IF SENATOR RAINE WAS DUFFY, SHE WOULD QUIT By Andrea Klassen STAFF REPORTER andrea@kamloopsthisweek.com

Were she in Mike Duffy’s shoes, Nancy Greene Raine would resign. The Conservative Kamloops senator said her Prince Edward Island counterpart’s behaviour in the wake of a housing expenses scandal has been “sad and disappointing” to watch. Duffy left the Conservative caucus last week amid reports that he had taken a $90,000 personal cheque from Prime Minister Stephen Harper’s chief of staff, Nigel Wright, to repay housing expenses he shouldn’t have claimed. Wright himself resigned from his position in the Prime Minister’s Office over the weekend. Media have also reported Duffy may also have double dipped on his expenses — charging the Senate for time he spent campaigning for the Conservatives prior to the 2011 federal election. “Personally, if it was NANCY GREENE RAINE: “Personally, if it was me, I would resign,” me, I would resign.” Raine told KTW on Tuesday, May 21, a few hours before the Senate was set to meet to discuss the expenses issue. “He’s made some huge mistakes and using public funds during election campaigns and having his expenses, double-dipping as they say, that is just not acceptable,” Raine said. “You can’t blame that on your staff.” “You need to be on top of those things. We were told very, very clearly that Senate resources were not to be used during the writ period when you are out campaigning.” Raine said it’s normal for senators to campaign for their colleagues in the House of Commons, but said “there is no way” she would ever submit any such expenses to the Senate for such work.

Puhallo chosen as NSBIA executive director By Dale Bass STAFF REPORTER dale@kamloopsthisweek.com

With the provincial election now in the history books, the admittedly partisan Steve Puhallo said he’s ready to set aside his B.C. Liberal cheerleading and get on with his new job. Puhallo is stepping into the position held for years by Peter Mutrie and one month by Lyn Hellyar as executive director of the North Shore Business Improvement Association (NSBIA). “I’ll be honest. I’m a big fan of Terry Lake and the work he’s done for Kamloops and for the North Shore and the North Thompson,” said Puhallo, a former provincial-

government staffer, “And I have been pretty partisan when that has been my role, but my role is far different now.” First up for the Westsyde secondary grad is getting to know NSBIA board members he has not met and then heading out to introduce himself to the community of which he said he has always felt a part — going back five generations. “My great-grandfather planted an apple orchard in Brock,” Puhallo said. “I’m looking forward to being able to give back to a community I’ve loved my entire life.” Puhallo brings to the job 15 years of experience in government and the business world,

KAMLOOPS

mostly in public affairs, strategic planning and policy development. NSBIA board president Lynda Douglas is thrilled with the hire. “He’s got great energy and great vision,” she said. The job became vacant after Hellyar’s position was terminated in March, just one month after she was hired. Hellyar came to Kamloops from Vancouver, where she headed the West End Business Improvement Association. She replaced Peter Mutrie, who quit suddenly at the start of a board meeting in November after 12 years in the position. Puhallo said he will continue in his role with the Farm Kids Scholarship Fund, a non-profit

that helps rural youth through events that promote Western culture and agri-tourism. “I promised my uncle I’d see this through and I’m staying with it,” Puhallo said. His uncle was cowboy poet Mike Puhallo. While the Tranquille Market area and the businesses situated there are a key component, Puhallo sees the North Shore defined as communities north and west of the Thompson rivers. “Westsyde is Westsyde and Brock is Brock and the North Shore is the North Shore,” he said. “And the Tranquille Market is a big focus, but we have to look at the larger picture, as well.”

COVER PAGE STORY

IN A (NAVY) LEAGUE OF THEIR OWN By Cavelle Layes STAFF REPORTER reporter@kamloopsthisweek.com

Kamloops Navy League Cadets are winning awards and helping their community — all while working to keep their own doors open. Parents will pay hundreds of dollars, and more for equipment, to put their kids through hockey. Soccer and baseball have threefigure costs, too. Many of these sports also have additional fees to cover travel, while the seasons last a matter of months. To become a Kamloops Navy League Cadet, however, you need only $50. That $50 will get your child a uniform and allow them to participate in weekly parades, take part in group trips and make lifelong friendships.

And that $50 investment has a 10-month life span. At one point, Kamloops Navy League Corps Lieut. Ester Barone said, they were able to let kids participate for free. While they can no longer offer free admission, they do whatever they can to keep costs affordable. It is tough, though, because they receive no other forms of funding. The lack of funding is a result of the age bracket of the group, having younger members than most similar programs. The Kamloops Navy League accepts members at age nine, while most other youth military groups peg 12 as an entry age. As a result the Navy League relies heavily on fundraising efforts, something in which everyone

participates. They conduct raffles and tag days and sell sausages in partnership with Gary’s Deli. Some of the young cadets also operate gates at Kamloops off-road races. Becoming a navy cadet is truly beneficial for a number of reasons, Barone said. “It gives them confidence and teaches them how to be a good citizen,” she said, adding the organization teaches kids to become involved in their community. Not only do cadets raise money to keep their own doors open, they also help out others as often as they can. Senior cadets are working on a number of projects for the BCSPCA Challenge between Kamloops and Prince George.

The Kamloops corps has about 140 cadets registered, each of whom can move on to air, army or sea cadets when they get older. While in the Kamloops Navy League, cadets learn an array of skills, from shooting a rifle to mastering rope work to sailing on Nicola Lake. “Many of our kids are fluent in Morse code and other forms of communication,” Barone said. A number of the Kamloops Cadets recently headed to Vancouver for a competition. They had two teams with five cadets each participate in the firstaid competition. Of the 13 teams competing, Kamloops’ junior squad finished 12th and its captain placed eighth; its senior team came in eighth and

its captain finished fourth. The Kamloops drill team finished second in the five-team drill competition, with its captain claiming first. “There are always fewer teams in this competition because the guidelines are so rigid and regulated,” Barone said. “I am so proud of them.” She said all the cadets were new to the competition, noting the drill captain took on his role just four weeks earlier. The group celebrated its success upon return with some cake and an encore performance. “We are like a big family here,” Barone said. “The kids build life-long friendships and a real sense of confidence.”

Kamloops SPCA seeks help for dog’s surgery The Kamloops branch of the BC SPCA is seeking the public’s help to cover the medical costs to remove a basketball-size tumour from the shoulder of a Labrador retriever mix. Casey was given to the SPCA shortly before the Victoria Day long weekend because his owner could no longer care for the eight-year-old dog. The massive tumour was assessed by a veterinarian, who recommended removal of the mass of fatty tissue that has displaced the dog’s front left leg. “We were shocked to see Casey with such a large, untreated mass when we accepted him to the shelter,” said Charleen Holloway, manager of the BC SPCA’s Kamloops branch. “This could have been easily remedied years ago, but now there could be major complications.” Surgery will cost upwards of $2,000 and the SPCA needs help from the public to offset its medical budget. “We cared for nearly 30,000 animals last year, including 1,293 animals at the Kamloops shelter,” said Lorie Chortyk, general manager of community relations for the BC SPCA. “Many of them are surrendered to us needing urgent medical care and

requiring the generosity of our donors to cover veterinary costs.” Chortyk noted the BC SPCA relies on community donations to fund its medical budget, services and programs. The SPCA is also reminding pet guardians that regular veterinary care is important for the health and longevity of animals. “Casey’s surgery would have been less costly and required less recovery time had this been treated when discovered two or three years ago,” Holloway said. Despite the mass, Holloway said, Casey remains very active and still acts like a puppy. He is expected to make a full recovery from the surgery, which is scheduled for May 24. Currently in foster care, Casey will be available for adoption once fully recovered. Those able to help with the ongoing medical costs for Casey and other animals in need can donate online at spca.bc.ca/support, by calling the Kamloops shelter at 250-376-7722 or by dropping off or mailing donations to the BC SPCA’s Kamloops Branch at 1211 Eighth St., Kamloops, B.C., V2B 2Y3.

Casey, an eight-year-old Labrador retriever mix, requires surgery to remove a massive ball of fatty tissue from his shoulder. The May 24 surgical procedure is estimated to cost $20,000 and the BC SPCA is asking for help in covering the cost.

When Kurt Johnsen decided to start flying remote-controlled model planes, he first did his homework. The North Shore resident went over the city’s bylaws, looking for any restrictions that would keep from flying the batterycontrolled Styrofoam planes in city parks, and found nothing. So, he purchased a plane, about two feet wide at its wingspan, and started learning to fly. “I’ve been sick for just over four-and-a half years now and I’ve spent most of that time in bed or on the couch because it hurts to stand, it hurts to sit and walk and stuff. “So, lying down is the most comfortable position,” said Johnsen, who walks with the assistance of crutches. But when his 10-year-old son received an RC plane for Christmas, Johnsen decided to try out flying, too. “I figured, hey, this would be something we could do together and go and have fun,” he said. Like many of the city’s model-plane flyers, they headed to McArthur Island, piloting their planes

over empty soccer fields. The pair got good enough that Johnsen added a second plane to their fleet, this time with a four-foot wingspan. But, though he’s had it more than three weeks, Johnsen estimates the new plane has been in the air for less than a minute — thanks to a visit from a city bylaw officer. “He claimed that there’s a bylaw stating that we couldn’t fly there,” Johnsen said. “If we get caught flying there, they’ll give us up to a $1,500 fine and they’ll confiscate the RC planes and the transmitter.” He hasn’t been

back to fly since, he said. The financial risk is too great. Darren Hicks, co-owner of Interior Crafts and Hobbies, which sells radio controlled park flyers like Johnsen’s, told KTW many of his customers are telling similar stories. He’s been told the planes fall under the city’s nuisance bylaw, but doesn’t understand why. Johnsen is also perplexed by the explanation. “We never flew over fields where there was soccer games or football or baseball,” he said. “We’d go to an empty field and we’d

fly and that was only if the wind wasn’t up. There was never a problem. We never did anything threatening like flying over people.” Hicks said the average plane doesn’t fly much higher than the tree tops in McArthur Island and doesn’t require a licence to operate. “Your little park flyers aren’t big — and they’re safe,” he said. “I’d like to know how many ER visits there’s been from people getting injured from an RC park flyer as opposed to getting hit in the head with a golf ball or a softball.” X See CITY A14

A picture is worth a thousand words — or is it?

was sort of challenged to write something about the photograph KTW ran after the provincial election — the one with formercop-turned-Ajax-staffer Yves Lacasse hugging former environment minister Terry Lake. I saw it and simply thought one word — “Figures.” Is anyone surprised Lacasse is delighted Lake was re-elected? No one who has dealt with the former superintendent of the Kamloops RCMP could possibly be amazed. One thing Lacasse was good at in that role was knowing when to grab a moment — and grabbing the victorious Lake was one such moment. Is anyone surprised Lake allowed the moment to occur? In the overwhelming emotional situation of an election-night win for the MLA, I don’t see how they can be. Should it have happened? No. Will it happen again? Probably. Maybe not with Lacasse, who now works for the company that wants to dig a very big pit just south of Aberdeen and then spend years running equally big equipment into it to extract minerals. I’m hoping someone will explain to Lake, particularly if he retains his portfolio of environment, that photos like that don’t go very far in maintaining the objective distance he has professed to follow since the mine became such a divisive issue in the community. If Lake ends up with a different ministry to oversee, I hope someone then takes a moment to explain that one does not look like one is representing all the people when one appears to be buddy-buddy with the guy whose

DALE BASS Street

LEVEL job it is to sell the mine to those who will ultimately decide if the crushers and drills break through the soil. Ajax has been spending a lot of money in the city since it first crept into our awareness and it’s been wise in how it has done this. The arts community has benefitted from its largesse, much to the chagrin of some activists who have vowed they won’t set foot in a theatre where the production is sponsored by Ajax. That seems silly to me. Why punish a struggling sector that is essential to our community because you don’t like where the money comes from? I don’t particularly like the federal government right now and am pretty sure I’m not going to like the next provincial government much either, but that won’t stop me from supporting our arts, even as they gladly accept whatever financial support handed out to them by senior levels of government. That same friend who challenged me shares another view on Ajax — we’re both conflicted about the proposed project. One side of me wants to rail about the potential environmental woes that

could befall us. I live just up the road from a veneer plant that then-MLA Kevin Krueger insisted would do nothing to the environment but, when it’s running, folks in my family with asthma have even more trouble breathing. I can’t imagine what it will be like living next to the mine, if it goes ahead. The other side of me can’t help but think all those jobs would be a huge boost to our economy — assuming they go to local folks and Ajax doesn’t follow the lead of so many other businesses and get federal blessing to bring in workers from other countries. Then another side of me pops into the argument, pointing out the resource-based industry, by its very nature, is designed to be destructive in some way. I want a clean, healthy environment for my kids, but I’d also like them to be able to find a job that pays more than minimum wage and allows them to continue to live in Kamloops, if that’s what they choose to do. Is it fair to condemn Lake and Lacasse for doing what friends just naturally do when one of them is successful? Not really. Is it fair to condemn the former environment minister and the man promoting a controversial mine for doing the exact same thing? I’m not sure. Maybe if it had just been a handshake or a congratulatory text message, it would have been fine. Or maybe, in this case, as one KTW letter writer noted, a picture really is worth a thousand words. dale@kamloopsthisweek.com

As the dust settles, Premier Christy Clark just might be in a nowin situation. On the heels of her party’s decisive victory last week, the B.C. Liberal leader’s unheralded celebration was tempered by the loss of her own Vancouver-Point Grey riding to New Democrat David Eby. It is open to conjecture whether her failure to win in her borrowed provincial riding — hand-picked when former premier Gordon Campbell resigned midterm — was a statement against Clark, against her party, for Eby, for his party, a combination of these factors, votesplitting or apathy. Regardless, Clark must now find a safe riding in which to run. And this is where voters’ exacerbated distrust of politicians — all politicians — will make this a tougher sell, regardless of how friendly the riding. It will require one of 50 electionnight victors from among her party faithful to resign, telling voters “thanks, but no thanks,” just days after coming to them, cap in hand. It will also require Clark to tell these same voters she unabashedly counts on their support, despite, presumably, spending little time in their riding before now. Some suggest Clark’s focus is on South Surrey’s three ridings — Surrey-Cloverdale, SurreyWhite Rock and Surrey-Panorama — where each of her B.C. Liberals earned more votes than all challengers combined (60.05, 58.58 and 54.28 per cent, respectively). Any of these three, however, would mean Clark would be willing to unseat individuals with whom voters have formed a relationship over time. One can only imagine voters’ reaction if Clark tried to strong-arm her way in, even if the chosen candidate shamelessly tries to convince us he or she is on board. Note, while some may have voted for the winning candidate solely because of Clark’s leadership, a great many more did so because they feared a left-leaning government — for them, the greater of two evils. Now that this fear has evaporated, these votes, too, are up in the air.

Re: Story: If she was in Duffy’s shoes, Senator Nancy Greene Raine would quit: “If Duffy did what he did with his expenses, he should go to jail for theft — plain and simple. “There is no grey area here.” — posted by Jim Taylor “We really need to either reform the Senate or abolish it altogether. “It’s a useless waste of money and an embarrassment to our supposedly democratic country.” — posted by Jason Manchester “If it is proven that Duffy did what is alleged with his expenses, he should resign. “Enough is enough. “It would appear that Duffy may have been trying to enrich himself at the expense of taxpayers. “The committee studying his expenses has no reason to protect him. “Dig the information out and, if necessary, call in the police.” — posted by Mervin Hollingsworth

Q&A

WHERE ARE FACTS TO BACK UP CLAIMS? Editor: Joyce MacPherson’s letter of May 16 (‘On Ajax mine, believe science over corporate spin’) caused me to spend a bit of time on the Internet, trying to tease out support for the broad assertions she makes. I couldn’t find it. Where are these medical statistics about elevated cancer rates in copper towns? Who says bees are dying from toxins caused by mines? I spent some time on the World Bank Group’s website and looked at some of its guidelines regarding mines,

but couldn’t find support for the assertions made by MacPherson. I couldn’t find any publication that rated Europe’s mining companies at all, let alone one that rated KGHM “one of Europe’s most polluting miners.” If MacPherson is going to make such broad assertions, she needs to back them up and not exaggerate. I think anyone interested in the subject would buy into the proposition that one should believe science over spin. John Drayton Kamloops

Historic provincial election for all the wrong reasons Editor: Re: Ernie Beadle’s letter of May 15 regarding the provincial-election results (‘Historic election a victory for B.C.’): Yes, history was made on May 14, when three of the four major party leaders lost their respective ridings, while the runner-up claimed his riding, but lost the bid for the premier’s office. As for the leftist media Beadle mentions, surely he is not referring to media mogul David Black of Black Press? The same Black who served as chairman of Premier Gordon Campbell’s Progress Board and strident supporter of the B.C. Liberal Party? The same Black who wants to build a massive refinery in Kitimat for the proposed Northern Gateway pipeline on the northern British Columbia coast? They say a picture is worth a thousand words — like the photo in the May 16 edition of KTW showing Yves Lacasse, manager of external affairs for KGHM

Ajax, hugging victorious Kamloops-North Thompson Liberal candidate Terry Lake at Liberal HQ on election night. Then there is the photo in the same edition of KTW showing Kamloops Coun. Donovan Cavers and Kamloops-North Thompson NDP candidate Kathy Kendall NDP staring in shock and despair at the televised election results, realizing that, once again, fear and corporate dollars spoke volumes on election day. Beadle claims the silent majority spoke up on Election Day. This claim is as false as the Liberal balanced budget as 48 per cent of B.C.’s population chose not to vote. The Liberal silent majority elected a majority government by less than 25 per cent of the people eligible to vote. A true democracy can only work with a majority exercising their representative power and rights. The NDP has worked harder to improve the lives of Canadians than any

other political party The results prove it: Medicare, pensions and an adequate social safety net. The re-election of the Liberals has paved the way for four more years of corruption and uncertainty, with perhaps one certainty — environmental protests, FirstNations protests and union protests, while poverty-profiteers sell B.C. resources to the highest bid, regardless of the damage done to our children’s future. “And every time on election day, all the little mice used to go to the ballot box and they used to elect a government — a government made up of big, fat, black cats. “You see, my friends, the trouble wasn’t with the colour of the cats. The trouble was that they were cats. And, because they were cats, they naturally looked after cats instead of mice.” — Tommy Douglas Lennox Rawn Kamloops

Casting a ballot is the deﬁnition of true freedom whelmed me as I thought of the dangers they face to cast a ballot. They risk harassment, bombings, riots and having their hands cut off if they are marked as having voted. The results of the May 14 provincial election were not what I had hoped for,

the reasons too numerous to delineate here, but I would like to thank all the cancidates who put their names forward to the public. They also are the brave ones. Pat Kaatz Kamloops

City cites ﬂight path as concern at McArthur X From A7

John Ramsey, bylaw services supervisor for the city, said officer have been cracking down on flyers in McArthur Island after they received a complaint from the Model Aeronautics Association of Canada. While some other parks in the city are authorized for flying model planes, McArthur Island is not.

Ramsey said it’s because larger RC planes can interfere with the flight paths of actual aircraft coming and going from Kamloops Airport. “We’ve identified the activity as a nuisance activity,” Ramsey said. “But, we’re also asking for signs to be put up in the park that say they can’t do that.” Though Hicks said park flyers aren’t capable of the kind

of flight elevations about which bylaw services are concerned, Ramsey said bylaws doesn’t have the expertise to determine which kinds of planes are OK and which aren’t. Therefore, all must be outlawed. “Is it going to be six inches in diameter in wingspan or is to going to be one foot? Two? Three? I wouldn’t even know where to start,” Ramsey said.

Monthly MS clinic on its way to Kamloops Kamloopsians being treated for multiple sclerosis will no longer have to leave the Tournament Capital as an outreach clinic will be opening in the city next month. Once a month, a nurse from the MS clinic at Kelowna General Hospital will spend two days in Kamloops. “A Kamloops-based clinic is an option we have long advocated for,” said Dr. Paul Dagg, chairman of the Kamloops chapter of the MS Society. “We know for many patients, travelling long distances can be not only inconvenient, but also challenging to manage, depending on their symptoms.” The clinic will operate out of the eighth floor of Royal Inland Hospital and will be able to accommodate about 10 patients a day.

It will include the option of being seen by Kamloops neurologist Dr. Mudassir Iqbal, rather than travelling to Kelowna or the Lower Mainland. It will be monitored for a year to determine its future. There are an estimated 800 people in the Interior Health Authority region who have MS, with about one-third in the area served by RIH. Multiple sclerosis is a disease that affects the brain and spinal cord, resulting in loss of muscle control, vision, balance and sensation (such as numbness). With MS, the nerves of the brain and spinal cord are damaged by one’s own immune system. Thus, the condition is called an autoimmune disease.

Support the RED Dream The aim of the Kamloops Communities in Bloom Bicentennial Project is to enhance the Red Bridge in a number of ways and to eventually make it an iconic landmark visible from the air, highways, walkways, and throughout the city. PHASE ONE was completed in 2012 with the improvement of entrances and installation of a Heritage Recognition and new Red Bridge sign. PHASE TWO will be completed and ready for public viewing in spring of 2013 with the installation of the two Kiosks and the placement of 300 personally engraved red bricks as a walkway around them along with the sponsored benches. Fundraising for PHASE THREE of the Red Bridge Project is ongoing with plans to see the bridge come alive at night with ﬂood lighting by September 2015 – leaving a lasting impression for the residents of Kamloops and becoming a “must see” and memorable stop for visitors to our city.

Ottawa is trying to fix that which is not broken

AST WEEK, we told you about the introduction of the new DSM-5 and the controversies swirling around the “psychiatry bible.” This week, there is new controversy with the federal government’s proposed changes to legislation introduced in Bill C-54 regarding people found not criminally responsible on account of a mental disorder. To be fair, the government wants to do the right thing and the new legislation will be of assistance to victims of crime. No one would oppose that. But, if it is the government’s belief that adding more restrictions and mandatory time for people found not criminally responsible as the result of a trial, it is misleading itself — and worse, government is not protecting the public. In this region, we have seen a number of these cases recently, including the death of the three Schoenborn children in Merritt, the attack on Bishop David Monroe in Kamloops and two other violent crimes in Kamloops in the past two years, committed by mentally ill on their family members. The legislation proposed by the Conservative government would have done absolutely nothing to prevent any of these crimes — or any future ones. All the legislation would do is further restrict the treatment process and options for people found not criminally responsible. Why is this legislation so flawed? First of all, there are very few times when the federal government changes the law without consult-

ing experts in the field affected by the legislation. For some unknown reason, the government chose to write this legislation without consulting experts. Secondly, the act of closing the gate after the horse has left shows how desperate the government is to look like it is doing something about the concern in the public. The appearance of doing something about violent acts when, in fact, nothing is being done is more dangerous than actually doing nothing. Thirdly, the new legislation defies the facts. People found not criminally responsible tend to be locked up for longer periods than people who are convicted of a criminal offence. The difference is they receive mandatory treatment, there is no specific end date to their incarceration and there are often very strict and permanent conditions to their release. Because of this process, the recidi-

vism rate for people released after a finding of not criminally responsible is much, much lower than people released from jail after serving time. In short, the federal government is trying to fix the one part of the system that is not broken. Meanwhile, services for people who are dangerously mentally ill is a provincial health-jurisdiction issue — and it is very difficult for people in Kamloops to believe this part is being handled well, given the four very serious cases in the past couple of years. In all four of these Kamloops-area acts of violence, the perpetrator of the violence was in hospital and examined by health practitioners 48 hours before any of the violence was committed, but they were released as being “safe” to be in public. In at least some of these cases, the perpetrators of the violence asked for help from health authorities before the violence

Akram’s Hair Design

was committed and were denied that help. It may sound strange, but it is not the criminal-justice system or the federal government that needs to address this issue. It is our provincial government and health authorities that need to give sober second thought to how these services are provided. Write to Kamloops-ThompsonCariboo Conservative MP Cathy McLeod and the federal justice and health ministers to urge them not to punish people when the court has not convicted them. Rather, they should be treated as being ill — like they currently are. We should all ask our health providers to increase their ability to provide help before someone is killed or seriously injured — in most cases, by a loved one.

Down with Us Cool-Climate Wines of the Shuswap By Graydon Ratzlaff, Recline Ridge Winery

What makes wine-making particularly exciting is the diversity and variety of what is available. Within North America, there is much to be said for the range of wines from production in the primary wine-producing regions.

GRADE 8: Jake Cormier Mitchell Halvorson Riley Jackson Jared Jones Samantha McCordic Sara Nisbet Jayden Prince Rosemary Reyes Dawson Wood

These include the well-known Napa and Sonoma valleys in California, the Niagara Peninsula in Ontario and a host of other areas from New York state and elsewhere in the U.S.

GRADE 9: Teresa Cisco-Bara Jessi Gill Travis Gladue Shailee McMartin Jessica Nagy Cody Ouellette Brandon Pomeroy Brayden Reid Sara Schmidt Riley Scott Savannah Vallieres

While these well-known varietals make the headlines, and the majority of wineries are known for their ability to craft wonderful products in these categories, there remain others that are lesser-known, but offer a great deal for those interested to explore the possibilities.

As well, the wines produced in B.C.’s Okanagan Valley compare most favourably with any in the rest of the world. Wine lovers, and even occasional wine drinkers, are aware of the mainstream varietals and the regions of the globe from which they come.

Examples of these include wines prepared from grapes grown in B.C.’s Shuswap region. An area north of the 50th parallel, with geographic boundaries extending from the North Okanagan Valley, north to Shuswap Lake and west to the origins of the Thompson River, this region possesses climatic qualities different from surrounding areas.

Kamloops Communities in Bloom

The Shuswap area exhibits characteristics of four defined seasons. Winters can be cold and summer days are hot, but cool nights and the shoulder seasons of spring and fall bring wonderful attributes of their own. In addition, rainfall is generally greater than in the more widely known grapegrowing region of the Okanagan Valley.

You're Invited to Attend

The Annual Marigold Mile Planting

All in all, the climate in the Shuswap is conducive for production of cool-climate grape varietals — and this is what makes the region stand out. Cool-climate grape varietals have their origins in Europe, from plant-breeding programs targeted at producing grapes capable of ripening early and having the ability to winter well.

Many of the white varietals trace their roots (literally) from regions in Germany with similar climates. These grapes are capable of producing award-winning wines with highlyaromatic qualities and are very fruit-forward. Intensity of flavours with clean, sound structure are the primary attributes of each of these wines. The white wines lend themselves well to duty as patio wines, but they each — in their own way — project components making them excellent for a wide variety of food-pairing options. Ortega, one of these varietals, evokes sensations of tropical fruit, peach and anise, making it an excellent wine to be served with seafood. Siegerrebe, another unique cool-climate varietal, with its essences of peach, apricot, pineapple and honey, as well as possessing a very long finish, serves well as an accompaniment with bold dishes such as curries. Other white cool-climate varietals include Madeleine Angevine, Madeleine Sylvaner, Bacchus, Kerner, and Optima, each with their own wonderful characteristics. Among the most popular of red varietals in this region is the Marechal Foch. This fullbodied red wine is equipped with amazing dark fruit qualities, earthy notes and a characteristic smoky finish, pairing well with a large variety of meat dishes and cheeses. Zweigelt and Blaufrankisch are also varietals typical of the region and these — with their very fruit-forward characteristics — offer unique alternatives to mainstream red wines. What is notable for all of these wines, is their appeal for their unique qualities. With their highly aromatic content and variety of flavour components, they are a “must-taste” for wine enthusiasts and novices alike. The Shuswap region and its vineyards and wineries offer the best of what cool-climate wines can be. With six wineries now in the area and presenting a variety of these coolclimate offerings, one can begin to appreciate the variety and scope that is possible. Explore these wineries and see what coolclimate wines can do for you. You can also check these out online at www. shuswapwineries.ca

COVER PAGE STORY

Community Health Notes

MP Moore calls on Senator Duffy to resign The senior federal Conservative cabinet minister from B.C. is calling on Senator Mike Duffy to resign in the wake of a growing scandal over improper repayment of expenses. Heritage Minister James Moore, the MP for Port Moody-Westwood-Port Coquitlam, told CTV Duffy should resign altogether. Duffy has already quit the Conservative caucus in the Senate after the disclosure that Nigel Wright, chief of staff for Prime Minister Stephen Harper, gave the embattled senator a cheque for $90,000 to repay expenses that may have been improperly claimed. Wright has since resigned his post. Under pressure to provide a public expla-

nation of what happened, Prime Minister Stephen Harper spoke to his caucus on Tuesday, May 21, in front of the media, who weren’t permitted to ask questions. Harper said he was “not happy” and “very upset” about the conduct of some parliamentarians and of his own office, before leaving for South America on a trade mission. Harper told a news conference on Wednesday, May 22, that he did not know about Wright’s payment to Duffy and did not sign off on it. Harper, in Peru on a trade mission, added he would not have allowed the transaction to take place had he known about it.

McLeod wants to see ﬁnal results of probe X From A1

Kamloops-Thompson-Cariboo Conservative MP Cathy McLeod was more cautious in her assessment of Duffy’s future, in contrast to James Moore, the province’s senior Conservative cabinet minister, who has called for Duffy to step down from the Senate. McLeod noted Duffy’s behaviour is under investigation by the ethics commissioner. “I think we need to see the final results of these independent reports and, if he is found to have done something untoward, then I think certainly it’s the honourable thing to do,” she said. It’s not clear if Wright’s payment to Duffy was a loan or a gift — and some national media have reported the cheque was part of a larger deal to take some of the heat off the embattled senator.

The Senate’s conflict-of-interest code forbids members of the red chamber from taking “any gift or benefit” beyond their wages “that could reasonably be related to the Senator’s position.” Wright has publicly stated he kept the deal secret from Harper and others in the Conservative government. McLeod said she doesn’t know any more about what happened, or who knew what, than does the public. Harper briefly addressed the controversy on Tuesday, when he spoke to his caucus before heading to South America on a trade mission. “I’m very upset about some conduct we have witnessed, the conduct of some parliamentarians and the conduct of my own office,” he said, without referencing Duffy or Wright by name.

Thank You Kamloops! The BBQ raised $ 1.2 million nationwide this year. The total raised in the 25 years M&M Meat Shops has been doing these BBQ`s is $ 24,306,000

McLeod was not at the meeting because she was taking part in finance-committee hearings on the Budget Implementation Act. But, she believes the prime minister has said enough on the subject until investigations into the matter conclude. “I think the prime minister has made it very clear in terms of how unacceptable this is and the standards of behaviour he expects from all parliamentarians,” she said. Raine said Duffy’s behaviour is good reason to reform the Senate and tighten up oversight of expense accounts, but it’s not reason enough to write off other senators. “I think there’s a lot of good the Senate can do,” she said. “It’s just the right people have to be chosen properly and they have to be held accountable.

Avoiding hospital admissions by managing illness at home whenever possible is a good goal for everyone. Evidence shows people generally recuperate better at home than in a busy hospital ward. As well, home is where we prefer to be when our medical condition allows it. That’s why we are emphasizing supportive community health services. People who in the past would have required days or weeks of hospital care are being successfully treated in the community. For example, the clinic in Lansdowne Village is open days, evenings, weekends, and holidays for patients who are referred by physicians for care such as wound dressings or intravenous antibiotics. Three new programs were also introduced earlier this year that will help relieve pressure on Royal Inland

Hospital as people with chronic illnesses are supported to better manage symptoms: Home First supports frail seniors destined for residential care or at high risk of hospitalization. A team of health-care professionals works closely with a client’s physician and individualized service and care plans help ensure speciÀc needs are met. Through Breathe Well, two respiratory therapists have been hired to help COPD patients manage their symptoms and avoid Áare-ups that can result in hospital admissions. Mental health clients, particularly those without a regular family physician, often access care through the Emergency Department. Now these clients can attend King Street Clinic in North Kamloops where their primary health and psychiatric needs can be met by a variety of health-care professionals. These programs, along with other services, are helping people Ànd appropriate medical care in the community setting. Learn more about community health services by visiting www. i n t e r i o r h e a l t h . c a / Yo u r C a r e / HomeCommunityCare.

JOHN IVAN DEMECHA October 4th, 1925 ~ May 20th, 2013 It is with heavy hearts that we share the passing of John Demecha of Kamloops, BC on May 20th, 2013 at 87 years of age. He leaves behind his beloved wife of over 62 years, Gertrude and his children, Victor (Linda) of Calgary, AB and Mark (Christine) of Nanaimo, BC. He is also survived by his beloved grandchildren Alexis Demecha, Jacob Demecha, and Erin Demecha. John was born in Ukraine and left his family at a very young age. He worked in Germany and Poland during the war and then traveled to England where he met Gertrude. John worked hard at whatever he did, and in 1957 he moved his young family to Canada. In 1965 they traveled and settle in Kamloops. John worked at Weyerhauser Pulp & Paper Mill until his retirement in 1991. John was a family man who enjoyed working in the garden and being outdoors. The family wishes to express our heartfelt thanks to Doctorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Mallan and Brown, and for the exemplary care and compassion received at Ridgeview Lodge for the short time John resided there, as well as the staff at Ponderosa Lodge. A Celebration of Life will take place at Kamloops Funeral Home on Friday, May 24th, 2013 at 9:30 am. In lieu of ďŹ&#x201A;owers, memorial donations may be made in memory of John to The Diabetes Association, Alzheimerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Society or a charity of your choice.

Mom was born in Winnipeg, Manitoba on May 29, 1922 to Allan and Elizabeth Irwin. She moved with her family to Vancouver in the 1930â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s where she graduated from school. When she was 18 years old, she married William Douglas Rorison and in 1949, with two small children, then moved to a ranch south of Savona near Tunkwa Lake where the family grew and lived for the next 17 years. During that time, Mom raised six children. The challenges were great as there was no school, no power and no running water with the closest neighbors being miles away, but she did it all with love, humor and grace. In the early 60â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s, Mom and the family moved to Savona where she became the secretary of the Savona School until her retirement in 1990. She then moved to Salmon Arm and spent her winters in Palm Desert. In 1999 Mom moved to Ponderosa Place and continued to live there until her passing. Besides her family, Mom loved watching her sports on TV, especially the Toronto Blue Jays. Nona leaves her loving memories to be cherished by her children Rae Fawcett (Ron), Rick Rorison (Judie), Pat Rorison (Janet), Al Rorison (Colleen), Ann Rorison, Nancy Kallio (Monty), also 16 Grandchildren and 15 Great-Grandchildren. She also loved the many extended family members who also called her â&#x20AC;&#x153;Grandmaâ&#x20AC;?. Also surviving Nona are her sister Cathie Provencal (Larry) of Kelowna and Blaine Irwin (Karin) of North Carolina, as well as numerous nieces and nephews. A celebration of Nonaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s life will be held in the Schoening Chapel on Thursday May 30th, 2013 at 1:00pm. In lieu of Ă owers, memorial donations can be made to The Heart and Stroke Fund or to a charity of your choice. Schoening Funeral Services 250-374-1454 www.shoeningfuneralservice.com

May you always hear the birds chirping and have the sun on your face, you are my sun shine!

If I Knew If I knew it would be the last time That Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d see you fall asleep, I would tuck you in more tightly and pray the Lord, your soul to keep. If I knew it would be the last time that I see you walk out the door, I would give you a hug and kiss and call you back for one more. If I knew it would be the last time Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d hear your voice lifted up in praise, I would video tape each action and word, so I could play them back day after day. If I knew it would be the last time, I could spare an extra minute to stop and say â&#x20AC;&#x153;I love you,â&#x20AC;? instead of assuming you would KNOW I do. If I knew it would be the last time I would be there to share your day, Well Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m sure youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll have so many more, so I can let just this one slip away. For surely thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s always tomorrow to make up for an oversight, and we always get a second chance to make everything just right. There will always be another day to say â&#x20AC;&#x153;I love you,â&#x20AC;? And certainly thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s another chance to say our â&#x20AC;&#x153;Anything I can do?â&#x20AC;?

But just in case I might be wrong, and today is all I get, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d like to say how much I love you and I hope we never forget. Tomorrow is not promised to anyone, young or old alike, And today may be the last chance you get to hold your loved one tight. So if youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re waiting for tomorrow, why not do it today? For if tomorrow never comes, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll surely regret the day, That you didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t take that extra time for a smile, a hug, or a kiss and you were too busy to grant someone, what turned out to be their one last wish. So hold your loved ones close today, and whisper in their ear, Tell them how much you love them and that youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll always hold them dear Take time to say â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m sorry,â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Please forgive me,â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thank you,â&#x20AC;? or â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s okay.â&#x20AC;? And if tomorrow never comes, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll have no regrets about today.

MORTGAGE MATTERS

Venom at home The Kamloops Venom are hosting the Vernon Tigers in Thompson Okanagan Junior Lacrosse League play at Memorial Arena on Saturday, May 25. Game time is 7:30 p.m. Kamloops has one win and six losses on the season and sits last in the five-team league’s standings. The Tigers are off to a solid start, with

four wins and one loss, good enough for second place. Meanwhile, the senior Kamloops Rattlers are off this weekend, with their next Thompson Okanagan Senior Lacrosse League tilt slated for Wednesday, May 29, when Armstrong is in town. Game time is 8 p.m. at Memorial. The Rattlers are 3-1 on the campaign.

Credit Score and Home Buying Part I Does living a debt-free lifestyle make you the best candidate for a mortgage? You manage your money well and you purchase only what you can pay cash for. You have no credit cards or loans of any kind! You must be what every lender dreams of when it comes to obtaining a mortgage, right? Well, not so fast… Let’s take a look at one of the key aspects of lending: your credit score. When applying for a mortgage, your credit score weighs heavily when it comes to the mortgage rates you will be offered, the lenders who will work with you or whether you will be denied in your search for a loan. In essence, it can make or break your mortgage application. By definition, a credit score is simply a measure of your proven habits of repaying debt. For that reason, you must repay something to have a positive score, like credit card payments, car payments and small bank loans to name a few. People who do not have or use credit cards and insist on paying cash for everything are often surprised when they are refused for a mortgage because they believe their habit of paying cash should reflect “good credit”. Credit scores are rated on a point system, ranging from 0 (no credit), to a maximum of 900 (perfect credit), with the general minimum credit needed for a mortgage sitting at around 600 points. A person who pays cash for all things will likely have a 0 credit score because they have zero history of repaying debt. So what does this mean to a first time homebuyer? Do your credit card repayment patterns reveal good things about you? As a rule of thumb, a person should use two credit cards regularly and pay them off each month to build a positive credit score. A repayment for a bill as little as $10 will build your score and produce a proven habit of repaying debt. There are two major credit score suppliers in Canada: Equifax and Transunion. Each has a credit education center for those who would like to do further reading:

MANURE

Heat women at Hillside SALE! The Kamloops Heat head into this weekend’s Pacific Coast Soccer League Premier Division action on a high after winning the Pacific Western Championship (PWC) in Penticton. Kamloops — which is hosting the Fraser Valley Action at 2 p.m. at Hillside Stadium on Saturday, May 25 — posted a 3-0 record in Penticton and blanked the host team 2-0 in the final on Monday, May 20. “This tournament is good for us this early in the year,” head coach Kelly Shantz said. “The competition could be a little stronger, but we need the games to get extra touches on the ball and work together after a winter apart.” Heat scorers at the PWC were Courtney Daly (3), Marlie Rittinger (2), Brianna Powrie, Madison Maloski, Bronwyn Crawford, Taylor Miller, Kristi Seaby and Heather Lloyd. Taylor Shantz was between the pipes on the weekend for Kamloops, posting a pair of clean sheets and allowing only one goal all weekend. Kamloops sits fifth in the Premier Division standings with one win and two losses ahead of Saturday’s tilt. On Sunday, May 26, the Heat are hosting the Victoria Highlanders. That match kicks off at noon at Hillside.

Getting to know you The 14 people pictured above are all part of the Kamloops RCMP’s current list of prolific offenders — the criminals on which police keep an especially close eye. The prolific-offender management program started in Kamloops as a pilot in 2007 and became official a year later. When it began, there were 32 crooks on the list. That number swelled each year and there are now somewhere in the neighbourhood of 70 prolific offenders on the Kamloops RCMP’s “A List.” There’s also a “B List,” which is for bad guys and girls who are slightly less prolific in their criminality. Prolific offenders are targeted by police, who perform random — sometimes middle-of-thenight — curfew checks to ensure they are following their court-ordered conditions. They are also offered access to programming to help break drug habits and become productive members of society. Local justice officials — representatives from the RCMP and Crown counsel, as well as probation officers and corrections staff — meet regularly to keep the list up to date. If a prolific offender cleans up his or her act, they are struck from the list. Likewise, if a new criminal is causing a lot of headaches for Mounties, they might be added.

STAFF REPORTER

lthough a recent major drug bust in the city should stem the supply for some time, property crimes — break-ins to get goods to sell to buy drugs — will remain a reality, according to Kamloops Mounties. Just as real is the fact burglaries through the first three months of 2013 — 40 of them — represents a four per cent increase from last year. Another reality, RCMP Insp. Jennie Latham said, is that about six prolific offenders are responsible for the bulk of them. In fact, said Staff-Sgt. Grant Learned, prolific offenders account for about 80 per cent of all property crime in Kamloops. What can be done?

In 2011, Kamloops Mounties recovered this haul of stolen property after busting a fencing operation believed to have been run out of a downtown motel. KTW file photo

The truly determined, after filing a police report, can do as one woman did earlier this year when several thousand dollars worth of jewelry was

taken from her home. She hit the pawn shops and gold exchanges in the city looking for the haul, confident someone would have pawned

them for some quick cash.

The open house — which runs from 10 a.m. until 2 p.m. on Saturday, May 25, at the Public Works Centre, 955 Concordia Way — will be a family-friendly event, featuring activities for kids of all ages. The first 150 children to arrive will receive a free birdhouse to paint and one of the city’s bucket trucks will be offering lift rides. Information booths will explain

what the department does and tours of facilities will show how they do it. Free refreshments will also be on offer and the B.C. Wildlife Park will host an animal display at the event. In addition, Kamloops Fire Rescue will have its popular fire-safety house bouncy castle set up. Anyone interested in learning more about career opportunities within the department can attend a drop-in information session at 1 p.m. The event is part of National Public Works Week, which began on May 19 and runs through Saturday. For more information about the open house, call 250-828-3461.

All need to be vigilant Police work with pawn shops to limit loot market X From B1

Through some form of luck, she happened to enter one goldexchange store just as a man was leaving — having just sold what she recognized to be her own jewelry. Police were able to make an arrest. That’s an unusual occurrence, Learned said. The final reality when dealing with break-ins is that, most of the time, those who have been victimized have no documentation of the goods taken. They haven’t photographed them, recorded serial numbers or engraved an identifier — a driver’s licence number is recommended by police, who can lend an engraver — on their goods. A simple video loaded onto a thumb drive and stored off-site — in a safety-deposit box, for example — can go a long way in getting stolen items back to their rightful owners. But, that assumes they recover goods to begin with and, to make it easier, any business that takes in gold must follow a city bylaw that imposes three conditions, according to City of Kamloops planning and development manager Randy Lambright. Gold purchases must be recorded, photos are required to be taken and passed on to police and all gold must be held for 30 days before being re-sold. Lambright said that doesn’t work for travelling businesses that come into town for the weekend, set up at a venue and invite the public to bring in their old gold for cash. They’re usually gone before the city knows they’ve even been here. Learned said he laughs when

he sees a company come into town for a day, set up in a hotel and advertise it’s there to buy “your old gold.” “Gold is gold. It doesn’t matter how old it is,” he said. “Say you have a 21-year-old come in with a bag of jewelry. “He says it’s his grandmother’s and he wants to sell it. But, it seems out of place they would have this type and this amount. “A legitimate businessperson would have to ask probing questions and take details, if just to protect their own liability.” He said smart crooks are always looking for loopholes and many know enough to stay away from pawn shops. A local pawnbroker, who was reluctant to give his name due to issues with robberies at his business, said he rarely encounters someone trying to pawn hot jewelry because thieves tend to keep up on regulations that could get them busted. Pawn-shop owners must see government-issued photo identification from someone with goods they are selling or putting up as collateral for a loan. “We create a paper trail,” the business owner said. “That’s hard to beat. “It’s a wonderful mechanism to track the items. “If you’ve ever been victimized, you want to know there is a tracking system.” And, while the photographs are welcome and a tool, they are also labour-intensive to try to match them with what are often vague descriptions of stolen jewelry. “We get what we can, but we are reliant on the accuracy and detail from the public,” Learned said. “Items might not be on a list,

but have been reported stolen. “Trust is involved in this.” Drug use and property crime “work hand in glove,” Learned said, and creation of the prolificoffender management program in 2008 brought with it a reduction in property crime. Police, however, have a pretty good idea from month to month what the severity might be based simply on who is in jail at the time and who is out on the street — or breaking through a window or door. Learned said the program has been so successful, with its inclusion of unpredictable nighttime checks at the homes of known offenders, some criminals have told police they’re leaving town because there’s too much heat. Before the program was created, the detachment would sometimes have up to 70 property-crime thefts reported in a single day and officers advocated for something stronger to help with deterrence. Watch commanders offered to give up one or two officers to staff the program if it would help reduce overall crime numbers. The program allows police to do a better job of tracking criminals, Learned said. “We know who our major offenders are and now we can monitor and surveil them and hold them to account,” he said. Police also know how traumatic a break-in can be for a person. “For the vast majority, it’s having your car, your house, your shed broken into. It’s the most distressing thing for the greatest number of people in the community,” Learned said. “It’s not the one or two murders — it’s having your home violated.”

Canadian “Superfood” Gaining International Attention Creator of UMAC-Core™ UMAC-CORE is a unique product created out of an urgent need. In 2004 Tom Harper was diagnosed with a life threatening illness caused by asbestos exposure and given only months to live. He had been raising shellﬁsh at his Research Sea Farm on Vancouver Island, simultaneously perfecting the only method worldwide of growing wild phytoplankton for use in the Aquaculture industry. Based on the wild plankton’s powerful nutritional proﬁle, upon his diagnosis he decided to consume the blend of micronutrients as an energy source he so desperately needed at the time. Every day he ingested the minute ocean plants and every day he felt stronger and experienced less pain. Finally a surgeon performed exploratory surgery. To the doctor’s surprise he was inexplicably able to deliver Mr. Harper a clean bill of health.

People are even giving it to their pets with remarkable results. In fact, Kim Iles says it’s the results she gets with animals that have convinced her of the product’s efﬁcacy. “It’s not a placebo effect when you give it to your pets. We’ve nursed sick animals back to health with UMAC-CORE. That’s how I judge if a product really works - if you can see results with animals - and we do.”

UMAC-CORE quickly gained far more attention than Harper could have imagined. “People were experiencing really positive shifts in their health,” Harper says. “Our success was consumer driven and we weren’t quite prepared for the demand. There were times when staff would offer to spend the night at the office so that we could get the Mr. Harper’s Sea Farm which grows the wild product out, and they often did!” phytoplankton offered in UMAC-CORE is also making a positive impact on the environment. “I Today UMAC-CORE is available in over 800 consider it one on the greenest companies in the health food stores across Canada, in stores world.

Money was also given to the Run for the Cure which raises money each year for the Canadian Breast Cancer Foundation. Finally, the Spirit Warriors dragonboat team, which is comprised of cancer survivors, also received some money from the past years’ shows.

SNORING?

Loose muscles in the throat cause snoring, also interrupted breathing and gasping for air (sleep apnea), which brings on being tired all day, need for napping, high blood pressure, strokes, heart attacks, irregular heart beat. Read below how Bell helps thousands, usually first night, inexpensively, with no side effects. Greatly improves quality of life and saves marriages. Survey says 48% snore and 75% are suffering if you include the silent suffering partners. To my surprise, after taking BellSound Sleep #23 I really didn’t snore or gasp for air anymore. I sleep through the night and feel rested and refreshed in the morning. Mark Wilson, 40, Hudson, NH Sleep apnea capsules worked first night! For last 15 years I had sleep apnea and my doctor made me buy a CPAP machine, which I could not use. Finally Bell #23 helped the first night and every night thereafter. Like a miracle. Unbelievable. Karen Braun, 67, Glace Bay, NS For 20 years I was waking #23 up frequently gasping for air. During the day I would start napping every time I would sit down, because I was tired. Since taking Bell #23 sleeping 6 hours is heaven. It made a substantial change in my life. Mary C. Myrick, 62, Jackson, MS It is such a joy not having to use the CPAP machine. I have had sleep apnea for 10 years. Using Bell#23, my wife says there is no more snoring or stoppage of breathing. It is such a joy to be able to roll to left or right with no hose or mask to deal with. Thank you Bell for a great relief. I suggest anyone with these problems to try it. You will be overjoyed with the results. Wayne Burse, 63, Beamsville, ON.

Helps to activate naturally millions of stem cells from our own bone marrow. The increase in stem cells released from the bone marrow into the blood stream have the potential to become other types of tissue cells with specialized function. Stem cells will multiply and are able to become heart cells, liver cells or any other organ. Located everywhere in our body, stem cells are even under our skin layered between the epidermis and dermis. This is why an increase in stem cells under our skin may help to create a more youthful cell that would replenish elastin and collagen and thus may make us look younger. If our bone marrow does not produce enough stem cells this can result in many illnesses, especially a weak heart, kidneys, liver, pancreas, in fact all healthy functions of our body are decreased. Sufficient stem cells in our body have a great potential of self-repair and the ability to rejuvenate tissues. Women looking for anti-aging help! We all want to slow down aging. After using a bottle of Bell Stem Cell Activator #63 my skin seemed smoother and brighter. My hair looked healthier. It seems to have a cleansing effect. I’m delighted.

TAURUS - Apr 21/May 21 Taurus, take a breather because you will need to rest up for the week ahead. A supervisor is watching you like a hawk so there will be no chance for gooﬁng off.

HOME & GARDEN

Eight steps to the garden of your dreams Creating the garden of your dreams means either calling on the services of a landscape professional or diving headfirst into the project yourself. Of course, landscaping a yard requires a great deal of time, but it is definitely a great opportunity to let your imagination run wild. Before you get down to work, here is a list of all the necessary steps to follow to turn your dream into reality. 1. Planning is vital: Use your survey or certificate of location to check the site for any easements. Take note of hours of full and partial sunshine, undesirable views, which corners to highlight and which to hide. 2. Identify your needs: How will you use the space? Do you want to install a pool or a spa? Do you need space for a childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s playground? Think carefully about all your needs. 3. Make a plan: Using a pencil, eraser and graph paper and draw a scaled plan of your property. Include the house, shed, pathways, driveway, and any trees and shrubs you want to keep. Then add all the elements of your new layout, taking into account the vegetation and structures you wish to include.

4. Choose your plants with care: Before buying anything, take the time to make a list of all the plants you have chosen, including the hours of sunshine they need and the care they require. 5. Spread out the work: Spread the work out over more than a year so your project doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t develop into a source of stress. Give priority to the jobs that require qualified workers and any machinery (pool, water garden, parking area). 6. Consult the experts: Landscaping is an investment that could increase the value of your property. Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t hesitate to consult an expert if you have any questions. Better to spend a few dollars than have to re-do completed work. 7. Stay in control: From the moment your garden starts to take shape, you will have to start maintaining it. Weeding, watering and pruning can take either a few minutes every day or a few hours once a week â&#x20AC;&#x201D; so donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t wait for the work to pile up. 8. Enjoy it: The last rule is definitely the best: Have fun. Make the most of your dream yard and enjoy your favorite pastimes there.

HEN LEW and Karen Leffbetter first moved into the house next to Sam and Ellie’s, Sam had been worried. He’d crowded his wife at the kitchen sink, where she stood soaping last night’s wine glasses, so he could peer out the window and into the neighbouring backyard. “What if they’re Evangelical?” he’d whispered. “We’re Evengelical,” Ellie said, handing Sam a dish towel. “I don’t mean church. I mean what if they have gym memberships or sell vitamins? “What if they’re evangelical about jogging?!” Up until the very last day, Sam had done everything he could to delay the sale of Old Mr. Kemp’s blue bungalow. Sam had mown Mr. Kemp’s lawn and shovelled his driveway and weeded his strawberry patch.

So, when he saw Lew begin to squeeze shiny sauce from a bottle generously onto the still pink meats, he’d been about to point out that grilling sauces have a high sugar content and a low burning point, and should only be applied at the very end of cooking. He was too late, though, and when the sauce began to char, he took another sip of his beer and looked away. He wasn’t gloating. He wasn’t sure he liked Lew, but he took no delight in watching another man’s chicken thighs go up in flames. “I don’t know why this always happens,” Lew said, angrily prying a stuck steak from hot metal. “I bought the best grill in the whole store and it doesn’t do anything but turn meat to ash!” “I think I know the prob — ” Sam said. But before he could fin-

Now, a few weeks later, Sam looks out the kitchen window. He sees Lew’s former grill sitting on his own backyard deck and sighs contentedly as he lifts his golf bag onto his shoulder.. “This driver always shanks the ball,” Lew said the first day they had golfed together. “Maybe you’ll have better luck with it.” He’d given Sam the driver, then driven the golf cart to the clubhouse to buy a better one. “I like our new neighbours,” Sam said when Ellie came through the kitchen wearing her Sunday gardening clothes. “I didn’t think I would, but I do.” onepotato2potato@shaw.ca

Take two wheels to work and you may win Two local businesses are giving bike commuters something else to cheer about by running their own mini-celebration stations during Kamloops Bike To Work Week, May 27 to June 2. Runner’s Sole (1395 Hillside Dr. in the Aberdeen Village mall) welcomes all bike riders to drop by its outside tent on Tuesday, May 28, from 8 a.m. to 9:30 a.m. The store will have samples of Skratch, an electrolyte drink, and ProBar, an energy bar, and everyone who cycles to the store will have a chance to win a $100 gift certificate. Cyclists will also have a chance to win other prizes, including clothing, athletic accessories and food. The Art We Are (246 Victoria St. downtown) is

The annual Scotiabank MS Walk will take place on Sunday, May 26, in Riverside Park, starting and finishing at Interior Savings Centre. The event will run from 8 a.m. to 1 p.m., with the walk starting at 10 a.m. Due to high water and the pathway under the CN train bridge being closed at Riverside Park, there has been a change to this year’s route. Routes of one and two kilometres will take walkers around Riverside Park. Longer routes will take participants over Overlanders Bridge and onto the Rivers Trail along the North Thompson River. Back at the finish area, walkers can enjoy snacks, lunch, refreshments, music and familyfriendly activities. Wheelchairs, scooters and strollers are welcome. Last year, nearly 400 participants raised more than $63,000 for the MS Society’s Kamloops and area chapter.

All those pennies can help these animals

Help Jumpstart Kamloops kids into organized sports The fifth annual Jumpstart Day will take place at the North Shore Canadian Tire location on Saturday, May 25. The day-long fundraising event at 944 Eighth St. will celebrate Jumpstart’s Together We Can Help All Kids Play campaign, which, through the month of May, encourages customers to donate $2 in exchange for a red ball — a national symbol for child’s play. On Jumpstart Day, customers will be asked for a donation to participate in a variety of activities, including a charity barbecue and GoClean waterless car washes. All money raised will be donated to Jumpstart, helping Canadian kids

get involved in organized sport. Donations to Jumpstart help the one in three Canadian families that cannot afford to enrol their children in organized sports and recreation. All funds raised through the Together We Can Help All Kids Play campaign and on Jumpstart Day stay in Kamloops to help local children. To date, 2,408 children in Kamloops have been able to participate in sports and recreation because of Jumpstart. During the past eight years, Jumpstart has helped more than 560,000 kids across Canada by removing the financial barriers that prevent children from participating.

The Flower Power Plant Sale will be held on Saturday May 25, from 8 a.m. to noon at Gaglardi Square (Seymour Street and Second Avenue). The project will see all proceeds go to the Stephen Lewis Foundation, which supports African grandmothers and their AIDS-orphaned grandchildren.

Animal lovers can put the big jar of pennies they’ve been collecting to good use this spring to help animals in need. The Kamloops branch of the BC SPCA is collecting donations (pre-rolled pennies preferred) until May 31. “Many people have a jar of coins sitting in a closet or drawer in their home,” said Lorie Chortyk, general manager of community relations for the BC SPCA. “We are so grateful to anyone who gives their pennies to help animals in their community.” Since the Royal Canadian Mint stopped distributing pennies in February, the BC SPCA is hoping the phased-out coins can make a big difference to dogs, cats, rabbits, gerbils, hamsters and more.

TRAVEL

ÂĄAdiĂłs bland Tex-Mex, hola wonderful food! By Colleen Friesen TRAVEL WRITERSâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; TALES travelwriterstales.com

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s an easy mistake to make. Judging by the typical Tex-Mex fare delivered by most restaurants, you might believe Mexican food is comprised of tortillas, tomatoes and cilantro. Perhaps youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d go so far as to include guacamole, blobs of melty cheese and some limetarted margaritas on that list. Maybe, like me, you believe that nobody travels to Mexico for the food. Instead, we make the trip for the culture, the beaches, the history â&#x20AC;&#x201D; but certainly not for the food. On a recent trip to Baja California Sur, all my preconceived notions of Mexican food were thrown out the window. Apparently, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m in good company because, when celebrity chef Anthony Bourdain of the Travel Channel show No Reservations arrived on the Baja, he said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Baja was a real education to me. I had no idea . . . I was shocked by how delicious the food was.â&#x20AC;? When youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re ready to make this discovery for yourself, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d suggest starting with a little trip down a dusty road somewhere between Pescadero and Todos Santos until you see the sign for Carlitoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Restaurant. Carlito Cham grew up in a bi-cultural Chinese/Mexican home where both of his parents cooked. One stirred the wok

while the other fired up the tortilla pan. Carlito embodies the resulting mix. He makes dreamy dishes like spiny lobster curry or crab-stuffed banana peppers in a panko-crust with a mango sauce or cracked crab dripping in a stickily-superb sauce. Back in Todo Santos, head to La Casita. Chef Sergio Rivera honed his skills travelling the world as a private chef on a yacht. That international exposure shows up in his unique twists on Mexican classics. Smoked marlin rellenos, empanadas stuffed with sea bass, shrimp and scallops, baby back ribs slathered in a molasses-chipotleraspberry glaze, gingerjalepeno-mango sauced grouper â&#x20AC;&#x201D; the list goes on and depends on the catch that day. Everything he serves is fresh, fiery and fabulous. Or drive a little further north to La Paz and pull up to Buffalo Bar-B-Q. It sounds like some cheesy cowboy steakhouse, and though Chef Carlos Valdez definitely delivers on the beef, if you get a chance to try that dayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s catch of fresh octopus grilled over the mesquite fire? Take it. Then again, you might want something simple. Perhaps the woodgrilled shrimp burger dripping with Gouda, garlic mayo, grilled onions and tomato?

SCENIC DESTINATIONS

energy sound from the roving mariachis and the wide smile from Chef Carlos, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll know youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve discovered something wonderful. You just have to look around at the satisfied grins on the faces of the patrons to know youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re right. Another La Paz destination is Las Tres Virgines. Start by licking your way around the chilecrusted rim of the babyorange martini. The tiny oranges are plucked from the courtyard tree and squeezed fresh. You might try the tuna tostada â&#x20AC;&#x201D; a deconstructed assemblage of fatty tuna belly, ponzu sauce, kumquat and drizzles of sesame oil. Though the atmosphere is more sedate than Buffalo Bar-B-Q, the food still delivers the same fresh taste. Of course, with all this restaurant-hopping, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going to need a place to lay your weary head. If you want to

indulge in something divinely decadent, I would suggest Rancho Pescadero. I loved my Crusoeinspired room with the sliding doors leading to a huge outdoor-covered deck overlooking the rolling sea and white sand. They also win the prize for their standard morning delivery of coffee and fresh fruit. Piping hot coffee delivered in a basket with real cream wins my heart every time. I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want to make the usual tepid stuff in my room and stir in little packets of tired chemical whitener. If youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d rather stay in the little town of Todos Santos, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d suggest the elegant simplicity of the rooms at Hotel Casa Tota, each built around the quiet calm of the inner courtyard pool. Plus, their breakfast menu will leave you stunned with choices and flavours. Locally sourced and organically grown food

is catching on everywhere. It is certainly not the exclusive domain of any one region. But, the lower Baja, with such an incredible growing climate and culinary geniuses, just might have the whole thing nailed. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s time to book your trip to Mexico â&#x20AC;&#x201D; for the food.

FAITH

On colourful words and meaningless actions

ING Solomon, with his Godbestowed wisdom, made a sage and sanguine statement in the old book known as Proverbs in the Old Testament: “The tongue of the wise commends knowledge, but the mouth of the fool gushes folly.” I once overheard some kids talking about something they didn’t like. “That (blanks),” they said, using a term made popular by a couple of raunchy late-night TV cartoon characters, a term once considered filthy enough to get kids kicked out of school for uttering. Sadly, bad language and time-wasting occupations seem to be epidemic in our world — even among Christians. So, what’s the big deal? Does it really matter, anyway?

NARAYAN MITRA You Gotta Have FAITH Don’t we have more important things to consider than a few naughty words? In reality, I suppose we could just go along with it. We could allow the movie writers, sitcom stars and others to colour our language with gutter talk. Hours spent playing video and computer games by younger folks does not help in cultivating knowledge and skills to master good disciplines of private and public speaking.

The great American preacher of the 1700s, Jonathan Edwards, entered Yale University at age 13, graduated at age 17 and began preaching God’s good words before age 20. William Pitt the Younger entered Cambridge University at age 14 and was a member of Parliament by age 20, where his unmatched oratory propelled him to the office of prime minister of England at age 24. It is true we could probably accomplish a lot more if we would control our tongues and use language for meaningful purposes — and not be absorbed in meaningless activities. Certainly everyone needs some time each day to unwind with conversations and activities that don’t take a lot of brainpower. But, many have

made gutter words and other distractions their virtual obsessions. We could just get over it and stop trying to hold back the tidal wave of vulgar language. After all, they’re just words. Except for one little thing — God’s Word. We’d have to drop some of God’s teaching from the Bible. We’d have to ignore verses like these: “It is shameful even to mention what the disobedient do in secret” (Ephesians 5:12). “Nor should there be obscenity, foolish talk or coarse joking, which are out of place” (Ephesians 5:4). “Keep your tongue from evil” (Psalm 34:13). “Out of the same mouth come praise and cursing. My brothers, this should not be” (James 3:10).

“You shall not misuse the name of the Lord your God” (Exodus 20:7). “You must rid yourselves of . . . filthy language.” (Colossians 3:8). We may not always be able to avoid hearing bad language or taking part in time-wasting, frivolous activities. But, if we understand that filthy language dishonours God, we’ll begin to see how important it is that we keep our own words clean. We’ll avoid letting ourselves become so conditioned that bad words don’t bother us anymore. The psalmist David declared that mankind has been made only a “little lower” than God (Psalm 8). People are the viceregents of God — rulers under God, with noble tasks to do for Him.

We all have capacity, as people made in God’s image, to use our creativity and skill to accomplish great things. So, while we are dawdling away our time speaking colourful words or indulging in meaningless activities, Satan is at his job of subverting God’s work and plan. Not only are we accomplishing nothing, but we’re permitting the Lord’s enemy to do his dastardly deeds. narayanmitra@ hotmail.com

Congratulations, Liam, on being true to yourself as you turn 19 this week and start a new job. We are so proud of you both. You are our superheroes.
