WISH LEAVES NO STONE UNTURNED DALE BASS STAFF REPORTER dale@kamloopsthisweek.com

F

or local businessman Al Patel, the goal is simple. Go to Royal Inland Hospital, ask what equipment staff have on a wish list — then raise the money to buy it. He’s been doing it since 2007, when the wish was to create an education room for the new cancer-care centre at the hospital. He’s doing it again this year, raising $110,000 to pay for a lithotriptor machine — a technical title for what is, at its very essence, equipment that can help patients with larger kidney stones be treated at RIH, rather than having to go to Vancouver. Patel, owner of Scott’s Inn, follows his philanthropic goals through his Iccha Wish Fund. Iccha means wish, Patel said, explaining he chose it because “we wish people well when they are sick. Let’s look after our hospital and fill its wishes, too.” The new equipment will be used for patients with kidney stones that cannot be treated in the more-common method urologists use, inserting a viewing instrument into the urethra — the

WISHES FULFILLED Since creating the fund, RIH wishes that were filled include: • Creating a compassionate room at the new intensive-care unit for families with loved ones in critical care; • Buying warners for beds in the neonatal intensive-care unit; • Donating two heart monitors to the post-anesthetic recovery room; • Buying colonoscopy equipment to help detect colon cancer, Crohn’s disease, irritable-bowel syndrome and other dieases.

tube leading from the outside of the body to the bladder — and using a basket-like piece of equipment to retrieve the stones. Sometimes, however, the stones are just a bit too large to do that easily, so the lithotriptor is required. Surgeons insert it through the back of the patient and, using a similar telescope-like tube, find the stones and use another piece of equip-

ment and some ultrasound to break them up and remove them. Dr. Lee Jonat took part in the explanation of the equipment during a presentation this week to Patel and some of his supporters. Jonat said it’s not a piece of equipment that will be used every day but, when it’s needed, he and other urologists have it to use and don’t need to send people to Vancouver. Patel said Kamloops has always been good to him and his family. “I want to give back something to the community,” Patel explained. One of the ways he raises money —through the past seven years, the donations have added up to $350,000 — is through an annual dinner. This year, his friends and supporters will fill Colombo Lodge tonight ( March 27) for a dinner cooked up by the staff at Flavours of India restaurant. There will be an auction and entertainment as guests donate to the fund and learn what the next fundraising effort will bring to Royal Inland Hospital. “Disease doesn’t discriminate,” Patel said. “It just comes. And, 100 per cent of what we raise goes into equipment for the hospital.”

Report calls for Knutsford in Kamloops riding ANDREA KLASSEN

STAFF REPORTER

andrea@kamloopsthisweek.com

Voters in Surrey and Richmond could each have another MLA from which to choose in the next election, but a committee tasked with updating B.C.’s electoral boundaries is recommending little change in the Kamloops area. In its preliminary report released yesterday (March 26), the B.C. Electoral Boundaries Commission recommended the province make no changes to the composition of the Kamloops-North Thompson riding, represented by Terry Lake, the province’s minister of health. The riding includes Kamloops’ North Shore

and the communities of Sun Peaks, Barriere, Clearwater and Blue River. Transportation Minister Todd Stone’s riding of KamloopsSouth Thompson would be altered to include more of Knutsford, which is now part of the FraserNicola riding, within its boundaries. “This change respects the stronger ties the residents in this community have to Kamloops than to Merritt, which is much farther south,” the commission stated in its report. “The change also provides more effective representation to the community between Campbell Creek and ThompsonNicola Regional

“

This change represents the stronger ties the residents in this community have to Kamloops.

”

District Electoral Area J, approximately five kilometres south of the Kamloops municipal border.” Of the region’s ridings, Fraser-Nicola would see the most substantive change in boundaries. While Hope and other Fraser Canyon communities were moved into the Fraser Valley electoral district in 2008, the

commission is now recommending they be included in the Merritt-area riding. The commission said the change was “widely discussed” at its public meetings, but advocates for a return to Fraser-Nicola won out by arguing the district’s rural and tourism-driven communities are “more closely matched to the character” of Hope. Outside the region, the committee is recommending two new electoral districts, one in Surrey and one for the Richmond/New Westminster area. Both cities would have their electoral boundaries “substantially redrawn” to accommodate the change, the commission said.

If its recommendations are accepted by the province, the move will increase the number of MLAs to 87 from 85 in the next general

provincial election, which will be held in 2017. The commission will hold another round of public con-

sultation on the proposed changes from mid-April to late May. It must submit a final report to the legislature by Sept. 25.

LEFT OUT OF A WILL? Has your spouse or parent recently died leaving you little or nothing in his or her Will? Losing a parent or spouse can be devastating, and you may find yourself in a situation where his or her estate has left you with far less than you were expecting, or to which you may be entitled. In B.C, when a parent or spouse dies, you have a narrow window of time to challenge a Will. If a court finds that your parent or spouse hasn’t made adequate provision for you, it has the ability to change the Will. But, if you fail to bring a claim within the time limits, you will not be able to challenge the Will.

THOMPSON--NICOLA REGIONAL DISTRICT NEW Bylaw Notice & Dispute Adjudication What is the TNRD Bylaw Notice Dispute Adjudication System about?

Mail #300-465 Victoria St Kamloops, BC V2C 2A9

The new Notice Enforcement Bylaw sets out the penalties and the period for paying or disputing Bylaw Notices received for violating the provisions of the campground, building regulations, unsightly premises, dangerous dogs, zoning, solid waste, noise control and water system regulations bylaws. The bylaw also allows for a dispute adjudication system to resolve disputes in relation to issued Bylaw Notices.

When does it come in to effect? Notice Enforcement Bylaw No. 2500 comes into effect April 1, 2015.

Why is the new program being introduced?

Phone (250) 377-8673 1-877-377-8673

Proposed site Location N51°08’56.88â€? W120°08’43.21â€?

Investigators uncovered an alleged illegal gambling operation in the area on Wednesday, March 25. Bush said it’s too early to say what charges, if any, might be laid.

Email bylawenforce@tnrd.ca

The system is intended to resolve bylaw violations and notice disputes in a simple, cost-effective manner. The new Bylaw Notice Dispute Adjudication System will improve efficiencies in the area of paying and collecting fines as well as delivering a streamlined process to the public.

How will it affect me? If you receive a Bylaw Notice for violating one of the TNRD bylaws listed above, you will have 30 days to either pay the fine or dispute the Notice through the Dispute Adjudication System without having to go through the Provincial court system (which can take up to 6 months). An independent adjudicator will hear the dispute instead, possibly resolving the dispute in one month.

What are the benefits? The new system will provide the following benefits: ƒ ƒ

Simplifies and expedites the dispute processes by removing minor bylaw violations from the Provincial court system; Reduces costs associated with using the court system (lawyers and the time spent by enforcement officers waiting to testify); Includes dedicated staff members (the Screening Officers) to act as a resource to help residents dealing with bylaw tickets and the dispute process. Allows residents to dispute tickets in-person, in writing or over the phone; Provides additional flexibility to encourage bylaw compliance as opposed to a strict enforcement focused system.

LOCAL NEWS McLeod: ‘[ISIL] has declared war on Canada and the Western World’ CAM FORTEMS

STAFF REPORTER

cam@kamloopsthisweek.com

While opposition parties are calling for an end to air strikes in the Middle East, Kamloops-ThompsonCariboo Conservative MP Cathy McLeod told KTW a mission extension and expansion into Syria is necessary to stop ISIL. Depending on the length of debate in Parliament this week, McLeod was prepared to be called upon to speak in support of a Conservative government motion to extend the military mission against Islamic State by a year and to allow air strikes into Syria. “I’m going to talk about the threat ISIL poses, not just what it presents locally, but it has declared war on Canada and the Western world,” McLeod said. “It’s important we degrade their ability to do that.” However, local can-

didates for the New Democrat and Liberal parties said Canada risks getting pulled deeper into a conflict in which the winner could be Syrian dictator Bashir Al-Assad. “This mission does not have a well-defined objective or a well-defined exit strategy and we know that military planners tell us both are essential if missions are to succeed,” New Democrat candidate Bill Sundhu said in a statement. Both the NDP and the Liberals spoke out against the mission to send CF-18s to Iraq, along with Canadian military training for Iraqi troops on the ground. Liberal candidate Steve Powrie said Canada can assist through humanitarian aid and by training Iraqi troops. “So far, we’ve had little information about what we’ve done on our mission and now they [Conservatives] want an extension.”

Powrie said Western countries have a poor record of success in that part of the world, citing Libya and Iraq as examples. “Islamic State is like a noxious weed: It thrives in territory that’s disrupted. Everywhere we’ve gone in, that’s where ISIL is.” McLeod said bombings by military aircraft from Canada, United States, Holland, France, Great Britain and Australia have stopped ISIL from controlling a larger portion of Iraq and Syria. ISIL is now coalescing into Syria, where it is not subject to Western military air strikes. The NDP has warned doing so will strengthen the hand of Assad. “It’s a supporter of terrorism and a brutal regime,” McLeod acknowledged. The MP added, however, Western countries cannot allow ISIL to hide behind the Syrian border.

Columbia contract up for bids Bidding is now open for the contract for the city’s second major roadworks project of 2015. A tender to widen Columbia street between Second and Sixth avenues went up on Wednesday, March 25. It will close on the afternoon of April 10. The city is borrowing more than $2 million for the project, which has an estimated price tag of $3.8 mil-

lion, with the remainder of funds coming from the city’s regular infrastructure-improvement budgets. The project will widen the road to make room for left-turn bays and raised traffic medians. More traffic signals will be added to the stretch and an existing left turn at Second Avenue will be blocked off. Work on the project is slated to run through the summer and wrap up in the early fall.

THE HOT AND NOT OF THE WEEK

Kamloops This Week looks at the stories of the week — the good, the bad and all in-between:

HOT: The debate surrounding Canada’s role in fighting the ISIL terrorists in Iraq and Syria. The current debate about whether Canada should expand its role and start bombing ISIL targets in Syria has the Conservatives defending the idea and the NDP and Liberals arguing such a move will bolster Syrian dictator Bashir Al-Assad’s power base. The odd part of this entire debate is that it took murderous zealots like ISIL to make a madman like Assad look benign by comparison. NOT: Premier Christy Clark’s long-delayed explanation as to why respected former B.C. Liberal MLA George Abbott had his appointment as chief commissioner to the B.C. Treat Commission revoked. Abbott was all but in the chair — having been recruited by cabinet minister John Rustad and endorsed by the federal government and the First Nations Summit — when, suddenly, he was told he did not have provincial cabinet support. Clark said this week the situation was handled poorly, but maintained there was no personal vendetta against Abbott. Rather, Clark said, she has decided to not proceed because her government wants to reform the entire treaty process. Hmmm . . .

HOT: The outpouring of accolades and memories following the death this week of Dr. Gur Singh. The retired neurosurgeon was 78 when he succumbed to the ravages of Lou Gehrig’s disease and, as those who knew him have mentioned, Singh was a titan in this community, one who did as much as anybody else in raising money for, and awareness of, extremely worthwhile charity causes.

WMD found in Kamloops

I

am sure it has happened often, but the first time I really noticed was during the Christmas season of 2012 while I was washing my hands in the washroom of a nice restaurant in Kamloops. I had just completed a No. 1 and had my hands under hot water, thick with soapy lather, as I prepared to return to my lunch-hour table. In the nearby stall, where my olfactory system confirmed to me a gentleman was obviously finishing a No. 2, came the familiar sounds of the home stretch — the creak of the toilet seat as the weight is released, the tearing of toilet paper and the swoosh of the toilet flushing. A few seconds later came the clickety-clack of the stall door unlocking, at which time I was drying my hands, making room at the sink for the only other guy in the washroom. Zoom! He didn’t need the sink with its hot water and its soap and its nicely stacked think paper towels. Nope. He went from No. 2 to his table in a flash — and I lost my appetite. I followed him out (making sure I used a forest’s worth of paper towels to open the bathroom door) and saw him rejoin a table of about eight. He sat down, smiled, started talking and spied the big plate of nachos in the middle. I wanted to scream, to warn his workmates to flee from those hands — but I took my woozy stomach back to my table and ordered the lightest thing on the menu. Yes, I encountered a WMD (Weapon of Mass Disease) that day. Interestingly, my second experience with a WMD hap-

MUSINGS pened just last week at a pub I like to visit now and then. It was the same scenario and again I didn’t have the heart to warn his tablemate to avoid ordering share plates. Yes, it is gross and I apologize if you are eating as you read this, but it is also a serious issue. Why anybody would engage in a dump-and-run is beyond me, but it highlights a broader problem, which is the arcane design of many washrooms in Kamloops. This is why the powersthat-be at Thompson Rivers University deserve kudos if they follow through with plans to address campus washroom concerns both environmental and health-related. You might have seen KTW reporter Dale Bass’s story this week, about plans to replace paper towels in TRU washrooms with electric hand dryers and, most importantly, to either add a foot-opening option to washroom doors or do away with doors completely. I like the latter idea as its use has been successful at the Tournament Capital Centre

and Interior Savings Centre. A quick right and left and privacy is achieved — without having to don hazmat suits to turn doorknobs of preceding dump-anddashers. Publicity of the university’s foray into cleaning up the most private of rooms will, hopefully, spur others — fast-food joints in particular — into cleansing its restroom situation. Far too many have replaced paper towels with electric dryers, yet still have doorknobs that must be turned, thereby rendering useless the aforementioned wash-and-dry cycle when we all know those doorknobs are home to the remains of too many dump-and-runners. There’s a good reason health authorities routinely conduct handwashing audits in hospitals as they know very well that poor handwashing practices can and do spread diseases that literally contribute to killing people. It is a sad comment on society that we share this planet with people who dare to wipe without washing — and there is precious little we can do, beyond a public shaming. But, restaurants can do something to help those of us who do prefer to wash up after using the bathroom. Get rid of doors, add a footopening option or, at the very least, stack some paper towels next to that environmentally friendly dryer so we are not forced to shake hands indirectly, with the various Weapons of Mass Disease creating havoc across the city. editor@kamloopsthisweek.com Twitter: @ChrisJFoulds

ore than 70 years ago, a little girl watched and worried as salmon fry circled and darted in dwindling pools and irrigation ditches at the end of the aging summer. There was no escape for the coho raised in Tranquille Creek as water slowly evaporated and receded, drying up the channels. “The pools would get smaller and smaller,� recalled Joan Best, who grew up a few metres from the creek at Tranquille, where her father was groundskeeper. “We used to put them [fry] in our red wagon and put them back into the lake.� Long before the sanitarium’s farming practices drew water from Tranquille Creek, placer miners waded, dug and shovelled in

the creek that drains Bonaparte Plateau. Years of abuse by humans, including poor forestry practices resulting in higher peak flows during in spring freshet, brought sediment and channelization at the mouth of the creek where it drains into the east end of Kamloops Lake. In September of 2011, people walking dogs along the lake in late summer at Cooney Bay noticed the creek ran dry, what was left of the tepid runoff draining weakly into the gravel bed. That corresponded with a run of pink salmon.

A weather system that brought rainfall to the plateau above alleviated the problem enough to restore a small flow to the lake for the critical period. But, once again, the creek gave notice its fisheries habitat was degrading even further. This month, members of Kamloops Fish & Game Club did their part — like the little girl in the late 1930s — to improve salmon survival in the creek. “In August, it’s probably this wide and this deep,� said club member Sandy McDonald, indicating a channel a few feet wide and a few

Club members and school children have been busy in March, planting willow and cottonwood cuttings to stabilize stream banks. The work comes after a Department of Fisheries and Oceans effort this past winter to engineer a solution to the historic problem on the lower creek. An excavator placed logs in the creek, an

BOOGIE THE BRIDGE

Training Talk

RUNNING COMMENTARY with Jo Berry

Rain or shine, we have a great time This is the time of year when the weather is all over the place. One day it’s sunny. One day it’s rainy. One day it’s windy. One day it’s calm. That’s springtime in Kamloops. At Boogie training, we always hear how people love the group energy. It makes running easier. Running in a group (or with a friend) makes running fun and guarantees getting a workout regardless of the weather. Even on the rainiest days, when you meet your running group or a friend it makes the experience worthwhile. On Friday mornings I run with my pal Karen. Karen is also a RUNClub coach and a very strong runner. We commit to each other every Friday and I look forward to this day each and every week. When we run together we talk, wonder, laugh and listen. We have run thousands of kilometres side by side over the last five years and that’s a lot of conversation. I don’t know if there’s a topic we haven’t taken up and I always feel great after our runs. On Sundays and Tuesdays we meet as a big group at the Boogie training sessions. These days are filled with laughter and community. Our mantra is: The hardest part of RUNClub is — drumroll — getting there. This is the truth but, once you get there you never regret going and the energy you feel is addictive. Rain or shine, we always have a great time. The friendships we build on the road are like no other and, with time, this spills into a friendship with running itself. The friendship with running is deep, generous and potent. When we are tired, running gives us energy. When we are lonely, running gives us community. When we are lost, running gives us direction. When we are anxious, running gives us peace. When we are ungrateful, running gives us friendship. Is it any wonder, with all these types of friendships, we show up in all kinds of weather? On Boogie day it might be sunny or rainy. But, no matter what, we will Boogie together as a community of friends and have the time of our lives.

Last Sunday, running along the Airport dyke with Run Club felt pretty good, until cycle number five. The sunny day and good company helped disguise the Run Club workout and my body didn’t notice I was walking and running without stopping. When we hit the fifth repeat cycle, my legs felt like lead and my feet wanted to slow down. I wish I could say I powered up and ran even faster. However, the truth is I concentrated on just finishing. Plodding along at a far slower pace than I started — I finished. Looking around at my fellow runners, I saw I wasn’t alone in my huffing and puffing which made me feel better. Everyone does their best — whatever that is. After the run there was a tailgate party at the dyke, complete with treats and laughs. There are very few people in my run group who I know, although you don’t stay strangers long with such a friendly group. And then there are people from years past in the other run groups to get re-acquainted with and catch up. The next homework was in Peterson Creek with my labradoodle, Buddy, to test my skills. He provides humour as he leaps in delight and runs circles around me. Spring is all around us as we run and walk. This week doesn’t seem as painful for my feet and legs. What’s next I wonder?

Planning is complete, playwork is scheduled and David Thompson elementary will increase intervals to walk two minutes/ run two, six times. This allows students to move for 24 minutes, or about three kilometres. Ms. Jensen will lead us through a dynamic group warm-up and static cool down. Mr. Marchese is ready to motivate the runners by setting the pace. Ms. Brennan has inspired us to finish with the yoga corpse pose — savasana. If you take a glance out to the playing fields, the main ingredient is missing — the kids. It’s spring break and school is not in session so we have no students to train. Don’t worry, like every good teacher, I assigned homework for students to complete during spring break. If Jo can send Run Clubbers home with weekly homework, why can’t I? On the other hand, when I tell students about their homework, they don’t grumble. Instead, they get excited and plan running dates with classmates and even ask for extra sessions. When does a teacher tell her students not to do extra homework?! I know that this is one time I do not have to check to be sure homework has been completed and students will be ready to start week three training when they return to school next week.

The third week of Boogie training with the 10-kilometre group was great. After the Sunday morning Run Club on the airport dyke, there was a tailgate party with time to catch up with other members. There have been some changes in my life because of running, one of them being the amount of energy I have. Run Club is more than physical wellbeing. You are also transformed mentally and I have found I am more positive and happier. There is no such thing as a bad run, either. You may not perform as well as you did on past runs, but the endorphin rush I get on the second or third interval is the best drug ever. Ever have a bad day at work? A run changes everything. You don’t have to buy exercise equipment, go on a diet or get a trainer to get back in shape — just get outside and run. I wish I would have known it years ago. Everyone can do it too, despite body size or age. Jo Berry and her team give incredible support. It’s a mere sacrifice at one hour, three times a week. Registration for the CFJC TV Boogie The Bridge is taking place now. Sign up individually or with a team, run or walk. It’s a great way to bond with family and get fresh air and exercise together.

hree sisters on a line, dad’s the coach and mom is the manager. It’s the juicy, standout storyline when it comes to the Kamloops Vibe — and it’s a good one. The only problem is the whole team is like one big family, so singling out the Smiths isn’t quite fair to the rest of the crew. “If any one of them gets offmark with you — they’re all offmark with you,” said Gerry Smith, the Vibe’s head coach, father to Gaylene, Rochelle and Melinda, and husband to Colleen. “They’ve all been elite hockey players for a long time and they’ve grown up together. As a group, they’re really close, like family.” The 2014-2015 senior A Vibe rolled through the South Coast Female Amateur Hockey League (SCFAHL), finishing atop the standings with a record of 22-1-5. Kamloops, which outscored opponents 102-16 in the regular season, is gunning for its fifth-consecutive B.C. crown this weekend at the single A provincial championship in Richmond. Single A is the highest level of women’s hockey in the province, outside of university hockey, according to Gerry. “What brings us together is we all love hockey,” captain Desiree Blair told KTW at practice on Tuesday, March 26, the team’s last tune-up before provincials. “We’ve all stuck together. That’s what’s hopefully going to win us another provincial championship.” Always strong offensively, improved defence has transformed the Tournament Capital squad into a complete team. Kamloops enjoyed outstanding

Melinda Smith and the Kamloops Vibe begin their quest for a fifth straight provincial title today (March 27) in Richmond.

goaltending this season from Alana Parker, who carried the torch in place of the injured Ashley Fisher. Parker was the top netminder in the league, posting 16 shutouts and a .958 save percentage in 28 games. The Vibe, the only competitive senior women’s team in the Interior, are looking to win the B.C. title and move on to the Western Shield Championship, scheduled to run from April 9 to April 12 in Winnipeg. Kamloops, should it advance to Westerns, will be looking to repeat as champion, competing in the B Division against clubs from Manitoba,

Alberta and Saskatchewan. The majority of the team is made up of Kamloops products, ranging in age from their late teens to early 30s, who rose together through the Kamloops Minor Hockey Association ranks. But, thanks to their success, the Vibe have become an attraction for outof-town players. Impressive rookie Lisa Campeau, for example, is from Vernon, but it looks like she will move to the Tournament Capital to attend Thompson Rivers University, in part because the Vibe are in Kamloops. The Smith girls do represent a

microcosm of the team’s makeup. Gaylene Scott, the eldest, is married and recently gave birth to her first child. She was back on the ice five months after Aspyn was born. Rochelle, who finished tied for the lead in SCFAHL scoring with 43 points in 28 games, is the middle child, a sparkplug known for her feistiness and competitive nature. “If there’s anything happening on the ice that I don’t like, I’m usually the first one to say something about it,” said Rochelle, who works at Milestones with Melinda. “Then they come in and back me up.” The youngest Smith sister, Melinda, is said to carry traits from both elder siblings — the calm determination of Gaylene, with a touch of Rochelle’s fiery temperament. “One’s an instigator, one’s a troublemaker and one’s a peacemaker — and that’s why it works,” Gaylene said. “Lots of the younger girls keep the tempo up and the more mature girls keep the dynamic a little less intense.” There is a great deal of commitment involved for a group of women made up of wives, mothers and students, some with jobs, mortgages and children, others with classes to pass and tuition to pay. The SCFAHL includes the Vibe, the Fraser Valley Jets, the Richmond Devils, the Victoria Phantoms, the Meadow Ridge Moose, the B.C. Thunder, Simon Fraser University, the Trinity Western University Titans and the South Fraser TNT. Outside of the Phantoms, each team is based on the Lower Mainland. Weekend trips to the Coast, which come at a price, often consist of three games in two days.

“Because we’re not well recognized, we really don’t get sponsorship,” Gerry said. “For girls that are going to university, which a lot them are, it really takes a ton of dedication to get the money to continue playing. “They play because they have a passion.” And, they play to win, a fact proven by the banners hanging around the Ice Box, the Vibe’s home rink. Rochelle is looking forward in particular to a showdown with the TNT this weekend. “We’ve come up against them the last two times at provincials,” she said of South Fraser, which finished second in the league this season, four points back of Kamloops. “Last year, we beat them and they still got a berth to Westerns. “We were kind of chapped. We got to Westerns and beat them good, put them in their place. “We have those rivalries and you know certain players you don’t get along with.” The Smith parents are responsible for breathing life back into the team, taking the reins before the 2007-2008 season, when the roster had dwindled down to about 10 players. “I wouldn’t call it saving the team, but we were given the opportunity to take over,” Gerry said. “They all wanted some place to play and, of course, we had three daughters who still really wanted to be involved in hockey.” Gerry and Colleen inherited a team they have guided to four B.C. championships and two Western titles — and they picked up a few new daughters along the way. “They teach you as much as you teach them,” Gerry said. “It’s been really rewarding. “These girls put as much into this as any athlete does. We prove it by the results we get.”

It’s a best-of-three series now. The Kamloops Storm evened up their Kootenay International Junior Hockey League championship series on Wednesday night (March 25), defeating the Kimberley Dynamiters 4-0 in Game 4 at the McArthur Island Sport and Event Centre. Once trailing 2-0 in the series, Kamloops returns to the East Kootenay with a chance to take the series lead and set up a deciding Game 6 in the Tournament Capital on Sunday, March 29. “If someone would have told us at the beginning of the season we could play a best-of-three on the road for the championship, we would have been there in a heartbeat,� Storm head coach Ed Patterson said after the game. “I think we’ve got the momentum, with the way we’ve pounded their bodies physically.� Kamloops continued Game 3 with the same dominant play that landed it a double-overtime victory in Game 4 of the series on Tuesday night at McArthur. And, with another critical game on the line, it was the Storm’s veterans who carried the water for the home team throughout much of the game. Forward Bobby Kashuba finished the night with three assists and Ian Chrystal notched his first goal of the KIJHL final. Felix Larouche had an assist. Not to be outdone, the rookies played their part, too, with Max Patterson, Brayden Dale and Mark O’Shaughnessey, with two, also notching assists. But, it was Mitch Friesen, with two goals, who stood out more than any other player on Wednesday and not just to fans of the Storm. After the game, KTW learned the 18-year-old Surrey native has been listed by the Tri-City Americans, again the property of a Western Hockey

League club after being released by the Kamloops Blazers at the start of this season. “He has been fantastic,� Patterson said of Friesen. Through 19 games in the playoffs, the forward has 20 points, second in post-season scoring to only the Dynamiters’ Braden Saretsky. “It has been nice to see him regain his confidence and start playing stronger, taking pucks to the net, being more of a physical force,� Patterson continued. “The boys follow his lead. He has done a great job.� Kamloops might look to Friesen again tonight (March 27), when it takes to the ice at the Kimberley Civic Centre to face the Dynamiters in Game 5. Far from a welcoming environment, the Storm will need to find a way to win on Dynamiters’ ice if they’re to wear the KIJHL crown. “Obviously, it’s a smaller rink than McArthur Island,� Friesen said. “We’ve just got to keep pounding them. The bounces will come, we’re on a roll right now. On the other side of the rink, the Dynamiters will look to regroup after dropping a pair of road games in Kamloops. Patterson said the way this series has gone reminds him of the Storm’s conference final,

in which Kamloops won four straight against the Osoyoos Coyotes. For Dynamiters head coach Jerry Bancks, Game 4 was already forgotten just moments after the final buzzer sounded. “I’m a big believer you’ve got to have good parking skills,� he told Taylor Rocca of the Kimberley Daily Bulletin. “What’s happened these last two days is done. “We’ve got to match their physical play. Too many times we get the puck in the neutral zone and we’re trying to stickhandle around people instead of throwing it in and going after it and working hard to get it back. “We’ve got too many players on an individual page, playing outside the system. We’ve got to buy in.� Speaking of system, Patterson said his team will make a few adjustments in preparation for tonight’s game, mostly adapting to the smaller surface and the defensive changes that come with it. For the most part, though, he just wants his team to continue playing as they have on Mac Isle. “We know the rink now, inside and out, after playing a couple games there,� Patterson said. “The boys are stoked to get on the road.�

BCFC ditches unbalanced schedule ADAM WILLIAMS STAFF REPORTER adam@kamloopsthisweek.com

The Kamloops Broncos may be coming off their best season as a franchise, but 2015 will tell the tale of how far the junior football team has truly come. The B.C. Football Conference released its 2015 schedule this week, a 12-week regular-season slate that abolishes the unbalanced, weighted system in favour of a return to a balanced schedule. It was the result of the conference’s January meeting, during which team representatives voted on how to construct the schedule moving forward. “In the end, it was a hinderance to recruiting, it was a hinderance to us being able to move forward with our league,” Broncos president Dino Bernardo said of the weighted schedule. He was in the majority, which voted to move to a balanced schedule beginning in 2015. For the last three years, the BCFC’s schedule has been based on standings from the previous season. In 2014, for example, Kamloops, the Westshore Rebels of Langford and the Valley Huskers of Chilliwack played more often against one another, as the result of being the bottom three teams in the conference in 2013. In turn, the top three teams — the Okanagan Sun of Kelowna, the Vancouver Island Raiders of Nanaimo and the Langley Rams — played the pre-

Derek Yachison and the Kamloops Broncos will have a tougher slate of games than they did last year.

home and once on the road. The previous year’s standings will have no bearing on the schedule. Though Bernardo is happy to be moving on from the tiered system, he still believes it was in the best interests of the conference to implement it three years ago. He said it gave the Broncos time to grow as a program and gain some strength, establishing themselves against teams playing closer to their level at the time. It also taught some lessons around the rest of the conference. “The biggest thing it taught was for some of the bigger brothers in the league,” Bernardo told KTW. “It showed you can’t just beat down on the other, weaker teams. It hurts attendance and it hurts the league.” The first week of BCFC play gets underway on July 25, when the Broncos face the Huskers in Chilliwack. Kamloops will play its first game at Hillside Stadium on Aug. 2 against the Langley Rams. The game against the Rams stands out as one of the highlights of 2015 for Bernardo, as the Langley club hasn’t played a game in Kamloops in three years. There will be a few difficult stretches for the Broncos, too, including a fourweek run in August, during which the team won’t see the turf at Hillside Stadium. And, while the home game against Langley is a highlight, there’s a downside, too — it’s scheduled for Sunday

of the August long weekend, which Bernardo expects to make filling the stands at Hillside difficult. Kamloops will twice play at home on consecutive weekends — Aug. 2 and Aug. 8, as well as Sept. 26 and Oct. 3. The team’s longest stint away from home will be the four weeks of August, which includes games at Langford, Langley and Kelowna, as well as a bye week. The regular season is scheduled to wrap up on Oct. 3, with all six of the conference’s teams receiving a bye on the weekend of Oct. 10. The BCFC playoffs will begin on Oct. 17 and Oct. 18, with the Cullen Cup, the league championship, being played on the weekend of Oct. 24 and Oct. 25. The Canadian Junior Football League’s Canadian Bowl Game, which pits the champion of the BCFC against the champion of the Prairie Football Conference, goes on Nov. 7. With the schedule now in his hands, Bernardo has started to look forward to the upcoming football season in Kamloops. The team plans to announce the return of some of its veterans in the coming weeks, meaning the Broncos will start the season with what the president believes is a solid core of players. “We’re super excited,” Bernardo said. “It really does help shore up our offence and gives us something to work with.”

Chadwick’s players taking control ADAM WILLIAMS

STAFF REPORTER

adam@kamloopsthisweek.com

Ray Chadwick sat down with three of his veterans at the start of the season and told them his vision for the TRU WolfPack baseball team. “Twelve years I’ve been here,” the head coach told Brendan Reid, Alex Reid and Luc Simpson. “I always tell the guys, ‘This isn’t my team, it’s your team.’” As Chadwick stood in Norbrock Stadium earlier this month, the opening weekend of Thompson Rivers University’s Canadian Collegiate Baseball Conference season on the horizon and his 32 players practising around him, he watched a team that he said is closer than any university team in his dozen seasons with TRU. “This is one of the first years that I really

think those guys have taken that to heart and it’s their team,” Chadwick told KTW. “It has been fun to watch.” The bond Chadwick’s players share hasn’t been restricted to the baseball diamond, though they’ve certainly been strong there, too. The team went 3-1 in its opening weekend of play last week. TRU begins its home slate this weekend at Norbrock.

The WolfPack play twice tomorrow (March 28) — at noon against Okanagan College and at 6 p.m. against Calgary. On Sunday, the WolfPack square off against Calgary at 10 a.m. and Okanagan College at 4 p.m. But, the relationships the Pack have built in their time away from the game are what Chadwick and company expect to be the team’s strength. Never was that more evident than when pitcher Alex Reid organized a stem cell donor clinic earlier this season. The baseball team knew about the clinic Reid was organizing — an effort spurred by the health of his stepsister, Carle Motus, who is battling her second bout of cancer. Reid told his teammates he didn’t want them to feel obligated to be part of the event

— if they could help out, great. If not, no hard feelings. But, when the doors of the Wolf’s Den opened at the start of the day, eight teammates stood before Reid, there to volunteer. Another half of the team would arrive later, there as potential donors. “It was heartwrenching to see that support and people that have my back like that,” Reid said. “It was really awesome.” The public and the rest of the WolfPack community came out to support Reid, too. By the end of the day, 348 people had made their way through the Wolf’s Den. Another 100 people from the Tournament Capital registered as donors in the week following the clinic. “Hopefully, from this event we’ve done — 348 people — maybe we can save five, ten, 15

lives, who knows, across Canada,” Reid said. The clinic was a window into the type of relationships that make up the WolfPack. Both Reid and Simpson, the team’s captain, feel it’s what separates this year’s group from those of years gone by. Even though Simpson is the captain, he said he looks everywhere for leadership, feeling like he’s on a team of captains. “We’ve changed it around drastically,” Simpson said of the club’s atmosphere. “A lot of guys didn’t really buy into it at the beginning. “I think now, there’s not one guy that doesn’t want to be a part of it, because it’s something much more.” The team is hoping their relationships off the field, along with a veteran-heavy group on it, can lead the club back to a CCBC crown.

WOLFGANG WEYHE

DOUG HAGAN

Wolfgang Willi Weyhe, passed away peacefully on the morning of March 18, 2015 at the Marjorie Willoughby Snowden Memorial Hospice Home with his loving wife of 48 years by his side. He is survived by his wife Christa, son Willy, daughter Tanya, son-in-law John, grandchildren Elizabeth and Amelia and sister Annemarie. Wolfgang is certain to have been already greeted in Heaven by his Dad, Mom and brother, Manfred. Wolfgang was born in Frankfurt Oder, Germany on January 27, 1945 and Clenze, became his hometown. He chose to become a master baker for his trade. He crossed the ocean on one of his Dad’s ships in 1964 and immigrated to Canada. He knew very little English at the time, but set his determination and skills aimed for success in anything he did in Canada. On one of his visits back to Germany, he met and became engaged to the woman who stole his heart (the sister of one of his baking friends, Horst). Wolfgang returned for only a short while to Canada, this time to prepare a home in Kamloops, BC, for his bride-to-be, Christa. Wolfgang and Christa arrived in Kamloops only one week after their wedding which was on January 21, 1967, in Neudarchau, Germany. Wolfgang worked at Canada Safeway for a few years, then, Wolfgang and his family moved to Quesnel, BC in 1974, where he opened a bakery. It was sold to his brother-in-law, Horst, when there came an opportunity to become an owner and operator of another bakery back in Kamloops. The Wunderbar Delights of The Main Bakery were enjoyed by the Kamloops community for 12 years and then the family started a new adventure together in Abbotsford, BC in 1987. Wolfgang was a baker at the nearby Safeway until he retired. Baking was definitely a passion for Wolfgang, but one did not only know him by his lovingly made delicious treats. He was always very energetic, helpful, loyal and joyful. Fishing, hiking, long bike trips, building a cabin and a house, gardening and traveling throughout Canada and Germany, were just a few of the experiences he loved to share with anyone who would join him. Unless he was enjoying a beer with the company of friends and family or sketching out his plans, Wolfgang was rarely just sitting. Even when Wolfgang and Christa retired to Magna Bay, he kept himself always on the go and then Wolfgang and Christa enjoyed happy hour with the neighbours as they watched the sunset over the beautiful, sunny Shuswap, together.

Doug moved to Kamloops at the age of 4 when his father started Hagan Refrigeration. Doug attended school in Kamloops and then entered the refrigeration trade following in his father’s footsteps. Later Doug opened Belmont Display Fixtures where his technical sales ability was something to behold. The game of sales was set deeply in his heart. Doug could easily sell refrigeration equipment while taking in a round of golf. Doug enjoyed nothing more than being with family and friends enjoying a great meal, a good bottle of wine and possibly winning in a game of crib. Doug and Vicky shared great times in their second home in Arizona, with many friends. Doug’s life seemed too short for many of those who were touched by his fun nature and generous heart. He gave much joy to his friends and family, and will be kept forever in our hearts. Doug was survived by his soul mate Vicky, his children Anndrea (Kevin), Ryan (Jermaine) and Bridge (Cher), eight grandchildren, his brother Roger (Brenda) and many extended family. Doug was predeceased by his mother and father Don and Donna and nephew Mathew. The family would like to thank Dr. Whiltshire and Lori, Dr. Gabriel and staff at the RIH cancer clinic, the hospitalists and staff at RIH, and finally the wonderful care given at Hospice. In lieu of flowers, please make a donation to Hospice or RIH Cancer Clinic.

Our Deepest Sympathy

FUNERAL BLUES Stop all the clocks, cut off the telephone, Prevent the dog from barking with a juicy bone.

Our Deepest Sympathy Grieving couple

Silence the pianos and with muffled drum Bring out the coffin, let the mourners come.

To send our deepest sympathy

Let aeroplanes circle moaning overhead

Just doesn’t seem like enough.

Scribbling on the sky the message He is Dead,

We know how your grief must burden you,

Put crépe bows round the white necks of the public doves,

How this time must be so rough.

Let the traffic policemen wear black cotton gloves.

But try to believe in your heart of hearts,

He was my North, my South, my East and West,

That your pain won’t last forever,

My working week and my Sunday rest,

That sadness will lighten a little each day,

My noon, my midnight, my talk, my song,

and you’ll eventually feel much better.

I thought that love would last forever: ‘I was wrong’

When that day comes, your memories

The stars are not wanted now, put out every one;

Will focus on the good, not the bad. Instead of feeling burdened by tears, You’ll cherish the happy times you had.

Pack up the moon and dismantle the sun; Pour away the ocean and sweep up the wood. For nothing now can ever come to any good. ~WH Auden

God’s donkey: The simple transit to eternal life

I

n the Christian calendar, the coming week is generally known as the Passion or Holy Week, leading up to Good Friday. It is also the last week in the season of Lent. During the last week of Master Jesus’ life in Jerusalem, two symbols stood out: (a) the Palm Branch and, (b) the Cross. The palm branches represented acclaim of the shouting crowds, greeting a messiah coming to his own city. The cross represented a tragedy. Why did Christianity not take the palm branch as its symbol, a joyful token with its recollections of hosannas to the conquering Lord? Perhaps the Christian church would have never survived the centuries with only a palm branch on its altar. The cross goes deeper, much deeper than

FAITH

anything else into the heart of man’s experience, need and deliverance. It stands for a rescue story from Calvary — of sin and saviourhood — locked in desperate encounter, with the fate of the world depending on which of these will win in the end. Let us say to ourselves this Palm Sunday as we see the Master entering Jerusalem amid the crowd’s hosannas that saviourhood is in this world.

HOPE

Lowly and riding on a donkey’s foal, Jesus came to the great city of Jerusalem and faced the sin of the world from: • The priests who did not wish their orthodox establishment disturbed; • The businessmen wanting no money changers’ table overturned to their profit’s hurt; • The politicians like Caiaphas playing their clever, selfish games; • The cowards like Pilate, washing his hands off his responsibilities; • The Roman soldiers doing whatever cruelty they were commanded; • The crowd, persuaded by skilful propaganda to cry, “crucify him”; So, as always, saviourhood faced sin. But, today, over 2,000 years later, it’s not the sin we are celebrating, but saviourhood.

Sunday, Mar. 29th

The Holy Week celebrates that exciting truth at the heart of the Christian gospel: there is saviourhood in this world, and in it is a quality which lays hold on us as nothing else ever does. It reverberates around Jesus’ own determination to go to a dangerous destination against all odds when he said, “I must go to Jerusalem, be betrayed, and be killed . . .” This type of “must” is the origin or all saviourhood. Florence Nightingale need not have gone to nurse the wounded in the Crimean War. No outward pressure urged her on. All the circumstances were against her going. The military authorities were themselves dubious or antagonistic, and her own family called her crazy for even thinking of it. But, there was that

“must” inside of her. We had better be grateful when we think of it, for all the background of our lives is full of it and every decent and lovely thing we have or hoped for has come from it — men and women who need not have done what they did, but who were compelled by the “must” inside of them. Christ had that. That is what took him to cross: “I lay down my life . . . no man takes it from me, but I lay it down of myself.” Greater love has no man than this that a man lay down his life for his friends. So, human life is a struggle between sin — whatever debases and debauches life — and the great successions of the saviours, with the “must” inside of them. Let no one spend this Holy Week without facing the alternatives.

In one of Rembrandt’s paintings of the crucifixion, one’s eyes naturally rest at first upon the central figures of the scene. But, by and by, in the shadows, one sees another figure — Rembrandt himself, no doubt about it — helping to crucify Christ. This struggle between sin and saviourhood is going on inside every one of us, and we cannot afford to thrust it off as though it were public only. It is private, the central issue of each person’s life. As someone has aptly put it, “No possible rearrangement of bad eggs can ever make a good omelette.” The one thing that make is worthwhile declaring this message during Holy Week is that the dual experience — accepting saviourhood for ourselves and then going out to be saviours by becoming a

God’s donkey — could happen here and now to some of us. Well, it had better happen to a lot of people, for we cannot take civilization for granted any more. Look at the collapse of civilization in this 21st century. It is going to be a struggle — sin against saviourhood and saviourhood against sin — and the saviours must first of all be saved themselves. As Moses met God alone at the burning bush before he confronted Pharaoh in the public court, may some of us this week face the cross of Christ and, seeing there sin and saviourhood locked in that desperate encounter, choose Christ’s side.

NATIONAL NEWS

Former CSIS spy weighs in on bill Coles Notes on said he takes “great offence’’ to concerns that the legislation would place protest under the CSIS lens, adding that groups and individuals “should not flatter yourself to that degree.” Boisvert and David Harris, another retired CSIS officer, backed a legislative proposal to allow the spy agency to derail terror plots — not just gather information about them. It would give CSIS flexible options to handle threats, Harris told the MPs. “These can be very important in moving decisively when there may be a risk situation developing,’’ said Harris, also a private consultant. Under the bill, CSIS could take clandestine measures that violate the Charter of Rights and Freedoms as long as a judge approves the actions. CSIS was established in 1984 dur-

JIM BRONSKILL

THE CANADIAN PRESS

OTTAWA — Many demonstrators are flattering themselves when they publicly fret about coming under the scrutiny of security services, says a former spymaster. Ray Boisvert said yesterday (March 26) the Canadian Security Intelligence Service [CSIS] had the resources to monitor only those threats “in the red, high-risk, high-probability zone’’ when he served as the agency’s assistant director of intelligence earlier this decade. “That meant that we had no time to even consider looking at any sort of lesser evils that were emerging out there,’’ Boisvert told the House of Commons public safety committee, which is studying a sweeping new security bill. Boisvert, now a security consultant,

ing the thick of the Cold War, when the operational tempo was much different, Boisvert said. “Quite often, an intelligence officer would arrive from the Soviet Union. We would take four years to decide whether or not that person was truly an intelligence officer. In today’s threat environment, sometimes you have weeks, sometimes days, sometimes hours.’’ The disruption provisions would conscript judges into the “dirty business’’ of spying, said Ziyaad Mia of the Canadian Muslim Lawyers Association. “It turns the role of the judiciary completely upside down,’’ he told the committee. “This is not the role of judges in our system.’’ The Conservatives brought in the 62-page security bill following the murders of two Canadian soldiers just

days apart last October. There was no direct link between the attacks in Ottawa and St-Jean-sur-Richelieu, Que., but it appears both assailants were inspired by radical Islamic thinking. The bill would also make it easier for police to limit the movements of a suspect, expand no-fly list powers, take aim at terrorist propaganda on the Internet and dismantle federal barriers to sharing securityrelated information. The NDP opposes the legislation. The Liberals plan to support it, but outlined several proposed changes Thursday, including creation of a full-fledged national security committee of parliamentarians. Boisvert acknowledged there is “deep concern” about the legislation and endorsed the notion of augmenting the existing watchdog functions of the

Security Intelligence Review Committee. “We were a better organization because of review, not despite,” Boisvert said. “We knew everything we did would eventually at some point face some form of review by somebody.’’ David Cape, chairman of the Centre for Israel and Jewish Affairs, praised the bill’s terrorist propaganda provisions as well as the move to outlaw the act of encouraging someone to commit an attack. But he also called for stronger scrutiny of CSIS activities and recommended the intelligence review committee chairman be made an officer of Parliament. He also called for more efforts on deradicalization of extremists and tighter privacy restrictions on the bill’s information-sharing measures.

Alberta budget THE CANADIAN PRESS

EDMONTON — The bottom line: Total spending of $48.4 billion on revenue of $43.4 billion for a $5-billion deficit — the largest in Alberta’s history. The deficit will be covered mainly by the province’s contingency fund. • End of flat tax: Alberta will end its 10 per cent flat income-tax rate and phase in two new tax brackets for those making more than $100,000 or $250,000 a year. The change will affect about 330,000 workers. • Health levy: Individuals making more than $50,000 a year will have to pay a health-care levy, effective July 1. The amount will be tied to income and capped at $1,000 annually. The levy is to be collected through the income-tax system and won’t be paid by employers. • Gasoline tax: The gasoline tax jumps four cents a litre. The government notes Alberta’s gas tax has not been raised since 1991 and remains the lowest in the country. • Smokes and booze: It will cost 16 cents more for a bottle of wine and 90 cents more for a case of 12 beers. The tax on a carton of cigarettes will go up by $5 to $45. • Tax breaks for the working poor: Families earning less than $41,220 a year will be eligible for a supplement for each child, to a maximum of $2,750 each year. The government says about 75,000 families will be eligible. • Fees aplenty: Fees are going up for everything from camping to court filings, marriage certificates and traffic fines.

Cuts expected to decrease local services across Canada THE CANADIAN PRESS

TORONTO — CBC News is laying off 144 people across the country, shrinking Englishlanguage local services in a bid to shave $15 million from its operating costs. On the French side, RadioCanada announced 100 job cuts across the country, including 20 vacancies and retirements. Jennifer McGuire, editor-inchief of CBC News, announced the English layoffs in a note to staff, which stressed that no stations are being closed and all local radio programming is being maintained. But, there will be significant job losses, including 37 positions in Alberta, 30 in Ontario and 25 in British Columbia. The cuts are part of a fiveyear strategy announced last June to shift priorities to mobile and digital offerings. McGuire admitted that “local services will be smaller overall,’’ but says the relative size of each region remains the same. “It’s a significant change in our delivery of local news and

BELLA BELLA — The Heiltsuk Nation is vowing to protect herring in its territory by any means necessary as it readies boats to defend a contentious fishery on B.C.’s Central Coast. The First Nation has issued a news release saying it met with federal officials about a commercial herring gillnet fishery in its territory yesterday but failed to reach an agreement. Kelly Brown, who directs the Heiltsuk’s resource management department, says the industry took 680 tons out of the same area with a recent seine fishery, and a gillnet fishery “would only add insult to injury.’’ The Department of Fisheries and Oceans opened the herring-roe seine fishery near Bella Bella on Sunday, saying there is enough stock to support the harvest. The Heiltsuk Nation says it has received strong statements of support from neighbouring bands and other aboriginal governments, including a resolution passed by Coastal First Nations on Wednesday condemning the actions of the department of fisheries. Chief Councillor Marilyn Slett said she feels the nation has exhausted all means of negotiation with the DFO and it is now prepared to protect the herring “by any means necessary.’’ “We are saddened that it has come to this, but we cannot stand

by while DFO uses flawed science to destroy a resource we have depended on for thousands of years,’’ she said in a release. “If we don’t protect the herring, who will?’’ — The Canadian Press

Alberta reserve training with fentanyl antidote STANDOFF, Alta. — A southern Alberta reserve where two people died from what police believe was a potent amount of fentanyl is training people on the use of an antidote. Health officials from the Blood Tribe say the special drug kit could help save someone’s life in the event of an overdose. The illegal drug is sometimes sold to unsuspecting buyers as OxyContin or heroin and has been linked to more than 100 deaths in Alberta last year. Blood Tribe doctor, Esther Tailfeathers, said the drug Naloxone can counter the effects of opioids such as fentanyl. The band declared a state of emergency earlier this month over the use of pills containing fentanyl. Three people from the reserve have been charged in the drug overdose deaths of a man and a woman who were both in their 40s. Blood Tribe police Chief Lee Boyd has said authorities on the reserve will do everything in their power to stop trafficking of the illicit drug.

ometimes it helps to have a sister. For Julie Kennedy, one of those moments came when she and sibling Carli were at university studying for degrees in music. Julie, who plays the fiddle, had an elective she was taking that required her to take an exam playing the guitar. Carli plays the guitar. The sisters are identical twins. “I sent Carli in to do it,� Julie said. “Most people know us and know we’re identical twins, but the instructor didn’t. He was shocked at how much improvement I had done in a week.� While Carli’s got the guitar down well, Julie’s fiddle-playing has also excelled.

When the Powell River sisters who perform as Twin Kennedy recently played a gig in Iceland, Julie was given a standing offer to play with a symphony there any time she was in town. Why Iceland? “Why not?� Julie said. It was on the way to Sweden — a touring opportunity they picked up while performing at the Canadian Music Week last year. While arranging the trip, they learned that, if they flew on Icelandair, they could stop there first on their way to Sweden. “We have some music friends who told us we had to go to Iceland, so we did,� Carli said. The girls grew up in a musical family, starting to perform with the family band at age six. In fact, Carli said, there was rarely a day there wasn’t music being made or played

They’ve got a stop planned in Kamloops for a show at St. Andrews on the Square, at Seymour Street and Second Avenue, on April 11 at 7 p.m. The twins put more than 16,000 kilometres on their vehicle making the trip out to the East Coast, hitting 47 radio stations along the way, dealing with a couple of major snow storms and meeting new people, Julie said. Travelling and singing wasn’t a chore, Carli said, even though they’ve basically been on the road for the past two years, answering tweets from back home to reassure everyone they are doing fine. “We’ve been doing

They’ll be home for a couple of weeks in the spring before heading out again, bringing their music.

FINAL DAYS TO SAVE! TARGET CANADA

Still Alice won the Kamloops Film Festival’s Most Popular Film Award after selling out more than a week before the show.

Festival attendance up 20 per cent from last year The Kamloops Film Society is touting the recent film festival as “an astounding success.” The festival, which featured 15 films over 10 days at Paramount Theatre earlier this month, brought in 20 per cent more attendees than last year, with more than 4,200 ticket stubs. Each year, the society contributes proceeds from one of the films to a local charity. This year, $400 collected for the film Winter Sleep was donated to Western Canada Theatre.

Audience members who rated films during the festival awarded What We Do in the Shadow the Kamloops Film Festival Audience Favourite Award. The most popular film was Still Alice, which sold out more than a week before the screening. The festival is held annually, but the society holds screenings throughout the year. Boychoir will be shown next on April 9. For more information, go online to kamloopsfilmseries.ca.

ooking, canning, smoking, breadmaking, wine-making — my five most recent “ings.” Housekeeping didn’t make the list. I avoid it at all costs — well, most always. There was a time when my attempt at omelet-making turned into a full-on empty-and-cleanout-the-refrigerator experience. My wife has learned to “go with it,” choosing to take a wide berth. Carolyn steers clear of my well-meaning, albeit, manic manoeuvres. The cooking began more than five years ago. My man-brain finally discovered one of the best ways of pleasing my better half — dinner on the table when she arrives home from work. I believe it’s a turning-50 thing for most men of my generation. Canning preserves came next. I love the idea of home canning fresh, locally sourced food. It’s definitely an effort, but is well worth it. I processed just over 200 jars my first year and 750 this past season. Jams, jellies, spreads, assorted vegetables, sauces and

WHISTLES the piéce de résistance — salsas. It would make Seinfeld’s Cosmo Kramer proud. (Even though I pronounce it “salza”). I’m trusting my taste for canning will, in due course, destroy our glass-topped stove that has endured such abuse. I’d prefer a natural-gas range with instant heat and more gas burners — ideal for putting up preserves. Last year, I posted my New Year’s resolution on Facebook. It was to take up smoking and quit bumming from my friends. I also thanked my wife for getting me started. Of course, the photo of my unwrapped Little Chief electric smokehouse made the true

It’ll do until I overcome my fear of instructions enough to learn how to bake a loaf from scratch — kneading and all. Speaking of great finds in second-hand stores, my collection of wine-making supplies has quickly grown as a result of hunting for deals. I’ve been collecting carboys, primary fermenters, mini-jet wine filter, a floor corker, boxes of bottles and wine racks. KTW editor Christopher Foulds has been an avid U-brew fan of the vino, choosing to bottle his batch at a local store up the hill. I decided to go the way of former KTW salesman Bob Edwards and make my wine at home. I recently visited Bob to bend his ear about his technique and tools of the trade. Now, whenever I have a ques-

meaning of my comment much clearer. My mother-in-law, Marian Owens, now makes regular visits to our freezer, having discovered the smoked sockeye salmon lurking within its depths. Bread-making, however, remains a mystery to me. My mother starter remains tightly sealed in a jar in the farthest reaches of the downstairs fridge with hopes of one day taking on a new form, perhaps, as a French baguette or San Francisco sourdough loaf. I had high hopes that I, too, might create artisan breads such as my brother-in-law, James Osborne, bakes — but the alchemy eludes me still. Peter Reinhart’s book, Artisan Bread Every Day, was great at rising my interest for learning the fundamentals of age-old, breadmaking traditions, but it’s likely I need a baking buddy who can walk me through the basics of crafting naturally leavened breads

tion I need answered that I can’t seem to solve from searching the Internet, I give my wine-guy Bob a call. And, of course, in true Eagles’ fashion, I don’t just start with one wine kit for my first attempt — I begin multiple batches. In my head, I hear the niggling words of KTW staffer Tim Petruk, “bells and whistles” — oft’ heard when something in “Dave’s world” exhibits the minute possibility of any thing more than the essentials. What can I say, I like variety — it’s the spice of life. My wife just handed me a list of her “ings” she wants me to work on. It looks pretty familiar: vacuuming, sweeping, dish-washing, bed-making and, of course — top of the list — less spending.

Come and discover my community story. Sandy Van Camp is the volunteer of the month, for his service at the Kamloops Therapeutic Riding Club.

BEARING REIN

A

s part of 30th anniversary celebrations, Volunteer Kamloops has given Sandy Van Camp its volunteer Recognition Award for the month of March. Just over five years ago, Sandy Van Camp was reading Kamloops This Week when he came across an ad seeking volunteers for the Kamloops Therapeutic Riding Centre (KTRC). Sandy laughs about it now, as he explains it was his wife who really pushed him to make the call: He had recently retired and was home with her all day, every day. Since his start date on Sept. 16, 2009, Sandy has become a full-time volunteer. His title may say he is the centre’s yards and maintenance volunteer, but he does a lot more. Sandy, 74, volunteers at KTRC Mondays through Thursdays year round, usually from 8:30 a.m. to 1 p.m., and is always the first to offer to stay longer if needed. He leads a rider’s horse in a lesson and completes morning chores with staff and, for those familiar with horses and the damage they can do to fences, he is the go-to guy when something breaks. To say Sandy has gone above and beyond KTRC’s expectations is an understatement. In short, they could not do what they do without him. The Kamloops Therapeutic Riding Centre is looking for riding program support volunteers. For more information, go online to ktrc.com. To learn more about Volunteer Kamloops and how to get involved in the community, go online to volunteerkamloops.org or stop by the office at 705 Seymour St., Tuesdays to Fridays from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. and meet with a program co-ordinator for an assessment and to identify the perfect volunteer opportunity for your interests and skills.

Kamloopsians Ernie Beadle, Barry Deacon and Bryan Daly are on their motorcycles, attempting to drive from the southernmost tip of South America to Kamloops. While the idea for the trip started as an adventure for the three men, more than 16 months of planning led to a charitable component. As they make their way from South America to Kamloops, Ernie, Barry and Bryan are soliciting donations for the Kamloops Hospice Association on their blog, motociclistasamigos.wordpress.com, before hosting a special presentation about their trip at the Kamloops Hospice Association’s dinner and dance on April 17 at the Coast Kamloops Hotel and Conference Centre. KTW will publish occasional updates from the Three Amigos’ journey, updates taken from their online blog, which is detailed and highly entertaining. The last time we checked in, the trio was in Guatemala City, Guatemala, wating for Ernie’’s bike to get fixed. Well, it was finally repaired and the Three Amigos left Guatemala, headed for Mexico. Guatemala City, Guatemala, to San Cristobal, Mexico: his ride is through some rough country reputation-wise, but we felt safe. The ride out of Guatemala was great. We followed the Northwest Panamerican out and climbed to over 10,000 feet. The air was fresh, the mountainsides had every usable square inch of terrain planted, it was beautiful and it seemed prosperous. Genocide by the government took place in the early 1980s very close to the areas we travelled. About 200,00 indigenous people were killed in the mountain areas of northwest Guatemala. The army responsible at the time are now either running the country, running private security firms or running bus companies! Near Antigua, we stopped at a McDonald’s (I know, but familiarity is relaxing) for some

T

body fuel at 6 a.m.. The guards were ecstatic to see us and guarded our bikes personally with shotguns while we dined. They were interested and we chatted a while before heading north. The roads were great — curvy mountain roads — and interesting after six days away from the bikes. It took us each an hour to get to be one with them again. The border was our best crossing so far, logical (based on past experiences) though expensive, but it took only 1.5 hours — our best time yet. Fumigation, import tax, transport tax, deposit on value of bike, etc. It was a about $500 US to get leave Guatemala. Also, despite having an expensive motorcyle-insurance policy for all countries, we had to buy more insurance, It’s not completely unusual, but mine was $200 for two weeks. So, $700 later, welcome to Mexico!

We arrived at a 300-year-old hotel in San Cristobal, Mexico. This city are old — narrow, one-way cobblestone streets, hotels, restaurants, stores and parks — San Cristobal is full of character and really alive. The hotel cost us $14 each for our own room. Although a risky area, it would be fun to come back and explore as there seems to be much to see culturally and historically in terms of ruins in these areas. Poor Ernie had a cold shower. He said: “One tap had a C on it and I could not get hot water out of the other.” He had forgotten his Spanish — C stands for Caliente (hot). We had a barrel of laughs! Mexico was far more progressive and modern than we thought it might be. Our first town had a Walmart and modern malls. The roads, mostly tolled, have been great as we head north.

Nicaragua: The soul of Central America RICK MILLIKAN

TRAVEL WRITERS’ TALES

N

icaragua’s old capital, León proves the most distinctive destination of many excursions during a recent Panama Canal Cruise. In the center of this venerable city stands World Heritage León Cathedral. Blending a unique baroque flair and neoclassical grandeur, a haloed Virgin Mary stands gloriously atop. And just below, sculpted pairs of husky Atlanteans support the heavy beams between its central gable and bell towers. Interestingly, these supermen refer subtly to the 17th century’s vision of Atlantis and its link to the New World. The façade’s twelve ornamental columns conjure the eras of Rome and Greece. Two golden lions flank this cathedral’s portals, four more surround its plaza fountain. “The topmost statue represents Maximo Jerez, an early Nicaraguan president and liberal thinker,” explains guide Miguel. Stony arms folded, Maximo ponders; an audience of pigeons squat at his feet and one perches rudely on his head. Strolling onward, Miguel tells us how cathedral architecture was adapted to this area’s perilous terrain. Studying the low profile and thick walls, we can understand how it survived earthquakes, volcanic eruptions and warfare. Inside, Christ’s 12 apostles adorn soaring columns.

RICK MILLIKAN PHOTO A panoramic view of Leon, Nicaragua, from Cathedral Roof offers an array of colourful historic buildings with mountains rising in the distant background.

IF YOU GO For cruise itineraries through Holland America, go online to hollandamerica.com. Panama Canal Cruises begin at Fort Lauderdale stopping at Aruba and ports in Costa Rica, Nicaragua, Guatemala and Mexico. Miguel mentions that during cathedral construction, prominent citizens bought tombs below the marble floor. Nine wealthy notables, ten bishops, five priests and three poets are entombed here. Ruben Dario’s tomb rests just below Saint Paul. There, a marble lion weeps for Nicaragua’s world-re-

nowned poet, journalist and diplomat. “Dario’s childhood home is now a city museum,” Miguel notes. “Nicely restored, it displays Dario’s personal belongings, first editions of his work and photographs showing his literary triumphs in Paris, Madrid, Buenos Aires and Chile.”

Dario exemplifies this city’s intellectuals. I had read about their prince of Spanish letters, adeptly fusing romanticism and politics. His poetry famously praised U.S. idealism and criticized its capitalistic aggression. The cathedral also displays several masterpieces of Spanish colonial art. Among them, the statue of the black Christ still retaining scars of a pirate’s sword. Such religious booty was occasionally shuffled through or hidden in the seven tunnels linking other city churches.

Our tour also offers a remarkable panoramic view of León. Entering through a cathedral’s side-door, our group ascends a long narrow spiral stairway upward to the rooftop. To explore the newly whitewashed expanse, we must remove our shoes… and wear sunglasses in order to avoid a blinding reflection. The gigantic snow-white statuary and thirty-four domes remain dazzling. Among the many bells, we examine La Libertad, which announced Central America’s independence to the world.

“Great vista, eh?” Miguel proudly grins. “Perfect, too, for cannons. Artillery was placed here to defend Leon from conservative forces in 1824 and later against dictator Somoza’s soldiers during our 1979 revolt.” Just below stands Central America’s second oldest University graduating thinkers for centuries. These scholars likely formed the liberal factions who continually challenged the status quo. In the distance brood eight volcanoes.

Exiting the Cathedral, we stroll around the large plaza. At one corner a large mural shows the struggles of early settlers. Another depicts Sandinistas fighting Somoza’s army and the later Contras, counterrevolutionaries. Nearby, a sculpted sawdust portrait of Venezuela’s Hugo Chavez straddles the sidewalk. Beside this artwork stands a pink-faced clown in bib overalls, who tells us, “Chavez

products. Looking over their collections of handicrafts, we buy carved wooden bowls as well as bags of dark roasted coffee and icy Cokes. Back aboard the bus, Miguel speaks frankly about Nicaragua’s recent politics. “After ousting Somoza, the Sandanista leader Daniel Ortega improved education, redistributed land and, many think, messed up the economy. “So, Ortega lost three elections, before being re-elected. Now he’s considered a practical president enacting good policies.� Having shared his country’s outlook, Miguel points out his home and invites us

amigos for dinner. We laugh. Outside the city, Miguel extols the wealth of the surrounding landscape: Pastures filled with white Brahman cattle, acres of cotton, sorghum grain, beans, corn and sugar cane. “These cleared dirt fields conceal treasures: Peanuts,â€? Miguel explains. “And those distant volcanoes represent Nicaragua’s potential. That one, Momotombo already supplies energy at a nearby geothermal plant.â€?

Sudoku puzzles are formatted as a 9x9 grid, broken down into nine 3x3 boxes. To solve a sudoku, the numbers 1 through 9 must fill each row, column and box. Each number can appear only once in each row, column and box. You can figure out the order in which the numbers will appear by using the numeric clues already provided in the boxes. The more numbers you name, the easier it gets to solve the puzzle!
