‘He’s going to get away with murder’ By Tim Petruk STAFF REPORTER tim@kamloopsthisweek.com

Eleven-year-old Sara Martin explores the world of science on opening day at the new location of the Big Little Science Centre. The beloved centre is now ready to amaze in the Twin Rivers Education Centre at 655 Holt St. on the North Shore. Dave Eagles/KTW

Home, sweet home — once again By Karla Karcioglu SPECIAL TO KTW editor@kamloopsthisweek.com

They came from as far as Calgary to check out the new home of the Big Little Science Centre. The Kamloops science hub is now located in the Twin Rivers Education Centre, having moved to the 655 Holt St. location from its former home a few blocks away in the former George Hilliard elementary. Susan Hammond, assistant operator of the Big Little Science Centre, gave KTW a tour of the new space on opening day, Tuesday, July 9, which brought visitors from Kamloops and as far afield as Alberta.

The new location is similar in size to the centre’s previous home. It has four labs for demonstrations, a large hands-on space in the gym and ample storage space for the equipment. Hammond is hoping to gain feedback on the set-up at the new location. So far, Hammond likes the flow of the new building and enjoys seeing how people can interact across the large hands-on area. It may be small in size, she noted, but it is big in capacity and ideas. Hammond is thrilled that the KamloopsThompson school district was able to find space, again, for the centre. The science centre began in Westsyde,

moved to Bert Edwards elementary, moved again to George Hilliard elementary and moved yet again to its current location. “It’s hard to find a home on a shoestring budget,” Hammond said. She is hoping to reach out to the local arts community to help decorate the new space, noting she would like to see large swaths of cloth draped across the gymnasium ceiling. Hammond is particularly excited about the upcoming science camps, but is hoping to see more registration.

The family of a 20-year-old Kamloops woman who was one of two people killed in a 2010 crash in North Kamloops is worried the man allegedly behind the wheel at the time will not be punished. “We’re feeling he’s going to get off on a technicality — he’s going to get away with murder,” said Nancy Butler, aunt of Brittany Plotnikoff, 21, who was killed alongside 38-year-old Kenneth Craigdaillie in a single-vehicle accident on March 20, 2010. “We just feel like he’s going to get away with it.” Wayne Fedan is facing two counts each of impaired driving causing death, causing an accident resulting in death and dangerous driving causing death. Lawyers have spent the better part of a week arguing before B.C. Supreme Court Justice Deborah Kloegman about Fedan’s Charter rights and how they were violated following the crash. Both sides agree he was not properly Chartered, and Crown prosecutor Bernie Caffaro went so far as to take Fedan’s blood-alcohol analysis results off the table. “The Crown will not seek an admission of the police-demanded blood samples,” he said in court. “It’s very important we be clear about that.” The biggest issue for defence lawyer Sheldon Tate is whether or not his client was detained in the moments after first responders arrived at the scene of the fatal crash. Court has heard Kamloops RCMP Const. Mike Penman failed to fully Charter Fedan, only partially making mention of the accused’s right to speak to a lawyer. Under the Charter of Rights and Freedoms, every person who is under arrest or detention has the right “to retain and instruct counsel without delay and to be informed of that right” — something Penman failed to provide Fedan. “He [Const. Penman] was clearly overwhelmed by his duties and performed in a fashion which violated my client’s rights,” Tate said. “The actions of Const. Penman would bring the administration of justice into disrepute.” X See CHARTER A5

BRAVERY IN THE FACE OF DANGER By Tim Petruk STAFF REPORTER tim@kamloopsthisweek.com

Fourteen-year-old Shannon Young received a bravery award from the Kamloops RCMP for her role in shepherding three kids to safety when a man took her mother hostage in Dufferin last year. Dave Eagles/KTW

Twenty-one honours were handed out to civilians and Mounties alike at the annual Kamloops RCMP awards ceremony, held on Wednesday, July 10, at Interior Savings Centre. Dave Eagles/KTW

For more information please call 250-318-5259 or 250-819-5153 or email info@429StPaul.ca Web information available at 429StPaul.ca

A total of 21 honours were handed out at the Kamloops RCMP detachment’s annual awards ceremony on Wednesday, July 10, but there was only one standing ovation. Shannon Young brought those in attendance to their feet after her tale of bravery was recounted by Kamloops RCMP Staff Sgt. Mike Savage, the event’s emcee. Shannon, 14, is the daughter of the woman whose Cannel Drive home was destroyed in a deadly attack last spring. On May 17, 2012, an armed acquaintance of Young’s mother burst into the Dufferin home with explosives strapped to his body, fired a shotgun into the ceiling and took Shannon’s mother hostage. Shannon, a member of the Royal Canadian Air Cadets 204 Black Maria, took it upon herself to make sure the three other children inside the house — her two younger siblings and a friend — made it out alive. “I put them in the bathroom so that they would be safe,” a shy Shannon told reporters who surrounded her after she received her award. “I told them it was a spy mission so they would be quiet and I got them out of the house.” The gunman who stormed into Young’s home was later identified as Dennan Bruce Crosby, an electrician from Surrey. He died after a number of explosions destroyed the home hours after the incident began. Shannon’s mom was released unharmed before the home went up in flames. Shannon said she is uncomfortable in the spotlight. “I’m still having a hard time accepting it,” she said. “I don’t like awards. I’m never good at receiving attention for what I do.”

Also recognized at the ceremony: • Leyna Salwach (municipal employee): Detachment Commander Certificate of Appreciation for her dedication and contributions as a watch clerk. • Const. Gary Gray: Detachment Commander Certificate of Recognition for his role in assisting a suicidal female in July 2012. • Const. Amadeo Vecchio: Detachment Commander Commendation for Services to the Community for his role in organizing and leading the memorial parade on June 18, 2012, marking the 50th anniversary of three members killed in the line of duty. • Coralyn Anness: Detachment Commander Certificate of Appreciation for her outstanding contribution and support to the major-crimes section. • Const. Mark Janus: Detachment Commander Certificate of Recognition for his role in assisting a barricaded, suicidal male in September 2012. • Team Award: Commendations for Service to the Community for the hostage taking and house fire incident on Cannel Drive on May 17, 2012. The following officers were recognized for their professionalism, bravery, and dedication to public safety in Kamloops: Staff Sgt. Fran Bethell Cpl. Art Babin Const. John Collins Const. Devon Gammie Const. Jeannie Lehbauer Const. Darwin Robins Const. Dave Lewis Const. Chris Bolton Const. Mark Janus Const. Bryce Feighen Const. Chris Milne Const. Vince Stephens Const.

Get Your Glow On! City of Kamloops “Get Your Glow On” Road Safety Campaign is off to a great start thanks to our Community Safety volunteers and interested Kamloops citizens. Volunteers have been engaging with the public and giving out tip cards and giveaways with the “Get Your Glow On” website address; reminding them to practice safety when sharing the road. They have visited strip malls, retail parking lots, drive thru’s, the downtown core and Farmer’s market; as well as Canada Day at Riverside Park. Public response to the campaign has been very positive, as road safety is a hot topic these days. People are becoming more and more concerned about pedestrian and motor vehicle-related accidents. ICBC’s Road Safety Division, RCMP Kamloops City Detachment and Royal Inland Hospital’s Trauma Services actively support the campaign. Together with the City, all are committed to heightening public awareness around shared responsibility for all road users and reducing the number of potentially tragic incidents. Get Your Glow On Kamloops! The message is not just about being seen. We also want all road users to “see” what is going on around them. Look for our volunteers throughout July as they visit City parks, transit exchanges, retail locations and community events; continuing to spread the message. Take care. Be aware. Pay attention. Visit our website www.kamloops.ca/getyourglowon and learn how simple it is to reduce your risk.

Tate argued Fedan, while not technically under arrest following the crash, was in a â&#x20AC;&#x153;psychological detention.â&#x20AC;? Court heard Fedan was taken to hospital in an ambulance with an RCMP auxiliary constable sitting beside him. Caffaro said Fedan was not under â&#x20AC;&#x153;Charter detentionâ&#x20AC;? prior to Penman making a blood demand. â&#x20AC;&#x153;By and large, this is not a difficult factual case,â&#x20AC;? Tate said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;What is difficult to assess is the degree and severity of the Charter breaches I am alleging. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Essentially, everything stated by Mr. Fedan, through and to the departure of Const. Penman, is

sought to be excluded.â&#x20AC;? If the judge rules in favour of the defence, that would mean three key pieces of Crown evidence â&#x20AC;&#x201D; an admission by Fedan that he was driving, an admission he had consumed alcohol and evidence from Penman that he smelled liquor on Fedanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s breath â&#x20AC;&#x201D; would be thrown out. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is a very serious matter and one that obviously, on balance, perhaps weighs against us,â&#x20AC;? Tate said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;However, in the final analysis it is not the individual components that matter â&#x20AC;&#x201D; it is the totality. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Mr. Fedan was in the control of the state at that particular time and his right to counsel had been denied him.

healthy landscapes, healthy living

Xeriscaping in Kamloops Xeriscape means â&#x20AC;&#x153;water conservation through creative landscapingâ&#x20AC;?. Landscapes suited to our semi-arid climate conserve water and have an advantage over pest problems. Apply these principles to any garden style and have a healthy, high quality landscape: 1. Planning and design: Group plants according to their water use. Slope hard surfaces to drain to planted areas. Avoid steep slopes â&#x20AC;&#x201C; create terraces instead. Use groundcovers on gentle slopes. 2. Good soils: Organic matter is an excellent soil amendment. It improves moisture holding capacity in sandy soils and helps to loosen clay soils. 3. Appropriate plant selection: Drought tolerant plants thrive here. There are many beautiful trees, shrubs and flowers with low water needs. 4. Practical turf areas: Replace unused lawns with other plants. Use hard-surfacing for play courts, patios, and walkways. 5. Water wisely: Water deeply, but infrequently to encourage deep rooting and drought-tolerance. 6. Mulch: Apply a layer of organic matter to: protect roots from elements, enrich soil, and control weeds. 7. Proper maintenance: Your landscape will require less maintenance over time. Visit the Xeriscape Demonstration Garden at McArthur Island or the Harrington Road Booster Station at 790 Harrington Road for inspiration.

LOCAL NEWS ‘What we’re trying to do is get an overall perspective and understanding of the residents’ opinion towards mining.”

New ﬁre chief will make more By Andrea Klassen STAFF REPORTER

— ROBIN BARTLETT, KGHM AJAX

Yes, that phone poll was from KGHM Ajax mentally friendly way. Responders said they weren’t asked for demographic information, outside of their names. Robin Bartlett, spokeswoman for KGHM Ajax, confirmed the poll is being conducted on behalf of the company, which wants to build an open-pit copper and gold mine south of Aberdeen. “We’re not trying to find any statistical information or quantitative results,” she said. “Basically what we’re trying to do is get an overall perspective and understanding of the residents’ opinion towards mining.” Bartlett said similar phone surveys are conducted periodically by the company, with the results used internally and not released to the public.

A telephone poll on the importance of mining currently underway in Kamloops is the work of Ajax mine proponents KGHM Ajax. Over the past several days, numerous residents have reported being called for the poll, which asks whether mining is an “essential part of the Kamloops economy.” According to respondents, a ‘no’ answer ends the poll after one question. Those who said mining was important to the local economy were then asked to agree with one of two statements — that the environment is more important than any economic benefits from a mine or that mining can be done in an environ-

Kamloops’ next fire chief will likely end up with a heftier paycheque than the man he or she replaces. During an interview with KTW, City of Kamloops CAO David Trawin said a review of salaries in similarly sized communities found the Kamloops chief’s pay wasn’t on par with other communities. “It’s very low, what we pay right now,” he said.

this spring, following a personal leave of absence. The city has temporarily called back former Kamloops Fire Rescue head Gary McCall to fill in until a new chief is hired. Second-round interviews for the position took place last week, confirmed corporate services and community safety director David Duckworth. The city had five candidate shortlisted, from a pool of nearly 30 applicants, when it first began interviewing in June.

“So, we’re looking at bringing that up into the average, based on what other communities pay.” According to the city’s statement of financial information, former chief Neill Moroz made just over $146,000 in 2012. Financial reporting from comparable communities shows fire chiefs in Prince George and Nanaimo made about $148,000 last year. Chilliwack’s chief made $150,000 in 2011. Moroz retired unexpectedly

From doughnut to Dream Home By Cavelle Layes

Y Dream Home Lottery grand-prize winner Sally Wong sits at the dining room table for the first time after being presented with the keys to her new home this week. For more photos of Wong and her new, $588,000 abode, go online to kamloopsthisweek.com. Dave Eagles/KTW

STAFF REPORTER reporter@kamloopsthisweek.com

The biggest thing she had previously won was a Tim Hortons’ doughnut. Today, Sally Wong is still in shock after winning the Kamloops YMCA-YWCA Dream Home. Wong purchased her ticket on a whim after a little encouragement from a friend. She had only purchased a ticket once before and was a little leery of the cost. In the end, it was knowing the money was going to a good cause that convinced Wong to make the $100 investment – which has paid off in a major way. Wong was in disbelief when she received the phone call telling her she had won the home. At 3,000 square feet, the technologically advanced home, valued at almost $610,000, is a massive step up from her two-bedroom, 800-square-foot Merritt bungalow. Wong was in awe

as she toured her new home for the first time on Tuesday, July 9, having only seen it on the virtual tour. “I could definitely see myself living here,” Wong said. The house has four bedrooms, one of which is set up as a den, three bathrooms and an openconcept basement that can be turned into whatever would best suit Wong’s lifestyle. There are upgrades installed throughout the house including mechanical-kitchen cupboards that open on

their own when the side it pressed. Wong joked that with the large kitchen equipped with topof-the-line appliances valuing $20,000, she no longer has an excuse not to cook. “The virtual tour just doesn’t do it justice,” she said as she walked down the halls, “it is beautiful.” Wong had been thinking hard about buying a home in Kamloops to avoid the commute back and forth from Merritt to Kamloops for her job as

KAMLOOPS GOLF & COUNTRY CLUB is celebrating

a Ministry of Citizens’ Services and Open Government worker. “I was looking for something I could afford,” she said. At just $100, the Y Dream Home certainly fits the bill, she joked. Wong is looking forward to breaking in her new abode and hopes to throw a party when she does. Wong thinks the house will be a perfect fit. “I need to figure out what to do with my previous home,” she explained.

Wong hopes to use the Dream Home as a stepping stone to helping out other family members. The proceeds from the Kamloops YMCAYWCA dream home lottery will go to the youth programs undertaken by the Kamloops branch, said Y CEO Colin Reid. This will include helping support families and youth to ensure everyone has a fair chance at attending their programs, buying new equipment and improving the building. While Reid does not know the exact amount raised at this time, he expects that the total will be slightly higher than previous years. “It just depends on where all the bills come in at,” Reid said.

NHL’s buyout rules has my mind skating in circles

’M NOT A MATH WHIZ BY any means, but these compliance buyouts in the new National Hockey League, after the last labour agreement, are starting to make my head spin. Basically, it works like this: Former stars like Vincent Lecavalier and Keith Ballard get paid a lot of money to no longer play for one team and then go and sign for more money with another team to play against the team that is still paying them. Got it? For example, the Vancouver Canucks said goodbye to Ballard by buying out the last two years of his contract with the team, a day after he cleared waivers (meaning no other NHL team wanted him, at least at the price the Canucks were paying him). Then, the Minnesota Wild, in the same division as the Canucks by the way, sign Ballard at a reduced rate (we’re still talking millions here, folks) to play for their team and, of course, against those same Canucks who just agreed to hand over all that money. I know it’s all about salary caps and giving teams more room to sign other players they still like or hope to lure to their team, but it’s unsettling to us common folk who don’t have employers scrambling to give us money, especially when we don’t live up to expectations. Heavy sigh. And speaking of management screwing up with long-term contracts for big money (which, by the way, they continue to do), the solution to

GLENN MITCHELL Guest

SHOT the Canucks’ goaltender controversy took a lot of people by surprise. Disbelief greeted the news that Cory Schneider had been dispatched to New Jersey for a first-round pick. Instant comments I received ranged from, “Do they know they traded the wrong goalie?” to “That’s all they got for him?’ to “Yeah, right, that’s not funny.” But it was true. And, although at one level it’s understandable — Vancouver received a first-round forward with tons of potential and no one, apparently, was willing to take on Roberto Luongo’s contract — the Canucks also traded a guy who they said was their No. 1 goalie today and into the future for some guy named Bo. What could they have got for Schneider if they traded him at the deadline last season? With some distance from the transaction, I’m more at peace with it — as if I have a choice. Luongo can still be a No. 1 goalie and the jury was still out on Schneider in the playoffs. So, it may work out — or it could

backfire exponentially. Only time will tell. Speaking of odd transactions, the Canucks basically ended up swapping coach Alain Vigneault for the New York Rangers coach John Tortorella. Well, that’s how it ended up, but first both teams fired their respective coaches, then went looking for a new coach, which they signed to new, long-term contracts — and it just happened to be the other team’s coach. Got it? Gee, sounds similar to the compliance buyout thing — except coaches don’t get put on waivers and they don’t get traded for each other, normally. It’s too bad, though, because each team could have saved a lot of money and hassle. It also sounds like the league and its teams are throwing a lot of cash around — and who knows which teams will actually benefit from all of this? In any event, it all makes for fodder in the July version of the hot-stove league — like it’s not hot enough already around here. OK, that’s it. No more hockey columns until at least August. When not working full-time as a Canucks fan, Glenn Mitchell is the managing editor of the Vernon Morningstar. He can be reached by email at glenn@vernonmorningstar.com.

A video posted recently to YouTube of a bear in Maple Ridge entering a pickup truck by unlatching the doors might be funny for viewers safely ensconced in their concrete and glass condos, but encounters with wildlife in urban areas rarely end well — for the animals. It seems every spring and summer, there are sightings of bears in urban neighbourhoods ambling through backyards and down alleys, tipping over garbage cans and pawing at bird feeders. Recently, a deer somehow managed to wander through the busy streets of New Westminster for hours before conservation officers were finally notified. Sadly the otherwise healthy and robust deer didn’t survive the shot from a tranquilizer gun. This week, conservation officers had to kill a young cougar that had been prowling the backyards of Batchelor Heights, presumably dining on small wildlife and house pets. One of the great allures of living in B.C. is the vast natural wilderness that begins right in our backyard. It’s easy to be at a grocery store in the morning and then have a picnic in the middle of nature, with hills and trees for as far as the eye can see, in the afternoon. Odds are there are creatures amongst those trees. And sometimes they wander out of those woods and into our streets. At first blush it may seem an infringement on our space, but we have to remember their ancestors were here long before us. We’re encroaching on territories and behaviours bred into them for thousands of years. We need to respect their coexistence with us.

Actually, mankind is at its most caring in history Editor: Re: Pastor Karel Samek’s Faith column of July 4 (‘Finding a way in our all-tooviolent society’): I would like to point out to Samek that he is very illinformed as to the status of our universe when he states, “Today we watch violence everywhere around the globe and it’s growing.”

This is not true. As Canadian-born cognitive scientist, experimental psychologist, linguist and science author Steven Pinker — named in 2004 by Time Magazine the world’s most influential scientist — pointed out so clearly in his very well documented book The Better Angels of Our Nature, the human race continues to improve quite signifi-

cantly over the past hundreds of years. Humans are so much more civilized, so much more caring toward each other than at any time in history. Samek will feel much more positive and optimistic about the world and humanity if he will stop getting his information from the media and entertainment sector and look at

what is really going on in our world. Granted, there is still plenty of suffering, pain and injustice among the world’s population of seven-billion-plus. But, let’s try not to lose perspective. Look at the total picture. It is so very encouraging. Joe Denison Kamloops

The criteria for judging is tidiness, environmental action, heritage conservation, urban forestry, landscape, floral displays and community involvement. “We have an opportunity to have our community showcased internationally,” said Gay Pooler, Kamloops Communities in Bloom co-chair. “It’s an opportunity to have international judges come out and evaluate our city,” she said. “We will get suggestions on what to do better and what we are doing well. It’s valuable to have that input.” Raymond Carrière, founding president of the Canadian Communities in Bloom organization, has twice visited Kamloops. His two favourite memories of the city are “a heart that is shared with the Secwepemc First Nations community” and McArthur Island, which he said is “a good example of what a green space should be.” According to Carrière, Kamloops demonstrates the

Kamloops Habitat is back

LUMBERJACK TIME IN CHASE The Canadian Lumberjack Stihl Series is coming to Chase this weekend. To read a preview, go online to kamloopsthisweek.com.

AGM lunch to be held on Monday, July 15 By Andrea Klassen STAFF REPORTER andrea@kamloopsthisweek.com

When Habitat for Humanity Kamloops (HFHK) last set out to build a home in the Tournament Capital, it was a tougher-thanusual mission. About three months into the project, an arsonist set fire to the Park Street duplex in North Kamloops, razing the building to its foundation and destroying construction materials. While volunteers were able to finish the project, albeit later than originally planned, David Morris thinks the experience helps explain why the local organization hasn’t built a house since. “I think it probably hurt morale in the organization,” said the HFHK interim executive director, who arrived in Kamloops with the express goal of getting Habitat back to its roots. “When I started working with

the affiliate at the beginning of January and I said, ‘What I really want to do is push to get us back to building’, the reaction was. ‘Oh great, it’s about time’,” Morris said Earlier this week, HFHK representatives toured three prospective sites for a new project, one of which Morris said is particularly exciting for the group. The goal is to have a home in the works this fall. Morris said the group is looking for affordable land, but not necessarily a bare lot. “More and more what Habitat does, as well as building new homes, is we’ll buy substandard housing and, if the building can be salvaged, we do a major renovation of it,” he said. “In other cases, if the building can’t be salvaged, we demolish it and build a new home.” Once land is secured, the group will look for sponsors and volunteers. Morris also hopes to bring

Thompson Rivers University trades and technology students onboard for all aspects of the project. That partnership could help with one of his longer-term goals — to get HFHK building three to four homes are year “to start.” Morris said it’s not unheard of. In Edmonton, Habitat for Humanity is set to build about 80 homes this year. And, he said, the need is there. “We tend to work with families that are working,” he said. “They can pay a mortgage, but they probably don’t qualify for a standard bank mortgage. “I think that’s hitting more and more families, the great divide that we’re seeing in society now.” HFHK holds its annual general meeting on Monday, July 15 at the Coast Kamloops Hotel and Conference Centre, 1250 Rogers Way, from 11:30 a.m. to 2 p.m. For more information go online to habitatkamloops.ca.

DID YOU KNOW?

The Big Little Science Centre will host a Junior Camp (ages 6 to 8) and a Girls Only Robotics Camp (ages 10 and up) from July 15 to July 19, a Senior Camp (ages 9 and up) from July 22 to July 26 and a Robotics Camp for boys and girls (ages 10 and up) from July 29 to Aug. 2. “I would love to see them completely full so everyone can enjoy them,” Hammond said. New this year, the centre has been invited to host the Secwepemc summer science camp, which had previously been organized by groups from outside of Kamloops. Hammond said there will be off-site and onsite events thanks to the use of a van provided by the Tk’emlups Indian Band. For more information on the centre’s camps, go online to blscs.org. The centre will be open Tuesdays to Saturdays from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. throughout the summer. There will be two daily shows at 11 a.m. and 1:30 p.m.

5 The Big Little Science Centre (BLSC) was created by Gordon Gore, a retired science teacher, in 2000. 5 The BLSC is run by a small staff of mostly volunteers who are sometimes post-secondary students looking to gain work experience. 5 The BLSC has on-site day-care programs. 5 Membership at the BLSC will get you discounted or free entry to many other members of the Canadian Association of Science Centers, including Telus World of Science in Vancouver and Edmonton.

5 The BLSC works with the Kamloops-Thompson school district to help demonstrate science that can be taught in the classroom. 5 The BLSC hosts events for international students visiting the Kamloops area and will have events in August for visiting Chinese students. 5 The BLSC is open to party bookings, including birthday parties, Christmas parties and special occasions. 5 Participants in the robotics summer camps will have use of their own laptop provided by the BLSC. 5 New Gold and Watson Engineering Limited are sponsors of the robotics camps.

Tk’emlups says transit service not cost-effective By Andrea Klassen STAFF REPORTER andrea@kamloopsthisweek.com

Another deadline to bring transit service to the Tk’emlups Indian Band (TIB) reserve looms, but it doesn’t look like buses will be rolling up Sun Rivers Drive any time soon. TIB Chief Shane Gottfriedson told KTW the band won’t be paying for transit right now because it doesn’t believe

the demand for service is there. “It’s not cost-feasible,” he said. “There’s not enough riders to make it pay for itself. There’s no sense us subsidizing something that doesn’t pay for itself.” In the spring of 2012, the band met with the City of Kamloops and BC Transit to hammer out the details of a service plan that would have included eight to 12 hours of bus

service on the reserve on weekdays, as well as more limited weekend service. At the time, it was estimated the service would cost the band $235,000 at maximum. As per usual, BC Transit would also chip in about $220,000. BC Transit spokeswoman Meribeth Burton said then that service could be mere months away. Now, Burton said, the band has until September

to decide if it wants transit, though she is already aware it’s unlikely that will happen. “We understand that smaller communities have funding challenges and we’ve come together with the City of Kamloops and with Sun Rivers to talk about a funding structure, but it exists at the same level in every community,” she said. “It’s not final. There’s still a deadline and there’s

still a window of opportunity. But, yeah, there’s an indication that funding will not be coming.” Burton said transitservice options have been presented to the band three times. But, if the TIB decides it wants service at some point in the future, Burton said BC Transit is willing to discuss that. Burton said she understands it’s a “small but passionate” group of

Sun Rivers residents who really want to see transit arrive, but conceded there may be less-vocal potential riders there. “The beauty of transit is when you have a service there and it’s accessible and it’s efficient and effective, people will use

it,” she said. Gottfriedson said the band has done studies and, while he didn’t know the demand off-hand, he said “the level of service that was required and the number of riders just doesn’t add up.”

INEZ RUTH LOUCKS

ROBERT JULIUS JOSEPH ROSS

Inez Ruth Loucks (nee Carey), aged 90, passed away on Saturday, June 29, 2013. Inez was predeceased by her husband of 57 years Charles Howard Loucks and is survived by her 6 children Norman, Barbara, Bob (Deb), Doug (Linda), Judy (Andy) and Clifford (Carrie). In addition, she will be lovingly remembered by her numerous grandchildren and great grandchildren, as well as a number of nieces and nephews. And we, all of her family immediate and extended will remember her for her love of life, her generosity and the joy she shared in life’s little treasures.

1945 ~ 2013

Inez and Howie were married in 1942 and moved from Regina to Calgary to Nelson and Ànally settled in Kamloops in 1955. Throughout the years Inez was involved in numerous organizations such as Lady Lions, the Boys and Girls Club and the Kamloops Skating club and was known for her excellent sewing, costume designing and mastery of numerous skills and hobbies. All her children could count on the fact that whatever sport or organization they chose to be involved in, Mom was always there, supporting them and the club. You would think that being a wife, a homemaker and Mom for 6 children and being involved in all their activities would have been enough to manage but that wasn’t the case. In her early years in Kamloops Inez was an Usherette at the Paramount Theatre, was a book keeper for a local business and later managed the Bookstore at Cariboo College, now known as TRU. She retired at age 65 as the Manager of the Kinsie Wool Shop at Aberdeen Mall and will be remembered by many patrons for the help she gave them with their various projects. Inez’s family would like to extend a special thanks to the Nurses of the Royal inland Hospital ICU and 5th Áoors for their compassionate and supportive care for Mom and the family during Mom’s last days. Respecting Inez’s wishes there will not be a memorial service. Cremation has been provided by Schoening Funeral Service and messages to the family may be left at: www.schoeningfuneralservice.com. Should friends desire, donations in memory of Inez may be made to the Heart and Stroke Foundation of Canada or charity of your choice.

CECILE CLARE 1941-2013 On June 25, 2013 Cecile Clare passed away in Kamloops, BC at the age of 71 years. She will be remembered by her daughters Karen (Mike), Sandra and Kelly (Shawn); grandchildren Keegan, Kurtis, Jalisa, Jessica and Maggie; and siblings Gord (Phyllis) and Ruth. Cecile was predeceased by her husband Jim, parents Jasper and Caroline and by siblings Phyllis, Caroline, Josephine and Joe. A Memorial Service will be held on Friday, July 12, 2013 at the Kamloops Funeral Home Chapel at 11:00 am with Chaplin Mary Widmer ofﬁciating. Interment to follow at the Hillside Cemetery. Due to allergies the family wishes that you please refrain from wearing scented products. In lieu of ﬂowers, donations to Kamloops SPCA would be greatly appreciated in memory of Cecile.

Robert Julius Joseph Ross, 67, lost his battle to cancer July 4th, 2013. Survived by his wife Lynda, daughters Melanie, Carla and Kristy, as well as four grandsons Brodie, Nathan, Warren and Clayton. Founder and proud proprietor of Ross Chocolates, Robert was always willing to take a business risk. His Sugar-Free Chocolate Bars are merely one of his accomplishments. His legacy: “To always live life to the fullest,” will remain with us forever. Robert was a devoted family man who had a bright outlook on life. He had the most boisterous, infectious laugh that if you heard it, you would never forget, and a heart bigger than life itself. He loved to listen to some good old oldies tunes, enjoyed a game of bocce ball and a BBQ with family and friends. He will be missed by all that knew him.

EVERY LOSS IS DIFFERENT Each loss is very different, The pain is so severe. Will I ever stop missing This one I loved so dear? Good times we had together, The moments that we shared We didn’t have to tell each other How much we really cared. I never dreamed you’d go away, Never thought of sorrow. So sure you’d always be here Took for granted each tomorrow. Now my life is all confused Since you went away. You took a part of me And for help I daily pray. But when God sent you to me He never said that you were mine, That I could keep you always Only borrowed for a time. Now, He’s called you home, I’m sad and I shed tears. Yet I’m glad He loaned you to me And we had these many years.

Like a ray of sunlight on a cloudy afternoon, Gone too soon. Like a castle built upon a sandy beach, Gone too soon. Like a perfect ﬂower that is just beyond your reach, Gone too soon. Born to amuse, to inspire, to delight Here one day, gone one night. Like a sunset dying with the rising of the moon, Gone too soon, gone too soon. You are forever in our memories Sadly missed by your children, Rory and Leah Father Ben, brothers Ian and Duncan, sister Jacqui Law & family (Scotland)

Beautiful memories Silently kept Of one that we loved And will never forget.

Alberta ﬂooding a mental-health issue

E HAVE been asked by several people about the impacts of Alberta’s recent natural disaster on mental health. The answer may surprise you. Naturally, different factors impact how people will emotionally and psychologically react and recover from the events. For example, the extent of their loss, the duration of the event, whether there a death involved, including a cherished pet, or if a family member was missing for a period of time. Men tend to handle disasters with fewer impacts than women (according to studies), while children and the elderly are affected most. It is believed elderly people may feel more useless and more of a bother than a contributor after a large natural disaster. How well a person was coping before the event also impacts how much a large-scale emergency will affect mental health afterward. People tend to cope much better if they have a strong social network before the event and are supported by that network after the fact. A complicating factor for emergency and health responders is they often have to deal with issues during and after the event that most do not. They have to try to function without knowing if their own family or properties are safe. In Calgary, hospital workers, firefighters, police officers and others were charged with rescues and support for people coming from neighbourhoods where their own families lived. Electricity and phone services were cut or limited and yet they had to focus on the people in front of them. In the case of Alberta’s disaster, other factors will emerge that will be found to affect how fast people recover emotionally. The flood occurred suddenly with little warning, whereas hurricanes, for example, develop over

several days. Even tornados are often preceded by tornado watches, which help somewhat to emotionally prepare people for an eventual event. After events such as the floods, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) will be the biggest immediate issue, but the next most common psychological effect in the days and weeks that follow is actually depression. Of course there are other mental-health issues that arise and some of them relate to sleep disorders, substance abuse and complicated grief reactions. The good news is that studies done after the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks in Manhattan and in the aftermath of the 2004 tsunami in southeast Asia show that many people who are found to suffer from a related mental-health disorder after a large-scale event will return to their former mental-health status without any intervention. As little as five months after these events, the percentage of PTSD

and depression were almost cut in half from the initial month. If you have friends and family in Alberta and you are wondering how all of this information translates into an action you can take to make a difference for them, you are most likely already doing it — you are reaching out, showing concern, offering assistance on a personal and practical level and keeping in touch often. In B.C., where wildfires can be a life-changing event, it does not hurt to make a plan for your emotional well-being while you are preparing an emergency plan — a place to meet if separated, a place to leave messages if communication is cut and a plan for pets are included in that plan. Thank you for asking this important mental health question. If you have an idea or a question, email us at Kamloops@cmha.bc.ca or follow us on Twitter @CMHAKamloops because we love to hear from you.

Cell door closed on Jail and Bail By Andrea Klassen STAFF REPORTER andrea@kamloopsthisweek.com

Dale Bass wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be back behind bars any time soon. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s because the Thompson-Nicola-Cariboo United Way fundraiser that sent the KTW reporter and other notable Kamloopsians to prison for a day in 2012 wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be returning for 2013. Yves Lacasse, 2013 campaign cabinet chairman for the local United Way, said the Jail and Bail event is being

retired this year. The event, which ran for two years, was a major moneymaker for the United Way, bringing in $47,000 in 2011 and more than $91,000 in 2012. But, Lacasse said, he and United Way executive director Brenda Aynsley want to avoid getting stale in their fundraising. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We talked about how some organizations tend to use the same people and do the same events over and over again

and they seem to lose some momentum,â&#x20AC;? he said. For now, Jail and Bail will go out on a high note and the fundraising team will look for other ways to engage the community. Lacasse doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t think the charityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s bottom line will be hurt if no one slaps Mayor Peter Milobar or Kamloops Blazersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; general manager Craig Bonner in handcuffs this year. Last year, the United Way raised more than $2 million â&#x20AC;&#x201D;

A19

and most of that didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t come from Jail and Bail. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Jail and Bail was just one small portion of this whole thing,â&#x20AC;? Lacasse said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Although it was a fun event with the community that raised a lot of money, there are other events taking place that are also raising the big pie.â&#x20AC;? Lacasse said new events to promote the United Way are being discussed. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been a few ideas put on the table, but nothing decided just yet,â&#x20AC;? he said.

Public continues to pitch in for Crystle Public reaction to the plight of Crystle Booth and her teenaged children continues to come to the KTW offices. Boothâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s story came to KTWâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s attention when a local advocate who works with disabled people offered to help the single mom â&#x20AC;&#x201D; her husband died in the accident that left her a paraplegic â&#x20AC;&#x201D; find a van to replace the one that was in an accident and written off by ICBC.

Her story can be read online at http://www.kamloopsthisweek. com/news/211908871.html. That van had already been purchased to replace another one hit by a drunk driver. It was also written off. Both had been adapted with hand controls and a lift so Booth could remain a mobile, active mother and community member. Since publication of the story, many people have sent donations

for the Booth family to KTW. Others have offered lifts and hand controls, things Crystle does not need as she has obtained funding for them â&#x20AC;&#x201D; an estimated $30,000 cost. She requires a newer-model Dodge Caravan for the adaptations. Anyone interested in assisting can drop off donations, ideally cheques made out to Booth, at KTW, 1265B Dalhousie Dr.

Cheveldave traded to PA By Marty Hastings STAFF REPORTER sports@kamloopsthisweek.com

Cole Cheveldave was still digesting the news he had been traded to the Prince Albert Raiders when he spoke with KTW on Wednesday, July 10. “I’m just kind of playing it through my head . . . little bit sad . . . love Kamloops . . . I’ll always be a Blazer, though,” Cheveldave said. “Right after the season, Bones [Blazer general manager Craig Bonner] and the coaches let me know that it was gonna be me or [Taran] Kozun. It just happened to be me being traded.” Kamloops shipped Cheveldave, 20, and a fourthround pick in the 2015 WHL Bantam Draft to Prince Albert in exchange for 15-year-old forward Jake Kryski and a seventh-round pick in 2014. The six-foot, 170-pound Kryski was the Raiders’ firstround selection, 13th overall, in the 2013 bantam draft.

He spent last season with bantam A1 Burnaby Winter Club, finishing with 59 goals and 118 points in 58 games. Kryski racked up 23 points and tied for the scoring lead in the 2013 provincial bantam playoffs. During interviews with scouts, Kryski earmarked Kamloops as a location he would like to play. “Jake is an exceptional player that we are thrilled to add to our young core,” Bonner said. “He has tremendous skills and is an elite-level skater. He will be a fun player to watch.” Cheveldave was the Blazers’ starting goaltender for the past two seasons. The vocal netminder played in 111 games, posting a 70-27-3-4 record and 10 shutouts. He was 13-7 in the playoffs. Kozun, 18, is expected to begin the 2013-2014 campaign as the Blazers’ starting netminder. The Nipawin, Sask., product told KTW after last season he was ready to take over inside

the Blazers’ crease, if given the opportunity. “With two veteran goaltenders on our roster in Cole and Taran, we had to move one out at some point,” Bonner said. The Blazers and Raiders play in Prince Albert on Dec. 13. “PA is a great spot for me,” said Cheveldave, noting he wished the December game was at Interior Savings Centre. “They have a pretty old team this year and they finished strong last year. It’s a new adventure for me.”

Patterson back behind Storm’s bench STAFF REPORTER sports@kamloopsthisweek.com

Ed Patterson, the new head coach of the Kamloops Storm, makes no bones about it — he is a father and a husband first. Coaching comes second. “Where could I stay in junior hockey, get some more coaching experience, apply what I’ve learned, but also get to see my son [Max] play a lot more . . .?” Patterson said at

a press conference on Wednesday, July 10. “With the shorter road trips in the KI [Kootenay International Junior Hockey League], I’m going to get to see almost all of his games.” Patterson was an assistant with the WHL’s Kamloops Blazers for the past two seasons, coaching under Guy Charron and Dave Hunchak. Long WHL road trips made it tough to watch Max — who will play

next season with the bantam AAA Kamloops Jardine’s Blazers — and Patterson, who has been the Storm’s bench boss before, was never quite satisfied in an assistant’s role. “You can’t grow as a coach unless you run your own bench,” said Patterson, who led the Storm to division championships in 2008 and 2009, losing in the KIJHL final both years. “The pressure of winning and the pressure of missing calls

and making mistakes, it has to be on your head to grow.” Former Storm head coach Brad Priestlay will remain with the team in an assisting role alongside Todd Rasmussen. Patterson — a former Blazer who played parts of two seasons with the Pittsburgh Penguins — will be one of the odd men out after the final layoffs are made at the Domtar pulpmill. X See PATTERSON A22

New blood Dewar introduced three new signings at the Wednesday press conference. KMHA products Tyler White, 17, Addison Bazian, 16, and Myles Jarvis-Rorison, 16, will all suit up for the Storm next season.

Niedermayer ﬁrst Blazer heading to Hall Scott Niedermayer will become the first Kamloops Blazers alumnus in the Hockey Hall of Fame (HHOF) when he is officially inducted in November. He was named to the class of 2013 alongside Chris Chelios, Brendan Shanahan, Geraldine Heaney and the late Fred Shero on Tuesday, July 9. Niedermayer won four Stanley Cups and

won the Conn Smythe — MVP of the Stanley Cup playoffs — in 2007. The former Blazers’ defenceman won the Norris Trophy — handed out to the league’s best blue liner — in 2003-2004 and was a first- or second-team NHL all-star four times. His list of accomplishments includes, and is not nearly exclusive to, two

Olympic gold medals with Canada, one gold medal at the IIHF World Hockey Championship, hoisting the World Cup of Hockey, a gold medal at the World Junior Hockey Championship, a Memorial Cup and two WHL championships. The induction ceremony will be held at the HHOF in Toronto on Nov. 11.

“He’s going to help with marketing for the Storm and the KMHA [Kamloops Minor Hockey Association] and he’s working with hockey camps,” Storm owner and GM Barry Dewar said. “We hope that between the two organizations, he’ll be able to make a decent living and support his family. That’s why he left the last time. We just don’t pay enough.” Patterson said coaching with Hunchak and Charron has given him a wealth of new ideas, some of which he attends to apply in the junior B ranks. “If I can take a piece from everybody and combine it into one, I think I’ll do well,” Patterson said. “Hopefully, we can win that championship we lost two times in the finals.”

In round-robin play, the Blaze tied 1-1 with Saanich, edged North Vancouver 2-1 and tied 0-0 with Richmond. Sasha Sirianni (2), Avery Marshall

There will be no shortage of good, local eats later this month as Farm2Chefs’ fundraiser returns for its fourth year. Billed as “a local culinary grazing event,” Farm2Chefs’ fundraiser will bring together more than 20 local restaurants, pubs, breweries, wineries and caterers to showcase the best of what local farmers and producers have to offer. Chefs will create tasty one-bite dishes, local wineries and breweries will pour some of their fine beverages and live entertainment — courtesy the Henry Small Band — will be on stage. Money raised will go toward the Farm2Chefs Grant — a fund available to local farmers and food-security groups. This year’s event will be at Sun River Organics Farm, 3390 Shuswap Rd., on Sunday, July 28, between 5 p.m. and 8 p.m. Tickets are $60 for adults, $40 for youth between 12 and 18, $20 for kids between six and 11 and free for children under five years of age. They are available at the Kamloops Farmer’s Market or online at brownpapertickets.com/ event/252351. Farm2Chefs is a non-profit society with the goal of connecting local farms and producers with local restaurants. Formed in 2010, the organization now has more than 70 members.

This weekend will be a big one at Sun Peaks Thousands of people are expected to flock to Sun Peaks this weekend for the first free show of the mountain resort’s 2013 Summer Concert Series. Canadian music legend Burton Cummings and his band are the headliners, capping off a day of music from other regional entertainers on Saturday, July 13. “We are expecting a great turnout this weekend,” said Christopher Nicolson, president of Tourism Sun Peaks. “People will be enjoying the concert, but also exploring our other summer experiences, such as golfing, mountain biking, canoeing and others activities while taking part in the exciting village ambiance.” Village restaurants and businesses are preparing for the large influx of guests. Included in the preparations is a new beer garden with barbecue open from 4 p.m. to 10 p.m. above the concert venue on the Sunbeam ski run. Musical entertainment will begin at 11 a.m. in the village, ramping up to opening bands on the main stage beginning at 4 p.m. Cummings and his band are

HAFI adapts homes for B.C. seniors and people with disabilities

Brenda has always been an active woman. However, recent health issues including osteoarthritis in her left knee and losing kidney function have slowed her down. Her mobility is limited and she is now on dialysis three days a week. To adjust to her changed circumstances, Brenda sought help with her daily living activities. Part of that help came from the Home Adaptations for Independence (HAFI) program offered through BC Housing. Launched in January 2012, the HAFI program provides financial assistance to help eligible low-income seniors and people with disabilities adapt their homes so they can continue to live independently. Brenda applied for a new walk-in bathtub because she couldn’t safely get out of the tub on her own. Walk-in tubs include additional safety measures such as anti-slip floors, grab bars, and a very low step in. Home adaptations may also include handrails in halls or stairs, ramps for

H O U S I N G M AT T E R S

easier access, easy-to-reach work and storage areas in the kitchen, lever handles on doors or faucets, walk-in showers, and bathtub grab bars and seats. Brenda is a strong advocate for the program and has even shared HAFI brochures with nurses in the renal unit where she undergoes dialysis. If you or someone you know is having difficulty performing day-to-day activities safely and independently – the HAFI program may be able to help. Since the program began, more than 300 households completed renovations with HAFI financial assistance, making it possible for seniors and people with disabilities to continue to live in the safety and comfort of their home.

FREE SINK with purchase of ‘We’re going to rock them’ By Cavelle Layes STAFF REPORTER reporter@kamloopsthisweek.com

FEW YEARS AGO, Burton Cummings was in the middle of a major tour jammed full of shows — travelling and all that comes with it. While Cummings had wanted to do as many shows as he could, he realized mid-way through he had bitten off more than he could chew. “I am only getting older,” Cummings said, explaining that, now, he only does two nights of shows and then takes a day off. He ended up cancelling a number of concerts — including a stop in Kamloops. Cummings described feeling horrible for his fans in the area. “I was waiting for an oppor-

tunity to make it up to them,” he said. Now, the rock legend has finally found that opportunity and will be taking the stage in Sun Peaks for a free-admission show on Saturday, July 13. “I’m coming,” Cummings said. “And, we’re going to rock them.” Fans can expect to hear close to two hours of Cummings’ hit songs throughout the night. “I won’t be playing too much new stuff because I know what people expect and they want the hits,” he said. Cummings, now 65, was a member of the internationally famous Canadian band Guess Who for 10 years before beginning his solo career in 1975. With over 50 years in the

music industry under his belt, Cummings is not ready to leave the stage just yet. It is not a matter of retiring, he said, explaining he still has many years to go before age would deter him. “As long as I can give people a good show, I will keep going.,” he said. “When that stops happening, I will stop and, trust me, I will know when it starts to get lame.” Cummings does admit he is getting older and, as a result, touring is getting harder. “It doesn’t matter if it is on a plane or train,” he said. “It takes a lot out of you. “I still love the time on stage — it’s the rest that gets tough. “It’s that other 22 hours of the day that I’m not on it.”

WEEKLY CROSSWORD

Cummings says he’s ‘lucky’ to have had ﬁve-decade music career X From B5

For Cummings, however, it is all worth it in the end. He loves interacting with his audience, he said, and seeing how they connect with his songs. “I see people crying, wives grabbing their husbands and parents holding their children,” he said. “Anyone in the blessed position to be able to do that is lucky.” While he excels at instrumentation as much as he does singing, it is the writing that Cummings truly values. “It is quite simple,” Cummings said. “You can be a great singer or a great player. But, if you don’t have anything to sing or play, where are you? “If I didn’t write my own songs I don’t think I would have had as long of a career.” Cummings has had a career most can only dream of, playing on countless stages and touring all areas of the world. He said playing the three-day Seattle Pop Festival in 1969 is his favourite musical memory. Twenty-six musicians played throughout the event, including

industry icons Led Zeppelin, The Doors, Ike and Tina Turner and Alice Cooper. “We got to play for three days, see all these amazing acts and play on the same stages,” said Cummings. “I was 20 at the time. I was still a kid. “It was so much better than Woodstock, but nobody filmed it.” His other most memorable event was when he played the SARS Benefit Concert in Toronto in 2003. Cummings said he was astounded by the amount of people who came out to support the city in need. “You couldn’t see the end of the audience,” Cummings said. “It met the horizon and kept going.” Despite his iconic career, Cummings continues to stay humble and is looking forward to making good with fans in the Tournament Capital who were let down last time he was scheduled to make a stop. More information on this weekend’s show can be found online at sunpeaksresort.com/events-andfestivals/concerts.

FAITH

Was Jesus more than a great moral teacher?

1954 letter written by Albert Einstein to philosopher Erik Gutkind has the famous scientist saying belief in God is “childish superstition.” Though the letter did not mention his view of Jesus, redeeming the latter from associated superstitious views would perhaps place him at best in a moral category — and nothing else. Among the many myths surrounding Jesus of Nazareth, a prominent one goes like this: “Yes, Jesus was a good man, a great moral teacher, but only that.” With the drop of a hat, many would acknowledge Jesus was an important figure in world history. This Galilean peasant-teacher has had more influence on humankind than any other person. But, was he anything more than that?

NARAYAN MITRA You Gotta Have FAITH We date our era by him. Our educational system, values, standards, laws, love of justice and freedom owe much to him. Art, music, sculpture, thought and literature have been taken up with Jesus more than with any other over 2,000 years. Yet, he is, for all practical purposes, ignored, except by a minority, partly because he is inconvenient and his very name makes us uncomfortable. And so, he is condescendingly dismissed with a wave of hand and

the comment, “Jesus? Yes, of course, he was a great moral teacher.” Now, undoubtedly he was a great teacher, one in a class of his own. He spoke with great authority: “You have heard it said, but I tell you . . . “ He spoke with simplicity so ordinary people could understand him. He taught with remarkable depth: “Love your enemies; do good to those who mistreat you,” an exceedingly effective way of dealing with violent opposition. His wisdom silenced opponents time and again. No wonder people marvelled at the teaching of this man who lacked any higher education. No wonder they followed him everywhere, hanging on every word of his. But, something else is remarkable about Jesus and his teaching. As well as teaching

the highest standards known to mankind, he actually kept them. Not only did he teach people to love their enemies, but he also forgave those who crucified him. Yes, Jesus was a great moral teacher. But, neither he nor his followers would allow us to get away with the idea he was that and no more. Jesus was either someone much more or much less. He made the most astonishing claims, claims that have never been paralleled by any sane person. He claimed he could forgive people’s sins, that he had the right to their worship and that he alone represented the way to God. To be sure, Jesus did not go around saying, “I am God.” That would have been utterly misleading and totally incomprehensible. But, all four Gospels

bristle with supernatural claims on his part. If he was only a teacher, he was a very misleading one, indeed. Therefore, to say Jesus was simply a good moral teacher is untenable. It means ignoring half the evidence. If he is not the one who made God real by sharing our human nature, he is either an untrustworthy liar or a deluded imbecile. Why should we believe his claims? Many have made false claims for themselves. Most psychiatric wards house deluded individuals. It is, and it ought to be, very difficult to think of Jesus as more than a man. And yet, what are the alternatives? Was he a sham? Is it credible that this man, who was so ruthless against hypocrisy, should have built his whole ministry on lies?

Church is boring? You may be surprised. Come try us out.

Is it possible he would have allowed himself to be executed in the most excruciating way for what he knew to be untrue? Or was he simply mistaken? That would hardly do. If the greatest teacher of all is mistaken about the central issue of his life and claims, he is not such a great teacher after all. If we decline to credit what he has to say about his origin and authority, why should we pay any attention to the rest of his teaching? Did Jesus perhaps suffer delusions of grandeur? Maybe this carpenterteacher had ideas above his station and his claims to deity were the result of some mental imbalance? This position is hard to substantiate. There are normally three key symptoms in those who are mentally

ill: They have inadequacy in relating to the real world, they display inadequacy in personal relationships and they are marked by inadequacy in communication. One has only to mention the three symptoms to see they are each utterly inapplicable to Jesus — he was the supreme communicator, he possessed the most devastating insight into reality and he was, of all people, the most loving and strong in relationships. Jesus of Nazareth was not simply a great moral teacher. He cuts too deep and steps out too far from the crowd for that. We can call him a liar if we think we can sustain such a charge. We can cast doubts on his mental state. But, the tag, “only a moral teacher,” does not identify him. narayanmitra@ hotmail.com

CUISINE

A smooth summer

LL DAY I’D been working at it. I wiggled it this way and that. I ran into the bathroom every few minutes and peered into the mirror, waiting to discover whether it was nearly ready and only hanging on by a few fleshy threads, easily broken. I tied it to one end of a string of floss and tied the other end to a doorknob. Then, according to instructions I had received from my older sister, SLAM! But, nothing. No matter what I did, my first loose tooth would not be moved. So I sought a little divine intervention. That night, I used my bedtime prayers as a reminder a little Tooth Fairy money would come in handy before the weekend, which is when I got to buy a new book and some candy (Jelly Bellies and giant Gob Stoppers the size of duck eggs) at the local Nutters store. Plus, if I lost a tooth, mom would be certain to make a batch of fresh fruit popsicles to sooth the hurt. I knelt and I beseeched. Then I did my very best to stay awake all night because a swallowed tooth was evidence of nothing. “We could try the pliers,” I said to my mom the next morning. “You tell me when you think you’re ready for pliers, and then we’ll go see Grandpa,” Mom said, knowing courage

DARCIE HOSSACK Bon APPÉTIT of the moment tended to waver during the course of a 20-minute drive into the country. “You could do it,” I said. “Teeth come out when they’re ready,” she said. “Usually when you stop trying.” Sulkily, I went into the kitchen, climbed up onto the counter and took down a Jell-O butterscotch pudding and tore off its foil lid. Then, after a few spoonfuls, it happened. I suddenly felt the unmistakable, if firsttime, sensation of a tooth lolling around in my pudding-filled mouth, like a little polished stone. A pearl, worth its weight in dollar bills! I fished it out, licked off the pudding and ran to show it to mom. By morning, the tooth was gone and a $5 bill had been left in its place. Eureka! I counted my remaining baby teeth, multiplied them times five, guesstimated a little more for the molars, a little less for eye teeth and set about waiting for my fortune to roll in. Which it did — but only as fast as I could

spend it. The popsicles were really good, though, and they could be made with or without a tooth to trade. Fast forward to today and instead of a tiny white baby tooth all shiny and new in a jar, I have some crumbled bits of molar. And instead of the Tooth Fairy, I have a dentist who doesn’t doubt that Jelly Bellies and Gobstoppers had something to do with today’s broken tooth. “When a tooth has a filling that big,” he says, “its walls aren’t very stable.” Add a tendency to clench and it was only a matter of time. Temporary cement now holds together what’s left of the tooth and an estimate for a crown sits heavily on the kitchen counter. Every so often, I go to the mirror and look, thinking about the drilling that will begin early next week. I get out some frozen fruit and make a puree to pour into my favourite sail-shaped popsicle moulds. Then, picking up the little blue medicine jar that contains my broken bits of tooth, I have an inspiration. I take the jar upstairs and, together with the estimate, stuff it all under my pillow. Maybe, just maybe, the Tooth Fairy has a finance department. Darcie Friesen is author of Mennonites Don’t Dance.

Double L’s video nabs second in B.C. By Emalee Higgins DOUBLE L 4-H CLUB REPORTER editor@kamloopsthisweek.com

It has been an amazing, but busy, year so far for members of the Double L 4-H Club. In February and March, we held the communications component of the 4-H program. Each member is required to do a speech or a one- or two-person demonstration. All of our members did a great job and the two days were successful because of the wonderful volunteers we had to judge. In April, we had a vet day to ensure all of our animals are in good health and ready for the busy year ahead of us. Thank you to Kamloops Veterinarian Clinic for helping out and teaching us how to look after our horses. In late April, we attended the first judging day of the year. Despite the weather being very cold, fun was had by all 4-H

Emalee Higgins and her horse, Woody.

members in the district. The event was hosted by Doug and Lori Haughton, who very kindly let us take over their arena and corrals for an entire day. Our club also made a Shout Out For Ag video that was posted on the 4-H website. The video was a lot of fun to make and, as a reward, our club placed second in the province. Fundraising is an important component of being a member of a club. On April 27, we held a successful bottle drive in Knutsford. May found our club attending the Kamloops and District Judging Rally at the BC Livestock Grounds. It was a great day. All members judged three classes, followed by a safety demonstration — and still had time to visit with friends. Last weekend, we all met at Brandt Ranch in Pritchard for an amazing clinic with Ross Hanson. I learned a lot and will be practising

I want to thank everyone who has volunteered their time to be a judge at our 4-H events. Without the continued support of people in our community, this program would not be what it is today.

everything I was taught. Next on the agenda for our club is Okanagan 4-H Stock Show in Armstrong, where we will get three days of riding lessons before putting on a show to demonstrate what we learned.
