‘Devastating’ attack takes its toll on kin By Dale Bass STAFF REPORTER dale@kamloopsthisweek.com

STAFF REPORTER dale@kamloopsthisweek.com

Cam Taylor was that kid who always sat at the back of the class. The one who didn’t want the teacher to notice him, to ask him a question, to expect an answer. Today, he’s still sitting at the back of his Grade 8 math class — but that’s because it’s where he ended up, not where he chose to retreat in his desire to hide. And he’s not shy about answering a question posed by teacher Katie McCormack. None of the students are all that reluctant to take part in class, even though they are studying math — a subject that, until now, has confounded them and made them think they couldn’t succeed. They are involved in what McCormack and fellow teacher Teresa Atkinson at Brock middle school call daily math — instead of

having a class every second day, these kids have given up an elective option in order to take math every day. Cam’s story isn’t unique. Chaz Peterhans has always had anxiety from having to leaarn math. Kennedie Slack transferred into the program because, in regular math class, lessons were conducted too fast for her to process. Brooke Haukeness was held back a year because, she said, “there were gaps in my understanding that I couldn’t fill in properly.” Jake Cormer had what McCormack calls “attendance issues” last year, especially for his Grade 7 math class — but that attitude is a thing of the past. McCormack said the daily-math idea came from ongoing frustration she was experiencing with students who were just being pushed through the system. “These kids were passing math because

there was nowhere else to put them,” she said. “It was beyond embarrassing. And I just won’t pass a kid who doesn’t get it.” She and Atkinson talked about it with principal Tom Dindsale and daily math was the result. There is no homework assigned because experience has shown the kids won’t do it. It’s better to have students do the work in class with the supports posted on the board — all kinds of equations and mathematical realities that remain there even during tests — so students can do math in a supportive environment with a teacher who is going to help them figure it out. “But, let’s be clear, this is not a panacea,” McCormack said. “The best, the absolute best we can expect is for some of them to get a B. “Most will get a C or a C-minus, a C-plus, but they’ll have earned that mark.” X See STUDENTS A12

Mike Forry has always been a skateboarder. Even as an adult, his sister Ann said, he loves the sport. That makes the anger all the more deeper, knowing it was a board that led to her big brother lying in the intensivecare unit at Royal Inland Hospital, not showing any indication he knows Ann, their parents or his daughter are there, while a tracheotomy tube helps him breathe. “He seems to be following us around the room with his eyes,” Ann said from her office in Vancouver, where she runs a casting company. “It’s brutal. It’s devastating for us. He’s making some progress, but we have no idea. There could be years or rehabilitation ahead. Nobody knows.” Mike, a representative of the United Steelworkers Union who lives in Mackenzie, was hit in the back of the head with a longboard — a type of skateboard — on March 24 outside the 7-Eleven store in Brocklehurst. Kamloops RCMP said at the time the incident began when a group of teens jaywalked across

Mike Forry remains in serious condition in Royal Inland Hospital, while his daughter (middle photo) is with Mike’s sister.

Tranquille Road and a motorist honked at the group. Someone or something hit the Ford Expedition, in which Forry was a passenger. The driver parked his truck at the store and got out to confront the teens and Forry, 46, was struck. Compounding the stress is the fact the elder Forrys were in accidents one week apart.

2013 B.C. ELECTION PROFILE ELECTION 2013

Tom Friedman on Tuesday,April 23

TODAY: PETER SHARP, B.C. CONSERVATIVE, KAMLOOPS-SOUTH THOMPSON

Sharp has one way to go — up By Andrea Klassen STAFF REPORTER andrea@kamloopsthisweek.com

Dave Eagles/KTW

When Peter Sharp ran his first campaign for city council in 1999, few people expected him to win. “There were 35 people running that year — 35!” Sharp says, as though he still can’t believe it. Newly retired from the RCMP and not as well-known as some in the race, Sharp’s sixth-place finish surprised running mates and some members of his own family. In 2002, he ran again, moving up to a fifth-place finish. But, in 2005, his political fortunes took a turn for the worse. “Like anything in politics, you might take things for granted and I lost the election by a sliver,” Sharp recalls. “Then I thought, ‘Well, I’ll try it again’ and lost by 70 votes. Then I tried again because it was so close and I lost again by a small number.” At the end of 2011, Sharp, at the urging of his wife, decided it was time to stop chasing a council seat. “I decided to burn my signs

and throw them away,” he says. A little more than a year later, there are new signs and a new campaign — and Sharp is hoping his 1999 municipal-election upset can be repeated at the provincial level, under the flag of the B.C. Conservatives. A former B.C. Liberal supporter, Sharp said he gave up on the governing party for good in September 2012, when the government spent $6 million to cover the legal fees of two staffers who pleaded guilty in the B.C. Rail scandal. Even before then, Sharp says, his distaste for the party was growing. “Over the years, I’ve found that with power comes arrogance and I’ve seen some of that arrogance when I was on council,” he says. “We’d go to meet cabinet ministers and I’ve seen it where they’ve told us when we walk in the door as a council, with our mayor, ‘If you’re here to talk about such-and-such, it’s off the table.’ And that really bothered me.” While the Conservatives trail the Liberals and NDP in the polls, Sharp thinks his party has

been underestimated. “If I’m that low, I’ve only got one way to go and that’s up,” Sharp says. “And they’ve only got one way to go and that’s down. “Once we start rolling on this campaign, I think that you’ll see the Conservative party starting to move up,” he says, pointing to the B.C. Liberals’ own history on the campaign trail — from also-ran to opposition to government — as a sign that it can be done. While the Liberals have accused the Conservatives of splitting the right-wing vote to ensure an NDP victory, Sharp (who speaks of the Liberals often and the NDP almost never in an hour with KTW) hopes voters will see it differently. “I think it’s time that the Liberal party opened up their eyes locally and said, ‘Maybe we should give someone else a try,’” he says. “I think [Kamloops-South Thompson B.C. Liberal candidate] Todd Stone should be worrying he’s going to split the vote, not me, because I’m the new candidate coming out of the woods.”

KTW Q&A: The lighter side of Peter Sharp and that ride down the coast KTW: What’s your favourite movie? SHARP: “I enjoyed watching Lincoln. I think it’s of historic significance. It was a great movie.” KTW: What’s the last book you read? SHARP: “Pillars of the Earth by Ken Follett, which chronicles the building of a cathedral in the fictional town of

Kingsbridge, England.” KTW: Name one interesting fact most people wouldn’t know about you. SHARP: “I’ve always loved playing bagpipes, though I don’t play as much as I used to.” KTW: You ride a motorcycle. What’s the

2013 Tuesday April 23 | 5 pm - 8 pm Courthouse, Kamloops

best road trip you’ve taken on your bike? SHARP: “I went from here and I took the back road to Princeton on the Old Kamloops Highway. I met two other guys just before we crossed the border into the state of Washington and then we headed down, crossed over the Cascade Mountains and went down the coast road all the way to San Francisco, through the redwood forests. It

was just absolutely a brilliant ride.” KTW: What’s your favourite bagpipe tune? SHARP: “The one I really like right now and have for a number of years is called Caber Feidh. It’s a great tune, it fires up the hairs on the back of your neck.” KTW: You and Kamloops-North

Thompson MLA Terry Lake served on city council together. If you’re both elected, who buys dinner in Victoria? SHARP: “I don’t mind buying dinner for Terry, because he’s going to be the senior politician if I get elected and he gets elected — but I have a feeling the Liberal party’s going to have a struggle.”

When Dawnica Flatt blows the whistle at 11 a.m. on Saturday, April 20, more than 40 Kamloops moms will start changing diapers. They will be joining thousands of other diaper-changers around the world as part of the fourth annual Guinness World Record attempt for the most babies being changed into cloth diapers at once. Last year, more than 8,200 babies officially took part in the change. While 25 Kamloops babies were also involved, Flatt said they were left off the tally because of Guinness’ strict recording rules. “Because it’s Guinness, it’s very formal and I have to ask participants to hold their diaper up, and then I blow a whistle, and then the change happens, and then everyone holds their baby that’s been changed,” she said. “Last year we had 24 and we needed 25 babies to count towards the Guinness record — and our 25th participant came after I blew the whistle, so we couldn’t count them.” This year, there are already 40 babies registered, ensuring Kamloops will count toward the total. Flatt, who owns Snug Glee Bumz Diaper Service, said the event is meant to raise the profile of cloth diapers, which produce less waste and are seen by some parents as a more natural solution than their disposable counterparts. “People are going more natural with parenting, I’m noticing,”

Flatt said. “They’re making their own food, they’re becom-

ing more concerned with the chemicals the put on their baby’s skin. Cloth

Don’t count B.C. Conservatives out of the election campaign This is the second in a series of policy commentaries on the four main parties contesting the 2013 B.C. election. S THE B.C. NDP launched its election campaign last week with a package of income-tax hikes, higher than those in the B.C. Liberals’ election budget of February, a third party leader toured the province with plans to get rid of the carbon tax. It’s not readily apparent from his recently released fiscal-framework document, but B.C. Conservative Leader John Cummins told me his plan to phase out B.C.’s carbon tax does not include raising income-tax rates that were lowered to make the carbon tax “revenue neutral.” He predicts revenue growth. I reached Cummins in Prince George, where he was continuing his aggressive courtship of Northern B.C. with an announcement that federal gas-tax revenues would be redirected to a new fund for locally determined road improvements. Earlier, he vowed to study the deplorable state of northern ambulance service. Cummins has more good news for the north as that’s where a regionally phased elimination of the carbon tax would begin. It’s also the area of thinnest population, meaning the impact on the B.C. treasury would be less. This is, after all, a tax budgeted to bring in $1.2 billion in the current year. The B.C. Conservatives continually remind people that the carbon tax falls disproportionately on rural, remote and particularly northern folks who

VICTORIA face long distances, long winters and public-transit options ranging from slim to none. This has ceased to be much of an issue for the urban B.C. majority, who are focused on bridge tolls, ferry fares and the like. The B.C. Conservatives decry the population decline of rural B.C., with international immigration almost exclusively going to big cities, while temporary foreign workers increasingly fill agricultural and industrial jobs in the Interior. The party’s still-evolving platform echoes the NDP’s call for more skills training and increased completion rates for trade apprentices. Cummins is in favour of the proposed Northern Gateway oil pipeline and the massive buildup of infrastructure needed to add liquefied natural gas to B.C.’s energy export mix. He sees that enormous industrial expansion as the path to shift population growth beyond the south of the province. Cummins is surprisingly cool to one industrial project — the proposed Site C dam on the Peace River, calling

himself undecided. He also sounds skeptical about the B.C. Liberal plan to extend B.C.’s electricity grid and use that to develop further independent power. This sounds to me like political positioning rather than economic analysis. An anti-Site C independent candidate has significant support in Peace River North, creating a three-way struggle for a key B.C. Conservative target. The B.C. Conservative platform also totals up the billions in long-term electricity contracts with private power producers and suggests the price for this clean energy has been set too high. This is another echo of the NDP’s vague position. So, if the B.C. Conservatives are gung-ho on oil and gas and think the carbon tax is a mistake, do they think there should be any effort to mitigate greenhouse-gas emissions? Cummins sidestepped that question, preferring to talk about conventional air pollution, whether it’s in the Fraser Valley or as a byproduct of a northern industrial boom. As a long-time former Reform and Conservative MP, Cummins is acutely aware the urban media will leap with extra vigour on any perceived gaffe of the right wing. Should a Conservative let slip that he’s skeptical about global warming — or worse, express a rustic view on social issues, all hell would break loose. The B.C. Conservatives have started with the most detailed, costed platform of any party. Don’t count them out. tfletcher@blackpress.ca

Two explosions near the finish line of the famed Boston Marathon seem to indicate terrorism attacks continue, with large, high-profile events in the U.S. the favoured targets. These attacks were well-planned. Anyone who pays attention to American culture knows the Boston Marathon is among the most prestigious races of its type and attracts major media attention. This is tailor-made for terrorists, who crave publicity. Their purpose is to scare large numbers of people, bring attention to themselves and show the United States and other major countries that, no matter how hard they try, they can’t completely stop these types of attacks. Terrorists seek, more than anything else, to disrupt the way of life most people in North America and Europe enjoy. They want to disrupt democracy and bring chaos, confusion and death to others — for various reasons. The Sept. 11, 2001 attacks, of course, were the worst terrorist attacks in living memory — but there have been others, in Bali, London and Mumbai. The culprits are a varied lot. While many attacks have been attributed to Al-Qaeda, the Oklahoma City bombing in 1995 was the work of a group of Americans angry at its own government. The person(s) responsible for the Boston attack may also be a so-called regular American, born and bred in the United States and instilled with a hatred of government. The attack did occur on Tax Day in the U.S. Canada, while it has escaped terrorist attacks, has had a number of near-misses. Several years ago, a group of young people were arrested outside Toronto and they had plans to set off explosions. Just recently, two of the extremists who attacked an Algerian gas plant in January were from London, Ont. Terrorism is a sad fact of life in our modern age.

Jacko has long been a fantastic ﬁshing lake Editor: A statement about Jacko Lake as it relates to the proposed Ajax mine, attributed to geologist Colin Russell in the April 11 edition of KTW (‘What lies beneath’) must be corrected. Russell is reported to have said 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 became self-replenishing with fish. “I don’t know if people remember that,” Russell is quoted as saying. He implies that Teck and the former Ajax mine were creators of the excellent recreational fishery that is Jacko Lake. Obviously, people

Editor: We were watching the results for the Liberal Party of Canada’s leadership campaign on Sunday, April 14. One in our group suggested a pool in which we pick the time of the first Conservative advertising attack. He then chose 9 a.m. on Monday, April 15. None of us would bet against that time. Such is the nature and predictability of the Conservative Party of Canada. The list of those attacked is now lengthy and results obtained seem to be following the law of diminishing returns. I’m reminded of the famous Nixon Republican Party enemies list of the early 1970s. After the initial outrage, being on the list became a badge of honour. Soon those omitted were outraged for

Irrigation storage licences on Jacko date back to at least 1896, so the original dam of one metre was probably built about that time. Teck did raise the dam by one metre in the 1990s, but as mitigation for environmental impacts from its original Ajax mine. That additional metre of storage is held in a conservation licence by the province. The first recorded fish stocking of Jacko by the province was 1954 but, given its quality fishery in the 1950s, it likely was stocked unofficially well before then. The province currently stocks Jacko annually with rainbow trout which, combined with natural recruitment from the inlet and outlet channels, creates the fishery. Jacko is an important recreational fishery

and was for decades before Teck bought the Morrison Ranch and developed the original Ajax mine. The recreational community has valid concerns about the potential negative impacts to Jacko if the proposed Ajax mine is approved. The recreational community and its concerns must be given due consideration in the assessment process. It is unfortunate Russell chose to make unsubstantiated statements to the media in an apparent attempt to discredit the value of Jacko’s fishery and the lake’s overall ecological value. Such statements serve only to further muddy the waters around the proposed Ajax mine issue. Don Trethewey Kamloops

ly fished Jacko, which was definitely a lake. In those days, it was well-known locally for its large rainbow trout — many in the fivepound range and some well over 10 pounds. In fact, it was a lake eons before the first irrigation dam was built on its outlet at about the turn of the 20th century. I obtained the following data about Jacko Lake from Steve Maricle, senior fisheries biologist with the Thompson region of the Ministry of Forests, Lands & Natural Resource Operations. Jacko is currently 23 metres (+/- 75 feet) deep with a two-metre (+/- 6.5 feet) dam at its outlet. Even without the dam, it would be 21 metres (+/- 69 feet) deep — definitely not a swamp and capable of supporting trout.

having been excluded. This whole business of Conservative attack ads would be little more than farce if the harm being done wasn’t so great.

On one level, Liberals would have cause to worry if the Conservatives hadn’t attacked new leader Justin Trudeau. Wouldn’t that indicate he was not a

threat to the Harperites? However, Prime Minister Stephen Harper delivered right on cue, just as my colleague said he would. The ad now raises the question: What does our Conservative MP Cathy McLeod make of it? Does she agree with the tactic? We have yet to hear from her and silence is itself an answer. If McLeod doesn’t repudiate the attack, then she will have proved one of the points Trudeau made on Sunday afternoon — that here in Kamloops-ThompsonCariboo, we do not have a representative championing our aspirations and goals in Parliament. Instead, we are burdened with a person who is little more than a conduit for the decrees of Harper. Murray Todd president Kamloops-Thompson-Cariboo Liberal constituency association

While cloth diapers are traditionally thought of as messy and difficult to use, Flatt said the technology has improved over the years. “Diaper styles have come a long way, where the plastic pants are now built right in to the diaper,” she said. “There’s still the pre-folds for sure, but there’s more options than in the past, when it was just cloth you folded and that worked.” The record attempt will take place on Saturday, April 20, at Southwest

Petition does not prompt council to oppose Ajax By Andrea Klassen STAFF REPORTER andrea@kamloopsthisweek.com

“Just for the hell of it,” Coun. Donovan Cavers decided to try to give 2,500 signatories of an online petition their wish at Kamloops council’s Tuesday, April 16,meeting. The Change.org petition, started by Steve Knudson, called on city council to oppose the development of the Ajax copper and gold mine proposed for south of the city. Councillors had already agreed to receive the petition for information, with the idea of considering it more thoroughly when they look at the technical information the mine is expected to submit this fall for its environmental assessment. “I’d be very uncomfortable now if anyone made a motion to say support, not

support or make a comment right now,” said Coun. Arjun Singh, who suggested the move. Coun. Tina Lange, who, like Cavers, is openly opposed to the proposed mine, suggested council forward the petition to senior levels of government as well, “saying this is what we’ve been told. We don’t have to agree with it, just here’s the information that we’ve received and we’re passing it on.” However, Mayor Peter Milobar said the petition had already been sent to the provincial and federal governments, while Singh was concerned passing it along again could look like an endorsement on the city’s part. Only Cavers and Lange voted to forward the document. They were also the only two councillors to vote to oppose Ajax when Cavers

made his motion a few minutes later. Meanwhile, a pro-Ajax online petition at Change.org is now making rounds of inboxes in Kamloops. It was created by Caroline King.

Less-expensive water connection Connecting Campbell Creek to the city’s water-treatment plant has turned out to be less expensive then expected. Kamloops council has awarded the construction contract for the job to Extreme Excavating, which will do the work for less than $2.1 million. That brings the total cost of the project to $2.4 million, well under the $3.2 million the city expected to spend. Because the project is being funded through borrowing, not property taxes, the savings won’t have a noticeable impact for property owners this year.

COVER PAGE STORY

Students will pass math with ‘dignity’ X From A1

“Before, we were passing them because they’re breathing,” McCormack said. “These kids are going to pass with dignity.” Atkinson said she works at breaking down big mathematical concepts into smaller chucks “so they can understand those chunks as we go along.” Sometimes it means going back to the absolute basics to fill in the math gaps students have developed through the years. “We always keep the big picture in mind,” Atkinson said, with the main goal to replace the anxiety with a sense of accomplishment, pride, self-worth and confidence. Jessie Buster chose to do daily math rather than regular math because of the extra teaching received. “There’s a lot more review, so I remember it,” she said. “It’s a system that works for you.” Rose Derenowski, a student who before might not have said 10 words during an entire school year in math class, was asked to demonstrate for KTW how the class uses whiteboards and the many strategies on the walls. While showing the usual reluctance of any young person asked to get up and do something in front of a visitor, Rose was up and over at the board, demonstrating how students can refer to it, in this case, to determine the formula for finding the circumference of a square. McCormack was delighted because, in doing so, Rose had shown how she has overcome her reluctance to try with others watching. What happens next for some of these students isn’t clear. McCormack’s kids have all signed up for the Grade 9 daily math, once again forgoing any elective for that period each day so they can work on their math skills. After that, they will move on to another secondary school, most

likely NorKam. The teachers are talking with staff there in hopes their program might spread and provide some continuation for their students. But, that’s for next year. Right now, they’re just taking it day by day, one equation after another, finding one success after another. And, if the best they get at the end of the school year is a C, that won’t matter — because they’ll know they worked hard and earned it.

KGHM International Undertakes Brief Imaging Exercise for its Ajax Project KGHM International is continuing the work necessary for the submittal of our Ajax Project Environmental Assessment Application, scheduled for September 2013. A component of this work is ﬁnalizing our proposed mine’s infrastructure layout. In order to more accurately plan for certain elements of the mine, we need a detailed survey of the area.

In the next couple of weeks, surveyors will set up base stations for a Light Detection and Ranging (LiDAR) project. The stations will look very similar to typical survey equipment and may be in place for several days. When the weather is optimal, an airplane will ﬂy over the site at an altitude of between 1000 and 1170 meters to take photographs and laser imaging at points marked by the stations. The survey will take one day to complete and will provide a high resolution topographic survey of the surface on the mine site. We ask the community to continue to exercise caution while in the area of the mine because other work is ongoing.

I’ll take another two bottles please!” This coming from a customer who had tried every other natural remedy under the sun in the past few years to take away her pain. Ian, the owner of the health food store couldn’t believe his ears. He had finally found the perfect product to stop his customer’s miseries. This is what every owner of a health food store dreams about, a natural product that receives so many outstanding testimonials on such a wide variety of health issues. “I had recommended a new product called LeafSource, which we recently started carrying. We have had tremendous success with this product, and almost everyone we have recommended it to over the last few months has come back and thanked us over and over again” said Ian. Before trying LeafSource, the woman had complained about her ongoing joint pain and was at her wit’s end. Although she had experienced some relief through the numerous natural remedies she had tried over the years, the pain would never fully go away. “She returned to my store, in tears, less than one week after buying LeafSource. I didn’t know what to make of this woman standing in front of me crying, until she told me that within a few days of taking LeafSource her pain started to disappear and within a week it was completely gone - as if it was never there.” Ian goes on, “This coming from a woman whose painful joints and ongoing sciatica were so bad just one week earlier, that the pain was unbearable but now has completely subsided.”

Why is it so eﬀective? LeafSource is a 100% natural product derived from a proprietary organic mineral composite with over ten years of university research. LeafSource helps regulate the inflammatory process and the body’s ability to repair itself. The vast majority (70-80%) of the population over the age of 50 have joint problems—often called osteoarthritis. This is due to the natural (or unnatural) wear and tear on joint tissue that develops through the aging process. With joint inflammation, movement is limited and pain can be constant. LeafSource seems to have the ability to help people get their mobility and zest for life back. Millions of people seek treatment for their joint and inflammation problems by resorting to expensive, toxic prescription drugs (i.e. NSAIDs) with multiple side effects. These range from nausea and vomiting to serious intestinal disorders (bleeding, gas, pain) and even kidney and liver failure. Isn’t that too large a price to pay for a little pain relief!? LeafSource is a safe alternative to these destructive antiinflammatory drugs that cause many more problems than they solve. It is safe to take up to six per day with absolutely no side-effects and it doesn’t interfere with any other medications. Controlled experiments and observations have revealed that LeafSource is a potent anti-inflammatory that has been shown to bring a reduction of inflammation and pain within a few days. People notice great results in terms of more energy and less pain by taking anywhere from 2 to 6 capsules/day. Typical maintenance is usually 1 capsule twice daily.

This product get results! LeafSource is scientiﬁcally validated through more than 10 years of research at 4 universities, including the Department of Pharmaceutical Sciences, Mercer University. But it’s what LeafSource users are saying that truly demonstrates the products eﬀectiveness: I have had cronic pain for over 15 years and have been going to a chiropractor monthly for pain therapy. I started using LeafSource two months ago and I am amazed at the results. I no longer have tendinitis, carple tunnel or irritable bowel. My arthritis is manageable, all my joints are limber and I’m able to exercise again. My energy levels are up, my nails and hair are stronger and my skin is softer. ~ Debbie

I am pretty stunned what this has done for me in 8 days of taking LeafSource. For 18 years I have tried many many products ...most of them expensive. And most did not work at all. I had been on a mission to find a product that is doing exactly what LeafSource is doing.So here I am on day 9 with 90% of my pain gone. ~ N. W. - Toronto

Homeless camp likely sparked Lorne ﬁre By Tim Petruk STAFF REPORTER tim@kamloopsthisweek.com

Pot bust in Barnhartvale A 60-year-old man was arrested and released on a promise to appear in court in June after police found 1,200 marijuana plants in a hydroponic-growing process in a barn, fifthwheel trainer and semitruck trailer on Robin Creek Road. “Does that surprise you?” Ward said to media at a briefing at the RCMP detachment. “It’s spring.” Ward said the man was arrested at the Barnhartvale site. A loaded firearm was discovered inside a home on the property. RCMP are recommending charges of production of a controlled substance, possession for the purpose of trafficking, theft of electricity and firearmsrelated offences.

A homeless camp is likely to blame for a blaze at a heritage building on Lorne Street on Tuesday, April 16. Kamloops Fire Rescue Insp. Dan Funk said crews were called to the B.C. Sheep Breeders Building, 961 Lorne St., at about 10 p.m. after a passerby spotted flames. Firefighters were able to snuff out the flames before the fire got through the building’s exterior. “Without a quick response from the fire department, this could have been a different scenario,” Funk said. Investigators found no accelerants at the scene, but Funk said candles were located, as well as a pile of card-

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! 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!

board boxes. He said he can remember previous fires in the area resulting from homeless camps. Fires set accidentally as a result of homeless camps have proven to be devastating in the past. On Feb. 4, 2008, the Japanese Cultural

Centre on Vernon Avenue in North Kamloops was gutted by a blaze believed to have been sparked by a group of homeless people trying to keep warm in a makeshift tent behind the building. Funk said KFR will work with city staff to cre-

ate a 10-metre “accelerant-free buffer” around the B.C. Sheep Breeders Building and address concerns about the vulnerability of the structure’s cedar siding. Funk said the blaze is not suspicious. The building is used to house set

materials for Western Canada Theatre. WCT general manager Lori Marchand said none of the company’s equipment was damaged.

The B.C. Sheep Breeders Building was constructed in 1929 and was added to the Canadian Register of Historic Places in March 2009.

Kamloops loses 31 ﬂavours In the spring of 2011, North Kamloops got its 31 flavours when Baskin Robbins opened a store on Tranquille Road. Tournament Capital residents living south of the river got their 31 flavours a few months later, when the venerable ice-cream shop opened a location in Aberdeen Mall. Now, Kamloops is about to become Baskin Robbins-less once again. The North Shore Baskin Robbins

closed in October and, according to owner/operator Anisha Nihalani, the

Aberdeen Mall outlet will follow suit before the end of this month. “We apologize for any inconvenience

this may cause to our loyal guests in the Kamloops area,” read a written statement provided to KTW from Dunkin’ Brands Group, Baskin Robbins’ parent company. “We are committed to British Columbia and are currently in the process of remodelling our existing locations in the province. “We are also looking to add new Baskin Robbins shops throughout the region in the coming years.”

Highland Drive project a go By Andrea Klassen STAFF REPORTER andrea@kamloopsthisweek.com

Highland Drive will get an extra lane and pedestrian pathway by the end of the year, but a request from a Juniper Ridge resident for parking along the road won’t be part of the plans. Tony Brummel, appearing before council this week for the second time on the issue, said residents who hike and walk dogs in the benchlands between Juniper Ridge and Valleyview typically pull their cars off to the side of the road midway up the hill. The new design won’t allow for that same manoeuvre. “The central bench has been used by hundreds, thousands of people over the years,” Brummel said. “I think it would be unfair and perhaps unreasonable to suddenly cut that off and say. ‘I’m sorry, the benchlands are out of our purview.’” While city staff had a few options for adding parking to the road, capital projects manager Kristen Meersman said doing so could delay construction and create safety hazards in the area. The land next to Highland Drive is owned by a private developer. Further west, it’s part of the Owl Road landfill.

Neither are city-sanctioned recreation areas, Meersman said. While staff offered four options for adding parking, Meersman said only the fourth — a parking lot that would cost at least $300,000, not including the cost of land — would be accessible to traffic going both ways and save residents from trying to parallel park on an arterial road. Councillors weren’t eager to embrace the extra cost for the $3.3-million project.

“We’re talking about giving access to lands that we don’t own,” Coun. Ken Christian said. “The notion of us procuring additional land and the expense to do that for land we don’t own doesn’t make sense to me.” Council unanimously voted to move ahead with the project, minus the parking. Meersman said it will go to tender in June, with a goal of wrapping up construction by the end of 2013.

VERMONT “MONTY” SCOTT 1946 - 2013 Vermont Randolph Scott, born April 24, 1946 in Kamloops, BC passed away April 1, 2013 in Kamloops, BC. Monty is the son of the late Howard and Alice Scott, Kamloops, BC. He is much loved and greatly missed by Claire, Beth and Adin. Monty was very proud of his historic roots in the province of British Columbia. The Lehman family, for whom Mt. Lehman, BC was named, is his mother’s family. Monty enjoyed hosting the Lehman Family reunion and appreciated the family’s special connection with the towns of Ashcroft and Clearwater. The Scotts were in business in Kamloops for over a hundred years. Sam Scott, his grandfather, started an ice business in the days before refrigeration. Ice was harvested from the lakes above Kamloops and stored near Pioneer Park for delivery in the city during the warm weather. The Scott family home, built circa 1910, remains on Royal Avenue in North Kamloops. His father, Howard, was Kamloops’ blind plumber and also started the mobile home park on the north shore. Monty attended John Todd Elementary, North Kamloops Elementary, graduated from NorKam and completed grade 13 at Kamloops Secondary School. He received his Bachelor of Commerce from UBC in 1972, returning home to Kamloops to continue working in the family business. He had his own trucking business moving mobile homes through BC and elsewhere. Using his backhoe and dump truck, Monty did contract work in Kamloops and the surrounding area. Monty had many community involvements: Scouting, Camp Grafton in Magna Bay, St. Andrew’s and Caledonian Society and Barkerville, BC. He put many miles on his vehicle and travel trailer exploring the province and much of the U.S.A. Monty had a great interest in promoting mobile home parks as desirable and affordable housing. He served on the board of directors of the Manufactured Home Park Owners Association of BC, including time as its president. Monty loved to square dance and belonged to several groups over the years, the latest being the Kamloops Square Dance Club. His last adventures in square dancing included dances with Beth in Kamloops and in Wales. Monty had an early interest in music, taking accordion lessons as a school boy that he paid for with his paper route money and continuing on to an acoustic guitar and, finally, to a double keyboard Kawai organ in his later years. Monty’s passion for skiing began just after high school when he became kitchen help at Todd Mountain. He soon became a volunteer member of the Todd Mountain ski patrol. Later, he would enjoy helicopter skiing with Al in places in Western Canada and fun days at Sun Peaks with Ron. Monty was immensely proud of his kids. He heartily supported them in all their endeavours. He especially applauded their music activities from Adin’s solos at the Sunset Theatre in Wells to Beth’s onstage experiences with the Saundersfoot Theatre in Wales. He encouraged them in their academic efforts. He was first to volunteer as a parent for Beth’s class trip to Barkerville and Adin’s rugby games in the Okanagan. We will continue to miss his positive input in our lives in the years to come. Monty lived his life in service to his Lord. His care of family and friends and his conduct as a businessman all reflected his beliefs. His years as a member of Mt. Paul United Church and, later, as a member of the Kamloops Evangelical Free Church were a testimony to his faith. Without the kindness of dear friends, this journey would have been even so much more difficult than it was. We especially remember the love and assistance of Lissa, Al, Tricia, Don, Mary, Dave, Brenna, Lynn, Eric, Ted and Ruth. We thank the staff of Blueberry Lane in Overlander and those at Orchard at Ridgeview Lodge for their special dedication to the difficult job caring for those with Alzheimer’s disease. We send a special thank you to the Kamloops Evangelical Free Church for their care and support of our family through the difficult time of Monty’s decline. It has had a profound effect on our family. In lieu of flowers your donation to the Alzheimer’s Society would be appreciated as Alzheimer’s disease receives the least amount of research money of any known disease. 2 Corinthians 4:16-18 “So we do not lose heart. Though our outer self is wasting away, our inner self is being renewed day by day. For this light momentary affliction is preparing for us an eternal weight of glory beyond all comparison, as we look not to the things that are seen but to the things that are unseen. For the things that are seen are transient, but the things that are unseen are eternal.”

The Funeral Service will be held at 10:00 am on Sunday, April 21, 2013 in the Kamloops Funeral Home Chapel, 285 Fortune Drive. Arrangements entrusted to Kamloops Funeral Home 250-554-2577 Condolences may be emailed to the family from www.kamloopsfuneralhome.com

Her Journey’s Just Begun Don’t think of her as gone away, Her journey’s just begun. Life holds so many facets, This earth is only one. Just think of her as resting, From the sorrows and the tears, In a place of warmth and comfort, Where there are no days and years. Think how she must be wishing, That we could know today, How nothing but our sadness, Can really pass away. And think of her as living, In the hearts of those she touched, For nothing loved is ever lost; And she was loved so much. E. Brenneman

COVER PAGE STORY

Victim of attack may never work again Their mother was driving to Kamloops from Mackenzie, where they live, with Mike’s 13-year-old daughter in the car, heading to RIH. Their car hit a patch of ice near Prince George, the vehicle crashed into a water-filled ditch and the teenager had to climb out a window to get to safety and help her grandmother. The car was a write-off, Ann said. Seven days later, her father was driving Mike’s truck to the Coast when he also went off the road and through a grove of trees about 100 feet into a field. He had to crawl out to call for help, Ann said. None of the three was hurt badly, but each was traumatized

from the accidents. Ann blames the stress of her brother’s injury on the crashes — and she’s angry. “I’ve heard from people in Kamloops that this kid is going around gloating, telling people what he did,” she said of the

15-year-old who was questioned in the incident that led to her brother’s brain injury. Mike is not only the sole parent looking after his daughter — who is now staying with Ann — but he also looks after their parents, who have

their own health issues with which to contend. Their mother is trying to get Mike registered for disability payments now that he

is unable to work — and, Ann added, he may not ever be able to work again. “The doctors have confirmed the impact

this is a severe brain injury. “We’re hoping he just gets stable enough to move to Vancouver.”

THE REMATCH By Marty Hastings STAFF REPORTER sports@kamloopsthisweek.com

ELIEF. You can’t draw it up on a white board. Coaching manuals don’t teach it. The Kamloops Blazers need it if they are going to get past the Portland Winterhawks and into the WHL championship. “I don’t think, as a staff, we have to do much at all to instil belief,” said Dave Hunchak, the Blazers’ associate coach. “The guys themselves have been waiting for this for a year. “They believe themselves that, if anyone is going to give Portland a run on our side, it’s going to be us.” Game 1 of the bestof-seven conference final is scheduled for Friday, April 19, at Veterans Memorial Coliseum in Portland. Last season, the Blazers regained the respect of many disaffected fans with their effort in the West semifinal series against the Winterhawks, losing in seven games after falling behind 3-0. The improbable rally included Game 6, which will go down as one of the all-time great comebacks in franchise history.

Being close to beating Portland, though, is not tantamount to beating Portland — and the Blazers again played second fiddle this season to their American rivals. The Winterhawks won the season series 3-1. Kamloops has three wins in eight regularseason meetings the last two campaigns combined, with one of them coming in overtime. With 117 points, league-leading Portland was 18 points clear of Kamloops in the West standings at the end of the 2012-2013 slate. Winterhawk forward trio Brendan Leipsic, Nicolas Petan and Ty Rattie were one, two and three, respectively, in league scoring. The Hawks’ top-four defencemen — Seth Jones, Troy Rutkoswki, Tyler Wotherspoon and Derrick Pouliot — are elite WHL rearguards with professional-calibre talent. Oddsmakers will have the Rose City squad favoured to win but, if the Blazers are content with just getting here, they certainly aren’t admitting it. “We haven’t been to a conference final in how many years?” Blazer forward JC Lipon asked rhetorically.

“We’re here now and we want to win it.” The answer to Lipon’s question is 1999. What gives Kamloops defenceman Joel Edmundson grounds to believe his team can oust the Hawks and become the first Blazer squad in 14 years to compete in the WHL final? “We’ve beat them once,” he said. “That’s enough. “We definitely believe in here and I know our fans believe in us.” The keys to winning that can be drawn up on a white board, according to Hunchak, are twofold. “The No. 1 focus for us is going to be how well we play defensively against their top three guys,” he said. “Their top three are as dynamic as there is, not only in the Western league, but probably in the CHL. “Secondly, you’ve got to focus on the top four on their back end. They’re very mobile and active in getting involved in the offence. “We have to make them defend as much as we possibly can.” Keeping the dangerous D-core in its own end is a task belonging to the Blazers’ veteran forwards, a group

led this post-season by Lipon, Brendan Ranford, Kale Kessy, Colin Smith, Matt Needham, Cole Ully and captain Dylan Willick. “We’ve just got to finish every check,” Lipon said. “If we keep them in their zone, they’ll get frustrated, like any D-man would.” Kamloops blue liners Edmundson, Tyler Hansen, Sam Grist and Marek Hrbas will be charged with limiting the damage done by the Winterhawks’ explosive forwards. “Their top three lines are top in the league and they prove it with the points they have,” Edmundson said. “They’re a quick group. I think it’s just going to be sticking to the structure that the coaches have laid out for us — moving our feet, matching their speed and playing a solid game.” Cole Cheveldave, who last season missed the Portland series due to a concussion, will backstop the Blazers, with fiery Mac Carruth set to patrol the Hawks’ crease. The injury bug seems to have left the Winterhawks alone this playoffs and the Blazers also look to be healthy heading into Round 3. Tim Bozon is day-

“We definitely believe in here and I know our fans believe in us,” said Joel Edmundson, whose Kamloops Blazers play the hometown Portland Winterhawks in Game 1 of the WHL Western Conference final on Friday, April 19. “I think all the fans were expecting this rematch. Now, it’s our time to shine.” Allen Douglas/KTW

to-day, recovering from a hand injury he sustained in a fight with Brandon Magee of the Victoria Royals in Round 1. He is skating with the team and a source close to the Blazers said it’s “very likely” Bozon will return

for Game 1. Smith, who has recovered from a suspected concussion, will be in the lineup on Friday. Much has been made of Portland’s rallying cry of late, with players going public in their support of head

coach and general manager Mike Johnston, who was barred in November from being with the team for the remainder of the season when the league ruled the Winterhawks violated player-benefit regulations. X See HUNCHAK A22

Hunchak: ‘We’re clearly the underdog in the series’ X From A19

There is no rallying cry, per se, for the Blazers, said Hunchak, but it appears they might seek solidarity in the underdog role. “We play the game for our own reasons and that’s Portland’s backyard and they can cut their own grass however they want,” he said, referring to the Hawks’ outspoken support of Johnston. “From our perspective, they finished 18 points ahead of us. We’re clearly the underdog in the series.” Game 2 will be played in Portland on Saturday, April 20, before the series shifts back to Kamloops for Games 3 and 4, to be played at Interior Savings Centre on Tuesday, April 23, and Wednesday, April 24, respectively.

The Edmonton Oil Kings and Calgary Hitmen start their Eastern Conference final

series tonight (April 18). Lipon, a Regina product, does not want to be caught looking too

far ahead, but it’s his belief the Blazers are a good bet to compete for the Memorial Cup next

month in Saskatoon. “There’s just lots of confidence in this group right now,” he said.

“We just swept Kelowna. We’ve just got to carry that into this series and, hopefully,

win a championship. “And, you know, I kind of want to go back to Saskatoon, so . . .”

NEED YOUR HELP! FOR A DIGNIFIED FUNERAL AND BURIAL

BANNERS UP! Tamika Tallio joins in the applause for her fellow classmates who were honoured at the South Kamloops Titans bannerraising ceremony, held in the JP Gym on Tuesday, April 16. School administration recognized outstanding performances from the 2012-2013 season. South Kamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s provincial champions included Larissa Piva, who won wrestling gold, and the senior girlsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; basketball team, which won the AAA championship. Dave Eagles/KTW

For over 100 years, the Last Post Fund, a non-profit organization, has ensured that no eligible veteran is denied a dignified funeral and burial, as well as a military gravestone, due to insufficient funds at time of death.

Classiﬁed sends Kamloops fans home happy By Tim Petruk STAFF REPORTER tim@kamloopsthisweek.com

It would be generous to call the smoking area at Cactus Jack’s a patio. It is a loading dock with fences. I was standing on it shortly before midnight on Monday, April 15, when something awesome happened. A guy picked up a girl. Not like how you think. He literally picked her up. I don’t think they knew each other. I didn’t notice the pickup at first. It wasn’t until I was kicked in the thigh that I caught on to what was happening. Both of them were in their early 20s. The guy had his hands clasped together and outstretched in front of him, forming a limb

basket on which the girl was sitting. When I got kicked — it was an accident — the girl and I locked eyes. She looked angry at first, then burst into a huge smile. And then she yelled — “Princess, what up?!” That moment typified the atmosphere during a show by Nova Scotian rapper Classified, who was in the Tournament Capital promoting his self-titled album that debuted at No. 1 on Canadian hip-hop charts when it was released in January. The crowd at Cactus Jack’s was remarkably jovial as far as concerts go, especially those of the hip-hop variety. Skirmishes were few and far between and everyone seemed to be there to see the headliner and have a good time.

(Nonetheless, I ended the night with shards of what I assume was a broken beer bottle lodged deep in the soles of my Nikes.) Classified took to the stage just after 11 p.m., flanked by a full band, a DJ and his younger brother, Mic Boyd, fulfilling the hype-man trope. The set touched on some of Classified’s classics — Find Out, Anybody Listening — but also provided concertgoers with a taste of some of the rapper’s new material, including Inner Ninja, which reached the top of MuchMusic’s video charts earlier this year. Classified closed the show with what is probably his bestknown song to casual fans of hip-hop, Oh . . . Canada — a patriotic party track released just prior to the 2010 Olympic Winter Games in Vancouver.

Cariboo tales premiering on Kamloops stage By Tim Petruk STAFF REPORTER tim@kamloopsthisweek.com

F YOU HAPPEN TO FIND YOURSELF AT TONIGHT’S WORLDPREMIERE PERFORmance of Never Shoot a Stampede Queen at the Pavilion Theatre and you see a middleaged man with long hair rising from his seat in a distracting fashion, forgive him. He is Mark Leiren-Young, the award-winning author of the eponymous book from which he adapted the Never Shoot a Stampede Queen script. And he’s very excited about being present for the show’s opening. “I’ll be somewhere,” LeirenYoung told KTW. “Hopefully I’ll be at the back, because I don’t sit very well.” Never Shoot a Stampede Queen is Leiren-Young’s reallife story of his post-university years working as a reporter at the Williams Lake Tribune. The play’s opening line offers some insight into where it’s going. “Where the hell is Williams Lake?”

Leiren-Young was a city boy in 1985 when, at 22, he took the reporter job and drove from the Lower Mainland to the Cariboo. Immediately upon arriving in what would be his new hometown, he happened upon a robbery in progress. “And things never got less strange,” he said. “From the time I arrived to the time I left.” Leiren-Young said his editor came up with a nickname for the intrepid, if not lucky, new reporter — News Magnet. His friends, meanwhile, were fascinated by his tales of life in a place that sounded not unlike the Wild West. “All of my friends said, ‘You’ve got to write these stories down before everybody thinks you’re making it up,’” LeirenYoung said. So, he did and had the collection of 33 tales bound at a local print shop to be sent out as Christmas presents. A few years later, LeirenYoung’s friend suggested he turn the stories into a play. Not one to turn down the advice of his pals, he did that, too.

MARK LEIREN-YOUNG Award-winning author debuting play at Western Canada Theatre

What came of it was a fringe-festival act, which played in Edmonton, Winnipeg and Australia. That was it. That is, until another conversation with another friend a dozen years later. That friend was an author, and he encouraged Leiren-Young to punch up his story — not by fictionalizing it, but by organizing it into a book. “I went home that night and started re-writing everything,” he said.

Vancouver-based actor Ryan Beil plays the one and only character in Never Shoot a Stampede Queen. The play, making its world premiere at the Pavilion Theatre tonight (April 18), tells the real-life story of Mark Leiren-Youngâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s exploits as a reporter in Williams Lake.

â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;I said Kamloops or Prince Georgeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; X From B4

â&#x20AC;&#x153;Next thing I know, this book that Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d completely abandoned for 20 years was in the hands of publishers and everything changed.â&#x20AC;? Never Shoot a Stampede Queen was released in book form in 2009. Later that year, Leiren-Young was awarded the Stephen Leacock Memorial Medal for Humour â&#x20AC;&#x201D; the top prize for Canadian humour writers. Eventually, he was approached by director TJ Dawe about adapting the story to a script. Leiren-Young did it himself and tonight is the night heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll see it performed for real â&#x20AC;&#x201D; in front of a real audience â&#x20AC;&#x201D; for the first time ever. He said it was easy to pick where to debut the show. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I said Kamloops or Prince George,â&#x20AC;? LeirenYoung said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I wanted to open it somewhere where people would know Williams Lake and get the jokes.â&#x20AC;? According to Leiren-Young, the script debuting tonight is even better than the book that was recognized as Canadaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s best humour less than four years ago. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t given these stories this much thought since I wrote them in 1987,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s really amazing to me is saying the book won the Leacock and now I wish I could add to the book.â&#x20AC;? Dawes, who is directing the play, echoed Leiren-Youngâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s sentiment. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Just the other day in rehearsal, Mark said two of the lines we added in the last couple days were two of his favourite lines from the show,â&#x20AC;? he said. Vancouver-based actor Ryan Beil, who portrays Leiren-Young in the one-man show, said he has enjoyed working so closely with the reporter-

HOME & GARDEN

Make the most of that small space outside You don’t need to have a huge backyard or even be an expert gardener to enjoy a green oasis or fresh produce this summer. According to Mark Cullen, Home Hardware’s gardening expert, even those with limited space have the opportunity to enjoy the outdoors by fol-

lowing a few simple tips:

Create your ideal oasis: The best way to maximize your small space is to determine how you would like to spend most of your time outdoors — be it entertaining, playing

with the kids, relaxing or gardening. Your answer will determine the layout and will help you prioritize which elements to incorporate. Great features for small spaces include folding or stackable patio furniture to maximize the area, solar lighting for ambiance

and a trellis for natural privacy and a sound barrier.

Vertical gardening: Vertical gardening is a great way to maximize space. Plant stands and hanging planters are useful for not only freeing up ground area, but they also provide an eye-catching decorative element to your garden and minimize weeds. Planters can be

used for vegetables and herbs — and, if you would like an additional spacesaving solution, take a look at the Mark’s Choice Hanging Tomato Planter. It is true that 90 per cent of the success of plant health is the result of soil nutrition. It is therefore worthwhile to invest in a high-quality soil mix specially formulated for use in containers to maximize

plant growth.

Water: Plants that are not rooted directly in the ground and are exposed to direct sun and wind usually need water more often. Invest in the SelfWatering Patio Planter. Designed for growing plants in tight spaces, this planter will ensure your plants remain hydrated even when you are away. Another space-

TRAVEL

“C’mon, you can do it,” my husband coaxes. “If Evelyn Berens could summit Mt. Sir Donald in 1901, you can get to one of these 400 glaciers.” After driving the Trans-Canada Highway’s 16 scenic kilometres from Revelstoke, we’re heading out on our first hike at Glacier National, an outdoor oasis that’s aptly named. And flanking the trail are placards revealing its legendary roots. From 1887 to 1925, Glacier House, a posh ninety-room retreat was operated here by the Canadian Pacific Railway. Wealthy mountaineers would come from around the world and, after riding the rails, would revel in the amenities — billiards, bowling, buffets and glacial remains, just hiking steps away. Berens, the first female to top one of the rugged peaks, is portrayed in this historical photo shoot. And though her Victorian lace-ups were no contender to my High-Tec footgear, she sure had cushier accommodations. Not that I’m complaining. Once again, thanks to campingrvbc. com, we’ve been able to pre-plan our campsite and our roving home now nestles beneath the trees at nearby Illecillewaet campground. Ten of the park’s 20 trails begin at this base camp and lead to spectacular ridges, vistas and glaciers. “Let’s try Great Glacier trail,” I suggest to my mountain man. It’s a moderate 3.5-hour jaunt with an easy elevation gain of 321 metres. Even with my aging quads, I should be able to get to this ice field. Initially, the centuryold path is a breeze. After bridging a roaring creek, we’re canopied by spruce and hemlock. Omnipresent peaks are soon visible — some with jagged tops, others with snowy remains. After veering around mammoth boulders, the

inevitable uphill begins and, within a half-dozen switchbacks, my heart rate is turbocharged. But, the climb is short and comes with visual rewards. Waterfalls cascade from rugged crests, shadows reflect from creased mountainsides and Illecillewaet Glacier shimmers in the backdrop. “Back in Berens’ day, this ice-cloaked spectacle was reached in a lot less time,” I say, realizing there’s more uphill grunting in store. “Since then, it’s receded more than a kilometer and just keeps getting further away.” Our trail is abruptly interrupted by a stream; however, trekking to the glacier base can be achieved with some fancy footwork. “There’s just a bit of scrambling,” Brent says with encouragement. “And it’s only slippery when wet.” Although it’s reassuring to hear my mate has confidence in my mountaineering skills, I’m skeptical about the glistening boulders that now replace my solid footpath. I watch two German hikers precede us and am

SIGHTS AND SUMMITS BY JANE CASSIE • TRAVELWRITERSTALES.COM pretty sure they have suction cups embedded in their hiking boots. And, though they’ll likely reach the ice field in short order, I’m quite content to see this spectacle from afar. “There are nine other ways to glacier gaze from this campground,” Brent says with hope the next morning. “Let’s go for more gusto on Glacier Crest Trail.” In spite of the lowlying cloud, my hubby and eager pup are keen to climb. And, like yesterday’s trail, initially it’s a cinch — until we cross a bridge where the uphill begins. Razor-sharp switchbacks carve into the mountainside and slice through moss-loving flora. Spiny ferns, bushy thimbleberries and thorny Devil’s Club hide in the shade of mature evergreens. “This is a rare noncoastal hemlock forest,” Brent says while posing next to an enormous tree. “For survival, they need lots of water!” It’s as if his words curse the weather, for a few minutes later, raindrops spill from the swollen clouds. Fortunately, our green

canopy doubles as a natural raincoat. Before long, we’ve left the river and, far below, the silvery ribbon of Roger’s Pass hugs up to our mini-size campground. “It’ll be a welcome sight after this 3,000-foot ascension,” Brent say as we slowly head upwards over rugged roots and rocks.

Finally, we break out into the sub-alpine, where panoramas abound. After cresting a craggy ridge ,we get glimpses of the final reward. Under bluebird skies it would be magnificent but, today, the virgin-white snowfields play hide and seek with billowy clouds.

“We could wait and see if it lifts,” I suggest, a longer rest break being an ulterior motive. “Inclement weather can move in quickly,” Brent warns, “We’d better head back.” When we’re half-way

down, the cloudy veil begins to lift and, by the time our campfire is lit, starlit skies are putting on a show. “Looks like it’ll be clear tomorrow,” Brent says. “And another great day for glacier gazing.”

T’S BIRDING HOUR. Twice a day, morning and evening, ever since spring arrived, the songbirds in the neighbourhood gather at our backyard songbird cafe (aka birdfeeder) and make sweet little swine of themselves. There are the finches who neatly pick out seeds they like best. Then there are the sparrows and chickadees who swish everything to the ground in their search for just one variety. And, of course, they are joined by various temporary visitors who send us paging through our Birds of Canada book seeking signs of who they might be. On the ground, California quail scratch and peck for whatever’s been tossed overboard. Doves peck daintily at seed along the fence rail. And, the occasional robin drops by to see what the vegetar-

ians are fussing about. Sometimes, too, an unclever worm worms its way to the surface, and then even the robin finds something on the menu to like. In fact, our birdseed cafe has been such a success that we decided to open a sister cafe — down-garden from the first. We hung a little log with bore holes drilled here and there (a feature which set the little log’s price a great deal higher than had we simply found a dead stick on our own). Into the holes we stuffed plugs of suet, and from a garden crook we hung the log. Then, we withdrew inside to watch. Nuthatches came first, followed by a magpie who’s greedy bulk threatened to bring down the crook while providing a riot of entertainment for two housecats who could hardly believe

Using a food processor, pulse sunflower and pumpkin seeds into a coarse meal. In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, combine all seeds, flour, salt, honey and oil. Add water and mix on low until dough is a firm ball. Lightly flour a work surface and knead the dough for about 30 seconds. Dough should be tacky but not sticky. If sticky, knead in a little more flour. Line three baking sheets with parchment. Divide dough into three balls. Dust surface with a little flour to prevent dough from sticking. Roll out one ball at a time until just less than 1/8 of an inch (the thinner, the crispier). Keep the dough moving a little as you roll. If it sticks, dust underneath with a little more flour. Cut rolled dough into squares or shape of your choosing. Transfer onto baking sheet, placing close together (crackers do not spread much). Repeat with remaining balls of dough. Bake 10 minutes at 300 F. Rotate and bake another 10 minutes. Rotate once more and bake five to 10 minutes. (You can bake more than one tray at a time.) Crackers are done when golden brown, dry and crispy. Remove from oven. Cool on pans. Store in Ziploc bags at room temperature for up to one week.

CUISINE

Oatmeal for nutrition, comfort and taste binations, the favourite has to be my peanut butter banana and almond milk oatmeal. Not only are banana and almond milk nutritious but they also add great flavour. The peanut butter provides protein for muscle repair post-workout. The Analyze Your Food feature of eaTracker, an easy-to-use tool by Dietitians of Canada to track food and physical activity, told me I was getting generous amounts of calcium, fibre, vitamin A, and B-vitamins from this meal. With oats being a whole grain option for the 6-8 servings of grain products recommended by Canada’s Food Guide, it provides digestive benefits due to its fibre content.

Having breakfast helps with weight maintenance as it kick starts your metabolism after a night of fasting. It will also help keep your energy levels up throughout the day. Like all meals, breakfast is an opportunity to squeeze in nutrients our body needs. The above reasons make breakfast the most important meal of the day. I enjoy starting my days with a morning workout. Expending the extra energy makes a balanced breakfast afterwards even more important in order to refuel. From trials of various food com-

FAITH

The mystery of the ﬁsh as it relates to Jesus

VER wonder why some people have fish symbols stuck to the back of their car? The fish is the earliest Christian symbol, which actually pre-dates the cross (adopted in the year 431 as the official symbol of Christianity). The Greek word for fish is ichthys (and where we get our word ichthyologist — fish scientist). The letters of the word ichthys are an acronym standing for Jesus Christ, God’s Son, Savior. The first letter is iota, standing for Iesous (the Greek form of Jesus). Other languages also start the name Jesus with an “I,” such as Arabic (Issa). The second letter of ichthys is chi, representing Khristos (Christ, literally the anointed one, or Messiah in Hebrew).

CHRIS KEMPLING You Gotta Have FAITH The Greek word for God’s, Theou, is represented by the letter theta. The fourth letter is ypsilon and stands for the Greek word for son, huios. Finally, the word soter is the Greek word for savior, represented by the letter sigma. An early legend from the days when Christians were persecuted by Roman emperors says that when strangers met on the road, one would draw a single arc in the dirt with his foot.

If the other person drew a second arc completing the fish shape, they both knew it was safe to talk about their faith. Obviously, if the second person wasn’t a Christian, the line in the dirt was just that. It’s an interesting story, but one that has never been verified. St. Augustine also wrote of the significance of the ichthys symbol, noting there are 27 letters in the expanded acronym — three times three times three. Of course, with three as the number of the trinity, three tripled signified great power. Fish play an important role in the story of Jesus and his earthly ministry. Four of his disciples (Simon Peter, his brother Andrew and the sons of Zebedee, James and John), were all Galilean fisherman. Jesus famous-

ly said to Peter and Andrew: “Follow me and I will make you fishers of men.” In the miraculous feeding of 5,000 people, Jesus took a little boy’s lunch (five loaves and two fishes) and provided a feast to those who had gathered to hear him preach. Later, he did the same miracle for 4,000 people with seven loaves and a few fish. Fish have a miraculous role in another story. The poll-tax collectors confronted Peter and asked if his teacher was going to pay the hated head tax imposed by the Romans. When Peter asked Jesus, he responded that they ought to be exempt but, “lest we give them offence, go the sea and throw in a hook and take the first fish that comes up; and ,when you open its mouth, you will find

a stater. Take that and give it to them for you and me.” A stater was a Greek coin also called a tetradrachm (four drachma) and would have been enough to pay the tax for Peter and Jesus. The place where there were confronted by the tax collectors was Capernaum on the Sea of Galilee. The type of fish common there (and still caught commercially today) is tilapia, also called St. Peter’s fish. Tilapia are known to pick up small stones or bottle caps (anything shiny) and hold them in their mouths. It’s quite possible the fish Peter caught scooped up a lost tetradrachm. When Jesus was confronted by the Pharisees, demanding a miracle, he responded that the only miracle they were going

to see was the “sign of Jonah.” “For as Jonah was three days and three nights in the belly of a huge fish, so the Son of Man will be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth.” Essentially, Jesus was comparing his death, descent to hell and resurrection on the third day with the story of Jonah, swallowed by a “huge fish” (likely a whale shark, which swims with its enormous mouth open, gathering food).

After his resurrection, Jesus appeared to his incredulous disciples, some of whom thought he was a ghost. To prove he wasn’t, he said, “’Do you have anything here to eat?’ They gave him a piece of broiled fish and he took it and ate it in their presence. Fish play an important role in the story of Jesus. Those who display a fish on their cars are saying two things: “I believe in I.ch.th.y.s.” and “I’m one who was caught.”
