fun. Started seven years ago, the Kamloops Zombie Walk has only two rules: Come in costume and don’t break character. “Everyone has to be a zombie,” said organizer Bonnie McLean. “It has to have the right look. We’ve all got to commit to being zombies here. It’s not just a little parade.” The walk is open to anyone and begins at 2 p.m. on Saturday, Oct. 27, outside Pandora’s Costume Box, 753 Victoria St. Past walks have attracted about 50 undead participants, often sporting impressive getups. “There was a mother and daughter team and the mother was a bride and her daughter was a bridesmaid. They were all bloodied up and horrible and the daughter held her train the whole time,” McLean said. X See WATCH FOR B4

Watch for some stylin’ zombies to shufﬂe by you X From B1

“It was really cute.” Between the howls and moans and staggering, the walk is also a chance for zombie aficionados to chat about their love of the living dead — swapping makeup tips to create the best gaping wounds or discussing the best zombie flicks and books. “I don’t really know these people, but I do know them because they’re there every year and we’ll say hi and you get to see their new, fabulous costumes,” said McLean. “You show up and, all of a sudden, there are all these other people who’ve been working just as hard as you and are just as creative and passionate and interested in zombies.”

Tuesday, Nov. 6th from 2-9 PM

Tickets $10 $8 Redeemable towards your cosmetics and fragrance purchase during the event and $2 going towards “Look Good, Feel Better!” Helping Women with Cancer.

Zombies roam through downtown Kamloops — and they’ll rise from the dead again on Saturday, Oct. 27, for the annual Zombie Walk. KTW file photo

For the most part, McLean said, Kamloopsians react pretty well to finding themselves in the path of a swarm of the undead. “Most people just think it’s hilarious and

they get their camera phones out and they take pictures and they’re laughing,” she said. “But, some people get really upset. I think they’re actually scared.” Those who aren’t so pleased about the

FAITH

Common barriers to belief

UANE LITFIN, president emeritus of Wheaton College in Illinois, wrote that “the gospel’s inherent power does not fluctuate with the strengths or weaknesses of its messengers.” In the gospels, Jesus was God’s power incarnate, the pillar of strength even while on Earth. The challenges he faced, even from his religious contemporaries, did not weaken his resolve at all to fulfil the will of God. The apostle John related the story in chapter five of his gospel, when a cripple was healed by Jesus from his disease of 38 years. Yet, before doing the instant miracle, Jesus asked him a strange question: Do you want to be healed?

NARAYAN MITRA You Gotta Have FAITH It is easy for physical weakness, mental depression, a sense of hopelessness and despair to take away our willingness to do anything in such circumstances. The cripple did not understand how Jesus could help him but, when Jesus spoke to him, he obeyed and was healed. He had overcome one barrier to belief. Later, he had not bargained on religious prejudices of the Jews watching him.

At times, religious people create serious barriers to belief for would-be disciples. In the story, the Jews had become legalistic about observing Sabbath. The law was the Sabbath must be different from other days. The Jewish ecclesiastical leaders were not content with broad principles. They set out 39 classifications of work. John gave two reasons for the growing hostility of religious bodies towards Jesus: • Because, though Jesus kept Sabbath in principle, he ignored the petty rules and regulations imposed by the church of his day. • Because Jesus claimed to be equal with God. When the Bible said God rested on the seventh day, it meant He

rested from one form of activity — creation — and continued in other activities. It did not mean that, from that moment, He ceased to be active in the affairs of men. “My Father is working still and I am working,” Jesus said. To the Jews, these words made Jesus a blasphemer who was claiming to be equal with God and therefore deserving of death. The real question is whether Jesus had a right to say such things. We must be willing to obey the truth when we discover it; and we must be ready to distinguish between religious prejudice and religious principles. If we do not, we shall find ourselves diverted from truth or even be hostile to it. narayanmitra @hotmail.com

This is Your Bible “Surely the Lord God will do nothing, but He reveals His secret unto His servants the prophets.” Amos 3:7. Throughout the ages of old God proclaimed His purpose to prophets who then told His people God’s plans for them. This pattern is still the way God works. All God’s plans for the earth and for us are recorded for us to read and contemplate! According to the Bible... Oct 28 ... God Will Judge the Nations at Jesus’ Return” Nov 18 ...Jesus Will Bring Peace to the Middle East” Dec 2 ...God Will Set Up His Kingdom on Earth” Dec 16 ...

TRAVEL

The undead lurk in Victoria By Margaret Deefholts SPECIAL TO KTW travelwriterstales.com

ENDRILS OF FOG CURL AROUND LAMPPOSTS AS I MAKE MY WAY ALONG GOVERNMENT STREET. Hunched against a spiteful wind, the phrase “It was a dark and stormy night” is a nagging refrain that keeps time with my hurrying feet. At the Visitors’ Centre in Victoria, John Adams, host of Ghostly Walks, is ready to take a group of us through what is widely believed to be “the most haunted city in British Columbia.” Adams shows us how to discover the energy field that surrounds our physical bodies — unseen but, like the spirit world, nonetheless a reality. Then, our breaths rising wraith-like on the chill air, he points across the harbour where, for a moment, the mist clears, to allow us a glimpse of a white building with black turrets. “It’s the old Gatsby Mansion,” Adams says, “and it has a gory past.” The boutique hotel’s ghosts may or may not still hang around, but a couple in his audience exchange uneasy glances — they’re staying there. Adams makes a sweeping gesture to encompass the entire area. “Never mind that particular building,” he says. “There are ghosts everywhere in Victoria.” Long before the Gold Rush days that turned Victoria into a city thronged with prospectors and merchants, the Songhees and the Esquimalt Indian bands lived and died here. Their bones were interred in cairns, or hung in caskets from trees but, when the white settlers arrived, with scant regard for the age-old Indian beliefs, they cleared away the

bones and disposed of them in the waters around Victoria. “And,” says Adams, pausing dramatically, “their energy is still here, embedded in the earth around us. “So, beware! “Tonight, you may suddenly feel a hand on your shoulder, yet when you turn, there’s nobody there!” A nervous titter runs through the crowd. We follow Adams to the lawns of the Empress Hotel, where, as it turns out, I once occupied a haunted floor in the tower, but (darn it!) never bumped into the old lady who walks the floor at the dead of night or the phantom of Francis Rattenbury, the murdered architect of the Empress and Victoria’s Parliament buildings. An eccentric couple, Charles and Leah Rogers, original owners of Rogers Chocolates on Government Street, died in the 1920s, but haven’t quite left the building. Neither has their even weirder, suicidal son, Freddie. As we huddle against the chill, lights, blurred and mysterious, glow through the metal grilled bay windows and a trick of mist throws the fleeting outline of a figure

against one of them. Our next halt is in front of a pub, The Bard and the Banker. Legend has it the ghost who looks out of the window of an upstairs room is none other than Robert Service, whose poem The Cremation of Sam McGee is familiar to most of us. Service lived in the then-bank building for a while before moving to the Yukon and had a traumatic experience while looking at the pavement below his window — one which he said would haunt him

till his dying day. And, possibly into the hereafter, too, since he still re-visits the upper window of the building. From here, we enter into one of the creepiest areas in the Victoria downtown area — Helmcken Alley and Bastion Square. Macabre. Blood-soaked tales abound here and, standing at the back window of the very haunted Camille’s Restaurant, my camera captures a couple having dinner. Are they real or are they actually the ghosts

of Brady and Charlotte (aka “Lady Churchill”) who dined here regularly, before Brady came to a violent end? Is it mist curling against the window or a plume of Brady’s cigar smoke, the smell of which reputedly still lingers in the building? The Marine Building at Bastion Square stands on the site of the old Victoria jail, courthouse and gallows. The dead don’t rest easy at this spot. Staff in the Marine Building know beyond a doubt the place is monstrously haunted. The towering figure of Judge Matthew Begbie, known as the hanging judge, walks the staircase, while mysterious groans and the clanking of convicts’ leg chains have been heard in empty corridors on certain floors of the building. Tonight, standing in a clearing behind the Marine Building, where convicted murderers once swung at the end of a rope, it is easy to imagine the sharp crack of a neck bone as a body falls into a pit below the gallows, and the collective intake of breath by a ghoulishly appreciative audience. As we disperse, I hurry back to the Magnolia Hotel, head down. Pedestrians, like shadowy shape-shifters, pass silently by me

and skeletal-branched trees, wind-whipped, writhe against an orange Halloween moon.

term research initiative — and project organizers are hoping to add at least 1,000 Kamloops-area residents. Invitations have been sent to almost 19,000 area households, encouraging residents to join the study online at bcgenerationsproject. ca. Project organizers will also be at Sahali Centre Mall between Oct. 29 and Nov. 17 to collect additional measurements from participants who request an assessment-centre appointment. Bone density, body mass and blood-pressure measurements will be taken and shared with participants.

Blazers coming to diabetes expo The 2012 Diabetes and Health Expo, sponsored by the Canadian Diabetes Association, will take place in Kamloops on Saturday, Nov. 3, from 10 a.m. to 3:30 p.m., at Kamloops Alliance Church, 233 Fortune Dr. (at the north end of Overlanders Bridge). The building is accessible and free parking is available. The expo is a free event, but donations will be accepted. In addition to the three keynote speakers, there will be an on-site trade show featuring

more than 20 health-oriented organizations. Lunches prepared by Nature’s Fare will be available for purchase — or, visitors may bring their own. From noon to 1 p.m., current Kamloops Blazer Jordan DePape and former Blazer Ajay Baines, both type 1 diabetics, will be available to mix and mingle to discuss the health challenges all diabetics, including athletes, face. Pre-registration is recommended by calling 1-888-628-9494.

Help optometrists help others Optometrists Mario Pozza, Lindsay Williston and Tyler Lowey of Kamloops Family Vision Clinic have joined the World Sight Day Challenge during October to help give the gift of vision to people in developing countries and underserved communities. On World Sight Day

(Oct. 11), the three doctors donated their exam fees to help the more than 600 million people in the world who are blind or vision-impaired simply because they do not have access to an eye exam or glasses. The optometrists at the clinic are also inviting their patients to make a donation

throughout October, either at the clinic, 613 Lansdowne St., or online at givingsight. org. Optometry Giving Sight guarantees 85 per cent of all funds raised by optometrists and their patients go directly to supporting programs that give sight to those most in need.

Heartburn Reflux By Dr. Chakib Hammoud, M.H.,PhD. The USDA now recommends to eat 50% alkaline food (vegetables, legumes, salads, fruit). Health professionals suggest 80% alkaline food. Unfortunately, North American people eat 90% acidic food (meat, pasta, rice, bread, pastries, sweets, junk food). If you cannot change your diet to USDA’s 50% or closer to 80% alkaline food, consider to supplement with a natural health product that helps to increase your pH alkaline level close to a healthy #7. Ask for Bell Acidic Stomach/Alkaline Balance #39. It’s inexpensive, has no side effects and may eliminate the need for anti-acid pills many people take. As a bonus, an alkaline balanced body prevents many illnesses. See guarantee printed on box. Reflux gave me a sore throat and I could not sing in the church choir anymore. After taking Bell #39 I have no more reflux and rejoice in singing again. Helene Giroux, 65, Quebec, QC Have family history of heartburn. For last 10 years I suffered a lot with acid reflux. I told all family members about #39 being all natural, giving quick relief and having no side effects. Michael Fasheh, #39 49, Port Ranch, CA Very happy with acid reflux relief. Last 4 years had increasing reflux despite taking anti-acid products. I am also trying to eat more alkaline food. Grzegorz Smirnow, 43, Mt. Prospect, IL

Dissolve yeast and sugar in the one-quarter cup of water. Set in a warm place for 10 minutes, until frothy. In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a dough hook, combine milk, water, butter and salt, followed by the yeast mixture. Add flour and knead until dough comes together. Turn to medium-high speed and knead eight8 minutes more. Place dough in a buttered bowl and set, covered, in a warm place to rise until doubled; about 90 minutes. Punch down, divide dough in half, and form into loaves. Place each in a buttered loaf pan, cover, and let rise until doubled. Brush tops with yolk. Bake at 350 F for 50 minutes. Turn out onto a wire rack to cool.

As it turns out, I’ve come at very nearly, but not quite, the right time. I’ve arrived on cooking day. And, as I walk across the yard and into the market, a cloud of capsaicin vapour grabs me around the throat. The owner smiles apologetically. “Gonna be a good batch,” he says in a choke-y voice. “Did you miss the first one?” “I guess I did,” I say, managing one syllable at a time. “Twelve-hundred bottles, gone. Come back tomorrow if you can.” And so, with the nape of my shirt tugged up around my mouth and nose, I pick up a wire basket and begin to shop. There’s a reason this is my favourite place for produce. Not only does it sell regional fruit and vegetbales in a constantly changing assortment. It also makes its own butter chicken, which needs nothing but a bed of basmati rice or naan. In addition to supper for tonight, I

By tomorrow, the pepper sauce should be ready. For now, though, I return to my car a great deal richer than when I arrived. I leave and turn towards home, where fresh-from-the-oven loaves of my grandmother’s Mennonite milk bread will be just the thing to go with the jam.

AH, GO FLY A KITE! Don Bouffard, a professional geo-scientist and expert kite flyer, recently volunteered his time and knowledge at the Big Little Science Centre to help teach kids about kites and flight. Showing an interest is the subject of kites was six-year-old Samuel Seqnitz, who attended the day’s event. All that was needed was a little wind, and the demonstration would be airborne. Meanwhile, the centre is looking for volunteers with handyman skills or ideas for displays that would be appealing to visitors. The centre needs volunteers with skills in carpentry, woodworking, metalworking, plastic fabrication, painting, etc. Email gord@blscs.org for more information.

SCORPIO - Oct 24/Nov 22 Scorpio, fun times are ahead as you plan a special retreat. Enjoy this abundance of peace and quiet while you can because reality hits quickly. SAGITTARIUS - Nov 23/Dec 21 Keep conversations light and airy for the next few days, Sagittarius. This way you avoid any confrontations and get the most things done that you can. CAPRICORN - Dec 22/Jan 20 Family issues take precedence over other matters, Capricorn.You may have to buckle down for a few days and alleviate some things on the home front before moving on. AQUARIUS - Jan 21/Feb 18 Aquarius, take a few moments to think things over before you act. Reacting too quickly could cause issues that aren’t so quickly remedied. Scorpio lends guidance. PISCES - Feb 19/Mar 20 Pisces, sometimes it’s not so easy to say you are sorry. That’s just what you may have to do for a friend who feels wronged.

VIRGO - Aug 24/Sept 22 Virgo, you want to get involved with something, but others might feel like you’re stepping on their toes in the process. Give space where space is needed. LIBRA - Sept 23/Oct 23 Don’t be so quick to offer an opinion, Libra.You may not have all of the facts and could upset things if you weigh in at this moment in time. It could be time to check the ﬁnances.

‘Like’ KFR’s new ﬁre-safety house A new fire-safety house on its way to Kamloops will be more effective than ever before in teaching kids about fire safety. “The new fire-safety house is fun,” said Kamloops Fire Rescue Capt. Sheldon Guertin, life-safety educator for the department. “This new house is a bouncy house, so we know kids are going to love it. “The house itself is 675 square feet, with fire-safety messages on the walls, and will allow us to teach kids how they can be fire-smart at home.” The old fire-safety house, previously used by Kamloops Fire Rescue, served its purpose but, because of the weight of the unit, wasn’t as easy to bring to community events and schools and has now been taken off the road. “We can now bring in this new fire-safety house to many more

venues and it’s our goal to reach more kids than even before with our messages on safety,” Guertin said. Donations for the house and trailer to tow the unit came from community organizations and businesses and McDonald’s of Kamloops has joined the effort to help take the donations over the top. “We have a Facebook ‘like’ campaign starting up with McDonald’s,” Guertin said. For every new ‘like’ registered on the facebook.com/ KamloopsFireRescue page, McDonald’s will donate $1, up to $1,000, toward the new fire-safety house. “Not only will we raise the needed donations for the house, but we’ll have 1,000 new people that will receive our messages on fire safety to share with their friends and families,” Guertin said.

Non-proﬁt information fair at TRU In partnership with the United Way, Thompson Rivers University is hosting the inaugural Nonprofit Information Fair today (Oct. 25), from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m., at TRU’s Old Main Student Street. With $57,000 raised on campus last year, today’s event is part of

the university’s annual campaign to raise awareness of community needs and funds for the United Way. The purpose and benefits of the fair are to: • Show potential and past donors the impact investments will have in the community;

• Feature the work of non-profit organizations in which the United Way invests; • Promote volunteer opportunities to students and connect them with local resources; • Provide research faculty at TRU a networking opportunity to discuss potential research.
