THE $25-MILLION QUESTION The parks, recreation and cultural services department eats up a large part of the city’s annual budget. Taxpayers fund it to the tune of about $18 million per year. Where and how should that money be spent? By Andrea Klassen STAFF REPORTER andrea@kamloopsthisweek.com
A
WATER PARK FOR WESTSYDE, better trails and sidewalks and more mountain-biking trails were on the public’s wishlist as Kamloops kicked off its first round of community budget consultations at Interior Savings Centre on Tuesday, Jan. 22. The session, which covered the parks, recreation and cultural services budget for 2013, is the first of three evening meetings at which the public can ask questions of staff and council and share suggestions for projects they would like to see.

About 50 people showed up for the meeting, not counting media and city staff. The turnout is down from last year, when just over 70 people attended the first information session. Parks, recreation and cultural services director Byron McCorkell told the crowd his department is asking for an extra $4.65 per household in property taxes this year — or about $500,000. The parks budget is more than $25 million overall, $18 million of which comes from property taxes. Projects for the year include the development of Aberdeen’s West Highlands Park, a park in Mount Dufferin and new playground equipment in Prince Charles Park in downtown Kamloops. A $300,000 water park in Westsyde is also on the list — but, it’s one of the items council will have to sign off on or axe in April. Several Westsyders used the meeting to make a
pitch for the project. “It’s been talked about for about three years now,” said Robert Kelly, former president of the Westsyde Community Development Society, which has committed to paying for 10 per cent of the project. If the price tag for the full park is too much this year, Kelly suggested the city consider going ahead with only the first phase — installing washrooms and change rooms in the park. “That would carve that budget almost by half,” he said. Scott Redgrove said the water park would keep Westsyders in their community, cutting down on car travel and greenhouse-gas emissions from the neighbourhood. “I think it should be seen as an investment, rather than a cost,” he said. Twenty-year-old Cody Chambers, the youngest person to lob a question at council, said he wants to see the city put more energy into mountain biking. “Kamloops should embrace it because it’s getting really big and Kamloops is really renowned for it,” he said. “I’ve met riders that come from France and South American to ride here.” But, he added, the sport’s boom is leading to environmental damage as riders venture onto private property or head into sensitive areas. He wants to see the city fund more trail creation and management. McCorkell said the city is looking to create more mountain-biking trails in the new West Highlands Park. He said the city also has an extensive network mapped out, but as yet uncreated, in the Lac Le Jeune area, but will need to see the mountain-biking community rally around the project if it wants to get it off the ground. Other ideas pitched at the meeting included: Better connections between city trails, partnering with the Tk’emlups Indian Band to create a new skating arena on band land, a pedestrian bridge between Westsyde and Rayleigh and selling Interior Savings Centre to fund the creation of a new performing-arts centre. Public consultation on the 2013 budget continues on Tuesday, Jan. 29, at 7 p.m. at ISC, with the publicworks department on the agenda.

Liberal competitors agree on host of issues By Andrea Klassen STAFF REPORTER andrea@kamloopsthisweek.com
For two competitors going head-to-head in the race for leadership of the federal Liberal party, Martha Hall Findlay and Karen McCrimmon agree an awful lot. Talking the cost of purchasing and maintaining a squad of F-35 fighter planes — which the federal government has backed away from since it was pegged at about $45 billion — the two practically finish each other’s sentences. “I don’t know when Canada became a stealth-fighting attack country,” said Hall Findlay, who served as an MP in Toronto’s Willowdale riding before losing the seat in the 2011 election and who ran unsuccessfully for party leadership in 2006. McCrimmon, a retired lieutenantcolonel and the first female commander of a Canadian Forces air squadron, chimed in that she doesn’t feel the plane is the right fit for the Canadian military. For one thing, she would prefer something with a second engine. “I’d like some redundancy in my electrical system as well. I’d like an airplane that’s compatible with air-to-air refueling. I’d like an airplane that can get
Dave Eagles/KTW
into some of the shorter strips in the Arctic — and the F-35 can do none of that,” she said. “Isn’t it ever great that she knows this stuff?” Hall Findlay said with a grin, pulling her competitor into a one-armed hug. Both women also envision a more inclusive Liberal party that creates equal opportunities for Canadians. McCrimmon champions social housing while Hall Findlay stumps for universal day care. Both are calling
for curbs to what Hall Findlay calls the Conservative government’s “borrow and spend” habits. However, on some issues, they do differ in approach. On the subject of fellow candidate Justin Trudeau — who drew a crowd of 600 in Kamloops earlier this week and is considered the favourite to win the Liberal Party of Canada leadership on April 14 in Ottawa — McCrimmon tends toward diplomacy. “All of the candi-
dates, they are a stellar group of people. “But, we all have our own individual set of competencies and experiences and strength and skills,” she said. With the leadership vote open to any Canadian without a membership in another federal party, McCrimmon estimates about 23-million people can cast a ballot. “Canadians have to decide which set is the set we need right now,” she said. “That’s it.” Hall Findlay is more
blunt in her assessment. “How many people do you think would have come if Justin Bieber had shown up?” she asked, referencing Trudeau’s Kamloops event. “I’m sorry — actually, I’m not sorry. “This is a fact we are facing in this leadership race. “Substance, experience, intelligence and courage — not celebrity. “Justin has all sorts of other qualities but, when you look at the substance and experi-
ence and background of some of the other candidates . . . you want that stuff.” Hall Findlay and McCrimmon are two of nine candidates in the field to become the Liberal party’s new leader. In addition to Trudeau, candidates David Bertschi and Deborah Coyne have both made previous stops in Kamloops. The remaining candidates are Joyce Murray, Marc Garneau, Martin Cauchon and George Takach.
Liberal Party of Canada leadershio candidates Karen McCrimmon (left) and Martha Hall Findlay were in Kamloops on Wednesday, Jan. 23, following appearances in the city by fellow leadership candidates David Bertschi and Justin Trudeau. On the topic of the latter, and fact he drew 600 people to a speech at Thomson Rivers University, Hall Findlay said: “How many people do you think would have come if Justin Bieber had shown up? I’m sorry — actually, I’m not sorry. “This is a fact we are facing in this leadership race. Substance, experience, intelligence and courage — not celebrity. “Justin has all sorts of other qualities, but when you look at the substance and experience and background of some of the other candidates . . . you want that stuff.”

Snow and Waste Removal Kamloops has received above average snowfall this winter, and the large snow piles and windrows have made our residential streets quite narrow. When setting out your recycling and garbage for curbside collection, carts should be placed as close as possible to the traveled portion of the roadway, but not in the line of traffic. Carts are to be set 1 m away from obstacles such as vehicles and snow banks with at least an arm’s length of space between them. Customers serviced in lanes must keep the area around the carts clear of snow and ice. Following these guidelines will allow for less congestion and safer more efficient collection. Some reminders about snow removal: Arterial Roads : Roads like Fortune Drive, Columbia Street and the Summit Connector carry the highest volume of traffic and are the first to receive attention. Collectors and Bus Routes: Dallas Drive, Springhill Drive and Ord Road are examples of roads that receive second priority during and after storms. Residential Streets: Our goal is to sand or plow residential streets as necessary within 36 hours of the end of a storm. Sidewalks and Driveways: City crews strive to plow snow off roadways without placing it onto sidewalks, but this still sometimes happens. It is the responsibility of homeowners to clear snow off sidewalks adjacent to their property, and to clear the windrow at the end of their driveway.
Make sure your carts are set 1m away from snow banks.

Sewer-system fix is costly CITY HALL improvements, which need to be completed before the spring sports season begins. Mayor Peter Milobar said early approval still leaves council with plenty of money to move around as it deliberates the rest of its 2013 budget. “I’m comfortable approving it because these are all things we need to do for citities. It’s road repair, it’s rail crossings, it’s equipment,” he said. “I can understand the angst around feeling this is outside of the budget cycle but, unless we were planning to not spend a dollar next year, this is stuff that has to be done.”
Where and when with washrooms? Kamloops city councillors are pushing for more family washrooms in city parks, but the
process is hitting a safety snag. Parks, recreation and cultural services director Byron McCorkell told council that, in 2013, the city will only install family washrooms in parks and facilities where no new construction will have to be done. That leaves major parks like Riverside without family washrooms for another year. McCorkell said Kamloops RCMP are concerned genderneutral washrooms pose a safety risk. “You have a park, large, you have a building that’s alone and locked and you have an opportunity for an individual to hide in there and cause a problem,” he said. McCorkell said family washrooms aren’t a problem in venues like the Tournament Capital Centre, which, unlike

Council gives nod to some capital projects With final approval of the 2013 budget still several months away, city council has given early approval to $14-million in capital projects. Kyle said the items on the early approval list are projects that are time- or weather-sensitive, or orders for tools and equipment that will take months to ship to the city. Items on the list, which represents slightly less than half of the city’s capital budget, include a replacement fire engine ($685,000), $300,000 for bike paths and $85,000 for field
parks, has security cameras, staff and plenty of people around. Councillors Marg Spina and Nancy Bepple asked staff to take a harder look at how to solve the problem, noting they would be willing to spend more money on bathroom upgrades this year if the city can come to a solution. “I would rather deal with the issue sooner than later and, yes, it might be difficult to find a solution, but not impossible,” said Bepple, adding washrooms are needed by park users with mobility issues and those who have opposite-gender caretakers, as well as families. “If our handicapped population cannot go to park events because they cannot use a washroom, that’s a big deficit in the city,” Spina said. A report on the issue will come to council later this year.
Kamloops
Kamloops will spend an extra $600,000 upgrading a portion of the sanitary-sewer system that led to a weeklong shutdown of Mission Flats Road when it collapsed in 2011. In the summer of that year, one of two trunk mains leading to the main sewagepumping station on the South Shore collapsed, forcing the city to pump liquid waste into a pool at the Domtar pulp mill and spend hundreds of thousands of dollars on emergency repairs. Tracy Kyle, the city’s new publicworks director, told city council the collapse is now believed to be the result of corrosion from sewer gasses. Typically, the pipe should last 75 years. In this case, it failed after 41 years. Kyle said the cost of the project is increasing because the city has since discovered other sections of piping leading to the pumping plant are also structurally compromised. To try to prevent the pipe from failing again, the city plans to use PVC pipe in place of concrete and use corrosion-resistant additives in construction. Funds for the project, which has a cost of $1.2 million, are coming from another sewage-treatment project, which is being pushed back to 2014.

Bertschi promotes ‘substance’ By Dale Bass STAFF REPORTER
Are You Ready to Change the Shape of Your Body?
dale@kamloopsthisweek.com
His audience may have been significantly smaller, but David Bertschi isn’t cowed by the response fellow Liberal Party of Canada leadership candidate Justin Trudeau is experiencing. The day after Trudeau drew a crowd of about 600 to Thompson Rivers University, Bertschi met on Tuesday, Jan. 22, with a handful of party faithful at Red Beard Roaster, a North Kamloops coffee shop where the questions came at him fast. Bertschi, a Crown lawyer who ran unsuccessfully in his OttawaOrleans riding in the 2011 federal election, described himself as the candidate not being supported by the party establishment — but he is undeterred in his campaign. “I’m a pragmatic ideologue,” he said, “ and we’ve got to do what’s right. “I don’t believe in the culture of celebrity. I’m bucking the trend because people want substance.” And, doing things “right” under a Bertschi leadership would include ensuring food security through tax incentives, ensuring producers are well-equipped, providing retraining when necessary and not dismantling farm quotas that regulate supply management, as has been promoted by fellow candidate Martha

Hall Findlay. Promoting “muscular peacekeeping” would be “right” under a Bertschi leadership, he said, recognizing the reputation Canada received in that field when Lester Pearson was prime minister. Canada would also need to address today’s war realities, he said. Del Turner challenged Bertschi during the coffee-shop question period telling him, “If you ask a person on the street what the Liberals stand for, they can’t tell you — and neither can most Liberals.” Bertschi agreed the party needs to take stands and tell Canadians what those positions are, even if they won’t be popular with the media. Donna Marchand, wife of former federal Liberal cabinet minister Len Marchand, told Bertschi she is concerned no candidate is talking about arts and culture. Bertschi’s response included the need to invest in and promote
the arts, but he took a swipe at the Conservative government’s way of addressing the issue, which he said involves “starving out groups that don’t fit with their ideology.” Asked why he is opposed to uniting the left side of the political spectrum, much as the Reform and Progressive Conservatives did to the right, Bertschi said his party and the NDP have “totally different perspectives. “The Liberals stand for a strong, healthy economy with fair taxes and a structure designed to help people reach their full potential,” he said. “The party also has an economic history, something the NDP does not. “The NDP believes
government should be into everything,” he said, “and I don’t believe money will solve all our problems.” If he is unsuccessful in his leadership bid, Bertschi said that won’t end his political career. He plans to seek his party’s nomination in the next federal election, slated for Oct. 19, 2015. And, if he wins — he lost to the Conservative incumbent in the 2011 federal election by 3,837 votes — he has no eye on any seat in a Liberal cabinet, should his party also be successful. “That’s not why I’m running. I’ve never even thought of that,” Bertschi said. “This is about Canada. It’s about what Pearson stood for.”

He’s cute and has the name, but Justin doesn’t have it
I
DON’T LIKE COVERING POLITICS. There’s no real reason other than it’s like stepping through the looking glass into some bizarre world where the rules are skewed, the characters are stereotypes and the script is constantly being rewritten. To find someone in or seeking public office who truly inspires is a rare thing these days. Justin Trudeau doesn’t have it. He’s a cute guy with an iconic name, but he’s not his dad. He doesn’t have it. I’m not sure any of the nine now running for the federal Liberal leader’s job has it, either. It is a hard thing to define. Donna Marchand, wife of Len Marchand and no stranger to the realities of politics herself, told a story about Donald McDonald, holder of several portfolios during the Pierre Trudeau years. The federal Liberal party at the time was about to start the long path to finding a new leader and Donna asked McDonald why he didn’t add his name to the list of prospects. He could never do it, Donna recalled him saying. He didn’t have enough royal jelly. That’s as close a definition of it as any I’ve heard. Her own husband entered politics after hearing Lester Pearson speak, Donna said. The speech was more than inspiring; it touched something inside Len and made him feel like he needed to become part of the vision of Canada Pearson saw and was sharing
DALE BASS Street
LEVEL with all Canadians. Others sitting at the table with us shared similar moments when they heard a politician speak — Paul Martin’s name was mentioned more than once — and felt it. For me, it was embodied in the then-politician Stephen Lewis. If you think he is inspirational now as head of his AIDS-fighting foundation in Africa, you should have heard him back then, when he was head of the NDP in Ontario. He could make you want to help him fulfil his vision. He had it. Cesar Chavez was a politician outside of the political realm, but he also had it. He didn’t need flourishes in his speech — or even talking points, for that matter. He simply gave his message of fairness for farm workers in the United States and you believed in his cause. He had it. Liquid-diet-consuming First Nations protester Theresa Spence does not.
Her cause may, but she doesn’t. Looking around British Columbia, there aren’t many politicians out there who have it. Christy Clark certainly doesn’t. She’s too tightly wound — and controlled — to ever really let us see what it is inside her that inspires her. We just get to see what drives her. Adrian Dix wants to have it, but doesn’t. There’s a lesson in Donna’s observation about her husband, one that might explain why young people today don’t view the right to vote the same way my generation did at the same age. Politicians today haven’t given them it yet. They haven’t given them someone who, with honest, sincere words, breaks through that TwitterFacebook-MP3-Smartphone mentality and grabs them. Someone who makes them think oh-my-god-I-believe, not Oh. My. God. They give them sound bites and photo ops and aren’t-I-cool-I’m-onFacebook press releases. They speak with one eye on their communications people and the other on the media, praying the story in the paper tomorrow does more than spell their names right. Politicians with it don’t care about that. They know the message is what matters and, when it grabs a person by the heart, it succeeds. dale@kamloopsthisweek.com kamloopsstreetlevel.tumblr.com
If the federal Conservative government hasn’t already thought about its penchant for omnibus bills in Parliament, it needs to. The Idle No More movement has focused some of its attention on changes to federal legislation — like the Navigable Waters Protection Act and Environmental Assessment Act — that are rolled into an omnibus bill. These bills, often part of a budget, give MPs little chance to debate important issues because there are so many items jammed together. The Conservatives did not invent this strategy, but they have honed it to a fine art. Omnibus bills began appearing regularly during the five years the Conservatives governed with a minority and were often crafted in such a way as to keep at least one opposition party from voting against the government. While this was an understandable legislative strategy, the need for such omnibus bills does not exist when there is a majority government. But, the government of Prime Minister Stephen Harper likes the approach because it limits the usefulness of Parliament and the ability of critics to draw public attention. That worked fine when the critics were solely from the opposition parties but, when they are from outside Parliament and are energized by a variety of causes, as is Idle No More, omnibus bills have the potential to do a great deal of harm. The harm comes from emasculating legitimate opposition in Parliament, where differences within a democracy need to be discussed. If too many people believe Parliament doesn’t work any more, and this leads them to do serious damage to Canada’s economy because of their frustrations, omnibus bills become very dangerous. The Conservative government has nothing to fear from its opponents in Parliament. It has a majority and it should be ready and willing to hear criticism of its plans within an elected assembly. The prime minister would serve the interests of all Canadians if he pledged to restrict or even eliminate omnibus bills for the remainder of this Parliament’s term. The federal government needs to choose a path which is working towards positive change — on all types of issues.

This is the reality of caregiver role reversal Editor: After reading the Jan. 8 KTW article (‘Alzheimer’s walk honours caregivers) previewing this month’s Investors Group Walk for Memories in Kamloops, we felt there is an opportunity to enhance your readers’ understanding about our story. When I was first approached by the Alzheimer Society to share my personal experience on living with Alzheimer’s disease from a caregiver’s perspective, I thought my participation would help others understand what it was like to take care of someone with the disease and how it affects everyone involved. Alzheimer’s disease does not just affect the person with the diagnosis. It affects entire families. Each person involved in the life of the person with dementia is grieving, adapting and coping with changes and losses. Each person is doing the best they can with what they’ve got. The reality of this for our children and grandchildren is that, as we grow, our parents are our caregivers. They teach us, help us, care for us and are concerned for our well-being. It is a transition and role reversal when we become caregivers for our parents, as my daughters and grandchildren are finding out. It took immense courage for my daugh-
ter, Nicole, to speak publicly through Kamloops This Week about her experience as an adult on this journey with her dad and me. Can you imagine teaching your parent something he or she had once showed you how to do? This is one of the many personal and personally profound experiences Nicole experiences with her father. It is even more difficult to accept when your father is still so young and you had pictured many more years together in a very different way. For those familiar with this disease, you will know a person with Alzheimer’s disease unlearns things they have known their entire life. They forget the familiar. As well, you also learn you cannot argue with a person, which may not have been clear in the reference to the Christmas lights in the article. The brain of a person who has this illness is not capable of rationalizing, understanding or applying logic. Their reality is the only one they are capable of understanding and, sometimes, there is a very large gap between their reality and ours. It forces us to monitor our own behaviours and continually adapt and try every moment to be patient and understanding
about what this disease is doing to this person. It is changing who they are and the reality or world they live in inside their heads. With this being Alzheimer’s Awareness Month and the campaign message being “See Me, Not My Disease,” I felt it was important to talk about this disease, how it affects families and how the stigma associated with dementia prevents those who have the illness from sharing their stories and being taken seriously. I watch my husband’s health deteriorate with this disease and, even though I cannot change the progression of his illness, I hope to work toward lessening the stigma and stereotypes by sharing our experiences. Awareness dispels misconceptions. Let’s arm ourselves with information that will contribute to those affected to help them continue to maintain relationships and social activities and have a better quality of life. What better way to do this than by attending the Investors Group Walk For Memories on Jan. 27. Our family team, Popa’s Crew, will be at the Tournament Capital Centre to honour our husband, father and grandfather, Tim. For more information on the event, go online to walkformemories.com.

NEWS FROM BROCKLEHURST, WESTSYDE, NORTH KAMLOOPS
NO LIMIT TO GETTING HEALTHY ON NORTH SHORE The Malone’s on 8th saga has come to an end — and the Maywoods’ dream has come true. Darren and Maria Maywood, along with Andrew and Lisa Watson, purchased the Eighth Street building in North Kamloops and turned it into No Limits Fitness. “We got it for a smoking deal,” said Maria, who runs boot camp classes at No Limits, among other fitness activities. “What a great building.” Among the amenities at No Limits: New fitness equipment, a boot-camp facility, squash and racquetball courts, tanning beds and stand-up booths, a liquid bar, saunas, steams and relaxation rooms. “We’re trying to do something epic,” Maria said. “We have some great investors and people who believe in us.” Andrew Watson is the former pres-
ident of Voda Computer Systems Ltd. Calgary-based Graycon Group Ltd., an IT consulting firm, acquired Voda last year and Watson became manager of Graycon’s B.C. region. “He’s got the business experience,” Maria said. “We’ve got the fitness end of it covered.” Maria is known in the community for her Femsport exploits and she “loves extreme and advanced athletes,” but the gym will cater to more than just the elite. “We are going to try and have a little bit of everything,” she said. Memberships are now on sale. Call No Limits at 778-470-5550 for details.

Gearing up for a successful 2013 By Lynda Douglas SPECIAL TO KTW editor@kamloopsthisweek.com
T
HE NORTH SHORE BUSINESS Improvement Association is gearing up for an exciting 2013. First order of business is the process of hiring a new manager, with the help and professional guidance of Jeremy from WOW Leadership. However, this process has not slowed down business at the BIA office. To end 2012, we had an amazing Christmas light-up arranged by members of the board of directors, BIA staff and many community partners. A big thank you goes out to everyone who participated and attended the event as it was our best attended event of the year. Kudos to all. Last year also brought plenty of new and exciting enhancements to our neighbourhoods. New developments along the Tranquille Market are now looking to attract professional businesses. If you haven’t driven down Eighth Street recently, you definitely should as it has received a facelift from the business community and looks great The biggest and most comprehensive work the NSBIA was involved in during 2012 was the lighting project for the Tranquille Market. With the hard work and dedication of some fabulous people in the City of Kamloops planning department, and the most amazing group of volunteers on the BIA planning and development committee, this long-awaited
project is approved and underway. With 2013 now upon us, the NSBIA calendar is filling up with some very exciting events. Here are some things to look forward to this year: • February AGM with a combined meetand-greet for our new manager and the election of a new board of directors. This is a great time to come and have your voice heard or to join as a director or as a member of the marketing or planning and development committees. • The NSBIA’s fiveyear mandated renewal will be a busy time for the new manager, staff and board of directors as we prepare to enter into another renewal process. • The Biggest Sale Event is once again planned for the fall. • The Planning and development committee is looking forward to working once again with the city and community partners on North Shore projects, such as work being done at the corner of corner of Fortune Drive and Leigh Road. The committee is also looking forward to working with Kamloops Airport, city staff, business owners and community partners on the airport corridor. The North Shore Business Improvement Association depends on our business community for its successes. Whether it is supporting an event, shopping close to home or getting involved as a community partner, we would like to thank you for your past support and look forward to an exciting 2013.

Examining the psychology of personality
W
E HAVE long talked about how mental health and physical health are linked, but scientists studying the brain are linking their findings to studies about personality to come up with some exciting new understandings about how the brain helps to make us who we are. The new research tries to understand how a very complicated system like the brain generates personality, which, in turn, influences all kinds of aspects of our life — including our overall health. Colin DeYoung, a researcher at the University of Minnesota, explained the importance of understanding more about the physiology of our personality in a new study published this week. “Personality affects academic and job performance, social and
political attitudes, the quality and stability of social relationships, physical health and mortality, and risk for mental disorder,” he said. Researchers are finding that personality influences health over time. In particular, new models about how life span can be measured indicate health is the result not only of genetics and environmental factors, but also of changeable personality characteristics. It is important to understand this, especially when thinking about children, because personality is most easily shaped during childhood years. Helping children
develop personality traits like extroversion and positivity will increase their overall physical and mental health and add years to their lives. A new study that has not even been published yet — but will soon appear in the journal Health Psychology — found that children with personalities that tended toward being irresponsible and careless who were followed for 40 years were found to have much poorer health. They had far higher cholesterol problems and were far more likely to be obese. In short, conscientious kids live longer. Another study conducted by the National
Institute of Mental Health that started in 1968 recently tracked down the original research group and found those who were rated in 1968 as being less conscientious now have more metabolic problems and much worse cardiovascular health. Researchers point out both parents and schools shape personality and

FRED MAXWELL WALKER April 1, 1947 January 26, 2012
In our memory, you are near. Always close in our hearts, forever loved and cherished. Lovingly remembered by his wife Nerine, daughters, Nadine (Marvin) and Olivia (Sean), and family.
Stella Allin of Kamloops, BC, passed away on Sunday, January 20, 2013 at 98 years of age. Stella is survived by her three daughters, Rita Jones, Marion (Vic) Bradford, and Elaine (Bill) Wilson, all of Kamloops, and many grandchildren, great grandchildren and great great grandchildren, and numerous nieces and nephews. Stella is predeceased by her husband, John Allin (1991), daughter Joyce Allin (1985), son Everett Allin (1995), and brother Everett Keating (1996). Stella was born in Silver Creek, Manitoba on March 28, 1914. Stella and John farmed in Grandview, Manitoba and later moved to Knutsford, BC where they owned and operated the Knutsford store for many years before retiring in Kamloops BC. We would like to express our gratitude to the doctor and the wonderful staff at the Pine Grove Care Centre. Their kindness and generosity is was exceptional.

Following the service, Stella will be laid to rest at Hillside Cemetery. Donations in Stella’s memory may be made to the Canadian Diabetes Association (CDA) or to the Heart and Stroke Foundation.
there is growing need to take that role more seriously. If you have young children — or teens — take the time to develop traits that promote responsibility, caring, attention to detail and creativity in your child’s personality. Schools can help by encouraging students to think and to be more

physically active and by promoting creativity. Rather than seeing the gregarious student as ADHD, maybe it is more positive, helpful and accurate to say this outgoing young person is developing the personality to live a long and healthy life.

A legend’s number is up — in the ISC rafters STAFF REPORTER sports@kamloopsthisweek.com
“That’s a play that I do remember quite well. It’s almost in slow motion. “I remember it being a hard-fought game and the intensity is cranked way up and it’s tied late in the game. “I was almost caught a little out of position. I was able to come back and the puck turned over to me. “I didn’t know this at the time, but I think Eddy Patterson was having some issues, so he went to change and Zac Boyer jumped on the ice. “I looked up, saw a bit of time left on the clock and popped the puck up to Zac and he did the rest. “It was a pretty memorable way to win a championship.”

HAT IS SCOTT Niedermayer’s recollection of the goal, and the pass he made to set it up, that pushed the Kamloops Blazers to victory in the 1992 Memorial Cup championship game in Seattle. Blazer fans will have a chance to salute Niedermayer when the club retires his No. 28 at Interior Savings Centre on Friday, Jan. 25. The ceremony will be held at about 7 p.m., before Kamloops and Prince Albert get underway. “It’s a tremendous honour,” Niedermayer told KTW. “I’ve been retired now for about two-anda-half years and you really get a chance to think about your career and reminisce.” Among the memo-
ries from his junior career with the Blue and Orange: Moving to Kamloops from Cranbrook when he was 15; meeting his billets, Roger and Sheila Paulson, and his first roommate, teammate Trevor Buchanan; being drafted by New Jersey in 1991; learning to win with coaches like Tom Renney, Ken Hitchcock and Don Hay; reaching the Memorial Cup as a 16-year-old in 1990; and two years later, the greatest memory of them all, winning Canadian junior hockey’s Holy Grail at 18. “I benefitted tremendously from my time in Kamloops. For them to recognize what I did there is pretty special, for sure,” Niedermayer said. For most, a Memorial Cup championship ends up being atop the careerhighlight list. Not for Niedermayer. His list of accomplishments includes, and is not nearly exclusive to, two Olympic gold medals with Canada, one gold medal at the IIHF World Hockey Championship, hoisting once the World Cup of Hockey, a gold medal at the World Junior Hockey Championship, a Memorial Cup and two WHL championships. Oh, and four Stanley Cups. “The bottom line for my career is I’ve been working beside, playing with and playing for some really, really good people who knew what it took to have success,” Niedermayer said. Some of those people will be at ISC on Friday. Brian Burke, general manager with the Anaheim Ducks when captain Niedermayer led them to the Cup in 2007,
will attend the ceremony. Bob Brown, the GM who pieced together Blazer teams that reached the Memorial Cup five times in the 1980s and 1990s, will be in the building. Rounding out the list of dignitaries slated to be on hand are Blazers’ part-owner and threetime Stanley Cup champion Mark Recchi, Kamloops majority owner Tom Gaglardi, WHL commissioner Ron Robison and former Blazers Greg Hawgood and Greg Evtushevski. Niedermayer was surprised to hear the names of those who will honour his accomplishments. “I didn’t really know that they were coming,” Niedermayer told KTW. “I don’t know if that was maybe supposed to be a secret but, of course, that means a lot.” (It was not meant to be kept under wraps. The news had been released on the Blazers’ website). The smooth-skating defenceman racked up 47 goals and 190 points in 156 games with
the Blazers. He went on to amass 784 points in 1,263 games in the NHL. And those are just the regular-season numbers. The Cranbrook product tallied 39 points in 34 post-season games with the Blazers and 98 points in 202 NHL playoff appearances. Niedermayer’s No. 28 will hang beside Hawgood’s No. 4, Recchi’s No. 8, Evtushevski’s No. 26, Dean Evason’s No. 20 and Rob Brown’s No. 44. The future Hall of Famer will be joined this weekend in Kamloops by mom Carol, brother Rob, wife Lisa and his four children — Logan, Jackson, Joshua and Luke. “I’ve been so fortunate throughout my career — where I played, the organizations I played for, the teammates I had and the coaches,” Niedermayer said. “The first big step was Kamloops.”
Did you know? The Niedermayers are connected to the current edition of the Kamloops Blazers by an accident that occurred near the family’s hometown of Cranbrook in 2006. Blazer forward Aspen Sterzer’s mom, Franci, was driving the family SUV when it flipped. The second person to the scene of the accident was the Sterzer family doctor, Bob Niedermayer, father of former NHLers Scott and Rob. Aspen and his mother both incurred serious injuries. Franci is a Type-1 diabetic, something paramedics might never have known had Dr. Niedermayer not been there. “I know the story,” Scott said. “I remember my dad telling me about the story when it happened and he was right there and he was trying to do his best to help. “I didn’t know about the connection with the Blazers.” Read more about the Sterzers’ story online at kamloopsthisweek.com.

Thrive Festival gets backing from city hall Councillors agree to give organizers of two-day festival a one-time $75,000 grant By Dale Bass STAFF REPORTER dale@kamloopsthisweek.com
Despite initial concerns by a couple of its members, Kamloops city council is backing the proponents of the Thrive Festival. A service agreement with BC Living Arts Society, which is planning the festival for later this year, requires it to provide a progress report, sponsorship update, operational plans, a revised budget and registration information by April 1. A final report with complete financial accounting, along with other data — including a report on sustainability — is required by Sept. 30. A report must also be provided that relates to the society’s activities that support the city’s cultural strategic plan.
At least one major public event must be part of the festival. In exchange, organizers will receive a one-time grant of $75,000. The society has to allocate surplus revenue for any additional Thrive festivals, although two per cent of the revenue from registrations must return to the city to support new initiatives that are part of the cultural strategic plan. If another festival is not planned, any surplus revenue must be returned to the city. When society artistic director Alan Corbishley first approached the city for financial support, Coun. Marg Spina voted against the request. Spina said she felt Corbishley was asking for “a lot of money for a two-day festival.” Spina said when she was in
charge of the annual Kamloops Interior Summer School of Music program, which offered programs in much the same way the Thrive Festival plans to do, “it didn’t get a penny from the city.” Coun. Tina Lange also voted against the request. Lange said she also felt it was a lot of money and that the initial presentation by Corbishley to council was vague. Corbishley describes the festival, planned for early summer using venues at Thompson Rivers University, as “a confluence for mind, body and soul development” in creative ways not linked to the traditional view of the music, art, dance or drama. The festival would provide sessions in other areas that would lend themselves to creativity, including culinary and literary
arts, wellness, sports and continuing education. Many of the events will be free, Corbishley said, with others in the $20 range for a day pass. “Our goal is to make the event as accessible to all who is interested at as little cost to the consumer as possible, while maintaining a fiscally responsible event that can build sustainable growth and economic impact on the community,” he said. “If we can build a large free portion of the festival in the future, we will do it, as long as the financial support is in place from sponsors and supporters. To do that, we need to show them the event first.” The festival is geared to the 40-and-older market and Lee Morris, executive director of Tourism Kamloops, said she believes it can be promoted suc-
cessfully through her agency throughout the Interior, Northern B.C. and into the Okanagan region. Morris said the festival is the kind of event that would be featured on the agency’s website and highlighted in newsletters and e-blasts to a potential tourist market. Corbishley has several partners, including TRU, the Kamloops Art Gallery, The Kamloops Photo Arts Club and Kamloops Film Society, along with the city’s master gardeners and the Friends of the Garden at TRU. The festival is budgeted to see revenue of $409,000 — including the city’s contribution — and expenses of $330,670. The projected surplus is $78,330, which Corbishley said would be used to ensure sustainability of the festival.

D.O.A. still very much alive Keithley and company playing Baileyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s next month By Dale Bass STAFF REPORTER dale@kamloopsthisweek.com
With more than 3,000 shows on his resume, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not easy for Joe Keithley to pick a highlight or moment he wishes didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t happen However, the veteran punk rocker now partway through the final tour with D.O.A. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; including a show in Kamloops on Friday, Feb. 15 â&#x20AC;&#x201D; said he would likely choose the same concert for both moments. It was back in 1989 and D.O.A. was sharing the bill with another Vancouver act â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Bryan Adams. It was a two-night event in support of a group working to increase public awareness of the damage effluence from pulp and paper mills can cause to the environment, Keithley said, put together with the help of another singer-songwriter, Terry Jacks.
Keithley loved it not only for the music and sharing the stage with Adams but because it was supporting a cause he believed in. And, while heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not taking any credit for the show having a major impact, he notes the Social Credit government passed legislation addressing the issue a few months later. The low point of the event? â&#x20AC;&#x153;That would have to be trading verses with Bryan Adams on Stand By Me. Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s no video of it and I really regret that.â&#x20AC;? One of the reasons Keithley is moving on from D.O.A. tours now is his bid to be nominated by the NDP to run in the May provincial election in the Coquitlam-Burke riding. The nomination meeting is on Sunday, March 3, and Keithley is feeling confident of success. Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been out knocking on doors and talking to people for almost three

months now and has encountered a positive response. He noted when he last ran for the Greens, he had the second-highest percentage of votes of all candidates running for the party. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not his first attempt at political office; he ran for the Green party in 1996 and 2001 and for the Burke municipal council in 1997. The 17-stop final tour includes a gig at Baileyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Pub, 1050 Eighth St., and Keithley promises â&#x20AC;&#x153;a wild and rambunctious time.â&#x20AC;? Keithley said it will have some songs from recent albums, a few from the 1990s â&#x20AC;&#x153;but weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll lean heavily on the first three albums â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Something Better Change, Hardcore â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;81 and War on 45.â&#x20AC;? Tickets for the show are $15 at the door. Local band Sound City is slated to open.

CATCH ALL THE SAVINGS Kelowna-based band Malibu Knights — including frontman Dan Harden and drummer Rod Anderson — is playing tonight at the Blue Grotto on Victoria Street.
ABERDEEN MALL 250-374-6611
Malibu Knights bringing ‘upbeat’ rock to Grotto By Dale Bass STAFF REPORTER
dale@kamloopsthisweek.com
Dan Harden and his bandmates have learned a cold, hard truth — there are a lot of highway miles in Ontario without a venue in which to play a gig. It’s one of the reasons the band, Malibu Knights, has kept its full-time touring to Western Canada, not venturing much farther than Winnipeg. But, said Harden, the eastern provinces may beckon again, perhaps as early as this summer. First, however, is a show tonight (Jan. 24) at the Blue Grotto, a venue the Kelowna band has played before and enjoys. Opening will be Devon Coyote, another Kelowna singer-songwriter — and Harden’s roommate, as well. “We spend hours just jamming at home,” Harden said. “And he joins in with our band and we play with his.” The band started in 2008 as an acoustic trio and toured that way for about a year. A lineup change brought drummer Rod Anderson on, joining Harden and bass player Dean Irving, and the music became full-on rock in a style fans have described as “Foo Fighter-ish, not in sound but in the way we’re upbeat,” Harden
told KTW. The three met while each was working at the Centre for Arts and Technology in Kelowna — a place they each quit when they made
the decision to take on music full-time. Harden writes the songs that make up the show. Sometimes there will be a cover or two on the set list, as well as
the odd acoustic number, but the show will be up to three hours of rock. It starts at 10 p.m. Tickets are $7 at the door.

Kamloops Art Gallery hosting ‘knit-in’ today Marlaina Buch is hoping purls of wisdom will be passed down from experienced knitters to newbies today (Jan. 24) as the Kamloops Art Gallery hosts its first-ever knit-in. “The idea is that we’re trying to mix knitters of various skill levels together so they can learn from each other,” Buch, the art gallery’s education and public-programs co-ordinator, told KTW. The event is part of Kamloops Literacy Week’s “Unplug and Play” initiative, which encourages Tournament Capital residents to take part in activities that have nothing to do with TV or computers. Buch said some materials will be provided, and all knitters are welcome. Organizers are expecting to see upwards of 30 knitters take part. “I expect a healthy turnout,” Buch said. “But, it’s hard to say because there are a number of other events taking place at the same time.” The knit-in is a precursor to Kamloops’ firstever yarn-bombing — a public-art display slated to take place in August. When downtown Kamloops is yarn-bombed, Buch said, the trees on Victoria Street between First Avenue and Fifth Avenue — all 148 of them — will be dressed in knitted decorations. “There’s a local knitter who approached the gallery and said she thought it [yarn-bombing] would be a great public-art project,” Buch said, noting Kamloops is usually known most for sports and
outdoor activities, not art. “It’s nice to have art and culture injected into that.” The knit-in is slated to run from 4 p.m. to 6 p.m. today at the Kamloops Art Gallery, 465 Victoria St. For more information, call the gallery at 250377-2400. Invite the whole community to your next brownie meeting, hockey game or gala evening with a couple of clicks. Add your event today.

This is what happened to me personally. After suffering for years I desperately tried everything, drugs, natural products, physiotherapy, acupuncture, magnets and nothing was of any real help. Finally I had relief in 2 weeks by taking shark cartilage that was specially processed to preserve the natural active ingredients. This is the kind we are now promoting. I realized then that there are over 50 million men and women that are battling the same illness and getting treatments that are not working well, otherwise we would not have this ongoing huge health problem. In the last 10 years we have helped tens of thousands of men and women to have less pain or no pain at all. This is a by-product of the American food industry. No sharks are caught because of their bones/cartilage. Don’t let activists confuse you. Nick A. Jerch, President We have real EVIDENCE that it works. On our web site you find over 100’s of testimonials with full names and towns. All 100% true. Skeptics may call them. Here are some examples: Doctor suggested knee replacement after all his options failed with drugs and cortisone shots in knee and lower back. I recommend Bell Shark Cartilage to those millions suffering needlessly like I did for 40 #1 years with arthritis in my knees. It's a shame that I was given drugs and injections all these years when a natural medicine could have spared me the endless torture day and night. Pat Laughlin, Coldwater, ON My hip is 95% pain free. Pain killing drugs mask and Bell Shark Cartilage heals. Rebecca Hite, Oroville, CA I tried another brand and pain came back. 2 weeks on Bell and pain is gone again. Gert Dupuis, Hanmer, ON Cancelled knee replacement. I was in pain and limping. Have no more pain now. Can square dance for hours. Anton Melnychuk, Porcupine Plain, SK. For 32 years I cried barrels of tears. Was in and out of hospitals costing society tens of thousands of dollars. I have taken many thousands of pills that nearly killed me. Finally 3 bottles of Bell Shark Cartilage costing less than $100 stopped a lifetime of suffering without side effects. Eleanor Sauson, Shigawake, QC Others write: Can walk again for hours…Climb stairs without hanging on to railing…First time in 15 years can sleep at night…Rheumatoid pain in joints down 90%, same for my sister. Bell relays 100% truthful user’s free speech. No need to make claims. No money is paid for it. No questions asked guarantee.
Heartburn Reflux By Dr. Chakib Hammoud, M.H.,PhD. The USDA now recommends to eat 50% alkaline food (vegetables, legumes, salads, fruit). Health professionals suggest 80% alkaline food. Unfortunately, North American people eat 90% acidic food (meat, pasta, rice, bread, pastries, sweets, junk food). If you cannot change your diet to USDA’s 50% or closer to 80% alkaline food, consider to supplement with a natural health product that helps to increase your pH alkaline level close to a healthy #7. Ask for Bell Acidic Stomach/Alkaline Balance #39. It’s inexpensive, has no side effects and may eliminate the need for anti-acid pills many people take. As a bonus, an alkaline balanced body prevents many illnesses. See guarantee printed on box. Reflux gave me a sore throat and I could not sing in the church choir anymore. After taking Bell #39 I have no more reflux and rejoice in singing again. Helene Giroux, 65, Quebec, QC Have family history of heartburn. For last 10 years I suffered a lot with acid reflux. I told all family members about #39 being all natural, giving quick relief and having no side effects. Michael Fasheh, 49, Port Ranch, CA Very happy with acid reflux relief. Last 4 years had increasing reflux despite taking anti-acid products. I am also trying to eat more alkaline food. Grzegorz Smirnow, 43, Mt. Prospect, IL

Long term weight control without controlling blood sugar is destined to fail. This is why we have an epidemic of obesity. How it works: Stops the “roller coaster” of cravings and appetite to eat foods like sugar and starches that cause high blood glucose levels, which then brings on your pancreas to automatically pump insulin into your blood stream. Subsequently the high level of insulin precipitates low levels of blood glucose and cravings for more sugar and starchy carbohydrates (breads, noodles, crackers, cereals, french fries) which you don’t need and therefore it goes into unwanted fat storage and being overweight. Experts now recognize these basic facts.#40 Bell Blood Sugar Imbalance helps to stop this vicious cycle and puts you in control. Dr. Hammond says this natural product works 10 times better because it reprograms our brain and pancreas to release insulin in a controlled manner. Helpful #40 non-fattening eating suggestions in the box. Fibers and exercise like walking are beneficial and help after you control the underlying basic blood sugar imbalance. Working in a health food store I heard people saying how well #40 works. I tried it myself. Finally a product that controls my blood sugar much better than what anything else we had in the store. Thank you for helping people around the world. Irene M. Urdialez, 43, Brynton Beach, FL My medical indicated pre-diabetic. I took #40. When re-tested readings were fine. This helped my metabolism and my weight is down 25 lbs. I am grateful to the health food store people for their advice. Michael O’Brien, 60, Rutherglen, ON I finally found the right approach to lose weight. I tried for 3 years to lose weight. After starting #40 my blood sugar is stable now. I was able to stop overeating and lost my excess weight. Sara John, 40, Kitchener, ON I was struggling for 15 years with weight gain in spite of diet and exercise. I was diagnosed as pre-diabetic. I will forever be grateful to the store manager that explained to me to take #40 and read suggestions to avoid fattening foods. I lost 70 lbs. My fasting blood sugar is now 92. My 2 hour post meal glucose level is now 92 as well. My new shape raised my self-esteem and gave me immeasurable peace of mind. Karen Maples, 55, Clarksville, TN Diabetic eliminated high blood sugar levels with #40. My readings were 140 to 200 and are now 99 to 122 range where I want it to be. Before I bought about 10 different supplement that were more expensive and didn’t work as well. I also lost some weight. A great improvement in my health and daily living.

Set over medium-high heat and bring to a boil, stirring occasionally. Reduce heat, cover, and simmer until figs are softened (about 20 minutes). Allow to cool slightly, then transfer to a food processor fitted with a metal blade. Puree. Return pureed figs to pot, set over medium heat, and add orange and lemon juice. Bring to a boil, stirring frequently. Stir in pectin, granulated sugar, and brown sugar and return to a full rolling boil for one minute. Remove pot from heat and add vanilla. Ladle jam into six one-cup jars and cool completely. Screw on lids and refrigerate (several weeks) or freeze (up to a year). Use as a spread, or stir into hot cereal for a mellow sweetness.

girl who, when she came to visit, would line up my shoes and hand me any jackets I had neglected to hang in the front closet. Followed by some further tidying up, we would unpack her day bag, discover what her parents had brought for her to play with and bring out the books and blankets I kept at home just for her. Then, and only then, could we have a snack of unsauced noodles or goldfish crackers, then rread a book or two — or 10, after which we would go for a walk and see whether there was anything good at tthe nearby market. Now, if I’m countiing correctly, Kayla must be about 16 years m old. She has long since moved away with her m pparents but, when I was her babysitter — a 20-something wannabe writer working on her first practice novel — Kayla was lovely company. As a teenager, I hhad done a fair lot of bbabysitting. Back then, I babysat children of every sort, from plump cherubs, tto five-year-olds who swore strings of profanity and threw dishes at me once their parents left the house. There were helpful 10-year-olds who dried spoons and forks while I washed their famiily’s dishes and sullen iinfants in soggy cotton diapers, with no clean ones — and no laundry
detergent anywhere to be found. Now that I was older and married, I was prepared to be choosy about other people’s children. No to the baby who wasn’t allowed to glimpse the TV and had to be turned away from the screen if I absolutely had to switch it on. And no to the catgrabber with tufts of fur gripped in both fists. So when, one day, Kayla’s parents dropped her off and cheerfully announced, “We just discovered
that Kayla loves figs! She gobbled down a whole tray of them this afternoon,” I bit my tongue, reminded myself what a rare and sweethearted girl she was and glanced over at the diaper bag to make sure it looked well and truly stocked. In an emergency, I thought a little frantically, we could dash down the street to the nearest grocery or pharmacy. But, one thing was already certain. It was going to be a long and sticky night. The first tummy rumblings began
not long after Kayla arrived that afternoon and, by the second change of Pull Ups, I had figured out to snip the diapers open rather than drag the jammy, seed-y contents down Kayla’s chubby little legs. By the second change, Kayla had figured out to head straight for the tub and raise her arms to be lifted in. Then we would snip and soap and hope the figs had finally run their course. Somewhere around the tenth change — and last diaper in the
bag — Kayla’s tummy settled and I lay her down to sleep. A few hours later, when I returned a drowsy girl to her parents, along with an empty diaper bag, not one of us said a word.

Lake Baikal Siberia like no place on Earth By Irene Butler
The Baikal museum features Nera Seal displays. Rick Butler photo
SPECIAL TO KTW travelwriterstales.com
O
UR BOAT JOSTLES AGAINST STRONG BITING WINDS. We leave Listvyanka, the small shoreline town wrapped in taiga (boreal forest). A backdrop of mountains appears phantom-like on the horizon. Snuggled in wool blankets, my husband Rick and I look out at the seemingly endless steel blue waters of Lake Baikal. We are awed knowing we are on the oldest and deepest fresh-water lake in the world, formed as an ancient rift valley 25-million years ago. Its crescent shape is about the size of Belgium or Holland â&#x20AC;&#x201D; but, Baikalâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s claim to fame is its astounding depth of 1,642 metres. It contains 20 per cent of the worldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fresh water. This computes into more volume than the five Great Lakes of North America combined. Our guide, Valentine, speaks in her native tongue to the four Russian tourists on board, then aptly switches to English for us. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There are 333 rivers and streams flowing into the lake; only one river flows out â&#x20AC;&#x201D; the Angara.â&#x20AC;? Long before scientists discovered Baikalâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s unique ecosystem, the indigenous Buryat people attributed its extraordinary characteristics to powerful lake spirits who gathered at Shaman Rock, located in the rapids where the Angara begins its outward flow. â&#x20AC;&#x153;According to legend,â&#x20AC;? says Valentine, â&#x20AC;&#x153;before a wedding, the bride-to-be was taken to Shaman Rock to spend the night. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Her survival meant the spirits concurred she would make a good wife and the wedding would go ahead. If she died of exposure or was swept off the gigantic
rock by rogue waves, it was best â&#x20AC;&#x201D; as she would not have made a good wife anyway.â&#x20AC;? Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m thinking it wise to have a summer wedding. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Now, you men were not excluded from the spiritsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; judgment,â&#x20AC;? Valentine adds. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Those accused of a crime were deemed not guilty if alive in the morning â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and, if not, it was just punishment. Lake Baikal has caused much stir in the scientific realm. The waterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s purity is phenomenal due to micro-organisms not found elsewhere. The most numerous are crustaceans known as the Baikal Epischura, which account for 96 per cent of the filtering of Baikal. Divers claim the water is so clear it causes unexpected vertigo from seeing so far below their feet. Biologists have dubbed the lake and surrounding area the Siberian Galapagos for its 1,700 species of flora and fauna, of which 80 per cent are found nowhere else on the planet. This biodiversity was given World Heritage status by UNESCO in 1996. The only mammal to inhabit the lake is the endemic freshwater earless seal Pusa sibirica, locally called â&#x20AC;&#x153;nerpaâ&#x20AC;? and estimated to have made Baikal their home for two million years. It remains a mystery how these seals originally got here, consider-
ing the lake is hundreds of kilometres from any ocean. Some surmise a seapassage once linked the lake with the Arctic Ocean. â&#x20AC;&#x153;When the lake freezes over in winter,â&#x20AC;? says Valentine, â&#x20AC;&#x153;we see yet another of Baikalâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s marvels as the ice forms with crevasses that open and close providing breathing holes for the seals.â&#x20AC;? Since the nerpa congregate mostly in the lakeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s northern basin, when we are back on dry land it is off to see some in Listvyankaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Baikal Museum.
We delight in their dirigible shape of fur covered blubber, with large bright eyes and whiskered mouth at one end and flipper tail at the other. The main food source of these wonderful creatures is golomyanka, a native fish with translucent bodies and no scales. The total seal population is estimated to be more than 60,000 and growing, since hunting them is prohibited. By this time, we are ravenous and head for the main market.

This is what I believe Adam’s In other words, God endowed role in creation was — someone human beings with something not with not only a spiritual capacity, afforded to other creatures —a but also one who was intended spiritual capacity. to have a personal relationship The King James version of the
with God. And, is that not what the Christian concept of salvation is — a personal relationship with God? But, what about Eve? In the second version of the creation story, God says “a suitable helper” was not found for Adam. What I believe this to mean, is God considered the previously created female humans as biological mates for Adam, but rejected that idea in favour of the creation of Eve. In other words, God wanted a biological couple that had an identical spiritual capacity to know him. I don’t think it is an accident the name for our species is homo sapiens, the “man who knows.” What is it we know, apart from knowledge of the natural world? We have knowledge of the supernatural world, moral knowledge and the knowledge of God. Like many believers, I had difficulty accepting the entire human race arose exclusively from Adam and Eve, which would necessarily require some intrafamilial incest for reproduction. But, frankly, I don’t think that
was the case. When Cain was banished for his fratricide of Abel, he was worried he would be killed. By whom? My guess is the non-Adamic humans who lived around them, from whom Cain selected his wife. Scripture says Cain “built a city.” The word “city” implies many people and this only makes sense if there were a substantial number of non-Adamic humans living in the same area. Why I believe this to be the case lies in clues later in Genesis. The sixth chapter opens with a curious phrase: “When men began to increase in number on the earth and daughters were born to them, the sons of God saw that the daughters of men were beautiful, and they married any of them they chose.” Why this differentiation between “sons of God” and “daughters of men”? I believe it is a biblical recognition that the descendants of Adam (sons of God) intermarried with the non-Adamic “daughters of men,” basically following Cain’s example.
Indeed, in Luke’s geneology of Jesus’ line, he ends with “Adam, the son of God.” The dual creation stories are also a metaphor for our present state — we all start our lives as “natural” humans and become the spiritual “children of God” through baptism and a profession of faith. Some people think we evolved from pond scum or meteor dust without any involvement from a Creator. Others think Adam is our ultimate biological progenitor and there were no humans before him. I think the answer is more nuanced. Opinions will always differ on the exact nature of our biological origins, including among Christians, but there is one thing of which we can be certain. Adam is our spiritual forebear and the first to have a direct relationship with God the Creator. KTW welcomes submissions to its Faith page.

Valley First offers $32,000 in grants to students Valley First has renewed its commitment and passion for making a real difference in its communities by offering $32,000 in education awards to secondary and post-secondary students. During the last 13 years, Valley First has distributed close to $300,000 in scholarships and bursaries. In addition to its Valley First UBC-
Okanagan scholarship, open to those who are planning to attend UBCO, Valley First is introducing a new education award — the Feed the Valley volunteer education award — open to students who volunteer at their local food bank. “It’s important to recognize those who are committed to academic excellence and community leadership,” said Valley
First’s Christa Phillips. “For nearly 15 years, Valley First has proudly provided education awards to deserving secondary and post-secondary students. “These awards are just one way we can recognize the positive impact that they have made, and will continue to make, in our local communities.” Eleven $2,000 education awards will be
presented to qualifying secondary and postsecondary students who demonstrate outstanding school and community involvement. The UBCO scholarship, valued at $5,000 and two $2,500 awards for outstanding volunteerism in local food banks will total an additional $10,000 in education awards. Applications and qualifying criteria can
be picked up at any Valley branch or on the Valley First website at valleyfirst.com/ education. All submissions are due by 5 p.m. on Thursday, Feb. 28. Valley First is a division of First West Credit Union, B.C.’s third-largest credit union, which has 38 branches and 29 insurance offices throughout the Lower Mainland,
Vitamin C and Lysine powder help prevent heart attacks by W. Gifford-Jones M.D. Why is heart attack the number one killer in this country? Ninety-nine percent of doctors say it’s due to atherosclerosis (hardening of arteries) and that cholesterol lowering drugs are the primary way to treat it. But I suggest cardiologists have closed minds and are ignoring facts that could save thousands of North Americans from coronary attack. History shows mankind is not kind to new ideas. In 1847 one maternity patient in six who entered the University Hospital in Vienna left in a coffin. Why? Because esteemed professors ridiculed Dr. Semmelweiss, a colleague, for showing that by simply washing hands after doing an autopsy, deaths were prevented. Years later Dr. Linus Pauling, two-time Noble Prize winner, is ignored for reporting that large amounts of vitamin C and lysine are needed to prevent coronary attacks. Twenty-five years ago Pauling reported that animals make vitamin C and humans do not. That’s why sailors died of scurvy during long sea voyages, but the ship’s cat survived. Vitamin C is required to manufacture healthy collagen, the glue that holds coronary cells together, just like mortar is needed for bricks. Lysine, like steel rods in cement, makes collagen stronger. Pauling claimed it takes a mere 10 milligrams to prevent scurvy, but several thousand to prevent heart attack. Williams Stehbens, Professor of Anatomy at Wellington University in New Zealand, proved Pauling was right. Stebhens’ research showed that coronary arteries closest to the heart are under the greatest pressure. This causes collagen to fracture resulting in the formation of a blood clot and death. Dr. Sydney Bush, an English researcher, has now proved that vitamin C can reverse atherosclerosis. Bush took retinal photographs, then started his patients on high doses of vitamin C and lysine. One year later additional pictures showed atherosclerosis had regressed in retinal arteries. So what has happened to these monumental findings? Bush, like Semmelweiss, has been ridiculed by cardiologists. One has to ask whether cardiologists, by ignoring his results, are condemning thousands of people to an early coronary heart attack.
doses of vitamin C plus lysine with breakfast and the evening meal, for several reasons. I knew that Dr. Graveline, a physician and NASA astronaut, had twice developed transient global amnesia from taking Lipitor. I was also aware that patients have died from CLDs. Others have developed kidney, liver and muscle complications. I also believed the research of Pauling and Stehbens irrefutable. Now, the work of Dr. Bush has convinced me my decision was prudent. But to take large doses of vitamin C and lysine requires swallowing many pills daily. It’s a tall order for those who dislike swallowing one pill. So for several years I’ve been trying to find a company that would manufacture a combination of vitamin C and lysine powder. Now Medi-C Plus is available at health food stores. Its sales will help support The GiffordJones Professorship in Pain Control and Palliative Care at the University of Toronto. The dosage for the Medi-C Plus combination is one flat scoop with breakfast and the evening meal. Those at greater risk should take one flat scoop three times a day. If high doses cause diarrhea, the dose should be decreased. This column does not recommend that those taking CLDs should stop them. This is a decision that can only be made by patients and doctors. Most of today’s, cardiologists are impervious to persuasion. They continue to believe that cholesterol-lowering drugs are the be-all-and-end-all to prevent heart attack. They’ve been brain-washed by millions of dollars worth of promotion by pharmaceutical companies. It reminds me of the saying that cautions “It’s not what you don’t know what gets you into trouble, it’s the things you know for sure that ain’t so!” It’s time for cardiologists to have an open mind and stop ignoring this research. As for me – I bet my life on it!
Fourteen years ago following my own coronary attack, cardiologists claimed it was sheer madness for me to refuse cholesterol-lowering drugs. Instead, I decided to take high

Bombardier raises the bar — above the clouds
M
EET THE NEW Ski-Doo Summit XM. The bottom line is more fun with less effort, the choice to go places you only previously dreamed of visiting and picking lines through the trees as your buddies watch in amazement. The goal at the heart of the project was to build a lightweight, well-balanced, exceptionally maneuverable sled with enhanced rider ergonomics, while maintaining customer expectations for high horsepower and appealing to the wallet with exceptional fuel economy. No small project, but who better to take this on than world leader in power sports design BRP — Bombardier Recreational Products? It started with the dramatically lightweight, exceptionally strong Rev-XM chassis. From there, they started at the front and reworked the sled all the way back to the new mountain-specific design snow flap. New skis were designed for more responsive handling, spindles were redesigned, an S36 front suspension was added, the semi-rigid mountain strap was redesigned and a convenient heated glovebox storage space became part of the plan. There is also a redesigned mountain-specific rider cockpit featuring flat gauges, a new control layout to keep the essentials at fingertip convenience — but nothing extra getting in the way.
In addition, there is a resculpted mountain seat designed for easy transition during your snow play day of powder gymnastics. Combine all of these features and rider fatigue is reduced by 50 per cent so you can see twice as many sights per day. There is also reworked body style and function to minimize snow drag while enhancing side hilling and powder carving. The running boards are three times stronger than the previous generation, with 87 per cent more snow evacuation, which means more sure-footed manoeuvres and never needing to clean out your boards. The revolutionary new T-motion rear suspension allows
The handling you’d expect from Can-Am. The power you’d expect from no one.
the rear skid to pivot sideways four degrees to allow improved rider input when initiating a move. This is coupled with the new Flex Edge powder-max track to give increased surface contact even under extreme side hilling conditions. BRP has maintained the 2.5-inch monster track with a 16-inch wide configuration that has made it the summit hillclimbing leader while reducing weight, again with a new hollow-lug design. There is lightweight throttle pull with improved roll on linear power that makes the 800 E-Tec the perfect motor choice. The 800 E-Tec is a lightweight two-stroke motor with advanced fuel-direct injection technology. With 163.9 horsepower, it pulls like no other while still offering manners with virtually no smoke or smell. No other manufacturer has fused power, fuel economy and reduced emissions to meet environmental-emissions compliance while still offering an astounding 19 miles-pergallon fuel-sipping consumption. Want to try one? Call your local dealer RTR Performance to sign up for a test ride. Welcome aboard the new Summit XM!
