Mayor wants mine within city limits

WHAT LIES UNDERNEATH KEG conference/ trade show 2013

There’s a tree on the Iron Mask trailer property that has fallen over. Right next to it is upturned gravel — and beneath that is an old mine shaft, one of many on the property that has at least 26 kilometres of mine tunnels beneath those homes, according to Kamloops geologist Colin Russell. “I’m betting most people who live there don’t know they’re living on top of an old mine,” Russell said while taking a break from his involvement in the 26th annual Kamloops Exploration Group conference and trade show at the Coast Kamloops Hotel and Convention Centre. Fellow geologist Perry Grunenberg agreed. “There is a disconnect for people,” he said. “They don’t seem to equate the things around them with minerals that came from a mine.” The two are often asked their views on the proposed Ajax mine.

RECORD-SETTING CONFERENCE The Kamloops Exploration Group conference and trade show set an attendance record for the two-day event, with 532 delegates from around the world registered on the first day and more expected on the final day. What started as a pub crawl by geologists back in the 1980s, where they could relax and share their mutual interest in their industry while learning about what was happening in others parts of the province, eventually formalized into the event 26 years ago.

The first formal conference, KEG member Perry Grunenberg said, likely had about 100 people. This year’s version, which began on Tuesday, April 9, and ended on Wednesday, April 10, also provided an opportunity for students to attend for career-planning information. A series of technical talks on projects around the province drew plenty of interest, Grunenberg said — so much so that about a dozen of the proposals couldn’t be accommodated.

In the next few years, Mayor Peter Milobar hopes to see a copper and gold mine within the boundaries of Kamloops. No, not necessarily that one. Milobar told city council this week he wants to determine if the city can extend its boundaries to the west to annex the New Afton mine. The move comes as council is facing pressure from the city’s heavy industrial players — most notably Domtar — to lower their tax burden. Domtar engineering and strategic planning manager Bill Adams told media the company would like to see its bill come down from about $6 million to $3 million, which he says is more in line with the provincial average. Milobar said taxes from the New Afton mine could help make up some of that revenue gap, should council decide on a more dramatic tax shift in the years ahead than the change it implemented this week (see story on page A5). “Their workforce is 100 per cent based in Kamloops and, frankly speaking, we’re the only form of local government that’s not benefitting from that operation,” Milobar told councillors, who seemed largely enthusiastic about the plan. It wouldn’t be the first time the city has tried to absorb the mine. A similar effort took place in the 1970s, Milobar said, and the mine’s owners threatened to shutter the operation if the city extended its boundaries. “But, a lot’s changed,” Milobar said. “You have to keep in perspective, Aberdeen Mall hadn’t even been built. That was considered way out of town. Now it’s literally bordering on an area where we’re considering developing a new light-industrial park.” Milobar said he has met with mine personnel to let them know “that I’m kicking around an idea in my head.” However, he said it remains to be seen how onerous the costs for the mine would be if it were absorbed by the city, and whether the new provincial government that will be elected in May is willing to support the expansion plan.

THE HAIRY TRINITY IS DELIVERED Rescuing Trinity took some time because of the location of the pole and the fact the wires near her were live, said Simi Heer of BC Hydro’s media-relations department.

By Dale Bass STAFF REPORTER dale@kamloopsthisweek.com

Clint Stooshnoff always thought he was a dog person — until he met Trinity. The little ball of black fluff came into his life two years ago when a friend bought the kitten and presented it to the university student. Trinity had a bit of a history for a kitten. She had been tormenting the dog her previous owner also owned and that was why he was selling her. Trinity caused Stooshnoff his own torment for several days when she ended up stranded at the top of a hydro pole about 400 feet from his home on Whiteshield Crescent in Sahali. She went up on last week, likely scared up to her new roost by another animal in the area, and was finally brought down by BC Hydro workers on Tuesday, April 9. “I’ve seen her go halfway up a tree, but then she comes down. She never goes to the top,” said Stooshnoff, who studies at Thompson Rivers University.

video-online] www.kamloopsthisweek.com While Heer recognized her company initially looked like the bad guys in the story — Stooshnoff asked the Crown corporation many times for help, as well as Kamloops Fire Rescue — Heer said it wasn’t just a matter of bringing in a bucket truck and going up. The pole was behind the townhouse complex where Stooshnoff lives, not accessible by a truck and the existence

of that live electricity was an issue. Heer said workers didn’t want to go up and scare the cat into touching the wire and care also had to be taken that the animal didn’t spook, attack its rescuer and end up with one, the other or both hitting the live wires. “We’re all pet owners. We all love our pets,” Heer said of those with whom she works. “But, it’s not just a matter of going up and getting it and bringing it back down.” Stooshnoff said workers spent about an hour assessing the situation and then one went up, put insulating guards over the wires and used a hook to grab Trinity. “She was flailing when he grabbed her by the collar,” Stooshnoff said, “and when he got her down, I just ran and put her in the house.” Trinity is doing fine despite her ordeal, he said. She’s been drinking water, eating food and cleaning her fur and staying tucked close to him. And the cat who once was allowed outside on her own is now definitely grounded, Stooshnoff said. “Her outdoor privileges have been permanently revoked.”

LOCAL NEWS

Add another $7.50 to your tax bill STAFF REPORTER andrea@kamloopsthisweek.com

Kamloops homeowners will see another $7.50 on average added to their tax bills after city council decided to bring in a lastminute tax shift during final budget deliberations this week. That brings the total cost of property taxes for an average home to $1,756.72 this year, about $67.50 more than in 2012. The city hasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t added anything new to the budget since it was last debated. Instead, council is asking residential taxpayers to shoulder some of the costs usually paid by heavy industry. In March, the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s industrial payers banded together to ask council to knock down their mill rate â&#x20AC;&#x201D; pegged at just under $81 per $1,000 of assessed value for 2013 â&#x20AC;&#x201D; by about $10 this year, and even more over the long term. Bill Adams, strategic planning and engineering manager for Domtar, told media that the company would like to see its tax bill halved over time. He said a mill rate slightly above $40 would be fairer and encourage the company to make more investments in its Kamloops operation. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The $6 million that Domtar pays is probably twice the amount that any of our other facilities are paying,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Certainly itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s almost two-and-a-half times what the mill in Prince George is paying.â&#x20AC;? Because the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s residential and business tax bases grow each year, but the amount of heavy

industry stays the same, Domtar argues it is subsidizing new growth. Coun. Nancy Bepple, who, along with Mayor Peter Milobar, sits on the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s industrial tax base task force, made the same argument to her fellow councillors. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Our economy is shifting away from heavy industry and saying they have to pay eight per cent every year, it doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t reflect the community and where the investments are,â&#x20AC;? she said. Nearly all of council agreed a shift needed to happen â&#x20AC;&#x201D; only Coun.

Donovan Cavers voted against a shift in an informal showing of hands, saying he believed the heavy industrial rate should be â&#x20AC;&#x153;based on impact.â&#x20AC;? But, when it came to deciding whether to act this year, and whether to push the extra tax burden onto residential ratepayers, councillors found themselves locked in a series of 5-4 votes, with winners and losers shifting each round. Councillors Pat Wallace and Ken Christian argued for a shift beginning in 2014, when the city would have

time to formulate a more comprehensive plan. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Letâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not be under any kind of illusion that the decision here will say yay or nay to Domtar,â&#x20AC;? said Christian. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Their future is based on the average price of a tonne of pulp.â&#x20AC;? Coun. Arjun Singh said heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d be willing to give heavy industry a break, but since the public hadnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t been consulted on a tax shift, he didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t think residential ratepayers should have to take up the slack. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Tax shifting is a question of public discussion, whether itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 10 cents

or 5 cents or $5.â&#x20AC;? he said, arguing the city could look at shifting the burden onto other tax classes when it starts prepping for the 2014 budget. But ,as council went through rounds of informal polling, making homeowners pay stayed the slightly more popular option. Left with only the magnitude of this yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s shift to decide, council decided to cut $228,000 out of heavy industryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s tax bill. In a final, deciding vote, only Christian and Wallace opposed the shift.

COVER PAGE STORY

Ajax ‘same story as Afton’ X From A1

The proposed copper and gold mine would be located near the Iron Mask trailer court. Grunenberg said he’s often surprised to find a lot of people favourable to the project. “It’s hard to be blatantly proAjax right now, but what we do as geologists is defend the process,” he said of the project now undergoing government reviews. Having worked on the Ajax project until 2011, when his geological services had run their course with the planning, Russell wonders how many people remember the proposed site was once a working mine, owned by Teck and closed by the company in 1992 when it decided it had reached the farthest depth of minerals to be mined. Further testing by Ajax pro-

ponents have shown an estimated 2.5-billion pounds of copper still lie beneath the soil, Russell said. At the time he was working there, he said, “I thought this is good, taking two old sites and producing something with them. That’s going to give employment for a generation.” Russell wonders about people who say the proposed mine site is appealing for hikers “because there are holes and old shafts all through it.” Jacko Lake — mentioned often by those opposed to the project because of the impact it could have on it — was once a swamp that was turned into a lake by Teck and stocked annually until it because self-replenishing with fish. “I don’t know if people remember that,” Russell said. The Ajax project “is the same

story as [New] Afton,” he said — “an old mine with more resources to be mined.” Because of the size and dispersement of the ore, Russell added, it is economically unfeasible to use the block-cave mining system New Afton is using to bring out the ore. The pair said people need to realize mining has a long history in the province and many places that appear to have bucolic, rolling landscape actually have old dumps from mines beneath that grass and trees — or houses. “You ask anyone at Iron Mask and I bet they tell you they have no idea there are tunnels beneath them,” Russell said. “And they won’t know those same tunnels have munitions in them that were dumped there after the Second World War. You don’t know what’s underneath you.”

City, airport company in arbitration By Andrea Klassen STAFF REPORTER andrea@kamloopsthisweek.com

A rent dispute between the city and the company responsible for running Kamloops Airport is before an arbitrator this week. City staff confirmed the arbitration between the Vancouver Airport Group (formerly known as YVR Airport Services) and the city’s airport society began on Tuesday, April 9, and will continue over four or five days. “At it’s core, it’s a standard

new rent-revenue deal came to an impasse. Under the contract, signed in 1997 for 45 years, the airportmanagement company gets a seven per cent marketing fee and splits net income from the airport 50-50 with the city. The city’s portion of the money goes into a reserve, to be used for future airport improvements. Milobar declined to say how the city would like to see the agreement adjusted.

commercial tenant-landlord disagreement over what the rent should be,” Mayor Peter Milobar said. “No one has suggested that YVR doesn’t know how to run an airport,” he said. “Obviously, they do a good job. This is really around what do we as a landlord feel the rent should be and what do they as a tenant feel the rent should be?” The city originally filed a claim against the company in 2011, after negotiations over a

There’s a reason for cynicism — and Simpson points it out

GET A LOT OF EMAILS from Bob Simpson. As an independent member of the provincial legislature, representing the folks up in the CaribooNorth riding, he doesn’t have the same access to the media-swamping tools the governing and opposition parties enjoy or the slowly growing communications staff who have aligned themselves with the Conservative party in B.C. Normally, I take a quick look and then hit the delete button or pass it along to colleague Andrea Klassen, the person here at KTW who must actually, consciously and deliberately engage in all things political that affect the city. The most recent email, however, stopped me because Simpson, elected in 2005 when he was still a member of the New Democratic Party, was writing about something that had been dinner conversation at our house just days before. It went something like this: Academic-former journalist husband: “You know, it’s a good thing we have elections every few years.” Journalist wife: “Whatever for? It just encourages them to keep doing it.” Academic-former journalist husband: “If we didn’t have elections, they’d never spend money on the people who need it at all. Look at all the money they’ve been throwing out at the province in the last few weeks.” To say nothing of the re-announcements of previous announcements that might also have been rewritten announcements of earlier announcements because you can never have enough photo-ops, right? Simpson, bounced from the NDP when he dared to disagree with his party leader and then choosing to sit as an independent, asked a simple question is his latest missive: What the heck is

DALE BASS Street

LEVEL “year-end” money? He noted that it’s pretty common for the governing party — and it doesn’t really matter what political stripe it bears — to use your hard-earned and taxed dollars for pre-election advertising and gala events. Premier Christy Clark has already been criticized for spending $15 million from that taxpayer-fed account on a preelection, pre-writ advertising campaign extolling, well, her virtues and those of her minions. More recently, another $11 million went to hob-nob with the folks who populate Bollywood who actually agreed with Clark’s demand to hold their B.C. gala before the election. A quick look at the newsroom link on the government’s website shows loads of money heading out of Victoria into bank accounts of voters all over the province — year-end money the ministries have to deal with, even though the fiscal year ended last month and showed a deficit, as Simpson notes. On April 9 alone, there were announcements for: • $30,000 for some scientificresearch planning (at least our government still sees the value in scientists doing research); • A new grant program for the greenhouse sector to offset those darn

carbon-tax costs that have been making headlines; • What is likely a re-announcement of $8.4 million being spent to add an addition to a school in Surrey, written in the guise of telling us all that work is about to begin, while acknowledging the plan was announced in October 2011; • $500,000 for mining and environmental training; •An increase in the B.C. Arts Council scholarship program to $750,000 from $150,000 and a boost in the maximum scholarship value to $6,000 from $4,000; • Changes to the liquor laws that will give rural agency stores a 12 per cent discount on liquor they buy from the province’s distribution branch (the same thing the government was thinking about privatizing several months ago). The previous discount was 10 per cent. • A $4.9-million investment in a youth-employment program (Clark hasn’t realized yet, I guess, that her claim B.C. is tops in the country in job creation is the butt of many jokes right now); and • $350,000 in one-time funding for programs to help aboriginal learners. That might not seem a lot of money in a province where the deficit is more than $1.2 billion for the fiscal year 2012-2013, but the money tap continued this week with millions more being handed out. That was what was online by noon on Wednesday, when I sat down to write this latest version of what some will refer to as a reflection of my complete cynicism for the election. And they would be right — but there’s a reason. And Simpson, the independent, called the Liberals on it. dale@kamloopsthisweek.com kamloopsstreetlevel.tumblr.com

Eighty years ago, a person with Down syndrome was lucky to make it to their 16th birthday. Fortunately, advances in health care, nutrition and de-institutionalization has helped the developmentally disabled live into their senior years, largely at the same pace as the rest of society. This shows the lasting and longterm benefits of treating people with Down syndrome, fetal-alcohol spectrum disorder and other cognitive impairments as members of society, not people to be locked away at home or warehoused in institutions. Communities across B.C. have service agencies with excellent day programs, job placement programs and group homes, all in an effort to have people with disabilities live rich, dignified lives in their communities and among their peers. With all of these advancements and with hindsight, it’s not surprising that developmentally disabled people are living much longer than they used to. The current cohort is the first in history to get old in large numbers. Ministry of Social Development and by extension Community Living B.C., the Crown agency that manages funding and programs for the developmentally disabled, will roll out plans to better care for their aging clients. Unfortunately, the ministry and CLBC are slow on the uptake. t’s been well known for at least five years that the grey tsunami of cognitively disabled seniors was on its way, but planning for this in government circles really only started last year, after CLBC emerged from multiple damaging scandals. Part of rebuilding credibility is the Ministry of Social Development following through with promises of funding to meet growing service demands. If funding doesn’t materialize, it will leave non-profit organizations stretched thinner and searching for ways to support aging clients. Older people, disabled or not, need more medical care, walkers and other items to keep them safe at home or in day-program centres. Retirement homes aren’t staffed with people who understand developmental disabilities, and service agencies generally aren’t equipped or funded to run geriatric programs. Last year the government trumpeted its 12-point program to improve how CLBC operates. Hopefully for its most vulnerable citizens, that’s not empty rhetoric.

Re: Letter: Let’s not become a mining town:

“We already are a mining town. “New Gold, just kilometres from our home, provides good, sustainable jobs for my neighbours. “They have money to properly raise their families. “Dads and moms get to come home every night and have dinner with their children. “People, think twice about what you are thinking. “Obviously, we all want our environment to be pristine. “It’s high time we recognize the fact that, without new industry, Kamloops will revert to the dust bowl of the 1980s when every second business downtown was boarded up.” — posted by Tim Leggett “Kamloops has mining in the area, not on our doorstep. “If anyone considers the potential health costs and reduced quality of life to the 90,000 citizens of Kamloops, and the perpetual environmental destruction of land and water compared to the 500 jobs the proposed Ajax copper and gold mine is offering for 25 years, how can anyone be in favour of the mine?” — posted by Mike Marshall

Believe it or not, mining can be good Editor: I think of myself as a fairly educated individual and I do have a few degrees behind me. I am pretty environmentally aware and I am mining aware, meaning I understand we need mining, we utilize mining and mining can be done without destroying the environment. I have no connection to the proposed Ajax project. I have lived in Kamloops for three years and I am absolutely shocked by the narrow-mindedness of this community with respect to Ajax. Your city needs work, needs employment and needs this! It needs financial assistance to keep its theatre alive. I live here by choice and, lately, I am wondering why. The community does not want to see any development or growth. Why are the people of this community so against progress, money and jobs? Mining can be safe. It does not necessarily destroy the environment, the city and the ecosystem.

How do I know? I have lived in mining communities for 25 years and I have seen the benefits. Those who hate this proposed project are so jaded by the reality of the proposal. Mining can be good. I have seen the good and I have participated in the good. I have seen how you amazing crops can be grown on reclaimed land. I have seen towns flourish due to the economy. I have helped with outreach programs funded by mining companies. Safe and responsible mining is possible. If not, then stop buying nice jewelry, stop driving cars and cease using computers. In fact, the money earned in my household comes from mining (but not from B.C.), so I’ll just spend it where it is appreciated and not in this town! I am saddened by the attitudes of some people in this city. Jane Clifford Kamloops

It has been a pleasure — on and off the ice Editor: As I back away from my position as the chairman of the Kamloops International Bantam Ice Hockey Tournament, I would like to take this opportunity to share some of my thoughts. I have a number of thank-yous to pass along: Jason, Rob and Gerard, for standing beside me these five years — and, yes, four hockey officials can run a tournament. Byron, Jeff, Mayor Milobar and city council for your support in helping to ensure KIBIHT remained one of the key tournaments in the city. Jon and everyone at Tim Hortons for your sponsorship support. Kamloops Minor Hockey Association for its help in putting over 600 players, coaches and officials on the ice. To the many sponsors, we could not do this without your help. You have allowed every mom, dad, brother, sister, grandparent and

hockey fan to watch these kids play their hearts out for free. To the hundreds of volunteers who make this event happen, every one of you is a key part of this. From timekeepers and stick boys to the lovely ladies who work the host tables, your countless hours of work are invaluable. To my committee, simply thank you and I owe you big time. My last thank you goes to Ian, our KMHA representative who was sent to make sure this group of referees stayed on task. You have stepped up and been the life of this tournament for the last five years. With that said, I want the people of Kamloops to know this event could not happen without the amazing volunteer support the community. Please take the time to thank volunteers when you see them at events, as they help to make our city a better place live. To Fred Cavanagh, thank you for giving us the drive to allow this

tournament to grow and flourish. The foundation the society had formed gave our committee a platform to make some changes so the tournament could grow with the times. It has been an amazing ride to see 2,000-plus kids come to Kamloops in the past five years and leave with smiles on their faces and memories that will last them a lifetime. I want to challenge Fred to give the KMHA the old trophies and remaining funds from the society so it can set up a legacy fund to enhance KIBIHT for future tournaments. I look forward to my next role with KIBIHT as past-chairman. Mostly, though, I am really looking forward to being able to get back to my roots and referee a few more games next year. Once again, thank you everyone and it has been an honour to lead KIBIHT for five years. Willy Saari past-chairman KIBIHT

Smart metering smart move Editor: Re: Trudy Frisk’s letter of March 28 (‘Billiondollar BC Hydro boondoggle will get bigger’): BC Hydro’s smartmetering program is about more than just exchanging meters; it’s about upgrading the province’s electricity grid. The entire project cost, which includes new meters and the necessary grid upgrades, are included in the business case, available online at bchydro.com. The project, which will be completed in 2014, is tracking below budget. Now that 95 per cent of the new meters have been installed, customers are beginning to see the benefits of a more modern electrical system. For example, many customers, through their secure MyHydro online account, can now see more timely information about their electricity use. They can also access new conservation tools that will help them conserve energy and save money. Later this year, customers will benefit from automatic-outage detection that will help our crews restore power faster and safer. We thank customers for their support and patience as we work to modernize our electricity system so we can continue to safely provide the electricity needed to power homes and business around the province every day.

Dziekanski was victim of a homicide By Martin van dem Hemel RICHMOND REVIEW martin@richmondreview.com

More than five years after he was repeatedly Tasered at Vancouver International Airport, the high-profile death of Polish immigrant Robert Dziekanski has been ruled a homicide by the B.C. Coroners Service. In a report completed on March 20, 2013, coroner Patrick Cullinane classified the death as a homicide, caused by cardiac arrhythmia “due to or as a consequence of physical altercation in combination with multiple deployments of a conducted energy weapon. The 40-year-old died on Oct. 14, 2007, following a 10-plus hour flight from Poland via Frankfurt, Germany, that was supposed to reunite him with his mother, who lives in Kamloops. Instead, although his flight touched down at the airport at 3:15 p.m., he didn’t clear immigration until some nine hours and 30 minutes later. In the interim, his mother waited at the airport to pick him up, unaware of what was causing the delay and unable to

communicate with him despite her best efforts. “When it became apparent to Mr. Dziekanski’s mother that she could not meet him in the secure customs hall, she sought the assistance of a visitor-information counsellor, customer-service agents and Canada Border Services officers. “A border-services officer did search the secondary immigration area, but not the entire customs hall, and then advised Mr. Dziekanski’s mother that there was no way that it would have taken so long for someone to clear immigration, that there was no landed immigrant from Poland in the secondary immigration area and she should return to her home in Kamloops. At this time, Mr. Dziekanski would have in fact still been in the secure customs hall,” the report said. Dziekanski died “as a result of a cardiac arrhythmia, which occurred minutes after being subjected to the deployment of a conducted energy weapon five times and an accompanying physical altercation with police,” Cullinane wrote.

He concluded: “Autopsy showed no significant injuries and no natural-disease process that would have likely led to sudden death. “The pathologist concluded that the most likely cause of death was cardiac death during restraint and noted that the mechanism in such cases is not well understood.” He added: “I classify this death as homicide. Homicide is a death due to an injury intentionally inflicted by the action of another person. Homicide is a neutral term that does not imply fault or blame.” Dziekanski was Tasered in the international-arrivals area of the airport within 30 seconds from the time when of the officers attending the scene first spoke to Dziekanski. The altercation with police was recorded on video by another passenger. Subsequent to Dziekanski’s death, an inquiry was held into the use of conducted energy weapons in 2008 and that resulted in 19 recommendations, which “have essentially been adopted directly or measures have been taken which comply with the intent of the recommendations.”

Repeat sex offender off to prison Brett Nelson gets two years for relationship with minor By Dale Bass STAFF REPORTER dale@kamloopsthisweek.com

After blowing a kiss to a woman sitting in the front row, Brett Nelson was led out of courtroom 5C of B.C. Supreme Court on Tuesday, April 9, to begin another jail sentence. The former teacher pleaded guilty to two charges — sexual interference of a minor and breach of probation — that were laid in January. In a joint submission, Crown counsel Will Burrows and defence lawyer Rob Bruneau recommended Nelson be sentenced to two years less a day on one count and one year on the other, with the two sentences to be served concurrently. They also recommended Nelson, 52, serve his time at Ford Mountain Correctional Centre in Chilliwack, a men’s multi-level, treatment-based correctional centre Supreme Court Justice Hope Hyslop agreed, ordering Nelson to serve three years of probation once he is released. Nelson had sex with the underage girl three times in December 2012, including at the flooring company where he worked. The girl with whom Nelson had sex is the same girl at the centre of Nelson serving time last year after being convicted of luring a minor. Nelson’s sentence comes with a long list of conditions, including: • He must submit a DNA sample; • He must take counselling as directed by his probation supervisor; and • He will be registered for life as a sex offender. • He must not be in contact with several females whose names cannot be published; • He must not come within 50 metres of the females; • He cannot go to any park, school,

playground or other public locations where anyone 16 years of age or younger might be or might potentially be unless he is accompanied by another adult who has been approved by his probation supervisor; • He cannot communicate or be alone with anyone who is 16 or younger or who appears to be that age unless he is accompanied by another adult who has been approved by his probation supervisor; • He cannot have any mobile phones with Internet access except if required for work and can only access the Internet for work purposes while working or to do online banking; • He cannot use a

BRETT NELSON: Will serve two years at Chilliwack facility.

mobile telephone to send messages; Because Nelson will be in jail for some time, a victim surcharge was waived by Hyslop. Bruneau told the court Nelson was released from his last jail sentence in July 2012. Shortly afterward, Bruneau said, Nelson became sick and fell into “a severe depres-

sion,” which was not improved through taking anti-depressants. While conceding it was not an excuse, Bruneau told the court Nelson received messages from the girl who sparked the most recent charges. He said the girl “is a young woman who has problems of her own,” and “who has been before the court before as a, quote, victim.” Nelson told Hyslop he is remorseful, takes responsibility for his actions and knows he is a responsible adult. He apologized to the court, the girl and his family. Nelson was fired from his teaching job in 2004 for engaging in sexual contact with a Grade 11 student.

MORTGAGE MATTERS Renters!! Are you ready to buy? People rent for very good reasons, and you may have many of them...but have you ever wondered if you are ready to buy? Here are a few considerations to review when deciding if you are ready to buy. 1) The Rental Market – What are the rents projected to be in the near future, how much

are you paying compared to similar rental units, what could your rental dollar do if it was put toward a mortgage payment? 2) Employment – How safe is your employment, are you committed to the work force or considering school, is your income showing signs of stability/ increase/ or decrease, are you happy with your job? 3) Happiness – Is your current home meeting all your needs today, will your needs change in the near future, can your home suit your future needs? 4) Rate Trends – Low interest rates can mean your payment dollar can go further. Taking advantage of periods with low interest rates can put you in a higher value home for the same monthly payment as a less expensive house with a higher interest rate. What are the interest rates expected to do? 5) Inventory – Perhaps most importantly...what is available for sale in your price range, in the neighbourhood you prefer and in the style of home that you desire? A premature step into something that is only second best for you and your family begs a “for sale sign” in your future. Get it right the ﬁrst time. Shop the market and be prepared to take a break if what you see doesn’t make you happy. 6) Down Payment – Down payment is not always an obstacle if you are ready to buy. Some lenders will allow a borrow downpayment. However, in most cases, lenders like to see a 5% downpayment and 1.5% closing costs. This can come from a gift from family, savings, RRSP withdrawal etc. 7) Nobody Moves Nobody Gets Hurt – Staying exactly where you are involves the least amount of work, least amount of change and least amount of money out of your pocket...in the short term. Preparing yourself for home ownership is something that can start today and gets you set up for the long term. A trip to your mortgage broker is part of that plan.

Clover is beginning to stir with spring By Dale Bass STAFF REPORTER

Critical Illness Insurance... Is it Worth It? A critical illness can happen to anyone and everyone knows someone who has been diagnosed with a critical illness – cancer, heart attack or stroke. We all think that this won’t happen to us!

dale@kamloopsthisweek.com

Clover is starting to wake up. The Kermode (Spirit) bear that has been the subject of controversy since his arrival at the B.C. Wildlife Park “is still groggy, like he hasn’t had his morning coffee yet,” said Tara Geiger, an animalcare technician at the park. His immediate future there is still being discussed, she said, with consultations happening between park staff and experts from around the world. Until then, he’s remaining in his 40-foot-square covered pen, an area that was reinforced last October after the bear managed to climb the 12-foot chain-link wall, work loose a wire holding the chain link together at a joint and squeeze out. He was found hours later just south of the park, sitting on a log and eating berries. Clover was found just before the winter of 2011 near Smithers and was taken in by the Northern Lights Wildlife Shelter. He was released last year, but broke into a camp shelter looking for food and was trapped by conservation officers. Because he is a Kermode, a rare white bear, he was moved to Kamloops rather than being disposed of, a fate faced by most nuisance bears in the province. Since then, complaints have arisen about his move to the park and not being returned to the wild. Geiger said park staff are hoping protesters learn “it’s not in his best interests to be released. We really want everybody to be on the same page.” Geiger added the park has an ongoing Copper for Clover fundraiser to help raise the projected $500,000 that will be needed to build a larger enclosure for the bear. The park is open daily to the end of the month from 9:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. After then, it will be open daily from 9:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. until Sept. 30.

The Canadian Cancer Society will tell you that one in four Canadians are expected to die from cancer and that cancer is the leading cause of premature death in this country. 3,075 Canadians are diagnosed with cancer every week, there are 70,000 heart attacks and between 40,000 to 50,000 strokes annually. These statistics are frightening, as are the costs related to these critical illnesses. In recent years, medical advances have led to increased life expectancy and the ability to recover from various illnesses. Thanks to these advances, you’re much more likely to suffer a critical illness and live, then you are to die suddenly – which means financial hardship is likely what will be left behind. So, critical illness insurance – is it worth it? If you find yourself diagnosed with any of the 25 critical illnesses covered, critical illness insurance gives you the ability to focus on your recovery by eliminating the financial stress that often accompanies many of these illnesses. Your critical illness insurance can be used to pay your mortgage; look after your family or pay for those medical costs incurred that may not be covered by the government or by your employment health benefits. Yes, it is definitely worth it!

Kamloops city council is calling for a do-over on a development-variance application passed last month. City staff still support the variance, which would allow Ross and Paula Jensen to install a septic field on a parcel of land about one-quarter of the usual size at 4375 Spurraway Rd. However, Marvin Kwiatkowski, the city’s director of development and engineering services, told council that because of a “technical error,” not all households near the Rayleigh property were notified that council was considering the variance. Under the Local Government Act, the

But, city staff said accepting postmarks would be problematic because not all letters arrive with a legible postmark — or any mark at all. “It is onerous to administer the program,” revenue and taxation manager Marlie Worrin said. Worrin said of the 14 communities she contacted, only five accept postmarks — and two are moving away from the practice because it has become labour-

intensive. Accepting postmarks could also cost the city a big chunk of the $550,000 in late penalties it expects to bring in this year. Worrin said around 1,000 households mail in their taxes each year, but there are also options for online filing, filing at a ban or paying n person at city hall. “There are so many different options for payment and it doesn’t have to be inconvenient for them,” she said.

One-ﬁfth undecided? The NDP has a 17-point lead on the Liberals among decided voters, but one in five people are still undecided, according to a poll released this week by Insights West. The NDP has support of 45 per cent of decided voters, compared to 28 per cent for the B.C. Liberals. The Green party is supported by 15 per cent, with 10 per cent backing the Conservatives. Insights West president Steve Mossop said the poll shows 25 per cent of undecided voters

ELECTION 2013 are leaning toward the Liberals, with 20 per cent leaning NDP. The NDP’s biggest lead is in Metro Vancouver, the Fraser Valley and Vancouver Island. In other parts of B.C., the combined decided and leaning vote is closer, with 37 per cent for the NDP and 33 per cent for the Liberals. The poll contacted 855 adult B.C. residents in the last week of March.

Movie tax break An NDP government would increase tax credits for movie, TV and video-game production in B.C., to counter higher tax breaks offered by Ontario and Quebec. NDP Leader Adrian Dix said Tuesday that if his party forms a government in the May 14 election, it will increase the tax credit for labour expenditures by foreign and domestic productions in B.C. to 40 per cent from 33 per cent. That would cost the provincial treasury $45 million a year, assuming increased movie and TV production. In 2009, Ontario stepped up its tax credits to 25 per cent of all spending for movie

and TV production by foreign companies in the province. Dix said the bigger tax break is to reverse a decline of 3,500 direct and indirect jobs in B.C. last year, with early results for 2013 showing a 32 per cent decline compared to last year. Liberal MLA Bill Bennett, minister of community, sport and cultural development, said earlier this year that Ontario’s tax credits are not sustainable. Bennett pointed to more than $2 million provided last year for BC Film + Media, which offers financing and marketing support to domestic projects, and the BC Film Commission, a provincial office that helps producers secure permits, crews and shooting locations in B.C.

Its phone number is 250-253-3498. Hours of operation for both offices are 8:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. Mondays to Fridays and 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Saturdays.

B.C. party leaders will take part in at least two debates, one on TV and one on radio, in the run-up to the May 14 provincial election. CKNW radio is hosting a leaders’ debate at 9 a.m. on Friday, April 26. Invited to take part are Liberal Leader Christy Clark, NDP Leader Adrian Dix, Green Leader Jane Sterk and Conservative Leader John Cummins. A one-hour television debate is set for Monday, April 29, at 7 p.m. on Global TV, also featuring the four major party leaders. Clark is challenging Dix to a one-on-one televised debate proposed for May 6. Dix said it would be “disrespectful” to voters and other party leaders to exclude them.

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s elementary â&#x20AC;&#x201D; swimmers at TCC today The Kamloops Classics Swimming Club is hosting the School District 73 Elementary School Meet today (April 11). Warm-up gets underway at 9 a.m., while competition starts at

9:30 a.m. and runs through 10:45 a.m. at the Tournament Capital Centre;s Canada Games Pool. The Classics are attending the Vernon Kokanee Swim Club Spring Invitational Meet on the weekend.

RCMP: The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly. Traditionally the RCMP have been the good guys fighting crime in the name of justice; "to serve and protect" the members of the public, though over the last thirty years [or more] the RCMP reputation has been withered away to a point that most public no longer trust the RCMP, evidenced by the recent public poles. THE GOOD: the current condition of Corporation RCMP is unfortunate because most people who join the RCMP do so with the intention of making the world a better safer place, and generally care for the well being of their communities and the people in them. Indeed a RCMP officer is one of the noblest professions one can undertake; it is often dangerous dealing with serious criminals, traumatizing having to deal with accidents murders and other horrible scenes, as well as the complications of dealing with procedures, legislation and internal politics. All of these things cause immense stress that effects and changes an officerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s mentality forever, so for one to voluntarily put themselves in a situation like that to benefit humanity, is indeed nothing less than heroic. Sadly they are often taken for granted by society, as are all public servants who effect peoples lives in a positive way, they need our support, please make an effort to show it more. THE BAD: All it takes is a few bad apples to spoil the bunch, unfortunately there seems to be more than a few bad apples, its apparent that there are bushels of â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;em rising to the top like turds in sour milk, defined by their own actions. Acting as an RCMP comes with great responsibility, but it also comes with a position of power that often times is irresistible as it attracts people for that reason; so that they may use their power of position to bully, control, and intimidate people for the adrenaline rush of authority; grrrr! These egomaniacs are not there to serve the public or up hold their oath they swore; no, they will lie cheat'n beat people because they can, prejudging victims as guilty however they see fit. That is wrong, and we warn those bad apples to repent, or be dammed forever by the law; Ezekiel 33. 6-10. THE UGLY: Corporate RCMP is not just a public service organization, but a private corporation that has been given de facto power [at the end of a gun] and authority by other de facto corporations through legislation that are called codes acts and statutes under "legal" de facto authority via colour of law. That's itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s official legal reality, though it is that and so much more, today's RCMP is a quagmire of incompetent bureaucrats subrogated by outside investors such as ICBC, and Provincial political parties trying to sway votes and paint pretty pictures while using RCMP as revenue collectors to top up general revenue. It would seem the machine feeds off of a broken system as they all conspire in a legal conflict of interest; not to create a peaceful society, but to create revenue and job security with things like their phony war on drugs in which no common sense is used. It would seem the system is intelligently designed to fail with ass backwards laws that fill the courts and jails, soon to be for profit private prisons. By creating this mad society, they create this vicious circle that eats away at liberty like a cancer, using public backlash as mandate to create yet more legislation with bigger fines and more prisoners, thus ensuring their job is never done; thousands and thousands of codes acts and statutes scheme that only the devil himself can understand. The quagmire of procedures is turning the average officer into nothing more than a "terminator" of legislation because their insurance provider doesn't allow them to make judgment calls anymore due to incremental legislation, forever tightening restrictions and liberties. So now everyone is guilty until proven innocent in a court of law, as the officer's favorite quote is 'tell it to the judge'. Its this kind of circumstances that are leading to frustration not just within the public, but also within the RCMP. Causing many of the good people to leave with a sour distaste for a once sweet monument of justice and service, now tarnished with the pain and suffering of victims of unconstitutional legislation, incompetent policies, and the blood of those such as Ian Bush, Robert Dziekanski and many many other victims of the arrogance and incompetence. The result is predictable, and self evident in the level of trust public place in police and government, and rightfully so, for every week there seems to be a new case of police and government misconduct somewhere in Canada. Meanwhile domestic violence is on the rise due to people being under stress and duress of having their liberty lost little by little by unconstitutional legislation that ever encroaches in our personal lives, like a cancer, injustice festers incompetence while corporate profits soar in today's toxic society. Politicians and RCMP need to realize that the loss of public trust is by their hand, a cause and effect result of their actions and their failure to address those actions, it truly is in your hands Commissioner. This injustice can not be allowed to continue, people within must address these issues, even speak out, for your oath is in service of Her Majesty, in service as servants of the public. Though just as important, the public must speak out, YOU must speak out. Last Year RCMP police Commissioner Bob Paulson wrote a open letter to the public pleading for patience as he promises to clean up the tarnished reputation of Her Majesty's RCMP. Indeed it is our duty as the Public, to inform our public servants what it is that we require of them. Let him know our patience is fading; do take the time to write the Commissioner, expressing our support of his promise, as well as what is required to restore your trust. RCMP National Headquarters, Headquarters Building, 73 Leikin Drive, Ottawa ON, K1A 0R2 Let the Commissioner know we are not falling for phony promises, make sure he understands no amount of window dressing, or juggling within the force will have an effect unless real changes are made. Commonsense dictates RCMP need to be more open, accountable and forthcoming to the public, allowing outside sources to investigate questionable legal matters and procedures. Let the commissioner know the public will not tolerate a rogue system or bullies who feel they are above the law simply because they wear a badge and gun, we demand they be held accountable the same as you and I. Perhaps more importantly, top Brass and bureaucrats also needs to be accountable for their orders and policies that harm the public, and ignore our inherent rights to such things as free speech and public protests which are the back bone to a free and democratic society. Its the little things, such as every officer interacting with the public needs to have video and audio on their person as well cruisers whenever they are on duty, so that facts are established and bad officers can no longer lie and miss lead. Properly screening recruits to weed out bullies, and teaching them to know and respect the law they are enforcing. Obligate them to understand that which they enforce, so they are not merely mindless â&#x20AC;&#x153;terminatorsâ&#x20AC;?, turned into revenue collectors and intimidators manifesting into a police state. RCMP needs to understand when and when they cannot enforce legislation and the legal jurisdictions they are obligated to recognize such as first nations and sovereigns. Something that is greatly lacking is having access to certified copies of the codes acts and statutes RCMP are enforcing, so that they understand their law and at the same time demonstrate their competence so the public understands, as well as detaineeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s having access to these laws so there are no mistakes or injustices. RCMP is acting as judge jury and prosecution in an ever-encroaching legal landslide of unconstitutional legislation; directly affecting peopleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s lives, molding our society; now a pyramid of policies numbering in the millions. Politicians pass legislation with an â&#x20AC;&#x153;ask if its legal laterâ&#x20AC;? attitude, and place the load on RCMP in a â&#x20AC;&#x153;let loose the dogs of warâ&#x20AC;? mentality under self regulations; everything is legal, even legal for officers to act above the law. Such as officers operating a computer [texting] while driving are dieing and killing pedestrians because they place themselves above the law, commonsense law that keeps citizens from being distracted while driving; how many more must die Commissioner? We are all human, we all make mistakes, a badge does not give you super powers; consider carefully; what man is a man, who does not admit his mistakes, apologize for them, and correct himself? In Loving Memory of Robert Dziekanski, Ian Bush, and the many other Victims of RCMP Malice, Incompetence, Ignorance, and their Crimes against Humanity. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We Shall Over Comeâ&#x20AC;?

HEAVY DUTY FOCUS By Tim Petruk STAFF REPORTER tim@kamloopsthisweek.com

LYSHA FLETCHER is a rarity among highschool students. The NorKam secondary senior, graduating later this spring, knows exactly what she wants to do for a career — and she’s taking steps to make it happen. Fletcher was one of 26 Kamloops-area high-school students — and the only girl among the group — taking part in the Kamloops-Thompson school district’s Heavy Metal Rocks program, which took place over three days last week. The program sees the school district partner with dozens of local companies to give students hands-on experience using heavy equipment — everything from giant excavators to cranes and bulldozers. At the end of the program, the students leave with three certificates — first aid, construction safety and WHMIS. “I’m here because I want to learn the machinery and have the professionals teach me,” Fletcher told KTW.

Wednesday, April 17 - 9:30am

“It’s an experience. It’s a challenge at first and then, once you start, you get the hang of it.” Fletcher wants to work at Highland Valley Copper after graduating — so she’s eager to get experience with the big machines. Spencer Pawloff, a Grade 11 student at Barriere secondary, is in the same boat. He has a pretty good idea of where his career path is going to take him and he jumped at the chance to be part of the Heavy Metal Rocks program. Pawloff works part-time at a cattle ranch in the North Thompson, so he’s already somewhat familiar with heavy equipment. But, he said, he wants to learn more. “I work around heavy equipment and the first-aid and construction stuff worked into it because that’s what I want to do for a living — heavy-duty mechanic,” he said. Greg Howard, school district principal for trades and transitions, said the program, in its fifth year, is already showing itself to be effective. “From our very first year that we ran it, we had a lad that came back last year who works in the industry now, and he was one of

our teachers in Year 4,” Howard said. “It’s grown in the number of applicants we’ve had. When we first started, we really only had about 26 applicants. Now, we’re up in the 50 range.” There are only 26 seats due to how the program is designed. Students are paired up and work their way through 13 stations over the course of a day at the T’kemlups Indian Band gravel pit. Howard said there is more than $1-million worth of machinery on-hand for the day, all of it donated by area businesses. In addition, he estimated the total cost of donated fuel, salaries and other costs to be about $800,000. That’s pretty good return for the $125 fee paid by each student, he said, especially when considering the certificates they receive. Howard would like to see the program grow, but doesn’t know how feasible that would be. “It would be nice to grow it, but then you’re also looking at having industry donate more time when they’re busy,” he said. “To ask these guys that have been contributing for five years to add more to it, that’s tough.”

As a business leader and a district champion, Mark is one of Vancouver’s most recognized entrepreneurs. He has used his marketing expertise to open multiple restaurants, clothing stores, a tapas lounge, and even an art gallery. His latest entrepreneurial venture, the restoration and resurrection of Vancouver’s Saveon-Meats, has been a resounding success. By working with partners to create a true social enterprise, the Vancouver landmark has become a communityoriented sustainable business model.

Time to get the garden in shape . . . Spring is the season of rebirth and re-growth — which also means green-thumbs can’t wait to get back in those gardens. To get you started, here are some helpful tips from garden guru Peter Cantley at Loblaw Companies Limited. Make your garden beds

Do’s and Don’ts

Rid planting areas of weeds and spread a fourinch layer of compost or manure over soil. Using a pitchfork, mix soil and compost going about 10 inches deep until you’ve got moist crumbly soil.

• DO water the garden before 10 a.m. If you leave watering for the hotter hours almost half the amount of water you apply will evaporate in the summer heat. • DON’T cut back foliage of bulbs until it dries naturally. The bulb needs the green leaves to make food for next season’s growth. Cutting foliage too early results in small, weak bulbs the following year. • DO fertilize roses every week, all summer long. Most hybrids are very heavy feeders and need a lot of fertilizer for beautiful and healthy blooms. Be sure to plant your bushes in a location with plenty of sunlight and leave at least three feet in between plants for good air circulation. • DON’T forget to experiment with new perennials every year. Each year, we showcase some of the latest introductions and it’s a wonderful treat to find new plants to enjoy in the garden.

Primp and prune Remove dead or damaged branches from woody shrubs or trees before new leaf growth begins. Prune spring-flowering shrubs and trees only after the first spring bloom.

Take some tests Different planting areas may have different needs. Check the pH balance of soil in each spot with a home soil test kit. Then, as new growth appears, you can treat each one with the fertilizer and amendments required.

Dress that garden up Fun fences: Faced with a concrete wall? Put up a trellis or two for an instantly dramatic and elegant look. Play up the look even more by adding some climbing plants to highlight the trellis. Blooms are in the air: Hanging baskets add colour to outdoor spaces. Rocky road: Add some pretty pebbles or stones around plant bases or arrange large, smooth rocks along the edges of a pathway. Light of the party: Proper lighting is essential for entertaining on summer evenings and for creating the perfect ambience in your garden getaway.

A hiking adventure Kamloops Hiking Club members will explore the McQueen Creek grasslands and they are inviting the public to join them. The Hike for Wildlife will start at Deep Lake trailhead (890 Ida Lane) and take those who participate north through the McQueen grasslands to a hilltop overlooking

the creek, then down to the creek itself before looping back over to the Community Grasslands Trail and back to the start. There will be two groups heading out â&#x20AC;&#x201D; one that will travel about 12 kilometres and another that will traverse a 7.5-kilometre trail. The hike is dog-friendly, but the club is asking that canines â&#x20AC;&#x201D; a maximum of four per person â&#x20AC;&#x201D; be kept on a leash. There is no cost involved, but a collection will be taken at the trailhead and donated to the Canadian Wildlife Federation.

BRUCE GARSON Bruce passed away peacefully on Monday, April 1, 2013 at the age of 75. Bruce is survived by his loving wife Ruth Hughes and their daughter Emma. He is also survived by his daughters, Shelaigh and Kyra, granddaughters, Fauve and Claire, and twin brother Bob. Before moving west, Bruce began a series of colourful careers ranging from a CNR locomotive fireman, to a St. Boniface police officer. When he finally settled in B.C, his flair for food paired with his charismatic attitude led him to a lasting career as a restaurateur. Bruce’s creativity was displayed not only in the foods he prepared, but in the stories he told. He was, in any context, a `people` person, an entertainer, and a man of many words who will be dearly missed. Please join us on Saturday, April 27, 2013 at 2:00 pm for a Celebration of Bruce’s life at the Kamloops Funeral Home Chapel, 285 Fortune Drive.

SMITH, MARGARET “PEG” LILLIAN (nee RIDDELL) May 9, 1931 – April 4, 2013 Peg passed away peacefully on Thursday, April 4, 2013 at the Royal Inland Hospital in Kamloops, B.C. at the age of 82 years. She was born in Kamloops on May 9, 1931 and grew up in Chase, B.C., where she met Jim Smith. They married on December 30, 1954 and spent two years in Kamloops before moving to Victoria, B.C. In 1965 they moved to the Okanagan, eventually fulfilling their lifelong dream of raising cattle when they established Grandview Limousin after purchasing a small farm in Grindrod, B.C. in 1972. Wishing to expand their herd, Peg and Jim bought a larger farm in Darfield, BC in 1980. The years they spent there were not only filled with hard work but also with fond memories made with family and friends. They sold the farm in 1990 and retired to Logan Lake, BC. Their favourite pastime after retirement was deep sea fishing. Numerous trips with friends and family were made on their boat which was moored at Kitimat, BC. Peg will be lovingly remembered by her husband of 58 years, Jim Smith; their children George (Joanne) Smith, Shirley “Nan” (Bernard) Wesselingh and Charles “Butch” Smith; grandchildren Ken (Diane) Hughes, Teresa (Jesse Welsh) stCyer, Wayne (Amanda) Smith and Kristy (Rolando) Zanella; as well as eight great – grandchildren , with one more on the way. She is also survived by her sister in law Ellen Smith and numerous nieces, nephews and cousins in Canada and the United States. Peg’s friends were like family, she loved them all dearly and will be missed by many. She was predeceased by her parents George and Susie Riddell (nee Battle); sister and brother in law Shirley and Don Wittner; brother and sister in law Bob and Gay Riddell; sister in law Edna Selover and brothers in law George (Pat) Smith and Pete Smith. Peg was an amazing cook and loved to prepare everyone’s ”favourite“dish or dessert. Friends and family enjoyed many wonderful meals at her table where there was always room for one more plate. It was Peg’s wish that no service be held. Her remains will be laid to rest at a later date beside her parents at Chase Cemetery. The family would like to thank the amazing nurses of 7 North RIH for taking such great care of Peg. In lieu of flowers, memorial donations can be made to the Canadian Cancer Society, 565 West 10th Avenue, Vancouver, BC V5Z 4J4.

Prayer For Peace

Lord, make me an instrument of your peace. When there is hatred, let me sow love; Where there is injury, pardon; Where there is doubt, faith; Where there is despair, hope; Where there is darkness, light; Where there is sadness, joy. Grant that I may not so much Seek to be consoled, as to console; To be loved, as to love; For it is in the giving that we receive; And it is in dying that we are born to eternal life.

HILLSIDE, BEFORE AND AFTER

Kale Kessy does his best Michael Jordan impression after scoring for the Kamloops Blazers in a 5-4 overtime win over the Kelowna Rockets at Interior Savings Centre on Tuesday, April 9. Allen Douglas/KTW

The City of Kamloops is celebrating the 25th anniversary of Hillside Stadium and the Canada Games Aquatic Centre today (April 11) at a press conference. Pictured above are the early stages of construction 25 years ago. Below is a recent photo, picturing the same area a quarter-century later. Kamloops Mayor Peter Milobar will attend the event, which runs from 1:30 p.m. to 2 p.m. at Hillside. Submitted photos

Dreams get closer When the Kamloops Blazers beat the Kelowna Rockets 5-4 in overtime at Interior Savings Centre on Tuesday, April 9, they came within one win of reaching the WHL Western Conference final. Game 4 of the bestof-seven West semifinal was held after KTW’s press deadline on Wednesday, April 10, at ISC. Log on to kamloopsthisweek.com to find out what happened. Kamloops has not played for the Western

title since it swept TriCity in 1999. That year, the Calgary Hitmen dumped the Blazers in five games in the WHL championship final. If Kelowna won last night, Game 5 will be played in the Little Apple on Friday, April 12. The Blazers, if they were victorious on Wednesday, will meet the winner of the other West semifinal, which the Portland Winterhawks led 3-0 over the Spokane Chiefs at KTW’s press deadline.

Game 4 of that duel was played on Wednesday night. Blazer forward Brendan Ranford was named CHL player of the week for the period ending Sunday, April 7. Last week, he had three goals and eight points, helping the Blazers on their way to a 3-0 series lead. “I’ve shown I can be a point guy, but we’ve got a lot of guys in that room that just want to show the NHL world that we are winners and we’re never going to give up,” Ranford said.

A good reason to hit the links By Marty Hastings STAFF REPORTER sports@kamloopsthisweek.com

Swing the sticks, enjoy a few beverages and pitch in for a worthy cause. That is the message from the TRU Alumni and Friends Association, which is hosting its 20th annual fundraiser tournament at Pineridge Golf Course on Friday, May 10. “There’s no intimidation factor and there’s no pressure to know what you’re doing beforehand,” said Christine Anderson, tournament chair. “Last year, my dad

brought his girlfriend. She was like, ‘I don’t even know how to golf,’ and she had a blast.” The tournament is the association’s main fundraiser of the year. The goal: Drum up more than $10,000, which, give or take a few bucks, is what was raised in 2012. Board members require money to run events — such as career mentoring sessions, in which aspiring Thompson Rivers University students are able to pick the brains of practising professionals — and provide university scholarships.

Unlike many golf tournaments, which feature teams of four, squads of three will play 18 holes at Pineridge. It costs $85 per person to enter and the admission fee includes barbecue lunch and dinner, prizes, access to a silent auction and on-course food and beverage samples. Check-in is at 12:30 p.m. and the shotgun start is slated for 2 p.m. The association has multiple sponsorship packages. To inquire about those, email Canderson@tru.ca. Anderson is also looking for food and

beverage vendors to set up shop on the course and sample their products. The tournament is open to everyone, not just those who have attended TRU. “The name can be misleading . . . it’s open to everybody,” Anderson said. “We want it to be a community event.” After the tournament, the party continues in the clubhouse and often makes its way downtown. “It’s definitely the most casual TRU golf tournament,” Anderson said. “All golfers are welcome.”

Local judo clubs ﬁnd podium at Edmonton event The Aberdeen and Kamloops judo clubs were represented at the Edmonton International Open Judo Tournament, which concluded on Sunday, April 7, at the West Edmonton Mall.

Aberdeen Judo Club Gold medals were won by Megan Hanks in the under-18 cadet women’s division and Geoffrey Hanks in the under-15 juvenile boys’ category. In the veteran men’s division, third-degree black belt Jim Karas

won gold in stunning fashion — with a clean leg sweep — over fifth-degree black belt Robb Karaim of Regina. Winning silver medals were Samad Twemlow-Carter in the under-15 juvenile boys’ division and Brad Endean in the veteran men’s 35- to 39-year-old division. Morgan Endean won bronze in the under-15 juvenile girls’ category and Chris Maurer was third in the veteran men’s 35- to 39-year-old competition.

Jamari Tate, Kiara Endean, Liam Moss and Jens Krause performed well, but did not reach the podium.

Kamloops Judo Club Rick Pollon and Christian Aeibig both won a pair of medals — one gold and one bronze apiece. The gold medals were won in the nage no kata division — for a third-straight year — and the bronze medals came in the goshin jitsu competition.

TTHE VAULT

KTW’s Dale Bass got into a place usually off-limits — the Kamloops Art Gallery’s collection vault By Dale Bass STAFF REPORTER dale@kamloopsthisweek.com

TOP: Kamloops Art Gallery members look at some of the many Daphne Odjig prints the gallery owns during a tour of its vault. Conducting the tour is gallery registrar Dawn Vernon (centre). ABOVE: Vernon displays some of the works stored in the gallery vault. The area houses the more than 3,000-piece permanent collection the gallery has amassed through the years. The vessels pictured were created by Vancouver artist Eric Metcalfe. Dale Bass photos/KTW

IDDEN AWAY IN THE KAMLOOPS ART GALLERY (KAG), IN AN AREA few enter, are thousands of treasures. It’s KAG registrar Dawn Vernon’s domain — the vault where the KAG’s private collection of more than 3,000 pieces of art are catalogued and stored. For a couple of hours on a recent Saturday, the doors were open for tours by KAG members. With a collection that grows annually as the institution either acquires or, more likely, has works donated to it, space is at a premium and shelves under a staircase are now laden with part of the treasure trove. Last year, for example, the

collection grew by another 128 pieces. Among the works is one of the largest collection of art created by Toni Onley and the largest gathering of prints by Daphne Odjik — both renowned B.C. artists. Another gem: A two-sided painting by A.Y. Jackson of the Group of Seven, a work that requires “creating display,” Vernon said. Climate is essential for preservation, she said, with the two rooms kept at 20 C and 50 per cent humidity. Items being prepared for an upcoming exhibition are under plastic wrap. It’s Vernon’s job to care for the works and ensure they’re ready for tour. While the permanent collection isn’t often on display, parts of it regularly are shipped to other galleries.

With an active exhibition schedule — the KAG has shows booked for the next three years — there’s not much time or space left to put out some of its own possessions. Jann Bailey, executive director of the gallery, said the event left her “choked up” as she visited with the many members and supporters. Bailey said 120 invitations were sent out and 75 people accepted, most because they had never seen the vault and wanted that experience. “We had expected 20 or 30 people would come, so that was amazing,” she said. “There were four or five pastpresidents [of the board] there and founding members there, people who have supported the arts and the gallery since the beginning, certainly longer than the 25 years I’ve been here.”

Art exhibit winding down Tournament Capital artist Tara Bauer’s exhibition at the Kamloops Art Gallery is winding down this weekend. The exhibit, entitled Tara Bauer: Place in Memory, will opened on Saturday, April 6 at The Cube in the KAG.

Bauer interviewed elderly people and asked them to describe important places to which they felt connected. She then created paintings of the memories based on the interviewees’ descriptions. The paintings are overlaid with text taken from the interviews and memory maps drawn by the subjects accompany some of the works. Place in Memory runs through April 15 at The Cube in the KAG. For more information, go online to kag. bc.ca and click on the Tara Bauer: Place in Memory link.

LEO - Jul 23/Aug 23 Leo, you have exerted all your energy and now you’re looking to lessen the workload. Now could be the time to delegate some of your responsibilities to others.

SCORPIO - Oct 24/Nov 22 Pick your battles, Scorpio, because not everything will necessarily go your way. There is no point in creating extra stress and grief for yourself. SAGITTARIUS - Nov 23/Dec 21 Sagittarius, relax and open up to the ones you love. You may be surprised just how fulﬁlling and liberating this can feel, especially when you do it frequently. CAPRICORN - Dec 22/Jan 20 Capricorn, lean on friends and family when a difﬁcult situation presents itself. Not everything has to be a secret this week; you can use some support. AQUARIUS - Jan 21/Feb 18 Aquarius, expect to see everything in black and white in the days ahead. This is alright, just avoid taking this perspective to the extreme. Sometimes you have to have faith. PISCES - Feb 19/Mar 20 Pisces, things are changing all around you and you’ll get left behind if you don’t make some attempts to catch up.

VIRGO - Aug 24/Sept 22 Virgo, accepting help is not a weakness. While you may want to be an independent person, accept the help others have generously offered. LIBRA - Sept 23/Oct 23 Libra, sometimes you want to play the role of the savior. While your efforts are generous, not everyone will accept your advice or your gestures.

THIS WEEK

Research shows us that healthy lifestyles may help reduce the risk of Alzheimer’s disease and/or slow the disease progress once it has begun. Adopting a healthy diet may reduce the risk of Alzheimer’s disease directly, especially when coupled with physical activity and exercise — but also indirectly by reducing specific risk factors such as diabetes, heart disease and obesity. Healthy eating does not mean you can never eat your favourite foods again or that you have to ‘diet’ or buy ‘special foods’. Rather, it means learning to make healthier choices in the foods you eat, finding new or different ways to prepare these foods and eating in moderation. Here are some basic principles adapted from Living a Healthy Life with Chronic Conditions, by B.C.’s Ministry of Health Services, to help you start eating healthier:

1. Eating a variety of foods This allows the body to get all the essential nutrients it needs to function well. These nutrients include protein, carbohydrates, fats, vitamins and minerals. Taking vitamins and food supplements can never replace eating a variety of foods. These extras contain only the nutrients we know about. To get all the essential nutrients (both known and unknown), we need to eat a variety of foods.

2. Eating regularly and eating breakfast every day This provides the body with the fuel it needs to function well throughout the day. Breakfast is important because it is the first source of energy for the body after a long night of fasting. Deciding how to space the meals will depend on an individual’s needs. Some people may do well with three regular meals spaced four to five hours apart, while

others may need to eat smaller, more frequent meals or snacks during the day.

3. Eating the same amount at each meal This ensures the body has an adequate supply of energy to function optimally throughout the day. Not eating enough or skipping meals can throw your system off and lead to habits such as snack-

ing on sweets and junk food. Eating too much can cause problems as well, such as indigestion or increased discomfort. A great way to start healthy eating habits is to follow Canada’s Food Guide, a free publication provided by Health Canada.

Chef David Tombs takes the freshest local, organic & sustainable ingredients and crafts something truly remarkable.

Put your best food forward March was Nutrition Month, but any month is the perfect time to start thinking about how food choices can affect your health. Small changes can pay off big by reducing your risk, and your family’s risk, for obesity, diabetes, heart disease and cancer. The Interior Health Authority’s registered dietitians have a few simple tips to help you make healthier food choices: • Plan weekly meals: Spend a few minutes before you shop and plan your meals for the week; it’s one of the best ways to save money and time. “Looking at recipes, reading flyers, and checking your kitchen inventory can help you decide what meals you would like to prepare and what you will need to prepare them,” said registered dietitian Alexis Blueschke. • Use a list when you shop: Once you know what meals you are going to eat, you are ready to make a grocery-shopping list. “A shopping list not only keeps you on track, it can also help you make healthier choices,” said registered dietitian Karen Graham. • Grow some of your own food: Many of us have heard the saying “healthy eating begins at the grocery store.” While this is true, it’s important to remember healthy eating can also begin with a visit to your local farmers’ market — and you can grow your own food, as well. “Growing your own food is a great way to have more fresh produce,” said registered dietitian Cindy Bossio.

TRAVEL

In Halifax, the many memories live on By Margaret Deefholts SPECIAL TO KTW travelwriterstales.com

The faces stare back at me — old black and white photographs of men, women and children. A young man wears his cap set at a jaunty angle, but his eyes are apprehensive. A family huddles together as if for protection, the mother wearing a scarf, her overcoat neat, if shabby. A child clings to her skirt. In another shot, a teenager looks directly at the camera, her smile both tremulous and eager. This is Pier 21 in Halifax and these are refugees from war-torn Europe in the 1930s and 1940s, waiting in the immigration shed for their papers to be processed. Many have endured a long, weary voyage packed into crowded steamships. They have left behind the familiar landmarks of their lives — their neighbourhoods, their traditions, their friends and their loved ones. It is a strange new world they are entering, with no more than their valises in hand, metal trunks at their feet and dreams for the future in

their hearts. Now, over a halfcentury later, I stand in front of the doors, through which more than a million people took their first steps onto Canadian soil. For each one of them, it was more than crossing a threshold — it was a huge leap of faith into the future. They came here from every part of Europe, drawn by Canada’s promise of freedom from religious and ethnic persecution and the chance to start life anew. I can’t but wonder what became of them. Not just those 100,000 displaced persons and refugees, but also the 3,000 evacuee children sent here during the war for safety from the London Blitz. And, what of the 50,000 war brides who joined their Canadian spouses —some of them with children born of romantic, if fleeting, relationships? I think of our servicemen who left from Pier 21 and of those who didn’t come back through these doors. Pressing a button below a photo of uniformed men boarding a troopship, I listen to 101- 929 LAVAL CRESCENT, KAMLOOPS

an army officer’s comment: “As we steamed out of the harbour heading towards World War II Europe,” he says, “I looked back at Pier 21 and wondered if I would ever see it again.” He clears his throat and continues: “50,000 of us never returned. I was one of the lucky ones who did.” Our docent, Jennifer, is leading our group and answers my unspoken question about the brides, whose one-way passages were paid by Canada during and after the war. “We had a joyous 60th-anniversary reunion

for the war brides on Feb. 9, 2006,” she says. “Some were widows, but many joined us along with their husbands and families.” We pause in front of a shot of a tow-headed lad, whose grandmother is pouring him a drink of water. Jennifer tells us a greying, middle-aged man living in Winnipeg returned to Pier 21 a few years ago to identify his Russian grandmother and himself as that small boy caught by the camera’s eye almost 50 years ago. A woman in our group smiles as she hears this.

“I remember arriving here from Hungary in 1956,” she says in accented English. “We were fleeing the communists after the revolution, but my sister and I were just little and we didn’t understand, so I was scared. “My mother told me not to worry, that we were in a safe country now, where life would be beautiful.” She pauses to dab the corner of her eye before adding: “And, of course, she was right.” This isn’t unusual as Pier 21 still lives on in the minds and hearts of

many immigrants who bring their children and grandchildren back with them to walk the corridors of memory and to relive those first moments of their arrival in Canada. Perhaps the most poignant of all was the tale of a Holocaust survivor who, in a quiet moment when he had the Second World War deck to himself, knelt down and kissed the floor. It brings a lump to my throat. After 43 years, Pier 21 finally closed its doors in 1971. Re-opening in 1999, it is Canada’s only immigration museum, a

repository of haunting photographs, memorabilia and tales, both sorrowful and glad, told by new arrivals and their descendents — as well as by the officers, nurses, doctors, volunteers, social workers and other staff who worked here all those many years ago. Pier 21 is not just a place to visit. It is a profound and moving experience, perhaps one that should be on every Canadian’s list of things to do. Like me, whoever does so will never again take this country’s blessings for granted.

FAITH

The devil is nothing more than a big, fat liar

ESUS SAID THE devil is the father of lies. Why does the devil lie? To separate us from God — period. If you read no further, this would be enough. Among the devil’s many lies, he has three favourites he likes to tell: • Lie No. 1: God doesn’t exist and his word isn’t true. This lie is intended to cast doubt on the existence and nature of God and the trustworthiness of his word. If the devil can get people to think God doesn’t exist, then it would follow by implication that the Bible, the word of God, would not be true. If people believe this, the devil has accomplished his mission.

AL KENORE You Gotta Have FAITH His sole purpose has been realized. From his point of view, what better conclusion could there possibly be? Wasn’t this the strategy the devil used on Adam and Eve in the garden? The account in Genesis 3: 4-5 says the serpent who was crafty said to Eve: “You will not certainly die, for God knows that when you eat from it, your eyes will be opened and you will be like God, knowing good and evil.”

The first thing they tried to do after their eyes were opened was hide from God. They tried to hide, not because they had suddenly become bashful of their nudity, but because they now knew the difference between good and evil — namely that of being disobedient to God. When the devil told them, “You will be like God,” he knew that to put anything above God (or at the same level) would be displeasing to God. Wasn’t this the devil’s first sin, the one that got him kicked out of heaven? When the devil said, “You will not die,” it was just another lie. Adam and Eve died — and so will we all some day. Now, let’s suppose people don’t buy the

first lie. Instead, they believe that God exists and that his word is true, in which case the question becomes : Who is he and what does he do? This leads us directly to: • Lie No. 2: God isn’t love and he doesn’t love you. If people believe this, they won’t be able to experience God’s love because their perception of God and their frame of reference will be all wrong. If you have managed to clear the first two big hurdles and somehow believe there is a God and that he is love, then the devil will try to trip you up on the third lie. • Lie No. 3: You’ve missed God’s blessing because you’re a screwup. In other words, God

exists and he loves you, but you’ve missed the bus, missed the boat and missed God’s blessing because, you’re a screwup. (Another name for the devil is “accuser.” Can you see it?) The third lie casts doubt on God’s nature, namely that of benevolence, love, mercy, kindness, grace, forgiveness and the ability or willingness to bless you or meet your needs. If we believe this lie and think God can’t or won’t meet our needs, then we are very likely to take matters into our own hands and act independently of God. If we do this because we haven’t believed God or trusted his word, or consulted him about what his will is, we move outside the will of God for our lives.

When we are outside God’s will for our lives, we have put ourselves in a position in which God is unable to bless us as he would have intended. Can God bless disobedience any more than the devil can reward righteousness? Thankfully, however, God, in his ever-loving mercy, allows us to, at times, escape some of the bad consequences and implications of our wrong-headed and selfwilled actions. He even uses them to work out his plan and good purpose in our lives. The Bible is full of stories of how God worked out his purposes and plans through imperfect people. When you think about it, God really has no other choice because there is no other kind of people.

The good news is God also made it possible for us to be forgiven of our screw-ups and to have a right relationship with him through his son, Jesus. Isn’t it nice to know that, even though we have screwed up in the past, we don’t have to miss God’s blessing for the future? So, the next time those three big fat lies come to mind, remember these truths: God is, God is love and God loves you. Al Kenore moved to Kamloops one year ago and appreciates the friendly people and loves the scenic beauty of the area. He is an aspiring writer who likes to write articles, poems and songs, and paint art in his spare time.

While a Board of Directors governs the Association, the operational aspects of the Association fall directly to the General Manager. These aspects include: budgeting, work-planning, liaising with other organizations, supporting board operations, and executing the business, strategic and work-plans of the association each year. The General Manager answers to the President of the association regarding performance. The General Manager oversees all human resource functions including hiring, performance evaluations, and terminations of staff. The General Manager also monitors all beneﬁts such as holidays, time in lieu of work. Contractors who act on behalf of the Association, must also have performance clauses deﬁned. The General manager is also responsible for creating, enhancing, and maintaining the Association relationship with its members. Within these duties, the General Manager will notify the board of all emerging or current issues. FOR MORE INFO VISIT NSBIA.COM DEADLINE FOR SUBMISSIONS 4:00pm, April 19, 2013.
