City will review councillor salary By Andrea Klassen STAFF REPORTER andrea@kamloopsthisweek.com

MAMA MIA! Mother’s Day is this weekend.We check in on Geraldine James, who gave birth in Kamloops to David Junior, her ﬁrst baby and the ﬁrst child born in B.C. this year By Cavelle Layes STAFF REPORTER reporter@kamloopsthisweek.com

British Columbia’s first new mommy of 2013 is looking forward to celebrating Mother’s Day this year for a number of reasons. The days after David Junior Ricky Joe James was born in Kamloops, Geraldine James was met with a media frenzy befitting someone of celebrity status. That is because little David Junior just happened to be the first baby born this year in British Columbia. After the dust settled from baby’s early media exposure, Geraldine has spent the last five months experiencing motherhood at its finest and, at times, its toughest moments.

David Junior is the first child of Geraldine and David James — and they admit they weren’t sure what to expect, especially when the time came to take their baby home to Merritt. “It was a bit overwhelming because I wasn’t sure how things were going to be,” Geraldine said. “Every day I learn something new as to how to look after him and what he needs.” While Geraldine said she did a lot of on-her-feet learning, she was also able to get plenty of advice from her mother and grandmother.

‘My whole life is now based around him. Whatever we do as a family reflects his needs.’ — Geraldine James

Becoming a new mother took some adjusting, she said, especially with the early morning wake-up calls. “We have been lucky to have a really good baby boy, though,” Geraldine said. She advises other new moms to not be afraid to ask questions, whether they are directed to family, friends, doctors or nurses. “As a new mom, it is a whole new experience,” she said. “I always felt like I was not sure what to do. I asked my family and friends questions and I even looked online.” David Junior is now beginning to have a more active baby babble and is laughing at little things, Geraldine said.

Kamloops councillors are commissioning a report on how their pay stacks up to that of their peers in other B.C. municipalities, but many at the table are not comfortable with giving themselves or a future council a raise. The motion for a report, which passed this week by a close 5-4 vote, came from Coun. Nancy Bepple. Bepple said at private companies for which she has worked, wages are reviewed every three or four years, opining city council is overdue. “Getting information about salaries is a normal business practice,” she said, arguing that getting the report won’t necessarily lead to a debate about a wage increase. “We’re presupposing we would put our compensation level up.” According to KTW’s own wage survey, published on May 6, council’s $25,000 annual paycheque is lower than that of most comparable communities by about $6,000. The city study will also look at a few other measures, such as benefits — which Kamloops councillors don’t receive under the current system, though Mayor Peter Milobar does. Kamloops council hasn’t had a formal salary review since 2002, when council of the day agreed its wages would increase each year based on the Vancouver Consumer Price Index. Coun. Pat Wallace, who voted against Bepple’s motion, said she would prefer to see discussion of wage hikes become part of the 2014 election. That didn’t sit well with other councillors. Coun. Nelly Dever said asking candidates who have never served on council to set their own pay rate doesn’t make sense. Dever, who voted in favour of the motion, said council should set a new policy so the next group at city hall isn’t left dealing with the issue.

“Nobody wants to talk about remuneration, benefits, nothing, but I’m sorry to tell you it’s there. It’s part of our job,” she said. “It’s time to suck it up and do it and quit passing it off to someone else.” “I think there are way more important issues that should come up in an election than whether a city councillor gets medical benefits,” said Coun. Tina Lange, who supported the motion. Lange said the job of being a councillor has changed in 12 years — an argument Bepple has also made — and it makes sense for council to re-examine compensation. She said the low pay and lack of benefits could shut some good candidates out of the race for council. “Am I the best we can get?” she asked. Coun. Marg Spina also said the pay rate might deter young people and others with less stable finances, from running. But, she voted against the motion because it could lead to a salary hike. “My conscience would have me vote against it because I ran on a platform of keeping costs down,” she said. Coun. Ken Christian said a report was unnecessary, since he already knows he would vote against a wage hike for council regardless of how Kamloops stacks up. “We all went through gnarling our teeth over a budget process,” he said. After agreeing to a tax increase much of council found unpalatable, Christian said, “the optics of the thing look really poor.” Milobar also questioned the usefulness of a wage report, since KTW and others have already published salary figures for most of the municipalities from which staff will seek comparisons. “If you want to discuss remuneration or benefits or things like that, just have the conversation,” he said before voting against Bepple’s motion. Councillors Arjun Singh and Donovan Cavers also voted in favour of Bepple’s motion.

THIS WEEK

Target arrival a boon to Sahali Mall By Dale Bass STAFF REPORTER dale@kamloopsthisweek.com

The staff at Fox N’ Hounds was caught off guard. The lunch crowd was a lot bigger than what normally walks through the door — courtesy of the first day of sales on Tuesday, May 7, at the new Target store just feet from at the long-time pub at Sahali Mall. “This is pretty exciting,” said Al Deacon, owner of the pub and nearby liquor store. “This is positive for ourselves, our mall and the city.” Deacon said he’s seen a lot in the more than three decades his business has been there, through the good times when Walmart was the anchor, the slow times when the American chain moved to its current location, more good times when Zellers arrived and, more recently, when new landlords took over about five years ago.

“They’ve been very patient,” Deacon said. “They’ve been holding off and waiting it out and it hasn’t been all that healthy. “But, now, this is great.” The parking lot at Sahali Mall has been full of vehicles all day and night this week as shoppers get a taste of Kamloops’ newest retailer. Into Tuesday night, parking spots fronting Columbia Street, stalls that had long been empty, were filled with vehicles as people filled the store. Target announced in January 2011 that it was buying from Hudson’s Bay Company most Zellers leases in Canada in a $1.8-billion deal. Some Zellers outlets were closed, while others have become new Target homes. The Kamloops store, one of 124 expected to open across Canada by the end of the year, will be open Mondays to Saturdays from 8 a.m.

to 10 p.m. and Sundays from 8 a.m. to 9 p.m. The Kamloops opening was one of 22 this week across

Western Canada, while 24 have already opened in Ontario. The local store has a pharmacy and

Starbucks outlet. Deacon said he expects the quality of merchants will be affected by the new

anchor and has heard rumours of other large chains “sniffing around, looking for space.”

“It’s the same as Walmart, with higher prices and more hype. Unfortunately, Target decided against under-pricing and actually (in some cases) priced higher on items.” — Dustin Fuhs “I walked through, but didn’t buy anything. Same stuff, different name!” — Dianne Noble

Alcohol, speed cited in crash that killed two By Cavelle Layes STAFF REPORTER reporter@kamloopsthisweek.com

Police say speed and alcohol were factors in a fiery head-on collision just west of Chase on Monday, May 6, that killed two men and injured two others. An eastbound pickup truck collided with a westbound semi-truck at about 9:30 p.m. at Hoffman’s Bluff, an accident-prone, winding section of Highway 1. Rescue workers from Chase, Pritchard and Kamloops were called to the scene to find the semi completely engulfed in flames. Police believe tthe pickup crossed the centre line into the westbound lane before colliding with a semi, with the collision setting both vehicles on fire. The semi driver was able to walk away from the accident and was sent to Salmon Arm Hospital to get treatment for a broken leg. According to RCMP Const. Lesley Smith, the driver of the pickup was believed to have been impaired at the time of the accident. The driver and a passenger in the pickup died in the fire. A third passenger told police he walked to the nearest hospital. His injuries are believed to be minor. Passersby who aided in the rescue of the surviving pickup-truck passenger said all three people in the vehicle were from Chase and in their early 20s. This

information has not yet been confirmed by police. Flames could be seen about eight kilometres from the scene of the crash and a thick smoke filled the air. Pritchard fire crews were able to extinguish the flames by about 11 p.m., but the semi sustained major damage, leaving it a barely recognizable charred mess. Half of the butter-carrying trailer that was being hauled by the semi is now missing. Traffic was closed in both directions for about six hours, changing to singlelane alternating traffic early Tuesday morning (May 7). Remnants of the semi were still blocking the eastbound lane at 8:30 a.m. on Tuesday. A steady lineup of people could be seen on the back roads of Pritchard, across the lake, attempting to make their way around the accident. The B.C. Coroners Service is investigating. While this accident is believed to have been caused by alcohol and speed, the area known as Hoffman’s Bluff is notorious for accidents, with an average of 113 accidents occurring per year in the stretch of highway between Monte Creek and Salmon Arm. While highway upgrades are in the works for the stretch of road leading to Hoffman’s Bluff, the area itself is not scheduled to receive any at this time.

A pickup truck collided head-on with a semi-truck on Highway 1 west of Chase on Monday, May 6. Two men died and two men were injured. Go online to kamloopsthisweek.com to view video. Cavelle Layes/KTW

Police seek info on skateboard attack

Kamloops RCMP continue to look for the public’s help with the investigation into an altercation that left Michael Forry in a coma in Royal Inland Hospital. A previous request for assistance prompted a letter to police from

someone named Jason Flemming and information that his cousin and wife witnessed the events at the 7-Eleven store in the 1700-block of Tranquille Road on March 24. The letter said Flemming is from North Vancouver, but

attempts to locate him have failed. Forry, 46, was hit in the head by a youth and remains in RIH. He is no longer in a coma, but doctors have told his family he will require extensive therapy, with no guarantee of the outcome.

City council not impressed with letter from Ajax By Andrea Klassen STAFF REPORTER andrea@kamloopsthisweek.com

The company behind the proposed Ajax copper and gold mine was hoping a letter containing answers to a few of Kamloops city council’s questions about the project would provide some satisfaction. Instead, a few city councillors had tough words for the letter — which arrived about two years after council first posed its questions. “Worse than useless,” was how Coun. Donovan Cavers summed it up. “Shallow,” was Coun. Ken Christian’s pronouncement. While the letter leaves unanswered most of council’s questions about air, dust and health impacts related to Ajax, it does provide some information on the copper-and-gold mine’s potential effects on river flows, traffic and blasting. However, Coun. Tina Lange questioned what was actually meant by Ajax’s response to a question about how far away blasting at the mine would be felt. In the letter, KGHM Ajax said “the human perception level of one millimeter/second is modelled at a distance of four kilometres from the edge of the pit.” Lange asked sustainability and environmental services manager Jen Fretz — who typically runs point on the mine for the city — if she could put that into plainer English. Fretz said she wasn’t sure what it meant, either. Cavers said city staff should be provided with the raw data Ajax used to the draw conclusions in its letter. “I’m not comfortable with accepting their assessments of whether there is an impact or not,” he said. “Obviously, they’re quite a biased source.” Coun. Nelly Dever said the city should also

ask for data on health impacts of KGHM’s other mines, which already operate near communities. Fretz said that may be a difficult question to get answered. “They’ve been very reluctant to give that information because, according to information we’ve received before, all mines are very different,” she said. Dever called that a “poor excuse. “Whenever we ask

a question and their backs are up against the wall, they use the reasons that they’ve done this with other mines,” she said. Coun. Pat Wallace suggested council also ask KGHM if it has any data about health complaints made while the old Afton mine, which used to operate on the site, was active. Coun. Nancy Bepple once again sat out of the Ajax discussion, due to the fact she owns mining shares.

How well do we know our Tournament Capital neighbours?

lmost 14 years in this city has, apparently, given me no idea about who lives here. Sure, I know a lot of you but, according to an interactive quiz published by the Globe and Mail this week, I know nothing at all about those of us who call this place home. The seven-question quiz was derived from the latest data from Statistics Canada, which included much more information. Here goes with the questions and correct answers: • Besides English and French, what is the most common language spoken in the home? The choices were Chinese, Spanish and German. I chose Chinese. Wrong. According to the data, it’s German in Kamloops although, nationally, Chinese is the most common nonofficial language spoken. Apparently, 1,340 Kamloopsians speak German when they go home. • What percentage of Kamloops population are immigrants? The choices were 9.45 per cent, 13.91 per cent and 4.98 per cent. I chose 13.91 per cent. Wrong. The correct answer is 9.45 per cent, with a reported 7,830 immigrants living in the city. Between 2006 and 2011, 940 moved here. • What’s the most common place of birth for immigrants who live in Kamloops? The choices were Eastern Asia, Southern Europe and the United Kingdom. I chose Eastern Asia (although, looking back on it, I should have real-

DALE BASS Street

LEVEL ized this was wrong, given German is the most common non-official language spoken). Wrong. The correct answer is the United Kingdom, which has sent 1,740 people across the ocean to Kamloops. (Let me interject here, however, to note national statistics show the Philippines as the country from which came the most immigrants to Canada, a fact not backed up by statistics from the federal immigration board. And, yes, StatsCan acknowledges there might be a problem with its information. More on that a bit farther along.) • Many Canadians identify with the ethnic or cultural origins of their ancestors. What’s the most common ethnic origin in Kamloops (besides Canada)? Choices are English, Indian and Chinese. Another side note: These stats do not include the Tk’emlups Indian Band population. I chose Indian because I’m apparently a slow learner. Wrong. Since England sent most of the immigrants, the majority of us claim an English heritage. • What is the most common group of visible minorities in Kamloops? The choices are Chinese, South

Asian and black. I got this one right by choosing South Asian. The statistics report 1,970 living in Kamloops. • What is the most common religion in Kamloops? Choices here were Muslim, Catholic and no affiliation. Again, I should have figured this one out because, if we’re so populated with the Brits, who have a High Anglican background and that choice isn’t one of them, the obvious answer is no religion. I chose Catholic. Wrong. I missed the obvious — no religion. • What percentage of Kamloops’ population identifies as aboriginal? The options were 7.46 per cent, zero per cent and 10.17 per cent. Got that one wrong too when I chose 10.17 per cent. The right answer is 7.46 per cent. The lesson here? Maybe it’s that I don’t know my neighbours, my neighbourhood, my friends or community all that well. Or maybe it’s simply that the federal government, under directions from Prime Minister Stephen Harper, did away with the mandatory long-form census and replaced it with a voluntary survey. A StatsCan official said the mandatory long-form census saw about a six per cent non-return; about 30 per cent of Canadians who received the survey didn’t bother to fill it out. And this is how our government decides on laws and assorted legislation. Survey says . . . dale@kamloopsthisweek.com

It is amusing, really. But, on the other hand, it is an indication Kamloops is open for business. Target, the American retail giant, announced on Monday, May 6, that it would open its Sahali Mall store the next day. While Kamloops’ media duly reported on the development online, on air and in the newspapers the following day, Target’s opening positively burned up social-media circles, with Facebook and Twitter filled with references to the Tuesday event. Sahali Mall’s parking lot, whose empty spaces have long outnumbered those occupied by steel and rubber, was, suddenly full — and it remained jampacked from morning to night and into the next day. Kamloops is not a big city, but it is not a small town — yet the opening of a store can become an event in its own, a fact that speaks to the city’s endearing small-town character. Yes, it can be corny to see the masses flocking to Target on a hot night. But, it’s also comforting to know we have not succumbed to sophistication. Target’s arrival is good news to Sahali Mall and good news to the economy of Kamloops. Its addition to the city’s business landscape has been and continues to be complemented by a diverse mix of businesses that have added Kamloops to their roster. Mr. Mike’s is returning to the city and will soon open at Summit Drive and Columbia Street. Menchie’s the popular frozenyogurt chain, will soon open two locations — in North Kamloops and in Sahali. And there is no doubt much more on the way. Don’t be surprised if each becomes a Target-like event.

Re: Story: Rugby Raiders ﬂy provincial banner:

Angels of Mercy abound at Royal Inland Hospital Editor: On April 20, I had to go to the emergency room at Royal Inland Hospital. I was in trouble and needed help. From the moment I arrived and registered, I was treated with respect and dignity. In about an hour, I was seen by the doctor on duty, who diagnosed me and got the wheels in motion. Everything was done with great efficiency and concern for my well-being. The CT scan revealed I had a problem in my lower back. The emergency doctor (I don’t remember his name, but I will never forget his face) referred me

to Dr. Chevalier, the neurosurgeon who happened to be in the operating room performing surgery. Dr. Chevalier came in to speak to my wife and me and explained what the problem was and what had to be done. I needed surgery as soon as possible. He was willing to do this after working in the operating room all day. This man went beyond the call of duty and performed surgery on my back from 8 p.m. to 11 p.m. that night. In recovery, I was surrounded by nurses — angels of mercy — who looked after me. I think we watched the twirling fans

and the bright-light show together — at least I told them about it. Then it was off to 6 North, where more angels of mercy looked after me until I was discharged. Now, I know all these people who helped me will say they were just doing their jobs, but I know better. God had all these angels of mercy, along with their special gifts, in place just for me — and I will be eternally grateful to all of them. Thank you, thank you, to all the angels of mercy who work at RIH. Alf Kiesman Kamloops

Let’s enact term limits at all levels of government Editor: Re: Christopher Foulds’ column of May 7 (‘Never mind the salaries, how about term limits?’): I agree with Foulds 100 per cent about city council not being a career choice.

There should be term limits, of course, but I would like to take it one or two steps further and say there should be term limits on all politicians — civic, provincial and federal. There should be no such thing as a career politician.

Term limits would encourage job creation because these career politicians would have to find a job after feeding at the public trough for their allotted two terms. The BC Rail scandal and other corrupt shenanigans

would never have time to arise. Elections might draw out voters if we had someone to vote for who wasn’t already in office for a long time.

Aberdeen Mall has new owners By Dale Bass STAFF REPORTER dale@kamloopsthisweek.com

Aberdeen Mall has new owners, courtesy of a successful takeover of the company that had previously owned it. Earlier this year, Primaris Retail Real Estate Investment Trust was targeted by H&R Real Estate Investment

Trust and KingSett Capital, representing a conglomerate of investors, including the Ontario Pension Board and RioCan. Along with the eventually successful deal was a $2.7-billion portfolio of properties owned by Primaris, including the Kamloops mall, which is 32 years

old and spans 460,000 square feet. Investment experts who watched as the takeover unfolded over several months estimated its eventual cost to be about $4.6 billion. Randy Ferguson of

20 VIC Management in Toronto, which now oversees Aberdeen Mall’s operations, said a study will begin soon on the property and any changes to the mall’s direction will flow from that.

COSCO is calling for universal home care and home support services, based on need, available seven days a week to seniors and people with disabilities. Such a service would allow thousands of seniors to live with dignity and respect in their own homes, close to families and friends. It would cost much less than acute or residential care. It would strengthen our overall public health care system by reducing the pressure on acute care hospitals. As a matter of both human decency and common sense economics, providing universal home support so people can remain in their own homes must be a priority for the next government of our province.

City won’t ease up on parking enforcement By Andrea Klassen STAFF REPORTER andrea@kamloopsthisweek.com

City staff are looking to improve communication about parking at major events on McArthur Island — but they are not apologizing for handing out a bevy of tickets to people who parked illegally during the Kamloops Gun and Antique Show two weeks ago. Parks, recreation and cultural services director Byron McCorkell said when parking spaces filled up on the island on the April 27 weekend, some intrepid motorists parked on the grass or along yellow-painted curbs where parking is prohibited. McCorkell said that may have given other motorists a false impression the city had waived the rules for the weekend — but it wasn’t the case. “When people decide they’re

going to break the rules and the next person thinks that, oh, the rules are not on, you get a problem and the only resolve is to ticket,” McCorkell said. Event organizers did have overflow parking for the event at nearby NorKam secondary, McCorkell said, and many other gun-show attendees made like community safety manager Jon Wilson and walked a few blocks to the event after parking on the MacKenzie Avenue outside the park. “People can’t park up on the grassy areas,” Wilson said. “They have to park where they’re legally allowed to park. “They expect that because they can’t find parking, they can just park wherever they want to — and that’s where problems get created.” Wilson said parking illegally can damage city property — grass and plants at McArthur Island — and prevent emer-

gency vehicles from getting into the park when needed. “I understand some people were upset they got parking tickets, but I don’t know of any city where you can just go and park up on grass berms, or you can double-park, or you can block fire accesses and not expect to get tickets,” he said. McCorkell said the city will work with event planners to provide better communication on the island about where to go for overflow parking and where parking is not permitted. The city will also have up to 250 more stalls in the park next spring when the BMX track at McArthur relocates to Ord Road. Beyond that, though, McCorkell said there’s little room to add more spaces at the park. For large events, he said, “people are going to have to walk.”

Police have said Gordon was a resident of the building, which had been divided into three suites. Two others in the house at the time of the blaze escaped unharmed. Gordon was arrested shortly after the fire was reported. Kamloops RCMP have said William and Gordon were not associated, although it is likely they had met in the past. Direct damage was limited to the suite, although some of the roof was also scorched. The two other units had smoke and water damage.

Gordon in court today for a bail hearing David Peter Gordon is expected in provincial court today (May 9) for a bail hearing. Gordon, 32, faces two charges — manslaughter and arson in relation to an inhabited property. The charges stem from a fire in the rear suite of a house at 927 St. Paul St. on April 25. Cheryl William, 44, an occupant of the house, was found in the home, unconscious, and taken to Royal Inland Hospital, where she died four days later after being on life support. William had been a cook at the Sk’lep School of Excellence.

MORTGAGE MATTERS UNIQUE MORTGAGE PRODUCTS THAT FIT YOU AND YOUR LIFESTYLE In today’s competitive lending environment, banks are fighting for your business. The result? Many lending institutions are lowering interest rates like never before and are creating specialized niche products. Here are a few examples: 10 year mortgages – Looking for payment security over the long term? The 10 year mortgage is for people who find comfort in stable financial payments and want to limit their risk to potential high interest rates over the next decade. Flex down payment mortgages – Having trouble raising enough money for a down payment? The flex down mortgage offers buyers the chance to use borrowed money to buy a home. The bank expects the borrower to have good credit and good employment to qualify. This type of product may allow you to buy now and stop paying high rents. 5% cash back mortgages – Can’t afford that truck payment plus a mortgage? If you have a down payment, but can’t afford to use it for both bill reduction and buying a home, then the cash back mortgage is an option. You can use the 5% for anything you want – home renovations, pay off bills, add to savings. Purchase plus improvements – Can’t find anything in your price range you like? The purchase plus improvements mortgage allows you to increase your mortgage by up to 20% of your purchase price to renovate your home. This way, you can buy a less expensive home and renovate it the way you want – all included in your mortgage. This program does not cover pools and hot tubs, but roofs, walls, kitchens, bathrooms are fine. Purchase plus improvement mortgages are available at very competitive rates. Equity Mortgages – Has the bank said “no” because of your income, but you have strong equity in your home? There are lenders who will take into account the equity you have built up in your home and lend on that instead of income. 50% (50% ownership) and 65% (35% ownership) loan to value percentages are often acceptable to lenders. The lender will always ask for an appraisal and will expect the borrower to have excellent credit. Whether you are a first-time homebuyer, up for renewal or refinancing, there are many unique and competitive products available on the market today. For more information about qualifying for a mortgage or if you have questions about your specific situation, please call 250 682 6077 or e-mail steve.bucher@migroup.ca or check out my website at www.mortgagebuilder.ca

The HEAT is on for ﬁreﬁghters By Dale Bass STAFF REPORTER dale@kamloopsthisweek.com

The tanker flies overhead and, suddenly, a wide spray of red comes out and drops to the ground. A forest fire is being fought somewhere. It’s a common sight in the Kamloops area every year — and another season of dryness igniting and hectares burning has already begun. While those Convair 580 air tankers, helicopters and Turbo Commander bird dog are easily recognizable images connected to the annual wildfire season, the reality is it’s the men and women on the ground who will get those blazes under control, said Kevin Skrepnek, a provincial fire-information officer. The red retardant the aircraft drop is used to help contain the fires, he said, while up in the bird-dog aircraft is the person who is controlling the battle for everyone involved. “The real hard work is done by men and women on their hands and knees, digging, moving, getting the fire under control,” Skrepnek said. For 221 of them, that will be their job in the Kamloops Fire Centre from now until fall. Some of them are new recruits who just finished their training in Chilliwack, a

week of instruction in class and an in-thefield, put-the-skills-to-the-test fire. Since April 1, the Kamloops Fire Centre has dealt with 30 fires, down from the average 44 at this point of the year, but more hectares have been consumed — 316 compared to the average 223 — due to a wildfire at Spatsum Creek, about 10 kilometres south of Ashcroft, that started on April 27 and continued to burn into this week. As of Tuesday, May 7, that blaze had grown to 240 hectares. Fighting fires in the Kamloops region — the city is also home to the provincial wildfire centre – involves 27 three-person initial-attack crews, seven 20-person sustained-action crews and dozens of others in the office at the far end of Kamloops Airport. There, they dispatch, analyze, collate and keep the work proceeding, said fireinformation officer Kayla Pepper.

There are some factors that are predictable every season, she said; some areas that are always drier than the rest and susceptible to that campfire that wasn’t put out properly or the cigarette butt idly tossed aside. Helping is the fire-danger rating, a changing scale of “maybe” to “likely” to “it’s going to happen” rankings on the chance of a fire. The rating is the result of weather stations — 200 across the province and more than 40 in the Kamloops Fire Centre — that register temperature, wind speed, humidity and precipitation on a daily basis. That information flows into the computers and “a very subjective” rating is produced, Skrepnek said. “It’s not a bureaucrat making this decision,” he said. For the provincial centre, attention is paid to areas farther afield, where the likelihood of a fire is growing and tankers will be pre-positioned near there, he said. Once a fire is reported, the bird-dog plane takes off with an air-attack officer on board, the eyes in the sky who will guide other planes and firefighters on the ground. “It’s all pretty intense,” Skrepnek said. “And these guys have been busy right off the bat.”

Life-saving match game By Cavelle Layes STAFF REPORTER reporter@kamloopsthisweek.com

Four very different Kamloops residents gathered at Royal Inland Hospital on Wednesday, May 8, to take part in a provincewide day of appreciation arranged by the BC Transplant Society. Maurice Parobec stood in the hospital lobby wearing a T-shirt and shorts, garb befitting the gold-medal winnerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s lifestyle. Beside him stood Kennedie Maidment, a 17-year-old Valleyview secondary student and Miss Kamloops Pageant princess. Beside her was Margaret Thompson, dressed in bright blue and smiling ear to ear. Glenn Ferro, who arrived slightly late, was casually upbeat. While all have diverse backgrounds, all four had met at the hospital because of their own connections to the Kamloops transplant clinic. Parobec learned in 2007 he had a form of heart disease that had already claimed the lives of many family members. He described being near death when the call came telling him they had a match and he was going to receive a new heart. In the years since his transplant, Parobec has become more

and more active. Last year, while competing in the Canadian Transplant Games, he won six gold medals and four silver. He has already begun training to attend the 2013 World Transplant Games in South Africa in July. Maidment has spent the last few years watching her fatherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ups and downs as he awaits a kidney transplant. The Kamloops princess has been a candy striper since 2010 and will now be moving up to the renal unit

as a volunteer. While volunteering with BC Transplant Society, Maidment was inspired by her fatherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s doctors and nurses in Vancouver and has decided to attend the nursing program at Thompson Rivers University, with the goal of one day becoming a surgeon. Thompson became sick in 2005, at which point she was diagnosed with Goodpastureâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s syndrome, a disease that attacked her kidneys, requiring her to seek a transplant.

Thompson recounted getting a call in 2011, informing her a match had been found, as one of the best moments of her life. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I just began crying,â&#x20AC;? she said. After painfully watching a close friend struggle with illness as he awaited a transplant, Ferro decided to see if he could do something to help. Ferro said the feeling he got from helping was as amazing and he has since volunteered with the BC Transplant Society.

Mother’s Day also anniversary X From A1

The baby’s personality and looks are now beginning to reflect his father’s. “My whole life is now based around him. Whatever we do as a family reflects his needs,” Geraldine said. “We make sure those needs are met first and then take care of what we need to do.” The mother of the province’s first baby of 2013 is looking forward to celebrating her first Mother’s Day this weekend with her son. “It is really special,” she said. “I really treasure every minute with him.”

Last Mother’s Day, her cousin had given her a rose as a joke. Little did either of them know Geraldine was carrying David Junior. “We found out a few weeks later,” she said. Geraldine and her new family will be heading out of town to celebrate Mother’s Day, a day this year (Sunday, May 12) that marks another special event for Geraldine and David — it is their first anniversary, giving the couple even more reason to celebrate.

A19

The family remains grateful to the generosity the Kamloops community showed them just months earlier. The family was presented with a number of gift cards to local restaurants, clothing stores and the like when David Junior was born. “They were very helpful,” Geraldine said, also noting the doctors, nurses and staff at Royal Inland Hospital played a large role in supporting her and helping her learn how to become a new mother.

There’s a comforting thought at the close of the day When I’m weary and lonely and sad That sort of grips hold of this crusty old heart And bids it be merry and glad. It gets in my soul, and it drives out the blues, And ﬁnally thrills through and through. It’s just a sweet memory that chants the refrain, “I’m glad I touched shoulders with you.” Did you know you were brave, Did you know you were strong, Did you know there was one leaning hard, Did you know that I listened and waited and prayed And was cheered by your simplest word? Did you know that I longed for that smile on your face, For the sound of your voice ringing true, Did you know I grew stronger and better because I had merely touched shoulders with you? I am glad that I live; that I battle and strive For a place that I know I must ﬁll; I’m thankful for sorrows I’ll meet with a grin What fortune may send good or ill; I may not have wealth, I may not be great but I know I shall always be true, For I have in my life that courage you gave, When once I touched shoulders with you.

Margaret’s mark on the River City By Marty Hastings STAFF REPORTER sports@kamloopsthisweek.com

Margaret Nakai has woven herself into the fabric of Kamloops. Now, she’s moving on. The 88-year-old, who is moving to Vancouver later this month, has been knitting for ages,, donatingg rful ul creations ti her wonderful t — many off them B Kamloops Blazers’ sweaters — to orrgacharitable organizations. “You’re giving your heart out m to help them Naakai, sitting out,” said Nakai, chh in her on the couch appartment, a downtown apartment, c games hotspot for card c among her circle of friends. “If I givee them $100, it’s only onnly $100.” Nakai has ass been donating her err work at several Tournament urnament Capital locations since 1987, when she moved to Kamloops from Lumby. It was not until about seven years ago, when her husband died, that Nakai switched her focus to the Blue and Orange, realizing Blazer products were flying off the shelves at Desert Gardens

Community Centre. “I said, ‘Oh, what about the trademark?’ giving her a bad time time, and, ‘What if the Blazers come after you?’” said Irene Edamura, Nakai’s daughter. “But, I told her, they probably aren’t going to chase an 80-year-old woman to stop knitting

sweaters, sweaters especially because it’s not for profit, it’s for donation,” Edamura said. “She took the logo off a newspaper picture, put it on a grid and knitted it.” In seven years, Nakai has hand-crafted about 90 Blazers sweaters — 10 for family and friends and 80

for donation — to go along with who-knowshow-many tuques, made with excess material. Each sweater, designed for children six and under, costs about $7 to make and sells for $25. The tuques are a bargain at $5. It takes Nakai between seven sevven to 10 days, working workiing about five hours a day, da to finish a sweater. sweater. A low estimate esstim puts the number num mb of hours spent spent weaving Blazer Blazeer sweats ers e at about 3,000, with a high estimate approachap ing in ng 44,500 hours. “You’ve “Yoou’v got Nothing time. No chasing is ch hasi you around, aroun nd, with, ‘You’ve ggot to do got to do this, you’vee go that,’” Nakai, who that ’” said Na recently travelled to Oregon to meet her ninth great-grandchild, Emilie, born to Cindie Judy, formerly Cindie Edamura, a standout basketball player at Westsyde secondary. On April 9, KTW published a frontpage photo of Grace Lawrence, an adorable three-year-old who

Margaret Nakai is almost 90, which happens to be the estimated number of Kamloops Blazers’ sweaters she has knitted in the past seven years. Nakai has donated about 80 of them to charitable organizations. Dave Eagles/KTW

happened to be wearing a hand-knitted Blazer sweater to a game at Interior Savings Centre. “My daughter ran in all excited,” said Nakai, holding a copy of the newspaper. “I’d never seen anybody wearing them, even with all those out there. It’s the first one. With all the sweaters that I’ve knit, this is the first one I’ve seen. The little girl looked so happy.” KTW received multiple requests for copies of that Allen Douglas photo, some from people with no relation to the young girl, and CBC Kamloops later interviewed Grace and

her father, Gavin. On the couch, which she calls her “work spot,” Nakai held an almost-finished sweater in her hands. “This is the last one,” said Nakai, who is moving to the Coast to be closer to the majority of her greatgrandchildren. “This is my last one I’m going to donate. I kind of feel I’m going to let them down, but I’m going to give them [Desert Gardens] this pattern, with all the instructions — or whatever I can do,” she said. “They said they’ll try.” Desert Gardens

gift-shop guru Alida McKinley will do more than try. “She is going to give us the patterns for the sweaters,” said McKinley, 89. “I can make them and somebody else can make them. And we’ll sell quite a few of them.” Nakai was lending a hand at Desert Gardens long before McKinley arrived at the Seymour Street seniors’ centre. “Her and her husband both,” McKinley said. “All the tables in the dining area. He brought all those in here. They have done an awful lot

of work. “They’ve been very, very beneficial and very generous with their time and everything else. Yes, she’s leaving us and we’re feeling quite upset about it.” Nakai first picked up a needle and thread in 1934, when she was 10. Forced to take leave from her tools when displaced during the Second World War, Nakai returned to the craft post-war, augmenting her husband’s income by knitting, making dresses and tailoring suits.

Pack hosting CCBC championship By Marty Hastings STAFF REPORTER sports@kamloopsthisweek.com

Hitting early and often. That, said TRU WolfPack baseball coach Ray Chadwick, is key for his team, which is hosting the Canadian College Baseball Conference Championship at Norbrock Stadium. “When we were really rolling early in the season and scoring a lot of runs, we were scoring early,” Chadwick said. “There was not a lot of pressure on our pitchers.” The WolfPack open the tournament today (May 9) against the Vancouver Island Baseball Institute Mariners of Nanaimo, with first pitch slated for 7:15 p.m. TRU is hosting the tournament for a fourthstraight season, with the

championship moving next year to Lethbridge, home of the Prairie Baseball Academy Dawgs. The WolfPack have not won the tournament since 2009, losing 7-4 in the final in 2010 to the Mariners and failing to reach the championship game in 2011 and 2012, when the Dawgs claimed back-to-back titles. Finishing the fouryear stint at Norbrock with victory would temper the disappointment of years past — and TRU, which finished the regular season 20-8, is among the favourites. The Dawgs — who split the season series 2-2 with the Pack — finished atop the standings at 22-4. Rounding out the five-team tournament are the Okanagan College Coyotes (1115), the Mariners (9-19)

and the Calgary Dinos (6-22). Aaron Lystang echoed his coaches sentiments when asked what it will take to beat the Dawgs. “We’re going to have to attack them early in the game,” he said. “As long as we execute, we’ll be fine.” Right at the top of the WolfPack order is Brent Carmichael, who had an outstanding season. “I think he hit about .360 or .370,” Chadwick said. “And, I think he led the league in walks and on-base percentage. Offensively, it’s contagious.” Right-hander Wataru Asaoka, who was 5-0 with a 2.27 ERA during the regular season, will take the mound for TRU in the Pack’s opener against the Mariners. On Friday, May 10, TRU will play Calgary

at 11:30 a.m. and Okanagan College at 7 p.m. The WolfPack will finish round-robin play on Saturday, May 11, with a 6 p.m. tilt against the Dawgs. After round-robin play, the first-place team advances straight to the final, set for 1 p.m. on Sunday, May 12. The semifinal is scheduled for 10 a.m. on Sunday.

Nakai: ‘I’ve had a very good life, a busy life” X From A23

Nakai’s stint in Kamloops will soon end, as will the special deliveries to Desert Gardens, but she will continue to knit. There are still nine greatgrandchildren to clothe. “I’ve had a very good life, a busy life,” said Nakai, who turns

89 on May 15. “Keeping busy is something that keeps you going. You keep on working.”

Online and on CBC Radio Nakai spent time talking with KTW in her apartment. Photographer Dave Eagles

recorded some footage and posted a video online at youtube.com/kamloopsthisweek. Nakai will also be featured on CBC Kamloops (94.1 fm) on Friday, May 10, at about 7:50 a.m. The broadcast will be available for streaming online at cbc.ca/kamloops.

The last time Kamloops hosted the B.C. Historical Federation, the Tournament Capital was preparing to host the Canada Games. Mike Harcourt was B.C.’s premier, Gary Bettman had just been installed as the NHL’s commissioner and the Toronto Blue Jays were on the verge of winning their second of backto-back World Series titles. It was 1993 when the BCHF last held its annual get-together in Kamloops and, after 20 years, it’s coming back this weekend. “We thought it

would be an awesome opportunity to host it this year,” said Mary Campone, chairwoman of the conference planning committee. “The theme became the historical grasslands because we wanted something that was unusual and unique to our area.” Based on that theme, Campone said, delegates will be taken by the bus-load to Lac du Bois, where they will be educated on the changing grasslands of the area. Judy Guichon, B.C.’s lieutenant governor, will also give a presentation on the history of ranching in B.C., among other presentations taking place over the weekend.

“It’s one place to be able to buy or look at not only Kamloops’ local history books, but books about local history from across our region and our province,” she said. “I think it’s just having that many books all under one roof — anyone who’s a history buff would appreciate that.” The book sale runs from 1 p.m. to 3 p.m. and 4 p.m. to 6 p.m. on Friday, May 10, and from 9 a.m. to noon and 3 p.m. to 5 p.m. on Saturday, May 11, all taking place in the Ida Room of the Kamloops Convention Centre, 1250 Rogers Way.

SAGITTARIUS - Nov 23/Dec 21 Sagittarius, make things a little easier on yourself this week by making a few changes. Dine out one night and let the beds go unmade a few days.

TAURUS - Apr 21/May 21 Taurus, after some careful consideration, take matters into your own hands. Whether this will work to your advantage still remains to be seen.

CAPRICORN - Dec 22/Jan 20 Capricorn, while socializing you may ﬁnd that you have to chat with some people you’d rather avoid. Be personable this week and avoid arguments.

GEMINI - May 22/Jun 21 Gemini, once you commit to an idea this week, there is no turning back. So you’d better be sure this is the path you want to take. Others aren’t so sure.

CANCER - Jun 22/Jul 22 Cancer, be appreciative and grateful when others are being friendly. Oftentimes people want to do right by others without an ulterior motive.

Taking warm comfort in spiced-milk memories

N THE BEGINNING, THERE WAS WARM MILK WITH HONEY. Heated in an aluminum pot on my mother’s stove, she’d make it late at night — after I’d awoken her to report a bad dream, or that the imaginary fox who lived under my bed was threatening to nibble off my toes. Standing in her cotton nightgown, she’d stir the milk with a wooden spoon, keeping a skin from forming and preventing a scorched batch. Once simmered, she’d scoop a spoonDARCIE HOSSACK ful of creamed honey and set the spoon into Bon APPÉTIT a mug, then carefully pour the scalded milk over top. At the kitchen table, I’d lift the honeyed spoon and watch as the melting sugar twizzled back into the mug in a pale ribbon. This was comfort in a cup — reassurance things that went bump in the night were nothing more than things not heard in the day. The creaking in the walls was the house settling on its foundation. The scratching at the door was our philandering cat, coming home late from his night-time wanderings. And, the scuttling sounds in the kitchen was the escaped hamster scooting back under the fridge with his cheeks full of the seeds we’d left out. A few years later, a microwave replaced stirring at the stove and, around the same time, I became old enough to use appliances by myself. There was no longer any reason to wake my mother. Then, grown and gone from home, trendy coffee shops took the place of hot drinks at home and suddenly there were raspberry hot chocolates, London Fogs, lattes and chai lattes and frothy mugs of steam-heated milk, served with any of a dozen flavours of syrup. But, never honey. Feeling sophisticated, I ordered the hazelnut or vanilla or almond and adored the silky caps of foam that seemed impossible to recreate at home. Nevertheless, from then until now, I have always tried. Over the years, I’ve bought every possi-

Spiced milk wi th honey 1 1/2 cups milk 1-inch piece cinnamon, broken 3 cardamom pods, crushed with side of knife 1-inch piece vanilla pod, split 1 tsp. honey Place spices in a disposable tea bag, and the bag into a mug, along with honey. Heat and froth milk. Pour into mug and let steep three minutes. Remove tea bag.

ble frothing tool, from useless to terrifying, each one’s package promising café-like success. First came a fine-mesh plunger with a glass carafe that, when finessed just right, was supposed to result in luxurious inches of foam. Instead, it allowed the milk to cool from hot to tepid and created no more than a few milk bubbles that could have been reproduced by blowing into the milk with a straw. Next came a little battery-powered whisk that did a much better job, but left a craving for a more authentic, coffee-shop experience. So, I moved on to an aluminum stovetop steamer. Imported from Italy, the steamer was a tiny pressure-cooker with a steam wand sticking out the side. By maintaining water in the chamber at the boiling boil (which required continued contact with a red hot element, even while working the inches-away superheated plastic knobs), the wand (positioned at an impossible angle) was dipped into a milkfilled frothing-pitcher and steam let loose in a continuous, malevolent jet. The resulting sound, so like an infuriated Tasmanian Devil once heard on Discovery Channel, was so terrifying that

my cat slunk around in a fit of paranoia for a week and a concerned neighbour came round to check whether we needed someone to call an exorcist. The resulting milk was bubbly, but not frothy. Warm, but not hot. And, although I tried again and again to see whether practice might make perfect, the menacing device never produced foam worthy of the horrible danger it promised with every shriek of steam. So it seemed there was no good answer to frothy milk at home. Then, suddenly, as though an inventor

had intuited my longing, there it was. A stainless steel darling of a small appliance that heats milk by induction, while teasing it into a froth that doubles the volume with which it began. A Christmas gift from Chefhusband, it has a permanent spot on the countertop. And having the little Breville frother means that steamed milk with honey — sometimes steeped with whole spices — is once again my favourite cup of comfort. onepotato2potato@shaw.ca

MOTHER’S MO OTHER’S DAY

A WORLDWIDE CELEBRATION Everybody is convinced that the he best mom in the world is theirs. hi That’s probably why Mother’s Day is celebrated in dozens of countries around the world, although not always on the same date. There’s nothing new about honouring a mother’s unique role within the family and society as a whole. Ancient Greeks were known to celebrate Rhea, the mother of the Gods, and countless other religions have celebrated the fertility and nurturing qualities of women.

The perpetuation of this tradition in North America goes back American, Anna JJarvis, tto an A i A i who h lost her mother on the second Sunday of May, 1906. She convinced the authorities in her small Virginian town to mark Mother’s Day with a religious ceremony the following year. The idea was so popular that the entire state of Virginia began an official celebration for mothers in 1907. A few years later, in 1914, U.S. President Woodrow Wilson officially designated the second Sunday in May as Mother’s Day.

Since then, many countries including Canada, Brazil, Italy, Japan, andd B Belgium J l i hhave ffollowed ll d this lead and made the second Sunday in May a day of flowers and words of love for moms. Strangely enough, Mother’s Day is celebrated on a wide range of dates around the world. It’s celebrated as early as February in Norway and as late as December in Panama and Indonesia. Between these two extremes, hardly a month goes by without some country honouring their mothers with a special day.

“It’s Happening”

ANNUAL

MOTHER’S DAY

Let her know how grateful you are Mothers give so much of themselves to their children, from the time they’re babies, through childhood and beyond the trials of adolescence. That’s half a lifetime spent caring for their children. Honoured since antiquity, motherhood represents the source of life and nurturing. Why not make your cherished mother’s greatest wish come true for Mother’s Day? If you and your sibling haven’t been on speaking terms for months, if you’re annoyed with a family member over a trifle, why not bury the hatchet, turn the page, and try to get along for your mother’s sake? A family reconciliation might very well be the most wonderful gift she could receive. Perhaps you don’t demonstrate the love you feel for your mother on a regular basis.

CELEBRATION SUNDAY MAY 12TH

Mother’s Day is the ideal moment to express this love, with heartfelt wishes, gifts, or gestures that will go straight to her heart. If you have a limited budget, offer her some quality time, spent together doing an activity she particularly loves. Or, help her out with some chores she finds difficult. At the very least, a pretty card in which you express your wholehearted love for her will surely bring her joy. Another great idea is to develop the habit of expressing your gratitude to your mother and spoiling her every chance you get. It will allow you to build a closer relationship with her, something that might feel great for both of you. Why wait for Mother’s Day to show your affection to the one who gave you life and to tell her how much you love her?

MOTHER’S DAY

WHY WE LOVE OUR MOMS You count the number of sprinkles on each kid’s cupcake to make sure everyone is getting the same amount. You hide in the bathroom to be alone. Your child throws up and you catch it. Someone else’s kid throws up at a party and you keep eating. You master the art of placing food on a plate without anything touching. Your child insists that you read Once upon a Potty out loud in

the doctor’s waiting room and you do it. You hire a babysitter because you haven’t been out with your husband in ages. Then you spend half the night talking about the kids and checking in with the sitter. You hope ketchup is a vegetable because it’s the only one your child eats. You find yourself cutting your husband’s sandwiches into unusual shapes. You fast-foward through the

scene where the hunter shoots Bambi’s mother. You obsess about your child clinging to you when it’s time to go to school, then you obsess about her running in without looking back. You can’t bear to give away baby clothes — it’s so final! You hear your mother’s voice coming out of your mouth when you say, “Not in your good clothes.” You wouldn’t change any of these things for $1 million.

Great Gift Ideas for...

MOTHER’S DAY

Make her dreams come true this Mother’s Day So many mothers love to give little treats to their children, however young or old they may be. On Mother’s Day, reverse this role by making her dream come true. Even though Mother’s Day is often criticized as being a purely commercial occasion, you can still make this day a memorable one by organizing a special event for your mom. There are the old standbys of breakfast in bed, a trip to the movies or a bunch of flowers, but there are all sorts of other, more original ideas. Give free rein to your creativity and innovation to find what truly interests your mom. Emotional experiences, an urge for originality, sensations of well-being, a day as the centre of attention — there are so many ways to personalize the celebration of this ever so important person. Think about gift certificates for such things as a parachute jump, golf lessons, the hiring of an author to write the story of her life, or some appointments with

Eat out on Mother’s Day No mom should have to slave over a hot stove on Mother’s Day, so why not whisk her away from the kitchen and take her to a restaurant? After all, every mother has the right to a well-deserved break! Choosing the right restaurant will depend on the type of food your mother enjoys, but by taking into account her general interests as well, you can add an element of surprise. Does she love music? Choose a restaurant that serves good food as well as live music. Your mom likes to stay

in shape and eat healthy? A restaurant serving vegetarian, Mediterranean or organic dishes is bound to be a hit. Does she dream of travelling to exotic places around the world? Then transport her far from her daily routine to a restaurant that specializes in Creole, Thai, Indian, or African food. In other words, think only of her and what she likes and enjoys. Mother’s Day is a joyful family event so you shouldn’t worry about taking young children with you. Most restaurants are prepared to welcome them and even have special children’s

menus for the occasion. Just be sure to reserve a table a day or two ahead of time to avoid disappointment at the door. Finally, remember that the ultimate gift to a mother is some quality time spent with her family, so make this gifted mother of yours supremely happy. Give her all your attention and use this occasion to demonstrate the love you feel for her. During the meal, listen to her, make her laugh and take care of her. Mothers are precious — and we only have one after all.

Spare yourself the trouble and leave your spring cleaning to the professionals.

Sparkling clean from top to bottom Spring is the season of renewal. It’s also the time when we’re most likely to feel like scouring our homes from top to bottom. We all love to have a clean and sparkling home to welcome the beautiful, sunny days of summer. The spring clean is an annual rite of passage to chase away all the dirt hidden away in a home’s nooks and crannies, so after putting away cool-weather boots and parka and ice scraper for the car window, get ready to wash, dust and polish.

Do you hate spring cleaning? Then call on the services of house-cleaning experts who have turned dusting and mopping into a fine art. Ventilation ducts, walls, floors, baseboards, mouldings, windows, carpets, rugs — nothing can escape the keen eyes of these professionals. Entrust a specialist with all your cleaning jobs, from attic to basement via the garage and even the outside of the house. And don’t forget that your pets could probably do with a good grooming session as well. For a quick version of the

spring clean, fresh air is the key word. It eliminates all traces of fall and winter, including irritants such as dust and allergens. So, open your windows wide and let the wonderful scents of spring freshen up your entire house. While the windows are open, grab the mop and a pail of water to give the floor a quick swish — it will dry fast and bring a sparkle to your space. Spring will definitely be in the air after a little bit of hard work!

It’s time to spring clean As the balmy rays of the spring sun start to warm our homes, people often get the sudden urge to let the fresh air in and clean the house from top to bottom. Here is a plan to help you make the most of your efforts. First of all, it’s important to dust everything with a rag or a duster before washing; wet dust just forms a thin layer of mud that’s no fun to clean up. Be sure to dust ceiling fans and replace filters in kitchen and bathroom ventilation fans. Dust bookshelves, window blinds and light fixtures and lamps. This is also the perfect time to clean the tops of kitchen and bathroom cabinets. In the kitchen, clean away all the forgotten splashes and splatters that you’ve been ignoring. Wash the walls and the ceiling, paying special attention to the fridge and stove. Clean all your appliances inside and out. If your microwave oven smells funny, heat up a mixture of lemon juice and water in it before wiping it clean. This is the time to thoroughly wash cupboard doors and shelves. While your head is in the cabinets, reorganize them by getting rid of products that are too old or out of date. Do the same thing in the fridge and

healthy landscapes, healthy living

Xeriscaping in Kamloops Xeriscape means “water conservation through creative landscaping”. Landscapes suited to our semi-arid climate conserve water and have an advantage over pest problems. Apply these principles to any garden style and have a healthy, high quality landscape: 1. Planning and design: Group plants according to their water use. Slope hard surfaces to drain to planted areas. Avoid steep slopes – create terraces instead. Use groundcovers on gentle slopes. 2. Good soils: Organic matter is an excellent soil amendment. It improves moisture holding capacity in sandy soils and helps to loosen clay soils. 3. Appropriate plant selection: Drought tolerant plants thrive here. There are many beautiful trees, shrubs and flowers with low water needs. 4. Practical turf areas: Replace unused lawns with other plants. Use hardsurfacing for play courts, patios, and walkways. 5. Water wisely: Water deeply, but infrequently to encourage deep rooting and drought-tolerance.

FAITH

Making the most of the motherhood years

O ELEMENT OF SURPRISE IS BEING EVOKED IN HOLLYWOOD AT THE NEWS THAT ACTRESS HALLE BERRY — AT AGE 46 — IS GOING TO HAVE A BABY. At an age when many women have experienced raising some grandkids, the desire for motherhood surpasses risks associated with giving birth in later life. The Biblical record of the unusual conception of Sarah, the wife of Abraham, and the birth of Isaac at the ripe old age of 90, owes its origin to divine intervention as was his subsequent preservation to head up a long line of Jewish patriarchs in fulfillment of prophetic history. After a significant comeback from despair to dignity, Sarah died at age 127 without subscribing to our equivalent of retirement benefits. Even in our days, many mothers all over the world endure long hours, undefined pay and guiltridden retirement years of what

to live in gratitude and joy. Practical conventional discipleship, when they are able, prepares mothers to simply “practice the presence of God” (cf. Brother Lawrence) in seasons of life filled with disorder. A Benedictine rule describes its purpose as “seeking the grace of God with the help of many brothers.” As women with children, mothers’ spirituality looks little like that of a monk, but they seek the same grace. They do it with the help of their two, three, four, or 11-yearold kids. And, though their spiritual lives are somewhat impoverished for some years, they can still feel rich. They can see a spiritual director, read the Bible, enjoy solitude again as soon as they get the chance. But, for some years, they may have to practice spiritual undisciplines. Let the prayers of many in Christian churches this

Mother’s Day be: “Lord, You brought these mothers in our church. We pray you would bless them for the many ways they have been blessings to their families and us. “Surround them with the love of those who care so much for them. “Help them to see the many ways they have touched their families and the many hearts who are blessed by their lives and labours. “In all our prayers for them, we always ‘pray with joy . . . being confident of this, that he who began a good work in (them) will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus (Philippians 1:4,6).” After all, the nearest thing we can see in this world to God’s love is a mother’s love. narayanmitra@hotmail.com KTW welcomes submissions to its Faith page.

BRADFORD ALLEN COVINGTON November 10, 1950 – May 3, 2013

“To be what we are, to become what we are capable of becoming, is the only end in life.” Robert Louis Stevenson On the gusty morning of April 27, 2013, Peter Grauer passed away in the loving arms of his family in Kamloops, British Columbia. Peter was born in Revelstoke, BC, to Haakon Peter (d.1958) and Nora Evelyn née Portman (d.1993) Grauer. He attended school there with his two younger brothers, Robert (Leslie) and Alfie (both of whom predeceased him in the early 1990s), graduated and went on to UBC. Even though he made Kamloops his home with his family for his adult life, he held the small-town beauty, magic and friendships of his life growing up in Revelstoke very close to his heart. Peter was a very private man who garnered love and respect from his family and the many people he met on his journey. It was easy for him to see humour in the smallest nuances, and his infectious laugh would lift a room. He had a keenly inquisitive mind and constantly pursued knowledge. Although he came from a modest background, he treasured everything life had to offer - family and friends, the beauty of nature, music and art, the joy of owning a piece of land, opportunities to enrich his life, and of course good food. He was a proud and conscientious Canadian. Peter lived a full and interesting life and never let adversity defeat him. His integrity was admirable and paralleled by few. He consistently pursued what was right even if compromise would have made life easier. How we envied his quiet and gentle confidence. Even after struggling with difficult decisions, he slept with a clear conscience – his compass was always adjusted to “True North”. Peter was a genuine and generous man. He appreciated input and unstintingly acknowledged contribution. He was most passionate about gaining and sharing knowledge. Those who were liked and loved by Peter were gifted with encouragement and inspiration. The story of Bill Miner intrigued Peter, and after years of research, in 2006 he published his first book, Interred With Their Bones, for which he received the Lieutenant Governor’s award. While researching the Bill Miner book, Peter came across fascinating and little known history of our province inspiring his next work. Following 6 years of meticulous research focusing on the period 1858 to 1862, Taken at the Flood, is soon to be published posthumously by his immediate family and close friends. To have this body of work completed was Peter’s last wish. Peter’s books will be his legacy to truth and fairness in the way our history is remembered, with the facts accurately recorded. His quest was to ignite an interest in Canadian history, which he felt had often received a rather dry and cursory treatment. Despite arguments to the contrary, he believed that Canadian history was dynamic, exciting, and to a large degree, unexplored. His writing puts the reader in the moment. Peter leaves his truest love, best friend and partner of 43 years, Karen Marie (née McKenzie) Grauer, his daughter, Kirsten Marie Grauer, 5-year-old granddaughter, Norah Marie Grauer Bell, and son-in-law and friend, Timothy John Bell of Kamloops. He was predeceased by his son, Karl Edward Grauer, in the spring of 1999. There will not be a service at this time. Peter’s life and last accomplishment will be celebrated together at the launch of “Taken At The Flood” sometime this summer. Date, place and time TBA. Messages of condolence for the family may be left at www.inmemoriam.ca

Sadly, Brad lost his courageous fight with cancer on May 3, 2013. He fought that battle with such selflessness and dignity. Brad is survived by his loving wife Carol and daughters Jess (Kevin) and Linds, his sister Betty (Don), brothers Blaine (Deb) and Brent (Deb), his Auntie Bobbi, mother-in-law Bev, brothers-in-law Doug (Hetty), Dan (Lyn), Rick (Allison), sisters-in-law Diana (Ken) and Cathy (Steve) and numerous loving cousins, nephews and nieces. Brad was predeceased by his grandparents Percy and Violet Burns, his parents Al and Shirley, his Aunt Beryl and father-in-law Chuck. Brad was born on November 10, 1950 in Lytton, BC. He grew up in North Bend, BC, enjoying a wonderful life fishing and hunting with his dad and brothers. He attended high school in Hope, BC, moving to Maple Ridge with his family for grade 12. Brad loved 4-wheeling, fishing and hunting with his numerous buddies, especially Rick. Brad met the love of his life, Carol, and together they moved to Kamloops in 1980, settling in Rayleigh. They married in 1982 and were blessed with two beautiful daughters, Jess and Linds. Brad loved being a dad. He taught his girls everything he knew with such patience and passion. He played slowpitch for B.A. Blacktop and forged many lasting friendships with his teammates, especially Lorne. Living in Rayleigh, Brad and Carol enjoyed a beautiful small community lifestyle with so many long lasting good friends and many good times with his best buddies Barry and Al. The last few years, Brad rekindled his passion for motorcycles and many lasting memories were made out on the open road, riding his Harleys with friends old and new. Brad became a glazier in the 1970’s. He worked for Cloverdale Glass and started at Inland Glass and Aluminum in Kamloops in 1980, where he stayed for 32 years. He loved his job and dedicated himself to it. He loved to teach his craft, but mostly he enjoyed working with the guys. Many thanks to Frank, Regan and Gary for giving Brad the opportunity to do that. His new and longtime coworkers, especially George, Graham and Pat, were also his dear friends. Brad was right there with you, on the job until the end. Many thanks to so many dear friends and family for their love and support.
