Exercise and earn Air Miles Being fit and healthy has its own rewards, but soon an active lifestyle will come with a tangible payoff for British Columbia residents. Health Minister Terry Lake has confirmed the province and the Public Health Agency of Canada will roll out a rewards program this fall. Lake said it will allow participants to earn Air Miles if they demonstrate they are participating in activities that promote health living. Lake said the province has paid $2.5 million to join the program. It will begin in B.C. but, as other provinces come on board, Lake said it will be expanded across the country. An existing program supported by the federal government through a partnership with the YMCA has shown that people engaged in a rewards program increased their physical activity 110 per cent and were active 2.8 times per week; up from 1.3 times per week. — Canadian Press

Nancy Bepple enjoying a sunny day at her solar-powered Nicola Street home.

SUNSHINE ON HER SHOULDERS DALE BASS • STAFF REPORTER • DALE@KAMLOOPSTHISWEEK.COM

When the sun rises in the morning, it beams down on Nancy Bepple’s home. The Nicola Street residence is bathed in sunshine by early morning, with all that energy being soaked up by the eight solar panels affixed to the front slope of the house. From there, the direct-current electricity goes up through coils and down the chimney to a series of eight mini-inverters that convert it to the alternating current she needs to power her home. While there’s a lot of technical description about the $8,000 system she installed, for Bepple, it’s simple to describe

• Better Construction • Juicier • Flare-Ups eliminated • Commercial grade steel parts • Patented infrared system

— she’s reducing her carbon footprint. “In the absence of strong government policy to address climate change, I needed to do something,” she said. It helped that Bepple was putting a new roof on her home so the work could all be done at one time. Her house is old, with two-by-four trusses, and

she wanted them reinforced to be sure the structure could hold the weight of the solar panels. Since she bought the house about a decade ago, she has used about 2,140 kilowattthours (kWh) annually. The house is small, just 850 square feet, and is home to just Bepple and her cat. See SURPLUS, A11

The B.C. Liberal government will work with ICBC over the next several months to reduce the sticker shock on a proposed increase to basic rates by as much as 6.7 per cent. The Crown corporation announced yesterday its proposed premium increase is being driven by the rising number and costs of injury claims. Persistent low interest rates are also reducing return on investments. “If we were to file our full application today, we would need to ask for a 6.7 per cent increase in basic insurance rates, in large part due to the unexpected and rapid escalation in the number of injury claims being reported to us in recent months,” ICBC’s CEO Mark Blucher said in a pre-

pared statement. ICBC’s bodily-injury costs topped $2 billion for the first time last year. They have increased by 64 per cent since 2008. Transportation Minister Todd Stone, who oversees the corporation, said the proposal submitted to the B.C. Utilities Commission is unacceptably high, but he would not commit to a target. Under ratesmoothing legislation brought in by his government, rates could vary this year from 3.7 per cent as a low to 6.7 per cent as a high. The ministry will work with ICBC. An expert in Crown corporations, Gordon Macatee, has also been brought in as part of the review. Optional insurance coverage increases are yet to be detailed, but are not expected to rise as much.

Kamloops Mounties are investigating a two-vehicle collision in Valleyview yesterday that claimed a life. Const. Jason Epp said the crash took place at the intersection of Highway 1 and Oriole Road at about 12:20 p.m.

While the cause of the crash is being investigated by RCMP, the deceased was in a white mini-van, which ended up facing east in the grass between Amsterdam Restaurant and Hub International Barton Insurance fronting the highway. A grey and white F-350 truck, also facing east, was wrapped around a light pole at the inter-

section of Highway 1 and Oriole Road. Epp said another person travelling in the van was injured, while police had no information about the driver or passengers of the truck at the time. A staff member at Amsterdam said she heard the crash, but no one in the restaurant saw what happened.

Assault charge against ICS CEO stayed CAM FORTEMS

STAFF REPORTER

cam@kamloopsthisweek.com

The Crown has stayed a charge of assault against the CEO of a Kamloops social agency. Interior Community Services (ICS) said Kelly Kelland will return to her position as CEO. The Crown entered a stay of proceedings on a charge of assault stemming from a domestic incident on July 8 this year at the Monte Creek home Kelland shared with her partner. Following a review of the file, prosecutor Chris Balison said the Crown determined there was not a substantial likelihood of a conviction on the charge. Shelly Bonnah, ICS’s acting CEO, said

Monday there is relief within the organization the charges were stayed and Kelland will return to her role as its leader. “Staff are fully aware of what’s going on and we support Kelly,” Bonnah said. Kelland could not be reached for comment. Kelland’s lawyer, David Paul, said publicity of the charge has been damaging to his client, a community leader and a member of Canada’s Olympic softball team in 1996. Kelland was inducted into the Kamloops Sports Hall of Fame in 2011, when she was 48, following her time playing softball at Ohio State University, where she set the university record for strikeouts in a season and where she also earned a teaching degree. “My client is relieved. Justice is done and the matter was resolved quickly,” Paul said. ICS’s board announced last week Kelland

would be on a leave until the matter was resolved. “She’s a person who, for 25 years, worked extremely hard to serve people in the community and she has a terrific reputation,” Paul said.

Workers rallied yesterday outside a Westsyde seniors’ housing development as part of a bid to increase wages they say are the lowest in the region and largely unchanged from five years ago. Last month, Hospital Employees’ Union workers at The Hamlets in Westsyde voted 85 per cent in favour of a strike. The two sides are in mediation in Vancouver in a bid to sign a new contract, which expired earlier this year. The union said wages in 2010 ranged from $17 to $18 an hour. Today, they are $17.50 to $18 an hour. Those numbers have resulted in a turnover of staff of 50 per cent since January last year. Gayle Murphy, a care-aide who has worked at The Hamlets for five-and-a-half years, said she can count 50 staff who have left in the past year. Care-aides starting out are typically casual and work two to three jobs, she said. When they obtain more hours, they move to more lucrative facilities. Public facilities pay in the order of $22 an hour.

CAM FORTEMS/KTW The Hamlets at Westsyde resident Lyle Roberts chats yesterday morning at a union rally with care-aide Gayle Murphy. Care-aides like Murphy are pushing for an increase in wages.

“If they’re at another facility making more, that’s usually where they end up,” she said. HEU representative John Bakema said Surrey-based owner H&H Total Care Services Inc. “cried poverty” during the last contract, saying it could not afford higher rates of pay. “This is a public demonstration to support members for a fair

contract,” he said. A company representative could not be reached for comment yesterday. It describes itself as a “faithbased health-care management company” and operates in Surrey and Kamloops. Resident Lyle Roberts said he has spoken with members from the Van Ryk family, which owns

H&H, telling them they need to boost wages. “It’s a great place, otherwise I wouldn’t be here,” said Roberts, who lives on the assisted living side of the development. “[But] people who own this place offered 10 cents an hour — it’s a disgrace. They’re already behind other old folks homes in Kamloops.”

Water Conservation Tips

Sex offender loses appeal

With the level 4 drought rating in our community, the City of Kamloops will be reducing water use by 30% in our parks. We encourage all residents to decrease their water usage as well.

IN 2010, POLICE FOUND THOUSANDS OF CHILD-PORN IMAGES, VIDEOS ON DAVID CAZA’S COMPUTER

from the 2015 ECOSmart Team

Level 4 means conditions are extremely dry and that water supply is insufficient to meet socio-economic and ecosystem needs. Water levels in streams, rivers and lakes are at record lows and are having a negative impact on fish and ecosystems. Water conservation is everyone’s responsibility. Here are a few tips to increase your water conservation efforts: • Reduce how long you irrigate your lawn by 30% - For example, if you normally water for 60 minutes, only water for 40 minutes • Irrigate during the coolest part of the day to prevent evaporation - early morning hours are best • Leave your grass 2-3 inches tall • Leave grass clippings on your lawn to retain moisture • Don’t use your toilet as a garbage can • Take showers in 5 minutes or less

A sex offender who hijacked the Internet account of a former roommate to share child pornography had no reasonable expectation of privacy from police searches, the B.C. Court of Appeal has ruled. David Caza was sentenced in August 2012 for possessing child pornography, distributing child pornography and breaching a court order. He was sentenced to seven years in jail and declared a longterm offender. With time served, Caza was scheduled to be released last year. He appealed that conviction based on a Supreme Court of Canada decision in 2014 that found Internet users have a reasonable expecta-

tion of privacy regarding police requests for information from telecommunication companies. In this case, an Ontario investigator asked Shaw Communications Inc. to disclose customer information on a IP address linked to child pornography as part of a larger investigation that started in the United States. Shaw handed over the subscriber information voluntarily and it was traced it to an account in the name of Brian Feltham, a former roommate of Caza’s. When the roommate moved, Caza — who was already banned from using a computer to contact persons under 16 — assumed the account and paid it under Feltham’s name. RCMP later deter-

mined Caza lived at the Columbia Street address and raided the home. Investigators found 3,500 videos and 50,000 pictures on Caza’s computer, most of them verified to be depictions of children involved in sexual acts. Caza’s lawyer argued his client’s right to privacy under the Charter of Rights and Freedoms was breached, saying Shaw should not have handed over the subscriber

information without a search warrant. But, the B.C. Court of Appeal ruled Caza’s theft of the account removed that protection. “Mr. Caza did not have the permission of Mr. Feltham to use his Shaw account and, in fact, fraudulently hijacked his Internet account,” the court ruled. “Lack of permission in the circumstances of this case is sufficient to render any subjective impression of privacy Mr. Caza may have had objectively unreasonable.” Caza’s jail sentence was to be followed by a 10-year long-term supervision order in the community. He is registered as a sex offender for life and forever banned from visiting parks, playgrounds, swimming pools and schools.

Starting today, Kamloopsians can water their lawns at all hours of the day, any day of the week — but the city is hoping they won’t. Watering restrictions ended yesterday. They are in place every year from June 1 to Aug. 31, with oddnumbered addresses permitted to water on odd-numbered dates and even-numbered addressed allowed to do so on even-numbered dates. While the city considered extending

GUESS WHO’S IN THE HOSPITAL?!? WWW.KAMLOOPSTHISWEEK.COM/KFL-RIH

the watering restrictions into September, utilities manager Mike Firlotte said it ultimately decided to stick with the status quo because the end date is mandated by a city bylaw. Voluntary water restrictions, however, will stay in place for about another month. The city is asking residents to cut back water use by about 30 per cent, mainly by reducing irrigation, to protect salmon stocks in the North and South Thompson rivers. If the water level — already near historic lows this summer — drops too far, the riv-

ers can heat up to a degree that is lethal for migrating fish. Firlotte said residents are this far responding favourably to the city’s request. “We’re at about 65-million litres a day right now — and that’s significantly lower than in years past,” he said. “When we started restrictions, we were in probably the mid90s [millions of litres], so people have taken notice.” Firlotte said the parks department has also cut back on its watering. While residents will have more opportuni-

ties to legally water starting today, Firlotte said he’s hoping the lack of restrictions won’t make a measurable difference. “Typically, this time of year, we don’t see big differences between restrictions and not-restrictions, just because the weather’s getting cooler, the nights are getting cooler,” he said. Firlotte said the voluntary reductions could end earlier if September brings enough wet weather into the region. If it’s dry, the restrictions will likely last until the end of the month.

CAMPFIRE BAN LIFTED

Just in time for Labour Day Weekend campers, the campfire ban in the Kamloops Fire Centre has been lifted. The ban was removed at noon on Monday. It was rescinded due to recent widespread precipitation, which resulted in a decreased risk of wildfires in the region.

The fire danger rating is now primarily “low” to “moderate” throughout the fire centre. The campfire ban was enacted on July 3, two weeks earlier than last’s year’s prohibition, which went into effect on July 16. Last year, the campfire ban in the Kamloops Fire Centre was lifted on Aug. 21.

Declaration of immunization sought CMA BELIEVES SUCH A MOVE WILL HELP EDUCATE PUBLIC STAFF REPORTER

dale@kamloopsthisweek.com

The Canadian Medical Association (CMA) wants children to present a declaration of immunization before starting school. However, the CMA and the Interior Health Authority see the statement as not as a demand, but as a reason for a conversation. Dr. Trevor Corneil, an IHA medical officer of health, said while there is no doubt vaccinations can prevent children from contracting serious illnesses, it’s important to remember parents who don’t opt for this usually have concerns. By addressing them, he said, oftentimes the issues can be resolved. At the CMA meeting where the statement was made, its president noted the organization is not calling for man-

datory vaccination. Instead, it hopes the call for a declaration of immunization leads to education for those parents who are not strongly anti-vaccine, but who have neglected for various reasons to follow the recommended schedule. Corneil said one of the biggest reasons behind the proposal is the current group of parents of children entering school have probably never had mumps, measles, chicken pox, epiglottitis, diphtheria, polio — or any other childhood diseases vaccines can prevent. Calling the CMA’s idea helpful, Corneil said the IHA prefers to talk with the 25 to 30 per cent of people in the area it covers who opt out of vaccinations.

The Kamloops rate is slightly lower, at 20 to 25 per cent not being vaccinated. The ideal IHA rate, Corneil said, would be 85 to 90 per cent of children vaccinated. Corneil said there are usually concerns involving people’s belief systems, knowledge or values and those worries need to be acknowledged. Dr. Perry Kendall, the province’s chief health officer, said Canada does not have mandatory vaccinations, but noted some states do, with California requiring mandatory vaccinations starting in 2016. There are medical exemptions for health reasons. Kendall said he is surprised there hasn’t been a vocal backlash

in those U.S. states. “Because I’m sure there would be one here,” he said. Kendall said experience has shown parents who do not vaccinate their children rush to do so if an outbreak of a childhood disease occurs. Corneil recalled his years as a medical student, when it would not be unusual to see three or four serious cases of whooping cough in one night in an ER. He can also recall cases in which children’s throats had closed off from epiglottitis — one of the diseases the haemophilus influenzae type b (HIB) vaccine addresses. “And they needed tracheotomies,” Corneil said. Health Minister

Terry Lake said providing vaccination records at the school level would help to improve information sharing between schools and public health units. “That is why staff from each ministry are currently working to identify how existing tools could be used to facilitate this reporting,” Lake said. “In addition, medical health officers already have the ability to order non-vaccinated children to not attend school during outbreaks, if needed.” Corneil said the IHA has had to close schools about twice a year due to disease outbreaks. Schools are required to report any outbreaks involving a large group of children or 10 per cent of a class.

Officials not yet convinced changes in senior care needed ADAM WILLIAMS

STAFF REPORTER

adam@kamloopsthisweek.com

Following her mother’s death, Jeanne Olineck hoped she would see changes in how the healthcare system handles the province’s aging population. Government officials, however, aren’t convinced changes are warranted. Olineck’s mother, Matilda, 72, is believed to have fallen asleep with a lit cigarette at Glenfair Seniors Complex in downtown Kamloops last week, perishing in the resulting fire. In the days following Matilda’s death, Jeanne said she hoped the tragedy would lead to two changes: • That seniors with dementia, an illness Jeanne believes her mother had, not be allowed to refuse care or refuse a move to a residential-care facility. • That assessments used to determine a senior’s competency — assessments she believes failed her mother — will be re-evaluated. But, as Health Minister Terry Lake and Seniors Advocate Isobel Mackenzie agree, Olineck’s case does not seem to reveal systemic issues in the province’s care of seniors. “Well, first of all, I just can’t imagine the pain the family must be going through, having lost their mom in this way,” Lake told KTW. “Having said that, we do have assessments that are done and my

multiple assessments despite her daughter’s assertion she should not be living alone. While Matilda’s death has led to some questions about the adequacy of the assessments, Lake said it has not been his experience there is a systemic problem. “I’m certainly no expert, but that is not something that I have encountered, that the assessments aren’t setting the bar high enough for people,” he said. Mackenzie agreed, noting the tests are internationally validated. While conceding assessments aren’t perfect, she noted there is no blood test that would make competency a black and white issue. In fact, Mackenzie’s office has conducted studies that have revealed a portion of the senior population living in residential care could instead be supported independently in the community. Mackenzie noted it’s not as simple as erring on the side of putting more people in residential care. “This is a challenge that those of us who have worked with seniors in the community see all the time,” she said. “This tug between sons and daughters who love their moms and dads and want to see them safe and sound, and the mom and dads who want to live independently, knowing that that will bring with it some risk. “That’s not a tension that can be resolved by governments.”

understanding is, in this case, she was assessed and deemed to be competent and did not want to go into residential care. “We have to respect the wishes of people.” Lake said the health-care system cannot deprive seniors of their independence once they reach a certain age. As long as individuals are deemed capable, Lake said, they should be allowed to continue living on their own. Mackenzie agreed with Lake and said giving doctors or families more power in determining the living situations of the elderly would be heading down a slippery slope. It’s a change her office — which is focused on advocating for seniors, monitoring services and making recommendations about system-wide issues — will not support. “Seniors are entitled to make decisions about how they want to live, just like you and I are,” Mackenzie said. “Those decisions might include a lifestyle of living in a way that puts a person at risk, but you and I make those decisions as well, in terms of how we live. “She [Matilda] wanted to live independently. She was at risk living independently — that is very clear, she was at risk — but so are a lot of people who are 42 and 52 and 22.” At the heart of the concerns surrounding Matilda’s care was her competency.

Drivers to face more road construction ANDREA KLASSEN

STAFF REPORTER

andrea@kamloopsthisweek.com

Traffic delays are coming to two more Kamloops neighbourhoods this week as construction projects begin on Aberdeen Drive and Dallas Drive. Work on Dallas Drive begins tomorrow when contractor Acres Enterprises

begins installing a new sanitary main between O’Connor and Silver Stream roads, where the sewer system is at capacity. The $1.3-million project will see 1,400 metres of new sewer installed, along with roadworks and the construction of a sidewalk and gutter. Crews will begin by milling the road on the north

side of Dallas Drive, said transportation co-ordinator Colleen Lepik, with singlelane, alternating traffic from 7:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. on weekdays. The road will reopen to two-lane traffic at night. Aberdeen Drive, meanwhile, is up for rehabilitation between Pacific Way and the Kamloops-

Princeton Highway. The $761,159 project will see contractor Dawson Construction Ltd. mill and repave the road, install leftturn bays at Van Horne Drive and Abbeyglen Way and add bike lanes between Van Horne and Pacific Way. Construction starts this week and will run from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. Mondays to

Saturdays, with the possibility of additional night work. The city is advising drivers to expect delays in both construction areas for the next several weeks. Meanwhile, work continues into September on two major projects — Overlanders Bridge and Columbia Street between Third and Sixth avenues.

Psychiatric hospital wants more time to review Butler STAFF REPORTER

MENTAL STATE IN MURDER CASE BEING QUESTIONED

A 42-year-old man who claims he killed his former girlfriend because he was fighting with a demon was sent for further psychiatric review Monday in B.C. Supreme Court. The provincial forensic psychiatric hospital requested another 30 days to assess Christopher Butler’s mental state at the time Deanne Wheeler was beaten and strangled to death on December 30 last year. Butler has pleaded guilty to second-degree murder in the death of his former girlfriend. Representing himself in court, he admitted to strangling Wheeler with a rope saw and cord, beating her with a rock and stabbing her

to death. Wheeler, 26, was coaxed by Butler to meet with him at his apartment. He told police he was waiting for her with the rope saw and wanted to kill her because she was possessed by a demon. The Crown argues Butler was motivated by jealously and stalked Wheeler in the weeks before her death. Despite those admissions, Justice Keith Bracken said at a hearing earlier this month there is uncertainty whether Butler’s mental state at the time allowed him to form intent to murder. He is being assessed by psychiatrists to determine whether he could be declared not guilty

POLICY AT CORE OF CAMPAIGN

urn on your TV and change it to a news channel, open a paper or check the Internet. It’s a policy blizzard out there. In fact, we’d have trouble keeping up if we were covering nothing but announcements from the three major political parties. While the United States is suffering through a bizarre Republican primary that is light on issues and heavy on Donald Trump, Canada is a policy wonk’s dream. Just in the past week or so, we’ve seen the major party leaders make promises on Senate reform, Old Age Security, northern defence, business taxes and home-renovation tax credits. You could criticize some of these announcements. Many of them are on the small-scale side of things. Many have called for a debate on big issues — things like global warming — but the call could as easily have been about health care, the role of Canada’s military, post-secondary education or the future of our economy. So far, we haven’t seen too much discussion of those big issues. But, the party leaders have a long road ahead of them and they have to save some ammunition for the next two months when everyone is back from summer getaways and can really get down to paying attention to the news again. Right now, we’re actually pleased that, at the very least, there are issues on the table. Not all of these issues are minor, either; when Stephen Harper talks about expanding the Junior Canadian Rangers or Thomas Mulcair wants to return Old Age Security to 65 from 67 years, those are both indications of significant priorities for their potential governments. It may be a little piecemeal right now, but it could be worse. We could be talking about Donald Trump.

A spirit of innovation “Working together, ordinary people can perform extraordinary feats.” — B.J. Marshall

s a first-term trustee, I am in awe of School District 73 and how much good news there is

to share. I have learned a vibrant classroom, school or district doesn’t just happen. It is the result of diligent effort, extensive planning and the dedication of many people pulling together to deliver an extraordinary school experience to our children. Over the course of this past year, it was an honour to listen to musical performances given by our youth. I was impressed with the artistic talent showcased as part of young artists. Some students had only just found an artistic passion, while others demonstrated a deep engagement to their work and were eloquent in describing what their art was expressing. The students who came to the board office as part of Four Directions School left a memorable impression as they performed with enthusiastic vibrancy that left no one doubting they felt proud of their accomplishments. Equally memorable was their teacher, who radiated with pride after their performances. These are just a few of the many success stories in our district.

SHELLEY SIM

SD73

There are likely 100 more to tell, but the common thread is having teachers and administrators who believe in supporting our youth. Teachers are beyond generous with their abilities and are constantly finding new ways to invigorate the classroom experience. They also engage youth in extra-curricular opportunities. Throughout the year, there were many examples of youth who were encouraged to try something new and supported by teachers, families and community. Kids who, left to their thoughts, might have shied away from trying something new, were inspired by their teachers, encouraged by their family and community and eventually found their own stage on which to shine. Working together, our district is constantly finding ways to enrich the minds and experiences of our students. The opening of the NorKam Trades Centre is an excellent

example of a district that had a vision. It was a big goal that took years of perseverance, collaboration and teamwork — and the end result is an exceptional legacy. Meeting the students involved in the program was a delight. Their faces were shining as they described what it was like to really find their fit. Change is a long conversation and our district is fortunate to have people who believe in working toward excellence no matter the challenges. The one thing that consistently holds true is the people who work within the KamloopsThompson school district are committed to our youth. I would like to extend my sincere appreciation to everyone who works within the school district. Thank you to our many dedicated parents and community members who are invaluable sources of support. There is a spirit of innovation that exists in our district and there is no doubt that when we lean in, our learning environments will be places of great inspiration.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

MINE WILL ADD TO WATER WOES Editor: So, the Thompson rivers are at a Level 4 drought rating and the City of Kamloops is asking us to reduce our water consumption by 30 per cent. The city said the low water levels are negatively affecting migrating fish. Yet, KGHM, owner of the proposed Ajax mine, said it will use 15-billion litres of our water per year. If we are being asked to lower our water con-

sumption now, without having the added draw on our water supply a mine would create, what will we have to do if there is a big, water-guzzling mine on our doorstep? We all know the city will not be cutting off the mine’s water supply in times of low water levels (which is every summer in Kamloops) or in drought conditions. Kamloops residents will be the ones making the sacrifices.

I am not willing to deprive myself or my community of water so some foreign conglomerate can make piles of money off of our resources and then leave us high and dry. Not only will Ajax be too big, too close and too risky, it would also bring immense profit to a foreign company at our expense. Surely we’re smarter than that. Sandi Mikuse Kamloops

HAVE HAD ENOUGH OF PM HARPER DAVE EAGLES/KTW

A BLACK EYE FOR KAMLOOPS’ ROADS Editor: Has anyone else noticed the terrible job done when the city resurfaced Barnhartvale Road to get rid of the potholes? I was embarrassed when visitors from overseas and the Coast came to visit us and had to travel that road. It is just a mess. It looks like patchwork gone totally wrong. The yellow line is so covered with black tar it is barely visible. N. Fisher Kamloops

Editor: As a former compatriot of Prime Minister Stephen Harper’s in the Canadian Reform movement and a staunch supporter of it ever since, I have watched and waited through Harper’s three terms in office. In August, with the economy in recession, debt and unemployment at high levels and inflation beginning to show, Harper decided to seek a

fourth term as prime minister. With due respect, he is offering Canadians no acknowledgement of responsibility and no solutions — only more of the same as though it were good enough. I believe I speak for the majority of Canadians when I say enough is enough. Prime Minister Harper must retire now. Ted Joslin Kamloops

Editor: We seniors are struggling to stay in our homes longer and income splitting helps. NDP Leader Tom Mulcair has said many times he would eliminate income splitting in order to pay for extra police and add a million spaces for child care. How sweet it is to take away from the old to meet his goal. As an 87-year-old NDP voter, Mulcair has

A selection of comments on KTW stories, culled online RE: STORY: MCLEOD SAYS SHE WILL FOCUS ON GENERAL DEBATES:

“It’s not a big issue to everyone. I moved to Kamloops in 1994 and never had mail delivered to my door. Prior to that, I lived in Regina for four years and had a community mailbox there. “So, no door-to-door delivery for me for the past 25 years and it works just fine.” — posted by Rick “If you don’t attend public debates, your party should not be allowed to be on the ballot. “This is how people find out what the party stands for and who the local representative should be. “This should be illegal within a democratic society and result in the party’s removal from the election.” — posted by Saywhat?

NDP LOSS IS CONSERVATIVE GAIN lost my vote and given it to Stephen Harper! I see nothing in any of the parties’ platforms that will help seniors stay in their homes longer. With higher taxes,home repairs and rising bills, we will be taxed right out of our house. Does this sound like they are helping seniors stay in their homes longer? Lloyd Williams Kamloops

The restaurant that officially never closed is re-opening. Accolades Restaurant on the campus of Thompson Rivers University will be open again to provide a training ground for culinary-arts students and a place for Kamloopsians to dine. In January of 2014, culinaryarts instructor told KTW the award-winning eatery would be closed. A week later, the university said the faculty confirmation

was “based on wrong assumptions.” Instead, TRU vice-president advancement Christopher Seguin said, the restaurant in the culinary-arts building was being reviewed to find ways to make it more streamlined and “do more with less.” “After a one-year hiatus, time spent rethinking and retooling, a new and improved Accolades will be open for business,” culinary-arts chairman Ed Walker said this week in an announcement to faculty. Walker’s email said there will be special events and innovative menus using locally

sourced food and wines. “Industry loves our students because of the real-life kitchen and restaurant experience we provide,” Walker wrote. Maeghan Summers, who graduated from the university’s hotel and resort diploma program — and who is general manager and partner of the Noble Pig Brewhouse in downtown Kamloops — is returning to her alma mater to teach in the program. Accolades will be open Wednesday and Thursday evenings beginning on Sept. 16. To make a reservation, email accolades@tru.ca.

Chinook fishery limits opening A limited chinook fishery in the Kamloops area is open until Sept. 22. The fishery is open in the waters of Kamloops Lake and the Thompson River from the outlet of Kamloops Lake, downstream to fishing boundary signs located at Gold Pan Provincial Park. Anglers may catch four chinook per day, with only one being longer than 50 centimetres. Fishing is permitted during daylight hours only. There are, however, three closed locations: • Deadman: From the fishing boundary signs approximately one kilometre downstream of the Highway 1 bridge at Savona to the CN Rail bridge approximately 500 metres downstream of the confluence with Deadman Creek. • Juniper: From the fishing boundary signs approximately 1.5 kilometres downstream from Juniper Beach park approximately four kilometres to the fishing boundary signs. • Ashcroft: From the fishing boundary sign at the

GUESS WHO’S IN THE HOSPITAL?!? WWW.KAMLOOPSTHISWEEK.COM/KFL-RIH

upstream side of the mouth of the Bonaparte River to Highway 97C bridge in Ashcroft. Anglers fishing for chinook are required to take every measure possible to ensure that their fishing activities avoid impacts on sockeye salmon. Any sockeye encountered must be released with the least possible harm. Survival rates of sockeye released in this fishery are expected to be high. The Department of Fisheries and Oceans (DFO) said anglers should avoid using fishing methods that catch sockeye salmon and fish selectively, noting bottom bouncing with long leaders is not considered a selective fishing method and is discouraged. The DFO said recreational fishing opportunities in the Thompson River for pink salmon are anticipated later in the season when the abundance of pink salmon permits or the stock proportion of summer run sockeye through the area has decreased. For the 24 hour recorded opening and closure line, call toll-free 1-866-431-FISH (3474).

He said the goal at the end of a year is to have Bepple at an equilibrium or making a small profit from her solar system. He said there aren’t many houses in Kamloops using solar power, but noted as the cost of electricity continues to rise, installing a solar system will become more of a consideration. Bepple said she pondered the idea for a long time, noting a visit to her sister in the Netherlands helped her decide. The government there provides a financial incentive for houses to convert to solar power.

Bepple, a co-op co-ordinator at Thompson Rivers University, said the system Riverside Energy Systems sold her and installed should produce 2,000 kWh per year — but, in the first month of operation, it was already producing more electricity than she used. The surplus goes back to BC Hydro through her smart meter, which can record both power in from the provincial grid and power out from her system. Ben Giudici, a coowner of Riverside, said this measurement affects Bepple’s bills from BC Hydro, with the cost of the amount used — if any — reduced by the value of the extra energy she sends back into the grid.

North Shore pipeline to Kamloops STAFF REPORTER

sports@kamloopsthisweek.com

he North Shore Winter Club Winterhawks have become a major talent factory for the Kamloops Blazers. “It’s a winning organization,” Kamloops Blazers’ head coach Don Hay said of the North Vancouver minor hockey powerhouse. “Whether you’re an NHL team drafting out of junior or a junior team drafting out of bantam, you’re looking for teams that have won.” The Blazers’ top picks from the last three WHL Bantam Drafts are products of the Winterhawks’ bantam AAA program — forward Quinn Benjafield was the 19th overall pick in 2013, defenceman Nolan Kneen became the highest bantam-draft pick in club history when he was chosen third overall in 2014 and Jackson Shepard was the 23rd overall selection in this year’s draft. “The players that we drafted were key players on championship teams,” Blazers’ director of player personnel Matt Recchi said yesterday, the second day of main camp at the Sandman Centre. “These guys are leaders and very competitive guys. They’re physical and hard to play against. They know how to win. “If North Shore Winter Club has another kid in our wheelhouse next year, we’ll be taking them, too.” The Blazers also picked Kneen’s North Shore D-partner Conner McDonald in the 2014 draft, nabbing him 24th overall. Both 16-year-old rearguards are in the running to crack the Blazers’ roster this season on what is expected to be a young back end. “As a 16-year-old, it’s tough, but the way I’ve been playing is helping,” Kneen said. “I think me and C-Mack [McDonald] both have a good chance.” McDonald was injured at camp on Sunday and is out for tonight’s Blue vs. White intrasquad game at the Sandman Centre.

KTW FILE PHOTO

Forward Quinn Benjafield (right) played his minor hockey with the North Shore Winter Club Winterhawks before the Kamloops Blazers picked him 19th overall at the 2013 WHL Bantam Draft. His selection began a three-year run of Kamloops going to the North Shore well.

The severity of the upper-body injury to McDonald was not known as of KTW’s press deadline yesterday, but he will likely be out at least two weeks and perhaps longer. Kamloops brass cut the roster down to 42 players from 59 after yesterday’s practices and scrimmages. When the puck drops at 7 p.m. tonight, there will be a host of Blazers trying to impress and stake claims for roster spots. While Kneen and McDonald — both of whom saw limited WHL action last season — are on the bubble, Benjafield is a lock to feature prominently up front for Kamloops this season. The six-foot-one, 181-pound right-winger showed flashes of his potential last season, finishing the slate with five goals and 12 points in 53 games, and he is looking for an increased role in 2015-2016. Unfortunately for the 17-year-old from North Vancouver, he had an appendectomy

on Aug. 15 and did not skate at camp until yesterday. Benjafield spoke to the importance of his hockey upbringing with the Winterhawks. “We’ve all had the same coach, Jim Dinwoodie, and he’s doing a good job developing,” said Benjafield, who will not be in the lineup tonight. “They build character there and there’s a lot of skill development.” Marc McNulty is the only other injured veteran who will miss tonight’s game. He is recovering from a hairline fracture in his foot and is expected to return to the ice later this week. Shepard, the five-foot-eight, 154-pound forward from North Vancouver, is enjoying his first taste of life in the WHL as a 15-year-old. “It’s been unbelievable,” a smiling Shephard told KTW. “The coaching staff, the trainers, they’ve been treating me like a god and it’s been pretty humbling.

“The first day I was a bit nervous, but just trying to work as hard as I can to make an impression and make them proud they chose me.” Hay has taken notice of the diminutive forward who has drawn comparisons to Brendan Gallagher of the Montreal Canadiens. “At the B.C. Cup last year, I was really impressed by his competitiveness,” Hay said. “It’s the same thing he brought here and the staple of his game is how hard he plays and how he competes with and without the puck. “He doesn’t make the hockey team this year, but he’s going to learn a lot about what it takes to make the team.” Shepard is expected to play this season in the B.C. Major Midget League with the Vancouver Northwest Giants. The Winterhawks are two-time defending Western Canadian Bantam Hockey Championship winners and made it to the final in 2013. Three of the top five picks in the 2014 bantam draft were Winterhawks — Jordy Bellerive second overall to Lethbridge, Kneen third overall to Kamloops and Justin Almeida fifth overall to Prince George. “I’m just thrilled for them,” Dinwoodie told the North Shore News on draft day. “They’re just great young men. They really are exceptional young people. We’ve spent two years together so we know each other really well. They’re just great kids and I know they must just be thrilled today.” Benjafield, Shepard, Kneen and McDonald are looking to bring some of that winning pedigree to the Tournament Capital, which hasn’t had too much to cheer about over the last two seasons. “It’s the skill development there and they teach you how to work,” the affable Shepard said. “You look at the guys that are here from North Shore and they’re workhorses. I just want to be no different from them. “This has been a hell of a time.”

Tyler Ward is making up for lost time at Kamloops Blazers’ training camp. The 16-year-old forward from Kamloops suffered a scary injury — his Achilles tendon was cut by a skate — days before suiting up for camp with the Blazers last season. He went under the knife and was forced to rehab. When he returned to the ice, he toiled through a losing season with the Thompson Blazers of the B.C. Major Midget League, with the club posting a record of 2-35-3. “It was a rough year for the team, but I just tried to get everything I could out of it,” said Ward, who notched 14 goals and 27 points in 40 games with Thompson in 2014-2015. “I didn’t get to be at camp last year because I was injured, so everything here is new to me and it’s been a great experience I won’t forget.” Ward, picked by Kamloops in the 11th round, 222nd overall, of the 2014 WHL Bantam Draft, is among the 16-year-old forwards who have impressed Blazers’ director of player personnel Matt Recchi. Sherwood Park product Erik Miller, picked by the Blazers in Round 3 of the 2014 bantam draft, has also turned heads throughout camp. “They’ve both showed that they’re real close to being Kamloops Blazers,” Recchi said.

Beat THe HeAT THIs suMMeR

“Erik is a powerful forward that has a real competitive side. “Tyler has done his thing. He’s a skilled forward that’s small and quick and elusive. Both bring something different to the table.” The Blue versus White intrasquad game tonight marks the end of training camp and it will be an important proving ground for both players in their quest to crack the roster. “There is a chance that maybe one or two [16-year-old] forwards step in,” Recchi told KTW yesterday. “It’s going to be a battle for them for the rest of today and tomorrow to see what we as a staff feel, to see who’s ready or if anyone’s ready.” Ward is the grandson of Barry McPhee, the Kamloops skip who guided Team B.C. to a 4-7 record at the 1996 Brier at Riverside Coliseum. “He’s an interesting guy,” Ward said of McPhee. “He’s taught me a lot about the mental game. I know he wasn’t the greatest at it and he’s told me some stories I never hope to do.” The hometown kid will likely have a louder cheering section than Miller at tonight’s game, scheduled to get underway at 7 p.m. at the Sandman Centre. “I really do want to play here,” Ward said. “I’ve grown up watching this team and it would be a great opportunity, if I could ever wear this jersey.”

Camp corner

• The Blazers cut their main-

camp roster to 42 players from 59 yesterday afternoon. • On the roster are 19 players from B.C., nine from Alberta, 10 from Saskatchewan, two from Manitoba, one from the Czech Republic and one from Slovakia — 25 forwards, 14 defencemen and three goaltenders. • The Blazers signed 15-yearold D-man Luke Zazula to a standard WHL contract on Saturday. “Luke is a skilled defenceman that we are very excited about,” Recchi said. “His compete level is high and he is a very good skater. We look forward to watching his development and believe he will be an impactful player for us down the road.” The five-foot-eight, 155-pound blue liner has drawn comparisons to Kamloops product Joe Hicketts. • Camp was not short on hockey bloodlines: Tyler Chyzowski (nephew to Blazer alumni Dave Chyzowski), Hayden Hirsch (son of alumni Corey Hirsch), Max Kryski (younger brother to current Blazer forward Jake Kryski), Tylor Ludwar (younger brother to former Saskatoon Blades’ defenceman Kane Ludwar), Caige Sterzer (cousin to alumni Aspen Sterzer) and Justin Verveda (younger brother to current Blazer defenceman Travis Verveda) were in attendance. • There were 18 Kamloops products at rookie camp, which wrapped up on Saturday. • KTW continues its five-part pre-season series with a look at the blue line on Thursday.

Morgan surprises with national silver ADAM WILLIAMS

STAFF REPORTER

adam@kamloopsthisweek.com

A few of Zach Morgan’s fellow paddlers were shocked to see him line up for the C1 1,000metre race at the Canadian Sprint Canoe and Kayak Championships in Ottawa last week. They were even more surprised to see him wearing a silver medal when the race was over. “I kind of came out of nowhere — not too many people were expecting me to do anything because they hadn’t seen me in over a year and a half,” Morgan told KTW. “It was kind of nice being in that underdog situation.” Last year, Morgan was hit by the injury bug more so than at any other point in his career. In the summer of 2014, he had to pull out of both the Canadian championships and the 2014 Pan American Sprint Canoe Championships after tearing his intercostal muscles paddling through a rib injury. Before that, it was a freak accident on a dock in Georgia — he was impaled by a chunk of wood that broke off in his upper thigh and had to be cut out by doctors

Pack wrap preseason The WolfPack men’s soccer team will enter the Canada West regular season boasting a 5-1-2 record. Playing in its final game of an exhibition tournament in Kelowna on Saturday, Thompson Rivers University put up a scoreless draw against the Douglas College Royals. With their exhibition slate now complete, the WolfPack will turn attention to the regular season, which begins on Sept. 12 at Hillside Stadium against the Trinity Western University Spartans. The WolfPack women’s soccer team finished its pre-season with a 1-1-1 record. TRU lost its final pre-season match on Saturday — 3-1 to the MacEwan University Griffins in Prince George. The Wolfpack will open their regular season on Friday on the road to face the Manitoba Bisons and Winnipeg Wesmen.

Zach Morgan of the Kamloops Canoe and Kayak Club found the podium at the Canadian Sprint Canoe and Kayak Championships last week in Ottawa.

— and a flu bug he couldn’t kick that kept him off the water. So, while he had hoped to hit the podium a few more times in Ottawa this year — he finished fourth in the C1 500m and, competing with partner Hank Wang, who was paddling through injury, seventh in the C2 500m and eighth in the C2 1,000m — Morgan said he couldn’t complain.

He was happy just to be back and competing against a few athletes he hadn’t seen since the national championships two years ago. “This year, I’m getting back into it and getting into the swing of things again,” Morgan said. Earlier this year, he dominated at the Western Canada Summer Games in Wood

Buffalo, Alta., winning six medals — one gold, four silver and one bronze. “This race here was my first real race against some hard competition.” With the national championships in the books, Morgan said he will take September to relax and recuperate, before embarking on his next training cycle. As a 19-year-old, he will make the jump from under-19 to under-23 competition next season. He said the next few years might not hold as many podium finishes as years past — he’ll be competing against athletes three and four years his senior — but the early 20s aren’t just about medals. “The next few years are really just about developing and getting faster and then hoping to snag an under-23 spot in the next few years,” Morgan said, referring to a spot on the Canadian national team.

“It’s a really late-blooming sport.” As for future goals, the Kamloops native still has his sights set on competing for Canada at the Olympic level, though a few years down the road. Morgan said paddlers tend to peak in their late 20s and early 30s and the 2020 Olympic Summer Games in Tokyo, Japan, by which time he’ll be just 24, would be the soonest he could expect to wear the Maple Leaf in a Games. So for right now, the focus is the immediate future. After landing on the national podium in his first full season returning from injury, he’s hoping he can turn a few more heads next season. “I’m happy I can take a year off and still come in and do pretty well, after missing a season,” he said. “I can’t be too mad about that. “Hopefully, next year will be even better.”

Gaglardi expresses support for struggling Sydor MARTY HASTINGS

STAFF REPORTER

sports@kamloopsthisweek.com

Tom Gaglardi has his friend’s back. After being arrested in Minnesota for drunk driving with his 12-year-old son in the passenger seat on Aug. 20, Kamloops Blazers’ part-owner Darryl Sydor has checked into rehab to seek treatment for alcoholism. “We are behind Darryl 100 per cent,” said Gaglardi, the Blazers’ majority owner, speaking on behalf of the local major junior franchise. “We are glad that he is seeking the help he needs to beat this disease that

affects so many.” Sydor, the former prolific NHL defenceman and current assistant coach with the Minnesota Wild, voluntarily entered the NHL/NHL Players’ Association Substance

Abuse/Behavioral Health Program and admitted himself into an inpatient centre in Malibu, Calif., on Aug. 22. He will stay in the centre for at least 30 days. Meanwhile, the Wild have yet to announce if Sydor will return to the team’s bench this season, although head coach Mike Yeo expressed his support in an interview with the Minneapolis Star Tribune. “He was great last year,” Yeo told the newspaper. “Unfortunately, he had a setback here, but I know he can get back to where he was last year. We just want to do

everything we can to support him and give him a chance to get better.” Yeo’s son, Kyler, was picked by the Blazers in Round 4 of the 2014 WHL Bantam Draft. Police observed Sydor driving erratically and pulled him over at about 5:15 p.m., according to the criminal complaint filed in Anoka County District Court. His blood-alcohol level later tested at 0.30 per cent, more than four times the legal limit. Sydor’s eyes were bloodshot and watery, his speech was slow and slurred and he struggled to find his driver’s licence even

though it was in his wallet. “On several occasions, defendant stopped and told his

In the meantime, he has all of our support as we continue to work towards a strong postseason for the Blue Jays.’’ Beeston, from nearby Welland, Ont., was famously the first employee of the Blue Jays when Toronto was awarded an American League franchise in 1976. He rose through the ranks of the organization, becoming president in 1989 and chief

He was eager to try out his English skills with anyone that he encountered, and always greeted them with his welcoming smile and cheerful personality. He was ready and willing to lend a helping hand to anyone in need in Canada or India. He was a devout Sikh, and a regular visitor to the Sikh Temple, playing the dholki whenever he was able to. His generosity and loving nature will forever be remembered and cherished by all.

MARGARET SHANNIK

Joan was born in Leicester, England on May 19, 1922. Family and friends were very important to her and she always had time for a chat. Joan loved people and she was quick to lend a helping hand. Joan was raised in Squamish and later moved to Vancouver Island after marrying John Knight. In 1962, she returned to Squamish where she worked for many years as a Post Office employee. Joan had a very adventurous spirit and, in 1969, she traveled to Yellowknife, NWT where she subsequently met and married Herman. She found her niche working as a tour guide for Raven Tours and she quickly became a fixture in Yellowknife. Together with Herman, she retired to BC in 1987 and took up residence in Logan Lake. Joan worked with the Seniors Club, she enjoyed gardening and, most of all, she loved to clip interesting articles out of the newspapers to send to everyone. For the last several years, Joan had kept busy sewing cloth handbags for Habitat for Humanity and filling them with useful articles to send off to Honduras.

Joan will be sadly missed by all. There will be no formal service by request.

If I knew it would be the last time I’d hear your voice lifted up in praise, I would video tape each action and word, so I could play them back day after day. If I knew it would be the last time, I could spare an extra minute to stop and say “I love you,” instead of assuming you would KNOW I do. If I knew it would be the last time I would be there to share your day, Well I’m sure you’ll have so many more, so I can let just this one slip away. For surely there’s always tomorrow to make up for an oversight, and we always get a second chance to make everything just right. There will always be another day to say “I love you,” And certainly there’s another chance to say our “Anything I can do?”

But just in case I might be wrong, and today is all I get, I’d like to say how much I love you and I hope we never forget. Tomorrow is not promised to anyone, young or old alike, And today may be the last chance you get to hold your loved one tight. So if you’re waiting for tomorrow, why not do it today? For if tomorrow never comes, you’ll surely regret the day, That you didn’t take that extra time for a smile, a hug, or a kiss and you were too busy to grant someone, what turned out to be their one last wish. So hold your loved ones close today, and whisper in their ear, Tell them how much you love them and that you’ll always hold them dear Take time to say “I’m sorry,” “Please forgive me,” “Thank you,” or “It’s okay.” And if tomorrow never comes, you’ll have no regrets about today. © Norma Cornett Marek ~ 1989

DAY CARE

HEALTHY STARTS: HOMEMADE BABY, TODDLER FOOD Give your family a jumpstart on good nutrition by introducing your children to a nourishing, whole-food diet at a young age. Teaching them to prefer the taste of real foods lays the foundation for lifelong healthy eating habits. The following tips will help to ensure children consumes high-quality, healthy ingredients.

First bites are a big milestone in a baby’s life. The Canadian Paediatric Society recommends starting solid food around six months of age. After introducing children to single-grain, iron-fortified cereal, you can experiment with different vegetable and fruit purees, tailoring each meal to your child’s

preference and needs. To make your own purees, invest in a quality blender such as the Vitamix Total Nutrition Center, which easily blends wholefood ingredients into a silky, smooth texture and offers a convenient way to create hearty, nutritious meals. There are no strict rules about introducing a fruit

or vegetable first. Some choose to introduce fruits first because the sweet taste mirrors breast milk, while others like to start with vegetables, so the child will be more likely to accept the taste. Whichever you choose, remember to only introduce one new food every three to four days because it will help you determine whether your child has a reaction to a certain ingredient. As little ones grow, continuing good eating habits can be tricky. Toddler years are a time of transition and independence, when they learn to eat table food and experiment with a variety of tastes and textures. Kids are also notoriously fussy during this time and may reject some of the most nutritious foods. Serving children homemade fruit and vegetable juices and smoothies is one of the simplest and most delicious ways to fit several servings of healthy produce into their diets. You can also blend

whole meals such as cooked chicken and rice, so toddlers can eat the same foods as you. Keep in mind the spice levels to prevent upsetting a child’s stomach. Making your own baby and toddler food offers

many benefits. It allows you to know exactly what you’re feeding little ones, increases the nutritional value and freshness of foods and eliminates additives — all with a lower overall cost. — News Canada

VANCOUVER — Had Vancouver resident Sherrell Hutchingson been standing a foot to the side while opening her car door during Saturday’s vicious windstorm, it’s unlikely she’d be able to tell her closecall story of a large tree narrowly missing her as it crushed her vehicle. “It was scary,’’ she said. “It went right by my head. “It was like a big crack and the tree just snapped . . . and fell right on my car.’’ Hutchingson’s experience was part of a myriad reported incidents of other smashed vehicles and wrecked roofs follow-

ing a brutal windstorm that tore down trees and branches, wreaking havoc across southwestern B.C. and leaving, at its height, an estimated 500,000 people without power. Eighty-kilometrean-hour winds buffeted the Greater Vancouver Area, at one point toppling a tree onto a woman in her 40s who was walking with her daughter in Surrey. The RCMP described the woman’s injuries as life-threatening. Sadhu Johnston, Vancouver’s deputy city manager, described the scale of the storm as “unprecedented’’ and estimated it would take weeks for the city to clean up the debris. “This is probably one of the most intense

storms that we’ve had over the past decade,’’ he said. “I think the drought combined with the high winds really impacted us,’’ he added. “The drought led to more trees coming down, which led to more power outages. So it kind of compounded.’’ The cost of the extensive property damage and the bill for cleaning up the huge mess has yet to be tallied. In terms of damage, park board official Brian Quinn said timing was the biggest contributing factor. Such high winds typically arrive in the fall or winter when trees are bare, he explained. “This time of year with the canopies com-

pletely full of leaves, they act more as a wind sail and catch more of the wind,’’ Quinn said. The bulk of the outages occurred in the Greater Vancouver Area and BC Hydro said as of yesterday morning about 90,000 customers were still waiting for the power to be restored. Strong winds also swept through Rock Creek in the southern interior, where a 44-square-kilometre wildfire destroyed 30 homes earlier this month. The storm triggered wind warnings from Environment Canada, forced the temporary closure of Stanley Park and slowed ferry service between Victoria and the mainland.

Canadian rock band Prism will be performing at Bailey’s Pub, 1050 Eighth St., on Friday, Sept. 11. Tickets are $50 and are available in advance from the venue.

ROCK ‘TIL YOU DROP WITH PRISM JESSICA WALLACE STAFF REPORTER jessica@kamloopsthisweek.com

l Harlow still runs into people who remember him falling on stage during a performance in Victoria. It was close to home for one of the original members of the Canadian rock band Prism — he lives in North Vancouver and has resided in the Lower Mainland for most of his life — and he is reminded now and then when running into fans who attended the show. It was at the peak of the band’s initial success, Harlow said. “I guess I was doing something stupid like running backwards or something across the stage,” he told KTW in a phone interview, noting he tripped over the monitor.

“To this very day, once in a while, I’ll bump into somebody who says, ‘I remember seeing you fall over.’” “I say, ‘Oh, that’s great.’” Mistakes, however, are part of what keeps things fresh for Harlow all these years later. Prism, which formed in the 1970s, hasn’t released any new music in seven years, though Harlow said the band is keen to work on a couple of songs to be released as singles. But, he still enjoys performing the old hits. “Every night, it’s a fresh interpretation,” Harlow said. “The guitar solo is going to be a little bit different.” And, when it comes to performing in front of a live audience. “You might make a mistake, you might fall on your face,” he said with a laugh. The band is performing at Bailey’s Pub on Friday, Sept. 11 and Harlow

Small isn’t the only tie Harlow has to the city. He recalls his first “real road trip,” a gig in Kamloops when he was about 15 or 16 years old, he said. These days, Prism runs into other veteran classic-rock bands on the road from time to time, like Streetheart or Trooper, and they look to the future through each other. “Once in a while we’ll do a, ‘So what do you think, do we keep on doing it?’” he said. “I’m somewhat encouraged by my cohort. If they can do it, so can I.” Asked if there’s an end in sight to his musical endeavours, Harlow said, “rock ‘til you drop.” “You get to that point, you know you’re a lifer. “Some guys hang up their spurs and the rest of us are too dumb to quit.” Tickets are $50 and are available in advance at the pub, 1050 Eighth St.

has ties to Kamloops. His current to-do list includes giving old bandmate Henry Small, who resides in the River City, a call. Small is prominent in the Kamloops music scene — a morning-show host for 98.3 CIFM and organizer of Music in the Park, among others ventures — and was lead singer of Prism for a stint in the early 1980s. Harlow said it was great working with Small, calling him a “pro,” and he’s hoping the two might even jam together again during Prism’s show in Kamloops. “Fingers crossed,” Harlow said. Small did just that a few years ago when he opened for the band he used to front at the Coast Kamloops Hotel and Conference Centre. “Henry got up and sang Don’t Let Him Know with us and Young and Restless,” Harlow said. “What a pleasure.”

REVIEW: SOMETHING TO LIVE FOR DALE BASS

STAFF REPORTER

dale@kamloopsthisweek.com

t’s probably a good thing Barney Bentall’s hay baler got clogged one day. If it hadn’t, he might not have stopped what he was doing, not heard the song playing on the radio, not listened to Gin Palace and, faced with farming equipment that wasn’t being co-operative, might not have decided a return to rock and roll is easier than ranching.

If that day never happened, the hundreds who braved unseasonable cold and the threat of rain on Friday to hear him — backed by the Legendary Hearts — perform as part of Sun Peaks’ outdoor concert series might have missed a special evening. Simply put, Bentall, who started in the music business 35 years ago, was fantastic. Yes, it was a trip through hits from a couple of decades ago — Something to Live For, Life Could be Worse, Doin’ Fine, Do

Ya, I’m Shattered and, of course, Gin Palace — but there was a freshness, a joy in the concert, something greater than the smiles of the quintet on stage. Maybe it’s the fact Bentall and his longtime band do limited shows. Maybe it was having Cam Bowman work his magic on the keyboards. Bowman is now a plastic surgeon. The band never replaced him when he returned to university. Perhaps it was staring out from the stage at the scenery of the mountain commu-

nity, seeing deer in the distance and a bear, that Bentall said “must like rock ‘n roll,” that brought energy to the show. A B.C. boy with ties to Kamloops and the region, it was obvious the province remains dear to Bentall’s soul, particularly when he took the stage alone to do the Stompin’ Tom Connors song My British Columbia Home. Long after the band returned for a threesong encore, many were still yelling out from the hillside.

It was a night to remember — and a reminder to him, Bentall said, that he’s really not meant for a Cariboo ranch life. He loves the music, the audience and the applause — and he earned it every time he stepped up to the microphone. • The weekend included another headliner, with Colin James taking the stage on Saturday. There’s really no need to review a man who has been through Kamloops often. After all, it’s Colin James. ‘Nuff said.

Clockwise from top left: Fans braved chilly weather at Sun Peaks over the weekend to catch Barney Bentall (middle) and the Legendary Hearts and Colin James (right). The headliners were part of a concert series. ALLEN DOUGLAS PHOTOS/KTW

A GLANCE AT FORD’S COLDWEATHER TESTING

Honda has received kudos for its SUV, the 2016 Pilot, from the U.S. Insurance Institute for Highway Safety, after earning top ratings in five crash test modes.

2016 Honda Pilot earns top safety pick

he fully redesigned 2016 Honda Pilot has received a 2015 top safety pick rating from the U.S. Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) when equipped with optional front crash prevention. It brings Honda one step closer to fulfilling the com-

pany’s goal to be the first three-row mainstream SUV with the highest available U.S. government and IIHS safety ratings. This distinction includes a top rating of good in five IIHS crash test modes including a top score in the institute’s stringent small overlap frontal crash test. The designation is awarded to vehicles that also have

an available front crash-prevention system that earns an advanced or superior rating from the Institute. The 2016 Pilot offers an available front crash-prevention system that earns a top rating of superior. Available on Pilot is Honda Sensing that can help improve drivers’ situational awareness with its various systems, which

include the collision mitigation braking system with forward collision warning, lane keeping assist system, adaptive cruise control, lane departure warning and road departure mitigation. These systems benefit from the adoption of a sensor fusion technology integrating the capabilities of a windshield-mounted monocular camera and front

grille-mounted millimetre wave radar system to provide enhanced sensing with the ability to identify and anticipate multiple collision scenarios, including those involving a pedestrian. When the system anticipates a collision or road departure, it can initiate warnings and, in certain instances, initiate emergency braking and steering.

Each year, Ford brings global prototype vehicles and a team of engineers to the world’s largest climatic test facility — McKinley Climatic Laboratory at Eglin Air Force Base in the Florida panhandle — to push the limits of extreme cold-weather testing in order to improve vehicle quality and performance. In this all-weather facility, used by the U.S. Air Force to test every aircraft in the Department of Defense inventory, Ford engineers can get temperatures down as low as -40 F in 10 hours. The hot, humid climate of northwest Florida has no impact on conditions inside the lab, making it ideal for simulating winter. So, when it’s the middle of a development cycle, or the middle of summer, and there’s no access to a natural environment where engineers can evaluate whether a vehicle is starting as robustly as it should in below-freezing temperatures, McKinley Climatic Lab allows Ford to simulate, calibrate and validate — all under one roof.

BACK TO SCHOOL

Get ready for kindergarten During the weeks and months after the first bell rings on the opening day of school, pay close attention to your kindergartner. This is a crucial year for him and your attention to his progress helps a lot. Getting a good start in kindergarten can predict future success. If your fiveyear-old enjoys her early introduction to school, chances are the coming years will be equally rewarding.

Practical Matters

Make sure your little one knows his address and telephone number. Be sure the school authorities have your office phone number and cell phone number. Write your child’s name in everything your child takes to school. This includes sneakers, jackets, hats, mittens, scarves, boots and lunch boxes. Teach your child how to hang his coat on a hook or in a cubby. Make sure he recognizes his personal belongings.

FIND IT HERE FIND IT FAST

Good Behaviour

Reinforce your kindergartner’s ability to follow direction. Help at home by giving her one- and twostep tasks to complete. For example, ask your child to put her pajamas in the clothes hamper, hang up her towel or set the supper table. Reinforce manners at home. Like everyone, teachers and classmates respond better to “please,” “thank you” and “excuse me” than to direct commands. Encourage your child to share his toys with other kids, take turns, and pick up after himself.

Good Health

Make sure your child goes to bed early and gets a good night sleep. Send her off to school after a nutritious breakfast — never let her skip it. Dress your child properly. This means rain gear in inclement weather and warm clothes when the

GROUP CLASSES

Sunrise Program for ages 2-3 Music for Young Children Program for ages 3-8 Suzuki Violin for ages 4-9 Voice Classes for ages 5-7 Chamber Music Classes Youth String Orchestra temperature drops. Don’t forget that most schools encourage outdoor recess even in cold weather. If your child has a cold or is running a fever, keep him home. You may not feel this is necessary, but it’s an extra precaution to insure the health of the other children. Schedule regular visits with your doctor and dentist before or after school hours. This is less disruptive to the class and the child.

Early Learning

Make sure your child understands that learning is fun — not a chore.

Ask older kids to monitor their smart-alec comments about school. Talk to your youngster about your own school days. Discuss with your kindergartner what she can expect at school. Does she like to build blocks? Read stories? Play outdoors? Paint pictures? Read to your child every day. Make reading time a quiet, comfortable activity. Nothing prepares children for reading better than being read to. This is the key: To prepare your child for learning in a structured, ordered, and creative environment.

BACK TO SCHOOL

Protect your children from ID theft

eading back to school is an exciting time of year for kids of all

ages. For most it means new clothes, new supplies, pencils yet to be sharpened and maybe some new friends. However many parents don’t think about protecting their child’s identity in the transition from the dog days of summer to the classroom. It’s hard to believe that your child’s identity could be stolen and used for illegal purposes, but it does happen. Most Canadians get their Social Insurance Number when they are born, but if not, any child 12 years old or older can apply for one. This can open a window of opportunity for a crook if they have your child’s name and get a hold of their SIN. “Thieves use the information to set up bank accounts, get credit cards and secure loans,” says Evan Kelly, Senior

Communications Advisor for BBB serving Mainland BC. “All they have to do is set up a fake address and they are off and running.” Why do children make good targets for financial scams of this nature? “They have zero credit history,” adds Kelly. “There are no questionable trans-

actions for a bank to raise a red flag on so it’s much more difficult to spot. Imagine being the parent of someone who tries to get a credit card only to find they have a messed up credit history. These scams can go on for years undetected. It can feel very invasive.”

BBB has some tips for protecting your child’s identity as they head back to school: • Don’t allow them carry around their social insurance number. Leave it at home and locked in a safe place. In fact there is no reason you need to carry your own SIN around.

• If a business or school asks for their SIN, ask questions. Why do they need it and where and how is this information being stored? How long is it being stored and how will it be terminated? • Don’t give their SIN out unless it’s absolutely necessary, and keep a list of

where you gave it out. This could help authorities track someone down should something bad happen. • Ask your child’s school about its policies on things like surveys, data breaches and programs that may require certain personal information. Ask who has access to the information at the school and who they may be allowed to disclose it to. • Registered Education Savings Plans are a great way to ensure you have many for your child’s postsecondary education, however opening an account with a SIN can leave a child vulnerable to ID theft should the system be hacked. Only deal with reputable companies that offer RESP’s in their portfolio. • Educate your child on being safe if they are active in the online world. Keep detailed personal information off of social media profiles. • Report any concerns to the Canadian Anti-Fraud Centre Toll Free: 1-888-4958501.

BACK TO SCHOOL

Back-to-school prep By late summer, preteens and teenagers may need some parental encouragement to turn their attention to the task of getting ready for school. Your kids will be excited to start a new school year, see their friends, and jump into their favorite activities, but they also will be sorry to see summer go. Transitions are easier for some people than others, and teenagers are no different.

Making the Transition

A few weeks before school starts, remind your child to write book reports or finish summer reading due during the first week of school. Unless your teen gets up at the crack of dawn for a summer job, he probably is used to sleeping late in the summer. About a week before school starts, suggest he get up and go to bed a little earlier to re-set his internal clock. Don’t forget to consider the student’s environment.

Help your teen clear the summer’s build-up of clutter from her desk or other home-based work space. Neatness and order make the idea of going back to classes more manageable. The student feels in control. Your teen may not have cleaned out his backpack since June. Encourage him to do so before the first day of school. (Who knows what lurks in its dark recesses?) Returning students should stock up only on basic supplies. They should wait until the first few days of school for most purchases because teachers will have specific requests about notebooks and tools such as calculators.

School-Year Rules

Before school starts, review existing rules and decide with your child if any should be modified or new ones added. Issues for discussion might include: • Getting homework done. • Texting time and place • Friends on school days

• Weekday curfews • Getting to and from after-school jobs • Screen time • Bedtimes • Family chores • Morning routines • Packing lunches Summertime routines and rules tend to be more relaxed than those in place during the school year. Both you and your teen will benefit from a clear understanding of what you expect.

Health Forms

Call early for an appointment for a physical examination if one is needed. By the time your child is ready for middle or high school, the school may not require an annual update of health forms. Make sure your child has all necessary vaccinations. Fill out any forms your child needs for special medical care. Provide the school with the names and telephone numbers of family. — familytime.com

Back-to-school anxiety? Tips for parents and kids With students heading back to school in September, BC Children’s Hospital is sharing tips on how to help children deal with anxiety and stress. While some children and youth embrace backto-school excitement, others need help easing into the school-year routine. Some common worries for children include difficult classes, making new friends and meeting and adjusting to a new teacher. These worries are normal when introducing your child to a new school experience or changing their routine. Dr. Jane Garland, a psychiatrist with BC Children’s Hospital, recommends parents plan ahead to help ease the back-to-school transition. Whether it is your child’s first day at school, or if they are having a hard time adjusting after summer break, gradually exposing them to their environment can make a big difference. Tips for parents and caregivers: • Introduce children to the school year routine one to two weeks before school starts • Plan for transitions – getting to school, returning

to school after breaks • Provide regular routines — morning, school, homework, bedtime • Provide clear expectations, limits and consequences • Hold realistic expectations that are right for your child’s age • Help your child identify his or her feelings – nervous, intimidated, shy • Pay attention to your child’s feelings • Ask your child if they have ideas or solutions for a particular concern • Show yourself identifying your own feelings, problem-solving and being brave • Remain calm when your child is anxious • Praise and reward even their small accomplishments Consider seeking more help if your child: • Attempts to remain at home or with a caregiver • Refuses to attend school on certain days (field trips) • Refuses to eat in public • Refuses to use public bathrooms • Constantly worries • Constantly seeks comfort and reassurance • Shows extreme shy-

ness, avoiding social situations or events • Has physical complaints with no medical explanation (stomach aches, headaches, difficulty catching breath) • Throws tantrums, cries or screams excessively. “While back-to-school can be stressful for both children and parents, a new school year is an opportunity for children to practice healthy, lifelong coping skills,” health minister Terry Lake said. “We have many resources available to support parents and caregivers in helping their children and youth to transition successfully to the school year routine.” Garland said it’s important to get into a routine early. “Taking time to expose your child to their new routine one to two weeks before school starts can help lower their anxiety and help instil excitement,” she said. “This could involve simple things like planning and packing lunches together, building a school supply list or visiting the school playground for a picnic.”

You are full of energy this week, Cancer, so put it to good use. Lend a hand to others who have a lot on their plates and tackle some lingering projects of your own as well.

Leo, don’t take anything for granted this week. A project might go off without a hitch, but you need to be prepared in case it does not. Remain aware.

A Step in the Right Direction Could Save a Life VIRGO - Aug 24/Sept 22

Virgo, you may be so engrossed in your own routine that you miss some of the subtle goingson at work. If suddenly you feel out of the loop, make an effort to be more in the know.

MATH MINDBENDER

Scorpio, rather than focusing on your own progress this week, see what you can learn from others without making everything a competition. This can be a special learning process.

Logic Problem

Three students (Gordon, John, and Sue) each rent a different type of dwelling (apartment, dorm room and house) and each have a different type of pet (cat, dog, and goldfish). From the clues below, determine who rents what and who has what kind of pet. 1) John’s dog likes chasing the apartment dweller’s cat. 2) Gordon keeps his dorm room neat. 3) Cats and dogs are not allowed in a dorm room.

SAGITTARIUS - Nov 23/Dec 21
