Bail seen as an injustice By Dale Bass STAFF REPORTER dale@kamloopsthisweek.com

A man whose life was changed forever during a confrontation with teens in Kamloops is disgruntled with the justice system after the 15-year-old charged with his assault was again set free after violating the conditions of his first release from custody. Mike Forry has moved back to Mackenzie, an eight-hour drive from the 7-Eleven store on Tranquille Road in Brocklehurst, where he was struck in the head with a long board, ending up in a coma in Royal Inland Hospital. That was on March 24. The teen was arrested in mid-June, released on bail and then charged with additional offences after a confrontation with a bylaws officer, an incident at a group home in which he was living and a trip to a store where the teen allegedly became angry and threatened to hit employees with a longboard. “They need to do something with this kid or he’s going to kill somebody,” Forry said. “And, if the government knew he was like that, they shouldn’t have let him out in public.” Forry said he is surprised the teen has indicated he will plead not guilty to the assault “because everything’s on video from the store.” He scoffed at the list of challenges the youth’s lawyer said he lives with, including post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and his own assault while a youth. “I have PTSD, too,” Forry said. “They took out a piece of my skull, two inches by six inches, and they found a lot of things wrong when they looked at my brain. There were 11 machines that kept me going at one time. Somebody’s got a picture of it, but I don’t need to see it.” Forry is unable to return to his mining work, where he dealt with heavy hydraulics. “I’m trying to live on half of what I used to make,” he said. “It’s all gone gnarly now. It’s tough. I don’t know what the hell I’m going to do.” Forry has spoken with a lawyer, who told him it would be difficult to sue the youth or the government that had placed him in care. “So, I guess I’m just going with this sleigh ride and see what happens with this kid,” he said. The teenager, who turns 16 later this year, is now in a care home on the Coast and Judge Chris Cleaveley, in releasing him, said he is confident enough controls are in place to protect society. No date has been set to deal with the charges.

Leong elects trial by judge and jury

PONY UP! By Andrea Klassen STAFF REPORTER andrea@kamloopsthisweek.com

“I might cry,” Helayna Miller told her mother on the morning of Tuesday, Sept. 3. Later that day, Helayna, 9, headed to the hair salon for the first time since kindergarten to chop off about 11 inches of her long, blonde hair. Also heading for the big chop were her sister Jaydah Bond, 14, and Shyla Huston, 11. The girls will donate their ponytails to Pantene Beautiful Lengths, which collects hair to make wigs for Canadian cancer patients. Helayna, a student at Lloyd George elementary, said she was inspired to cut her hair after talking to a friend who wears wigs because of her alopecia — a condition that often results in bald patches. She said her friend told her wearing a wig made her feel beautiful. “Last year at the end of school, she decided she was going to do it,” said Taunya Romano, Helayna’s mother. “She spent the whole summer telling everyone and I though she might chicken out — and she didn’t.” Still, there was a moment of suspense when the scissors were raised at the Get Polished salon on Victoria Street. While Helayna held onto enough hair to put her tresses up as required for her ballet classes, the shoulder-length snip is the shortest her locks have ever been. A few minutes after the cut, she described the new ’do as good — but maybe a little “weird.” The three ponytails donated from Helayna’s ponytail drive will be enough hair to make half a wig.

Nine-year-old Helayna Miller gets her ponytail snipped by Tiffany Nowell at Get Polished in downtown Kamloops on Tuseday, Sept. 3. Helayna and three others donated their hair to wig-making charities in a ponytail drive she helped create. Andrea Klassen/KTW

Former city councillor Joe Leong will be back in Kamloops provincial court on Thursday, Sept. 19, to fix a date for a preliminary hearing and trial on six charges relating to an audit of the Kamloops Heritage Train Society. During an arraignment hearing on Tuesday, Sept. 3, Leong pleaded not guilty to theft over $5,000, breach of trust and fraud charges that were laid against him in July. Leong elected to be tried by judge and jury, with a preliminary hearing to be held to determine if the matter will proceed to trial in B.C. Supreme Court. Neither will take place until 2014. The charges came after Kamloops RCMP was asked by city administration to look into the finances of the Kamloops Heritage Railway Society, for which Leong acted as treasurer for a time. After an audit of the society books was completed, the city still had questions about the group’s accounting practices and what appeared to be two instances of $100,000 being moved out of society bank accounts for several months and then returned. The heritage train has been parked after repairs to the engine were ordered by Transport Canada. The estimated cost of the repairs is $400,000.

The Real Cost of Speeding Through a School Zone Traveling faster than 30 km/h in a school zone (in force from 8 am to 5 pm on all regular school days) could cost you big... $196 to $253 plus driver penalty points. But, what’s the real cost of speeding through a school zone? In Canada, pedestrian incidents are the leading cause of death for children under the age of 14. Most incidents occur between 3 and 6 pm, when motorists are coming home from work and when children may be walking home from school. Tips for Motorists: - Slow down and drive with extra care around schools and playgrounds; - Always yield to pedestrians in crosswalks; - Be alert to vehicles stopped in the lane next to you as they may be yielding for a pedestrian; - Do not stop in “No Parking” or “No Stopping” zones or designated bike lanes. Tips for Pedestrians: - Never jaywalk! Always use the crosswalk; - Make eye contact with drivers before crossing the street so you know they see you and they know you see them; - Look left, then right, then left again; - Don’t step onto the crosswalk until all vehicles have stopped moving; - If a crosswalk is pedestrian light controlled, press the button to activate the signal and wait until lights are flashing and traffic is stopped before crossing. - On streets with no sidewalks, walk facing traffic, as far to the left as possible. School zones are in effect on school days between 8 am and 5 pm.

the loose concrete doesn’t affect the structural stability of the bridge itself, noting Overlanders is still safe to drive across. The city’s last inspection of the bridge was completed last month, she said, though a full report is pending.

The Overlanders Bridge is shedding, but city staff say flaking concrete is more of a concern to drivers underneath the structure than to those using it to cross the river. On Sunday, Sept. 1, city inspectors briefly closed the portion of West Victoria Street passing under the bridge after a piece of concrete about the size of a hand fell off the structure’s western sidewalk support. City capital projects manager Kristen Meersman said it’s not the first time the bridge has shed concrete, but it is the first time it has done so onto a city roadway. “That’s what’s causing us more concern, is that falling debris, rather than the piece that fell,” she said.

Larry Foss ready to tell his Second Chance tale

EARS AGO, A COUPLE of cowboys wandered into the KTW newsroom. It was close to quitting time and the only reporters still working were then-entertainment reporter Mikelle Sasakamoose and me. Mikelle knew one of them and I hung around as they talked about his dream of creating a theme park at the area of the Thompson River known as Indian Point. And that’s when I met Larry Foss. I’d already met his alter-ego when we rode the 2141 steam train to experience a 21st-century, well-choreographed train robbery — something he did 483 times before his life almost ended when he was crushed by a horse in 2007. Larry was 53 when it happened. He was auditioning a horse for a movie being shot in the area when something went wrong. He spent 93 days in a coma, his kids were told not to expect him to recover and he spent months and months learning to walk again. So, it was wonderful to be able to share Larry’s 60th birthday earlier this week with some of his friends and family. The gathering was down at Riverside Park and it came complete with an impressive spread, courtesy of his friends and his chef-son. And, true to his own persona, there were Stetsons and guitars and picking and singing, songs that included lyrics like “Can’t help it if I’m still pissed off with you” and “Take me as I am or let me be.” Hurtin’ songs for a man who had

DALE BASS Street

LEVEL endured unimaginable pain and lived to talk about it. Larry calls me every few months to let me know how he’s doing. He’s been making those calls for years now and it’s been inspiring to watch the progress, albeit slow, he has made. At first, the conversations didn’t last long because Larry’s memory was still affected by the accident. Later, after he had spent a lot of time at a rehabilitation clinic in Ontario, the conversations lengthened as he talked about what he was doing to recover — and his goal of once again riding a horse. Still later, he set up an office downtown and had a saddle on a sawhorse, determined to eventually at least sit high and remember why he fell in love with the cowboy life. Once that challenge had been met, the next one was to get back up on a real horse again. He met that one, too. Through it all, he would phone. Sometimes there were tears as Larry struggled to cope with the emotions and post-traumatic stress disorder his new journey was creating.

He worked up the courage to pitch one of his dreams to the folks from the CBC show Dragons’ Den when they came to town, steeling his nerve, but ending up in tears, simply overwhelmed by the totality of the experience. Most recently, Larry’s goal has been to get his driver’s licence reinstated — a difficult task because he had a brain injury and, once that’s happened, a lot of your abilities can be impaired. He’s heading down to Vancouver later this month to do the steps required to perhaps accomplish this goal. Sometime around Christmas, he plans on publishing a book of poetry — and he’s got plenty to draw from, since he’s been writing cowboy poetry for years. In fact, he brought one to his party to read, simply titled The Gal, a tale about the gal who invented kissing — and how he’d like to meet her. Despite the horse-riding and poetryreciting, at heart, Larry said, he’s an historian, someone who sees a photograph of the very first winner at the inaugural Calgary Stampede and wonders who he was, where he come from and what he did with his life. The screenwriter side of Larry is already pondering how to tell that man’s life story. But, that side is also thinking about telling another cowboy’s story. Larry says it will likely be called A Second Chance — and it will be his story, one with chapters he never thought would be written. “I didn’t think I’d make it to 60,” he said. “But, here I am.” dale@kamloopsthisweek.com kamloopsstreetlevel.tumblr.com

Will the words of Cathy McLeod and Justin Trudeau come back to burn them the next time they try to enter the United States? Much was made of the federal Liberal leader’s admission that he had smoked pot while serving as an MP — a practise that remains illegal in Canada and the U.S. Shortly thereafter, during an interview with KTW, McLeod, the Kamloops-Thompson-Cariboo Conservative MP, admitted to smoking marijuana while in university. On the Labour Day weekend, the omnipotence of border guards was again on full display as news outlets reported on the experience of Jessica Goldstein, a 30-yearold White Rock student. She managed to get herself banned from Uncle Sam’s land when she replied to a question at the border. Goldstein was asked: Have you ever smoked marijuana? She replied she had, just the week before, in fact. She also admitted taking magic mushrooms and ecstasy and now finds herself on the outside looking into the United States. The question is: Will McLeod, Trudeau, Toronto Mayor Rob Ford and the many other politicians who have admitted smoking a joint be subject to the same Draconian response from the United States? Probably not, simply because of who they are and what they do. If you are a simple student going to a concert in the U.S., admitting to smoking a fatty can change your life for the worse. If you are an MP going to a conference in the U.S., sharing an identical admission at the border will result in you getting to that meeting. Why? Because life is not fair and because not all people are subject to the same punishment when breaking the law. Goldstein’s greatest crime was not smoking pot — it was being foolish enough to admit as much at the border. All pot smokers take note: When crossing into the United States of America, always adopt a don’t ask, don’t tell policy.

How will Ajax be proactive in preventing particulate problems? Editor: Re: Yves Lacasse’s letter of Aug. 22 (‘Zero harm a core value of KGHM Ajax’): In his letter, Ajax externalaffairs manager Yves Lacasse gives lip service to concerns of the citizens, but provides no details, no data and no specifics regarding how the potential problems will be prevented before they occur. People don’t want a phone number to call after there is a serious health problem. They do want damage to the ecosystems and human health to be avoided in the first place. Let’s consider an actual number from the mine’s own subcontractor, Stantec. Stantec says 16 g s-1 (grams per second) of PM2.5 (particulate matter less than 2.5 micrometers in diameter) would be emitted in its “worstcase” scenario. This “worst-case” emission rate of PM2.5 for a day will occur in the 14th year of mine operations.

It’s a model calculation, of course, with unknown accuracy, but let’s take it at face value and see what it means. The total particulate matter produced is estimated to be six times more than this, but let’s look only at the PM2.5. These are the fine particles in the air that will get deep into the human respiratory (breathing) system. The study was sent by Stantec to the B.C. Environmental Assessment Office on May 8 (a100.gov.bc.ca/appsdata/epic/html/deploy/epic_ document_362_35719.html). Actually 16 g s-1 of PM2.5 doesn’t sound like a lot of fine particles, but air quality guidelines don’t deal with grams per second of emissions. The British Columbia objective for PM2.5 is 25 ug m-3 (25 micrograms per cubic meter of air) for a 24-hour period and 8 ug m-3 as an annual average. The planning goal is 6 ug

m-3 as an annual average. This goal cannot presently be met even without the mine in operation. What is relevant is that 16 g s-1 is 1.4 million million micrograms per day. That’s a lot. To compare this emission rate to the B.C. air-quality objective, we have to put the PM2.5 into a volume of air. If we assume a layer 10 metres deep, eight kilometres long and moving at two metres per second all day long over the mine site, the concentration of PM2.5 in the air passing through the mine site’s boundary would be about 100 ug m-3. This air would move into the city with both the prevailing winds and the mountain drainage winds. Along the southern boundary of the city, this would be four times the B.C. PM2.5 objective of 25 ug m-3. Therefore, using the mine’s own number for worst-case emissions of PM2.5 and some

simple arithmetic, we see there could easily be a huge negative impact on air quality in the city. Other assumptions can be made about emission rates and about the winds and the air entering the city, but clearly the impact on air quality in Kamloops will not be zero. Each microgram of material added to our air is important because each microgram can be composed of up to one-hundred billion individual particles. These go into our respiratory system and, depending on their sizes, shapes and chemical composition, have been documented to cause a wide range of health problems (see kphe.ca). Using just one number from the mine’s own documents shows that KGHM Ajax’s sales pitch about “zero harm” is marketing, but not reality. Robert Schemenauer, Ph.D. (atmospheric physics) Kamloops

Let them eat harvest

Legal impunity for just $10

Editor: Re: (‘No Harvestfest bounty this year,’ Sept. 3): It breaks my heart to think that an unhappy individual or two can disqualify the benefit of gathering at Thistle Farms. What has happened to neighbourhood goodwill? If parking needs a little more organization, so be it. Perhaps local RCMP officers can lend a hand. Events like these should be applauded. They benefit not only fundraisers, but also private occasions that can highlight the importance of country to all of us. In an age where many children think milk comes from a carton, meat comes from plastic wrap, vegetables pop up from a grocery aisle and nearly every snack we eat comes from a package, it is utterly vital that we appreciate the small acknowledgement that is given to food production. No one should interfere with a simple gathering to celebrate the wholesome organic food that is disappearing from the world at an alarming rate. We need more attention directed at the harm to nutriton caused by disruptions such as GMOs, loss of bees and the application of many pesticides shown to be more harmful as time marches on. Let’s not allow spurious complaints to prevent our education in the health benefits of fresh farm food.

Editor: It is rather interesting how the laws of our city can be swayed for such a small amount. However, should you be the one who has not persuaded the city with a little graft, then you could be looking at a hefty fine. I like to cycle through my neighborhood with my two dogs. I ride wearing a helmet — obeying traffic laws and both of my well trained German Shepherds are on leash, licensed, spayed and vaccinated. In my pocket you will find doggy bags for those little accidents while out. I’m a responsible pet owner enjoying my local area. The local park has a pathway running through the centre of it, which leads to many roads for us to break up the monotony of exercising. Unfortunately, I cannot use this path because a bylaw prohibits dogs in this park. So, we are forced to detour a considerable

Colleen Carbol Kamloops

distance and negotiate the sidewalk, which has been encroached upon by telephone poles, making it quite dangerous. It is illegal for me to pass through the park with my two dogs, but if I pay a $10 variance to the city, I can host a dog show with over 100 canine friends in attendance from all the provinces in that same park. The parks bylaw signage is poor at best. Of the few signs posted, they are illegible from wear or vandalism and a few of the entrances are not marked at all. If the city can afford to patrol and to hand out violation tickets, it can certainly afford to properly maintain its signage. It is sad that our city will infringe upon the everyday movements of its citizens but, for a paltry sum, will allow outsiders to come in and do as they please. Scott Casey Kamloops

Members of the Kamloops RCMP and city bylaws services were kept occupied dealing with a black bear that wandered into Riverside Park on Tuesday, Sept. 3. Conservation officer Andy MacKay said officers at the scene initially tried to move the two-year-old black bear toward Mission Flats. The bruin had other ideas and was eventually chased up a tree. Because the bear wasn’t habituated, MacKay said the decision was made to leave him be and let him wander off on his own — as he did later that evening.

U-Haul driver dies in Coquihalla crash The B.C. Coroners Service has identified a Vancouver Island man as the driver of a U-Haul truck who died in a Labour Day weekend collision near Kamloops. Courtney Ryan Philipow, 37, most recently of Campbell River, was the driver and sole occupant of a U-Haul moving van that struck the rear of a slow-moving semitrailer in the northbound right lane of the Coquihalla Highway at about 3:40 p.m. on Saturday, Aug. 31. The crash occurred about seven kilometres south of the highway exit to Logan Lake, between Kamloops and Merritt.

A Kamloops senior died in an accident near Burns Lake on Monday, Sept. 2.

POLICE BEAT The B.C. Coroners Service has confirmed Rodney Randolph Hoffman was the only occupant of a vehicle travelling east on Highway 16 just before noon that day when it collided with a westbound motor home. Hoffman was declared dead at the scene, about 30 kilometres west of Burns Lake, a town that is 226 kilometres west of Prince George.

Spike belt snares teenaged suspects Kamloops Mounties used a spike belt to stop a vehicle wanted after a report of suspicious activity in the wee hours of Wednesday, Sept. 4, at the Silver Sage Trailer Park on

Athabasca Street. Cpl. Cheryl Bush said a call was received at about 2:30 a.m. and the vehicle was found on Mount Paul Way. She said it sped off when police tried to pull it over and officers chose to not pursue it. The vehicle was later found on East Shuswap Road and the belts were used to stop it. Two teenage boys were arrested and taken into custody. Bush said the investigation is continuing.

Did you see this hit-and run crash? Kamloops RCMP are hoping someone saw an early-morning collision on Tuesday, Sept. 3, at the intersection of Highway 5 North and Halston Road. Bush said a southbound vehicle headed into the intersection was hit from behind by a

fast-travelling vehicle at about 4:40 a.m. The impact caused the first vehicle to spin into the oncoming lane and flip before landing in a ditch. The two

occupants were taken to Royal Inland Hospital with non-life threatening injuries. The vehicle that caused the impact left the scene and evidence

found only indicates it was likely a Dodge pickup truck. Anyone with information is asked to call the RCMP at 250-8283000.

Former Storm player not expected to survive crash Members of the Kamloops Storm of the Kootenay International Junior (B) Hockey League were shocked to hear former teammate Taylor Ward was expected to die from injuries suffered in a car accident on Tuesday, Sept. 3. At last report, Ward, 19, was in very critical condition in hospital in Pocatello, Idaho. “Lot’s of them are pretty shaken up,” Storm head coach Ed Patterson told KTW. “Lots of them were pretty good friends.” Ward, of Vacaville, Calif., was doing missionary work for the Church of Jesus Christ Latter-Day Saints in Pocatello when the accident occurred. He was the passenger in a vehicle being driven by a 20-year-old fellow missionary, John Floyd, who drove through a stop sign, according to Idaho state police. The car collided with the passenger side of a Ford F350 pickup truck. Ward was taken to hospital in critical condition, later changed to “very critical condition.” Representatives of his church told Utah media he had been put on life support. The pickup driver was treated for injuries at the scene. Floyd was released from hospital on Wednesday, Sept. 4. Patterson said there would be a moment of silence to remember Ward before the Storm’s exhibition game against 100 Mile House at McArthur Island Sports and Event Centre on Wednesday, Sept. 4. Ward began his two-year mission in July.

KENNETH LLOYD AUSTIN October 10, 1925-August 29, 2013 Kenneth passed away peacefully Thursday morning at the Marjorie Willowby Snowden Hospice where he had spent his final days.

FITZPATRICK CONSTANCE THÉRÈSE MARIE (née VINCENT)

CARLSON (née Snowden)

August 1, 1960 - August 30, 2013 Surrounded by her family and bathed in love, Connie succumbed to a valiant eight month battle with leukemia at 1:07 pm. She was joyfully greeted by our infant daughter, Morgan, upon transition. She leaves behind her devastated and grieving family: husband Marvyn, daughter Alyse, and son Keenan. She is survived by a loving host of family: mother and father Anita and Albert Vincent, sisters Brigitte (Dave) DeAngelis, Louann (Dan) Marshall, Anissa (Richard) Pelland, and brother Ken (Colette) Vincent. Also left mourning are her in-laws: mother Elma Fitzpatrick, Morley (Debbie) Fitzpatrick, and Marlene (Rob) Cathcart, and Laurie (John) Monkley. An incredible host of beloved nephews, nieces, aunts, and uncles, and friends also grieve her passing. Connie was born in Selkirk, Manitoba, lived in St. Georges, and moved with her family to 100 Mile House. After graduation, she qualified as a medical office assistant and was employed in that capacity for many years. There were not too many sports she did not attempt, being most successful in badminton, curling, and slo-pitch, all with an eye to being the best she could be. Where she excelled truly was as a mother, wife, daughter, sister, aunt, granddaughter, and all around relative. Her definition of family included friends from all walks of her life. Her love of people was all inclusive. To have her on your side was to really know your back was covered. Towards the end, she was puzzled by how many people stated their love for her. The answer was simple: love begets love. On behalf of her family, we would like to extend our thanks to all those who have given so much throughout her ordeal. We cannot express how much our families, St. Ann’s staff and family, her employers (Drs. Treissman & Okano and staff), TRU and staff, and so many others lightened our burden. If anyone has been overlooked, please excuse the omission. There were and still are so many. Cremation has taken place. A memorial service is planned for Thursday, Sept. 5, 2013 at Holy Family parish in Valleyview. Casual wear (including Canuck and Blazer jersies) are welcome. We gather to celebrate a lovely person.

(Aida) Pearl Carlson (née Snowden), aged 98 years passed away peacefully on August 12, 2013. Sadly missed by her loving daughter Janice Carlson-McLeod (Terry), grandchildren Amanda Bounds (Ron), Jessica McLeod, great-grandchildren Jayson Bounds, Justin Bounds and Autumn McLeod, as well as many relatives and friends. She is predeceased by her husband Emil Gustav Carlson in 1974, sisters Bonnie Miller and Rae Martin, and brother Lloyd Snowden.

In Loving Memory of Robert Bruce MacDonald (Shrek) April 26, 1958 September 5, 2011 Geocacher, Motorcyclist, Scuba Diver, Computer Nerd, Flight Services Specialist Lynia Rae & Family Rob was predeceased by his young nephew Danny and his parents George and Mary

No clear consensus on city council salary By Andrea Klassen STAFF REPORTER andrea@kamloopsthisweek.com

By the end of September, Brant Hasanen and the other six members of the city’s council pay task force are hoping they will have a recommendation on what the city’s elected official should earn — a number that will work for everyone. But, after four information gathering missions at various city events, there’s no clear consensus as to what they ought to suggest. “Our community is really engaged and there are a lot of opinions on how this recommendation should look,” said Hasanen, who chairs the task force. “The downside is, everybody’s opinion is very different.” To get public feedback, the committee hit up Music in the

Park events on both the North and South shores as well as a downtown farmers’ market and Overlanders Days in McDonald Park. In terms of volume, the group’s plan — to talk to as many average citizens as possible — appears to have worked. Hasanen said he alone spoke with about 150 people. But, he said, the opinions he’s getting from people don’t offer an easy solution. “The main question on the questionnaire is, ‘Do you think that our councillors should be paid based on the average of a similar-sized community?’” he said. “Lots said yes and a lot said no.” The average pay question is what initially sparked the debate on council wages. Earlier this summer, Coun. Nancy Bepple asked city staff to look

at what other councillors made in Kelowna, Prince George and other communities. According to a report, Kamloops’ councillors’ $25,000 salary is about $13,000 below the provincial average for mid-sized municipalities. Councillors tried to tackle the disparity on their own, but eventually agreed to pass the issue on to a citizen committee, while giving themselves a small raise that will kick in next year. Hasanen said the differences in public opinion are going to make his committee’s job tougher. “It would have been a lot easier for me if everyone had a common message and we could just stand up in front of council and say ‘OK, this is what we heard,’” he said. “But, that is not the case.”

Besides public opinion, the group is also looking at council’s own debate on the pay issue. Hasanen said committee members will start looking for more statistical data. “What are the aver-

ages? What are the costs involved in having a councillor? How do you measure what do they really do?” Hasanen asked. The group’s recommendation must be in by Sept. 30. After that,

city staff will look it over and formally pres-

HEN THEIR child was diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes, the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation (JDRF) suddenly became more than just another charity to Ryan and Jennifer Holowaychuk. Ayden Holowaychuk was three years old when he began getting sick. After a week, his parents took him to a doctor, where it was discovered he had diabetes. “It is very scary to have your child in any kind of dangerous situation,” Ryan said as he reflected on the experience. “But, at the end of the day, we were just thankful he was alive.” Since that day, their lives have changed in many ways, Ryan said — but, thanks to local support, it also remains the same. After Ayden’s diagnosis, food became a bigger deal. “It isn’t just Ayden’s food, either. We have been paying more atten-

tion to our own food as well,” Ryan said, explaining the family now checks the labels on everything. “Kamloops has a huge JDRF community,” Ryan said, noting the support his family gets from the community. “It’s amazing here.” Ayden, who is now almost six, is a carefree child. Ryan describes him being “a little off” when his sugar is low, but otherwise is energetic and enthusiastic. “You wouldn’t even know he was diabetic,” Ryan said. “I think most are like that. You can’t just look at them and know.” Ayden knows of his condition and is OK with it, Ryan said. He requires up to five shots a day, but goes through the process without complaint. “It is us who are sweating,” Ryan said, noting he hates needles. “Ayden, on the other hand, he is sitting there saying, ‘Are you done yet? I need to play.’” While the situation has become a bit easier for the family, it remains

a learning process. “It is still something we deal with every day,” Ryan said. Ayden started Grade 1 this week and being away from their home all day means Ryan and Jennifer are relying on school aids to monitor their son’s blood-sugar levels. “We are very thankful to have those people in place for us,” Ryan said. Despite the extra help, Jennifer still needs to make a trip to the school twice a day to administer Ayden’s insulin, a process that can be daunting at times. “It could be worse,” Ryan said. “And Ayden is happy and healthy.” When he is older, Ayden will learn to administer the insulin himself and eventually qualify for a pump. For now, however, daily trips to and from school are a necessity. Ryan’s experience with diabetes led him to learn more about the JDRF, an organization that raises money and awareness in its aim to find a cure for Type 1 diabetes.

“It’s one of those things where you always knew it was there but, once you rely on it, you become fully engulfed in it,” Ryan said. The Holowaychuks are involved with the JDRF in number of ways and their company, Noran Printing, is also a sponsor of the foundation’s many fundraising events. Noran provides all printed material for the Kamloops foundation and surrounding chapters at no cost. Noran is also title sponsor of the Sept. 15 JDRF Swing For The Cure golf tournament in Kamloops, a main fundraiser for the JDRF and its ongoing research. “I am positive there is going to be a cure found,” Ryan said. “They have already made steps towards it.” Included in the progress is an artificial pancreas that made it into the second phase of testing and a new type of insulin, in the first phases of testing, which would require injection only once per week instead of six times a day.

JDRF golf tourney set to tee off at The Dunes The fundraising tourney has been an annual event, as Mike Weinerth discovered while playing in 2008. KTW file photo

This year’s Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation Golf For The Cure tourney will take place on Sunday, Sept. 15, at The Dunes at Kamloops. There will be a number of pharmacies represented at the event, as well as those who can speak on what advances

have been made. The best-ball golf tournament has a Mardi Gras theme, with beads given out and each hole with its own challenge reflecting the theme. There will be plenty of prizes up for grabs, including two $10,000 holein-one chances, a one-year membership to the Dunes

and a 22-foot trailer. “It is about raising money for a good cause, but it also has the awareness factor and it is fun,” Ryan said, stressing that it is a family event. “Ayden will be out there on the course with me. We are there for fellowship, to learn and have fun while

doing it, so it makes it all even better.” With only 144 spots available, the tournament sells out each year. Those wishing to register should do so soon by emailing Shianne Carswell,

the JDRF’s fundraising coordinator, at kamloops@jdrf.ca. Cost per player is $125, with registration and prelunch at 11 a.m. and a shotgun start at 12:30 p.m.

ERMAINE LOEWEN WAS ONE OF MORE THAN 50,000 ORPHANS IN JAMAICA. Now he wants to be the second person born in the Caribbean island nation to play in the National Hockey League. “I always thought maybe I’d be some guy living in the streets,” said Jermaine, one of the Kamloops Blazers’ most tantalizing prospects, drafted in Round 3 of the Western Hockey League bantam draft in May. “All of a sudden, I find myself playing hockey at 10 and playing triple A at 11 or 12. People didn’t think that was really possible. “I was like, ‘If you don’t think it’s possible, I’m going to prove it to you.’” The 15-year-old’s journey to Arborg, Man., from an orphanage in May Pen, Jamaica, began 12 years ago. Stan and Tara Loewen travelled to the children’s home on a twoweek Christian mission trip with no intention of adopting.

Before they left Canada, the couple looked at photos. “Stan pointed to this one picture of this little guy wearing a Chicago shirt and said, ‘I want to bring that one home,’ and we laughed,” Tara said. “Beside his picture, it said: ‘Needs a lot of attention.’” For all they knew, these were stock photos — “Those ones used by Compassion Canada or World Vision,” Tara said — and the children could have been from any number of places.

On Day 1 of the trip, they pulled into the orphanage and their car was instantly surrounded by a group of children, one of them more familiar-looking than the others. “I said, ‘Hey Stan, look who’s here,’ and it was Jermaine,” Tara said. “Throughout the week, we were just drawn to him and we realized this kid does not belong here. He needs a family. “We went to the local social services and they said, ‘Out of the 18 kids here, he’s the only one available [for adoption]. “Twenty-one months later, he was home.” Jermaine was three when the Loewens claimed him as their own. He was five when he landed in the Great White North. The nearly two-year waiting period was agonizingly long. “You’ve seen the children’s home that they live in,” Stan said. “No matter how good an orphanage is, it’s never a family. “It’s hard for two years knowing every night he’s going to bed and no one’s tucking him in. “It’s hard knowing he’s growing

up without you.” Since adopting Jermaine, the Loewens have expanded by two — welcoming a sister, six-year old Makeda from Ethiopia, and a brother, four-year-old Nathanael from Jamaica. The Loewen clan, with two white parents and three black children, stands out in rural Manitoba. “Quite honestly, we don’t even think about it,” Tara said. “We’re used to a lot of looks when we go out for dinner but, in our small town of about a thousand people, everybody knows who we are. “People have been super accepting. He’s been completely embraced by our community.” Jermaine, born in Mandeville, Jamaica, said it took some adjusting to get used to life on the prairie. “You do get a little bit intimated,” he said. “Where I come from, there was not very many white people. You’re kind of like, ‘Oh, I wish there was more black people.’ You always say that, but I love the people that I live with. “Skin doesn’t matter. It’s the heart that always matters.” Heart is something Jermaine has in abundance.

He’s progressed from skating like a baby calf, according to his mother, to vying for a spot on the Blazers’ roster. He feels strong ties to his place of birth and the blossoming prospect wants to set an example for his orphaned countrymen. “There’s a lot of people that need help in Jamaica,” Jermaine said. “Maybe I’ll make it in sports and show people that you can make it in something if you put your heart and soul into it.” Kamloops head coach Dave Hunchak said Jermaine’s desire to succeed shone through at training camp. The six-foot-two, 175-pound forward was cut and sent back to Manitoba, but not before making a lasting impression. “He comes from a background that’s maybe not a traditional hockey background, but he loves to play the game and he’s a sponge,” Hunchak said. “There’s an athletic side. There’s a compete side. At the end of the day, he’s going to be a big, strong power forward that’s going to be scary to play against.” X See BLAZER A21

T STARTED FOR RANDY FRISKIE WHEN HE was 10 years old.

He crossed the border from Ontario into the United States with his older sister, who had secured a couple of tickets to see Elvis Presley perform at the Niagara Falls Convention Center. Friskie watched the King of Rock & Roll walk through a corridor and up onto the stage, where he proceeded to perform to a sold-out crowd. Eighteen years later, Friskie would make the same walk — wearing a similar get-up and sporting the iconic Presley ‘do — for a performance of his own. “I remember that and I remember thinking, ‘This is cool,’” Friskie told KTW. Now one of the most successful Elvis tribute acts in the world, Friskie will be playing the Sagebrush Theatre in Kamloops later this month. The Niagara Falls, Ont., native said his infatuation with the King began long before that concert in Niagara. X See FRISKIE B2

Friskie started ‘mimicking’ Elvis as a youngster X From B1

“I must have been pretty young, but I remember watching Love Me Tender and I got really sad when he died at the end,” Friskie said. “I thought, ‘Oh, he’s dead. I’m never going to see this person again.’ “My mom said, ‘No, it’s just a movie. I’ll show you another one tomorrow.’”

From a young age, Friskie said, he would imitate Presley. “I just started mimicking him,” he said. “All my friends said, ‘You sound like him.’” Then it was singing contests and more movies and even an Elvis puppet for a class project in Grade 4 — something Friskie said earned “good marks.” At the age of 14, Friskie began

playing part-time in his dad’s country band, so he knew he had musical chops. The following year, at an outdoor festival in his hometown, Friskie said he saw an Elvis impersonator take to the stage. “This guy came out and what bothered me the most was his attitude,” he said. “He just kind of walked around like a rock star.”

A few months later, Friskie had decided to pursue the Elvis thing as a career. But don’t call him an impersonator — Friskie bills himself as an “Elvis tribute act.” Now, after decades of taking to the stage and portraying Presley at various points in time, it’s becoming a bit of a family affair for the Friskies. When he takes to the stage in

Kamloops, Friskie will be flanked not only by his band — who he calls “some of the best players in the world” — but also by his 23-year-old daughter, Cassandra. Like him, Friskie said his daughter caught the performance bug early in life. “I remember when she was three or four years old, she’d be out playing with her friends,” he said. X See KAMLOOPS B3

HAT TIME OF THE YEAR HAS COME AROUND AGAIN. The days are getting shorter, the evenings cooler and the summer holidays are coming to an end. I have always enjoyed the change of seasons indicating the passage of

time and when the kids go back to school it feels like the beginning of a new year. When asked, most kids say they look forward to going back to class to see their friends, show off their new clothes and free themselves of the boredom of summer. X See ART B5

Art takes a lot of practice — so you should start early X From B4

Despite them telling you otherwise, I think — perhaps secretly — most kids like school. I believe they like the structure, the social aspect and even learning new things. Society is built on structure. We appreciate it as a necessity within our lives. Even artists need a reason to get up in the morning. In order to get good at what you do, you must practise and do the work — otherwise nothing happens. The perception that people who have the ability to paint or draw must somehow be gifted or they were just born with their abilities is incorrect. It’s like saying an Olympic gold medallist didn’t work to become an athlete or a doctor is just gifted at healing people. Learning how to draw, paint, sculpt, sing, dance or play an instrument takes years of dedication and practice. Artists are made, not born. A young student may have a liking for a particular craft, like art, and then spend hours doing it on their own because it gives them pleasure. They will develop an ability as a result of all their practice and hard work that may be recognized by their friends, teachers or parents. At this point in a young artist’s development, it’s a good idea to encourage and reward the creativity with positive feedback. Many self-taught artists will

run into creative roadblocks, and that’s when structure and the social aspect of learning new things comes into play. We all have social brains and do well learning from each other. Often a structured art/music/ dance class will take that selftaught ability and transform it into a real skill — or, as some people say, a gift. With the beginning of the new school year, take a moment and see if this is the right time to embark on a new creative path. Creativity is not only fun

Pair of Kamloops events aims to break silence Breaking the silence is key for the organizers of two events coming to Kamloops this month. On Monday, Sept. 9, Riverside Park will host Recovery Day, followed by World Suicide Prevention Day on Tuesday, Sept. 10. Both events feature a familyfriendly mix of free food, live entertainment and activities, but the focus is on getting the community talking about suicide and addiction. That’s the message from 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. Recovery Day starts at 2 p.m. on Sept. 9. World Suicide Prevention Day begins at noon with a barbecue on Sept. 10.

Get your walk on Riverside and McArthur Island parks will be busy with walkers this weekend as three fundraising and awareness events are held. • The 10th annual Parkinson SuperWalk takes over Riverside Park on Saturday, Sept. 7, with organizers hoping to see about 200 participants. Parkinson’s disease made new headlines recently when singer Linda Rondstadt, 67, announced she had been diagnosed with it and can no longer perform. It’s estimated there are 100,000 people in Canada with the disease, with an average

age of 60. Registration is at 10 a.m. with the walk starting an hour later. • Later that day, the Interior Chemical Dependency Office is moving into Riverside for the first Kamloops Recovery Day, scheduled to run from 2 p.m. to 6 p.m. The event is aimed at removing stigmas and increasing awareness of addictions. There’s no walking involved — unless you count moving from information booths to listening to speakers to taking the kids over to enjoy some activities designed for them. • On Sunday, Sept. 8, McArthur Island hosts the Ovarian Cancer Walk of Hope. There are two treks open, a two-kilometre walk and, for the more hardy, one that stretches five kilometres. Statistics show 2,600 women on average are diagnosed with ovarian cancer every year, with 1,750 dying from it, despite its potential cure rate of 90 per cent. Registration for the walk is at 9 a.m., and participants head out at 10 a.m.

A tale of almond joy I T HAD BEEN HER grandmother’s idea. While Amanda had planned to work at Tim Hortons for the summer, taking doughnut orders, making sandwiches or wearing a headset in the drive-thru window, her interview hadn’t gone well. Instead of answering that she liked to work with people and was good at handling difficult situations with a variety of personalities, she had said she was really only interested in the free Iced Capps at the end of shifts. It had been a joke, but she was the only who’d thought so. Instead, Amanda got a part-time summer job at a nursing home, where her grandmother had been a nurse for a thousand years or so. “Can’t you do something so I can at least work in the kitchen?” Amanda had asked when she’d been assigned to housekeeping. “Nobody starts in the kitchen,” her grandmother said. She had also given Amanda a bunch of advice, including, “Never take anything the old ducks try to give you.” On her first day, Amanda had spent the first hour being trained on the giant floor waxer that was so strong, and had such a will of its own, that is was like trying to walk a moose. Next, she was shown how to clean a resident’s room. She was then left to work alone for the next while. At first, she nervously hopscotched from room to room, trying to get in and out with her trolley of dusters and disinfectants whenever she spotted a resident leaving to visit with family in the common area. Or, when they went outside to push their walkers or wheel their wheelchairs through the garden walkway that extended around the property. Amanda simply didn’t know

Honey-roasted almonds

what to say. “Welcome to Tim Hortons. May I take your order,” had seemed so much easier. So, when Mrs. Schmidt in Room 13B, who had been sleeping

2 cups whole natural almonds 1/4 cup honey 2 tbsp. butter 1 tsp. smoked paprika 3/4 cup raw cane sugar (crystals) Spread almonds in a shallow pan. Place in cold oven; turn oven to 350 F and roast 12 to 20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until aroma is warm and nutty.

DARCIE HOSSACK

Bon APPÉTIT when Amanda crept in and began to dust, suddenly said, “You look like you’ve had a long day, sweetie. Why don’t you sit down for a few minutes?” — Amanda sat. For the next hour, she listened to stories like none she had ever heard. Sure, she had learned about the Second World War in social studies. But, there were more recent wars — and that one seemed forever ago. “My mother and I once shook Herr Hitler’s hand,” Mrs. Schmidt said. “That was before the war started. I always remember he was such a polite man that day. Later, though, we were running for our lives, along with others.” Amanda looked at Mrs. Schmidt’s shrunken form under the blanket and tried to imagine. “OK. Enough for today,” the older woman said. “Be sure to have an almond before you go.” It was then that Amanda remembered her grandmother’s advice. But, it was just an almond. She didn’t even like almonds

Over medium heat in medium pot, heat honey and butter to boiling. Reduce heat to medium low, simmer two minutes, stirring occasionally. Stir in almonds until coated. Stir in paprika, then simmer, stirring for two minutes. Transfer almonds to baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

and it seemed disrespectful to say no to such a small offering. Amanda took an almond from a dish on the bedside table, popped it in her mouth, then left to punch her time card. The next day, and every day after, Amanda punched her card before going into Mrs. Schmidt’s room. And, every day, she listened to stories. And, every day, she took an almond. It wasn’t until nearly the end of summer, when Amanda would be going back to school, that she

finally worked up her nerve and said: “I don’t really like almonds, you know. I come for the stories.” Mrs. Schmidt smiled. “It’s OK, sweetie. I don’t like almonds, either. I just suck the honey coating off and give the nuts away.” Darcie Friesen Hossack is a food columnist and author of Mennonites Don’t Dance, shortlisted for the Commonwealth Prize (first book, Canada and Caribbean) and Danuta Gleed Award runner-up onepotatotwopotato@shaw.ca

Spread in single layer to cool only slightly. Place raw cane sugar in a large bowl, then immediately add the still-very-warm almonds. Thoroughly toss and stir almonds until all the sugar has coated the almonds, and the almonds no longer stick together (much). Stir occasionally as they cool completely.

FAITH

Do you possess the gift of glossolalia?

PEAKING IN a language you have never learned is a phenomenon called glossolalia. Christians just call it speaking in tongues and it is something practised primarily in Pentecostal churches. Speaking in tongues is one of the variety of gifts of the Holy Spirit (other gifts include healing, prophesying, evangelizing, hospitality, teaching and interpretation of tongues). Pentecostal teaching asserts that speaking in tongues is a gift from God that is evidence a believer has received the Holy Spirit. It is controversial, partly because it is so unusual and, in my opinion, because it is a misused gift. The first evidence of speaking in tongues is found in the book of Acts.

CHRIS KEMPLING You Gotta Have FAITH Jesus had promised that, after his resurrection, he would send a “helper” (the Holy Spirit) to aid those who believed in him. The day that occurred was the day of Pentecost, when all believers were gathered together: “Suddenly a sound like the blowing of a violent wind came from heaven and filled the whole house where they were sitting . . . All of them were filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak in

IMAGINE

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

other tongues as the Spirit enabled them.” What was very remarkable about this event is that there were many devout Jews from all over the Roman Empire visiting Jerusalem for the Passover. Each one heard the tongues’ speakers praising God in their particular language (the passage identifies 15 languages). As Paul writes later, tongues are a sign for unbelievers, specifically to impress upon them that God is able to speak directly to them, in a miraculous way, in their own language. A number of Catholic saints and mystics spoke in tongues. John of Avila, Teresa of Avila, John of the Cross and Ignatius Loyola all reported the experience. One of the more

prominent examples was St. Vincent Ferrer, a Spanish friar ministering in Genoa, Italy in 1350. As a major trading city, there were people from many different countries. Dozens testified he spoke in their particular language, but Vincent told a board of inquiry that he only spoke the Spanish dialect of Valencian, as well as Latin and a little Hebrew. If people heard him preach in their language, he said, it was a miracle of God. The Apostle Paul warned against forbidding the use of tongues, but was critical of the misuse of the gift. Apparently, worshippers in the Corinthian church were speaking in tongues en masse and no interpretation of what was being said was provided.

gift tend to congregate together, where their gift is considered normal and encouraged, because, in almost every other Christian denomination, it is almost never practised or just considered weird. But, why is it that no one (at least in my experience) has the gift of interpretation of tongues? People can’t interpret if everyone talks at once. In effect, the Holy Spirit is “quenched” because those with the gift of interpretation are not given the opportunity to exercise it. The bottom line is that much incomprehensible speech is spoken and no one is edified by it. This is not right. If people wish to exercise the gift of tongues in church, it should be as the Apostle Paul directed.

tongues were spoken on almost every occasion, but not once did a different person interpret what was said. In other words, what Paul specifically warned against is common practice. There is a not-sosubtle pressure to speak in tongues when one attends a Pentecostal church. At one point, I fasted, sincerely prayed and met privately with the pastor to receive this gift. It didn’t happen. I have spiritual gifts, but I clearly wasn’t intended to have that one. Speaking in tongues is a gift of the Holy Spirit, a blessing for those who have received it, and is present to this day — but, as Paul said, it is the least important of all the gifts. Those who have this

To a visitor, it would have sounded like chaos and craziness. Paul writes: “So, if the whole church comes together and everyone speaks in tongues, and some who do not understand or some unbelievers come in, will they not say that you are out of your mind?” Essentially, Paul was insisting caution be exercised in the use of this gift and that it was far better that a clear, understandable message be given, rather than a cacophony of babbling. “If there is no interpreter, the speaker should keep quiet in the church . . . God is not a God of disorder, but of peace.” I was a member of a Pentecostal church for five years and have occasionally attended services at other Pentecostal churches. In my recollection,
