THE STORY OF ‘EVIL’ By Tim Petruk STAFF REPORTER

tim@kamloopsthisweek.com

As you are reading this, Jack Froese is sitting in a jail cell somewhere. Maybe he is still at Kamloops Regional Correctional Centre, waiting to find out to which federal penitentiary he’ll be shipped off to begin serving his indeterminate sentence behind bars. Maybe he is at the Regional Psychiatric Centre in Saskatoon, where he spent time — and received failed sex-offender treatment — following a rape in 2004. Or, maybe he is at one of the dozens of other federal institutions between B.C. and Nova Scotia. What is undeniable is that Froese is an “evil” person — that word was uttered by B.C. Supreme Court Justice Peter Rogers last week when he labelled the 33-year-old a dangerous offender, making it a distinct possibility he will die before ever spending another day outside the walls of a prison. What is also undeniable is that the Nov. 23, 2011, rape of a Kamloops woman — the horrific crime for which the Crown sought Froese’s dangerous-offender designation — could have been prevented. Kamloops This Week was the only media outlet to apply successfully in B.C. Supreme Court for access to the psychiatric and probationary reports on Froese entered as exhibits during his dangerous-offender hearing. The stacks of documents tell the story of an evil — to once again use the judge’s words — and sadistic serial rapist who showed no remorse for any of his victims, and one who deserves to be locked away for good. But, the documents also tell the story of a deeply troubled man who could have easily been behind bars — as he is at this very moment — when the November 2011 rape took place and irrevocably changed the life of an innocent woman.

Number of staffers making $100K nearly doubles from 2011 to 2012

This is the story of Jack Froese, which continues in the Tuesday, July 9 edition of KTW. ‘RAPE FANTASIES’ When Jack Froese was released from a Calgary jail in May of 2011 and decided to take up residence at his mother’s house in Valleyview, Kamloops Mounties went out of their way to make sure everyone knew just who was coming back to town. Police issued a rare public-safety bulletin including Froese’s picture, a brief description of his crimes and a list of strict conditions he was to follow. Froese had served the entirety of his Alberta sentence — eight months, after more than a year in pre-trial custody following a domestic dispute with his live-in girlfriend — so he wasn’t on probation or parole. Instead, authorities told the career criminal he would have to agree to live under conditions if he wanted to be in Kamloops. Froese signed a Section 810.2 peace bond on May 13, 2011, in Abbotsford, after being shipped from the Calgary Correctional Centre to a federal institution in B.C. Short of setting up a 24-hour detail on Froese, Kamloops RCMP did everything in their power to make sure he was following his conditions to the letter of the law, knocking on his door nightly — sometimes more than once — to ensure his 11 p.m. to 6 a.m. curfew was being satisfied. Given that determination on the part of police, the beat cops who were tasked with knocking on the Froese family’s door were likely looking for any excuse to drag him to jail. And they did. More than once. Just two days after moving in with his mom, on May 17, 2011, Froese was picked up by Mounties on suspicion of drug possession and assault. Those charges were later stayed.

Kamloops city councillors aren’t the only ones at city hall having their pay hiked based on provincial averages. Senior managers with the City of Kamloops took home an extra 15 to 20 per cent in pay last year, the result of a multiyear increase meant to bring their salaries in line with counterparts in other municipalities. According to the city’s 2012 statement of financial information, parks, recreation and cultural services director Byron McCorkell received the biggest bump of any top-level manager, going from $151,587 in gross pay — which includes taxable benefits like vehicle and parking allowances and MSP and life-insurance premiums — to $185,803 for 2012, an increase of more than $34,000. David Duckworth, former public works director and current head of corporate services and community safety, made about 15 per cent more in 2012, going from $154,970 to $178,095. Finance director Sally Edwards also got an 18 per cent pay bump. In 2012, she earned

SALARY

SURVEY BYRON RON MCCORKELL: MCCORKELL 2012 salary was $185,803, compared to 2011 salary of $151,587, due in part to cashing in unused vacation days.

SALLY EDWARDS: 2012 salary was $176,587, compared to 2011 salary of $148,624.

DAVID DUCKWORTH: 2012 salary was $178,095, compared to 2011 salary of $154,970.

$176,587, compared to $148,624 the year before. City CAO David Trawin said increases for directors were approved under previous CAO Randy Diehl. “We look at all the management salaries every couple of years and compare them across, just like they’re doing in council right now, comparing them with other communities,” he said. That was done two years ago as Diehl prepared to retire. The resulting survey found most managers with the city were making salaries in line with other communities of similar size — except for directors and the CAO. Trawin said it’s council policy to pay man-

agement a “middle of the pack” salary, noting council of the day agreed to bump up directors’ wages. “What was developed to avoid sticker shock was an increase to move them up over a two- or threeyear period,” Trawin said. The first increase took effect in July of last year. Trawin said not all directors’ salary increases are permanent. McCorkell in particular was paid more because he cashed out much of his vacation time in 2012. Similar payouts bumped up now-retired corporate services director Len Hrycan’s salary by about $40,000 in his final year with the city. Trawin said a corporate restructuring is also responsible for some of the pay increase given to Duckworth and McCorkell. Duckworth’s department now looks after information and technology services for the city, which was formerly a finance-department project. Likewise, the parks department took over facilities management and much of the city’s corporate-sustainability file from the public works department. X See TRAWIN A6

Mounties identify victim of homicide By Dale Bass STAFF REPORTER dale@kamloopsthisweek.com

The men were sitting in the day room of the New Life Mission just west of the downtown core, just as they do most days. They didn’t want to talk about the man they knew as Mike — but they know his body was found and police are treating it as a homicide. Beyond that, it just wasn’t something they wanted to discuss. On Wednesday, July 3, Kamloops RCMP released the name of the 32-year-old man whose body was found last week under Overlanders Bridge, on the north side of the Thompson River. Michael Irving

The body of 32-year-old Michael Irving Young, also known as Michael Hauk, was found under Overlanders Bridge on Thursday, June 27. Dave Eagles/KTW

Young, also known as Michael Hauk, was the victim of an apparent murder. Aside from his name, Mounties are not releasing much else, including cause of death or whether there are suspects in their sights.

Cpl. Cheryl Bush did say the public need not worry as, based on the investigation, police know the death was an isolated incident. And, as police continue their work, staff at the ASK Wellness Centre are contributing in their own way, providing support for, as executive director Bob Hughes described it, “people who have been affected by this.” Hughes said police contacted the Tranquille Road agency looking for help after Young’s body was found at about 7:45 p.m. on Thursday, June 27 Hughes said the agency was eventually able to provide police with information to assist in the identification.

A new trial has been ordered for Robert Balbar, a Kamloops man who admitted to killing his common-law wife, Heather Hamill, 10 years ago. Balbar’s second-degree murder conviction has been overturned by a three-justice panel of the B.C. Court of Appeal. Balbar was convicted in October 2009 in the death of Hamill, 31, whose body was found near Indian Point on Aug. 1, 2003. She is believed to have died on July 28, 2003.

Charter rights at issue in voir dire By Dale Bass STAFF REPORTER dale@kamloopsthisweek.com

With just three years working the streets as a Mountie — and handling his first major investigation that involved fatalities — Kamloops RCMP Const. Mike Penman said he was overwhelmed. And that emotion the officer talked about in B.C. Supreme Court in Kamloops this week remained a point of questioning as defence lawyer Sheldon Tate walked the officer through the things he did and didn’t do on the morning of March 20, 2010, as Penman came upon an accident in North Kamloops. The officer was giving evidence during a voir dire (a trial within a

trial to determine admissibility of evidence) to determine if the trial of Wayne Fedan should proceed on two counts each of impaired driving causing death and dangerous driving causing death. The 52-year-old was charged after the accident that killed Brittany Plotnikoff, 20, and her boyfriend, Kenneth Craigdallie, 38. The three had been together at a party just hours before Penman was notified of an erratic driver. The voir dire is being heard by Justice Deborah Kloegman of Vancouver. Tate has asserted Fedan’s rights under the Charter of Rights and Freedoms were breached by Penman. Under questioning by Tate, Penman acknowledged he had been taught

at the RCMP training depot in Regina the proper procedures to follow when advising a suspect they were being detained or charged and that the process involved reading from a Charter card. The document includes all relevant legal language afforded a suspect under the Charter, including the right to retain counsel without delay and the right to consult with counsel in private. In addition, if the suspect chooses, the officer can provide the phone number of a 24-hour legal-aid duty-counsel service. Penman acknowledged he did not give all those details when he advised Fedan of his rights, relying on his memory of the details of the card.

How in debt are we? Let the clock count the ways in Kamloops . . . By Andrea Klassen STAFF REPORTER andrea@kamloopsthisweek.com

It’s not fitted with an alarm, but the Canadian Taxpayers Federation’s B.C. debt clock can still act as a wake-up call. “Most people, when we show them the clock, are shocked,” said CTF’s B.C. director, Jordan Bateman, who will accompany the clock to Kamloops next week. “During the election, there was a lot of talk about a debt-free B.C. and we’re excited by that,” Bateman said. “Any time paying down government debt is on the agenda, we’re very supportive of that. The problem is, I think there’s a lot of misconceptions as to exactly what

He also acknowledged he failed to give Fedan a secondary warning, another detailed review of Charter rights that is given to a suspect if it is not clear if any other officers have already spoken with the person. It is designed to address anything that might have been said by an officer earlier that could be viewed as a promise, threat or other coercion. Penman said when he arrived at the scene of the accident in the 700-block of MacKenzie Avenue, a truck had rolled, Plotnikoff was on the ground and Craigdallie was still in the vehicle. Fedan had been placed on a stretcher by paramedics. Penman agreed with Tate’s description of the

vehicle as a truck that “was torn open like a tin can” and said the scene was chaotic, with various emergency personnel on site. “The whole totality was overwhelming,” Penman testified. The voir dire is expected to conclude this week. If the trial proceeds, it is scheduled for next year.

The B.C. Taxpayers’ Federation’s provincial debt clock, which this week is at $57.5 billion, will be in Riverside Park on Monday, July 8, where, between 12:30 p.m. and 1 p.m., Kamloops residents can watch the red ink (in the form of red digits) grow by $215 per second.

kind of trouble we’re in.” A week before it was due to roll into the Tournament Capital, the clock had the province’s debt at $57.5 billion, which amounts to more than $12,000 per person in B.C. “We’re adding a billion dollars every quarter to our debt,” Bateman said, which the CTF calculates is about $215 every second. By 2016, Bateman said the provincial debt will sit at $70 billion if left unchecked. “We’re going in the wrong direction,” he said. “We’ve got a lot of money that we owe and need to deal with.” Bateman said the B.C. Liberal track record on debt hasn’t been promising so far. Instead of reducing, the party

has about doubled the debt load. However, he thinks Premier Christy Clark’s plan to start a debtrepayment fund using oil and gas revenues is a good idea. “That’s what Alberta did in the ‘90s,” he said of the province that declared itself debt-free in 2004. Besides that, Bateman believes British Columbians need to change their expectations of government. “Government can’t afford to solve every single problem we have in this province,” he said. “We need to make sure that we’re putting money aside for high-priority projects that will promote economic growth and expand the economy overall.” The clock comes to Riverside Park on Monday, July 8, from 12:30 p.m. to 1 p.m.

Bepple tops expense list; Wallace ﬁles $0 By Andrea Klassen STAFF REPORTER andrea@kamloopsthisweek.com

While most Kamloops councillors stayed well under their expense allotments in 2012, two cracked the $5,000 allotment for travel. The city’s statement of financial information shows Coun. Nancy Bepple leading the pack with nearly $8,400 in claims, while Mayor Peter Milobar claimed $5,045 in expenses. Bepple, who sits on several committees of the Federation of Canadian Municipalities, said her expenses are mainly related to those trips. Besides the FCM’s annual convention, she

claims expenses for three other federation meetings each year, she said. “It’s airfare plus hotel fares for three or four days and, no matter where you go in Canada, it’s similar prices,” Bepple said, though she wasn’t sure what the rough cost of one trip for FCM would be. Bepple said her travel numbers also included a trip to the Southern Interior Local Government Association’s (SILGA) conference and the Union of B.C. Municipalities 2012 convention. Bepple said she doesn’t attend UBCM every year, but decided to opt in for 2012 because

there were motions “of interest to Kamloops” up for debate. She’ll be skipping that conference in 2013. Bepple believes her higher expenses are justified by the benefits Kamloops gets for being part of FCM, including federal infrastructure funding commitments the lobby group secured. “Myself or Mayor Milobar or councillor [Marg] Spina are on provincial and federal committees representing the city and it’s important to have our voices there at the table,” Bepple said. Spina, who claimed $3,100 in expenses in 2012, became president

of SILGA earlier this year. After Bepple, the next-highest councillor claim was Coun. Arjun Singh’s, at $4,345. The lowest was made by Coun. Pat Wallace — who didn’t claim any expenses in 2012. Wallace said she has cut down on her travel since an accident several years ago left her with a leg injury. Several nasty bouts of the flu also helped keep her close to home. The former UBCM president, who was made a lifetime member of the organization, said she doesn’t feel the need to attend conferences unless there is a chance

to hear a particularly interesting speaker or take a workshop that

really piques her interest. “Unless it’s really great, I’m not that inter-

ested in spending the time and the taxpayers’ money,” she said.

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.

The starting salary for new public works director Tracy Kyle was adjusted down because of the narrowed responsibilities, Trawin said. When Edwards retires from finance in the next few years, her replacement will also take home a smaller salary. Trawin said the raises likely won’t be popular with the public, but he thinks they make sense. “To me, those are very important positions in the organization

in terms of what they get paid,” he said. “When you’re looking at some departments having $30- and $40-million budgets, you screw up one per cent of that budget, which is easy to do, and there’s $400,000 right there.” Overall, the city’s payroll increased from $49.8 million in 2011 to $52.7 million in 2012. The number of employees making more than $100,000 nearly doubled — going from 35

Missing data, missing answers By Cavelle Layes STAFF REPORTER reporter@kamloopsthisweek.com

Last week, Sue Paish, president of LifeLabs, apologized to patients on behalf of the company after a security breach was made public. A LifeLabs computer hard drive dedicated to printing electrocardiogram reports went missing after a computer from Kamloops was sent to Burnaby to be reconfigured. The missing hard drive contains personal information of 16,100 patients in the Kamloops area. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have been in business 50 years and this is the first time that we had a situation like this,â&#x20AC;? Paish said. However, one Kamloops man whose personal information is included on the missing hard drive, said a simple apology is not enough. He wants answers. The man, who wishes to remain anonymous, has had a lengthy career in computer programing and security and began working in the field of database securities for one of Canadaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s leading banks in the 1960s. The recent breach, along with a number of other recent security

issues, have him worried. He questioned why it took so long for the company to alert the public about the breach, noting the hard drive went missing in January. Paish said an â&#x20AC;&#x153;extensive investigationâ&#x20AC;? failed to find the hard drive. Paish said LifeLabs is confident the hard drive was not taken for the information, but rather to be used as parts. If information on the hard drive was sought, Paish said, there is only a small chance it could be accessed. She said patient information is protected by two layers of security â&#x20AC;&#x201D; a high-level password and proprietary software. The Kamloops datasecurity expert still has questions, including the type of password referred to, noting it could simply mean a simple password to boot up the system. The data-security expert wants to know if there was encryption in place and, if not, why not? He also wants to know how the proprietary software was made. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Microsoft access is often used to write proprietary programs,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Anyone can use a runtime version of that program and access that data.â&#x20AC;?

He also wants to know what protection there is against someone using a hex-editor to access information on the drive. The data-security expert said both pieces of hardware were not worth much money and wonders why someone would go through so much effort for parts. KTW contacted LifeLabs to relay the data-security expertâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s questions, but Paish has been unavailable for comment this week. â&#x20AC;&#x153;One thing that this situation has allowed and required us to do is to review all those operating procedures to ensure we have upgraded and intensified every element of procedure,â&#x20AC;? Paish said last week. Paish also pointed out last week that LifeLabs has no legal requirement to report missing patient information within any specific time period, but did eventually report it. If your personal data is on the missing hard drive, more information can be found online at http://www.lifelabs.com/ PrivacyBC. You can also call 1-855-306-4900 between 8 a.m. and 8 p.m., Mondays to Fridays, and email privacybc@lifelabs. com.

Reminiscing on the glory days

ROUND THIS OFFICE, I’M ONE OF THE OLDER ONES. Sure, there are a couple of folks here who have a few more months on me but, for the most part, well, let’s just say I have shoes older than a lot of my co-workers. Which made it particularly neat to be the youngster for at least a few hours earlier this month during a trip back to Ontario. Every Thursday, a group of retirees from the London Free Press, the place where I started out in this journalism business and put in more than a quarter-century, gets together at a really old bar downtown to throw back a pint or two and relax. In journalism schools throughout this land, professors are teaching about the history of this craft, about the old days, hot lead, press passes, newspaper clippings, copy boys (yes, we called them that because yes, that’s what they were) and multiple deadlines. An afternoon with these self-proclaimed old geezers would accomplish just as much education, liberally laced with laughter. First, it was neat to be considered “the kid” again, a moniker I was given on my first day in the newsroom, when several of the reporters there recognized me — my dad had worked in sports there for a time — and took great delight in having someone around who was so young she couldn’t even get a drink at the bar at the press club across the road. The bartender had known me since I was in diapers. The Thursday gathering began as many do when years have passed. I smiled at a man who came in and sat down, thinking I recognized the voice, but wasn’t sure of the face. He smiled back and turned to his buddy to talk about the baseball game. He looked my way again.

DALE BASS Street

LEVEL I smiled. He smiled. He turned to the TV. I turned to my iced tea. I said, “Hi Bill.” He said hi and turned away. I said, “Bill, it’s me, Dale.” He said . . . well, removing the expletives, it was a very big hello. Eventually, more came in — the lifestyles and entertainment editor I worked with for more than a decade, our head graphic artist, a couple of photographers, an editorial writer and a few more. And the fun began. Apparently, the old plant no longer has staff in the lobby. You have a circulation problem, you have to phone a number that rings in a call centre in Barrie, Ont. Want to put in an ad? Call another number and get another call centre in Quebec, one of them opined. No, it’s in Thailand, another insisted. Still another thought it was in the U.S. Didn’t really matter where, though. The point is nobody is in the lobby. Shameful. Did I hear they have actually shrunk the front-page copy and run ads all around the edges, like a picture frame, they asked? Thank heavens I didn’t stay there long enough to see that happen. The size of the newsroom entered the discussion.

“Hey, kid, remember when there were 180 of us in the newsroom? “Guess how many are there now?” I came close. I said 40. The geezers debated, but finally came up with not that many, but more than 30. Sad nods of acceptance followed from each of them. Back to the stories, anecdotes about the escort who would come in to place her ad and how she upset the woman in the lobby with her “well, you know, the way she described her services,” one recalled. There was the appropriate moment of silence for one of our number who died on the job when the helicopter he was in crashed. “It was an airplane,” one argued. “No, dummy, it was a helicopter. Kid, you were there when the call came in. What crashed?” Typical reporters — get the facts right. They wanted to know about KTW, about what I do. Am I one of those journalists (insert sneering sound) who tweets, does that Facebook thing and takes her own photos? Well, um, yes, I admitted. Although the boss here has accepted the fact I can’t get a photo in focus at all. And I cover more than one beat, as well as writing this column, I told them. To a person, they couldn’t imagine covering many subjects and doing the job “the way it should be done.” I tell my kids I come back to London to see them and the grandkids — and that’s a big reason for flying across the country. But, just as important is the chance to sit and listen to these old geezers who, years after they have left the business, still care so deeply for it — and wonder what happened to it. dale@kamloopsthisweek.com

David Trawin, the city’s CAO, said substantial raises given to senior managers likely won’t be popular with the public, but he thinks they make sense. He is likely dead-on with the former comment, while his latter assertion will probably be met with some challenges from an electorate that has just been hit with the highest tax hike in about a decade — 3.55 per cent — and continues to pay more for an assortment of municipal, provincial and federal services that are labelled “fees” rather than “taxes.” When the average family in Canada earned about one-third than what was paid to the city’s parks director last year, it is to be expected such raises will not be popular among residents. In a recent column, Dermod Travis, executive director of IntegrityBC (integritybc.ca), took issue with the ages-old argument that cities must offer high salaries to attract the best and brightest. Travis highlighted a list of obscenely high salaries and perks paid to municipal employees in the Lower Mainland, noting at least 30 officials in the communities that make up Metro Vancouver earn a base salary that put them among the top one per cent of all income earners in Canada. He then pointed to Halton Hills, Ont., the 88th largest community in Canada, where the CAO makes $151,000. Port Coquitlam, Canada’s 89th largest city, pays its CAO $209,000. Travis also noted Calgary, with almost twice the population of Vancouver, pays its CAO $40,000 less than its Pacific Coast counterpart. Trawin noted senior managers in Kamloops manage huge budgets and are tasked with great responsibility. This is true. But, we would be remiss if we didn’t mention the private sector is full of workers carrying great responsibility, though it is unlikely many enjoy annual pay increases in the tens of thousands. There is fair compensation and there is fairness to taxpayers. The city should always keep that in mind when spending the people’s money.

Re: Story: Medical pot back at council: “The foundation of constitutional law says cannabis for medical purposes should not have barriers of access — and this can only be achieved by licensing all existing compassion clubs and their suppliers because they are the ones already growing and distributing 70 per cent of patients with quality cannabis. “For us patients, losing that access will be a infringement on our rights to access and possess our medicine.” — posted by Bob Carter

Some on council living high off the hog on my dime Editor: Comments from Kamloops councillors Nelly Dever and Tina Lange that voters had not emailed them with complaints concerning councillors’ pay raises got my attention. Not being computer literate, I did not know where to go to find email addresses, but I did contemplate calling city hall to find out. I agree with all who wrote to voice their concerns and I will remember on election day 2014 which coun-

cillors voted for raises. There are many people in this city on fixed incomes and many more who work two jobs just to get by, yet Nancy Bepple and company are complaining as if they were destitute and need more of my tax money, which seems to be more every

year. Just trying to pay my BC Hydro bill each year is getting to be a major accomplishment. It seems this new crowd, with the exception of Ken Christian, is out of touch with the common folk of Kamloops. We don’t bitch and

moan about how little we have or who has more than us in another city; we are simply grateful for what we have and have no hesitation to share that with other less fortunate people in our city and beyond. Maybe the council crowd at city hall

should check the food bank lineups once in a while for a reality check because they are out of touch with all the seniors and others in those lines, all of whom struggle to cover city councillors’ pay raises. It seems some city councillors expect to live high off the hog on my dime. Like Marg Spina said, she knew the pay scale when she entered the election race less than two years ago.

Probation ofﬁcer knew of pornography X From A1

Froese was back in jail less than two months later after breaching his curfew. He pleaded guilty and was handed a 46-day jail term. He was released from custody on Aug. 17, 2011. There were other incidents, as well, including a call to police on Sept. 30, 2011, after Froese was found loitering at a Kamloops gymnastics club. Police probably would have arrested him again if they knew — like one justice official did — he was in breach of one of the conditions proven time and again to be a major trigger in his re-offending.

Prior to the Nov. 23, 2011, kidnapping, drugging and sexual assault of a 39-year-old Kamloops woman, Froese was using pornography — contrary to the peace bond he signed in Abbotsford months earlier. Not only was he using it — he admitted it to his probation officer. Bernice Hammett knew her client — a documented psychopath labelled time and again a high risk for violent sexual re-offending and someone who doctors had noted was triggered criminally by lewd material — was looking at porn.

But, given his criminal history at the time and the close tabs being kept by local police, such a breach would have brought with it a somewhat lengthy jail term. ‘A PROBLEM CHILD’ Jack Samuel Froese was born in Saskatoon on May 20, 1980, but spent much of his early childhood in the Yukon where his father endeavoured to “live off the land,” as he recounted to psychologist Lyne Piche during an in-custody interview last summer. When his mother grew tired of the northern lifestyle, she split from Froese’s father X See DRUG USE A13

last month, court heard Hammett felt it was better he relieve his sexual tension with pornographic aid than roam the streets in heat. So, she turned a blind eye. While delivering his decision to label Froese a dangerous offender last week, B.C. Supreme Court Justice Peter Rogers said that decision by Hammett was not to blame for Froese’s reoffending weeks later. “It is not reasonable to say Mr. Froese’s attack on [the victim] was somehow to blame on his lack of supervision,” the judge said, directly referencing Hammett’s decision.

STUDENT OF THE MONTH TALIA “I'm pretty happy with Student 1st. At first I will admit that as a mother I was apprehensive about my daughter going door to door selling chocolates but the fact that the youth are paired up and the team leader is close by them at all times has given me assurance and I respect that. My daughter has grown as a person tremendously since selling with Student 1st. She's not as shy, her grades have gone up, she's learned how to handle money, she's motivated to make as many sales as she can to win the monthly prizes. As a parent, these developed skills makes me feel great. What's even greater is she's not sitting on the couch watching T.V. or playing video games day after day, There's not many Summer jobs available for youth 12-15 years old. I highly recommend Student 1st Chocolates as a part-time job for your preteen/teen, they make their own spending money, and they learn sales skills.” Jessica (Talias moms) Please support our kids 1-855-(KID WORK) when you see them in the community.

“Fresh, Healthy, Local”

COVER PAGE STORY

Drug use began at age 12 X From A12

and eventually settled in Kamloops. The elder Mr. Froese would later wind up back in Saskatoon. In his youth, Jack Froese was shuffled back and forth between his mother and father, sometimes spending time in foster care as well. He told Piche he enjoyed the “adventure” of travelling back and forth between parents. He also told her he was sexually assaulted as a child by one of his father’s friends. That unstable and apparently unsafe upbringing made for a tumultuous time for Froese beginning in his teenage years. Froese’s criminal history began as a youth, at age 13, when he was arrested twice for property offences — one shoplifting charge that was later stayed and a residential break-in at the home of a female friend. On Dec. 4, 1993, after

both of those incidents, Froese was living with his father, his father’s girlfriend and his half sister. That’s when he had his first encounter with law enforcement for an alleged sexual offence. Piche devoted two paragraphs of her report to the alleged incident. “He was suspected of sexually assaulting his half sister,” she wrote. “Mr. Froese was babysitting and his father and the victim’s mother returned to find him sitting in the living room with his pants down, wearing swimming trunks and having an erection. “The victim was standing directly in front of Mr. Froese. “According to file information, Mr. Froese denied doing anything to his half-sister. She was under two years of age at that time.” Piche said Froese reiterated those denials during her

interview with him. He was never charged in relation to the alleged sexual assault of his half sister. In her report, Piche made it clear Froese’s time with his dad was not beneficial. “I was always a problem child,” he told Piche. “I learned how to steal while living with Dad.” According to Froese, his best years were between the ages of 15 and 17 — time he spent living with his mother and stepfather. Froese’s education ended after Grade 9. Some psychiatric reports state he was expelled, but he denied it. According to Piche, Froese was bullied in school — in part because he moved so often but also because of a significant stutter in his speech during childhood. Froese was 12 years old when he began using drugs — first marijuana and later crystal meth and heroin, among others.

DONNA MAE REID

DEANIA ZEREBESKI

May 22, 1931 - June 19, 2013

April 8, 1944 – June 25, 2013 Kamloops, BC

Donna passed away peacefully in Kamloops on June 19, 2013 at the age of 82 years. She will be dearly missed by her husband of nearly 20 years, Dick Reid, her daughters Diane (Peter) Zell and Mairi Claire (Blair) Pigeon and her stepdaughters Mary Ann McLean, Donna Reid and Helen Reid (Wes Allan). She will be lovingly missed by her grandchildren, Andrew (Yuri), Graham, Allison, Jacqueline and Rachel as well as by her stepgrandchildren, Roberta, Owen, Reid, Ryan, Corrine and Michael. She will be fondly remembered and missed by her twin brother, Ross Styles (Kamloops), and her sister, Helen Moffat (Prince George). Donna was predeceased by her only son, Lorne, in June 1982 and by her sister, Edna Moyer, and her brothers, Gordon Styles and Grayden Styles. Along with her twin brother, Donna was born at home in Prince George to her parents, Eddy and Clara Styles. Their two older sisters were delighted to each have a baby to cuddle and the twins were a special part of many celebrations in the small town. Donna made friends easily and enjoyed happy and carefree days - skating with her Dad in the winter and camping with her friends in the summer - as she grew up in Prince George. When she graduated from high school, she moved to Victoria and then to Vancouver where she worked as a bookkeeper and enjoyed a busy social life. As a skilled seamstress, she was always fashionably dressed and used the same Singer sewing machine throughout her life. Donna met Dan Campbell on a blind date in Vancouver and they were married in September 1955. They lived and raised their children in Kamloops, England, Iran, Calgary and Vancouver and Donna quickly made friends and became involved in these new communities. Eventually, Donna moved back to Kamloops where she began a new career as a real estate agent. At the Century 21 ofﬁce, she met Dick Reid and they were married in August 1993. Over her life, along with raising her children, Donna was active and involved in many activities and organizations. She was a bridge player, curler and golfer as well as a member of The Order of the Eastern Star Adah Chapter No. 16, The Daughters of the Nile Vesta Club #13 and the Kamloops United Church. Donna always believed that we should look after those that are less fortunate than ourselves and she did just this in many quiet, kind and compassionate ways throughout her life. A Celebration of Donna’s Life will be held on Monday, July 8 at 1 p.m. at the Kamloops United Church located at 421 St. Paul Street. The family gives a special thank you to Diane Lee for her care and friendship of Donna over the past few years. In lieu of ﬂowers, please make a donation to a charity of your choice.

It took a lot to extinguish the spirit of Deania Zerebeski but on June 25, 2013, cancer got the edge against her nearly indomitable will. She is survived by her loving husband, Orest, her children, Kevin and Laura, her grandson Jack, as well as countless friends and family who will all feel her absence so profoundly that not even her favorite Elvis ballads can articulate the loss. She was that special. Deania was the eldest of Steve and Elsie Burachinski’s three children. She was raised in Thunder Bay, Ontario, with her siblings Ronnie and Deborah. Her father was a millworker and her mother was a housewife who always told Deania to get an education and support herself. She did. She became a nurse and graduated from McKellar Hospital School of Nursing in 1965. Deania was the first “Day Float” nurse at Royal Inland Hospital, which meant that she was dropped in where the need was greatest, usually to the tough wards like ER, Psych, ICU, and Pediatrics. Every day she faced the storm of people coming in on the very worst days of their lives and she cared for them and healed them with her huge smile, feisty spirit, and determined certainty that everything was going to be okay. This is the woman you wanted looking down at you on your stretcher. She had a big grin. It was the first thing people noticed about her, though if you had a Y chromosome you might also be struck by the bright colors and low-cut shirts she favored. She was the archetypal awkward adolescent who grew into a full-lipped hourglass-figured knockout. Orest, her husband of 46 years, is a deservedly proud and lucky man. He proposed marriage in 1966 overlooking where the North and South Thompson Rivers meet. They lived as happily ever after as people do in real life: lots of friends, a wonderful community, two mostly great kids, financial ups and downs culminating in a blissful term in Jamaica before returning to build their dream house in Kamloops. They traveled the world and felt it all. It was a great life. She made friends easily. She could melt the coldest stranger into talking, just for sport. She looked so much like Carol Burnett that people would sometimes ask for autographs. She adored underdogs and sad stories about strong people. She cheated at cards and golf when she thought she could get away with it. As a point of respect, her family asserts that she never cheated at curling and gave her all to the curling community, her teammates, and especially her opponents. She was keenly interested in tales of survival and the human spirit but was more often a participant. She made the worst smelling popcorn and the best borscht in the world. She was as competitive and stubborn as she was compassionate and fearless. She burned with the fire of her own existence. One of her maxims was “the world doesn’t owe you a living” but the living owe her the world. No one wanted to see her go. She was so loved. Services will be held at Schoening’s Funeral Home on Friday, July 12 at 1 pm followed by a Celebration of Life at the Kamloops Curling Rink. Should friends desire, donations to cancer research in Deania’s name would be appreciated.

I found a penny today Just lying on the ground But it’s not just a penny this little coin I’ve found. “Found” pennies come from heaven That’s what my Grandpa told me He said angels toss them down Oh, how I loved that story . He said when an angel misses you They toss a penny down Sometimes just to cheer you up Make a smile out of your frown So don’t pass by that penny when you’re feeling blue It may be a penny from heaven That an angels tossed to you.

Oh Great Spirit ... Oh Great Spirit Whose voice I hear in the wind Whose breath gives life to the world Hear me I come to you as one of your many children I am small and weak I need your strength and your wisdom May I walk in beauty Make my eyes ever behold the red and purple sunset Make my hands respect the things that you have made And my ears sharp to hear your voice Make me wise, So that I may know the things you have taught your children The lessons you have hidden in every leaf and rock Make me strong, Not to be superior to my brothers But to be able to Àght my greatest enemy — myself Make me ever ready to come to you with straight eyes So that when life fades, as the fading sunset My spirit will come to you without shame.

Sun Peaks sizzles Mountain-biking and motorbiking enthusiasts might want to make their way to Sun Peaks Resort this weekend for a pair of events. The Global FMX Freestyle Motocross Show will run on Saturday, July 6, and the Canada Cup Downhill mountain-biking circuit stops at the resort on Sunday, July 7. Featuring former X-Games athletes, the Global FMX show runs from 5 p.m. to 6:30 p.m. on Saturday in Bento’s parking lot. Go online to sunpeaksresort.com/globalfmx for more information. The Canada Cup race is also a BC Cup event, which will feature elite and citizen classes, and all the action will play out in the Sun Peaks Bike Park. Go online to sunpeaksresort.com/canadacup to register. The races will run from 11:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Sunday.

Hockey League affiliate — will also be at the camp, which gives the NHL squad’s prospects a chance to strut their stuff. Needham has dealt with criticism of his size, being 5-foot-10ish and not expected to grow, and he would have liked to have a better 2012-2013 WHL campaign, in which he finished with one less point than he recorded the season prior. Needham will have every opportunity starting in September to prove his doubters wrong. “Over the last three years, it’s more so been those third- and fourth-

line roles. Now they’ve [Needham, Ully and Chase Souto] got to step up and start contributing in bigger ways,” Blazer head coach Dave Hunchak said. “Whether that’s topsix minutes, whether that’s on the power play, penalty kill or four-onfour scenarios, those are now becoming our go-to guys.” There is no doubting Needham’s versatility. He can play in any scenario. The Blazers also believe he has leadership qualities and he might well wear a letter come this fall. “I’m really excited for next season,” said

Needham, whose role will expand greatly should over-agers Lipon or Colin Smith stick with professional teams. “I just want to take things to the next level and get my confidence up.” Needham has been training this off-season in the Peach City with fellow WHLer Jagger Dirk, working on becoming faster and more explosive. The son of former NHLer Mike Needham would love to follow in his father’s footsteps and Hunchak said there are opportunities lying ahead. “I don’t think not being drafted at 17 is

the end-all be-all,” the Blazers’ bench boss said. “It’s a process. You see lots of real good players get drafted at 18 or 19 — case in point is JC Lipon. “With the draft now being only seven rounds, NHL teams have to be very selective in what they’re trying to do with their teams.” The draft, Needham said, is now in the rearview mirror — he’s got bigger fish to fry. “I’m just looking forward to having another successful season. I want to be more of an impact player and make a difference in games.”

Matt Needham was fishing with family on Vancouver Island during the NHL Entry Draft on Sunday, June 30, trolling the Internet periodically, hoping to land in The Show. The Winnipeg Jets reeled in JC Lipon, 19, in Round 3, two rounds before the Dallas Stars netted Cole Ully, 18. His Kamloops Blazers teammates realized their dreams, but nobody bit on Needham, 18. “It’s huge motivation,” said Needham, who plays centre for the Blue and Orange. “Nobody really wanted to pick me, so it gives me some incentive to prove them wrong. It’s a little spur to keep pushing me.” The Penticton product wasn’t expecting to be drafted, but, “there was a chance,” Needham explained, “so I was still hoping somebody would take me.” Quickly quelled was the draft-day disappointment when the stocky centreman received a call from his agent, who told Needham he had been invited to attend the Dallas Stars’ development camp, which runs from today (July 4) to Wednesday, July 10, in Frisco, Tex.

Armstrong back in golden form Dylan Armstrong is on a roll heading into the IAAF World Track and Field Championships, which get underway in Moscow in August. The 32-year-old shot putter from Kamloops came through in the clutch on Monday, July 1, at the Vancouver Sun Harry Jerome Track Classic in Burnaby, reaching 20.67 metres on his final throw to claim gold. Armstrong leapfrogged American Kurt Roberts, who had held

the lead with a 20.45metre toss. Justin Rodhe and Tim Nedow, both Canadians who train in Kamloops, were each able to muster tosses of 19.92 metres. Armstrong told the Vancouver Sun he has not felt this fresh in years, with the news he will likely receive retroactive Olympic bronze lifting a weight off his shoulders. He finished fourth at the 2008 Olympic Summer Games in Beijing. Andrei

Mikhnevich, the Belarusian athlete who won bronze, has been caught for doping and stripped of the medal, meaning Armstrong is expected to earn a belated podium finish. Armstrong is now in Switzerland for a Diamond League meet before zipping back to B.C. in time for the Victoria Track Classic on Vancouver Island on Friday, July 5. After the Friday meet, Armstrong will return home to train with Anatoliy

Bondarchuk at the National Throws Centre. “I feel very, very fresh right now,” Armstrong told the Sun. “I haven’t felt this fresh in many years. That’s on my side. That’s why I’m so excited to get into this next training phase.” Armstrong also won gold at the National Track League Edmonton International Classic on Saturday, June 29, throwing 20.47 metres to finish first.

Heat’s four-game winning streak snapped at home The Kamloops Heat blew a 3-0 lead and lost 5-4 to Coquitlam-based Khalsa Sporting Club in Pacific Coast Soccer League men’s Premier Division play at Hillside Stadium on Saturday, June 29. The loss snapped Kamloops’ four-game winning streak. Justin Wallace scored a hat trick and Kyle Fertile added a single for the home team, but Adam Dodgson of the Kamloops Heat protects the visitors refused to give up the ball under pressure from Chris Craveira of Khalsa Sporting Club in Pacific Coast Soccer and scored two late goals to League play at Hillside Stadium on Saturday, seal the victory. June 29. Allen Douglas/KTW “This was a wild one,” but we weren’t prepared to pay Heat head coach Sean Wallace the price.” said. Khalsa and Kamloops are both “We certainly deserved the tie,

7-3-1 and tied with 22 points for second place in the league. The Heat, who have not yet clinched a playoff berth, are hosting Coquitlam Metro Ford SC on Sunday, July 7, at Hillside. That tilt gets underway at 3 p.m. Meanwhile, the Heat women are also in the hunt for a playoff spot in the PCSL women’s Premier Division. Kamloops was tied for third with a 5-3-5 record heading into a tilt with Okanagan FC of Kelowna at Hillside on Wednesday, July 3.

Dogs dumped in ﬁnal The hometown Kamloops RiverDogs came close to snapping a 12-year winless streak at the Daley and Co. Canada Day Classic, but were thumped 8-0 by the Langley Jr. Blaze in the championship final on Monday, July 1. Kamloops lost its first game of the tournament and rattled off four victories in a row — including a 10-5 win over Red Deer in the seminal round — before falling apart in the title tilt, which was played at Norbrock Stadium in sweltering heat. The Blaze jumped out to a 3-0 lead after one inning of Monday’s final and held a commanding 6-0 lead after the

second inning. Jackson Lowes started on the mound for the RiverDogs, giving up three earned runs in one-plus innings of work. Connor McKenzie entered the game in the second inning and allowed two earned runs in five innings of action. Danny Hollins was on the mound for Langley. The RiverDogs, who earned $300 for winning silver, recorded only three hits, with Lowes, Isiah McDonald and Brennan Hegel doing the damage. Kamloops opened the tournament with a 5-2 loss to Calgary PBF, but bounced back with victories over the Edmonton Cardinals,

‘Beattie is more than just a high school’ By Claire Irvine VALEDICTORIAN BEATTIE SCHOOL OF THE ARTS

Hello everyone and good evening. I would like to quickly thank Trustee Wade and Dr. Sullivan for coming out tonight. I would also like to congratulate Beattie’s graduating class of 2013! Beattie is more than just a high school. It is a place where all of the found puzzle pieces come to create a beautiful and diverse masterpiece. We come to create art. We come to learn through our passions. And, we come to create relationships that teach us to be ourselves. Learning through the arts is universal. Oxford Dictionary defines art as “works produced by human creative skill and imagination.” Whether your discipline is visual arts, dance, music or drama, you are learning through the all-embracing interests of art. Beattie incorporates these four main categories of the arts into our curriculum and I would like to shine a light on how we har-

ness creativity. Music is everywhere. It can cheer you up, change your life and help you through those rough times. I can remember, at our Pineridge campus, sitting outside at lunch and we would have someone playing guitar, and the rest would sing along — and those were the best lunch hours. In our music classes, not only do we learn theory and unity, we express our innermost feelings and abilities. We use our “creative skill.” Here, we are keeping the talent of music alive. Using music we can create other art forms, such as dance. Dance is the freedom of movement. It promotes self-esteem for individuals and requires poise, grace

and great control. I have noticed, in others and myself, the confidence it brings knowing you can hold your frame with such composure and create enjoyment for others to watch. Being six feet tall, it was easy for me to slouch — always trying

to be at the same level as my peers. Once I started dancing, I began to hold my height with much contentment. Dancing is a physical art that we undertake — and, on the other spectrum, we have visual art. Visual art has many

different elements. There is drawing, painting, sculpture and digital art as the main foundations, but there are so many other aspects of art that visual artists explore. For example, mixing all of these mediums to create a single piece of art is a medi-

um of its own. During our years here, we learned to be thoughtful artists, to use rhythm and balance along with harmony and contrast. The principles of art are just as important as the passion and spirit we that we embody in our work

and will benefit the many life experiences and careers we will encounter. The world around us is very visual, from advertisements to how we dress, and it is very apparent that the principles of art are everywhere. X See BEATTIE B3

NorKam reﬂections on teachers, friends and McD’s By Samuel Couture and Melissa Pietramala VALEDICTORIANS NORKAM SECONDARY

Sam: Good evening parents, families, friends, staff, guest speakers and, of course, all of us graduates of 2013! Thank you all so much for coming. I hope everyone is having a good night tonight because I know we are. It’s such a privilege and honour to stand before you all and be the valedictorians of our graduating class; it warms our little hearts. Melissa: Congratulations on our long, sometimes painful, thirteen years of school that we have all made it through! Our commencements ceremony is the very definition of what we are set out to do. It is the beginning of the most valuable transition of our lives as it is a time of big decisions that will be the determining factors to our future. High school graduation is such an important milestone that many of us have spent our childhoods dreaming of. Today is the day we finally gain our individual independence and are released to pursue our dreams. Sam: There are a lot of things we are going

MELISSA PIETRAMALA: ‘A job well done to us all.’

to miss, mostly all the hard academics. I’m just joking; few of us are going to miss getting up at eight o’clock in the morning to do mindboggling schoolwork for five hours. We all have had our special moments in high school that we will remember and cherish for the rest of our lives, whether it was with our friends or with our teachers. It’s safe to say that we are all going to miss these last three years of our lives here at NorKam. All of us will sooner or later look back and laugh at all of the shenanigans we experienced together. Melissa: Most of all, we all have had someone who has motivated us along our journey. They are the teachers in our lives. We have had many teachers. Our school teachers taught us a2+b2=c2 and to never begin a sentence with

“and,” our parents have taught us our values and our friends have supported us. They have all been our teachers. I would be lying if I said that we are not going to miss our lovely staff at NorKam. The teachers and staff at our school put forth great effort to give us the best education that they can provide. Their high standards, that often demoralized many of us when we handed in work that we were so proud of, but received a near passing mark, taught us to be greater students and forced us to push our boundaries. Sam: They have gone above their regular duties as teachers and counsellors and guided us, whether in class, on the court or field or on stage. Although they indeed are our teachers, friendships have been formed with the

Beattie students taking all they learned into the real world X From B2

Drama helps us to experience, feel and present other’s thoughts and feelings. To put on a whole new persona, to be someone other than yourself. It is not an easy endeavor. Acting will help us to understand how to react in certain situations. It will help us in life and it is entertainment at its best. Whether you prefer to be watching, or on the stage, there is that thrill of theatre. Great art is to be honoured — it is not something that happens overnight, but accomplished with hard work and diligence. Each one of us has left an impression on Beattie.

We are the young adults who learn and encompass the values of diversity. We have created memories that we will cherish forever and that will carry us through the events of our lives. I know many of us will come across hardships and forks in the road, but I believe we are fully capable of tackling anything cast our way. Using music to connect to ourselves and others, being confident through dance, expressing our inner beings and knowing how to act depending on different situations has set us up to thrive. I have faith that we will all become a success, even if it is in the smallest and humblest of ways.

staff as we have come to trust and value their opinions. Even though we do not think much about how they have helped us, we will eventually realize how crucial their involvement has been to our development, creating the people we have become today. They deserve our deepest respect — after all, many of us chose to hand in our two-month overdue assignments the day before their marks were due! Melissa: If it wasn’t for our parents, though, we would not have been privileged with the gift of life to experi-

ence such a dynamic journey. In some of the most daunting moments we have come by, our parents have provided us with tremendous support and helped us get by — even if we do not want to admit it. Today is not just a day about us and who we have become, but a day which our parents and guardians can take pride in their brilliant, beautiful, relentless, masterpieces. The people we have become today are a direct reflection of those who have raised us. We think that they give us a hard time for the fun of it, but their persistence gives us the

extra push that we need to become successful individuals. They will continue to motivate us throughout our lives because our parents’ wish for us is to prosper and excel. Sam: Lastly, look to the person on either side of you; we all have to thank each other. Without our friends we would not have made it through these years — after all, they have been the ones we have told the details of our lives. They have created memories with us that we can cherish, some being too painful to recall as we recount the number of times unfitting onsies were worn

around the school. I know many of us loved going to McDonald’s at lunch, as it was almost as exciting as passing math class. Melissa: As you all sit in front of Sam and me, impatiently waiting, think to yourself what you have accomplished on your journey to be here today. What obstacles have you conquered to fully live for today and walk across this stage with pride and great courage knowing, of course, the best is yet to come? A job well done to us all.

The best is yet to come X From B3

Sam: There is no doubt that many of us will face major challenges in making decisions that will determine our futures. Some of us may be certain of the direction we wish to take on for the rest of our lives, and some of us may be floating in the clouds of uncertainty. On our journey into adulthood, not once will we stop learning, whether continuing our studies or taking time off from school. We all have and will continue to make mistakes, but we should not let our fears stop us from perusing a successful future. “Too many of us are not living our dreams because we are living our fears,” said former politician and best-selling author Les Brown. We each need to follow our dreams courageously and dive into our goals head first, knowing there is a strong net to catch our fall, of course. Melissa: Regardless of the challenges we face in our lifetimes, for every person here, not just us graduates, it is within our own individual power and perseverance that we choose the outcomes of our lives. Absolutely, there will be obstacles that we may face that we have no control over, but we each have the ability to make the best out of those situations and decide how those events will have an impact on us. To us graduates, no matter how narrow your options and opportunities are that you may encounter, we each have control over our success in life and how we will reach our goals. Throughout all the chaos we may face entering the broad world — be it cramming for our final exams or sorting out — personal matters, we should not let these obstacles affect and have impact our potential to hold an important contributing role in our ever-changing world. Sam: The idea of entering adulthood may be overwhelming and absolutely terrifying for some of us. Being released from this safe haven we have all become so comfortable with may be a challenge to us, having to make our own decisions away from the influence of our friends. The future ahead of us, however, can bring wonderful rewards, whether it is a laughing, happy family, a promising career or a life of travelling

the world. Each of our futures has something unique in store for us that we all can look forward to. Look at all of you, sitting there, tapping your feet, thinking, “My gosh, how much longer could they continue? Aren’t they getting winded yet?” Don’t worry, the end is near. As we begin to conclude our address for this evening, to co-ordinate with our theme, we would like to leave us graduates with a poem to reflect upon by Purnel Collicott, entitled The Best Is Yet to Come. Each new generation tend to think they are so cool! At just about the time they graduate from school. But what can they know? They have just begun They’ve barely started, and the best is yet to come! They have miles and miles to go, before they even know It was just a phase one little act, in the human show! And many, many times, before their race is run, They’ll see that it was true the best was yet to come! It takes young adults awhile, to settle into careers. And there’s bound to be some tough times, in those working years. There will be good times, and bad times, before those years are done. But they can always take heart, for the best years are still to come! Life may be very good or it may throw us many curves. Life is uncertain we may not get what we think we deserve. But it always will be better, if we will just keep in mind The best is yet to come just give it some time! Sam: This night is so significant. It marks the end of our high school lives and the beginning of the real world where we can do anything that we set our minds to. We have worked hard to be here today and should all thank ourselves for that. I couldn’t ask for a better grad class, you all are amazing and we honestly mean that. We have all conquered high school so now let’s conquer the real world and make it our playground. We are moving on from good to better. Said by famous guru Deepak Chopra, “The

most creative act you will ever undertake is the act of creating yourself.” The same message holds true to all of us — although life may throw us challenges that we will have to adapt to, have fun building our lives and experiencing new things as we stay true to ourselves and make the best of every moment. Melissa and I want to wish the grad class the best in your adult lives, hoping everyone remains the healthy, intelligent, unique individuals that we all are as we continue on our journey through life, building loving relationships, making new friends, and changing our diverse world. Thank you all in attendance this evening. Melissa: Said by British politician Winston Churchill, considered one of the most transcendent wartime leaders of the 20th century: “Success is not final, failure is not fatal: it is the courage to continue that counts.” We each have the potential to be successful in our lives to come, but we need to take the initiative to be sure that happens. It is not measured by our financial prosperity, the car we drive, or our professional ranking, but rather by what we have overcome in order to create the happiness we all deserve. I know all of us graduates will not fail ourselves, as we are indeed a generation that has been raised in a world where society and technology has been continually changing. With that to our advantage, being the leaders which we all are, we can take on even the most terrifying challenges and continue in our efforts to make the world better for our following generations. Keep in mind, the best is yet to come, regardless of how the events will play out in our lives. Knowledge is power. Use it to the best of your ability to make every breathing moment count. Thank you.

‘Con-grad-ulations’ Sabres By Anisha Phillips and Luke Frymire VALEDICTORIANS SA-HALI SECONDARY

Welcome parents, families, friends, faculty, honoured guests and fellow graduates. My name is Anisha Phillips and I am Luke Frymire and we are honoured to be representing the Sa-Hali Grad Class of 2013, as your valedictorians. A valedictorian comes from the word “valedictory,” which means bidding goodbye or saying farewell. Grads, although we are here to formally close out our time together, we would also like to celebrate the times we have spent together. As Imagine Dragons sing in their song liOn top of the World, we’ve been “waiting on this for a while now” — but our times at Sa-Hali are ones that we will remember for the rest of our lives. Along this journey, we have learned lessons about ourselves and about our peers. We have learned what it is like to fall and get back up. We have learned that, although many times we have strived for our best, it is OK to fail. And, when we fall short of our goals, perseverance can get us a long way. Along this journey we have also learned that we have to work hard to get what we want, but it is worth it in the end. We have learned the value of friendship and have made friends that will be with us for the rest of our lives. Some friends have been by our sides for many years and we have been through both the good and bad; while many friendships are just developing. No matter over what length our relationships have formed, they are important to each of us. We have learned the value of teamwork and the drive of independence. Most of all, we have learned right from wrong, sometimes the hard way, but it has shaped who we are today: a group of students who are liOn Top of the World. As graduates, we have gained an education inside and outside the classroom. This will allow us to be successful and has developed our maturity inside and out. For this we owe great credit to our teachers and the staff at Sa-Hali. They have been at our sides since we first started the journey of high school. They have gifted us with an education that has allowed us to be successful and taught us lessons that we will remember forever. Our teachers are like second

parents and, although we do not always show it, we do appreciate and respect you. Thank you to Mr. Koppes, who has supported student council and developed our newest foosball team, thank you to the gym staff who supported extracurricular activities and sports teams, thank you to the science and math teachers for putting up with our constant complaints and providing us extra help at lunch. Each teacher has helped us develop and grow throughout this part of our lives. We will not forget the constant smiles of the office staff, the help of the library staff and the delicious meals from the dedicated ladies in the cafeteria. We owe a lot of credit to our teachers for our success. Parents and family, we know that it is hard to watch us take the next step in our lives as we cross this stage but, believe it or not, we are ready. We remember the start of kindergarten when we held onto your hand for dear life. We kicked and screamed, not wanting to let go. You left us at school to grow and learn; now it is your turn, to let go of our hand. We will not forget all that you have done for us because it’s you who have helped to make us the people we are today. We thank you for all the nights you spent struggling to remember content to help us with our homework. Thank you for all the hours you spent driving us around town to our extracurricular activities. Thank you for nagging us to study or to have a shower — we may not have liked it then, but we appreciate it now. Thank you for providing us with the things we need but, most of all, thank you for your constant support and love. You have taught us lessons that we will use for the rest of our lives. You have raised us to be successful members of society and, for that, we thank you. Now to our fellow classmates; “con-grad-ulations!” We have made it through five years of long lessons, cramped hands, late nights and early mornings and now we are the Sa-Hali grads of 2013! We have all made mistakes, gone through challenges and had

personal successes. We have learned valuable lessons from these experiences. We have all developed, in our own ways, and changed from the little Grade 8s we started as. For those of us who began at Sa-Hali, remember back to the first day of Links Crew walking through the gauntlet of applause. Each of us walking single file, trying to frantically search for a place to hide or a quick escape from all those tall, happy people. Thoughts ran through our heads like, “High school’s not supposed to be happy and one of these kids is probably just trying to lure me into a locker.” It was hard to picture ourselves as those tall Grade 12s we saw walking the halls, but here we are. During this journey, we have both lost our way and found our path, we all are unique and each our own and we all have a different story. It is when all the things that we have in common and when all our differences come together, that we become the Sa-Hali grads of 2013. Although we have shared an amazing time together, we have so much more to look forward to. We have the power to guide our future in any direction we choose. Many of us are unsure of what we want to do and where we want to end up. We can never predict what life will throw at us, but it is how we handle it that will decide success or failure. Some of us want to be doctors, engineers, painters, entertainers, lawyers, teachers, trades workers and some of us are excited about jobs we can start right away. No matter what, each of us will be successful in our own unique way. Right now, we have a world of possibilities in front of us. It doesn’t matter who we are, who we know or where we come from, we have the power to pursue anything we want. “We are lion top of the world.” It is a time full of excitement and expectations but it is the time when we discover our true identity and our place in the world. Today we will take the tools we have been given and show the world what we are capable of achieving. We all have a future. No matter where it takes us or what happens, we are granted a tomorrow. We may not be together then, but we are together now. Imagine Dragons say it best: We’ve been “dreaming of this since a child” and now we’re lion top of the world.” Let’s do this 2013!

Jordan in the class. Your joyfulness and energy can always brighten up someone’s day. You are always willing to go deeper in conversation and always have good advice. You have a good head on your shoulders. Mariah: Actions speak louder than words, especially with you. You’re always willing to give up your time for others and you do it with patience. You always accept people for who they are. And if we all had a work ethic like you, we’d probably all be on the honour roll. Romans 12:1: “Therefore, I urge you, brothers and sisters, in view of God’s mercy, to offer your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and pleasing to God—this is your true and proper worship.” Mike: You’re an artist in your own special way. You’re always willing to help out, no matter what the task. Your adventurous spirit will take you many great places. Clayton: Your passion about the Lord encourages others to seek the same relationship that you have with him. You stand true to what you believe and always have good input to share. Nat: You’re such a loyal and true friend. It’s always a joy to hangout with you. You’re knowledge of the Bible will take you far. Awanas had paid off! Cheyenne: You’re always such a caring person.

Good evening, everyone! It’s great to see you all here; we want to thank you all for being here to support us tonight. First things first, we want to thank all of the parents and families of the grads for getting us to where we are today and giving us that little extra push when we needed it. Next, we would like to thank the teachers; you guys are a breed of your own — and that’s a good thing. Every one of you is special in your own way and you use that to pour into our lives and we can’t think of anywhere else you can get that kind of education — so, thanks! Next, we want to thank all pastors and youth pastors for leading and teaching us in the Lord. And, finally, the Lord — we’re so blessed to live in this great country and to go to such an amazing school. To our fellow graduates, each of you have played a unique and important part in this class and in each other’s lives. Thank you for impacting our lives and teaching us more about ourselves and, most importantly, more about the Lord. Thank you for the laughs and the memories we have shared; for the encouragement and the lessons we’ve learned. We’ve grown a lot together and before all of us part our ways, we would like to take some time to honour each one of you, as you have all touched our lives.

MORTGAGE MATTERS Planning a Purchase? Know the FIVE C’s of Borrowing Money Purchasing a home is a major decision; it represents the single largest purchase a family will ever make. So when it comes to qualifying for home financing, what should you know? Here are the 5 C’s important to the bank: Capital – How much do you have to put down for the purchase of your new home? The larger the down payment, the less risk you present to the lender. 5% is the normal down payment required to purchase a home in Canada. However, if your credit is good, there are a few lenders who can gift you the down payment in return for a higher mortgage interest rate. Having no down payment is not always a limitation. Capacity – Is your income sufficient to support the repayment of the requested loan amount? Most lenders will allow about 40% of your income to go towards housing costs and debt. The housing and debt calculation looks like this: monthly debt payments plus housing costs plus heat plus ½ strata fees if applicable must be under 40% of gross income. Be aware: Monthly debt payments includes: car loan, credit card, lease payments, etc. Housing costs include mortgage and taxes for all your properties Heat is usually estimated between $85 to $100 per month Credit – Is the financial institution confident that you will pay them back? Credit is the evaluation of your habits when it comes to borrowing. If you have never taken out a loan or used a credit card, you may be surprised to find out you have no credit rating at all! A credit check reports your credit history and provides a numerical score based on your habits of borrowing and repaying debt (0 to 900, 900 is best). Collateral – Will the real estate purchase offer suitable collateral to the lender? In the event of a default, the lender will sell your collateral to recoup their loan plus foreclosure expenses. So, lenders will do their homework to ensure the property is in good condition with good resale value. They may not always agree with your purchase price. In some cases, lenders will require an appraisal. Character – What kind of impression do you make? Character is your reputation and reliability. The bank may not have had prior dealings with you, so how do they determine your character? The lender will often look at your: •Assets/ Debt/ Net worth – How have you spent your earnings? What do you have to show for it? •Educational background and work experience *People with a transient job history or address history are seen as less reliable than someone who has been in a home or job for 20 years.* For more information about qualifying for a mortgage or if you have questions about your specific situation, please call 250 682 6077 or e-mail steve.bucher@migroup.ca or check out my website at www.mortgagebuilder.ca Today’s Mortgage Matters is brought to you by Steve Bucher.

2013 VALEDICTORIANS

KCS valedictorians Whundaful grad class for Westsyde thank ‘the best’ grads VALEDICTORIANS

X From B6

Jennie: Jen, it’s been great to go to school with you. You’re such a genuine and cool person. It’s been great to see how you’ve grown in the Lord throughout these years. I think you set a great example of what a true woman of God can be, and act as a great role model to not only young but old as well. I wish you luck in YWAM and wherever God takes you! Randy: You are a friend to all and that isn’t surprising considering people are naturally drawn to your character. You have a let-loose, fun personality that’s driven by joy and humour. You’re a loyal friend and give wise spiritual advice. Your love for the Lord shines through you brightly and it’s because of these gifts that I know you’ll be a great youth leader. Class of 2013, you have such amazing talents and attributes. You are truly inspiring people! Jennifer: The theme verse that we chose for this special night is Jeremiah 29:11 — “For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, plans to proper and not harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.” Our prayer for you as you set out on this new journey is that you will always remember God has a plan for you better than any dream you could imagine. We pray you will set your eyes and heart on God, and nothing else. We pray you strive to hear His voice and walk the path that He has chosen for you; and as you walk that path, that you would do it with perseverance, passion, and allow it to consume everything you have. Always trust in the Lord, especially in those days of doubt, worry or apprehensiveness of what’s to come; and as those days rise to meet us, take joy in the fact that you can trust the Lord to carry you through His perfect plan that He has laid out for you. God bless you, guys, and congratulations to the best grad class of 2013! Randy: As I was thinking of what I could say in address to my fellow students, I though I’d turn to what I knew — drumming. As I was looking through quotes from drummers, I came across some nice ones from my favourite, Mr. Dave Grohl, drummer for Nirvana. Online I found The Top 5 Ways to a Better Life by Dave Grohl, so here they are: • No one is you and that is your biggest power (it’s true, God made us all differently and laid us each our own plan, so why follow someone else’s plan when God has one perfect for you). • Don’t be afraid of not fitting in (God gave us certain traits because he knows how we will use them to our/his advantage). • Give a darn about yourself (self-confidence is power, people feed off of it). • Be humble. • Spark a revolution (we all have a hero, whether real or fictional, and we should aspire to become someone’s hero and change their lives for the better and inspire them!). I think Mr. Grohl knows what he’s talking about. So, thank you, Mr Grohl. It’s been a great ride here with you all, I’ll look back on these days as pretty dang tasty and fun. I can’t wait for a far off reunion, to hear of all the lives changed and affected by each person here in this class. You guys will do great things, especially if you do them in Christ Jesus our Lord. God bless you, guys. And, Congratulations to the best grad class of 2013!

WESTSYDE SECONDARY

Parents, teachers, distinguished guests and, most importantly, the graduating class of 2013 — let us take a moment to realize exactly where we are right now. All our lives, we have been encouraged to look forward when, really, after these past couple of months, I can’t help but look back. It feels like it was only yesterday that we were opening the doors to our very first day

rectly, quickly becoming one of the worst Grade 8 classes administration had seen in years. This was due to our excessive rough-housing and boisterous nature, which led to not one, but two — two! — assemblies on “how to behave.” Looking at us now, I think it can be safely said we have all come a long way. Grade 8 somehow morphed into Grade 10 and we all began to find where we really belonged.

and our peers would watch us grow, where mistakes would be made and lessons learned and where we would grow out of the innocence and eagerness of children and into the confident and accomplished adults we are now. After many days of walking into the wrong classroom, fighting our way through the Tazba and horrifyingly finding ourselves on the wrong side of the hallway, we finally became comfortable in our new school. But, maybe a little too comfortable. We were, if I can recall cor-

of high school. For some of us, the opening of those doors was one of the hardest parts, for beyond them was a new beginning. It was a new school, a new year, a new journey. We were petrified by the size of everyone and everything around us and constantly wondered if the tales of swirlies, wet willies and being thrown into a garbage can were true. After all, this place, these classrooms and hallways, would be our home for the next five years of our life. It was where our teachers

2013 VALEDICTORIANS

35 St.Ann’s grads a close-knit group By Erika Berg and Braedon Paul VALEDICTORIANS ST. ANN’S ACADEMY

Erika: Honoured guests, fellow classmates, faculty, family, and friends, Braedon and I are privileged to stand before you today and say welcome to St. Ann’s Academy’s 2013 Graduation Ceremony, an evening of everlasting memories and an exciting steppingstone in all of our lives. I must admit, I’m awfully nervous this evening, not because I’m speaking on behalf of my peers before a sea of people, nor because I’m standing precariously on a stage in high heels and a sweltering gown, but rather because Mrs. Peel is amongst the crowd, or stealthily suspend-

ing herself from the ceiling for all we know, critiquing my sentence structure and use of literary devices. Braedon: When Erika and I learned we’d be carrying out this shared role, I was instantly excited because it meant I could say anything I wanted about anybody at all. It was later that I discovered there were a few rules and guidelines, first and foremost, “appropriate” and, just like that, all my ideas were tossed down the drain. In other words, this undertaking has been a difficult one, but an honour nonetheless. Now, I warn you, if listening to people talk isn’t your thing, then I invite you to fall asleep for about 10 minutes, then wake up and give us an

‘We are the future, the future is ours’ X From B7

This was when our memorable friendships formed, our passions and interests blossomed and when we truly began to discover who we were growing to be. As time passed, and our days turned into weeks and our weeks into years, we found ourselves entering our very last year of high school. There are no more days to cross off the calendar, no more grand countdowns to look forward to. The day we have been waiting for all our high-school lives, the day we thought would never come, is here and we are living it right now. The diploma that we will receive tonight will symbolize how far we have come. Not only will it serve as proof that we have finished high school but most importantly and above all else, this diploma is our very own first-class ticket to whatever future we have ever dreamed of having. It has opened many doors and gives us the power to follow any path we find behind it and to the life we have always dreamed of living. So, after today, as we all walk through Westsyde’s doors for the last time, we will start the beginning of our own journey down one of those paths. And, someday, in one of the many years to come, I hope that our paths may cross again; even if it is for only a short while. For even though it may have taken a couple of Grade 8 assemblies to direct us towards the right path, it will only take one ceremony, here and now, to show us the greatness we are all destined to achieve. So let us finish today just the way we started it — together. Thank you and congratulations. “We are the future, the future is ours.”

enthusiastic, dragged out standing ovation. Erika: With only 35 students, this graduating class is the smallest St. Ann’s has seen in 11 years. We are privileged to know one another so well and Braedon and I are lucky to represent such an eclectic group here today. While some have merely migrated from infatuations with Chef Boyardee and Chuck Norris flipbooks to briefcases and Magic: The Gathering Cards, many of us have accomplished great goals and conquered challenging obstacles. Despite our small size, the Class of 2013 falls nowhere short of talent. We have filled these halls not only with star athletes and musical legends, but

also with an array of wisenheimers. Braedon: I’m proud to say that we are a somewhat weird bunch of kids. We have an awkward sense of humour and a knack for laughing when we shouldn’t. Whether you’re a lifer, like me, or you’re a Gillian and you basically just got here, together, we’ve created an unforgettable experience. Erika: At first, the close community we had built in elementary school seemed scattered in high school, but nothing could’ve been further from the truth. We were quick to meet new friends from all over, including OLPH, and our friendships flourished to whole new levels. Together we’ve

ERIKA BERG: ‘We are priveleged to know one another.’

BRAEDON PAUL: Had a tough time not working blue.

been fortunate to grow alongside St. Ann’s Academy and witness its many progressions. I mean, sure, the canteen sealed off its candy door, but at least we’ll all live a few years longer! Braedon: Now, I’ve heard high school described as “the best years of your life.” I’m going to come right out and say that if tedious homework and stressful exams were the best years of your life, you’ve done something terribly

wrong. Having said that, the experiences I’ve faced during high school and the people I’ve met along the way have been the biggest influences in my life, and I wouldn’t change any of it for anything, not even that time I crashed Luc’s motorbike in the school parking lot. Erika: We’d like to conclude with our sincere gratitude to those who have helped shape our lives. To our parents,

who at times viewed the whole Hunger Games concept as not so crazy of an idea. From the beginning, you have provided unconditional support and, as a reward, have packed countless lunches — we love and admire you. Braedon: To our teachers, who never ever lost their patience . . . well, unless we deserved it, and who have always been there to offer extra help and advice, as well as be exemplary role models. You have become our wisest friends. We respect and will never forget you. Erika: And lastly, to our peers . . . Braedon: We’ve learned together, Erika: Cried together, Braedon: Laughed together, Erika: And, can you believe it kids? Both: We’re graduating together!

2013 VALEDICTORIANS

From Y2K to H1N1, Vikes survived it all By Corrina Calder and Markus DenBraber VALEDICTORIANS VALLEYVIEW SECONDARY

It has been a short five years but, even in that short amount of time, we have all changed in so many ways. Some of those changes were for the better. However, there are some other changes that will be for the worse. Our moms will no longer be packing our lunches every day (thanks mom for the Dunkaroos and Gushers in my lunch for the past 12 years.) But, the worst change of all is that our last day of school will also be the last time we see the same faces of our class together. Let’s take it back 13 years ago to our first day of kindergarten. That’s right, the year 2000. The new millennium. The year that Y2K would wipe out our bulky computers with Windows 98 installed and we would revert back to a world with no electricity

or heat. But, we survived and unfortunately we had to continue the next 13 years of schooling. However, we survived the next chapter of our lives with one of the most important parts of our childhood — music. No matter what we went through or how we felt, there was a song that fit the situation. When we arrived at our first day of kindergarten, it was terrifying for all of us, but we were told by Faith Hill to “JUST BREATHE” and because of her advice, the primary years of elementary school went by in a flash. High School Musical let us down on the first day of Grade 8, and we were horrified walking down the hall to go to our homeroom class, and we were incredibly surprised when nobody burst into song when the bell rang! Where were the cheerleaders? Where was the basketball team? And most importantly,

WHERE WAS ZAC EFRON?! We were caught off guard and didn’t know what to expect. We no longer put our favourite song lyrics as our personal message on MSN, but posted them instead as our Facebook status, because MSN was soooo Grade 7. With that being said, our social networks drastically changed. As the years passed, we anticipated the endless varieties of classes we could take. When the choice was ours in Grade 10, it was like entering a whole new world. We could take any elective we wanted and we could choose any language we wanted to pursue. We were so excited to cook in foods class with the famous Dinsy and her tasteless puns, but we still wouldn’t cook at home because, wasn’t that our mom’s job? The came Grade 12. The first day of Grade 12 was much the same as Grade 7, but without the training bras and braces.

Once again we were the superior ones in the school and most of us arrived to school in our own cars, blasting our favourite songs with the windows rolled down. We found ourselves tearing up when we listened to Somebody that I used to Know and “WEEEE are never ever ever, getting back together” — but only because that song is annoying and permanently stuck in our heads. But, we all knew the day would come — the day of graduation. Although we all sit here today wondering how the years just passed us by, we still smile because we’re leaving today with nothing but wonderful memories and amazing friendships. We’re a small grad class and we’ve made it through the biggest disasters. We survived Y2K, H1N1, 2012 and, most importantly, that awful Jersey Shore phase.

Like Enrique once said, “You can run, you can hide, but you can’t escape my love.” We know you’re all destined for great things and, if you ever get lost along the next part of your journey in life, remember those lyrics we

just sang for you. Keep walking fast because someone needs you and someone will miss you. We would also like to take the time to thank our parents. They have been an integral part of our success and have supported us through every step of our journey. Without you, we never could have achieved as much as we have today. Grads, as you leave here today, don’t leave

upset or full of regret. Leave as though you’re Troy and Gabriella, and remember all of the things they taught us. We’re all in this together and it shows, when we stand, hand in hand, make our dreams come true! Vikings, everywhere. Throw your hands up in the air! That’s the way we do it, let’s get to it, come on everyone! Congratulations graduating class of 2013!

FAITH

Finding a way in our all-too-violent society

VERYONE has encountered violence in some way. Many of us encountered it in school. Being bullied is hurtful. The stronger beat on the weaker. I hated it then and I hate it now. Today we watch violence everywhere around the globe and it’s growing. There are different kinds of violence — mental, emotional, social, verbal and psychological. Much of it happens in the homes. It’s like a perpetual self-feeding monster growing stronger with each outburst. It’s been claimed that aggression and violence are expressions of an insecure individual who has not experienced the security of unconditional love and acceptance.

KAREL SAMEK You Gotta Have FAITH There are also other causes. A hidden, unhealed hurt and pain or unfulfilled need — whether real or imaginary — can feed anger, confusion, animosity and rage. It’s often vented on the vulnerable and innocent. Generational pains that haven’t healed grow exponentially. People revert to alcohol, drugs or free love, but the pain doesn’t go away. Can this trend be reversed and healed?

Yes, but it can be a gradual road toward recovery with its ups and downs, but it’s worth it. Those who rely on God will experience His love and grace — and, if they persevere, they will eventually succeed. Media and entertainment feed us with steady doses of violence. The news reports every uncouth or gory event. Sports glorify bloody encounters and eager crowds watch modern gladiators of violence and brutality. When we watch the helpless, soft and tender newborn babies and the affection and love shown to them at their birth, we in turn become soft and tender, more caring and gentle. What, then, can happen to us just a few hours later when we

turn our displeasure on others in hurtful attacks? What happens to that soft bundle of new life after years of turning some of them into individuals inflicting hurt and violence? In the Bible, we have the description of the world just before the flood (Genesis 6:11–13): “And the earth was corrupt before God, and the earth was filled with violence. And God saw the earth, and, behold, it was corrupt; for all flesh had corrupted their way upon the earth. And God said unto Noah: ‘The end of all flesh is come before Me; for the earth is filled with violence through them; and, behold, I will destroy them with the earth’.” The Bible tells us God’s heart was grieved because

humanity “perverted their ways and every thought of their hearts was only evil continually.” Image a God of selfless, caring, selfgiving tender love obliterated from people’s lives. Their greedy, selfcentered hearts would become set on pursuing their own selfish goals, irrespective of the consequences to anyone else. Their neighbours and family members would become obstacles in their mad pursuit of twisted or unrealistic desires. Yet, getting all we want does not heal our hearts or satisfy our heart’s hunger. It only makes us more disappointed, frustrated and angry. We ignore the Lord, who came to heal us, as we recklessly turn to pursuits that do not

fulfil us. In Luke 17:26, Jesus speaks of the condition of humanity just before his second coming, comparing it with the pre-flood times: “And as it was in the days of Noah, so it also shall be in the days of the Son of Man.” There will be the same reckless obsession, with pursuits of temporary life to the disregard of eternal values and God. Violence was the norm then and it is becoming the norm today. Once I read a statement: “The inhumanity of man to man is his greatest sin.” Yes, we often hurt most the ones closest to us. How sad!

I have a pet, and we need a home... The BC SPCA believes that if landlords were aware of the significant benefits of pet-friendly housing, they would be more inclined to offer it. One of the biggest direct advantages of offering pet-friendly housing is increased rental income, since people with pets will pay 20 to 30% more for housing. People with pets also stay longer – an average of 46 months, compared to 18 months for people without pets – saving landlords from having to spend time advertising for, finding and screening new reliable tenants.
