TEEN SEXUALLY ASSAULTED AT BUSH PARTY More than 1,000 people converged in Barnhartvale for weekend end-of-school bash By Dale Bass STAFF REPORTER dale@kamloopsthisweek.com

With more than 1,000 youth partying outside together, Kamloops Mounties are hoping some of them might have something recorded on their cellphones that will help find a rapist. RCMP Cpl. Cheryl Bush said police are hoping anyone who discovers that kind of video evidence calls the detachment rather than uploads it to YouTube and face criminal charges. Bush said the crowd gathered overnight on Tuesday, June 18, in an area between Barnhartvale and Campbell Creek known as the Tree Flats, celebrating the end of the school year. During the party, a 17-year-old girl who became separated from friends was approached by a male teen, who sexually assaulted her. The girl phoned friends to get her and she and her parents contacted police. The teenager was taken to

‘They’re prey up there. They’re drinking, they’re vulnerable and they aren’t paying attention.’ — Karl deBruijn SD73 assistant superintendent Royal Inland Hospital, where she was treated and released. Bush said police want to avoid the kind of situation that has made headlines in other communities, where videos have been posted of teens being assaulted — actions that add to the victim’s trauma. “It’s the world we live in now,” Bush said, noting the teen recalls other people were in the area of the attack. “Investigators believe there are individuals who witnessed what

Kelowna • Penticton • Salmon Arm • Valleyview Rutland • West Kelowna • Vernon • North Kamloops • Sahali

took place and have photographs of the incident,” Bush said. “The community as a whole has an important role to play in assisting our investigation and providing support to the victim rather than victimizing her further.” Karl deBruijn, an assistant superintendent with the KamloopsThompson school district, said all students receive frequent lessons and reminders about drinking and driving, using drugs and putting themselves into situations that-

could be harmful to them. Graduating students in particular are the focus of these messages, deBruijn said. “It’s almost socially acceptable at grad time to put all this aside. “I don’t know why we would think they’re immune to danger this one time of the year.” Beyond that, there is little the school district can do, he said, because parties like these happen outside of school hours. A similar party last year saw a

female student suffer a broken pelvis when run down by a vehicle, while another teenage girl was attacked with a liquor bottle, suffering lacerations to her head. In the past 18 months, a firearm was brandished at a bush party, a wildfire was sparked at another bash and a man died after he was accidentally shot during a stag party and the vehicle racing him to hospital crashed. “You would hope parents would exercise authority,” deBruijn said, acknowledging that, as teens get older, it’s more difficult to convince them to stay home. “But, they’re prey up there. They’re drinking, they’re vulnerable and they aren’t paying attention.” He said parents are encouraged to at least talk to their kids. If parents cannot convince their children to not go to a bush party, deBruijn said, they need to make sure the teens know what they need to do to be safe.

Recycling may change in 2014 By Andrea Klassen STAFF REPORTER andrea@kamloopsthisweek.com

2 DAYS LEFT! SIDEWALK SOUNDS DOWNTOWN If you visited the library or the Downtown Farmers’ Market on Wednesday, June19, you would have been treated to the happy sounds of Kumbana Marimba, busking in the rain under the tall shady trees at the corner of Fifth Avenue and Victoria Street. The group of four from Parksville is en route to Alberta, stopping to busk to fund its travels. Fronted by music student Fahlon Smith the others — Forest Carson-Austin, Natalie Welburn and Rob Dearin — were taught by Smith. Look for the group in two weeks’ time as it makes its way back to Vancouver Island. Go online to kamloopsthisweek.com to watch video of the energetic band. Dave Eagles/KTW

By this time next year, producers of cardboard, Styrofoam and other recyclable paper products will be paying for curbside recycling programs across B.C. However, the City of Kamloops isn’t sure if the new program will actually lower household fees or be as environmentally friendly as its current service. In 2011, the provincial government changed its recycling regulations to put the onus on manufacturers of newspapers, phone books and packaging materials to pay for their products to be recycled. In response, producers created Multi-Material B.C. (MMBC) — which will oversee recycling programs around the province. In cities like Kamloops, where curbside pickup is already the norm, the local government can opt to keep collecting recyclables for MMBC, explained Kamloops’ environmentalservices manager Jen Fretz. “Assuming council agrees to going forward with this, the city will get a cheque for collecting materials on behalf of the producers and that will offset the costs we’re currently charging people,” Fretz said, estimating the city could get about $1 million a year. But, she said, there are still some big questions about how the program will work and the city’s September deadline to decide

whether to keep operating the recycling program is coming up fast. For one, MMBC hasn’t decided where it will have Kamloops’ recyclables processed. The city uses Emterra, but Fretz said she’s been told the processor could be anywhere within 60 kilometres of the city. “It could be in Sorrento, for crying out loud, which would completely change our whole practice of taking it to Emterra, going to the landfill and being done,” she said. And, after closing two of its recycling depots less than a year ago due to low demand, the city may have to re-open and provide staff at the drop-off sites because MMBC doesn’t want to collect glass as part of its doorto-door service. Fretz isn’t sure what those concerns will do to the cost of the program. “The obvious question is, how does this affect the average homeowner and their rates?” she said. “But, we don’t know.” If the city opts out of MMBC’s program, recycling pickup in Kamloops will go out to tender. “You could, in a nonperfect world, have the city driving along in a truck picking up garbage and somebody else driving along in a different truck from a different company behind us picking up recycling,” Fretz said. Whether or not the city signs on, MMBC will take over Kamloops’ recycling in May of 2014.

Job action affected test scores Stories by Dale Bass STAFF REPORTER dale@kamloopsthisweek.com

Despite concerns from teachers and parents, Terry Sullivan believes the foundation skills assessment tests (FSA) are valid diagnostic tools. The KamloopsThompson school district superintendent noted the annual tests, administered in grades 4 and 7, have been highlighted by Mary Ellen Turpel Lafond, the provincial government’s representative for children and youth, as essential in particular for aboriginal children and those in care. Turpel Lafond has said the FSAs, used to show how well students are learning the curriculum in reading, writing and numeracy, have shown those two groups of children often don’t

learn those basic skills they will need for success in school, so the information is vital for teachers and for government. Sullivan acknowledged the annual tests provide a snapshot of how well a student is learning, but said they also allow teachers to compare their classroom successes with others across the province. He noted the job action by the B.C. Teachers’ Federation last year had a noticeable impact on the FSA scores because teachers did not participate in any student preparation or delivery of the tests. Administrators oversaw the tests, Sullivan said, but he believes the fact results were poorer in Kamloops-Thompson and across B.C. can be attributed directly to the job action. Many parents refused

Sullivan no fan of Fraser rankings Terry Sullivan would love to have a chat with Peter Cowley — but he doesn’t see it happening anytime soon. The Kamloops-Thompson school district superintendent said he finds it most telling Cowley’s organization, the Fraser Institute, doesn’t send out to schools its annual assessment on schools in the province, choosing instead to issue the document to the media. “It’s a media event,” Sullivan said, “and it’s very destructive. It affects the morale of teachers working in the poorest parts of the country.” Sullivan would tell Cowley, the think tank’s vicepresident of development and marketing, that he doesn’t even have to read the results to know what the top schools are in the Fraser report. “It will be independent, private schools on the Coast and that’s the problem with the Fraser Institute,” Sullivan said. “I don’t think there is any coincidence the highest [ranked] schools are always in West Vancouver, where 94 per cent of the [adult] population have post-graduate degrees and the highest income in the province.” Only two of the top 20 schools in the most-recent edition of the secondary-school rankings, released this week, are public schools — Kelowna’s Okanagan Mission is ranked 17th and University Hill in Vancouver is 18th. The top school in the report is York House in the Shaughnessy area of Vancouver, a private girls’ school, followed by Crofton House, another all-girls’ private school in Vancouver and Southridge, a private co-educational school in Surrey. Sullivan said he has always been critical of the annual report, but became more vocal in the past two years based on one school ranking in particular. The report incorporates family incomes into the criteria it uses to rank schools and recently attributed an average $101,000 family income to people living in Chase. The institute later adjusted the income level to $58,000 but, Sullivan said, the C.D. Howe Institute pegs the rate at $31,000.

TERRY SULLIVAN

to allow their children to take the tests last year, he said, further skewing the results. The job action also

meant a survey of parents of kindergarten students on their views of their children’s learning successes wasn’t done — a benchmark that has always been used to chart student progression through the grades. Administration will have to make adjustments as they follow the students’ successes, which Sullivan said can be done, but would be more meaningful with that first baseline data.

ambulance for treatment of the fractures, concussion, a black eye and bumps and bruises. “I really do hope it gets fixed for the sake of employees who have to walk there,” she said. “And I really don’t know what happened. “I was standing and then I was flying through the air thinking I’m not going to stop,” she said with a laugh. Harper hopes to be back for the next school board meeting, on July 8. Until then, other trustees have stepped up to fill in for her at board public engagements.

For every gloomy story lies a tale of heartbreak and hope

HE JUXTAPOSITION OF work these days has been startling. On the one hand, as the court reporter here at KTW, I’m spending time covering the dangerous-offender hearing that seeks to put convicted serial rapist Jack Froese in prison for a very long time. On the other, I wrote about an amazing mom, a paraplegic singleparent — her husband died in the accident that left her paralyzed — who needs a van so she can continue to be an involved mother. The immediate reaction to the story on Crystle Booth and her kids, Taylor and Mackenzie, was startling. It began before the print edition of the paper was even off the presses, as people read the story online and sent messages that they wanted to help. The emails continued throughout this week, as did phone calls from people offering whatever they could spare to help her. To be honest, I wasn’t all that surprised at this reaction because, every time I’ve done a story on someone who needed a hand up, Kamloopsians have responded. But, this time, what was striking was the number of folks offering to help who really don’t have the financial resources to do so. There was one woman, living on a disability pension and caring for an elderly, sick mother, who called to offer her van. It is an older model, having first been in a showroom more than two decades ago, and it needs some work, but it’s been adapted for a paralyzed

DALE BASS Street

LEVEL driver. The woman said she’d sell it to Crystle for $300 because she is also saving money to buy dentures, something that doesn’t really fit into a budget controlled by a disability pension. But, she hastened to add, if Crystle just wants the van, she can have it. Unfortunately, the model is too old for the adaptations that Crystle already has financial commitment to provide. She really just needs a newermodel Dodge van. There was a senior living on a government pension who wanted to give her $100. Another man emailed in with hand controls from a vehicle whose owner has died. A man recovering from cancer wrote that Crystle’s story left him in tears and he wanted to help. A woman posted the story on her Facebook page and another group of people started responding, offering to help. Another woman who earlier this year sent a cheque through KTW to a disabled couple who want to marry,

but would see their combined disability cheques cut substantially, again wrote in, wanting to do something to help the family. I could go on, but you get the point. For every horrible thing that might happen somewhere, good also keeps on occurring. For every story we sometimes have to write that makes us wonder about this world, there are stories like this one. Every single offer is wonderful, but I have to confess the folks who really don’t have that much to begin with and want to share what they do have are the ones who have brought some tears to my eyes. So, that brings us to having to connect all this kindness with Crystle and her kids. For those who want to make donations, you can do it here at KTW, 1365B Dalhousie Dr. We’re open Mondays to Fridays from 8:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. Cheques need to be made out to Crystle Booth. We’ll collect them and get them to her. Once we’ve dealt with that, then we can move on to determining what to do about actually replacing the van. Some businesses have made offers to assist and we’ve let them know how appreciated it is and we’ll be in touch. And, of course, we’ll let you all know the next chapter in this story of a brave, wonderful mom. dale@kamloopsthisweek.com kamloopsstreetlevel.tumblr.com

Back in the olden days, as they say, a voice would take control of television sets at precisely 10 p.m. and ask viewers: “Do you know where your children are?” That question is more relevant than ever following news of a disturbing crime that occurred at a weekend bush party. According to Kamloops Mounties, more than 1,000 youths converged at a popular party spot in Barnhartvale, where a 17-year-old girl was sexually assaulted. It’s a horrific crime and the person who committed it should face the harshest sentence available in our justice system. The fact a teenager’s life has been irrevocably altered should serve as a reminder to all — parents in particular — that predators know where and when to act. A bush party in the middle of nowhere, featuring a thousand kids and booze and drugs? We cannot think of a more dangerous place for young people to be. Last year, a similar massive outdoor party in the Barnhartvale area resulted in a vehicle hitting a girl, sending her to hospital with a broken pelvis. Another girl had a liquor bottle smashed over her head. And, believe it or not, parents were actually driving their kids to these parties. Nothing good can come of a thousand kids in the woods with booze and drugs. Nothing. This tragic crime on the weekend, and last year’s mayhem, should be more than enough to have every Kamloops parent tighten that leash on their teens, regardless of whether “everybody else is doing it.”

Re: Story: North Shore clinic closes: “This is yet another example of the government deciding who is important and who is not important. “The very fact walkin clinics in Sahali are staying open is proof of that. “Good plan — close the one with the most people who need doctors and leave the one open in the area where most probably have doctors or can afford to find alternative means or at least have cars to drive to the emergency room at Royal Inland Hospital. “And isn’t our ER taxed enough? “See? It’s happening again. Once the B.C.

Thank you, KTW, for delivering my free newspaper Editor: Re: The June 11 letters from KTW readers Vaughn Warren and Ashley Williams-Larose, complaining about a recent front-page Walmart ad: In Kamloops, we have choices. We can subscribe to a newspaper and pay the going rate or receive Kamloops This Week delivered to our door free of charge. Free to us does not make Kamloops This Week free.

An unfriendly shopping centre in a friendly city Editor: Beware of a trap in downtown Kamloops. When you are shopping in Lansdowne Village, they are making money with their parking lot. We are a family new to Kamloops and have just settled in this beautiful and “friendly” city, but came across a very unpleasant situation on Saturday, June 15. We usually shop in Lansdowne Village as it’s nice and quiet.

We received an expensive ticket for parking in their lot because my husband stepped foot outside the property. He finished shopping at the centre at 3:10 p.m., as shown on a receipt, but he got a parking ticket at 3:14 p.m. because he walked to the opposite side of the centre to buy an ice cream. He saw the patrolling parking-lot attendant when he returned and asked why he received a ticket. The attendant was very rude and asked my husband to look

at the regulation sign. I phoned Impark on Monday, June 17, but the staff was no help. They said the rules in Lansdowne Village are very strict and said visitors cannot leave the centre at all when parking there. I told them my son and I didn’t leave the centre at all, that my husband did. However, this is still considered a violation. I don’t feel they want to prevent the violation of parking-

lot use as much as they want to make money on violations. They are like robbers watching you step out of your vehicle. You fall into their trap and they rob you. If you don’t pay within seven days, they double the fine. There is nothing we can do about the ticket, but we can choose not to shop at Lansdowne Village any more. What a shame.

Editor: Re: (‘Chadwick helps daughter Sydney Leroux through racial abuse,’ June 6): I am very surprised some people in Canada and the rest of North America are racists to the degree that it disgusts me as an immigrant to Canada. South Africa was called racist and sanctions were forced on the people there. No sports teams from South Africa were allowed to compete in North America. The country could not import or export. It had to use its own resources to develop a very small country. South Africa had cellphones when people in the United States were still using carphones. It was funny traveling to the U.S. and seeing things that country lacked. But, the United States had the financial

strength to bring down the hammer and poke its nose in where it should not be — in so many other countries. And we are submissive followers. Let’s stand up for once and show we mean it by not allowing racism. We should support Canadian-born, U.S. soccer player Sydney Leroux and others like her by wearing banners. Most North Americans do not even know where South Africa is located, but

Psychologist says Froese attacks escalating By Cavelle Layes STAFF REPORTER reporter@kamloopsthisweek.com

A rapidly increasing crime cycle may be just one sign indicating serial rapist Jack Froese could become an even bigger threat. Lyne Piche, a forensic psychologist, said in court on Wednesday, June 18, she was concerned about the way Froeseâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s crimes were evolving, describing it as becoming more rapid and harder to detect. This would make it difficult for proper intervention to occur, she told Justice Peter Rogers in B.C. Supreme Court in Kamloops. Peters is overseeing a hearing initiated by the Crown to have Froese designated a dangerous offender. Defence lawyer Jeremy Jensen argued history has shown

Froeseâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s cycle begins with feeling loss of control, hinting limitations such as a curfew may be a trigger. This, he said, leads Froese to watch pornography, which leads to drug use and deviant sexual fantasies depicting forced sex â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and then, he commits such crimes. Jensen said evidence another crime cycle is beginning can be seen if people look for it. This would include Froese withdrawing from social circles, collecting pornography, having multiple sexual partners, reducing probation visits to the minimum allowed and other behavioural issues that have appeared in the past. Jensen noted Froese sought out prescribed drugs including ritalin from three doctors for

what he claimed to be attention-deficit disorder. However, at least one of those doctors refused to give the medication, stating he did not think Froese had the symptoms associated with the disorder. Another, Jensen said, required a urine sample before the drugs would be prescribed, something Froese refused to do. Jensen argued with proper treatment and monitoring, Froese would not have sought out drugs and this would reduce his risk to offend. Piche disagreed, saying drugs are a facilitator for the behaviours, not the cause. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If you look at the big picture, there are many other factors that are important,â&#x20AC;? Piche said, noting she thinks

too much weight was being put on substance abuse. Piche said Froeseâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s recent behaviors and past evidence show more than drugs were involved in the most recent rape, which occurred on Nov. 25, 2011. Piche said she based her concerns on a fourhour period she spent with Froese, as well as her review of his case files and other evidence. Piche noted the time period between returning to old patterns and committing rape has shortened. She is alarmed Froese said he does not remember sex-offender counselling he has received in the past, given the many months he was involved in those programs. Piche said this indicates he doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want

help. She said Froese is now planning his attacks, noting he used socks to cover his hands. He has also taken piece of clothing from his victims as trophies. Jensen argued these could be fetishes and not signs of planning attacks.

Nature’s Fare a retail dynasty By Karla Karcioglu SPECIAL TO KTW editor@kamloopsthisweek.com

Nature’s Fare Markets has won the Brock Elliot Memorial Award for Excellence in Retailing for the fourth year in a row — a first in the history of the award. The award is given to a retailer that exhibits superior product knowledge, exceptional marketing and merchandising, innovative store concept and design, active community involvement and that ethically and responsibly supports the health-food industry. Nature’s Fare, which has a store on Summit Drive in Kamloops, was presented the award at the 2013 CHFA (Canadian Health Food Association) Expo West in Vancouver. Nature’s Fare started in Victoria, with its oldest store now being in Kelowna, where it opened its doors in September 1993. When it opened, Nature’s Fare specialized in multivitamins,

but grew to offer organic and natural foods. The store now offers customers fresh, pure and healthy options — and provide local foods whenever possible. Nature’s Fare is also linked with farmers, ranchers and food artisan in B.C. Today, Nature’s Fare has stores in Kamloops, Kelowna, Vernon, Penticton and Langley. Its mission is “to ethically assist our customers on their journey to better health.” “We are very involved in the communities, we have good environmental initiatives and are strict on products,” said Chantelle Keith, Nature’s Fare marketing manager. “We are incredibly proud and honoured to have been awarded the Brock Elliot Award for retail excellence for a fourth time,” Keith said. “We believe that our success can be attributed to our amazing staff members, who are always so passionate and committed to Nature’s Fare and our

industry; to our customers, who have supported us and believed in our

that have provided us with the resources we need to succeed.”

Rent bank to get boost By Andrea Klassen STAFF REPORTER andrea@kamloopsthisweek.com

The Kamloops Rent Bank will likely get a boost of about $15,000 a year from city hall. At a workshop this week, city council agreed to move ahead with a plan to fund the program through the city’s affordable-housing reserve fund. Opened earlier this year through the Elizabeth Fry Society, the rent bank provides a one-time loan to cover the cost of rent or utilities. The loans are only available to families who aren’t living in subsidized housing or receiving government assistance, but aren’t financially able to get a bank loan. Under its current terms, the rent bank can’t provide donations to

single individuals, only families, but social and community development supervisor Jennifer Casorso said the city could ask it to broaden its eligibility criteria as a condition of support. “What they’re seeing is they’re turning a lot of single people away,” she said. Coun. Nancy Bepple said the rent bank provides a valuable service. “I have friends who have three children and while they both work, I don’t think either of them makes over $20 an hour,” she said, noting a family emergency could leave them unable to make rent. Council also looked at the possibility of using the affordable-housing reserve to fund a renovation-assistance program for landlords who have affordable rental properties.

Casorso said the program could support landlords who rent units at or just above the shelter allowance rate of $375 a month. While no criteria for the program have been set, she said a maximum contribution from the city for a roof repair or other renovation could be $150,000. At present, the reserve fund has a balance of just under $850,000.

Councillors weren’t as enthusiastic about the second idea, with Mayor Peter Milobar worrying it could deplete the small fund. “Property taxation in my mind has never really been meant to be a transference of wealth like income tax is,” he said. “I worry we could create a housing format here that we just can’t afford long term.”

FOR THE BIRDS For The Birds is an open house social presentation at Kamloops United Church on Wednesday, June 26, from 7 p.m. to 9 p.m. Twenty-five birdhouses painted by local artists will be up for auction. Visitors to the Kamloops Area Preservation Associationsponsored event can view information about Kamloops’ diverse bird population and how the proposed Ajax mine operation will affect their habitat.

Amnesty nets 17 weapons Seventeen firearms have been turned in to Kamloops RCMP this month as part of a gunamnesty program. Most were long guns passed down in families RCMP CPL. through CHERYL BUSH generations, said Corp. Cheryl Bush, and the owners don’t want them any more. Some ammunition has

POLICE BEAT also been surrendered. The program runs through the end of June. Police ask people handing in weapons and ammunition to not take them to the detachment, but to call for an officer to pick them up. The Kamloops detachment can be reached at 250-8283000.

Grand slam failure at robbing Denny’s Kamloops RCMP are investigating the attempted armed robbery of the Denny’s restaurant at 898 Tranquille Rd. on Tuesday, June 18, at about 4:15 a.m. Police said a masked male armed

with a knife entered the restaurant and demanded money, but was refused by the employee. The male then left and fled west on foot. He is described as about six feet tall, 180 pounds, between 25 and 30 years of age, with a shaved head, wearing an orange shirt and grey sweatpants. A police dog was brought in to try and track the man, but was unsuccessful.

City not going organic Curbside organic waste pickup won’t be coming to the Tournament Capital this year. Kamloops Coun. Nelly Dever grilled staff about a timetable for a citywide compost program at a workshop on Tuesday, June 18, but was told staff are tackling other waste-reduction programs first. Environmental services manager Jen Fretz said she is planning to bring a commercialrecycling program for the city to council this fall and will follow that up with a ban on recyclables for the city’s landfill next year. The city is also looking at a program to divert construction waste from the landfill. The city gets more drywall, wood and other construction debris than any other kind of waste — including organic — at the landfill.

Why are we more depressed, asthmatic? By Andrea Klassen STAFF REPORTER andrea@kamloopsthisweek.com

Kamloopsians are slightly more likely to be depressed or asthmatic than the average British Columbia, according to numbers in the city’s sustainability plan. According to 20102011 data provided by the Interior Health Authority, 27 per cent of the city’s population grapples with depression and anxiety, compared to a provincial average of 24 per cent. Asthma sufferers in the city accounted for 11.6 per cent of the population, compared to 10 per cent provincially. The city’s rate of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, or COPD, is also higher than the norm — 7.8 per cent, compared to six per cent for all of B.C.

The numbers caught Coun. Nelly Dever’s eye during an update on the Kamloops sustainability plan at a council workshop on Tuesday, June 18. “That’s pretty substantial,” she said, asking if the higher rates of asthma and COPD might be related to the city’s air quality. Barbara Berger, recreation, social development and culture manager, said the Interior Health Authority believes the numbers have more to do with a higher rate of smokers within the health region — 21 per cent of the population within the IHA’s boundaries compared to just under 16 per cent in B.C. as a whole — and other lifestyle factors. Mayor Peter Milobar thinks the city also attracts people with some

breathing issues. “A lot of times people are seeking Kamloops out because of the dryness and the air quality and things like that,” he said. Dever wants to see more information on how the IHA is getting its numbers and why it thinks Kamloops has a higher concentration of these health issues.

“It’s a similar situation to where you go through the grocery store and they say, ‘Would you like to give a dollar to the food bank?’” Lange said. She thinks most residents would say yes to a small donation to the Kamloops Food Bank, Kamloops Rent Bank or another local charity.

Donating at tax time being mulled Donating a dollar to charity on a coffee or grocery run is becoming more and more common — and one city councillor wants Kamloops to get in on the game. At a policy workshop on Tuesday, Coun. Tina Lange suggested the city give residents an option of donating $5 to a local charity as part of their propertytax bill payment.

UP P TO O

“I think if half the households in Kamloops said, ‘Yes, I’ll give $5 to help homelessness,’ that would be a huge amount of money we can leverage,” she said. Lange said she has heard of other communities running similar programs, but couldn’t remember which ones specifically.

ABORIGINAL DAY 2013

Share in celebration of aboriginal culture Members of the Tk’emlups Indian Band are welcoming the rest of the community — and region — to the annual National Aboriginal Day celebration on Friday, June 21, at the band’s powwow grounds. Setting aside a day for Aboriginal Peoples is part of the wider recognition of Aboriginal Peoples’ important place within the fabric of Canada and their ongoing contributions as First Peoples. It is an opportunity to celebrate respect and admiration for First Nations, Inuit and Métis – for the past, the present and the future. Events begin at 5 p.m. and wind up at 10 p.m. The day includes a concert with Bitterly Divine and Niska Napoleon, a moccasin mile run, face painting, bouncy castles, pit-cooking demonstration and more family activities. The event finishes with a fireworks show. For more information, contact Nacoma George (nacoma.george@kib. ca, 250-828-9775) or Michelle Nahanee (mnahanee@bcamta.ca, 778-870-5411.) The event is co-sponsored by the B.C. Aboriginal Mine Training Association. The annual National Aboriginal Day celebration at the Tk’emlups Indian Band powwow grounds will feature plenty of drumming and dancing. KTW file photo

ABORIGINAL DAY 2013

Summer solstice key element to culture While Kamloops and the rest of Canada celebrates National Aboriginal Day on Friday, June 21, it is important to note the roots of the day can be traced back almost three decades and include countless years of lobbying and pursuing the issue with the federal government. The first call for a day to recognize the culture and contributions of the many First Nations, Inuit and Métis people of Canada goes back to 1982. It was then the National Indian Brotherhood, now called the Assembly of First Nations, called for the creation of a National Aboriginal Day. Even then, there was no question as to when the event should be observed, with the group calling for the celebrations to be observed on June 21 — the summer solstice. Showing the speed, or lack thereof, with which the request was handled, the formal process wasn’t begun until 1995, when the Royal Commission on Aboriginal Peoples recommended the observance of such a day. In December 1995, Elijah Harper hosted a sacred assembly in Hull, Que., at which a national day to recognize aboriginal peoples and their contribution to Canada was discussed. Following consultations with aboriginal groups, the federal government agreed on June 21. The date was chosen because the summer solstice holds special significance for many

Wishing Everyone a Happy National Aboriginal Day!

aboriginal groups who already celebrate their cultures and heritage on that day. On June 1, 1996, just eight days before it was to be celebrated, then-governor general Romeo LeBlanc declared June 21 as National Aboriginal Day across the countr — and, 192 hours later, the first National Aboriginal Day events were held. Today, National Aboriginal Day is part of the fabric of Canada and leads the celebration of the country as June 21 flows into Canada Day 10 days later.

GLOBAL VIEWS

Of poison gas and red lines

OOL ME once, shame on you (the Taliban regime in Afghanistan helped al-Qaeda to plan the Sept. 11, 2011, terrorist attacks. We must invade). Fool me twice, shame on me (Saddam Hussein is building weapons of mass destruction in Iraq. We must invade). But, fool me three times (the Syrian regime is using poison gas against the rebels. We must help them with arms supplies)? Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s nothing left to say, is there? U.S. President Barack Obamaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s administration announced last week that it will now arm Syrian rebels, since it has proof that Syrian President Bashar alAssadâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s regime has been using chemical weapons against them. Obama clearly doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want to do this, but he has been trapped by his own words. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The president . . . has made it clear that the use of chemical weapons or transfer of chemical weapons to terrorist groups is a red line,â&#x20AC;? said deputy national security adviser Ben Rhodes, expanding on Obamaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s statement. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He has said that the use of chemical weapons would change his calculus â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and it has.â&#x20AC;? But, in a further statement, Obama fretted that it is â&#x20AC;&#x153;very easy to slip-slide your way into deeper and deeper commitments,â&#x20AC;? ending up with full-scale U.S. involvement in the Syrian civil war. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If [the arms aid to the rebels] is not working immediately,â&#x20AC;? the president pointed out, â&#x20AC;&#x153;then what ends up happening is six months from now

GWYNNE DYER World WATCH people say, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Well, you gave the heavy artillery; now what we really need is X and now what we really need is Y.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; Because, until Assad is defeated, in this view, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s never going to be enough, right?â&#x20AC;? Quite right. So, how did this very reluctant warrior wind up at risk of being dragged into yet another Middle Eastern war? By making a threat he never thought he would have to act on. Last August, faced with constant allegations that the Assad regime was using poison gas, Obama announced such an event would cross a red line and trigger U.S. intervention in the war. He was simply trying to fend off demands at home for instant intervention and made his promise in the confident belief the Syrian regime would never be so stupid as to do such a thing. Poison gas is not really a â&#x20AC;&#x153;weapon of mass destruction,â&#x20AC;? although it is technically classified as one. It is a purely tactical weapon, vastly less indiscriminate in its effects than nuclear or biological weapons. It is not even very effective in conventional warfare. It was widely used by both sides in the First World War, but was responsible for only one per cent of the military deaths in that conflict. Chemical weapons

were banned after the First World War, partly because they were horrible, but also because they made battle even more unpleasant without producing decisive military results. Despite occasional subsequent uses â&#x20AC;&#x201D; by Egypt in Yemen in the 1960s, by Iraq against Iran in the 1980s â&#x20AC;&#x201D; the ban has mostly held ever since. It would clearly help the rebel cause in Syria if they could prove the Assad regime was using chemical weapons. On the other hand, it was most unlikely the Syrian regime would actually use its chemical weapons. It has such weapons, of course, like practically every other country in the Middle East, but using them would have no decisive effect in the kind of war it is fighting against the rebels. It would simply give the rebels a better argument for demanding foreign military intervention against the regime. So, 10 months ago, when he made his â&#x20AC;&#x153;red lineâ&#x20AC;? statement, Obama was confident Syria would never cross it. It would be particularly foolish for Syria to use poison gas in the manner now alleged: in small amounts, in four relatively unimportant places, causing 100 to 150 deaths. It just doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t make sense â&#x20AC;&#x201D; militarily or politically. In all likelihood, Obamaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s calculation remains correct today: Assadâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s regime has probably not used chemical weapons. Yet the American intelligence services, or at least some of them, are telling him this has indeed happened. Why would they do that? They may have just been sucked in by the

FOR OWNERSHIP OR RENTALS

steady flow of rebel allegations that Assadâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s troops are using poison gas. Even good analysts can succumb to the line of thinking that holds that if thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s enough smoke, then there must be fire. You think that canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t happen? Remember Iraq? It can happen especially easily when the analysts or their superiors want it to be true. Rebels in Syria have been losing all their battles recently, undermining the widespread conviction in American government and media circles that the fall of the Assad regime is just a matter of time. So the desire grows in those circles to reverse that trend by helping the rebels directly. Even if Obama does not believe the intelligence he is being fed, he cannot reject it openly and he is shackled politically by his ill-advised â&#x20AC;&#x153;red-lineâ&#x20AC;? commitment of 10 months ago. All he can do now is talk a tough line, while dragging his feet as much as possible on actual action. gwynnedyer.com

Ten Souljers marching for RIH Foundation By Monisha Martins MAPLE RIDGE NEWS

mmartins@mapleridgenews.com With a top hat on his head, Marty Robson looks the part of a circus ring master â&#x20AC;&#x201D; a general set to march his troops into shape. He admits he can sometimes be singleminded, but itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s that focus that has propelled Ten Souljers to its status as a sought-after dance band. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If you want to be successful,â&#x20AC;? says Robson, â&#x20AC;&#x153;thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s what you have to do.â&#x20AC;? Featuring three horn players, five vocalists and one of the best rhythm sections in Vancouver, Ten Souljers is a band with lots of soul. Robson honed his musical and vocal skills with the U.K. cover band Rock the Monkey, but found it hard to give up the stage when he moved to Canada for love. When he formed Ten Souljers in 2004, Robson made his ambitions clear to every musician and singer who signed up â&#x20AC;&#x201D; he wanted the band to become the top events group in Canada and beyond. Robson believes heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s achieved that with the bandâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s current lineup, featuring himself, Karina Morrin and Dâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;arcy Han on lead vocals; Scotty K. Jones on drums; Lee McDonough on guitar; Matt Reid on bass; Karlo Martin on keyboards; Jim â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;The Reverend Hopperâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Hopson on trombone; Anton Schamberger on tenor saxophone; and Malcolm Aiken on trumpet. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I believe hand on heart that there is not a better band out there,â&#x20AC;? he says.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;When we are cooking and our rhythm section is tight and those girls are singing to their full potential, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m telling you it does not get any better.â&#x20AC;? Ten Souljers began as a soul and R&B outfit, similar to The Commitments. Robson soon pushed the band to expand its repertoire to land them more work. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If you pigeonhole yourself to one genre of music, you are not going to work a lot,â&#x20AC;? says Robson, who runs his own company, Vantastic Event Entertainment. From contemporary hits by Flo-Rida, Pit Bull and the Black Eye Peas and rock anthems by AC/ DC, Kiss and The Kings of Leons to old classic by Neil Diamond and Tina Turner, Ten Souljers have no trouble getting a roomful of people â&#x20AC;&#x201D; of any age â&#x20AC;&#x201D; on their feet. Being a band leader is being a good manager, a

good listener and at times an expert juggler. Robson can shrink the band down to a jazz trio, a background quartet, a six piece or nine piece. â&#x20AC;&#x153;All musicians are passionate. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s just how you channel that,â&#x20AC;? he says. With an infectious stage presence and loads of talent, Ten Souljers have no trouble booking gigs. Their client list includes some of the biggest corporate names in B.C. and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s evergrowing. However, Robson makes sure the band gives back. For the past four years, the band has played at the Ride to Conquer Cancer. In February, Ten Souljers played a gig for B.C. Childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Hospital, where Robson was the key note speaker. Robsonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s speech about his three-year-old daughter Kaija Maeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s

life-saving intestinal surgery hushed the room. Guests initially donated $1.1 million but, when following the call-out for cash, B.C. Childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Hospital Foundation pulled in a record-breaking $2 million. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s exactly why Robson and Ten Souljerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s play charity gigs like this weekendâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Royal Affair in Kamloops. He likes paying it forward. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If you donate your time or reduce your fee, it will come back to you,â&#x20AC;? he says.

EXCLU

Mental Health News this week

HROUGH Kamloops This Week, we take pride in being the first to tell people in Kamloops what is happening in the area of mentalhealth research and discoveries. Today we look at some of the items we are following closely as mysteries of the mind unfold: • Mood Disorder Brought On By Infection?: Investigators have found the risk of being diagnosed with a mood disorder increases by nearly two-thirds if a person had been admitted to hospital with an infection. The study, published in JAMA Psychiatry, is the largest of its kind to date to show a clear correlation between infection levels and the risk of developing mood disorders, which include clinical depression and bipolar disorder. • Testosterone Seems To Help Women Fight Dementia: In a new study, post-menopausal women on testosterone therapy showed a significant improvement in verbal learning and

memory, offering a promising avenue for research into memory and aging. Dementia is more common in women and men and is believed to affect more than 35 million people worldwide as of 2010. As there are no effective treatments to prevent memory decline, testosterone has been implicated as being important for brain function in men and these results indicate it has a role in optimizing learning and memory in women. • Children’s Sibling Spats Can Damage Mental Health: As if parents needed another reason to stress or feel inadequate, new research suggests sibling aggression may lead to poor mental health among children and adolescents. Sibling aggression, or fights between siblings, is often dismissed as simply being a part of growing up with brothers or sisters. Yet a new study

from researchers at the University of New Hampshire finds sibling aggression is associated with significantly worse mental health in children and adolescents. In some cases, effects of sibling aggression on mental health were the same as those of peer aggression. To keep all this in perspective, all stresses can lead to emotional difficulties and children learn many skills through these stressing situations. Support and guidance from parents during tumultuous flareups are the key to good mental health. • Brain’s Urgency Response Now Used To Influence Masses: Some social psychologists are starting to worry out loud that many areas of our life today are focused on tricking our brains into a state of urgency. From TV headlines screaming “breaking news!” to how our phones are configured,

everything plays to a sound or blinking light that tells our brain this is something we need to pay attention to right now. Twitter, Facebook and other applications are designed to give you instantaneous feedback, which can be rather addictive. In short, this phenomenon is being used to market every kind of product or service and to convince people a headache relief that acts “faster” is “better.” Advice from the experts is to slow down and bring balance and reason into play on all aspects of our lives. Consider supporting our Ride Don’t Hide event this weekend and get outside for some fresh air and fun. Details can be found on our website at kamloops.cmha.bc.ca or by calling CMHA Kamloops at 250-3740440.

Thanks for reading our column and remember to follow us on Twitter @CMHAKamloops and to send us your suggestions to Kamloops@cmha.bc.ca because we always love to hear from you.

Dr. Bruce Tucker is pleased to welcome

Dr. Marcio Barros to his dental practice. Dr.Barros was born in Sao Paulo, Brasil, the middle child of three brothers. His passion for dentistry began at an early age, when he spent much of his learning about the profession from his mother’s dental practice. It was there that he began to learn the traits of compassion, dedication and self discipline which would aid him in his own efforts to become a dentist. Upon graduation from the University of San Paulo in 1991, Dr. Barros completed a three year orthodontic programme. In 2006 he moved to Canada to continue his studies and in 2011 completed the International Dental Degree Completion Programme at the University of British Columbia. Dr. Barros recently graduated from UBC with a Doctorate in Dental Medicine. Although he worked as an orthodontic specialist for over 15 years, he was grateful for the additional training he received UBC’s state-of –the-art clinic. Dr. Barros will continue to practice orthodontics as well as general dentistry in his new ofﬁce in Kamloops.

MERVIN IRWIN CHERTKOW May 8,1929 – June 15, 2013 Merv was born in Drumheller, Alberta on May 8, 1929. He was predeceased by his parents Israel and Leah Chertkow. Survived by his loving wife Jean of sixty years, daughters Soretta Sharples (Geoff), Georgia Toevs (Michael) granddaughter Emma Jean Toevs and son Ron, one sister and numerous nephews, nieces and cousins. Merv was raised and educated in Saskatoon, graduating from the University of Saskatchewan in 1949 with a B.A. Degree. He entered law school at U.B.C. in 1949 as a member of the R.C.A.F. University Reserve Training Plan and graduated with an L.L.B in 1952. After completing his obligation to the Air Force, and as a commissioned officer in the Reserve, and trained in military law he was seconded to Germany to replace the unavailable Judge Advocate. He spent four months involved in numerous prosecutions including several District Courts Martials. He returned to Vancouver in 1953 and continued his association with the RCAF Reserve as a Relief Intelligence Officer on the weekends at the Jericho facility in Vancouver. He subsequently became a member of the G.Roy Long law firm in Vancouver and in 1959 opened a branch office in Kamloops then went on his own in general practice with several partners over the years.

He was President of the Arbitrators’ Association of B.C from 1989 to 1992. Merv was active in both Federal and Provincial politics and was a member of the B.C Liberal party from1969 to 1975 holding several executive positions.

Cowgirls set Wyoming course By Marty Hastings STAFF REPORTER sports@kamloopsthisweek.com

OOKIE JOE, SQUIRT, HR BLUE DENIM, ICE, DUMP TRUCK, GUNNY, RIP, SPUR AND SHIVER. They’re names fit for bandits, but they belong to horses ridden by four local cowgirls who, it just so happens, are as thick as thieves. Rachel and Samantha Kerr, Vanessa Leggett and Maddy Mills will represent Kamloops on Team B.C. at the U.S. National High

School Finals Rodeo, which runs from July 14 to July 20 in Rock Springs, Wyo. “They’re best friends,” said Pat Kerr, grandmother to Rachel and Samantha. “They grew up together. They share everything.” The Kerrs and Leggetts live just a short horse ride away from each other in Cherry Creek. Listening to Vanessa tell childhood stories, pointing to the spot on the Kerrs’ scenic property where the old trampoline once stood, there was no doubting what each of the girls

told KTW — “We’re family.” Maddy and Vanessa graduated this year from South Kamloops secondary. Rachel will don the cap and gown next year, with Samantha, the youngest of the bunch, heading into Grade 10 at South Kam. For as long as the girls can remember, days at school have been followed by long evenings of practise at the ranch — and the quartet often spends weekends together on the road. With Rachel and Vanessa planning to attend California

Polytechnic State University next year, those days are numbered, and the 2013 U.S. Nationals — billed as the biggest rodeo in the world — will mark the last time all four girls compete together at the Rock Springs event. Vanessa, entered this year in barrel racing and pole bending, will be in the crosshairs of her adversaries, having claimed the 2012 barrel-racing title. That accomplishment, it could be argued, makes her the best high-school age female on the planet in

that event. Her challengers will be many, with more than 1,500 cowboys and cowgirls from 41 states, five provinces and Australia expected to attend. “There’s a little more pressure,” said Vanessa, her impossible-to-miss belt buckle augmenting an outfit worthy of a cowgirl champion. “It’s pretty easy to go in as a nobody and surprise everybody. “Everybody is going to be watching me this time. It’ll be a little more intense, but it will be fun.” X See RODEO A28

After scheduling issues made it tough to set a press-conference date, it was suggested interviews for the fifth annual Kamloops Minor Hockey Association (KMHA) summer goalie camp be conducted over the phone. Organizers were having none of it — the message needed to be relayed in person. “When something is in your own backyard, you tend to stay away from it because, ‘How good could it be?’” said camp instructor Dan De Palma, the Kamloops Blazers’ goaltending coach. “Well, this is an excellent camp and people should come.” KMHA head coach George Cochrane said organizers have never

done a particularly great job of advertising the camp, which runs from Aug. 5 to Aug. 9 and is part of the Francois Allaire Program. McArthur Island Sport and Events Centre is camp headquarters. André Larouche, former TRU WolfPack goaltending coach, wanted to set the record straight. “There is misinformation out there from other camps, saying, ‘Oh, they don’t advertise and it’s kind of a second-tier camp,” said Larouche, whose connection with Allaire is how the camp originated. “Well, it’s not second-rate. We don’t try to have 200 kids. We have 36 maximum. We have a lot of knowledge. We just want to share it.”

Rodeo bloodlines key to quartet’s success X From A27

More recently, the 18-year-old won the pole-bending and barrelracing events at the 2013 B.C. High School Rodeo Association (BCHSRA) Finals, held earlier this month in Quesnel. Vanessa’s rodeo expertise should come as no surprise considering her bloodlines. Her mom, Julie, tours professionally, specializing in barrel racing. The Kamloops rodeo community will have no trouble recognizing the Kerr name, either. “My late husband, Raymond Kerr, was the national director for the province [BCHSRA] for 20 years,” Pat said. “After he passed away, I took a hiatus until these girls started to go to nationals and I feel honoured that I can travel with them now.” Raymond would no doubt be proud of his grandchildren.

Rachel was the allaround champion at the 2013 BCHSRA Finals and will compete at U.S. Nationals in goat tying, cutting, breakaway roping and pole bending. For Samantha, qualifying for U.S. Nationals as a 15-year-old highschool rodeo freshman is a feat in itself. The younger Kerr sister earned spots in the barrel-racing and polebending events. This year, Maddy was the BCHSRA’s AllAround Cowgirl after finishing atop the overall season standings. Breakaway roping and pole bending are the events she will compete in at U.S. Nationals. She credits her dad, Mike, for much of the success she’s had. “He taught me everything I know about it,” Maddy said. “I like how it’s just you out there, not depending on anyone else.” Each of the girls push

each other, but there are no heated rivalries — not even of the sibling variety. “You’re there to cheer each other on,” Rachel said. “You don’t care if they do better or if you do worse. We give each other advice. It’s just really nice to share something with your sibling that you love so much.” Vanessa and Rachel have been attached at the hip for years and that likely won’t change at California Polytechnic, which offers a rodeo program. “It’s cool to have a best friend that you can get better with,” Rachel said. “You definitely push each other to strive to do better. Without that support from your friends, you wouldn’t get as far.” The Mills-KerrLeggett convoy will be Wyoming-bound in July — and the travelling

party will be hard to miss. “It’s going to be massive,” Vanessa said. “Last year, we painted the truck up and put all these signs and all this crazy stuff on it. “We’re going to be going down the road and people are going to be like, ‘Who are these people?’” The gang will ride north after the Rock Springs rodeo, with the Canadian High School Finals Rodeo slated to run from July 25 to July 27 in Nanton, Alta. “When you go to a rodeo, it’s like you’re reunited with your whole family because everybody shares their one love and passion together,” Rachel said. “It just makes you closer.”

Cowboy up Cole Churchill of Westwold also qualified to compete at U.S. Nationals.

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

instructors check their egos at the door and share ideas about how to operate in the crease. It’s that collaboration that has helped provide options for camp graduates such as Reimer, Scrivens and Kamloops Blazers netminders Taran Kozun and Cole Cheveldave. “For me, the biggest secret to teaching goaltenders is not going with a blueprint,” De Palma said. “If we all went out and played goal, we’d all play goal differently — and we should. Physically we’re different. Mentally we’re different. “At our camp, we provide options.” The goaltending situation in Canada is not as dire as many might think, agreed each of the camp organizers at the press conference. There is col-

laboration between coaches in the Great White North — and Kamloops area goalies can benefit from it right on their own doorstep. “You think about what’s happening with goaltending in Canada,” De Palma said. “It’s becoming a really heavy jersey. Really heavy. You think of young men now — they’re trying to play the position, and all they hear is ‘Our goaltending stinks.’ And ‘World junior goalies choke.’ And ‘Everybody’s choking, our goalies aren’t as good.’ “The jersey’s getting pretty heavy on these kids, so we have to find a way to get their boots on and work, develop the right values and habits and make the jersey a little less heavy.”

Toronto Marlies goaltending coach Jean-Ian Filiatrault — who has worked with current Maple Leafs goaltenders James Reimer and Ben Scrivens — is the camp’s main instructor. The camp, for male or female goaltenders from novice to midget, costs $575 and includes a jersey. Register online at kamloopsminorhockey. com. Also included in the price, instructors said, are one-on-one experiences with professional coaches that are tough to find at other camps. “It’s the personal attention you can’t get anywhere else,” Cochrane said. “Every single kid feels valued.” De Palma said the camp offers a fresh approach to coaching

between the pipes. “I think sometimes where we’ve let down kids over the years is we haven’t let them have enough fun,” said De Palma, who has learned from some of the best in former Edmonton Oilers netminder Bill Ranford and Vancouver Canucks goalie coach Roland Melanson. “It’s a hard enough job and there can be enough pressure as it is. Yes, there’s work to be done, but it’s fun.” The camp is split into sections, allowing for instruction to vary depending on where the goaltenders are in their development. Local dryland expert Greg Kozoris, a former goaltender, will provide off-ice training, augmenting 10 hours of on-ice practise. Campgoers will also receive video analysis. De Palma said

THIS WEEK

Kamloops has the best summers in Canada. Ipso facto, Kamloops has the best patio weather in Canada.

And, now that patio season is upon us, KTW is giving you the lowdown on the best outdoor dining and drinking spots the

Tournament Capital has to offer. Reporter Cavelle Layes and photographer Dave Eagles spent time during

the last two weeks putting together this comprehensive listing of some of the most popular patios in town. There are the well-known

staples — Storms, Hoodoos and the like — and some darkhorse decks you might not even have known existed.

There’s more inside Turn to Page B9 to learn about even more local patios, including Milestone’s, Carlos O’Bryan’s, On the Rocks Pub, Black Iron and Prestons.

Overlooking the Thompson River, the ANAVETS patio has excellent atmosphere in the middle of North Kamloops’ business district. The patio at Brownstone Restaurant on Victoria Street is a peaceful oasis in the middle of the busiest part of Kamloops’ downtown.

HIDDEN GEMS IN THE CITY CENTRE Discover some of Kamloops’ hidden patios, tucked out of sight, but each a treasure of their own. If you are looking for something a little different than your typical everyday lunch menu and are in the mood for highend cuisine, the natural space at Brownstone Restaurant is an ideal choice. The hidden patio, while not huge, provides a nice intimate getaway from the hustle and bustle of city life and is filled

with trees, plants and a small herb garden the restaurant uses to grow some of its ingredients. The Brownstone’s signature lavender-infused iced tea is a refreshing take on an old favourite, while its spinach salad provides a light yet filling lunch, with large prawns sautéed to perfection and served over a bed of spinach and covered in a creamy feta-dill dressing. Those finding themselves with a sweet tooth can request the dessert sampler, which fea-

tures a trio of delectable eats. The centre patio provides a much-needed midday escape from city life, while those who prefer to people watch can have a front-row view from seats along the sidewalk. Also tucked out of sight but definitely worth the visit is the Scott’s Inn and Restaurant’s patio, located near Prince Charles Park. Scott’s menu features homestyle cooking fit for the family and at a reasonable price.

THE GREAT ESCAPE If you are looking for a pitcher of cold beer and a breezy patio for those hot summer days, Kamloops has you covered no matter what side of town you are on. The ANAVETS patio was once available only to members but, luckily, is now open to the public. Located at the old Beach House location on Tranquille Road, the area is quiet but busy with regulars and newcomers alike — and has a sense of history throughout. While it does not yet have

a full kitchen in operation, ANAVETS does serve up some soup and sandwiches throughout the day, as well as a Friday night dinner. The patio is not large, but does give a sense of intimacy. Patrons can sip on a cold pint while taking in the riverside views, which include boaters, hikers, ducks and other shoreline wildlife. The sounds of the lapping water and slight breeze provide a nice escape from the hot summer sun.

Celebrate Saint Jean Baptiste Day Saint Jean Baptiste Day celebrations will take place in Kamloops on Monday, June 24. The event is hosted by the Kamloops Francophone Association and all are welcome to head to the Rotary Bandshell in Riverside Park to enjoy a free concert by Elea and Her Boys, a Vancouver band fronted by Elea Saunier. The celebrations will start at 6 p.m., with the band taking the stage at 7:30 p.m. The Kamloops Francophone community celebrates Saint Jean Baptiste Day each year, but this is the first time it has expanded the celebration to include other people in Kamloops. In addition, the day will be celebrated in elementary schools that have students studying French. The name Saint Jean Baptiste refers to St. John the Baptist, the Christian saint and prophet whose feast day is celebrated on June 24. The Baptist was named the patron saint of French-speaking Canadians in 1908, but festivities surrounding his feast go back centuries before that.

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

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

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

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

SCORPIO – Oct 24/Nov 22 It’s time to make a few new friends, Scorpio. Joining a club or group can get you together with like-minded individuals and provide the opportunity to know others. SAGITTARIUS – Nov 23/Dec 21 Sagittarius, some people are masters at skirting the system, but you are not one of them. Before taking the easy route, think about the consequences.

GEMINI – May 22/Jun 21 Gemini, an estrangement has you feeling a little lonely. Bury the hatchet and start reconnecting with that special person you miss. Pisces provides some encouraging words.

CAPRICORN – Dec 22/Jan 20 Capricorn, you have been pondering an important decision for some time now. It’s ﬁnally time to take the plunge. Don’t worry: The results will be well worth the effort.

CANCER – Jun 22/Jul 22 Cancer, think about all the things you have to get done, and then push them aside. This is a week to put your feet up and simply enjoy the moments as they come.

AQUARIUS – Jan 21/Feb 18 Reminiscing about old times can bring a smile to your face, Aquarius. But unless you are going to revisit the past, it won’t do much to dwell on what might have been.

LEO – Jul 23/Aug 23 Think about someone else when you are asked for your advice on a situation. Instead of wondering what you would do, consider what this other person would do.

PISCES – Feb 19/Mar 20 Take a few moments to make a priority list, Pisces. Because with so much time on your hands, you’ll have opportunity to do things.

VIRGO – Aug 24/Sept 22 Virgo, a clash of personalities leaves you with a little pent-up anger. Simmering over the situation won’t help, so it’s better if you just leave well enough alone. LIBRA – Sept 23/Oct 23 Libra, there’s not much to worry about this week so you’re free and clear to have a good time. Make the most of social situations with friends or a special someone.

Climate Showdown champs The Kamloops Chapter of the BC Sustainable Energy Association (BCSEA) has announced this year’s winners in the Climate Change Showdown program, a partnership between the City of Kamloops and the BCSEA. Top-scoring students were honoured by city council. Students learned about climate change in class and then worked on contest actions with their families over a four-week period. They reduced greenhouse-gas emissions by eating local foods, turning down the thermostat, taking shorter showers and turning off the lights. The Joy Bouwmeester / Giorsa Campbell Grade 3/4 class at Beattie School of the Arts achieved

AFTER NINE, STAY AND DINE

The patio at Hoodoos at Sun Rivers Golf Resort.

Most of Kamloops’ golf courses provide great patios for a relaxed afternoon meal with friends — it’s just a matter of choosing which one suits you best. If you’re looking for a great place to dine after a day full of activities, then Hoodoos has the patio for you. With comfortable, lounge-style seating mixed with more traditional tables, Hoodoos is a great space to dine after a round of golf.

PUB FARE Take in the starry nights on Carlos O’Bryan’s fourth-storey patio, which gives diners a new view of Victoria Street while indulging in a plate of the famous pachos. The patio at the Noble Pig downtown provides a large space to sip on some house-made brews while watching local shoppers go by. This space provides some privacy from the downtown area, while highlighting all the benefits. Sample a few beers or order a pitcher of your favourite. Tackle some wings and sip some beer from the patio at McCracken Station Pub. Located just off the Trans-

Canada Highway in Valleyview, it’s perfect for a quick stop on your way in or out of town. Tumbleweeds Pub is located a short distance from Pineridge Golf Course and is ideal for those want to get away from the city. With a pub-style menu, cold beer on tap and a relaxing patio, Tumbleweeds makes for a great pit stop. Take in some entertainment while you relax on the patio at On The Rocks Pub in Aberdeen. With events like beach volleyball taking place right in the parking lot, you never know what to expect. Try a cold pint or a sweet cocktail while sharing an appy with friends.

Located at Sun Rivers Golf Resort, diners can take in a beautiful view of the city or watch as golfers try their best to nab an eagle on No. 18. The Vue, located in the new clubhouse at The Dunes at Kamloops Golf Course in Westsyde, not only allows for a quick bite close to the fairways, but has spectacular views and is open year-round. The patio at the Ridge Cafe allows those

golfing at Pineridge Golf Course a quick escape while enjoying a scenic view of the South Thompson River. The patios at Black Iron at Tobiano come with a menu to impress, featuring dishes reflecting an infusion of Mediterranean, Mexican and Latin influences and are made with fresh local ingredients — all overlooking the award-winning golf course and Kamloops Lake.

PATIOS WITH A VIEW Whether it is a riverside view or rolling hills you seek, Kamloops patios have what you are looking for. The newly renovated Prestons patio offers more spacious seating than most decks — and a view that can’t be beat. Though it is not completely covered, Prestons’ patio, located in The Coast Kamloops Hotel and Conference Centre on Rogers Way, does have an overhang that provides some shade from the sun and a little escape from the occasional shower. The perch overlooking the Thompson Valley provides stunning views and a relaxed atmosphere. While the decor is simple, there are tables for larger parties, as well as singles, and its seclusion from the rest of the restaurant provides a sense of privacy. City View Grill, located in the Ramada Inn on Columbia Street, provides a rooftop patio with a spectacular view overlooking the Kamloops landscape and a family-friendly menu.

Prestons’ patio overlooking the valley.

Milestones’ patio is located close to Aberdeen Mall and is the perfect stop after a day of shopping or before taking in a movie. Its location on top of the hill allows for a scenic atmosphere while dining. Storms on the River’s patio, located right on the water, provides panoramic views of the South Thompson River. Storms’ diverse menu has everything you want, from drinks to delectable eats.

FAITH

Fathering the fathers in a post-modern world

ATHER’S DAY 2013 came and went without any major boom (this column is delayed by a week because of a processing difficulty, but is, hopefully, still relevant). The role of Canadian fathers in the family has seen colossal changes in the last half-century or so. In the past, fathers were outsiders when babies were born. The man’s role used to be to chauffeur the expectant mother to the hospital, wait outside the delivery room and pass out cigars when the doctor declared mother and child were in good health. When babies are born today, fathers are expected to be in the delivery room to feel the release of emotion in the birth experience with the mother. He waits to experi-

NARAYAN MITRA You Gotta Have FAITH ence the joy as well as the bawling on seeing the new life come into the world. Being a parent today also means the dad playing an active role in the daily physical and emotional lives of his children. This new code of behaviour means the corporate warriors are supposed to go home to be with their children. And mothers, while still keeping the homefires burning, also have to work outside the home for economic survival, as well as

to advance their own careers. If men are competent to parent, what stops them from engaging in more family work? While many men might want to be more involved, they have not been prepared for extensive roles in parenting — either through family socializing or formal education. In our post-industrialized culture, getting back to the involved father role involves an act of pioneering for most men. Men must figure out how to balance breadwinner and nurturer roles and bring up the next generation with values that will serve the kids well. This requires a leap not only in conscious attitudes and behaviours, but also the implicit gutlevel assumptions about what is appropriate for the children. What does the church

have to say to men today that would help them make the leap into fatherhood? The most important resource for helping men become caregiving fathers is probably sitting right next to him in the pew. Some pre-parenting support at the church and community levels could help both parents to prepare. Changing behaviour by helping men realize the benefits to their own psychological health is a good first step for churches to take. Not only do men who are involved in day-today care of children reap real benefits, but their children are helped by male nurturing as well. Benefits for such children of caregiving fathers are well documented. Fathers provide a distinct model of male behaviour for children,

which is different from that of mothers. Children who have a caregiving father have advantages over those with traditional fathers. Adjusting our perceptions to how families work does not necessarily mean altering the church’s doctrine or the biblical theology. However, discovering how the community that the church serves has changed might call for adaptation of style and behaviour. Taking the time to consider what we can do to help individuals meet new expectations would make our congregations a place of leadership in the community. Patterns help predict the future. The future includes men with their children. And that is good news for husbands, wives and children. Being relevant to busy couples who want

to put family first means helping them move beyond the traditional role models of the 1950s and move with the new needs of the family in the 21st century. Having church leaders who are aware of the importance of men in childrearing would help in the understanding of new patterns. If the church updates the caricatures of families past with realities of families today, it would give the church the opportunity to continue to influence the future. narayanmitra@ hotmail.com KTW welcomes submissions to its Faith page.

g Pest Treatment Options Have a landscape you can feel good about: Preventing pests initially is the best way to maintain plant health. However, pests and plant diseases do exist and sometimes need to be managed. Choose pest control methods that are least hazardous. Try the following strategies:

. .. .

Companion Planting Techniques to Manage Pests in Your Landscape Use host companion plants like Nasturtiums and small flowered plants to attract beneficial insects. Use companion plants as traps to distract or draw pests away. Rose gardeners use Geraniums. Use repellent companion plants like Marigolds to drive pests away.

.. .. .. .

Other Alternatives Replace pest-prone plants with pest-resistant varieties. Prune out infestations. Install pest barriers and sticky traps. Wash aphids and spider mites off your plants with a strong stream of water. Try a Btk spray (natural occurring bacteria) for caterpillar pests. Buy ladybugs to prey on pests like aphids, spider mites, mealybugs and other pests. Try an acetic acid spray for weeds in patios, pathways, and sidewalks.
