EIGHT CHARGED IN COCAINE-RING STING By Tim Petruk STAFF REPORTER tim@kamloopsthisweek.com

Eight men have been charged in connection with a cocaine ring linked to a notorious Lower Mainland gang busted by Kamloops Mounties in October 2012. Drug-trafficking charges have been laid against Christopher Keith Anderson, 22, Tyrell MacDougall, 29, Bradley Charles Edwards, 42, Christopher William Bayers, 24, and Adam John McCaw, 38. In addition, Steven Lloyd Currie, 28, Jean-Claude Auger, 37, and Richard Arthur Crawford, 31, have been charged with counts of commission of an offence for a criminal organization and conspiracy to commit an indictable offence. All of the accused are from Kamloops. The offence dates range from April 2012 to October 2012. Investigators believe the trafficking ring was linked to the United Nations gang in the Lower Mainland, but Kamloops RCMP Insp. Jennie Latham stopped short of saying the notorious criminal organization was or is operating

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

In October 2012, Kamloops Mounties displayed drugs seized in the investigation. Dave Eagles/KTW

in the Tournament Capital. “They [the accused] are not associated to a specific named organization,” she said. Following an eight-month investigation that wrapped up last October, Mounties seized 1.3 kilograms of cocaine, $142,000 in cash, numerous firearms and ammunition, a cocaine press and three vehicles. Kamloops RCMP Sgt. Gary Senner said all of the firearms were registered. Two rifles have since been returned to “a family member,” he

said, while investigators are working on having a handgun forfeited. The drug ring was a dial-a-dope operation. Senner said there were as many as 1,000 customers. Anderson, MacDougall, Bayers and Currie have no criminal record, while Edwards and McCaw have each been convicted of driving-related criminal offences in the past. Auger has no convictions on his record, but he is slated to stand trial before a jury in B.C. Supreme Court in December on charges of aggravated assault and assault causing bodily harm in relation to an incident in January 2011 in Kamloops. Crawford has a lengthy criminal history, but no convictions for drug-related offences. He has been convicted once of impaired driving, three times of driving while prohibited and once, last year, of domestic assault with a weapon and possession of a prohibited weapon following an incident in Savona. Most recently, he was sentenced to 16 days in jail and 18 months of probation on July 2 after pleading guilty to threats and breach charges. Each of the eight accused, none of whom are in custody, are scheduled to make their first appearances in Kamloops provincial court on July 22.

City council backs bid to axe ER parking meters By Andrea Klassen STAFF REPORTER

andrea@kamloopsthisweek.com

Kamloops city councillors are throwing their support behind a campaign to change the way parking is handled at the Royal Inland Hospital emergency lot, but Mayor Peter Milobar isn’t optimistic about their chance of success. Council has agreed to write a letter to the Interior Health Authority and forward a petition signed by more than 1,300 people, asking that

parking meters be removed from the emergency-room lot at RIH. The petition’s creator, Rose Bourdin, told council the current system at the hospital stresses out ER patients and is open to abuse. “Staff, anybody, can drive into that parking lot, get a day pass for six dollars and stay for the day,” she said. “Visitors can go in for two hours, visit and take off. This is an emergency parking lot. These aren’t emergencies and they’re getting away with it.” Bourdin wants the hospital to

revert to an earlier system of parking enforcement, when hospital staff handed out parking passes in the ER. “People have got to start thinking and showing some compassion in this city for people that are stressed out,” she said. Milobar said he agrees with Bourdin’s stance, but isn’t sure there is anything the city can do to convince the Interior Health Authority to change its parking policies. “I’ve asked IHA several times to change this and there doesn’t seem to

be a change,” he said. Milobar said the argument he has heard is that the hospital needs the parking-lot revenue — which Milobar guessed might be upwards of $200,000 a year, though no exact figure has been released — to operate. Coun. Nancy Bepple said that argument doesn’t work for her. “As much as they may make $200,000 on parking, the Canadian Medical Association has identified parking as a detriment to health

care,” she said. “I don’t see that parking is the way to fund health care. I think there’s other funds, including taxation, for that.” Coun. Tina Lange asked that a letter also be sent to local MLAs Terry Lake, who is also the provincial health minister, and Todd Stone. She also suggested a compromise — the hospital could charge for parking, but limit it to ER patients who still need to pick up a slip when they arrive at emergency.

City to host bloomers?

The bloom will stay on Kamloops a little longer in 2015. About 400 Communities in Bloom (CIB) delegates are likely headed to the Tournament Capital that year for the CIB national conference. CIB’s Canadian committee has asked Kamloops to host the event, which features the annual awards

presentation for the competition. The city would waive the cost of the Interior Savings Centre for the convention, about $40,000, and contribute another $30,000 in funding. Parks director Byron McCorkell said economic spinoff for the city over the four-day event would be about $320,000.

A Kamloops transit driver has been fired after failing a roadside sobriety test last weekend. The driver, a woman with about five years’ experience, has been fired by her employer, First Canada ULC, the contracted provider of BC Transit services in Kamloops. The driver was initially pulled from work for at least 90 days — the length of the immediate driving prohibition after failing the sobriety test. “We can confirm that a Kamloops transit operator failed a roadside screening test on Saturday while on duty,” BC Transit corporate spokeswoman Maureen Sheehan told KTW. Kamloops RCMP responded to a complaint from a witness and pulled the bus over in Juniper Ridge at 10:45 a.m. on Saturday, July 13. “There was a report of actions by that bus and driver that brought it to our attention,” RCMP Const. Bernie Ward said. “We were operating on a tip from a member of the public.” There were no passengers or other occupants on the bus at the time it was pulled over. “We’re very concerned about this incident,” Sheehan said. “First Canada is responsible for completing the investigation and taking any actions they find appropriate.”

While it’s doubtful many Kamloopsians would describe their home city as either northern or remote, Coun. Nancy Bepple thinks there’s an argument to be made that it is. “That’s all perspective,” Bepple said. “You have to remember the majority of people in Canada live in Toronto or in Montreal or in Vancouver, and from their perspective, we are.” That’s reason enough to have a non-board member seat on the Federation of Canadian Municipalities’ forum for northern and remote communities, she said. Bepple joins that committee this year, along with FCM’s standing committees on environmental issues and sustainable development and increasing women’s participation in municipal politics, on which she has served in the past. Bepple’s appointments take her out of Kamloops for committee meetings three times per year, not including the FCM’s annual conference, which other councillors may also attend. Much of the $8,400 expenses bill Bepple filed with the city in 2012 was attributed to her committee work. Other communities with membership in the FCM forum for northern and remote communities include Nelson, Yorkton, Sask,. Corner Brook, N.L., and the regional municipality of Wood Buffalo in Alberta. Representatives from local government groups in Nunavut and the Yukon lead the forum. Bepple said sitting on the committee allows her to be a voice for the Thompson-Nicola region as a whole, which she said has benefits for Kamloops. “There’s a shortage of electricity in the North Thompson right now. The mines can’t open because there’s not enough electricity,” she said. If that issue is fixed, Bepple said, Kamloops stands to benefit economically. “Kamloops is a service centre for our region and, if there are

TRU Law School dean steps down Yet another senior staffer at Thompson Rivers University has left the school. Chris Axworthy, the founding dean of TRU’s Law School resigned on Monday, July 15 — though the reason behind the decision is not being made public by the university. Axworthy was hired in 2010 to guide the nation’s newest law school into its first year. The school opened in September 2011 and will see its first class graduate next year. Anne Pappas has been named interim dean of the faculty of law until a permanent replacement for Axworthy is found. Axworthy, a former MP and MLA

Chris Axworthy was hired in 2010 to help launch the faculty of law at Thompson Rivers University. The former Saskatchewan MLA and MP resigned this week, though university officials are not saying why.

in Saskatchewan, had been professor and dean of law at the University of Manitoba since 2008 when he was hired by TRU.

Axworthy’s departure follows the firings last year of chief enrolment officer Peter Hilton, vice-provost Judith Murray and director of ancillary services Gerard Hayes. Larry Prins, associate vice-president academic, told KTW in June 2012 those dismissals were not part of budget woes at the university In September 2009, TRU president Kathleen Scherf was fired after just one year on the job. She is now professor of communications at the school. Calls from KTW to Christopher Seguin, Thompson Rivers University’s vice-president of advancement, were not returned as of press deadline.

Railway $54K closer to track return By Andrea Klassen STAFF REPORTER

andrea@kamloopsthisweek.com

They have to take the train apart to do it but, in a few months, members of the Kamloops Heritage Railway society will know exactly what needs to be done to get the historic 2141 steam locomotive back on the rails — and how much it will cost. Kamloops city council has agreed to give the society $54,000 to run tests on the locomotive’s boiler, as required by Transport Canada. After the tests are conducted, the boiler will also be re-tubed, which KHR director Doug Baleshta said will add 15 years to its operational life. Once testing is complete, Baleshta said the group will come back to council with a definite price for the repairs, which they’re expecting to be just shy of $180,000. KHR president Bill Abley said the group is confident in its estimate, which is in line with what other heritage rail groups have paid for similar repairs.

“I think we’ve done enough homework to come up with a realistic cost,” he said. While council agreed to release the cash — which will come out of the group’s usual $200,000 operating grant, which was held back for 2013 because the 2141 is inactive — there was trepidation around the table about the possibility of repair costs ballooning out of control. “This is a road I’m a little scared of,” said Coun. Arjun Singh. “With all due respect to the 2141 and the work they’ve done, I don’t know enough about old railway cars or engines. I have an issue with not knowing what that cost is going to be.” Coun. Ken Christian said the $54,000 grant doesn’t mean council will necessarily be willing to hand out more and more cash to the rail society. “This is not an open purse and we’re going to have to be conscious about the taxpayers’ dollars,” he said. Coun. Nancy Bepple, the only councillor to vote against giving the group the $54,000, said she wanted to see

KHR put in more work of its own. “I would rather see that there is some community support to do this type of investigation,” said Bepple, who pointed out the city’s operating grant for the train amounts to more than $2 million in funding over 12 years. “I would say have them do the fundraising and get an assessment and then, if we have to decide that we want to invest $100,000 or $400,000 or more to get the train running, then we can decide if we want to do that,” she said. “But, I would like to see some community backing before we go further.” Abley told KTW following the Tuesday, July 16, meeting he feels the KHR already has that community support, based on the number of volunteer hours that went into reclaiming the train and keeping it running over the years. “I don’t have the numbers of the volunteer hours, but they were in the hundreds of thousands,” he said. In addition to the city’s money, the group has raised about $23,000 and is hoping for a grant from CN Rail as well.

Empty seats for British Columbia’s political theatre

REMIER CHRISTY Clark didn’t win a seat in time to join her 48 fellow B.C. Liberal MLAs in the legislature for the summer session she ordered. By the time the byelection in Westside-Kelowna is certified by Elections BC, Clark will be off to Niagara-on-the-Lake, Ont., to meet with her fellow premiers in what is now loftily called the Council of the Federation. These gatherings used to be called First Ministers’ Conferences and there was a set ritual, largely designed for the consumption of network television. Provincial premiers ganged up on the prime minister to demand federal “funding” for every conceivable need, just as municipal leaders get together each year to present their demands to the B.C. government. Prime Minister Stephen Harper ended the show, declining to play the role of villain in this bit of political summer stock theatre — and it’s unlikely any future national leader would reverse this prudent decision. The result, at least among Western premiers, has been a quieter, more pragmatic effort to work together, rather than clumsy attempts to play a shell game with taxpayers’ pockets. The public got tired of this routine some time ago. I don’t need a poll to tell me this is one of the reasons for the decline in voter participation and engagement in issues. Today, politicians frequently remind themselves out loud that

TOM FLETCHER Our Man In

VICTORIA there is “only one taxpayer” supporting the squabbling layers of this over-governed country. And yet, the same mistake keeps being made over and over by opposition politicians and dutifully reported by the news media. The notion that all problems can and should be solved by “more government funding” is now so ingrained in our education system that it seems inescapable. One of the NDP’s big “gotcha” items last week was the failure of the B.C. government to buy the latest sonar technology to locate and recover the bodies of people who have drowned in one of our thousands of lakes and rivers. As with the health-care system, as soon as something is invented, some assume a right to it, regardless of cost. Another big opposition target was the province’s failure to buy up remote properties in the Kootenays that have been discovered to be at high risk of further landslides, such as the one that swept through a year ago.

The question of limits for protecting people who choose to build homes in risky locations seldom comes up in our political-media theatre. The media’s key ingredients are sympathetic victims to fit their narrative that all corporations and governments are greedy, stingy, callous and incompetent in everything they do. What the opposition has dubbed “Christy Clark’s wheelchair tax” is another case in point. A Fraser Health Authority official patiently explained what was really going on here. An average $35 monthly rent for wheelchairs is charged at the majority of care facilities, which are contracted by the health authority. Operators charge as they see fit for maintenance, disinfection and replacement of this equipment for patients who don’t own their own chairs. In September, a $25 fee is to be extended to the few facilities still directly run by Fraser Health, which have aging equipment and no fees. In all facilities, the fee is waived for those who can’t afford it. It would be useful for our politicians to frankly discuss the trend toward contracted health services and the role of user fees in forcing people to take more responsibility for maintaining their own health. But, that is not what happens. The narrative of dumping frail, impoverished seniors from their wheelchairs has no relationship to reality, but it’s how post-modern political theatre is done. tfletcher@blackpress.ca

Another day, another highprofile resignation/firing at Thompson Rivers University — with nary an explanation given to the public, which funds the majority of operations at the Kamloops school. This week, Chris Axworthy resigned from his post as dean of the faculty of law, just three years after the university heralded his appointment to lead Canada’s newest law school. When asked why Axworthy would resign, university officials were again less than forthcoming to media. Claiming it to be a personnel issue, the university’s PR staff declined to comment on the reasons behind Axworthy’s departure. The same excuses were given in years past when a number of senior members of faculty were fired or left for other reasons. We would argue the people who pay the substantial salaries of those on the Kamloops campus deserve to know why there seems to be an epidemic of faculty being shown the door — or choosing to open it themselves. Has the university suddenly been beset with a skills shortage among those who have worked there for years? Is there a morale problem that has led to various staffers to leave lucrative jobs? Have any of the firings or resignations been preceded with internal strife in the form of harassment complaints? Of those who are no longer on campus, how many received severance packages and how much were they worth? Did Axworthy receive a severance package and, if so, for how much are taxpayers on the hook? To say TRU has been lessthan-forthcoming is a serious understatement. For a school that boasts often about its Open Learning division, Thompson Rivers University is awfully closed when communicating these issues.

Public-sector salaries spiralling out of control Editor: Re: (‘City managers’ pay rises 15-20 per cent,’ July 4): If you have ever watched the TV show Deadliest Catch, it is obvious those men deserve a huge paycheque for enduring inhumane working conditions for weeks on end, not to mention the risk of life and limb. Sure, it’s not rocket science, but it takes incredible guts and determination. How can we compare that to a man

dressed in a suit working from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. in a climate-controlled building with lots of helpers to complete tasks? We could hire two people at half the current salary to do the job and I am positive they would still be earning an aboveaverage lifestyle. It doesn’t take much skill to just raise fees on everything, nor does it take any guts when the money you are managing isn’t yours and you will never be held accountable.

A surgeon who can make people well and whole is worth a big paycheque, but not someone who makes decisions because that’s what is in the textbook they used in university. Public-sector wages are spiralling out of control and someone needs to put their foot down and start making those in charge accountable. This boys’-club mentality has to end. Kim Young Kamloops

Give people a reason to shop and live downtown Editor: Recent letters and comments regarding the downtown area of Kamloops are certainly relevant. It’s really no wonder people are not encouraged to patronize the area. What is there to entice or encourage them? Nothing, really! Granted, there are plenty of alcoholfuelled patrons and assorted drug dealings. Businesses in the area need to be spruced up and realize the importance of

Then, and only then, look at parking. Why provide parking first if there is no incentive to shop?

No medicinal grow-ups on agriculture land By Andrea Klassen STAFF REPORTER andrea@kamloopsthisweek.com

Whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s worse â&#x20AC;&#x201D; pot or pig farm? Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the question Kamloops councillors found themselves debating this week after Coun. Tina Lange tried to have medical marijuana grow-ops made a permitted use on agricultural lands. Since November of last year, the city has been tinkering with new zoning regulations for medical marijuana grow-ops that would restrict them to industrial land. While council has debated

A15

the merits of allowing the grows in agricultural areas, it has never voted in favour of including farmland in the permitted area. But, that didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t stop Lange from trying again, first by asking that new regulations state agricultural landowners can apply for site-specific exemptions to grow marijuana. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m thinking of our agricultural plan and what weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re hearing from ranchers and farmers today is that itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s very difficult to keep their heads above water,â&#x20AC;? Lange said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re looking for various

ways to keep running a farm.â&#x20AC;? When Mayor Peter Milobar pointed out agricultural landowners would be allowed to apply for an exemption regardless of what regulations state, Lange changed her motion to ask that grow-ops become a permitted use on all farmland. That didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t make sense to Coun.Nelly Dever, who sits on the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s agricultural committee. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Health Canada has made it very clear that they want medicinal marijuana crops growing indoors,â&#x20AC;? she said.

DONALD (DON) THOMSON December 29, 1929 ~ July 11, 2013 It is with great sadness that the family of Donald Thomson announce his sudden passing on July 11th, 2013. Dad will be lovingly remembered and sadly missed by his wife, of 61 years, Wilhelmina, son Kelly and daughter Donna (Dennis) Lockie. He is also survived by his brothers the “Thomson Boys”: John, Allen, David, their families, and numerous other relatives. Dad was predeceased by his parents Elisabeth and Donald Thomson. Dad was born and raised in Turtle Valley, BC, where he met mom. They were married in Chase, BC, and later moved to Loon Lake, BC, where dad worked as a logging contractor before settling in Kamloops in the early 60’s. Dad was a proud member of the Operating Engineers Local 115 and applied his skills operating heavy equipment on many of the “mega” projects in BC including Mica Creek, Revelstoke and the Ridley Island Coal Port. Dad lived life one full day at a time and loved the outdoors. He was an avid ﬁsherman who loved Salmon Fishing on the island or casting his rod for trout on the local lakes. An avid gardener he tended to his garden each year and took great pride in the fruits of his labour. However; without a doubt Dad’s greatest passion was seeing the world go by from the seat of his bicycle. He could often be spotted around town, the surrounding areas or on the Kettle Valley rails on a ride.

McNUTT

BISHOP

We regret to announce the passing of Thomas Roy McNutt on July 15, 2013 at the age of 87.

On Thursday, July 11, 2013 Mr. Ambrose Calvin Bishop of Kamloops passed away at the age of 87 years.

He is survived by his wife of 62 years, Doris; his ﬁve sons Douglas (Lil) and their sons, Matt, Chris (Katrina), and Josh; David and his three daughters Jana (Justin) and their daughter Evelyn, Karrie (Dave), and Diana; Dan (Janice) and their son Sam and daughter Jodie; Dale and daughter Julie; Don (Lisa) and son Devyn and daughters Makayla and Cassie. Grandpa was so blessed to see his ﬁrst great granddaughter who was born just two weeks before his death. He is also survived by numerous nieces and nephews in BC, Alberta, Saskatchewan, Nova Scotia, Washington, and Oklahoma.

Calvin was born on March 28, 1926 in Richards Landing, Ontario.

Roy was predeceased by his infant son Raymond in 1953, his father Fred McNutt in 1926, his Mother Ella (McNutt) Duncan in 1997, his stepfather John Duncan in 1973, brother Bill in 1943, and sister Deborah in 2012. Roy was born in Vancouver, B.C. in 1925 and spent his early years in Port Coquitlam, B.C. until he joined the Royal Canadian Navy in May 1944. He served in the 2nd World War as a DEMS gunner on the merchant ship Cypress Hills Park until his discharge in November 1945. On his return from the services, he joined the CPR which was his life career. Roy was an active member during the 1950s and 1960s with the Kamloops Light Horse Club and Kamloops Exhibition Association. He competed in many horse shows throughout BC. His horses were a large part of his life.

He is dearly loved and remembered by his wife Martha; his son Marvyn (Nancy), two step daughters Teresa (Tony) and Susan; grandchildren Kevin (Lorilee), Alvin (Sena) and Melodee (Harlan); great-grandchildren Jackson, Oliver, Addison, Mikayla and Calvin. He was predeceased by his ﬁrst wife Jeanette. Calvin was a good man, he knew who he was and stood on his beliefs. He enjoyed bluegrass music, clocks, playing crib, the violin and sunsets with his wife.

He was a member of the Kamloops Fish and Game Club, Wilderness Watch, and BC Wildlife Association. He had a passion for hunting and ﬁshing and had many good years hunting pheasants in Alberta with his pals Graeme, Gord, and Ron.

The Very Reverend Louise Peters will conduct the Funeral Service on Saturday, July 20, 2013 at 2:00 p.m. in St. Paul’s Anglican Church, 360 Nicola Street.

Above all Roy loved his family. His boys, their wives and their children were his life. He was never happier than when they were all gathered together in Valleyview. Just days before he became too ill to enjoy it, his sons hosted a barbeque in his backyard with some 65 family and friends. He so much enjoyed that evening.

Should friends desire, donations to the Alzheimer Society, Box 277, Kamloops, BC V2C 5K6 or a charity of donor’s choice in memory of Calvin would be appreciated.

We will truly miss you, Dad. Thank you so much for all the wonderful memories.

The family would like to thank all of those who visited Roy so faithfully. Especially they would like to thank Roy’s pastor, Harry Bicknell, for all his love and support as well as all the “angels” at the Marjorie Willoughby Snowden Houses. Thanks also to Artiss and staff at Aberdeen Clinic as well as Dr. Sean Gorman. Special thanks, also, to his wonderful niece Sharon Edwards for all the love and support throughout the years.

Lynne was predeceased by her parents Charles and Beatrice Thacker; brothers Gary and Murray Thompson and her son Mark HeathÀeld.

LEONARD “LEN” JACK FOWLES Len Fowles passed away unexpectedly, surrounded by loving family, on July 13, 2013. Len is survived by wife Judy, sons Dave (Gail), Chris, and Jonathon (Melissa) Fowles, and daughter Karen (Gary) Burgoyne. He is survived by his sister Ethel Busch of Kamloops. He will be dearly missed by all of his family including his grandchildren Zach, Vicki, Isabella and Emerson and all of the numerous nieces, nephews and extended family. Len was born in Kamloops July 29, 1932 and was one of five children of Jack and Olive Fowles. Alongside sisters, Ethel and Doris, he grew up playing basketball and baseball with his brothers Jack and George. Len was a valuable player on the Kamloops Okonots baseball team and had a life-long passion for the sport that carried through to his beloved ‘Toronto Blue Jays’ and to his playing and coaching with the local senior’s team, the ‘Coffin Dodgers’, in his later years. Len was a respected leader in the school district as an administrator and was an active contributor with the BC Principles Association. He truly enjoyed his fellowship with the Gyro Club, sharing his spirit and service. It is this generosity of spirit that characterized his relationships with family, friends, community, and profession. Len loved his time with family and friends, usually amongst the backdrop of a round of golf, or a BBQ in the neighborhood, in between world travels with Judy and winters in Palm Desert. A memorial and celebration of his life will be held Friday July 19, 2013 at 2 p.m. at the Columbo Lodge, 814 Lorne Street, with Reverend Harry Bicknell officiating. A reception will directly follow the service. The family would like to thank and honour the health care professionals at Royal Inland Hospital for their wonderful and heartfelt care, by asking that donations be made in lieu of flowers to R.I.H Foundation, Stroke Rehabilitation Unit, 311 Columbia Street, Kamloops, B.C.

WHITMORE On July 12, 2013 Mrs. Shirley May Whitmore (nee Digby) passed away peacefully at her home in Kamloops, BC at the age of 78. Survived by her children, Fred Jr. (Vicki), Edward (Lena), Ted (Diane) and Gloria (Dale). Our mother had many life treasures, but at the top of that treasure chest were all her grandchildren and great-grandchildren. She would know all there was to know about each and every one of them and she was always proud to share that information with all her friends and family that she so enjoyed talking to on a daily or weekly basis. They are Tracey, Amanda, Jenna, Ashley (Daniel), Landon, Brad (Laura), Heather (Orin), Julian, Kristopher, Amanda and Kimber. Her greatgrandchildren Tyrese, Nakeylia, Jordyn, Maggie, Ciera, Brendan, Bentley, Julian and Brielle. Mom also held a very special place in her heart for Kenny Brett, Christina Gust and her two children Lilly and Lukas. Survived by her sister Bobbi (Ray) Evans and her brother Ken (Alice) Digby as well as many numerous nieces and nephews whom she loved and adored. Mom kept us up to date with all the news of her family and friends from Vancouver, BC. Predeceased by her husband Fred (2007), step-son Allan Whitmore, her brothers Gordon and Gary and her sisters Isabelle, Grace and Ethel. She was also predeceased by her special friends and family members James and Claire Whitmore. Mom was raised in Vancouver and attended General Brock Elementary School and Fairview High School. When General Brock announced their 100 year reunion party a few years ago, she joyously attended, and came back home to tell us all the wonderful people she had reconnected with and the funny stories that went along with this memorable trip. She had been so looking forward to sister Bobbi and her brother-in-law Ray’s big birthday/anniversary bash which is coming up this August that she talked about it constantly, had her dress ready to go months ago!!…. and could not wait to see all her family. We will celebrate in “Digby” style mom and will be thinking of you when we see all the relatives you so enjoyed. Once school was finished Mom went to work for a place called “Teletone Music”. Clients would have a microphone at their table and would say which song they wanted to hear and mom would run to find that particular record and song and play it for them…..those were the good ole’ years. She left Vancouver and moved to Kamloops in 1956 to work for her brother Gordon at a coffee shop in North Kamloops – now known as Mervo’s Coffee Shop. The day our dad walked into that coffee shop, life for our Mom was about to take a big turn!! They fell in love immediately and married six months later on November 9, 1957. Shortly after mom got busy having babies of her own, but that didn’t keep her busy enough so she began her babysitting career for all her friends and family. The children she babysat for 35 years eventually became part of the Whitmore Clan. Mom was an avid crafter and enjoyed knitting, from our Indian sweaters to our slippers – there was never a short supply!! She would be busily working all day, all night just to make each and everyone she knew whatever they wanted. She enjoyed crocheting, embroidery, quilting and for a many years in the 1980’s loved working with ceramics. Mom was at her most happiest place when she was surrounded by her family and friends. Words cannot express our appreciation and love for Marie Urquart, mom’s dearest and special friend for over 30 years. Mom and Marie had many adventurous shopping stories which she loved to share with all of us. Our family would like to extend an invitation for you to attend a “Celebration of Life” on Saturday, July 20, 2013 at 10:00 am at Schoening Funeral Chapel, 513 Seymour Street. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to Marjorie Willoughby Snowden Hospice Home, 72 Whiteshield Cres South Kamloops, BC V2E 2S9. Even though mom did not require their assistance she had great compassion for this Society and how they help and assist people in their final journey. Goodbye sometimes is not a final end but the beginning of a new chapter. Mom has now joined her two main men, her husband Fred and of course Elvis. You will be forever in our hearts. We love you.

Public hearing on grows this fall X From A15

“And the primary purpose of agricultural land is to use the land,” Dever said. Coun. Nancy Bepple said if the city allows pig farms on agricultural land, which she said have similar odour issues to growops, it ought to allow medical marijuana. Milobar believes industrial land is easier for RCMP to keep an eye on and is not sure there would be that much demand to grow in agricultural areas. Under new Health Canada regulations, medical marijuana will now be grown in larger, commercial settings rather than by individual users in their homes — but it’s not clear how many grows will be required

Lange’s suggestion was defeated by a vote of 5-4, with Milobar, Dever and councillors Pat Wallace, Marg Spina and Ken Christian voting against it. A vote to take zoning restrictions drafted by staff — which limit grows to class two and three industrial land at least 150 metres away from areas used by children under 18 — to a public hearing passed unanimously.

Chase eyed as hockey hub By Cavelle Layes STAFF REPORTER

reporter@kamloopsthisweek.com

A new way of teaching hockey has the potential of changing the future of local schools and minor hockey in Chase. While the Fox Hockey Academy’s Leadership Program is still in the exploration phase, Alison Sidow, assistant superintendent for the Kamloops-Thompson school district’s south zone, said they are excited about the opportunities it could bring. The program, which would be an expansion of the hockey academy already in place at Chase secondary, has the potential to buck trends in a major way. If it goes ahead, the program would allow players in grades 5, 6 and 7 to attend, giving them the opportunity to continue until graduation. Brad Fox, co-owner

of the academy and head coach of the Kootenay International Junior Hockey League’s Chase Heat, would also like to expand and enhance opportunities for his older players. Fox and co-owner Rick Passmore are working with the school board in gaining access to the Haldane elementary annex building, which has remained empty since the school was closed a few years ago. Noting the school has a working field and gym and classrooms already set up, Fox sees it as the ideal place for his academy, which he said has the potential of transforming Chase from a rural community to a sports hub for all ages and both genders. The duo said that they will be able to accept a maximum of 80 players each year, but will also have mini-programs in the summer.

KING 22nd ANNUAL

If the elementary level of programming is accepted, students taking part would get the equivalent of one-and-ahalf to two years’ worth of ice time within minor hockey in one school year. This would come at a cost of $2,100 for the year, Fox said, which is equivalent to about $20 per session. The players will receive training on and off ice, including specialized speed-skating lessons. Those in the high school level of the program would also be trained in life skills, said Fox, focusing on respect and accountability. There are still a number of hurdles the academy must overcome before it can become a reality. Fox Hockey Academy and school board representatives will continue to meet in September.

BC/YUKON COMMAND

ALAN JAY DURR August 2, 1948 ~ July 10,2013 Alan was born in Estevan, Saskatchewan to parents Wilbur George and Dorothy Stewart Durr. He was raised on a farm just a few miles south of the small town of Bromhead and like most prairie kids he played hockey and baseball, rode his horses and loved being around machinery. Alan also loved music and played with a few bands including The Gold Teens and Canadian Crescendos and later with The Chaparrals in Williams Lake, B.C. In 1968 he married Jennifer (Janie) Helgerson. The couple lived in Williams Lake until 1973 and then returned to the farm. Alan also owned a cattle liner which kept him busy and helped subsidize the farm during the dry years. Always wanting to see new places and try other occupations Alan, Janie and their three children moved to Kamloops in 1990. He had an excavating business, purchased All Points Bus Charters and worked at a variety of jobs that included driving trucks, dispatching, equipment operator on a variety of projects including ‘The Sea To Sky Highway.’ In 2008 he and Janie moved to Blind Bay to semi retire but Alan continued to work. He was always ready to try something new as long as it included machinery and one of his last jobs was gold mining in the Yukon. Family and friends were the most important to Alan. He passed his life long love of music to his children. He was happiest out on his boat, in his shop or just sitting around a campﬁre passing the time of day with new friends or old.

PNE prize abode to call Sun Peaks home By Kerry Vital BCLOCALNEWS

editor@newlocalhome.com

For the second year in a row, the PNE Prize Home will rise in Sun Peaks Resort. “We’re really excited about this year’s home,” PNE spokeswoman Laura Ballance said. “This is the most affordable home lottery in British Columbia and there’s a lot of anticipation around it.” The home is being decorated by interior designer Jillian Harris. She has starred on Extreme Makeover: Home Edition, hosted Canada’s Handyman Challenge and is co-host of Love It or List It Vancouver. This year’s home is over 3,000

square feet, designed and built by Britco. After someone wins it, it will be relocated to Sun Peaks Resort. The home is built in an openplan style, with a large greatroom and gorgeous French doors to the exterior decks. With its 10-foot ceilings on the main floor and nine-foot ceilings on the upper floor, the home feels incredibly open and airy. Once relocated, the home will be right next door to last year’s PNE Prize Home, also built by Britco. The location is truly one of the best parts of the home, since it will feature stunning views over the ski and snowboard trails, surrounding mountains and valley.

This year, Britco decided to put the master bedroom on the main floor, and include a huge upper deck on the second floor with a hot tub and a covered area that is almost like a completely separate living or play space. The master ensuite features a huge stand-alone claw-foot tub made for relaxing after a day on the slopes, along with a gorgeous walk-in shower with rain shower head. Tickets for the home can be purchased online at pneprizehome. ca, toll-free at 1-877-946-4663 or at the Fair at the PNE between Aug. 17 and Sept. 2. The winner will be drawn on Sept. 5. You can preview the home on July 21, July 28 and Aug. 4.

Venom all square with Tigers To say the Kamloops Venom’s power play was firing on all cylinders on Tuesday, July 16, is an understatement. The Venom scored seven times with the man advantage at Memorial Arena and beat the Vernon Tigers 9-7 in Game 2 of the Thompson Okanagan Junior Lacrosse League final, evening the best-

of-five series 1-1. Game 3 gets underway at 7:30 p.m. tonight (July 16) in Vernon. If there is enough interest, a fan bus from Kamloops will make the trek. Email cpittman@shaw.ca to sign up for the bus, which would cost $25 per person.

Scoring for Kamloops on Tuesday were Riley Peterson (3), Jerome Thorne (3), Brady Jorgenson, Trent Maunder and Rob Peterson. Dalan Etter made 32 saves between the pipes for the Venom. Game 4 will be played at Memorial on Sunday, July 21. Game time is 5 p.m.

Thompson Blazers hire Chase Mark Chase of Kamloops is the new head coach of the Thompson Blazers. The former bench boss of the bantam tier 1 Kamloops Jardines

Blazers replaces Tyler Forsythe, who coached the B.C. Major Midget League team for the past three seasons. The Blazers play their games in Chase.

Practices are split between Kamloops and Chase, though Thompson’s new head coach would like the team to move full-time to the River City.

Garry Bergquist will serve as Thompson’s general manager. The Blazers finished last season 9-28-3, leaving them ninth in the 12-team league.

The league was established in 2004 to provide elite level 15-, 16- and 17-year-olds an opportunity to play within their own age group at a high level.

The BC Seniors Games in Kamloops are expected to set a record for the most participants in event history. Organizers are expecting 3,761 athletes at the Games, slated to run from Aug. 20 to Aug. 24 in the Tournament Capital. “This year’s event is expected to generate over $2 million economically for the community of Kamloops,” a Games press release said. The best-attended Games on record were held in Richmond in 2009, when 3,285 seniors were in action. There are 413 entrants in slo-pitch this year, 382 in ice hockey and 328 in dragon-boat racing, to round out the top three. Pickleball, golf and equestrian are expected to see significant increases in comparison with previous Games. The horse events, for example, will have more than 35 competitors in action at Circle Creek Ranch. Never in Games history has there been more than 20 entrants in equestrian. There will be 24 competitions at the 2013 Games, including competitive sports such as track and field, cycling and soccer, along with recreational sports like floor curling, bridge and carpet bowling. Among the host venues for the 55-and-over event are the Tournament Capital Centre, Hillside Stadium and McArthur Island. Volunteers are needed. To apply, go online to www.2013kamloopsbcseniorsgames.org or phone the Games office at 250-828-3823. Kamloops held the BCSG in 1996, when 2,150 participants were involved in 19 sports.

Heat forecasted to fall agonizingly short By Marty Hastings STAFF REPORTER

sports@kamloopsthisweek.com

The Kamloops Heat men burned the edge of the playoffs, but will likely fall just short in their first season playing in the Pacific Coast Soccer League’s Premier Division. “This has been a learning experience for our guys,” Heat co-head coach Sean Wallace said. “We were playing a team who are the defending CIS [Canadian Interuniversity Sports] champions and they were able to succeed under pressure. “We had our chances, but we couldn’t finish.” Kamloops lost 3-2 to the Vancouver Thunderbirds at Hillside Stadium on Sunday, July 14, in a game that likely decided the fourth-and-final playoff spot. The Heat were under the impression they had already qualified for the post-season, but found out last week host Coquitlam Metro Ford SC gets an automatic berth in the four-team championship-deciding

Challenge Cup. Khalsa Sporting Club of Coquitlam has already earned its way into the playoffs. Bellingham is expected to dispose of Victoria on Sunday, July 21, and clinch a spot of its own. The River City squad needed a minimum of one point on Sunday— a draw would have sufficed — to secure a place in the playoffs, but it was not to be. Vancouver finished one point ahead of Kamloops. Coquitlam ended the season 4-7-3 and in the big dance, while Kamloops, at 8-4-2, is expected to be on the outside looking in. Oriol Torres and Justin Wallace scored in support of goalkeeper Allan Connor on Sunday. Kyle Fertile scored a hat trick, with Wallace and Torres adding singles in the Heat’s 6-2 win over Victoria at Hillside on Saturday, July 13. Wallace, Torres, Kyle Fertile and Adam Dodgson were named to the 2013 PCSL allstar team. 101- 929 LAVAL CRESCENT, KAMLOOPS

The Kamloops Heat women met Okanagan FC on Wednesday, July 17, in Kelowna. With a win or a draw, the Heat would have claimed a berth in the post-season. Even a loss would not have eliminated the Heat from post-season contention. The game was played after KTW’s press deadline. Go online to kamloopsthisweek.com for the result.

Baseball lovers are running out of opportunities to watch the Kamloops RiverDogs play at the Canada Games Field. The midget AAA RiverDogs (12-19) are hosting Victoria (12-15) in a doubleheader on Sunday, July 21, with game

The bantam RiverDogs are playing a pair of doubleheaders on McArthur Island this weekend. Kamloops (11-24) is hosting Tri-City (23-10) on Saturday and White Rock (1715) is in town on Sunday. Game times are noon and 3 p.m. both days.

Hitting it out of the Park on LPGA tour The most dominating athlete in 2013 anywhere in the world — in any sport — is South Korea’s Inbee Park on the Ladies Professional Golfers’ Association tour. In early August, at the Old Course at St. Andrew’s Scotland, Park will go for golfing history when she attempts to win her fourth consecutive major championship — the 2013 women’s British Open. Park had one major to her credit going into 2013 (she won the 2008 U.S. Open). This year, she has

You may have heard of Tiger Woods, who won four straight men’s majors over two years and got a little bit of publicity as a result. The only other woman golfer to win three majors in one season was Babe Zaharias in 1950. So, Park’s performance this year has brought some wonderful attention to the LPGA. Grand Slam talk is everywhere but, even if Park wins the British, she still won’t have the ‘slam’ because there are five major tournaments in the women’s pro game.

BRUCE PENTON From PRESS ROW stepped above the crowd and is becoming a household name. Winning three tournaments in a row is amazing. Winning three majors in a row is almost unprecedented on the LPGA circuit.

RV & O T U A E TOPLIN

The Evian Masters, in France in September, was recently granted major status, so a Grand Slam now consists of five majors. Hardly fair, but what an accomplishment it would be if Park can somehow win at St. Andrew’s and follow it up with a victory in France. Her smiling face would be everywhere — TV, magazines, newspapers and cyberspace. To the LPGA Tour, it would be Lindbergh crossing the Atlantic or Armstrong walking on the moon. Among those excited

about Park’s run are her LPGA colleagues. “It’s great what she’s doing,” said American Stacey Lewis, displaced in April by Park as the No. 1 ranked golfer in the world. “It’s creating a lot of headlines for us, which is good.” Paula Creamer said Park’s incredible run is raising the LPGA bar: “It’s elevating all of us. It’s where we need to be. If we’re not, she’s going to leave us all in the dust.” That cloud of dust is definitely forming. Care to comment? Email brucepenton2003@yahoo.ca.

STAFF REPORTER

It’s been 100 years since a land surveyor working in the remote Interior of B.C. near Clearwater stumbled across a towering waterfall. Robert Lee discovered what would come to be known as Helmcken Falls in 1913. He immediately wrote a letter to his boss, then-premier Sir Richard McBride, suggesting the waterfall be named “McBride Falls.” After three weeks, Lee received a reply telling him the name Helmcken Falls — in honour of a Hudson’s Bay Company doctor — had been chosen instead. In the century since its discovery, Helmcken Falls has become a major tourist destination, drawing visitors from around the world. But, the 463-foot waterfall — the fourth tallest in Canada and nearly three times as high as Niagara Falls — isn’t the only feature Wells Gray Provincial Park has going for it. “Many of our other provincial parks are just pieces of land,” said Shelley Sim, summer events co-ordinator for Wells Gray World Heritage.

VOLCANOES! Wells Gray Provincial Park sits on an active volcanic field. The Wells Gray-Clearwater Volcanic Field is what is known as a monogenetic volcanic field, meaning a group of small volcanoes that erupt just once, as opposed to the big lava-spewing mountains depicted in movies. Scientists believe the field began forming 3.5 million years ago. If the vents in Wells Gray were to erupt again, they would shoot rocks and lava bombs into the air, potentially causing forest fires. But, if you’re planning a trip to Wells Gray, don’t worry about running from lava flows. The most recent eruption in the park was an estimated 400 years ago, when Kostal Cone — on the northeast shore of Kostal Lake — was active.

MORTGAGE MATTERS

Lots of events at Wells Gray X From B2

“But, Wells Gray is it’s own eco-system.” A pair of events this weekend are intended to help celebrate the area’s rich history. On Friday, July 19, Wells Gray World Heritage is hosting Pioneer Tales — an evening of stories about the men and women who settled in the area. The following day (July 20), an all-day event called Wells Gray Names and Places will begin in Kamloops at 7:30 a.m. and arrive in Clearwater at about 9 a.m. (Full information about both events can be found in the box to the right.) Sim said the response to previous Wells Gray events this year has been encouraging, attracting visitors from across B.C. She said people find peace in the tranquility the park provides. “My favourite quote is, ‘If you have a question, bring it to nature,’” she said. “It’s quiet. It charges your soul.”

THE GOLDEN SKULL IS BACK (KIND OF)! Go to Page B4 to find out all about the revival of a legendary contest . . .

WHAT’S GOING ON Friday, July 19 7 p.m. — PIONEER TALES: ELLEN FERGUSON AND CLARA RITCEY (Upper Clearwater Community Hall, 25 km north of Clearwater): In some ways, the Clearwater Valley is less well known today than it was 74 years ago, when Wells Gray Park was established. Join longtime residents and history buffs Ellen Ferguson and Clara Ritcey for a rollicking evening of illustrated tales of old-timers telling the tales of the men and women who broke stride with their time and settled — and explored — a valley remote beyond its geography. Come find out the story behind Footwash Creek, the Bee Farm and Moul Falls. Refreshments served. Admission by donation.

Saturday, July 20 ALL DAY — WELLS GRAY NAMES & PLACES: ROLAND NEAVE (Departs Kamloops at 7:30 a.m., arrives Clearwater Information Centre at 9 a.m.): Join well-known author Roland

Neave on a guided bus tour of southern Wells Gray Park, with captivating commentary on Clearwater Valley place names. Bring a lunch and refreshments. Cost is $45 per person, including transport from Kamloops or Clearwater and GST. For further information and reservations, call Wells Gray Tours: 250-374-0831 or 800-6679552. Call early, as space is limited.

Wednesday, July 24 ALL DAY — IN THE STEPS OF ROBERT LEE: ROLAND NEAVE (Starts at 10 a.m. at the Upper Clearwater Community Hall): Helmcken Falls is Wells Gray’s most famous attraction. Join well known author Roland Neave for a day-long hiking and driving tour in celebration of the first documented discovery of Helmcken Falls on this day 100 years ago. Along the way, you’ll hear the story of surveyor Robert Lee, who spent four summers in the Clearwater Valley starting in 1911. Be prepared to drive or car-pool. Admission by donation.

Make Your Home Safe for Independent Living Are you a low-income senior or a person with a disability who wants to live safely and independently in the comfort of your home? Do you have difficulty performing day-to-day activities? Does your home need to be adapted to meet your changing needs? If so, you may be eligible for financial assistance under the Home Adaptations for Independence (HAFI) program. Find out today if you are eligible and if you meet all of the requirements as a low-income homeowner or as a landlord applying on behalf of an eligible tenant.

PAYING OFF YOUR MORTGAGE FASTER For many Canadian homeowners, one of their highest financial priorities is to pay off their mortgage as quickly as possible. Making extra payments in the early years can shorten the life of a mortgage — and dramatically lower the mortgage interest costs you’ll pay over the long haul. Those extra payments can be a sacrifice, so here are some tips to help motivate you: TIP #1: Start small - Round up your payments Try adding $10 or $20 extra per payment, the amount of interest you are saving will make a difference over time, and it’s relatively painless to part with. TIP #2: Increase your payment annually to the most you can afford Most lenders will allow you to increase your monthly payment by 10%, 15% or even 20%. Increasing your payment means you won’t have to be disciplined to save up a lump sum payment, it will be added to your payment each month, and go directly against your mortgage principle. If you find the payments are too much, most lenders will allow you to reduce your payment to the original contract rate. A small fee may apply. TIP #3: Pay a lump sum whenever possible Lump sum payments are extra payments which go directly against your mortgage principle. Now remember, your monthly payment of interest and principle was based on you making NO extra payments – so in fact, because of your payment, less interest will accrue and now more of your regular monthly payment will go toward paying down mortgage principle. TIP #4: Invest in your mortgage for tax free savings If you prepay $1000 of your mortgage balance and your mortgage interest rate is 5%, you will save about $50 per year. Now, because of income taxes (estimated at 35%), you actually have to earn $77 to make $50 in real after tax dollars. An argument could be made that your $1000 payment/investment in your mortgage, actually pays a 7.7% return per year, not just 5%. Thats more than most GICs or bonds and the savings are not taxable! TIP #5: With variable rate mortgages, keep payments the same when mortgage rates fall If the payment amount has not been a problem, try keeping it the same and pay down the principal faster. TIP #6: Raise payments in line with increased income If your income increases, consider applying at least some of the surplus toward your mortgage. The long-term benefits of becoming mortgage free faster should be a strong motivator to make an increased mortgage payment. Don’t waste your hard-earned money on interest!

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.

Treasure hunting in the North Thompson The Golden Skull is back — sort of. The Wells Gray World Heritage committee would like to revive a successful treasure hunt that was held in the mid-1990s. Unlike the original hunt, however, the prize won’t be a golden skull, but $1,000 cash. And, the clues will be linked to trails within Wells Gray Provincial Park — trails that treasure hunters will have to hike in order to solve. The original hunt for the Golden Skull was organized by Kamloops residents Mike Ritcey and Harvey Surina. It began in 1993 with the publication of a series of extremely difficult clues. Six years later, no one had found the skull and the organizers began giving out easier and easier hints.

Finally, Clearwater residents Sandy and Wayne Sunderman found it by Third Canyon Creek. They later sold it to a gold dealer in Montreal. The revived hunt for the Golden Skull will be just one event in the Wells Gray World Heritage Year, said organizer Trevor Goward. Six events held last fall brought hundreds of people into the area to learn more about Wells Gray Provincial Park. More events are being planned for this year, including a three-day Lichen Festival. “There is no place on this planet with more species than this valley,” said Goward, who is one of the world’s leading lichenologists. Also on the schedule will be the official opening of

The grand finale will be a three-day gathering called Speak To The Wild. The committee is inviting about 70 writers and naturalists from all over North America — and some major names are expected. The event likely will be held in September, Goward said. The Wells Gray World Heritage committee is working to get UNESCO World Heritage status for the volcanoes of Wells Gray Provincial Park and area.

LOCAL VIEWS

Amazing developments

ERE ARE some of the emerging trends that you may want to know more about as we continue the trend of being the first to report new discoveries in psychology, mental health and neuroscience:

research sources point to a concern.

Blood test to diagnose post-natal depression!

Have you heard of digital dementia? Several news services have picked up the story originating in South Korea that overuse of smartphones by children and youth (reported to be in excess of seven hours a day) are causing asymmetrical brain development leading to dementia-like symptoms in young people. Yes, this has been reported by many news outlets in Britain and by Fox News in the United States, but we have not been able to find a single verifiable scientific basis for these reports. Parents have legitimate reasons to be concerned about the amount of time children and teens spend on computers, video games and cellphones. By all means, there should be restrictions placed on the use of these devices, but do not be fooled by reports of widespread technologycaused dementia in youth. We will be sure to follow this and report further if credible

It is reported that about one in seven pregnant women develop some level of depression in the first three months after giving birth. The first blood test for postnatal depression (PND) has been announced in a discovery that could mean thousands of women receive treatment even before they give birth. The early warning that PND may be in place will lessen risks to baby and to mom and could save health-care costs significantly.

Can you really “catch” depression from your college roommate? Our friend, Dr. Daniel Amen, has brought this issue to our attention. With new research released last month from Notre Dame University, it would appear this is possible. The research establishes the possibility that people can be strongly influenced by patterns

of thinking (like a tendency toward depression) coming from people around us and, therefore, depression can be “caught” like an illness. Our thinking styles are formed during adolescence and are believed to become fixed as we become adults. It is reasonable to believe college dorm mates can have a powerful influence on those unfinished thinking styles. Dr. Amen advises us all — young and old — to surround ourselves with people who think in a positive way in order to benefit our mental health.

Can Ritalin help treat cocaine addiction? Scientists have discovered a single dose of Ritalin has an impact on brain circuits that create cravings. In previous research, Ritalin has been found to improve the cognitive functioning of cocaine addicts and these studies have led to the most

recent discovery. Mount Sinai Hospital has found Ritalin increases dopamine in users in a similar fashion to that of cocaine, but without the addictive qualities. This is exciting news for people working to treat this very difficult addiction — and we will follow reports as more information becomes available.

Psychiatrists now agree nutrition is a key component of mood! We know the brain consumes 420 calories a day to function properly and this realization led researchers to discover a poor diet can lead to depression. Hippocrates told patients more than 2,000 years ago that food and nutrition was the most important medicine they could take — and modern research is bearing that statement out. Thanks for reading our column and feel free to contribute questions, comments or story ideas to us. We can be reached by email at Kamloops@ cmha.bc.ca or by Twitter – @CMHAKamloops because we always love to hear from you.

WOW — what a weekend for women at Sun Peaks The WOW — Women Only Weekend will be held in Sun Peaks from Sept. 13 to Sept. 15. It’s three days of workshops, exercise, wine tasting, a trade show and speakers, including a keynote

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.

LOST IN THE LAND OF VEGETARIANS

N THE EARLY 1800s, a splinter sect of Baptist Americans began to practise Sabbath-keeping. They predicted The Second Coming and predicted it again, before a woman named Ellen G. White became their prophet. She advocated, among other things, vegetarianism and annual Camp Meetings, where like-thinking-and-eating people would assemble for a two-weekend-week of tent sermons while sleeping and eating vegetarian food in various states of outdoorsishness. Over time, and having crossed borders, the church established that Albertans would go to Bowden, British Columbians to Hope, and residents of Saskatchewan and Manitoba to White Sands. This was the Seventh-day Adventist Church. And so it was, a hundred and forty or so years later, that I, a Mennonite-raised girl accustomed to cream gravy and porky cracklings, was dropped off at Bowden on a Friday afternoon, and told that my paternal grandparents were expecting me for dinner at their tent trailer. I was told, also, that there was a store of sorts, somewhere on the grounds. Already munchy, and with a few dollars itching in my pocket, I imagined a camp canteen — a place stuffed to the tent poles with fun doodle books and junk food. A place where a girl could find a cheeseburger or hot dog, even if the cheese was soy and the burgers and dogs spun from veggiematter. With no sense of direction, except that I could find my grandparents’ trailer in the open area where the trees

Bon APPÉTIT ended and the sun killed dead anything not wearing a hat, I had time to wander the grounds, become fabulously dehydrated and attempt to understand the mysteries that were Camp Meeting. There was the mystery of whether I could find and make a friend for the day. There was the mystery of the oddly tall man in a peashoot-green suit who turned out to be my Uncle Ernie. And there was the mystery of the location of the “store of sorts” where I could find, surely, a Slurpee, some chips, or at least a Coke and bag of salted peanuts. Thinking myself too cool for camp, wearing a Hard Rock Cafe T-shirt, I soon came to understand that Camp Meetings coincided with stinging insect season. And that wearing a bright yellow circle on your chest will attract every angry wasp within a tent-town-sized area. Flapping my arms against the hoard, I sought refuge in one giant tent, then another. I stumbled, flap by flap, through a song service, a prayer meeting, a sermon, a vegetarian lesson, until, at last, I dove into the food tent. Eureka! Lined with books and CDs, candy bins and freez-

These mock chicken buns helped KTW cuisine columnist Darcie Hossack feel at home — even among a group of non-carnivores.

ers, I stuffed my hand into my pocket for my few dollars, just as a woman stepped into the middle of the tent to announce that it was nearly sundown, and the tent was soon closing for the next 24 hours. A scurryingly fast survey of the freezers revealed that, in place of popsicles were piglet-sized rolls of imitation turkey and “Wham.” There veggie patties and faux weenies, and boxes of “Stripples” that looked like bacon but, I already knew from experience, definitely were not. Frantically, I stuffed one plastic baggie with Sorbitolsweetened bon bons, and another with unsalted peanuts, then joined the end of a line before going off to find

my grandparents, the yellow beacon on my shirt now scrunched protectively in one fist. Dinner, as it turned out, was mock chicken buns — a recipe belonging to my stepmom and one that, while the chicken was imitation, was one of the first vegetarian meals that had helped me feel at home in my second home. Reaching for a ball of foil, warming at the edge of a mound of glowing coals, I sat next to my grandparents, and the man in the green suit. And, after prayer, I peeled open a bun.

Mock (or not) chicken buns 1 generous cup mock chicken, cubed (use “Fri Chick” if you shop at an ABC van. Otherwise, try Garden-brand “chick ‘n filets.” Or use half a roasted chicken) 1 cup finely diced celery 1/4 cup finely sliced green onion 1/2 cup diced cheddar 1/2 cup black olive, chopped 1/4 cup light mayonnaise flaked kosher salt/fresh ground pepper to taste 6 soft, medium-sized buns In a large bowl, gently mix ingredients together. Fill buns. Wrap each securely in foil. Place on a baking sheet and into a 350 F oven for 15 to 20 minutes (or edge of camp fire until heated through).

Oatmeal: For nutrition, comfort and deliciousness By Pamela Tran IHA DIETETIC INTERN editor@kamloopsthisweek.com

Having breakfast helps with weight maintenance as it kick starts your metabolism after a night of fasting. It’s will also help keep your energy levels up throughout the day. Like all meals, breakfast is an opportunity to squeeze in nutrients our body needs. The above reasons make breakfast the most important meal of the day. I enjoy starting my days with a morning workout. Expending the extra energy makes a balanced breakfast afterwards even more important in order to refuel. From trials of various food combinations, the favourite has to be my peanut butter banana and almond milk oatmeal. Not only is the banana and almond milk nutritious but they also add great flavour. The peanut butter provides protein for muscle repair post-workout. The Analyze Your Food feature of eatracker.ca, an easy-to-use tool by Dietitians of Canada to track food

and physical activity, told me I was getting generous amounts of calcium, fibre, vitamin A, and B-vitamins from this meal. The key ingredient I want to highlight though is oats. With oats being a whole grain option for the 6-8 servings of grain products recommended by Canada’s Food Guide, it provides digestive benefits due to its fibre content. Soluble fibre in particular is known to lower blood cholesterol, and controls blood sugars because it slows down digestion. With oats being one of the top sources of soluble fibre, it’s no wonder why oatmeal keeps my energy and hunger in check until coffee break! Like other grains such as rice, pasta, quinoa, and bread, oatmeal is easy to customize with favourite toppings and mix-ins. I can add sweetness and taste to plain oatmeal with yogurt, dried/fresh fruits, cinnamon, or nuts. So, there is no need to purchase flavoured packets of oatmeal that can be costly and can contain added sugar and salt.

FAITH

Traditional knowledge superior to faith-based belief T

HERE IS A very profound difference between knowledge and mere belief. Here is a simple example of the difference between the two: • Belief: You and your friend are sitting in his house eating a meal. He gets up to go to the refrigerator to get some milk for each of you and, passing by a window, he sees a bear outside in the yard. He says, “Hey, there’s a bear outside.” You say, “Oh yeah?” and continue eating. You believe him, but you’ve seen lots of bears and would rather sit and finish your meal. That’s belief. • Knowledge: After your friend says there’s a bear outside, you decide you want to see it, so you get up and go to the window and look outside.

BRUCE PERRY You Gotta Have FAITH Now you see the bear with your own eyes. Now you know there is a bear outside; you don’t have to merely believe there is a bear outside. This is knowledge. In the true meaning of the word, knowledge is that cognizance/ awareness that results from direct experience. Anything else is not knowledge in the strict sense of the word. Often this word is misused by those who wish to mislead others by using it (falsely) to prop up that which

is merely belief, that which does not result from direct experience by the individual. Doing that is kind of like false advertising, of which there sure is a lot lately. A practical example of the difference between the strength of the two can be seen every day in the law courts. If person giving evidence states he knows of something by way of another person telling him the information, that will be categorized as hearsay, which is not admissible as evidence. For example, Bob tells the judge his friend Bill told him that Jim broke into a house. The judge will not count this as evidence because it is hearsay. However, if Bob tells the judge he saw Jim break into the house, the judge may go ahead to consider that as evi-

dence, since it is not hearsay, but knowledge obtained by direct experience. During the acquisition of knowledge, there is no intermediary between the person and the thing/event to be known. Bob saw Jim break into the house; he was not merely told by someone else that Jim broke into the house. This is why knowledge is superior to mere belief. If you wanted to know what your freshly made, still-warm blueberry pie tasted like, would you be satisfied with cutting a piece out, giving it to a total stranger, not tasting it yourself and then asking his opinion? By his answer, you would only obtain his opinion; you would not have the knowledge of the actual taste of the pie.

You would possess merely his opinion, until you tasted the pie yourself. Hence, there is inherent in mere belief a fundamental shortfall of certainty. Down deep, those who have no direct knowledge are insecure — and the insecurity causes fear. To address this fear, they try to get others to believe (instead of know) because, if they can get others to believe only, then, in some sort of weird way, that makes it more OK for them to merely believe. Traditional knowledge, especially traditional spiritual knowledge, is based on, and is obtainable by, direct experience of the creator, who speaks to each one of us every moment of the day: A deep blue sky, sunlight sparkling colours on new snow,

the flash! and thunder! of summer lightning, the call of the soaring eagle, salmon jumping in the streams, a cool summer breeze on your face, a surprise shooting star in the night sky, the proud singing of Coyotes… Natural Facts like these are the True Alphabet with which the Real Words of The Creator are communicated to us directly every moment of every day since the beginning of time and so on to continue until the end of time . . . No intermediaries (priests, preachers, books, churches, etc. ) are necessary in order to communicate directly with the creator. You were born to be able to do this naturally. It is your absolute birthright as a human being. Faith-based religions are categorically inferior to traditional

knowledge. They amount to only hearsay and often have mixed in there some other underlying motives other than communication with the creator. For example, collecting money to build churches and to pay for the livelihood of priests, preachers and the like, and to pay for the pamphlets they distribute in the hopes of converting others to their style of belief, which, as mentioned above, is done mainly because of a fundamental uncertainty that is psychologically inherent in mere belief versus the quite strength of knowledge, which results from direct experience of the creator by the knower, be they a man, woman or child.
