It was a Sunday when Todd Reutlinger realized someone had managed to get into his company’s computer system. There wasn’t much he could do about it at the time, so the owner of LN Group Marketing and Promotions was left to worry that entire day about what had happened inside his server. The next day, he contacted his computer-service people, who told him not to worry, that it was probably nothing more than a virus. Within hours, Reutlinger knew it was more than that. He just didn’t know how much more. “They somehow managed to disarm the anti-virus and shut down the safe mode,” he said. “And then, a screen popped

up and it told me all my files had been encrypted with a 250bit code and I had to sent them $3,000 within the first 24 hours to get it all back. “It went to $5,000 after three days, $7,000 after a week and $10,000 after two weeks.” Encryption software is used to scramble data to make it impossible to read by anyone but the recipient. In this case, it meant only the hackers could access all of the company’s documents on the server. “Tuesday morning, I was sick to my stomach,” Reutlinger said. Even a backup drive on his server couldn’t be accessed to try to retrieve any of the documents. The next morning, however, the service people removed the hard drive and put it into a different computer, managing to get in and back up all files to Feb. 8, the

last business day before the saga began. “But, I was paralyzed completely for a week,” Reutlinger said, noting he had to buy a new server. Kamloops RCMP Staff Sgt. Grant Learned said the access likely happened when someone using the business’s computers clicked on a link that downloaded malware — malicious software — that infected the server contents with the encryption software. The perpetrators would be alerted they had taken control and then use the information to identify the company and make the contact for money to release the files. “This is an extortion against the business,” Learned said, noting payment should never be made.

‘Ransomware’ more common Kamloops RCMP doesn’t see many cases like the extortion attempt via computer Todd Reutlinger experienced, said Staff Sgt. Grant Learned. They happen, but the most common is what he called “ransomware,” when someone clicks on a link, the screen freezes and another one pops up, advising the computer user they have accessed an unsafe site. “They tell you to click on the link below and they can assist you, playing that they are a virusscan company. “Eventually, they’ll ask you for your creditcard number,” Learned said. “All that really has happened is you’ve accessed a pop-up that causes your screen to freeze. You just need to unplug it, reboot and it’s fine. Or, if you’re worried, take it to a computer shop to be sure there was no malware downloaded.” Learned said anyone using a computer should

always ensure its virus and malware software is constantly updated. For those who also use servers, they should also have the latest in security and protection updates and all files should be backed up on a daily basis. Backing up files is essential not just in case of hacking or malware, but for the other unexpected problems — theft, fire, a power surge that cooks the server and many other situations that could compromise the system and make record retrieval impossible. For home-computer users, Learned advised they not click on any link they are unsure about or have not encountered before. “For example, you’re browsing and you see a link for a 2,500-square-foot home on the Shuswap with 200 feet of sandy beach all for $250,000 and just click here for the details,” Learned said. “You’ve got to use a little common sense. If you don’t know the site, don’t do it. It’s really user beware.”

COVER PAGE STORY

The future of cybercrime? X From A1

Learned said perpetrators often work out of countries that lack laws governing computertechnology crimes and that fact, combined with the ability to route the malware through servers around the world, makes the

crime virtually impossible to solve. “I think this is the new future for cyber-crime,” Reutlinger said, “basically taking your company and holding it for ransom.” This isn’t the first time a Kamloops business has been hacked online. In December, Sid Kandola, owner of City Furniture and Appliances on Hillside Drive, placed an order with a mattress company he had been dealing with for years. The purchase appeared as

though it had gone through fine, but the product never arrived. Kandola told KTW email correspondence with the Chinese export company had been hacked and he lost his $35,000 payment. Although Reutlinger has a new server and measures have been taken to try to avoid a similar situation, he said it’s impossible to be sure it won’t happen again. “There’s no way you can be protected 100 per cent,” he said. “If anybody wants to get in bad enough and they know how to do it, they will get in.”

‘A screen popped up and it told me all my files had been encrypted with a 250-bit code and I had to sent them $3,000 within the first 24 hours to get it all back. It went to $5,000 after three days, $7,000 after a week and $10,000 after two weeks.’ — TODD REUTLINGER

Meet Jean-Paul and Ryan implementing communication, training and employment, business development and community relations activities between KGHM International and First Nations communities in Kamloops. I was born and raised in Kamloops. I’ve spent time in other parts of British Columbia but Kamloops is definitely my home.

JP Salley (left) and Ryan Denault I am Jean-Paul (JP) Salley. Not only have I grown up around mining, I have also worked extensively in the industry as operations, logistics, and project manager, as well as in a corporate setting in marketing, policy, corporate development, and project planning positions. I intend to bring a balanced and robust mining background to my role as External Affairs Specialist with the Ajax Project, focusing on government relations and communication.

Through experience I know that done right and responsibly, mining’s impacts on the natural environment and local community can be minimized while providing significant socioeconomic upside to surrounding communities. I will work tirelessly to demonstrate how we can achieve Zero-Harm with the Ajax Project while contributing positively to the sustainable growth and development of this dynamic community.

Although I’ve lived elsewhere, BC has always been, and will continue to be, home. As an avid rock/ice climber, backcountry ski enthusiast, fly-fisherman intraining and committed trail runner, I am a passionate outdoorsman who spends much of my free time among the beautiful BC mountain landscapes.

Conservative backs Ajax mine By Andrea Klassen STAFF REPORTER andrea@kamloopsthisweek.com

Kamloops’ latest contender in the provincial election campaign fully supports the controversial Ajax mine proposal. Ed Fehr, the B.C. Conservative nominee in Kamloops-North Thompson, said he supports the copper and gold mine KGHM Ajax wants to build just south of Aberdeen. “I’ve been a miner for a number of years and when I think about the Ajax mine — and I’m

candidate, told KTW he is also inclined to support the project — but only if Ajax’s environmental assessment checks out. “I think it would be a huge economic opportunity for Kamloops, with hundreds of family-supporting jobs,” he said. But, he added, those jobs can’t come at an environmental cost. “The bar that Ajax has to meet when it comes to impacts on water and air and dust and light and esndangered species, the requirements are very, very high, especially

MEET ED FEHR, B.C. CONSERVATIVE PARTY CANDIDATE FOR KAMLOOPS-NORTH THOMPSON PAGE A16 getting a lot of feedback from the Filipino community — I feel like that’s a very good thing,” he said. Fehr, who also supports the Enbridge Northen Gateway pipeline proposal between Alberta and Kitimat, believes the mine will be a job creator for Kamloops. “And I believe the environment is not going to be affected like some have said,” he added. “I believe all the homework has been done for Ajax in regards to the environment.” It’s a stronger stance than most candidates in the city’s two ridings have taken. Todd Stone, Kamloops-South Thompson’s B.C. Liberal

because of how close it is to the city,” Stone said, Stone’s B.C. Conservative opponent, Peter Sharp, takes a similar view. “If it’s environmentally not a safe thing to do for our community, I’m against the mine,” Sharp told KTW, adding that, in reading reports and documents put out by the mine, he can see KGHM is concerned about noise and dust pollution and other environmental issues. Kathy Kendall, Kamloops-North Thompson’s B.C. NDP candidate, is trying to keep an open mind on Ajax. “I’m finding particularly as you head up towards Barriere and

Clearwater, lots of families where the breadwinner is working in the oil sands, they’d like jobs close to home to keep their families together,” she said. However, Kendall said, she also has concerns about the environmental impact of the project and doesn’t think the review process the mine is undergoing is as rigorous as it could be. “We deserve the highest standards of review and we didn’t get that, the full-panel review. I think the Liberals should have pushed for that,” she said. Tom Friedman, her NDP counterpart in Kamloops-South Thompson, also raised concerns about the environmental-review process. “We have some doubts about whether the current process is as effective as it might be for our community and we need to make sure our community is protected,” he said. Friedman pointed to a 2011 report by the Auditor General, which found the provincial Environmental Assessment Office isn’t doing enough to ensure mines and other major projects are complying with regulations after receiving environmental certificates. “So, we have to ensure that the environmental assessment that’s done is going to be rigorous, particularly given the location of the proposed project,” he said.

Thompson Rivers University chef/instructor Brody White enjoys the benefits of using local honey produced from bees in the beehives atop the Culinary Arts Building. The department is hosting a Bees on the Roof fundraiser on Friday, March 1, at 6 p.m., featuring a honey-inspired menu. Tickets are $50 and can be purchased online at beesontheroof.brownpapertickets. com. Dave Eagles/KTW

This dinner is the bee’s knees By Dale Bass STAFF REPORTER dale@kamloopsthisweek.com

Ron Rosentreter has always been fascinated with insects. The culinary-arts instructor at Thompson Rivers University even had pet spiders as a kid and, true to his later calling in life, he fed them. Now, his attention has turned to bees — and the five hives atop the Culinary Arts Building on campus. Rosentreter said a friend took a course in beekeeping and encouraged him to do the same. He bought all the necessary equipment and started with just two hives, adding to the collection over the years. Starting a hive doesn’t mean there will be honey for the toast right away. It takes time for the bees to do their work, creating the intricate nests and getting down to the sweet

business. The five hives have produced enough honey to be used in the program and Rosentreter expects the production will grow to the point it will be sustainable — and maybe even provide honey that can be sold to the public. To help with the plans, his department is holding a Bees on the Roof fundraiser on Friday, March 1, in the Culinary Arts Building at 6 p.m. The menu reflects the subject: Walnut and honey soup, sablefish glazed with honey and soy, lamb cooked three ways and served with a honey-andmustard-scented jus, an Earl Grey and TRU honey sorbet and rice pudding scented with honey and milk. Cost of the dinner is $50, which includes one drink. Tickets can be purchased through the university’s cafeteria, its Accolades dining room or online at beesontheroof.brownpapertickets.com, which adds names to a will-call list available the night of the event.

TEACHING By Dave Eagles STAFF REPORTER dave_eagles@kamloopsthisweek.com

I

T’S ALL ABOUT PEACE, love and understanding. That’s the message being sent by more than 300 NorKam secondary students who donned colourful tie-dyed T-shirts during AntiBullying Day yesterday (Feb. 27). This year, 40 Leadership Class students came up with an idea to support Pink Shirt Day by teaming up to create tie-dye T-shirts and pre-selling them to students. They wanted to encourage the student body to think beyond bullying and to raise awareness of biases against sexual orientation and gender equality. The talents of T-shirt artist Nyk Burlock were sought out to teach a group of leadership students how to make the shirts. With more than 300 shirts pre-sold to students, the hallways came to life with a variety of hues among the 200-

plus pink shirts mixing with the spirals and swirling coloured designs. “The shirts are all unique.� leadership student Krysten Paluck said. “It really adds to the message of equality, involvement and of being different.� The popular shirts have helped more students get involved in taking a stand, as Burlock pointed out. “Before, one or two would’ve had a pink shirt on in my classes. Now, there’s five or six. More kids are definitely getting involved.� Leadership teacher Cheyenne Kennedy is proud of her students for their eagerness in getting involved and for finding new ways to help others care. “It’s a great turnout this year,� she said. “It’s showing our diversity.� Anti-Bullying Day (Pink Shirt Day) is a day celebrated during the last Wednesday of the month of February where participants wear pink to symbolize a stand against bullying. The idea originated in 2007 as a protest against a bullying incident at a Nova Scotia high school.

Downtown parking plan panned, praised By Andrea Klassen STAFF REPORTER andrea@kamloopsthisweek.com

A rate hike that would double the cost of on-street parking downtown didn’t seem to bother the 60 people who attended a city open house on Tuesday, Feb. 26. But, for much of the crowd at Interior Savings Centre, switching out city’s parking meters for new, digital pay stations is a no-go — at least in the short term. Speakers at the meeting, which also looked at a proposed reconfiguration for the First Avenue and Lansdowne Street intersection, expressed trepidation over the pay hubs. Several reported bad experiences with existing kiosks at Royal Inland Hospital and in off-street lots. Others worried the machines would be overtaken by better forms of technology in the next few years. Many also criticized the city’s plan to pay for the machines, which is to borrow about $1.7 million and pay the loan back over 10 years using some of the revenue from the new, higher meter rate — $1 an hour, instead of the current 50 cents — and from increased

fines for parking violations. The new machines and heavier fines are expected to generate an extra $920,000 in revenue for the city each year, about $209,000 of which would go to paying off the debt. Of the remaining cash, $359,000 would be set aside each year in a new parking solutions fund, which could be tapped to build new parking infrastructure. “Why don’t we simply raise the rates and wait two years, and then we have $1 million and we wouldn’t need to borrow any money?” suggested Chris Ortner to some applause. “I don’t think this plan is very prudent,” said Denis Walsh, a downtown business owner and former city councillor. “Why go into debt if you don’t want to? We’re in very tight fiscal times right now.” However, the idea didn’t sit as well with other business owners in the city’s core. Bill Sanesh Jr., owner of Bikini Bills, said he often hears from customers who want smart meters — which allow for credit-card payments and let businesses validate customers’ parking. He said taxpayers don’t need to worry that the plan will hit their wallets.

“Our proposal is completely self-funding,” he said. “I like when you’re concerned about the cost of the meters and the cost of repairs, but the reality is it isn’t going to cost the city.” Gay Pooler, general manger of the Kamloops Central Business Association, which originally suggested the parking changes to the city, said that putting in a rate hike without replacing the old parking meters could create a backlash downtown. “If you just raise the rates on the meters that we have there, then it’s a cash grab,” she said. “It’s not solving anything. If you raise the cost of something and give value for that money, people accept that.” The KCBIA asked for the new pay stations and higher rate in part to encourage people who work downtown to park on off-street lots, rather than on-street. Right now, parking on the street is cheaper, but takes up spots intended for customers. Pooler said the new machines will also improve the “customer experience” for downtown shoppers. City council will make a decision on the parking plans at its Tuesday, March 5 meeting.

STAFF REPORTER andrea@kamloopsthisweek.com

A new plan for the intersections in front of city hall would see traffic lights installed on Lorne and Lansdowne streets, a portion of First Avenue that merges with Lansdowne turned into a public park and drivers banned from turning left off Victoria Street onto First Avenue. Horst Broscheit thinks he has a simpler idea: Install a roundabout. The 80 year-old retired contractor brought his draft designs to a public input session on Tuesday, Feb. 26 at Interior Savings Centre and hopes the city will take a serious look at the idea. Why a roundabout? “I’m European,” Broscheit said. But, he also thinks the roundabout will improve the flow of traffic and cut down on pollution. Drivers on Lansdowne already face several traffic lights, he said, and don’t need another. “They step on the gas, on the break. On the gas, on the break,” he said. But, with fewer prolonged stops, cars will spend less time idling, thus creating fewer emissions. Since the roundabout won’t need traffic signals, Broscheit said his design will save on energy. The Lorne Street resident said he came up with the roundabout idea several years ago, when he first heard the city wanted to make changes to the intersections. “I couldn’t see what they had in mind there, with having the signal lights there and stopping the traffic,” he said. So, he sat on a nearby bench and sketched. When he heard about this week’s public meeting, he pulled out his old work. Broscheit said city CAO David Trawin seemed intrigued by the design when they spoke, though Trawin did not return calls to KTW before press deadline.

Tripping over their tongues as they attempt to govern

F

OR FOLKS WHO MUST rely on words as their stock and trade, politicians sure seem to be having trouble with them these days. Consider these examples: • Apparently, Prime Minister Stephen Harper is worried about folks who are cheating and collecting employment insurance when they shouldn’t be. Sort of like getting a housing allowance when you don’t really live there, but I digress. To combat this, his government (it is his, remember, not ours) is dispatching minions throughout the land to find these ne’er-do-wells and bring them to justice — and, in the process, each will recoup about $500,000 in illegally obtained EI monies from them. But, that figure is not a quota, according to federal Human Resources Minister Diane Finley. It’s a target. “There were no quotas for individuals,” Findley told reporters at Le Devoir newspaper in Montreal. “There are objectives, targets, to be sure.” Maybe my sense of logic is different than the good minister’s, but I’ve always thought a quota is a goal that people are given to try to meet — kind of like a target. I’ve checked some dictionaries and most define quota, among other descriptors, as an allotment, an assignment, a chunk, a measure and a part — words that could also be used to describe a target within the context of an amount of money they all have to come up with to keep the government happy. • Still with Harper, earlier this

DALE BASS Street

LEVEL month, he defended Sen. Pamela Wallin’s travel expenses — $142,190.26 from March 1, 2011, to Feb. 29, 2012 — as reasonable, even though only $10,551.99 was itemized as actual travel between Ottawa and Saskatchewan, the province she represents in the Senate. The rest — $131,638.27 — was listed on her expense sheets under the category of “other.” That’s a whole lot of other and sure doesn’t fit with what my definition of “other” would be. • Moving to our own little part of the country, I’d really love to know exactly what the words “families first” mean to Premier Christy Clark. In my world, given they represent her supposed guiding mantra as she governs, they mean families come first as her government makes decisions. How she can then rationalize her government’s decision to hurt families with disabled adults by cutting their support funding by up to one-third is beyond me. Yes, for those new to the column, I am the mother of one such person who, in a few years, will be a disabled adult. That has given me a unique window

into how some of his older friends live, struggling to survive on the shelter allowance that ranges from $375 to $820, according go the chart list on the government website. Try to find a place to rent for that amount in Kamloops. Add to it the difficulty finding a job and the many restrictions on how much they can make and you have a situation in which most of these adults are struggling in poverty or relying on family to help them make ends meet. Maybe that’s the families-first definition Clark is going for: Go to your family first and don’t expect the government to help you out. • Finally, we come to Kevin Krueger, the reporter’s dream and outgoing B.C. Liberal MLA for Kamloops-South Thompson. Krueger took exception to criticism launched at Pat Bell, the province’s minister of jobs, tourism and skills training and the minister responsible for labour. The criticism by the B.C. Conservative Party revolved around allegations by a businessman in Bell’s hometown of Prince George that the minister promised he’d be shortlisted for a government contract, which didn’t happen. In defending his friend, Krueger called the Conservatives morons, idiots and scum not worthy to tie Bell’s shoes. Krueger’s excuse? Bell was being attacked unfairly by the Conservatives. Someone needs to teach Krueger that bullying words are nothing more or less than that — and unbecoming a politician, no matter how he rationalizes it. dale@kamloopsthisweek.com

What Kevin Krueger says matters little. This is not a shot at the veteran B.C. Liberal MLA — it’s a simple fact. The bombastic Kamloops-South Thompson representative is winding down his political career and is not seeking re-election on May 14. Instead, he will return to a job at ICBC that has been waiting for him since he was first elected in 1996. Krueger continues to make headlines in the sunset of his political career, usually by making outlandish comments. After the B.C. Conservatives questioned Jobs Minister Pat Bell’s conduct in a proposed wooddesign centre in his Prince George riding (a story covered by the CBC and prompted by allegations raised by businessmen in Prince George who claim Bell promised their site would be shortlisted for the new wood centre), Krueger emailed a nasty message to the Conservatives: “Mr. Cummins, and everybody involved in this news release, are ‘Unmitigated’ MORONS to have published such crap as this. “Pat Bell is beloved in Prince George, for good reason. “There is not ONE of you scum worthy to tie his shoes — nor tall enough.” Again, Krueger is a non-entity in politics ever since he decided to not run, which is why KTW has been and will continue to seek out B.C. Liberal candidate Todd Stone on matters pertaining to KamloopsSouth Thompson. Nevertheless, the media loves juicy quotes and Krueger is a master chef at producing them. Usually, Krueger’s rants are good for shock value, serving as empty calories amid a menu of substance. However, the timing of his latest explosion is stunning in its irony. Yesterday (Feb. 27) was Pink Shirt Day, a day to denounce bullying of any kind. Only the most naive would not consider his insults (“morons” and “scum”) to be of a bullying nature. Yet, there was Krueger in Victoria, speaking to reporters and defending his email vitriol, refusing to apologize and denying it could be construed as bullying — all while wearing the official anti-bullying Pink Shirt. The irony is so obvious only Krueger could fail to see it.

Food security needs to be an election issue Editor: In the upcoming provincial-election campaign, local food security should be on our candidates’ minds. I am writing to tell voters about some action the Kamloops Food Policy Council (KFPC) is taking. The KFPC has existed since 1995 and has initiated many familiar projects in the city, including public produce, the Food Share program at the Kamloops Food Bank,

GardenGate and the City of Kamloops’ Food Action Plan. With the provincial election coming up, we believe it’s time to talk about why our local food economy is important and to engage political candidates on issues confronting food security in the two Kamloops ridings. A food-policy council mandate is needed to work with governments and agencies to create new policies that strengthen the

local food system in Kamloops. Many policies currently in place work against the farmer and local food. For example, there are too many barriers that prevent B.C. government-funded institutions from purchasing locally produced food. Kamloops residents are overly reliant on distant food sources and the highway network. I believe food security relies on increased local food produc-

tion and processing, on farmers who are supported by policies and infrastructure, on informed local consumers and on a sustainable livelihood. Across our community, the skills of food growing, processing and cooking are diminishing when, given the uncertainty of our times, they should be enhanced. The KFPC will be sending a questionnaire to all candidates in both Kamloops ridings, requesting informa-

tion about each party’s platform as it relates to food. We will publish the results before the election on our website, kamloopsfoodpolicycouncil.com. During the election campaign, we aim to raise awareness of the steps needed to create a vibrant, resilient and local food economy. Carole Hebden Communications committee Kamloops Food Policy Council

Dear city hall: Todd Road could use some TLC Singh’s jobs Editor: I read with interest that the city is going to widen Highland Road from Valleyview Drive to the roundabout in Juniper. I am writing with respect to the condition of Todd Road in Barnhartvale, in particular the section from Ronde Lane to Klahanie Drive, a 1.1-kilometre stretch not even two full lanes in width and without sidewalks. As a result, anyone walking in that area — and many do, including school kids — must walk on the road.

It has been particularly bad this winter as the road was not plowed to the edge. It is even worse if you are driving that section at night and encounter people walking on the road wearing dark clothing. Todd Road is not a

side street. It is the main road that services all the south half of the Barnhartvale subdivision. It is also the main route used by the city transit and school buses. It is also very interesting to see the assess-

ment rates are rising an average of .32 per cent, whereas Barnhartvale’s rates are increasing by a whopping 6.15 per cent. I am not asking for a three-lane highway; just two full lanes and a sidewalk would be nice. The city is very concerned with the number of pedestrian accidents recently. I am urging the city to do something with this section of road before the next accident takes place on Todd Road. Bud Forbes Kamloops

Nature is the real ‘gold mine’ we should all embrace Editor: I do not want the proposed Ajax mine or any other mine situated in or around Kamloops. I am not waiting for the “facts.” I do not want the surrounding landscape horribly scarred, the trees and grasslands uprooted or the birds, animals and reptiles forced out or annihilated. Kamloops is promoted as

Canada’s Tournament Capital — a tourist destination. It is bad enough we have to contend with the stink of Domtar. Please do not add another abomination to the mix. One less copper/gold mine in the world means nothing. The Japanese have a term called “shinrin yokin.” It means “forest bathing.”

Doctors prescribe it relieve stress, anxiety and depression. So, make the time, unplug the kids and leave your boom boxes, ATVs, rifles and beer cans behind. Try walking through nature in silence. It is your natural home. It will welcome and heal you. This is the real “gold mine.” Claudette Laffey Kamloops

rant rankles Editor: I am very disappointed with Coun. Arjun Singh’s latest rant about the possibility of 35 new high-paying jobs coming to Moly Cop Canada in Kamloops, claiming it a significant development for the Kamloops economy. What a slap in the face to the 125 Domtar employees who are losing their jobs in April as Domtar’s A line is shut down. Is this not a significant development for the Kamloops economy? Does Singh think this is a fair trade-off — the loss of 125 jobs to gain 35? I realize that creating 35 high-paying jobs is a good thing, but the loss of 125 high-paying jobs at Domtar is a tragedy. Remember, in 2008, Singh suggested the pulp mill should close for good. We will remember his support come election time. Rene Pellerin Kamloops

Council gives nod to airshed plan

A plan to keep Kamloops breathing easy has the approval of city council. Council this week signed off on an airshed-management plan, which contains strategies to maintain or improve the city’s air quality. Sustainability manager Jen Fretz told council staff will now get to work on the plan’s highest priority actions.

Those include getting bus services to the Tk’emlups Indian Band reserve, setting up a woodstove exchange program and replacing older city vehicles with emissions-reducing models. Through the plan, the city will also look at bringing in new regulations for drive-thrus, study the feasibility of a special gas levy in Kamloops to fund alternative-transportation options and ask the prov-

ince to set up a system that would track residents’ complaints about industrial and commercial odours. Fretz said many of the items in the plan are already budgeted for in other plans, so it’s not clear how much extra spending the airshed initiatives will require. To view the plan, go online to kamloops.ca/ breathe.

Is Coming to Size You Up

Are you tired of feeling saggy, lumpy, pinched or strained? Well you’re not alone. As you’ve probably seen on Oprah or read in women’s magazines, over 80 per cent of all women wear the wrong size bra. Here’s where Barb Chapman, the Bra Lady, comes in.

Chapman is coming to KAMLOOPS ON TUESDAY MAR. 12TH & WEDNESDAY MAR. 13TH to outfit you with the best possible bra for your body. Chapman said she will be seeing clients on a one-on-one basis, explaining the benefits of good bras and measuring their bodies properly. “Most women just want to find a good-fitting bra that’s not uncomfortable,” Chapman said. “What they don’t realize is that a good support bra is also important for blood circulation and enhanced lymph drainage.” Chapman has over 200 bra sizes available for ordering, ranging from 30AA to 52KK. It’s likely that you’ll fit somewhere between those sizes. She offers these questions for women to ask themselves: • Do you have a drawer full of bras but none that fit comfortably? • Does your bust line “bounce” when you walk while wearing your “everyday” bra? • Do you overflow the cup of your bra? • Do your bra straps slip off your shoulders or dig into your shoulders leaving red and painful marks? • Does your bra ride up in the back because you tighten the straps to give you added support? • Have you ever begun an exercise class only to drop out because your breasts ached from lack of support while jumping or running? If you answer yes to any of these you are in need of a new bra, and a custom one could be the way to go.

man going through a Ford F-150 pickup parked in the driveway. The truck owner, who lives downstairs, also heard the alarm and the pair confronted the man in the truck. A neighbour joined the group and recognized the man, who had fled before police arrived. He was later arrested in the area and found to have property from the truck with him. The truck sustained about $1,100 in damage, Learned said. The man was in court on Wednesday, Feb. 27, to face theft of property and vehicle-damage charges.

YOU’VE TRIED ALL THE REST - NOW TRY THE BEST

A 24-year-old Kamloops man will likely face two charges after a vehicle rolled over on Lac du Bois Road north of Kamloops on Tuesday, Feb. 26, at about 9:30 a.m. Kamloops RCMP Staff Sgt Grant Learned said neither the driver nor his 21-year-old female passenger were injured in the accident, which totalled the vehicle. Learned said the vehicle was likely travelling at about 120km/h at the time of the rollover. The man faces possible charges of impaired driving and driving with a blood-alcohol level greater than .08.

TRU’s Christmas bill raises eyebrows Canadian Taxpayers’ Federation questions $40,000 tab By Dale Bass STAFF REPORTER dale@kamloopsthisweek.com

The Canadian Taxpayers’ Federation (CTF) isn’t happy with the partying at Thompson Rivers University — at least the $40,000-plus it spent on Christmas functions last year. Jordan Bateman of the CTF said the university “is claiming a funding shortfall and that it can’t fund what it should be doing, and it seems there is a disconnect between that and spending $40,000 on parties.� The spending information was released as a result of a freedom-of-information request filed with the university by Radio NL. “When you’re facing, what is it, a $6-million shortfall? You have to dig your way out of it one little step at a time,� Bateman said.

“And this is one of those little steps it should be taking.� The university has been working to reduce its budget by two per cent to 2015, looking at options including not replacing staff who leave. It has already increased parking fees for staff and students to boost revenues. In dismissing the criticism, Christopher Seguin, TRU’s vicepresident of advancement, said the money was used to host “23 seasonal gatherings with 1,800 participants.� Most included a dinner, Seguin said, adding the actual cost worked out to be $21 per person — “or less than .002 per cent of our budget. “We have one season of celebration when we bring the people together,� he said, noting spending “$21 per person per person per year to acknowledge them� doesn’t seem excessive. The money spent remained for the most part on campus as well, Seguin said, since most of the parties were catered by the university’s culinary-arts department.

Fehr cites access to doctors as impetus to run By Andrea Klassen STAFF REPORTER andrea@kamloopsthisweek.com

A semi-retired former miner, contractor and baker is set to challenge B.C. Liberal MLA Terry Lake and B.C. NDP candidate Kathy Kendall in Kamloops-North Thompson. Ed Fehr, president of the B.C. Conservative Kamloops-North Thompson riding association, was announced as the party’s nominee this week via Twitter. Fehr said he decided to get involved in politics after his wife, Naomi, suffered from serious back problems and needed an operation she couldn’t seem to get. “Nothing was being done. I’d gone to [Premier] Christy Clark, I’d gone to Terry Lake, I’d gone to the opposition, a number of different people, and I had no response whatsoever,� he said.

“I thought they could at least acknowledge that I’d tried to contact them in regards to my wife.� Fehr sees increasing access to doctors as a major priority for the next provincial government, but isn’t sure of the specifics of the Conservatives’ plan to do so. “I know we have things in the policy that would speak into that. I would have to go back over that,� he said. “But, we need to have more doctors and the health-care system needs to be completely revamped.� Fehr said he was attracted to the Conservative cause because of the party’s integrity. “I’ve really checked these people out and I’ll tell you what, they just come up with flying colours,� he said. “[B.C. Conservative Leader] John Cummins speaks to me of integrity, honesty, whereas I don’t see that with the

other parties. “Every time I listen to the news, I’m hearing some real nasty stories coming out about both the NDP and the Liberals.� Fehr said his goal, if elected, is to be an advocate for Kamloops-North Thompson residents. He said he is inspired by Cyril Shelford, the former Skeena and Omineca Social Credit MLA he met as a young man, who impressed Fehr with his dedication to his constituents. “When I say that to the people in Kamloops-North Thompson, they say, ‘Yes, Ed, that’s the kind of a guy we need representing us here,’� Fehr said. “A guy that’s willing to have boots on the ground, go door-to-door and talk to people and bring their issues back to Victoria. “They feel they’re not being listened to.�

Meter reading stands at $100 City council won’t accede to resident’s request Seniors who choose to have non-radiofrequency water meters won’t be getting help from council paying the bill to have those meters read. Sigi White wrote to council, asking the city to waive the $100 annual fee the city plans to charge for manual water meter readings in cases where seniors can prove they are on fixed or low incomes. She said she chose not to get a smart meter because of health concerns and doesn’t think it is fair the city should ask her to pay extra for meter readings as a result. White suggested she could read her meter herself, but community safety and corporate services director David Duckworth said there’s value to having the readings done by city staff, who can monitor for leaks and let residents know if they’re in danger of exceeding their water allotments. Public works director Tracy Kyle said those who don’t want to pay the $100 can always switch over to the smart meters free of charge.

CITY HALL So far, 75 homes in the city have the nonradio-frequency meters, compared to 15,400 with smart meters. Mayor Peter Milobar said the $100 charge may sound more arduous than it is, since metered billing will reduce the water charges to the average home to about $400 from $520. “If they’re using water within the confines of what the new system is — which over 60 per cent of the homes we’ve charted to, with green lawns and gardens and everything — they’re still at $500 instead of $520,” he said. Council agreed to send White a letter of response, but didn’t take any action on her request.

Cavers’ DCC plan panned by peers A plan to let cities pay for fire protection, policing and other services through levies on new development

didn’t get past the idea stage at Kamloops city council. Coun. Donovan Cavers put forward a resolution this week, asking the Union of B.C. Municipalities to lobby the provincial government to give communities more flexibility in what they do with development-cost charges. The charges, collected from new developments, can be used to fund sewer, water, road and other infrastructure improvements. But, Cavers said, the city should also be able to collect and use those funds to pay for new fire halls and other community-safety demands developments at the edges of the city — such as the proposed Tranquille on the Lake, which Cavers namechecked — might have. Other councillors said the motion would sour the city’s relationship with developers and would be unlikely to find support from other municipalities. “I believe the perception would be that we were trying to stick it to the developers,” said Coun. Pat Wallace.

“I think our building statsitics would drop to zero. I don’t think anyone would drive another nail in this city.” Coun. Nancy Bepple said she doesn’t want Kamloops to sprawl, but believes the city should address that in its Official Community Plan, not through fees.

Games volunteers will board bus for free Volunteers, officials and athletes taking part in the BC Seniors Games will be able to hop on the bus for free between competitions during the four-day summer event. City council has agreed to offer free transit to Games personnel who present their official accreditation when boarding the bus. About 1,600 volunteers and staff and 4,000 athletes and officials are expected for the Games, which will be held at various Kamloops venues from Aug. 20 to Aug. 24. City staff, though, does not expect most Games volunteers to spend much time using public transit.

SIMON DAVID ROFE DOUGLASS Sadly, Simon was found dead in Kelowna, BC, on Thursday, February 21st, 2013. He died of a drug overdose. He is survived by his parents Chuck and Penny, brother Andrew (Lilah and Laredo), grandmother Norma Rofe, and many aunts, uncles and cousins. Simon was born in RIH, in Kamloops, on January 4th, 1983. He attended Lloyd George Elementary School and graduated from John Peterson Secondary School in 2001. He was a happy, active boy. He learned to alpine ski by age 3 and spent every available winter day skiing or snowboarding at Tod Mtn. until he was 18. He loved the family cabin at “the mountain” and shared many weekends there with friends. He was a competitive racer with the Tod Mtn. and Sun Peaks Alpine Clubs. He was also a Level 1 Coach with the NGSL. As well as winter sports, Simon played house league soccer, enjoyed fishing, spent many family trips hiking, biking and camping. He was also a member of 3rd Kamloops Cubs/Scouts. He was a happy, likeable boy with lovely blue eyes, an infectious grin, and a good sense of humor. Simon had lots of friends and enjoyed the company of others. In the years after high school he did a variety of jobs and was skilled with tools and machinery. Unfortunately, his drug addiction got control of him and he was unable to make responsible choices. The last couple of years were an extremely difficult time for him and we can only hope and pray that he has found some peace now. Please try to remember the good times shared with Simon. We would like to thank everyone who has supported him, and us, on this journey. We love you and miss you, Simon. Donations in Simon’s memory would be appreciated by: Phoenix Center Detox Unit, 922 3rd Ave., Kamloops, BC, V2C 6W5 or PIT Stop Meal Program, Kamloops United Church, 421 St. Paul St., Kamloops, BC, V2C 2J7.

MARGARET “PEGGY” LILLIAN ARMISHAW It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Peggy Armishaw on Wednesday February 20 at Kamloops Senior’s Village. She is happy now that she is able to join her husband and two sons. Peggy was predeceased by her parents George and Lillian Atkinson, her husband Joe and her sons Don and Ken. Peggy leaves to mourn her grandchildren Mark (Holly) of Edmonton AB, Trisha (Rick) Dux of Sylvan Lake AB and Ryan (Kartini) of Edmonton AB great grandchildren Tyson, Ethan, Braden, Kiera, Isis, Little Joe, and the newest granddaughter, born the day after Peggy’s passing, Anara Lillian, relatives David and Jean Joseph of Swanage England, David Armishaw of London England, George and Tess Bramen of Westbank, goddaughter Barbara and Jim Gorselin and good friends Bud and Jo-Lynn Forbes. Peggy was born in Calgary Alberta on May 21 1923. She attended school in Calgary and after leaving school joined the RCAF. It was here that she met the love of her life, Joe. They were married in Calgary April 13,1945 and moved to Kamloops where their two sons were born. Joe’s job with the Indian and Northern Affairs took them from Kamloops to Vanderhoof, to Whitehorse Yukon, to Williams Lake and back to Kamloops. In 1967 they purchased 19 Mile Ranch in Barnhartvale where they lived until failing health forced them to move into town. Over the years she lived in several Senior’s Residences. Peggy spent many years as a school secretary at Kamloops Senior Secondary. She was an active volunteer in many community and church groups. A memorial service for Peggy will be held sometime in the spring.

JAMES ALBERT KEETCH 1950 - 2013 Surrounded by his warm embrace we said our goodbyes to a loving husband and father, James Albert Keetch, on February 22, 2013. He will be missed by his wife, Sandie; daughter, Jenna and son, Rod (Paige). Jim was born in Penticton on July 29th, 1950. He sampled the hospitality of several cities in BC before settling in Monte Lake for his formative years as the son of a rancher. At 16, he headed for Vancouver to complete his education and begin his career as a mechanic. A Kamloops boy at heart, he returned in 1968 to begin an apprenticeship with Finning. With the exception of an amazing 12 years in Revelstoke, during which he married and began a family, he has remained a Kamloops man. Some of his greatest gifts have been as a cultivator and mechanic. He leaves to mourn him many brothers and sisters and a very large family of the heart. He cultivated friendships and repaired relationships so that his family of the heart is large and so closely entwined that they are indeed his true family. Listen carefully and you will hear his infectious laughter combined with yours as he shares one more joke. Gone ridin’…. A Celebration of Life will be held at Kamloops Convention Center on Saturday, March 2nd at 1:00 pm. Should friends desire, donations may be made to The Royal Inland Hospital Foundation. Service arrangements entrusted to Schoening Funeral Service, 250-374-1454.

August 14, 1948-February 13, 2013 It is with great sadness that we announce the sudden passing of John Stewart at the age of 64. John is predeceased by his loving wife of 35 years, Gail. He will be greatly missed by his children Wade (Emmalene), Carla, Lindsay (Mark) and Jamie (Becky). His grandchildren Jacob, Ryen, Hayden, Riley, Callum and Ren will all very much miss their Papa John, and he will be fondly remembered by many relatives and friends. John was born in 1948 in Niagara Falls, Ontario, living there until after he graduated with a degree in business from Niagara College, earning the prestigious Dean Wyatt Award. He met Gail and they moved to Kamloops in 1976, where they married. John and Gail founded Stewart Mortgage in 1982. The company recently celebrated 30 years in business, with son Jamie working alongside John for the past 5 years. Along with a group of Kamloops business men, John was one of the founding directors of Kam-Mic Investment Corp in 1983. Over the last 35 years in Kamloops John played Old Timer Hockey, he was one of the original members of Friday Noon Goons Hockey, a longtime member of Rivershore Golf Club, an active member of the Kamloops Rotary Club and a longtime supporter and season ticket holder of the Kamloops Blazers. He was very active in the community, coaching softball and minor hockey and sponsoring many charity events and youth sports teams in town. John had a big personality and was truly larger than life. A gregarious, positive person, he was always ready with a joke and a smile and he instantly made you feel like a friend. John enjoyed playing hockey and golf, spending time with his family and having a pint with his friends. He loved life, played hard and truly lived life to the fullest. His passing leaves a huge hole in the lives of his family and we will carry him in our hearts forever. A celebration of John’s life will be held on Sunday March 17, 2013 from 1-4pm at the Colombo Lodge. The family would like to thank the staff at Royal Inland Hospital who cared for John in his last few days, particularly the nursing staff in the ICU. In addition, family doctor Bruce Newmarch and the doctors at the Kelowna Cancer Clinic provided John with exceptional care.

Savior ___ atoned for the sins of a grief-stricken world by “pouring out his blood as a propitiatory offering” while stretched upon the cross. But, before the crucifixion, “he soon became surrounded by many earnest followers and the people in vast multitudes followed him, crying aloud, ‘This is indeed the Redeemer promised to our fathers.’” His pathway was thickly strewn with miracles, which consisted of healing the sick, curing lepers, restoring the dumb, deaf and blind, raising the dead, aiding the weak, comforting the sorrow-stricken, relieving the oppressed and casting out devils.

He came, as he declared, “to reject evil and restore the reign of good, and redeem man from the consequences of the fall, and deliver the oppressed earth from its load of sin and suffering.” His disciples believed him to be God himself and millions worshiped him.

event Ranford to reach milestone Speed-skiing returns to Sun Peaks By Marty Hastings STAFF REPORTER sports@kamloopsthisweek.com

“It’s crazy to think that I’ve been here for five years. It’s gone by so fast. I can still remember playing my first game when I was 15. The fans were loud and it was my first experience playing in front of a huge crowd and it was a lot of fun. I love it here.”

C.J. Stretch: Will move to second all-time in games played as a Kamloops Blazer.

B

RENDAN Ranford will play his 342nd game in a Kamloops Blazers’ uniform this weekend, passing former teammate C.J. Stretch to occupy the No. 1 spot on the all-time list. “Me and C.J. used to live together [with billets Archie and Maureen Houchen] when I was 16 and he was 19, and I was here when he broke the record,” Ranford said. “It’s pretty funny that, four or five years later, I’m going to break his record.” Ranford, should he remain healthy, will pass Stretch on Saturday, March 2, when the Vancouver Giants invade Interior Savings Centre. Game time is 7 p.m. The 20-year-old from Edmonton has accomplished a lot during his time with the Blue and Orange. Here are some of the Blazer records Ranford holds: Seventh in alltime scoring with 343 points, six back of Hnat Domenichelli; 10th player to reach 300-plus points; seventh to reach 200-plus assists; 10th in goals with 133; and No. 19 is the first Blazer with three-consecutive 70-point seasons since Darcy Tucker.

Ranford and the Blazers worked their way up the standings.) Ranford is most proud of the points statistic — “If I get above 350, I’ll be sixth all-time in Blazer scoring and that’s a pretty impressive stat, with how many legendary players that have come through here,” he said — but he would trade personal triumph in for a title in a heartbeat.

“The biggest thing would be to bring back a championship here as a Blazer, to win as a team and to be remem-

bered for that.” The going has been tough at times for Ranford during his tenure in Kamloops. In March 2011, he was suspended six games for crosschecking an official and Ranford’s fitness came into question earlier in his career. Those mistakes, he said, were part of a learning process. “You definitely have

regrets, but you learn from those things and you move on as a person,” Ranford said. “I think I’m not the person I am today without those things that I did do. I think I’m a better man and a good leader for this team.” Blazer head coach Guy Charron has paid close attention to Ranford’s development on and off the ice. “It’s always rewarding when you have an opportunity to work with someone for a number of years and see the transition as a player and also as a person,” said Charron, who has coached Ranford since November 2009. “You’ve got to grow into a certain identity and a certain player and I think he’s developed to be that.” Blazer publicaddress announcer Bill O’Donovan will likely make mention of Ranford’s feat at Saturday’s game, the crowd will show its appreciation and play will resume. “I don’t think I’ll be emotional,” Ranford said. “I think it’s just a good accomplishment that I’ve had, to play that many games and to play with a historic franchise like the Kamloops Blazers. “I’m not sure, though, maybe I’ll shed a few tears, but we’ve got a game to play, so . . .”

Daredevil speed-skiers are getting ready to fly down Tod Mountain at the 22nd Sun Peaks FIS Speed Ski World Cup event, which runs today (Feb. 28) to Sunday, March 3. “We feel honoured to be able to say we are the only speed-ski race in North America,” event organizer Adam Earle said. “Sun Peaks is truly the hotbed of speed-skiing in North America and it’s an extreme-ski event that people have to see to actually believe.“ Racers from 10 countries will careen down the Headwalls Speed Skiing Track at more than 170 km/h. Practice sessions today are the pre-cursor to World Cup racing, which runs on Friday, March 1, and Saturday, March 2. “Most of our racing happens from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. each day, depending on the weather,” Earle said. “The best spot to watch from is the bottom of the Little Headwalls for skiers or boarders and, for non-skiers, we have two viewing areas on either side of the finish area.” If the World Cup events are completed as scheduled on Friday and Saturday, skiers will attempt to reach 177.21 km/h, a course record set by Sun Peaks local Kenny Dale.

Sunrays fare well at provincial championship Katie Hohensee and Naomi Woolverton represented the Kamloops Sunrays Synchronized Swim Club on the weekend at the provincial championships in Surrey. Hohensee placed first in solo competition and sixth in figures, with Woolverton earning third in solo and 11th in figures.

The twosome placed first in their duet and first in the championship, improving their scores from regional championships. The next meet for the FINA junior national swimmers is in Calgary, where they will attempt to qualify for the national championships, held in Quebec City.

Barker recognized by CCA with Ray Kingsmith award Dianne Barker will receive the Canadian Curling Association’s (CCA) annual Ray Kingsmith Award for Commitment and Dedication to Curling in 2013. The Kamloops Curling Club member has participated in the sport as an athlete, an administrator, an official and as a CCA and CurlBC board member. Barker was the chief umpire at the 2011 and 2012 world junior championships and deputy chief of competition at the 2010 Olympic Winter Games in Vancouver. Barker will work as an on-ice official at the 2014 Olympic Winter Games in Sochi, Russia.

Peters, Mohawks head to Hall Brian Peters and the 1955-56 North Kamloops Mohawks baseball team will be inducted to the Kamloops Sports Hall of Fame on April 13 in the Grand Hall at Thompson Rivers University. “Peters came to Kamloops in 1974, impacting the lives of the basketball community, teaching and coaching at McArthur Park and John Peterson junior secondaries, along with NorKam and Brocklehurst secondaries,” a press release said. Peters, along with co-coach Alf Konrad, guided the NorKam Saints to four medalwinning appearances at the B.C. High School rugby championships, including a first-place finish in 1983. He spent 24 years at Brocklehurst, taking the senior girls’ basketball team to nine Okanagan titles and six provincial championship appearances. The Mohawks were assembled from the many JapaneseCanadians who relocated to Kamloops after the Second World War. The 1955 and 1956 Mohawks won B.C. Interior Baseball League championships. The highlight of the two-year period was winning the Dominion Day Tournament at Riverside Park. The teams surviving members are Tom and Gord Miyahara, Stan and Spud Kato, Sam Aura, Dave Kuromi, Tosh Takanaka, Ken Kochi, Joe Yamake, Henry Mori, Ted Isobe, Rudy Morelli, Jim Motokado and Dick Lee. Coach Pat Miyahara has passed away, along with players Sho Yamada, Joe and Sam Motokado, Art Yuen, Steve Varanai and Richard Oikawa. Seiji Kazama coached the team before Miyahara took the reins.

The Annual Mortgage Check-up For many Canadians, a mortgage is a once-every-five-year-chore. Fears about rates, costs and changes make this as enjoyable as paying taxes. However, a mortgage should be a tool to help you reach your goals, and that means planning. Life changes often dictate different mortgage strategies: are you starting or growing a family, starting a business, experiencing loss or interruption of income, planning home renovations, purchasing investment property or facing other major expenditures? A mortgage review can assess if your current mortgage’s interest rate, payments and options will help reach your goals. Low interest rates make it a good time for homeowners to give their mortgage a second look. Here are some common reasons to revisit your mortgage: •Paying down your mortgage faster: If you receive extra cash like an inheritance, tax refund or a work bonus, think about putting it toward your mortgage. For example, paying an extra $3,000 once every year toward the principal on a $250,000 mortgage can result in interest savings of $42,442 over the life of the mortgage, assuming a 25-year amortization and a fixed rate of 4.19%. •Lowering monthly payments: Renegotiating for a lower interest rate or higher amortization can protect your finances from unforeseen expenses, reduced income, and allow you to save up a rainy day fund. •Debt consolidation: Boost your cash flow or pay down your debt faster by taking high interest debt like a credit card balance and consolidating it into your mortgage. Your debt moves from multiple high payments, into one lower mortgage payment. Most lenders allow extra payments of 20% per year, so pay more when you have more! •Securing a Home Equity Line of Credit (HELOC): A HELOC can help you access lower-cost funds for investing, such as topping up your RRSP or TFSA contribution. It can also help you pay for home improvement projects or just be available for peace of mind. •Improving credit: A mortgage professional can discuss any credit concerns or issues and coach you on how to improve your credit score. Good credit advice can help you work toward cheaper future borrowing costs and better mortgage options. •Identifying concerns: Mortgages are supposed to work for you. If you are unsure about specific mortgage functions or benefits, an annual check-up can be a great time to discuss concerns, learn how to set up extra payments, change your payment date and more. In the end, a yearly mortgage checkup could reveal that the best course of action is no change at all… there is satisfaction in knowing that as well! Whether you are a first-time homebuyer, up for renewal or refinancing, there are many unique and competitive products available on the market today.

Kamloops earns kudos at Georgie Awards Kamloops builders left Vancouver on the weekend with three honours at the21st annual Georgie Awards, the Canadian Home Builders’ Association of BC (CHBA BC) event that recognizes the best in building in the province. Mibroc Group, which has won Georgie Awards in the past, beat several large companies, including Genex Development Corporation and Hungerford Group, to win the 2012 Best Multi-Family Low Rise Development Georgie Award for its Paloma development, a Sun Rivers golf resort community. “This just goes to show that British Columbia’s residential construction industry — whether big business or small — continues to raise the bar of quality and excellence in B.C.’s homes,” said CHBA BC president Nathan Stone. Nicki Rhonner, executive assistant to Mibroc Group president Darryl Caunt, said

the company employs fewer than 20 staff at both its main office and sales centre. Mibroc was also a finalist for a Grand Georgie this year in the Custom Home Builder of the Year category. “This is the first time Kamloops has ever offered resort-style condominium living. It was an unmet need in the market,” she said. “It’s nice to receive recognition for our hard work. Also winning a Georgie was DW Builders for the makeover of the Isfeld residence in the category of Best Residential Renovation $300,000 to $499,999. Rounding out the Kamloops kudos was the 2012 Training House, built as a partnership between the Canadian Home Builders’ Association - Central Interior and Thompson Rivers University For a full list of Georgie Awards winners, and to view photos, go online to georgieawards.ca.

‘He knows he can’t have everything the other kids have’ By Tim Petruk STAFF REPORTER tim@kamloopsthisweek.com

Seven days after Adam Clarke was born to proud parents Bonnie and Steve, the family received news that changed the way they will live for the rest of their lives. “The newborn screening was how we found out,” Bonnie told KTW. “We didn’t know at all what it was.” Adam, born on Feb. 20, 2008, was diagnosed with mediumchain acyl-coenzyme A dehydrogenase deficiency (MCADD). The disease is rare. Bonnie said Adam is the only person in Kamloops with the condition. “There’s a mediumchain fat he can’t break down,” Bonnie said. “He has to make sure he’s eating every three hours.” Bonnie used the example of someone who is laid up in bed with a bad cold. A person without MCADD would be able to last hours and hours without consuming food. Adam’s body would go into metabolic decompensation — meaning he would starve. Now a happy fiveyear-old months away from his first day of kindergarten, Adam’s condition is treated with snacks. Lots of snacks. “It’s wake up, juice, breakfast, snack, lunch, snack, dinner, snack,” Bonnie said, adding that a mixture of milk and corn starch before bed lets Adam sleep through the night without needing to eat. “The corn starch expands him out so he can go 12 hours without eating.” He also takes medicine three times a day, which helps his body flush out fats he can’t break down. Until recently, the Clarkes were making twice-yearly trips to BC Children’s Hospital in Vancouver so Adam

could get checkups. Now that he’s five, though, those trips to the Lower Mainland will become yearly. Bonnie also has a letter to present to emergency-room staff at Royal Inland Hospital in case Adam gets sick. Because of his condition, any vomiting or diarrhea could prove fatal if immediate action isn’t taken in the form of a special IV. With school on the horizon, Bonnie said Adam is starting to take ownership of his condition. “He knows now to ask, ‘Can I have that or can I not have that?’” Bonnie said. “He’s getting there. He knows he can’t have everything the other kids have.”

Today (Feb. 28) is International Rare Disease Day. In Vancouver, a presentation and question-and-answer session is taking place at BC Children’s Hospital.

WEEKLY CROSSWORD

Kamloops from a different perspective A photography festival shooting to show off extraordinary images of the Tournament Capital captured by local photographers is kicking off tomorrow (March 1). Kamloops Thru the Lens is set to launch with an opening session running from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. at the Old Courthouse Cultural Centre, 7 Seymour St. W. The festival will run through March 23, showcasing more than 20 stunning images — all shot by members of the Kamloops Photo Arts Club within the boundaries of the City of Kamloops and the Tk’emlups Indian Band reserve. Images include shots of the new roundabout on Lorne Street stitched together to show a unique perspective, the iconic Moose Squadron fighter jet lit by moonlight, an infra-red tornado over Mount Paul and

other unique shots of buildings and landmarks every Kamloopsian will recognize. Throughout the festival, Kamloops Photo Arts Club members will be available on Saturdays between

10 a.m. and 4 p.m. to explain how the images were accomplished and captured. For more information about Kamloops Thru the Lens, log on to the club’s website at kamloopsphotoarts.ca.

T A DOWNTOWN cafe, I order a mocha with a dusting of cayenne swirled into the proprietary cocoa mix. (The cocoa and espresso warm the palate with bitter and sweet, and then the cayenne wakes it up with a blush of heat.) And since it’s a special occasion, I also order a cannoli before taking a seat by the window where I can watch the door. I’m early, and have a little time to wonder what Carin, a writer-friend I’ve known for years by email, will look like. I wonder whether I’ll know her right away.

TRAVEL

Taking the Mongolian steppe By Irene Butler SPECIAL TO KTW travelwriterstales.com

C

HINGGIS KHAAN sits astride his powerful stead clutching a golden whip in his right hand. This behemoth statue of the legendary 13th-century Golden Horde leader (who we know as Genghis Khan) rises 40 metres from on top of the 10-metre visitors centre and is fashioned from 250 tonne of stainless steel. Our guide, Undra, proudly says, “Chinggis united the tribes of the steppes, named them Mongols and, with an army of 100,000 skilled horsemen, conquered the most powerful civilizations of the time. What is less known is he introduced written script, religious freedom and sought to incorporate universal political and economic systems.” Today, he symbolizes united strength to Mongolians, making this a significant stop en route to our overnight stay in a nomad community. Sanjay, our driver, pulls onto the dusty road again. The vast steppes (grasslands) give a sense of infinity; distant gers (yurts) appear as white dots with patches of grazing sheep and cattle. Of the country’s 2.75 million citizens, 30 per cent are nomadic or semi-nomadic. Arriving at a small cluster of gers, Undra leads us to the main ger of our host family.

We are famished, but not for long. Okto, the lady of the house, spoons out delicious mutton, cabbage and noodle soup, plus buuz (steamed dough filled with minced meat and onion). All meals are cooked in a well-worn steel wok that fits over the woodstove/ger heater, which also serves as a basin to wash the dishes. Water is hauled from a community well a kilometre away. Yet, modernity has found its way into today’s nomadic lifestyle. A satellite dish bleeps signals to their flat-screen TV, an electric washing machine stands in one corner and Okto answers calls on her cellphone. The sound of galloping horses and cheering crowds draws us down the street to where a miniNadaam is going on. What luck! This is the next best thing to the National Nadaam Festival, held annually on July 12 and July 13 in which participants from all over Mongolia compete in horse-riding, archery (once only for males, but now open to females) and wrestling (still only for the testosterone gender). As we join the circle of spectators, five young winners of the horse race are honoured in the traditional way — a medal and drink of airag (fermented mare’s milk) — and, for the horse, a splash of airag on his backside. One young fellow looks about five and a girl not much older, fitting the five-to-13 age group common for jockeys.

Wrestling begins. A dozen men strut out. Only one wears the traditional wrestling costume comprised of a blue Speedo-type bottom and top covering his arms and back. Undra chuckles: “The chest of a wrestler is exposed as once, long ago, a strong woman entered the competition disguised as a man, so is an insurance against this happening again.” Wrestling in pairs, winners are pitted against winners until the final match between the fellow in traditional garb and an agile opponent with six-pack abs. They lock in a slow dance, until bluebottoms makes a quick clever move and wins. With arms stretched, he soars like an eagle around the national flag to celebrate his victory. Toward evening, Okto’s husband Dasha arrives home. He has a dynamic presence but, like Okto, speaks no English. When Undra reveals he is a shaman, I am somehow not surprised. My spine tingles as he relates through Undra how he deals with 77 sky spirits, calling them down with the well-worn drum hanging from the ceiling; his body a channel for their healing powers and wisdom. The gracious hospitality shown us by our Mongolian family plucked at our heartstrings and the timelessness and the sense of infinity of the steppes are forever ingrained in our memories.

FAITH

‘Love’ is not a noun — it is an action verb

V

ALENTINE’S DAY came and went only two weeks ago and, with ‘love’ still in the air, a sobering facet of real love, namely sacrificial love, could spur us on to some deeper reflection. The Old Testament story of Abraham’s call to sacrifice his only son Isaac (Genesis 22:1-19) is well-known to Jewish, Christian and Muslim minds. Over the ages, it has been illustrated in many sermons as lessons in loving God over families. Abraham’s love for God was sorely tried, but when God said, “Take your only son Isaac, whom you love,” He was proving the patriarch’s love at its deepest level. When Abraham had reached a lofty theological position in life, it was now to be expected that his love to God would be commensurate with his confession. But, this had to be proved. It is one thing to give expression to lofty theological conceptions, but quite another matter to prove correspondingly our love to the God we profess to name. I am persuaded that love to

statement that will God, in proportion always stand as the to our knowledge proof of love — “If of doctrine, is the you love me, keep my missing factor in the commandments.” evangelical circles I wonder if we today. Paul warned have ever thought of it when he wrote, our way through to “Knowledge puffs up, the obedience of but love edifies.” NARAYAN MITRA love. How have we With Abraham, treated the teachings however, it was quite You Gotta Have of God’s Word which different. FAITH has been brought to His love to God bear upon our mind? corresponded with The proof of love goes even knowledge of God. Grace and truth further than this, because from the were beautifully blended. narrative we find it was manifested When God proved Abraham, by the offering of love: “Now I there was obedience of love. God know that you fear God, seeing could say of Abraham, “You have you have not withheld your son, obeyed my voice.” That was a great commendation your only son from me,” said God. God declared, “Now I know.” at any time, but even greater when Abraham’s love has never been considered against the background proved in this fashion before. The of this story. love was there, no doubt, and if God told him, “Take now your son, your only son whom you love there, God knew it. But, the valuable point here is . . . and offer him for a burnt offering.” What would we have done in that God expected a practical evidence of it. the face of such a command? No wonder James exclaimed, Only true love to God could respond to such a test. That is why “Was not Abraham our father justified by works when he offered Jesus closed his ministry with a

up Isaac his son upon the altar?” (James 2:21). What about our own self-surrender to God? Can we stand with Abraham and say, “Lo, everything is on the altar — what I am or what I have. Take this offering of unspeakable costliness as a proof of my love to you.” In relation to the offering of Isaac, it is important to recognize that for Abraham the act of giving not only involved unspeakable costliness, but it implied unshakable confidence. There was no unintelligent resignation or blind surrender. On the contrary, the offering of love was the expression of what Paul calls “the faith which works by love” (Gal. 5:6). The writer of the book of Hebrews tells us that “By faith Abraham when he was tried, offered up Isaac . . . accounting that God was able to raise him up” (Heb. 11:17-19). Isaac without God was nothing; but God without Isaac was everything. Abraham knew that to surrender his costliest offering to God was

not to lose it, but to receive it back in resurrection power and richness. Such unshakable confidence in God must surely condemn our shameful reluctance to offer our all to God. How often we have thought of surrender as something unpleasant and unrewarding, instead of the act by which we prove the perfect will of God and enter into the fullness of joy. May God forgive us for our unresponsiveness and bring us to our Mount Moriahs where “it shall be seen” whether or not we do love God with all our heart, mind, and strength. We would then find that the proof of our love will be rewarded with a new vision of God’s substitute Ram — Jesus — giving His life in sacrifice. And, as we gaze upon that bleeding sacrifice of Calvary, we will be reminded afresh that the only reason why we can say, “I love God,” is because He first loved us.
