Mounties on trail of those who made explosives threat By Dale Bass STAFF REPORTER dale@kamloopsthisweek.com

A PRANK THAT BOMBED For five hours on Tuesday, Aug. 27, the Ramada Inn at 555 Columbia Street West housed just a few occupants — RCMP officers and a specially trained dog responding to a phone call from within the hotel that there was a bomb in the building. For those long hours — Mounties were called at about 10 a.m. and released the scene at 3:30 p.m. — staff and guests of the hotel, along with others in the area, were left to watch as police and the dog, brought in from the Kelowna detachment, searched for something they hoped they wouldn’t find. In the end, after those 330 minutes of anxious waiting and wondering, all that was uncovered were three notes, the contents of which police aren’t about to reveal. All police will say on the matter comes from a press release sent out to media later on Tuesday from Cpl. Cheryl Bush that simply states: “RCMP have seized evidence from within the building and will be continuing their investigation into this matter in efforts to identify the person responsible.” KTW asked Bush what it cost to investigate what appears to be little more than a prank. Bush replied in an email that the detachment isn’t interested in providing the information for the simple reason it might “satisfy the people who do this type of thing.” She explained the dog was brought in from Kelowna “because that was the closest dog with an explosive-detection profile.” In response to ways to avoid this kind of incident happening again, Bush replied: “How do you stop people from doing such things, other than educating them that they can be criminally charged?” While it’s up to Crown to make the final decision on charges, Bush said any laid would likely include public mischief — something which, if a person is convicted, could result in a prison term of no more than five years, but would more likely see a fine imposed. Staff at the hotel were told by the owner, who lives in Alberta, not to talk to the media about the incident, but said the request would be forwarded to him. In an email, Dodie Costain, who deals with sales and marketing for the hotel, declined to answer any questions, but said “our only comment is that we took care of our customers’ needs and we have nothing but praise for the RCMP.” Bush said about a dozen of the hotels rooms were occupied at the time and had to be evacuated.

Mounties were extra-careful when responding to a bomb threat at the Sahali Ramada Inn on Tuesday, Aug. 27, after a call came from inside the building. No explosives were found, though police are examining three notes for evidence. For more photos from the scene, go online to kamloopsthisweek.com. Dave Eagles/KTW
An exceptionally sunny, dry summer helped push BC Parks to an all-time record number of reservations at provincial campgrounds. More than 115,000 camping reservations were made through the province’s Discover Camping service, up 12 per cent from last year. Campers were allowed to make reservations at more campsites and campgrounds, including Kleanza Creek, Martha Creek, Chilliwack Lake, Mable Lake and Bowron Lake, increasing the number of reservable sites to more than 5,000 at 95 parks. While Labour Day is the traditional end to the regular camping season, BC Parks officials are trying to pump up shoulder-season camping. They say campsites are quieter in the fall, with attractions like spawning salmon in some areas. It’s also the time of year when long-stay camping is permitted, allowing campers to stay four to six weeks at reduced rates in select parks. Seniors over 65 also get camping discounts from Sept. 3 to June 14 next year.

GYGER CATCHERS Hannah Gyger flies for the Kamloops Outlaw All-Stars, a competitive cheerleading team that includes power tumbling, dancing, jumping and stunt work. The talented team was in fine form at Hillside Stadium during the Saturday, Aug. 24, B.C. Football Conference game between the Kamloops Broncos and Vancouver Island Raiders. The Broncos flew almost as high as Hannah as they led the powerhouse Nanaimo squad 19-11 at the half, only to fall 37-27. Kamloops is now 0-4-1 and sits fifth in the six-team league. Vancouver Island is fourth with a record of 3-2. The Broncos have a week off before travelling to Chilliwack for a Saturday, Sept. 7 game against the Huskers. The Broncos’ next home game is Saturday, Sept. 14, against the winless Westshore Rebels of Greater Victoria. Allen Douglas/KTW

More liquor stores may sell cold beer and wine By Jeff Nagel and Tim Petruk BLACK PRESS/STAFF REPORTER jnagel@blackpress.ca tim@kamloopsthisweek.com
Another liquor-policy reform being eyed by the province would allow more government liquor stores sell cold beer and wine, which has long been the domain of private stores. Ten government stores already sell some refrigerated products, but the province will now test the waters for a major expansion. Walk-in beer and wine “cold rooms” will open at the end of September at three stores in Burnaby, Duncan and Salmon Arm. That’s the first stage of a pilot project that will add four more walk-in beer and wine refrigeration coolers at existing stores in Oliver,
Osoyoos, Mill Bay and Grand Forks later in the fall. The province wants feedback on the idea as part of its alreadylaunched Liquor Policy Review, along with several other proposals for reform. The concept may be in for a rough ride from the organization representing private liquor stores. The Alliance of Beverage Licensees of B.C. called the move a surprise and said it would throw private outlets and government stores into more direct competition. The mood among local liquor retailers appears to be one of unease. Paul Vinepal, owner of McCracken Pub and Liquor Store in Valleyview, said the market is tough enough as it is without government stores offering cold beer and wine.
“We don’t think it’s a good idea, to be honest,” he said. “They let the private investor make an investment and now they are doing this.” Vinepal said the move will likely further decrease profit margins for an industry that has been struggling in recent years. “We are already being hit hard by the lower consumption,” he said, referencing the 0.05 immediate roadside-prohibition legislation enacted in B.C. almost three years ago. “That’s already affecting us and the other pubs,” Vinepal said. “The government shouldn’t be competing against private enterprises. It definitely will affect our business and it’s already tough as it is.” Rick Pollon, owner of Halston Liquor Store, said he’s against the change, but not all that surprised.
“Well, my take on it is the government should keep their hands out of everybody’s pockets,” he said, noting the pricing structure is unfair for private retailers. “We’re kind of set on how we operate in pricing. They’re not. “They kind of make up the rules as they go.” Pollon believes the change will have an impact on consumers. “It probably will, but I don’t know what it will be,” he said. “We won’t have a chance to know until it happens. “As it becomes more real, then it becomes more of a concern.” John Yap, the parliamentary secretary for the liquor-policy review, said all other Canadian provinces offer refrigeration in most, if not all, of their government liquor stores.
“This is another area where we think B.C. is lagging behind other jurisdictions,” Yap said. “Refrigeration units seem to be very popular with customers, but the public and industry will now have the opportunity to give us feedback on whether this is something they would like to see on a larger scale around the province.” Other potential reforms being explored include licensing farmers’ markets and spas to serve alcohol and letting under-aged children have lunch at a pub with their parents during the day. Public consultations run until Oct. 31 and a website for comments is to launch next month. Don’t expect booze to get cheaper under any future reforms. The province aims to at least maintain if not increase its revenue.

Cutting Lounge now Ra Hair Ra Hair Studio & Spa has purchased the Cutting Lounge hair salon in Sahali. The building at 1300 Summit Dr. will open its doors on Tuesday, Sept. 3 — the first day back to school — as Ra Hair Studio & Spa. Ra Hair will close its current operation at 101805 Notre Dame Dr. “Clients of both salons have nothing to worry about,” said co-owner Josh Kozuki. “Their favourite stylist or esthetician will still be available. We’ll just all be working together under one roof.” With several floors, the new, bigger space means spa services Ra already offers will continue to expand to include body scrubs and massages. The location will also be more accessible and offer more parking.

On July 23, members of the Homelessness Action Plan (HAP) leadership council were listening to Kamloops MP Cathy McLeod talk about the federal government’s involvement in addressing the social issue. As she wrapped up, said HAP co-ordinator Tangie Genshorek, McLeod told the group that, with a new MP in the role of minister of state for social development, “she should bring her here to find out what we’re doing.” A bit more than month later, on Monday, Aug. 26, Candice Bergen and McLeod met again with the leadership group, augmented by members of the city’s working group on homelessness, to talk about the issue and what is being done in Kamloops to alleviate it. “She wanted to hear the nitty-gritty,” Genshorek said, “She wanted details, not just policy ideas.” Bergen was particularly interested in the city’s rent bank, which was started in February and provides small low-interest loans to people in crisis who need the assistance to stay in their housing or pay utilities in arrears. “She wanted to hear the specifics of the kinds of problems we face,” Genshorek said.

Still plenty of students despite decision to close visa offices By Dale Bass STAFF REPORTER dale@kamloopsthisweek.com
A decision to close visa offices in Seoul, Tokyo and Berlin may have caused some concern for trustees but, on a flight back from the Lower Mainland last week, the plane was about one-third filled by international students, said Kamloops-Thompson school district superintendent Terry Sullivan. The board sent a letter to Citizenship and Immigration Canada in late July, expressing concerns about the office-closure decision and its potential impact on processing visas students need to come to Kamloops for education. Other school districts in the province had expressed similar concerns and written similar letters, Sullivan said. The reply from the federal min-
isterial-enquiries division noted the decision was made to “make processing more efficient and deliver better service and value for money to Canadians.” The new system allows for electronic applications, payments and processing files. The website has a wizard to assist applicants, tutorials, frequently asked questions section and other information and allows people to apply at any time, the letter states. Sullivan said he’s not sure how the change might impact the international-student part of the school district, noting 110 foreign students came to Kamloops for education through the school district last year, the most ever, and he expects more this year. There are 30 students on their way to the school district from Brazil, for example, Sullivan said.

Gaglardi stands trial in 2014 By Tim Petruk STAFF REPORTER tim@kamloopsthisweek.com
The trial of Tom Gaglardi has been pushed back to early 2014. The 46-year-old majority owner of the Kamloops Blazers, who also owns the NHL’s Dallas Stars and whose Northland Properties company is behind the large Sandman development on Lorne Street, is charged with two counts of harmful alteration of a fish habitat stemming from work done three years ago on a family property in Savona. Charged alongside Gaglardi are Robert John Gaglardi and Northland Properties Corporation. A business partner was initially included on the indictment, but has since been removed. Gaglardi had been slated to stand trial earlier this summer, but that date has since been pushed back. Last month, dates were set for a new three-day trial in January. According to court documents obtained by KTW, the charges allege the parties contravened federal legislation by first clearing and then filling land — actions “that
resulted in the harmful alteration, disruption or destruction of fish habitat, the foreshore of Kamloops Lake.” The documents allege the offences took place between April 2010 and Jan. 25, 2011. The charges were laid on April 10, 2012. At a pre-trial conference in April, before the June trial dates were pushed back, Crown prosecutor D.R. Kier said he intends to call six witnesses — including a surveyor and a biologist — and show before-and-after aerial footage of the property. The Gaglardi family has a lakeside property in Savona, located east of the entry to the Savona Aspen Planers panel plant. Meanwhile, the Gaglardis are also being sued by the strata of a residential development the family built in Revelstoke, beginning in 2007. The lawsuit, filed in January in B.C. Supreme Court in Vancouver, claims Tom, Bob, Andrea and Devonna Gaglardi, working under the company name Revelstoke Mountain Resort, Inc., were deficient in installing utilities in the development.
The alleged deficiencies include an unstable retaining wall, incomplete lighting and signage, a sewer system that has “not been set to proper grades” and a drainage system that “has not been completed or constructed as designed.” The document also accuses the Gaglardis of providing falsified information to B.C.’s superintendent of real estate in four reports filed between 2007 and 2009. According to court records, the Gaglardis have yet to file a response to the notice of claim. In September 2012, a local traffic-control company filed a lawsuit against Gaglardi and Northlands, alleging the company failed to make good on a bill of less than $300. Interior Traffic Control was seeking $268.80 — plus $156 in court fees — for work done at the Sandman construction site on Lorne Street in February 2012. The Fisheries Act charges are due back in court on Nov. 8 for a pre-trial conference and then again on Dec. 9 for a trial-confirmation hearing. The trial itself is slated to begin on Jan. 13, 2014.

Message of tolerance trumped by Miley and musical misogyny
T
HERE’S SOME IRONY in the fact that, just a few Facebook postings down from an incredible BBC video celebrating understanding, was a link from the Vancouver Province about bullying. The newspaper article talks about a simple truth — 50 per cent of students surveyed reported they had been victims of bullying. Having just listened to the likes of Maya Angelou, the Dalai Lama, Malala Yousafzal and Joan Baez reciting parts of the I Have A Dream speech, it seemed wrong to then read that society continues to find people to oppress. But, then, this is the same world in which live people who wrote vitriolic comments about a Cheerios commercial that featured an interracial couple and their child. I wonder what Martin Luther King Jr. would have to say about that if he was alive today. Fifty years ago yesterday (Aug. 28), King climbed the stairs of the American monument to the man who freed the slaves, faced hundreds of thousands of people and gave the speech of a lifetime — for those of us who remember it today, a speech of a generation. A speech for a generation. And maybe that’s what’s missing today — a powerful figure with an equally powerful voice and an overwhelming message of tolerance, acceptance, equality and love. There are strong figures with vital messages who still speak out, but few stand out the way King did and does. However, it was a different time
DALE BASS Street
LEVEL then, one my kids and perhaps your kids will never experience. We have all worked so hard to ensure our kids don’t ever live with the kind of society some of us grew up in, and we have succeeded in many ways. I have never told my daughter what my father told me — make sure you learn bookkeeping and typing so you have a career to fall back on if you need to work. My children never experienced teasing from others because they had befriended someone who looked different than they did. I wonder if, in doing so, however, many of us have protected them too much, so that their view of the world is so skewed they don’t see how wrong it is to treat others with contempt. Yesterday, when I was writing this column, I did a quick Google News search for two recent items, Miley Cyrus and King’s speech. It was out of curiosity, more than anything, and it was somewhat satsifying to see the numbers. The publicity stunt Cyrus pulled when she gyrated to the truly reprehensible Robin Thicke song on an
awards show had fewer news links than the 50th-anniversary celebration of King’s words. I wonder what King would have to say about it. Would he shake his head at the misogynistic lyrics to Blurred Lines? Would he celebrate Cyrus’s confidence in dressing the way she did, shaking her body the way she did, or would he wonder what the world he envisioned has come to? I spent my teen years at rallies and protests and strikes. The walls of my bedroom featured posters of Robert and John Kennedy. I had Desiderata, the poem, on my wall and found inspiration in its words: “You are a child of the universe, no less than the trees and the stars; “You have a right to be here. “And whether or not it is clear to you, no doubt the universe is unfolding as it should. “Therefore be at peace with God, whatever you conceive Him to be, “And whatever your labours and aspirations, in the noisy confusion of life keep peace with your soul. “With all its sham, drudgery and broken dreams, it is still a beautiful world. Be careful. Strive to be happy.” Simple words. Simply words. Words have the most amazing power. They can hurt. They can divide. They can heal. Life-altering words can last forever — whether spoken in love or in hate. I wonder what King would have to say today. dale@kamloopsthisweek.com
They happen often. A phone rings, the voice on the other end claims a bomb will explode, the building is evacuated and police officers and others search, almost always in vain, for explosives. Schools tend to be targeted, usually as summer nears. Courtrooms are at times chosen, as are other highly visible locations. To those who decide to engage in what they may consider a prank, such actions may seem little more than harmless fun. To the police officers who must don protective equipment and conduct a search, and for the people forced outside for hours on end, such mischief is anything but a prank. This week’s bomb threat at the Ramada Inn is a case in point. Someone called from within the building to say a bomb had been planted. In addition, three notes were found, apparently threatening the same. It was more than five hours between the beginning of the drama and the all-clear — no, bombs had not be found but, yes, an enormous amount of time and money had been wasted. We suggest that when those responsible for pulling this stunt are caught and convicted, the punishment address the time and money and stress involved. We suggest those found guilty be forced to repay the RCMP for every cent it spent on the operation (including bringing a dog team in from Kelowna). We suggest those found guilty be forced to reimburse the Ramada Inn every cent of lost revenue during those five-and-a-half hours. We suggest those found guilty be forced to apologize in person to every person affected — from hotel staff and Mounties to every hotel guest registered that day. Only when such thoughtless actions are connected to real justice (not vague community service or conditional sentences that do little to deter) might we see these acts and others curtailed.

‘Zero harm’ means relocating mine
Speak up You can comment on any story you read @ kamloopsthisweek.com
A selection of comments on KTW stories, culled online
Re: Story: Recordsetting summer in Sun Peaks: “We love the Peaks! “Visited and fell in love with the resort and the whole area, so we bought the most spectacular place we could there this summer. “It’s great to see all the activities this summer. “Burton Cummings was great and Colin James is sure to be awesome this weekend!” — posted by Best Sun Peaks Vacations
Editor: Re: The Aug. 22 letter from Yves Lacasse, external-affairs manager for KGHM Ajax (‘Zero harm a core value of KGHM Ajax’): We are told by Lacasse that “zero harm” is the core value of KGHM Ajax, but will this value be translated into reality? Can the citizens of Kamloops expect “zero harm” from air, water, noise and environmental pollution if Ajax is allowed to go ahead with its present plans? Would those who are for Ajax want to take medication from makers who only promised core values and studies?
Although Yves Lacasse, external-affairs manager of KGHM Ajax, wrote a letter to KTW, outlining the company’s “zero-harm” policy, KTW letter writers Johanna Walters and Mary Kay Claydon are not quite convinced. KTW file photo

Re: Story: Black Press blogger Lori Welbourne goes Topless in Kelowna: “Neither men nor women should be topless in a restaurant. “There is a time and place for appropriate attire and, over time, these even change according to customs and etiquette of society today.” — posted by Ron Ganzcar
Re: Story: Telus construction crew shell-shocked: “Telus will take our money and build it and they will come. “But, will they hire a veteran on a security site? “We will remember them.” — posted by Burt Densmore
Editor: Re: The Aug. 22 letter from Yves Lacasse, external-affairs manager for KGHM Ajax (‘Zero harm a core value of KGHM Ajax’): Lacasse’s letter states “KGHM is working to design a mining operation that causes no harm to city residents.” How is zero harm attainable in any case, let alone when an operation of this magnitude is so close to 90,000 people, on a hillside that already has stability issues? With the dust that will settle in our valley (park 1.5 kilometres from Highland Valley Copper for an hour and use your senses), KGHM will affect every breath we take — some residents profoundly more than others. If the proximity of the proposed open-pit mine decreases property values for the nearest residents, the operation will affect residents financially. KGHM identifies 1,688-cubic metres of water (or 1.68-million

I think not. Wouldn’t results of studies be needed before making a decision? As advertised, Ajax will host community-information sessions, with the note that results of its studies will not be provided. Excuse me? Why not? Seems to me these meetings might better be called “community brainwashing sessions.” If “zero harm” is truly intended by Ajax, then the current proposed mine site would be moved to where it would not impact our fair city.

litres of water) per hour as a design requirement of the project and gives Kamloops Lake as the source. Salmon fishing is already shut down for the season due to high water temperatures (there could be up to 70 per cent mortality). With the effects of climate change, how can extracting such large volumes of water 24 hours a day, seven days a week, for 23 years have no increased effect? If operation of the proposed open-pit mine affects livability (our city would be bordered by rock piles, tailings piles and a pit, not grasslands, lakes and natural ecology), the mining operation will harm residents. The tailings pile, rock piles and the pit, each measured in kilometres, would be with us forever. Can you find a closed mining operation that isn’t fenced off and off limits? The operation will limit our city’s ability to continue to develop the southwest sector. Consider current costs to tax-
payers for cleanup of other mines in Canada: • Giant Mine (Yellowknife): Cost estimated to be approaching $1 billion — and this is not a permanent fix. • Faro Mine (Yukon): Cost estimated to be more than $590 million. • Jericho Mine (Nunavut): Opened in 2006 and is now in the care of the federal government’s contaminated sites program. The company left the site and failed to return to clean it up, even when ordered to do so by a federal inspector. I can’t imagine what the cost of cleanup of Ajax would be in 23 years — or sooner if copper prices and world markets make this very low-grade oremining operation unprofitable for KGHM. Zero harm? If you believe that, I’ve got a bridge to sell you. Mary Kay Claydon Kamloops
Kudos to those who beautify Editor: As a volunteer host at the BC Senior Games in Kamloops, I would like to congratulate all the city gardeners who have created impeccable gardens/parks throughout our beautiful city for Kamloopsians and visitors to enjoy. I would like to recognize Julie, a special member of the gardening crew, who starts her job at 3 a.m. in her watering truck, stopping 100 times to water the awesome hanging baskets and picturesque planters throughout the city. How proud we are of our beautiful city and many thanks to all the city crews for their dedication and love of gardening, which have created such a stunning picture. Rachel Long Kamloops
Where has justice gone? Editor: Re: The Aug. 20 story about Stephen Roe, who stabbed to death David Holditch, possibly getting full parole (‘Killer to learn if day parole becomes full parole’): Give him full parole?

Orientation for international students at Thompson Rivers University has been “a pleasant surprise,” with little indication job action in 15 embassies has had a significant impact. Adrian Conradi, associate director for international services and study abroad at TRU, said the strike by
study body will be about 1,700, Conradi said. Most have had their paperwork in order or have seen their applications sent from affected embassies to others for processing. Students coming from oversees to take just one semester don’t require visas. Conradi said TRU brass is advising students coming to Kamloops for the first time to arrive early for orientation,
which runs through the end of the week. Otherwise, he said, if they arrive and have to start classes immediately, as well as find housing and adjust to a new community, it can be overwhelming. The university is making accommodation for those still waiting for visas, extending the start date for them to Sept. 17, the last day a student can add or drop a class.

Will the brake be applied? B.C. cities will next month debate proposals to cut the default speed limit on municipal streets to 40 kilometres per hour and to force licensing and regulation on users of motorized wheelchairs and scooters. The two proposals are among transportationrelated resolutions that will be on the floor at the Union of B.C. Municipalities convention in Vancouver in late September. The City of Victoria is behind the proposed cut in default speed limits from the current 50 km/h — if the lower 40 km/h default limit is adopted by the province, municipalities could still selectively designate specific roads for higher speeds. The resolution asks for provincial aid installing new signage, including signs for roads where the speed limit would be different from the default 40 km/h. Ian Tootill of the motorist advocacy group SENSE BC predicts drivers wouldn’t obey a 40 km/h limit and said there’s little evidence of low-speed fatalities or injuries that could be prevented with an even lower limit. “The people who are driving this agenda are the people who underneath it all are anti-car,” Tootill said. “A lot of these people don’t even drive.” He said another example of bureaucratic overkill is the “laughable “ proposal to regulate motorized wheelchairs and small mobility scooters. Sidney council argues seniors drive them too fast on sidewalks without any regulation. Their resolution to UBCM urges the province to regulate the use of motorized mobility aids, including wheelchairs and scooters, and require training, testing and licensing of operators. There’s currently no registration, insurance or licence required to operate them in B.C.

DILEMMA IS, BY its very nature, a choice between evils — and that is what now faces other countries over the use of poison gas in Syria. All the options may be on the table, but none of them are good. Nobody denies poison gas was used in rebel-held parts of Damascus on Aug. 21 — not even the Syrian government. Medecins Sans Frontieres says 3,600 patients with symptoms of poisoning were treated at three hospitals it supports in Damascus after the attack, and at least 355 of them died. The real number may be as high as 1,000 dead. That’s a whole week’s average death toll in the Syrian civil war in just one day. After that, however, we run out of facts. The rebels claim the Baathist regime was responsible, while the Syrian government says the rebels did it themselves in the hope of triggering foreign military intervention. Sending United Nations inspectors will not settle that argument. If nerve gas was actually used, it must have come from government stocks, but that doesn’t mean that the

Kamloops man charged after wild ride After high-speed police chases between three South Okanagan communities on Thursday, Aug. 22, a 21-year-old man was finally nabbed while gassing up at an Oliver convenience store. The driver, who was in a 2001 Ford Explorer, first caught Mounties’ attention at about 11 p.m. while speeding on Highway 97 just south of Summerland, according to the RCMP. An officer from Summerland briefly gave chase, but broke off the pursuit due to excessive speed. The officer alerted colleagues to the south, who also tried to catch up with the man in Penticton on the Channel Parkway, but they too gave up because of concern for public safety. Later, a Mountie

clocked the suspect vehicle travelling 140 km/h in an 80 km/h zone on Highway 97 near Oliver. A police cruiser was also damaged during an attempt to stop the Explorer. Officers from three RCMP detachments regrouped and focused their efforts in Oliver. “It was a keen sense of observation and good instinct that paid off when
plainclothes Penticton officers observed a nervous male filling up a gas can at the Oliver 7-Eleven gas station,” said Sgt. Ken Harrington, the RCMP area commander. “Acting on the odds of probability and police intuition, investigators covertly observed and followed the male, who walked
away from the pumps and led them back to the suspect vehicle.” The driver was expected to appear in Penticton provincial court to face charges related to the chase. Mounties said the man, who lived most recently in Kamloops, also has eight outstanding warrants for his arrest in Manitoba.

HE JUST CAME BACK TO ROCK SUN PEAKS
HALL-OF-FAME ROCKER COLIN JAMES HEADLINES FREE WEEKEND OF MUSIC By Marty Hastings STAFF REPORTER sports@kamloopsthisweek.com
T
HE BURTON CUMMINGS CONCERT EARLIER this summer proved Sun Peaks Resort can host a damn good show. Now, it’s up to Colin James to raise the bar. “I’m still really loving playing,” said James, who turned 49 on Aug. 17. “We’ve had some great shows this summer. We played with Johnny Winter. “When I see someone who’s got 20-something years on me who’s still playing, I think, ‘Man, I’m not stopping now.’” James is slated to take the main stage at 5 p.m. on Saturday, Aug. 31. It doesn’t cost a dime to get in, unless you want to pay for the prime-time seats. The Regina product — celebrating 25 years since his first album was released — has played his fair share of gigs in the elements. “I’ve been in a few outdoor shows where weather has killed it and caused a million dollars of damage as soon as it rained,” James told KTW. W “I’ve seen a lot of gear go down at the last minute. ‘Oh, it’s not going ing to rain’ and then — Bam!— and no one’s ready for it. “The beautiful side, like at the PNE [Pacific National Exhibition in Vancouver] the other night, is it was just a beautiful night . . . mountainss in the background, roller coasters spinning around and flawless temperature, soo it can really bring out the best in people at a beautiful outdoor show, includingg us.” The temperature on Saturday will likely be about 19 C and there iss no rain in the forecast. Mountains and a quaint village will provide the scenery. y. As for roller coasters, there will be none — unless the ride James iss planning for concertgoers is taken into consideration. “We do everything from the Just Came Backs of this world to stufff off Limelight and stuff off Traveler,” James said of the setlist. “I try and play something off every single record if I can.” James was inducted into the Canadian Music Industry Hall of Fame me in Toronto on March 21 and he recently released Twenty Five Live, which coincides des with the 25th anniversary of his self-titled debut record. They might seem like the milestones of a musician in the twilight of his career, but James said that is not the case. Yes, the Canadian music icon has glanced quickly at the rearview mirror in 2013, but his gaze is fixed mostly on what lies ahead. “You’re always so busy trying to come up with something new,” hee said. “This year, there’s been some time to reflect, mostly because I was inducted into the music industry hall of fame, and it was nice. “But, mostly, you live in the here and now.” The 5,000-or-so person crowd at the Cummings show was understandably andably aging as Burton is 67. Since he stopped playing clubs about five or six years ago, James has noticed a younger demographic rocking out at his concerts. “You’ve got these people who are your age and they listen to you when they’re in their 20s, then they go off and have kids and have families. Their kids can’t go see you. Now, I have these 20-year-olds that come out and see me now and go, ‘Oh my God, I was raised on your music and it’s so amazing to see you. I couldn’t see you when I was younger because I was underage. “I have these nice meetings with people who feel like they know ow you because you’ve been a part of the family. It can be really awesome.” The six-time Juno Award winner is proud that his new music — including songs like Oh Well, a Fleetwood Mac cover off of Fifteen, released in 2012 — is striking a chord with fans. “It’s always a pleasure when you get new songs that become mainstays in your set,” he said. “Every time you make a record, some songs stick, some songs don’t.” James said the band — which includes a new piano and organ player, Jesse O’Brien — is coming up on Friday. Aug. 30, to “make a weekend out of it.” James has no significant ties to Kamloops or Sun Peaks, although, when he used to fish, he would take his belly boat to the he Interior and angle for trout. His grandparents owned a confectionery in Hope, which he would often visit growing up, but that’s as close to the Tournament nt Capital as James’ ties get. Perhaps he can make a new connection this weekend. “Some of my best memories are of outdoor shows,” James said. id. “You don’t have that shut-down feeling. It’s all open.”

Sherran Anne Penner 74 years old passed away peacefully at home on August 23rd, 2013 after a long hard battle with heart disease. Lovingly remembered by her children, Craig (Ramona) Penner, ShariAnne (Duncan) Kerr and Verne (Tracy) Penner. Sherran is also survived by her sister Violet Yanush, brother Conrad Felker and “Sis” and best friend Shirley Minifie, as well as ten grandchildren, ten great grandchildren, five nieces and one nephew. A private family service will be held in Fort Langley, B.C. on Sept. 6th, 2013. Cremation arrangements entrusted to Schoening Cremation Centre, 250-554-2429
Gordon was born in Cardston, Alberta and married Ann at the young age of 19. They moved to Lethbridge, Calgary, then finally made Kamloops their home in the late 60’s. Gordon was a true “family man” and loved and nurtured his children. He worked as a motor electrician and took pride in his work. He was the type of person that could fix everything. You could ask him anything, and he would readily help you. He had a wealth of knowledge that he shared with his children and grandchildren. Gordon was a true gentleman by his very nature. He was caring, supportive and conscientious in everything he did. Gordon and Ann enjoyed life and were snowbirds for many years and loved to travel to Arizona in their RV and had many stories to share. Another important pass time was camping with family where the coffee was always waiting for you in their RV. Dad, or Papa as he was known by, would always be the first up and out walking their Pomeranian, Deogie. Dad kept busy at home with gardening and he took pride in the upkeep of his vehicles. He had the shiniest truck on the block! However, woodworking was his passion with his projects filling all the families’ homes. All you had to do was ask, and he would build it. His wood shop was always open where he would lend a hand. He was a great teacher. Gordon also had a good sense of humour that would show up at the most interesting times. He will be dearly missed. We wish to give special thanks to Dr. Paul Farrel for his excellent care and understanding and the kindness of the paramedics. In accordance with Gordon’s wishes, a private family celebration will occur following cremation. Schoenings Funeral Service 250-374-1454 www.schoeningfuneralservice.com

Today we blow kisses toward heaven, As we’ve done so many times, But today I see you as you should be. Eight years has passed and still it’s there within me.
Celebration of Life Reception It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Gordon Keefer Honey on Wednesday, June 19, 2013 at the age of 69, with loved ones at his side in Kamloops after a battle with cancer.
Every moment of four short months Only a second in time, but enough to last my lifetime. Your hand in mine, your breath ever so soft. You’re perfect as you are.
Gordon is survived by his loving wife Debbie, sons Rod and Tyler (Amanda), grandchildren Jack, Henry and Abbey, his two sisters Karen (Clayton) and Gail and many extended family members and friends.
The time is quickly passing, Though still I can’t forget. For in the heart that loved her The memory lingers yet.
I remember how your little hands always felt, as I held you closer to me trying to protect you, to keep you with me. So fragile as I held you trying desperately to be strong, to have hope.
At his request, there will not be a funeral, but a Celebration of Life “cocktail party” Saturday, August 31 from 2 to 4 pm at the Colombo Hall, 814 Lorne Street, Kamloops (lower level) with a tribute and open mic beginning at 2:30. Casual attire is most appropriate – wear your favourite fishing shirt, as Gordon didn’t like suits and ties!
I hope you found your heaven and your God.
My little one you were greatness and you still are. Four months to last a lifetime. Every touch, every smell, every sound. You were a life so strong, so full. A face imprinted on my very heart.
Sadly missed by Harry
Our angel, our Kyle, we love you and miss you every day.
“You lit up my life”
Daddy, Mama and Jordie
One night a man had a dream, He dreamed he was walking along the beach with the Lord. Across the sky flashed scenes from his life. For each scene, he noticed two set of footprints in the sand: one belonging to him, and the other to the Lord. When the last scene of his life flashed before him, he looked back at the footprints in the sand. He noticed that many times along the path of his life there was only one set of footprints. He also noticed that it happened at the very lowest and saddest times in his life. This really bothered him and he questioned the Lord about it. “Lord, you said that once I decided to followed you, you’d walk with me all the way. But I have noticed that during the most troublesome times of life, there is only one set of footprints. I don’t understand why, when I needed you most, you would leave me.” The Lord replied, “My precious, precious child, I love you and I would never leave you. During your times of trial and suffering, when you saw only one set of footprints, it was then that I carried you.” Margaret Fishback Powers
I’M GLAD I TOUCHED SHOULDERS WITH YOU
There’s a comforting thought at the close of the day When I’m weary and lonely and sad That sort of grips hold of this crusty old heart And bids it be merry and glad. It gets in my soul, and it drives out the blues, And finally thrills through and through. It’s just a sweet memory that chants the refrain, “I’m glad I touched shoulders with you.” Did you know you were brave, Did you know you were strong, Did you know there was one leaning hard, Did you know that I listened and waited and prayed And was cheered by your simplest word? Did you know that I longed for that smile on your face, For the sound of your voice ringing true, Did you know I grew stronger and better because I had merely touched shoulders with you? I am glad that I live; that I battle and strive For a place that I know I must fill; I’m thankful for sorrows I’ll meet with a grin What fortune may send good or ill; I may not have wealth, I may not be great but I know I shall always be true, For I have in my life that courage you gave, When once I touched shoulders with you.

BC Seniors Games golfer dies after collapsing at Sun Rivers By Marty Hastings STAFF REPORTER sports@kamloopsthisweek.com
V
IGILANT work undertaken by a group of people trying to save a woman’s life at Sun Rivers Golf Resort in Kamloops was ultimately done in vain. A Vancouver Island woman golfing in the 70- to 74-year-old division at the BC Seniors Games collapsed on the 16th tee on Thursday, Aug. 22. “We got a phone call saying, ‘Send out the first-aid attendant,’ who we had on as a
volunteer as part of the Games, sitting right outside the pro-shop door,” said Michael Chmilar, head pro at Sun Rivers. “They went out. We got a phone call minutes later saying, ‘Call an ambulance. The person has stopped breathing.’” Chmilar and another staff member rushed out to the 16th hole with an automated external defibrillator (AED). When they arrived, they found the first-aid attendant and another golfer performing CPR.
“I subbed in just to give the one person a break for a little bit,” said Chmilar, who has first-aid training. “Then my assistant ran back to the road to guide the ambulance down the cart path. “We had the AED on the lady and it said ‘No shock required,’ so we kept on doing CPR. “I can’t believe how quick the ambulance showed up. Were they just waiting for this call a block down the street? They were out there so quick.” The ambulance crew took over.
Chmilar said the woman received CPR on the course for about 30 minutes. One of the ambulance crew members told Chmilar before heading to Royal Inland Hospital there was not much more that could be done. “I may have jumped to a conclusion, like ‘Well, that’s probably it. She’s done.’ “I think all of us were led to believe that,” Chmilar said. “An hour and a half later, someone from the ambulance crew came back and said that she was alive.
“They had put a pacemaker in her, but they didn’t know what the status would be because things could change instantly.” The Games volunteer staff, first-aid attendant and the Sun Rivers employees who helped went to bed Thursday night believing they might have played a part in saving a woman’s life. “On Friday, we were told she was no longer with us,” Chmilar said. “From my understanding, the lady that passed away, her daughter or daughters
were actually in town and they were looking for the other lady that performed CPR, just to say thank you for putting the effort in that you did because it basically gave her one more day.” Sun Rivers ensures its supervisors and managers have first-aid training, Chmilar said. Kamloops Games president Charlie Bruce was asked about the situation on Monday, Aug. 26. “We had an incident that was dealt with very professionally and very expediently by our medical staff,”
Bruce said. “She had a heart issue.” The reality is the chances of incidents like this occurring rise during an event like the Seniors Games. “I don’t want to sound derogatory, but we had five, six, seven people that were 80-plus years of age out there golfing,” Chmilar said. “It’s not like it’s a bunch of young bucks running around out there. “The feedback that I have got is that we were very quick to respond.”

Blazer forward returns after brain injury By Marty Hastings STAFF REPORTER sports@kamloopsthisweek.com
Aspen Sterzer has a motor that seems forever locked into overdrive when he’s on the ice, but he was put in park last season with a career-threatening concussion. “With the concussion and stuff, it got to a point where it had been so long that I was just like, ‘I don’t know whether or not I’m going to be able to play again,’” said Sterzer, a Kamloops Blazers’ forward. “In the second game after Christmas against Vancouver [Dec. 29], I took a high hit to the head and I got that concussion and I couldn’t recover. It took forever. “Four or five months passed and then I finally got cleared to start training again.” The Canal Flats product experienced dizziness, blurred vision and balance problems when he tried to work out and there was little improvement in the first few months of recovery. Sterzer slowly began to get better and eventually became symptomfree. He was cleared by
doctors and will play this season with the Blazers. The centreman returns to the team with an entirely different role than in years past. There is room to establish himself as a top-six guy, with the Blue and Orange having lost a slew of talented forwards to graduation and professional hockey. “There was that possibility [that Sterzer would not be back],” Blazers’ general manager Craig Bonner said. “Now, he’s going to play in some roles he never played in before, with us losing the centre-icemen that we did. “I have high expectations for him this year.” The 19-year-old speedster — once referred to as the Tasmanian Devil by Blazer trainer Colin (Toledo) Robinson — said it was tough to sit back and watch
his teammates make a run at the Western Conference championship this spring — “I’d just watch the games and hear about them knowing I wasn’t there for the boys.” Concussions are among the hottest of topics in sports and Sterzer will be under the microscope anytime he’s on the receiving end of a bodycheck. If No. 11 can stay
healthy, he could be in line to have a breakout season. He’s been waiting his entire WHL career to get minutes alongside his team’s best players. “We had such a deep team and I was on a lower line,” Sterzer said. “Now, there’s so much opportunity with such a young team this year. “I feel awesome. I’m so happy to be back.”

Angels and their Big Fish: Stinky year
W
HEN the biggest fish in baseball’s free-agent pool took his bat and glove to the Los Angeles Angels last winter, the sport’s cognoscenti prematurely handed manager Mike Scioscia’s team a playoff spot in the American League and made them a preseason favourite to win the World Series. That big fish, Josh Hamilton, left the Texas Rangers for the riches of the Angels, who already had a whole school of big fish under contract, including Mike Trout, the breakout star of 2012, and Albert Pujols, arguably the game’s best hitter, who joined the team as a free agent the season before. But little did those baseball experts know what sort of a mess would occur in the Angels’ camp in 2013 and now, with the season winding down, Los Angeles is no longer considered an elite team, Scioscia is probably expecting a quick firing at season’s end, Pujols is finished for the season with a foot
BRUCE PENTON From PRESS ROW injury and the experts are red-faced — again. (These are the same experts who predicted the last-place Toronto Blue Jays, with all their fancy pre-season acquisitions, would win the A.L. East.) Hamilton, after a slow start, held up his end of the bargain by hitting with some authority in mid-season and partially justifying the megamillions paid to him by owner Artie Moreno, who must, by now, be realizing that good scouting and team chemistry — not just a blank chequebook — are the key ingredients needed to form a championship team. Texas, which lost Hamilton but didn’t miss a beat, will be a playoff team and the team they’re battling

down the stretch in the A.L. West, Oakland A’s, will also qualify for the post-season. In the Central Division, Detroit pitchers Max Scherzer and Justin Verlander, and big boppers Miguel Cabrera and Prince Fielder, are the driving forces behind the Tigers’ likely Central Division title and in the A.L. East, Boston Red Sox and Tampa Bay Rays are set to battle down the stretch for the pennant there. If the Red Sox earn the division title, watch for other MLB teams to making ‘trades’ for managers, as the Red Sox did last winter to pry John Farrell away from the Blue Jays for a minor leaguer. So, how does October look? This early September prognostication says the Tigers vs. Los Angeles Dodgers in the World Series.

Ex-Blazer dies in jet-ski accident By Wade Paterson BLACK PRESS wpaterson@kelownacapnews.com
Former Kamloops Blazers’ forward Pat Mangold died in Kelowna on Saturday, Aug. 24, after crashing his jet ski into a log boom on Okanagan Lake. The accident happened at about 8:30 p.m. A nearby boater heard the impact and was able to get
PAT MANGOLD
Mangold, 47, aboard his vessel. As a result, he was
quickly transported to the shore and then taken to hospital by ambulance; however, he was not able to be resuscitated. The BC Coroners Service and RCMP continue to investigate the incident. According to Const. Kris Clark, visibility and speed were likely factors in the crash. Mangold began his WHL career with the
Calgary Wranglers in 1981. He played with the Salmon Arm Shuswap Totems in the B.C. Junior Hockey League then returned to the Wranglers before coming to Kamloops. Mangold racked up nine goals and 20 points with the Blazers in the 1984-1985 regular season, along with six goals and eight points in 15 playoff games.

Dylan Armstrong claimed bronze in shot put at a Diamond League event in Zurich, Switzerland, on Wednesday, Aug. 28. The Kamloops product threw 21.13 metres. Ryan Whiting of the U.S. won with a 22.03-metre toss and David Storl of Germany was second, throwing 21.19 metres. The meet was the second last on the Diamond League circuit, a series of events sanctioned by the International Association of Athletics Federations. Armstrong will compete in the last event of the series in Brussels on Sept. 6. After the season is over, Armstrong said he will, “take a little time off and catch up with the business side of things, then get back to the grind.”

“Have you ever whitewater rafted before?” Doug Trotter asks. A little. In Alberta. About a decade ago. Trotter, owner of Interior Whitewater Expeditions and a 30-year veteran of the whitewaters of the Clearwater River, doesn’t seem worried about comparisons with the province next door. “Now you’re in for the real thing,” he says. His words will come back to me about 40 minutes into my own eight-hour rafting adventure, when the van carrying my eight rafting mates grinds to a stop en route to our launch point in Wells Gray Provincial Park and our guide suggests we take a quick hop outside. Far below us, the river is frothy with whitewater, interrupted only by a pointy upthrust rock that cuts the rapid in two.

Kamloops This Week jumps into the Clearwater River with Interior Whitewater Expeditions
Interior Whitewater refers to the stretch as Sabretooth Canyon. It’s among the largest rapids available to run on a commercial tour. Back in the van, a trio of friends from Highland Valley Copper compares notes. “I’m scared,” one of the men in the group mutters. He doesn’t sound like he’s joking. When Trotter and his wife Jane started their whitewater-rafting business in a booth by the highway on the edge of Wells Gray, the plan was to fund their own passion for kayaking. “We were looking for a way to make a bit of money and maybe go on some exotic kayaking holidays,” Trotter says. Several decades later, Interior Whitewater has moved into town and the company is celebrating an award from Tourism Canada for one of its longest offerings: A five-day rafting, canoeing and camping trip. While KTW’s trip on the water isn’t quite so

intense, Trotter says the company tries to make sure even its shorter three-hour tour crams in as many experiences as possible. “It’s not one of those trips where you just get in a boat and cruise down the river,” he says. Each trip includes at least one hike and the day trip gets in a portage, plus optional cliff diving and rapids swimming to go along with the paddling. The goal is to take advantage of areas of the park that aren’t so easily accessible from the road, Trotter says. But, the real star of the day is always the river. While it’s a relatively short river, Trotter calls the Clearwater “the last big-volume, free-flowing river in this province,” with the feel of a waterway that’s travelled through the mountains for hundreds of kilometres. “It’s pretty unique,” he says. “You should expect a completely different raft trip.” X See CLEARWATER B3

On the Clearwater,‘if’ means ‘when’ X From B1
For most of the morning, Sabretooth Canyon looms over the tour. Anticipation builds as we squirm into wetsuits, go through our safety talk — our guide, Adrian, reminds us to just stay calm if we go over the side of the raft, in a way that makes “if” seem more like “when” — and paddle our first stretch of river. However, before the rapids comes a fitnesstesting hike, followed by a quick jaunt behind, and then straight through, a waterfall. Getting wet, at least, is off the list of worries for the day. As we approach Sabretooth, Adrian fills us in on the various ways we could fail to make it through the rapids. This late in the year, when water levels in the Clearwater have dropped after the spring runoff, the rapids are less forgiving. If we hit them sideways,
or off-centre, we could tip. While our raft is accompanied by a whitewater kayaker, just in case an overboard rafter needs help, and we’ve been drilled on catching ropelines and hauling each other into the craft, it’s safe to say this does nothing to ramp down the adrenaline. Ahead of us, the river dips down slightly as the rapids begin. A few minutes later, Adrian is yelling “paddle!” as if lives depend on it, and the first wave of water is slapping over the boat. There is some screaming, more whooping and a dash of laughter. We clear the rapids with no trouble at all. After that, there’s only one thing to do — seek out more whitewater. Luckily, there are more than five hours left in the day and plenty more rapids on the river. To learn more about Interior Whitewater Expeditions, go online to interiorwhitewater.com.
healthy landscapes, healthy living
proper lawn care Have a lawn you can feel good about. Here are three lawn care tips that will save time, money and water:
1. Mow High Leaving grass 5 – 7.5 cm (2-3”) tall, shades the roots and helps prevent evaporation. Grass grows deeper and stronger roots that can overpower weeds. Avoid cutting off more than 1/3 of the grass height.
2. Grasscycle Leave grass clippings on the lawn when mowing. Eliminate bagging and raking and reduce watering and fertilizing. 3. Water Properly Water deeply, but infrequently. This means watering 1 - 2 days per week, but when you do, give your grass about 2.5 cm (1") of water. As with mowing high, this also produces deeper stronger roots and helps the grass withstand dry periods. Other practices that will encourage a healthy lawn: Dethatching – Aerating – Topdressing – Overseeding - Fertilizing Try corn gluten meal to manage weeds. It is an organic fertilizer that prevents the germination of seeds, however, it does not control existing weeds.

On Monday, Sept. 9, Riverside Park will host Recovery Day, followed by World Suicide Prevention Day on Wednesday, Sept. 11. Both events will feature a family-friendly mix of free food, live entertainment and activities, but the focus is on getting the community talking about suicide and addiction, said Jolene Lindsey and Heather Cook, who are representing the Interior Health Authority at the events. Recovery Day got its start in Vancouver last year and is spreading further afield in its second year. “Recovery Day is about safety, it’s about celebration,” Cook said.

“It’s also about not being anonymous any more. about feeling safe enough to be out there and say, ‘This is where I am in my recovery.’” World Suicide Prevention Day will also offer members of the community impacted by suicide a chance to honour those they’ve lost by making and flying kites or attaching a memorial ribbon to the event’s master kite. Lindsey said there are about 11 suicide deaths in Kamloops each year, a number that doesn’t reflect much higher rates of self-harm in the community. “The response from the community has been incredible,” Lindsey said. “The more we talk about this, the more people are coming out of the shadows.” Recovery Day starts at 2 p.m. World Suicide Prevention Day begins at noon with a barbecue.

MORTGAGE MATTERS
KAMLOOPS FILM SOCIETY FALL FILM SERIES
UNIQUE MORTGAGE PRODUCTS THAT FIT YOU AND YOUR LIFESTYLE In today’s competitive lending environment, banks are fighting for your business. The result? Many lending institutions are lowering interest rates like never before and are creating specialized niche products. Here are a few examples:
Their romance continues Movies to be screened at the Paramount downtown The story of Jesse and Celine kicks off the 41st annual fall film series of the Kamloops Film Society. Before Midnight follows the two characters introduced by director Richard Linklater in the 1995 movie Before Sunrise. He revisited their lives’ stories in Before Sunset in 2004 and, with this third film, returns to the couple two decades after their first meeting as they reunite in Greece. It again stars Ethan Hawke and Julie Delpy. It will be screened at the series’ venue, Paramount Theatre, 503 Victoria St., on Thursday, Sept. 12. The next film, on Thursday, Sept. 26, is the documentary Good Ol’ Freda, the story of Freda Kelly, a teenager who went to work for a local band — The Beatles — and stayed
with them for 11 years. It is directed by Ryan White. On Thursday, Oct. 10, the society screens Frances Ha, directed by Noah Baumbach and starring his partner, Greta Gerwig. The comedy follows Gerwig’s character as she deals with her best friend moving across the country, possible unemployment, failure at love and her dream of becoming a dancer — even though she is not good at it. The Hunt, directed by Thomas Vinterberg, is next in the series, scheduled for Thursday, Oct. 24. The Danish drama stars Mads Middelsen as a highschool teacher whose life is shattered by a divorce and a lie. Museum Hours on Thursday, Nov. 7, stars Mary Margaret O’Hara as
B5
a woman who frequents the Kunsthistorisches Art Museum in Vienna, where she befriends the guard there. Together, they explore their city, the works in the museum and their own lives. The series concludes on Thursday, Nov. 21, with Wajda, directed by Haifaa Al-Mansoure. The drama tells the story of a 10-year-old girl living in Saudi Arabia and rebelling against her culture. She wants a bicycle, which her mother says is inappropriate for a girl and, to get it, she enters a competition to recite parts of the Koran. All films begin at 7 p.m. A society membership is required and available for $2 at the venue or at Moviemart, 444 St. Paul St. Tickets are $8 and available at both locations.
10 year mortgages – Looking for payment security over the long term? The 10 year mortgage is for people who find comfort in stable financial payments and want to limit their risk to potential high interest rates over the next decade. Flex down payment mortgages – Having trouble raising enough money for a down payment? The flex down mortgage offers buyers the chance to use borrowed money to buy a home. The bank expects the borrower to have good credit and good employment to qualify. This type of product may allow you to buy now and stop paying high rents. 5% cash back mortgages – Can’t afford that truck payment plus a mortgage? If you have a down payment, but can’t afford to use it for both bill reduction and buying a home, then the cash back mortgage is an option. You can use the 5% for anything you want – home renovations, pay off bills, add to savings. Purchase plus improvements – Can’t find anything in your price range you like? The purchase plus improvements mortgage allows you to increase your mortgage by up to 20% of your purchase price to renovate your home. This way, you can buy a less expensive home and renovate it the way you want – all included in your mortgage. This program does not cover pools and hot tubs, but roofs, walls, kitchens, bathrooms are fine. Purchase plus improvement mortgages are available at very competitive rates. Equity Mortgages – Has the bank said “no” because of your income, but you have strong equity in your home? There are lenders who will take into account the equity you have built up in your home and lend on that instead of income. 50% (50% ownership) and 65% (35% ownership) loan to value percentages are often acceptable to lenders. The lender will always ask for an appraisal and will expect the borrower to have excellent credit. Whether you are a first-time homebuyer, up for renewal or refinancing, there are many unique and competitive products available on the market today. For more information about qualifying for a mortgage or if you have questions about your specific situation, please call 250 682 6077 or e-mail steve.bucher@migroup.ca or check out my website at www.mortgagebuilder.ca

LABOUR DAY
Industry review looks to future Labour parties at Next month, the provincial government will begin a review of the Industry Training Authority (ITA). Shirley Bond, minister of jobs, tourism and skills training, as well as the minister responsible for labour, said the review is designed to ensure the ITA is helping British Columbians develop necessary skills to succeed in finding jobs. The review will be done by an independent leader, Bond said, who will look at the ITA mandate, functions and outcomes so far, how it works with partners including industry-training organizations, private-sector unions and public and private training providers, and make recommendations. A report is expected by November and from it will flow recommendations to improve: • Oversight and governance of the industry-training system. • Strategic leadership of the system. • Outcomes that will provide more skilled workers across B.C.

With an expected one-million new jobs being created in B.C. in the next decade — 43 per cent in trades or technical occupations — the government is reviewing the Industry Training Authority to ensure it is working with its partners, including educators like Thompson Rivers University, to provie the necessary training for people to be hired.
• The ITA’s overall servicedelivery model of the apprenticeship system in B.C. (from pre-apprenticeship through to certification). • Partnerships and engagement with educators, industry, private-sector unions, and
other affected parties. The ITA review will provide government with vital information that will help to ensure the province has a strategic, co-ordinated and responsive industrytraining system that is achiev-

The Kamloops and District Labour Council holds its annual Labour Day Picnic at Riverside Park on Monday, Sept. 2, from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. And, while the trade unionists and supporters who gather may have their eye firmly placed on current labour situations, the history of the day goes back to a fundamental labour issue — workers’ rights. On April 15, 1872, the Toronto Trades Assembly demonstrated to demand the release of two dozen leaders of the Toronto Typographical Union. The assembly had been created to help workers form unions and to provide mediation assistance in disputes between employers and employees. It also campaigned against the mistreatment of workers. The 24 typographers had been imprisoned for leading a strike campaigning for a nine-hour work day. Strikes were illegal at the time and the demonstration is considered the first Labour Day in Canada. A few months later, with the dispute lingering, a similar demonstration was organized in Ottawa at the house of Prime Minister Sir John A. Macdonald. Later that day, Macdonald met the group and promised to repeal all Canadian laws against trade unions. Originally, Labour Day was celebrated in the spring but, in 1984, it was moved to the fall.

Canadians more optimistic about finding, keeping jobs The Canadian workforce has grown increasingly optimistic about hiring intentions and job security over the last three years, according to the third annual BMO Labour Day Survey. The study, conducted by Pollara, found that more than half of Canadians (53 per cent) think the company they work for is growing and will be hiring more employees. This number repre-
sents a marked increase from 28 per cent in 2011. “This increasing optimism among Canadian workers is very encouraging and is an accurate reflection of what we’re hearing when speaking to our clients,” said Steve Murphy, senior vicepresident, BMO commercial banking. “With companies planning to invest in their employees and grow their workforce,
new doors will open for increased productivity and expansion into new markets.” The study also found the number of people who feel comfortable with their overall level of job security is up to 81 per cent this year from 51 per cent in 2011, an increase of 30 per cent. The national unemployment rate continues to gradually decline, dipping to 7.2 per cent in the latest month ver-
sus 7.3 per cent at this time last year. While the improvement is modest, the job market is much healthier than three-tofour years ago, when the rate temporarily moved above eight per
cent,” said Doug Porter, chief economist, BMO Financial Group. “And, while not much lower than the current U.S. rate of 7.4 per cent, other indicators suggest the Canadian job market
overall is in considerably stronger shape than its U.S. counterpart.” When it comes to expectations for the coming year, half (50 per cent) of workers expect to receive a promotion or a raise.
This is up 11 per cent from last year and 22 per cent from 2011. The Pollara survey was completed online between July 12 and July 16, with a sample of 1,005 Canadians 18 years of age and older.
“There are a lot of occupational health and safety issues in health care. So it’s good to know that I’m in a union that stands up for workers’ rights and protections. Because safe workplaces make health care better for patients and workers.”

LABOUR DAY
Even holidays have government rules
Happy Labour Day from the BC Government and Service Employees’ Union
When an employee is given a day off on a statutory holiday or it falls on a regular day off, an eligible employee is entitled to be paid an average day’s pay. An average day’s pay is calculated by dividing total wages earned in the 30 calendar days before the statutory holiday by the number of days worked. Vacation days taken during this period count as days worked. Total wages includes wages, commissions, statutory-holiday pay and vacation pay but does not include overtime pay. An eligible employee who works on a statutory holiday is entitled to be paid: • Time-and-a-half for the first 12 hours worked and double-time for any work over 12 hours; plus • An average day’s pay. An employer and a majority of employees can agree to substitute another day off for a statutory holiday. The act and regulation apply to the substitute day as if it were the statutory holiday.
KGHM International Ajax Project
cep467
There 10 statutory holidays in British Columbia: • New Year’s Day; • Family Day; • Good Friday; • Victoria Day; • Canada Day; • B.C. Day; • Labour Day; • Thanksgiving Day; • Remembrance Day; and • Christmas Day. Easter Sunday, Easter Monday and Boxing Day are not statutory holidays. To be eligible for statutory-holiday pay, an employee must have: • Been employed for 30 calendar days before the statutory holiday; and • Worked or earned wages on 15 of the 30 days before the statutory holiday. Employees who work under an averaging agreement or a variance at any time in the 30 days before the holiday do not have to meet the 15-day requirement. An employee who is not eligible for statutory holiday pay is not entitled to be paid an average day’s pay. If an ineligible employee works on a statutory holiday, he or she may be paid as if it were a regular work day. Specific regulations exclude certain groups such as managers, agriculture workers, some commission salespersons and high technology professionals from the statutory holiday provisions of the act.

Pan-seared halibut with corn butter sauce 3 large, sweet cobs of corn 2 shallots, peeled and quartered 1 sprig thyme Approx. 1 litre organic chicken stock 3 tbsp. butter, room temperature Flaked kosher salt/fresh ground pepper
Corn on cob, garden in grass
I
DO, AFTER ALL, HAVE generations of farming in my blood. So, equipped with a plastic sand bucket stuffed with a bundle of dollar-store garden tools (our entire budget of $12), plus a weary hand-me-down spade, Chefhusband and I stood upon the earth in the backyard of our first rental house And there we began to plan our first-ever corn patch. We imagined tall stalks with fat cobs and silky tassels and were certain we could coax them from the ground and into a tiny plot of glory! If all that wasn’t enough, we did also have experience. I had grown up Peter Rabbiting vegetables from various gardens. Additionally, Chefhusband had spent an entire high-school summer laying turf. What other qualities could
DARCIE HOSSACK
Bon APPÉTIT anyone possibly need? “Right there against the fence,” one or both of us said, while neither of us looked up to determine the designated plot’s relation to the sun, nor how far a reach it might be for the crackled old hose and sputtering sprinkler left behind by the landlord. “We can do a proper edge later,” we said a while later, sweating and panting, after the
first spadesful came up rather rough. “For now, let’s just get the grass up and get down to the good soil.” Naturally, the “good soil” didn’t exist. After a day of misery, we’d merely chipped down through a webbing of established grass roots and found our lovely earth was mostly sticky clay. Not only would our little garden require a thorough rototilling, or the application of an ox and plough, but also several seasons of turning in of mounds of compost and manure, until at last there would be enough nutrients for anything edible to grow well. These were goals we could neither afford nor hope to accomplish during a one-year lease. We never did try again. Instead, now and every year since, we have been grateful to live in a region where we can
simply shop at farm stands for corn that’s fresh from the stalk. Then we grill and slather it with compound butters. Or make soups and salsas. Or, as we’ve done this week, shear the corn off the cob and turn it into corn-butter sauce to serve over pan-seared halibut. Now, and every year since, the corn we buy tastes sweeter. Because every year, we remember that, instead of planting corn to harvest that long since summer, we dug back into our meagre grocery budget and replanted the grass.

With a sharp chef’s knife, shave corn off cobs. Place shallots, corn, cobs and thyme in a medium pot. Add chicken stock and set over high heat until stock is simmering. Reduce heat to continue simmering for 20 minutes. Meanwhile, ready fish (recipe below) for pan frying. After 20 minutes, reach into pot with tongs and discard cobs and thyme. Strain the corn and stock over a large bowl, reserving separately the corn and the stock. Begin to heat canola oil for frying fish. Place corn and shallots in a blender and add just enough of the hot stock to allow the blender to purée the corn until smooth. It helps to begin with less than one thinks, then add more as needed. *Reserve and refrigerate or freeze remaining stock for use in corn soup. Begin to cook fish, 4 fillets at a time, and while staying nearby, strain purée, stirring and pushing it through the mesh until as much liquid as possible is extracted. Discard mash. You should now be left with silky, frothy corn “foam.” Into this, stir in butter until melted and incorporated, then season to taste and serve over seared halibut. For the halibut: 8 skinless halibut fillets, 5-6oz each kosher salt/fresh ground pepper canola oil for frying Add 1/4-inch oil to a medium skillet set over high heat. Pat dry and season both sides of fish. Add to oil, bottom side down, then reduce heat to medium. Cook until flesh is golden and fish is cooked 3/4 of the way up. Do not turn over. Remove fillets to a paper towel-lined plate, seared side down, to drain before serving. There they will also “carry-over cook” the rest of the way. Serve seared side up, covered with corn butter.

RECYCLING
Recycle your mobile devices responsibly B.C. a recycling leader Canadians are embracing cellphones and smartphones like never before, buying new devices at record rates. And, while we all love to have the latest and greatest in technology, it is crucial old devices get recycled properly. Answering this call is an ongoing program that will make sure your old cellphone does not end up in a landfill or cluttering up your junk drawer. Recycle My Cell is a national program that lets users find out where and how to properly dispose of their cellphones and other wireless devices for free. The program, which incorporates numerous recycling initiatives across the country, is organized by the Canadian Wireless Telecommunications Association in conjunction with cellphone carriers, handset manufacturers and processors. The website — RecycleMyCell.ca — allows consumers to simply enter their postal code to find the drop-off locations closest to them where their devices will be accepted, regardless of brand or
condition. With thousands of drop-off locations across Canada, most neighbourhoods will have one but, if you are unable to visit a location in person, the website provides free, postage-paid labels for mailing in your devices. In addition, the site gives simple information to delete all of your personal information from the device before you recycle it, keeping not only the environment safe, but you, as well. Launched in 2009, Recycle My Cell has recovered almost 2.9-million cellphones. In addition to cellphones and smartphones, the program also accepts pagers, wireless air cards, cellphone batteries and accessories. All phones recovered are recycled in accordance with international e-waste laws, or refurbished appropriately.
B.C. is one province doing its part to make a positive impact on the environment. Through its recycling regulation, the province is at the forefront of the extended producer responsibility movement — an approach based on industry taking responsibility for establishing a recycling system for its products at end-of-life. It began in 1970 when British Columbia became the first jurisdiction in North America to establish a mandatory deposit-refund system for soft drink and beer containers. Today, there are 17 active industry-led product-stewardship programs in the province. From antifreeze and tires, to lamp and lighting equipment, many associations are dedicated to providing responsible recycling solutions for an expanding list of products.
newscanada.com
Special week focuses on reducing waste Waste Reduction Week offers British Columbians an opportunity to take action and make a positive impact on the environment. According to the Recycling Council of British Columbia (RCBC), Canadians generate approximately 31-million tonnes of garbage every year and only recycle about 30 per cent of that material. You can impact that number for the better. From Oct. 21 to Oct. 27, do your part by following these simple tips: • Use less paper: Just because paper grows on trees doesn’t mean we can take it for granted. Change the default settings on printers and photocopiers to ensure double-sided printing every time. When it’s time to dispose of paper, be sure to recycle it. Paper can take 80 years to break down in a landfill but, when recycled,
it helps create new, useful products. • Choose cloth: Forget the disposable and jump on the reusable train. Carry your own cloth bags to avoid having to accept plastic bags when shopping. Plastic bags take approximately 1,000 years to break down and can have harmful effects on ecosystems and wildlife. Plus, cloth bags are machinewashable, durable and more stylish. • Recycle small appliances: So, it’s time to get rid of that broken toaster, damaged hair straightener or power drill that has been sitting on the top shelf of your closet. ElectroRecycle is B.C.’s small-appliance and power-tool recycling program and it provides an environmentally friendly alternative for electrical products that would otherwise end up in
landfills. With drop-off locations throughout the province, it’s easy and convenient. A full list of accepted products and drop-off locations is available at electrorecycle.ca. • Buy quality products: Avoid having to purchase the same item over and over again. Look for items that are durable and stand the test of time. The initial cost may be higher, but it will be worth it in the long run. • Receive less mail: There is a lot you can do to limit what’s coming through your mail slot. Pay your bills online instead of receiving hard copies in the mail. Opt out of unaddressed admail with Canada Post’s Consumer Choice Program.

No Hybrid? Ways to still keep it green behind the wheel Just because you don’t have a hybrid doesn’t mean you can’t be conscientious about how your driving affects the planet. According to the experts at autotrader.ca, there are a few simple things you can do to be gentle on the environment, while still getting from A to B in your current vehicle. • No jackrabbit starts: Unless you’re a professional racecar driver, hammering down on the gas pedal from a standing start is something neither your engine nor your wallet will appreciate. Something as simple as keeping your vehicle tire pressure correct can help the environment.
Easing onto the gas requires less of it. Don’t spend what you don’t have to! • Keep the pressure on: Keeping your tires properly inflated (look for the indicated pressure levels on the sidewall) can save as much as 10 to 15 per cent in fuel costs, directly translating into better mileage and fuel costs. And, the less fuel you use, the more the planet will thank you. • Carpool when you can: Why use two cars when one will do? Planning ahead with others headed in the same direction eliminates the need for multiple vehicles and potentially avoids doubling up on parking fees, to boot. • The pace to be: Driving your
vehicle at or below the speed limit is a big factor when it comes to achieving mileage targets. Much like Tips #1 and #2, keeping an eye on your speed will help you save money and go green, not to mention the safety points you’ll score. • Idle not: If all you’re doing is standing and waiting, think of turning off the engine. Kamloops has a bylaw against allowing a vehicle to idle for more than three minutes and has started its own idle-reduction program in its fleet of vehicles. Shut it down, keep it clean, and Mother Nature will thank you in droves. newscanada.com
Survey says parkland essential for a healthy, truly green community Whether it is a place to meet, connect with the community or spend time with family and friends, Canadians truly see the significance of green spaces. A recent survey conducted by TD Friends of the Environment Foundation (TD FEF) revealed 87 per cent of Canadians believe a reduction of green spaces would be a detriment to their children and community. And, while Canadians and their families express a fondness for green spaces in their community, 68per cent of Canadians fear these spaces may be lost. “It’s evident that a loss of green space will impact our current and future generations and, at TD FEF, we continue to support thousands of grassroots environmental projects to help Canadians have a greener community,” said Mary Desjardins, TD FEF executive director. “And the great news is that the majority of Canadians [73 per cent] believe they have the ability to contribute to a greener community. “There are many ways that Canadians can
get involved in greening their communities including volunteering with local environmental groups, becoming a neighbourhood gardener or even organizing a group for a summer cleanup to help tidy up local parks, creeks and other areas.” More than 80 per cent of Canadians also stated that they want to see more funding go towards maintaining natural spaces — and, through TD FEF, Canadians can help support local environmental projects in their community, including environmental education or urban greening projects. “TD FEF has been funding environmental initiatives across Canada for over 20 years,” said Desjardins “and all donations made to TD FEF stay in the local community where donations are received, however, Canadians can also make a difference by simply planting native shrubs, plants or trees in their own backyard.” For more information about TD FEF and to see if a local greening project in your community might qualify for funding, go online to tdfef.com.
A recent survey determined Canadians enjoy green spaces like Kenna Cartwright Park in Kamloops — and that reducing them would be a detriment to the community and coming generations.

Celebrating the heroines of the Bible
T
HERE ARE women in the Bible who are great heroines, who saved the day and rescued their people from great catastrophe. Esther is probably the most famous, partly because an entire “book” of the Bible is devoted to her story. Esther was the beautiful young queen of the Persian King Ahasuerus She was an orphan, raised by her uncle Mordechai, a prominent Jew in the city of Susa. Mordechai was very devout and refused to bow down to Haman, the king’s prime minister, when he rode by, insisting that honour was due to God alone. Haman was furious and convinced the king to authorize the extermination of all the Jews in the empire and the plundering of their property. He cast lots (purim) that fixed the fateful day for the 30th day of the
CHRIS KEMPLING You Gotta Have FAITH month of Adar. Obviously, Mordechai was horrified and begged Esther to intervene with the king. Esther was very reluctant, mainly because it was a capital offence to approach the king without an express invitation. Nevertheless, Esther took the risk and informed the king of her Jewish ancestry and the plot against her people. While Ahasuerus couldn’t countermand the earlier edict, he authorized the Jews to arm themselves and carry out vengeance against those who had plotted their genocide.
Esther’s heroism is celebrated annually by the Jews in the feast of Purim. The story is highly dramatic and, if you have never read it, it is well worth it. Deborah and Jael are two other women distinguished for their roles in the salvation of their people from oppression. The Israelites “do evil in the sight of the Lord” and are delivered into the hands of the Canaanite king Jabin and his cruel general Sisera, for 20 years. The people cry out for deliverance and the prophetess Deborah, the effective ruler of the Israelites, directs her general Barak to call up an army to battle with Sisera. Barak assembles 10,000 foot soldiers on Mount Tabor in northern Israel, while Sisera counters with a large force, including more than 900 iron chariots and accompanying infantry. Sisera was undoubtedly confident, as the

land at the base of Mt. Tabor is quite suitable for chariot warfare. But, apparently, the Israelite charge was accompanied by a massive thunderstorm and flash flood that mired the chariots down, making them easy pickings for their opponents. “All the troops of Sisera fell by the sword; not a man was left . . . and Sisera abandoned his chariot and fled on foot.” An exhausted Sisera takes refuge in the tent of Heber the Kenite, allies of the Canaanites. His wife Jael, however, was likely an Israelite, given her Hebrew name, and her relatives may have suffered much at hands of Sisera. Jael gives him fermented milk to drink and, when he falls into an exhausted sleep, she pounds a tent peg into his temple. The heroism of Deborah and Jael is recorded in the fifth chapter of Judges in the Song
of Deborah. A more interesting story is recorded in the book of Judith, an apocryphal book found in Catholic versions of the Bible. Judith was a widow, living in the town of Bethulia, which commanded a mountain pass into Judea. The town was being besieged by the Assyrian army of Nebuchadnezzar, commanded by his general Holofernes. Bethulia was key to the defence of Judea and everyone fasted and prayed to God for deliverance. With water and food almost exhausted, the people beg Uzziah, Bethulia’s “mayor” to surrender the town, but Judith convinces him to let her take matters into her own hands. Now Judith is stunningly beautiful (I can imagine Angelina Jolie or Eva Green in the movie role). She bathes and per-

of his stupor to decapitate him with his own sword. She sticks the head into her maid’s bag and demurely walks out of the camp and back to Bethulia. Naturally, the Assyrian camp is thrown into disarray at the loss of its leader and, when the Israelites and their allies attack in force, they are thoroughly routed. Once again, Israel is saved by a woman. The Bible is full of great stories like this — and some of the most inspiring are those where women play a leading role.
fumes herself, dresses in her finest clothes and jewellery and boldly walks into the Assyrian camp with her maid. The guards are gobsmacked by her beauty and lead her directly to Holofernes’ tent. Holofernes is equally smitten and hopes to seduce her at a banquet in her honour. He gets extremely drunk, though, and passes out. Holofernes’ servants have discretely left the general’s tent, assuming he and Judith will be, ahem, amorously engaged. Judith takes advantage
