In early February, Chris Austinson woke up with a tingling numbness in his left arm and went to Royal Inland Hospital’s emergency room to get checked out. The doctor there looked at Austinson’s chart and told him he was fine. It wasn’t the first time the symptoms had appeared. In 2010, Austinson was injured on the job. “About a month later, I woke up with this intense pain and numbness and tingling in my arm,” he told KTW. “I had doctors telling me it’s muscle spasms — ‘It’s in your head, you’re going to have to just tough through it.’” The symptoms eventually went away. Austinson said he felt fine until that February morning. “It happened again,” said the 41-year-old, who was otherwise in good health and employed in a physically demanding line of work. “I lost function in my left arm. I had immense pain and body spasms and all kinds of stuff going on.” But, he said, the ER doctors told him there was nothing they could do — even during subsequent visits in the month-and-a-half that followed. “I went to the ER four or five times and that whole time they were just dicking me around,” Austinson said. “I was so scared.

practitioner/family doctor] finally begged for an appointment with me with a neurologist.” Austinson said he shelled out $2,400 for an MRI at a Kamloops clinic ahead of the appointment. “I get my MRI done, show it to the neurologist and he said, ‘Yup, you’ve got a herniated C7,’” Austinson said. “He said, ‘You need surgery right away.’” Austinson’s left arm, it turned out, was in atrophy. “They told me I had 40 per cent nerve loss,” he said. “Five days later, they had me in for surgery.” Thanks to a bone wedge and a titanium plate, Austinson said, he’s now back to 100 per cent. But, he said, doctors told him he could have been permanently disabled if the injury had progressed. With that in mind — and with that $2,400 bill in hand — Austinson said he met with Dr. Dave Sanden, RIH’s chief of staff. “We went to the hospital and said we wanted to put a complaint down,” Austinson said. “We had a really long meeting with him. The gist was that he was going to write a letter of apology. “It must have got lost somehow, lost the email or something.” Attempts by KTW to contact Sanden were unsuccessful, but Austinson said the doctor told him his file should have been handled differently.

THE

R BE FACTS By Andrea Klassen STAFF REPORTER andrea@kamloopsthisweek.com

OR MONTHS, Sandi Mikuse has been poring through bylaws, but the Dallas resident isn’t looking for rules governing her home city. Since a family of coyotes in the neighbourhood was killed this past summer, Mikuse and her partner, Claudette Laffey, have been on a fact-finding mission, looking for ways to keep wildlife conflicts out of Kamloops. Now, they think it’s time for the city to take a tougher stance on residents who are bringing wildlife onto their properties with garbage, fallen fruit and other attractants. “We’ve noticed that, if we use Dallas as an example, you have a certain number of people who are very pleased to have wildlife coming through the area,” Mikuse said.

“They want to protect it. They’re very adept at co-existing with wildlife. They keep their yards clean. They don’t have garbage out.” On the flip side, Mikuse has seen neighbours fail to take those steps — then campaign to have animals destroyed when they begin hanging around the property. “That’s what has bothered me, is watching this campaign to kill these animals in this area.” After looking at bylaws in other communities, such as Whistler, and speaking to wildlife-preservation groups around the province and to Kamloops’ conservation service, Mikuse has a focus for her campaign: Get animal attractants out of Kamloops yards. That could mean doing away with curbside garbage pickup altogether, she said. In several B.C. communities she has studied, residents take their garbage to wildlife-

WHAT’S BRUIN IN KAMLOOPS • Bear sightings in Kamloops as of Nov. 6: 398 • Sightings in the same period in 2011: 497 • Fines and warnings given out for violating the city’s bear bylaw: 367 • Fines given out in the same period for 2011: 229 • Fine for setting out garbage early: $100 • Average number of bears destroyed in Kamloops per year: 5 • Highest number destroyed here in a single year: 46 in 1998

proof bins at the end of the block or to compacting sites. Others require bearproof bins. While noting there would likely be resistance to the move, Mikuse said other people she has talked to have said the change tends to work out in the long run.

“Every community that I have spoken to has stated that, while the initial cost to the city is higher, they save money in the end because costs related to garbage pickup, and conservation services having to deal with wildlife animals in the city, are greatly reduced,” she said. Under Kamloops’

current bylaws, garbage can’t be taken to the curb before 4 a.m. on the day of pickup between April and December. However, Kamloops’ Bear Aware co-ordinator Lisa Ritcey said, there are plenty of people in the city following the letter of that bylaw, but not its spirit. While she noticed many people putting their garbage out early, Ritcey also saw plenty of people storing cans in front of their house. That’s legal, city bylaw manager John Ramsey confirmed. But, both he and Ritcey pointed out it’s not all that helpful when it comes to keeping bears and other wildlife away. “Whether it’s on the curb or six feet back, it still attracts the bear,” Ritcey said. There are several other attractants that aren’t specifically covered by city bylaws. Bird feeders, compost heaps and dirty barbecues can all bring bears running as well.

“I’ve seen countless footage as well as bears three houses down start sniffing the air and they’ll walk over and, sure enough, they go for the deck.” Ritcey said. “They’re going after an empty barbecue,” While bylaw officers can ticket residents who leave fruit lying on the ground under their trees, Ramsey said there’s not much to be done — other than talking to homeowners — about those other attractant. Neither Ramsey nor Ritcey are sure more bylaws are the best way to deal with the wildlife issue. “I think there’s always a cost to that,” Ramsey said. “There’s a cost, resource-wise to the city, but there’s also how much do people want to take responsibility for their own actions and how much do they want the city involved in their lives?” Ritcey said new bylaws can raise awareness, but people may have trouble keeping

track of what is and isn’t allowed. “It’s a matter of taxpayers’ money going towards creating that bylaw and then enforcing it, or rather just trying to educate people,” she said. They do believe, however, more can be done to teach residents about dealing with wildlife. While doing school presentations this year, Ritcey said many children weren’t aware pet food, compost and bird feed can attract wildlife. “Can we do better?” Ramsay said. “I think, as a community, we can. “But, is enforcement always the answer? Maybe not.” Mikuse, for her part, hopes to speak with Kamloops city council and representatives from the provincial Ministry of Environment to see what changes can be made. “It’s happening in all the communities in North America really, but I’d like to just start with looking and Kamloops and B.C.”

WHY USE FRESHLY ROLLED OATS??? A whole Oat Groat is a self-preserving grain capsule, packed with vitamins, minerals and antioxidants. Whenever a whole grain is altered and broken open, either by rolling or milling it immediately begins oxidizing and losing its nutrition and ability to self- preserve. Most rolled oat products that are available in stores have been processed using heat or steam, dramatically reducing the nutritional values of the grain. Freshly rolled oats simply taste better, a ﬁrm texture and delicious ﬂavor makes them ideal for eating raw or cooked.

‘Gitching’ a ride across Canada Boxer-brief fundraiser will pass through Kamloops tomorrow By Tim Petruk STAFF REPORTER

tim@kamloopsthisweek.com

If everything goes according to plan, Mark McIntyre will roll into Kamloops some time tomorrow (Nov. 16) wearing nothing but underwear while sitting in the passenger seat of a stranger’s car. The 43-year-old Toronto man is not a masochist — at least that’s not why he’s embarked on a cross-country hitchhiking journey, clad in nothing but boxer briefs. It’s to raise awareness of — and funds to help fight — prostate and testicular cancer. And, you thought your moustache was manly. The campaign, called The Gitchhiker, is sponsored by underwear-maker Stanfield’s. If McIntyre makes it from coast to coast — Vancouver to Truro, N.S. — in 21 days, the skivvies company will pony up $20,000 for the Canadian Cancer Society. Having survived testicular cancer himself, McIntyre said he is motivated for the cross-country drawers drive. But, that motivation didn’t necessarily translate to intense training. “Mostly I just sat on my porch in my underwear when it was starting to get chilly in Toronto,” said

McIntyre, who works as an actor and manages The Second City comedy club. An acting job was what initially tipped McIntyre off to his cancer in 2008. He was taking part in a program pairing actors with medical students. The actors potrayed patients and the students worked on their bedside manner. “I was going in frequently just to be a body,”

McIntyre said. “On one of the last ones I had of the season, the urologist came up to me after and said, ‘I found something on your testicle.’” It wasn’t long before McIntyre went under the knife — after, of course, a “Good Bye Ball Party.” “That was kind of how I got through it, with a sense of humour,” he said.

“I’m not a sitaround-and-cry kind of guy.” While he’s never hitchhiked across Canada in boxers before, this is not McIntyre’s first time baring almost everything for a Stanfield’s stunt. In 2010, he spend 25 days holed up inside a Toronto loft on webcam — also wearing nothing but underwear. During that time, McIntyre interacted with 50,000 Canadians online in an effort to raise awareness about male cancers. So, when Stanfield’s came calling again, he was quick to jump on board. This time, McIntyre said, the journey will be interactive. People can go online to keep up with the journey and vote on dares. One possible day trip? A polar-bear swim in Saskatoon. But, McIntyre said, he has to make it there first — and hitchhiking can be dangerous enough to people who are fully clothed, let alone someone nearly naked. “We should be OK,” he said. “I’ve got a camera guy with me and we also have a van following me around, so I’ll never be on my own.” To follow McIntyre’s progress — including his brief stop in Kamloops slated for Friday, Nov. 16— go online to gitchhiker. com.

Concern over Clover cute, but does not replace cold reality UCKY CLOVER — HE’S WHITE. If he was a black bear, he’d be dead already. But, being white — well, let’s deal with facts here, he’s really sort of a cream colour — gives Clover special status in B.C. As a Kermode bear, he’s also considered a Spirit bear, so special that extraordinary measures have been taken to ensure Clover lives. Lifeforce, an ecology organization, has an online petition to free Clover. It’s a fascinating document to read, rife with inaccuracies and rhetoric designed to promote its own viewpoint. Take, for instance, this paragraph: “Just look at the horrible Kamloops jail. Zoo wardens said this bear is priceless. No doubt they are dreaming of making big money with lots of government funding to try to revive this road side zoo.” The B.C. Wildlife Park can hardly be called a jail or a zoo. The animals have massive space to roam and Clover is having his own space built. Until then, he has an area 400 feet by 400 feet — no, not the massive tundra of the north, but hardly a jail cell. The site continues: “If they keep this bear hostage, they will get government funds to build a new tourism attraction and to conduct unnecessary experiments.” ‘Nuff said on that, unless laughter at the idea of experiments at the park is considered a comment. Clover was captured twice, once after his mom was killed.

DALE BASS Street

LEVEL Lifeforce founder Peter Hamilton is upset about Clover’s move to Kamloops, writing a very public letter to Premier Christy Clark, demanding the bear be freed. Hamilton has declared captivity of animals psychologically and socially damaging to them. I’m sure Hamilton believes that to be true — heck, someone called me a week or so ago to complain about the horrible captivity Clover is now enduring and asking I write a column demanding the bear be released. According to a 2006 posting online at animaladvocates.com, marking the 25th anniversary of the Lifeforce Foundation, Hamilton, a former artist and musician, created Lifeforce because he felt more public awareness was needed of “the interrelationship of human, animal and environmental problems . . . in order to save [the] planet.” Caring alone, however, does not make one an expert. Lifeforce supporters have also said Clover was released, in

another attempt to rehabilitate him to the wild, within miles of a populated camp. The reality is the opposite. The Northern Lights Wildlife Shelter that was dealing with the cub put a tracking collar on him and let him go in an area it believed had no people in it. The shelter staff didn’t know an archeological dig would start up in the area and Clover would stumble upon it. What it did know is that, for three months, Clover didn’t try to get close to humans and then, on Oct. 13, he lost his tracking collar in an area that housed the dig staff. Within a week, he was hanging around that area and, because of his genetic fluke that gives him special status, he was captured and the decision made to find him a home. Conservation officers have said to release Clover into the wild again is to sign his death warrant. The rehabilitation experts at Norther Lights have said Clover will continue to seek out humans, as he managed to do after being left in a wide space of barren wilderness, able to find that one camp of humans and their food and garbage. I tend to believe them more than well-intentioned and well-meaning people who long for that perfect world where bears never run into humans — and vice versa — and we all live in happiness and harmony. Too bad that’s not reality. dale@kamloopsthisweek.com kamloopsstreetlevel.tumblr.com

On Sunday, Nov. 11, many of us gathered around cenotaphs and in city squares for solemn ceremonies paying tribute to Canada’s service men and women. We heard words like “sacrifice” and “honour” — some of them uttered by politicians. But, for some veterans, those words continue to ring hollow. In 2006, Parliament unanimously passed the New Veterans Charter that changed the way injured soldiers are compensated. Instead of a lifetime pension, indexed to inflation, veterans injured after that year, or who had their injury diagnosed since then, would get a lump-sump settlement. Veterans Affairs champions the new system as “a more complete approach to helping our men and women injured in the line of duty,” offering them “real hope.” However, some injured veterans say otherwise. They say Canadian soldiers injured in Afghanistan, and those suffering the lingering mental and emotional effects of their tour, are getting substantially less support than they would have received with the former indexed pension. A study by Queen’s University last year concluded most disabled soldiers will receive only two-thirds the compensation under the New Veterans Charter than they would have received under the old act. Recently, Canada’s auditor-general criticized the Canadian Forces and Veterans Affairs for their shoddy treatment of injured veterans, saying the system to get them help is “complex, lengthy and challenging to navigate.” Even in death, the indignities continue. A program that is supposed to contribute just over $3,600 to the funeral costs for destitute ex-soldiers has rejected more than two-thirds of funding requests since 2006. Even when approved, that money is still less than some social-services departments will pay toward the burial of the homeless. It’s one thing for Canada’s politicians to honour our veterans. It’s another to treat them with honour.

Why not Canadian tankers? Editor: Signs carried by those protesting the proposed Northern Gateway pipeline project proclaim, ‘Keep tankers off our oceans!’ How do these protesters think oil gets to Canada, the U.S. and many other countries? Via the ocean — that’s how we get our oil. Transported from Venezuela, Saudi Arabia, Iran ,etc. by old tankers in disrepair, lining up to off-load in our harbours. Just take note of the harbours in Vancouver, Prince Rupert and Seattle and the number of tankers registered in other countries just waiting to offload. Why not have up-todate Canadian tankers do the job? We do need oil tankers and pipelines to fuel our economy, create jobs, propel transportation and feed us heat. Just be reasonable and think of how we would survive without oil. Why not use Canadian tankers and Canadian pipelines, instead of being held hostage by foreign oil and tankers. Lloyd Williams Kamloops

Wireless water meters are available Editor: I read in the paper that Kamloops Coun. Donovan Cavers has put forward a motion to financially help residents pay the $1,000 fee the city charges for installing a wireless radio-frequency water meter — also known as a smart meter — outside of a home instead of inside, where there is no fee. Cavers said the city should offer residents a payment plan of $250 per month for four months, rather than require a lump-sum payment of $1,000, which most people cannot afford and are unwilling to pay to begin with. Cavers said he has received complaints from homeowners who don’t want smart meters inside their homes, due to health issues and other concerns about wireless technology. For some reason, Cavers did not mention there is a much cheaper — and safer — option residents can choose, and that is to have a wired analog water meter installed instead. The city charges $100 a year to read these meters and the fee is payable in quarterly instalments of $25. This is the option I chose when I called city hall to refuse consent to allow a smart water meter to be installed in my home or in a pit on my property. I had to specifically ask for this option as it was not offered, but it is there for anybody who asks. Having to pay $100 instead of $1,000 is reason enough to go with the analog water-meter option — and, that’s not counting other, priceless benefits. People need to be informed of all their options so they can make informed choices. Bob Taylor Kamloops

Editor: The oil industry has been ripping us off for years. Every long weekend, the price of gas goes up a few cents a litre. Often, it goes up enough that some of us cannot afford to travel as we wish to. Perhaps it’s our turn. Maybe it would be a good idea for Premier Christy Clark to make a deal for Alberta to supply British Columbia’s oil-products needs, at a price

based on oil at 10 to 15 per cent less than the world price per barrel. When I used to check gas prices, Alberta was, for the most part, 10 to 15 cents per litre cheaper then here. This would put the money directly into our pockets without it going through the grubby hands of any politician. Just a thought, though I know it won’t happen. Sydney Davies Kamloops

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

Andrea Klassen/KTW

Credit – Is the financial institution confident that you will pay them back? Credit is the evaluation of your habits when it comes to borrowing. If you have never taken out a loan or used a credit card, you may be surprised to find out you have no credit rating at all! A credit check reports your credit history and provides a numerical score based on your habits of borrowing and repaying debt (0 to 900, 900 is best). Collateral – Will the real estate purchase offer suitable collateral to the lender? In the event of a default, the lender will sell your collateral to recoup their loan plus foreclosure expenses. So, lenders will do their homework to ensure the property is in good condition with good resale value. They may not always agree with your purchase price. In some cases, lenders will require an appraisal. Character – What kind of impression do you make? Character is your reputation and reliability. The bank may not have had prior dealings with you, so how do they determine your character? The lender will often look at your: •Assets/ Debt/ Net worth – How have you spent your earnings? What do you have to show for it? •Educational background and work experience *People with a transient job history or address history are seen as less reliable than someone who has been in a home or job for 20 years.* For more information about qualifying for a mortgage or if you have questions about your specific situation, please call 250 682 6077 or e-mail steve.bucher@migroup.ca or check out my website at www.mortgagebuilder.ca Today’s Mortgage Matters is brought to you by Steve Bucher.

Tk’emlups welcomes new band council By Andrea Klassen STAFF REPORTER andrea@kamloopsthisweek.com

The new Tk’emlups Indian Band council will have just under a month to get settled before the band launches into negotiations it hopes will significantly increase the size of its land base. At a swearing-in ceremony for the new council on Tuesday, Nov. 13, returning Chief Shane, Gottfriedson urged TIB members to attend the band’s first negotiations with the provincial and

federal government on its Douglas Reserve land claim, set for Dec. 4. In 2009, the band filed a claim in B.C. Supreme Court that would see the reserve extend 12 kilometres north of the confluence of the North and South Thompson Rivers and 24 kilometres east. The band argues the larger land base was granted to it in 1862 on a directive from B.C. Governor James Douglas, but was reduced a few years later without TIB approval. Gottfriedson said the first meeting will likely focus on the

process for the negotiations, rather than the specific arguments. Gottfriedson, who was re-elected for a fourth term as chief on Nov. 10, said the Douglas Reserve claim will be the No. 1 priority for the new council. “And, No. 2 is our day scholars class-action suit and No. 3 is reconciliation, settling and creating all these different relationships with other levels of government, whether it’s provincial, federal, other First Nations,” he said.

‘He admitted they dropped the ball’ X From A1

“He admitted that,” Austinson said. “He said, ‘We dropped the ball.’ “Basically, one doctor saw that I came in before and saw this other doctor diagnosed me and he didn’t want to go back on it. “I don’t know if it’s a brotherhood thing or laziness or whatever, but he admitted they dropped the ball.” Austinson thought that admission would mean reimbursement for the private MRI. “That was my understanding,” he said. “He [Sanden] said they should have caught it the first time I came in.” But, according to the Interior Health Authority’s regional director of diagnosticimaging services, that is not the case. Zeno Cescon told KTW anyone who pays for a private treatment or procedure — no matter the circumstances — forfeits their right to have the cost covered by IHA. “I can’t speak to the patient’s situation, but if they choose to have an MRI at a private clinic, there is no reimbursement of that procedure from the health authority,” he said. Cescon said there is no appeal process in place for a patient to state their case for reimbursement to the authority, either. “It’s black and white,” he said. “It’s unfortunate for this patient and we feel for this patient. “But, unfortunately, there’s nothing that can be done.” Kamloops-North

Thompson Liberal MLA Terry Lake said his office has been made aware of the file and will do what it can to help Austinson receive payment from the province. There is a medicalservices plan appeal process through the provincial Ministry of Health. “I’ve done this before with constituents, where we make an appeal for something to be covered by MSP,” Lake said. “In some cases they are and in some cases they aren’t. “It comes down to how they’re

Some of the best honey in British Columbia was ready to be judged during the weekendâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s delicious portion of the annual general meetings of the B.C. Honey Producersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Association, held in Kamloops. Outgoing president Stan Reist handed the Presidentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Award for exceptional service to Pauline Thompson, Gerry McKee and Ed Perzson. Distinguished service to the industry recognized the long-term contributions of Campbell Jones, while Mike Ambach was presented with a lifetime membership. Wayne Neidig was acclaimed president and incumbents Thompson and McKee were returned for another term. The 2013 conference will be held in October in Kelowna. Dave Eagles/KTW

Jail and Bail fundraiser today By Tim Petruk tim@kamloopsthisweek.com

Dozens of high-profile Tournament Capital residents will be locked up today (Nov. 15) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; but it has nothing to do with crimes. Kamloops Mounties and the local branch of the United Way are teaming up for the second annual Jail and Bail fundraiser. RCMP Supt. Yves Lacasse said he expects 85 community leaders to be locked up in temporary cells at the Tournament Capital Centre. They will be held until they can make bail â&#x20AC;&#x201D; in this case, a minimum $500 donation to the United Way. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is an extremely

exciting time for us here at the detachment and the United Way,â&#x20AC;? Lacasse said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is money that is really needed in our community.â&#x20AC;? Among those taken into custody will be KTW reporter and columnist Dale Bass. And, it wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be the venerable journalistâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s first time in the clink. Bass took part in last yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s event, raising $500. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I agreed to do it this year because the United Way is an agency I have supported since moving here â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and because I like to be able to do something with the police that doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t involve them complaining about a column I wrote,â&#x20AC;? she said.

Lacasse said he hopes to see the 85 jailbirds raise $75,000 â&#x20AC;&#x201D; money that will go a long way in the community. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have to go very far, we donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have to go outside of Kamloops, to find people who really do need our help,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;On a personal level, this is probably the most rewarding thing Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve done in my career.â&#x20AC;? The United Way has set up three phone lines â&#x20AC;&#x201D; 250-319-4789, 250-319-1278 and 250318-8410 â&#x20AC;&#x201D; for those looking to contribute.

Venture Kamloops takes aim at more doctors By Andrea Klassen STAFF REPORTER andrea@kamloopsthisweek.com

Venture Kamloops is hoping to see new doctors at its doors asking about job opportunities in the city. KTW file photo

deli and specialty meats

Venture Kamloops is hoping a new campaign will convince more doctors to take a chance on Kamloops. “Kamloops is competing not only throughout the province for physicians, but we’re seeing it globally,” said Venture Kamloops interim executive director Anita Grover. “They have the choice to go anywhere.” As part of a doctorrecruitment strategy, the organization has launched a new medical-professionals section on its website, venturekamloops.com. Venture Kamloops is also running a series of online ads targeted specifically at doctors, pushing them towards the site. Grover said the goal is to give doctors more information about life in

the city, whether they’re already considering a move to the Tournament Capital or just shopping around. Grover said schools, outdoor recreation opportunities and population all play a role when physicians look at relocating. “When they make their decisions they’re looking at the lifestyle options for them and their families and that’s one large element that we’ve added to our website,” she said. “Kamloops has a great advantage, having areas such as Sun Peaks and the lakes and hiking trails so close in proximity.” The site also contains information about immigration, health services in the community and the housing market, as well as testimonials from doctors who moved here. About 800 people

have visited the new section of the site in its first two weeks of life, Grover said, and 85 per cent of those visitors have never logged onto the Venture Kamloops page before. “We’re quite excited about that, to see we’re

educating a whole different group of individuals that may have not thought about Kamloops,” she said. It’s difficult to pinpoint the exact number of doctors needed in the city, though Grover said she’s heard one physi-

cian estimate that about 20 more general practitioners are required. Even that number doesn’t take into account vacant specialty positions, she said, which would include physiotherapists and ultrasound technicians.

Lake bandit eyes cabins residence prior to police arriving at the scene, but no one was injured. A woman was also in the home at the time of the shooting. In addition to the arrest, police said they also seized a firearm from the home. As of Monday, Nov. 12, the suspect was being held in custody pending the results of a police investigation.

A dozen years ago, there was the Bushman of the Shuswap. Today, police in Logan Lake might have an Iceman of Lac Le Jeune on their hands — and, given what has been stolen, he might be in disguise. In a four-day span last week, Mounties received reports of four break-ins at cabins in the area — three in Lac Le Jeune and one at Walloper Lake. Missing are a bear-skin rug, a large costume chest and an outboard motor, among other items. Logan Lake RCMP Cpl. Kathleen Thein said there’s no pattern to the burglaries. “Unfortunately, every year at this time, this type of thing will happen,” she said, noting the cabins are used seasonally and sit empty most of the winter. “Fortunately, noth-

POLICE BEAT ing of high value was stolen.” Thein said the burglaries are believed to have taken place between Nov. 4 and Nov. 9. Since then, Mounties in the area have increased patrols in hopes of catching the thief — or thieves. “We’re not sure if it was just a one-hit wonder, somebody passing through, or if it’s somebody in the area,” Thein said. “We do regular patrols and we have a very good relationship with the community groups in the area.” Thein said police are working closely with neighbourhood watch groups and residents have been told to keep an eye out for anything suspicious. Anyone with information can call Logan Lake RCMP at 250523-6222 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800222-8477.

A Remembrance Day to forget in Dallas It was a Remembrance Day to forget for a Kamloops man who spent Nov. 11 in a jail cell after allegedly firing a gun at a home in Dallas. Kamloops RCMP were called to a home on Kipp Road just after 9:30 p.m. on Sunday, Nov. 11, after a report of a shooting. One man was taken into custody. Investigators believe a gun was fired from within the

New committee prepares to act Pamela Lee

Ruby Hrycenko

STAFF REPORTER dale@kamloopsthisweek.com

A committee that will start the work that could see a new performing-arts centre in Kamloops should be complete by the end of the week. Mayor Peter Milobar said he expects the group that will be tasked with the project will include about six people. Several have been approached and a preliminary meeting was held last week “to get a sense of what we could potentially be looking at,” Milobar said. There is no timeline or even an idea of what a centre could entail, although a report done several years ago will serve as a beginning point of reference. “I was on the arts commission as the city’s rep at the time,” Milobar said, “and I thought the consultant

did a good job.” The vision then was “more than just a theatre box, but something that would have multi-purpose space to keep the activity there day in and day out.” The committee will be asked to determine what acts and shows the city is missing out on because of the lack of facilities. Sagebrush Theatre is the largest facility in the city that can handle such events but, because of that, “it is fully programmed. To get a show in there, you need to book a year or a year-and-a-half in advance now,” Milobar said. Public support will also be needed, he said. Milobar expects the committee will meet every three to four weeks for the first several months as it gathers information and reviews data that has been collected through the years.

describe the impact the program had on them and changes they’ve made at home as a result. “We really hope that Kamloops will help this project get to the next level in the competition, where we could win $10,000,” said Cheryl Kabloona, chair of the Kamloops BCSEA chapter. The Climate Change Showdown not only teaches children about ways to reduce their carbon footprint, but involves their families in changing habits for the better. As Bloom points out in the video, adults might already know what they should be doing, but a push from the children is often what it takes to translate good intentions into action. Simple things like doing laundry with cold water, turning the heat down at night or while out and arranging carpools to get kids to school have a huge impact on reducing the carbon footprint.

GLOBAL VIEWS

Sheer silliness in the stars In the universe, we are, alas, as common as dirt

N THIS INTERVAL OF blessed tranquillity between the titanic struggle to choose the next president of the “world’s greatest nation” (same guy as last time) and the world-shaking choice of the next leader of the Middle Kingdom (Xi Jinping, but it’s still officially secret for a few more days), a delicious moment of sheer silliness. The British Broadcasting Corporation has banned a science program because it might trigger an interstellar invasion. They would not normally ban a program made by Brian Cox. He is a jewel in the BBC’s crown — a particle physicist with rock-star appeal. He played in two semi-professional bands and, in the right light, he looks like a younger Steven Tyler who can also communicate with ordinary human beings. The BBC forbade Cox from making the episode of Stargazing Live, in which he planned to send a message to the aliens. Cox wanted to point the Jodrell Bank radio telescope at a recently discovered planet circling another star, in the hope of making contact with an alien civilization. BBC executives refused to let him do it on the grounds that, since no one knew what might happen, it could be in breach of health and safety guidelines. Cox, a serious scientist, knew exactly what would happen — nothing. Even if there are hostile aliens out there, space is so vast that light from the nearest star, travelling at 300,000 kilometres per second, takes four years to reach us. He was just doing his bit in the centuries-long scientific campaign to convince people they are not at the centre of everything. BBC suits, who do think they are at the centre of everything, weren’t having any of that. If there are aliens out there, and they find out we are here, their first reaction will prob-

GWYNNE DYER World WATCH ably be to come here and eat our children. And, then the BBC will get blamed for it. Sorry, Brian. Drop the radio telescope and step away from it slowly. The suits richly deserve the derision that has come their way but, if there really is life elsewhere, and even perhaps intelligent life, then we aren’t at the centre of anything any more. We are, as Douglas Adams once put it in The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy, “far out in the uncharted backwaters of the unfashionable end of the western spiral arm of the Galaxy.” We used to believe the whole universe literally revolved around us. Then came Copernicus. But, we went on believing we are very special. We look like other animals, but we are so special that we don’t cease to exist when we die. We give the universe meaning just by being alive. A bit at a time, however, science has been destroying all of our traditional ideas about our own centrality. And, here comes another blow. In a universe with trillions of stars, it was always less presumptuous to assume we are not unique than to insist we are. However, just 20 years ago, there was no evidence to show that other stars actually do have planets, let alone that some of those planets harbour life. We now know of the exis-

tence of some 800 exoplanets — and the number is doubling every year or so. Most of these planets are gas giants like Jupiter or Saturn, not at all like Earth, simply because the giants are easier to detect. But, what we have really been looking for are planets like our own. We know life thrives here. Astronomers at the European Southern Observatory in Chile have now found such a planet. It is called HD 40307g and it orbits a small orange-coloured sun 42 light years from here. The planet is rocky, like Earth, and it orbits its star at a distance from which the temperature allows water to exist as a liquid. It is certainly a candidate for life. In the past decade, we have learned that most stars have planets and that they typically have lots of them. The HD 40307 star has six planets orbiting at different distances, at least one of which (HD40307g) is in the “Goldilocks” zone. There are between 200-billion and 400-billion stars in our home galaxy, the Milky Way, and probably at least as many planets. If only one in 100 of those planets harbours life, which is likely to be an underestimate, then there are two-billion living planets. We are not unique and special. We are as common as dirt. Douglas Adams also wrote: “If life is going to exist in a Universe of this size, then the one thing it cannot afford to have is a sense of proportion.” But, we are gradually acquiring exactly that — and it doesn’t really hurt. It is possible to be aware of your own cosmic insignificance and still love your children, even though they are without significance, too.

NICK WASLENCHUK

1927~2012

Dec. 19th, 1923 – Nov. 8th, 2012

Dora Ella Maisonneuve passed away peacefully at 85 years of age on the 6th of November, 2012.

Nick Waslenchuk passed away, peacefully in his sleep, after 88 years of a life filled with adventure. Born in Roxton SK, at 19 years old Nick was an RCAF officer who served his country with Bomber Command flying over Germany and occupied Europe. He survived 30 night bombing missions, 3 train wrecks with CN Rail, a car incident resulting in a broken neck and being struck by lightning. He considered himself a lucky man. He was predeceased by his wife of 62 years, Minnie Ellen (Mickey) in 2008. Dad is survived by his loving family, sons Ross (Brenda) Kamloops and Dennis (Lorraine) New London, Conn. Also left to cherish his memory are grandson Brent of Kamloops, granddaughters Tracy Cheshire (Dan) and Nikki Watt of Langley BC, sister Vicki Garrett of Penticton BC, brother Bill of Victoria BC, numerous relatives and friends across Canada. Nick left Alberta for BC in 1958 to purchase the Monte Creek Chevron, and made many good friends over the years. He loved the outdoors, splitting wood and spending many hours camping & fishing on his favorite lakes. He enjoyed golf and going on adventures. He was very interested in learning about the world around him, and was always asking questions. He read newspapers faithfully, often passing along information that he had come across on little notes to family & friends. Nick was a man of honor and dedicated to community service. He spent many years with the Lions Club earning their highest awards, Air Force Association, Royal Canadian Legion, WarBirds and the Elks Lodge. At Dad’s request, there will be a Celebration of Life in the spring. Special thanks to Dr. R. Paul Ferrell, Dr. Avanessian & staff at RIH and Ponderosa Lodge. A heartfelt thanks to all those friends who spent time with Dad, he loved seeing each and every one of you. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the Kamloops Hospice Association, 72 Whiteshield Crescent S. Kamloops V2E 2S9. Cremation arrangements in care of Schoenings Funeral Service.

She will be lovingly remembered by her husband Allister Maisonneuve, children Lynne, Bob (Lisa) and grandchildren Sean, Andrea, Kimberly, Lauren, Randi and Reid. Dora was born in Rockhaven, Saskatchewan on January 19, 1927. She met Allister and they were married in Prince George in 1953. She had chosen a career in nursing and graduated from school in Saskatoon in 1948 but after having her ﬁrst child Dora and Allister decided that she would stay home to raise her family. Dora was an exceptional mother to her children and enjoyed gardening and baking. She was a loving wife, mother, grandmother and beautiful friend. We will miss her dearly. The family would like to thank the staff at Ponderosa and the Ridgeview Lodge for there kindness and compassion. A service for Dora will be held in the spring. Should friends so desire, donations in lieu of ﬂowers may be made to the Heart & Stroke Foundation. Arrangements entrusted to Alternatives Funeral & Cremation Services 250-554-2324

Don was predeceased by his father, Richard George Martin, grandparents George and Flora Martin and Katherine and Anthony Masich. Don was wonderful partner and father. Many happy times were spent exploring new places, trying different activities, developing our spirituality, and simply being together. As a caring son, he valued his mother’s involvement with Lillian and Richard. Because of his unique character, Don touched so many people’s lives in his own way. His love and laughter will always be remembered and cherished. Much gratitude to Dr. Doug Hamilton for his kindness and compassion over the years. We would also like to express our heartfelt thanks to the many friends and family for their unconditional love and support during this difﬁcult time. Should friends desire, donations may be made to Ask Wellness Centre. A memorial service will be held on Nov. 17, 2012 at 10:00 am at Calvary Community Church.

LOCAL VIEWS

Cyber-bullying is the most insidious of all

ITH THE explosion of electronic gadgetry in the last few years, combined with a number of different ways to use it, teens and youths are connected through cyberspace at all hours of the day and night. The bully that once lay in wait for victims in the schoolyard or on the trek home can now ply their cowardly tactics in secrecy and anonymity. Instead of an audience of a dozen or so, young people can find themselves humiliated in front of hundreds, thousand — or more. Cyber-bullying is much more difficult to deal with. Up to one-third of teens surveyed participated in cyber-bullying — teens who would never consider bullying in person. Cyber-bullying means using computers, cellphones and other technology to hurt, scare or embarrass other people. It can get people in serious trouble at school and also with the law. According to the

experts, here are a few tips to help you with your teen: • Create and talk about the consequences you will impose if your child cyber-bullies: At the very least, insist your child takes responsibility with an apology and amends, loss of technology privileges and research on the harm done by cyberbullies. • Have clear rules for using technology: Ensure they know the expectation to treat others with respect continues with online communication, as well as in person. Like any other privilege, your child’s access to the Internet should be subject to their ability to use it safely and well. In order to protect their child or others, most parents would have no difficulty removing the car from a teen’s use for a period of time — and cellphones and computers should be treated the same.

• Make sure you talk to your older children and teens about the harm cyber bullying can do. Find out what they already know and if it has ever happened to them or someone they know. If they receive a bullying or demeaning message or post, do not delete it and encourage your teen to show it to you. • Teach them to be careful about the use of personal information when online: Do not allow your children to post personal information or photos in an online friend’s community, chat group or anywhere else. • Provide support if a child is cyber-bullied and teach them how to speak up about any they know about. If your child is the victim of cyber-bullying, you can take action to correct the problem with school authorities, your Internet provider, mobile-phone company, the social-media com-

pany and, if necessary, the police. • Remain aware and involved with what your child is doing when online: Chances are, you have or continue to pay for the Internet account, the cellphone they use and the texts they send. That, in addition to the fact you are legally responsible for them, gives you the right and the duty to check in and check up on the things they do that have potential harmful consequences — and this includes cyber space. None of these steps are possible unless you develop a close and trusting relationship with your teen. It may seem contradictory to build trust while at the same time sticking your nose into their online activities, yet that can actually build trust if it is done appropriately and sensitively. Nothing that is worthwhile is ever easy — and neither is this. At the CMHA’s teen clubhouse, we have a bank of computers for teens to use and the balance between supervising their activities and giving them privacy is a

delicate one. Yet this is a noble, worthwhile struggle because the powerful

good of the Internet age has powerful dangers as well. Until next time, keep

Clark says ads aren’t self-promoting Meanwhile, premier says looking at legalizing marijuana will distract from her jobs program By Andrea Klassen STAFF REPORTER andrea@kamloopsthisweek.com

TIME FOR SOME HEAVY READING Joanne Carriere stocks up on some books at the annual Barb’s Used Book Sale, a fundraiser for the Kamloops Symphony Orchestra. The sale continues at Sahali Mall until Nov. 24. George Wycherley/KTW

A pair of legalization votes in the U.S. and the support of a Kamloops MLA aren’t enough to get Premier Christy Clark into the marijuana debate. In Kamloops for outgoing Kamloops South Thompson MLA Kevin Krueger’s retirement dinner, Clark said getting involved in pot policy is a distraction her government doesn’t have time for. Krueger himself has become a fan of legalizing marijuana. This summer, he told media the plant should be made legal and taxed, with revenue going to related social and health-care programs. Clark said it’s up to Ottawa to set policy and the B.C. government has no plans to weigh in.

“People can have their opinions about it, that’s great. “They should be making their opinions known to the federal government, because it’s the feds’ jurisdiction to make a decision about that,” she said. Clark added dealing with the issue of legalizing marijuana could cause the provincial government to “lose focus” on its jobs plan. Clark also defended a $15-million ad campaign which has drawn fire from local B.C. NDP candidate Kathy Kendall.

Kendall has called the ads partisan and accused the governing B.C. Liberals of selfpromotion and poor prioritization. Clark said the ads, which include 90-second television spots heavily featuring the premier are a key part of her promise to get citizens more engaged with the government. “We want British Columbians to know what’s going on in the economy, but more importantly we want to reach out to them and seek their ideas,” Clark said.

“And, that’s what they’re doing. We ask everybody to go visit our website and have a real conversation about what we can do to keep growing our economy.” Clark said the argument the ads are self-promoting is an oversimplification of the issues. “I’m sure the NDP would like nothing better than for the government to disengage from citizens, because I think that might serve their political agenda,” she said. “But, frankly, we’ve gotta govern.”

Blazers look to regroup on seven-game homestand

Sun Peaks set to open Tim Bozon of the Kamloops Blazers said line-juggling might be imminent if all four units can’t return to form. Allen Douglas/KTW

By Marty Hastings STAFF REPORTER

sports@kamloopsthisweek.com

OR THE LINE of Colin Smith, JC Lipon and Tim Bozon, as B.B. King most famously sung — the thrill is gone. At least for now. In the Kamloops Blazers’ last six WHL games, five of them losses, the onceunstoppable unit has combined for just seven points and is minus-6. “If we don’t find a solution, they might split the line and go with two different lines. I don’t know yet. It’s up to the coach,” said Bozon, the

league’s fifth-leading scorer, with 14 goals and 32 points. “We had a meeting because [Blazer head coach Guy Charron] had a lot of journalists and a lot of people asking him, ‘Why don’t we split the lines?’ “He doesn’t want to because he still believes in us.” Charron has every reason to give the line a long leash. If the casual fan glanced at the list of the league’s top scorers not knowing what has transpired in the last six games, separating the threesome might seem like a madman’s idea. Lipon leads the Dub with 43 points, 17 of

against us. “Last year, we had success because we had four lines that could score goals and I still believe that the other lines can put the puck in the net.” A lack of secondary scoring makes it easy to key on the Smith line and it’s no secret Kamloops needs more from its supporting cast. The Blue and Orange will look to remedy some of its recent ailments on a seven-game homestand, which kicks off on Friday, Nov. 16, when the Portland Winterhawks come to Interior Savings Centre. Puck-drop is sched-

them goals, and Smith is just one point back of his linemate with 42 points, 15 of them goals. There is no lack of chemistry between the three — nobody can argue that. Much of the trio’s struggles of late can be attributed to a tough schedule on the road — where the opposition controls the matchups — and a lack of help from the Blazers’ other three lines. “Teams want to beat us and they play hard on us, especially against my line,” said Bozon, a Montreal Canadiens draft pick. “We play against the best D and they play a shutdown game

uled for 7 p.m. Portland has won 12 straight games and the Winterhawks have pulled to within two points of the leagueleading Blazers, who have amassed 35 points in 23 games. Prince George has a date with Kamloops at ISC on Saturday, Nov. 17. “To be back in front of fans is another motivation and now we’re looking forward to getting back to winning,” Bozon said. “We got frustrated because everything in October went well and now we’re not able to put the puck in. “Now, we have a full week of practice to get ready for Friday.”

For many River City residents, winter doesn’t really begin until opening day at Sun Peaks Resort. The wait ends on Saturday, Nov. 17, when Sun Peaks becomes the first B.C. destination resort to open for the season. “I can tell you that we will most likely have top-to-bottom skiing on Five Mile and, possibly, OSV,” said Brandi Schier, the resort’s media and marketing co-ordinator. Sun Peaks did not miss out on the snow dump that blanketed Kamloops earlier this week. “We had snow the past few days and, then, with all the colder weather that came through, we were able to really kick up our snowmaking,” Schier said.

“We’ve had crews going 24/7 for the past week or so.” Exactly which runs will be open on Saturday is not set in stone. “Every day makes a difference at this point,” Schier said. “It’s up to Mother Nature to dictate.” Sun Peaks usually opens for the winter season in the third weekend of November. “We’ve had awesome openings, where we could have opened earlier than this date, and we’ve had openings where we’ve not had top-to-bottom skiing,” Schier said. “Because we have such a heavy investment in summer grooming, we are able to open with relatively little snow, compared to other resorts.” Log on to sunpeaksresort.com for more information on lift-pass prices and all things opening day.

Wildcats’ season over The Vernon Yellow Jackets downed the Kamloops Wildcats 37-0 in peewee Southern Interior Football Conference semifinal play in Vernon on Sunday, Nov. 11. Interceptions by Denzel Marican and Jacob Graf kept the Wildcats within reach of Vernon, but the Yellow Jackets’ defensive core eventually swarmed the Wildcat offence. Nick Berry anchored the Wildcat defence with eight solo tackles, with Rorik Munson, Callum

Gorman, Cole Fink, Colby Griffiths, Gregory Griffiths and Dayton Tomlin combining for 14 more. Wildcat Quarteback Carsen Day targeted receivers Mattias Nelson and Thomas Dyck for 25 yards, while Mike MacDonald and Ben Prokopetz racked up 52 combined yards on the ground. Vernon will host either the Kelowna Lions or West Kelowna Sun Devils in the final on Sunday, Nov. 18.

SPORTS VIEWS

Penton: Shulman, Hughson the best in the biz

ALK TO 100 sports fans and ask them to name their favourite sports broadcaster and chances are you’ll get at least 50 different answers. It’s like asking people their favourite colour or favourite food. But we’re not asking — we’re telling you the best sportscasters in North America, from my vantage point on my comfy couch. Get ready to disagree. 1. Dan Shulman: The Canadian native is primarily known as the voice of ESPN’s Sunday Night Baseball. He has the most velvet of voices and is always armed with great information and interesting anecdotes. Listening to Shulman is usually better than the game itself. 2. Jim Hughson: Hockey Night in Canada’s No. 1 playby-play announcer is a major step up from the shrill-voiced Bob Cole. Hughson never gets too excited nor too dry, but broadcasts almost as if he’s carrying on a conversation with the listener. Comfortable. 3. Vin Scully: He’s in his 80s and works without a colour man and is never short of interesting and informative things to say. He has never played an inning of baseball, but might just be the best known Los Angeles Dodger. 4. Jay Onrait: OK, so this is a high ranking for a goofy guy, but if sports really is entertainment, then TSN’s sports anchor Onrait fits that bill to a T. Get the scores and get a laugh at the same time. 5. Ron MacLean: Witty, knowledgeable, great interviewer, what more can be said about the CBC’s MacLean, one of the most versatile and professional announcers around. 6. Rich Lerner: If you don’t subscribe to The Golf Channel, you might not know about Lerner, but he is the network’s best. Always the voice of calm and

BRUCE PENTON From PRESS ROW reason, he is comfortable serving as host, commentator or interviewer. 7. Jim Nantz: The CBS veteran is not only the network’s No. 1 play-by-play man on NFL football, but he is the soothing voice of the Masters. Always in control, always smart. 8. Al Michaels: Known best for “Do You Believe in Miracles? Yes!”, Michaels, who now does Sunday Night Football on NBC, always makes these lists. He’s a pro. 9. Bob Irving: OK, if you don’t live in Manitoba you may not have heard of Irving, the 37-year CJOB radio voice of the Blue Bombers but he’s a treat to listen to, and he’s a friend of mine — so there! 10. Bob Costas: He’s a walking encyclopedia and, if you’re scrolling through channels and see him interviewing a sports figure, stop, watch and listen.

Kamloops at 200: Your history In June and August, Kamloops This Week published two special editions to mark the 200th anniversary of the founding of our community. Whether you come from a family that set-

tled here a century ago or if you arrived last month, everyone has some kind of history with Kamloops. As part of KTW’s 200-year special publications, we asked readers for their history with

the city where the rivers meet. Beginning today, we present Your History, based on submissions we received. Future editions of KTW will include more Your History stories.

Falling for terriﬁc weather and small-town atmosphere It was November 1962 and we were living in Lethbridge, Alta. Rogers Pass had recently opened and my husband, Rod, was asked to open two offices — in Kamloops and Nelson — for the rental firm he worked for. We hadn’t even heard of Kamloops, but the job opportunity was worth the move. We rented a house on McGowan Avenue with our two-and-a-halfyear-old daughter, Nancy, and our six-week-old son, Craig. Two more children joined our family — Janet and Brent — and both were born at Royal Inland Hospital. It took a while to adjust to the extremely hot summers and little rain. We soon fell in love with the terrific weather, small-town atmosphere, fabulous scenery and friendly people. The population was about 20,000 and there was no Batchelor Heights, Juniper Ridge, Aberdeen, Upper Sahali, Aberdeen Mall, Thompson Rivers University or Summit Drive bypass. All traffic used Columbia Street. There were two drive-in movie theatres (North Kamloops and Valleyview), lots of apple orchards, truck farms, asparagus fields and hop farms. The Bay and Woodward’s were our department stores and both were located downtown. Most shopping was found on Victoria Street. We have purchased three homes throughout the years — Brocklehurst, Barnhartvale and our current home in Juniper Ridge, where we have lived for 28.5 years. It has been fun and interesting to watch the city grow and the population expand over the years. — Rod and Sheila Astle

Canada Games instilled love, pride in city

As a teenager, in the summer of 1966, I was living in the Merritt area, on the family’s cattle ranch. I was hired as a telephone operator by the British Columbia Telephone Company in Kamloops. My heart was in the Nicola Valley and I missed my family. Kamloops just happened to be where my job was. I really didn’t like the big city. Later, I met my future husband, bought a

home and children came along. I was too busy to notice any strong feelings for Kamloops and many years went by. The City of Kamloops had a bid in for the 1993 Canada Summer Games. The day the judges came to tour our city was very exciting and changed everything for me. I recognized a strong love and pride in Kamloops that has stayed with me to this day. Judy Haynes

There’s a sense of satisfaction when someone can cross something off their bucket list. For Jason Hewlett, there’s something much more than his item being checked off — there’s the thrill of being on a movie set. “You don’t want to be 70 and say ‘I should have done that’,” he said of his chance to fly to Montreal to be killed. Figuratively speaking, of course. Hewlett, who hosts Film Reviews from the Basement with Shawn Knippelberg on campus radio station CFBX, is in Montreal on the set of Billy Trigger. He has a bit role; he’s part of the gang that will die at the end of the movie. The Canadian film stars John

Fallon, who writes the blog Arrow in the Head (john-fallon.com), the go-to site for all things horror, Hewlett said. Fallon also wrote the script. He was one of the first people Hewlett interviewed on his show and the two have become friends. Last year, when Hewlett and Knipelberg added Darkfest to the Kamloops International Film Festival — a celebration of horror and B-movies — Fallon attended and spoke to the audience. “So, when he called, I couldn’t say no,” Hewlett said. “This is a great thrill.” The plot is basic action: Fred Williamson plays Pops, the head of an Irish gang. Billy Trigger is Pops’ No. 1 enforcer and has been entrusted with the care of Pops’ mistress.

Mr. Smith goes to the KAG Mr. Smith Goes to Washington will be shown at the Kamloops Art Gallery today (Nov. 15) at 7 p.m. The screening is part of the activities being held at the gallery to support its current exhibition, An Era of Discontent: Art as Occupation. The 1939 film stars James Stewart as the head of the Boy

Rangers, appointed to fill a U.S. Senate vacancy by corrupt politicians who hope to use him to further their own goals. The film, directed by Frank Capra, was nominated for 11 Academy Awards in 1940, winning for best original screen play. It was named as one of the

best films of 1939 by the New York Times and Film Daily and Stewart won the 1939 New York Film Critics Circle Award for Best Actor. It is suitable for all ages. Doors at the gallery, 465 Victoria St., open at 6 p.m. and the film starts at 7 p.m. Complimentary popcorn and water will be provided.

Hewlett’s ready to take a punch — and a fall X From B5

Something goes wrong and Billy’s on the run, trying to save his own life, Hewlett said. Williamson, a former NFL defensive back with the Oakland Raiders and Kansas City Chiefs, has an extensive acting career, including Starsky and Hutch and From Dusk Till Dawn. The movie also stars Matthew Bennett (Battlestar Galactica) and Pia Metni (Mirror, Mirror). Knippelberg, a musician, is writing the score for the film. Christian Viel is directing the film. He also directed Deaden, which was shown at Darkfest, along with Evil Breed: The Legend of Samhain, and the Recon series of films, as well as the FrenchCanadian television series 3 xrien. Viel is also the creator of the online comic-book web series Heroes of the North. Hewlett said his audition was pretty basic. “Can I take a fall? Can I take a punch? I said yes and I’m in.” Hewlett said the movie is expected to be

completed and ready for release sometime next year. He’ll be on the set for two days, having

left for Montreal on Wednesday, Nov. 14 and heading home on Saturday, Nov. 17. For more informa-

tion on the movie, go online to billytrigger. com, facebook.com/ BillyTrigger or twitter. com/billytrigger.

“I used to, and I emphasize used to, have sudden urges to empty my bladder. ” Dear Strauss Herb Company, My name is Dave, I am a retired Fire Fighter and I have lived in Kamloops for the past 9 years. I just had to write this letter to THANK YOU for changing my life in a very unusual way. I used to, and I emphasize used to, have sudden urges to empty my bladder. When natured called I had to make a bee line for the bathroom. Sometimes the urges would happen 10 minutes apart and sometimes they would be 30 minutes apart. There was no schedule for me. I heard about your Prostate formula and decided to give it a try. My sudden urges had completely stopped within 3 days of using the product! I have been given my bladder control back. I don’t have to rush into the house after arriving home from being out. I no longer miss parts of conversations with friends by excusing myself and rushing off to the bathroom. I could go on and on with other things I missed out on because of my sudden urges I couldn’t control. Those urges are now not a part of my lifestyle anymore. So a great big thank you from me to all the persons involved in making this product. Thank you Strauss Herb Company. Product Every Strauss action is 100% Satisf r Your Guaranteed O ded. Money Refun

SCORPIO - Oct 24/Nov 22 Scorpio, happy times are ahead, so relish every moment of the break you’re given and the memories that can be made in the next few days. Kids’ activities take precedence.

TAURUS - Apr 21/May 21 Taurus, mysterious things come into your life, and for once you don’t have the answers. Go with the ﬂow on this and you will be pleasantly surprised.

SAGITTARIUS - Nov 23/Dec 21 New factors breathe new life into a stale plan, Sagittarius. This renews your ambition and desire to make changes. Others will be supportive of your efforts.

GEMINI - May 22/Jun 21 Patience is something you lack entirely this week, Gemini. But you will make up for it in personality. Just when you think others aren’t listening to what you say, they’re all ears.

CAPRICORN - Dec 22/Jan 20 Capricorn, ﬁnancial issues can be quite a problem.You actually may have to ask someone for help until you can get back on track with your accounts.

CANCER - Jun 22/Jul 22 A few changes are in store that come as a surprise, but it’s nothing that you can’t handle, Cancer. Rethink your plan of attack later in the week, or you can fall short of your goal.

Celebrating 38 years of love — and pain

T’S MY 38TH BIRTHDAY — AND, I SUPPOSE, I COULD CRY IF I WANTED TO. Thing is, I like this age. I like it even though the calendars only flip in one direction. Even though, if my figure can be thought of as having a geography, then each snickerdoodle and cheese puff is causing a slow and intractable landslide. I like this age, even though I’d rather everything stay, for the most part, where it is now. “How many years do you have?” my grandpa Friesen would ask when his surviving children and their grandchildren came to visit. It may have been a quirk of translation, from Plautdietsch (or Low German) to English. Or, it may be that the Plautdietsch DARCIE HOSSACK words for growing older come Bon from a culture APPÉTIT that looks on aging as a gathering of years. A belief that time is gained as we live it, rather than lost as it goes by. It’s my 38th birthday and, if he could, my grandfather would ask me: “How many years do you have?” I would tell him and he would nod in that way he had and say, “Gut. Plenty room for more,” before going to the freezer and pulling out a bucket of ice cream. I was his “nice fat gurdie” and he was pleased to keep it that way, even though skinny was all I ever aspired to be. I’ve been thinking of my grandpa this month. He and I both had birthdays in November and this would be his 107th. I’ve also been thinking about how, even if given the chance, I wouldn’t ask to be young again. Not in my 20s. Certainly not in my teens. Not the age of Amanda Todd, who had only 15 years. I don’t know what right I have to write about a girl I didn’t know, except I had an

uncle I never met who also didn’t survive his bullies. He and I both grew up in generations that came before social media and mistakes that live forever. I grew up and he didn’t, but I still remember my own nicknames. I remember being punched in the schoolyard and eating lunch alone. I remember being afraid to go to school — and then not going. I remember changing schools and provinces and changing schools again. I remember gaining weight for a year and then losing 40 pounds in a month. I remember anxiety eating at my insides,

until surgeons felt it was time to go in and cut something out. I remember. Yet, I survived. I’m grateful I was able to see far enough into a future to hope for something different — and I suppose that’s why I’m telling you this now. It’s my birthday I have 38 years that no one can take. I have friends and family who love me. In the kitchen, Chefhusband, who reminds me of my grandfather, bakes flourless chocolate cupcakes that will collapse when done, leaving just enough room for ice cream.

Thing is, there’s life after bullying. It may not feel like it right now but, I promise, if you gather just a few more years, one and then another, it’s possible everything will change. “I didn’t feel old until I turned 80,” my grandpa Friesen used to say. We should all be so blessed. Darcie Hossack is a food writer and author of Mennonites Don’t Dance (Thistledown Press). For past recipes, visit nicefatgurdie.wordpress.com.

3 tbsp. unsalted butter 4 oz. semi-sweet chocolate 3 large eggs (room temperature), separated 1/4 cup packed brown sugar In a bain-marie, melt butter and chocolate together, stirring as necessary, until liquid and glossy. Remove from heat and let cool slightly. Whisk in egg yolks. In the bowl of an electric mixer, beat egg whites until soft peaks form. Add sugar, little by little, until stiff peaks form. Whisk one-quarter of the egg whites into chocolate mixture. Scrape chocolate mixture into remaining egg whites and gently fold together. Divide batter between 12 paper-lined cupcake tins. Bake at 275 F for 25 minutes, until just set in centers. Transfer tin to a wire rack to cool completely. Cooled cupcakes will collapse in the centre, making a perfect cradle for ice cream.

With holiday season upon us, it’s time to plan some sensational menus to celebrate with friends and family. But, while there’s no better feeling than getting together with loved ones, these gatherings often lead us to consume more than 4,000 extra calories.

Consider adding low- or no-calorie drinks such as sparkling water, diet drinks and small portion options — like those Coke mini-cans — for your friends and family to enjoy. • Opt for a freshfruit dessert instead of a baked one. A single slice of pumpkin pie is packed with about 350 calories.

I have a pet, and we need a home... The BC SPCA believes that if landlords were aware of the significant benefits of pet-friendly housing, they would be more inclined to offer it. One of the biggest direct advantages of offering pet-friendly housing is increased rental income, since people with pets will pay 20 to 30% more for housing. People with pets also stay longer – an average of 46 months, compared to 18 months for people without pets – saving landlords from having to spend time advertising for, finding and screening new reliable tenants.

Tips to survive the buffet • Scan the table: Take in all the delicious options available and plan what you really want to make room for on your plate. • Mini-size: Using a smaller plate not only makes a normal portion seem larger, but it’s also a great way to manage your portions and calorie intake. For beverages, opt for portion controlled sizes, such as bottled water or Coke mini-cans, for example, which are 100 calories or less per serving. • Go for colour: Make healthier food choices at the buffet by skipping the bland-coloured appetizers and instead focusing on adding a selection of colourful vegetables to your plate. • Slow down: Take your time and be mindful of what you are eating. • Move out y: To avoid overeating, move away from the food. Focus on the purpose of the party — great conversation and good times with friends. newscanada.com

Walking on the origins of the Earth By Chris McBeath SPECIAL TO KTW travelwriterstales.com

YING SOME 50 KILOMETRES OFF NEW ZEALAND’S NORTHEASTERN COAST, WHITE ISLAND IS AN INTIMATE VOLCANIC EXPERIENCE. Not the X-rated genre, but the kind where you get up close and personal with steaming schisms, vents and gaseous fumaroles that make up one of the most-accessible, active marine volcanoes in the world. Coming here is to feel the rumbling origins of Earth beneath your feet. One of New Zealand’s most-adventurous geothermal experiences, only a handful of tour companies are permitted to set foot on the island. Excursions operate out of the seaside town of Whakatane and, while they are offered yearround, departures are dependent on weather and the island’s temperament. She is, after all, an 180,000-year-old untamed part of the world that ranks an alert level rating of one, meaning she is always active and constantly steaming. Level 5 is a national disaster. Other than a Level 2 rating in 2000, when the volcano coughed up ash for a month or two — which totally altered its landscape — and a lesser eruption in 2011, White Island usually remains quiet enough to welcome visitors. The trip is accessible to almost everyone who is up for two hours of walking and sometimes clambering across rough terrain. Note, however, that if you’re arriving by boat, (helicopter being the only other option), getting onto the island itself involves a Zodiac transfer, a climb up steel ladders, a careful walk down a crumbling concrete wharf bolted together with metal sheets and maneuvering over and around large, round boulders just to get to your tour assembly point. But, once you’ve made it that far, the real

adventure begins. The Moari’s traditional name for the place is Te Puia o Whakaari, meaning The Dramatic Volcano, — named with good reason. As in Gulliver’s Land of Brobdingnag, the scale of everything here diminishes you to insignificance. Volcanic walls rise to more than 300 metres, broken only by massive areas of cliff-side space where the outer walls have been blasted out to sea. Across the crater floor of red iron oxide and lush beds of yellow and white sulphur crystals are strewn leftovers from previous eruptions — bedrocks the size of houses. And, at the island’s powerful, unpredictable heart is a turquoise lake of sulphuric acid-rich water that only drifts into sight when the wind clears the clouds of steam from the water’s surface (a sizzling 400 C) and pushes them up into the sky like some peace-pipe offering. Then, there are the hissing sulphur holes, bubbling hot-mud pools and calcified mounds that look solid enough to climb in order to get a better Kodak moment. It pays to listen to your guide’s advice and stay on the path. Those same outcrops are liable to collapse at the touch, sending you — and your camera, to the Earth’s core. You’re also equipped with a must-wear hard hat and a gas mask for

when an unexpected earth-burp envelops you with its noxious, sulphurous stench. Drinking bottled water and sucking on hardboiled candies go a long way to easing any throat irritations. In its heyday, though, before the island became a scenic preserve, the volcano was better known for its short-lived mining operations. The Moari had long harvested the island’s sulphur as a fertilizer for their gardens back on the mainland, but it took

European prospectors to try to transform those resources into a commercial venture. Purchased for two barrels of rum in the 1830s, White Island was turned into a sulphurprocessing operation. However, the acidic and harsh environmental conditions were as unforgiving on machinery as they were on people and, in spite of several attempts of various entrepreneurial diehards, every one of them failed. In 1914, when the southwest corner of the crater wall caved in, operations ceased for good. The volcanic landslide destroyed the buildings, buried 11 miners and wiped out the workforce, confirming this was truly — and still is — a noman’s land. The decaying ruins of the mining colony are still evident, however, as in collapsing stonewalls and rusted machinery, which make for sombre testimony and atmospheric photos of man’s efforts against the force of nature. While there are many places on New Zealand’s North Island to experience the country’s famous geothermal activ-

FAITH

The unveiling of the carnal

N 1 CORINTHIANS, WE HAVE A SOLEMN UNVEILING OF THE CARNAL, THE DEADLIEST FOE OF THE SPIRITUAL. Apostle Paul, in the opening verses, asks the question: Has God two standards by which He tests His children? Has He a carnal standard for carnal Christians and a spiritual standard for spiritual Christians? NARAYAN MITRA What do we mean by the carYou Gotta Have nal? FAITH Simply speaking, it’s the worldly, as divorced from the spiritual. Satan and the world assail God’s people from the outside, but the carnal is the traitor within. God has only one standard for us all. Paul opens his letter to Corinthians with God’s purpose concerning Christian believers in 1 Cor. 1:9, with regards to their calling in partnership with Christ. Paul unveils the carnal in three

spheres: The intellectual, in ethics and in religion. As to the intellectual, Paul was not opposed to intellectual life and activities. He recognized the Corinthians were a singularly gifted people and their gift sprang from the grace of God. The moment we recognize natural gifts as an expression of the grace of God, two things follow: We do not undervalue the gifts in others and are not likely to misuse them. We are inclined to attach fictitious values to natural gifts. We speak and think of them as if they were the be-all and end-all of fitness for God’s work. Our very ideals are more intellectual than spiritual. There is another form of carnality in the intellectual sphere: The refusal to believe what reason cannot demonstrate (1 Cor. 15). We cannot surrender the foundation and keep a building. This is what is being done in many directions today — the thoughtlessness with which Christian teachers fling their doubts. How often we hear: When in Rome, do as the Romans do,” or “The end justifies the means.” We can hear the hiss of the serpent

through these axioms. They are born of the carnal and ought never be heard on Christian lips. Another feature of the carnal is its susceptibility to evil environment. The carnal is always the easy prey to the latest error or to the most popular sin. Place a carnal Christian where spiritual influences surround him and where all is in his favour and he stays a decent member of the church roll. But, let him go to lands where there is no Christian influence and he quickly succumbs. As to the sphere of religion, Paul brings it out in chapters one and three and indirectly in chapter 14 – the spirit of partisanship. In some cases it was racial, in others social, doctrinal and ecclesiastical. In several cases, it centred on a form of man-worship. There was party prejudice, party feelings, shibboleths, accompanied by bitterness, strife and weakness. There will always be differences in schools of thinking, angles of vision and the type of leaders needed in our churches. But, the carnal overlooks that all Christian workers are mutually depen-

dent as one member of the body is upon another. All of them as a whole are dependent upon God. All find their unity in God alone. What about the presence of this spirit of partisanship among us today? Do we judge our brother by a badge? If we do, we are carnal. It may be a racial, social, or a denominational badge but, it is carnal — and we are carnal if we wear it. God is shifting His base of missionary operations once more these days from the carnal West to the spiritually despised East. Wherever we meet the carnal and under whatever disguise we meet it, it is the deadly foe of the spiritual in our soul. Let’s not trifle with it, give it quarter, not tolerate it, and not yield ourselves to it. narayanmitra@hotmail.com KTW welcomes submissions to its Faith page.
