Ajax rejects calls for blast test

NOW THAT’S CONCENTRATION Graeme Lamperson, 12, shows he has a good aptitude for tennis (a newly acquirred hobby) as he plays a match against his father, Ron, on Wednesday morning, July 31, at the Charles Anderson tennis courts. The Parksville native was in Kamloops visiting his grandmother after attending a week-long hockey camp in Kelowna. Dave Eagles/KTW

OAKLEY

The city can ask but, unless a request for a full-scale test blast at the Ajax mine site comes from the B.C. Environmental Assessment Office (EAO) or one of the provincial ministries, it’s not going to happen. On Wednesday, July 31, Mayor Peter Milobar headed to Victoria to bring Environment Minister Mary Polak and Minister of Energy and Mines Bill Bennett up to speed on community concerns surrounding the mine proposed south of Aberdeen. Asking the province to require a full-scale demonstration of the blasting that will occur at least once a day was at the top of his list. “It can’t hurt to ask,” he told KTW in advance of the trip. “The worst they can do is say no. They have before.” The mine has conducted a small test blast and is using that data to model the vibrations, noise and other effects that could be produced by a full-sized blast. Calls from the city, as well as the Kamloops Area Preservation Association, for a larger test have yet to produce results.

There are things that they’re asking that we think are not necessary.

Milobar said he’s been told another test blast would be too expensive. KGHM Ajax’s external affairs manager Yves Lacasse said the test isn’t necessary for any of the company’s studies it is conducting for its provincial environmental review. “There’s no issues. We don’t have any issues,” he said. “We have presented application information requirements to the government which have been approved. “This is what we have to report on.” He said the mine’s blasting studies have already undergone more reviews than is typical for a project of this type in British Columbia. “Our reports have been reviewed by senior experts at Natural Resources Canada and an independent profes-

sor from McMaster University and they all agree there is no need for a full-scale blast test to determine the blasting effects,” he said. A request from the city alone isn’t enough reason for KGHM to create a full-sized blast. “Since joining this project I’ve gone out of my way to make sure that I responded to the city. That’s not going to change,” Lacasse said. “However, there are things that they’re asking that we think are not necessary.” Lacasse said the EAO or a minister would have to change the scope of the mine’s application information requirements to require another blast test. “If Peter [Milobar] talks to ministers and somehow things get changed along the way, then we will work with the government at the time,” he said.

STAFF REPORTER andrea@kamloopsthisweek.com

Another letter from the proponents of the Ajax mine has failed to impress some on Kamloops city council. The latest missive from KGHM Ajax is a follow-up after Coun. Tina Lange asked the mine proponents to put some of the data in a previous letter in less technical terms. Lange said external affairs manager Yves Lacasse’s second attempt to explain the impacts of blasting on Aberdeen residents is still not living up to expectations. “It’s highly disappointing,” she said. “It’s all over the map and it still doesn’t say anything.” While Lacasse’s letter is notable for its admission vibrations from blasting at the site could be felt up to four kilometres from the edge of the mine pit, Lange said Ajax should be more upfront about the fact most of the city may also be able to hear the blasts — as suggested by engineers from Golder Associates. “As for what we’ve got here, I think we’re still in a position of needing a lot more,” said Lange, one of two members of council who have spoken out against the proposed copper and gold mine. In the letter, Lacasse writes vibrations in neighbourhoods closest to the mine will have a peak particle velocity (PPV) of three millimetres per second. Any PPV over one millimetre per second — which Lacasse said is similar to a “truck travelling 50 km an hour passing

an observer at a distance of 10 metres” — is detectable by humans. According to the letter, a PPV of 10 millimetres per second — which is the Ontario caution limit — is similar to the feeling generated by a dozer passing 10 to 20 metres from an observer. Mayor Peter Milobar said those vibrations don’t seem out of line to him. “I live in Valleyview. I can tell when coal trains come through at night,” he said. “I think, based on what we’re seeing here, people shouldn’t worry their homes are going to crumble in the night.” Coun. Donovan Cavers, the other antiAjax voice at City Hall, said he thinks Ajax’s numbers are vague. “I don’t think it really helps,” he said. “The only way people could get a sense of this is if they do a true, full-scale test blast.” Coun. Ken Christian said he thinks the response shows the company is trying to answer council’s questions, but said he still wants to see data on the effects of vibrations on Aberdeen’s groundwater. Coun. Marg Spina said that now the mine has admitted vibrations will be felt in Aberdeen, the city needs to make sure KGHM is on the hook for any damages it might cause to residences. “I’d like to see a performance bond,” she said. “If they do decide to go ahead I think we have to have some way of satisfying any financial problems that may be a part of it.”

New meters, rates await downtown parkers By Andrea Klassen STAFF REPORTER andrea@kamloopsthisweek.com

Downtown shoppers and workers will have at least a few more months of 50-centper-hour parking to enjoy. At its Tuesday, July 29 meeting Kamloops city council awarded a tender for new, digital pay hubs for the downtown core that will

pave the way for a meter-rate hike. But, according to a report from community safety manger Jon Wilson, it’s unlikely the new technology will be in place before October. Unlike the existing meters, the new meters — which take credit and debit cards as well as coins — aren’t tied to specific parking spaces.

Instead, motorists will enter their licence-plate number into one of the pay hubs and buy time that can be used anywhere downtown. The new meters will also allow users to purchase a third hour of time at a slightly more elevated cost. Once the meters are in place, the cost of parking will rise to $1 per hour.

Open ﬁres banned in Kamloops

Ajax letter ‘disappointing’ By Andrea Klassen

While the city looked at three bids for the pay stations, Wilson said it opted to stick with Precise ParkLink, which already supplies offstreet parking technology at the Tournament Capital Centre and other lots. Wilson said Precise’s proposal offered the best overall value to the city and that the cost to purchase and install

the new meters, about $1.2 million, is $500,000 less than initially anticipated. The new meter program will also cost about $170,000 less to operate each year, Wilson said, because of lower than expected costs for replacement costs. That will allow the city to put away more money to replace and repair the technology.

as $150,000 as little r o f Own

Effective today (Aug. 1), all campfires in the Kamloops Fire Centre have been banned. With a high firedanger rating, continuing dry weather and tinder that could easily ignite, the prohibition applies to all open fires. It also applies to open fires of any size, fires with a burn registration number, industrial burning, fireworks, tiki torches, sky lanterns and burning barrels. The prohibition does not apply to cooking stoves that use gas, propane or briquettes, or to a portable campfire apparatus with a CSA or ULC rating that uses briquettes, liquid or gaseous fuel, as long as the height of the flame is less than 15 centimetres. Anyone who violates the order could receive a fine of up to $345. Anyone who causes a wildfire through arson or recklessness could face a fine of up to $1 million, up to three years in prison and be billed for any firefighting costs. A map of the affected area can be found at bit. ly/12Rkuu6.

At its regular meeting on Tuesday, July 30, Kamloops city council voted to award a development permit to Craftsman Ventures Ltd. for a 58-unit strata at 2171 Van Horne Dr. The project was the subject of two contentious public hearings last year as residents living near the site

Ward and Lebus will be trained to do recoveries, hopefully by Gene Ralston, and plan on creating a pool of trained volunteers. The Ralstons have also helped set up the society and other families who have experienced the same kind of loss are also involved. After locating the boys, the Ralstons went to Shuswap Lake to look for missing fisherman John Poole.

Austin Kingsborough (left) and Brendan Wilson drowned in Nicola Lake in April. Their deaths have inspired friends and family to create a non-profit society that will help recover persons suspected of drowning.

The drowning deaths of two Langley boys, Brendan Wilson, 17, and Austin Kingsborough, 18, put their community in a state of shock. The loss is still felt months later. Many friends of the boys still carry the logo “For the Boys” on their vehicles. Some family members and friends are keeping the boys’ legacy alive by starting up a non-profit society dedicated to searching for and recovering victims of drowning. Their goal is to buy and use special sonar equipment similar to that used to recover the bodies of the teens after the RCMP dive team was unable to do so with its limited equipment. “We want to bring closure for the next family — to help families

as deep as 900 feet. Since 1999, Ralston has recovered more than 86 bodies. He and his wife Sandy volunteer their time, only asking people to pay their travel expenses. It took the Ralstons nearly a week to arrive in Merritt but, in less than 30 minutes, they discovered both boys in 75 feet of water near the Wilson cabin. The Ralstons recovered them through the use of a remote operated vehicle. Also part of the society is Jim Ward, Brendan’s uncle. He said his sister and brother-in-law are keeping busy and have two other children who keep them strong. “But, everyone has bad days. Some days, I find myself thinking about them a lot,” said Ward. “We have been there and we know. So, we can also bring

After five agonizing days, the RCMP dive team called off its search in the choppy waters of Nicola Lake, where the boys went missing on April 20. “The RCMP came up on April 26, at 1:33 p.m., and told us we’re done searching,” said Lebus. “It was crushing.” On that day, Lebus and Connie Wilson contacted Gene Ralston from Idaho for his help.

Summer drowning deaths up in B.C. BLACK PRESS

The long hot summer days of July saw a spike in the number of drowning deaths around B.C. By the end of the month, there had been 43 drowning deaths in 2013, up from 25 in the same period in 2012, BC Stats reported. An analysis by the B.C. Coroners Service found that, from 2008 to 2012, half of all drowning victims were involved in recreational activities and nearly 60 per cent happened

between May and August.

The Interior had the largest proportion

of drowning deaths — 35.5 per cent — fol-

The Ralstons worked six days, nine hours a day and, early on May 13, located Poole’s body in 235 feet of water, right off the point of his favourite fishing spot. Poole’s widow and stepson are part of the society. RCMP divers do

not have this unique equipment nor do they have the resources to be trained to use it. “A man was missing in Newfoundland for 73 days and Gene came there and found him in 29 minutes,” said Lebus and Ward. The equipment isn’t “magic,” said Lebus. The Ralstons were called to Harrison Lake last month to try to recover the body of a missing camper believed to have drowned in early June.

They were unable to locate the man and called off the search. The Grand Pub in Merritt held a fundraiser for the society, raising $3,400, an amount that helped the society organizcers start the infrastructure, registering the society with the government and creating a website. The equipment they want to buy isn’t cheap but is made in B.C. The society hopes to raise $350,000 to coverthe cost of buying

the equipment, an RV and boat and providing training for volunteers. “It would be amazing to reach that goal and be ready by next summer,” said Ward. “We want to incorporate education around water safety too. I’d prefer to educate than recover.” Corporate sponsors will be approached. “If we could just get 10 companies to donate $15,000 each, we are more than half way there,” said Lebus.

Schoenborn denied transfer from B.C. hospital BLACK PRESS

lowed by Vancouver Island with 24.4 per cent. Five per cent of drownings occurred

Port Coquitlam since 2010, when he was found not criminally responsible for killing his three children in Merritt in April 2008. Schoenborn applied for the transfer in February during his annual appearance before a medical review board.

After the hearing, the board issued a decision it “had no difficulty concluding that the evidence continues to show that the accused remains a significant threat,” and he should “remain in hospital both for public protection as well as treatment.” The board recom-

mended consent to the transfer, which must also be approved by the attorney general’s ministries of both provinces. The B.C. ministry reviewed the case and determined public safety is better served if Schoenborn stays where he is.

Parking in Kamloops shouldn’t pose so many problems

T WAS INTERESTING TO SEE THE CITY THINKS PRECISE PARKLINK WILL PROVIDE THE BEST VALUE TO THOSE OF US WHO MUST PARK OUR CARS DOWNTOWN. If you’re talking money, I guess they may be right but, if you’re talking customer service or even something as simple as meters that work, well, consider me in the skeptical side. The Toronto company the city has opted to use for new meters — that, of course, will come with an increased hourly parking rate — isn’t new to the city. It has supplied equipment at the Kamloops Airport and has a few of their payment machines at the Kamloops Law Courts. It is this latter location that has fuelled my skepticism about the ability of this Ontario company — did I mention it’s not a local supplier or even a B.C. one? — to stand behind its claims. I cover courts for KTW and have yet to go a week without the machine next to the courthouse not failing. Sometimes it’s money jammed inside, sometimes it won’t acknowledge the new coins and sometimes it’s something as simple as it just doesn’t work. A ParkLink employee I encountered one day in the parking lot told me the Toronto office had been told repeatedly the equipment keeps breaking. I took it from this response the folks in head office don’t care. However, being curious — and having also received a ticket for

DALE BASS Street

LEVEL $50 from ParkLink — I called that Toronto office. I had several questions: Why can’t I pay the fine online right now? Do you realize it takes more than a week for an envelope to make it from Kamloops to Toronto via Canada Post? That one relates to the week they give you to pay before the $50 becomes $100. And, of course, why don’t you maintain the equipment? Someone answered for ParkLink and transferred the call to customer service. No one answered. I left a message. No one responded. Three days later, I called again and was again transferred to customer service. No one answered, so I called back and asked if anyone was actually working there beyond the man who said it was just his duty to answer the phone and transfer the calls. Apparently the best time to call is 9 a.m. Pacific time or Toronto time, I asked.

Toronto time was the reply. The ParkLink office is a nine-to-five place that doesn’t appear to acknowledge people who use its equipment might live outside Toronto. He did explain, however, that the online payment system doesn’t work on the day the ticket is issued. Not wanting to bother the one person who had actually spoken with me, I took to emails to what ostensibly is ParkLink’s head office. Several emails. At last count, about a dozen, each one asking if someone would respond to my request for information. Never heard from anyone, even when I advised in one of the last ones that the level of service being provided to this customer might inspire a public airing of my dismay at the lack of response. And now, the city’s gone with this business and 90 pay stations will be popping up downtown sometime later this year. I can’t wait until one of them doesn’t work — which should happen in the first week,. • Still on parking, it was good to learn, as I went through the papers that piled up while I was away, that city council has decided to back Rose Bourdin in her quest to do away with paid parking in the lot next to the emergency department at Royal Inland Hospital. I wonder why they didn’t do this the first time Rose made her pitch to rectify what must be, of all the IHA decisions made in recent years, the truly dumbest one of all.

There’s a reverse echo going on around the country. Whenever Liberal leader Justin Trudeau says something, his comments are invariably followed by a response, usually snide, from the Prime Minister’s Office — in other words, Stephen Harper. Last week, Trudeau was in B.C. and he spoke for the decriminalization of marijuana. Not surprisingly, the PMO came out chastising Trudeau for his comments. Why not? Harper has nurtured a tough-oncrime reputation. To the Conservative government’s credit, crime across Canada appears to be on the decrease, according to Statistics Canada data released last week. Interestingly enough, statistics for marijuana-related offences are on the rise and began rising at about the time Harper and the Conservatives won their first minority government. Coincidence? The point is, the Conservative government, previous governments and the U.S. federal and state governments have tried to put the lid on marijuana cultivation, distribution and use. The end result has been an expensive failure. Estimates of the annual value of the marijuana economy vary, but let’s pick a conservative value of $10 billion. If marijuana was legalized, the federal government could keep $9 billion and pass $1 billion off to health care, education or social housing. What about endangered species, the coast guard or infrastructure upgrades? It’s time to rethink the approach to the war on drugs, legalizing marijuana would be a profitable and useful first step.

Re: Trudeau continues conversation on caring again: “Where were Todd Stone and Terry Lake — aren’t they Liberals? Hahahahahahaha.” — Karen Fox

City should follow Toﬁno’s lead on mine Editor: We represent four groups of Kamloops citizens who are opposed to development of the Ajax open-pit copper and gold mine immediately adjacent to, and partly within, our city’s boundaries. We have learned current legislation allows the interests of mining companies to override the needs and aspirations of municipalities, regional districts and First Nations. The Mineral Tenure Act gives preferential treatment to the mining sector over other development opportunities such as renewable resources, agriculture and tourism. Because of the well-documented health and environmental hazards associated with open-pit mining, we believe it is critical for all Kamloops residents to be aware of this issue. This spring, the Association of Vancouver Island and Coastal Communities voted unanimously to support a resolution advanced by Tofino Mayor Josie Osborne calling on the provincial government to modernize the Mineral Tenure Act. This resolution will be put before the Union of BC Municipalities (UBCM) this fall and we believe it is extremely important local governments and First Nations across B.C. support efforts to enshrine their right to refuse proposals that threaten the wellbeing of their citizens or local eco-systems. We wish to clarify we are not opposed to responsible mining. We recognize the important role this industry plays in our economy. However, developing an open-pit copper and gold mine dangerously close to, and upwind from, a populated area is extremely irresponsible and should not be allowed.

TALK BACK

Q&A WE ASKED Are you taking an out-of-country summer vacation?

SURVEY RESULTS

YES 23% NO 77% 67 VOTES WHAT’S YOUR TAKE?

The health and environmental risks associated with open-pit mining require that such activity be safely away from heavily populated areas and vulnerable ecosystems. Fundamentally, we believe the longterm health and wellbeing of the population and protection of the environment must take priority over the short-term economic benefits of resource extraction. The present environmental assessment process, however well-intentioned, cannot be relied upon to protect the long-term interests of local populations or the environment in which we live. We strongly urge Kamloops citizens to become informed about this issue. We encourage you to let our city councillors

attending the UBCM convention know how important it is for them to support the resolution calling on the provincial government to modernize the Mineral Tenure Act. We also encourage you to contact your MLA and express your concerns.

Government short-sighted on Highway 5A project Editor: Re: (‘Government plans repaving, more inspections for part of Highway 5A,’ KTW, July 28): What an opportunity the government has missed to create a tourist corridor between Merritt and Kamloops. Instead of listening to local residents, the government has chosen to increase truck traffic

on this road by resurfacing the roadway. The reasons given by the trucking association for truckers wanting to use this highway include mainly gas savings and avoiding the higher elevation of the Coquihalla Highway. If the main reason is to avoid winter conditions, I can understand that, however, why

use Highway 5A in the summer — perhaps to miss the weigh scales? Had the government decided to close Highway 5A to trucks from June to August, just think of the tourism options that could have been highlighted for that route. There is the historical Quilchena Ranch, many fishing lakes, camping, access to

Roche Lake Resort, Shumway Lake water sports and a great route for cyclists. Just imagine if this road didn’t have the heavy truck traffic for three short months of the summer how many more folks would go explore the area! — Christine Banford Kamloops

Do you think new ministers at the provincial and federal levels will give the proposed Ajax mine a better shot at gaining approval?

Public hearing nears for Grafton project A public hearing will be held on Aug. 21 on an application by the Kamloops United Church to rezone part of its Camp Grafton property. Notices will be published in newspapers in the Columbia-Shuswap Regional District (CSRD), which is handling the application for about 18 hectares of land at the Shuswap-area camp. The church wants to rezone the land to allow for the sale of two beachfront residential lots of about one hectare in size. The money generated from sale of the lots would go into a fund being used to pay for a $12.8-million redevelopment of the St. Paul Street church into a house of worship, meeting rooms and housing units. The land is zoned institutional and requires a rezoning to institutional and residential. A bylaw approving the amendment has received second reading from the regional district council and the issue will now go to a public hearing. A ministry whose mandate includes aspects the rezoning could affect has told the CSRD it has minor concerns. The Ministry of Forests, Lands and Natural Resource Operations said care needs to be taken in any construction to minimize impact on wildlife and fish habitat in the surrounding area. The ministry’s archeology branch said large portions of the property have not been mapped for possible archeological sites.

Fireﬁghters forego digital system By Tim Petruk STAFF REPORTER tim@kamloopsthisweek.com

While Kamloops Mounties prepare to switch their communications over to digital encrypted radio signals early next year, local firefighters’ frequencies will remain as is — open to the public. “We will not be switching to any type of digital or encrypted format in the foreseeable future,” said Dan Sutherland, Kamloops Fire Rescue’s assistant chief of communications. “What we have works perfectly fine, to be quite honest.” Sutherland said the analog system used by KFR allows firefighters at halls across Kamloops and out in the field to remain in constant contact with each other and their dispatch centre. “The biggest thing for us is we want to be able to talk to our people wherever they are and we can do that right now,” he said. “There’s no need for us to switch.” The Kamloops RCMP’s switch is part of a cross-Canada move by Mounties to digital encryption, one that mirrors what other police services have been doing across North

America in recent months and years. RCMP have cited privacy concerns and the ability of criminals to listen in on their communications as two of the driving factors behind the move, as well as a more dependable radio signal. Sutherland said KFR has no problem with the public hearing what local firefighters are up to. “We don’t have any concerns about the airwaves or people hearing what we see,” he said. “When we pass medical information on and stuff like that, we do it discretely.” Firefighters do more than put out blazes. They are often the first emergency crews to arrive at the scenes of car crashes, health crises and even assaults and other crime scenes. Sutherland said all emergency services in the Kamloops area have a frequency reserved for communicating with each other in case of a large-scale emergency, so he’s not concerned about non-compatibility between digital and analog signals. “If we have a large, multi-agency response, we do have a channel we can use for that,” he said. “So, we already have inter-agency communications set up.”

Bepple sells shares, speaks on Ajax Williams Moving doing just that — STAFF REPORTER andrea@kamloopsthisweek.com

Calls of “welcome back,” from fellow councillors greeted Nancy Bepple’s announcement at Tuesday’s council meeting. After sitting out of discussions of the Ajax mine all term because of a financial conflict of interest, Bepple said she’s sold her shares in Abacus Mining and Exploration Corp., a junior partner in the development of the cop-

per and gold mine. Now that she’s able to speak on the mine, Bepple isn’t coming out for or against the project. “My guess is the city won’t come out ‘yes we NANCY like this’ BEPPLE or ‘no we don’t’,” she said. “I think we’ll be at the table negotiating the best deal possible. “We don’t gain by

Student found guilty in pool-cue assault A Thompson Rivers University international student has been found guilty of assault and assault with a weapon in relation to a pool-cue stabbing incident at a Kamloops bar last year that left his friend with permanent brain damage. Yousef Mohammed Almotairi, a 26-yearold TRU student from Saudi Arabia, was convicted in B.C. Supreme Court on Wednesday, July 31, following a trial that lasted more than a week. Almotairi was at Cactus Jack’s Saloon in the early-morning hours of Nov. 3, 2012, with a

28-year-old friend who was also a Saudi TRU student. The two became involved in an argument and Almotairi attacked his friend with a pool cue, jabbing it into his eye. The cue entered the victim’s brain. He suffered permanent brain damage and is now partially paralyzed. At trial, Almotairi claimed the attack was out of reflex following a punch from the victim. Almotairi, who is not in custody, will return to B.C. Supreme Court on Aug. 6 to fix a date for sentencing.

giving a full endorsement until we’re sure the concerns of the citizens are addressed and we as a city make sure things like our infrastructure are protected.” She said she thinks the city has done a good job so far of making sure the province is aware of community concerns, and also the city’s corporate interests — protecting its infrastructure, for example. But, those concerns

Williams Moving and Storage is closing down its physical Kamloops operation, but that doesn’t mean the business is moving out of town for good. At the end of August, the company will run its Kamloops business — long-distance moving, international moving, commercial moving and corporate relocation — out of Kelowna. The business has been in operation in the Tournament Capital since 1963.

Company president Jim Williams did not rule out a return to Kamloops by way of a franchisee. “We are open to all possibilities,” he said. “We have deep roots in Kamloops and the last thing we want to do is discontinue operating in a city that has given us so much over the years.” Williams Moving and Storage, in business since 1929, operates in 11 markets in B.C. and Alberta.

Do not go gentle into that good night, Old age should burn and rave at close of day; Rage, rage against the dying of the light. Though wise men at their end know dark is right, Because their words had forked no lightening they Do not go gentle into that good night. Good men, the last wave by, crying how bright Their frail deeds might have danced in a green bay, Rage, rage against the dying of the light. Wild men who caught and sang the sun in Áight, And learn, too late, they grieved it on its way, Do not go gentle into that good night. Grave men, near death, who see with blinding sight Blind eyes could blaze like meteors and be gay, Rage, rage against the dying of the light. And you, my father, there on the sad height, Curse, bless, me now with your Àerce tears, I pray. Do not go gentle into that good night. Rage, rage against the dying of the light.

There is nothing new that we can say That we haven’t said before; In the 4 years since you left us, Jess, We’ve missed you more and more. We have watched your childhood friends grow up, And some have moved away; But in our hearts you’re twenty-ﬁve, And that is what you’ll stay. We think of all the things you’ve missed, Like marriage, children, jobs. And we wonder what you’d be like now If you were with us, Jess y But surely your perspective, Jess Is different from ours here, It’s only for ourselves we mourn For we miss you so, son, brother, and friend But with your help, we will be brave, As we try to carry on. And someday when our journey’s done. We’ll see your smile once more, And hold you in our arms again. When we meet at Heaven’s door. We love you Jess y Mum, Dad, Kyle, Char and Lil Jesse and all your Family and Friends y

Your memory is our keepsake, We have you in our hearts, Everyday, in some small way, Memories of you come our way, Though absent, you are ever near Still missed, still loved and ever dear. Love forever Dad, Mom, Jesse & family

She Walks in Beauty She walks in beauty, like the night Of cloudless climes and starry skies; And all that’s best of dark and bright Meet in her aspect and her eyes: Thus mellowed to that tender light Which heaven to gaudy day denies. One shade the more, one ray the less, Had half impaired the nameless grace Which waves in every raven trees, Or softly lightens o’er her face; Where thoughts serenely sweet express How pure, how dear their dwelling place. And on the cheek, and o’er that brow, So soft, so calm, so eloquent, The smiles that win, the tints that glow; But tell of days in goodness spent, A mind of peace with all below, A heart whose love is innocent!

UNDERDOGS By Marty Hastings STAFF REPORTER sports@kamloopsthisweek.com

Jordan Kealty and the Kamloops RiverDogs are embracing the underdog role heading into the midget AAA B.C. Minor Baseball Association championship, which gets underway today (Aug. 1) in Chilliwack. Allen Douglas/KTW

HE SMART money is on the Cloverdale Spurs to win the midget AAA B.C. Minor Baseball Association championship, but the Kamloops RiverDogs don’t plan on going out with a whimper. “There isn’t a team in our league we haven’t beaten this season,” RiverDogs head coach Sean Wandler said. “It definitely helps our confidence heading into provincials.” The eight-team tournament gets underway today (Aug. 1) in Chilliwack. With an 18-22 record, Kamloops is the sixth-seeded team, playing in Pool B with the second-seed Vancouver Mounties (27-13), third-seed Tri-City Indians (2416) and seventh-seed Richmond Chuckers (15-25). Wandler went into this season knowing his charges would experience an upand-down campaign, with eight veterans graduating last year and younger players replacing them in the lineup.

The RiverDogs struggled early in the second half of the schedule, but won five of eight games to close the regularseason slate, including a 2-0 victory over a strong Tri-City team in Kamloops on Saturday, July 27. “The last few games we had, we were playing some good baseball, especially this last weekend against TriCity,” Wandler said. “We were kind of firing on all cylinders. It was a good way to end the season and head into provincials.” The first-seed Cloverdale Spurs (363), fourth-seed Victoria Selects (19-18), fifth-seed Chilliwack Cougars (18-20) and eighth-seed South Okanagan Tigers (1327) make up Pool A. Cloverdale was clearly the class of the league, winning 92 per cent of its games. Kamloops has an uphill climb but, as Wandler said, it has beaten every team in the league at least once — and an impressive showing against strong competition at the Canada Day Classic proved the Dogs can handle themselves in tournament play. The hometown

RiverDogs won silver at the mid-season Classic, falling 8-0 in the final to the Langley Junior Blaze on July 1 at NorBrock Stadium. Each team at provincials plays the other squads in their pool once. The top two teams from each pool after round-robin play advance to the semifinals. Kamloops opens the tournament today against Vancouver. Game time is 7:30 p.m. On Friday, Aug. 2, the RiverDogs play Tri-City, with first pitch slated for 6 p.m. In their final round-robin clash, the Dogs square off with Richmond at noon on Saturday, Aug. 3. The semifinals and the championship tilt will be played on Sunday, Aug. 4. Wandler understands the odds are stacked against his team, but he is putting a positive spin on the RiverDogs’ position in the pecking order. “The other advantage we have is we’re coming in as the sixth seed, as the underdogs,” Wandler said. “We just get to go in, have fun and play baseball.”

Smell ‘n’ tell Kelly Shantz, head coach of the Kamloops Heat women’s soccer team, has never seen a game like the one his team was involved in at the Pacific Coast Soccer League’s Challenge Cup in Coquitlam on Saturday, July 27. Allen Douglas/KTW

Smell rotten eggs? It could be natural gas.

Match of a lifetime By Marty Hastings STAFF REPORTER sports@kamloopsthisweek.com

Nobody wants to remember being thrashed 7-2 in a championship final. The Kamloops Heat lost by that scoreline in the Pacific Coast Soccer League women’s Premier Division title tilt on Sunday, July 28. Thanks to a semifinal slobber-knocker for the ages, that drubbing is the last thing they will think of when harking back to the Challenge Cup tournament in Coquitlam. Kamloops and the Peninsula Co-op Highlanders of Victoria stole the show on Saturday, July 27, with a semifinal matchup featuring 12 goals — eight of them coming in extra time. “I still have a hard time getting my head around it,” said Kelly Shantz, the Heat’s head coach. “My assistant coach Kevin Fertile and I have been together forever. We’ve played at every level. That was the wildest game we’ve ever been a part of.” Nothing had been decided after 90 minutes of play in sweltering temperatures, with Kamloops and Peninsula tied 2-2 heading into a pair of 15-minute extratime halves. Co-captain Marlie Rittinger and Kelsey Martin scored for Kamloops in regulation. Bronwyn Crawford, also a Heat co-captain, used her head to flick a long ball over the Highlanders defence six minutes into the first extra frame. Alanna Bekkering

ran onto it and bulged the old onion bag to give Kamloops a 3-2 lead. “My first reaction was turning to Kevin on the bench and saying, ‘That was way too early,’” Shantz said. “There was too much time left.” Two minutes later, the Highlanders evened the score at 3-3, but the Heat regained the lead through Heather Lloyd before the whistle sounded to signal the end of the first half of extra time. After 105 minutes of play, Kamloops had already blown three leads — 1-0, 2-1 and 3-2 — and there was more squandering to come. Five minutes passed in the second half of extra time before Peninsula scored to tie the game 4-4. Then the Highlanders tallied again to take a 5-4 lead. Six minutes after the Vancouver Island women had drawn level, they notched another goal to make it 6-4. “I distinctly remember looking at my watch as it ticked past 11 minutes and 30 seconds and the score was 6-4, going, ‘Shit, the girls can be proud of themselves, but it would have been nice to win this one,’” Shantz said. “I’ve got to be honest — I thought we were cooked. I thought we were done.” It turns out the game’s biggest twists were still to come. Brianna Powrie sent a knifing throughball past the Peninsula defenders to Bekkering, who was hauled down inside the 18-yard box,

drawing a penalty kick. Rittinger is the Heat’s designated spot-kick assassin, but Shantz was worried a leg injury might keep her away from the dot. That was not the case. “She walked up to the ball and she meant business,” Shantz said. “She buried it. It was perfect.” Down 6-5 with less than a minute to play, the Heat needed a hero. They found one in Bekkering. She streaked down the left side of the pitch and used her left foot to whip a curling shot goalward. Shantz thought it was heading wide, but it caught the inside of the far post and went in. “I looked down at my watch and it was at 15:00,” Shantz said. The referee allowed the Highlanders to kick off, but there were no more heroics in the bag and it was 6-6 after extra time. “Eight goals in overtime . . . I’ve talked to so many soccer people who can never think of anything remotely close to that happening,” Shantz said. To penalty kicks they went. “My first question to the team was, ‘Who wants one?’” Shantz said. “Some players hate them. They’re too nervous and they freeze. “It was the usual suspects who put their hands up for the most part — Bronwyn, Marlie, Kelsey and Alanna — but there was a bit of a surprise in Blair MacKay.” X See PENALTIES A18

The usual suspects made good from the spot and Heat goalkeeper Taylor Shantz stopped the Highlanders’ third shooter, opening the door for MacKay, a

veteran defender, to end the game with one strike. “She put it over the net,” Shantz said. “So, it came down to their fifth shooter to score to tie it, but she put it over the bar and

the game was over.” MacKay could rest easy. The Heat had won 7-6. Vancouver Whitecaps FC thumped a gassed Kamloops squad 7-2 in the final. The women from the

Tournament Capital will want to forget that one — which shouldn’t be too hard to do. “The girls can hold their heads high,” Shantz said. “I’ve never seen anything like that before.”

Rodeo girls return home with bragging rights Three Kamloops cowgirls are holding their heads high after strong showings at a pair of world-class rodeos. Rachel Kerr, Samantha Kerr and Vanessa Leggett attended last month the U.S. National High School Finals Rodeo in Rock Springs, Wyo., and the Canadian High School Finals Rodeo in Nanton, Alta. Rachel, elder sister to Samantha, rode her horse Squirt and placed third in cutting at the American event, widely regarded as the most prestigious and best attended high-school rodeo on the planet. Vanessa, riding Ice, was recruited by Texas Tech University after winning bronze in barrel racing at U.S. nationals.

TOURNAMENT CAPITAL SPORTS

Samantha was chosen by her peers to be the student event director — a rare honour for a 15-year-old freshman. At the Canadian event, Rachel mounted her horse Rickety Dump Truck and placed third in pole bending. She then hopped back on Squirt and placed second in cutting. Both results added up to a second-overall finish, earning her the title of Reserve Champion High Point Girl. Vanessa, riding Shiver, won the barrel-racing event, staking her claim as

national champion.

Tournament Capital soccer frenzy The River City will be flooded with footy players this weekend when the 23rd Kamloops Invitational Soccer Tournament kicks off on fields across the city. The tournament, which will feature 85 teams and about 1,500 participants, will run from Friday, Aug. 2, to Monday, Aug. 5. Fields at the Cottonwood Avenue park, in the Singh Bowl and on McArthur

Island will be used. There will be a beach party held in a tent at the Kamloops Exhibition Association on Sunday. The festivities get underway at 8 p.m. Buy tickets for the party for $10 at the score desk on McArthur Island.

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.

HOURS Mon-Wed: 9:30 am - 6 pm • Thurs & Fri: 9:30 am - 9 pm Sat 9:30 am - 6 pm • Sun & Hol 9:30 am - 5 pm

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.

MORTGAGE MATTERS

Egypt: Worse than a crime

Renters!! Are you ready to buy?

‘It’s very hard to see how the Egyptians can find their way back from where they are now’

WO MASSACRES COMMITTED BY THE EGYPTIAN ARMY IN ONE

WEEK. At least 130 people killed in the streets of Cairo for protesting against the military coup. It is worse than a crime (as the French diplomat CharlesMaurice Talleyrand remarked when Napoleon Bonaparte ordered a particularly counterproductive execution). It is a mistake. It is also a crime, of course. The killing has been deliberate and precise — only trained snipers could produce so many victims who have been shot in the head or the heart. General Abdel Fattah al-Sisi and Adly Mansour, the tame president he has installed, tell the kind of lies generals and politicians always tell when this sort of thing is going on, but the reports of the journalists on the scene leave no room for doubt: This is murder. But it is, above all, a mistake. When the army fulfilled the demands of the anti-government demonstrators in Tahrir Square on July 3 by overthrowing the elected president, Mohammed Morsi, after only a year in office, it must have known his supporters in the Muslim Brotherhood would protest in the streets. And, it must have had a plan for dealing with those protests. Soldiers always have plans. The simplest plan would be just to wait the protesters out. The Muslim Brotherhood could put large numbers of people on the streets but, at least in Cairo, an even larger number of people would go to Tahrir Square and support the coup. Use minimum force, contain the demonstrations by both sides and wait for people to get bored and go home. In the meanwhile, push on with the process of rewriting the constitution to remove the Islamic bits inserted last year by Morsi’s party and hold a new referendum to ratify it. By the time fresh presidential and parliamentary elections are held early next year, the Muslim Brotherhood will

presumably have found more modern and moderate leaders to replace Morsi — and, in any case, the secular parties will win the election. GWYNNE DYER Was this really Sisi’s scenario World WATCH for the future when he overthrew Morsi’s government? Perhaps the army’s moderate behaviour in the first week after the coup could support that hypothesis. But, it wouldn’t have taken long for the soldiers to understand things were unlikely to work according to plan. The problem was not so much the imprisoned president’s refusal to legitimize his overthrow by co-operating with the military, or the tens of thousands of peaceful proMorsi demonstrators camped out in the streets. Morsi’s non-co-operation was predictable and so were the pro-Morsi crowds, but his supporters were patient and peaceful. Wait another month or so — and most of them would probably go home. In this scenario, the turning point would have come when Sisi or his advisers finally realized the Muslim Brotherhood could wait it out too. Whatever the intervening process, if the Brotherhood was really free to run again in the promised election next year, it might win again. That would be catastrophic for the army’s very privileged position in Egypt — so the Brotherhood had to be excluded from politics. That is a charitable take on the army’s motives. The likelier explanation, alas, is Sisi planned to ban the Brotherhood from the start. Democracy be damned — the “deep state,” that permanent collusion between well-fed Egyptian soldiers and bureaucrats and the foreign military and commercial interests who feed them, is making a comeback. And, the political idiots on Tahrir Square are cheering it on. Either way, the army’s

political project now requires the massive use of force: The supporters of the Brotherhood must be driven from the streets, by murder if necessary, and its leaders must be criminalized and banned. And other political idiots in Washington, London and Paris are going along with that too. President Barack Obama is uncomfortable with what is happening, but he won’t call it a coup because then he would be obliged to cut off $1.5 billion a year in aid to the Egyptian army. Instead, he calls it a “postrevolution transition,” and promises the United States will be a “strong partner to the Egyptian people as they shape their path to the future.” His loyal sidekick William Hague, the British Foreign Secretary (also known as “Tonto”), asks the Egyptian authorities politely to refrain from violence because “now is the time for dialogue, not confrontation.” ‘Fraid not. Now is the time for murder — and foreign democrats are holding the murderer’s coat. Egypt is the biggest Arab country by far and, so long as the democratic revolution prospered in Egypt, you could still say the Arab Spring was changing things for the better, even despite the calamity in Syria. But, it’s hard to see how the Egyptians can find their way back from where they are now. Even worse, the Egyptian coup is stark proof political Islam cannot succeed by taking the democratic path. The message it conveys to devout Islamists all over the Arab world is that Osama bin Laden was right — only by violence can their political project succeed. Thanks a bunch, General Sisi.

People rent for very good reasons, and you may have many of them...but have you ever wondered if you are ready to buy? Here are a few considerations to review when deciding if you are ready to buy. 1) The Rental Market – What are the rents projected to be in the near future, how much

are you paying compared to similar rental units, what could your rental dollar do if it was put toward a mortgage payment? 2) Employment – How safe is your employment, are you committed to the work force or considering school, is your income showing signs of stability/ increase/ or decrease, are you happy with your job? 3) Happiness – Is your current home meeting all your needs today, will your needs change in the near future, can your home suit your future needs? 4) Rate Trends – Low interest rates can mean your payment dollar can go further. Taking advantage of periods with low interest rates can put you in a higher value home for the same monthly payment as a less expensive house with a higher interest rate. What are the interest rates expected to do? 5) Inventory – Perhaps most importantly...what is available for sale in your price range, in the neighbourhood you prefer and in the style of home that you desire? A premature step into something that is only second best for you and your family begs a “for sale sign” in your future. Get it right the ﬁrst time. Shop the market and be prepared to take a break if what you see doesn’t make you happy. 6) Down Payment – Down payment is not always an obstacle if you are ready to buy. Some lenders will allow a borrow downpayment. However, in most cases, lenders like to see a 5% downpayment and 1.5% closing costs. This can come from a gift from family, savings, RRSP withdrawal etc. 7) Nobody Moves Nobody Gets Hurt – Staying exactly where you are involves the least amount of work, least amount of change and least amount of money out of your pocket...in the short term. Preparing yourself for home ownership is something that can start today and gets you set up for the long term. A trip to your mortgage broker is part of that plan. Contact me if you are interested in my once per month “mortgage school” home buying education series. Homebuyers and supportive friends and family are welcome!

North Shore gets new festival this month Overlander Days are coming to the North Shore in August. The North Shore Business Improvement Association (NSBIA) is launching a new summer family festival — Overlander Days — featuring myriad attractions for all ages. “We’re really excited to get this off the ground this year,” NSBIA executive director Steven Puhallo said. “In talking with businesses

and people in the community, this was a major hot topic — to start building a summer family festival on the North Shore.” Overlander Days organizers are planning to incorporate a number of different attractions for the Aug. 17 event at McDonald Park. “We’re planning to have everything from a children’s area with a bouncy castle and face painting to a ‘pioneer’ area with things for the

seniors in our community to take part in,” said NSBIA director and Overlander Days committee member Greg Power. There will also be a Tastes of the North Shore food fair for visitors to sample different dishes from the North Shore’s restaurants and food vendors. “We have a great restaurant culture on the North Shore and we want to show if off,” said Mike Ward,

Be a part of your

owner of Reubin’s Diner on Tranquille Road. “This is a great opportunity for North Shore restaurants to get exposure and promote our product.” Part of the proceeds from the food fair will go to the Meals on Wheels program. Overlander Days will also feature live entertainment and a business expo. The festival will take place on Saturday, Aug. 17, from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.

Who doesn’t like laughing?

Toronto comic David Andrew Brentt will be co-headlining a show at the Dirty Jersey on Friday, Aug. 9.

By Tim Petruk STAFF REPORTER tim@kamloopsthisweek.com

Forgive Ed Hill’s lack of knowledge about Kamloops. “Well, I’ve driven through it a couple times, stopped for gas, and it seemed nice,” the 29-yearold comedian told KTW on the phone from Vancouver just over a week ahead of his first on-stage performance in the Tournament Capital — alongside co-headliner David Andrew Brent at the Dirty Jersey on Friday, Aug. 9. The answer, and the one that followed it, sounded like it should almost end in a question mark. “I have a few friends there?” Hill should be forgiven for a couple of reasons. No. 1, he’s a foreigner — sort of. Born in Taiwan, his family immigrated to Canada when he was nine years old. “My parents told me we were going on vacation,” he said. “And, 20 years later, I’m still on vacation.” The second reason Hill should be forgiven for not knowing much about Kamloops is because he’s been busy.

Four years into his standup comedy career, Hill is working almost non-stop to break into the business that’s notoriously tough to break into. “It’s been quite intense,” he said. “I’ve been quite active in the last four years.” Hill said he started getting on stage three or four times each week, which is a lot for a green comic. “Now, I do five or six,” he said. “And, I’ve been doing a lot of the festival circuits across North America.” Later this year, Hill will be taking his show on the road again — this time overseas. In the fall, he’s slated to travel to Asia for dates in Hong Kong, Singapore and his native Taiwan. He said the appetite for English-language standup in many parts of Asia is actually quite large. “In Singapore and Hong Kong, they speak English — that’s one of their languages,” he said. “Most of their programming is Western, so most Western cultural references they will

understand. “But, if you drop too far back into the ‘70s and ‘80s they might not follow because they didn’t have that at that time.” As for Taiwan, Hill said he’s not sure what to expect. He said standup comedy is new to the country, especially English-language. But, Hill said it will be nice to perform his craft in the country in which he was born. “I hope so,” he said. “It’s kind of nerve-racking, too. “But, I’m looking forward to it.” Formerly a professional DJ, Hill said he kind of backed into standup comedy. While attending university five years ago, he said, he noticed a flyer advertising classes in standup. “It was literally like a threeminute drive from my class to this course, so I thought I’d just go after class,” he said. “So, I took the course and just went from there.” Hill said he never really pictured himself getting into comedy.

WEEKLY CROSSWORD

Ed Hill is playing Kamloops on Friday, Aug. 9.

‘Your typical Asian student’ X From B6

“I wasn’t the class clown,” he said. “I was actually a very good student — your typical Asian student.” Now, four years in, Hill is doing what every up-and-coming comedian does when they’re not playing shows in clubs — podcasting. Ex is Forever premieres on Monday, Aug. 5, and it’s not your typical comedian-behind-a-microphone podcast. “It’s not strictly a comedy podcast,” Hill said. “It’s more comedy-slash-relationships.” Co-hosted by improv comedian

and humour writer Jeff Penner, Ex is Forever will be a bi-weekly podcast in which the two hosts and a guest discuss one of the guest’s exes — from first kiss to fallout. “I see podcasting as a way to create content,” Hill said. “Anybody in the arts, creating new content is key.” The podcast will be available on iTunes and at the show’s website, exisforever.com.

Timing meal presentation food fordinner family dinner Building bridges with family

T WASN’T AN EASY DECISION WHEN SAM AND ELLIE DECIDED, ALONG WITH SAM’S MOTHER, THAT THE BEST THING FOR ALL OF THEM WOULD BE TO BUY A HOUSE WITH A GRANNY FLAT. Sam and Ellie had lived with family before and it had left everyone involved with lingering resentments that they tried to cover up with pie and ice cream and careful skirting around topics that caused tension. Esther was happy with her apartment, though. After a long search, the house they found had a basement walkout that was flooded in the mornings with sunlight and, if she stepped out onto her patio right to where it met the grass and leaned to the south, there was a view

F re

DARCIE HOSSACK Bon APPÉTIT that couldn’t be beat. Upstairs, Ellie was nervous about dinner. On the day they’d all signed the legal documents, they agreed, as a family, Wednesdays would be family dinner night. One night of the week, they would plan a menu, divide it between them, then enjoy each other’s company around the table that had been an antique when Esther received it for her wedding 40 years earlier, and now occupied Ellie’s dining room. This week, while

sh dill d ip

1 cup mayonnaise 1 cup sour cream 1 garlic clove, minced 1 tbsp. shallot, minced 4 tbsps. fresh, finely chopped, dill weed 1 tbsp. fresh, finely chopped, parsley leaves Flaked kosher salt/freshly ground pepper In a medium bowl, beat together mayonnaise and sour cream with a rubber spatula until it combines. Gently fold in garlic and shallot, dill and parsley. Season to taste. Refrigerate for at least one hour to let flavours develop. Adjust seasoning.

Esther had offered to make a roast-beef dinner, complete with Yorkshire puddings, Ellie had wanted to do something special that b showed her mothboth er-in-law she was glad t they lived so close now (because she wasn’t yet sure she was glad), and t built a bridge to that b bring them together Bridges could be built b with food, she was sure of it. The Food Network and 100 glossy magazines told her it was so. And so, Ellie insisted that t on this first familydinner night, she wanted to do everything. Just this time. Perhaps, she said, Esther could bring some E veggies and dip to start

things off. Esther didn’t want to say anything — certainly not that her feelings were hurt by being left in the produce aisle. And not that she thought Ellie had bitten off more than she could chew. Through the years, Esther had probably prepared 1,000 family dinners, often for dozens of people, and the one thing she knew was timing a dinner is something easier done when done together. Nevertheless, on Wednesday, when the farmers’ market opened, Esther quietly drove herself down the hill from their house, parked in the grassy lot next to all the tents and

spent a good two hours buying things she’d never known existed. In her mesh handbag she had some fresh dill and parsley for her dip, along with a purple cauliflower, yellow baby carrots and zucchini the size of her fingers. She stopped to eat a tray of little doughnuts, which she vowed to try making at home one day, then went on to stop at the grocery for a carton of sour cream. Back at home, Ellie’s plans to shop after work, come home, and make a stuffed trout with steamed baby carrots and creamy bruleed custards for dessert had come as far as discovering she should have unpacked her kitchen,

and should have asked for a deboned fish with no scales. Ellie didn’t even like fish but she was a good cook. She’d just never had the chance to prove it to Esther. When Ester came upstairs with her veggies, neatly cup up and arranged around a bowl of dip, she found Ellie scraping against the grain of a fish with a butter knife, sending silvery scales flying into her hair. “Can I help?” Esther asked. For a moment, Ellie stood frozen, hoping it would render her invisible. And then, both women began to laugh.

Just a little. It wasn’t exactly a bridge but maybe a footing. “You can learn new recipes from a magazine,” Esther said as Ellie tore out a recipe for homemade relish, which Esther set aside without reading. “But they cannot tell you how to cook. For that, you need someone to teach.” Ellie took a deep breath — and left the footing where it was. Darcie Hossack is a food writer and author of Mennonites Don’t Dance.

EYE ON COMMUNITY

Welcome to KTW’s Eye On Community page, where we showcase through the camera lens, positive events in Kamloops. If you have a photo of a charity donation, a grand-opening picture or other uplifting images, email them to editor@kamloopsthisweek.com, with “eye on community” in the subject line.

A very special flower made a pit-stop recently in the Tournament Capital. The Knights of Columbus Silver Rose was in Kamloops on July 14. In the photo above, K of C members pose with St. John Vianney’s pastor Msgr. Jerry Desmond. On the left, Grand Knight Devon O’Toole of Knights of Columbus Council 9508 shows Desmond the sterling flower. The rose that stopped in Kamloops was one of three such bling blooms travelling across North America. They are slated to arrive in Mexico City on Dec. 12 in honour of the Blessed Virgin Mary. The K of C Silver Rose program has been around for 53 years. It commemorates an event in December 1531 in which South American aboriginal Juan Diego is said to have encountered the Virgin Mary and, following her instructions, took to his church’s bishop a cloak bearing her image filled with roses. The cloak is still on display at a church in Mexico City. Chuck Bishop photos

FAITH

666 — the mark of the beast

E’VE ALL SEEN IT — 666 — SPRAY-PAINTED BY VANDALS ON BUILDINGS OR USED AS A DRAMATIC DEVICE IN DEMONIC-THEMED HORROR FILMS. But, what does it really mean? I’m sure the adolescent graffiti vandals don’t have a clue except that it represents something evil and fits with their “angry at the world/screw authority” mindset. The number 666 comes from the Book of Revelation, the last book of the Bible. I was about 17 CHRIS KEMPLING when I first read You Gotta Have Revelation and, to FAITH be frank, it scared me. It is one of the most enigmatic and difficult books to comprehend in all the Bible; dreamlike in style, apocalyptic in tone and terrifying if read literally — but, finally, triumphant. It is a prophecy of what believers can expect in the last days just prior to the second coming of Christ — and it is not pleasant. There is a troika of evil characters in Revelation.

The “dragon” is generally interpreted as Satan, the fallen angel intent on destroying the followers of Christ. His leader on Earth in the last days is called The Beast or The Antichrist. Scripture notes there have been many antichrists, but this final one will be the most diabolical of all because he will control all the governments of the world and actively exterminate true believers. One of the ways he will impress the people of the world with his power is his miraculous resurrection following what is clearly a life-ending wound. “The beast seemed to have had a fatal wound, but the fatal wound had been healed. The whole world was astonished and followed the beast.” The first beast is followed by a second beast, basically his prime minister. The second beast enforces the worship of the dragon and the first beast and performs astounding miracles of his own, including “calling fire to come down from heaven to earth in full view of men.” But, here is where 666 comes in. “He also forced everyone, small and great, rich and poor, free and slave, to receive a mark on his right hand or on his forehead, so that no one could buy or sell unless he had the mark, which is the name of the beast or the number of his name . . . His number is 666.” The “mark on the forehead” is significant, because many Christians, when they

IMAGINE what would happen if you told 80,000 people about your

are baptized, have the sign of the cross traced on their foreheads — the beast’s order is intended as an explicit blasphemy. People have for centuries attempted to figure out the beast’s name by assigning a numerical value to the letters of the names of different nefarious world leaders (e.g. Nero, Hitler, Napoleon, certain Popes, etc.). But, there are obvious difficulties applying this interpretation to today’s world. A few years ago, I recall reading about an explanation of 666 that made a lot of sense. 666 is clearly some kind of identification number and the technologies we now have make it all possible. Three six-digit numbers can easily identify everyone alive today. The first six is one’s birthdate (e.g. 01-01-75, someone born Jan. 1, 1975). The second six would be one’s personal ID number (000,001 to 999,999). The third six would be the GPS location (degrees, minutes, seconds of longitude and latitude) of one’s birthplace (or perhaps one’s current location). These three numbers, used in combination, could identify everyone on the planet. The “mark” on the right hand or forehead would likely be a miniature radio-frequency identification device (RFID)implanted subcutaneously. Hitachi has already developed one that is incredibly small (0.05 millimetres square). Rice grain-sized RFID devices are currently being used in humans for night-club

admissions in Barcelona and for the children of wealthy Mexican businessmen at risk of kidnapping. They can easily be adapted for buying and selling — think of the convenience of being able to wave your hand across a reader instead of fumbling for a debit or credit card. But, I don’t think 666 is a code for the beast’s actual name and, even if it is, so what (other than a confirmation of the prophecy)? I think it is simply the term people will use for the implant device with their 6-6-6 ID code on it, as in, “Have you got your ‘beast’ number yet?” Revelation makes it clear anyone who accepts the “mark” of the beast will be doomed in the last judgment. The alternative, being rounded up as “security risks” and disposed of in concentration camps, is not pleasant either. Revelation recounts the final showdown between good and evil, and not accepting the 666 mark will be what separates true believers from everyone else.
